Dozens of wooden boats wrapped in iron sheets are struggling to move forward in the face of the wind and waves at sea.

Originally, it was possible to reduce the wind and waves by being close to the coast, but it was possible that it would be discovered by the Ming troops patrolling the shore and cause unnecessary trouble.

Although the coastal Ming army is not much brave and good at fighting, since Yu Dayou took office, with the support of Zhang Jing, the Ming army guards along the coast have been rectified.

And this Japanese army was going in the direction of Taicang, so naturally they didn't want to clash with the Ming army along the road, which slowed down the trip.

Luo Wenlong stood at the bow of the boat, his brows furrowed, looking at the wind and waves ahead, with mixed feelings.

According to Xiao Qin's information, he hurried to Dengzhouwei and prepared to attack Xiao Feng, but halfway through the boat, the local eyeliner chased after him in a small boat, saying that Xiao Qin's news had changed again, Xiao Feng led the team to Nanjing, and threatened to go straight to Shanghai from Nanjing.

Xiao Qin hoped that Luo Wenlong would rush to Taicang, because to go to Shanghai, he would have to pass through Taicang Wei, and Xiao Qin said that he would dispatch the forces of the White Lotus Sect near Suzhou and Shanghai to attack Xiao Feng in Taicang with Luo Wenlong.

Luo Wenlong was not interested in Xiao Qin, he was willing to listen to Xiao Qin's opinion, completely because of Yan Shifan.

When Luo Wenlong was a Jiangyang thief, he was arrested by the imperial court and sentenced to death, but Yan Shifan took a fancy to his clear eyebrows and spent a lot of money to rescue him.

Originally, Yan Shifan took a fancy to Luo Wenlong, but after some exchanges, Yan Shifan really took a fancy to Luo Wenlong!

He realized that Luo Wenlong was not just a simple person with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he was not only a capable person, but also a capable person!

So Yan Shi

Fan intends to upgrade the relationship between the two from a comrade relationship to a comrade relationship!

None of the above three sentences is a clerical error or typo, and readers who can't understand it should not understand it blindly.

He decisively gave Luo Wenlong a sum of money and told him to stay away from the capital and go outside to develop. After all, Luo Wenlong was rescued from death row, and no matter how arrogant Yan Shifan was, he didn't dare to let him wander around the capital, so he could only fly away.

As a result, Luo Wenlong flew too far this time, and flew directly over the sea and flew to the Wa Kingdom. In the Wa Kingdom, Luo Wenlong studied abroad for two years, relying on his clear eyebrows and daring to fight, he obtained a foothold and an industry.

But Luo Wenlong remembered that his trip was not to immigrate to the Japanese Kingdom, he wanted to help Yan Shifan cultivate a force and prepare a final retreat.

Therefore, when Luo Wenlong found that the village battles between the generals of the Japanese Kingdom were very lively, and the samurai on the defeated side were popular to go to the coast of China to work, he was keenly aware that the opportunity had come.

Luo Wenlong traveled through various Japanese squads and obtained a large number of contacts and information. Then, under the operation of Yan Shifan, the Yan Party officials along the coast made an undercover plan, explaining that Luo Wenlong was ordered to go undercover and could be cleared at any time.

This plan is Yan Shifan's retreat to Luo Wenlong, Yan Shifan is indeed very interesting to Luo Wenlong, the two of them work together, leaving each other a way out.

Luo Wenlong mixed and mixed, and finally with his ability, he jumped from the pirate group to the pirate group and entered Xu Hai's entrepreneurial team.

At that time, Xu Hai and Wang Zhi turned their faces and set up their own doors, although the development was smooth, but there was a shortage of talents. Luo Wenlong looks

is like a talent, and he speaks well, and quickly won Xu Hai's appreciation.

When the two of them had an in-depth exchange, they were still fellow countrymen. When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears, and Xu Hai immediately regarded Luo Wenlong as his righteous son.

Later, with the assistance of Luo Wenlong, Xu Hai's power developed even more rapidly, becoming a pirate gang second only to Wang Zhi's group.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to talk about the difference between pirates and pirates. Strictly speaking, for the Ming court, these two are all the way. But if you make a careful distinction, there is still a certain difference.

