Chapter 1806 Inquiry


Chapter 1806: Inquiry

After Magistrate Shang left from the east gate, he went to the north gate and northwest gate. He did the same thing as he did at the east gate. He also reminded the guards to be careful of the Japanese pirates deceiving the enemy. Go out of the city to chase Japanese pirates.

The soldiers at the North Gate and the Northwest Gate felt somewhat similar to General Wang about the reminder from the Prefect, and felt that the victory they had won with blood and sweat was being underestimated.

In these two defenses of the city, we shed blood and shed tears, used real swords and spears, and fought hard to defeat the Japanese pirates.

Why did Zhu Ping'an win because of his ability, and why did we win because the Japanese pirates faked defeat? !

We veterans on the battlefield, our city is high and the pond is deep, are we still inferior to the bandits who have only been in Zhaoan for a few months and the mud-legged people who have just put down their hoes? !

Aren’t you being too kind to one?

"Don't worry, sir. We will guard the city carefully to prevent the Japanese pirates from taking advantage of us." The soldiers responded with complicated emotions.

The next day, the last darkness before dawn, it was dark and cold, the wind was biting and filled with hazy fog.

A carrier pigeon flew down into the Zhejiang Army camp in the fog. There was a mailbox tied to the pigeon's leg. The soldiers who had been waiting in the pigeon loft immediately took off the mailbox tied to the pigeon's leg. He trotted to report to Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an opened the secret message and browsed it at a glance.

This is Liu Mu's handwriting.

Through secret messages, Zhu Ping'an learned about Liu Mu and Liu Dadao's situation after they went out, as well as the news they inquired about.

After they broke out of the camp yesterday, they encountered several groups of Japanese pirates who chased and intercepted them. Relying on the fast speed of the cavalry, they fought and retreated. After paying the price of five people being slightly injured, they finally escaped without any danger. The Japanese pirates chased and intercepted them. After escaping from the Japanese pirates, Liu Mu and Liu Dadao split into two groups. Liu Mu led his people to monitor the Japanese pirates, while Liu Dadao led his people to look for the people of Xingcun Village in the wild.

The surrounding area of ​​ten miles was raided several times by the Japanese pirates. Those who were not well hidden were captured by the Japanese pirates. Those who were well hidden were not so easy to find. Some surviving people were worried about being caught by the Japanese pirates. Hidden in more remote places.

Liu Dadao led his rangers to search for a long time before they found two well-hidden surviving households before yesterday evening.

One surviving family did not know anything about it. They had been hiding in a cellar in the forest and knew nothing about the outside world. They only knew that the Japanese pirates had searched the woods many times and almost found their hiding place again. cellar, but fortunately they were not found in the end.

Another family was hiding in the reeds by the river. They were watching a lot of people in the reeds. The Japanese caught many hiding people and tied their hands with ropes. The line stretched for more than a hundred meters. , I am afraid there must be hundreds of people. I vaguely heard what the Japanese pirates said. Those who were captured were lucky. Their leaders had instructions not to kill indiscriminately. They were allowed to join the Japanese pirates' gangs and drink hot food.

Liu Dadao took people ten miles away to look for surviving people. They found many households ten miles away, and several households had escaped from within ten miles. They all said they had seen Japanese pirates arresting people, and they arrested them. There were hundreds of people.

Liu Mu led his men to monitor the Japanese pirate camps outside the east gate, north gate and northwest gate of Suzhou City. From a distance, he could not see clearly the situation of the Japanese pirate camps. If he ventured to get closer, he would be in danger of being exposed, and he was almost blocked by the Japanese pirates. Upright.

In order to find out the situation in the Japanese pirate camp, Liu Mu took the risk and led a team of 20 Japanese pirates to ambush in a forest. In order to avoid making too much noise and attracting other Japanese pirates, Liu Mu and the others did not dare to use firecrackers. Instead, they used bows and arrows and bayonets. Fortunately, they were calculated mentally and unintentionally, and the cotton armor had strong protective power. They fired a round of bows and arrows first, and then went into battle with bayonets. After paying the price of two people being seriously injured and three others slightly injured, they were all wiped out. This Japanese pirate team.

