213 Break out of the encirclement
The moment the red fireworks went off, Yamamoto couldn't wait to give the order to retreat. It's just that he knows very well that if all the troops retreat at this time, it will definitely give the group of foreigners behind him a chance to annihilate them.
Fortunately, because of the commercial nature of the exchange and the convenience of business travel, the location was chosen closer to the city gate, so although Yamamoto and his gang were suppressed in the exchange, it was actually not too far from the city gate.
"I need a few broken men, do any of you volunteer to fight to cover our retreat?" Yamamoto looked at the only two dozen or so companions around him, and made a decision sadly but resolutely.
"......" You look at me, I look at him, and he has not survived.
When Yamamoto was ruthless and ready to order, a Japanese man with a wounded arm stood up and said respectfully and tragically: "Yamamoto-kun, I'll cover your retreat!" ”
The first person stood up, and the next few people came forward, until Yamamoto stopped: "Okay, enough!" Murakami-kun, thank you for your hard work! ”
"Hey!!" A few ronins who voluntarily stood up had sad eyes, but they were so relieved.
Of the six special combat personnel who were sent to lead the way, there were only three left at this time, and they were proficient in bows and crossbows and luxuriously equipped, and they did not engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Franc machine, but carried out long-range shots with small bows and crossbows. Even so, they had three unlucky ghosts, who were shot by a steady stream of muskets and fell to the ground and died.
Now that the war has been fought, even a few special combat personnel who have always regarded themselves very highly have to admit the resolute character of this group of Japanese people. Although it was not very clear what the leader of the Japanese people was saying when they retreated, looking at the reluctance and grief on the faces of the Japanese people, the three special combat team members could still feel a sense of brotherhood of life and death.
After arranging the broken manpower, Yamamoto wanted to say a few more words of mobilization, but suddenly, the foreigner team in the direction of the opposite city gate was in chaos, and the sound of gunfire and shouting of killing continued one after another.
Yamamoto knew that it was probably an ambush reserved near the city gate, and at this time, he made a move, and immediately made a decision, Yamamoto shouted: "Everyone follow me closely and rush out!" ”
With that, Yamamoto took the lead, brandishing his bright sword, and rushed towards the chaotic ranks on the opposite side.
In the middle of the battlefield, the fighter plane is fleeting, and when the commander outside the back gate of the exchange receives the battle report from the direction of the city gate, his first reaction is to be subjected: "Hell, these bastards are ready to break through!" ”
But he also knew that at this time, it was too late to think about reinforcing the team in the direction of the city gate, and he could only hope that this group of remnants would not be able to break through the team in the direction of the city gate.
At the same time, the foreign commander drew the thin sword in his hand and aimed at the exchange house that had blocked their team for a long time in front and shouted: "Blow the horn for me, all attack!!"
He only hoped that his movements were fast enough to bite the back of the opponent before they broke through, and give this group of bandits a fatal blow.
However, unfortunately, when dozens of soldiers rushed into the exchange, they were greeted by several Japanese samurai who were known to be mortal, and they tried their best to stop the dozens of soldiers and sailors who rushed in the house, covering Yamamoto's retreat.
"Boom!!"
There was a thunderclap that resounded in the sky, and the smoke of gunpowder rose in the exchange, and the tiles and bricks on the roof were blown away several feet high by the air waves like rain, and then fell to the ground, smashing on the heads of a group of foreign soldiers and sailors who were chasing around the exchange at the same time.
Hearing this loud noise, Yamamoto didn't know what was going on behind it, it was a grenade he gave to Murayama to several samurai after the break, and since they were detonated by them at this time, it means that they are probably no longer alive.
"Bastard! Bastard! The foreign commander was so angry that he paused again and again, he never thought that this group of bandits was so forbearing, holding such a sharp weapon in their hands, but they did not use it until now at the critical moment. And the use of this sharp weapon, looking at the crumbling and tattered exchange, the commander's heart was gloomy, I am afraid that the dozens of soldiers who rushed in are also more than lucky!
The commander no longer has any illusions about his own fate after this battle, and what he wants to do now is to bring to justice this group of rogues and pirates who brought him bad luck and disaster to Macau while he can still control it.
The artillery on the city wall finally found its target, and the firepower was like the anger in their hearts, and they continued to fire in the direction of the dock, knocking the sea into waves.
Finally, Yamamoto and the last remaining seventeen or eighteen people joined up a few ronins who unexpectedly occupied the city gate, and fled out of the city like crazy.
In the time specified by Wu Jie, Yamamoto and his entourage finally caught up with the sea boat, and Yamamoto, who looked embarrassed, wiped the sweat and blood on his face, and bowed to Wu Jie: "My subordinates have fulfilled their mission, and there is still a little gain!" ”
Wu Jie looked at the hard-working and tired Yamamoto and his party, and when he retreated, he didn't forget to carry a huge package behind him, and said with a very relieved, satisfied and regretful look in his eyes: "Thank you for your hard work, I will ask for credit for you when I go back!" ”
In a word, he said the wish that Yamamoto and they were looking forward to spilling their blood, and suddenly Yamamoto and the others were so excited that they couldn't speak, and they could only wave their hands, and among the remaining twenty or so ronins, more than a dozen widows with a big burden behind their backs stepped forward and opened the baggage, and the ground was full of gold, but it was a pile of foreigners' gold coins.
"......" Wu Jie saw this, and he didn't know what to say, the number of Japanese who went to contain the foreigners was more than 70, and less than half came back, among which the hardships and tragies of the battle were obvious.
But even if the losses are so heavy, now people still hand over all the seizures in accordance with the rules of Hongtang, and then there are rules there, Wu Jie is really embarrassed to accept the money that was exchanged for other people's lives: "You better take it back, it will be regarded as a commemoration for your battle this time, if you have the opportunity, you will hand it over to the families of those soldiers who died in battle, and let them have more comfort in the spirit of heaven!" ”
"Hongtang's rules are here, we can't break the rules because we are new, I believe that when we go back, the lord will definitely give us a due treatment!" Yamamoto shook his head, stubbornly and resolutely refusing.
Seeing that Yamamoto was so resolute, Wu Jie couldn't say anything, in front of many special combat team members, he really didn't want to insist on breaking the rules of Hongtang, after all, when it came to the warriors who died in battle, their special combat team was no longer a minority in difficult battles, and they had never received special treatment.
In the end, Wu Jie could only think in his heart: When I go back, I still have to boast about the exploits of these warriors in front of Tianyang, lest Tianyang really plan to destroy the corpses!
The third update, oh, I'm trying to move forward in the direction of subsistence allowance this month, and make up for last month's full attendance, so, buddies and sisters who have tickets, don't hide it, please give me strength!!
