273, small group of Japanese troops [1/2]
The blue light of "Soldier's Swift Strategy" lit up, and Soft Muxing used all her strength to bring her skills to the limit.
The Yiwu soldiers only felt like the wind under their feet, and a pair of legs ran like flying. The speed is at least twice as fast. Iyun rode on a tall Mongolian camel and led the team on a wild run.
Soon passed through the Jiaxing Oasis and continued to run towards the Hangzhou Oasis in the southwest.
Between Suzhou and Hangzhou, the large and small oases are connected into a piece, there is no desert, so the residents here are also spread very widely, there are many people who do not live in the city, but live in the place between the Jiaxing oasis and the Hangzhou oasis, there are many small villages on the way.
When Yiyun's troops passed, they saw that all these villages were burned down, and everywhere the Japanese passed, they burned and looted, and they did all kinds of evil, and they could see the dead villagers on the roadside at any time, and occasionally a girl would die on the side of the road, and her clothes would be stripped of herself, and she was obviously humiliated before she died, and all the fertile fields were trampled down, and everything that could be taken was taken away, and everything that could not be taken was burned into a piece of black coal.
Eyun didn't have time to collect their bodies, so he had to keep praying. The little monk Pu Cong, who was following the team, kept chanting the scriptures.
The two girls, Soft Muxing and Lu Xi, were even more full of tears.
Two days later, Yi Yun's army arrived at the small city of Tongxiang Lvzhou, a small oasis sandwiched between Jiaxing and Hangzhou, with low walls and simple fortifications, although the defense was not very outstanding, but it was better to have a city wall than no city wall, and the nearby villagers fled here, huddled in this small city within a radius of less than ten miles, and waited in fear for the end of the war outside.
The Tongxiang Oasis had two hundred garrisons, all of whom were nervously stationed on the city walls at this time.
As soon as Iyun's army arrived, these defenders immediately let out a loud cheer, as if waiting for a savior, opened the city gate and let Iyun's army enter.
"I'm just walking through the city, I'm not going to be stationed here. Yi Yun shouted to the city guards, "You still have to protect yourselves. ”
"Ah, Lord Wang, do you want to continue to move forward?" a military general who looked like a hundred household officials said loudly: "If you go forward, you will be very dangerous, an army of 10,000 Japanese soldiers is attacking Hangzhou City, and now there are countless Japanese soldiers scattered in the wilderness between this city and Hangzhou City, although your guncorps is strong in combat, but if you are ambushed and besieged from all sides, the gunners will also suffer a big loss." ”
"Is 10,000 troops in front?" Yi Yun frowned, he had not naively thought that he could carry 10,000 cold weapons troops with 1,200 hot weapon troops.
No one knows better than him the advantages and disadvantages of the firearms, which are easy to defend the city, but not conducive to attacking. If the enemy digs trenches, or hides in the woods, ravines, or piles of rocks, the enemy will suffer huge losses if he attacks with guns. Rushing towards 10,000 enemies who are waiting for them is definitely an act of seeking death.
"Tell me what's going on in front of you!" Yi Yun asked, holding on to one of the generals.
The military general said with a bitter face: "When the army of the Japanese invaders arrived, Lord Hu Zhongxian only had 3,000 guards under his command, and 2,000 wolf soldiers were stationed in the city of Hangzhou. With a total strength of 5,000 people, 10,000 of them came to the mouth of the Qiantang River, and they forcibly landed at the mouth of the Qiantang River. Five days after the Japanese invaded Hangzhou, 2,000 reinforcements from the Jiaxing Oasis arrived and also entered the city. Now there were 7,000 officers and soldiers in the city, and the Japanese found that the attack was unfavorable, so they turned to siege and fight, and they scattered many small forces and plundered everywhere...... Fortunately, Lord Hu Zhongxian was wise and did not fall for the Japanese Bandits' strategy and did not send troops out of the city, but in this way, Hangzhou was stable, but the nearby villages were bad...... I don't know how many people were killed. ”...,
Yi Yun clenched his fists: "Damn the wolf." ”
Na Wu continued: "After the reinforcements from Jiaxing rushed into Hangzhou last time, the Japanese sent many sentry agents to closely monitor all roads leading to Hangzhou, and did not allow any reinforcements to enter the city again. They used the tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements, so Lord Jiashan, don't take the initiative to rush over, it's just a self-defeating net. ”
"Well, I basically get it!" Yi Yun nodded and said, "I won't rush in with my troops in a hurry." ”
As the two of them were talking about this, they suddenly heard a "scout" shouting: "Attention, four miles to the southwest, there is a group of Japanese bandits, numbering five hundred, it seems that they are a small team sent by the Japanese to rob the village...... Towards our Tongxiang Oasis. ”
"What? The Wako are coming!" Many people on the side of the city wall heard the words of the "scout" and immediately panicked, and they spread this sentence into the city, and then the people in the whole city began to be afraid, and uneasiness spread in the city.
