Chapter 2034 Reinforcement Victory
As soon as Jiang Zhixian and the others retreated to the inner courtyard, the Japanese pirates swarmed into the front yard, violently smashed a section of the courtyard wall, and pushed all four enemy towers in. When they arrived in front of the inner courtyard, the Japanese pirates climbed onto the enemy's platform one after another. With a grin, they bent their bows and arrows, and raised their muskets to aim at the more than 40 surviving people including the magistrate Jiang who resisted the defense in the inner courtyard.
Swish, swish, bang, bang, bang.
A hail of arrows and gunfire came down. Jiang Zhixian was wounded in the arm, and about ten more government officials and defeated soldiers lay down beside him.
The Japanese pirates continued to bend their bows and set arrows, and raised their firecrackers.
In this situation, Jiang Zhixian couldn't help but have a strong intuition in his heart - my life is at stake.
"How could I, the magistrate of Mingzhi County, die or fall into the hands of Japanese pirates!" Jiang Zhixian sighed. With a sound, he pulled out the long sword from his waist and placed it on his neck. With a strong force on his hand, he was about to kill himself.
"No, Lord County! Don't commit suicide until the last moment." His followers rushed forward and tried their best to stop him.
"It's over, it's over."
The rest of the government officials and the defeated soldiers also collapsed at this moment, with despair on their faces. They could not withstand a volley of Japanese pirates' fire.
"Surrender, we surrender! Stop shooting arrows, stop firing!" Some people couldn't bear it and began to plead.
“It’s too late to surrender now!”
“Surrender? Haha, you go down and ask our dead brothers if they agree?!”
The Japanese pirates smiled ferociously, Rejecting the man's surrender, he bent his bow and arrow again, and raised the blunderbuss
You have no trump card at all, and no value at all. Why give you a chance to surrender!
Seeing the Japanese pirates drawing long bows and raising fire guns, Jiang Zhixian and others couldn't help but close their eyes and wait for death to come. Just as they were waiting to die, they suddenly heard a commotion outside and a cry of killing.
Then, I saw the Japanese pirates on the enemy platform, as if they had seen something terrifying, they quickly changed direction, released arrows and opened fire. Then, I saw them hurriedly fleeing off the enemy platform like mice stepping off a lampstand.
"Withdraw, withdrew? The Japanese pirates withdrew?"
Jiang Zhixian looked in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the Japanese pirates could kill them all with just a trembling effort. , actually let them go, withdrew? Withdraw? ! Am I dead and having sweet dreams?
The remaining government officials and defeated soldiers also had expressions of disbelief. They couldn't believe it. They had half stepped into the gate of hell, and they actually escaped with their lives? !
How could the Japanese pirates suddenly let them live? !
Could it be that the Japanese pirates deliberately played tricks on them, like a cat playing with a mouse, pretending to let them live, and then made them think they had escaped with their lives, then suddenly appeared again, cruelly crushing their hopes, using bows and arrows Shoot them with a firecracker? !
Jiang Zhixian, a kind of government officials and defeated soldiers all looked at the courtyard wall with trepidation, very afraid that the Japanese pirates would suddenly show up again and said with a ferocious smile, "Hahahahaha, I fooled you. I thought I could escape." Damn it, I lied to you, die now!"
One second, two seconds, three seconds, there was no movement on the courtyard wall.
There was a burst of noisy sounds outside, shouts of killing, curses, and the sound of firecrackers, which came to the ears of Magistrate Jiang and the others.
"What's going on outside?"
The government officials and the defeated soldiers looked at each other, and then looked at Magistrate Jiang.
Jiang Zhixian also looked confused.
Just when they were at a loss, suddenly a head poked out from the wall of the courtyard and said "Is there anyone there?", which startled them. Some of them even sat down in fright. He fell to the ground, and a stain of water appeared uncontrollably in his crotch.
“It’s great that there are still people alive.” The head said with a look of surprise.
