Chapter 440: Delicious meal delivered to your door!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The gunshots alarmed the Japanese pirates in the city. The Japanese pirates on the city hurriedly shot out, and at the same time issued a rapid alarm. However, at such a long distance, the iron cannons in their hands could not hit Zhang Zhun's side, so the bodies of the Japanese pirate warriors who were killed were successfully pulled back.
The fire swayed, and dozens of Japanese pirates rushed out of the city in full arms and rushed towards Zhang Zhun. These Japanese pirates were indeed very fierce, and their actions were quite fast after leaving the city. No wonder they could control the southern gate of Dasong City in a very short time.
"withdraw!"
Zhang Zhun shouted in a low voice.
Soon, their figures disappeared into the darkness outside the city.
The Japanese pirates who came out of the city, the slower the speed. In the end, they had to search around the enemy. Because it was the end of March, the darkness was everywhere, and there was no moonlight and starlight. The brighter the fire in the city, the lower the visibility outside the city. It can be described as not seeing the five fingers, and there is no way to see where the enemy is hidden.
There was no way, the Japanese pirates had to light torches outside the city. In order to prevent attacks, they pulled the cordon far away. With the help of the torch, they soon discovered blood on the ground and messy footprints, and naturally understood that something had happened to their companions. What made them feel incredible was that their companions were missing even the body. They couldn't help but wonder if they had encountered wild beasts or something.
Faced with the dark fields around, the Japanese pirates no longer dared to swim around unscrupulously. They had no idea where the enemy was hiding, and they had no direction to pursue them. They raised the torch too far in the dark, and it was easy to fall into the enemy's ambush circle. In desperation, they had to retreat back to the city. Soon, the city gate was closed again. The number of Japanese pirate sentries on the city also increased greatly, as if they were facing a great enemy.
When Zhang Zhun and his friends returned to the temporary camp, they found that the Japanese pirates were not chasing them, and many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Zhun and his friends cleanly packed up twelve Japanese pirates warriors, which is indeed admirable. However, if they attract a large number of Japanese pirates, they cannot stop them at all. Fortunately, the dark night hindered the Japanese pirates' actions. In this unfamiliar place, the Japanese pirates would not dare to be arrogant at night.
The twelve Japanese pirates who were beaten to death were all placed on the ground. Now, of course, they no longer looked as arrogant as before. The military households of Dasongwei were both curious and angry at the corpses of the Japanese pirates on the ground. Some people were curiously looking up at the clothes of these Japanese pirates. It turned out that this is how the Japanese pirates looked.
Li Yi asked tentatively: "Sir, these people..."
Zhang Zhun said to Li Yi: "What do you think should be handled?"
Li Yi swallowed hard and said obscenely: "You should have someone see it."
Zhang Zhun nodded and said with a cold expression: "It's not that you want to see it, you have to look at it! You want everyone to see the Japanese pirates' miserable appearance! What's the great thing about Japanese pirates? Japanese pirates are also humans! You can also be killed! Even the Japanese pirates are shorter than us! Look at these Japanese pirate warriors, how many of them are tall? If no one tells you, these Japanese pirates will you be so scared?"
The military households around them were all ashamed.
Indeed, they believed the rumors without meeting the Japanese pirates at all, and hurriedly ran out. In fact, judging from the corpses of the Japanese pirates on the ground, these Japanese pirates were indeed nothing big. If they had known that most of them were shorts, as long as they muster up the courage, they could fight the Japanese pirates one by one. Even if they could not fight one by one, three would definitely be fine.
After pausing slightly, Zhang Zhun said with a cold expression: "You arrange the military households to divide them into twelve routes, and take the corpses of these Japanese pirates and warriors to the surrounding areas where military households hide from them to the public! If you have seen the Japanese pirates with your own eyes, you still have no courage to resist, you will be cowards without eggs! You have cut your little cocks and go to the palace to be eunuchs!"
Li Yi hurried to go.
