Chapter 438: Completely Break the Backbone of the Wako!

Chapter 438: Completely Break the Backbone of the Wako!

"Wolver!"

"What? Woko? ”

"Did I hear me right? Woko? ”

The soldiers heard that it was the Japanese who landed.

From their grandparents, they had heard more or less about the crimes of the Japanese invaders, and some of them were even killed by them. In many places in Shandong, there are statues of Qi Jiguang. As long as you see the statue of Qi Jiguang, it is impossible not to think of the Japanese Kou. In their minds, the Japanese and the Tartars are the most evil beings in the world. Even, the Japanese are even more hateful. Now, the Japanese have actually occupied Da Songwei, how did this happen?

"Speed!"

"Hurry up!"

"Brothers who can run, run!"

Zhang Youcai fell off his horse and followed the middle and back of the group, running with the fighters while shouting encouragement. He is now Yang Zhiyuan's deputy, and he attaches great importance to the honor of the Soaring Battalion. This was the first battle in which Brigadier General Zhang's troops were renamed the Biaozi Battalion, and of course they had to take the lead. Besides, what the Biaozi Battalion has to deal with is the Japanese Bandits, so naturally it cannot be backward in the slightest.

"Whoever is the first to rush to Da Songwei will be a hero!"

"Whoever is the hero and who is the bear is on everyone's two legs!"

"Let go of the Woko, we're all bears!"

Encouraged by Zhang Youcai and other officers, the soldiers quickened their pace and trotted all the way. Later, Zhang Zhun ordered all unnecessary equipment, including all kinds of utensils used for camping, to reduce the burden on his body. So, the fighters ran faster. The team of six hundred people seemed to be rolling torrents, killing Da Songwei.

"Yang Zhiyuan, you come with me to the front to understand the situation!"

"Zhang Youcai, you came with the troops later!"

Zhang Zhun looked at the sky and said decisively.

By this time it was already dark, and night was about to fall. Judging from the marching speed of the Soaring Word Battalion, it would take a whole night to reach the vicinity of Dasong City. After all, there is a long way to go from Xiongya to Dasong City.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Youcai, Zhang Zhun and Yang Zhiyuan rode their horses and galloped all the way, and quickly entered the land of Da Songwei. Dugu Hunt and the others followed closely behind Zhang Zhun. As soon as the group arrived at the location of the village, they saw Ma Yi. By this time, it was completely dark.

Xingcun Village is actually a small town with a population of three or four thousand, located in the westernmost part of Dasongwei, near the Wulong River. In normal times, after nightfall, the survivors should be more lively, and all kinds of lights should be lit. In the past few months, because there are more timber merchants gathered here to sell timber, the survivors' green buildings and inns are full every night. But Zhang Zhun looked at it and could barely see the lights.

Ma Yi hurriedly rode to Zhang Zhun and said breathlessly: "My lord, Da Songwei's side, that ...... over there"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." ”

After that, he took off his gourd and handed it to Ma Yi.

Ma Yi also unceremoniously unplugged, took a big sip of water, moistened his dry throat, and then said obscurely: "The Japanese came too suddenly, the whole city was plunged into a sea of fire, most of the houses were burned down, at least hundreds of people were killed, and the Japanese took hundreds of hostages!" The news of the landing of the Japanese invaders spread very quickly, causing great panic around Da Songwei. You see, the people in this village were so frightened that they closed their doors one after another and ran towards Laiyang's escape. ”

Zhang Zhun immediately came up with a familiar scene in the TV and movies of later generations, the devil entered the village, and the people fled one after another. In order to track down the whereabouts of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, the devils concentrated the people in the barn and other places, and asked them to explain the whereabouts of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. If you don't pay it, the devil will keep killing people, and eventually even the whole village will be killed.

"Devil!"

Zhang Zhun's blood all over his body felt like it was boiling.

"Calm down!"

"Calm down!

"Calm down!"

After the blood boiled all over his body, Zhang Zhun took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, and let himself slowly calm down. As a commander, what he needs is not hot-blooded impulsiveness, not single-handedly reckless behavior, not a character like Shunyo, but a calm calculation, with the simplest and quickest way, with the least cost, to eliminate these widows.

