Chapter 237: Don't do it in Japanese, don't want it in Chinese
Slaves?
How can there be a Japanese slave here!
Master Hong couldn't believe it, it was not that he hadn't seen the Japanese slaves, and there was a Niu Lu in the Zhenglan Banner who had collected dozens of Japanese slaves who had escaped from North Korea.
These Japanese slaves were not much better than Jianzhou in terms of individual combat ability, but the Japanese soldiers were short in stature, agile in action, good at using shotguns, and could carry the siege of more than a dozen Jianzhou soldiers alone after a team of several people. And he is very brave, and he will never give up until he is in a desperate situation. It's like a pack of wolves, even if there are heavy casualties, the opponent who has to bite is exhausted.
Lord Hong remembered that when he was a child, Ama had sent his second uncle Murhaqi to lead the people to the Korean border to plunder, but the North Korea sent a force of soldiers and horses to resist, and there were hundreds of Japanese slaves in this Korean army.
At first, Murhaqi thought that these Japanese slaves were all defeated by the Ming army, and now they were used as cannon fodder by the Koreans, so he did not take it to heart. Unexpectedly, after the engagement, these Japanese slaves were more capable of fighting than the Korean soldiers, and Murhaqi was not guarded, and was immediately disorganized by the Japanese slaves, losing more than 300 banner soldiers and fleeing back in embarrassment. For this, he was also reprimanded by Nurhachi and stripped of two cattle as punishment.
In view of the fact that the Japanese slaves were able to fight, Nurhachi specially ordered that if the banners encountered the surrender of the Japanese in the future, they should try to use cavalry against the enemy, and should not be entangled with these Japanese in close combat, so as not to increase casualties.
In the following ten years, although the Jianzhou side still intermittently invaded the Korean border and plundered, it did not dare to go deeper. The reason for this is that there are surrenderers in the Korean army, and the territory is not conducive to cavalry action.
As a result, the North Korean side came to the conclusion that it was preparing for the capture of the Japanese slaves.
Lord Hong knew that the Ming Dynasty had accommodated a lot of Japanese soldiers back then, but in the past ten years, the Ming army in Liaodong rarely used them, but the Mongols had fought a few battles with them.
Now, a large number of Japanese slaves suddenly came out, and Feiyangu also asked the Japanese slaves to hurt their shoulders, which naturally made Lord Hong's heart palpitate.
The appearance of the Japanese slaves not only allowed the Ming army, which was at a disadvantage just now, to stabilize its position and begin to counterattack, but also caused heavy casualties on the Jianzhou side.
Nurhachi allocated to Lord Hong and Feiyangu the elite of the White Banner, there were two hundred and sixty people, and now less than half. However, without the order to retreat, these flag soldiers are still gritting their teeth for support.
Yamashita Hyojiro was already thirty years old, and at the age of eighteen he followed his brother Yamashita Hyotaro to North Korea. After his elder brother Bing Daro was hit by Ming artillery fire, Hyojiro became a prisoner of the Ming army.
The knife issued to Hyojiro was scrap from the iron yard, and there was no handle, so Hyojiro found a piece of wood and tied it with strips of cloth.
The blade is not good, and Hyojiro found a whetstone and sharpened it for a long time before setting off, so that he could sharpen this waste knife to kill.
At this time, the waste knife was covered with blood, and the wooden handle became loose due to several times of excessive force, and the blade seemed to suddenly fly away from the wooden handle at any time.
Hyojiro counts when he kills, which was his brother's habit, and now, he has killed three barbarians, one of whom seems to be the captain of the barbarians, which makes him very excited, and an unknown wild cry comes out of his throat. Blood was splattered on his face and body, and in front of him, a burly brute was holding his head and wailing there.
The barbarian was so pitiful that he asked Captain Yamamoto to cut off half of his head with a knife. Unfortunately, Captain Yamamoto's knife can no longer be used.
The battle continued, the fighting continued, and Hyojiro was already excited, he rushed to a brute who was wounded and fell to the ground and was not dead, raised his knife and slashed down the opponent's waist. With a scream of "ah", the barbarian's body was split in half.
