Chapter 1496 Melting in an instant
The winter days are short, and time is not slow. Every fire is swaying and the sun is getting lower in the west mountain. The four waves of scouts sent by Hu Zongxian also returned in the afterglow of the sunset, bringing the latest investigation. Condition.
No Japanese pirates, no Japanese pirates, still no Japanese pirates!
The Ming army was not surprised at all by this.
Now in front of the cherry orchard, it’s like a party waiting for the fire. On the bonfire, sweet potatoes from Spain, chickens, ducks and geese that “lost” to the cherry orchard, and dry grains are roasted. The roasted oil is fragrant and crispy. , grease tick.
The Ming army, who had long taken off their armor and weapons, sat beside the campfire, eating with oily lips.
This is not like a war, but like an outing.
While the Ming army was eating and drinking, another wave of about ten people who had fled came on the road ahead. When they got closer, they stood on the roadside. They were all timid and frightened and eagerly watched the people roasting and eating meat. The Ming army.
Their words and deeds fully demonstrated that they were hungry and cold, and they not only wanted to ask for some food and drink, but they were also afraid of the Ming army.
"Hey, you guys, come here, I have something to ask you." Several Ming soldiers took a few pancakes and stretched out their hands to call them over.
"Master Jun, what do you want to ask?" The refugees came over, looked at the pancakes in Ming Jun's hands, and swallowed.
"Where did you come from?" Ming Jun asked with his hands on his hips and shouting.
“We escaped from Jiangning.” the refugees replied.
"Have you seen any traces of Japanese pirates along the way?" Ming Jun asked, shaking the pancake in his hand.
"No. Didn't see it.""
"If we had seen it, we would still be alive."
"I didn't see it. I heard that the Japanese pirates robbed things and ran to the seaside. We didn't see it, so I don't know whether it was true or not."
All the refugees shook their heads and said they had not seen the Japanese pirates.
"Hey, as expected, there is still no trace of the Japanese pirates. I don't know if they ran away or took a detour." The Ming army was not surprised at all. He threw the pancakes in his hands to the refugees and said with a smile, "These pancakes are worth the reward." It’s up to you, whoever grabs it gets it.”
Then, the two Ming soldiers laughed and watched the refugees fighting for the pancakes like vicious dogs.
After the refugees robbed each other of food, they went to rest in the woods on the roadside. With a large army stationed here, they finally no longer have to worry about Japanese pirates. They can finally rest for a while and recuperate enough to continue their escape to Yingtian.
The Ming army turned a blind eye to this. Several waves of refugees had gone to rest in the woods on the roadside. Some refugees continued to flee to Yingtian after resting, and some refugees had not yet left. As long as they don't cause trouble, the Ming army won't bother to chase them away.
“The sun is about to set, and there is no trace of the Japanese pirates yet. We have not heard the Japanese pirates attacking Yingtian from other directions. It seems that this group of Japanese pirates have really escaped.”
"hehe , robbed so much, enough for them to spend dozens of lifetimes, it was normal for Fan to run away without risking his life. "
"Haha, it's good to run away." "< br>
"Come on, come on, keep eating, keep playing."
After listening to Jin Hou's commendation and the words of the refugees, the Ming army became more relaxed and relaxed, and began to eat, drink and have fun with peace of mind. Throwing arrows, throwing dice, chatting and bragging, wrestling.
While the Ming army was eating, drinking, having fun and letting themselves go, the refugees resting in the woods gathered together at some point. He took out a handful of Japanese knives with cold light from the quilt, baggage and bag carried by the refugees, and took out bags of black powder from the baggage and tied them around his waist
"The troops were divided into two groups. , be careful if you touch the Ming army, and then shout for death." A stout refugee said in Japanese.
"Hi!" The two refugees lowered their heads and whispered in unison. .
It turns out that these refugees turned out to be Japanese pirates!!
This group of Japanese pirates has been wandering in the southeast for a long time since landing. They are also deliberately preparing for a large-scale invasion of Jiangnan in the future. They have actually mastered the language of the locals in the Ming Dynasty and can speak the language. There was no flaw in their appearance! Each and every one of them was so bold that they disguised themselves as refugees and there were no flaws at all!
Especially, they were scattered into several waves and fled here at different times, which did not arouse any suspicion from the Ming army. .
If they hadn’t taken out Japanese knives and spoke Japanese at this moment, we really wouldn’t have known that they were Japanese pirates.
It was really fake! The Japanese pirates divided into two groups silently and cautiously approached the Ming army from two directions. The Ming army was eating, drinking, having fun, and letting themselves go. No one noticed anything unusual in the woods. No one realizes the danger is approaching.
"Kill me!"
The Japanese pirates carefully touched the front of the Ming army's formation, suddenly waved their Japanese swords and jumped into the Ming army's formation, shouting to kill.
Pfft!
Pfft!
A sword is bloody, a sword is deadly.
It was at this time that the Ming army noticed two directions. Dozens of Japanese pirates were wielding Japanese knives like a whirlwind and slashing in the formation, just like chopping melons and vegetables, knocking each of their comrades to the ground.
The Japanese pirates have exquisite sword skills. When they wield the Japanese sword, it spins like the wind: they are agile and flash like evil ghosts.
As for the Ming army.
In order to warm themselves by the fire, the Ming army had already taken off their armor and had no protection; in order to eat barbecue and scones, their weapons were put aside, unarmed, and they were like lambs to be slaughtered.
In an instant, the envoys were like hot knives being sown into the snow, and the Ming army was melted in an instant!
They were in disarray!
The rats were scurrying away! They were completely defeated!
They were unarmed and unprotected by armor. They were attacked in a hurry. Apart from being chopped to the ground, they could only run for their lives instinctively.
At this time, the deep ditch they dug before, the deep ditch to prevent the disease from retreating, the deep ditch to encourage the soldiers to break the lottery and sink the boat and fight with their last ditch, it worked!
< br>It really works!
Under the Japanese pirates' surprise attack, the Ming army fled in all directions. At this time, the Ming army panicked and fled like dumplings. They rolled and fell into a deep ditch, and their screams resounded through the sky.
When the Japanese pirates raided, Hu Zongxian was still studying the map. While studying, he murmured to himself: "The Japanese pirates can't run away. They will definitely come to kill them. Where will they come from?"
< br>Then the Japanese pirates came to kill!
“Hold on!”.
“Those who escape will be killed without mercy!”
Hu Zongxian raised his sword, shouted, and hurriedly organized his own soldiers to maintain military discipline and stabilize the military formation.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny!
Hu Zong had just gathered seven or eight soldiers, but he was attacked by the Ming army who fled in a hurry and was in pieces. Hu Zongxian's head was squeezed out, and his hair was as messy as a chicken coop. The entire cherry orchard was massacred on one side. The Japanese pirates were chasing after them, and the Ming army fled like headless flies
"My lord, the matter has come to an end. Preserving life is the most important thing."
Two soldiers saw the soldiers. Defeated like a mountain, regardless of Hu Zongxian's objections, he picked up Hu Zongxian's shoulders and ran back. Then he was uncontrollably wrapped up by the rebels and fell into a deep ditch.
The Ming army screamed in the deep ditch.
The Japanese pirates chased them to the ditch, took off the gunpowder belt from their waists and threw it into the deep ditch. They also threw the gunpowder for Ming army artillery into the ditch. Several Japanese pirates took out a few pieces of gunpowder from the fire pile. A burning stick was thrown in. Boom
Crackling
Fires burst into the sky in the deep ditch, and people were miserable
