Chapter 1747: Qi Jiguang Suppresses the Japanese (Part 1)
Zhangwu County City Trough.
A large number of Japanese pirate prisoners were detained by the Qin army. Along the way, people kept attacking the Japanese pirates with rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and stones.
These Japanese pirate prisoners seemed to have guessed their own future. After all, they committed a heinous crime in Zhangwu, and now that the captured Han people would never let them go.
Therefore, each of them looked sad, frightened, and desperate, and no longer had the arrogance and ferocity they had before.
Su Dingfang looked at the hundreds of prisoners of war on the execution platform and listened to the angry shouts of the people around him. His eyes were full of coldness and he said indifferently: "The time has come for execution."
"kill……"
"kill……"
The shouts of killing continued to sound, the swordsmen raised and lowered their swords, and the heads of Japanese pirates fell to the ground. The entire market instantly became a river of blood.
The great revenge was avenged, and there were cheers of "well done" among the people, but more of them were sobbing sadly. After all, even if revenge was avenged, the dead relatives would never come back.
Su Dingfang watched this scene in silence and sighed: "Immediately write a military report on the situation in Zhangwu and submit it to the lord. Also apply to the lord to exempt Zhangwu County from taxes for half a year."
"promise."
"Report...report to the general that the whereabouts of the escaped Japanese pirate leader have been discovered."
Hearing this, Su Dingfang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he shouted: "Immediately fire up five thousand fine cavalry, we are going to kill all these Japanese pirates."
"promise."
Soon after Su Dingfang's military order was issued, five thousand elite cavalry were assembled outside the city, and then headed east under the leadership of Su Dingfang.
After Mao Liyuan was lucky enough to escape, he led dozens of his men and ran towards the seaside, fearing that they would be overtaken by the Qin army's cavalry.
"You guys, go to Yangzhuang, Lizhuang, and Wuzhuang respectively to convey my military order and tell everyone to withdraw to the coast. We are leaving Jizhou." Mao Liyuan ordered with a gloomy look.
He just ran out of Zhangwu County and witnessed the siege of the Qin army's cavalry. Even without looking at what happened next, he knew what happened. His three thousand Japanese soldiers must have been wiped out.
At this moment, Mao Liyuan only had one thought in his mind, and that was bad luck.
Maori Yuanji's heart was bleeding. He hadn't even finished plundering a whole county, but he hit the Qin army's guns and lost three thousand elites. It was a huge loss.
"Lord, if we leave Jizhou, where can we go?"
After hearing what his subordinates said, Mao Liyuan thought for a while and sighed: "Go to Qingbei and find Shangshang Kanxin. I hope that for the sake of the alliance, he can give up an area for the family to plunder and recover.
Be energetic."
In fact, when he learned that the Qin army had a hundred thousand troops in Bohai County, Mao Liyuan had plans to leave Jizhou.
Jizhou's prefectures and counties by the sea only have one county in the Bohai Sea, and even if the 100,000 Qin army were divided among the counties, they could still defend the entire Bohai Sea.
Maoli Yuan had no chance at all in Jizhou. If he had to stay, his army would be annihilated sooner or later, so he could only leave Jizhou and go to other areas to plunder.
When Su Dingfang led the cavalry and chased them to the coast, Maori Yuanjiu's four thousand Japanese soldiers had all boarded the ship, but they had not set sail yet.
Seeing the Qin army's cavalry chasing after them, Mao Liyuan quickly shouted: "Sail the boat, sail the boat quickly."
Su Dingfang was a step too late after all. Although he intercepted several ships and killed 300 Japanese pirates, the remaining Japanese pirates had already sailed out to sea.
"Damn it."
Looking at the Japanese pirates not far away on the sea, Su Dingfang's eyes were full of unwillingness.
"General, these Japanese pirates seem to be heading towards Qingbei." Su Xian said.
"Qingbei?"
Su Dingfang was immediately excited. After all, Qingbei has three states and counties near the sea. The coastal defense line is much longer than that of Jizhou. In addition, Zhou Yu's troops are not sufficient. Most of them are reorganized from prisoners of war.
The force is not strong, and it is obviously more difficult to resist the Japanese pirates.
"These Japanese pirates are really cunning. They knew that our army had abundant troops in the Bohai Sea, so they went to attack Qingbei, which had insufficient troops."
Su Dingfang's eyes flashed with anxiety, and he said in a deep voice: "Immediately Fei Ge sent a letter to Zhou Yu, reminding him that the Japanese pirates in the Bohai Sea have gone to Qingzhou."
"promise."
——————————
Qingbei.
After inquiring about Qingbei's information, Shangshang and his confidence were greatly shaken. He never expected that so many great things would happen in Qingbei in such a short period of time.
Li Jing, who was clearly at a disadvantage, powerfully defeated the Northern Han coalition forces, and Zhou Yu finally unified the Qingbei counties.
After learning this, Shangshan Jianxin had a vague idea of retreating, but he was unwilling to retreat just like that, and felt extremely entangled in his heart.
The strength of the Qin army is too strong, and Qin King Qin Hao is a master who only takes advantage but cannot suffer losses. Once he robs Qin Hao, he will offend Qin Hao, and there is no guarantee that he will not retaliate against him in the future.
But even if King Qin Hao of Qin wants revenge, can he still send troops to attack Japan before he unifies the Central Plains? And it will be decades after he unifies the Central Plains, and the hatred at this time will probably be gone.
It's almost done.
But what if he is the King of Qin and holds a grudge...
Just when Kamishiro Kanenobu was swaying from side to side and still unable to make up his mind, news came from his subordinates that Mouri Gen had come to seek refuge with nearly four thousand Japanese soldiers.
Originally, Shangshang Jianxin was hesitant, not only because he was afraid of the Qin army's strength, but also because of his own lack of strength.
Even though Zhou Yu did not have sufficient troops, he still had an army of 65,000 in Qingbei. Even if most of them were prisoners and lacked combat strength, the threat to Shangshan Jianxin was still not small.
Shangshang Kanxin only had 7,000 troops in hand, and he was plundering Qingbei, which was guarded by more than 60,000 troops. If he accidentally started a war, he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
But with the support of the Maori family's 4,000 troops, the number of troops Shangshan Jianxin can mobilize has reached 11,000, and he is sure to have a fight with Zhou Yu.
Mao Liyuan was originally worried that Shang Shang Kanexin would be able to live alone, so he was unwilling to allocate an area to him. Little did he know that Qingbei was also a tough nut, and Shang Shang Kanexin's family simply couldn't handle it. If the two families joined forces, both sides would benefit.
Motonari Motonari took the initiative to surrender, which made Kananobu overjoyed. However, before the two armies turned around, he received the news that Motonari Motonari was assassinated.
"My lord has received important news. Three onmyojis infiltrated last night, assassinated Motonari-sama Mouri and then left."
"What? Moli Yuan is dead?"
Kamishiro Kanenobu looked shocked. He was just about to take advantage of the opponent, but he didn't expect Mourimoto to die from the assassination.
"That's not the case. Mouri Yuan is also in the lineage of Onmyoji. How can he die in an assassination so easily? The one who was assassinated last night was just Maori-sama's stand-in."
"call……"
Shangshan Jianxin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, it's good that you're not dead."
If Maori Yuan dies, the four thousand elites of the Maori Department will definitely be in chaos, and Shangshan Jianxin will not be able to use them to deal with Zhou Yu.
