Chapter 67
On November 18, the Mingzhou naval battalion received an urgent report that the Japanese invaders, led by the thief Zhang Jiushan, landed at Haimen, burned and looted all the way, and went inland, and Changshu Taicang had fallen into the hands of the enemy. 【Latest chapter reading. 】
It was not long after Zhou Hong led his troops to patrol last time, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, General Zhou was furious and immediately sent Zhou Hong to lead his troops to Haimen to control the enemy.
After the warships of the Mingzhou Navy arrived at Haimen, they confronted the Japanese who stayed on the shore of Haimen, only to find that the Japanese were very numerous and well-trained, and they could only outwit them.
He brought a part of Shui Zhi ashore from Hai'an, touched it all the way to Changshu, personally went to the hinterland of the enemy army to inquire about the military situation, and sent a message to General Zhou to ask for support.
General Zhou received the news from his eldest son, in addition to sending troops to reinforcements, he looked at the map and began to redeploy troops.
On November 22, the ignorant Ye Zhiqing followed Guo Jia to the Sū Zhōu Pier, and clashed with the Japanese Kou who stayed at the Sū Zhōu Pier, Guo Jia took Ye Zhiqing and Lao Song, and the only three remaining guards to the Sū Zhōu City retreated, fortunately, it was night, and the Japanese Kou did not seem to be very familiar with the alleys in the city, and the city gate was not defended, and there were drunk and drunk Wokou, and thieves who broke into the homes of ordinary people at will, the whole sū The city of zhōu has almost become a purgatory on earth.
Guo Jia had several shops in the city of Sū Zhōu, and he walked around the city in the middle of the night with several people, only to find that his property was almost empty under the looting of the Japanese Invaders, and the shopkeepers were already at a loss.
Sū Zhōu City is the place where he started his first stop with his money, and at that time, he tried to get rid of the shadow of the Mingzhou Guo clan and devoted almost all his efforts, but he did not expect to be burned in the hands of the Japanese Kou a few years later.
Fortunately, although there was a restaurant that was robbed, there were still old clothes from the kitchen guys when they were working in the corner, and there was a greasy and fishy smell, and this guy was about a short-term worker. He took a group of people to hide in his own restaurant, and threw the guy's old clothes to Ye Zhiqing: "Put them on, scatter your hair, and then use pot ash to smear your face." ”
Ye Zhiqing also knew that her ordinary outfit was too eye-catching in the city of Sū Zhōu, which was full of widows, if Guo Jia hadn't led them along the way to get rid of the widows on the dock and walk through the streets and alleys to find a place to live, if she fell into the hands of the widows, it would be better to live than to die.
She shook off the old clothes that smelled of the kitchen, hid behind the table and took off her dress, quickly put the man's short hair on her body, pulled her hair in a torn hat, and went into the kitchen in the dark, and touched under the stove by the moonlight, no matter how dirty it was, and grabbed the pot ash and wiped it on her face.
Now I have to be very lucky, the tiger girl girl is a man, the little girl is thin, maybe she was nourished before, she has not yet developed, she puts on the clothes of a young man who does rough work in a restaurant, ties a straw rope around her waist, and ties her hair into the shape of a little boy, which is much safer than a girl.
Guo Jia settled the group in the cellar of his restaurant, and prepared to go to the streets of Sū Zhōu with his long sword, and Lao Song followed: "I'll go too!" ”
As a result, in the end, he assigned the three guards he brought with him to disperse and go to the city of Sū Zhōu to find out the news, leaving only Ye Zhiqing and Hu Niu in the cellar.
The tiger girl was frightened and rubbed straight on Ye Zhiqing: "Girl, what should I do?" ”
The cellar may be a restaurant where grain and wine are stored, and there is a smell of dust, and after a few of them leave, they can still hear the squeaky of mice, and the tiger girl is so frightened that she is about to cry: "Girl, I am most afraid of mice, my stepmother used to lock me up, and I was bitten by mice." ”
At that time, she was still young, and Ye Zhiqing could probably figure it out, this was a psychological shadow left after this incident, so in the dark cellar with rat cries, her fear was magnified.
She took the tiger girl in her arms and touched her back over and over again: "Good girl, don't be afraid, it's going to be over soon!" Guo Sangongzi is very capable, Lao Song still retired from the battlefield, we will definitely be fine. "I scolded Xiao Ye over and over again in my heart, bastard, what are you doing in Yangzhou when you have nothing to do?
When it was almost dawn, Lao Song came back with a limp, with injuries on his body, and he could smell a heavy smell of blood, but Guo Jia and the people he brought did not come back.
Lao Song went down to the cellar, and his eyes were about to burst into flames: "Raised by a son of a bitch, there are widows everywhere!" How did the Japanese enter the city of Sū zhōu? "There are a lot of places in between.
Ye Zhiqing lit up the fire fold, and then saw that Lao Song's arm was cut bloody and there were many wounds on his body, and the tiger girl was so frightened that she almost screamed, but she also knew that she couldn't show her scream at this moment, so she could only help Ye Zhiqing hold the fire fold, and watched her learn that Suo Suo turned out the skirt that she had changed yesterday, revealing the muslin on the petticoat inside, tearing it into one piece, and then opening a jar of wine, cleaning Lao Song's wound with wine, and then bandaging Lao Song's wound with a cloth strip.
