The two Mr. Qian guessed correctly. If they fled with their troops, they would definitely encounter Xiao Feng's troops, no matter which direction they were heading.
There are two roads in total, one is the direction of the 3,000-man army, and the other is the direction of Xiao Feng coming from Jiaxing. Of course, they might meet Xiao Qin first.
Zhou Dao, the altar owner of Taicang branch altar, has gray hair and is not young. At this time, he is looking at the two Japanese pirates who came to report the news suspiciously.
Although both of them are said to be Japanese pirates, one of them is actually Chinese. However, he has been among the Japanese pirates for a long time and has acquired a lot of Baga atmosphere, and his speech is a bit stiff.
"You said that Young Master Luo is besieging Taicang? The Holy Envoy clearly said that he would attack Xiao Feng before the large army arrives in Taicang. Why is he besieging Taicang?"
"Master Zhou, Young Master Luo said that if we don't capture Taicang, we are afraid that when we attack Xiao Feng, we will be counter-attacked by Taicang Guards and Xiao Feng's troops!"
Zhou Dao laughed loudly: "What nonsense, the guards dare to come out to attack you? Young Master Luo is too worried!"
The two Japanese pirates shook their heads together: "No, Young Master Luo said that there is something wrong with this group of guard soldiers. According to common sense, they should have run away, instead of waiting to die in Taicang County. So if this group of people come out to attack, It’s not impossible!”
Zhou Dao nodded repeatedly: "Thoughtful, Young Master Luo is thoughtful! But we received the order from the Holy Envoy, asking us to attack Xiao Feng along the way, but this is in a dilemma.
We only have a few dozen brothers. We can deceive people, stir up trouble and cause some destruction. But if we really want to fight, we have to rely on you! "
While everyone was hesitating, a crow landed in front of Zhou Dao, and Zhou Dao was stunned.
"It's bad luck to see crows in the morning! Go away!"
that crow
Not only did he not leave, he even moved closer to Zhou Dao and cooed. Zhou Dao reached out to grab it suspiciously, only to find a paper roll on his lap.
Then I discovered that the black hair was smoked, and there were obvious signs of being burned by fire. This was a fucking pigeon!
Zhou Dao opened the scroll tremblingly: "The main altar is under attack. Notify Young Master Luo and march quickly to attack Xiao Feng!"
The two Japanese pirates brought blackened pigeons and paper rolls to Luo Wenlong, who was commanding the siege of the county town. Luo Wenlong gritted his teeth after reading the note.
"Abandon the county seat and march quickly. The further away from the county seat, the better it is to meet Xiao Feng. Since the county seat cannot be taken down, there is a possibility of being flanked. The farther away, the safer it is!"
At this time, the three thousand men, horses and large RV who were about to be flanked were still crawling slowly on the road. It's not that they don't want to go fast, marching on two legs can't really go any faster. What's more, Xiao Feng didn't restrict them from marching in a hurry!
Anyway, Taicang is not that far away, so we reached it in just a few days. When we arrived in Taicang, it was said that we were going to fight Japanese pirates. This wasn't a nice job. Just go slow if you can, wouldn't you?
Because it is a mixed establishment of two thousand guard soldiers and one thousand battalion soldiers, among the three who lead thousands of soldiers, the one who is a battalion soldier is naturally the boss. He also has the title of newly promoted guerrilla general. He has indeed fought hard battles. of.
Therefore, the scouting and rearrangement matters during the march were arranged by guerrillas Qianhu, who consciously shouldered heavy responsibilities and were very cautious.
Especially for the protection of the large RV, we did not dare to slack off at all. We set up camp at night, and three thousand households and soldiers gathered around the large RV to protect it.
We were marching that day, and the two scouts in front were two miles away from the main force.
Come to investigate. The scouts were the only two people in the infantry team who had horses. The two of them always kept a certain distance apart to avoid being ambushed.
The scout in front suddenly stopped his horse, signaled a stop to his companions from a distance, and then approached the roadside, carefully checking the dead grass and shrubs on the roadside, and seemed to have discovered some clues.
