"Bang!"

The sound of gunfire alarmed the Japanese in the city, and the Japanese at the head of the city hurriedly opened fire and shot outward, but at such a distance, the iron cannon in their hands could not hit Zhang Zhun at all, so the body of the killed Japanese warrior was successfully pulled back.

The flames flickered, and dozens of would-be robbers, fully armed, rushed out of the city and hurriedly killed Zhang Zhun on his side. These robbers are indeed very fierce, and they move quite quickly after leaving the city. It's no wonder that they were able to control the south gate of Dasong City in a very short period of time.

"Withdraw!"

Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.

Soon, their figures disappeared into the darkness outside the city.

The farther away from the city, the slower the speed became, and finally they had to search around as if they were facing a great enemy. Because it was the end of March, it was dark all around, there was no moonlight and starlight, and the brighter the fire inside the city, the lower the visibility outside the city.

There was no choice, so the would-be robbers lit torches outside the city. In order to prevent attacks, they pulled the cordon far away. With the help of torches, they soon found blood on the ground and messy footprints, and naturally understood that something had happened to their companion. To their surprise, their companions were gone. They couldn't help but wonder if they had encountered a beast or something.

Faced with the darkness of the surrounding wilderness, the Japanese no longer dared to swim around unscrupulously. They had no idea where the enemy was lurking, and they had no direction to pursue. Raising a torch too far in the dark of night can easily fall into an enemy ambush circle. In desperation, they had no choice but to retreat back into the city. Soon, the gates were closed again. The number of pirate sentinels on the head of the city has also greatly increased, and it looks like a great enemy.

Zhang Zhun and the others returned to the temporary camp, and found that the Japanese did not chase after them, and many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Zhun and the others cleanly packed up the twelve Japanese warriors, which is indeed admirable. However, if they provoke a large number of pirates, they will not be able to stop them at all. Fortunately, the darkness hindered the movement of the Wakos. In this unfamiliar place, the Japanese did not dare to be presumptuous at night.

The twelve Japanese warriors who were killed were all laid on the ground. Now, of course, they don't have the arrogant appearance they just had. The military households of Da Songwei were all curious and angry looking at the corpses of the Japanese on the ground. Some people were still curious to go up and look at the clothes of these Japanese warriors. It turns out that this is what the Japanese are like.

Li Yi asked tentatively, "My lord, these people ......?"

Zhang Zhun said to Li Yi: "What do you think should be done?" ”

Li Yi swallowed his saliva fiercely and said obscurely: "It should be seen by people." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said with a cold face: "It's not to see, it's to take a look!" Let everyone see this embarrassment of the widows! What's so great about the Wakos? Wakos are also human! The same can be killed! Even, the Wako is even shorter than us! How many of these Japanese warriors are tall? If no one told you that this was a wolf, would you still be so afraid? ”

The surrounding military households are all secretly ashamed.

Indeed, they did not meet the Japanese at all, so they listened to the rumors and hurried out. In fact, judging from the corpses of the Japanese on the ground, these Japanese are indeed not a big deal. I knew that most of them were short, and as long as they mustered up the courage, they could fight the Japanese alone. Even if you can't go head-to-head, three to one, that's definitely fine.

After a slight pause, Zhang Zhun said with a cold face: "You arrange for the military households, divide them into twelve roads, and take the corpses of these Japanese warriors to the surrounding places where the military households are hiding to exhibit and show the public!" If you see the appearance of the widows with your own eyes, you still don't have the courage to resist, they are all eggless cowards! cut off the small ** and went to the palace to be a eunuch! ”

Li Yi hurriedly went.

Compared with before, Li Yi's actions this time are obviously much more positive and confident. With the corpses of these Japanese warriors as a model, I believe that some military households will still muster up the courage to fight against the Japanese invaders. As Zhang Zhun said, knowing that the Japanese are like this and can be killed, if they still don't have the courage to rise up against the Japanese invaders, they deserve to be cowardly for the rest of their lives, and they are useless.

Li Yi's most conservative estimate is that mobilizing 2,000 military households should not be a problem. In his heart, Li Yi really admired Zhang Zhun so much. The legendary incomparably ferocious widows were easily cleaned up in Zhang Zhun's hands. No wonder Tian Hengdao's Tartar is not Zhang Zhun's opponent. The Tiger Benjun is really a god! But why didn't Zhang Zhun buy the imperial court's account? Or, the imperial court didn't buy Zhang Zhun's account?

