"Brother Ma, how about we go to Jiaxing City to try our luck at the feat that we failed to achieve in Suzhou City?!" Xu Hai walked up to Maye, put his arm around Maye's shoulders, and pointed in the direction of Jiaxing City with a look of ambition. said.
His eyes were like those of a wolf, fierce and bloodthirsty, greedy and ambitious, wanting to swallow Jiaxing City into his mouth.
"Brother Xu, I know you will say this. However, in front of Jiaxing City, the army collapsed and the troops were lost. Only these 400 people are left in the 30,000-strong army. Although more than 30,000 people have not succeeded, the four of us now How can more than a hundred people succeed? Although Jiaxing City is not as tall as Suzhou City, it is one of the few big cities in the south of the Yangtze River. Just now, Brother Xu also heard their confession, there are more than 2,000 defenders in Suzhou City."
Maye shook his head and did not agree with Xu Hai's idea. The defeat of Suzhou has made him still not recovered.
When we boarded the ship, we had more than 30,000 troops under our command. They were very confident and felt that Suzhou City could be defeated in a single battle. However, they never expected that before they even reached Suzhou City, they lost nearly 10,000 troops in the first battle in front of Fengqiao. After another battle, Suzhou lost more than 10,000 troops. The city suffered another loss of troops and generals. As for the retreat, it was even more of a nightmare. Only four hundred men were left after the loss of troops.
The worst dreams are not this bad!
Upon hearing that Xu Hai was going to take 400 people to attack Jiaxing City, Maye's first reaction was to object and disapprove.
More than 30,000 people attacked Suzhou like this. Now more than 400 people go to attack Jiaxing City. Isn't that the birthday boy hanging himself?
"Brother Ma, where did the defeat in Suzhou come from?! Wasn't it the defeat at the hands of Zhu Pingan? Ask yourself, without Zhu Pingan and the Zhejiang Army under his command, do you think our Suzhou strategy would have been completely defeated?! Our sneak attack was discovered by the Zhejiang Army's scouts, who lit beacon fires to reveal our whereabouts, and were forced to attack openly. In the battle of Fengqiao, we were defeated by the Zhejiang Army under Zhu Pingan, and he used gunpowder to inflict a cruel blow on us. , injured his muscles and bones, causing difficulties in the back; he trapped General Wang and pretended to be a prisoner to enter the city, and he almost succeeded, but Zhu Pingan broke the trick, causing the success to fall short; as for the retreat, he was used insidiously by Zhu Pingan The vicious serial fire plan resulted in our complete defeat, with only about 400 people left."
Xu Hai hugged Maye's neck, looking back at the defeat of the Suzhou Raiders, summarizing and analyzing, and concluded that the defeat of Suzhou was entirely due to Zhu Ping'an.
"Well, that's really the case. It's all Zhu Ping'an's fault. If it weren't for him, how could Suzhou City be the same!"
Maye thought for a while and reviewed the context of the Battle of Suzhou. She couldn't help but nodded, convinced by Xu Hai's analysis.
"That's right! There is only one Zhu Pingan! He is still finishing the job in Suzhou! Can there be another Zhu Pingan in Jiaxing City?! Without Zhu Pingan as a variable, Jiaxing City is much easier to get than Suzhou City, plus we If we capture these Jiaxing soldiers, we will have an advantage over Jiaxing City and can definitely fight."
Xu Hai said bewitchingly.
"Having said that, Brother Xu, even if there is no Zhu Pingan in Jiaxing City, there are still more than 2,000 defenders in the city. We only have 400 people. How can we attack a big city guarded by more than 2,000 people?!"
Maye still shook his head. Regarding Jiaxing City, he had a thief heart but no courage at the moment. Without him, there were too few soldiers.
"Brother Ma, what if, I mean, if all our soldiers and horses enter Jiaxing City, can we be confident in dealing with more than 2,000 people?"
Xu Hai asked.
