Chapter 547: Waiting for Work with Ease

However, Wang Bidi pointed out that Taizhou is now empty and the troops are tight. In order to save Xinhe, Qincha pulled out almost half of Taizhou's capable fighting troops, and if there were any Japanese invaders to Taizhou, Qincha would be in danger. Now that the siege of Xinhe has been lifted, then I should return to Gongwei Qincha. The icing on the cake is not important, but the charcoal in the snow is the key.

Zeng Shifang thought to himself, Nima, the soldier's brain is not open, the icing on the cake is insurance, you are sending charcoal in the snow, what if you encounter trouble? But when he saw that Wang Bidi insisted, he had to follow the other party's wishes and return to Taizhou. After running all the way, I only arrived in Taizhou City this morning. After entering the city, I saw the local Jinyi Wei Baihu Lejin, only to know that Yan Qincha had brought a group of men and horses to Gengjiazhai yesterday, and in the morning I heard that there were Japanese robbers who were defeated in Taizhou, and Yun Chuqi had already taken more than 100 auxiliary soldiers and 20 local Jinyi guards out of the city to intercept. Now there are only a part of the auxiliaries, the master and dozens of local brocade guards in Taizhou City.

This news frightened Zeng Shifang a lot. Geng Shaoquan let Qin Cha be destroyed, and Qin Cha is now going to Geng's village to eat big households, do you really treat that local tyrant as a good man and a woman? The Geng family clan can still make up a few hundred strong men, in case they turn their faces and detain people, wouldn't it be bad? And this defeated army is not to be underestimated.

If you follow Zeng Shifang's consistent temperament, you will have to pull out your legs and slip away. But now that he finally hugged Yan Hong's thigh, he counted on this uncle to ensure that he made a fortune and that his son was promoted. If your thigh is destroyed by a local tyrant, where will you cry? In addition, the elite soldiers who calculated Qi Jiguang would not be too late to chase and kill the Japanese invaders. With more than 200 people on his own, it is no problem to keep Qin Cha out of the chaotic army. As for how many of his men died. Even if you die, you don't feel distressed. Therefore. Zeng Shi is convenient and other Wenzhou group of heroes. and Wang Bidi's Zhejiang soldiers and horses went to Gengjiazhai, but they were just catching up with Yun Chuqi here and was dispatching people.

Yan Hong and Yun Chu were also very happy when they saw Zeng Shifang coming. The combat effectiveness of these more than 300 people is quite outstanding. Yun Chuqi immediately ordered that Wu Weizhong lead the Zhejiang army in six mandarin duck formations, lined up one by one, to resist the front of the Japanese invaders. Zhejiang Jinyiwei led three or four hundred strong men in Gengjiazhai to cover the two wings and rear of the Zhejiang army. The Beijing Jinyi Guard and the local guards guarded Yan Hong in the center. Among them, the brocade guards are equipped with firearms. When facing the enemy, the first gun was released, and after the gun was released, it was retreated to the rear of the Zhejiang soldiers.

Then with the two mandarin duck formations of the Zhejiang army and more than 200 Wenzhou martial arts people from Zeng Shifang, as well as nearly 1,000 strong men from other villages, they ambushed in the woods on both sides of the road. Wang Bidi and Zeng Shifang were the leaders of the two wings.

He also ordered the local Jinyi guards to scatter in the nearby forest with two or three hundred weaker strong men, in groups of three and five in a team. With gongs and drums, horns, as well as military flags and more than a dozen large flags made by the villagers privately. He also cut down a number of branches and prepared them, and when he heard the trumpets and drums, he beat the drums and shouted together, and raised the dust and waved the flags, so as to strengthen the momentum.

Yan Hong was quite impressed when he saw that Yun Chuqi was well arranged, but he was still very curious, if he didn't come, how would Yun Chuqi use more than 100 auxiliary soldiers and 20 local brocade guards to intercept the Japanese invaders. After the arrangement was completed, Yan Hong ordered to take out more than a dozen earthen speakers he brought, distribute them everywhere, and instructed: "After the gun is fired, you will sing the military song of the Zhejiang army together." Since these Japanese were defeated by the Zhejiang soldiers, they must have an impression of this military song, and I let him mess up without a fight! Yun Chuqi admired it and said: "This plan is comparable to the embattled in the past!" Yan Hong smiled and was triumphant.

At this time, seeing the smoke and dust rising in front of him, the Jinyi guard in charge of the sentry rushed back to report: "Master Qincha, the Japanese have come, and there are about a thousand people up and down, all on foot. Their ranks were scattered, their behavior was very disorganized, and most of them were defeated. General Qi's men and horses have not yet been seen. ”

Yan Hong is not afraid at all at this time, the lost dog still wants to bite Lao Tzu's feet? He picked up the loudspeaker and shouted, "That's very good! Everyone, work hard to kill the enemy, don't let General Qi rob all the credit! ”

Geng Dunru, the patriarch of Geng's village, was very nervous at the moment. He knows the Tao, and those who invaded southern Zhejiang this time are all true widows. Five thousand true wolves were killed by Qi Jiguang and only one thousand remained, what kind of monster is this Qi Laohu? But on the other hand, even if there are 1,000 true widows left, it is not something that the more than 1,000 villagers here can deal with casually. Then what did Yun Chuqi say about 2,000 officers and soldiers, deceiving children, where are there 2,000 officers and soldiers in Taizhou City? This old man originally wanted to be left and right, but he didn't expect to put himself in.

