Chapter 1796 I have a clever plan
The sun rises high, and the Japanese army loses its troops and generals in front of the Maple Bridge Formation. The Japanese army retreats for more than ten miles and is stationed by the river, with a thick cloud of defeated troops hanging above their heads. The spirit was no longer as high as when we boarded the ship.
Bury the pot to make rice.
GUDUGUDU
What was being cooked in the pot was rice and corn, without even a drop of meaty smell. A group of Japanese pirates gathered around the stove dejectedly, waiting for the rice to be heated over the fire. This bland rice porridge further demoralized the Japanese pirates.
Due to the beacon fire warning of the Zhejiang Army, the common people within a radius of about 30 miles of Suzhou City had learned of the bad news of the Japanese pirates in advance. They had already fled with their young and old, their families, their belongings, and their pigs and sheep. .
The people took away all the belongings they could take away, and those that could not be taken away were buried or hidden underground.
The Japanese pirates retreated here and also sent people to plunder nearby villages and towns with the intention of robbing property and livestock. Unfortunately, they visited several villages in a row, but they were all empty, and no ordinary people could be found in a short time. The hidden property can only be returned empty-handed.
The three Japanese chieftains Xu Hai, Chen Dong and Maye also sat around a simple pot. They also cooked rice and corn in the pot. The only difference was that they also cooked rice and corn together in the pot. I caught three palm-sized river fish.
These three fish were caught by the Japanese pirates at the river. Time was tight, and the Japanese pirates only caught these three fish.
As Japanese chiefs, they naturally got into their pot.
"Damn little thief! Damn Zhejiang army! Seven thousand people! It caused so many losses to our army!"
After Chen Dong got the statistics of casualties and losses, , couldn't help but cursed in anger, furious.
"Oh, I was careless. I asked just now. Before the explosion, some people also saw the traces of ignited fuses, but they did not care about it. As a result, so many people were lost, and even Hojo died in hatred. Finally."
Maye sighed, but when she mentioned Hojo Yinhen, she had a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"Every time you take a bite, you gain wisdom. This defeat is also a good thing. It lets us know that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people!"
Xu Hai squinted his eyes and said slowly, his eyes like a wounded wolf. Looking in the direction of Fengqiao Camp, "No one will fall twice in the same ditch. This time we lost so many people, mainly because they were injured by the gunpowder buried by the Zhejiang Army. From now on, we will all have an extra pair of eyes, Especially when fighting against the Zhejiang Army, if you check the battlefield in advance and pay attention, you will be able to eliminate the fuse and gunpowder in advance, and you will never make the same mistake as today."
"That's right what Brother Xu said. ." Chen Dong and Maye nodded in agreement. They both believed that they suffered from carelessness this time. Once they paid attention carefully, they would never give the Zhejiang army another chance to detonate the buried gunpowder.
"It's okay. We all have the strength. If we are allowed to make such a mistake, we still have an army of 26,000. The Zhejiang army only has 2,000 soldiers and horses, and we have at least caused them a lot of damage just now. Hundreds of casualties, the Zhejiang army has about 1,560 soldiers at the moment; the defenders of Suzhou City seem to have nearly 10,000 people, but in fact, except for the soldiers, There are also the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the number of real combatable troops is only about 4,000. Our strength is five times that of theirs. The advantage lies with me. Suzhou City is still ours, just like the fish in the pot. "
Xu Hai picked up the horse spoon and filled a large bowl of porridge for Chen Dong and Maye, each with a river fish in the bowl, and said confidently.
"Brother Xu, having said that, the loss of troops this time is not light, and the morale of the men has been seriously damaged. If you don't believe it, look at them. Everyone is dejected. Since we started the uprising, have we ever suffered such a defeat?"
< br>Chen Dong took the bowl of porridge from Xu Hai, pointed at the dejected Japanese pirates around him, and sighed.
"Yes, with such morale, it is difficult to attack the city, let alone the Zhejiang Army as a roadblock."
Maye also sighed.
As for the Zhejiang Army led by Zhu Pingan, Maye felt a little scared in her heart. The Zhejiang Army's firearms were too powerful.
