Chapter 502 Waste Materials
In this era, communication is always difficult. Even important military reports and military information often occur, not to mention that Shaoxing Prefecture is in chaos and news is cut off from the north and south.
But there is no need to communicate with each other by your eyes. Yu Dayou knew that the Japanese pirates were defeated.
Of course, I also need a small prop, the telescope that Qian Yuan gave him a few years ago.
Originally, Yu Dayou was planning to lead 500 soldiers to touch the Umogfeng Town... According to Zhou Ji's recollection, there were no more than 200 Japanese pirates left behind in the town.
But before I could get close to the Umogwind Town, the torches in the distance made Yu Dayou stunned. Is it the Japanese pirates returning to the army? Or is the Japanese pirates retreating?
When Yu Dayou led Zhou Ze to climb the hill and watched a large number of Japanese pirates running into the Hunfeng Town in a panic, he realized that the government army won a great victory and the Japanese pirates were defeated. The numbers behind him should be the official army chasing the enemy.
"It depends on your good idea!" The guard touched the cold sweat on his head. If he had set out earlier, the group of people were blocked in the Umbsweep Town, which would have been called "Daily Tiantian should not be effective."
"How can I know..." Zhou Ji was also touching the cold sweat on his head and said in a daze: "What should I do now?"
"Pooh!"
Yu Dayou spat fiercely, frightening Zhou Ji and the guards next to him.
You should know that Yu Dayou has always been regarded as a Confucian general by the Southeastern scholars. This Confucian general did not write a few poems like Qi Jiguang... When Yu Dayou was young, he practiced the Book of Changes with the Great Confucian scholars. In the words of the Southeastern scholars, he dare not say that the title of the Five Classics is excellent, but it is no problem to pass the provincial examination in Zhejiang!
In fact, before joining the army, Yu Dayou was a student... passed the exam for a scholar!
Therefore, no matter what happens, Yu Dayou is as peaceful as Mount Tai. Even if Pinghu was defeated and forced to Chongde, he would be calm.
But today, Yu Dayou became fierce... He has never been sure of not going to fight, so he has to play a big game today!
Xu Hai was the first to return to the Umogwind Town. Although he could not ride a horse at night, he rode a horse and ran far before night fell.
However, Xu Hai did not flee immediately, but stopped in the Umogwind Town and tried to gather the remaining troops.
It would be impossible not to gather it. Countless Japanese pirates are scattering towards the north. The official army is chasing behind them. If Xu Hai does not gather the Japanese pirates and bear it slightly, the official army can chase them all the way to Lihai. How many people can climb a Shanghai boat to escape?
Xu Hai did not have a kind heart, but knew that he had made countless enemies over the years. If he had lost this time, he would know if anyone would be killed by him.
Zhou Ji poked his head out from behind the mountain, took the telescope and looked down for a few times, muttering: "In the past... there should be four or five hundred, right?"
"At least five hundred." The guard next to him was Li Sheng, who was Li Liangqin's nephew. Yu Dayou's army had many disciples and children from the clan.
"I don't know who was chasing the Japanese pirates... It was slow." Zhou Ji looked at the torches with almost no changes in the distance, "At this speed, the Japanese pirates went out of the sea, and they hadn't arrived at the usurpant town yet!"
Soon after this, the fire point in the distance gradually grew larger, and hundreds of torches rushed straight towards the usurpation town.
Zhou Ji smacked his lips, "The Japanese pirates are used to setting ambush, so it's better to be careful."
Li Sheng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help rolling his eyes, and he let you finish the words alone.
"This agent Xu Hai is used to seeking life from the dead, and he strives hard in the dilemma..." Zhou Ji's face was a little dark, "During midnight, I'm so anxious, if the Japanese pirates really set up an ambush..."
"It may not be possible. The Japanese pirates were defeated. Look, there are everywhere in the mountains and fields. If we hadn't climbed 80% of the time, we would have to run into the ambush, and we would have the spare energy to set up an ambush?"
The low-pitched discussion continued, Zhou Ji and Li Sheng were fighting non-stop, the former was still resenting the latter to sweep himself down with one stick...
"Can you blame others if you are not capable?"
"Bah, you beat one of three and even use a long stick to win. Are you shameless?"
There is a saying that when you look at the mountain, the fleeing Japanese pirates, and the pursuing Japanese pirates pass by one by one at the foot of the mountain. The two of them hold on without a word, for fear of falling asleep. Yu Dayou sent them here to usurp the Japanese pirates who were in the wind town.
"Look!" Li Sheng pinched Zhou Ji who was about to fall asleep, "There are really ambushes!"
