Chapter 1167: Report on the Japanese invasion in various counties (Part 2)
Worship the Buddha to ward off the Japanese, the county magistrate was shot and killed... Tiantai County is already in the pocket of the Japanese pirates, how can it be spared!
Tan Lun and others did not need to listen to Tan Ma Xiaobing to know that Tiantai County had been conquered by Japanese pirates.
Although there was no hope, at this moment Taizhou magistrate Tan Lun could not help but be extremely disappointed and in a terrible mood.
I had known for a long time that Tiantai County would be conquered by Japanese pirates, but I didn’t expect that Tiantai County would be conquered by Japanese pirates in such a cowardly way! The magistrate of a dignified county actually resisted the Japanese pirates by praying to Buddha. This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world! If he hadn't been shot and killed by Japanese pirates, he would have been killed in the line of duty. How could I have spared him so lightly?
"The magistrate of Tiantai County was shot dead by a Japanese pirate with an arrow. The Japanese pirates took the opportunity to attack the city and stormed the south gate in one fell swoop..."
Tanma Xiaobing then reported to Tan Lun, Yu Dayou and others.
Sure enough!
As expected, the Japanese pirates attacked the south gate, so Tiantai County would naturally fall.
Taizhou magistrate Tan Lun sighed slightly in his heart.
"When Tiantai County was about to be captured by Japanese pirates, a group of Shaolin monks suddenly rushed to the city wall to rescue them. Each of these monks was holding an iron rod eight feet long. They were all highly skilled in martial arts. They were at the critical moment. We saved Tiantai County and have been assisting in the defense of Tiantai County until today when the Japanese pirates retreated."
When everyone thought that the fall of Tiantai County was certain, the patrolman continued to report to everyone.
What? !
The monk comes to the rescue? ! Tiantai County actually defended it? ! Wasn't it captured by Japanese pirates? !
How is this possible? !
After hearing that Tiantai County was rescued at the critical moment by a team of Shaolin monks, Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun and others opened their mouths in surprise, with disbelief and disbelief on their faces.
"My little investigation in the county revealed that these monks came from two temples in Tiantai County, one named Wolong Temple and the other named Wuzutan Temple. It is said that the magistrate of Tiantai County has always taken care of the temples. , very generous, two temples in Tiantai County have received Tiantai The county magistrates took care of them. Therefore, after the abbots of the two temples heard that the Japanese pirates were besieging Tiantai County, they spontaneously organized monks from the nearby Baihu Temple to go to the rescue." More inside information was provided to Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun and others.
It turned out to be like this.
After hearing the inside story, the corners of Tan Lun's mouth, the prefect of Taizhou, twitched, and he really didn't know what to say. The magistrate of Tiantai County eats fasts, chants Buddha's name, worships Buddha and performs rituals to ward off the Japanese all year round. He is really "worshiped" by him.
Tiantai County was not captured by Japanese pirates, which was an unexpected surprise for Tan Lun. Even Tiantai County, which was undefendable, undefendable, and hopeless, was defended. As for other counties, this gave him more opportunities. Ambition.
The news of Tiantai County’s defense added another delicious dish to the banquet, making the atmosphere of the banquet lively again.
After tea time, I heard the sound of horse hooves outside again, and then a sound of footsteps came from far and near. Soon I saw a dusty horse scout walking in. Banquet scene.
"Reporting the war against Japanese invaders in Ninghai County is reported to the governor and the general."
Tan Ma Xiaobing walked into the banquet scene with a tired look, half-kneeling to salute Tan Lun, Yu Dayou and others.
Ninghai County battle report!
Hearing Tan Ma Xiaobing mention Ninghai County, Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun put down the wine glass in his hand, leaned forward slightly, looking like he was concentrating and listening carefully, with a pair of eyes filled with expectation.
