Since he decided to act separately, he didn't eat the meal, Qi Jiguang ordered people to reward the soldiers with dishes that had barely moved, and an hour later, he took the lead in setting out of the camp.

Looking at the endless team at a glance, Shen Mo was inevitably excited in his heart...... Along the way, this was the first time he had seen a large army of the Ming army take the initiative to attack...... I am a little sorry for the Ding family father and son and the red-headed army in this way, but that kind of small-scale commando team really can't represent the status of the world's largest country.

"There must be five thousand of them, right?" Riding side by side with Qi Jiguang, he asked silently and softly.

"Five thousand three hundred and seventeen." Qi Jiguang accurately reported the number and said: "It is all the troops that can be drawn in the jurisdiction of the last general." ”

Shen Mo rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I've never seen us fight against the Japanese in the field." ”

Qi Jiguang was silent for a moment, and finally said softly: "There is no last general." ”

Shen Mo felt this sweat in his heart, so he had to smile and say: "There is a way that is all about everything, the general has experienced a hundred battles, and it is definitely not a problem to fight in the field." ”

Who knew that Qi Jiguang continued in a muffled voice: "This is the first time that the last general has commanded a battle. ”

Shen Mo had to hold on to the horse's reins tightly in order to keep himself seated, and he swallowed hard and spitted: "The general seems to be already a third-rank general." "In other words, how did your old man rise up?

Qi Jiguang said shamefully: "The last general is the hereditary commander of Dengzhou Wei, and when my father died at the age of eleven, I became a fourth-rank official." ”

Shen Mo stared at him with wide eyes, and said in his heart, obediently, a natural high-spirited ...... I heard Qi Jiguang continue: "Later, the last general officially took over at the age of eighteen, and served as the commander of Dengzhou Wei for three years; After three years in Jizhen garrison, he returned to Shandong and was promoted to the command of the department, responsible for the three coastal battalions and 24 guards, until he was transferred to Zhejiang at the beginning of this year, and served as the secretary of the capital. He spread his hands and said, "I don't know what's going on, it's been ten years, and I haven't fought a single battle." ”

Shen Mo secretly wiped his sweat and comforted with a smile: "That...... Some geniuses are self-taught, I think General Qi is like you. ”

Who knew that Qi Jiguang nodded seriously and said, "The last general also feels like this." ”

Facts have proved that General Qi did not brag, although it was the first time to command the battle, but his arrangement of scouts and the grasp of the rhythm of the march were just right, so that the troops advanced in a state of tightness and moderation, and at the same time knew the situation within twenty miles of the surrounding area well.

Shen Mo asked him how he did it? Qi Jiguang smiled and said, "A day ago, the last general had already repeatedly considered all kinds of conditions and possible situations. Seeing that he was very interested, Qi Jiguang did not hide it, so he told Shen Mo about it.

In addition to the terrain, weather, and morale, which are factors that must be considered by generals, those seemingly subtle things are also within the scope of his thinking, such as the soldiers' diet, the condition of weapons and equipment, etc., which in Qi Jiguang's view, are all factors that can affect the outcome of the victory...... He even set a safety factor for firearms, which could not catch fire, and how many could catch fire without damaging the enemy. Before the battle, he had racked his brains in order to accurately judge the situation.

Shen Mo couldn't help but be convinced: "So this battle is already in the hands of the general?" ”

"Quite the opposite." Qi Jiguang shook his head and said, "Don't tell the adult, the last general has no bottom in his heart." ”

"Why is that?"

"It has been less than a month since the last general took office, and he is really not familiar with the officers and men under his command." Qi Jiguang sighed and said: "Actually, they are all veterans who have defended Ningbo and Taizhou, and it is no problem for them to defend the city, but what kind of field battle can be made, the end will be bottomless at all." As he spoke, he curled up his fingers and said, "If they can show three percent of the training, they will be invincible, and if they can play half of it, they will be able to sweep the Japanese Kou." ”

As they spoke, the two talked about the current situation from the current battlefield -- the current situation in the southeast is that after the initial surprise, the Ming army and people have gradually adapted to the cruel situation, the coastal cities are all soldiers, and the inland cities are also full of vigilance.

But this is not worth boasting about, because the official army's shrinking defense did not reduce the enemy's arrogance, but made the Japanese Kou not take the Ming army in their eyes at all, since they could not take the city, they vented Yinwei on the countryside outside the city, you don't see the picturesque water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and now it has become a ruined wall, a depression.

As a matter of fact, the number of Japanese pirates has increased rather than decreased, and there are as many as 20,000 or 30,000 people entrenched in the coastal areas of Zhejiang alone, and because officers and men do not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle, the scope of the Japanese pirates penetrating deeper and deeper into the interior is also increasing, and the harm is becoming greater and greater.