Yi Yun frowned, and said loudly: "I'm afraid of a fart, prepare to fight, pass my order, ask the people to hide in the house behind the city wall, and prepare to watch a good show." ”
"That general, come here......" Yi Yun beckoned the general of the city defense of the Tongxiang Oasis: "You take your two hundred soldiers to the city wall and put on the appearance of defending the city, but everyone must have a frightened expression on their faces." ”
"Yes!" the military general laughed and said: "Don't worry, my subordinates are cowardly, if you want to put on a fierce appearance, you will definitely not succeed, you have to put on a scared appearance...... You don't have to swing it. ”
Evan: "......"
Yi Yun kicked him in the head, then turned to the soldiers behind him and ordered: "Prepare your firearms, climb to the top of the city wall, hide behind the wall, don't show your head, no one is allowed to have a hair exposed outside the city wall until I hear my order, shaved hair that shows hair, peel off the scalp if the scalp is exposed, and if the head is exposed to the city wall, you will be beheaded." ”
"Yes!" Although the Yiwu soldiers usually like to talk about cross talk, when the war begins, they become steel troops who abide by military discipline.
The city wall of Tongxiang Oasis is very low, the highest point is only four meters, and the low place is only two meters, and the space on the city wall is not wide, and the garrison ability is very bad. The original two hundred soldiers of Tongxiang Oasis had already stood on the edge of the city wall, and their expressions were indeed as the military general said just now, no need to pretend, it was also an expression of fear to death, indescribable. With such a low city wall, the Japanese can climb up even if they build a personal bridge, let alone use a ladder. The thought that they were about to face the enemy on such a low city wall made them feel that their hearts were going to jump out of their throats.
The Yiwu soldiers don't care about this kind of low city wall at all, for the hot weapon troops, the city wall or something will turn to ashes, they only need to have a small earthen fortress half a person high, which can let them hide behind the earthen fortress and fire, they feel safe enough, and the two-meter-high city wall has made them feel very powerful. These Yiwu soldiers prepared their firearms, crawled behind the city wall, and lay at the feet of the Tongxiang defenders, not daring to expose their bodies to the wall, they had to pat the calves of the Tongxiang defenders a few times, and comforted in a low voice: "Brother, it's okay to be pretended, don't be really afraid, we are here for you." ”
The Tongxiang defenders bowed their heads and smiled bitterly: "Yes...... Don't be afraid...... Ahem......"
Yi Yun also stood on the city wall, stood with the generals defending the city, and ordered loudly: "Now, prepare to resist the siege of five hundred Japanese invaders. ”
The Japanese came very quickly, more than four miles, for them it was less than half an hour away, a few days before they came, the Japanese had already sent scouts to reconnoiter this small city, there were two hundred guards in the city they knew, these guards were not in his eyes, because Jiangnan had been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the quality of the soldiers was extremely low. Although King Jiashan's defeat of Oda made Jiangnan's overall soldiers improve a bit, Jiangnan's Xiucai soldiers were still not the opponents of the Japanese Kou. ...,
Attacking a low city garrisoned by 200 Jiangnan soft egg soldiers with 500 Japanese pirates should be a matter of hand-to-hand capture.
It wasn't long before Iyun saw a chaotic array of approaching pirates, who had apparently made some simple siege preparations, bringing with them a dozen ladders, as well as flying claws, hooks, and other items used to climb the city walls.
After standing still outside the city's arrows, a fake widow who looked like a human came up and laughed: "The defenders of the city, open the city and surrender, but you don't die, we will grab the money and leave, if you dare to resist, there will be no chickens and dogs left after the city is broken." ”
"Cut, why are the lines of the Wako always so unoriginal?" Yi Yun laughed strangely on the city wall, "Please change your lines and say something passionate." ”
The human-looking man said, "Who are you?"
Yi Yun crooked his mouth and replied loudly: "Lao Tzu is the general of the Tongxiang Oasis garrison, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the dragon who is the son of the dragon who 'the old man'!"
"Shenma?" The would-be robbers were taken aback, this person's name is so!
The leader of the wolf was furious and said: "Listening to your name, you are very stupid, it can be seen that you must be a person who has no ability, only a mouth, you are going to die." ”
Yi Yun laughed and said, "Oh, I'm scared to death, I'm so scared of death, please come and kill me." ”
"***, siege!" The leader of the Japanese invaders waved their hands, and the five hundred Japanese robbers behind them rushed up together.
The shouting of killing suddenly shook the sky, and the Tongxiang defenders at the head of the city were startled, God, the prince of Jiashan came up to the city wall just to provoke the Japanese invaders? What does this mean? The people who were hiding in the houses behind the city wall to watch the battle trembled together...... The Wako are coming...... The Wako are coming...... Although it is rumored that the prince of Jiashan is very powerful, it is just a rumor, what if the rumor is not true? If the officers and soldiers are defeated, the people in the Tongxiang oasis will definitely be slaughtered.