Ninghai County is the largest of the seven counties under the jurisdiction of Taizhou Prefecture, and it is also the county with the highest and largest city. It is backed by mountains and surrounded by a moat, making the city the easiest to defend and difficult to attack; in addition, Ninghai County is located in the northernmost part of Tiantai County. The Japanese pirates came from the southeast and attacked the counties in the south first. Ninghai County is in the northernmost part of the city, so there is enough reaction time; the most important thing is that there is a guard station stationed near Linhai County, with nearly a thousand troops. Guan Yao, a thousand households in the guard station, is a descendant of Guan Gong. Like Guan Gong, he loved reading "Spring and Autumn". He was often known as a martial artist and was often called the "little martial sage" by people at the time.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and Ninghai County are all covered. If we talk about preservation, who else can save it besides Ninghai County? !
Tan Lun has great expectations for Ninghai County.
Nearly a hundred Shaolin monks rescued Tiantai County, which had no danger and no one to defend, and could save the county seat. Wouldn't it be even more possible to save Ninghai County, which had the support of the garrison, a high city and a deep pool, and was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Under Tan Lun’s expectant eyes, the detective Ma Xiaobing continued to report: “Three days ago, Ninghai County had received news of the Japanese pirates’ invasion, and immediately strengthened its defense. At the same time, it sent people to the nearby guard station for help. After receiving the request for help from Ninghai County, Qianhu Guan Yaoguan Qianhu of the Guard Station led 800 troops of the Guard Station to station in Ninghai County to assist in the defense of Ninghai County. . Not long after Guan Qianhu led his army to Ninghai County, the Japanese pirate leader Tie Jingang led more than two thousand Japanese pirates to invade Ningxian County and arrived at the gate of Ninghai County. "
After hearing this, Tan Lun nodded slightly. The magistrate of Ninghai County responded well and handled the situation well, and the guard station sent support to thousands of households in a timely manner, arriving at the county seat before the Japanese pirates surrounded the county seat.
Not bad
Ninghai County is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are 800 soldiers and horses in the guard station to assist in the defense. The regular defense force has more than a thousand people, and this does not count the requisition of the people. The group of Japanese pirate Tiejingang only numbered more than 2,000 people.
Sun Tzu said: If you are ten, you will surround it, if you are five, you will attack it, if if you double it, you will divide it, and the enemy will be able to fight.
More than two thousand Japanese pirates want to capture the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Ninghai County town guarded by more than a thousand defenders. Haha, it’s difficult.
Taizhou magistrate Tan Lun nodded slightly and relaxed. After a while, he picked up the tea cup.
Not only Taizhou Magistrate Tan Lun, but Yu Dayou and others also nodded slightly. The situation in Ninghai County is good, and the battle report is worth looking forward to.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Tan Ma Xiaobing continued to report: "While Ninghai County strengthened its defense, it also prepared wine and food to entertain the rescuers of Guan Qianhu's army. Guan Qianhu did not put the Japanese pirates outside the city. eyes, look at For the mob, he said boldly, "My ancestor, the Martial Saint, Guan Yunchang, warmed the wine and killed Hua Xiong. As a descendant of the Martial Saint, I can't compare with my ancestors. However, I don't take them seriously, just Japanese pirates. Let's put the food and wine first." , I will eat it after I kill the Japanese pirates.' After that, I will lead the people to close thousands of households. He led 800 soldiers, and recruited more than 200 government officials and more than 300 civilians who guarded the city, totaling more than 1,300 troops. He took the initiative to go out of the city to fight against the Japanese pirates, vowing to wipe out the Japanese pirates in one battle. Unexpectedly, the two armies never imagined that the two armies would be defeated. As soon as they arrived at the station, Guan Qianhu was completely defeated. Guan Qianhu himself also had his head smashed with a stick by the bandit leader Tie Jingang. The guardsmen and horses led by Guan Qianhu out of the city, as well as the Ninghai County Yamen and Minzhuang were all annihilated. Ninghai County was also taken advantage of by Tie Jingang. Take it away" cough cough cough.
Immediately, Tan Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, choked on a mouthful of tea, his face turned red, and he coughed repeatedly.