When meeting Zhang Butang, Shen Mo bluntly asked this question, but Zhang Jing just smiled and said to him: "Put up with it for a while, and then you can see if it can be arrogant." ”

Although Qi Jiguang was also deeply worried, with his careful observation, he still had confidence in Zhang Jing, and he said to Shen Mo: "Zhang Butang has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is old, and he will definitely have a more far-reaching deployment for the battle situation, so let's wait patiently." ”

At this time, when it came to the ambushed Gao Jialou generation, Shen Mo stopped talking and let Qi Jiguang concentrate on commanding.

Before that time, the scout came to report at a gallop, and the Japanese corate appeared!

'My judgment will not be wrong...... Qi Jiguang clenched his fists tightly and said to himself silently. Now that the enemy appeared as expected, in General Qi's view, victory was within reach—because he had already observed the terrain in advance, made arrangements, and even arranged the attack formation for his subordinates, all that remained was to rush down, take the enemy by surprise, and hold the victory in his hands.

Of course, this last step, General Qi can't help it, he is also a third-grade high-ranking official, it is impossible to personally go down to fight with a knife, so he can only pin his hopes on the group of officers and soldiers under him.

'I hope you won't make a fool of me...... Qi Jiguang prayed secretly.

Half an hour later, the Japanese really appeared on the mountain road in front of him, Qi Jiguang waved the command flag in his hand fiercely, and the boulder rumbled down, cutting the team of the Japanese into two sections in an instant.

"Kill!" He drew his sword and pointed forward. When he arrived, there were ambushes in all directions, and the officers and soldiers shouted and killed the Japanese invaders.

Just when General Qi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, among the panicked enemy groups, a few Japanese robes in red clothes and yellow covers, carrying swords, suddenly killed a few Japanese robbers, like mad tigers, and swooped towards the Ming army, killing several people in a blink of an eye, and the surrounding Ming troops did not dare to parry at all, so they turned around and ran...... The Ming army was really extraordinary, one person was defeated, and ten thousand people were defeated. Not to mention attacking, I can't even care about running for my life.

The front army was defeated, and the Chinese army immediately wavered, and even the iron pillar pulled his silent sleeves and whispered: "Adults, go quickly, it's too late if you don't run." ”

Shen Mo glared at him in annoyance, pointed to Qi Jiguang not far away, and said, "The main general has not retreated, what are you panicking about!" He stood on the hillside, overlooking the comical scene in front of him, the Ming army with the advantage of numbers was running around, and the inferior Japanese were chasing after him, unscrupulous, it seemed that the defeat was decided, and the gods were difficult to save.

But he clearly remembers that later generations had an evaluation of Qi Jiguang, saying, 'I have not tasted defeat in my life', since I said so, let me polish my eyes and see how you can turn the tide!

In fact, Qi Jiguang was already mad, he almost wanted to kill these useless subordinates, the time and place were favorable, and they all occupied, and they could even collapse at the touch of a button!

But this was not the time to vent, he forced himself to calm down quickly, and ordered his own soldiers to fetch his iron-tired strong bow - I saw that he gathered the strength of his whole body, pulled a hard bow like a full moon, and his angry eyes were fixed on the first one in red and yellow cover...... I, Qi Jiguang, have been sharpening a sword for ten years, and the frost blade has never been tried! Now that I am out of the sheath for the first time, I must not accept defeat! Never!

I heard a 'buzz', and at the sound of the bowstring, a black meteor shot straight into the head of the wolf, and the wolf didn't even react, and was shot straight to the ground.

Qi Jiguang stretched out his hand and pulled out the second arrow, and shot it out without hesitation, and another red-clothed and yellow-covered widow fell to the ground.

The guys in red clothes and yellow covers were frightened, and they didn't expect that they thought they were very stylish, but they became good helpers for the other party's aim, and just as they were looking around, another sharp arrow came, and a guy in red clothes and yellow covers was shot to the ground, and the sharp knife also scratched his companions.

This completely frightened the courage of the ronins, and they took off their yellow hats, took off their red robes, and wore only white 'thong' pants, and ran back.

As soon as they saw that the most powerful people had run away, the would-be robbers looked at each other and froze.

Under Qi Jiguang's sky-shattering three arrows, a miracle finally happened, only to see those officials and soldiers who were originally scattered with birds and beasts turned around and rushed towards the Japanese invaders again.

When the widows saw it, they said, "Come on, let's run too."

In an instant, the two sides shifted their positions in attack and defense, and the officers and soldiers began to chase after the Japanese robbers' buttocks.

Qi Jiguang didn't dare to hold it up anymore, and Tie Qing personally led the army to pursue with a blushing face.

After chasing them out of Erlidi, Lu Bo's army also arrived, and the two gangs joined together and launched a pursuit of the Japanese Kou.

Although Shen Mo also chased him out, he had lost his initial excitement, and he came to a conclusion that it was impossible to eliminate the Japanese with this gang of soldiers.