Compared with before, Li Yi's actions this time were obviously much more active and confident. With the corpses of these Japanese pirates and warriors as a model, I believe some military households will have the courage to fight against Japanese pirates. As Zhang Zhun said, even though they know that Japanese pirates are like this, they can still be killed, but they still don't have the courage to fight against Japanese pirates, they deserve to be cowardly and have no future.
Li Yi's most conservative estimate is that it should be no problem to mobilize two thousand military households. In his heart, Li Yi really admired Zhang Zhun so much that he was overwhelmed. The legendary extremely cruel Japanese pirates were easily dealt with by Zhang Zhun. No wonder the Tartars on Tian Hengdao were not Zhang Zhun's opponents. The Hu Ben Army is indeed a god! But why didn't Zhang Zhun buy the court's account? Or did the court not buy the Zhang Zhun's account?
Yan Guizang was even more impressed. He was standing beside Zhang Zhun and watched Zhang Zhun raise his muskets and shoot at the Japanese pirates. At that time, Yan Guizang was still thinking, how could he hit the target at such a long distance? Isn’t this a waste of ammunition? Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun and others not only hit the target, but also hit all of them. Nine people fired together, and nine Japanese pirates fell down on the spot. The remaining three Japanese pirates were also dealt with.
Yan Guizang couldn't even admire such a magical shooting accuracy. In an instant, Zhang Zhun's image in his mind suddenly became much taller. Subconsciously, Yan Guizang was willing to do things with a person like Zhang Zhun. At this moment, Yan Guizang stood beside Zhang Zhun, as if a child was seeking credit, and said nervously: "Sir, what do you want to do now?"
Zhang Zhun looked around casually and said lightly: "Arrang people to get up tomorrow morning to make breakfast for 800 people, and then go to bed."
Yan Guizang was slightly stunned. Of course there was no problem in arranging people to cook. Although Dasongwei was equally poor, he could still afford to treat this meal. However, arranging people to cook was really not a big contribution! Li Yi was busy mobilizing military households, but he wanted to sleep. He always felt a little lost. He didn't do anything meaningful, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't seem to be valued by Zhang Zhun.
Zhang Zhun said casually: "If you don't sleep, you won't have the energy to fight against the Japanese pirates tomorrow. If you are slashed by the Japanese pirates, don't blame me."
Yan Guizang said hesitantly: "I...I want to fight against the Japanese pirates too?"
In his heart, he felt that since the Hu Ben Army was here, the Hu Ben Army was the one who took the lead. They just wanted to cheer behind the local military households. To be honest, Yan Guizang did not have confidence in the combat effectiveness of the local military households. Even if three fights one, they may not be able to chew off the Japanese pirates. In theory, it is one thing, but in fact it is another thing.
Theoretically, the imperial court has invested so much silver and so many troops in Liaodong, so it should have been eliminated. However, the painful fact is that the Tartars have become more and more powerful. In theory, it should not be a problem to deal with one Japanese pirate. In fact... well, Yan Guizang himself feels embarrassing.
Zhang Zhun deliberately stimulated Yan Guizang and said coldly: "If you are afraid, forget it."
Yan Guizang suddenly felt his blood surge, and he felt as if he was underestimated. He was young and vigorous and full of energy, and could not stand Zhang Zhun's agitation and immediately said: "Sir, to be honest, I am indeed a little scared. The muskets in our Haiyang Institute are basically unfired and cannot be used to fight at all."
Zhang Zhun looked at him squintedly and said disapprovingly: "Isn't it okay to use a knife?"
Yan Guizang was slightly stunned again, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
Zhang Zhun said with a stern expression: "Weapons are actually not important. What matters is whether you have the determination to fight to the death. More than a thousand Japanese pirates and tens of thousands of military households, even if each person has a knife and one of ten will kill each other, right? Look at the bodies of the Japanese pirates just now, ten of you rushed forward, with your waist, sword, spear, bow, arrow, etc., all of you went into battle. Can't you kill the other party?"
Yan Guizang felt deeply ashamed. Yes, if the Dasongwei military households had the courage to fight against the Japanese pirates, ten people rushed forward and greeted the Japanese pirates with all kinds of weapons, they might not have been able to take the Japanese pirates' lives. However, no one had such courage. When most people heard the Japanese pirates' names, they were scared first, and they wished that their parents would have two more legs and let themselves run faster. Where would they have the courage to pick up weapons to fight?