A pirate is certainly a pirate, but a pirate is not necessarily a pirate. The pirate component is more sophisticated than that of the pirates, and they are more keen on looting and fighting at sea. Although they also raided at sea, they were more keen to move on land.

Moreover, the pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty at that time still had a strong commercial atmosphere, and their main profit point was not robbery, but smuggling! Robbery is just a secondary action!

The Japanese are different, the brain capacity of the Japanese is relatively small, they do not have business sense, and the main profit point is robbery, which is very untechnical.

So whether it's Wang Zhi or Xu Hai, they are generally not annoyed when they are called pirates, but if they are called widows, it is like the model is called the periphery, and they will definitely turn their faces.

Luo Wenlong has Yan Shifan as the internal response, and Xu Hai as the pillar outside, and he is very prosperous in the pirate and Japanese circles, and some people even call him "Little Zhuge on the sea", and every action is basically taken advantage of.

But the last time he cooperated with Xiao Qin's action, he was designed by Xiao Feng, and he lost his troops and was embarrassed. For this reason, when Xiao Qin proposed to cooperate again, Luo Wenlong also held his breath in his heart and planned to give

Xiao Feng dotted the color and looked.

Luo Wenlong brought out 300 elites under Xu Hai this time, and asked people to contact the three teams of Japanese pirates along the coast, each with about 100 people, forming a team of 600 people.

Xiao Feng dispatched 3,000 soldiers here, plus the soldiers of the Taicang Guard, there were as many as 5,000 people, and Luo Wenlong only took 600 people, so he dared to attack Taicang, is it crazy?

In fact, Luo Wenlong felt that these six hundred people were a little too cautious. In the long-term battles along the coast, it is generally accepted that the comparison of combat power is that one Japanese soldier fought at least thirty Ming soldiers.

Don't think it's a bit weird, that's exactly what it is. And the records of real history are even more bloody than this.

History of the Ming Dynasty. According to the Japanese Biography, on June 7, the 34th year of Jiajing, a group of Japanese robbers landed in Shangyu County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, and occupied a house.

The breakthrough is not counted, and on the way to break through, I also met a very unlucky, well-dressed and returned to the hometown, this imperial history was killed by the Japanese before he had time to slap the villagers who said that he was not promising.

After that, this gang of would-be robbers even rampant in Hangzhou Prefecture, robbing Yuqian and Changhua counties, sweeping and robbing all the way, and even took the initiative to intercept and kill the fleeing officers and soldiers. The last way to Nanjing!

So how many people are there in this gang of Japanese robbers who are bursting with combat effectiveness and sweeping the coastal areas south of the Yangtze River? There is a great deal of controversy over this, because there is a huge difference in the results of the examination, one says that there are 53 people, and the other says that there are 72 people, a difference of 40 percent......

Calculate it down, and

There are at least 5,000 soldiers of the Ming army who fought against the Japanese and the Japanese, and the approximate ratio is one to one hundred, and the average person is half of the Chu overlord.

What is certain is that those Japanese soldiers are desperate for themselves, and the Ming soldiers are fleeing for their lives, and only in this way can all this be explained.

At that time, most of the guards were not trained, and they didn't even hold weapons in peacetime, almost no different from ordinary people, except for running faster.

The most critical difference between soldiers and ordinary people is not their fighting skills, but their courage to work hard. It's something that takes a lot of hard work!

So whether it is Luo Wenlong or Xiao Qin, they are full of confidence in this attack on Xiao Feng, but now Xiao Qin's confidence has been somewhat hit, after all, if a person's home is stolen, he will have little confidence in the jungler.

And Luo Wenlong didn't know that Xiao Qin's house had been stolen at this time, so he was still full of confidence and rode the wind and waves in the direction of Taicang!

Xiao Qin and Gu Yue'er rode horses, followed by a few local sect members, and galloped in the direction of Taicang with anger!

Xiao Feng took Yu Dayou, Zhang Wuxin and three hundred cavalry, and in the backward places, they also rushed in the direction of Taicang!

Three thousand Nanjing mixed infantry, escorting the princess's big RV, traveled all the way at sunrise and sunset, slowly and leisurely in the direction of Taicang!

Finally, Luo Wenlong landed in Taicang! As expected, the guards who couldn't eat enough for two thousand meals, as soon as they saw such a large number of Japanese robbers appear, they immediately wanted to turn back and start running.

