Rise From the Humble

"Dadao, take your battalion to the front to guard. This time, bring all the squatting tiger cannons to prevent the Japanese pirates from returning."

"The rest of the people, step forward and clean up the battlefield. If the Japanese pirates are not dead, kill them all and behead them. We don't need prisoners! I repeat, if the Japanese pirates are alive, kill them all and behead them. We don't need prisoners!" "

"The Japanese pirates didn't know when they would return. It was too late to dig holes to bury their corpses. So I cut down trees and set up five fire racks, piled the Japanese corpses on top of them, and burned them with a fire to avoid the spread of plague."

After the Japanese pirates retreated, Zhu Pingan ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, especially emphasizing that no prisoners should be taken and no survivors should be left alive.

The Japanese pirates were full of crimes and deserved to die.

Even if you want to recapture the Japanese pirate, you must first use thunder to break his spine and kill him until he is terrified.

In Zhu Pingan's view, it is not yet the time to recover the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates will not surrender. Now is the time to ruthlessly exterminate the Japanese pirates. We must severely attack the Japanese pirates on the battlefield and fight several beautiful and cruel annihilation battles.

Only later did we consider using both suppression and appeasement.

While cleaning the battlefield, many Zhejiang soldiers made retching sounds. The scene was too tragic.

The Japanese pirates at the center of thirty wine jars with gunpowder were all blown to pieces, their limbs and legs were broken, and their flesh and blood were mutilated.

Fortunately, we are your soldiers, not your enemies, this is what all the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army thought.

While the Zhejiang army officers were cleaning the battlefield, Zhu Pingan first visited the wounded soldiers.

In this battle, because the Japanese pirates were never able to break through the battlefield, no one from the Zhejiang army was killed, but they also injured more than 60 people.

More than 30 people were injured by Japanese pirates, and their injuries were not serious; 16 people were injured by gunfire blasts, five of which were slightly more seriously injured, but none of them were life-threatening; and five others were injured. He was injured by the lead pellets and iron pellets that shot out when the gunpowder exploded in the wine jar. Fortunately, the Zhejiang army was far away and the cotton armor covered a large area, so the injuries were not serious.

"Lead pellets and iron pellets are soaked in venom. Be patient. Disinfect them with high-strength liquor first, then apply the antidote externally and internally."

When Zhu Pingan visited the wounded soldiers, he repeatedly warned him.

In order to pursue maximum lethality against Japanese pirates, the iron pellets and lead pellets in the wine jar gunpowder were soaked in poison.

As long as the Japanese pirates were hit by the bullets, without an antidote, they would just wait to be poisoned and die. Just now, as long as the Japanese pirates who ran back from the front were injured, they would count as one. Even though they were jumping around now, the King of Hell had already scheduled their KPI.

Of course, in order to prevent accidental injury to his own people, Zhu Ping'an had already prepared the antidote. As long as the antidote was applied externally or internally, the injury would not be a problem.

When visiting the wounded soldiers, Zhu Pingan personally applied secret wound medicine to several wounded soldiers, bandaged their wounds, and expressed cordial condolences to them. He told the gangtou barracks to cook some chicken soup every day to supplement the nutrition of the wounded soldiers so that they could recover as soon as possible.

The wounded soldiers were deeply moved.

After visiting the wounded soldiers, Zhu Pingan went to the battlefield without stopping to see how the battlefield was being cleaned.

"Sir, the Japanese pirates who were still alive on the battlefield, as well as hundreds of others, were all executed according to your order. Many of them tried to resist, but our people were working in pairs to finish the damage, and we didn't give them any chance. Take advantage of the opportunity.”

Liu Muhui reports.

"Well, very good." Zhu Pingan nodded and asked, "How many Japanese pirate heads have been captured?"

"Back to the young master, we have captured a total of 5,475 Japanese pirate heads this time. The power of the gunpowder in the wine jar was too great. The nearby Japanese pirates were blown to pieces. There is no way to find their heads, otherwise we would still have lost their heads." It can add hundreds of heads."

