The time was already sunset, the sun had already set in the west, the sky was piled up with evening sunshine, and the vision was slightly blurred.
Under Yingtian City, in the midst of all the people’s attention, the Zhejian army rushed out from the woods like a wild boar with chicken blood, and with an unrelenting momentum, rolled up the rolling dust and flew straight towards the Japanese invaders.
The Japanese under the city, on the other hand, like a silent and lofty mountain, stood still, unmoving in the wind and rain.
The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, the distance between the two is more than a hundred metres, whether it is a wild boar crashing through the mountain, or in front of the mountain crashing head to head, will soon see the difference ……..
The soldiers and civilians on the city wall looked at the touch-and-go battle situation under the city, one by one, nervous all buckled their toes.
“The reinforcements outside the city have launched an attack on the Japanese invaders, why don’t we send troops out of the city to meet the reinforcements and attack the Japanese invaders from the front and back?The Japanese want to attack from the inside and the outside, so let’s return the favour and give the Japanese an attack from the inside and the outside.”
“What about our soldiers in the city? Why are they all so weak? They fight against the people, but are so reluctant to fight against the Japanese, are you still men?Can’t you have some blood?”
“Quickly send troops out of the city ah, with the Zhejiang army back and forth, do not miss the opportunity to fight ah.”
“The Zhejuns are coming to help, but we’re just watching from the sidelines! Is this the way to treat a benefactor?”
Many people in the city watched the Zhejian army rushing towards the Japanese invaders, while the officials and soldiers in the city did not send troops to co-operate, and could not help but cajole.
“What do you know, the Zhejian army under the city has not yet gained a firm foothold before blindly rushing, that is not to give the Japanese head. We send troops out of the city, if we are defeated by the Japanese, what if the Japanese take advantage of the opportunity to seize the door, then is not Yingtian in danger?!We’re holding our troops still, this is all for your protection, what are you guys blindly coaxing for.”
“Hmph, watch, this group of Japanese pirates can be extraordinary, Hu Royal Secretary led more than a thousand elite soldiers are still not a match for the Japanese pirates, killed by the Japanese pirates blood flow into the river, Zhejian army this soldiers and horses, how can be a match for the Japanese pirates, it is not a gift of human head.”
“Wide your eyes, look carefully, the Zhejiang army will soon be routed, by then you will know how wise we are to close the city, by then you will thank us for our prudence.”
Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and the others reprimanded a few people who were up in arms, and shook their heads and sighed at the city.
The news of the great defeat by the Japanese in front of the Cherry Orchard was once again brought up, Hu Zongxian’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he clenched his teeth as if he was being flogged, and narrowed his eyes and swept a glance at Shi Pengfei and the others.
Which pot is not mentioned, very good, I remember you guys!
“My lord, the opportunity is not to be lost, I request to lead the troops out of the city to attack the Japanese, and attack the Japanese front and back with the Zhejian army below the city.”
Yu Dayou led his personal soldiers to Zhang Jing, Eunuch He, and Duke Wei, and cupped his fists to them, asking for battle.
“This …….”Zhang Jing sniffed and pondered.
“Nonsense! It’s just that the common people don’t know anything about military affairs and are just fooling around, but you, a veteran general of the sands, are following along to add to the chaos! Yu Dayou, you are the general in charge of defending the city, defend the city! Defend the city! Your duty is to defend the city! What’s wrong with the city? If something goes wrong in Yingtian, you’re just a general, can you take the responsibility?”
Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, first opened his mouth and reprimanded Yu Dayou, then said to Zhang Jing and the others, “Your Excellency, we must not send our troops out of the city! If we hold out, Yingtian will be safe, but if we leave the city, there is no guarantee. If the troops that go out of the city are defeated by the Japanese, and the Japanese chase after them, won’t Yingtian be in danger! The previous lesson of Imperial Governor Hu is clear for all to see, so please take Yingtian for granted and don’t stand under the fence.”
“Yes my lord, this risk cannot be taken! Yingtian is the capital of our Ming Dynasty, there are millions of people inside, we can’t put Yingtian in danger because of a moment’s pleasure, and put millions of people in danger, we can just give support to the Zhejun army on the city.”