"If you can enter Jiaxing City and fight with more than 2,000 of them, haha, it will be a good idea. Judging from the quality of the Jiaxing soldiers tonight, the defenders in Jiaxing City are also a bunch of chickens and dogs. How? They are as powerful as our more than 400 hungry wolves, so if we fight against them, they will be vulnerable!"
Maye grinned. If he could enter the city, he would have full confidence. The battle just now gave him great confidence.
"Haha, Brother Ma, I have an idea. The Jiaxing soldiers we captured this time who went to Yangcheng Guard to ask for reinforcements are our opportunity! We can disguise ourselves as the vanguard of the Yangcheng Guard reinforcements, and take these Jiaxing soldiers, If we go to Jiaxing City to deceive the city, I think we have a great chance of succeeding."
"The magistrate of Jiaxing City is a man who is looking for fame and is as timid as a mouse. He will probably rush to open the door for us."
Xu Hai slowly said, with a pair of hungry wolf-like eyes staring at the direction of Jiaxing City in the distance full of ambition.
"Brother Xu, it's not easy to disguise ourselves as Yangcheng Guard reinforcements. How can we disguise ourselves in the clothes we are wearing now?"
Maye pointed at the group of Japanese pirates and smiled bitterly.
At first glance, they looked like Japanese pirates. The clothes they wore were all ordinary clothes and Japanese clothes. They were in tatters, burned by the fire, and soaked in water. At first glance, they looked like Japanese pirates who had been defeated under the Suzhou City. They didn't look like Yangcheng Guard reinforcements at all.
"Haha, don't be afraid of this. I just got a message from the prisoners. Not far from here, there is a town called 'Changping Town'. There is a small iron mine in the town. In order to protect this small iron mine, Ming Ting is here A hundred households office was set up here, named Changping Office. If it was full, there would be 112 guardsmen. However, in fact, the hundreds of households had no pay, and Changping Office had less than fifty people, half of whom were old people. "Weak, sick and disabled"
Xu Hai pointed to the east and said to Maye.
Maye's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Brother Xu, you are saying that we took down the Changping Institute and took their military uniforms for disguise."
"Hahaha, the one who knows me is Brother Ma. Yes, I have exactly this idea. Changping Institute is more than ten miles away from us. Let's select more than 20 elites, put on the uniforms of Jiaxing soldiers, sneak into Changping Institute first, and then take them by surprise. , suddenly kill the enemy, and we can capture the Changping Institute in one fell swoop. From now on, to the time when we capture the Changping Institute, it will take half an hour. If we disguise ourselves as Ming troops, and dare to go to Jiaxing City, it will take almost more than an hour."
"Think about it, the Yangcheng Guards are thirty miles away from here, and the Jiaxing soldiers ride to ask for reinforcements. The Yangcheng Guards send troops to support the Jiaxing City cavalry, which can cover more than eighty miles in one hour. On foot, one hour of sprinting can cover thirty or forty miles. After all this time, I estimate that it will take an hour for Yangcheng Guard’s reinforcements to reach Jiaxing City.”
"The time is just right."
"Hahaha, God is really helping me."
Xu Hai analyzed it and laughed.
Maye closed her eyes and meditated.
"Brother Ma, as long as we take Jiaxing City, we will not only get the vast wealth in Jiaxing City, but also the scoundrels, opportunists, profit-seeking people, greedy and lustful people, and criminals in Jiaxing City." Those who are dissatisfied with the status quo, etc., etc., we can easily gather tens of thousands of people."
"The soldiers and horses we lost under Suzhou City can be replenished in Jiaxing City; the face we lost under Suzhou City can be regained in Jiaxing City, and our prestige can revive Jiangnan!"
"If you cheat to open the city gate, we will go! If you can't cheat to open the city gate, the worst we can do is just slap our butts and leave."
Xu Hai is good at tempting.
"Done!"
Ma Ye opened her eyes and gritted her teeth hard.
"Hahaha, we brothers work together and can defeat gold. Jiaxing City is of no use. It must be in our pocket!"
Xu Hai hugged Maye's shoulders and laughed wildly. (End of chapter)
