"Merlin's words make sense. Persistence is victory! Listen to everyone, as long as you hold on until reinforcements arrive, I will be rewarded heavily! I said a reward of one hundred taels of silver just now, but now it has been changed to two hundred taels! As long as you hold on until the reinforcements arrive,
When the reinforcements arrive, everyone will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver! And everyone will be promoted to one rank, a soldier will be promoted to a corps commander, a corps commander will be promoted to a captain, a captain will be promoted to a sentry commander, and so on, everyone will be promoted to a rank.
Level, if I go back on any of my promises afterwards, I will be punished by heaven and earth, both gods and men will be abandoned, and my whole family will die..."
After listening to Hu Zongxian's persuasion, Zhao Wenhua thought for two seconds, nodded vigorously, and firmly decided to wait for help. He raised his right hand high and loudly promised Shang Yin an official title to the guards in front of him who were in danger.
In order to increase the credibility of his promise, Zhao Wenhua swore a poisonous oath and brought his whole family with him.
This is a feudal and superstitious society, where the theory of cause and effect of ghosts and gods is rampant. People still believe in poisonous oaths, especially those involving the whole family.
After hearing Zhao Wenhua's promise to reward him with a silver medal and an oath to bring his whole family with him, the guards became as brave as ever and withstood the Japanese pirates' increasingly fierce attacks one after another, even stabbing them.
Two intruding Japanese pirates were caught.
Of course, the Japanese pirates quickly retaliated, charging in and taking away the lives of five personal guards.
However, with the promise of promotion and reward, the guards overcame their inner fear and withstood the Japanese pirates' attack.
"Damn it, why haven't the reinforcements come yet? They are looking back on their own affairs and they won't last long."
Zhao Wenhua stamped his feet anxiously. He could see that the guard camp could no longer hold on any longer, so he whispered to Hu Zongxian anxiously.
"It will come, it will come..." Although Hu Zongxian's face was calm, there was also a layer of sweat on his back, and he was panicking in his heart.
At this moment, someone from the guards in front suddenly shouted in high spirits, "Look, look in front. There are torches coming here. You can see a lot of people in Mohu. The reinforcements are coming. They are ours."
Reinforcements are coming."
"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming." All the guards looked up and saw torches coming from a distance. A large group of shadowy people were rushing here, and they all shouted in high spirits.
Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian also saw the team coming from a distance, looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh...here it comes! Reinforcements are finally here!!"
Zhao Wenhua's eyebrows were filled with joy and he breathed a long sigh of relief. He could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
Hu Zongxian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Great, the reinforcements finally arrived. He made the right decision to wait for reinforcements.
After seeing the reinforcements, hope became a reality, victory was in sight, and the guards radiated greater combat effectiveness.
Because the Japanese pirates had their backs turned, they only noticed the people coming from behind when they heard the Ming army shouting excitedly that reinforcements were coming.
"Baga! Which team made a mistake that allowed the Ming army to come to support the Chinese army so quickly?!"
Nakamura Koji was about to break through Akito's last line of defense. Akito's highest official and the imperial edict were all in his pocket, but when he heard the news that the Ming army had arrived with reinforcements, he couldn't help but cursed angrily.
After scolding, Nakamura Koji pointed at a young Japanese pirate and ordered to him, "Oda-kun, take your team of twenty people over and block the Akito reinforcements. Don't let them get close. If they break through, you will commit suicide by caesarean section."
Bar!"
"Hey! We will kill the reinforcements of the bright people! Send their heads to the Ming dog officer opposite"
Oda Nagaken was so excited that he led the Japanese pirates under his command and rushed towards the torch-bearing team on the opposite side.
"Everyone, follow me and end the battle before Akito's reinforcements arrive!" Nakamura Koji shouted loudly, holding a Japanese sword, and rushed towards Zhao Wenhua's personal guards bravely. He was extremely brave.
When the other Japanese pirates saw that their leader was in the lead, they all rushed forward with blood pumping, each one more fearless than the last.
In an instant, a dozen Ming soldiers were cut down by them, and the number of Ming guards who resisted was less than a hundred.
If the news of reinforcements hadn't stimulated them, they would have collapsed at this moment.
Oda Nagaken and twenty Japanese pirates had only rushed for about twenty meters when they heard a harsh whistle and a chirping sound.
Oda Nagaken stopped hesitantly, and heard the Japanese pirates beside him shouting excitedly, "Look at their clothes, they are our people, not Akito reinforcements."
Then, Oda Nagaken came to the lake and saw black figures under the torches, which were night-walking clothes.
It is indeed one of our own.
"Hahaha, we have worried in vain." Oda Nagaken instantly became overjoyed and laughed.
"Kill the light dog, kill it for me!"
"Kill me!"
The black figure rushing over from the opposite side was blowing a harsh whistle and shouting to kill him.
Listening to a burst of Japanese chatter, Oda Nagaken was even more happy. These are our people, they can't be wrong.
"Kill all the big Ming dogs and charge. Brothers on the opposite side, don't pick us up. Go and support the leader. Don't give Ming dogs a chance to breathe. We will follow! On the way here, we saw a camp. Ming
The army has calmed down the turmoil and is reorganizing its troops. We don't have much time and we can't waste a breath. You hurry up and support the leader, and we will kill him right away."
A figure jumped out of the team in the darkness and ran towards Oda Nagaken from a distance. At the same time, he shouted at Oda Nagaken and the others, informing them of an urgent military situation and urging Oda Nagaken to turn around and besiege the Ming army.
wasting time.
"Hey! What you said makes sense! There are too many bright dogs! We can't delay! Let's kill them first, and you can follow them quickly!
"
Oda Nagaken suddenly became nervous when he heard that the Ming army was reorganizing its troops and was about to come to reinforce the Chinese army. When he heard the suggestion from the Japanese pirates on the opposite side, he took it seriously. He immediately nodded without hesitation and turned around with the twenty Japanese pirates under his command.
He left immediately to support Nakamura Koji.
"Baga, why are you back? You're dead!" Nakamura Koji couldn't help but became furious when he saw Oda Nagaken's return.
"Nakamura-sama, please calm down. The reinforcements on the other side are not Akito's reinforcements, but our reinforcements." Oda Nagaken quickly explained.
"Our reinforcements?"
Nakamura Koji was stunned for a moment, and the next second he heard a harsh whistle and the sound of a group of people dying. He squinted his eyes and saw the black figure under the torch, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"円西, 円西, our reinforcements are coming, the Ming army is dead! Hahahaha..." Nakamura Koji laughed proudly.
"Hahaha, you Mingguos are so happy, it's our reinforcements that are coming." All the Japanese pirates also burst out laughing.
