After the generals received their orders, Zhao Wenhua asked the most high-level question today: "What if the Japanese invaders fled all the way north and left all the armies behind?" ”

"Ben will have his own arrangements." Zhang Jing also gave the most irresponsible answer, and after speaking, he waved his hand at the full hall of civil and military and said: "Let's all go back and do their own work, this official only has a celebration banquet, no candied wine." ”

A group of officials laughed and said: "Come and drink the celebration wine!" Then they saluted Zhang Butang together and went straight back to the camp to prepare.

But there were also a few who didn't leave, such as Hu Zongxian, the inspector of the imperial history, he came to Zhang Butang's case, and arched his hand: "May I ask the lord of the ministry, can you follow the army to set off?" ”

Zhang Jing looked at him for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "You and Lu Bo all the way, his side is more difficult, you have to help him come up with more ideas!" ”

Although Hu Zongxian knew that he was repaying the favor, he was also very excited, and couldn't help but stand up straight and said loudly: "The lower officials will definitely live up to the trust of adults!" ”

Zhang Jing smiled and bowed his head, and Hu Zongxian turned around and went out with his head held high.

At this time, only silence was left in the hall, and Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Humble words, how about the journey with the old man?" ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "The arrangement of the ministry couldn't be better!" ”

Two days later, Zhang Jing led 5,000 soldiers from Guangxi and 5,000 soldiers and horses from Jiahang, a total of 15,000 people, and marched to Songjiang. In the later stage, he will participate in the encirclement of Xu Hai and block Wang Zhi's possible rescue of Xu Hai.

Shen Mo went out with the army as a patrol envoy.

The army marched all the way north, and finally arrived at Songjiang Mansion three days later, and after a short rest, they confronted Wang Zhi's army, which rushed to hear the news. The Japanese were indeed fattened by the officials and soldiers, and they actually came out of the lair with a loud roar.

It wasn't the first time Shen Mo had faced a large army of pirates, so he wasn't surprised at all. The only thing that interested him was that some of the leaders of these Japanese robes wore pan-collared robes and Song Dynasty official uniforms; Some wore round-necked robes and were dressed in Tang costumes; There are also black gauze hats and regimental collar supplements, which are completely in the style of Daming official uniforms, and when you go to that station, it seems to be a stage.

He asked Qi Jiguang on the side softly: "Which one is Wang Zhi?" "General Qi's troops were too thin in the Battle of Longshanwei, so they were not lined up in the battle sequence by Governor Zhang. Fortunately, his bravery also spread after that station, which made Zhang Jing not give up with him, and made him follow and observe...... At the same time, he is responsible for explaining the battle situation to the patrol envoys.

Fortunately, he already had a plan for training troops in his heart, Qi Jiguang was not so depressed, he shook his head as usual, and said softly: "Wang Zhi has always been cowering in his lair, and now it is his subordinates Ye Bichuan and Wang Qingxi who are leading the troops ashore. ”

Although these pirates are dressed strangely, they are not ambiguous in fighting. In this era, there is no longer a roar, and as soon as the creepy conch blows, it rushes over the mountains and fields, and there are as many as seven or eight thousand people. It seems that the Japanese are ready to beat the Ming army to death as soon as they come up...... Although half of these 8,000 people were second-rate people who followed behind, judging from past experience, the Ming army could not withstand the charge of so many people no matter what.

But no matter how brilliant the record, it can only represent the past, and no one can predict what will happen next. Listening to the whining horn sounding without showing weakness, a group of soldiers dressed in blue cloth robes, holding long and short blades, and wrapped in black cloth appeared on the battlefield.

A general wearing bright silver armor, wearing a red cloak on his back, holding a pair of long knives, and a hideous ghost face came out of the crowd. A sharp whistling sound came out of his mouth, which immediately caused the soldiers to shout in response to the tsunami. At the height of the voice, the general rushed out first, and her long knife was directed by countless soldiers, like an angry wave, fiercely counterattacking the Japanese robbers.

After the soldiers rushed up some distance, Zhang Jing ordered 5,000 Jiaxing soldiers to move to the two wings, preparing to outflank the Japanese invaders.

The order has just been given here, and the soldiers and the Japanese are already fighting together. As soon as they fought, the Japanese felt the difference between their opponents, and these blue-clad soldiers were all brave, and they fought without regard for their own safety, only seeking to kill the enemy and behead them. But this does not mean that they killed 1,000 enemies and inflicted 800 of their own losses, because the soldiers were 'in the company of seven people, and each team was coordinated in length and in an orderly manner', like hedgehogs, so that the Japanese had no way to start.

As soon as the sharp spirit of the Japanese invaders came up, they were suppressed, and before the hundreds of people who rushed in front could react, they were crushed to the ground with machetes and trampled into mud. If it weren't for the red-clothed and yellow-covered ronin in the back, who came up in time, he would have been defeated by a single blow from the soldiers.

Shen Mo already knew that not every real man had a katana, and not every one of them was so powerful. Only these red-clad and yellow-covered ones are armed with katanas, they have been trained in combat since childhood, and they have spent the rest of their lives on the battlefield, and they enjoy a high reputation among the Japanese bandits, and they can be called special forces among the Japanese bandits.

Sure enough, as soon as these ronins joined, the morale of the Japanese was boosted, and they quickly used them as arrows to form battle groups one after another, and launched a fierce fight with the soldiers who also took the group as a unit.

