Chapter 20                                                             �

Most cavalrymen, no matter how many people are, can defeat these Japanese pirates in an all-round way with their superb cavalry tactics. However, there is a small trouble when they arrive at Qi Jiguang. That is, Ye Ma is not an ordinary Japanese pirate.

As a Japanese ronin, Ye Ma can become a leader of a Japanese pirate. He is not a mediocre person. When he saw Qi Jiguang 800 cavalry rushing over, he felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong for a moment.

When Qi Jiguang led the first wave of hedging against Ye Ma, he directly destroyed Ye Ma. Ye Ma immediately reacted. He saw some paddy fields around him. Without saying a word, he led the way and arranged the array among the paddy fields.

The paddy fields are not deep, but they are not as deep as the calf.

But in the paddy fields, war horses cannot run. After all, when a person is in the paddy fields, he slips under his feet, and it is just a fall, which is a bit embarrassing. However, the cavalry depends entirely on speed. Cavalry without speed is no different from infantry. But if the cavalry rushed over at high speed and fell, it would be a life-threatening person.

Ye Ma's decisive judgment made Ye Ma's headquarters survive for a while.

But that's all.

Qi Jiguang did not let the cavalry go to the paddy field at all, but instead used the Mongol tactics to circle the open space, then tied the bow and built it, and a rain of arrows shot over it. In fact, not everyone is proficient in cavalry among the Datong cavalry. However, these three thousand armored cavalry are considered the best cavalry selected from the best. If you bend your bow and shoot, you may not be very accurate, but there is no problem when shooting it out.

Facing Ye Ma's array in the paddy fields, the Datong cavalry did not need too many accurate heads. A large area of ​​targets could be shot into this area.

This is also the Mongolians' trick to deal with the Ming army.

What a pity. The Japanese pirates were not regular soldiers after all, and their internal discipline and organization were completely incomparable to the Ming army in Datong. Faced with the rain of arrows, they were immediately shaken.

Fortunately, Ye Ma tried hard to calm the scene, and found some musketeers, holding bird guns to attack the Ming army.

Seeing this, Qi Jiguang pulled his bow and arrows and shot a series of arrows. More than a dozen Japanese pirate leaders were pierced by one arrow. Ye Ma was also good at martial arts. When Qi Jiguang shot an arrow, he used a samurai sword to cut the arrows.

But except for Ye Ma who has this ability, no one else has this ability.

The Japanese pirates, who were not very organized, saw this situation and did not have the fighting spirit, and they immediately scattered birds and beasts. Ye Ma knew that things could not be done, so he immediately took people away from the paddy fields.

Seeing that there were not many people around Ye Ma, Qi Jiguang sent a hundred households to chase him. After all, he was worried about the development of the entire battlefield and was not in the mood to get entangled with Ye Ma.

So Ye Ma spent countless hours and fled to Zhoushan Island with two or three hundred people. Almost all of these two or three hundred people were real Japanese. Ye Ma followed his life. With these backbones, Ye Ma could gather a team of thousands of people again in less than two years.

This is one of the disadvantages in Jiangnan and even the southeast. Aristocratic families annexed land, and ordinary people had no way out. In addition, the excess profits of trade in Shanghai were made. During the chaos during the Warring States Period in Japan, there were too many escaped samurai. With these social factors, Japanese pirates were endless. Whether it was the Japanese, Chinese, or even the Portuguese, or all countries in Southeast Asia, they would participate in the Japanese pirates.

However, Zhou Mengchen had just arrived and fought the war like this, and no one would blame him for asking for it.

Ye Ma saw the opportunity quickly and was the only one who escaped among the three major Japanese pirate leaders near Zhapu.

The other two are not so lucky.

At this moment, Ma Gui had already attacked Chen Dong's last stronghold.

Obviously, Qi Jiguang's judgment of them was correct. Ma Gui arrived at the front line and ordered all the hundreds of households to come. After some lectures, one hundred households had three or five, and one hundred households had seven or eight. In this way, dozens of grenades and bullets were raised.