Zhang Zhun didn't say much, and fell asleep.
Yan Guizang also found a place to lie down and have a good sleep to prepare for tomorrow's battle. However, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Finally, he simply took out his waist knife and held it in his hand to slowly caress the blade. As a hereditary family, Yan Guizang's waist knife was passed on to him by his father. It is said that it was made of good iron and was quite sharp. Cutting it down with one knife can easily cut off a horse's head.
Unfortunately, after so many years, the blade seemed to be less sharp. Yan Guizang found a whetstone and carefully sharpened the waist knife. Then he carefully placed it and took a nap on the waist knife for a while. In a daze, he fell asleep in a daze.
...
The morning light opened the dark side of the earth, and before we knew it, a new day came. Then, the sun emerged from the horizon as usual, sprinkling the bright sunshine on the earth. The morning sunshine is always so gentle and gentle, bringing a pleasant feeling to everyone.
In the camp, no one talked, and everyone was busy with their own affairs. They cooked, prepared weapons, and prepared weapons. There were many people sharpening their knives. Perhaps many people's waists were rusted. Some people were holding their weapons and sat there in a daze. The arrival of a new day means the beginning of the battle. Who knows what the result will be when fighting with Japanese pirates?
After Zhang Zhun woke up, he jogged around the campsite for a few laps, moved his body, and then started the busy day with energy. Yan Guizang had arranged the military households to prepare breakfast for everyone. Zhang Zhun moved quickly and finished the breakfast in just two seconds. When he was having breakfast, few people said a word, and everyone's faces seemed quite serious. It seemed that he was still a little nervous about today's battle.
Just after breakfast, Li Yi came back. He mobilized more than 300 military households and gathered at the camp with various weapons. These military households naturally mustered up the courage to arrive after seeing the bodies of the Japanese pirates. Then, more military households arrived with weapons. After a night of hard work, Li Yi mobilized nearly 2,000 military households, and their results were pretty good.
It was just that the weapons of these military households made Zhang Zhun feel very moved. Most of the weapons of these military households were waist knives and spears. There were not only muskets, but they themselves didn't believe whether they could be fired in battle. Therefore, few people carried muskets. Even some of the waist knives and spears obviously had to be well polished to restore their original sharpness. The busiest thing in the entire camp was probably the whetstones.
If you want to do things well, you must first sharpen your weapons. A powerful army must have powerful weapons. With powerful weapons alone, you cannot forge a powerful army. However, without powerful weapons, you must not forge a powerful army.
"Sir, Biaozi Camp reports to you!"
As Chen time passed, Zhang Youcai finally appeared in front of Zhang Zhun.
After a whole night of rapid march, the soldiers of the Biaozi Battalion finally arrived. After a long period of rapid march, the soldiers were very tired, and some soldiers were behind. In fact, only about 530 people arrived.
"Okay! Everyone have a break!"
"Breakfast is ready."
Zhang Zhun said happily.
When the Biaozi Camp arrived, he had the most powerful force in his hands. With the Biaozi Camp by his side, he would accompany him to the end no matter what the Japanese pirates wanted to do. Zhang Zhun was a little worried just now. If the Japanese pirates left the city at this time, he would not have his own army and could only watch temporarily. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Biaozi Camp finally arrived. He no longer needed to watch.
Of course, Li Yi, Yan Guizang and others should express a warm welcome to the arrival of the main force of the Hu Ben Army. The gathered military households also looked at the soldiers of the Biaozi Camp curiously. Many military households were whispering quietly, not knowing what they were saying. However, from their eyes, Zhang Zhun felt a little that they might not believe that the Hu Ben Army could really deal with the Japanese pirates.
"Sir, the Japanese pirates are doing." The soldiers of the Biao Battalion had just sat down to have breakfast. Before they could fill their stomachs, Ma Yi rushed over.
"What action?" Zhang Zhun asked calmly.