Liu Mu reported with excitement that this was a great victory, an unprecedented victory.

Since the Japanese pirates broke out in this dynasty, I have never heard of that battle, in which more than 6,000 Japanese pirate heads were captured in one battle.

This is the first time.

It is unbelievable that the Zhejiang army only had 2,000 men, but it captured the heads of more than 5,000 Japanese pirates. This was a great victory with less than many.

"Unfortunately, in addition to the seven or eight hundred Japanese pirates who finally escaped from the battle, there were hundreds of Japanese pirates who pretended to be dead on the battlefield. When the Japanese pirate army retreated, they also got up and ran. In addition, there were some injured Japanese pirates, too. They struggled and ran a lot, but if we had caught up, they wouldn't have been able to escape."

Liu Mu finally said with regret.

The Japanese pirates attacked the formation in two rounds. In the first round, they dispatched more than 2,000 Japanese pirates. In the second round, they dispatched 4,000 Japanese pirates. Later, more than 4,000 Japanese pirates were added as reinforcements. There were also spontaneous reinforcements from many lethal Japanese pirates.

After a series of big explosions, almost all the Japanese pirates on the battlefield were wiped out.

In the end, seven to eight hundred Japanese pirates escaped before the battle, and hundreds more pretended to be dead on the battlefield. When the Japanese pirate army retreated, they also got up and ran away. In addition, there were injured Japanese pirates on the battlefield. Their legs were injured in the big explosion. Ah's body was hit by bullets and he fell to the ground screaming, but he was not dead. When the Japanese pirates retreated, he struggled and ran a lot.

At that time, Liu Mu proposed to catch up with the Japanese pirates who were running behind.

However, Zhu Pingan did not agree.

Don’t chase the poor bandits!

Although the Japanese pirates suffered considerable losses, the main force is still there, and there are still 20,000 to 30,000 Japanese pirates. Once the Japanese pirates turn around, it will be dangerous. In the wild, without the protection of low walls and positions, the Zhejiang army was really no match for the Japanese pirates.

Even with the protection of the low wall and the position, if it were not for the miraculous work of the thirty wine jars and gunpowder, the Japanese pirates would have rushed into the position. Of course, it was also because Zhu Pingan suppressed and did not use the Crouching Tiger Cannon to induce the Japanese pirates to go crazy. , but even if he used the squatting tiger cannon, Zhu Pingan knew that it would not be easy to defeat the Japanese pirates.

One is because the number of Crouching Tiger Cannons is small, the other is because the Crouching Tiger Cannons are slower to load than the muskets, and the third is because of their limited mass. If the Crouching Tiger Cannon fires several shots in a row, the barrel must be cooled, otherwise the barrel will explode.

If it weren't for the meritorious service of the wine jar and gunpowder, the Zhejiang army would have to pay a heavy price to repel the Japanese pirates' offensive this time.

"Haha, don't be too greedy. Being able to capture the heads of more than 5,000 Japanese pirates in one battle this time is also a lot of luck."

Zhu Pingan patted Liu Mu on the shoulder and smiled slightly.

"Hehe, that's right." Liu Mu couldn't help but smile. This time there was indeed a lot of luck.

If the Japanese pirates had not underestimated the enemy and been more cautious when attacking the formation, the gunpowder buried in the wine jar was not so hidden. The dust on it was still different from the surrounding ground. There was also a buried gunpowder fuse. If you look carefully, It's relatively easy to spot clues, it's such a long journey.

Especially when lighting the gunpowder fuse, Liu Mu's nervous palms became sweaty. The gunpowder fuse ignited and burned forward rapidly, which was quite conspicuous. Liu Mu was afraid that the Japanese pirates would find out, so he cut off the gunpowder fuse before the explosion.

Fortunately, the Japanese pirates underestimated the enemy and made great achievements in building the gunpowder and wine altar.