Then Ma Gui ordered to find a few tables from the room, nail them to wooden boards, and then become a simple shield cart. He sent someone to hold this thing and rush forward. When he was approaching, dozens of grenades and bullets hit the same area. Then dozens of people started to work together and pushed down the courtyard wall. After all, the courtyard wall built by himself in the countryside was just rammed earth and bricks, and it could withstand the tossing of how many people could.

When the gap opened, Tang Tianlu even led the way in.

It has to be admitted that Chen Dong and the real Japanese around Chen Dong are both tough guys, and even at this time, they did not give up. The two sides fought repeatedly. After about an hour of fighting, they finally took Chen Dong's head.

The last three or four hundred people were all real Japanese.

Just as Ye Ma escaped and Chen Dong died in battle, Xu Hai also walked to the dead end.

In fact, Xu Hai had the chance to escape. But he never expected that when Qi Jiguang took the detour, he set a fire. This fire killed Xu Hai.

In fact, there are many Japanese pirates, and there is not just this port around them.

But after Xu Hai came here, all the Ming army troops followed closely. In addition to Yu Dayou who was protecting Zhou Mengchen, Lu Tong was the leader, the wife of the Wa family, the Tang Kekuan, etc. Many people saw Zhou Mengchen's intention to take the education exam. Although the headquarters was not good, their servants still had some ability. These people rushed up, making Xu Hai unable to escape.

After all, the essence of the Ming army in Jiangnan is here, and these people still have the ability to force the Japanese pirates here. However, the three Japanese pirates united together, which exceeded their ability and had to find a way. Now it is just Xu Hai's unit, who is afraid of whom?

Coupled with the accumulation brought by Zhou Mengchen's great victory.

Xu Hai did not last long, and was captured by the Ming army. As for Xu Hai's command, most of the people died under random swords. If Xu Hai hadn't been too clear, it would have been too clear.

It was Xu Hai's turn to survive.

After all, the things that Japanese pirates do in Jiangnan are too unstable. If they move, they will kill people and let them go, and they will not let them go. The Ming army in Jiangnan is mostly local, and they have a deep pain.

Therefore, they are never ruthless to the Japanese pirates, and even kill them indiscriminately. Any Japanese pirates are the best to die.

So Xu Hai was suppressed in front of Zhou Mengchen.

Xu Hai seemed to have struggled for the final struggle. He saw Hu Zongxian and said, "Mr. Hu, I am determined to surrender to the court. You must testify for me."

Hu Zongxian was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

Hu Zongxian was completely desperate at this moment. He clearly felt that his influence in the army had been in operation for many years, and after today's battle, it would be wiped out. It was also very simple. The army has always regarded strength as its utmost and only followed those who could lead them to win battles.

Zhang Jing is like this, Hu Zongxian is like this, and Zhou Mengchen is like this.

Just in terms of military talent, Hu Zongxian is not even as good as Zhang Jing, let alone Zhou Mengchen.

Zhang Jing at least led the troops and served as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and surrounded and suppressed the barbarians. In the war against Japanese pirates, the great victory of Wang Jingjiang was a war that must not be ignored. In history, Hu Zongxian had achieved outstanding results after fighting this battle, so it was better to lead Xu Hai and Chen Dong to join forces and then surround Xu Hai.

Zhou Mengchen robbed Hu Zongxian of his contribution today. No matter how much preparation Hu Zongxian made for this matter today, all the contributions are in the hands of Zhou Mengchen.

This is called picking peaches.

Of course, not everyone can pick this peach, and even if Hu Zongxian picks it himself, he cannot pick it so big and round.

Hu Zongxian is a very realistic person. He can see that he will have no future in the future. His only idea in Jiangnan is to wait until he is successfully transferred from Jiangnan. His foundation is on the Yan Party and his relationship with Zhou Mengchen has always been bad. However, Hu Zongxian did not charge for the Yan Party, nor did he think of willing to sacrifice himself and eliminate this great harm to the Yan Party.

So in order to keep his official position and to be transferred smoothly, he wanted to bury himself in the soil at this moment. How could he be willing to support Xu Hai?

When Hu Zongxian really didn't know what to say, Zhou Mengchen said, "Oh, I know this, but how do I remember that you are reluctant to agree and have been bargaining, but now you have changed your attention?"

Hu Zongxian felt relieved when he heard this.
