At this time, under the starlight and moonlight, this seaside Gu Yun City was extremely quiet, only a few points of fire on the head of the city were swimming back and forth, obviously the people who were on duty to guard the city at night, and they didn't see the tense atmosphere before the big war at all, but they didn't seem to know that their own 4,000-strong "Pingyu Coalition Army" had already arrived under the city and would attack at any time.

Xie Yixiang and his companion of more than a dozen horsemen watched from afar in the middle of the night, and within a moment, the two lieutenants under his command, Chen and Zhu, had seen the terrain clearly, and each of them simply recorded it on their horses. Xie Yixiang immediately asked the commander of the rebel army, "White-armored Angry Horse" Sun Xin, to refuse General Sun's advice, and asked: "I remember that the general once said that the Japanese soldiers stationed in this Guyun City should not be underestimated, which is very different from what we saw before, I don't know what to say about this?"

Hearing Xie Yixiang's question, General Sun's answer was simple, and he said lightly: "Because they are the real Dongying Wokou." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Yixiang suddenly looked solemn. You must know that when they arrived in Taizhou Mansion this time, 4,000 men and horses fought for more than 600 miles, and after more than 30 battles along the way, a total of more than a dozen Japanese forces were eliminated, but most of these so-called "Japanese Invaders" were actually not worthy of the name, at best they were indiscriminate, and eight or nine out of ten of them were Han Chinese.

It turns out that the Japanese who are making trouble in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not exactly the "ronins" and "warriors" who came from Dongying across the sea, but more of them are the Han people themselves who burn, kill and loot in the name of "Japanese robbers". In this way, not only can you use the momentum and prestige of the Japanese Kou, but also push all the crimes on the heads of the Dongying people. If we trace back to the source, it can be roughly classified into three types: one is that a very small number of ferocious and vicious bandits in the green forest took advantage of the fire to rob and fish in troubled waters; second, most of the remnants of Li Jiusi, who used to compete with this dynasty for the world, absconded to several islands near the East China Sea, and now they have also come out to make trouble; third, they are ordinary people in the territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because their homes were completely destroyed and their wives were separated in this rebellion, they simply turned into one of the Japanese robbers who plundered others.

Therefore, almost all of the dozen or so Japanese forces that were exterminated along the way belonged to the above three categories, and once they encountered their own regular official army, they could be said to be vulnerable; later, the more they fought, the more chilled they became, and it became a battle and massacre between Han and Han people. Although there are also a lot of real Dongying Wokou, but only a very small few, occasionally there are one or two Dongying Ronin and samurai armed with Japanese swords, when they encounter Xie Yixiang's "Melting Fragrance Recipe", it is difficult to defeat her three moves and two styles under the chaos, and they are all killed on the spot.

At this time, I heard that the Japanese who were stationed in this Guyun City were finally genuine Dongying people, and Xie Yixiang suddenly came to his senses. In any case, the root cause of this rebellion is still in these Dongying people, and nothing can be said to let go of these foreign bandits who invaded the territory of the Central Plains.

However, although Xie Yixiang was born in a general's family and had read some military books to a greater or lesser extent, he had no battlefield experience after all, and he knew nothing about the Japanese in between. At that moment, she asked General Sun on the side for advice and asked Gu Yuncheng about the details of these widows.

General Sun groaned slightly, and then immediately explained: "Sun was stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang with King Heng, and he had been fighting with the Dongying Japanese Invaders for many years. One group is the ronin who arrived in the Central Plains as early as the previous dynasty, claiming to be the descendants of the 'Koga Ninjutsu', and using some indiscriminate methods, mostly stealing and looting for a living; the other group is the Dongying samurai who came to the Central Plains not long ago more than ten years ago, claiming to be the disciples of the 'Nakajo One Knife Stream', all of whom use the Japanese sword as a weapon and pursue a single sword to kill the enemy; as for the last group, it is the Japanese who originally wandered in Shandong, what is it? The 'art of war' school, until last year, when King Heng was stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, dared to take advantage of the emptiness of coastal defense to come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

