Chapter 1877 Returned in triumph and was locked up outside the city

In the afterglow of the setting sun, like golden light, Zhu Pingan led the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army, draped in golden light, and led strings of captured Japanese pirates towards Suzhou City.

We are still walking the same way we came. Firstly, this road is a straight line and is the shortest route back to Suzhou City; secondly, on the way back, Zhu Pingan had people interrogate the Japanese prisoners and learned that the Japanese had set up an ambush in the woods behind the road along the river, so he returned by the original route. You can avoid collision with ambushed Japanese pirates.

Xu Hai ordered the Japanese pirates who were ambushing in the rear to ambush until the sun went down before they could pursue the large Japanese pirate army.

The sun is setting now. If you take the road along the river, you will most likely run into an ambush Japanese pirate.

The Zhejiang army was short of gunpowder and had prisoners with them. If they collided with the ambush Japanese pirates, they would not be able to gain any advantage.

So, it was better to return the same way. Zhu Ping'an also sent sentries to guard on the way to avoid accidents.

Fortunately, the journey was safe and we arrived at Suzhou City smoothly.

Zhu Ping'an knew that the city of Suzhou was now in turmoil and that everyone was on guard. Especially after Wang Jie surrendered to the Japanese pirates and defrauded the city, he was even more nervous. And the prefect Shang was highly nervous about defending the city and would rather achieve nothing than achieve nothing. Because of his excessive character, he sent people to Suzhou City early to report the results of the battle and inform him of the imminent arrival of the army.

Not only that, when he was still two miles away from Suzhou City, Zhu Pingan ordered his soldiers to slow down.

When he was only one mile away from Suzhou City, Zhu Ping'an ordered his soldiers to slow down further.

“When we return from a great victory, why don’t we see people in the city standing by to welcome us?”

“Also, it’s okay if the people in the city don’t come to welcome us. We stayed in the city. Why didn’t the Zhejiang Army come to greet us? It’s okay if they don’t come. Why didn’t Er Shunzi and the others come to greet us?”

Liu Dadao and others looked at the door closed and empty. Suzhou City, where no one greeted him, frowned and said.

Er Shunzi and the others were the commanders of the post sent by Zhu Pingan to report the results of the battle to Suzhou City in advance.

"Er Shunzi and the others should have been invited into the city to verify the authenticity of our results." Zhu Pingan thought of the reason.

"Ah?! The people in the city are suspicious of us?! Er Shunzi is still under their control?! What are the people in the city doing? We are fighting bloody battles outside, but they are treating us like this?!" Liu Dadao and others After people heard this, they couldn't help but be very dissatisfied with what was done in the city.

"Haha, stop complaining. This is a lesson learned in the city. The previous situation of Wang Zhao's "victorious return" is very similar to ours now. Wang Zhao surrendered to the Japanese pirates and almost succeeded in defrauding the city. If we hadn’t arrived in time to rescue, Suzhou City would have They are about to fall into the hands of the Japanese pirates. Isn’t it time for them to learn something wise? If they don’t have any memory at all, I will be angry.”

Zhu Ping’an smiled disapprovingly. He smiled and calmed the mood of his subordinates.

After a moment of appeasement, Zhu Ping'an led the Zhejiang army and continued forward. At a stone's throw from Suzhou City, he raised his right arm high and his soldiers stopped.

Seeing the arrival of the Zhejiang army, the city wall had already exploded.

"Master Zhu and the others have returned victorious."

"Look, there are still many prisoners behind, about three to five hundred. Master Zhu and the others have won another battle."< br>
"There were more than three to five hundred Japanese pirates. Just two-quarters of an hour ago, I went to the archery tower to clean up. The messenger sent by Lord Zhu came to report the results of the battle. Wasn't it that Magistrate Shang invited him into the city? I was outside. After hearing a few words, Mr. Zhu and the others won a great victory this time. When the Japanese pirates retreated, there were tens of thousands of them. However, Mr. Zhu and the others quickly killed them all, and only a few hundred Japanese pirates escaped. Call Chen Dong's Japanese chieftain was also captured alive by Mr. Zhu."

" Mr. Zhu is really talented, he is also the number one scholar, and he can lead troops in war. He is really a genius sent from heaven. "

A group of defenders on the city wall saw the Zhejiang army riding a horse with a string of extremely embarrassed Japanese pirates tied behind the horse. They couldn't help but get excited and praised them without hesitation.

"Hey, wait, don't you think this scene looks familiar?" One of the defenders suddenly thought of General Wang, and couldn't help but swallowed in fear, and pointed at the city outside the city with trembling fingers. Zhejun said.

"Does this scene look familiar? What are you talking about? Why are you half-talking? It's not smooth at all."

"Does this scene look familiar? What did you think of? You have something to say. Just tell me, let it go!"

The people around me urged impatiently.

"It's General Wang. He didn't surrender to the Japanese pirates. Isn't it the same when he led the Japanese pirates to deceive the city?! Wang traitor and his 1,000 troops went out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates, and more than 1,600 people came back. They claimed to have brought back 600 Many prisoners. Well, now, Mr. Zhu and his Zhejiang army had more than 900 people when they left. When they came back, We killed more than 1,300 people and brought back more than 400 prisoners. Doesn’t the scene look familiar to Wang Zhai? Of course, I don’t want the past to happen again, but what if it happens again?”

The defender swallowed once again and said with a trembling voice.

“Damn it, don’t tell me, this scene looks familiar, why do I feel a little cold on my back.”

“You mean, Mr. Zhu also surrendered to the Japanese pirates? , want to come to the city!"

“Damn it, stop talking nonsense, it’s scary, are the Japanese pirates coming again?! If Mr. Zhu also surrenders to the Japanese pirates, then there will be no one in our city who can fight? If the Japanese pirates come back, it will be dangerous ”

After the surrounding defenders heard this, they looked at the Zhejiang army outside the city and the string of Japanese pirate prisoners behind them, and they broke out in cold sweat.

The Japanese pirates were ferocious and treacherous, and the battle against the city was a nightmare that their defenders would never forget. They did not want to face the Japanese pirates again.

The Japanese pirates were ferocious, tough, and killed without blinking an eye. They chopped down their defenders just like chopping melons and vegetables. They could cut off their sabers with just one knife, causing their heads to roll and their blood to flow like rivers. Just close your eyes and you'll feel bad Dream.

"Ahem, Master Zhu and Wang Jie were different. That time, there were 600 Japanese pirates pretending to be prisoners. Now, Master Zhu has only about 400 prisoners. ." Some defenders forced themselves to find differences.

"Master Zhu is the number one scholar, so how could he be so stupid as to be exactly the same as the traitor Wang? The number of prisoners is different. Maybe it is a little trick to confuse us." Someone said in a conspiracy theory.

"Well, that makes sense." Many people nodded.

"Oh, that's not right. Although the number of prisoners is slightly different, the routine is the same, almost exactly the same. Mr. Zhu is the number one scholar, he won't be stupid enough to copy the traitor Wang's routine, right?!"

Someone raised doubts again.

“This is the great thing about Mr. Zhu. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. We all thought Mr. Zhu would not be stupid enough to copy the tricks of the traitor Wang, but he just did it. The trick of a traitor."

Some people soon retorted with conspiracy theories.

"Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. The most dangerous place is the safest place." Many people nodded immediately. (End of this chapter)
