CHAPTER XXXII

When the village looked at the situation, he knew that something was wrong, could it be that he had leaked the news, or that there was a spy? There was no time to dwell on it now, and he ran under the cover of the guards towards the nearest alley, which might be able to take refuge for the time being, under the fire of the guns on both sides of the street. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Running as hard as you can, just to stay alive. But he never thought that the city gate had not yet been opened, and that tonight was destined to be a cruel war, and the cruelty was that the village was passively beaten, and he had invaded the city with the ambition of victory, and now he was in a mess. But when danger comes, people may not think so much, and if they can live a little longer, they will have a little more hope. Just when he was about to get rid of the encirclement of the Ming army, misfortune befell him again. At the end of the alley there were a lot of sandbags that blocked the way, as if there were some iron shelves in front of the sandbags.

He couldn't see what was on the shelf, but he knew that he had made a mistake, and if he continued to rush forward under the fire of the firebolt just now, he might soon be able to break through the fire. But now, apparently, ran into another trap of the Ming army!

And his soldiers, in a panic, followed him and ran into the alley, and they all gathered in it. Look at the back, a large number of Ming troops are rushing over. The village looked left and right, and it turned out that this place was still just a wall except for the wall, and there was not a single door! And the wall is two feet high, so it's not too late.

No matter what, he can't die here, Murashita shouted angrily in his heart. He didn't want to die a worthless death like Zongshi, he was originally a giant thief entrenched in Chongming, but now he was reduced to the point of being crippled, he raised his sword, looked ahead, and ordered the soldiers to rush forward, no matter what, to run out of this trap.

When the Japanese soldiers approached the sandbag barrier little by little, suddenly the iron frame in front of the sandbag burst into flames, and the hot oil pot was erected on the iron frame, and the fire illuminated the narrow alley, and the Japanese soldiers no longer had anything to hide. Immediately afterward, firecrackers came up from behind the sandbags, "Bang bang bang!" "About twenty-one Ming soldiers hid behind sandbags and put their guns, and they were divided into three groups and took turns loading gunpowder and firing it. The soldiers fell in rows, and it was definitely a shocking scene, and the alley became a meat grinder. Let these robbers be extremely vicious, they are unscrupulous in their daily lives, and they can only whine and lament in the face of the projectiles fired by the firecrackers!

Murashita watched as the striker was completely annihilated in a short period of time, his hands trembling and the green tendons on his forehead bursting out. Then he turned his head and looked back, and the Ming soldiers blocked the way, still setting up firearms and shooting wildly. Murashita looked at the inky blue sky and shouted, "Zongshi, your soul hasn't dispersed yet, right?" What the hell is going on here? Don't be in such a hurry, I'm here to be your company! As he spoke, he raised the sword, and under the light of the fire, the bloodthirsty sword emitted a cold light, and it seemed to have a whimpering sound.

Murashita knelt down, rubbed the knife against his clothes several times, and then grasped the hilt with both hands, took a deep breath, and then stabbed himself in the middle of the stomach. He was going to commit suicide by disembowelment, and as a samurai, this was a very honorable death, much better than dying under a pistol.

"Murahata-sama, it's raining!" The guards beside him suddenly shouted.

At this time, the tip of the knife had already pierced the belly, and blood suddenly flowed out. Because the village was afraid of pain, he gritted his teeth and stabbed it a little bit, and when he heard the shouts of the guards, his hands immediately stopped. The face was cold, and then a large raindrop hit the forehead. Murashita showed a hideous smile, he was happy and anxious, he didn't expect that it was raining at this time! Immediately afterward, heavy rain began to fall in a hurry.

Chai Baochen was just outside the alley, and he sat in the inn, paying close attention to the situation of the battle. The air suddenly cooled, and then the sound of the rain caught everyone's attention. "Oops!" Chai Baochen shouted, "Come on, hurry, send more troops to the east gate and the west gate!" ”

The gunfire in the city spread to the outside of the city, and the village arranged for his soldiers to wait outside the city before entering the city. The Japanese soldiers began their assault on the city gates.

Murashita stood up, and he shouted loudly: "Charge me, you must break through the defense!" As he spoke, he ran forward with the soldiers. Why is Murashita so excited all of a sudden? You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, gunpowder was shot out of the gunpowder, not bullets. When it rains on a cloudy day, the gunpowder cannot be shot out when it is damp, that is, a dud. Murakita was accustomed to being a pirate at sea, and he knew that gunpowder was the right thing, so when the guards reminded him that it was raining, the knife he was holding in both hands was immediately removed from his belly.

The Ming army's guns couldn't go off, and they were a little flustered for a while. Because these Ming soldiers were not numerous, they only brought firearms with them, and they were isolated behind them, waiting to snipe the Japanese soldiers with gunpowder, and when the Japanese soldiers were demoralized, they would bring the Ming army on the other side of the alley to kill again.

Now the Ming army with firecrackers was very panicked, and they led the squad leader to say: "Withdraw!" "It is indeed time to withdraw, the situation between the enemy and us has changed, how can twenty-one unarmed soldiers stop the hysterical Japanese soldiers? Although these twenty-one soldiers were running, they were still chased by the Japanese soldiers who were running from behind. They had no choice but to fight with the Japanese soldiers with the barrels of their guns.

Obviously, these soldiers were at a disadvantage at this time, and they were soon wiped out. The village ran frantically, he didn't know the direction anymore, and suddenly he saw a large number of Ming troops chasing from the east gate, and the village hurriedly led his men to the west gate, and the other soldiers were attacking the city at the west gate.

At this time, Han Zhong, the commander of the army, was directing the battle at the head of the city, attacking the Japanese soldiers who came to attack the city. When he turned his head suddenly, he suddenly saw that the village had brought someone to kill, and he was very surprised. He called on his soldiers to be on guard and prepare for defense. But there are too few of them to compete with Murakita!

Soon, the village and other Japanese soldiers killed all the soldiers of the Ming army under the city and opened the city gate. When the soldiers outside the city gate saw the city gate open, they were very happy, and they didn't care about the heavy rain, and they were about to enter the city.

The village shouted loudly: "There is an ambush, retreat!" "Yes, Ningbo City has made full preparations for the enemy, and it is not much cheaper for the village to bring the Japanese soldiers in. On the contrary, there is a high probability that they will be wiped out. There is a saying in the Chinese art of war called "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." "The village doesn't know the other, and the Ningbo officials know themselves and know the other, and the village is unwilling to take the risk of fighting again.

He and his subordinates fled with the Japanese soldiers, and the rain stopped in the second half of the night. Murashita ordered the troops to rest in place. They are now hungry and in dire need of food. The village leaned against a tree to bandage his wounds, looked at the guards who had saved him just now and said, "What's your name?" ”

The guard bowed his head and replied, "My name is Hase." ”

"Hase, that's a good name. Who is your father? Murashita asked.

"Adults, the little ones don't want to mention that they bring their fathers." Hasei said.

"Why?" Murashita asked.

"Because he is a coward, he has always been timid on the battlefield, and he is a turtle with a shrunken head!" Hasei said.

When Murashita heard this, he was slightly stunned, looked at the young man again, and said, "Nagatani, you have a lot of knowledge, and you actually know gunpowder, which is very good. ”

"My lord, I know a little bit about gunpowder. And I know that there are sulfur mines around here, and we can make gunpowder and use it against the Ming army. Hasei said.
