The news that the scouts in the south, east and west directions had found no trace of the Japanese invaders within a ten-mile radius quickly spread throughout the Cherry Orchard Ming army.
“Hahaha, the Japanese pirates couldn’t have run away in fear when they heard that we were blocking the attack in front of the Cherry Orchard, right?!”
“Well, I reckon that this group of Japanese pirates in Shangyu is 80% scared away, otherwise they should have come a long time ago, Jiangning is just how far away from Cherry Orchard this is. However, it is also possible that they heard that we are waiting here, and this group of Japanese pirates went around to attack Yingtian in other directions.”
“Don’t mention it, it’s too bad, one Japanese pirate is worth two hundred taels of silver. My marriage depends on this battle.”
The group of Ming troops in front of the Cherry Orchard couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but at the same time, they felt some pity!Knowing that every single Japanese was walking around with two hundred taels of silver, whether they ran away in fear or took a detour, they all felt quite unfortunate.
Of course, on the whole it was still a sigh of relief that accounted for more emotions. Bijie silver again, also have to have life to spend is. Silver is gone can earn again, and life is only one, life is gone can be game over.
You have to know that this group of Japanese invaders are all killers who kill without blinking an eye!Kill a Japanese, I am afraid to lose two or three brothers, who do not dare to guarantee that they are not a loss, who also do not want other men to sleep with their wives, beat their own children, spend their own pension, funeral expenses. So it’s best if this battle can be avoided.
Now that the Japanese have disappeared, this is the best result, without the direct threat of the Japanese, everyone relaxed.
The Ming troops who had been taking turns to eat were even more relaxed, not only did they take off their shoes and bake their feet, but many others took off their heavy and cold armour, and sat paralyzed on the edge of the fire, while baking the fire to keep warm, and while eating the cakes and drinking the broth, a mouthful of cake and a mouthful of broth went down, and the pores of their body stretched, and they were so comfortable that they were humming: “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
“Hehehe, you don’t say, this armoured stomach ah, all the body is relieved, not only relaxed, but also warm.”
“Tsk, this broth can be really fragrant ah, hullo hullo ……The cooking cakes that have absorbed all the grease are also delicious and tight.”
The Ming army on rotation rest is so comfortable, the envy and jealousy value of the Ming army on rotation is directly bursting, and they are not a thousand anymore.
Originally there was an imminent threat from the Japanese invaders, under the high pressure of the generals, the rotating Ming army could still do the hard work and hold their positions, but now there is no trace of the Japanese invaders in a ten-mile radius, and the Japanese invaders don’t know if they have run away or made a detour, and there is no threat of the Japanese invaders, and they are beginning to be unbalanced in their hearts, all of us are soldiers, so why do you comfortably eat your meat on the roasting fire here, and we have to be freezing and starving ah?!
This is not fair!
So, the rotation of the Ming army quit, began to appear to give up, grinding phenomenon, and even some of the bold simply learn the rotation of the Ming army, a butt paralysis down, off the armour night, mixed in the rotation of the Ming army in the roast fire to eat.
Because there is no trace of Japanese invaders in a ten-mile radius, the generals are also lax, simply turn a blind eye to this.
Under the indulgence of the generals, the rotating Ming army became more and more bold, and gradually mixed with the rotating Ming army. In the military formation can still do armed guard Ming army, only a few, the degree of precious is no less than a phoenix feather.
“Such laxity, what kind of behaviour, if the Japanese attack, how to deal with it?!Also please Zhang lord order all levels of generals and colonels to strictly control military discipline, at the same time, please once again to the south, west, east three directions to send out scouts to explore, this time the number of scouts to expand double, the scope of exploration to expand another five miles.”
Hu Zongxian looked at the slack Ming army and could not help but frown, asking Lord Zhang to control the military discipline and send more scouts.
Although Lord Zhang felt that Hu Zongxian was making a big deal out of it, but who let him be the imperial historian, he still smiled bitterly and answered, and the arrangements were made at all levels.
