Chapter 120: Fierce Battle
Chapter 120: Fierce Battle
"Run, run, run, those pirates must not know that we have been informed so quickly, we rush over and intercept them, and the great work is just around the corner!" said Senho of the Guard, riding on his horse, and roared in high spirits. As a person who had accumulated merit on the battlefield and had been promoted to become a guard of the Thousand Households, he was overjoyed when he heard the battle, and only when he won the battle could he be easily promoted! He had received news that there were only about 400 pirates ashore, so how could he be the opponent of the troops under his Thousand Households?
He was happy, and the general banner of the hundred households below was equally happy, in peacetime, it was not easy to be promoted to an official after meritorious service, only war could bring them what they wanted. However, the soldiers below were different, some were happy, hoping to be rewarded for their meritorious service, and the other part was timid, for fear of losing their lives. However, in the army, they can only follow the crowd, and they understand the harshness of military law.
The retreating pirates were still discussing how to attack, and their ships were parked far away from Hyakyoso, and they couldn't see them at all, so they didn't know that their ships had been robbed.
Among the pirates was a group of twenty or so pirates who were distinctive, armed with elongated knives, very different from the machetes and ring-headed knives that were popular in Middle-earth, and more than half of them were dressed in armor. These people are the wandering warriors of the Wa Kingdom, and the Ming Dynasty called them Wako. Although these people have joined the pirates, they have become their own forces, especially the leader Inukai Saburo, who has been learning martial arts for ten years with the masters of the Wa Kingdom, and his martial arts are strong, if it weren't for the fact that killing the pirate leader Du Qi would cause turmoil and weaken the strength of the pirates, he would have killed himself as the boss a long time ago.
However, although Inukai Saburo didn't do anything, Du Qi didn't dare to yell at him after seeing his martial arts, and Du Qi didn't dare to transfer the wandering samurai of the Wa Kingdom gathered under him, and he had to discuss with Inukai Saburo every time he went out.
At this time, the pirate leader followed him to discuss sending his samurai to battle. He had seen the skills of these people, much more powerful than the people under him, and they were desperate to fight, if these people had been on the field just now, the guard on the opposite side would have been breached a long time ago. So, he consulted with Inukai Saburo to send his samurai.
"Inu-san, send your men to take the lead. Du Qi said, "Otherwise, we are afraid that we will not be able to break through this guard post in a short time, and if other guard troops come to help, there will be no chance." "This mulberry was learned by Du Qi from the samurai of the Wa Kingdom, and it is said to be an honorific title. However, although he was jealous of Inukai Saburo's martial arts, he often laughed at Inukai Saburo's surname in his heart. It's not that there is no surname in Zhongtu, what Ximen, Nangong, Wei Chi, Wan Qi, etc., but the surname dog is really eye-opening for him!
"Toussaint, it's not okay to take the lead, it's not what they're good at, it's what they're good at. Inukai Saburo said. If he takes the lead, then he must charge against the rain of arrows, and there are more than 20 people under his command, and I am afraid that before he has rushed under the wall, there will be only a few left, how can he do this kind of loss-making business? Anyway, the reinforcements near the guard post will not be able to arrive for a while and a half, and he will have time to delay. And even if reinforcements came and retreated directly to the ship, he would have nothing to lose.
"Otherwise, they are in the middle, following the vanguard, as long as they rush to the wall, they will be able to exert their combat power, and the army on the opposite side will definitely not be able to stop them. Du Qi said.
"Yes. Inukai Saburo thought for a moment and said, "However, the spoils of war will have to be redistributed." My subordinates are very strong, so I want the majority, I take 60%, and you take 40%. ”
"It's impossible for you to take sixty percent, we've already killed and injured dozens of people, so we have to appease them. Du Qi said, "In order to capture the guard as soon as possible, I will give way, I will take six layers, and you will take forty percent." "The dog Sanburo who was discussed before will take 30%, and they will take 70% on their side, and this is because they are attacking the guard, just in case. Who would have thought that as soon as Inukai Saburo saw that his side was frustrated, he immediately opened his mouth and wanted sixty percent. Of course, there are only about 20 people under Inukai Saburo, and it is very generous to take 30%. But who doesn't want more?
"It's not easy for me to explain to my subordinates. Inukai Saburo said, "They are going to fight with their lives, who wants to have a less reward? I must take sixty percent of the spoils! Okay, if not, we will withdraw." Inukai Saburo threatened. Anyway, his subordinates didn't move, and Du Qi's subordinates suffered so many casualties, how could he be willing to retreat like this?
"This ......" Du Qi thought about it again and again, gritted his back molars and said, "I have to discuss it with my brothers." He hated this unfamiliar white-eyed wolf in his heart, if he hadn't taken refuge in himself, he was afraid that he would starve to death at sea, but now he doesn't miss the old love at all!