But this time, the thousand generals of the guard took the lead in changing, and they ordered

The guards lined up to meet the enemy and shouted shocking slogans.

"Although the imperial court didn't let us eat before, and although the local big families didn't support us in fighting the Japanese, we still can't retreat!"

The guards were at a loss: "My lord, why? When did we become so tigers? ”

"The new governor of Jiangnan, the great master Xiao Feng will order, win the battle, give gold and silver, dare to escape, and kill him!"

"My lord, I heard that Lord Xiao once led General Qi Jiguang to defeat the Tatar cavalry, is it true?"

"Is that still fake? Lord Xiao took General Yu this time and sent troops from Nanjing, and he will arrive in Taicang immediately!

If we retreat and are bumped into head-on by Lord Xiao, it will be a dead end!

Haven't you heard that Lord Xiao killed people all the way? When he saw us fleeing in the wilderness, could he not kill us? ”

"My lord, can we run along another route?"

"Don't dream, where is there any other way here in Taicang? Let's defend the county seat, at least there is a city wall to use, reinforcements will arrive soon, even if you die in battle, there will be a pension!

If we retreat and run away, we will also die, and we will be subject to military law, and our families will not be able to get a penny! We are all military households, we are dead, and the family has to make up for it and continue to send it to death! ”

"My lord, the last question, is it true to give gold and silver? The court has also said it before, but in the end, I tried my best, and I couldn't see the reward! ”

"This is said by Lord Xiao, do you know how rich Lord Xiao is? Do you know how much one of the two telescopes in our clinic can sell for on the black market now?

The soldiers who went with Lord Xiao to fight the Tatars, whether they lived or died, their families

Lord Xiao has been raised! Are you worried that Lord Xiao will pay off his debts? ”

Therefore, when Luo Wenlong led 600 Japanese soldiers to approach Taicang County with an unprecedentedly powerful lineup, he was surprised to find that the 2,000 guards of the Taicang Guards did not abandon the city and flee!

This simply makes no sense! In the past, a hundred would-be robbers could beat a county town and flee, but now it's six hundred, six hundred! Are the people of Taicang illiterate?

Originally, Luo Wenlong was planning to chase after the buttocks of the two thousand guards, and he kept chasing them to meet Xiao Feng's team. This is not arrogance, but a mature tactic commonly used by the Japanese Bandits.

For example, when the Japanese invaded a county town and learned that there were nearby officials with soldiers to rescue them, they would find a way to drive a group of defeated soldiers to meet them. These defeated troops are defeated like a mountain, and after they collide with reinforcements head-on, the reinforcements will also be in chaos.

Not only will there be chaos in the formation, but morale will also be seriously affected and hit. Human beings are social animals, and they always have the characteristics of social animals in their bones.

When most of the people in a group rush forward bravely, the timid people among them will also be inspired to move forward bravely, which is called group courage.

When most of the people in a group of people break up and flee for their lives, the brave people among them will also be coerced, and their courage will quickly break up, and they only care about fleeing for their lives, which is called group collapse.

The battalion soldiers were not as cowardly as the guards, and the Japanese were also very troubled to fight, so they used the defeated guards to disperse the battalions that came to the rescue many times, and won a complete victory.

But since Taicang Wei did not abandon the city and flee this time, his tactics of driving the sheep will not be used. Not only did he not need it, but if he bypassed Taicang and went to meet Xiao Feng's team on the road as originally planned

, if you don't do it, you will be sandwiched on both sides and wrap dumplings.

So Luo Wenlong decided to lay down Taicang first, and it didn't take much time anyway. Therefore, on the one hand, he sent a few Japanese robbers to report to the local White Lotus Sect branch, and on the other hand, he led people to attack the county seat fiercely.

The Taicang guards surprised Luo Wenlong again. Although they were still terrified, and even when they lifted the stones, their legs trembled, but they still did not delay them from shooting arrows and throwing stones at the bottom of the city.

The words of the two thousand presidents were deeply engraved into everyone's hearts: "Lord Xiao killed people all the way!" Lord Xiao is very rich, and he will never repay his debts! ”

In the past, the guards fled as soon as they were beaten, because it had become a practice for the guards to be deserters, and even the imperial court was helpless about it, and there was no law to punish the crime, otherwise the military households in the world would be killed.

