Chapter 778: Out of the Hole
Luoshan Village, a subordinate of Xiaoshan County, dawn.
Before dawn, the whole village was still immersed in pre-dawn darkness. Some people in the fishermen's homes have begun to come out to be busy, feeling the dark to prepare for fishing, although the weather is in winter, but the sea is not sealed, and if you can go to sea, you can't rest.
The young man of the Yu family named Haiwang stretched out in the darkness against the night wind, listening to the old dog of He Agen's family next door barking non-stop, wondering why this old dog has so much spirit today. Make your own efforts, catch more fish, earn more money, and renovate your house. After the New Year, he can marry Aju, and he will have hope to be a father. When I think of my childhood sweetheart Ah Ju, when I think of the joy of getting married, even the cold night breeze is so pleasant.
His fishing boat was parked on the dock, and although it was very simple and badly damaged, it was all his possessions, and it was more important to him than his life. The boat is very dilapidated and cannot withstand the wind and waves, and it is impossible to go a little farther into the sea. In order to be able to save some more money, he decided to take some risks today and head towards slightly deeper waters.
Although he was not very old, he was already a sailor with a lot of experience at sea, and just as he was crouching down to untie the cable, the night wind blew, and a strange sound also drifted to his ears along the night wind. This sound seems to contain the sound of a conch blowing, the roar of thunder, and some ...... Strange fluctuations.
He stopped understanding the movement of the cable, and looked into the distance, the sea and the sky in the dark night, and before dawn he could not see anything. Until the huge outline like a city wall cut through the waves, and suddenly appeared in front of him.
With a loud bang, the big ship at the head slammed into the shore, followed by one after another, countless ships approaching one after another. When dawn finally triumphs over darkness and brings light, the entire Luoshan Village has fallen into eternal darkness.
The arrow arced and nailed the barking old dog to the ground, and next to the old dog was the body of his master, who had also been hit by an arrow. The torches were thrown on the grass hut, and the flames were intertwined with the thick eyes, and the whole village completely collapsed without resistance.
Haiwang was slashed by a widow at the first time, and fell to a ruin and fainted, but he didn't find anything follow-up. In a sense, he was lucky, at least he didn't have to see his parents killed, nor did he have to see his wife shouting his name as he passed through the door, stripped naked and pressed to the ground, and man after man pounced on her until she lost her last breath.
There are no real landlords in the village, and the so-called people who live a better life are just like that, and they are pitiful with little oil and water. Xu Dong, who served as the pioneer, inspected the meager loot, and looked at the more than a dozen destroyed Yu family girls who were no longer human, and shook his head
"These gains are too small to be used. You can divide it casually, and when you go to Ningbo, you will have everything in gold and silver beauties, not that this copper coin can be compared with the village women. Everyone hurry up and move on to the next place. ”
Beside him, there was a man of forty miles, Xu Dong stretched out his hand to him, "The Xu family's fleet is the most righteous, and these spoils are all yours." Women...... If you look pleasing to the eye, just pick a few, and take us to the next place, to a place with a lot of money and beautiful women! ”
It was only at noon that the government came to visit, and a surviving fisherman was found in the ruins, and it was a long time before his injuries healed.
For a time, along the coast of Zhejiang, Dinghai, Zhenhai, Xiaoshan, Haining and other places were full of smoke, and dozens of villages were flattened almost overnight. And the defense force in these places is limited, and it is still difficult to protect the county seat, let alone take the initiative to attack. It can also be seen from the news that there are thousands of people and horses of the enemy who came to attack, and the 100 people who went out were also sent to death, and they could not deal with it unless they sent a large army.
In the eyes of people in Yang Chengzu's position, the death losses in those villages are just a number. But the things behind these numbers make Yang Chengzu's heart feel a little uncomfortable. In fact, looking at the casualties alone, this number is not too large, compared with the losses caused by the Japanese rebellion in previous years, these losses have been calculated as very small.
But these deaths and injuries were not inevitable, and in order to make the game look like a little bit, these people had to be pushed onto the altar. At the level of temple calculations, this is inevitable, and I still feel a little sad in my heart, I can only say that I will succeed in ten thousand bones, and it will be the same.
"Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and whenever you fight, you always have to pay a price. From a calculating point of view, the losses of these villages together are not as good as a corner of Ningbo. If I could, I would have liked to avoid it, but unfortunately I have limited talent and can't do it. The Ming Sea is thousands of miles away, and the Japanese can land at any point, and our limited forces cannot be defended everywhere, and there is always a place that cannot be defended. If you don't pit Xu Yang this time, next time you really can't prevent it, you don't know how much you will die. ”
Leng Feishuang gritted his silver teeth, "You can't be blamed for this, those widows are ferocious, if you don't exterminate them, similar things will always happen." If you want to avenge these dead, you can only exterminate this group of pirates and return blood for blood. What should we do next? ”
"According to the plan, send a part of the army to assist Shaoxing, and the other battalion troops will be divided into coastal counties. Although there is no guarantee that something similar will not happen, it can at least do its best to ensure that the Japanese will not break through the county seat. These Japanese robbers are now attacking the village, and there are already such large casualties, if they break through the county seat, it will really be heavy casualties, and the blood will flow like a river, if the city is lost, then it can only be described in four words. ”
This division plan was jointly researched by Yang Chengzu and Leng Feishuang, and no third person knew about it except for the two of them. Leng Feishuang said: "When we originally designed the plan, Yu Wukou's strength was estimated to be about 5,000. But looking at it now, the actual enemy is far more than this number, and with such a division of troops, Ningbo will not have too many troops to support it in a short period of time. It's too dangerous to fight against so many thieves and traitors in the city with only two guards and your guards. Do you want to leave Ningbo first, leaving only your guard of honor here, or I disguise myself as you, and I can also bluff the Japanese Kou. ”
"What's the point of leaving a guard of honor? Xu Yang killed people and broke the town, he was slapping me in the face, if I hid back in Hangzhou, it didn't mean that I was afraid of him, and the face of the court would be gone. I can't lose the people of the court, and I can't collapse the platform of Long Live Guang! My woman and I are just waiting here to see what Xu Yang is capable of helping me? As for safety, with you, Zhuge Liang, I don't care about anything. ”
Under the appeal of the gentry in the southeast, the call for reinforcements rose wave after wave, and the new army had abundant food and salary, and the treatment was much higher than that of the military guards. At this time, it was definitely necessary to let the new army fight the vanguard, and the coastal county towns and guard posts all asked the imperial court to send the new army to resist the Japanese invaders. Even Yang Chengzu of Qincha was in this kind of voice, and he had to draw out some of his men and horses to help the defense, and one-third of his troops left the city like this.
In the military camp outside the city, a former leader of Taiyongzhong is now a coolie leader in the master's camp. In the barracks, the master's errand is the most tired, and he gains the least, but the slightest laziness is a whip down, and he can't help but be industrious.
A former subordinate appeared beside him like a ghost, gently pulled down his clothes, and muttered a few words, the leader's face was happy, and he turned his head to spread the news downward. The text of these messages is simple, but the content is enough to shock the earth, "Kill the new army and welcome Xu Yang." ”