After watching for a while, he took off the bow and arrow on his back and started to draw the bow against the dead grass and shrubs. Then there was a scream, and the scout was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse. The scout behind immediately turned his horse and ran back, his whole body clinging tightly to the horse's back.
On the originally peaceful official roadside, countless Japanese pirates suddenly appeared. They bent their bows and set arrows. The horse was hit by two arrows. However, as long as the trained military horse did not hit the leg joint, it would only run away after being injured. Faster!
Seeing the scout disappear into the smoke in the blink of an eye, Luo Wenlong knew that there was no chance of a perfect sneak attack, and he could only hit his opponent before he was able to gain a firm footing, so he waved the Japanese sword.
"Charge! The enemies are all infantry and garrison soldiers. We have 600 people fighting 3,000 people, and we are still on flat ground. We have never fought such a rich battle!"
At this time, the large army also saw the scout who was running back desperately. The scout yelled on his horse: "There is an ambush, it's a Japanese pirate, it's a Japanese pirate!"
Japanese pirates! Everyone's heart trembled, and the guerrilla Qianhu shouted: "How many people?"
"I don't know, a lot, a lot!"
The guard soldiers suddenly panicked and began to move back quietly. Guerrilla Qianhu calmed down and shouted loudly.
"Master Xiao has an order. If the guards dare to escape in groups of three, they will be killed by the soldiers in the camp! If the soldiers in the camp dare to escape, hundreds of households will be killed! If a hundred households dare to escape, thousands of households will be killed.
kill!
Master Xiao's three hundred cavalry are following behind. Anyone who dares to cause trouble or escape before the battle will be killed!
Mr. Xiao said that if you kill a Japanese pirate, you will be rewarded fifteen taels of silver based on the number of Japanese pirate heads! Brothers, Japanese pirates are humans too. They are afraid of birds, so hold your ground and fight them! "
The army then stabilized its position, and the battalion soldiers exerted their backbone at this time. They drew out their steel knives and looked at their companions on the left and right.
"Brothers, it's better to die in the hands of the enemy than to die in the hands of one of your own! Mr. Xiao said that Langzhen is very effective against Japanese pirates. Remember to swing hard for a while. We three brothers are all relying on you!"
The general's encouragement, the steel swords of his companions, the legendary three hundred cavalry following behind, and the huge bonus. These four pillars miraculously stabilized this team.
When the Japanese pirates rushed over, howling like wolves and ghosts, they faced an army that was huddled behind shields, not very brave, but did not flee.
Luo Wenlong's brows furrowed. Was this an evil attack today? Encountered two groups of officers and soldiers who were not afraid of death in one day? Didn't Xiao Feng just become the governor of Jiangnan? What ability does he have to make these guys suddenly stop being timid?
Since the opponent has not messed up their position, the Japanese pirates' usual strategy of breaking in while taking advantage of the chaos and killing everyone will no longer work.
The two sides first greeted each other with a burst of bows and arrows. Although the Ming army's archery skills were not as good as others, they were better in numbers. This kind of field battle between the two armies is different from attacking a city. The lethality of random arrows is not much worse than that of the aimed arrows.
Therefore, when the Japanese pirates rushed in front of them and started fighting hand-to-hand, about fifty or sixty people of the Ming army were shot to death, and more than ten Japanese pirates also died! This kind of battle-loss ratio is simply unacceptable to the Japanese pirates!
So they hold back enough
They are determined to make back their losses in hand-to-hand combat, and they do have this ability! Just when they raised their samurai swords and prepared to slash into the wind...
A big bamboo pole with an afro haircut, with disheveled bamboo branches and a shining iron head, struck him in the face without thinking.
The Japanese pirates were shocked. Although this thing may not kill you if it slaps you in the face, it is very easy to blind an eye. If you want to parry, there are so many bamboo branches that can't stop it!
The Japanese pirate roared, took a step back, and struck with his sword. With a click, only one small bamboo branch was cut off, without affecting the remaining part at all.
This big bamboo is soaked in oil. Although it looks dirty, it is much tougher than a wooden gun shaft. A samurai sword can cut through an ordinary iron sword with one stroke, but it cannot cut through this big bamboo.
