Chapter 290: The End of the Wakos
As night fell, a military camp in the west of Seoul.
There was silence in the camp, and all the Japanese soldiers, having heard the order to sleep, returned to their tents with heavy steps, and then lay down in their positions.
The sight of the day had a great impact on their hearts and kept them awake for a long time.
It's April, and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
If it weren't for this war, they would have been invited to enjoy the flowers with their families on the island of Japan. Instead of being here, confronting the Ming army, life and death are uncertain.
The night was terrible, and the tent could hear a pin dropping, and from time to time there was a sigh.
......Suddenly, the sound of turning over attracted everyone's attention, and the Japanese soldiers in the tent turned sideways to look at him.
"Shimada-kun, you..."A friend who knew him hurriedly called.
"Shh Shimada hurriedly put his finger to his mouth to boo, and then crept to the tent door, lifted the curtain and looked out.
Outside the tent, the moon was in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled the camp, and several guards walked back and forth under the moonlight.
Shimada looked at it for a moment, then returned to his place, sat down, and began to look down at something.
Seeing this, the rest of the people hurried up to meet them.
"Shimada-kun, you won't be preparing to run away, if you let the chief know, it will be a capital crime."
Shimada bowed to a few people, and said, "Gentlemen, now that our hometown has been occupied by the Ming army, and Seoul is in danger, are you willing to become cannon fodder under these generals."
Even if we win this war, what good can the generals give us? ”
As soon as these words came out, the people in the tent fell silent. Yes, even if they win this war, what benefits will they gain? It's just that the generals are happy and reward some silver taels.
They are all the lowest soldiers, and if the Ming army attacks the city tomorrow, they will die at the head of the city. War is a huge meat grinder for the low-level soldiers.
"How about it, come with me, the Ming army will treat us well." Shimada saw that his companion was moved, and stepped up his attack. "Let's go over first, maybe the Ming army will have a reward, it's too late, but it's ......"
The companion was moved by him and expressed his willingness to go with him, and Shimada was overjoyed, and now he couldn't say that he could still be a small leader.
Just when everyone imagined the beautiful scene on the side of the Ming army, a voice came from the corner: "The guards patrol outside, even if you reach the city wall, there are people guarding the city gate."
I advise you to think less about it. ”
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a sloppy Japanese soldier with a full beard looking at a few people lazily. His words were like a basin of cold water, directly extinguishing the enthusiasm of several people.
Suddenly, the people in the tent lowered their heads and looked dejected.
Shimada was stunned for a long time, walked up to the man, and said, "Mitsui-kun, I know you must have a way."
Please help us.
Please! ”
The sloppy man's name is Taro Mitsui, who is an old fritter in the army, and has followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi for more than ten years, and he is still only a squad leader. However, he has a special skill, that is, he escaped, and he survived hundreds of battles, big and small.
It is precisely because of his many escapes that Toyotomi Hideyoshinian has merit in him, which can be regarded as a merit and demerit, and he is still in the position of squad leader for more than ten years.
Mitsui was happy to do it, according to his words, if he became a general, he would have to spend his brain commanding; To be a small boss, you just need to follow the orders from above.
Mitsui Taro could hear the words of his subordinates, as if he hadn't heard them, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Please!!" Shimada bowed to him again.
The rest of the tent also gathered around Mitsui: "Please, Mitsui-kun!" ”
"Baga, you bastards, you won't let me sleep. If there is anything to talk about in the middle of the night, when the guards change guards, there will be a gap for half an hour. Mitsui muttered dissatisfied.
"Aligado." When Shimada and the others saw him responding, they hurriedly returned to their beds and closed their eyes to recuperate.
"Wang, Wang," there were a few barking dogs from time to time outside the tent, and everyone fell asleep with the barking of dogs.
I don't know how long it took, but gradually the barking of the dog stopped, and Taro Mitsui opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately woke up the surrounding people.
After the people woke up, they immediately gathered around Mitsui, and after scanning the crowd, he advised: "Everything is under my command, and you can't act alone." ”
"Hey!"
Mitsui stepped out of the tent, looked left and right, and when he found that there were no guards, he waved his hand into the tent, and the Japanese soldiers in the tent were overjoyed and crept to the camp behind him.
As soon as they walked not far away, they encountered another group of fleeing Japanese soldiers, and the two teams smiled awkwardly, and then fled according to their original routes.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Mitsui Taro led his men to an overgrown city wall.
"Mitsui-kun, what are you bringing us here for, are you going to get out of here?" Shimada saw that this place was a dead end, and he was puzzled.
Mitsui smiled, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth, and then pushed the weeds away, revealing a hole that only one person could crawl out of.
A dog hole, to be exact.
