Frontline Battle Situation

"The Ningbo Mansion is so fat. No wonder the Japanese pirates gathered so many people to plunder the land. They have moved for so many days but haven't finished it."

Wu Dong couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the wealth mentioned in the letter.

"Where is the personal soldier who came back to report the message? I also want to ask how the battle situation is ahead."

Wei Wencai remembered that he read the letter when he arrived at his uncle's house. He had not asked the messenger what was going on before, but his father was fine.

Wu Dong said with a smile, "I was exhausted when I came back. I couldn't walk on the water. He ran back from Zhejiang on a horse. People who came back were about to faint. I had to let him rest. I haven't woken up yet."

"I guess I didn't have a good rest in front, and I ran continuously."

Wei Guangde thought about it before answering.

"That's for sure. If you want to fight, who can sleep peacefully, only by returning here can you calm down."

Wu Dong nodded, but then said: "These personal soldiers and servants looked good before, but they still exposed many defects. The soldiers here have never seen blood. I heard that there are those in the border town.

The veteran, even if the enemy is sieging the city, as long as he doesn't reach the city wall, he can sleep directly in the city tower and cannot be struck."

"Where can you see blood, where can you see blood?"

Wei Wencai also woke up. He did not consider that before, these personal soldiers might have been nervous and anxious because they could go to the battlefield, which would affect their rest.

Just thinking about how it would be so tired after only a few days of returning from Zhejiang.

When he got up the next day, Wei Guangde asked someone to ask, the personal soldiers who delivered the letter had not woken up yet, so he had been sleeping for almost a day.

It was almost noon that a servant ran in to report again, and the personal soldier woke up.

When Wei Guangde arrived at a wing room, he saw that his elder brother Wei Wencai and his cousin were already waiting here. After sitting down for a while, the personal soldier quickly entered the house.

Before Wei Guangde could see his appearance clearly, he felt that this man was very strong, so he had already bowed his head.

"Greetings to the young master, please cousin."

"You get up and talk back."

Wu Dong said, "When I came back yesterday, you said that my father and uncle were all well. What was the situation ahead? Also, why are you so tired?"

"If you know the young master, everyone hasn't had a good rest along the way, especially before fighting with the Japanese pirates, the entire battalion was very scared."

The soldier replied honestly.

"Tell me clearly, why are you afraid before you even hit me?"

Wu Dong asked afterwards.

"Isn't it scared by the killings from Yangzhou and Gaoyou. They said that the Japanese pirates are all very skilled in martial arts and are invulnerable to swords and guns. They can shoot the bows and arrows, and they can catch them with their bare hands and throw them back. Their accurate head is similar to aiming at archery.

Then, after the military order was brought down, the soldiers of the garrison in Chuzhou and Jianyang were unwilling to board the ship, and they almost couldn't suppress it."

At this time, under the oral of personal soldiers, the two brothers Wu Dong and the Wei family learned about the situation at that time, but it was a bit dangerous.

After Nanjing sent military orders to rush to Zhejiang to suppress the Japanese, many of the guards in the rear were unwilling to board the ship.

It was very simple. During the training in Zhenjiang, many of the soldiers of the garrison near the sea had heard of the legend of Japanese pirates, and then it spread at that time.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes or experience it myself, I heard too much and took it seriously without realizing it.

Such news spread quietly in the camp, but the officers and generals in the camp did not find it. Since then, the entire army's momentum has actually begun to decline, and finally broke out after receiving the military order to set out to suppress the Japanese.

Fortunately, after a year of rectification, the army's execution ability has been improved a little, suppressing several garrisons that showed signs of instability. But that's it, Jiujiang garrison was surrounded by Nanjing garrison for a long time.

Release the ban.

After that, I should have set off for one day, so I stayed in Zhenjiang for one more day before I got on the boat and sailed.

The army set sail to the estuary and encountered the Taicang Guard troops on the sea near the Qianhu Station of Wusong River. The two armies merged into one and continued to move south.

"Actually, at that time, we hadn't been on the boat for two days, and our morale was gone after getting on the boat."

Seeing this strong-bodied soldier say such words, Wei Guangde knew that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, the Taicang Guard should be at least one day ahead of the Zhenjiang army, not to mention that the Zhenjiang side had been delayed for a day before departure. This means that the Taicang Guard Army had been lingering near the Wusong River for two days.

Then I heard the personal soldier continue to say that naturally, after arriving at the sea surface of Jiaxing Prefecture, according to the above order, Jiujiang Guard, Anqing Guard, Luzhou Guard and other garrisons would take a boat to continue to go south to Taizhou, Nanjing Jingying and others, and join the other garrisons.

The ward was ordered to log in at Ningbo Prefecture.

Having said this, the personal soldiers obviously hesitated and stood there for a moment without continuing to speak.

"What's going on? Let's talk."

Seeing that his personal soldiers were hesitating again, Wu Dong hurriedly asked.

The personal soldiers' faces turned slightly red, and then said, "Low after we divided the troops, we went on a voyage on the sea, and then floated to the vicinity of Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture."

Hearing the personal soldiers saying that they should have gone to Taizhou Prefecture, but the fleet flew to Shaoxing Prefecture. Wei Guangde had seen the map of Zhejiang and naturally knew the location of Shaoxing Prefecture. It was really the same as the oral message sent back last month.

Almost the same, you will get ashore after passing Hangzhou Bay.

Wei Guangde could think of it, and Wu Dong naturally knew that the expression on his face was also extremely exciting for a moment.

To bypass Ningbo and go to Taizhou, you must pass through Zhoushan, the old nest of Japanese pirates. Can you go?

joke.

The only one who couldn't figure out the status in the room was the eldest brother Wei Wencai. He didn't go to Jiujiang Mansion that time. He only knew that it was from Zhejiang.

"Ahem, sea trek is also a common thing, you continue."

Wu Dong urged him angrily.

"After we got ashore in Shaoxing, we got in touch with the local Linshanwei horse probing horses."

As the personal soldiers continued to tell the story, Wei Guangde realized that his father and his Jiujiang Guard still failed to escape the battlefield.

After the Japanese pirates looted Dinghai County, Ningbo Prefecture, some of the Japanese pirates came to Cixi County to loot.

In fact, there are many guards around Ningbo Prefecture and Shaoxing Prefecture, including Ningbo Prefecture, Dinghai Prefecture, Linshan Prefecture, Guanhai Prefecture and Shaoxing Prefecture, not to mention that there are several guarding Thousand Houses, but

In the battle of Dinghai County, Dinghaiwei collapsed directly, and Cixi's Guanhaiwei could not withstand it.

However, there was no news about Nanjing Jingying, and I don’t know where I had landed on the shore in Ningbo Prefecture.

"Where did you fight against the Japanese pirates?"

Wei Guangde already knew from the letter that Jiujiang Guard was fighting against Japanese pirates, and it was in the territory of Ningbo Prefecture, but his personal soldiers showed off for a long time but did not mention his concern.

"The place where we went ashore is Yuyao, which is very close to Cixi. Within a half day of the day we got ashore, we met the retreating Guanhaiwei soldiers. It is said that the Dinghaiwei had retreated to Ningbo Prefecture, and then we fought with the Japanese pirates."