Then, a burst of footsteps came, and then a deep voice sounded from outside the courtyard wall, "The county magistrate Jiang is here, my general Li Fengshi, on the order of Governor Tu, led three thousand Shandong spearmen under his command to rescue Jiangyin, but the rescue was late. , Jiang Zhixian was frightened. Jiang Zhixian can rest assured that the Japanese pirates have been defeated. "
It turns out that reinforcements are coming. No wonder the Japanese pirates turned around and ran away without bothering to deal with us. The reinforcements are coming!
Everyone was overjoyed.
"General Li, I am here. Thank you General Li for leading the army to the emergency rescue and saving my life. I am very grateful."
Chiang Zhixian hurriedly crossed the courtyard wall thank.
"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, I want to thank General Li and all the soldiers in person." After Jiang Zhixian thanked him, he quickly ordered people to open the door.
"Don't you need to verify your identity, county magistrate? In case it's a Japanese pirate," he reminded me.
"If they really want to kill us, why do the Japanese pirates go through so much trouble? We have just fired a salvo and we are dead. Open the door!"
Jiang Zhixian ordered without hesitation.
The courtyard door opened, and Li Fengshi, wearing armor and leading a group of tough soldiers, walked into the backyard of the county government office and greeted Magistrate Jiang with clasped fists.
"Thank you, General Li, for saving all of our lives, as well as the lives of my family." Magistrate Jiang bent down and thanked him.
"Mr. Jiang is too polite. This is the responsibility of the general." Li Fengshi clasped his fists in return and continued, "Governor Tu repeatedly told the general that he must save Jiang Zhixian Zhouquan and see that Jiang Zhixian is fine. , the general will be relieved, that’s fine I told Governor Tu: Li Xiaoer, you lead 300 elite troops to protect the safety of Jiangzhi County, and I will lead the army to pursue the Japanese pirates."
South Zhili Governor Tu Dashan indeed repeatedly told Li Fengshi that he must do his best to rescue. Jiang Zhixian was out of danger.
The reason for this explanation is that Jiang Zhixian's father is an old friend of Tu Dashan. How can he not save the son of an old friend when he is in trouble?
After Li Fengshi made arrangements, he hurriedly said goodbye to Jiang Zhixian with fists clasped in his fists, "Jiang Zhixian, the Japanese pirates have been defeated. This opportunity must not be missed before it comes again. I will pursue the Japanese pirates, expand the results of the battle, and weaken the Japanese pirates as much as possible, so that He doesn’t dare to be so presumptuous!”
"The Japanese pirates have many tricks. General Li must not fall into the Japanese pirates' tricks," Jiang Zhixian said with concern.
"Haha, don't worry, Magistrate Jiang. After the Japanese invaders captured Guixian, they divided their troops into two groups. They dispersed in the city, burned, killed and looted, and besieged the county government that Magistrate Jiang refused to defend. Relax. I was alert. I led a large army, with many men and horses bound in hooves, to attack them unexpectedly. They suddenly rushed out from behind the Japanese pirates who were besieging the county government, and killed the Japanese pirates by surprise. Dozens of Japanese pirates were killed. People. The Shandong spearmen under my command were brave and good at fighting. Once the spear formation came out, the Japanese pirates were invincible. They defeated the Japanese pirates in front of the Yamen and then in the square. They killed dozens of Japanese pirates in formation and fled. Nearly a hundred Japanese pirates fled outside. The corpse of the Japanese pirate cannot be faked. "
Li Fengshi laughed and said, pointing outside, and said confidently, inviting the magistrate Jiang to go out and see the corpse of the Japanese pirate.
Jiang Zhixian went out with Li Fengshi and others, and sure enough he saw nearly a hundred Japanese pirate corpses outside the Yamen.
It is true that they are all the corpses of Japanese pirates. These Japanese pirates had fought with Jiang Zhixian, and even if they turned into ashes, Jiang Zhixian would recognize them.
Clothes and hairstyle cannot be disguised in such a rush. Thinking back to the scene of the Japanese pirates' hasty retreat one second before they were all driven away, Jiang Zhixian couldn't help but admired, "General Li Guo is also a general."
