Chapter Ninety-Seven: Erect Flowers

In fact, what Yang Daniu didn't know was that just over ten minutes after he left, two teams of Japanese robbers arrived one after another, and they discussed with the team led by Tanigawa Yaqing for a while, and then turned around and rushed towards Zhenjiang Mansion......

Zhenjiang Mansion is adjacent to Nanjing in the west and Jiangdu (Yangzhou Mansion) in the east, and it is the hub passage of Caoyun, which has always been a place where soldiers must fight, in the Ming Dynasty after the establishment of the country for more than 200 years, Zhenjiang has faced two military disasters, and the sad thing is that these two military disasters are related to the Japanese Kou.

The scorching summer is sprinkled on the earth, and the bustling Zhenjiang City is now a rare place for people, and the boats that were originally shuttling along the river are gone, and the once prosperous hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River has become lifeless. The four gates of Zhenjiang City are tightly closed, and on the city wall that is seven or eight meters high, there is a famous man wearing a blue turban that wraps most of his head, wearing purple cloth armor, and his feet are also wrapped in leggings.

Looking at the large number of ragged robbers outside the city wall who were constantly making strange roars and provocative mockery at the city wall, Wu Zhenliang's face was very ugly, he turned his head and asked Gong Daxian: "Gong Garrison, the thieves are so rampant, don't you have a little strategy to retreat from the enemy as a Zhenjiang garrison?" ”

Gong Daxian said with a bitter face: "My lord Mingjian, don't look at the thieves' poor equipment, but the combat power is extremely powerful, our Zhenjiang now has only more than 2,000 soldiers, and the defense of the city wall is extremely reluctant, there is no spare strength to go out of the city to fight the thieves, and if you want to retreat from the enemy, you can only wait until the reinforcements arrive." ”

"Humph......"

Wu Zhenliang snorted coldly and stopped talking, since Zhenjiang City was besieged by the Japanese Invaders half a month ago, Wu Zhenjiang has fallen into inexplicable anxiety, although he has not personally experienced the harm of the Wolves, but Jiajing is not more than a hundred years away from now, the harm of the Wolves is very clear whether it is the rumors of the government and the opposition or the records in the books, he knows very well what will happen to him once he is attacked by the Wolves into Zhenjiang, as for the escape or something, don't think about it, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than two hundred years, and there has never been an example of a civil official running away during his tenure, Even if he ran away, the final result was the result of being caught by the imperial court and pushed to the entrance of the vegetable market to be beheaded, rather than disgrace his family for 10,000 years, it is better to cut himself off when the city is broken.

Perhaps sensing the uneasiness in Wu Zhen's conscience, Gong Daxian comforted: "Your Excellency, don't panic, although the Japanese are ferocious, the number is too small, they can't attack the city wall, as long as we defend the city, when the reinforcements arrive, the Japanese will naturally retreat." ”

Wu Zhenliang, who was told to break his heart, was a little annoyed and glared at Gong Daxian, this guy dared to underestimate himself, if he wanted to change to normal, he had to give this vulgar martial artist a good look, but now the enemy is not good at present, so he can only snort coldly and reprimand: "Gong Shoubei's words are bad, at best, there are only more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, and there are more than 2,000 soldiers in our city alone, plus there are 10,000 young and strong people, but they are trapped in the city and can't move at all, If it spreads, I'm afraid you, the Zhenjiang garrison, will also have a dull face. ”

Although Gong Daxian's garrison is also at the same level as Wu Zhenliang, the prefect, but now the Ming Dynasty is a noble and martial artist, and his garrison is naturally not good to refute him, so he can only turn his head with a wry smile, but when he looked out again, his face immediately changed, and he pointed to the mouth in front of him and made a snorting sound, and he was speechless for a while.

Wu Zhenliang saw Gong Daxian's appearance, at first he thought that the other party was scolded by himself and couldn't speak, and his eyes just showed a trace of contempt, but when he looked into the distance along the direction of the other party's finger, the original contemptuous eyes immediately changed, and his face became pale in an instant, at this moment he made the same action as Gong Daxian, pointing to the front and stammering and screaming: "It's not good, the Tartars are going to attack the city...... Go up to the walls and defend the city! ”

With Wu Zhenliang's screams, the entire city wall began to boil, and many soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies, and the city wall was full of the shouts of soldiers and the shouts of officers......

More than a mile away from the city wall, under the escort of dozens of Japanese robbers in bamboo armor, a burly and hideous man wearing a copper jacket helmet and a burly face was standing on a hillside and quietly watching hundreds of ragged and armed with various weapons rushing towards the city wall in front of him, and next to him stood Tanigawa Masaharu, who had just returned from outside.

This is none other than the leader of the Japanese who has caused the chickens and dogs to jump in the entire Jiangsu Province recently.

Lytheria Kanmoto was the leader of a daimyo samurai in Japan, the daimyo was defeated and died in the battle with other daimyos, and the defeated Nerecta Kankan had no choice but to flee Japan with more than 100 samurai loyal to him, and then came to the coast of Daming to do piracy, because of the courage and ruthlessness of these samurai he led, in just over a year he grabbed a lot of wealth that he had never thought of before, and the team snowballed to more than 2,000 people.

The team is big and naturally wild, perceiving the weakness of the Ming Dynasty and thinking that the opportunity has come, he thinks that as long as he works hard to win a few cities, he can also achieve a hegemony in the Ming Dynasty, and even can live in a foreign country to be a famous or even a king's addiction, so he originally led the people to flow around He also started the idea of attacking the city, and Zhenjiang Mansion, which belongs to the land where the soldiers must fight, became his first target.

Although Erectus is brave, he is not stupid, and he knows how difficult it is to take a city from the mouth of the Ming Dynasty. Accustomed to wandering warfare, it is not a simple matter for the Japanese to capture a city, in these days, he ordered the Japanese to build a lot of ladders and siege tools, and also sent a team to plunder, just now when he was counting the plundered wealth, a leader came to report that he had found the traces of the Ming cavalry, and these Ming troops are very different from the Ming army they have encountered these days, this cavalry is much more sophisticated in terms of equipment and skills.

Hearing the report, Erecti Huakan immediately realized that the Ming court had begun to notice him, and began to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress him, and he wanted to retreat, but he was unwilling to make preparations for taking the city for so many days, so he immediately issued an order to prepare for the siege......