Zhou Ji rubbed his sleepy eyes hard, looked through the moonlight, and found that the torch that was actually neat was already in chaos, like a long snake being cut off, the fire point gradually dissipated and gradually extinguished, disappearing one by one into the night.
"It's Liu Xian." Zhou Ji sighed.
"Why?"
This is a simple judgment. Although Zhou Ji has been with the Japanese pirates for more than a year, the news is not so closed. Some of the pursuing officials passed by the foot of the mountain. He could see clearly that there was no wolf-tooth slut... And several official troops in the south and east of Shaoxing Prefecture, including Qi Jiguang, Ningbo Prefecture and Lu Bin, who were behind, all used wolf-tooth sluts to lead the way.
An hour later, in the village more than ten miles away from the Hu Feng Town, Hu Zongxian no longer had a calm temperament and jumped and cursed. Zheng Ruozeng was so angry that he was breathing heavily. Mao Kun broke the brush in his hand. However, Qian Yuan was not moving, and he yawned expressionlessly.
Qian Yuan had no objection to Hu Zongxian's arrangement at the head of Shangyu City, but the problem was that Hu Zongxian overestimated the combat power of Liu Xian's command and underestimated the combat power of the Japanese pirates who were in desperate situations.
Qi Jiguang led his army to encircle and suppress more than a thousand Japanese pirates left by Xu Hai, and Liu Xian, who had been surrounded from the north...the four thousand official troops were actually broken out by Xu Hai.
Liu Xian was previously stationed in Shanyin and was attacked by Japanese pirates, and his strength was greatly damaged. His general Yue Puhe was a former general of Cao Bang. He was quite famous in the army and was not very popular. Liu Xian was not very good at it.
Later, Hu Zongxian transferred two thousand soldiers from the command of Tang Kekuan, the general of the Western Zhejiang Gang, to keep Liu Xian's command of nearly four thousand soldiers... But those old men under Tang Kekuan made a way without hesitation in the face of the Japanese pirates who fought desperately to fight for a path of blood.
Liu Xian wanted to fight, and it was said that a big knife killed more than ten Japanese pirates... But this was useful. At dusk, Xu Hai led more than a thousand Japanese pirates to defeat Liu Xian and fled north.
"If you can't beat it, you have to stick to it!" Liang Sheng in the corner muttered angrily: "It's time!"
Wang Yi winked, it was not our turn to talk in this room.
Originally, Hu Zongxian's plan was quite perfect. Liu Xian cut off the life path of Xu Hai to the north, and even if he lost, he could entrap him. When Qi Jiguang freed up his hands to pursue him, he would definitely defeat the remaining thousand Japanese pirates the next day.
But Liu Xian was too useless. He let Xu Hai kill through it and could not even stick to it. Qian Yuan could only send a message immediately, allowing Qi Jimei, who had just captured Lianghu, to lead his army north. However, when Hu Zongxian, Qian Yuan and others arrived, Liu Xian's four thousand troops... only two thousand maintained the establishment.
Hu Zongxian was naturally furious and ordered Liu Xian to lead his army to pursue him immediately, and he must not let the Japanese pirates escape from the sea.
Qian Yuan doesn't care about this... He can't beat him face to face, but he still chases him, chases him!
And if you think about the journey, Xu Hai should have returned to the Hunfeng Town by this time. This town is less than ten miles away from Lihai. Xu Hai can escape from the sea at any time. No matter how fast Wu Baipeng and Yuepu River are, they cannot block the Japanese pirates.
But after pursuing, pursuing, pursuing... he was ambushed by the Japanese pirates and defeated again. Qian Yuan was angry and laughed.
"A general is incompetent to exhaust the three armies." Mao Kun gritted his teeth and said, "If the Japanese pirates cannot be blocked, Xu Hai can at least carry a thousand people away from the sea, and he may be rekindled."
Hu Zongxian glanced at Qian Yuan, and he knew that although he was scolding others, Qian Yuan did not say a word, but among the people present, Qian Yuan was afraid that Qian Yuan would be most angry.
That's of course. Xu Hai and a thousand people leave the sea, which means that Qian Yuan's subsequent plans cannot be implemented unless Ge Hao can lead the navy to capture Xu Hai at sea... but this is almost impossible.
After a long period of silence, Hu Zongxian stood up and said, "Sentences that those small groups of Japanese pirates fleeing do not need to be managed, so he ordered Qi Yuanjing to lead his troops north immediately.
Let Jiang Zhou and Chen Keyuan go to Ningbo immediately and take a boat to sea.”
Qian Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth, Jiang Zhou, Chen Keyuan went to find Wang Zhi at this time, just to inform Xu Hai that he was defeated, but would Wang Zhi send troops?
With a long sigh, Qian Yuan left the house without saying a word and found a place to fall asleep.
He no longer has any hope.