All levels of generals and colonels down to rectify the military discipline, caused a drumming, cursing constantly, officers and soldiers rebellious mentality is very heavy, the situation is a little out of control. However, under the high pressure of the generals and colonels at all levels, the situation of military discipline improved a lot.
After half an hour, three teams of scouts returned one after another, reporting that there were no traces of Japanese invaders within a 15-mile radius.
It was as if the Japanese invaders had evaporated.
Hu Zongxian couldn’t help but frown, unfolding a map of Yingtian’s surroundings and pondering hard.
When he heard that there was no sign of Japanese invaders within a radius of fifteen miles, the Ming army, which was controlled by high pressure, lost control of its military discipline once again.
There are no Japanese pirates within a radius of fifteen miles!What’s the point of being on guard!
Military schools at all levels of high pressure can not control the situation, the Ming army completely relaxed, have begun to let themselves go, have taken off their armour to roast the fire, there are some Ming army unloading the arrow bag, played the game of throwing arrows, and even some of the Ming army to play the game of payoffs, the atmosphere was relaxed and happy up.
Of course, all levels of military schools are also lax, turn a blind eye to this, there are even generals involved in throwing arrows.
The Ming army was completely relieved.
At this time, the road came up seven or eight people fleeing, dressed in rags, clothes and traces of being burned by the fire, see the Ming army around the book fire to eat and drink, is really hungry, boldly walked up to the front, to the Ming army to beg for food and drink, “military, military, do good, give a mouth to eat, we have not eaten a mouthful of rice from the morning until now, are starving to death. ”
“Roll roll roll, this bit of cake is not enough for me to eat by myself.”Someone from the Ming army waved his hand in disgust and drove them away.
“Forget it, look at them is suffering, everyone is not easy, everyone has a hard time, come here, I still have half a cake, you make do and eat it.”Someone else also threw half a cake in his hand over.
“I also have half a piece here, reward you all.”A few more Ming soldiers threw the rest of the cakes over.
“Thank you, Master Army, thank you, Master Army.”After thanking them, the fleeing people scrambled for the cakes like vicious dogs.
Seeing them scrambling for the cakes like dogs, quite a few Ming soldiers came forward to watch and laughed.
“What’s going on up front?” Hu Zong Wan took his eyes off the map and asked with a frown.
“Back to my lord, there are seven or eight people fleeing from Jiangning begging for food.”The personal soldiers under his command returned.
“Give them food and send them away before they get in the way.”Hu Zongxian frowned.
“Yes. Subject will go and drive them away now.”The subordinate’s own soldiers answered.
“Wait.”The pro-soldier had just turned around when Hu Zongxian called out to him again. ”
“What else does Your Excellency command?”The underling’s personal soldier asked.
“Since they fled from Jiangning, ask them if they saw any Japanese pirates along the way?”Hu Zongxian commanded.
“As ordered.”The personal soldiers under his command answered and went.
Soon, the personal soldier went to the front, casually grabbed a few cakes from the basin, and called out to a few fleeing people, “Hey, talking about you guys, come here, master asked you a question, these cakes will reward you. ”
“Master Jun, feel free to ask.”The fleeing people’s eyes looked straight at the cakes.
“You fled from Jiangning, on this journey, have you seen the Japanese or heard the news of the Japanese?”The pro-soldier said between them.
“No, didn’t see any Japanese invaders at all.”
“The dog said the Japanese invaders in our Jiangning kill and set fire to, we hid in the courtyard well, wait for no movement outside we dare to climb out of the well, as soon as we came out to see a sea of fire, we escaped from the burning courtyard, all the way to this escape, this way never saw the Japanese invaders at all.”
“There were no Japanese invaders along the way, if there had been, we would still be alive.”
The fleeing people said.
Hearing this, the Ming army was even more relaxed and let themselves go even more.
