Chapter 234: Defending to the Death, Blood-stained Linhai City
The young man's surname is Yu Wang.
It is Xiang Hong's cousin and nephew, and he was the deputy general under Xiang Hongqi, the general of Zhennan.
The realm of martial artists, the seventh-order top grade.
He is also the most talented general of the Xiang family in addition to Xiang Yu.
is the so-called brother who fights the tiger, and goes into battle as a father and son soldier.
Since Xiang Yuzhi left Wu and went to Jinling to avenge his father, but was killed by Zhao Dan and did not return, the Xiang family's military power inherited for two hundred years was coveted by other nobles.
In the past, Xiang Yuwang naturally didn't want to be in the company of the robbers, but now whether it is the national situation or personal enmity, he will not let the robbers return empty-handed.
"Lord Divine Envoy, according to the spies, there are only 5,000 garrisons in the whole area of Jiazhou, is it true or false?"
By the end of the night, Pat Kelsang had bulldozed hundreds of fishing villages and killed nearly 1,000 South Vietnamese soldiers.
In fact, as early as when they received the conspiracy of the Western Chu State, when they came to sneak attack, they had already entered Jiazhou's eyeline on the grounds of doing business in the past, bribed the local garrison soldiers, and obtained the Jiazhou garrison defense map.
But seeing the big ship behind them, which could have been boarded at any time, getting farther and farther away, and advancing inland far beyond the previous hundreds of years, Ba Gesang felt very unsteady.
Could this be that the South Vietnamese wanted to lure the enemy deeper and wait until they had no possibility of retreating, and then close the door and let the dogs take them down, right?
"Does General Bage believe me or do I still believe our Majesty?"
Xiang Yuwang's face showed contempt.
It is said that the coastal pirates are extremely fierce, but in his opinion, it is nothing more than that.
It can only be said that the coastal defense strength of South Vietnam is too weak, and the defense force of the common people is also very weak.
In Western Chu, it only takes an army of 1,000 people to kill this group of Japanese robbers who lose their armor.
"The divine envoy may not know that we usually loot within twenty miles of the coast, and the people near the sea here are very rich, and they come to grab one every three or five times, and the coastal line is so long, there is no way to stop us."
Ba Gesang is very proud of this, but thinking that the road he has never traveled before, it is inevitable that he will be empty-hearted.
"We've never advanced so deep inland, in case we get ambushed......"
"If you're afraid, just put it back in time, it's okay."
Xiang Yuwang knew that the other party wanted him to give a guarantee.
But now he represents not only an individual, but also the Western Chu State.
To be guaranteed?
He was able to tell this group of Japanese robbers that the South Vietnamese military defense was weaker than usual, and it was already very generous for them to take advantage of the opportunity.
Looking for him to assure you is a fool's dream!
The smile on Ba Gesang's face was about to be untenable, and his heart was even more entangled.
According to the news given by the Divine Envoy, and if necessary, they took one night to loot more than many times more wealth than before.
However, the ship was not yet full, and the troops sent by the whole country only robbed these treasures and went back, and it was indeed difficult to explain them.
In addition, the deeper you go inland, the more you can feel the prosperity of the South Vietnamese people.
Compared with them, the people of the villagers of Nanyue have exceeded a lot of clothing, food, shelter and transportation, and when they entered the city, they saw those ordinary people wearing a variety of brocades that only the royal family could wear, and they became more and more tempted by the idea of the Western Chu State to let them take the opportunity to land in South Vietnam and occupy the coastal ports.
"General Bage, there is an old saying in our interior, you can't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again, this time the South Vietnamese army is empty, it will not be met in a hundred years, I will not stop you if you want to go back, but I dare to guarantee that you will regret this decision for the rest of your life."
When Ba Gesang heard the words of the Divine Envoy, and then looked at the soldiers who were staring at the direction of the city with green eyes, he finally made up his mind.
He pulled out the long knife that he didn't know which South Vietnamese soldier he had snatched from in his hand, pointed to the seaside city ten miles away, and shouted excitedly.