The most important thing is that the three-person team hid behind the big bamboo. The big unkempt broom not only blocked the enemy's attack, but also blocked the enemy's appearance.
Some people say that the Japanese pirates have a sinister look on their face, a fierce look in their eyes, and a samurai sword raised high, which makes them intimidating and timid before they fight.
Now that the problem is solved, the big bamboo almost covers the upper body of the Japanese pirate. No one can see the fleshy face or the ferocious look.
Not to mention the fierce look in his eyes. Now the Japanese pirate's eyes are only focused on avoiding the bamboo branches. It's hard to open his eyes. Why is there such a fierce look?
The soldiers hiding behind the big bamboo had a sense of security and could not see the expressions of the Japanese pirates, so they naturally dared to let go. The other two men with knives and guns faced the Japanese pirates from behind the big bamboo.
His legs were cut and stabbed randomly.
Luo Wenlong has never fought such a useless battle. The last time he was ambushed by Yu Dayou and Zhang Jing, after all, it was a real battle with real swords and guns. Although he suffered heavy losses, he only brought 200 men with him that time. He was indeed outnumbered, and his opponents were almost all camp soldiers.
This time, this group of miscellaneous soldiers defeated an army of 600 Japanese pirates and was unable to do anything! This is incredible! Luo Wenlong brandished his sword and roared.
"Those are just bamboos, they are bamboos! What's the big deal if you get scratched on the face? Just rush in and disrupt their formation!"
After all, the fighting power of the Japanese pirates is still strong. After all, Xiao Feng's miscellaneous army has not been trained for long. Langzhen is a rough version, and Yuanyang Town is also a beggar version. At the beginning, the Japanese pirates were not used to it and were caught off guard, but soon He gained the upper hand again.
At this time, more than fifty members of the White Lotus Sect's branch, led by Zhou Dao, also arrived and attacked the Ming soldiers from the side. These people usually practice this specifically. They do not face the enemy head-on, but only serve to harass them.
There are specialties in the art. They have gunpowder, poisonous smoke, and even dog blood and feces. Although the lethality is not strong, it does mess up the Ming army's position.
At this time, Xiao Qin also arrived and joined the battle group with his entourage. His kung fu is so high that he is almost invincible. However, the Ming soldiers were so numerous that they tried their best to stop him with group fights and random arrows. Even if he wanted to get close to the large RV quickly, it was impossible.
Seeing that the three thousand Ming army suffered heavy casualties and was about to be in chaos, dust and smoke rose. Yu Dayou led 200 cavalry in a whirlwind attack and charged at the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates were caught off guard and were broken up by the cavalry and chopped down. More than thirty people.
hatred
Luo Wenlong was extremely jealous when they saw each other. Luo Wenlong ordered the Japanese pirates to re-arrange themselves and prepare to cut off the horse's legs. As long as the cavalry became infantry, the threat would be greatly reduced.
The Ming army, which was already in disarray, suddenly saw General Yu and the cavalry arriving, and their morale was greatly boosted. They shouted to regain their position and fought fiercely. Although the Japanese pirates had the upper hand, they were unable to defeat their opponents for a while.
All Xiao Qin's attention was focused on the large caravan, leading the people from the White Lotus Sect branch, ignoring the main battlefield, stabbing at the target like a sharp knife. He himself is the tip of this sharp knife, which is as powerful as a bamboo. If someone blocks it, it will kill someone, and if someone blocks it, it will kill Buddha.
It wasn't until Yu Dayou stood in front of him that the knife was finally blocked. The people around were fighting with blood, but Xiao Qin and Yu Dayou were facing each other quietly.
One's hands were hanging down, stained with blood, and the broad sleeves of his robe were windless. A big sword is held across the chest, with full concentration, legs bent and gathering strength, like a tiger and leopard.
"Where's Xiao Feng? Where's Zhang Wuxin? You can't kill a hundred cavalry in Jiaxing, where are the rest?"
