Ligang has been destroyed for nearly three months, although there are wars everywhere in Ningbo Prefecture, Taizhou Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture in the coastal areas of Zhejiang.

However, since Zhejiang Governor Wang Jun dispatched troops northward, the scope of activities of Japanese pirates from Jiaxing Prefecture to Songjiang Prefecture has been greatly curbed, and the reputation of the two famous generals, Yu Dayou and Lu Tong, has also risen.

But in fact, whether it is Lu Tong or Yu Dayou, they are very pessimistic about the current situation. They can only lead heavy troops to guard those key points to limit the actions of the Japanese pirates, and it is difficult to launch a direct attack on the Japanese pirates directly.

In other words, the Ming army can only drive the Japanese pirates from here to there, and then drive them from there to here, and then leave the sea after the Japanese pirates have robbed them.

The only good news is that nowadays, Japanese pirates are all in small groups, and there is basically no scene of a large number of Japanese pirates gathering to conquer cities and territory.

However, Lu Tong, who is located in Tonglu, is in a bad mood now. On the one hand, a Japanese pirate entrenched in Haiyan County seems to have the idea of ​​settling down. On the other hand, it is because of his uneasy and unlucky young son. He originally wanted to let him make a good relationship, but he unexpectedly encountered the Japanese pirates besieged the city.

"Sir, the Jiading battle report." A goatee-bearded aide came in and handed a letter, "Five days ago, the Ming army went out of the city to attack the thieves, and the third young master personally killed the four thieves."

Lu Tong was excited, but after browsing it quickly, he threw the letter down in disappointment, "Be smart, Jiading City is small, just guard it, but you just leave the city..."

There was silence in the room. After a moment, Lu Tong gritted his teeth and pounded the table, "Still explain, don't move."

The goatee looked sad. The eldest son of the Lu family was weak and sickly, and the second son became a playboy. Only the youngest son Lu Bin could make it.

"Maybe General Yu can send troops to support..." Goathu was looking for the final possibility, "After all, Songjiang is not far from Jiading."

Lu Tong shook his head. He knew Yu Dayou's personality very well. This was a character who planned the battle and was not sure that he would never go out to fight. Now he was fighting with Japanese pirates in Sichuan Sha, how could he provoke other Japanese pirates?

But Lu Tong was wrong this time, and Yu Dayou also used practical actions to prove why later generations evaluated him above Lu Tong.

Yu Dayou knew very well that this Japanese pirates attacked Jiading was a good thing for him, but if they captured Jiading... as long as they were not bad at brains, they would not continue to attack westward into Suzhou, which was heavily guarded, and Tongzhou was still separated by the Yangtze River.

There is no need for the Japanese pirates to attack him. As long as the news spreads, the morale of the army will be in chaos and the scene will be out of control.

Once Songjiang loses anything else, there are people in the court who come to cause trouble for themselves. Although Xu Jie struggled to support the court, that was only relative to Yan Song.

However, the Japanese pirates on Chuansha are really difficult. If Yu Dayou had not been in charge and hundreds of wolf clay soldiers were transferred, they might have been defeated by the opponent, so he only sent a small number of reinforcements.

"Young Master, I'm back from surveillance." A soldier who was quite old drew a rough map on the ground. "The Japanese pirates were mainly concentrated outside the gate of the west city in Jiading. They had just withdrawn their troops and gathered in a village three or four miles away from the gate."

Hou Jigao, who had only attacked the commander of the Jinshan Guard, licked his dry lips half a year ago, looked up at the vague Jiading City, "Taicang Guard, Zhenhai Guard is basically out of troops, and he can still defend it. Before leaving, General Yu said that General Lu Shen's youngest son is also in the city..."

"Sir, do you enter the city directly?" the veteran suggested: "It should be safe to enter the city from the East City Gate."

After thinking for a moment, Hou Jigao, who was a freshman, refused to be safe and chose to camp in a village seven or eight miles away from Jiading.

...

It's already late at night.