Yan Guizang is even more impressed. Just now he was standing beside Zhang Zhun and watched Zhang Zhun and them raise their firearms and shoot at those Japanese warriors. At that time, Yan Guizang was still thinking, how could he hit at such a distance? Isn't this a pure waste of ammunition? Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun and the others not only hit, but also hit all of them. Nine people shot at the same time, and nine of them fell on the spot. The remaining three would-be robbers were also cleaned up.

With such a magical shooting accuracy, Yan Guizang can't admire it if he wants to. In an instant, Zhang Zhun's image in his mind suddenly became a lot taller. Subconsciously, Yan Guizang is willing to do things with a character like Zhang Zhun. At this moment, Yan Guizang stood beside Zhang Zhun, like a child inviting merit, and said a little nervously: "My lord, what are my subordinates going to do now?" ”

Zhang Zhun looked around casually, and said lightly: "Arrange for someone to get up tomorrow morning to make breakfast for eight hundred people, and then, go to bed." ”

Yan Guizang was slightly stunned. Of course, there is no problem in arranging people to cook, although Da Songwei is also poor, this meal can still be afforded. However, arranging for someone to cook is really not a credit! Li Yi was busy mobilizing military households, but he had to sleep, and he always felt a little lost or something. If you don't do something meaningful, you don't feel comfortable in your heart, and you don't feel like you're being taken seriously by Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun said casually: "If you don't sleep, you won't have the energy to fight the Japanese invaders tomorrow." If you are slashed by a wolf, don't blame me. ”

Yan Guizang said with some hesitation: "I...... Am I going to fight the Woko too? ”

In his heart, he felt that since the Tiger Ben Army was here, it was of course the Tiger Ben Army that took the lead. They, the local military households, just shouted and cheered in the back. To be honest, Yan Guizang really has no confidence in the combat effectiveness of the local military households. Even if three fight one, it may not be able to gnaw down the widows. It's one thing in theory, it's another thing in practice.

Theoretically, the imperial court put so many silver taels and so many troops in Liaodong that it should have wiped out the Tartars a long time ago. However, the bitter truth is that the Tartars are getting stronger and stronger. Theoretically, it should not be a problem for three military households to deal with one Japanese robber, but in fact...... Well, Yan Guizang felt embarrassed himself.

Zhang Zhun deliberately stimulated Yan Guizang and said coldly: "If you're afraid, forget it." ”

Yan Guizang suddenly felt his blood surge, and he felt as if he was being underestimated. He was young and vigorous, and he couldn't stand Zhang Zhun's agitation, so he immediately said: "My lord, to be honest, I'm indeed a little scared. The firearms of our Haiyang Institute are basically unsoundable, and they cannot be used in battle at all. ”

Zhang Zhun squinted at him and said disapprerovingly: "Isn't it okay to use the knife?" ”

Yan Guizang was slightly stunned again, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" ”

Zhang Zhun said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Weapons or something, it's not important. The important thing is whether you have the determination to die. There are more than 1,000 Japanese robbers and tens of thousands of military households, even if each person has a knife and ten fights one, they can always kill each other, right? Look at the corpses of those would-be robbers just now, the ten of you rushed up, waist knives, spears, bows and arrows, all went into battle, couldn't you kill each other? ”

Yan Guizang was deeply ashamed. That's right, if the military households of Da Songwei had the courage to resist the Japanese Invaders, ten people rushed up and all kinds of weapons beckoned to the Japanese Invaders, and they might not be able to take the lives of the Wolves. It's just that no one has such courage. When most people hear the name of the wolf, they are first frightened, and they can't wait for their father and mother to have two more legs, so that they can run faster, where can they still have the courage to take up arms to fight?

Zhang Zhun didn't say anything, and fell asleep.

Yan Guizang also found a place, wanting to lie down, get a good night's sleep, and prepare for tomorrow's battle. However, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. In the end, he simply took out his waist knife, held it in his hand and slowly stroked the blade. As a hereditary hundred households, Yan Guizang's waist knife was passed down to him by his father, and it is said to be made of fine iron, which is quite sharp. A horse's head can be easily cut off with a single slash.

