Qi Jiguang led the troops in a good way, and had a very high prestige among the county soldiers in Donglai County. Although the soldiers of the county knew that the attacking Japanese army was several times larger than their own after listening to Shangguan's account, nearly ninety percent of the soldiers decided to follow Shangguan to follow Qi Jiguang out of the city to meet the Japanese army.

At noon, more than 1,800 soldiers had been gathered in the interior of the school yard, and several generals had also returned to restore their lives.

Qi Jiguang bowed his hand to several generals and thanked him: "All the brothers trust me so much, Qi is grateful!" ”

A general laughed and said: "General Qi doesn't have to be polite, those of us who are soldiers are rough people, how you treat us on weekdays, and how the county guard treats us, the big guys are all looking at it." ”

Another general also chimed in: "That is, now that the Japanese are coming, how can we, who are soldiers, sit back and watch the people suffer?" It's a big deal, and it's better than hiding in the city as a turtle with a shrunken head! ”

"That's right, I'm fighting with the Woko!"

Several other generals also raised their arms and shouted.

"It's a great blessing to have a warrior like you!"

General Qi smiled and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "However, there are many Japanese soldiers, if we just rely on a momentum to do it, then the final outcome will only be to make more people suffer." In my opinion, it is the best way to deal with this gang of pirates. ”

"Although General Qi commands, all the brothers will obey you."

"When the Japanese army first arrived, they must not know the terrain of Qingzhou. We can take advantage of this advantage to defeat the Japanese army. ”

Qi Jiguang spread out a topographical map of Donglai County, pointed to a place above and said: "Brothers, please see, this place is called Qingfeng Gorge, the terrain is steep, the road is narrow, and the bushes are thick, it is the best place to use troops. Each of the brothers brought their own soldiers and horses, and carried the fire-starting objects with them to ambush on both sides of the canyon. The general led a group of men and horses to lure the enemy, and when the Japanese army was lured into the canyon by us, the generals blocked the valley mouth and set fire to the thieves. ”

When several generals heard this, they bowed their hands and said: "The general's plan is wonderful, and the Japanese army will definitely die this time without a place to be buried!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

In addition, after the Japanese army landed, they quickly broke through a coastal town while the Sui army was empty. In order to wash away the shame of the naval battle and boost the morale of their own side, the leading generals Shibata Katsutake and Maeda Keiji ordered a bloody sweep of the entire city.

The inhumane Japanese army suddenly wreaked havoc in the city like wild beasts, burning, killing and looting, and tossed for two days and two nights before leaving the city.

However, such atrocities did also greatly boost the morale of the Japanese army, and the more than 8,000 Japanese troops who were originally exhausted by the waves on the sea now became a hundred times more energetic, and rushed towards the distance in a mighty way.

"Brothers, speed up, last time it was just a small town for the Han people, and there are more treasures in the big city of the Han people!"

Shibata Katsutake took the lead in the front of the line, with a smug face. As the chief general of the army, everything he enjoys is certainly the best.

The only regret is that before the slaughter of the city, he forgot to catch a few live mouths and ask about the current situation of the Tang army in Qingzhou. But it doesn't matter, it's not too late to catch a few Han people and ask when the county is governed, and maybe you can catch a few Han officials in those big cities, and these big officials must know much more than ordinary people.

"Report, general, there is a Sui army blocking the road ahead, and the number is about three hundred."

"Three hundred! Hahaha, what can three hundred people do? ”

Keiji Maeda on the side laughed when he heard this.

"It is estimated that the main forces of the Sui army have been transferred to deal with the Tang army, and there are not many soldiers and horses left in the coastal area at all!"

The corners of Shibata Katsuya's mouth turned up slightly, and he slapped his horse and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Yamato nation, use your strength to defeat those Sui army rats who are not self-sufficient." I promise you that for every Sui soldier you kill, I will reward you with a wonderful Han woman! ”

"Whoa... Kill, kill, kill!! ”

More than 8,000 Japanese troops suddenly shouted wildly, rushing like a torrent that broke the embankment, and soon met the army led by Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang looked coldly at the swarm of Japanese soldiers rushing over, and said disdainfully: "A group of rabble, today I, Qi Jiguang, will use your blood to pay tribute to the innocent people who died at your hands!" ”

"Sui Dog, come and die!"

The Japanese general Keiji Maeda rushed over with a long knife waving his teeth and claws. Qi Jiguang didn't say a word, and then picked up a gun to meet him.

The two generals fought each other for more than 20 rounds, and Qi Jiguang pretended to be exhausted, sold a flaw and turned around and left. The soldiers under his command had already received his orders, and when they saw Qi Jiguang defeated, they immediately screamed and retreated, constantly losing their weapons and armor along the way.

"Hahaha, it turns out that the Han people are just so capable. Brothers, chase! ”

Looking at the embarrassed Sui army soldiers in front of him, Maeda Keiji suddenly laughed and yelled to lead the army to pursue.

Qi Jiguang led the army to fight and retreat, and gradually retreated into the area of Qingfeng Gorge.

Shibata Katsuie and Maeda Keiji were full of pride at the moment, where would they observe the surrounding terrain, and without hesitation, they swung their troops into the canyon.

"Kill the thief, kill the thief!"

Seeing that the Japanese army had all entered the canyon, the two sides suddenly shouted and killed, and countless boulders and trees rolled down, blocking the way of the Japanese army.

"Not good, there is an ambush!"

Maeda Keiji exclaimed, and the Japanese army suddenly panicked.

"Don't panic!" Shibata Katsuya roared and said in a deep voice: "The main force of the Sui army is fighting with the Tang army at the moment, how many men and horses can the Sui army ambush?" Let's go forward with me and rush out of the valley! ”

Maeda Keiji also calmed down after listening to Shibata Katsuie's words, and slashed several of the soldiers who had the most commotion with his sword, and said loudly: "Brothers, General Shibata is right, don't mess up your own formation, rush out with me and kill all these bluffing Sui soldiers. ”

At this moment, the Sui soldiers on the cliffs on both sides suddenly lifted the wooden barrels one by one and poured the liquid in the barrels downward, like heavy rain.

Smelling the pungent smell coming from the liquid, Shibata Katsuya finally changed his face and shouted loudly: "It's not good, everyone run, Sui Jun is planning to set fire to burn us to death in the valley." ”

Before the words could be spoken, countless rockets were shot down from the cliffs on both sides, and the fire was ignited in an instant. At this time, the wind in the canyon happened to be strong, and the fire became more and more violent with the help of the wind, and after a while, the entire canyon became a sea of fire.

The fire rose into the sky, and there was fire in all directions. At this time, Shibata Katsuie and Maeda Keiji no longer had a way to stabilize the formation. The Japanese army fled back and forth, trampling on each other, and countless people died.
