Chapter 1446 The opportunity to make a meritorious deed has come
“Well done! It’s finally here! My sword is already thirsty.”
Nabeshima Naoman heard that the Ming army was coming, Gulu grinned happily, rolled out of bed, and with the help of Matsuura Sanbanro, put on the Dai Kai, put on the lion bite helmet, and came to the courtyard with the samurai sword.
This Daikai set was worn by Ryuzoji Takanobu, and was specially given to Nabeshima Naoto before departure.
After Naoshima Naoshima put on the armor, he became extraordinarily heroic. He felt that the power was transmitted from the armor to his body, and his combat power increased.
Matsuura Sanbanro also wears a set of armor. Although it is not as gorgeous as Nabeshima Naoji's, it is also a valuable full-body heavy armor inherited from the Matsuura family. Its defensive power must be greater than that of Dai Kai. The armor of other Japanese pirates is higher. They accounted for about one-third, and most of their armor was light armor. The other Japanese pirates had no armor and wore cloth clothes and bare feet.
The Japanese pirates in the courtyard are ready for battle. Dozens of Japanese pirates with bows are stepping on chairs, exposing half of their heads on the courtyard wall, stretching out their hands to draw their bows; there are also ten Japanese pirates holding iron cannons, occupying On the commanding heights of the third floor, the muzzles of the guns were facing the outside; the remaining Japanese pirates were engaged in close combat, holding tachi, naginata, spears and other weapons in their hands, ready to attack.
Although there were only one hundred and fifty Japanese pirates, they were all full of fighting spirit, and no one showed fear on their face.
"Xinxi, you bastards, that's good!" Nabeshima Naoshima looked at the group of Japanese pirates and grinned with satisfaction.
"Straight male general, please see, the Ming army is no longer strong enough." Matsuura Sanbanro said pointing outside.
Nabeshima Naoman raised his head and looked outside, and saw that a large number of Ming troops were advancing towards the place outside.
Nabeshima Naoman made a rough count and found that there were about two thousand people. He grinned and said, "吆西! My sword will be full of blood in one go!", then he turned and shouted to the Japanese pirates in the courtyard. He said, "You bastards, we only have one hundred and fifty people, and there are more than two thousand Ming troops outside. Are you afraid?" Afraid!”
“Afraid!”
“Afraid that the Ming army won’t be enough for us to kill!”
The Japanese pirates in the courtyard laughed arrogantly, and each of them regarded the Ming army coming to encircle and suppress them as nothing.
"Hahaha, you stinking bastards with heinous crimes and inhumanity are worthy of being my good sons in Yamato!" Nabeshima laughed with satisfaction and pointed at the belated Ming army outside. He said arrogantly: "When the Ming army comes, I will take you guys Kill them, you bastards!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The Japanese pirates in the courtyard waved their weapons. Blades, all of them are murderous, and their faces are as ferocious as wolves.
"General Straight Man, everyone, wait for this wave of Ming people to come. If the Ming army is strong, if we want to save ourselves, we only need to guard the courtyard. We will make rafts in the evening, attack the Ming army at night, and cross the river to escape. ; If the Ming army is weak, then you should not kill too hard and use some strength to avoid scaring the Ming army. Run away. This is our first contact with the Ming army. This is a rare opportunity. I want to observe and study the situation of the Ming army. After today, you can kill as much as you want."
Matsuura Sanfan. Lang calmly looked at the fanatical Nabeshima Naoman and a group of Japanese pirates, and suggested calmly.
"Sanbanro, I listen to you!" Nabeshima Naoman nodded and said to the Japanese pirates, "I heard what General Sanbanro said! Akito will come later, take some points "Li, don't miss the important task of spying on the Ming Dynasty!"
"Hi!"
All the Japanese pirates said in unison.
Somewhere outside the courtyard, more than two thousand Ming troops were advancing towards the courtyard. Their uniforms divided them into two distinct parts.