But at this point, he had to order: "Everyone get ready, take out your bows and crossbows, and prepare to release your arrows!" He no longer hides his secrets now, as soon as the dozens of good bows and crossbows were taken out, Yan Hong glanced at him, the contraband left by the Geng family was enough to wash all the rich families of his clan.

The fleeing team of pirates was gloomy and gloomy, and an aura of despair enveloped the entire army.

The warriors of Osumi Island, that's all there is left? Looking at those untidy and exhausted soldiers, Xin Goro only felt that he wanted to cry without tears. Think about how bold it was when you set off and swore to board the ship? The Japanese samurai were rampant in the Ming Dynasty, often fighting against the Ming army, which was ten times their size, without suffering losses, not to mention that this time it was the mobilization of 5,000 troops.

He only saw this as an opportunity to make a fortune, and when he turned around, his wife and daughter at home could wear clothes made of Ming silk, and they could eat candied fruit concocted with Western sugar, and the old shipowner had to pay himself a huge sum of money. But now, this army, which thought it could crisscross the southeast and was invincible, has become the appearance of this remnant of the defeated army! In terms of troops, there are 5,000 mighty Japanese people, and now there are not even 1,000 people.

At first, Mr. Li's strategy was very reasonable. Chen Dong and Ye Ma were in Ningbo, and they had already attracted the main force of officers and soldiers. The harassment of the Han Chinese and Japanese in the Xiangshan area further dispersed the strength of the Ming army. With 4,000 Japanese soldiers, he raided Taiping, and then waited for work to meet Qi Jiguang's 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers, which was originally a stable battle situation!

Who knew that this battle was so defeated! Fight more and fight less, or end up with a big defeat and loss. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came out in a strange formation that they couldn't understand, and their soldiers died as many as they went. This is simply unthinkable in the past battles! Is this still the invincible Matsuura samurai who has broken through the four seas and is known as invincible? After most of the samurai who fought the vanguard were damaged, the peasant soldiers in the ranks completely collapsed. Then, those Ming troops changed into small formations, groups of three or five, and chased and killed. The team that killed him could only fight and walk, and die all the way.

The swordsman Shibei of Aizhou's yin stream didn't look like a samurai or a swordsman at all. He was not beheaded by a good swordsman, but besieged by several lowly peasants, who stabbed him to death with those bamboo weapons. Even the secret of Aizhou's Yinliu swordsmanship that he carried with him became a trophy of the Ming army.

When he retreated from Taiping, the battle on the other side of Xinhe was also a mess. Katsukumamaru, an idiot, led a thousand men and horses to attack Qi Jiguang's old camp. This guy's troops are also mainly peasant soldiers, but after all, there are dozens of genuine samurai. Even in the melee in Japan, this combat force is a combat force that should not be underestimated. And the other party only has old farmers and women, no matter how you look at it, it is also the result of a tiger entering the flock. As a result, this idiot was actually played around by a group of women! At first, he regarded the women as the main force of the Zhejiang soldiers and did not dare to attack, but then he was actually attacked by this group of women and peasant soldiers, and the defeat was worse than his own.

Xin Wulang has always thought that he is a genius in the art of war and military science, and this time for the failure, he has completely attributed the blame to Katsukumaru's head, if it weren't for the fear of being chased and killed by the Zhejiang soldiers, the two would almost be on fire. However, before it was their turn to fight, an even greater doom had befallen them.

The Zhejiang army that defeated them in Taiping was different from the Ming army that they had seen before. Even if the other Ming troops were victorious, they would chase and return immediately, and they would never chase and fight fiercely. But this group of Zhejiang soldiers, as if they had a personal vendetta with their own troops, chased endlessly, tireless and fearless. I attacked their wife's city, but the question is that it hasn't been defeated, what are you excited about?

Xin Goro has been a widow for many years, and he has never experienced this level of fierce pursuit. In this contest of endurance, the side that was on the run could not resist this level of pursuit. In the past two days, there have often been broken battles, and each time, a large number of people have been killed by the pursuers. After successive defeats, the morale of the troops not only fell to the bottom, but also suffered from food and water shortages. Even Xin Goro's own bag of dry food and bamboo tubes for water were already empty, not to mention the other subordinates? The troops were not resupplied and their combat effectiveness continued to deteriorate severely. Yesterday I wanted to attack a village and get some food, but there was a small earthen fence outside the village, plus more than a dozen archers, and two or three hundred villagers armed with wooden guns and hoes.

If this continues, the fate of this army can only be total annihilation! Xin Goro is very clear about this, now his army is less than a thousand people, including many minor injuries, and the real combat effectiveness of the army is no more than three hundred, of which the samurai are not even twenty! In addition, the whole army ran out of food, and the low morale was only a thin line away from collapse.

Shingoro walked in the middle of the line, the gunshot wound on his shoulder getting worse day by day. At that time, after Taiping was shot, he didn't have time to deal with it, and the lead poison attacked, and the flesh near the wound began to rot, driving the entire arm and even half of the body, which was in a dull pain. He tried all the methods to detoxify, but none of them were very effective. He wanted to drink some soju, but he shook the bamboo tube on his body, and there was not even a sound in it. The last drink had already been used up a day ago, so I had to endure it first. (To be continued......)
