Chapter 127: Hudao Victory

Leng Yuhu took advantage of the victory to chase and kill. It turned out that the officers and soldiers were chasing and killing a group of pirates, and they didn't want a few pirates to come out of the mountain, standing on the mountain, condescendingly, and shooting indiscriminately, because of the suddenness, seven soldiers were shot dead on the spot. When the soldiers saw that there were a lot of people who had died in this attack, they panicked, turned around and ran, and ran to the water gate in one breath, and then stopped.

Leng Yuhu saw that the lone army was going deeper, and he was afraid of being ambushed, so he had to retreat.

In this field encounter, it took nearly half an hour to kill four pirates, kill and wound five pirates, kill five pirates, kill more than 10 Japanese pirates, and kill 18 officers and soldiers and wound 22 others. On Leng Yuhu's side, Yin Qingli was injured, Huang Wanli was slightly injured, and two of his brothers were seriously injured.

General Qi arranged for his soldiers, held the Water Gate, and was busy saving the dead and helping the wounded, and the truce lasted for two days.

On the third day, General Qi organized a team of more than 100 people, led by the chief and deputy commander, and set off towards the island. Leng Yuhu and others rescued along the road.

Along the way, there was no enemy blockade.

Straight to the island, but there is a continuous hill, there was originally a gap, there is a path in the middle leading to the cottage inside, now, has been the "little dragon king" Xu Haijiao with a boulder blocked the intersection. The trees on the mountain had been cut down, fortifications had been built on the undulating ridges, and nearly 200 pirates and nearly 100 pirates all stood behind the battlements, resisting the attack of the Ming army with all their might.

This level is the key to the attack and defense of the two sides, each other fought here for five days, each other won and lost, but the Ming army did not attack, and many corpses lay on the position.

After receiving the news from General Qi, the imperial court issued two more holy decrees in succession, severely urging Governor Hu to suppress the Japanese. Governor Hu was helpless, and organized more than 50 soldiers to hurry up.

On Huludao, the battle was fierce, the two sides fought for five days, the position changed hands several times, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the Ming army still did not attack.

At this time, news came from the big ship, saying that a large ship had been found in the sea east of Huludao, and it was suspected that it was the receiving ship of the Japanese invaders. General Qi hurriedly urged his officers and men to attack bravely, hoping to quickly capture the pass and end the battle on the island before the enemy could respond.

On the eleventh day, the Ming army moved all the boulders along the way, piling them up like a mountain. The pirates stood behind the battlements, looking at the unknown reason, and let the Ming army carry the stones and pile them up for two days, piling them up higher than the battlements on the position.

On the third day, Yang Xiaoxia stood on the stone mountain and put a series of arrows, and for a while the arrows were like flying locusts, and the pirates hid behind the battlements and did not dare to raise their heads. Ao Han and Danmei stood on the stone mountain, picked up the boulder and threw it at each other, and the stones flew all over the sky for a while. At this time, the pirates understood what the pile of mountains meant, but it was too late, and more than a dozen pirates were killed by the boulder on the spot, and more than 20 were injured. In the blink of an eye, Ao Han Danmei threw all the boulders of a mountain, and it rained all over the sky. General Qi personally commanded, the Ming army stepped on the stone and rushed up the mountain, the pirates and the pirates could not resist, they fled down the mountain one after another, and the Ming army captured the mountain.

Looking down from the hill, dozens of houses are scattered on the flat domain, and there is no danger to defend.

The officers and men shouted, and more than 100 people rushed down the mountain together, like a group of fierce tigers, and their momentum was unstoppable. General Qi led a hundred soldiers to rush to the pirates together. The pirates and the pirates knew how powerful they were, and they fled in fear like lost dogs. If the Ming army catches up with one, it will result in their lives with one sword, and if they catch up with two, they will also take their lives with two knives. The escaped Japanese robbers were also caught up by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and killed more than a dozen of them in one moment.

The pirates are killing less and less, and the Ming army is killing more and more courageously, among the dozens of houses, go around to actively pursue pirates, find one, without saying a word, raise a knife, the pirates at the house are killed, and the officers and soldiers run to the hillside and dense forests to chase and suppress.

