Chapter 523: Fear
At the same time, Lin Haoran looked nervous.
Although I learned from Ah Man that the Japanese were chasing after him, and the number of people was estimated accurately, when he really faced these Japanese invaders, he inevitably retreated.
Before, he didn't think there was anything great about the Japanese Kou, there were nearly 100 people on his side, and soon Leizhou Wei would gallop again. It was only when he saw the Wako appear in front of him that he realized that he was impulsive, and even did an extremely stupid thing.
This killing certainly brought him a sense of satisfaction and won the hearts and minds of the people, but it was a desirable result. What if they were defeated by these bandits?
You must know that he now has a huge fortune, and he is the most promising young official in the Ming Dynasty, and he has a very good life waiting for him, so he can't take such a risk.
As soon as he thought of this, he really wanted to be like the kind of scumbag general on TV, who immediately turned his horse around and fled with a few cronies, and let these hundreds of men go down to fight the Japanese Kou, even if it was to help him delay some time.
It's just that the experience of his past life told him that he couldn't do that. Even if it is wrong to bring someone over, then he must not be confused by fear, so that he will be wrong again and again.
At this point, there was no way back for him. Now once he chooses to escape, it will become a stain on his career, and even directly affect his career.
What's more, the current situation is that their side has an advantage, after all, he has hundreds of people here, and some of them are Lei Zhouwei.
"The generals will listen to the order and deploy the defense in place!"
Lin Haoran was not a cowardly person, and finally overcame the fear in his heart, grabbed the reins and gave an order.
Although he had a huge advantage in numbers, he did not blindly choose to exterminate these twenty or so Japanese robbers. He was not sure of victory, and even hoped that the other party would see that there were many people on their side, so he would retreat from the difficulty.
Now it is not his pursuit to annihilate these widows, his pursuit is only to save face, and he cannot pay for his life here.
"Lord Fuzun, why should we stop, we should go directly and kill these widows!" There is no shortage of bloody men here, and they immediately raised objections.
"Do you understand what a military order is? If you dare to talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will kill you first! The General Banner Duan Continent immediately stood up and reprimanded angrily, which can be regarded as relieving Lin Haoran.
This is actually very clever, it is obviously a passive defensive position, and there are probably more than one or two people who question it, but the use of "military orders" can suppress the voices of dissent, and at the same time it does not damage the morale of one's own side.
After all, there is a part of the Leizhou Guards here, and they are deployed in an orderly manner, so that the people with swords stand in the front, the spears are in the center, and the archers are behind, forming a defensive military formation.
Unexpectedly, Yamada Ichiro's side did not stop, but chose to continue to come here. Obviously, in terms of fighting spirit, the Japanese side is stronger.
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps!
Ichiro Yamada walked slowly with someone, but when he was a hundred paces away, he suddenly stopped.
This is a relatively safe distance, because the maximum attack distance of an ordinary bow and arrow is only 100 paces, and 100 steps is already the end of a strong crossbow, and it does not have much lethality.
He looked at this side carefully, his gaze only glanced over Lin Haoran, and then fell on Zhao Zhukuai, who was wearing a public uniform. But I don't know if Lin Haoran is too young, or if the clothes are far less elegant than Zhao Zhutou, and he mistakenly thinks that Tie Zhutou is the leader.
This also led him to a second misjudgment. Because it was judged that an unscrupulous official like Zhao Zhutou was the leader, and Lei Zhouwei mixed with the people who were serving in conscription, he naturally thought that this big gang was all village warriors.
Since this group is just a village warrior, there will be no firearms, even if they are armed with bows and arrows, they may not be able to shoot, let alone firearms that make them a little jealous.
This is a real war!
While Yamada Ichiro looked at this group, Lin Haoran also looked at these widows and made a judgment on Yamada Ichiro's identity.
But I saw that Yamada Ichiro had a funny moon head, wearing a Japanese-style belly armor, holding a wild sword, not tall, and none of his body exuded the breath of a Japanese man.
Obviously, this gang is very likely to be the Japanese who have just flowed into the waters of western Guangdong, and their hands are stained with the blood of the people of western Guangdong. As soon as he thought of this, his hand holding the bird gun tightened, silently measuring the distance between the two sides.
"......@#¥八嗄!"
Ichiro Yamada pointed to this side, but he spoke Japanese.
The iron catcher first pretended not to understand and asked left and right, and then said mockingly to Yamada Ichiro: "What is this widow calling strangely?" You speak worse than a crow, can you speak a human language? ”
Yamada Ichiro also reacted, there was a language barrier between the two sides, and seeing that there must be no good words in the mouth of the iron catcher, he shouted a few words at him angrily.
But I saw a strangely dressed Japanese stand up, but I don't know if it was a Ming or a Korean, acting as an interpreter and saying: "You hand over your belongings and spare you from death!" ”
It's rampant!
Lin Haoran secretly thought in his heart that he actually regarded them as nothing, so he gave the iron catcher another look.
The iron catcher immediately understood the meaning, and he couldn't weaken his momentum in front of the wolf, so he deliberately laughed and said: "Just you mud legs, who will spare whom today, it's not necessarily!" ”
The interpreter muttered to Ichiro Yamada, but when he saw that Ichiro Yamada was furious, he suddenly raised his shiny sword.
"Kill!"
Yamada Ichiro knew the importance of courage, and as long as he behaved fiercely enough, these Ming people would often scatter in a hurry. Especially when the other party holds the gun, he must move forward bravely, and scare the other party to abandon the gun and flee, then he can kill people like cutting melons in the back.
Although he had noticed that there was a young scholar holding a bird gun on the other side, he was not afraid. But not to say whether the other party knows how to shoot, whether he has the courage to shoot at him, the error of this thing is actually very large.
How so!
Indeed, after seeing Yamada Ichiro rushing over fearlessly, many people couldn't help but take a step back, and the entire battle formation was immediately slightly deformed.
They are ready to run away at any time, and even have planned an escape route in their minds. Even the hot-blooded young man who said before that he was going to fight, faced with this group of fierce and fearless widows, he was also cowardly in his heart.
Eighty steps, sixty steps, forty steps......
Yamada Ichiro saw the fear of these villagers, his eyes immediately showed joy, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. I have begun to look forward to it, and I want to be like the last time in Xuwen County, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and arbitrarily harvesting the lives of these Ming people.
Bang!
But at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
