Fifty-Seven Scholars and Heroes, Called Writers (I)
Wang Wei looked at the figure of the man standing at the city gate against an unknown number of widows, and the knife in his hand was held tighter, and he couldn't believe that the strategy from the Zheng family Xiucai, that strategy was simply a strategy to put himself and the mansion Fan Qing to death, not only to block their strategy, but also to block their reputation, because Wang Wei didn't dare to believe that Zheng Xiucai, who was famous in the city, Zheng Guang, really dared to implement this strategy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He had heard Zheng Guang's name and heard of Zheng Guang's deeds, but these were not enough to make him believe that this Xiucai, who appeared on the city wall on the first day and participated in the war, compared to them, Xiucai seemed to be away from the battlefield, they were soldiers, and Xiucai was a scholar, and the scholar was never the target of the imperial court's recruitment, and even became a scholar, he could look down on the soldier in the open.
There have always been only scholars in charge of soldiers, and no scholars have participated in the war, personally taking risks, gambling with their lives, and even gambling with their own lives to save a city, this courage should be no less than the courage to live and die with a city, for them, these two scholars who should have never seen such a situation, what is the force that prompted that Xiaoxiu to use such a strategy, and let Fuzun agree?
As for that Xiao Xiucai, he arranged for himself to line up the three swarms of bees, facing the city gate, slightly higher, and he himself would take the Fuzun to stand in front of them together, face the Japanese Kou, block and attract the sight of the Japanese Kou, and when the city gate is opened, they will quickly ignite the fire, and when the lead is about to burn and is about to be launched, they will roar and let him and Fuzun lie down on the ground, so as to kill the leader and important commander of the Japanese Kou, knock out the command system of the Japanese Kou, and make the group of dragons leaderless.
Light the fuse, wait for the fuse to burn out, and then notify yourself, and then they lie on the ground, dodging the rocket, Wang Wei doesn't know if they have time to react if they do this, whether these two brave soldiers will die, but the moment they lie down, the moment the Japanese robbers are hit by arrows and fall to the ground, the moment the cannon at the head of the city sounds, he knows that these two brave soldiers have made the right bet.
As excellent scholars, and even as the honorable people of Yifu, they could have stayed away from this war, the first to escape, the first to leave the battlefield, but now they are closer to death and the battlefield than any soldier, compared to these two scholars, are these soldiers really too derelict in their duties, and deserve to be dominated by these two scholars, and look down upon?
Next, the brave little Xiucai even brandished a big gun and killed three Japanese robbers in a row to protect the city gate and corridor from being flooded by the Japanese invaders, because more and more Japanese robbers reacted that the city gate and the corridor were safe, and it was a place where artillery could not attack, and outside, it could be killed by artillery fire or rockets falling from the sky at any time, and even dead without a corpse.
One after another rushed to the city gate, or was killed by artillery fire on the road and was killed by rockets, but some still rushed through the blockade of artillery fire and charged towards the city gate, at this time it was too late to replace the rockets, and Zheng Guang did not seem to plan to rely on those swarms, but planned to guard the entire city gate with one person and one gun.
Prior to this, Wang Wei had never imagined that an elegant scholar who would ascend to the court of the Son of Heaven as a herdsman of the Son of Heaven in the future would also be able to perform martial arts, kill people, and kill without stopping.
Zheng Guang's big gun flashed with a deadly cold light, any widow who tried to get close was killed by this cold light, the big gun danced like a pear blossom fluttering, extremely smart, and in the agility, but also with a strong murderous aura, any approaching widow was killed mercilessly, or died through the chest, or was stabbed in the throat and died, or was thrown in the chest by the big gun, broke the ribs and died, in a short period of time, Zheng Guang's side, there were more than a dozen crooked corpses......
I don't know when it started, the sound of artillery fire gradually weakened, the rockets gradually thinned out, and it was gradually unable to maintain the complete suppression of the Japanese invaders, but the effect of this round of firearms attacks was very obvious, the Japanese were extremely heavy casualties, the entire land of the West City Gate was dyed red, and the stumps and broken arms were piled up, like a hell on earth, the Japanese camp had collapsed, ignoring the open city gate, scattering and fleeing, Zheng Guang saw the fleeing Japanese and the defenders who did not move, and couldn't help but be very angry and anxious.
"Break the enemy to serve the country, behead and capture the flag, just today! Ladies and gentlemen! The man's fame will be taken immediately! Destroy the enemy with me!! Zheng Guang just yelled, and chased out, not caring at all that he was just one person, and there were still hundreds of Japanese invaders, if in peacetime, Zheng Guang had already been killed in battle, but now, it was extremely shocking that one person chased, and hundreds of people fled, and it would never only appear on the battlefield of the Japanese against the Ming army, but now it is actually reversed, in Suzhou City! It's the other way around!
"Wolver! I'm **** grandma! Wang Wei didn't know where the courage and anger came from, the scene of his younger brother's tragic death under the sword of the Japanese resurfaced in front of him, his eyes slowly became red, his breathing became short, and when Zheng Guang's roar reached his ears, the outbreak that was seven years late seemed to have just arrived, without thinking, he angrily burst out of a foul mouth, and rushed out of the city gate with the war knife in his hand, becoming the second Ming soldier to rush out of the city gate to pursue the Japanese invaders.
