Chapter 655: All-out counterattack
This team of soldiers is different from other soldiers, they kill decisively, and every time they go down, they are killed with one sword, and they are cooperating with the archers around them.
Those who wanted to protect Jiro Sakai's side of the Japanese were basically dead in less than a while.
Without the protection of these people, taking down Jiro Sakai was almost a smooth thing.
It's not so much that it didn't take much effort, but that Sakai Jiro didn't resist and was simply taken down.
Sakai Jiro was controlled, but there was a slight sneer on his face, and his gaze looked at Wu Dingguo like some kind of female trick succeeded.
Wu Dingguo jumped down and came to Sakai Jiro, staring at it with a dead eye, and when he glanced at it, he didn't ask Sakai Jiro what the purpose of the fireworks he set off just now, but scolded him coldly.
"Who the hell are you?"
Jiro Sakai had a playful smile on his face, and he looked at Wu Dingguo and said with a smile.
"Hehe, Metropolitan Governor, it's time to come, who am I, what's the point, in short, my task is complete, I want to kill or chop, listen to it."
"Okay, good, boy, don't worry, the old man will send someone to entertain you, I hope your mouth will be as hard as it is now."
"Someone, bring someone down for me!"
Sakai Jiro, who was controlled, was taken away by the soldiers, and Wu Dingguo stood in place, his face indifferent, looking into the distance.
Indeed, as Jiro Sakai said, his mission was accomplished, so what does it matter if he is really Jiro Sakai or not.
After so many years of fighting, I didn't expect that at the last moment, he was still put on a stand by Jiro Sakai.
On second thought, the second leader of the pirate group acted as a pioneer and took the lead in all important battles.
It can be said that he is to set an example for his subordinates and to stimulate fighting spirit, but every time he fights and fights viciously, the second leader can go to the battlefield alive afterwards.
Once or twice, it can be said to be luck, but every time it is like this, no matter how you look at it.
Now that the truth is revealed, this Sakai Jiro is also extremely cunning, and among his subordinates, there are also so-called stand-ins, and there is more than one.
After so many years, he has not been recognized, except for the fact that this person's secrecy is in place, I am afraid that he has also been acquiesced by several masters.
Only by communicating with the upper echelons can many things be implemented smoothly, and doing so can also boost the morale of many subordinates.
Even if you are brainless and deceived, but on the battlefield, looking at your head, taking the lead, not afraid of death, under weak hands, you will be aroused bloody, and you can often change the battlefield situation. Ь.
But who can be a stand-in for Jiro Sakai, is so loyal, it can only be said that this Jiro Sakai is still very powerful.
Wu Dingguo's gaze retracted, he knew that now was not the time to admire, the fireworks of the stand-in just now, the signal released, as the governor of Dongzhou.
Without guessing, they knew that the news was delivered, and in front of their eyes, the straight-line distance, only twenty or thirty miles, was the occupied Zuohai County City.
This stand-in only brought about a thousand people to raid, indicating that there were still two or three thousand people in Zuohai County.
The fireworks just now, as long as you stand on a high place, it is not difficult to be seen by the people of Zuohai County.
After a little cursory thought, Wu Dingguo knew that this was a signal to them to retreat.
The reason why he came to Sanming County City instead of Haizhou City in the rear was all arranged by Su Qi'an.
In order to let him lead the Dongzhou soldiers and set up an ambush.
This time, there were not only 5,000 Dongzhou soldiers, but 20,000 people.
The previous withdrawal was indeed withdrawn, but not completely.
Of the nearly 40,000 troops, 10,000 were killed or wounded, leaving 10,000 in Haizhou City, and the remaining 20,000 resting in several other county towns, in order to wait for today.
Su Qi'an's arrangement was to storm the Qing Chongjun City with an army of 20,000 Dongshan and Split Mountain, and put pressure on the pirates in the city to ask for help from the base camp.
only asked for reinforcements, and then, under the cover of new weapons, the Split Mountain Army, which accompanied the siege, had already quietly left to block Zhoushan Island
Reinforcements are coming.
On the other side, 50,000 stones of grain and grass were released in Sanming County, waiting for Zhong Liang to sell it.
And knowing that the reinforcements were blocked and the Qingchong County City was in danger, with Sakai Jiro's temperament, once he knew that there were 50,000 grains and grass in Sanming County, he would lead the army to raid anything.
As long as it can be done, it will naturally be able to take advantage of the danger of Chongjun City, and it will also be able to force Su Qi'an's army to withdraw, which can be described as wonderful.
Of course, this kind of wonderfulness requires the cooperation of people, and this person is Zhong Liang.
Sure enough, the form of the next battlefield, every step the other party took was expected by Su Qi'an.
This kind of scene, Wu Dingguo was greatly shocked to watch, after so many years of fighting, he saw for the first time the accuracy of the other party's calculations to every step, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is wise and close to the demon.
Wu Dingguo once asked Su Qi'an what if Zhong Liang's conscience found out that he had not betrayed the location of the granary in Sanming County.
