Chapter 1506: Nonsense, isn’t this giving heads to Japanese pirates?
When Nabeshima was about to give the order to retreat, Matsuura Sanbanro did not betray Nabeshima's trust. He opened his mouth and gave Nabeshima a step to retreat, thus saving Nabeshima's face.
"General, reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have arrived. Look at their military flags and write the two characters 'Zhu' and 'Zhe'. Zhu' is the surname of the Ming Dynasty. This army is holding a banner with the word "Zhu". It is very likely that it belongs to the Ming Dynasty.
The army is led by the children of the royal family. If the army is led by the children of the royal family, then this army must be the elite of the Ming army. In addition, this reinforcement also carries the banner with the word "Zhejiang", which must come from Jiangsu and Zhejiang of the Ming Dynasty. Since we landed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we have penetrated deep into the interior of the Ming Dynasty.
After fighting for more than a thousand miles, I compared the combat effectiveness of the armies of various parts of the Ming Dynasty and found that the combat effectiveness of the Zhejiang army was the strongest among them. This elite royal family army from Jiangsu and Zhejiang certainly has a combat effectiveness that is not comparable to that of the ordinary Ming army. There are
With these reinforcements constraining us, it will be extremely difficult for us to break through Yingtian Jucheng, and there is still the danger of being attacked by the Ming army from above and below, both internally and externally. I would like to ask the general to plan for His Highness's important task, and for the time being let the Ming people accompany Jucheng and order the withdrawal."
Matsuura Sanbanro made a subtle analysis and made a suggestion to Nabeshima Naoshima to withdraw the troops.
"I beg the general to order the withdrawal of troops."
After finishing speaking, Matsuura Sanbanro closed his legs, bowed solemnly at 45 degrees, and formally requested Naoshima Nabeshima.
Hearing Matsuura Sanbanro's sincere request for troop withdrawal, Nabeshima couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey, Sanbanro, you are so outstanding. I really saw you right."
Of course, Matsuura Sanbanro was happy in his heart, but on his face he still had a look of being indifferent to life and death and would just do it if he refused. He suddenly changed his expression and said, "Sanbanro, it doesn't matter if the reinforcements come, it doesn't matter if the emperor's relatives lead the army, the Ming army is elite.
What, why bother to increase the morale of the Ming people and destroy your own prestige? Well, the reinforcements of the Ming people came just in time, we will defeat this elite royal family in front of the defenders on the city and scare them out of their courage!"
"General, it is worthwhile for us to fight in the field, but it is not wise to fight with Ming people in the city under the city. It is easy to be attacked by people above and below the city, and outside the city. For the sake of your highness's important mission, I also ask the general to order the withdrawal of the troops. If Yingtian City is evacuated, and
If this royal reinforcement is desperate to pursue you, I will be the vanguard to defeat this reinforcement for the general, capture the Emperor Ming's relatives alive, and present them to the general."
Matsuura Sanbanro said with confidence.
"This" Nabeshima Masao was reserved again.
Seeing this, Matsuura Sanbanro pointed at Zhu Ping'an and the Zhejiang troops who came to fight with great fanfare, bowed to Nabeshima Masao again, and urged, "Akito's reinforcements are getting closer and closer. Please put the overall situation first, general.
Make a decision early."
"well"
Nabeshima Masao had an expression on his face that showed he was unwilling but concerned about the overall situation. He grinned and let out a long sigh. He raised his head and glanced fiercely at the top of Yingtian City, then turned around and glared fiercely at the Zhejiang Army that was getting closer and closer. Finally,
With a face full of reluctance, he said: "That's all, for the sake of His Highness's important mission, I will follow your words and let this city go for the time being!"
now!
The Zhejiang army led by Zhu Pingan was already less than 300 meters away from the Japanese pirates, and both sides could clearly see each other.
This was the first time that the Zhejiang army went to the battlefield. They looked at the Japanese pirates' nondescript Tsukiyo heads, ferocious Japanese armor, and ferocious faces, as well as their bloody Japanese swords, and the two carts full of Ming soldiers who refused to rest in silence.
