Chapter 1771 The Japanese pirates come at night
At the fourth watch of the night, under the stars and the moon, the Japanese boats arrive at the sound of the old owl.
On the fourth watch in winter, the night is as thick as ink, and you can’t even see your fingers. It seems darker than the third watch.
"Wow, wow, wow."
In the darkness, Japanese boats appeared on the river one after another. The Japanese pirates in the cabins were bare-armed, shouting silently, and paddling hard. Breaking the water surface, the Japanese boats were propelled forward rapidly in the river. Wind lanterns were hung on the masts of the Japanese boats to guide the direction of the boats behind them.
One after another, the Japanese boats were like black pythons, with their scarlet eyes open, speeding towards Suzhou in the river.
The movement of the Japanese ship disturbed a group of old storks napping on the branches on the shore. They flapped their wings and soared into the sky. They flew over the Japanese ship and let out a sad, hoarse cry of "Wow - wow -". Voice.
"Hey, Mr. Xu is still very wise. We boarded the ship in the second watch, arrived at Taicang Haikou in the third watch, and already arrived in Suzhou under our noses in the fourth watch. It's winter, the sky is so dark, and it starts to rise again Despite the cold wind, everyone was still sleeping soundly, waiting for them to wake up from their sleep. , it is not the dawn that greets them, but us, the magic soldiers descending from the sky.”
Hojo Dozo stood on the bow, looking at the dark night, thinking of the scene of their magic soldiers descending from the sky, and Suzhou shivering. He couldn't help but laugh, and he was full of praise for Xu Hai, the initiator of this strategy.
"Where is it?" Xu Hai said modestly with a smile.
"Hojo, do you know what this hour is called in our Ming Dynasty?" Maye asked hoarsely.
"Isn't it the fourth update?" Hojo Dozo was stunned.
“The fourth watch in our Ming Dynasty is called the time of chickens, and it is also called the time of chickens and dogs, because this is the time when people sleep the most soundly and deeply, and when they can’t see their fingers, the most Suitable for cockcrow The dog-robber thing is just right for us. As the saying goes, the first watch is for people, the second watch is for gongs, the third watch for ghosts, the fourth watch for thieves, and the fifth watch for chickens. The fourth watch is our time!" Ma Ye licked her lips and looked at it. In the direction of Suzhou, he said hoarsely.
"We are not thieves, we are bandits. Bandits are more ferocious and powerful than thieves. Thieves are afraid of people, and people are afraid of bandits. We Japanese bandits are the best bandits among bandits!"
Hojo Dosan shook his head , said smugly.
"Haha, Hojo, Kou is not a good name in our Ming Dynasty. This is the name of the Nine Tribes."
Chen Dong smiled and shook his head.
"If you want to kill the Nine Tribes, you have to catch us. Haha, it’s not that I underestimate the Ming Army. We have fought against the Ming Army so many times. Those weak guys still want to kill our Nine Tribes. Let’s kill their Nine Tribes. It’s almost the same.”
Hojo Dozo said with a contemptuous smile.
"Hojo, don't underestimate the Ming army. Not all Ming armies are as weak as the Ming armies that we fought with before. A few days ago, Zhao Wenhua offered sacrifices to the sea, and Wang Zhi sent people to destroy it. We also sent people to destroy it. Well, in the end, of the more than 500 people, only less than ten escaped. , the rest of the army was wiped out. What the people who escaped said, some Ming troops were different from other Ming troops. After being attacked, they did not collapse at the first blow; especially a group of Zhejiang troops with ferocious firearms, which caused Nakamura Koji to be killed in the surprise attack. The army’s plan failed”
Xu Hai shook his head and reminded Beijiao of Dao Sandao.
"Haha, that's because King Hui didn't know who he was, so he actually asked Nakamura Koji to take charge of the command. Nakamura Koji is just an illegitimate son. What ability does he have? If I were to take charge of the command, the result would be different. "
Hojo Dosan shook his head disapprovingly, and then said, "Moreover, at the time of the sacrifice to the sea, we could not send a large army because we were afraid of exposing our whereabouts. We and King Hui sent a total of five hundred There are only a few people, and the Ming army on the scene has a total of 20,000 troops. This does not include the Ming people's navy and the army ambushed not far away. There are more than 500 people against more than 20,000 troops, plus a pig-headed commander. It’s weird to be undefeated.”
"Koji Nakamura and the others rested with us for three days before they went to attack the sea. During these three days, I had many contacts with him. Looking at his words and deeds, he is not incompetent." Xu Hai shook his head. .
“Haha, he’s just another armchair talker. He talks great but has no real skills.”
Hojo Dosan disagreed.
Hojo Dosan came from the Hojo clan, a wealthy family in the Kanto region of Japan. The wealthy Hojo family dominated Kanto and almost occupied the eight countries in the Kanto region.
Although Hojo Michizan was just a bastard from a branch of the Hojo clan, he was also a legitimate member of the Hojo clan. He looked down on Koji Nakamura, who was an illegitimate child, and believed that illegitimate children were domestic slaves.
Just a domestic slave!
In addition, when Nakamura Koji was resting in the forest, he had a very high self-esteem, was arrogant, and did not respect Hojo Dozo enough. Hojo Dozo was extremely dissatisfied with him and heard the news of Nakamura Koji's death. At that time, Hojo Dosan was even drunk with joy.
"Hojo, we have also discovered that the Zhejiang army that defeated Nakamura at the sea sacrifice site is stationed at Fengqiao Camp outside Suzhou City. Their firearms are very fierce." Xu Hai reminded again.
"The Zhejiang Army only has two thousand people. No matter how powerful the firearms are, they can only be used to show off their ferocity at a distance. Reloading is troublesome. Once engaged, the firearm is just a fire stick." Hojo Michizan said disapprovingly .
"Besides, this time and that time are the same. When we first offered sacrifices to the sea, we only sent more than 500 people, and they had 20,000 people. They were overwhelming. Now, we have more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. There are two thousand Zhejiang troops, and there are only less than ten thousand soldiers and horses in Suzhou city. We have the advantage in strength. Not to mention, we are still raiding in the dark, and they are still sleeping. Hehe, the sleeping people are not human beings, they are just two-legged sheep waiting to be slaughtered."
Hojo Dosan is very confident.
"In short, don't take it lightly." Seeing this, Xu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu. I am not someone who underestimates the enemy. I will use my full strength to swing my sword against every Akito."
Hojo Dosan raised his head and said.
Xu Hai twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, but said nothing more. He turned around and ordered the men behind him: "Come on, the river ahead will turn a corner. Suzhou City is very close at hand, only thirty miles away. Order to go down. , tell the children to be silent, not to make noise, not to alert others. Don't waste time looting the nearby towns, let's go straight to Suzhou City. There are mountains of gold, silver and jewelry waiting for us to pick up. There are countless fair-skinned and beautiful women with big butts and big breasts waiting for us! Let's go up."
"Yes." The men followed the order and left.
We are here in Suzhou City!
Gold and silver jewelry, here we come! Fair-skinned and beautiful lady, here we come!
Hojo Dozo, Maye, Chen Dong and others looked in the direction of Suzhou City, their eyes full of excitement.
Xu Hai was also very excited. After taking Suzhou City, their group of Japanese pirates were the most eye-catching Japanese pirates!
The momentum is no worse than that of Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi has never captured such a huge city!
By then, the number of thieves and Japanese pirates who came to Tuolin's lair to seek refuge would have doubled, and it would not be a problem to challenge Wang Zhi. (End of this chapter)