"Rush into town! Grab them all! ”
"Oh roar!"
The pirates shouted excitedly, stomping on the blood on the ground and rushing forward.
The ships returning home behind them were getting farther and farther away from them.
But with the powerful nation of Xichu and the support of the Divine Envoy, they have nothing to fear.
Grab it!
Kill, kill, kill!
Linhai City is only 30 miles away from the nearest coastline, with a permanent population of only more than 30,000 people, even in the small land area of Nanyue, it is only a small seaside city.
Because of the sea, the garrison outside the city is usually 1,000.
However, due to the fact that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to crusade against the crown prince and transferred eighty percent of the troops, even if Luo Zheng paid attention to the matter of coastal defense, he could only leave 500 men to be stationed outside Linhai City.
Most of the 500 garrisons were brave veterans.
Therefore, when a human head appeared faintly ten miles away, the sentry gave a sharp whistle prompt.
"There's movement ahead!"
"Send scouts to investigate!"
Less than a moment.
Of the three-person scout team sent out, only one returned on horseback with a knife wound and shouted at the soldiers defending the city with all his strength.
"Gather your forces and resist the Japanese invaders!"
"Five thousand widows! That's 5,000 pirates! ”
No sooner had the scout finished his sentence than a strong wind struck from the back of his head.
He couldn't react at all, and his whole body was like a puddle of soft mud that was slapped off the horse and directly hit the wall.
Syllable!
It turned into a puddle of crimson.
Feeling that the strong wind from afar was so fierce, the soldiers defending the city were startled.
In particular, Qi Chenggong, the main general of the garrison, who heard that there were 5,000 Japanese raids and was ready to let the people turn into militia to block together, was shocked to see this scene and immediately dispelled this idea.
"There are still high-level martial artists in the Wako?"
Not good.
They don't talk about martial virtues, and they don't pay attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame like landlocked countries.
If they don't have high-level martial artists in their camp, they will only let their subordinates take action.
"No wonder the Woko are here...... Fast! Quickly send someone to open the gate of Xicheng City and organize the people to escape from Linhai City! ”
It is already difficult to rely on 500 soldiers to face high-level martial artists, let alone face 10 times as many as 5,000 Japanese warriors.
At present, they can only resist desperately, evacuate the people in the city, and try to buy time for the people in the city to escape.
Time.
There was chaos in the city of Linhai.
And Xiang Yuwang, the initiator who deliberately killed the scouts and caused chaos in Linhai City, stood on a branch outside the city, watching the battle between the five thousand Japanese and the five hundred South Vietnamese soldiers, and saw those South Vietnamese soldiers being cut down by the besieged Japanese invaders one after another, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
That's how brutal war is.
As long as it is not the Western Chu people who died, how many Nanyue and Wakou people died, and what does it have to do with him?
Xiang Yuwang's inaction made this battle last for two hours.
The time has just passed.
The gates of Linhai City were wide open, and the remaining 4,000 or so widows pounced on the empty streets like hungry wolves.
Some money-hungry people are still cleaning up, facing the army of Japanese robbers who seem to have fallen from the sky, and their wives died in an instant, regretting that they were not at the beginning.
"Your Excellency, do you want to go inland?"
After killing all the men in the city, and releasing the two rich ladies who were as beautiful as fairies in the eyes of Ba Gesang, they came to Xiang Yuwang to ask about their next plans.
Being able to take Linhai City in one fell swoop made Ba Gesang full of confidence.
Suddenly, I had a feeling that I could lead the strange soldiers to Jiazhou City to loot them like this.
"Hold the results first, and then slowly consume the Jiazhou troops who came to the rescue."
Xiang Yu saw that Ba Gesang was dissatisfied with his proposal, and knew that this was a group of vicious dogs that could not be fed, so he sneered and reminded Ba Gesang.
"When you get inland, then I can't make a casual move, if your remaining subordinates face up against the 5,000 coastal defense soldiers that Luo Zheng deliberately left, even if you win, you will suffer heavy losses, do you want to compete with the elite soldiers of South Vietnam?"
