Chapter 1145: The Soldiers Are Coming to the Peace
Outside the West Gate, Zhang Xiancheng, Yao Zhushu and Li Dianshi turned around and ran away without looking back.
Outside the north gate, Zhu Ping'an squinted his eyes and looked at the position of the sun, feeling that the time was almost up, turned over and rode to the front of the team, waved his hand vigorously forward, and shouted "go".
The horses neighed and the cattle barked, buzzing and noisy, and the army marched towards Taiping County.
More than 100 carriages were requisitioned this time, with an average of more than 600 young and strong people in a car, and everyone had a car to sit in. It was different if there was a car, and the speed of the march was much faster than on foot, and it didn't take long to reach the territory of Taiping County.
After entering the territory of Taiping County, Zhu Ping'an cautiously sent fifteen scouts, in groups of five, to reconnoiter in the first two miles. The terrain in this area is flat, and it is relatively easy to detect, even for untrained young people.
After entering Taiping County, he did not encounter a single Japanese robber, perhaps because the Japanese were going to camp and go to Taizhou Mansion at noon, and the big and small leaders all restrained their subordinates in Taiping County, ready to set off at any time.
"Fifty carriages are in an arc in front, fifty carriages are in the back of the hall, and they are walking forward in the big house."
After marching to about ten miles away from Taiping County, Zhu Ping'an turned over and dismounted, raised his arms high, and ordered everyone.
If the Japanese attack, you can also quickly shrink the carriage to form a semi-circular defensive chariot formation, with the carriage as a barrier, and everyone will defend in the chariot formation.
The young men had not been trained, and with a simple order from Zhu Ping'an, it took more than ten minutes for the young men to set up the formation.
"Everyone's spacing is enlarged, the flags are raised, the war drums are beaten, don't stop in the middle, and change people when you are tired." Zhu Ping'an walked around everyone and ordered loudly to everyone.
According to Zhu Ping'an's order, the young people stood a little scattered, and from a distance, the team seemed to be inflated, and it more than doubled in size at once. I don't know the details, but I thought there were more than 1,000 horses.
More than 100 flags were also raised by everyone before departure. Among them, there are three flags, the flag is six zhang long, the flag shape is rectangular, the blue background is vermilion, painted with a five-clawed coiled dragon, respectively on the book "Jingnan", "Blue Mountain Guard", "Thousand Army Guard", "Jingnan" represents Jingnan County, Blue Mountain Guard and Thousand Niu Wei are the names of the two guards in the south. The rest of the flags are soldiers' flags, eight feet long, and the flag is triangular.
After more than 100 flags were raised, the pennants were unfurled and fluttered in the wind, showing even more momentum, and the team seemed to have doubled.
"Knock knock, knock knock......"
More than 60 cowhide drums were placed on the carriage, and more than 60 strong men with drumsticks shook off their arms and knocked earth-shattering, and the dust on the ground was scattered and flying, and the drums could be heard within a radius of three miles.
The earth-shattering drumming doubled the momentum of the team again.
"Da Gang, you take someone to cut some thick branches and tie them with ropes behind the fifty carriages behind the Suppression Array Palace."
Zhu Ping'an said to Liu Dagang.
"Yes."
Liu Dagang led the people away in response, and there was a forest nearby, and Liu Dagang and they quickly cut down a lot of branches and tied them to the carriage behind the palace.
As a result, as soon as the carriage left, the branches behind it swayed from side to side, and the dust suddenly flew up.
"Forward!"
After everything was ready, Zhu Ping'an ordered to move on.
In this way, the team waved banners, the drums shook the sky, and the dust flew towards Taiping County, and marched wildly!
This formation is like a thousand troops.
When Zhu Ping'an and his entourage were still three miles away from the county seat, the guards on the city wall of Taiping County vaguely heard the sound of drums, stood up suspiciously, stretched their necks to look into the distance, and after about half a cup of tea, they saw a huge army coming towards the county seat.
The pennant of this army was unfurled, the team was huge, and the dust stirred up by the march of the army was flying all over the sky.
That's at least five or six thousand.
"Report, a large army was killed outside the city, waving the three banners of 'Jingnan', 'Lanshanwei', and 'Qianniuwei', and there were hundreds of pennants, and the drums shook the sky, and the momentum was huge, I am afraid that there were five or six thousand people."
When he saw this, his face changed greatly, he threw away the bowl in his hand, and reported to the leader of the city, Heihachi Honda.
"What? Five or six thousand? ”
Honda Heihachi, who was kneeling down in the lobby of the Taiping County Ya to eat, heard the report from his subordinates, and his face couldn't help but change.
Although the army of the Ming Dynasty was weak, it was not easy to deal with five or six thousand people.
Soon, before he stood up, Heihachi Honda faintly heard the sound of war drums coming in from outside the city.
"Yaga! I'd like to see who's going to die?! ”
Honda Heihachi heard the sound of the drums, kicked the flying table, pulled out his waist knife, and walked out murderously.
At the same time, the Japanese who were cooking in the pot in the city also heard the sound of the war drums and were suspicious to inquire about the news. Soon, the news of the slaughter of tens of thousands of troops outside the city spread among the Japanese invaders.
Seeing that the meal was about to be cooked, the leader had an order to pull out the camp and go to Taizhou Mansion to join the large army after eating. At this juncture, a large army actually came to the door! Suddenly, the hearts of the Japanese people fluctuated.
"You drop, follow me to the city wall, I want to see which one of the unsightly ones came to send him to death!"
Heihachi Honda walked out of the prefectural office with his waist knife, pointed at the Japanese outside with the tip of the knife, and walked towards the city wall.
Soon Honda Heihachi led the Japanese to the castle wall, and stood on the castle wall and looked out, and the army outside the castle came into their eyes.
The army outside the city stopped more than a mile away, in front of it was a row of chariots, in a semicircle, I am afraid that there must be more than a hundred, the team behind the car spread Lixu, the pennant was unfurled, the smoke and dust were billowing, and the team was huge.
The big banner in the center of this army has the word "Jingnan" written on it, and the two big flags next to it have "Blue Mountain Guard" and "Qianniu Wei", this "Jingnan" should be the reinforcements of Jingnan County, this "Blue Mountain Guard" and "Qianniu Wei" are the two guards of Jinhua Mansion close to Jingnan County, and the guards of Jinhua Mansion have actually sent troops across the border? !
Honda Heihachi stood on the city wall, looking at this mixed army from a distance, according to the flag and the size of the team, a rough estimate of this army is not three or five thousand people, one or two thousand people still have.
Not only that, Honda Heihachi also noticed that in the woods hundreds of meters behind this army, the shadows of the trees were shaking and the dust was flying, and he secretly thought that there was still a small army hidden in this woods.
This cunning Ming army, if I lead a large army to attack, the ambush soldiers in the woods will take the opportunity to kill me by surprise....... Honda Heihachi narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but think of the figure on the Jingnan city wall, dressed in official uniforms, standing tall.
As everyone knows, in the woods, more than a dozen young people are running happily with branches.