It's a pity that after all these years, the blade doesn't seem to be so sharp. Yan Guizang found a whetstone, sharpened the waist knife carefully, and then carefully put it away, and rested on the waist knife for a while. In a trance, I fell asleep in a daze.

……

The morning light opened the dark curtain of the earth, and before you knew it, a new day had arrived. Then, the sun came out of the horizon as usual, and sprinkled the earth with bright sunlight. The morning sun is always so warm and gentle, bringing a comfortable feeling to everyone.

In the campsite, no one spoke, and everyone was silently busy with their own affairs. Cook for cooking, prepare for weapons. There are many people who sharpen knives. Probably a lot of people's waist knives have rusted. There were also people holding their weapons and sitting there in a silent daze. A new day arrives and the battle begins. Who knows what the outcome of the battle with the Japanese will be?

After Zhang Zhun woke up, he jogged a few laps around the campsite, moved his body, and then started a busy day in high spirits. Yan Guizang has already arranged for the military households to make breakfast for everyone. Zhang Zhun's movements were very fast, and he finished breakfast with three times and five divided by two. During breakfast, there were few squeaks, and everyone's faces looked quite solemn, and it seemed that they were still a little nervous about today's battle.

Just after breakfast, Li Yi came back. He mobilized more than 300 military households, armed with various weapons, to assemble at the camp. Naturally, these military households mustered up the courage to come after seeing the corpses of the Japanese invaders. Subsequently, more military households arrived, carrying weapons. After a night's hard work, Li Yi mobilized a total of nearly 2,000 military households, and the results were not bad.

It's just that the weapons of these military households make Zhang Zhun very emotional. Most of the weapons of these military households were waist knives and spears. It's not that there are no firecrackers, it's just that even they don't quite believe that they can start in battle. As a result, very few people carry firearms. Even some of the waist knives and spears obviously need to be sharpened well to regain their original sharpness. The busiest thing in the whole camp is probably those few whetstones.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. A strong army must have strong weapons. Powerful weapons alone cannot forge a powerful army. However, without powerful weapons, it is certainly impossible to forge a strong army.

"My lord, the Soaring Word Camp reports to you!"

The hour was about to pass, and Zhang Youcai finally appeared in front of Zhang Zhun.

After a whole night of rapid marching, the soldiers of the Soaring Battalion finally arrived. After a long and rapid march, the soldiers were very tired, and some of them fell behind, but only about 530 people actually arrived.

"Good! Take a break, everyone! ”

"Breakfast is ready."

Zhang Zhun said happily.

The Soaring Battalion arrived, and he had the most powerful power in his hands. With the Biaozi camp by his side, no matter what the Japanese want to do, he will accompany him to the end. Zhang Zhun was a little worried just now, in case the Japanese invaders left the city at this time, he would not have his own army in his hands, so he could only watch temporarily. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Soaring Battalion finally arrived. He doesn't need to be a spectator anymore.

Regarding the arrival of the main force of the Tiger Ben Army, Li Yi, Yan Guizang and others must of course express a warm welcome. The soldiers who gathered looked at the soldiers of the Biaozi Battalion with the same curiosity. Many military households are whispering quietly, and they don't know what they are talking about. However, from their eyes, Zhang Zhun had a feeling that they might not believe that the Tiger Ben Army could really clean up the Japanese Bandits.

"My lord, the Japanese have a move." The soldiers of the Biaozi Battalion had just sat down for breakfast, and before they could fill their stomachs, Ma Yi hurried over.

"What move?" Zhang Zhun asked calmly.

"The pirates may have to leave the city." Ma Yi said cautiously.

"Out of town?" Zhang Zhun said to himself.

Twelve samurai were missing last night, and they must have been looking for them, so it was not surprising that they had come out of the city. Especially now that it's broad daylight, probably the Japanese no longer have scruples. The key is where they are going to search and advance after they leave the city, and how many troops they will invest.

From Zhang Zhun's point of view, of course, the more Japanese robbers who go out of the city, the better. The more Japanese who left the city, the fewer the Japanese who stayed in Dasong City. It is much easier to clean up the pirates outside the city than to siege the city. It is also very advantageous for rescuing hostages. It would have been better if the large army of the Japanese had gone out of the city, leaving only a small number of men to defend the city.

"Keep watching." Zhang Zhun said calmly.

