Chapter 1720 Whose Reinforcements
“Merlin’s words are right, persistence is victory! Listen to everyone, as long as you hold on until the reinforcements arrive, I will be rewarded heavily! I just said that I would reward you with a hundred taels of silver, right? Now it has been changed, two hundred taels! As long as you hold on until the reinforcements arrive, everyone will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver! And everyone will be promoted to one rank, a soldier will be promoted to a corps commander, and a corps commander will be promoted to a higher rank. Promoted to captain of the sentry, and so on, everyone is promoted to one level. If the officer reneges on any of his promises later, he will be punished by heaven and earth, God and man will be abandoned, and the whole family will die..."
Zhao Wenhua listened to Hu Zongxian's persuasion. Finally, after thinking for two seconds, he nodded vigorously, firmed up his idea of standing firm and waiting for help, raised his right hand high, and loudly promised Shangyin an official title to the precarious guards in front of him.
In order to increase the credibility of his promise, Zhao Wenhua swore a poisonous oath and brought his whole family with him.
This is a feudal superstitious society, where the theory of cause and effect of ghosts and gods is rampant. People still believe in poisonous oaths, especially poisonous oaths involving the whole family.
After hearing Zhao Wenhua's promise of a silver reward and officialdom and the poisonous oath to bring his whole family, the guards became as brave as ever and withstood the increasingly fierce attacks of the Japanese pirates one after another, even stabbing them. Two intruding Japanese pirates.
Of course, the Japanese pirates soon responded with a wave of attack, taking away the lives of five personal guards.
However, with the promise of being rewarded with official posts, the guards withstood their inner fears and resisted the Japanese pirates' attack.
"Damn it, why haven't the reinforcements come yet? They are coming back to their senses and won't last long."
Zhao Wenhua stamped his feet anxiously. He could see that the Guards Battalion was about to lose its hold. "Yes," he whispered to Hu Zongxian anxiously.
"It will come, it will come." Although Hu Zongxian looked calm, there was a layer of sweat on his back and he was panicking in his heart.
At this moment, someone from the guard in front suddenly shouted in high spirits, "Look, look in front. There are torches coming here. I can see a lot of people in the blur. Reinforcements are coming." Yes, our reinforcements are coming."
"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming." All the guards looked up and saw torches coming from a distance. A large group of shadowy people were coming here, and they all became energetic. shouted.
Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian also saw the team coming from a distance, looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
“Huh...here it comes! Reinforcements are finally here!!”
Zhao Wenhua's eyebrows were filled with joy and he breathed a long sigh of relief. He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
Hu Zongxian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Great, the reinforcements have finally arrived. He made the right decision to wait for reinforcements.
After seeing the reinforcements, the hope became a reality, victory was in sight, and the guards glowed with greater combat effectiveness.
Since the Japanese pirates had their backs turned, they heard the excitement of the Ming army. After shouting that reinforcements were coming, he noticed someone coming from behind.
"Baga! Which team made a mistake that allowed the Ming army to come to support the Chinese army so quickly?!"
Nakamura Koji was about to break through Akito's last line of defense. Akito's highest official and the imperial edict were all in his pocket. However, when he heard the news that the Ming army had arrived with reinforcements, he couldn't help but cursed angrily.
After scolding, Nakamura Koji pointed at a young Japanese pirate and ordered to him, "Oda-kun, you take twenty people from your team over to block the Akito reinforcements and do not let them get close. If you are attacked by him, If you break through, commit suicide by caesarean section! "
"Hey! We will kill the reinforcements of the Guangming people! Send their heads to the Ming dog officers on the opposite side."
Oda Yongjian was in high spirits, leading his Japanese pirates to greet them. The team with torches on the opposite side rushed over.
"Everyone, follow me and end the battle before Akito's reinforcements arrive!" Nakamura Koji shouted, holding a Japanese sword, and rushed towards Zhao Wenhua's guards bravely. Not to be taken seriously.
When the other Japanese pirates saw that their leader was in the lead, they all rushed forward, each one more fierce and fearless than the other.
In an instant, a dozen Ming soldiers were cut down by them, and the number of Ming soldiers who resisted was less than a hundred.
If the news of reinforcements had not stimulated them, they would have collapsed at this moment.
Oda Nagaken and twenty Japanese pirates had only rushed for about twenty meters when they heard a harsh whistle and a chirping sound.
Oda Nagaken stopped hesitantly and heard the Japanese pirates beside him shouting excitedly, "Look at their clothes, they are our people, not Akito reinforcements."
Then, Oda Nagaken vaguely saw black figures under the torch, which were night clothes.
It is indeed one of our own.
“Hahaha, we have all worried in vain.” Oda Nagaken instantly became overjoyed and laughed.
“Kill the bright dog, kill it!”
“Kill it!”
The black figure rushing over from the opposite side was blowing a harsh whistle and shouting to kill him.
Listening to a burst of Japanese language, Oda Nagaken was even happier. These are our people, there is no mistake.
“Kill all the Ming Dogs and charge. Brothers on the opposite side, don’t pick us up. Go and support the leader. Don’t give the Ming Dogs a chance to breathe. We will follow! On the way here, look When we arrived at a camp, the Ming army had calmed down the turmoil and was arranging their troops. We don't have much time, so we can't waste a breath. Go and support the leader, we will kill him right now.”
A figure jumped out of the team in the darkness and ran towards Oda Nagaken from a distance while shouting at Oda Nagaken and the others. He got up, informed them of an urgent military situation, and urged Oda Nagaken to turn around and besiege the Ming army without wasting time.
"Hey! What you said makes sense! There are too many bright dogs! We can't delay! Let's kill them first, and you guys can follow up quickly!!"
Oda Nagaken suddenly became nervous when he heard that the Ming army was reorganizing its troops and was about to come to reinforce the Chinese army. Hearing the suggestion from the Japanese pirates on the opposite side, he deeply agreed. He immediately nodded without hesitation and led the twenty Japanese pirates under his command. He left immediately and went to support Nakamura Koji.
"Baga, why are you back? You're dead!" Nakamura Koji couldn't help but became furious when he saw Oda Nagaken's return.
"Nakamura-sama, please calm down. The reinforcements on the other side are not Akito's reinforcements, but our reinforcements." Oda Nagaken quickly explained.
“Our reinforcements?”
Nakamura Koji was stunned for a moment. The next second he heard a harsh whistle and the sound of a group of people dying. He squinted his eyes and heard Fuzzy saw the figure in black under the torch, and was immediately overjoyed.
"円西, 円西, our reinforcements are coming, the Ming army is dead! Hahahaha." Nakamura Koji laughed proudly.
"Hahaha, the Mingguos are so happy, it's our reinforcements that are coming." All the Japanese pirates also burst out laughing. (End of this chapter)
