Winter days are short, time is not slow, every fire wobbling sun thin west mountain, Hu Zongxian sent Ce four waves of scouts also cloaked in the afterglow of the setting sun returned, brought the latest reconnaissance situation.
No Japanese, no Japanese, still no Japanese!
The Ming army had not been surprised by this for a long time.
Now, in front of the cherry orchard, it was like a fire party, on the bonfire were roasted groundnuts from Xifan, chickens, ducks and geese that “lost their way” to the cherry orchard, as well as miscellaneous dried food, roasted crispy and oil dripping grease.
Long ago took off the armour curfew, unloaded the blade of the Ming army, sitting by the campfire, eat the corners of the mouth nourishing oil.
This is not like a war, but like a picnic.
In the Ming army eat and drink at the same time, in front of the road and came a wave of ten people fleeing the people, approached and stood on the side of the road, one and a timid and fearful and bashful to look at the roast fire and eat meat of the Ming army.
Their words and behaviour fully demonstrated that they were starving and cold, wanting to beg for food and drink, but also afraid of the Ming army.
“Hey, you guys come here, master has something to ask you.”A few Ming soldiers took a few cakes and stretched out their hands to call them over.
“Master Army, what do you want to ask.”The refugees walked over and gulped as they looked at the cakes in the Ming soldiers’ hands.
“Where are you guys from?”The Ming army asked with their waists crossed, hooting and hollering.
“We fled from Jiangning.”The refugees returned.
“Have you seen any signs of Japanese invaders along the way?”The Ming army asked, shaking the cakes in their hands.
“Nope. I have not seen any.””
“If we had seen them, we would still be alive.”
“I didn’t see them, I heard that the Japanese robbed something and ran towards the sea, but we didn’t see them, so I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
The refugees shook their heads in unison, saying they hadn’t seen any Japanese pirates.
“Hey, sure enough, there is still no sign of the Japanese invaders, I don’t know if they ran away or took a detour.”The Ming army was not surprised at all, and threw the cakes in their hands to the refugees, and said with a hefty smile, “These cakes are rewarded to you, whoever snatches them is counted as whoever gets them.”
Then, the second group of Ming soldiers laughed and watched the refugees scramble for the cakes like vicious dogs pouncing on food.
After grabbing the food, the refugees went to the woods by the roadside to rest. With the army stationed here, they could finally not be afraid of the Japanese, and could finally rest for a few moments to raise their spirits so that they could continue to flee to Yingtian.
The Ming army turned a blind eye to this, and several waves of refugees had already gone to rest in the woods by the roadside, some of them had finished resting and continued to flee to Yingtian, and some of them had not left yet. As long as they didn’t add to the chaos, the Ming army was too lazy to shoo them away.
“This sun is about to set, and there is still no sign of the Japanese bandits, nor have we heard of them attacking Yingtian from other directions, it seems that this group of Japanese bandits really did escape.”
“Hehe, robbed so much, enough to spend dozens of lifetimes, Fan can’t risk his life to attack Yingtian, it’s more than normal for them to run away. ”
“Haha, running away is good.””
“Come on, come on, then eat, then play …..”
A group of Ming army after listening to the jinhou’s jiaxin and the refugee’s words, more relaxed, more slack, at ease to eat, drink and have fun, throwing arrows, rolling dice, chatting and bragging, wrestling …….
Just when the Ming army ate, drank and let loose, the refugees resting in the woods, I don’t know when they converged. From the bedding, baggage, and picks on their fleeing backs, they pulled out a chilling Japanese sword, and from their baggage, they pulled out bags of black powder and tied them to their waists …….
“Split the troops into two directions, be careful to touch the Ming army before shouting kill.”A burly refugee spoke in Japanese.
“Hi!”The second crowd of refugees bowed their heads and whispered in unison.
It turned out that these refugees were actually Japanese pirates!!!!
This group of Japanese pirates had been roaming around the southeast for a long time since landing, and had been planning to prepare for a major invasion of Jiangnan in the future, and had even mastered the language of the local people of Daming, speaking flawlessly!Another one of the bold, disguised as a refugee I surprisingly did not have any cracks!
In particular, they were scattered into several waves, fleeing to this place at different times, and even more so, they did not arouse the slightest suspicion of the Ming army.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they pulled out their Japanese swords and spoke Japanese at this moment, they really couldn’t tell that they were Japanese pirates.
It really was a fake for a real one!The Japanese invaders split into two groups without a sound, carefully approaching the Ming army from both directions, and none of the Ming army who were eating, drinking, and letting themselves go noticed the abnormality in the woods, and no one realised that danger was approaching.
“Kill give give!”.
The Japanese pirates carefully touched the front of the Ming army’s formation, violently waved their Japanese swords and leaped into the Ming army’s formation, shouting out to kill.
Pfft!
Plop!
The knives saw blood, and the knives were fatal.
It was at this time that the Ming army noticed that in both directions, dozens of Japanese pirates waved their Japanese swords like a whirlwind and hacked away at the formation, just like chopping melons and cutting vegetables, and turned one of their fellow soldiers to the ground.
The Japanese pirates’ swordsmanship was exquisite, and they wielded their swords like a whirlwind: their hands were as agile as the flashes of evil spirits.
The Ming army, on the other hand.
Ming army in order to bake fire warm, has taken off the armour night, no protection; In order to eat baked meat baked cake, weapons are also put aside, unarmed, one by one like a lamb to be slaughtered.
In an instant, make the bandits is like a hot knife sown into the snow, the Ming army instantly melted!
They were scattered!
Scurrying away!The army is in shambles!
Unarmed and misguidedly protected by armour, they were attacked in haste, and apart from being hacked to the ground, they could only instinctively flee for their lives.
At this time, which deep ditch they dug before, that deep ditch to prevent is sick retreat, that deep ditch in order to motivate the generals to break the sign and sink the boat, backwater fight, it worked!
It really worked!
Under the Japanese raid, the Ming army scattered and fled, this time the panic fleeing Ming army like dumplings, gulp gulp rolled to, fell into the deep ditch, screams resounded through the clouds.
When the Japanese raid, Hu Zongxian was still studying the map, while studying, while muttering: “The Japanese can not run, they will certainly kill, will kill from where it …….”
Then the Japanese invaders came to kill!
“Steady!”.
“Those who escape will be killed without amnesty!”
Hu Zongxian raised his longsword and shouted, hastily organising his personal soldiers to maintain military discipline and stabilise the military formation.
Ideal is plump, reality is bony!
Hu Zong finished only gathered seven or eight soldiers, was holding the head and scurrying, the hasty escape of the Ming army to the impact of the seven pieces. Hu Zongxian’s head Sheng were squeezed off, his hair was messy, like a chicken nest. The entire Cherry Orchard is a one-sided massacre, the Japanese are chasing after them, and the Ming army is fleeing like headless flies ……..
“My lord, things have come to this, save your life.”
Two soldiers saw the defeat of the army, regardless of Hu Zongxian objections, one side of a set up Hu Zongxian’s shoulder legs to run back, and then uncontrollable by the chaos of soldiers wrapped into the deep ditch.
Ming army in the deep ditch screams.
The Japanese pursuit to the front of the ditch, from the waist to remove the gunpowder belt thrown into the deep ditch, but also the gunpowder of the Ming army artillery also thrown in, a few Japanese from the chip fire took out a few sticks on fire and threw it in.
Boom!
Crackling
The fire in the deep ditch, miserable …….
