Rise From the Humble

Return? !

The Japanese pirates actually retreated? !

Won? !

We actually won? !

The Ming army on the verge of collapse seemed to have won a billion-dollar lottery. It was unbelievable at first, and then ecstatic.

Although it is unbelievable, although it is unbelievable, it is the fact. After a fierce battle, the fierce and ferocious Japanese pirates were beaten away by them and retreated into the courtyard!

Think about it, there are many of us and there are few Japanese pirates. It is normal to use more people to fight against the smaller ones! This is the advantage of strength in numbers!

As a result, the collapsed morale of the Ming army gathered again and soared!

"Take advantage of the victory and pursue the Japanese pirates! Don't let the Japanese pirates close the door! Chase into the courtyard and wipe out the Japanese pirates!" "Kill the Japanese pirates and everyone will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu lost no time in commanding the Ming army to pursue the "escaping" Japanese pirates, and promised a heavy reward!

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!

"Kill!"

"Kill the Japanese pirates and receive the silver reward!"

Stimulated by the command of Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu and the heavy rewards, the Ming army launched an attack on the courtyard!

The Japanese pirates retreated into the courtyard, but the gate had not yet been closed. The Ming army that was at the forefront of pursuit was only a few meters away from the Japanese pirates. With such a short distance, when the last Japanese pirate retreated into the courtyard, the Japanese pirates had no time to close the gate.

Seeing this scene, Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu couldn't help but look excited again in their eyes, and there was a slight smile on their lips. Although the start was not smooth, and the Japanese pirates were more ferocious and cruel than imagined, the ending was still as expected; although the losses were a bit greater and the credit was a little discounted, the credit was still credit.

Sure enough, the last Japanese pirate retreated into the courtyard. The Japanese pirates had no time to close the gate, and the Ming army was less than three meters away from the gate!

Enter the courtyard in one sprint!

Seeing this scene, Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu's eyes became even more excited, and the corners of their mouths became even wider.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several shots of muskets and the sound of bows and arrows piercing the air sounded just as the first Ming army was about to rush into the courtyard occupied by the Japanese pirates.

"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"

After the sound of gunshots and arrows, the Ming army rushing at the front immediately let out screams and fell to the ground dead after being hit by bullets and arrows!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The gunfire continues, the arrows continue!

The gun is flawless! The arrows are all in vain! Every bullet and arrow fired by the Japanese pirates accurately hit a Ming soldier.

The dozens of Ming soldiers at the front seemed to have been cut grass. They fell to the ground one by one with bang bang bang. In an instant, dozens of corpses of Ming soldiers lay down at the entrance of the courtyard occupied by the Japanese pirates! There was a river of blood in front of the door!

With the dozens of vivid examples in front of them, the Ming army behind them suddenly moved in unison, stopped, turned around, and ran back faster than when they came. At this moment, they wished their parents would give them one more child. One foot, so that I can run faster!

The smiles on the faces of Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu have long since withered! The excitement in his eyes has already turned into shock!

The Japanese pirates are so cruel! Not only did the Ming army come back, there were also some Ming soldiers who wanted to continue running and leave the battlefield to become deserters!

"Xu Qianhu! Hurry! Kill the deserters!! To prevent the situation from getting out of control!" Magistrate Liu shouted hurriedly.

At the reminder of Magistrate Liu, Xu Qianhu immediately reacted. He urged his horse, caught up with the nearest deserter with a spear, pierced his body with a shot, then bent his bow and shot at the fastest deserter with an arrow. He shot, uh, missed. Xu Qianhu's face turned red, he pulled out another feather arrow and shot out. Fortunately, the deserter was not far away, so he hit the target this time! The deserter was shot to the ground by an arrow!

"Stop all of you! Whoever dares to escape, this will be your fate!"

Xu Qianhu held the horse's reins, lying on the ground, raising his bloody spear, and yelled at the Ming army who was running back with a snoring voice!

There are two unlucky guys as examples. The fleeing Ming army finally stopped under the threat of Xu Qianhu.

"There are only more than a hundred Japanese pirates, and we have more than a thousand! The Japanese pirates come from afar and have no food supplies, but we can get men, horses, food and grass supplies at any time. We can't kill them in the field, but we can also trap them to death in a siege!" Magistrate Liu said loudly, "Why run, just hold on, the final victory will definitely belong to us!"

"Hold still, archers come forward, shield men cover, surround the courtyard!" Xu Qianhu also ordered.

No need to fight in the wild! It's just a siege of the courtyard, that's fine! When the Ming army heard that they didn't need to fight in the field and just surrounded the courtyard, they breathed a sigh of relief and surrounded the courtyard layer by layer under the command of Liu Zhifu and Xu Qianhu.

Then, after a discussion between Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu, they each sent ten men and ordered them to go back and call for reinforcements. At the same time, they ordered the reinforcements to bring more bows and arrows.

"Oh, by the way, Xu Qianhu, don't you have two artillery pieces in your guard post? Let people pull them over and bombard the Japanese pirates!"

Magistrate Liu thought of the artillery in the guardhouse and quickly said to Xu Qianhu.

If the artillery is brought over and aimed at the courtyard occupied by the Japanese pirates, with a few shots, it will definitely kill many Japanese pirates and greatly reduce the morale of the Japanese pirates. It can also greatly increase the morale of our army. After the bombardment, the remaining Japanese pirates will not be able to do anything. Considered.

"Ahem, Magistrate Liu, the artillery is heavy, the journey is long, and it has to pass through several rivers. It is difficult to transport. I'm afraid it will be late at night before the artillery is transported here." Xu Qianhu coughed.

"It's okay late at night! It's already evening when the reinforcements arrive. I originally planned to attack the Japanese pirates with rockets late at night! When your artillery arrives, fire two cannons first, and then fire the rockets. It will definitely make a difference!"

Magistrate Liu stroked his beard and said.

"Ahem, Magistrate Liu, to be honest, the two artillery pieces in our guard station are decades old antiques. They have long been in disrepair and are no longer useful." Xu Qianhu coughed and his face turned red. Frankly.

In fact, Xu Qianhu has not told the truth. The two artillery pieces in their guard post are not in disrepair. On the contrary, they have actually maintained them well. However, these two artillery pieces are no longer in their guard post and have been used by Xu Qianhu for a long time. It was sold privately at a high price, but was reported as being in disrepair and abandoned.

As for who to sell to, to be honest, Xu Qianhu didn't know, and he didn't care. He just paid attention to the price and getting the money. As long as the money is available, it doesn't matter who the buyer is.

"Uh, okay, then let's wait for the reinforcements to arrive and attack the Japanese pirates in the courtyard with rockets late at night." Magistrate Liu said with some regret.

"Prefect Liu's good idea! The Japanese pirates occupied the wooden building. When it was late at night, the Japanese pirates relaxed their vigilance and shot them with rockets. If they could not kill them, they could burn them to death!" Xu Qianhu nodded and praised Prefect Liu.

"Japanese pirates are just brave men! It's not advisable to defeat them with force, only with intelligence." Magistrate Liu smiled slightly.

Therefore, Magistrate Liu and Xu Qianhu confidently waited for the arrival of reinforcements and the arrival of night!