Zhang Zhun signaled Ma Yi not to get excited, and asked slowly, "How many are the number of pirates?" ”

Ma Yi said obscurely: "The Japanese invaders have occupied Dasong City, closed all the city gates, and the information cannot be sent. When the people in the city heard that the Japanese were coming, they all fled one after another, and no one cared about the number of them. The official is the fastest runner, and it is the official who takes the lead in running that will cause everyone's panic. According to what I have learned, there will be no less than 500 Japanese robbers entering Dasong City. In addition, the Japanese came in three large ships, and there may be some on board. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded slowly and asked in a deep voice, "How big is the ship?" Can you see it? ”

Ma Yi weighed it and said cautiously: "It's about the size of the No. 2 Fu ship." ”

Zhang Zhun pondered and pondered. The three No. 2 ships could carry about 1,000 people, and with the sailors of their own ships, there should be about 1,500 people. If the Japanese are fully loaded, it will be about this number. It seems that the number of people who have arrived this time is really quite a lot! Such a large number of Japanese robbers are obviously not sporadic ronins, but directly from the Japanese mainland, and there may even be the support of the daimyo behind them.

Damn, these Japanese devils really never let people live in peace!

I have to break their backbones completely in the future!

Ma Yi continued: "Judging from the information that our Maoyan Division has captured so far, the equipment of the Japanese is mainly all kinds of firecrackers, with a lot of iron cannons, and some big guns. There were also some people who saw many Japanese warriors wielding long knives and killing people indiscriminately in the city. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

The so-called iron cannon is actually the general name of all the firearms by the Japanese Kou. The so-called big gun is the real cannon. During the Warring States period in Japan, various daimyo fought with each other, such as the former three heroes Imagawa Yoshimoto, Hojo Shiyasu, and Takeda Shingen; Later Miyo Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu are representatives of these daimyos.

In order to defeat their opponents on the battlefield, they bought a large number of various firearms from the Portuguese. Judging from the situation at that time, the firearms of the Japanese were still relatively advanced. As for the so-called long knives, they should be those wandering Japanese samurai. These Japanese samurai, no matter what the occasion, can see their criminal figures, it is really a thousand knives.

Of course, Zhang Zhun didn't pay much attention to these so-called iron cannons and big guns at all. Compared with the Tiger Cannon and the Flying Dragon Cannon, these iron cannons and big guns all have to stand aside. The so-called Japanese ronin samurai, Zhang Zhun didn't pay attention to it. Qi Jiguang didn't even need firearms, just relying on cold weapons, he could clean up the widows. Now that he is strong, what are he worried about?

Ma Yi continued: "The leader of the Japanese Kou is called Wise Yishou, and other information is unknown for the time being. ”

Zhang Zhun said to himself: "Wise Yishou? ”

Ma Yi said a little helplessly: "Maybe there is a mistake in our translation, there are not many people here who understand the Japanese language, and there is no way to correct it." My lord, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Taka-sama for help, so that we will have someone who is proficient in Japanese. ”

Zhang Zhun frowned.

Akechi Mitsuhide knew that the changes in Honnoji Temple, which were contemporaries of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, had something to do with him. As for which one is Akechi Otoju, there is no impression. It may be a certain daimyo in Japan, I don't know what crazy he had, and he actually wanted to loot on the land of the Ming Dynasty. Little Japanese devils do things, sometimes they can't be described by common sense.

The current Japanese shogun should be Tokugawa Iemitsu, and he doesn't know how he manages Japan, and if he makes such a big incident, he, the shogun, is also derelict in his duties. After these Japanese robbers are caught, they must send an envoy to Tokugawa Ieyasu in the name of the Ming Kingdom to ask what is going on, and then ask for compensation. If you don't pay compensation, I'm sorry, you have to go to war. It's not negotiable.

Zhang Zhun motioned for Ma Yi to turn his horse's head and continue to march towards Da Song City, and then asked, "How is the local resistance of Da Song Wei?" How many people can be organized? How many original officers still existed? ”

Ma Yi said a little indignantly: "Da Songwei's officials are all gone!" There was only one young deputy Qianhu, named Li Yi, who happened to come back from outside the city and found that something was wrong, so he took several of his family members to intercept the fleeing military households, and organized two or three hundred people to observe the movements in the city outside the city. Later, from the nearby Haiyang Office, a hundred households came called Yan Guizang, and brought dozens of good military households to Dasong City to help fight. But their numbers are too small, so they can only arrange sentry monitoring and the like in the city, let alone counterattack at all. ”

He introduced in detail that Da Songwei's deputy Qianhu, named Li Yi, is only 25 years old this year, and it has only been half a year since he succeeded his deceased father. The 100 households that came to support from the army led by Haiyang are called Yan Guizang, and they are also young people who have been hereditary for less than half a year. Because they are all young people who have just been hereditary, they have not been sharpened by the daily greeting and sending, so they still have a little courage. Although they did not have the strength to fight back against the pirates, they did not flee.