When the sound of shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth, and I don't know how many Ming soldiers poured out of the city gate to chase and kill the Japanese invaders, Zheng Guang was already at the end of the crossbow, and the fierce fighting for half an hour made Zheng Guang completely out of strength, especially a group of about 20 or so squads armed with Japanese samurai swords, extremely elite and good at fighting, under the premise of hundreds of Ming troops surrounding, still fighting non-stop, the Japanese sword was sharp, and the tip of the spear was broken when a slash was cut, so as to kill dozens of Ming troops, and the Ming army that was almost killed collapsed and was able to break out of the encirclement.
Zheng Guang was the first soldier to fight more than once, trying to turn the tide, but this group of Japanese soldiers is extremely good at fighting, the first one is even more powerful, obviously the real Japanese, Zheng Guang is alone, killed five people, but he was dressed in three wounds, almost killed, and then I don't know who used the trick, suddenly threw lime at the location of this group of real Japanese in all directions, eroding their eyes, this group of real Japanese people howled in pain, dropped the Japanese knife and rolled to the ground, and was surrounded by the angry Ming army who lost their minds, and then cut their bodies into minced meat.
After the war, in the face of the hellish scene of dead corpses everywhere, the more than 1,000 surviving Ming soldiers collectively wept and vomited, and even cried so much that it was difficult to get up when they fell to the ground......
On August 24, the 25th year of Jiajing, the battle of Suzhou was won, and most of these invading Japanese invaders were left under the west gate of Suzhou by the Ming army, and died under the artillery fire and rockets, as well as the swords and guns of the Ming army, except for a few who successfully escaped and disappeared......
After the war, the Ming army cut off a total of 1,238 heads of the Japanese invaders, and there were many broken heads, apparently caused by artillery bombardment, this kind of head can not be counted, it is estimated that there are about two or three hundred people, mainly during the first round of bombardment, the Japanese are too concentrated, artillery and rockets directly bombarded the crowd, causing huge casualties, and at the same time countless corpses, so that these heads can not be credited.
The military merits of the Ming Dynasty are calculated by the head, and even some fierce people are by cutting off their heads in exchange for reward silver to buy wine and drink, from this point of view, the reward system is reasonable, because of the years of wreaking havoc, the imperial court even stipulated the number of rewards for silver by the head, the Suzhou army cut off this 1,283 heads, about to let the surviving 1,473 Suzhou soldiers each get a large amount of reward of twenty or thirty taels of silver.
But no one was too excited about it, and after the war, they generally felt afraid, rejoicing, feeling God's blessing, feeling pain, and excited, and they didn't seem to be very excited.
"Pingzhi, we won this battle." Fan Qing sat down next to Zheng Guang, who was sitting on the steps of the government in a daze, ignoring the officials who came and went around him with happy faces, and ignored the envious and adoring glances that the officials threw at the two of them.
"yes, we won." Zheng Guang echoed.
"Then why don't you go home to celebrate, the people who have been there to tell the good news have been there, saying that your house is full of joy and lanterns! The whole of Suzhou is decorating with lanterns to celebrate the victory, and people are vying to praise the names of Fan Qing and Zheng Guang. Fan Qing's tone was very calm, as if he was saying something very ordinary, and he tried his best to show a happy expression on his face, but for some reason, he always had a feeling of smiling and not smiling.
Zheng Guang looked at his face, pursed his lips, and said slowly, "But I'm not happy." ”
Fan Qing no longer tried to laugh, but said in a deep voice: "Beheading 1,283 is the first major achievement in the southeast anti-Japanese war since he ascended the throne today, this news has been verified, the first level of points is completed, because of its particularity, it will be directly reported to the Ministry of War, and it will not go through the General Administration Department, directly to the heavens, and directly inform Your Majesty, Your Majesty will decide the rewards and punishments for this merit and demerits, and officials of all sizes in the southeast shall not interfere." ”
Zheng Guang smiled slightly: "Probably Fuzun can change into a scarlet robe this time, after all, he is personally in danger, using the prefect's body as a bait to lure the Japanese to be fooled, if it is not for the prefect himself as the bait, how can the Japanese be fooled so easily?" This kind of literati courage is rare since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Fan Qing also smiled slightly: "You are the same as Xiucai, Xiucai is famous, but he took the initiative to ask for war, shared worries for the country, taught soldiers to kill the Japanese with firearms, and designed to trap the head of the Japanese Bandits. Not to mention that he took the lead as a soldier, led the army to kill the enemy, beheaded thirteen, wore three wounds, and stained his Confucian robes with blood. ”
Zheng Guang listened, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and Fan Qing's face gradually became frosty: "The results are out, the Suzhou soldiers had a total of 1,986 before the war, 1,473 survived, 513 people were killed in the battle, and the number of Japanese casualties was about 1,800. Even the southeast warriors Tang Kekuan, Lu Bo and others are far behind......"
In the end, Fan Qing had already clenched his teeth and couldn't say a word anymore......