"Understood!" Ma Yi agreed.

Zhang Zhun stood in front of a sandy field, carefully weighing the situation on both sides. In the sand in front of him, there was a map outlined with tree branches. This is the topography of Dasong City and the surrounding area outlined last night.

The Japanese invaded Da Songwei this time, probably to plunder the goods, and after plundering a certain amount of goods, they would quickly evacuate. It should be said that they have no intention of occupying Da Songwei and seizing territory. Therefore, the days of these widows staying in Dasong City will not exceed ten days. They had to get on board and escape before the massive reaction of the squadron.

After capturing Dasong City, the Wako may continue to loot nearby towns in order to plunder more wealth. The area around Dasongwei, from west to east, there are four counties such as Jimo, Laiyang, Qixia and Wendeng, and there are Jinghaiwei, Chengshanwei, Weihaiwei and other guards in the east. The only way to plunder the wealth is to kill these places.

Of course, there is also a good chance that the Japanese will go out of the city to retaliate and kill. They should have guessed that the twelve samurai who had left the city before had been killed. Of course, the Wako will not rest on their laurels. When they dragged those Japanese warriors last night, they must have left traces, and they will definitely follow these blood trails.

Sure enough, not long after, Ma Yi came back in a hurry. He sent the latest information. The pirates did leave the city, about two hundred and fifty men in all, armed with muskets. The direction of their attack is exactly where Zhang Zhun is now. Apparently revenge killings are coming.

"Soaring Word Camp!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Zhang Zhun shouted categorically.

There are more than 250 Japanese pirates, and it happens to be a delicious meal delivered to your door!

If these would-be turtles were to retreat in the city, it would take some effort for the Tiger Army to deal with them. Now, they actually went out of the city to die, and that was really too cooperative. Such a big gift, if the Tiger Benjun does not accept it, he is really sorry for God's favor.

"The First Association is on the left!"

"The second association is on the right!"

Yang Zhiyuan quickly ordered the troops to disperse.

Since the nearby terrain is relatively flat, it is unlikely to be ambushed, so Zhang Zhun assumed a posture of greeting him head-on. Since you can't ambush it, it's better to attack it head-on. There were more than 500 people in the Biaozi Battalion, and there were only 250 Japanese Bandits, which just caught the other party off guard. Cleanly and neatly eliminate all the Japanese robbers, so that the military households watching the battle next to them can all see the power of the Tiger Army.

"Line up!"

The voices of officers at all levels kept coming.

The soldiers of the Soaring Battalion lined up quickly.

The local military households of Da Songwei near the camp opened their eyes again. Although they had not yet seen the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Army's large army, they were deeply impressed by the swift movements of the Tiger Army's soldiers. Especially Li Yi and Yan Guizang and others, they were even more envious and red-eyed, and their hearts were greatly shaken. This is the real army!

The army they had seen before, when they were in formation, they were all grinding, how could they react so quickly? Even the soldiers of Dengzhou Mansion, when they were lined up, did not react so quickly. Platoon is the most basic quality of the army, if you can't even do this, what combat effectiveness can you talk about? If Da Songwei has such an army, where will it be the turn of the Japanese to wreak havoc?

"The Wokou are coming!"

News came in waves.

Sure enough, the brigade of Japanese robbers appeared on the ground in the southwest.

Seeing that there were troops lined up in front of them waiting for their arrival, these would-be robbers felt so strange, and then some people roared unscrupulously, and there was no scruple in the roar. In their opinion, the Ming army was simply looking for death by lining up and fighting them head-on!

In fact, it is true that some of the military households of the Great Songwei involuntarily retreated backwards because of fear. These widows are still a little frightened in their costumes, as if they are ghosts, helmets and masks, and most of the armor on their bodies is black, which is indeed a little scary at first glance.

It was found that the soldiers of the Tiger Army were lined up to meet the attack, and the leader of the Japanese Bandits also sent a signal to line up. Soon after, the pirates were also lined up. It is precisely the traditional three-stage shooting camp. The distance between the two sides is about sixty or seventy zhang.

"Quack!"

In the ranks of the pirates, someone shouted arrogantly.

The other would-be wokes seemed to be infected and burst out laughing.

Zhang Zhun frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Ma Yi reluctantly said: "It seems to mean that we don't even understand three-stage shooting." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded indifferently.

