On the hill six or seven miles away, surrounded by people, Xu Hai pressed the hilt of the knife with his right hand and looked at the shaking Shangyu County town with satisfaction.

Although he was driven down from the city again and again, there was no doubt that the defenders' resistance was getting lower and lower, and they were almost unable to hold on.

Xu Hai didn't care about the fall of Shangyu County. He cared about Liu Xian, who was stationed in Yuyao. For this reason, he released many small groups of Japanese pirates to the north as scouts. Once Liu Xian came to support, he could immediately reorganize his army and suppress it.

At this moment, the sound of drums came, and Xu Hai frowned and listened carefully. The drums became louder and louder. He picked up the telescope and changed direction. He was surprised to see the defenders on the other side of Yaojiang River lined up out of the camp, and the flags were flying high towards the Japanese pirates opposite.

The confrontation between the side troops was nothing more than reminding the official army not to think about aiding Shangyu County. Xu Hai did not think that the other party would provoke.

Regarding Qian Yuan and Qi Jimei's official army, Xu Hai decided to confront him with less than a thousand people after repeated thought.

Xu Hai knew very well that this was a hard bone, strong combat power and high morale. He even set up camps. Seeing that Xu Hai didn't want to fight... The most important thing is that Xu Hai could eat it if he wanted to eat, but he would definitely have to pay a price.

Xu Hai did not want the main force to be injured because of the less than a thousand people's official army, so that the next battle was powerless. If Liu Xian can be defeated successfully, could these thousand people still go against the sky?

But in the telescope, I could clearly see that the officers and soldiers in the helmets and armor were arranged neatly, slowly but without stopping, and the long spears raised were like dense steel forests, with the flat wolf teeth flashing with cold light, and the bird gunners wandering on both wings.

The Japanese pirates on the opposite side were at a loss. In the expectation, this official army would not be able to push forward with all their might. Not to mention that there were bridges built by fishing boats on the Yaojiang River that could allow Japanese pirates to increase their troops, Shangyu County is almost broken.

Xu Hai frowned and thought for a moment, turned around and took a big stroll down the hill, and turned over and galloped towards Yaojiang.

"General, this is a punishment for not eating toast!" The Japanese pirate leader beside him shouted: "Why just eat them?"

"It's enough to transfer one thousand times. Qian Zhan has been very famous all these years. I want to see if this guy has three heads and six arms!"

The messy suggestions sounded in my ears, and Xu Hai turned a deaf ear and rushed to the Yao River. He then picked up the telescope and looked carefully. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart that seven or eight hundred officials had already left the camp...why just eat it?

Xu Hai could see it, and Qian Yuan in the camp could naturally see it too.

"It seems to be Xu Hai?" Qi Jimei did not go into battle in person this time, but asked General Yang Wenzhang to "Is he tempted me?"

Qian Yuan put down his telescope and shook his head and said, "It's just a trick, it's better than nothing, let's start."

Peng Feng turned around and sent a command. On the hill behind him, a red flag was raised, and to the top of the peak eastward, another red flag was raised.

Yang Wen had already fought with the Japanese pirates, and the bird guns on the flanks kept firing their guns, causing more than a hundred Japanese pirates to rush over, but the bird gunmen immediately gathered in the middle and hid in the array. However, the army on the banks of Yaojiang River was not convenient to unfold horizontally, and the Japanese pirates had no choice but to do anything about it.

Yang Wen led four posts to fight, one whistle ahead, and the other whistle was the central army, with one whistle on the left and right. There was basically no danger of being side-striped by the Japanese pirates. The outpost threw short spears and bird guns to help them. The Japanese pirates could not stand the stand and retreated repeatedly, but the axes and long arrows shot from flying also caused casualties.

"Don't worry, Yang Wen is very smart." Qi Jimei whispered: "It's just pretending to behave and delaying time."

"I'm afraid that he will not stand the enemy when he sees the Japanese pirates, so he will rush and attack..." Qian Yuan looked carefully at the other side. Xu Hai's main force was moving to this side. In fact, it doesn't matter. Qian Yuan just wanted to do his best, or to make fewer casualties.

At this time, Zheng Ruozeng, who was holding a telescope and observing the other side, suddenly said: "No, the Japanese pirates' back formation is in chaos."

Hu Zongxian snatched the telescope and took a closer look, "It's indeed a bit messy, this is..."

"Sir, reinforcements have arrived!" Shen Mingchen shouted: "Look!"

Everyone followed Shen Mingchen's hand and looked upstream of Yaojiang. They saw that on Yaojiang, which was blocked by Shangyu County, five or six ships were docking. Soldiers in iron armor jumped off the ship and rushed to the ashore with weapons in their hands.

"No, it's not reinforcements." Zheng Ruozeng immediately saw the clues. He turned to look at Qian Yuan. This should be the backup plan I had laid before.

