243 Firearms are unscrupulous
The pursuing pirates stopped on the opposite side of the Kanyu camp's position, and they also needed to assemble before they could charge and kill in the face of an opponent who was waiting for them. Jiro Ikeda, holding a katana in his hand, stepped out of the group and shouted a few words of Japanese at the Kanyu camp, and then an interpreter ran out from behind him and translated his words into Chinese:
"Our general said, hand over your leader Su Hao, and he will spare you from death. Our great Japanese samurai are invincible, you don't want to block the car with your mantis arm. ”
"Damn, there are traitors in any era!" Su Hao stood in the team and said to Deng Kui in disgust. Wearing a silk scarf and a shirt, this interpreter is clearly dressed as a Chinese showman, but he somehow became a lackey of the Japanese Bandits.
"Qianhu, this is a delaying tactic. They are all tired of running, and we can't give them time to breathe. Deng Kui reminded in a low voice.
Su Hao said: "Don't worry, haven't you seen that their people haven't arrived yet, we have to wait for them to arrive before we start." ”
"Thousand households...... Don't be too greedy. Deng Kui said helplessly.
Su Hao smiled, walked out of the team, and came to the front of the two armies. Deng Kui hurriedly stepped forward with a knife to protect him, and on the other side, Chen Guanyu also followed and stood behind Su Hao.
"Who is on the other side, you are the leader of the Japanese Bandits, what's your name?" Su Hao asked, pointing at Jiro Ikeda.
The interpreter translated Su Hao's words to Jiro Ikeda, and then turned back to Su Hao and said, "Our general's name is Jiro Ikeda, but you are that Su Hao?" ”
"I'm Su Hao." Su Hao pretended to be honest and said, "I want to ask Mr. Ikeda, you and I have no grievances in the past, and no enemies in the near future, why do you want to embarrass me?" As far as I know, I haven't offended you, have I? ”
"We do have no grievances with Mr. Su. It's just collecting money to do things. If Mr. Su can afford the price, we are willing to do things for Mr. Su. Jiro Ikeda said to Su Hao through an interpreter that this guy is probably also a literary young man, and he is quite polite when he speaks.
"Oh, I see, I don't know who Mr. Ikeda is." Su Hao pretended to be stupid.
Jiro Ikeda said: "Mr. Su, don't ask knowingly, don't you think about who you have offended recently?" ”
Su Hao said: "I know that I have offended a lot of local heroes, but this is a matter of the last few days. Why did Mr. Ikeda get the letter so quickly? Could it be that Mr. Ikeda didn't come from Japan? ”
Jiro Ikeda smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Su is a smart person, don't you really know that General Ben is stationed in Huai'an?" ”
"Is that so?" Su Hao was a little surprised. The officials of Huai'an Mansion knew about the Japanese invaders entrenched on the Yancheng seashore, but everyone was reluctant to say it, so Su Hao really didn't know anything about it.
Chen Guanyu stood behind Su Hao and whispered: "Proprietor, when Lao Dao was visiting the people, I heard that there were Japanese robbers in the local area. It must be them. It's just that its dwelling is extremely secret, and I don't know if the proprietor can take it out. ”
Su Hao looked at the interpreter beside Jiro Ikeda, and had an idea in his heart, he whispered to Deng Kui: "Old Deng." You look at that interpreter, I want to live. ”
"Don't worry." Deng Kui understood what Su Hao meant, and responded in a low voice.
Seeing the people on Su Hao's side muttering, Ikeda Jiro asked, "Mr. Su." Is there something to say? ”
Su Hao smiled: "Yes, Mr. Ikeda, I was discussing with my subordinates just now. Let's see if it's better to fight in culture or martial arts between us, I don't know what Mr. Ikeda has to say. ”
"How about Wendou, what about Wudou?" Jiro Ikeda asked.
Su Hao said: "Martial arts, even if you gather people well, I will also gather people well, and each of them will kill each other with a blade." However, this is too bloody and contrary to the way of saints. Wendou, that is, the two of us are the main generals, if you win, I will go with you, if I win, you will go with me, how about it? ”
"Hahahaha, that's so funny!" Jiro Ikeda burst out laughing, he waved the katana in his hand, and said, "Mr. Su, do you know how many people's blood has been stained on my sword?" Once the knife is unsheathed, it will not be withdrawn without blood. I'm willing to fight you, but if I win, I don't need you to come with me, I just need to take your head. ”
Su Hao was gossiping with Jiro Ikeda, but his eyes were secretly scanning the team of Japanese robbers. He noticed that the would-be robbers who had been running slower had all entered the team one after another. Several small leaders gathered the Japanese into several squads and stood behind Jiro Ikeda, preparing to charge. In addition, the bandits led by Pang Dengkui also came forward, standing about one or two hundred steps behind the Japanese Invaders, waiting for the Wolves to break through the defense line of the Survey Camp, and then they came up to pick up the bargain.
The time is ripe, and success or failure is here.
Thinking of this, Su Hao coughed lightly and sent a signal to Deng Kui and Chen Guanyu, and then smiled slightly on his face and said, "Mr. Ikeda, I bet, you and I will compete, you will definitely lose, do you believe it or not?" ”
"Do you have that confidence?" Jiro Ikeda asked.
"I have such confidence, why...... Look over there! ”
Su Hao suddenly pointed to the side with his hand, Jiro Ikeda had been talking to Su Hao, his vigilance had relaxed, and when he heard Su Hao's words, he subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of Su Hao's finger. At this moment, Su Hao flashed to the side, revealing Chen Guanyu behind him. Chen Guanyu held two flintlock pistols flat in both hands and pulled the trigger at Jiro Ikeda.