Du Qi told his brothers what Inuyo Saburo meant, and one by one the pirate leaders made a noise, they had long seen that these Japanese warriors were not pleasing to the eye, and this time they came to attack the guard, and the boss strongly advocated dividing them into three, and they already had opinions in their hearts. Now he is still taking advantage of the fire to rob, and he wants to take sixty percent, but he doesn't know how to write dead words!
Du Qi immediately suppressed the noise of the leaders and said that their current predicament, only if these Japanese warriors joined, they would reduce their casualties and withdraw before the other party's reinforcements arrived.
"Hmph! can't be so cheap. The third child said, "When you return to the island, find an opportunity to catch them all, and spit out what they eat." ”
"Don't talk about this in advance, let's discuss it when we go back to the island. Du Qi said. He also couldn't bear it anymore, and began to think in his heart, it seems that after returning to the island, he seized the opportunity to drug the poison mechanism and secretly destroyed this group of Japanese slaves as soon as possible! Otherwise, if some more people are gathered, they are afraid that they will turn against the guest.
After discussing it, they began to reorganize the formation and attack again. When Li Shucheng arrived with a team of raiding pirate ships, the pirate side had already begun to attack.
The guards had too few bows and arrows to suppress the charge, and soon the pirates rushed under the wall and began to climb it.
The pirates climbed up, stabbing and slashing with swords, guns and swords, and the two sides fought fiercely, but the guard occupied a favorable position, and more than 20 Wudang disciples joined, withstanding the attack of the Japanese warriors among the pirates, and the two sides were in such a stalemate.
When there is war, there are deaths, and there are people on both sides who are injured and killed. Li Shucheng did not make a move, but started to treat the injured officers and soldiers of the guard.
After two quarters of an hour of fighting, even if the Japanese samurai joined, they did not break through the defense, and seeing that their morale dropped, the pirates had to withdraw their troops.
"Why is this guard so strong?" said one of the pirate leaders, "based on past experience, the guards are not that strong, are they?"
"It's not just guards. Du Qi looked at the figures on the wall and said, "Some of them have no armor, and they are not wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and they are not using long knives in the army, but long swords." ”
"That's good!" Inukai Saburo said as he walked over, "These must be people from some sect, and they have blocked the attack of my samurai." ”
"It seems that this place is difficult to attack, what should we do? Do we want to retreat?" asked Liu Eighteen, the second pirate boss.
"Retreat?" all the leaders began to think in their hearts, according to the battle just now, the opponent's combat power is very strong, even if they can break through, then their side will be greatly injured, and the gains outweigh the losses!
"Inu-san, what do you think?" Du Qi looked at Inu-Sanburo and asked.
"We were so big just now, I didn't know that the other party was so powerful. However, even if there were sect disciples involved, there would definitely not be many of them. "We besiege them on both sides and spread their forces so that they don't have enough forces to defend them, and we can easily break through." ”
"What Inu-sang said is great!" Liu Shibai heard it and said happily, "Isn't it better to divide a few more ways, it can divide the other party more and break it down." Otherwise, our side will be divided into two lines, attacking the front and the north, and Inu-san will lead your men to attack the south, and we will take this guard in one fell swoop. ”
"This ...... I have too few men to attack alone. Inukai Saburo said, "Unless you divide a hundred men into us and attack the south." ”
"A hundred will definitely not work, there are many casualties at the door of the house, so that the other two sides will be weak. Sixty-eight said.
"Sixty, set out sixty to fight with you against the south. Du Qi thought for a while and said, "But you must do your best, if we can't break through this time, we can only retreat." At this time, he put aside the mutual calculations in his heart for the time being, and only by taking this guard will their strength be further strengthened.
Inukai Saburo got Du Qi's words, his heart was happy, and he left in a hurry. Just now, he was divided into six or four, and his subordinates did not succeed, and now Du Qi did not react, and broke through the guard, so he had to come according to the previous agreement, and he stood on a big advantage, how could he be unhappy!
The pirates divided their forces and it was indeed difficult to deal with, and within half an hour of the battle, the defense line began to be precarious, and could be broken through at any time. At this time, Li Shucheng didn't care about treating the wounded, and there were no wounded to treat, and everyone who could pick up arms got up and went up to the wall.
Seeing that the situation in the south was grim, Li Shucheng hurried over, picked up a spear on the way, and stabbed it after arriving to stabilize the battle line. And the pirates among the pirates saw that Li Shucheng was strong, so they shrank in the pirate group and did not take the lead.
The battle is raging, and the reinforcements of the Thousand Households Office have finally arrived, and the pirates naturally have spies, and they quickly retreat after getting the news.
The reinforcements chased all the way, chased and fled, and soon came to the place where the pirates parked their ships, and the pirates were completely dumbfounded, and none of the ships they parked here were gone!
Chinohe thought that the pirates had fled to the beach and wanted to get on the boat and escape, so he ordered his soldiers to chase after him, and when he came to the beach, he saw that there was not a single ship, and the pirates were surrounded on the beach, laughing happily.
"Surrender and die!" Chiho shouted after laughing.