After saying that, General Sun couldn't help but look at the seaside Gu Yun City in the distance, and said: "According to the information obtained by our army, this Gu Yun City should be the shareholder of 'Zhongtiao Yidaoliu', Yingwei Kou, a total of five or six hundred people, almost all of whom are good hands. The leader of the group is named 'Niwa Kazuha', who has always regarded himself as the 'Sword Saint' of Dongying, and it is said that his sword skills are unparalleled in the world, and no one has ever been able to take his move alive, and I don't know whether it is true or false. So—"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment before concluding in a deep voice: "So this attack on Gu Yuncheng is actually our first confrontation with the Dongying Wokou, and we must not take it lightly. It's not that Sun is alarmist, what is the real combat power of the Dongying Wakos, I'm afraid that Miss Xie San doesn't know much about it, otherwise, with the talent of King Heng, and the ability of the 'Hanging Sky General' Guzhenhai and the 'Desert Wind' Salihe, how can the Wako Rebellion have survived to this day?"

Xie Yixiang secretly pondered General Sun's words, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Although the Japanese are brave, but with the 'White Armor Angry Horse' in charge, and there are four thousand elite soldiers under his command, it should not be difficult to capture and kill these five or six hundred Dongying people in the city." Since General Sun knew a lot about these Japanese invaders, the little girl's two thousand military horses were used as an auxiliary and obeyed General Sun's arrangement. ”

When General Sun heard this, he suddenly chuckled and said lightly: "Since the words have come to this, there is something to decide with Miss Xie San." It is said that since the two coalition armies of our two countries, the more than 30 battles along the way, large and small, have all been fought by our soldiers and bloody, and it is inevitable that their vitality has been greatly damaged by now, but the 2,000 military horses under the command of Miss Xie San have been waiting for their work and enjoying their success, and almost no damage has been lost. Therefore, in the battle of Gu Yuncheng tomorrow, in the face of these real Dongying Wokou in the city, in order to be foolproof, Miss Xie San's military horse has to be the main force and take the lead in the battle. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Yixiang was stunned for a moment. You must know that the current 4,000-strong "Pingkou Coalition Army" is composed of half of the men and horses from the imperial court and King Heng, which can only be regarded as temporary cooperation, so the most important thing is how to dispatch the men and horses of both sides.

Just like when facing the enemy in battle, just as General Sun said, the front army fought a bloody battle, and naturally there were many casualties, and the rear army was suspected of sitting back and enjoying its success when it cleared the battlefield. It is also like a sergeant who sets up an ambush to annihilate the enemy and lures the enemy into the urn is undoubtedly thankless, and even has to worry about his life; but a sergeant who sets up an ambush in the rear to attack can easily kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, in a battle, even if it is a victory, there is a distinction between the advantages and disadvantages of the duties undertaken by each team and each sergeant; if we use vulgar words and thoughts, it is the difference between "gnawing bones" and "eating meat". Even if it is just an army and a commander, it is not easy to balance the sergeants under his command who should "gnaw bones" and who should "eat meat", so as to be fair and just, and convince all the soldiers and soldiers, not to mention this coalition army composed of the incompatible imperial court military horses and the Hengwang rebels?

In this regard, Yan Sidao and De Yizi, who were hidden behind the scenes, were even more at odds with each other, and Xie Yixiang, who had already passed the word in the middle, argued back and forth several times, in the final analysis, he wanted to let his side's two thousand military horses "eat meat", but handed over the drudgery of "gnawing bones" to the other party, and no one refused to give in. It wasn't until Xie Yixiang pulled out the chaos on the spot and directly chose to intimidate by force that he was forced to give in to Yan Sidao, and in more than 30 battles large and small along the way, the 2,000 rebels under General Sun "gnawed their bones".

However, now that he heard General Sun's words, Xie Yixiang finally came to his senses and secretly scolded Yan Sidao for his cunning. It is precisely because of the Japanese robbers encountered along the way that they are actually indiscriminate and indiscriminate, so Yan Sidao was willing to give in and swallow his anger and chose the drudgery of "gnawing bones".

Now that he has encountered the real Dongying Japanese in Gu Yuncheng, Yan Sidao can logically propose a swap and throw the drudgery of "gnawing bones" to his side, so that the two thousand rebels under General Sun can also enjoy the beauty of "eating meat".
