Soldiers are valuable and quick.
Before they could discuss how to deter the Japanese pirates who had landed, Lieutenant Zhang over there had already led 5,000 garrison soldiers in a hurry towards Quchuntan.
Generally speaking, most of the garrison troops in various places in Yunchui were not equipped with mounts, but the three major racecourses were exceptions.
All the soldiers galloped on their horses.
I ran from morning to night, and when night fell, I could see the sea to the east in the distance.
The procession stopped.
"Do you have any instructions, Lord Mo?" Deputy Lieutenant Zhang asked.
He had already thought of a countermeasure as he was on his way.
If Mo Canghai hadn't given any instructions, he would have held a grand bonfire party on the spot.
As for what the Japanese pirate spies think, just let them be.
To the west, Jiuyuan Racecourse.
Mo Canghai looked at the latest news that had just been sent back with a gloomy look on his face.
The thirty Japanese battle camp-class warships at sea had already left the sea near Yunzhui earlier and headed towards Baekje without looking back.
The thousand Japanese pirates who had landed were abandoned.
In other words, they are not ready to go back.
Suicide Squad!
Mo Canghai read these three words coldly.
Think about it too.
After all, Jiuyuan Racecourse is one of the three major racecourses in Yunchui, covering a vast area. It is almost half the size of Jiuyuan County.
With only a thousand Japanese pirates, some of them still have to be separated to resist the guards of the racecourse. It is indeed impossible to safely evacuate after doing bad things.
But it would be simple this way.
"Send the order!" Mo Canghai stared at Quchuntan on the map.
"Ask Lieutenant Zhang, who sets off first, to keep an eye on the Japanese pirates. The rockets, saltpeter and other baggage from behind will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest. All these Japanese pirates must be eliminated near the coast."
To the east, north of Quchun Beach, is the rocky beach.
A certain pile of weeds suddenly shook, and a human head suddenly appeared.
Report!
The messenger lowered his voice and said, "General, a Yunchui garrison suddenly came from thirty miles away to the west. There are about five thousand people, all on horseback."
Buzz.
The ten Bai Chang around suddenly changed their colors.
"Oops! Have we been discovered by Yunchui people?"
"Sigh. I'm not afraid of death, but it's a pity that the mission has not been completed yet."
…
"Why are you panicking!" Shinya Iwagami looked up at the sky, "The other party probably just happened to be passing by."
If they had been discovered by the group of Yun Chuibei guards. With the strength of many people, the opponent will kill them directly in nine cases out of ten.
What are you still doing thirty miles away?
The centenarians were relieved.
"Everyone, stay still for now while the spies continue to gather information."
The messenger changed into the attire of Yun Chui common people and went out again.
An hour later, he came back to Shinya Iwagami, panting.
"General, the brothers at the front have inquired. Those garrison troops are indeed passing by here as you said."
"They were rushing to Shangfeng's hometown to celebrate his birthday. However, it was getting late when they passed by, so they had to stop and rest. They will continue on their way at dawn tomorrow."
"Really?" Shinya Iwagami breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little unbelievable. "Five thousand people rushed together to celebrate Shang Feng's birthday. Is being a supervisor a death penalty?"
hehe.
A hundred commanders next to him said, "General, what's so strange about this."
"It has long been known to all the world that the military discipline of the local garrison in Yunchui has been corrupted. In addition, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so there may even be supervisors inside."
Shinya Iwagami was silent for a while, "Then did they bring any gifts with them?"
"This..." The messenger hesitated.
Although the spy in front of them could speak Yunchui, he had a distinct accent, so he didn't dare to get too close or ask more questions.
Moreover, it was already nightfall and it was impossible to see clearly.
Shinya Iwagami waved his hand, "Let them find out quickly."
The messenger was about to turn around when he suddenly said, "General, those Yunchuibei guards blatantly lit bonfires, and some even sang songs..."
If he came to attack them, he wouldn't be so arrogant.
Shinya Iwakami was speechless for a moment.
Just five thousand garrison soldiers leaving the camp to celebrate Shangfeng's birthday?
He still couldn't believe such a thing.
Bai Chang next to him chuckled, "General, this is actually not surprising at all."
"Yun Chui is a man of face. Sometimes he even goes so far as to swell his own face just to look fat."
"They have a saying that a precious person who never returns home is like walking at night in brocade. Some generals have struggled for most of their lives to get the title of general. Why don't we bring more subordinates back to show off our prestige in front of the folks in our hometown?"
The other man nodded repeatedly.
"Five thousand people are nothing, there is nothing more exaggerated than this."
He pointed to the southwest.
"Three or four years ago, it was the birthday of Empress Dowager Yunchui."
"In order to celebrate her birthday, Emperor Changxing built a lot of construction projects in the palace. The huge Xingji City was decorated inside and outside. Especially the four main streets of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu, both sides were even covered with shiny gold. .”
Tsk tsk.
"The scene, the expense..."
"And some local officials took the opportunity to plunder the people's wealth in the name of celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday. They forced the people to sell their children and women to make a living. Later, it also triggered civil unrest in the west..."
Many people nodded.
Although they were far away in Yamato, they had heard about the civil unrest in the western part of Yunchui, but they just didn't know the inside story.
Shinya Iwagami no longer had any doubts and made a decisive decision: "Go down and let the brothers continue to rest. Wait until the group of garrison soldiers fall asleep, and we will take action based on the situation."
However, news came back one after another from the front.
The fire over there never went out, and the soldiers next to them kept singing and dancing.
Shinya Iwagami waited until dawn.
He looked up at the sun in the sky, then at the unobstructed plain to the west, and had no choice but to continue hiding in the rocky beach.
Deputy Lieutenant Zhang, who arrived first, looked at the news that Mo Canghai had just sent, feeling regretful and dumbfounded.
At noon, rocket saltpeter and kerosene were finally delivered.
The number of garrison troops also reached 7,000.
Without the warship, he had danced all night in vain, and Lieutenant Zhang was suffocating.
He looked left and right and led his team towards the rocky beach in a semi-surrounding manner.
"General," the messenger didn't bother to hide his figure and ran wildly across the rocky beach, "We have fallen into a trap. The group of garrison troops are here to besiege us. They are surrounding us."
Shinya Iwagami was shocked and quickly asked about the situation, his face suddenly lost color.
Yesterday those squeaking Bai Chang also looked ashen, but it was too late to say anything.
"How did the Yunchui people discover us? With the speed they came, it can even be said that we were discovered as soon as we landed. What on earth is going on?"
There was silence all around.
Everyone wants to know the answer.
Shinya Iwagami calmed down and quickly climbed to a higher point.
He looked around and sighed.
"Brothers, bad luck, we have been surrounded. But General Kudo's mission must still be completed hard. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Shinya Iwagami nodded with satisfaction.
"Send the order, and all the soldiers will bury the horse plague powder in their hands under the rocks and hide it."
"Mitsui, take thirty of your water-loving brothers and retreat into the sea immediately. You would rather drown than be exposed. After the enemy retreats, you can find a way to continue the mission."
"Besides, be sure to leave one or two brothers behind to try to get back alive and tell General Naoto Kudo on the east coast. We may have spies of Yun Sui Ren inside."
"The others are charging with me now. Kill one to get the base, kill two to get the profit. Try to buy time for Mitsui."
"Yes!" No one had any objection, and everyone silently grasped their weapons.
Mitsui opened his mouth, quickly nodded to thirty people, turned around and ran towards the east sea.
First latest.