Part of them are soldiers and horses led by Liu Xi, the prefect of Shaoxing. There are more than 1,000 people in total. 400 are soldiers from Shaoxing Prefecture, and 600 are cadres, civil servants and other non-governmental officials recruited from the eight counties within the jurisdiction. Formal strength.
The other part is the thousand guards soldiers led by Xu Ziyi, a thousand households in the guard house.
Zhifu Liu and Xu Qianhu did not negotiate to join forces to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates, but instead led their troops separately to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates.
More than a hundred people survived in Funing Town (that is, the village where Nabeshima Naonan and his gang of Japanese pirates scourge). After escaping with their lives from the Japanese pirates' butcher's knife, the news came that the Japanese pirates had landed in Funing Town. When the news came out, Liu Xi, the prefect of Shaoxing, and Xu Ziyi, a member of the Qianhu House of the Guard, learned about the news almost at the same time. After learning that there were only more than 100 Japanese pirates who landed, Shaoxing magistrate Liu Xi and Weisuo Qianhu Xu Ziyi both came to the conclusion: This was a good opportunity to make a contribution!
Recently, under the connivance and instigation of Wang Zhi, the leader of the Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates have gone crazy. The frequency of landing and harassing the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas has greatly increased. Shaoxing Prefecture has been attacked by Japanese pirates nearly ten times more than in previous years. Liu Xi, the prefect of Shaoxing, and Xu Ziyi, a member of Qianhu of the Guard House, were under great pressure.
The status of the prefect in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to that of a high-ranking city official who concurrently serves as the mayor of a prefecture-level city. He has a high position and heavy responsibilities. It is the common people's responsibilities to hear and decide lawsuits, detect traitors, evaluate subordinate officials, collect taxes and other government affairs. Of course, the most important responsibility is to protect the environment and the people. Nowadays, Japanese pirates have repeatedly harassed the counties of Shaoxing Prefecture, causing serious casualties and property losses to the counties of Shaoxing Prefecture. Can Liu Xi, the prefect, not be under great pressure?
The Ming Dynasty Guards Station was equivalent to a small military region today and was responsible for defense. One of the main areas that Xu Ziyi, Qianhu of the Guard House, is responsible for guarding is Shaoxing Prefecture. Now the Japanese pirates are attacking Shaoxing Prefecture like crazy. As Xu Qianhu, who is responsible for guarding, the pressure is like Mount Tai.
During this period, the Japanese pirates who harassed Shaoxing Prefecture often numbered more than a thousand, and the few were as many as five or six hundred. Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu wanted to kill the Japanese, but their troops and combat effectiveness were limited. Weakhearted.
Now, I heard that a group of more than a hundred Japanese pirates had landed, and I immediately felt that this was an opportunity to kill them all and make a great contribution.
In the past, when Japanese pirates landed and harassed, they would inform each other, reach consensus, and join forces to expel the Japanese pirates.
But this time is different.
This was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. After learning the news, they further confirmed that the news was true. There were indeed only more than a hundred Japanese pirates. They did not even think of notifying the other party to jointly send troops. They each recruited troops. Came to exterminate the Japanese pirates and made meritorious service. They met each other while walking on their own path.
Haha, what a coincidence.
Zhifu Liu and Xu Qianhu were immediately embarrassed, but they were both masters of officialdom and could handle such embarrassing situations with ease.
"Xu Qianhu, after I heard that Funing Town under my jurisdiction was captured by Japanese pirates, I felt sorry for the people. I was afraid that the Japanese pirates would cause more killings. I didn't have time to inform Xu Qianhu, so I mobilized troops to wipe out the Japanese pirates."
Zhifu Liu said with a sad look on his face.
"Prefect Liu and the last general also heard that Japanese pirates had landed in Funing Town. They were worried that the Japanese pirates would plunder other places, so they hurriedly summoned soldiers from the guard station to come and exterminate the Japanese pirates. They were eager to exterminate the Japanese pirates, but they didn't arrive in time. Notify Magistrate Liu.”
Xu Qianhu clasped his hands in his hands, looking defensive and responsible. (End of this chapter)
