Zhejiang, Jingning.

The army led by Hu Zongxian finally arrived at Jingning County after several days and nights of non-stop travel.

Soon, after Hu Zongxian revealed his identity, he soon succeeded in obtaining the help of the local government, and he was able to roughly count the places where there might be hidden pirates.

According to the information provided by the government, the largest number of hidden pirates is Emu Mountain, there is a camp on the mountain, which was originally the largest local bandit gang, the gathering place of the evil wolf gang, who knows that later by those pigeons occupy the magpie's nest, the original evil wolf gang also died in this battle.

The remaining bandits, seeing that they were invincible, simply negotiated peace with those would-be bandits, and finally the two sides shook hands and made peace, and the remaining members of the original Evil Wolf Gang united with those would-be bandits, becoming the most powerful force around Jingning.

The local government is weak and unable to compete with it at all, so it can only barely protect Jingning County so that it will not be ravaged by the Japanese invaders, and as for the villages around the county seat, they are helpless.

Immediately afterwards, after resting for a day in the county seat, the 2,000-strong army immediately embarked on the road of suppressing the Japanese.

"Your Excellency the Governor, according to the report of the scout in charge of investigating the news, there is a village not far away, and there are suspected Japanese robbers in the village!"

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Hu Zongxian withdrew his gaze and immediately ordered.

"Order the whole army, form a military formation, and march towards the village!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

Soon, Hu Zongxian's orders were passed on through countless generals, and the Ming troops under Hu Zongxian's command were all veterans of a hundred battles, so they naturally knew what to do.

Therefore, the army of 2,000 soon formed a tight formation and marched in the direction of the village.

The part of the Japanese led by Makoto Tsunoda also learned from the Ming army and put up a formation.

It's just that the formation they put out looks chaotic, not only does not improve the combat effectiveness in the slightest, but also drags it down, Hu Zongxian saw this situation, shook his head imperceptibly, and said secretly in his heart: "This group of widows is really embarrassing!" ”

At this moment, Qi Jiguang, who had been silent, spoke, only to see him pointing to the Emu Mountain in the distance, and then said: "Look, Lord Governor, the mountains here are high and dense, and they are extremely suitable for ambushes, maybe we have been discovered by those widows!" ”

As soon as Qi Jiguang's words fell, Yu Dayou on the side also followed closely and said, "Yes, Lord Governor, let's be careful to prevent those robbers from setting up ambushes." ”

When Hu Zongxian heard this, he smiled and immediately spoke.

"Don't worry, this official knows in his heart, just with these widows, they are far from our opponents!"

"We just need to fight steadily, and then set up the Furlong cannon to bombard the first round, anyway, we brought so many shells this time, and we don't bother to bring them back, so it's better to use them all here!"

Seeing that Hu Zongxian was confident, most of the doubts in their hearts were dispelled, and in this way, the army continued to move forward.

Wang Shun, as usual, led the front army of the team, and after following Hu Zongxian last time to quell the rebellion in Jiangxi, Wang Shun was successfully promoted to general by virtue of the accumulated credit.

Maybe this partial general is nothing to others, but it is very meaningful to Wang Shun, because he has earned it step by step in countless battles of blood and fire.

After observing the situation in the village close at hand, Wang Shun immediately ordered: "These widows don't have any armor on them, so they will rush directly to deal with them later, by the way, they must stay alive!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

In this way, the front army led by Wang Shun, totaling more than 300 people, pulled out the long knives at their waists and quietly approached the village.

……

At this moment, the village is like a hellish scene.

There were countless corpses lying on the ground, both men and women, all piled up at random, the blood flowing from under their bodies had long since dried up, and there was a slimy feeling when they stepped on it.

The air was filled with the smell of blood and the smell of charred corpses, and from time to time there was a cry that seemed to be out of nowhere.

The number of pirates in the village is about forty or fifty, most of them are members of the original Evil Wolf Gang, and only a few are real pirates.

At this moment, the group of pirates was gathering together and loudly discussing the ownership of the spoils of war.

I saw a widow with a scar on his face and one eye blind, spat on the ground and scolded.

"Phew, these poor ghosts, it's only been a long time to do this bit of belongings!"

"If they couldn't afford to pay the food, I wouldn't bother to kill them, uncle!"

As soon as the words of this widow fell, someone on the side quickly responded.

"Bah, when I just played with women, you were the most energetic, and now you still have the face to say ......"

The words fell, and only a burst of laughter was heard.

The widow who had a scar on his face and was blind in one eye may have a little uneasiness on his face, so he immediately changed the topic: "What are the women in the village, if the women in Jingning County are strong enough, those rich daughters, tsk......t"

"It would be good if we could break into Jingning County, and then we ......"

"No need to be then, it's your time to die!"

An abrupt voice suddenly reached the ears of the group of pirates in front of them, and when they saw this, they suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly clenched the weapons in their hands, put on a fighting posture, looked around quite vigilantly, and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Soon, Wang Shun and the Ming army led by him appeared in front of this group of Japanese robbers and surrounded them.

Seeing this, the former widow who had a scar on his face and was blind in one eye couldn't help but be shocked and said, "How can there be officials and soldiers here!" ”

After Wang Shun saw the tragic situation in the village, the expression on his face suddenly became gloomy, and he swung the Yanling knife in his hand hard, and said in a deep voice: "Kill!" ”

Soon, the Ming army under Wang Shun pounced on him like a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep.

The battle ended quickly, how could these forty or fifty Japanese robbers be the elite opponents of the Ming army in front of them, who had gone through countless battles, had rich combat experience, and were wearing armor, and most of them were quickly killed, but the Ming army did not suffer any casualties.

If it weren't for Wang Shun's previous instruction to keep a few alive, none of the people in front of him would have survived.

Seeing that most of their companions had been slashed and killed, the remaining would-be wouldn't have the courage to continue fighting, so they threw aside their weapons and kept kowtowing to the ground, trying to find a way out for themselves in this most humble way.

Among them, there is also a Japanese from Japan, at this moment, he is kneeling on the ground, constantly kowtowing, saying something.

"Damn, what kind of bird language are you talking about!"

Wang Shun was impatient, and swung the Yanling knife in his hand hard, and in an instant, he saw a dead human head rolling to the ground.

After wiping the blood-stained Yanling knife in his hand on the pile of corpses on the ground, Wang Shun turned his gaze to the remaining widows and spoke.

"Now I will tell General Ben what happened from beginning to end, maybe General Ben is in a good mood and can let you live!"

Seeing that there was a chance to live, out of the instinct of survival, those would-be robbers began to recount in detail what had happened, as well as some of the situations on Mount Eki.

After listening to their narration, Wang Shun nodded, then waved his hand rather casually and commanded.

"Kill them all, they're worthless!"

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as the words fell, a long knife with a blood-stained handle stabbed the remaining few widows, and the blood flowed out along the wound.

Before dying, one of the would-be robbers held on to his last breath and said with wide eyes.

"You...... You don't talk about credit! ”

When Wang Shun heard this, he immediately went up to make up for it, and when he was completely dead, he spat on his body with disgust.

"Damn, there's a lot of nonsense, what kind of credit do you have to talk about with you gangsters?"
