Xu was a Japanese pirate who believed that Baimuguan could not be breached. There were far fewer manpower to guard Heimuguan, and the defenses were not as strong as the first pass.
Under the repeated attacks of artillery, Heimuguan seemed to be breakable by bullets. The Japanese pirates here were also relatively smart. They knew they could not beat them and decisively abandoned the pass and fled.
Before noon, the Yangzhou Army captured Heimuguan with almost zero casualties.
What can the Japanese pirates do? Height, strength, numbers, culture, economy, strategy, apart from cruelty and the so-called bushido, what is there to fear?
Cancers are just cancers after all, and they are only worthy of clinging to the host's body and sucking blood. If the host can become stronger, there will be no place for them.
"Mr. Bai, twenty miles further is Jinmuguan. If we can capture it, Longkou Port, which has been lost for more than half a year, can be regained. Why don't we work hard and break through another pass?"
Song Che shook his head.
Starting from Chou hour to noon, they have been fighting continuously for more than three hours. No matter how high-quality the army is, it will be exhausted. Moreover, the Japanese pirates were defeated at Heimuguan, so they would definitely concentrate all their forces to defend the last pass. The time, place, and people were not perfect, so there was no need to rush into battle.
"Let everyone have a good rest first, and order the scouts to pay attention to the movements of Jinmuguan. If there are any changes, we will report at any time."
"good."
The whole army rested in the camp behind Heimuguan. The Japanese pirates fled in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of supplies, including wine, meat and women.
In the dead of winter, the captured women were only wrapped in quilts. The oldest was in her forties and the youngest was only twelve or thirteen years old. They were all tortured to a state of disgrace by the Japanese pirates. The moment they saw their own troops, dozens of women lost their voices. Cry bitterly.
If a man fails to strengthen himself, his wife will be robbed.
"In my opinion, these surrendered beasts should be killed!"
A total of more than twenty Japanese pirates were captured at Poheimuguan. They were tied up and knelt in the snow in the snow. Facing the sword of judgment, they only felt panic and no remorse.
"He left them a piece of shit. The living are far more useful than the dead."
The situation in Longkou Port is changeable. These Japanese pirates have been stationed here all year round and know some news.
Death, they must die. After doing so many evil things, how can they deserve to live in this world and waste rice?
But death also requires a method of death. Taking them back and killing them to sacrifice the military flag will definitely increase the morale of the military and the people.
The army rested until the afternoon.
The scouts on the front line who were investigating the military situation finally reported:
"Mr. Bai, General Bao, and Jinmuguan really strengthened their defenses. They painted the outer walls with mud, and... also tied... tied up many women on the wall."
Using thin mud to prevent fire and using women as human shields are cruel but still tactical.
"Using women as a shield is nothing short of a beast!"
"Mr. Bai, what should we do now? The Japanese pirates at Jinmuguan must be no less than our army, and they have hostages as shields. I'm afraid they won't be able to attack by force." Bao Dayou came and asked.
Song Che looked at the Japanese prisoner kneeling on the ground in the ice and snow, thought for a moment, and waved to Jiang Yuntian and Bao Dayou: "Come here and talk."
Knowing that it was an important military aircraft, the three of them moved aside.
"I have two plans to break the Golden Wood Pass, one is safe and the other is dangerous," Song Che pointed out two fingers:
"The first plan is to continue to attack the hostages with artillery regardless of whether they are alive or dead. Even if the mud is smeared with mud, the mud will be burned dry under the high temperature. Then attack with rockets to knock down the dry mud. When the wooden wall is exposed, set it on fire. ;
As for this second plan..."
He whispered a few words in the ears of Jiang Yuntian and Bao Dayou.
"Ten people are going to break through the level?" Bao Dayou couldn't believe it after hearing this.
Jiang Yuntian patted his chest: "It is precisely because of the soldiers' inaction that the common people suffered from the Japanese disaster. How can I have the nerve to ignore them now... I will lead the people for this second plan!"
"Okay! Brother Jiang is really full of courage! If this plan can defeat the enemy, it will be your first achievement!"
…
The army gathered again and set out for Jinmuguan at three o'clock in Shenshi.
Jinmuguan was established on the mountainside. The Japanese pirates took advantage of the fact that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and blocked the entire mountain road. After passing Jinmuguan and going up is the hinterland of Longkou Mountain. Less than five miles down the road to the right is Longkou Port, where Japanese pirate ships docked.
An hour later, at three o'clock in the morning, heavy snow fell again, the sky was gray, and it was already night before sunset.
Jinmuguan is right in front of you.
"Bring it up!" Bao Dayou waved his hand.
More than thirty Japanese pirate prisoners, blindfolded and hands bound, were driven to the front of the army, escorted by shield soldiers, and led the army slowly closer to Jinmu Pass.
Jinmuguan was indeed covered with mud inside and out. Seventy or eighty disheveled women, with knives held to their necks, guarded the wooden wall of the pass with the Japanese pirates.
"stop!"
The Yangzhou Army stopped advancing a hundred steps away from the pass.
You can see from a close distance that there are three men in armor in the Japanese pirate camp. The man in the middle is in his forties, the man on the left has a rough beard, and the man on the right is in his early twenties, with an arrogant look on his face. He is from Daliang.
Listen to what the young man said first:
"Who is not afraid of death and dares to attack my level? Please report your name immediately!"
Bao Dayou took the responsibility and shouted: "Your grandfather is Bao Dayou, the commander of the Yangzhou army! You unscrupulous thieves and bandits are not afraid of going to hell, and are you ashamed of your ancestors!"
"Hahaha..." The young man laughed wildly and hugged the woman next to him, "How much is conscience worth? Conscience can be exchanged for gold, silver, wealth and women! A month in the army only costs a few hundred coins, what are you doing with your life? Why don't you put down your weapons and join me, let's eat meat together, drink wine from a big bowl, and divide the money with a big scale!"
"Little thief! If you were a man, let all the women go, and let's fight openly and openly!"
"I don't even have a conscience, so why would I care about men and women? If you want them, then take them."
The young man drew his sword, cut the throat of the woman in his arms, kicked down the wooden wall, and shouted provocatively:
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. If you don't want them to die, just retreat for me! If you don't retreat for half a quarter of an hour, I will kill one person! Anyway, there are many women in the pass, so I will take my time to play with you!"
"A bunch of beasts!"
The soldiers gnashed their teeth in hatred.
At this time, Song Che called out and asked: "This friend is cruel and ruthless, and he can be regarded as a hero. Do you dare to leave your name?"
The young man was already arrogant, but after hearing this compliment, he became even more outrageous, and responded loudly: "Then listen carefully, I am the one who was given the nickname 'Huntian Demon King' Wang Biao!"
Song Che secretly wrote down the name. I believe every soldier is the same.
Song Che asked the Japanese pirates again: "I wonder who in the army came up with the idea of using mud to prevent fire?"
The middle-aged man in the middle of the row held his hand on his beard and said proudly: "It was these Japanese who guarded the first two levels, so you took advantage of the loophole. Now that I, Wang Li, am in charge, your small skills are nothing in my eyes." "
Song Che deliberately raised his voice, "I thought the Japanese pirates were all prodigals, but I didn't expect there to be a general like you who is as proficient in troop formation."
The middle-aged man became more arrogant and laughed wildly, "That's natural. When I, Wang Li, led the troops to fight in Liangzhou, you were still wearing crotchless pants!"
Praise and kill. Praise and kill.
Praise first and then kill!
