Chapter 254: Either Your Own People or Your Enemies
The other Changxing troops who followed Tao Lei also rushed up, and soon beat the Japanese people to fight back.
Hundreds of corpses fell in front of them, blood staining the ground. In the distance, there were still figures flickering, and it was clear that the Japanese were preparing for their next attack.
Tao Lei saw that the widow had retreated, and his tense nerves relaxed a little. The tense defense just now made his back full of sweat, and as long as there was a little slackness, it was easy for the Japanese to rush up to hand-to-hand combat.
The soldiers of the Changxing Army also breathed a sigh of relief, and the hard work of the Japanese people was no less than that of the Jurchens. The kind of charge that sacrificed life and forgot to die made this group of veterans a little uncomfortable.
Orders were soon sent to them from outside the city, telling them to purge the city of the remnants of the enemy in hundreds.
As soon as Tao Lei's order was given, all the soldiers nodded in understanding. Only Ma Jingbo came to Tao Lei and kept asking: "Brother Tao!" The soldiers in the city are dressed the same as the common people, how can this be distinguished? ”
"Stupid! Not everyone is an enemy! Tao Lei scolded with hatred of iron.
Indeed, except for the more than 1,000 defenders in the original Minamisatsuma Castle, the rest of the ashigaru who were summoned were all dressed as civilians.
Many of them only have one moso bamboo in their hands, don't underestimate the moso bamboo. This thing is also a blood hole when it is pierced on a person's body, even if the Changxing Army has a cuirass defense, it will lose its combat effectiveness if it is stabbed in the limbs.
Since you can't tell which ones are civilians and which ones are Japanese soldiers, then you can kill them all. As long as it can reduce its own casualties, the Changxing army does not mind slaughtering the city.
The Changxing army at the gap in the city wall found that the Japanese did not continue to attack, and were just about to disperse their actions, when they heard "Gollum! Grunt! The sound of the vehicle came from afar.
"Defense!"
"Spear and shield defense!"
…… Shouts of defense sounded from the hundred-man team, and the spear and shield soldiers who had just put away their shields once again made a good defense.
At this moment, more than a dozen carts in the distance were pushed by the Japanese and rushed towards them. Hundreds of Japanese people followed behind them and killed them with their weapons held high, and when they saw the cart Tao Lei shouting: "Sword and shield soldiers, grenades!" ”
The sword and shield soldiers at the rear of the team quickly threw the grenade at the cart pushed by the Japanese people, "Boom! The sound of explosions was endless, and the originally traveling cart was suddenly blown over a lot.
The firecrackers immediately opened fire on the Japanese people who were exposed from behind, and for a while there was an explosion, and the screams of the people continued to sound.
There was even a muffled snort coming from the front of the Changxing army, and it was the few carts that had slipped through the net and crashed into the shield wall of the spear and shield soldiers.
Ma Jingbo was unlucky, the car in front of him was not damaged. The heavy body crashed into them and their companions, and they snorted, took a step back, and with the help of their companions, they pushed up the cart.
At this moment, several samurai armed with swords flashed from behind the cart, and they leaped high in the hope that they could jump over the shield wall and attack the musketeers behind them. The ashigaru people did not show weakness, and they also killed the Changxing army with bamboo guns and sticks.
Ma Jingbo has been holding the cart hard, and the widows behind the cart have not stopped the cart at all. They hoped that the cart could crash into the military formation of the Ming people and completely disrupt the formation of the Ming people.
At this moment, a samurai armed with a Japanese sword jumped on the cart, and he brandished the Japanese sword and slashed at Ma Jingbo.
Ma Jingbo, who was holding his shield with both hands, saw the samurai slash at him, and he could only use his helmet to slash it.
This knife was chopping on the top of Ma Jingbo's head, making Ma Jingbo dizzy, and the Venus in front of him was rising.
Just as the Japanese warrior was about to slash out the second sword, the sound of fire rang out behind Ma Jingbo. Blood splattered from the samurai's chest, and he fell into the cart.
Tao Lei ran up from behind to help Ma Jingbo withstand the cart, "How is it?" Horse boy! Tao Lei asked relationally.
"Nope! It's okay! Ma Jingbo's head was still a little dizzy, and his neck was a little painful. The sword of the Japanese warrior just now shook his eyes, and he didn't recover until Tao Lei stepped forward.
A few more grenades were thrown, and the Japanese were blown up again on their backs. They couldn't hold on any longer, and they all stepped back.
The Changxing army chased after the Japanese and killed them, and the streets of Minamisatsuma were stained red with blood, and the corpses of the Japanese were everywhere.
Tao Lei and his team of 100 people set their sights on the tallest building in South Satsuma City, and according to their thoughts, it must be the richest Japanese people living here. Ransacking this place will not only clear the Japanese people, but also get the godson's gifts.
They quickly approached the building's gate, where the explosion of several grenades strapped together reduced the sturdy gate to pieces.
The widows who had been blocking behind the door were also blown up and covered in blood, and they were a little dumbfounded when Tao Lei went in, this turned out to be a temple.
Many of the Japanese people and children in the courtyard were huddled in horror, and the monks on the ground, covered in blood, had already taken their last breath.
Although Tao Lei, who was born in Zhejiang, hated the Japanese people very much, he was a little overwhelmed for a while out of respect for the Buddha.
Just as he was in a daze, a samurai stood up from among the common people's children. The big bow in his hand was aimed at Tao Lei at the front, and before Tao Lei could react, a feather arrow shot at him.
This arrow was fast and urgent, and Tao Lei was shot on the helmet before he had time to dodge. The tremendous force caused his head to tilt back, and his neck almost snapped.
The man also took two steps back and fell to the ground, and a shout sounded from behind him: "Brother Tao! ”
Ma Jingbo shouted and ran to Tao Lei's side, and saw Tao Lei lying motionless on the ground. A sharp arrow had been shot into Tao Lei's helmet, and the long shaft of the arrow was exposed when it was inserted into it.
"Kill!" The roar shouted from the mouth of every Changxing army, and it was their soft-heartedness that made the captain not know whether he was alive or dead.
The firecrackers raised their firecrackers and opened fire on the Japanese people in the courtyard, and the Japanese women did not scatter and fled, but rushed towards the Changxing army with scissors, awls, and kitchen knives in their hands like the men.
For a while, blood splattered in the courtyard, and dozens of Japanese people fell to the ground. The courtyard was silent, only the sound of Changxing munitions reloading, and the sound of spear and shield soldiers replenishing the guns on the ground.
Just as Ma Jingbo pointed the spear in his hand at a dying Japanese people, a Japanese child in the pile of corpses next to him ran over and stopped in front of Ma Jingbo.
He looked at Ma Jingbo with teary eyes, and kept repeating the same words in his mouth. Although Ma Jingbo couldn't understand it, he also knew what this widow kid was talking about.
Thinking that Tao Lei still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Ma Jingbo's heart hardened. Da Shuai once said: Only the dead Japanese are the best Japanese people!
He gently kicked the child down with his foot, and the spear in his hand stabbed into the chest of the Japanese man on the ground. The widow screamed, and blood poured out of his mouth.
Just as Ma Jingbo withdrew his spear, a piercing pain came from his thigh.