“Can’t go out of the city ah. This group of Japanese invaders are murderous, every time they break through the city, they burn, kill, loot, and do nothing wrong, especially since we just beheaded all the Japanese invaders and their insiders, the Japanese invaders have long hated us, if the Japanese invaders break through the city gates, I’m afraid that there will be no chickens or dogs left in Yingtian.”
“Never send troops out of the city ……”
Shi Pengfei’s words lagged behind, several officials also followed closely with a chorus, they are really too afraid of the Japanese pirates outside the city, lest sending troops out of the city will give the Japanese pirates an opportunity to take advantage of and bring danger to Yingtian.
Especially not to bring danger to them.
They were in their prime, with power and wealth, beautiful wives and concubines, living a happy life and enjoying a beautiful life, so they couldn’t afford to make the slightest mistake.
Zhang Jing looked at each other with Eunuch He and Duke Wei, the three of them shielded the people around them and lowered their heads to discuss in whispers.
“What does Eunuch He think?”Zhang Jing first sought Eunuch He’s opinion.
“Ahem, Lord Zhu had experienced the Zhenwu Camp mutiny with me, and experienced life and death suffering, he led his troops to come to his aid, it is only right that I should send my troops out of the city to meet him ……”Eunuch He opened his mouth to say, but then said, “However, as the Yingtian town guard, I can’t be emotionally involved, and need to focus on the big picture……”
Zhang Jing understood, and turned his head to ask Duke Wei’s opinion.
“Zi Hou is the nephew of a worldly friend, and I should send troops out of the city for the sake of reason, however, what Eunuch He said is reasonable, but I can’t be sentimental. In addition, when the Japanese attacked the city, we have already failed His Majesty’s trust, if there is any failure in Yingtian, it would be difficult for us to take the blame even if we die nine deaths.”Duke Wei slowly said.
The big picture is important, Yingtian can not have another lapse ……Eunuch He and Duke Wei’s words made sense.
Zhang Jing heard the words, pondered for a moment, made up his mind, turned to Yu Dayou and said, “General Yu’s courage is commendable, but Yingtian is an important place and cannot tolerate any flashbacks, it is not appropriate to send troops out of the city for the time being, so make the bows and crossbows cooperate with the Zhejian army.”
“Yes, sir.”Yu Dayou cupped his fists and led the order, a faintly unnoticeable sigh.
Bows and crossbows? How can bows and crossbows work together, the Japanese are out of range of the city at the moment, they can’t work together even if they want to.
“Hmph, General Yu good life guard, once the Zhejiang army was defeated by the Japanese, can not let the Japanese hostage victory to break through the door.”
Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, called out to Yu Dayou before he left, commanding from on high.
Just at this moment, he suddenly heard a burst of thunderous and excited screams around him, “The Japanese have escaped, the Japanese have escaped!The Zhejiang Army has beaten the Japanese away!”The Zhejiang army saved Yingtian and saved us!”
What’s going on?
Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, changed his face drastically and raised his head to look outside the city, then his eyes instantly widened.
“Impossible ……How is it possible ……This isn’t real ……”Shi Pengfei and the others were shocked by the scene below the city, and one by one, as if they were struck by lightning, the whole person was in a half-demented, half-foolish state, muttering to themselves.
Only to see them in the line of sight, the Zhejiang army is as powerful as a rainbow, shouting and killing the sound of the sky, the Japanese threw yellow umbrellas to abandon the car frame, fleeing to the southeast ……
Not only Shi Pengfei and the others, but also Zhang Jing, Duke Wei, Eunuch He and the others were shocked with their mouths wide open.
A pair of eyes incredibly fast stared out.
They had been looking down at the city, watching the Zhejian army swooping down on the Japanese invaders, with drums and shouts rushing up to the sky, and when they were tens of metres away from the Japanese invaders, they shot arrows and cannons at the same time, while rushing towards the Japanese invaders without any hesitation.
When the two sides were about to meet each other, they retreated in a hurry, the reason why I say in a hurry is because the Japanese abandoned their wagons, and even the Japanese sheikh abandoned his yellow umbrella which he used to pretend to be a pimp…….
I don’t know who took the lead, “the Zhejiang army is mighty”, “the Zhejiang army is mighty” sound in the city rolled endlessly, resounding in the sky.