In the end, Xu Haijiao ran to the cliff with less than thirty pirates, and his gang of more than 200 people now had nearly thirty left. There were originally more than 100 Japanese robbers, but now there are only a dozen, and the four masters such as Changchun under the tree have also run here, rendezvous with the pirates, and cowered on the small cliff, behind the cliff is the abyss. The Ming army had already rushed up the cliff with victory.

The pirates were all wounded and panicked, and the Ming army stepped forward bravely and killed more than 20 pirates and pirates. The remaining pirates and pirates refused to surrender and jumped off the cliff. The Ming army ran up the cliff and looked down, these robbers and the Japanese were not heroes, jumping off the cliff, but climbing the rope to the bottom of the cliff, jumping into the sea, struggling to swim into the distance, where the sea and the sky are connected, there is a big ship coming to this side.

The Ming army was completely victorious, and there was no need for command, and a large group of soldiers automatically rushed into the cottage, going door to door to search for the remnants of the enemy, and never let go of a single person. But the pirates and the pirates escaped so cleanly that they didn't leave a tael of silver, not even a single needle or thread. Those beautiful women and women who were robbed by robbers did not see a single figure. These warriors who won the battle stood on the ground one by one, so angry that they stomped their feet and scolded their mothers, thousands of pirates, thousands of pirates, and thousands of widows, and scolded their ancestors for eighteen generations.

There were only piles of grain left in the cottage, piled up, enough to eat for half a year, and it was estimated that the pirates did not expect to be defeated so quickly. The soldiers were about to burn the grain, and General Qi came to the cottage and ordered the soldiers to carry all the grain back to the big ship. With an order, the cottage was burned, and for a while, the flames soared into the sky.

All the officers and men returned to the big ship and set sail back.

Back on the coast, Governor Hu Shangcao had already received the news that he had left Hangzhou a day in advance and came to the seashore to meet the victorious army.

This battle, which lasted more than 20 days, killed 181 pirates and 89 pirates, and drove them out of Huludao, achieving brilliant results. The Ming army was killed more than 140 people and wounded more than 100.

This battle of Huludao was a battle in which the Ming army took the initiative to attack, and it was the biggest victory since the anti-Japanese war.

Governor Hu was very happy, looked up to the sky and laughed, holding General Qi with his left hand and Leng Yuhu with his right hand, and said non-stoply: "Two, hard work." Your victory in the battle of Huludao this time is the blessing of the imperial court and the blessing of the people of Jiangnan! You will go down in history and are legendary heroes!"

When he entered Hangzhou, Governor Hu Shangcao entertained meritorious people, and there were five or six tables of banquets in the courtyard of the Governor's Palace. The heroes took their seats in thanks, raised their glasses and drank freely, and their faces were full of color.

On the second day, Xu Wentao wrote a list of meritorious people, and Governor Hu sealed the chapter and quickly handed it to the imperial court. In this battle of Huludao, the heroes of the rivers and lakes made great contributions, and Governor Hu incorporated them into the army, hid their real names, and reported to the court under pseudonyms. In the past few days, Governor Hu has been busy arguing about meritorious deeds, and everyone from generals to ordinary soldiers has been rewarded.

The heroes also returned to the residence of the two gardens in joy.

Leng Yuhu and the others returned to Huancui Garden, Zhao Yu had already greeted him, and the little deer raised by Song Wang Moth also jumped out when he heard the sound, and kept rubbing Song Wang Moth's dress with its head, Song Wang Moth stroked the top of its head with his hand, and the little farewell reunion, people and deer were both overjoyed.

On this day's leisure, Leng Yuhu and others went to the West Lake to play. Walk to the West Lake, walk along the north road of the lake to the west, and walk slowly all the way. Suddenly, I saw two people running like flying, and when I saw Leng Yuhu and the others, I slowed down.

The man asked, "You're also going to compete with swords, aren't you?"

"Than what sword?"

"You don't know yet, do you?"

"We just arrived at West Lake, and I really don't know. ”

The two of them had already stopped running, and said to everyone: "In front of the Yue Temple, someone is setting up a ring to compete with swords, and if you defeat him, he will be your servant for a year, and if you are defeated by him, he will only need a few pennies as the food for the day." We have been defeated by him, and we are ready to go into the city, and then we will call for a sword fight. Go quickly, and don't let anyone else get ahead of you. ”

The two of them were afraid that these people would rob them of the first, and they had already run away like flies.

Here, Leng Yuhu and others said: "It's okay to go and see if you have nothing to do." ”