Grass, these widows, actually regarded the three-stage shooting as their invention! When Mu Guogong invented the three-stage shooting, your little Japanese Oda Nobunaga had not yet been born!

"Quack!"

The leader of the Japanese bandits who took the lead waved his katana and gave the order to attack.

All the pirates suddenly attacked with neat steps.

The distance between the two sides is slowly shortening.

Sixty zhang ......

Fifty zhang ......

"Fire!"

Zhang Zhun shouted without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang!"

In an instant, the entire campsite seemed to explode.

In the deafening sound of gunfire, the dense minnie bullets whizzed away.

The Japanese who rushed to the front, when they heard the gunshots at first glance, they still despised the Ming army on the opposite side for not having combat qualities, and what effect could they have if they shot at such a distance? The information they received said that the Ming army in the interior was very poor in combat effectiveness, and that was indeed the case. However, they soon realized that something was wrong.

"Ahh

Continuous screams rang out.

The whistling buckshot knocked the pirates to the ground in rows, as if they were cutting rice. When many of them fell, they were even lined up, and their posture of holding their guns did not change. In fact, the rudimentary armor on the Wako's body could not stop the blow of the Minnie bullet at all. As long as you are hit, it will be either death or injury.

After the first round of shooting, a third of the Japanese were down. Soft soil, completely soaked in blood. It's not that the Tiger Ben Guns are not powerful enough, but they are lined up in three rows, and before the front row falls, the back two rows are difficult to knock down. With the messiness of the Wako team, there are more targets that Minnie bullets can shoot.

"Free Fire!"

Zhang Zhun immediately shouted.

The Tiger Army has an overwhelming firepower advantage, and it is a good time to slaughter the other side. After the first round of shooting, the formation of the Japanese was completely disrupted. The fallen widows were one by one, and some of the corpses were even stacked on top of each other. The surviving pirates were in a hurry and lost their ground. There are Japanese robbers who are constantly firing iron cannons, trying to resist the attack of the Tiger Army.

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunshots continued to ring out continuously, as if they were about to completely overturn the surrounding fields. Puffs of white smoke rose and enveloped the entire campsite. The air was filled with the choking smell of gunpowder. Some local military households could not stand the strong smell of gunpowder and had to retreat.

The Japanese on the other side were completely stunned. The companions in front of them kept falling. Screams, moans, roars, and gunfire mingle together to form a melodious requiem for hell. At such a distance, they had no chance to counterattack at all, and the iron cannon in their hands kept firing, but it did not pose a substantial threat to the Tiger Army at all.

With the call of death, the Mini bullets continue to pursue the remnants of the Woko. Snipers such as Dugu Hunt can accurately shoot and kill each other from a distance. The leader of the roaring pirates was killed by Huang Xian with a single shot. In the blink of an eye, another large number of pirates fell in a pool of blood. Zhang Zhun held up the clairvoyant mirror and glanced at it, and there were less than fifty would-be widows who could still stand.

"Quack!"

"Quack!

In the midst of the gunfire, you can vaguely hear the yelling of the Japanese cowards, as if they have gone crazy. It's a pity that no one knows what the Japanese are yelling at, and there are no good things to say. In the face of such a head-on blow, it would be really strange if the Japanese could calm down. I'm afraid that they can't even dream of going out of the city in a menacing manner, trying to find someone to be unlucky, but they are all wiped out here!

Sure enough, some of the would-be robbers couldn't bear it anymore, threw away their weapons, turned around and ran. There are also some of the widows who continue to rush forward desperately, as if they are going to be sent to commit suicide. However, both forward and backward were nothing but futile for the Wakos. The flat terrain allows the power of Mini bullets to be exerted to the extreme, and as long as they are still within range, they can't escape at all.

In fact, after about five rounds of shooting, there were no more standing pirates. Faintly, I could see that in the pool of blood, there were Japanese cowards struggling hard, trying to wash and stand up. As a result, the snipers beside Zhang Zhun aimed at them, and raised their hands to shoot them. So they just lay there obediently and never moved again.

"Stop shooting!"

"Check the battlefield!"

"Beware of the pirates pretending to be dead!"

Yang Zhiyuan shouted cautiously.

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army disbanded the formation, and in a unit, the five of them covered each other, and approached the Japanese in the pool of blood step by step.
