Chapter 88 88 Victory
The army array marched forward with the beat of the drums, approaching the place where the Japanese pirates were lying, and the shield hands gently separated a gap from left to right, and a spear would stab out from the formation, stabbing fiercely at the fallen Japanese pirates. Whether he was dead or alive, he was shot down fiercely.

Frightened by the momentum of the army formation, they could not find a place to attack in a short time, and the Japanese pirates were quickly forced back by the Ming army.

If it is a battle between well-trained two armies, it should be a shield hitting a shield at this time, and the spearmen behind will assassinate each other between the shields, but what should they do when facing Japanese pirates who have not received battle training? ?
Arrows kept flying out of the Ming army formation, hitting or injuring the Japanese pirates in front of the formation. After retreating a dozen or so steps in a row, I don’t know who took the lead, turned around and started running backwards. Soon, the Japanese pirates in the formation people followed suit.

Most of the Japanese pirates here are old birds who are used to fighting. They knew that if they continued to stay in front of the Ming army, they would have no way to attack them. If they stayed in the front, they could only be shot and killed by the Ming army archers in the formation. They might as well flee back.

Just when some people in the pirate queue started to run back, the pirate leader at the back of the pirate queue spoke up, but instead of yelling and telling the brothers to rush up and kill the gang of Ming army bastards, he asked them to withdraw to the town go.

With the order of the boss, the Japanese pirates who were still hesitating before also turned around and fled as if they had received an amnesty.

The soldiers of the Ming army in the front row saw the Japanese pirates being beaten away, and immediately a few impatient soldiers wanted to rush out of the army formation to pursue them.

But before they squeezed away the robes beside them and rushed up, just the simple movement of wanting to rush out, the back was savagely whipped with the back of a knife, and under the pain, these soldiers also quickly reacted .

During the training, it was repeatedly mentioned that there should be no chaos in the army formation, let alone running around. As long as I rushed out, thinking of the situation when I was training by the river before, I would definitely have to pull out to play the board.

The army formation did not disperse to pursue because of the escape of the Japanese pirates, and still marched in a uniform manner accompanied by the beat of the small drum behind the formation.

The leader of the Japanese pirates looked back after running a long distance, and found that the Ming army did not pursue them, but just chopped off the heads of the Japanese pirates who jumped over the area. On the two wings of the formation, an army formation composed of more than 200 people continued to approach them.

"I'm sorry, where did this guard come from? It's so powerful."

The pirate leader cursed loudly.

"Chief, I think what the boss said is right. There are still elite soldiers in the imperial court, but they are not comparable to our guards along the coast."

"Bah, labor and management know."

The leader of the Japanese pirates scolded, "Back to the village and take away the packed belongings, it will make these Qiu Ba easier."

The leader of the Japanese pirates saw that the Ming army was not chaotic, and now that he had lost half of his manpower, and the opponent hadn't lost a bit, he knew that he couldn't continue fighting like this, so he had to run away first.

Those Japanese pirates before, who cares about their life and death at this time, are not on their side anyway, but a group of people who came to their side temporarily.

Surrounded by so many Ming troops, he would lose his skin if he didn't die.

He turned back and ran a few steps, then turned around unwillingly, and shouted at the Ming army that was still approaching them, "Follow if you have the guts. When you arrive at Dinghai, labor and management will show you what a cannon is."

Through the narration of the soldiers, Wu Dong, Wei Wencai and Wei Guangde knew how their father and the others experienced the first and most dangerous battle in Zhejiang, and they were very happy in their hearts.

At this station, through the mouth of the soldiers, they have already heard that the soldiers they trained can really fight.

Thinking about the tight military formation, it was only after two months of training with whips that they could barely catch the eye.

But it was okay, and the Japanese pirates were scared away.

"Did the Japanese pirates ambush you in the village? And the main force of the Japanese pirates, was it wiped out by the guard brigade?"

Wei Guangde was not as excited as Wu Dong and Wei Wencai when they heard that their soldiers had won the battle. Instead, he was thinking about the Japanese pirates retreating. If they ambushed in the villages and towns, the soldiers from two hundred households would be enough for them to drink a pot. There are more than a hundred people.

Wei Guangde was still very clear about the two hundred households training outside the fort, so he went to see them if he had nothing to do.

They are just military formations looking at bluffing people, so it's really hard to tell the effect.

But there is one thing, the combat power of individual soldiers is really not good, and if they can fight, there are only a dozen or so of them out of more than 200 people, and they haven't lost their food.

"That's not true. The master sent two people to follow him on horseback. After watching them take away more than a dozen carriages, we entered the village and found a lot of good things, hehe."

The soldier seemed to have thought of the fortune he made there, and a smile appeared on his face with a twitch of his mouth.

"Where are the people in the town?"

Wei Guangde asked subconsciously, thinking that the Japanese pirates entered the town to grab things, and now that the Japanese pirates have escaped, as officers and soldiers, how can you still snatch things from the common people?

But what Wei Guangde didn't expect was that after he uttered these words, the smile on the soldier's face disappeared in an instant, and instead he gritted his teeth.

"Dead, it's miserable, it's hard to say."

"Those pirates killed everyone?"

Wei Guangde was startled, and hurriedly asked.

"We haven't seen a living person in town."

Wei Guangde's words made Wei Guangde silent for a moment.

"How dare they slaughter the village? Didn't they say that most of the pirates are Han Chinese?"

Wei Wencai asked loudly.

"They are all dead. After our people entered the town, the master ordered people to bury them all, so that they can rest in peace."

At this moment, the soldier probably remembered those scenes, and said in a depressed mood.

"What about the rest of the group?"

Wu Dong closed his eyes and remained silent for a while before opening his eyes and asking.

"Most of them were wiped out. The remaining Japanese pirates may have seen that the people behind did not come up to join them. It is said that they fought their lives in one direction, and finally broke through the Chuzhou Guard's army formation and rushed out. However, most of them None of them ran away, and all of them had their heads chopped off."

"Then?"

Wu Dong no longer thought about that unlucky town, but cared about the subsequent war.

"After defeating the Japanese pirates, we reunited with the brigade and went to Cixi County. However, when we arrived, the Japanese pirates had already run away. The Japanese pirates in Cixi County were not defeated. After that, we temporarily stationed there until two days later. Come to the military order to recover Dinghai County together with Nanjing Jingying and other guards.

That battle was very easy to fight. The Japanese pirates saw that we had a large number of people, so they didn't fight much. They were busy transporting the looted goods, so we chased them directly to the seaside, and made another small sum along the way. fiscal.

But most of the gold and silver were taken away by the Japanese pirates, and the rest were things like silk and tea leaves, which were not easy to carry with the army, so I was asked to report the news on horseback. "