Anyway, I ran for my life, and when the enemy retreated, I would return to the guard post and continue to serve as a soldier. If you don't let me be, that's just great, you can do anything these days, it's the most painful thing to be a soldier.

But this time, Xiao Feng killed people all the way, and the deterrent power was too great. These guards firmly believed that if they were bumped into by Xiao Feng as deserters, even if the court did not kill them, Xiao Feng would definitely kill them.

Since the left and right are dead, whether to die on the way to earn money for the family or die on the way to convict the family, this choice is like studying or being a monk, there is almost no choice.

After wiping their tears and confronting the Japanese for an hour, the legs of these guards were not so bad, and they suddenly found that they also had strength in their bodies. It doesn't seem to be so much effort to lift the rocks!

People's faith is fought out, and under the desperate battle,

Originally, I thought that half of the Chu overlord per capita was lying under the city wall for more than a dozen, and they did not carry siege weapons, although the wall of the county town was not high, but it was not something that a katana could split!

The guards suddenly increased their confidence and shouted to each other to support the weak links on the wall. Of course, the gap in combat effectiveness still exists objectively, and the guards shoot arrows condescendingly, and few can shoot them.

And the pirates bent their bows and arrows, and as long as there was an outcrop on the wall, it was almost eight or nine times out of ten. For a while, the city did not dare to stand up. The Japanese took the opportunity to set up a human ladder, which was their unique trick to attack the county seat.

First choose the shortest position of the city wall, and a widow rushes to the wall under the cover of a bow and arrow, squats slightly, and ties up his horse. The second one rushed forward, jumped on the shoulders of the first, and tied his horse as well.

The third Wako must be a selected master, with a short knife in his mouth and a long knife behind his back, one accelerated sprint, stepped on the shoulder of the first Wako, jumped up, and then stepped on the shoulder of the second Wako, and the second Wako fought hard!

The city wall of the county town is relatively low, so this widow can climb the wall! When he rushes to the top of the wall, he will be able to quickly slash out a clearing at the top of the wall, and then the second, the third, more and more will use this method to go up the wall.

When there are enough ten or so, they will be able to kill under the city gate, open the city gate, and the county will be counted. Of course, there is a gap in individual combat effectiveness, and there is also a gap in weapons.

The Japanese knives are hard and sharp, and the knives of the guards are basically ordinary iron knives, with very low steel content, which is easy to be cut and crooked, which greatly affects them

The psychological state of the soldier.

And the sword is still long! The battlefield fight is not a martial arts master competition, it is definitely an inch long and an inch strong, combined with these factors, once the guards are short-handed, it is basically the end of the rout.

At this time, the first human wall of the Japanese has been erected, the two Japanese have been stacked, and the third has turned over the wall, and it has succeeded! The posture is handsome!

The two thousand presidents brandished steel knives, rushed over desperately, and slashed wildly at the Japanese who were crawling towards the wall, cutting the bricks of the city straight to sparks.

As the president of Qian, their knives are serious steel knives, although they are not as good as Japanese knives, but they will never be cut off at once. That widow was not on a stable footing, and in the face of the crazy output of the two thousand generals, he was indeed in a hurry, and he was almost cut down directly from the city wall.

With a whoosh, an arrow from under the city hit the right arm of one of the thousand generals, and the thousand general's steel knives fell to the ground, and the leg was also stabbed by the short blade of the Japanese robbers, and he turned over and fell to the ground.

The remaining Qianzong shouted loudly, and several guards around him were terrified to come to help with spears, but the handles of the spears were all wooden, and they were cut off by the long knives of the Japanese Kou.

Just as the pirates were cheering, the legs of the pirates at the head of the wall tightened and they couldn't move, and then there was a sharp pain. The guards took the opportunity to stab with their spears, but the would-be could not dodge, so they could only use their double knives to protect themselves, and finally received a shot.

Taking advantage of his injury, Mr. Qian stepped forward and slashed his head, cutting off his head, and the cheers of the Japanese under the city stopped abruptly and turned into a furious shouting and scolding.

Lying on the ground, Mr. Qian was holding on to the leg of the wolf, and his mouth was biting on his leg, and he didn't know his leg

The masters have already split up. Seeing that his companion reached out to pull him, he let go of his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn, the bounty is down, Lao Tzu wants to take a big share!"