Liu Mu selected nineteen people from the rangers under his command, put on Japanese pirate clothes with him, and took advantage of the night to sneak into the Dongmen Japanese pirate camp.

The Japanese pirates had no military discipline at all. The Japanese pirates standing guard at the gate of the camp simply asked why they didn't catch the common people.

Liu Mu replied that they were unlucky. They plowed the ground three feet and failed to find the hiding people, so they had to return without success.

The Japanese pirates at the gate of the camp just laughed. Then you will have no luck. Those who capture the common people can eat meat and drink wine. Those who do not capture the common people can only eat chaff. The dish is ready.

Liu Mu pretended to be dejected and led his men into the Japanese pirate camp.

Japanese pirates are a mixed bag, and their personnel are messy. In addition to real Japanese, there are also many Ming people who have taken refuge as Japanese pirates, including frustrated scholars, failed businessmen, rogues on the street, and those who do not abide by the rules. Wild monks, desperate people, etc.

And even though he is a real Japanese, he looks very similar to Akito. Except for his hair style, accent, and slightly shorter stature, he is almost the same as Akito.

It is also because of this that many Japanese pirates disguise themselves as officers, soldiers or civilians, sneak into the city to be attacked in advance, kill people, set fire to cause destruction, or cooperate with the inside and outside to attack suddenly, etc. This trick has been used by the Japanese pirates time and time again.

Of course, it is easy for Japanese pirates to disguise themselves as Ming people, and it is also easy for Ming people to disguise themselves as Japanese pirates. Liu Mu and the others managed to sneak into the Japanese pirate camp without any danger.

There was even more chaos in the Japanese pirate camp. The east and west of the camp were chaotic and disorderly. The Japanese pirates also had no discipline and gathered in small groups.

After Liu Mu led his men into the Japanese pirate camp, he felt that as long as he didn't casually hang out in front of the Japanese pirates' high-level tents, there should be no risk of exposure.

When a Japanese pirate asked him why he hadn't seen you before, Liu Mu always excused himself by saying that he had only come to Tuolin's lair some time ago to seek refuge.

Fortunately, since the great Japanese chieftain Hojo Dosan was killed yesterday when he attacked the Zhejiang army's position, the Japanese pirates under his command were divided among Xu Hai, Maye and Chen Dong. Xu Hai had many more Japanese pirates. The twenty-something faces of Liu Mu and the others were not eye-catching at all. They were regarded as Japanese pirates under the command of Hojo Dosan who had been carved up.

Newcomers are always bullied, especially Liu Mu and the others, who had not yet captured the people from the wild. As soon as they entered the camp, they were captured by a small Japanese pirate leader and asked to guard the newly captured people and stay on duty at night.

This is the pillow that comes from Doze. Of course Liu Mu will not refuse, but he has an expression on his face that is unwilling but unable to resist.

Liu Mu and the others guarded the captured people all night, and naturally figured out everything.

The Japanese pirates captured these people, shaved their heads into real Japanese hairstyles, changed them into Japanese clothes, and even trained them for several hours in an emergency, just to prepare them tomorrow Participate in the siege early in the morning.

Liu Mu looked for an opportunity to chat with the Japanese pirates who were also guarding him. He made some insinuations and guidance, and then he found out.

These captured people were sent to die. It was said that they were allowed to attack the city, but in fact they were sent to die.

Almost all of the more than 800 people captured earlier were killed in the two sieges this morning and evening.

As for why the common people were allowed to die, the low-level Japanese pirates who were guarding them did not know. They only knew that it was ordered by Xu Hai and other Japanese chiefs. (End of this chapter)