Jiading City fell into darkness, but there were large shadows under the corners of the walls between the east and west gates.

The gate of the west city.

Looking up at the moon covered by dark clouds, Qian Yuan suppressed his nervousness and excited emotions and whispered: "Don't worry, it's still early."

Captain Wu felt his legs were a little weak, and he couldn't help but reach out to hold the protruding part on the wall, "Mr. Qian..."

"Old Wu, maybe someone will set up tablets for you every day in the future." Qian Yuan joked easily, turned to look at Zheng Ruozeng, "Mr. Zheng, do you think you should send someone out to stare?"

"In the night, this kind of manpower... Mr. Lu should have it, and he is still at the gate of the East City." Zheng Ruozeng hesitated: "If you are not careful, maybe..."

At this time, the Wang Family Guard, who has been famous for its worthless shooting for several days, stood up and said, "I'll go."

"you?"

The Wang family guards proudly said: "Honest Master Qian and Mr. Zheng heard that they would not be charged overnight?"

Qian Yuan and Zheng Ruozeng said in surprise in unison: "I won't accept it at night!"

Ye Bushou is the most elite character in the Ming army, almost equivalent to the scouts in later generations.

Qian Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Please, please."

Zheng Ruozeng's lips slightly opened but didn't say anything. He had traveled to the north and was very familiar with this. Not all Ming troops had it. It only exists in the border troops. In other words, the Wang family guards are likely to be a deserter.

Watching the Wang family's yard disappear quietly into the dark night, Qian Yuan said goodbye and went to another city gate.

This time, Lu Bin escorted Sun Chengen to make a good relationship, so the Governor's Yamen and Lu Tong both equipped him with a lot of good things, weapons and armor, and horses.

Qian Yuan touched the head of a strong horse. The horse sniffed and neighed softly. Lu Bin, who was beside him, calmed down after scolding him.

Behind Lu Bin, the Ming army, who had less than fifty people left in the city in the past few days, stood neatly and sternly. Each of them had a tall horse, and from time to time, he took out a piece of bean cake from his bag and handed it to the horse's mouth.

"Are you afraid?"

Hearing the sudden question, Qian Yuan played with the small horse whip and said without raising his head: "Of course I'm afraid."

"Haha, I'm afraid too." Lu Bin smiled reluctantly, the bruises on his face were reflected by the small torch, "But people live forever, and geese leave their names..."

Qian Yuan interrupted impatiently: "It is your duty to be a soldier and kill thieves. It is your fault to leave the city rashly and cause the lack of troops to defend the city. Is it that difficult to tell the truth?"

After a while, Lu Bin, whose face was torn off, nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, if it weren't for me, at least I wouldn't have to do this dangerous move."

"If the army is defeated tonight, the entire Jiading capital will be food from the mouths of Japanese pirates." Qian Yuan threw the horse whip back to Lu Bin, "But if it succeeds tonight, there will be successors in the Lu family."

After a moment of silence, Lu Bin whispered: "I have left three horses on the county yard."

At this time, the moon quietly emerged from the clouds. Lu Bin turned his head and looked at it. Under the reflection of the falling moonlight, Qian Yuan's cold and stern face had no expression on his cold and stern face.

"good."

Hearing this expected answer, Lu Bin was a little disappointed. He pulled the spear and took out the whetstone from his arms and matte it finely.

As the moon penetrated into the clouds again, Jiading City fell into darkness again.

When he heard the sound, Lu Bin paused, "Uncle Li?"

"No problem, unobstructed, the Japanese pirates have been dispatched and are all concentrated not far from the Xicheng Gate."

"Okay." Lu Bin's expression became firm and he turned his head to look at Qian Yuan.

"Open the city gate." Qian Yuan whispered.

Amid the low creaking, the heavy city gate was slowly opened by two town heroes, and the city gate in front was as heart-pounding as black holes.

"Walk."

Lu Bin walked in front with the horse. Now he had nothing to think about, only one thought.
