"This official is Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, and the imperial court appointed me as the commander-in-chief of this anti-Japanese operation!"

Hu Zongxian looked at the solemn-looking soldiers in the audience and said loudly.

"A few days ago, my official received a war report that the previously exterminated Japanese robbers had rekindled in the neighboring province of Fujian! Not only that, but they have also occupied more than 1,000 kilometers of land from Funing to Zhangquan and Quan, where the people are now being ravaged by the Japanese and we have an obligation to save them from their misery! ”

"The proceeds of this seizure do not have to be handed over, and the soldiers can keep them by themselves!"

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

And long before leaving, Hu Zongxian also explained the truth of the extermination of the Japanese to everyone, and this time the army set out, not only to suppress the Japanese people, but also to clean up all the gentry who hid the population and annexed the land along the coast.

Immediately afterwards, the roaring sound wandered on the official road, which was the sound of countless soldiers and war horses trampling on the ground, more than 9,000 well-equipped and armored Ming troops, divided into three armies, marched towards the neighboring province of Fujian.

……

During the Hongwu period, the imperial court placed the political envoy of Fujian, stationed in Fuzhou Prefecture, and governed 69 counties of ten prefectures and two prefectures.

The army where the general Wang Shun is located is the Chinese army, and it is also personally commanded by Hu Zongxian, and the general under his command is Qi Jiguang, and their task on this road is to start from Shouning County and march all the way to the east, directly into the Zhangzhou Mansion occupied by the Japanese invaders.

Since the army entered Fujian Province, it has encountered no resistance along the way, and everywhere it went, except for a small group of Japanese pirates, it has not encountered any other enemies.

"Report, there are a large number of widows ahead!" Just as the troops were marching to the outskirts of Shouning County, the scouts in charge of the reconnaissance at the front rushed back and reported on it.

Wang Shun's part is the front army of the team, mainly responsible for detecting the enemy situation and fighting.

Wang Shun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Blow the trumpet to warn!" ”

'Woo-' a dull horn sounded.

This army, which was obviously mostly composed of veterans of many battles, heard the sound of the horn, realized that there was an enemy in front of them, drew their weapons, increased their vigilance, and entered a combat posture.

"Order the whole army, form a military formation, and prepare for battle to meet the enemy!" Hu Zongxian rode on his horse and commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The generals around him received orders and passed on the orders one by one.

Soon, the entire army had formed a tight formation, advancing in the direction of the enemy army step by step, countless horses' hooves trampled on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

As the army approached the enemy, a shout of killing came.

"Kill, rush!"

General Wang Shun was at the forefront of this army, and when he saw the hundreds of "enemy troops" rushing towards him, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

This is not so much the enemy army, but a group of "called Hanako", they are ragged, yellow and thin, looking malnourished, holding homemade wooden guns, spears, and even kitchen knives, rushing towards the Ming army! Moreover, this is still a plain terrain. The best equipped of the group was nothing more than a rusty machete, and none of them were armoured.

Pulled out the Yanling knife from the chief Wang Shun, and said in a deep voice: "Raise the gun!" ”

The soldiers behind them reloaded the gunpowder and raised the guns in unison, but they didn't shoot immediately, they waited for the enemy to rush to the maximum killing distance.

100 meters, 90 meters, 80 meters, 30 meters! At this moment, Wang Shun swung the Yanling knife in his hand behind him violently, and said in a deep voice: "Release!" ”

'Bang bang bang! The fiery bell rang out, a puff of smoke cleared, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, which lasted for a long time.

Most of the Japanese who rushed towards the Ming army's array were killed and wounded in just one shot, and the rest of the people lost the courage to continue the charge and fled in all directions.

"Stay in formation, kill with me!" Wang Shun waved the Yanling knife in his hand, slapped his horse violently, and pursued the scattered Japanese robbers.

The horse's hooves trampled on the chest of a still dead worn, denting his chest, and his moans got stuck in his throat, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood and died completely.

And those scattered Japanese were also caught up by the Ming army and killed one by one, leaving no living in the whole process.

Soon, the follow-up large army also arrived, joined the front army, and formed a military formation.

"Kill, avenge your brothers! Everyone, rush me! ”

"Kill these Ming troops, and reward 1,000 taels of silver!"

Immediately, more and more Japanese invaders charged towards the Ming army, and this time the Japanese invaders were obviously much better equipped than the last time, and the weapons in their hands were no longer wooden guns, spears and kitchen knives, most of them were equipped with long knives and other weapons, and even a few Japanese were wearing armor.

It's just that the commander of this group of Japanese robbers did not know the art of war, and did not let his men form a tight formation to charge towards the Ming army, but rushed towards the Ming army in a scattered and disorderly formation, and there is no doubt that no matter how many there are, they cannot endanger the Ming army.

"Raise the gun, and those who release the gun without an order will be killed!" The general Wang Shun looked at the Japanese who rushed towards him, and commanded in a deep voice.

After receiving Wang Shun's order, the soldiers behind him loaded the gunpowder as quickly as possible and raised the firecracker.

This time was different from the previous ones, in the face of the Japanese who were all over the mountains and fields, rushing towards them like locusts, Rao was experienced in a hundred battles, and a trace of nervousness flashed in their hearts.

"One hundred steps, eighty steps, forty steps...... Wang Shun stared at the Japanese who rushed towards him, but he kept calculating the distance in his heart.

"Twenty steps, put!" Wang Shun waved the Yanling knife violently and said in a deep voice.

Just listen to 'Bang Bang Bang!' The sound came, and countless iron sand shot out from the muzzle of the gun! Most of the Japanese who had already charged to the Ming army fell in an instant.

"Kill me!" Wang Shun immediately slapped his horse and rushed forward in the first place.

Hearing only the sound of 'poof', Wang Shun stabbed the enemy in front of him, and when he pulled out the Yanling knife from his body, the blood splashed out of his face, he wiped it with his hand, and then participated in the fight! Behind him, more and more Ming troops also participated in the fighting.

These Ming soldiers were uniformly dressed in black armor, and when seen from mid-air, a black torrent was intertwined with the Japanese invaders.

……

The remnant sun was like blood, and this fierce battle gradually ended, and finally ended in a complete victory for the Ming army.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, but most of them were of the Wakos, and a disgusting smell of blood filled the air.

"Your Excellency, this group of pirates has been annihilated by our army! According to the reports of the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield, our army annihilated at least more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers in this battle, and our army suffered less than 100 casualties! Qi Jiguang reported to Hu Zongxian, who was riding on a war horse.

"Well, register those fallen soldiers on the roster, so that they can be buried!" After listening to Qi Jiguang's report, Hu Zongxian sighed and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the last general will order this matter." After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he immediately called his own soldiers and ordered the matter to continue.

"It's Shouning County in front, right?" Hu Zongxian turned to Qi Jiguang and asked.

"Your Excellency Governor, there is Shouning County in front!" Qi Jiguang responded after reading the map.

"Order the whole army, after the corpse is collected, enter Shouning County!"

"Yes!"