As soon as he entered Seoul, he habitually circled around the walls of Seoul, and finally found such a good place to escape, and now it happened to come in handy.
"Why are you still stunned, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late." Seeing that everyone was not moving, Mitsui hurriedly urged.
"This ......" everyone looked embarrassed and reluctant.
Mitsui Taro roared: "Yaga, if you want to live, let me get out, otherwise all of them will have to be buried with the generals." ”
After speaking, he took a step down and slowly crawled towards the outside of the hole. Seeing this, Shimada gritted his teeth and followed.
The two of them went out of the city, and suddenly heard a shout from the city: "Down, what are you doing!" ”
As soon as Mitsui Taro heard this, he pulled Shimada and ran away without a trace.
Several people in the city were caught by the Japanese troops in the city, and they were soon treated as deserters and killed on the spot.
"Bang, bang!!" Shimada heard a few firecracks, stopped, and looked towards Seoul again.
"Let's go, don't look at it, it's their life." Mitsui patted him on the head, and then pulled him towards the Ming army station.
Twenty miles away from the Ming army's garrison, Mitsui suddenly sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
"Mitsui-kun, if we insist on it, we will soon arrive at the Ming army station." Shimada tried to help him up, but Mitsui opened it.
"You stupid pig, it's dark now, if we go to the Ming army garrison now, it will be easy for them to be regarded as spies and killed directly on the spot."
"If there's anything, let's talk about it tomorrow after dawn."
After saying that, Mitsui wantonly spread his limbs, lay on the ground and fell asleep.
At dawn the next day, Mitsui woke up from the early morning chill, and he patted Shimada on the side, urging him to continue on his way.
The two walked for about half an hour, and finally saw the camp of the Ming army.
"Take off your clothes and lift them up."
Shimada looked puzzled: "Mitsui-kun, why is this?" ”
"If you don't want to die, take it off for me." Mitsui scolded, his hands kept moving, and he was already naked in a short time.
"Get out of here!" Seeing Shimada squirming, Mitsui roared again, "Oh. Shimada reluctantly complied, and then began to take off his clothes.
After undressing, Mitsui only had a pair of bottoms, then lifted his clothes and walked slowly towards the Ming army camp.
"Hey, why are there two unclothed people over there, walking towards us." When the sergeant from the high place saw this, he immediately asked questions to his companion next to him.
At first, his companions thought he was dazzled, but when he saw it, two people were walking towards them. "You're watching here, I'll go and inform the chief soldier."
After speaking, the soldiers beside him immediately got off the sentry tower and ran towards Deng Zilong's big tent. At this moment, Deng Zilong has finished washing up and is immersed in official business.
Suddenly, a commotion from outside interrupted his thoughts, he frowned, and asked outside, "Why is it so noisy outside, what happened?" ”
Soon, a loud voice replied: "Chief soldier, two Japanese robbers have come to surrender, and they have now arrived in the camp. ”
When Deng Zilong heard this, he got up suddenly, and then rushed out of the tent with an arrow step. Sure enough, two diminutive widows were standing in the crowd shivering, dressed in single clothes.
"Quick, let them put on their clothes and send them to the general's tent."
This is the first batch of people who surrendered, so naturally they must be treated preferentially and not slackened.
Deng Zilong gave an order, and soon someone brought them a set of warm clothes, and gave them two steamed buns, and a bowl of hot soup for the two to eat.
After eating, Mitsui and Shimada were taken to Deng Zilong's big tent.
As soon as he entered the account, Mitsui began to introduce: "The baby sucks wow, Mitsui Taro hisses." ”
The people in the tent were confused, and Deng Zilong immediately asked people to call for a translator, which eliminated the language barrier.
Immediately afterwards, Deng Zilong asked again: "How is the strength of the Japanese in the city, and how much food is there?" ”
Mitsui said a lot to Deng Zilong, and after interpreting and explaining, he learned that there were still 20,000 Japanese soldiers in the city, but they were running out of food and grass.
Because according to the person in front of him, they have changed from one porridge to two thin meals, and the rice grains are becoming less and less.
Moreover, once the defection happens, the next thing is like a flood, and it is specified that it cannot be controlled.
As soon as he thought of this, Deng Zilong was in a good mood, and finally waved his hand, rewarded the two with some food and clothing, and let the two go down.
Mitsui chattered at Deng Zilong again.
After the translator's translation, Deng Zilong finally understood, it turned out that his wife was among these people, no wonder he was so eager to go out of the city.
"Let's reunite them as husband and wife, and I'll be a good person today." Deng Zilong was in a good mood, and agreed to Taro Mitsui's request without thinking about it.
"Aligado, Aligado!!" After Mitsui got the agreement, he bowed to Deng Zilong again and again and thanked him.