"Oh, what should the Zhejiang Army have to fear? If not for this explosion, the Zhejiang Army would have been captured by us. We had already reached the front of the Zhejiang Army's formation, and the people at the front were already in close combat with the Zhejiang Army. A few more In just one breath, the Zhejiang Army's position has been crushed by us, and we are all enjoying a feast in the Zhejiang Army camp!"
Xu Hai took a bite of the fish and chewed it with thorns. , swallowed and said hoarsely.
"Well, that's true. If it weren't for the Zhejiang Army's lack of martial ethics, insidious deception, hidden gunpowder, and sudden detonation, the Zhejiang Army would have been wiped out at this moment. Zhu Ping'an is really treacherous, such an insidious and cunning person It makes no sense that he can win the first prize!"
Chen Dong nodded vigorously, feeling angry and regretful, and in the end he could only scold Zhu Ping'an for being cunning and cunning.
"Fight! Since we almost crushed the Zhejiang Army just now, how about we storm the Zhejiang Army's position again after dinner?! Last time we were able to attack the Zhejiang Army's formation in close combat, and we can definitely do it this time. . This time we will make a difference. Yizhi, carefully check the battlefield, check out all the gunpowder and fuses, and not give Zhu Ping'an's son a chance to bury the gunpowder to detonate again. He will definitely be able to break through the Zhejiang army's position and cut off Zhu Ping'an's head!"
< br>
Maye took a sip of the soup, grinned when she was burned, threw the porridge bowl to the ground angrily, and suggested to Xu Hai and Chen Dong.
"Brother Ma, this is a good suggestion. We have suffered such a big loss this time. The Zhejiang Army must not have thought that we would go back so quickly. This carbine will definitely catch him by surprise. We will repay him well." The hatred of losing troops and generals ! When the Zhejiang Army's formation is broken and Zhu Ping'an is captured alive, I'll let him suffer the humiliation of his crotch!"
After hearing this, Chen Dong's eyes couldn't help but shine, and he was very happy with Ma Ye's suggestion. I agree and can't wait to seek revenge on Zhu Pingan.
Immediately, Maye and Chen Dong looked at Xu Hai, waiting for Xu Hai's reaction.
In their Japanese pirate alliance, Xu Hai still has a relatively large say. The Japanese pirates under Xu Hai have the largest number and strong combat effectiveness. Moreover, Xu Hai is known to be resourceful and is the brains of the alliance.
If you want to make a comeback and attack the Zhejiang Army's positions again, you must get Xu Hai's approval before you can go.
Under the expectant gazes of the two people, Xu Hai shook his head slightly.
This immediately disappointed Chen Dong and Maye. They looked at Xu Hai dissatisfied and asked, "Why not? Brother Xu is afraid of the Zhejiang Army? Just now Brother Xu said, 'The Zhejiang Army has What's there to be afraid of? This is a slap in the face Isn’t it too fast?”
“It’s not that we are afraid of the Zhejiang Army, but it is not appropriate to attack the Zhejiang Army now. Yes, if we regroup and kill him, we will definitely break through the Zhejiang Army’s position and unseat Zhu Pingan. dog head, But have you ever thought that the sky is already bright this time and we have no place to hide? As soon as our side returns with carbines, the Zhejiang Army will know that the Zhejiang Army has just won and its morale is high. With the sharpness of the Zhejiang Army’s firearms, we will not be able to hide. It can be captured The Zhejiang Army will also lose thousands of men. Now the morale of our army has been seriously damaged. If we let them risk such heavy damage and attack the Zhejiang Army, things may change."
Xu Hai sneered when he heard this. Said lightly.
"What should we do? Can't we retreat? Then we will become the laughing stock of everyone. How can we hold our heads up in front of our peers." Chen Dong and Maye said dissatisfied.
"How can we retreat before Suzhou City is conquered?" Xu Hai shook his head vigorously.
“You won’t attack even if you are successful, and you won’t retreat even if you retreat. Are you here to enjoy the mountains and rivers?” Maye sneered.
“I have a clever plan to break the city.” Xu Hai smiled slightly. (End of this chapter)
