Chapter 322: The Ambitious
There are countless ambitious people in the world, and Yubi Masayuki is one of them.
While arguing with various military families in Edo, he also listened to the complaints of the samurai and ronin of the Tokugawa shogunate about the policies of the Tokugawa shogunate.
After that, Yubi Masayuki began to criticize the policies of the Tokugawa shogunate, and also rejected the shogunate's 5,000-stone official condition, which won the support and admiration of many low-level samurai and accepted a large number of disciples. It was probably at that time that the plan to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate by exploiting the anger of the low-level samurai arose in his heart.
If it were the history of the original plane, Yubi Masaseki would launch a ridiculous-looking rebellion a few years later, and then be easily crushed by the Tokugawa clan.
But in the current time and space, the appearance of Zheng Zhilong changed the fate of Yubi Zhengxue.
After seeing Zheng Jun's superior combat power, Yubi Zhengxue's heart was hot and hot, and more importantly, the samurai who were pulled by Zheng Zhilong to be a standing team were all people at the bottom and his innate allies.
Yubi Masayuki saw a brighter route from this.
Then he came to Nagasaki, and under the banner of clarifying the tactics of the Zheng army, he easily became a member of the standing team, and even the Tokugawa shogunate did not stop him in the slightest.
"Teacher, there is a report at the outpost, and traces of the brigade of clear soldiers have been found in the front. They seem to want to ambush our troops in the territory of Wuqing! Maruhashi Tadaya told Yubi Masayuki that he was Yubi Masayuki's proudest and most trusted disciple.
"There should be a lot of prisoners in the traces, is our department suspending the march until the follow-up troops catch up?" Their battalion is the vanguard of the great army.
"Yaga. Are the warriors of the Japanese Imperial Kingdom cowards who are afraid of war and avoid war? β
Yubi Zhengxue shouted angrily, but his hands were rubbing his knees, which were already a little sore, probably kneeling too much, and his knees were not very good.
Yubi Masayuki is not an orthodox samurai who wields a knife to cut people's heads, although he inherited the Kikusui banner of the Kusunoki family and the short knife of Kusunoki Masari, and became the orthodox heir of the Kusunoki clan, but compared to the samurai, he is more of a 'scholar'. It's just that I read the art of war of Nanmu Liu.
When he was over forty years old, his physical strength was not as good as when he was young, and his health was not very good, and he marched all the way to Wuqing, even if he was riding a horse, his bones were already sore.
However, when he heard that there were traces of Qing soldiers ahead, Yubi Zhengxue's spirit was suddenly shocked.
After scolding Maruhashi Tadaya, Yubi Masayuki looked at the shadows of the villages in front of him and said, "The terrain in Wuqing is flat, and if the Qing Yu wants to ambush our department, they will rely on the village embankment to block our view. β
"Pass the order, and the whole army will be on alert."
He did not stop and wait for the large forces in the rear to arrive, but chose to continue to move forward.
Because this time he was appointed as a striker, it was when Yubi Zhengxue was full of ambition, after coming to China from Japan, this battle was the first battle of his Yubi Zhengxue, and it was also the first battle in the real sense of their standing team, and it was the battle of the name of their standing team, how could they retreat?
What about the ambush of the captives? Let them taste what it is like to set up an ambush and be killed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the fame of the warriors of my imperial kingdom depends on you to render it. Zheng Guogong's army went north, and the battle was invincible, and he was already frightened, how could he stop the direction of our troops? We are all heroes who want to use the swords and guns in their hands to fight for their families and themselves, and today's battle is a good time for my imperial country to stand up for the world and make a name for itself. There's no reason to back down. Please fight bravely, and let those Qing prisoners see the majesty of our imperial warriors! β
Yubi Zhengxue is worthy of being a teacher for many years, and this remark is very encouraging.
The iron armor was strong, and the officers of the forward team responded in an uproar.
Well, this standing team is different from the previous standing team, the five hundred people led by Kenji Ono before, all of them were wearing Japanese armor. Because their main task is to defend Zheng Zhilong, not to go into battle to kill the enemy. Just like the three hundred black soldiers.
But the current standing team is a team that goes to the battlefield to fight, and wearing Japanese armor is not a pleasure, but a killing.
Now there are more than 1,000 soldiers under Youbi Zhengxue, all of whom are Zheng Jun armor, half iron armor, and half cotton armor. The former is also responsible for hand-to-hand combat.
"Forward, keep going!"
In the murmuring of Japanese, the team continued to move forward, with continuous footsteps, and rolled forward.
It wasn't until the time when the capital was about to be in Wuqing County that new news came from the sentinels in front, and the enemy army was found in front, about two or three thousand people, who were setting up a formation to intercept it.
Yubi Zhengxue only snorted, and then urged the soldiers to continue to move forward and go straight up!
Soon, a group of enemy troops appeared in front of him, and from a distance, it seemed that they were in a chaotic formation.
You Bi Zhengxue took out his binoculars and looked at it, and sure enough, as the sentry said, there were about two or three thousand people in that area, and he could clearly see that most of those Qing soldiers were infantry troops, and there were one or two hundred cavalry outside.
Less than a quarter of the foot soldiers had armor, and the weapons were ridiculous. He was stunned to see no cannons, only two or three hundred men with muskets in their hands, and the rest were all armed with spears, but there were quite a few archers.
In their position in the Chinese army, a large flag was also erected, and you can see that the word "Xu" is embroidered on it.
Yubi Zhengxue put down the clairvoyant mirror and sneered: "The rabble." β
His sentry had already ridden through several villages, but had not found any enemy troops. But no further, the Qing soldiers and horses were very desperate, and they fought very fiercely, and the strength was not something that they could penetrate. So the sentry did not know anything about the situation ahead.