The soldiers tried their best to show their bravery, and they frantically slashed and killed the wounded and undead Jianzhou soldiers, not listening to each other's pleas for mercy. They don't understand either.
The Jianzhou soldiers fell one by one, and the subordinates rushed forward one by one, even though the corpses of the companions in front had just been separated.
"Eighth Elder Brother, let's go!"
Although Feiyangu was seriously injured, he was still conscious, knowing that the situation in front of him was irreparable, the Ming army had been helped, and their morale was high, and it was imperative that they immediately get out of contact with the Ming army, and take advantage of the fact that the situation had not yet spread out and hurried back to Jianzhou.
Otherwise, once the Ming Dynasty blocked the border checkpoints, they would be unable to escape. After all, they had penetrated more than 200 miles into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
"Let's go!"
Without any hesitation, Lord Hong ordered a retreat, and several of his own soldiers Goshha escorted him and quickly ran to the rear. Feiyangu was wounded and unable to command, and he was replaced by Saling Shuose.
Shuose belonged to the Hesheri family of the Jurchen Wang, and he was originally from the Hada tribe, proficient in Manchu and Mongolian scripts, and was deeply respected by Nurhachi.
Shuo Se took over the command of Feiyangu after the banner soldiers were broken, blocking the attacks of the Ming army and the Descendants, but unfortunately he was suddenly held by a short Descendant and fell to the ground from behind, and when he got up, a sharp knife was opened on his neck, and blood gushed out like a fountain in his neck.
As he took his last breath, he was thinking of his eight-year-old son, Sony.
Shuose's death left the Jianzhou soldiers behind the cushion uncommanded, and under the oppression of the Ming army and the surrendered widows, they resisted for a while and then collapsed and dispersed. None of the flag soldiers wanted to be left behind, and they followed the figure of the eighth elder brother one by one. But they all wanted to run with the eighth elder brother, but the result was that they were cut down to the ground one by one.
The escape of the Jianzhou soldiers brought together the garrison of Changsheng Fort and the surrenderers, and the Ming army was a little confused, because they did not know who these surrenderers were.
Some of the soldiers with guns pointed their guns at the vassals, looking very vigilant. On the side of the Ming army, he had to slow down the pursuit for fear of being injured by the Ming army.
Hu Sanpao had fought the Japanese army back then, and he had heard the Japanese language, and he thought that the little deputy envoy who went to Changsheng Fort seemed to have requisitioned a group of Japanese soldiers from the Changning Iron Field, is this all that?
Just as he was thinking about it, a loud voice came from afar.
"Lord Wei, the deputy envoy of the Qin mission and the person of the two halls, has arrived!" The sound came from far and near, one after another, to the ears of everyone present.
In the eyes of everyone, Wei Liangchen, who was dressed in a green robe, manipulated and stepped off the mount and came through the hundreds. Behind him, the two flying fish suits and brocade guards set him off incomparably tall.
"General Hu don't be stunned, that's my guard, please pursue Jiannu with my guard, so that no one can escape!" Wei Liangchen pointed his horse whip at the fleeing Jianzhou soldiers on his horse.
Hu Sanpao was stunned, nodded subconsciously, waved his hand and led his troops to chase after him. Seeing this, the would-be soldiers over there also hurried to pursue the fleeing Jianzhou barbarians with the Ming army.
Wei Liangchen raised his whip, and it was advisable to chase the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to sell his name as a scholar.
Lord Hong, this kid, must not be told to run away.
"I've seen my lord!"
Oshima and Yamamoto and other leaders of the Japanese surrender saw Wei Liangchen coming, and they hurriedly stopped and bent down.
"You guys are good, yes, I'm very satisfied with this battle." Wei Liangchen looked at them on the island with approval, and he did see the dedication of the widows.
Just as he was about to tell them not to be polite, it was important to chase and kill the escaped barbarians, but Liangchen thought of something again, and hurriedly said to Oshima and the others with a straight face: "However, in the future, when there is a war, don't use Japanese and Chinese to shout Xi, yours, understand?" ”
……..
I got home from the hospital at seven o'clock. Updates will resume slowly starting tomorrow instead of one update a day. The day after tomorrow, I picked up my sister and was discharged from the hospital. Both babies are boys, but it's a pity, not much to say.