Yu Dayou didn't speak, just stared at Xiao Qin coldly. At this time, two angry curses sounded from the direction of the large RV, and then there was the sound of swords clashing.
Swearing is very common on the battlefield, and is actually an upgraded version of group fighting. It is estimated that every man has participated in group fights at some point when he was a boy.
When warming up before a group fight, the exchanges between the two parties are usually exciting. Not only do they contain a variety of grammar, involving elders and women from both families, but they are also full of logic and deepening modal particles.
But when the fight actually started, the scolding became very monotonous. It was almost the same fixed greeting, accompanied by constant
broken fist.
Personally, I think this phenomenon is because the blood of the human body is mainly concentrated in the cerebellum when doing exercises to better stimulate the body's movement ability. Therefore, there is a lack of blood in the brain and it is impossible to take care of the scolding battle.
It was similar on the battlefield. The yelling and cursing of a group of rough guys was very monotonous. The Ming army also used the time-honored greeting, but it had different dialect versions. Since the Northeastern dialect was not very popular at that time, the Shandong version should be the most relieving.
The Japanese pirates and the fake Japanese pirates are even more monotonous, almost one sword and one eight, and in the end it is still one eight, which is not as exciting as the Ming Dynasty's scoldings, and there is not even a dialect version.
The curses that rang out next to the large RV were soft and clear, with civilized sentences and clear logic. They were a breath of fresh air in the battlefield, because the two parties involved were Gu Yue'er and An Qingyue.
After Xiao Qin was blocked by Yu Dayou, the only two people left with the best kung fu in the congregation were Gu Yue'er and Zhou Dao. With Zhou Dao's cooperation, Gu Yue'er finally approached the large RV. Just when he was about to get in, An Qingyue flew out of the car and was almost disfigured with a knife.
Gu Yue'er was furious, you can kill me, but what does disfigurement mean? He immediately struck back with his sword and cursed endlessly.
"Isn't she just a princess? What a baby! If Brother Qin hadn't insisted on catching her, I wouldn't have looked down upon her! I really don't know what Brother Qin was thinking. Who can a princess threaten?"
An Qingyue had a bigger temper than Gu Yue'er. She slashed hard with her sword, causing Gu Yue'er to retreat repeatedly while scolding back in annoyance.
"You're complaining... what the hell! Xiao Feng took Yu Dayou and Zhang Wuxin away and left me to guard the princess alone. This bastard doesn't care whether I live or die!"
"
Get out of the way! I want to find out this princess and see what she looks like. I feel that this matter is not as simple as Brother Qin said! "
"Don't dream! Today I want to show Xiao Feng that I'm not easy to mess with, girl! Don't talk about you. If he gets tired of the princess in the future, I'll kick him out too!"
The soldiers and White Lotus cultists who were fighting around were speechless. When we fight, we always scold each other. How come you two are scolding each other when you fight? What's more, we've already used swords and swords, so there's so much nonsense. Aren't three words enough?
Xiao Qin judged from the sound of fighting that Gu Yue'er was as good as An Qingyue in kung fu. There were many soldiers beside the large RV, and there was also a Qian Boss. Gu Yue'er couldn't take them down.
He smiled at Yu Dayou, and instead of fighting with Yu Dayou, he got into the middle of the melee crowd, passed through the gaps, and quickly approached the large RV.
Yu Dayou knew that he could not catch up with him, so he could only run to the large RV equally quickly. The two started an obstacle race. The distance was the same, and the only difference was the obstacles.
The obstacle in front of Xiao Qin is the Ming army, and the obstacle in front of Yu Dayou is the Japanese pirates. Their combat power is not much different, but their opponents are very different. Especially in close combat, the Japanese pirate's single combat power is indeed very strong.
Therefore, Yu Dayou's speed was slower than Xiao Qin's. Seeing that Xiao Qin was about to approach the large RV, a cry of death suddenly came from the distance.
Dozens of cavalry were in front, with Xiao Feng and Zhang Wuxin following in the middle. Behind them were two thousand soldiers from the Taicang Guards, who followed Xiao Feng and charged all the way.
What Luo Wenlong was most worried about happened!
