prosperous age

Chapter 82 Chapter 82
Yes, not only the Jiujiang Guard, but all the guards transferred this time have already 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 go all out, otherwise they would definitely be held accountable afterwards.

Losing the city and losing land was a serious crime in the Ming Dynasty. Before we set off, we knew that Huangyan County had been attacked by Japanese pirates. Taizhou Prefecture asked for help like a dead father. Here, Dinghai County was attacked by Japanese pirates. Now it is even rumored that Japanese pirates intend to attack. Ningbo Mansion.

For some reason, many people suddenly envied the Guanhaiwei people they met before. They escaped from the battlefield alive. Hats off the dead.

Although the living senior officials of the first-level guard command will definitely be affected, the main responsibility can be escaped, and it is the most important crime of the dead.

But now the Jiujiang Guard is different from the other guards. Running away without fighting is a fear of the enemy. If the Japanese pirates were not found before, everyone can still go to Yuyao, but it is definitely not possible now.

It's good that the Ningbo mansion is not lost, if the Ningbo mansion is lost, how many people will be killed at the commanding level of the guard.

"My lord, what is the final regulation of the military account in the afternoon? We are all willing to follow orders and never dare to disobey them."

Wu Zhankui said suddenly at this moment.

"We are all willing to obey orders and never disobey orders."

As Wu Zhankui's words fell, the thousands of households around him and the dozen or so hundreds of households behind him all bowed in unison.

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

"As ordered."

The generals below shouted in unison again.

With the conclusion of the Jiujiang Weijun meeting, the generals of the whole battalion experienced a sleepless night.

On the second day, the whole army broke out again after breakfast. Anqingwei was the front army, followed by Luzhou Wei, Chuzhou Wei, and finally Jiujiang Wei.

For 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 civilian officer who accompanied the team this time was a fifth-rank member of the Nanjing Ministry of War. Ruhu, if he wanted to retreat to Yuyao City, he would naturally not do it.

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

But this found the Japanese pirates. If thousands of people ran to Shaoxing without fighting, Yuanwailang could imagine what would happen when he went back.

Using the coercion of the civil servants, and knowing that the Japanese pirates intend to attack Ningbo Mansion, many commanders and envoys who are intent on avoiding the war barely recognized it, and fought with the Japanese pirates they discovered.

It's best to win, and if you can't win, you will have an excuse to go back.

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

No one wants to be a former army, but the strength of a few guards is so strong, so they can only swarm up, hoping to eliminate the Japanese pirates in front of them through a large number of people.

It has to be said that the commander of Jiujiang Guard was really lucky, and he actually got the best lottery.

After the military discussion was over, the news reached the ears of Qianhu and Baihu, and the previous dissatisfaction disappeared.

Soon, there was only a mess left in the huge military camp that was still crowded with people and horses neighing before. Only a dozen or so tents remained in the center that had not been dismantled. They were the tents of the military member Wailang, and they wanted to stay here.

This avenue leads directly to Yuyao County, which is very important. The military officials stayed here to prevent the Japanese pirates from bypassing the Japanese suppression army and attacking Yuyao County.

Thousands of people dragged their feet and their morale was low, but under the general's whip, they could only move eastward slowly.

At this moment, the generals who have a relationship in the barracks must be riding on horses, and they are all famous generals in the world who don't think about victory before losing.

According to the information obtained before, there are only a few hundred Japanese pirates in this group, and it should be less than a thousand. There are still thousands of people in the four guards, and there is still a chance of winning.

It's just that the plan didn't change quickly. After the army marched for more than ten miles and entered Ningbo Mansion, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

The team of Wu Zhankui's right army Qianhusuo ranked second in the marching sequence of Jiujiang Guards. After marching for more than an hour, there was a sudden chaos ahead. The officer chopped off his head directly by the roadside.

Soon, the detectives from Jiujiangwei came back to deliver the news, and they were already close to the villages and towns that had been looted by Japanese pirates. Before that, the former army encountered a small group of Japanese pirates and caused chaos.

At this time, according to the military order above, the troops should start to deploy and continue to move forward in a battle formation, with the target being that village.

Jiujiangwei was assigned the task of guarding the left wing of the army. Naturally, the Qianhu Office of the former army turned left and speeded up to catch up with the former army.

And Chuzhou Wei, who was further ahead of them, had also turned right, serving 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 of the army was not only slow but also chaotic. A large group of Japanese pirates appeared. If there was a charge against the Ming army at this time, the battle would not have to continue.

Just when the Ming army stopped and began to adjust the battle formation, news of the appearance of a brigade of Ming troops ten miles outside the town also spread to the villages and towns.

"Qiu Ba of Guanhaiwei still dares to call back?"

A dark-skinned, stout man who looked like he had been drenched in the sea all year round touched the top of his bare head, then touched the hair on the back of his head to his neck with his palm, and scratched again.

This man is obviously not bald, he just shaved off the top and front of his head, which is the "Yuedai head" popular among Japanese warriors at this time, so that outsiders mistakenly think they are Japanese when they see them .

But because of his tall stature, he can speak Chinese, so to be honest, he can deceive outsiders.

Anyone who has seen the Japanese people knows that the Japanese people at this time are generally short in stature. There will be strong men from the Japanese country who will come to be Japanese pirates.

"It is said that the flag is not like Guanhaiwei. We have seen the words Guanhaiwei before. The people who came back said it was not."

A Japanese pirate below who also shaved his head like Yuedai said.

"I just said that those guys were all gutted, how dare they come to die? Could it be the people from Linshanwei?"

The pirate leader said suspiciously.

The pirates before this, although they all knew that the morale of the Ming army was low, the discipline was lax, and they didn't train much on weekdays, but under the shadow of the famous tree, they were still afraid of the Ming army that drove out the slaves.

This time the Japanese pirates were also forced into a desperate situation, so they gave it a go and rushed ashore in a gang-like manner to rob.

Since the 26th year of Jiajing, after the Ming Dynasty stepped up its efforts to suppress the Japanese pirates, the life of the Japanese pirates is actually not very easy, and this time they are just trying to survive.