He remembered that Su Qi'an said lightly, "Then eat Qingchong County City in one go." Xiushu.com
At that time, Wu Dingguo didn't believe it, after all, even their nearly 40,000 people failed to defeat the two counties, even if Su Qi'an changed his tactics and stormed the Qingchong county city, but with his troops, it was really difficult to eat it in one go.
But now, Su Qi'an not only defeated the pirates in Qingchong County, but also divided his troops to block the reinforcements on Zhoushan Island.
It can be said that in this counterattack, Su Qi'an's army suffered the greatest damage, and the 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers they rested were just an ambush.
It's not that Su Qi'an doesn't value them, but after the last fiasco, the morale of the Dongzhou soldiers has long fallen to the bottom.
At this time, it is very difficult to activate even to block the incoming soldiers, so in order to rebuild morale.
He discussed with Su Qi'an, this ambush was handed over to them to practice, and if the Tang Dynasty continued to decline, Wu Dingguo would rectify it by force.
Fortunately, these soldiers under him know the gains and losses of honor and disgrace, and this ambush has once again stimulated the bloody nature in their hearts.
Not to mention the previous downturn, but at least there is a tendency to regain momentum.
The ambush in Sanming County is over, but their mission has only just begun.
Wu Dingguo turned around, walked to a high place, looked at the crowd gathered again, and shouted loudly.
"Everyone, some beautiful words, the old man won't say, but you also know the current situation, these thousand people have been annihilated, can we be satisfied!"
"Nope!" The crowd yelled.
"That's right, now that the war has just begun, the Inspector and the Marquis of Lingdong are leading their brothers to fight on the front line, and it will not be long before they can take the Qingchong County City, and we will stay here, are you willing? Tell the old man out loud, what is your goal!"
"Kill all the pirates and recapture the county town of Zuohai, and be ashamed!"
"Kill all the widows, shame on you!"
In an instant, in the darkness outside the city, an earth-shattering roar sounded.
The voice was mixed with anger and resounded through the dark night sky. Wu Dingguo looked at everyone with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, only one sentence.
"Okay, they're all good sons of Dongzhou, everyone, set off with the old man!"
With an order, outside Sanming County, Dongzhou County, which had nearly 20,000 people, went straight to Zuohai County under the leadership of Wu Dingguo.
This way, there is no need to hide their whereabouts at all, at this time, everyone has already screamed, not to mention that there are only a few thousand Japanese robbers in Zuohai County, even if it is tens of thousands, they dare to fight hard.
In all their hearts, there is only one purpose, to recapture Zuohai County.
At this time, Zuohai County City can be said to be noisy, and the news sent by the stand-in can be seen clearly when standing on the city tower.
Almost immediately, he quickly informed everyone in the city, and all of a sudden, the pirates and robbers in the city were obviously panicked.
Of course, they knew what the signal of the fireworks meant, that is, the news that they were plotting to withdraw their troops quickly.
Just as everyone was panicking, a leader-like figure quickly stepped forward
, shouting to the people in the city.
"Don't panic, everyone, since the matter has been lost, now according to the arrangement given to us by the second master, we will withdraw the troops quickly and alternately."
"Don't worry, the second master has also made preparations for this matter, I have asked the base camp for help, as long as we retreat in an orderly manner, someone will definitely answer us."
The words of this remark somewhat appeased the noisy crowd, after all, this person's identity is Sakai Jiro's confidant, and before Sakai Jiro left, he was given carte blanche to be responsible, and what he said was at least credible.
Soon, under the arrangement of this person, the three thousand Japanese in the city alternately covered the retreat.
If they all retreat in one go, no one will stop them, and once a pursuer catches up, everyone will have to make dumplings.
After a while, the back gate of the quiet Zuohai County City, under the leadership of this leader, some people evacuated one after another, and according to the route they came before, they disappeared into the night after about a while.
They walked very fast, but the Dongzhou soldiers who came towards them were even faster.
Just as they left less than a dozen miles, in the rear of Zuohai County, the sound of fierce fighting could be heard.
This scene made everyone's hearts tighten, and they frantically accelerated their speed to flee again.
After walking for more than ten miles, under the arrangement of the leader, the 2,000 Japanese who escaped from the city were distributed from all directions according to the scale of a dozen people.
This is also done to ensure that there is a greater chance of survival.
The leader and a dozen people around him, not long after they dispersed with the large army, seemed to feel something, and plunged into the forest on the side in one breath, holding his breath and lurking.
About a moment later, a team of hundreds of Dongzhou soldiers, armed with torches, chased after them.
Each of them looked fierce and vicious, constantly patrolling this forest.
As time passed, seeing that they were about to approach them, suddenly, a man shouted.
"Come, these slaves are here! Kill them all!"
The next moment, hundreds of Dongzhou soldiers swarmed and left the forest after a while.
Seeing the departure of the state soldiers, the widows lying in the forest suddenly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, and the leader looked indifferent and scolded coldly.
"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
After being reprimanded, his subordinates hurriedly got up, nodded again and again, and whispered to the leader.
"Second master, you said that the base camp would send reinforcements to meet us, can we go back alive?"