The soldiers did not show weakness here, the general wore his hair loose, brandished his double sword, and took the lead in the battle array, and the soldiers saw that the commander was setting an example, and they all admired his entourage, and fought hard to kill, but they did not let it go at all.

At this time, the official army came out from both wings, seriously disrupting the position of the Japanese invaders, and the bandit leaders Ye Bichuan and Wang Qingxi, who were watching the battle from a distance, were shocked, and they all said: "The Ming army has poured its main force, and we can resist it." "That's right, even if you fight hard, it's just cheaper than others, so let's talk nonsense." In fact, the victory and defeat have not yet been decided, but these subordinates are the capital of their fortune, and neither of them wants to lose too much, so they blow the conch of the army.

According to their experience, as long as they take the initiative to retreat, the Ming army will not pursue. But the two forgot that the enemy they faced this time came from Guangxi with dry rations on their backs, and there was no military pay, and the only source of income was their heads...... Governor Zhang opened a hanging red, and a Japanese head could be exchanged for ten taels of silver...... So in the eyes of the soldiers, the head of the wolf is not a head, but a big ingot!

Now that the ingots turn around and run, is there any reason not to chase? Without the leader's order, the soldiers spread their feet, chased after their buttocks, slashed and beheaded from behind, and pinned them to their waists; Chase with your ass again, slash and kill, slash your head, pin it to your waist, and enjoy it while chasing and killing.

Shen Mo looked at this scene and said to Qi Jiguang: "Brother Yuan Jing, don't use this method in the future." ”

Qi Jiguang was excited, and said strangely when he heard it: "Why do you say this? ”

"A head of ten pounds, no more, don't have three or five on your waist, don't want to catch up with the Japanese again." Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "I don't believe you. Following what he pointed out, Qi Jiguang really saw that some soldiers had fallen behind, obviously dragged down by the head of his waist.

Although the final pursuit was not perfect, it did not affect the great victory of this battle, the Ming army beheaded more than 1,000 levels, and achieved the first big victory since the anti-Japanese resistance, known as the 'Shachuanwa Victory' in history.

The joy of the victory in the first battle has not subsided, and the scouts have come with the exact news, a total of 8,000 people from the Xu Haibu of the Japanese Kou entrenched in Tuolin, divided into four teams, and rushed to Jiashan, as Zhang Butang expected, there was no intention of rescuing Sha Chuanwa at all.

Seeing Xu Haizhong's plan, Zhang Jing did not dare to act rashly, he closely monitored Wang Zhi's Japanese Kou on the one hand, and ordered the scout Pegasus to pass on the report, paying close attention to the latest military situation in the direction of Jiashan.

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Xu Haibu arrived in Jiashan, and without even trying to attack the city, he rushed straight to Jiaxing. In the early morning of the 17th, we arrived near the Shuangxi Bridge in the east of Jiaxing City. The speed of the Japanese invaders was too fast, far beyond Lu Bo's expectations, and his Baojing soldiers woke up from their sleep and rushed to the battle, but were led by the Japanese to the area of Shitang Bay, and were defeated in an ambush.

He said to Lu Bo, who was about to commit suicide in frustration: "Don't worry, as long as you do what I tell you, you will live up to the trust of the minister." At this time, Lu Bo also lost his view of the door, so he handed over the command to him. Hu Zongxian calmly assigned the task, he selected 100 brave soldiers to form a death squad, and on the other hand, he ordered his subordinates to take more than 100 urns of wine and 50 bags of rice, open the lid of the wine urn, tear the rice bags open, poison them, and then sealed them as they were, divided the two boats, and let the death squad wear the clothes of the common people, play red cards, and pretend to beat and beat to reward the army.

When the boat arrived at Shitang Bay, it was discovered by the Japanese and sent troops to rob it, and the death squad pretended to be terrified, dropped their things and fled in all directions. The Japanese saw that they had gained a lot, and immediately reported to the leader of the Japanese Bandits, who was led by the bandit leader Chen Dong, who was a heavy drinker, and when he saw that there was good wine, he did not doubt that there was it, so he wanted to divide it and drink it.

was stopped by his subordinates, and first took a dog for an experiment, but the dog drank and was fine...... Chen Dong was full of joy, and everyone was also very happy, so he hugged the wine jar and drank freely. The rice was also boiled and eaten by the Japanese invaders, and everyone unanimously reported that it was very fragrant.

But in the middle of the night, the whole camp was full of stench, and all those who had eaten rice and drunk alcohol were weak in their hands and feet, had diarrhea, and completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Hu Zongxian, who had been in ambush for a long time downwind, finally smelled the foul smell, so he ordered the native soldiers and the official army to attack the camp, there were more than 2,000 Japanese in this camp, nearly half of them were poisoned, and the rest were also panicked and had no intention of fighting, and as a result, more than 700 people were beheaded by the Ming army in a battle, and the rest of the people fled east with Chen Dong and joined Xu Hai.

In this battle, everyone pushed Hu Xun for the first credit, but Hu Zongxian said to a middle-aged doctor: "Thanks to Mr. Li's medicine." ”

That Mr. Li said with a serious face: "I, Li Shizhen, have been practicing medicine for 20 years, and I have never harmed anyone. ”

Hu Zongxian and the others were full of embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Let Mr. make an exception......

Who knew that Li Shizhen laughed and said: "But this time it's really happy!" ”
