Chapter 771: The Great Enemy

The Japanese soldiers came to the city of Guangzhou, shocking the people of the city.

Although many people know that the Ming Dynasty is seriously affected and has a tendency to spread to Guangdong. It's just that Guangzhou City is inland, and Nantou City is still garrisoned by a naval division, so it is impossible for the Japanese to threaten Guangzhou City.

It's just that the reality has given everyone a resounding slap in the face, thousands of Japanese robbers have been killed along the Pearl River, and have landed at the Pearl River Wharf outside the south of the city, directly threatening the survival of Guangzhou City.

What makes everyone feel a little relieved is that Guangzhou City is the largest city in Lingnan, two feet high and eight feet high, which can be described as impregnable. And the yamen of Guangzhou avant-garde, Guangzhou guard, Guangzhou left guard and Guangzhou right guard are all located in the city of Guangzhou, and there are a large number of troops guarding this city.

In the face of this menacing gang of pirates, the people naturally hoped that the government could exterminate these gangs of pirates, so as to ensure that their lives and property would not be damaged.

The city of Guangzhou should have had the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong, but Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang who was also the governor of Guangdong, had already arrived in Chaozhou, and the general soldiers and deputy general soldiers under his command went together, and only one general was left to guard here.

This general is called Meng He, a hereditary guard commander, and he is a very ambitious general.

"Today, when the Japanese invaders, when it is the time for the man to defend his family and the country, all the soldiers will go out of the city with the general to kill the enemy!"

Knowing that the Japanese invaded the city of Guangzhou, Menghe immediately led the guards out of the city to meet the battle, intending to annihilate these unknown Japanese invaders on the Pearl River wharf.

Unlike naval battles, the equipment of this land battle is roughly equal to each other, and it is not possible to win with a large number of soldiers.

Even if you have more soldiers, and the Japanese invaders kill one of your soldiers, the other four soldiers may flee in fear, but the Japanese will catch up and kill another soldier, and capture another soldier, and the remaining two soldiers will still run to the city in fear, but they have already changed color when they hear about the Japanese invaders.

No matter what era it is, even if it is still a military household at the bottom, it wants to stay in a prosperous big city, and it is definitely not willing to go to the bitter cold frontier to suffer.

Although there are many soldiers in the four guards of Guangzhou, too many of them are old soldiers who are content with pleasure. On the battlefield, what is important is morale, and what is important is ruthlessness, but these are not possessed by old soldiers.

The general Meng He took this group of old soldiers out of the city violently, showing the momentum of bullying ordinary people at ordinary times, but in front of this group of murderous and unblinking widows, his true form was quickly revealed.

Not only could they not exterminate these gangsters, but they were killed to the point that they were fleeing for their lives in panic.

Fortunately, Menghe's personal soldiers desperately covered him, which allowed him to successfully escape back to Guangzhou City, otherwise this ambitious and talented general would also become the ghost of the Japanese Invaders, thus increasing the arrogance of the Japanese Invaders.

"Haha...... A bunch of bastards! ”

The pirates who waited for the coffin looked at Guangzhou Wei, who fled in embarrassment, and immediately laughed rampantly.

The news of the defeat of Guangzhou Wei cast a thick cloud over the entire city of Guangzhou, brewing a more pessimistic mood.

"Quick! Town! ”

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

"Who dares to block this hundred households, Lao Tzu will kill him!"

……

At the north gate of the city, a large group of military families and civilians came to the city from all over the city, and thousands of people rushed into the city caves, hoping to escape into the city and obtain shelter.

In order to seize the city, in order to save his own life, no one will give in. The neighing of horses, the shouting of military households, and the cries of women and children made the arrival at the city gates extremely chaotic and even clashed.

A tall general defending the city stood at the head of the city with a knife and watched the chaotic scene, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were concerned about whether there were any Japanese robbers outside the city.

His duty was not to let the soldiers or civilians enter the city, but to guard the city gate, and his life and death were closely linked to the city gate.

"Close the gates!"

An order came from the capital of Guangdong, and the guard immediately gave the order, even though there were still many people outside the city who did not enter the city.

Two Saimen knife carts full of sharp blades were waiting on both sides of the city gate, and at this time, they went towards the city cave in a closed formation, slowly blocking the city hole, and slowly continued to advance towards the city hole.

"Don't!"

"We haven't entered the city yet!"

"Please, let us in!"

……

The people in the cave of the city watched the Saimen knife cart slowly push in, but they could only retreat step by step, and they had already lost the opportunity to enter the city.

It was only one step away from entering the city, but it turned out to be blocked outside the city. If they were unable to enter the city, they would probably die under the sword of the Wako, and tears could not help but flow out of their eyes, and at the same time they made a cry of pleading.

Bang!

The gatekeepers here showed no mercy, and under the cover of the Saimen knife cart, the gate in the city cave was quickly closed, and the city of Guangzhou resolutely became a strong fortress.

After a military household poured into the city, he couldn't help but ask a soldier defending the city in a low voice when he saw that Guangzhou City was so highly vigilant: "How many Japanese soldiers have come?" ”

This question is destined to have no answer.

In other words, this has nothing to do with the number of Japanese pirates, in short, they can't beat the Guangzhou Guard.

Now that they have all entered the city, as long as they do not open the city gates on their own initiative, they will definitely not be able to attack the Japanese invaders alone.

In that case, why did they bother to fight the pirates, waiting for the villages outside the city to leave after the pirates ransacked the city, or waiting for the surrounding guards to come to the rescue.

I have to say that this is the sorrow of Guangzhou Siwei. Many generals have this kind of thinking, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and they have already put their own safety first.

It was the Guangzhou avant-garde who guarded the southern city gate, and on that southern city wall, there was a fierce dispute with the commander Li Mu.

"Li Mu, do you still want to go out of the city to fight? If you are invaded by the Japanese invaders in Guangzhou, do you know the consequences? ”

"We have a large number of soldiers in Guangzhou, how can we shrink in the city and watch the Japanese outside the city cause trouble to the people?"

"Didn't you see that the Mongolian generals had all retreated? No matter how powerful you Li Mu is, can you still be more powerful than Meng Shenjiang? ”

"Although the Mongolian generals have been defeated, our soldiers have the responsibility to ensure the safety of the people in Guangzhou, so they will continue to organize people and horses to go out of the city to suppress the Japanese!"

"Li Mu, you are just a colleague of the Guangzhou avant-garde, and I am the commander of the Guangzhou avant-garde, and I have put your position right for Lao Tzu!"

……

The result of the dispute between the two was that Li Mu, the avant-garde acquaintance of Guangzhou, left in anger without saying hello, but just walked to the corner of the city wall, but met Lin Haoran, the prefect of Guangzhou who had just walked on the city wall.

Although the prefect of Guangzhou is only the fourth grade, the status of civil officials is above that of military generals. At present, the governor of Liangguang, who is also the governor of Guangdong, is not in the city of Guangzhou, and Wang Bai, the political envoy, and Ding Yizhong, the envoy of the procuratorate, are silent, so as to respect this prefect of Guangzhou.