"Phew! Bang! ”
Two gunshots rang out, and Jiro Ikeda knew it was too late. Chen Guanyu has been practicing marksmanship for most of the past half a year, and he has been superbly skilled in sneak attacks. Of the two shots, one in the arm and the other in the chest. Jiro Ikeda watched the blood gush out of his chest, and it was too late to say anything. The katana in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, and then his body fell backwards with a heavy thud.
At the same time as Chen Guanyu shot, Deng Kui also shot. He stepped forward, grabbed the hand of the interpreter standing next to Jiro Ikeda, and pulled him into his arms. The translator was a scholar, and he was powerless, so he was pulled by Deng Kui. Deng Kui kicked his feet, kicked up the katana that Jiro Ikeda had fallen, and grabbed it. And then quickly withdrawn.
All of this was done in just a matter of seconds. By the time the widows behind reacted and began to shout loudly, Su Hao and his party had already taken seven or eight steps back and leaned to the front of their own camp.
"Mingren cheats!"
"They killed the general with a firecracker!"
"Rush forward and kill all the Ming people!"
All the pirates were enraged, and the death of the main general made them lose their command at once, and they swung their long knives and pounced on the camp of the Ming army according to their old habits.
"Attack the enemy!" Deng Kui threw the captured interpreter and the captured katana behind him. Then he raised his broadsword and gave the order to the whole team.
As soon as the order came out, I saw Xiong Minyang and six or seven veterans of the survey camp suddenly run out, and they waved their arms and threw a dozen melon-shaped things towards the place where the Japanese were focused. The third elder of the Xiong family is not as powerful as his brother, but he is good at tricks, Su Hao asked him to preside over the establishment of a grenade team, and it was time for them to show their might.
Although the Japanese on the other side were furious, they were not defenseless. Seeing something flying, the would-be robber, who thought he had done a good job, triumphantly reached out to pick it up......
"Boom!"
"Boom! Rumble! ”
A loud explosion rang out in the crowd of would-be robbers, causing even the horses hiding behind the soldiers of the Kanyu Camp to scream in fright. The power of the grenade, filled with yellow explosives, was far from comparable to that of the traditional black powder firearms of the Ming army, accompanied by thick smoke and blinding fire. Countless broken arms and stumps of the would-be can be seen flying all over the sky, and rows of would-be robbers were pushed to the ground by the shock wave of the explosion, and the scene was in shambles.
The formation of the pirates was completely blown apart, and at least nine out of ten people were wounded. Many people were stunned and had no idea what was going on.
"Charge!"
The survey camp was waiting for this moment, and Deng Kui took the lead. Swinging a broadsword and rushing out. More than 200 soldiers rushed towards the pirates in a charging formation, holding their spears.
"Brothers of Huai'anwei, the time has come to shame!"
Behind the survey battalion, the 1,000 officers and soldiers of Huai'anwei had lined up at some point, and standing at the front of them was Zhang Yunlong. Xu Guangzu didn't know what medicine he poured into Zhong Daren, or what threats he said, so he really gave up his command, and Zhang Yunlong, who had always been quite famous in the Thousand Households Battalion, was temporarily appointed as the vanguard of the former enemy. Seeing that the Kanyu Battalion had blown up the Japanese with firearms, Zhang Yunlong roared and rushed out with Huai Anwei.
"Hurry, follow the rush, what are you waiting for!" Seeing this situation, Hu Kaixiang of the Thousand Households of the River General Military Mansion knew that the situation had been completely reversed, and if he didn't attack at this time, he would be a big fool. He rode on his horse and gave orders to his men.
"Run!"
This time it was the turn of the pirates to flee for their lives, and they had formed their ranks beforehand, only to have each squad thrown a few grenades into each squad. Among the ten adults, thirty percent were killed on the spot, three percent lacked arms and legs, and completely lost their combat ability, although the rest still had the strength to fight, but the fighting spirit had completely collapsed, how to block the Ming army that pounced like a tiger and wolf.
The Japanese were defeated by firearms in just one face, which made the bandits who followed them completely panicked, and when they tried to run again, it was already a little too late. In today's day, the bandits first fought with the Kanyu battalion, then were driven away by the river soldiers and Huai'an guards, and then chased these officers and soldiers back. However, the survey camp that rushed towards them after the Japanese invaders has always been waiting for work, and the momentum is booming, and the strength of the two sides is very different.
"Brothers, fight with the officers and soldiers!" Pang Dengkui recognized the situation and knew that it was impossible to escape for his life today, so he waved his big knife and called on his subordinates to resist stubbornly.
"You talk a lot!" Su Hao happened to rush to a place more than ten steps away from Pang Dengkui, and when he heard Pang Dengkui's shout, he couldn't help but curse, and then pulled out a flintlock pistol and shot Pang Dengkui.
"Oh, my mother!"
Su Hao shot while running, his head was not high, and the shot hit the root of Pang Dengkui's thigh, so painful that he threw away the knife, fell to the ground and rolled over with his wounds. Seeing that there was an opportunity, the big man Xiong Minfan rushed forward, raised his spear and fell, giving Pang Dengkui a chill. He also deliberately showed his strength, and used his spear to pick up the corpse of Pang Dengkui, who weighed almost 200 pounds.
"The bandit leader is dead, so you can't descend quickly!" Xiong Minfan shouted loudly.
"The second child of the Xiong family, kill the leader of the bandits, the first achievement, go back and raise you as the general flag!" Su Hao promised an official position without hesitation.
Seeing that Xiong Minfan picked a bandit leader and got the official title of a general banner, the soldiers of the survey battalion were crazy, and they shouted loudly:
"Kill the Woko!"
"Kill the bandits!"
"Whoever cuts more heads can be the general flag!"
"Don't grab it, this head is mine!"
“……”
The whole battle turned into a one-sided slaughter. (To be continued......)