At the first level, some soldiers couldn't help but become a little timid.
"Didn't you say that as soon as we show up, the Japanese pirates will run away?! Why don't the Japanese pirates run away yet?"!
"Oh my god, this is my first time seeing a Japanese pirate. They look so scary."
"Have you seen it? There are two carts full of heads in front of the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates are too cruel."
Some soldiers of the Zhejiang Army couldn't help but timidly whispered, and their steps were a little confused.
They used to be bandits who occupied the mountains and robbed the merchants and people who passed by. When the merchants and people saw them, they kowtowed and begged for mercy. Very few resisted. Even when the officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed them, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. Just like this
It was their first time to face off against the Japanese pirates who bared their teeth and showed murderous intent.
There are quite a few people in the Zhejiang Army who suffer from the bad habit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It was not visible before.
Once on the battlefield, many people were exposed.
The formation of the Zhejiang army gradually became disorganized due to the confusion of the footsteps of these timid soldiers.
Zhu Ping'an noticed this keenly and couldn't help frowning, but he also knew in his heart that the Zhejiang Army was adapted from bandits and bandits, and the training time was not long. These problems are also a reality.
Fortunately, Zhu Ping'an had already made sufficient preparations. He modified fifty carriages before leaving. Except for the direction of the pushing hand, thickened wooden boards were installed in the other three directions as barriers to movement. He also selected brave men to carry out the movement at any time.
Protect the formation to avoid being overwhelmed by Japanese pirates.
"The chariot moves forward to protect the formation. Everyone can advance without retreating. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"!
After Zhu Pingan discovered that the Zhejiang army was showing signs of dispersion, he immediately ordered the chariots to move forward to protect the formation.
With the wooden cart in front, the soldiers felt a sense of security, and the formation would not be scattered again.
"Now, regardless of accuracy or distance, everyone just shoots arrows and firecrackers forward."
Zhu Pingan then gave the order.
The Zhejiang Army did not train for more than a month in vain. After Zhu Pingan gave the order, they subconsciously raised their bows, arrows and muskets, and fired arrows forward. Of course, this place was originally outside the shooting range, and the Zhejiang Army's shooting level was not high.
There is no need to count on their range and accuracy. The Zhejiang Army's maneuvers were as fierce as a tiger's. Arrows and projectiles flew forward in overwhelming numbers, but as soon as they flew, they either fell halfway or missed, and the miss was not light. Not to mention
One hundred and eight thousand miles, there are also seventeen or eighteen meters.
However, in the eyes of the people in the city, the Zhejiang army was extremely brave. They jumped out of the woods like a tiger and rushed straight towards the Japanese pirates. The roof of the flatbed truck with thick wooden boards installed halfway was like a moving barrier.
When the formation was about to take over, the Zhejiang army soldiers began to fire rifles
The morale in the city was greatly boosted, and the soldiers and civilians cheered.
Of course, there are some people who don't see it this way, such as Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and others. They think they know the military affairs, and while looking at the situation below the city, they shake their heads and sigh.
"Where did this reinforcement come from? Do you know how to fight? Like a reckless man, he didn't set up a cone formation, fish scale formation, missing moon formation or anything like that. He just rushed in. Like a reckless man, there were flaws everywhere...
"Zhejiang Army? Oh, I remembered. This is the newly established regiment training of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Punishment and Procuratorate Department. It seems to be commanded by Mr. Zhu Ping'an who gave the warning before. It is said that the total strength is only more than 800 people."
"Nonsense! Hu Yushi led more than a thousand elites, but they were still defeated by the Japanese pirates. A small regiment with less than a thousand people dared to charge like this without a stable foothold. It is already evening, the sky is dark, and there is no way to set up camp and wait for tomorrow.
Selecting elites in the city and then attacking them from both inside and outside, and hastily attacking before a firm foothold is established. Isn't this a way to kill the Japanese pirates?
"If we are defeated by the Japanese pirates in front of the whole city, the morale of the city defenders will be ruined..."
In their view, the Zhejiang army would be defeated by the Japanese pirates in the blink of an eye.