A sneer flashed on Yubi Zhengxue's face, what else did you not understand? The Qing army in front of him was just a decoy.
"Just hit the front and break through the enemy's line."
Yubi Zhengxue's self-confidence was bursting, because the position behind them was Zheng Jun's soldiers at most. Ten miles of land is just an hour for Zheng Jun, but does the Qing army have the ability to eat themselves in an hour?
"Smack!" The pocket watch was closed, and Yubi Masayuki was full of confidence.
Passing down the order, the army strode forward to meet it, and when it approached two hundred paces in front of the Qing army, the whole army paused a little, and the sound of trumpets, shouts and drums continued to sound. The sergeants began to form a formation, and soon, five small phalanxes were laid out in formation.
Three front and two back, this is an offensive and defensive arrangement.
Seeing that his own military formation was soon formed, but the opposite side was still in chaos for so long, Maruhashi Tadaya couldn't help but relax. Several officers in the army were even more high-spirited, "Today will be a big defeat!" β
Unlike ordinary stand-ups, they don't want to die early. Because the formation of the Zheng army's subordinate team will definitely get bigger and bigger, because the Zheng family can recruit samurai from Japan every year. Now it's just one battalion, next year it's two battalions, and the year after next it's three battalions, and they're still counting on promotions and raises.
In Zheng Jun's opinion, the 'salary increase' after promotion is not a small amount. Not to mention, after they become camp officials, they can directly bring all their family members to China. Even if they can't be naturalized in a short period of time, they can take over a new life under the rule of the Zheng family and receive education in a bright classroom, that is their biggest dream!
In other words, when their positions became battalion officials, they returned to Japan, and the shogunate would certainly not turn a blind eye to them.
Yubi Zhengxue let out a long laugh and shouted, "Gentlemen, are you all ready?" β
"Hello!"
The loud cheers sounded, and more than 1,000 soldiers shouted in unison, like thunder.
"Prepare for battle!" Yubi Zhengxue looked at the soldiers behind him, which was really more rewarding than thousands of people listening to his lectures.
The passionate war drums sounded, and Yubi Zhengxue drew his saber and pointed forward: "The whole army, attack!" β
He had nothing to hesitate about the sparse Qing army in front of him.
"Forward!"
"Onboard!"
In the sound of the neat steps of the standing team, everyone's fighting spirit was victorious.
There was a panic in the Qing army, which was the inevitable choice of the rabble for the elite soldiers. The Zheng Jun in front of him, the weapons and equipment are far superior to them, not to mention, the key is the momentum of the latter, this feeling is extremely penetrating.
The team is very murderous.
"Shoot!" Yubi Masayuki shouted with his saber in his hand, although the whole army was commanded by a trumpet.
The sound of a musket like a burst of beans rang out, and the Qing soldiers here saw a fire in front of them, and then before they could react, blood mist shot out from the armor of the soldiers in the front row, and I don't know how many people rolled to the ground screaming in the next moment.
It's a battle with no suspense at all.
The Japanese samurai, who didn't even care about their lives, were trained to shoot three rounds per minute, and even five rounds at the training ground.
In the era of platoon shooting, the issue of mentality is really important and important.
Standing straight and waiting for the gunfire from the opposite side to hit is a lot of courage. Spiritual fear is like the biggest enemy of the musketeers, because even with the fixed ammunition, the loading of the musket also requires more than a dozen steps, and once this heart is panicked, it will inevitably greatly affect their rate of fire.
But the forward-looking players in front of him put their lives and deaths on the line, so it is not surprising that they can play a stronger effect than Zheng Jun. And their performance can further stimulate Zheng Jun!
As the main force of the Zheng army, isn't it ashamed to compare to a group of Dongying dwarfs?
Zheng Zhilong is really happy to see the team perform well.
The first row of musketeers stepped back, and the second row of musketeers stepped forward, pulling their triggers again and again.
Fierce firelight shot out, and the blood mist on the Qing soldiers on the opposite side was stirred up, and they were knocked to the ground one by one in panic.
They all shouted wildly, fled like madness, and swept down the flags. Even if the horse team is desperately trying to intercept, it can't stop the defeated soldiers.
The smell of blood came to Xu Er'an's mouth and nose one by one, and Xu Er'an couldn't help but shudder when he looked at the archers, musketeers and spearmen who were howling miserably on the ground.
Fortunately, fortunately, he can only lose and not win this time. Otherwise, what else would he use to win?
"Withdraw, withdrawβ"
He thought in his heart that this was not a fraud, this was a real failure, and he would definitely be able to lure the Zheng thief to the ambush circle.
Then what happened next had nothing to do with him.
"Vulnerable!"
Yubi Masayuki smiled contemptuously, and then looked into the depths ahead, where was his real test.
"Keep in the queue and keep going. The real test awaits us! β
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains, this requires courage and is very dangerous. But for the real strong, isn't this a fixed-point monster farming?
"Qing Lu is luring the enemy and deliberately leading our army deeper. If I continue the pursuit, and the Qing army is ambushed, and then Zheng Guogong can also lead the army to come, it will only be an hour. In this way, it will be possible to cooperate with the outside to break the captivity. It's a pity, it's a pity......" Yubi Masayuki said with a sigh, and Maruhashi Tadaya, who admired him very much, lowered his head and did not answer. What is the identity of Yubi Zhengxue, and what is the identity of Zheng Zhilong? There is no room for him to commit any of the following.
"You send people to tell Zheng Guogong quickly, our army has broken through the Qing army's weak soldiers of three or two thousand, the enemy has fled and fled, and I am leading the army to chase it." A cunning suddenly appeared in Yubi Zhengxue's eyes.