"The Japanese pirates may have to leave the city." Ma Yi said cautiously.
"Get out of the city?" Zhang Zhun said to himself.
The twelve warriors of the Japanese pirates disappeared last night, so they must be looking for them. It is not surprising that they will leave the city. Especially now it is broad daylight, and the Japanese pirates are no longer concerned. The key is that after the Japanese pirates leave the city, they will be looking for where to move forward and how much force will they invest.
From Zhang Zhun's perspective, of course, the more Japanese pirates left the city, the better. The more Japanese pirates left the city, the fewer Japanese pirates left behind in Dasong City. It is much easier to collect Japanese pirates outside the city than to attack the city. It is also very beneficial to rescue hostages. It would be even better if the large Japanese pirates' troops left the city and only a small number of people were left to defend the city.
"Continue to monitor." Zhang Zhun said calmly.
"I understand!" Ma Yi agreed to go.
Zhang Zhun stood in front of a piece of sand and carefully measured the situation between the two sides. On the sand in front of him, there was a map outlined with branches. This is the topography of Dasong City and the surrounding areas outlined last night.
The Japanese pirates attacked Dasongwei this time, because they wanted to plunder wealth. After plundering a certain amount of wealth, they would evacuate quickly. It should be said that they had no intention of occupying Dasongwei and seizing territory. Therefore, these Japanese pirates stayed in Dasong City for no more than ten days. They had to board the ship and escape before the large-scale reaction of the Chinese army.
After occupying Dasong City, in order to plunder more wealth, Japanese pirates may continue to plunder nearby towns. From west to east, there are four counties including Jimo, Laiyang, Qixia, Wendeng, and other garrisons in the east. To plunder wealth, they can only kill these places.
Of course, the chances of Japanese pirates leaving the city to retaliate against and kill people are also very high. They should have guessed that the twelve samurai who left the city before were killed. Of course, the Japanese pirates would not give up. When they dragged the Japanese pirates last night, they must have left traces, and they would definitely follow these bloodstains.
Sure enough, not long after, Ma Yi came back in a hurry. He sent the latest information. The Japanese pirates did leave the city, with about 250 people in total, carrying muskets. The direction of their attack was exactly where Zhang Zhun was now. It was obvious that revenge and murder were coming.
"Baozi Camp!"
"Prepare for the fight!"
Zhang Zhun shouted decisively.
More than 250 Japanese pirates happened to be a delicious meal delivered to their doorstep!
If these Japanese pirates were hiding in the city, the Hu Ben Army would have to spend some effort to deal with them. Now, they actually went out of the city to die, which would be really a great cooperation. If the Hu Ben Army did not accept such a big gift, I would be sorry for God's favor.
"The first association is on the left!"
"The second association is on the right!"
Jerry Yang quickly ordered the troops to disperse.
Since the nearby terrain is relatively flat and it is unlikely to ambush, Zhang Zhun took a pose of greeting. Since it is impossible to ambush, then face it head-on. There are more than 500 people in the Biaozi Camp and only 250 Japanese pirates, which just caught the other party off guard. He eliminated all Japanese pirates cleanly and allowed all the military households watching the battle to see the power of the Hu Ben Army.
"Cross!"
"Cross!"
"Cross!"
The sound of officers at all levels kept coming.
The soldiers of the Biaozi Camp moved quickly and lined up.
The local military households of Dasongwei near the camp were once again eye-opening. Although they had not seen the combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben Army's large army, they were deeply impressed by the rapid movements of the Hu Ben Army soldiers. Especially Li Yi, Yan Guizang and others, they were even more envious and jealous, and were greatly shocked. This is the real army!
The troops they had seen before were slow and slow when they lined up, so how could they react so quickly? Even the soldiers of Dengzhou Prefecture did not react so quickly when they lined up. Ranking is the most basic quality of the army. If they couldn't even do this, what would they talk about combat effectiveness? If Dasongwei had such an army, how could it be the turn of Japanese pirates to rage?
"The Japanese pirates are here!"
"The Japanese pirates are here!"
"The Japanese pirates are here!"
To be continued...