"Well, that's good!"

Zhang Zhun said to himself.

Among the chaotic, weak and crippled guards, there were actually two people who were not afraid of the murderous Japanese robbers, and had the courage to organize personnel to resist, and Zhang Zhun looked up to them. Well, Zhang Zhun's requirements now are indeed very low. In the decadent guards, no matter whether you have the ability or not, as long as you have this courage, you are worthy of praise.

While speaking, the group continued to gallop in the direction of Dasong City. It's getting darker and darker, and the road isn't easy to walk. The northwest part of Dasongwei is mainly hilly and mountainous, and the roads are seriously in disrepair. In some places, Zhang Zhun and they had to dismount to walk. It was almost when it was time for them to come to a place about ten miles away from Dasong City.

"Li Yi, Yan Guizang, our family is here!"

Ma Yi shouted from afar.

In the darkness, two torches were lit to illuminate the surroundings.

Zhang Zhun looked at the firelight and saw two young officers, presumably Li Yi and Yan Guizang. Beside them, there were two hundred soldiers, all armed with weapons of various colors. Seeing Zhang Zhun coming, those military households were obviously relieved. It seems that before Zhang Zhun arrived, they were indeed very nervous, so nervous that they didn't even dare to light the torch.

Li Yi is not tall, not like a hereditary deputy Qianhu, but like a well-mannered son. The order to ask Zhang Zhun for help was issued by Li Yi. Yan Guizang is even more sven, and it is hard to imagine that he will bring the temporarily organized military households to rush to reinforcements from Haiyang. However, both of them were wearing regular Ming army uniforms and thick waist-length armor.

Seeing Zhang Zhun coming, Li Yi and Yan Guizang were naturally very happy, and subconsciously came to Zhang Zhun's horse to express their welcome. Da Songwei is next door to Laizhou Mansion, and it is certainly impossible for them not to know about Zhang Zhun's matter. It was precisely because of their understanding of Zhang Zhun that they decided to ask Zhang Zhun for help. In their opinion, on the ground in Shandong, the only one who could defeat the Japanese was probably Zhang Zhun and his Tiger Army.

However, after seeing Zhang Zhun, the two of them looked a little embarrassed. They didn't know what to call Zhang Zhun. Before the edict came down, Zhang Zhun was the right governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, and of course they should pay the salute of their subordinates and call Zhang Zhun the governor. However, the edict also made it clear that Zhang Zhun was a thief. As for the thieves, they should face each other with swords, and they must not coexist peacefully.

Zhang Zhun naturally understood what the two of them were embarrassed about, and said disapprerovingly: "You can just call me Zhang Zhun." If you don't mind, you can call me Yulin. ”

Li Yi and Yan Guizang glanced at each other, and said embarrassedly: "Since this is the case, we will overstep, let's call you Brother Yulin." In terms of age, we are both older than you. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, didn't dwell on this issue, and said solemnly: "Li Yi, from now on, you are the commander of Da Songwei!" ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

Zhang Zhun continued: "Yan Guizang, from now on, you are the commander of the Great Songwei!" Assist Li Yi in handling affairs! ”

Yan Guizang was naturally stunned, and he also didn't react.

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "What? Frightened by the Woko? ”

Li Yi and Yan Guizang glanced at each other, and the former said a little unnaturally: "Brother Yulin, this is unruly...... Our Commander of the Guard is on his way to the Dengzhou Mansion to ask for help...... The other officers of the guard ......"

Zhang Zhun smiled coldly and sneered: "Bullshit! From the moment they fled from the Great Songwei, their status as officers was automatically lifted! What does the law say, if you lose your teacher and lose your land, you will be beheaded! I didn't cut off their heads, it's already a blessing! What is such a life-hungry and death-fearing officer going to do? ”
