It was a hearty pursuit. The Zhejiang army chased for thirty miles in one breath and defeated the Japanese pirates.
The Zhejiang army chased a large river all the way, and Zhu Ping'an ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and set up camp on the high slopes of the river.
This pursuit has a brilliant record.
The pursuit was thirty miles, beheaded 1,382 Japanese pirates, captured 2,157 Japanese pirates, obtained 130 horses, collected all the food, grass and supplies of the Japanese pirates. Even the big banners of Mao Haifeng and Otomo Shinchuan were seized.
"Young Master, if you pursue the 20 or 30 miles further, you will definitely gain more. Maybe you can capture Mao Haifeng and Otomo Satokawa alive."
Liu Dadao said with a pity.
"Don't chase the enemy. Mao Haifeng and Otomo Satochuan have already gathered many defeated Japanese troops and have a certain counterattack. Moreover, they are not famous Japanese chiefs. Capturing them alive will be useless."
Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly and said slowly.
Through "Highlighting the Family", once Zhu Ping'an discovered that Mao Haifeng and Otomo Shinkawa had gathered about 4,000 Japanese pirates, and the defeated soldiers they gathered lurked not far ahead.
Of course, Mao Haifeng and Otomo Satokawa, who had been defeated once, are not worth worrying about, but greater danger is close to you. Perhaps it is that the Japanese pirates led by Wang Zhi himself are less than forty miles away from here.
Chasing forward will be dangerous.
"It's just a pity." Liu Dadao said with a pity.
"Haha, don't feel a pity. Today's record is already brilliant." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, and then continued to say, "In addition, our gunpowder consumes a lot. Today's battle consumed more than 40%. There are also firearms, tiger squat cannons fired continuously, and the cannon barrels are burning red. They must cool down. The same is true for the fire. If you fire again, you will risk a blow-off."
In fact, when pursuing, the Zhejiang Army's firearms had already exploded. Two muskets were exploded, and the Zhejiang Army used them was slightly injured.
Although the tiger squat cannon did not explode, one of the cannon barrels had deformed. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise it would have exploded if it fired another shot.
There is also a cannon that was cooled down with cold water, and the barrel cracks occurred and it was directly scrapped.
There is no way, the quality of firearms in this era cannot be compared with modern times, no, even modern times cannot be compared.
This is the limitation of the times. Both firearm design and iron and steelmaking have great shortcomings.
All of these have to be improved slowly.
"I ordered the pot to make rice, let my brothers drink some hot drinks, take turns to rest, take turns to clean the battlefield, and continue to search for Japanese pirates in the rear."
Zhu Ping'an ordered.
The Zhejiang Army was chasing him quickly, and there must be many broken Japanese fish behind him. Because they were hiding tightly or fleeing in a remote manner, they would definitely be quite surprised if they turned around and searched carefully.
"Affect the order." Liu Dadao and others took the order and left.
Zhu Ping'an led his personal soldiers to patrol the camp and visit the injured Zhejiang soldiers. He also helped several wounded soldiers with bandages and served a bowl of fish soup for each wounded soldier, which fully gained a wave of morale.
In this battle between the Zhejiang Army, a total of thirteen Zhejiang soldiers were unfortunately killed, and more than 80 soldiers were injured.
Fortunately, only ten of these more than 80 injured soldiers were seriously injured, while the rest were slightly injured. After ten days and half a month of recuperation, they were lively heroes again.
Zhu Ping'an focused on visiting these ten seriously injured people, condolences one by one, so that they could rest assured.
Zhu Ping'an asked the military doctor and learned that the ten seriously injured people needed to recuperate on the spot. Zhu Ping'an ordered a nearby village to be conquered, personally told the village chief, gave the village chief 100 taels of silver and a truck of food, and placed the seriously injured people in the village to recuperate, and arranged a military doctor to take care of them.
In order to ensure their safety, Zhu Ping'an also left a soldier as their guard. When their injuries stabilized, they would be transferred to Shaoxing.
Seeing Zhu Ping'an settled the seriously injured, not only did the minor injured in the camp respect the consecrated, but all the soldiers respected them twice.
The people who are injured now are others, but we may be injured if we are not sure about it. After all, there is no eyebrow on the battlefield, and no one can guarantee that we will always be blessed by the gods and will never be injured.
Adults love nurses and soldiers, and they always keep the seriously injured. Everyone feels relieved if they are placed safely.
Don't be afraid of injury.
There is no need to worry about any worries. Anyway, we will rescue and settle us.
For a time, the Zhejiang Army camp, which was already a big victory and had a high morale, became even more morale.
Zhu Ping'an's prestige in the Zhejiang Army was at its peak. Not only the old soldiers, but also the new soldiers were also eager to submit to each other and were willing to die for Zhu Ping'an.
Compared with the high morale of the Zhejiang Army camp, the Japanese pirates in the woods not far from the other side of the river were dead and corrupt.
"Damn it! Why didn't Zhu Ping'an chase after him? The four thousand soldiers who had finally gathered together wanted to take advantage of their pride and give them a fatal blow, but he didn't expect that Zhu Ping'an was so cautious and stopped chasing after thirty miles!"
In the woods, Mao Haifeng saw that the Zhejiang army had set up camp on the other side of the river and stopped chasing them. He couldn't help but hammer the big tree with great force.
He finally gathered up 4,000 defeated troops and set up an ambush, preparing to give a fatal blow to the Zhejiang Army, who was proud of his victory.
However, unexpectedly, the Zhejiang Army stopped pursuing, which made his arrangement fail.
I wanted to give myself a fatal blow, and after a big defeat, I won a small victory and saved myself a little respect, but I didn't expect that Zhu Ping'an was so cautious that he didn't even leave this opportunity for him! Mao Haifeng was so angry that he sipped his old blood in his throat.
"This thief Zhu Ping'an is indeed extraordinary. This time I really opened my eyes. It turns out that firearms can be used like this."
Otomo Sadaki sat aside, looking at the flying flags of the Zhejiang Army camp across the river, feeling a lot of emotion.
Today, when I first saw the Zhejiang Army's narrow and long line-arrangement of guns, Otomo Satokawa also mocked Zhu Ping'an for not knowing martial arts, and the military formations were not as good as beginners.
However, I never expected that it was his slap in the face, which was so slap in the face.
The gun balls that were like heavy rain, the dense firepower, and the terrifying lethality of the warriors under his command had not had time to use their killing skills, and they didn't even touch the legs of the Zhejiang Army. They fell down one by one like cutting wheat.
There are also the cannons that the two Zhejiang Army can lift, just like the wrath of the gods, which is so terrifying.
The combination of muskets and cannons makes the Zhejiang Army's combat power terrifying.
Unless the opportunity to use the Zhejiang military weapons is not given the opportunity to perform, it will be close to the Zhejiang army, otherwise Otomo Sadaki will not think of how to defeat the Zhejiang army.
"Why are the Zhejiang Army's firearms loading so quickly?" Mao Haifeng looked at Otomo Satokawa, looking puzzled.
"I am really ashamed, I don't know." Otomo Sadaicawa was also confused and shook his head in shame. "After this battle, I dare not claim to be good at using firearms. I have never seen anyone using firearms like Zhejiang Army."