Qian Yuan nodded slightly, "It's indeed not reinforcements, but how did Brother Bolu see it?"

"Qi Yuanjing was born in a general, and he was familiar with military tactics and did not lack experience in combat formations. If he really led his troops to support him, he would not choose a place so close to Shangyu County to stop the ship and dock. If he was not good, he would be blocked by the Japanese pirates." Zheng Ruo once explained: "Qi Yuanjing would definitely disembark at least five miles away from Shangyu County and attack the army."

The results in the book are so shallow, Qian Yuan couldn't help but nod. This is a detail that is easily overlooked.

Wang Yin, who had been dominating the telescope, suddenly screamed: "Zhancai, didn't you say that Wu Ding'an has entered the city?!"

Wang Yin and Wu Chengqi were fellow villagers. They met in their early years and later they made friends in the Governor's Office.

Qian Yuan said nothing with a stern face. Instead, he advised Wu Chengqi to enter the city. Unfortunately, this guy looks gentle and can recite poems and essays. Kuaiji Dianjian and Songjiang prosecutors are all civil servants, but he went to the battlefield and shouted fiercely, not to avoid life and death, and he had to take the initiative to volunteer.

Those who had telescopes in their hands looked carefully. After only a moment of docking, nearly two hundred soldiers had gathered together and ran towards the city wall of Shangyu County, and headed north along the city wall. The two people who rushed to the front were very familiar with each other, one was Wang Yi, the leader of the guard team, and the other was Wu Chengqi, the procurator of Songjiang.

The wind was already blowing, and it happened to be a good wind... Wu Chengqi thought so in his heart for no reason. The wind whistling in his ears, the heart pounding in his chest, and the blood all over his body seemed to rush into his brain...

accelerate!

Accelerate again!

Several soldiers holding wolf teeth squids came out to disrupt the Japanese pirate formation. The soldiers behind threw out the first batch of short spears. Wu Chengqi waved his two swords and was the first to enter the formation along the gap. He raised his sword and slashed two Japanese pirates in succession. More than a hundred people behind him raised their swords and came to fight.

From the appearance of ships, to the gathering of soldiers ashore, to Wang Yi, Wu Chengqi fought all the way with the city wall as a cover, the Japanese pirates had almost no time to respond.

Although Xu Hai released many scouts to the north and some Japanese pirates discovered these six or seven ships, the soldiers with Qian's guards as the core had clear goals and strong execution ability, and did not give any chance to assemble the Japanese pirates who were sieging the city.

Nearly two hundred soldiers, all of whom were covered with helmets and armor. Each of them was strong and had rich experience in combat formations. In addition to the Qian family's guards, the warriors picked out from the entire army were supplemented.

Even if the two hundred soldiers are placed on the battlefield where tens of thousands of people are facing each other and invested in a critical time point, this is a powerful force that can turn the tables.

Almost instantly, the three hundred Japanese pirates gathered together to prepare for siege were completely defeated and fled everywhere crying and calling for their parents. Wang Yi glanced at the flag commanding the direction on the city and shouted loudly to drive the Japanese pirates to the northwest direction.

Xu Hai's main force was six or seven miles away, and the Japanese pirates had only dozens of horses. There was no time to come in a short period of time. What's more, Qi Jimei's deliberate army made the Japanese pirates move south. The only Japanese pirates who maintained the system and arrived in time were only two groups. One was more than a hundred real Japanese pirates who served as the supervisor, and the other was hundreds of Japanese pirates around Wu Dahu.

It is natural to choose who to choose. The combat effectiveness of the real Japanese is far stronger than that of ordinary Japanese pirates.

It was bustling with the Japanese pirates who were deliberately driven away and the supervisory team that arrived. The real Japanese tried to make the deserters turn back to the enemy, but in order to escape, the Japanese pirates took off without hesitation.

Soon, the supervision team composed of real Japanese was dispersed. Wang Yi and Wu Chengqi did not stop and led the soldiers through the formation. They did not care about the Japanese pirates who were climbing down or fleeing on the ladder. The soldiers pointed directly at Wu Dahu with a big flag.

Xu Hai, six or seven miles away, was as dark as the bottom of the pot, and could only swing the whip hard. He knew very well that even if the main force rushed over, it would be too late. Can you expect Wu Dahu to be able to stop it?

But where did this reinforcements come from?

Why didn't the scout find it?

Indeed, in ordinary meaning, it is difficult for ambushers to escape the eyes of scouts, but in the southeast, the mountains and rivers of mountains gave Qian Yuan this opportunity.

On the night when Wang Yi and Wu Chengqi arrived in Shangyu to defeat the Japanese pirates in the city, they led 200 soldiers to the upper reaches of Yaojiang and hid in the mountains.
