Chapter 1853 The Ambush of Japanese Pirates
While Zhu Ping'an was in the dense forest ravine, Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates were going eastward on the river.
“Order the ship to slow down a little more.”
Xu Hai stood at the bow of the ship and stared behind him, but still found no trace of the Ming army. The location of the ambush army behind was also quiet. He ordered again willingly.
After Xu Hai's order was issued, the Japanese pirate fleet slowed down again and traveled at a turtle speed on the river.
In this way, after walking slowly for about a stick of incense, the rear was still quiet and there was no movement at all.
“I thought that the man named Zhu was a brave and resourceful person. Even if he did not lead the army to pursue, he would send people to pursue him. Unexpectedly, I was wrong. I won’t come out in the city.”
Chen Dong shook his head and sighed in disappointment.
"The man named Zhu is a clever man. I admit this. Our trip fell short because of his fault. As for his bravery, I didn't see this. He is just a scholar and he knows a lot about military affairs." , he is also a weak scholar, how can he be brave? Chasing him out of the city is in line with his characteristics as a weak scholar. If Zhu Pingan is to fight with me, I will chop off his head within three moves!"
Maye stood side by side with Chen Dong and Xu Hai. People around him resented Zhu Pingan deeply and accused him of being resourceful and courageous.
"Actually, this is what I expected. Zhu has already made enough achievements this time, and there is no need to venture out of the city. For him, if he wins the pursuit out of the city, it is just the icing on the cake. If he fails, it will be a disaster. His achievements have been greatly reduced. If it were me, I would make the same choice. It's just a pity that I want to return the favor before leaving." Xu Hai let out a long sigh and said with disappointment.
"Brother Xu, it's nothing. The days are long, and there will always be a time to return the favor." Chen Dong patted Xu Hai on the shoulder.
"That's it, let him look good sooner or later!" Maye also said.
"Yes, what Brother Chen and Brother Ma said is true. Today's revenge will be repaid generously in the future!" Xu Hai nodded.
"The ambush men, do you want them to withdraw?" Chen Dong asked. The elite Japanese pirates have been ambushing the rear for almost two hours. It seems that the Ming army has no courage to pursue them. Is that possible? Withdrawn.
After hearing Chen Dong's inquiry, Xu Hai waved his hand and rejected Chen Dong's idea without thinking.
"Don't worry, just let them continue to ambush. Maybe Zhu wants to wait until we are far away and safe, then go out of the city and pretend to pursue him, that is, an armed parade. This can also be done Get a chase and expel We may have credit for it. Are there many examples of Ming people doing this?”
“If the person named Zhu has this idea, haha, it’s just a surprise for him.”
Xu Hai laughed as he spoke.
He really hopes that Zhu Pingan will have this idea, so that he can take revenge.
Therefore, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.
Therefore, when Chen Dong asked whether to withdraw from ambushing the Japanese pirates, he rejected it so decisively.
"Send the order and let the lurking elites continue to ambush until sunset. If Akito still doesn't chase after the sun goes down, let them withdraw. During this period, you must treat me well. Ambush, no noise, no movement Move around like a dead person, don't make any movement at all. If someone exposes his traces and scares away Mingren, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
In order to prevent the ambush Japanese pirates from losing their patience, Xu Hai Someone was sent to give them the order again.
Strictly order them to continue to ambush.
It can be said that Xu Hai's order was very timely. When he sent the order to the Japanese pirates to run all the way and arrived at the Japanese ambush area, the ambush Japanese pirates were no longer serious at the beginning and became lazy and careless.
The ambush area chosen by the Japanese pirates was just where the shore road must pass. There was a hill here, and there was a dense forest on the hill without even a trail. If we pursue the pursuit along the river towards Taicang, we must pass through this avenue.
The Japanese pirate who sent the order had almost reached the latent area along the road, and the Japanese pirate in charge of guarding the latent area discovered his traces.
Obviously slacking off.
The Japanese pirate who delivered the order still remembered the time when he came to deliver the order for the first time today. At that time, these elites had not long been ambushing here. He was still two miles away from the ambush area, and the vigilant Japanese pirates discovered his traces. .
Now, almost reaching the ambush area, the vigilant Japanese pirates discovered that they were not slacking off.
When they arrived at the ambush area, the Japanese pirates who sent the order found that the Japanese pirates inside were even more slack. Only less than half of the Japanese pirates were decent, and most of the other Japanese pirates were not talkative. Some Japanese pirates were talking in low voices, communicating that they were strong. Talking about the experience of robbing civilian girls and chopping up the old and the weak, they were all excited; some Japanese pirates were already half asleep while eating peanuts; some were lying in the grass and sleeping soundly, snoring loudly.
“吆西,but the head Are you asking us to go back to the ship? It’s too cold today. We’ve been waiting for more than two hours in vain. My brothers are freezing.”
“Idiot Matsui, it must be so. We’ve all been drinking here The cold wind has blown out for an hour. If the Ming army pursues If he had come, he would have been chasing him. If he hasn't come yet, it means that Mingren has no courage to chase him. It is useless to wait any longer. "
A group of lurking Japanese pirates saw the warning Japanese pirates leading the Japanese pirates coming. , started talking in a flurry of words.
This is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the cold wind is lurking here. How can it be as comfortable as being in the cabin.
"Baga! Fortunately, you are still elites! Look what you have become! Are you ambush?! Who told you to drink? The smell of wine can travel half a mile with the wind. You are like this Isn’t it self-exposure? ”
“ Leader Xu has an order to continue the ambush until the sun sets. If the Ming people have not come after you, you can retreat. The leaders will leave ten ships for you in Taicang. During the ambush, you must act like dead men. lurk well, if it's because If anyone exposes his traces, the leaders will kill you to sacrifice the flag!”
“Don’t blame me for not reminding you, the leaders are simmering in anger because they failed to capture Suzhou City. If you offend the leaders! , there will be absolutely no burial place, this point , I can assure you! If any of you want to try it, you’d better leave your last words in advance.” After giving the Japanese pirates a lesson, they conveyed Xu Hai's order.
Although the ambush of Japanese pirates was somewhat disapproving, after all, as the Japanese pirates who sent the order said, the Suzhou strategy failed, and the leaders were all holding back their anger and had no place to vent their anger. They did not dare to offend the leaders. They laid an ambush seriously one by one, not daring to chat, not daring to sleep, not to mention drinking
