The Prosperous Era of Longwan

Yes, not only the Jiujiang Guard, but all the guards transferred this time have been put on fire.

After the commander of the guards revealed the news that the Japanese pirates might have attacked Ningbo Fucheng, all the generals knew that they had to fight hard, otherwise they would definitely be held accountable afterwards.

Losing city and territory was a serious crime in the Ming Dynasty. Before setting off, they knew that Huangyan County had been conquered by Japanese pirates. Taizhou Prefecture asked for help as if it were their own dead father. Here, Dinghai County was conquered by Japanese pirates again, and now there are rumors that Japanese pirates intend to attack. Ningbo Mansion.

For some reason, many people suddenly envied the Guanhaiwei people they met before. They were able to escape from the battlefield alive. Although they definitely couldn't lose the hat of being unfavorable in the battle, at least their lives were saved. Even if the court pursues them in the future, they will just go there. Put a hat on the dead.

Although the living high-ranking officers of the guard command will definitely be affected, the main responsibility can be escaped, and the dead people bear the main blame.

But now Jiujiang Guard is different from several other guard posts. Running away without fighting is a sign of fear of the enemy. If the Japanese pirates had not been discovered before, everyone could still run to Yuyao, but it is absolutely not possible now.

It's a good thing that the Ningbo Mansion was not lost. If the Ningbo Mansion was lost, I don't know how many people at the command level of the Guards would be killed.

"Sir, what is the final regulation at the military tent this afternoon? We are all willing to follow orders, and we will never dare to disobey them."

Wu Zhankui suddenly said at this moment.

"We are all willing to act as ordered and will never disobey orders."

As Wu Zhankui finished speaking, several thousand households around him and a dozen or so hundreds of households behind him all bowed in unison.

"Tomorrow, the Anqing Guard and the Luzhou Guard will be the front army, the Chuzhou Guard will be the right army, and I, the Jiujiang Guard, will be the left army. They will go out to fight against the Japanese pirates. After destroying the current Japanese pirates, the army will enter Ningbo Prefecture and rescue Cixi County."

"As commanded."

The general below shouted in unison again.

With the end of the Jiujiang Guards Meeting, all the generals in the battalion experienced a sleepless night.

On the second day, after breakfast, the whole army broke out of camp again. Anqing Guard was the front army, followed by Luzhou Guard, Chuzhou Guard, and finally Jiujiang Guard.

With such an arrangement, it is not surprising that most of the generals in the battalion knew how the order of the queue came about.

It’s funny to say that the civil servant who accompanied the team on this expedition was a fifth-rank member of the Nanjing Military Department. He had turned a blind eye before and arrived in Shaoxing, where he encountered Japanese pirates. However, these guard commanders were all afraid of the enemy. If Ruhu wants to retreat to Yuyao City, he will naturally not do it.

It is naturally dangerous to go directly to Taizhou, so I came to Shaoxing.

But the Japanese pirates were discovered. If thousands of troops ran to Shaoxing without fighting, Yuanwailang could imagine what would happen after returning.

They used the pressure of civil servants and learned that the Japanese pirates intended to attack Ningbo Prefecture. They reluctantly made many commanders who were determined to avoid fighting pinch their noses and admit it, and have a fight with the discovered Japanese pirates.

It's best if you win. If you don't win, you have an excuse to retreat.

As for the queue, it was the result of lots drawn by four commanders.

No one wanted to be a front-line army, but the combat power of several guard posts was so strong, so they could only swarm forward, hoping to eliminate the Japanese pirates in front of them through the power of numbers.

It cannot but be said that the commander of Jiujiang Wei was really lucky, and he actually got the best lottery.

After the military meeting ended, the news reached the ears of thousands and hundreds of households, and the previous dissatisfaction disappeared.

Soon, the military camp, which had been bustling with joy and neighing, was reduced to a mess. Only a dozen or so tents in the center were not demolished. Those were the tents of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, and they were to stay here.

This avenue leads directly to Yuyao County, which is very important. The Ministry of War stayed here to prevent Japanese pirates from bypassing the Japanese-suppressing army and making a sneak attack on Yuyao County.

Thousands of men and horses were dragging their feet and their morale was low. However, under the whip of the general, they could only advance eastward slowly.

At this moment, the generals with some connections in the military camp must be riding on horses. They are all famous generals in the world who do not worry about victory before defeat.

According to previous information, this group of Japanese pirates only has a few hundred people, probably less than a thousand. If thousands of people from the four guard stations swarm them, there is still a chance of winning.

However, the plan did not change quickly. After the army marched more than ten miles and entered Ningbo Mansion, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The Qianhu Post of Wu Zhankui's right army was second in the Jiujiang Guard marching sequence. After marching for more than an hour, there was sudden chaos in front of them. The soldiers of the guard post abandoned their helmets and armor and tried to run back. As a result, they were killed by their subordinate generals. The officer beheaded him directly on the roadside.

Soon, the detective horse from Jiujiang Guard came back to deliver the news. They were approaching the villages and towns that had been plundered by Japanese pirates. Previously, the former army encountered chaos caused by a small group of Japanese pirates.

At this time, in accordance with the military orders above, the troops will begin to deploy and continue to move forward in combat formation, with the target being that village.

The Jiujiang Guards were assigned the task of guarding the left wing of the army. Naturally, the Qianhu Post of the former army began to turn left and speed up to catch up with the former army.

The Chuzhou Guards further ahead of them had also turned right, acting as the right wing of the army.

However, the shortcomings of several guards who did not practice drills on weekdays were also exposed at this time. The formation change of the army was not only slow but also chaotic. Fortunately, the Japanese pirates did not seem to expect that the Ming army would come, so they did not attack at the beginning. A large group of Japanese pirates appeared. If they attacked the Ming army at this time, there would be no need to continue the battle.

Just when the Ming army stopped and began to adjust their battle formations, news that a large Ming army appeared ten miles outside the town also spread to the villages and towns.

"Qiu Ba from Guanhaiwei still dares to fight back?"

A man with dark skin and a strong build, who looked like he had been exposed to the rain at sea all year round, touched the top of his bare head, then ran his palms along the hair on the back of his head to his neck, and scratched again.

This man is obviously not bald. He just shaved off the hair on the top and front of his head, which is the "Tsukiyo head" popular among Japanese warriors at this time. This made outsiders mistakenly think that they were Japanese at the first sight. .

But because he is tall and speaks Chinese, he can only deceive outsiders to tell the truth.

Everyone who has seen Japanese people knows that Japanese people at this time were generally short in stature. There would be strong Japanese warriors who would come to be Japanese pirates. They would stay in Japan and work under any famous family, and they might become one of the fierce generals of the Warring States Period.

"The flag doesn't look like Guanhaiwei's. We've all seen the words Guanhaiwei, but the people who came back said it doesn't."

A Japanese pirate below who also had his head shaved into Tsukiyo said.

"I just said that those guys are so scared, how dare they come to die? Could it be that the Linshan Guards are here?"

The Japanese pirate leader said suspiciously.

Although the pirates before this all knew that the morale of the Ming army was low, discipline was lax, and they did not train much on weekdays, they were still afraid of the Ming Empire army that expelled the Tatar slaves.

This time, the Japanese pirates were forced into a desperate situation, so they gave it a try and rushed ashore to commit a robbery in a group manner.

Since the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing reign, the Ming Dynasty has intensified its efforts to suppress Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates' life was actually not very easy. This time they were just trying to survive.
