Chapter 1447 The war is about to break out
“Bah, you’re just taking credit for taking credit, and you’re talking so high-sounding and righteous.”
Zhifu Liu and Xu Qianhu cursed secretly in their hearts. There was a look of understanding on his face.
Forget it if we didn’t meet each other. Now that we have met, we can’t monopolize the merit of destroying Japan, we can only share it. Therefore, Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu joined forces and rushed towards the building occupied by Nabeshima Naoman and his group of Japanese pirates.
Of course, there is also a saying about sharing. There are rules about who takes the lead and who takes the lion’s share.
Regarding this, the two of them could not help but worry about Xiao Jiujiu.
"Zhifu Liu, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? This group of Japanese pirates only has about 150 people. The last general will lead a thousand troops, which is enough to destroy this group of Japanese pirates. Magistrate Liu will take the soldiers and horses and sit in the rear. That’s it.”
On the way to join forces to attack the Japanese pirates, Xu Qianhu said to Magistrate Liu with a confident face that he wanted Magistrate Liu to sit in the rear and lead the guardsmen to exterminate the Japanese pirates, so that he could take the lead Great work, great work.
"Xu Qianhu, a lion and a rabbit, also needs all our strength, not to mention the Japanese pirates. This time to exterminate the Japanese pirates in Funing Town, we must use all our strength to complete the victory in one battle, and not give the Japanese pirates any chance to take advantage of them. Machine!"
Zhifu Liu shook his head slightly, and said to Xu Qianhu earnestly, insisting on going forward to suppress the Japanese together.
Haha, little brother, you want to take advantage of the situation, how is this possible?
"What Magistrate Liu said is true, but the general has been hasty." Seeing that Magistrate Liu was unmoved, Xu Qianhu had no choice but to clasp his fists.
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, culture was emphasized over military affairs. Moreover, the official position of Liu Zhifu was higher than that of Xu Qianhu, so Xu Qianhu naturally did not dare to force it.
Soon, Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu led their troops to the wooden building occupied by the Japanese pirates and stopped within the range of the crossbow.
The Japanese pirates are close at hand, and the courtyard wall is not high. Standing at a high place, the situation in the courtyard can be clearly seen.
Xu Qianhu rode his horse around half a circle, observed carefully, and said to Magistrate Liu with a smile on his face, "Prefect Liu, what the report said is true, there are indeed only about 150 Japanese pirates in the courtyard. ”
"Good! The right time, right place and right people are all on our side. This time, this group of Japanese pirates who are full of evil will be buried here!"
Zhifu Liu clenched his fist vigorously and said with confidence.
While Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu were observing the Japanese pirates, Nabeshima Naoo and Matsuura Sanbanro in the courtyard were also observing the Ming army outside.
"There are about two thousand Ming troops outside. Judging from their weapons and uniforms, they should be two groups of Ming troops. The overall armor rate is less than 10%. The weapons are mostly bows and arrows, knives, and spears, and there are very few iron cannons. Not a single cannon.”
While Matsuura Sanbanro observed, he carefully recorded the equipment and personnel of the Ming army on paper.
"Haha, Sanbanlang, you see, my joke just now was true. There are actually many old men in the Ming army. Hahahaha, they have old arms and legs. No wonder they reacted like this. "Slow"
After Nabeshima Naoman noticed that there were many old and weak people in the Ming army outside, he couldn't help laughing.
"Well, he is indeed a straight man general, and his observation is meticulous. It is true. At least three-fourths of the Ming army are old and weak. It is really unbelievable. The army of the great celestial country is actually So unbearable.”
Matsuura Sanbanlang nodded, recorded this point on the paper, and marked the key symbols.
"This is a good thing, isn't it?!" Naoshima Naoshima smiled and looked at Matsuura Sanbanro.
"円西! What a good thing!" Matsuura Sanbanro couldn't help but laugh along with Nabeshima Naoshima. After laughing a few times, he said to Nabeshima Naoshima, "Nabeshima General, it seems, You need to use more force later."
"Haha, it seems like you need to use more force, so as not to scare these old men away."
Nabeshima Naoman. He laughed wildly.
Outside the courtyard, Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu saw Nabeshima Naoman and Matsuura Sanbanro chatting and laughing from a distance, and they couldn't help but feel angry. The two Japanese pirates' armors were obviously more luxurious than the other Japanese pirates. At first glance, it was the Japanese chiefs. In front of my two thousand army, these two Japanese chiefs with only a hundred soldiers still dared to talk and laugh. I really don't know how to write the word "death"! The two immediately mobilized their troops and generals to attack the Japanese pirates.
"Xu Qianhu, the courtyard occupied by the Japanese pirates is to the east of the Qishui River. The river is nearly ten meters wide and the water is three meters deep. The Japanese pirates have no boats and cannot fly over the Qishui River with their wings. But to be on the safe side, You and I should each send a hundred People guard the east wall and the river bank to prevent the Japanese pirates from jumping over the wall and jumping into the river to risk their lives! To the west and north are the walls. We send 300 soldiers and horses on each side to pretend to attack the Japanese pirates. To the south is the gate, and we will use all the remaining soldiers and horses. vote all Enter, attack from the south gate, break through the gate, attack the courtyard, and wipe out the Japanese pirates entrenched here! Report to the emperor and avenge the victims of Funing Town! "< b r>
Liu Zhifu had a high official position and was a civil servant. His status was not comparable to that of Xu Qianhu, so he took the dominant position and arranged the deployment of troops to attack the Japanese pirates. He only symbolically consulted Xu Qianhu's opinion at the end. .
"Prefect Liu has taken care of everything, the general will have no objections!" Xu Qianhu said, cupping his fists.
"Okay, without further ado, let's start the attack!" Magistrate Liu nodded with satisfaction and ordered.
“No!”
Xu Qianhu clasped his fists.
Soon, the Ming army followed the instructions of Magistrate Liu and divided into four groups, guarding the east side and feigning attack on the northwest side. The main force of more than 1,200 people faced the courtyard gate occupied by the Japanese pirates from the south and shouted to kill them. past.
Seeing the Ming army coming, Naoshima Naoshima excitedly picked up the Japanese sword, rushed out, and shouted to the Japanese pirates in the courtyard, "Assholes, Ming people are coming, I will lead you." You go and try Ming people's skills. If Ming people are good at it, We are all weaklings, so give me some strength and don’t scare Akito away!”
“Hey!”
The melee Japanese pirates in the courtyard were carrying weapons. , followed by Naoshima Naoman and rushed out.
Matsuura Sanbanro did not go to battle. He had a more important task: observing the actual combat strength of the Ming army.
"Well, you came out well. I was worried that the Japanese pirates would defend the wall, but unexpectedly they came out. You are really asking for your own death!"
Zhifu Liu saw the Japanese pirates taking the initiative to come out of the courtyard. He rushed out with a smile on his face. If the Japanese pirates defend the wall, it will take some effort. However, the Japanese pirates are stupid and give up the advantage of the courtyard wall and run out to die. Haha, since you come out to die, then we will not show mercy!
"Haha, the Japanese pirates knew that their crimes were heinous, so they came out to die!" Magistrate Liu took advantage of the situation to encourage morale.
"Kill! Kill all the Japanese pirates! Leave no one behind!" Xu Qianhu also shouted to boost morale.
"Kill! Kill all the Japanese pirates!"
The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and they swarmed forward with shouts of killing.
“Death!”
The Japanese pirates, led by Nabeshima Naoji, also came shouting to kill. The war is about to break out!
