Chapter 82 82 Encounter

Yes, not only the Jiujiang Guards, but all the guards transferred this time have been put on fire.

After the commander of the guards revealed the news that the Japanese pirates might have attacked Ningbo Fucheng, all the generals knew that they had to fight hard, otherwise they would definitely be held accountable afterwards.

Losing city and land was a serious crime in the Ming Dynasty. Before setting off, I knew that Huangyan County had been conquered by Japanese pirates. Taizhou Prefecture asked for help as if it were their own dead father. Here, Dinghai County was conquered by Japanese pirates again. Now it’s even more... It was reported that the Japanese pirates intended to attack Ningbo Prefecture.

For some reason, many people suddenly envied the Guanhaiwei people they met before. They were able to escape from the battlefield alive. Although they would definitely not lose the hat of being unfavorable in the battle, at least their lives were saved, even in the future. The court's investigation is nothing more than putting a blame on a dead person.

Although the living high-ranking officers of the guard command will definitely be affected, the main responsibility can be escaped, and the dead people bear the main blame.

But now Jiujiang Guard is different from several other guard posts. Running away without fighting is a sign of fear of the enemy. If the Japanese pirates were not discovered before, everyone could still run to Yuyao, but it is absolutely not possible now.

It’s a good thing that Ningbo Mansion was not lost. If Ningbo Mansion was lost, I don’t know how many people at the command level of the Guards would be killed.

"Sir, what is the final regulation at the military tent this afternoon? We are all willing to act according to orders, and we will never dare to disobey them."

Wu Zhankui suddenly said at this moment.

"We are all willing to act according to orders and will never disobey orders."

As Wu Zhankui finished speaking, several thousands of households around him and a dozen or so hundreds of households behind him all bowed in unison.

"Tomorrow, the Anqing Guard and the Luzhou Guard will be the front army, the Chuzhou Guard will be the right army, and we, the Jiujiang Guard, will be the left army. We will go out to fight against the Japanese pirates. After destroying the current Japanese pirates, the army will enter Ningbo Prefecture and rescue Cixi. County."

"Yes."

The general below shouted in unison.

With the end of the Jiujiang Guards Meeting, all the generals in the battalion experienced a sleepless night.

On the second day, the whole army broke out of camp again after breakfast. Anqing Guard was the front army, followed by Luzhou Guard, Chuzhou Guard, and finally Jiujiang Guard.

With such an arrangement, it is not surprising that most of the generals in the battalion know how the order of the queue came about.

It’s funny to say that the civil servant who accompanied the team on this expedition was a fifth-rank member of the Nanjing Military Department. He had turned a blind eye before when he arrived in Shaoxing and saw Japanese pirates. And these guards commanded But everyone is afraid of the enemy and wants to retreat to Yuyao City, so naturally they will not do it.

It is naturally dangerous to go directly to Taizhou, so I came to Shaoxing.

But the Japanese pirates were discovered. If thousands of troops fled to Shaoxing without fighting, Yuanwailang could imagine what would happen after returning.

Using the pressure of civilian officials, and knowing that the Japanese pirates intended to attack Ningbo Prefecture, they reluctantly made many commanders who were determined to avoid fighting pinch their noses and admit it, and have a fight with the discovered Japanese pirates.

It is best if you win, and if you fail to win, you will have an excuse to retreat.

As for the queue, it is the result of four commanders drawing lots.

No one wants to be a frontline soldier, but the combat power of several guard posts is so strong, so they can only swarm forward, hoping to eliminate the Japanese pirates in front of them through the force of numbers.

It cannot but be said that the commander of Jiujiang Wei was really lucky, and he actually got the best lottery.

After the military meeting ended, the news reached the ears of thousands and hundreds of households, and the previous dissatisfaction disappeared.

Soon, the previously bustling military camp was reduced to a mess. Only a dozen or so tents in the center were not demolished, and they were the tents of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War. , they want to stay here. This avenue leads directly to Yuyao County, which is very important. The Ministry of War stayed here to prevent Japanese pirates from bypassing the Japanese-suppressing army and making a sneak attack on Yuyao County.

Thousands of people and horses were dragging their feet and their morale was low. However, they could only advance eastward slowly under the whip of the general.

At this moment, the generals with some connections in the military camp must be riding on horses. They are all famous generals in the world who do not worry about victory before defeat.

According to previous information, this group of Japanese pirates only has a few hundred people, probably less than a thousand. If thousands of people from the four guard stations swarm them, there is still a chance of winning.

But the plan did not change quickly. After the army marched more than ten miles and entered Ningbo Mansion, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The Qianhu Post of Wu Zhankui’s right army was second in the Jiujiang Guard marching sequence. After marching for more than an hour, there was a sudden chaos in front of them, and there was a faint trace of the guard soldiers abandoning their helmets and trying to go back. He ran away, only to be beheaded by his general on the roadside.

Soon, the detective horses from Jiujiang Guard came back to deliver the news. They were approaching the villages and towns that had been plundered by Japanese pirates. Previously, the former army encountered chaos caused by a small group of Japanese pirates.

At this time, in accordance with the military orders above, the troops will begin to deploy and continue to move forward in combat formation, with the target being that village.

The Jiujiang Guards were assigned the task of guarding the left wing of the army. Naturally, the Qianhu Post of the former army began to turn left and speed up to catch up with the former army.

The Chuzhou Guards further ahead of them have also turned right, acting as the right wing of the army.

However, the shortcomings of several guards who were not used to training on weekdays were also exposed at this time. The formation change of the army was not only slow but also chaotic. Fortunately, the Japanese pirates did not seem to expect that the Ming army would come. Therefore, no large groups of Japanese pirates appeared at the beginning. If the Ming army was attacked at this time, the battle would not have to continue.

Just when the Ming army stopped and began to adjust their battle formations, the news that a large Ming army appeared ten miles outside the town also spread to the villages and towns.

"Qiu Ba from Guanhaiwei still dares to fight back?"

A man with dark skin and a strong build, who looked like he had been exposed to the rain at sea all year round, touched the top of his bare head, and then traced his palms along the back of his head. My hair touched my neck and I scratched it again.

This man is obviously not bald, he just shaved off the hair on the top and front of his head, which is the "Tsukiyo head" popular among Japanese warriors at this time, so that outsiders can see them for the first time. They mistakenly thought they were Japanese.

But because he is tall, speaks Chinese, and tells the truth, he can only deceive outsiders.

Anyone who has seen Japanese people knows that at this time, Japanese people were generally short in stature. There would be strong Japanese people who would come to become Japanese pirates. If they stayed in Japan and worked under any famous family, they might become Japanese pirates. One of the fierce generals of the Warring States Period.

"The flag doesn't look like Kankaiwei's. We've all seen the words Kankaiwei, but the people who came back said it's not."

A Japanese pirate below who also shaved his head into a Tsukiyo said.

"I just said that those guys have lost their courage, how can they dare to come and die? Is it someone from Linshan Guard?"

The Japanese pirate leader said suspiciously.

Although the pirates before this knew that the morale of the Ming army was low, discipline was lax, and they did not train much on weekdays, they were still afraid of the Ming Empire army that expelled the Tatar slaves. of.

This time, the Japanese pirates were forced into a desperate situation, so they gave it a try and rushed ashore to commit a robbery in a group manner.

Since the 26th year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty has intensified its efforts to suppress Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates' life is actually not very easy. This time they are just trying to survive.
