Chapter 329: Father and Son Soldiers

At night, on the lookout platform in Liuhe Fort in Taicang, a middle-aged man was looking out from the railing. The cold winter wind blew all over his face, blowing the thick coat on his body with a rattle. His face was dull, his face was covered with wrinkles like knives, but his eyes were shining. Although he could not see the other side from such a long distance, he stood motionless until a strong guard hurried up the steps.

"My lord, the sentry on the tower has come to report that there is a fire on the sea, and it is likely that there are Japanese robbers who want to land on the shore."

"Wolver? I haven't gone looking for them yet, and they actually delivered it to the door themselves! And what about the ship? ”

"According to the information we have obtained in the past, the ship is about anchored in the Hengsha area."

"Okay, give the order, the ships sail, intercept the boats, and see where these guys are going!"

With the sound of the order, the entire Liuhe Fort suddenly fell into a busy. Although the ships and troops for this raid were mobilized for a long time, in order to avoid leaking the news, the upper and lower people took great pains. Fortunately, Liujiagang has always been a place for treasure ships to anchor and rest, so as long as the treasure ships come back from the Western Ocean, hundreds of ships will be moored here, and dozens of ships sail out of the port at night is really inconspicuous, only the commander of Zhenhaiwei who is responsible for the transfer of troops and a few thousand households know the mystery.

When dozens of ships from Liujiagang over there were slowly sailing out at night, the Baoshan Institute here was also dispatching troops. Although Li Qianhu was entertaining distinguished guests at night, when he heard the report of the patrol sergeant on the watchtower, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly gathered his subordinates, but won a few words of praise from the distinguished guest who had been careless. At this time, before leaving, he still glanced at the distinguished guest in black, and did not clear his throat until the other party nodded.

Although he is also a thousand households, how can he, the head snake of the local guard, compare to the background of other people's guards, and how can he compare to the identity of the son of a noble person? So, in the face of the fairly neat personnel, he stepped forward and shouted: "The Japanese have not dared to come to invade the realm for many years, and since they are here this time, don't let one go!" ”

Several villages along the coast of Songjiang Prefecture were plunged into endless panic by the sudden arrival of Japanese invaders, who had settled on the edge of the pond for the convenience of fishing, but today they have been wiped out. Compared with the brick houses in the county, their tattered wooden houses could not stop the ferocious Japanese robbers, and their flesh and blood could not stop the shining steel knives. Even so, seeing that there was no way to live, there were still many villagers who picked up their hoes, nails, rakes and sickles and fought hard, but more often than not, there was one-sided killing, and there was an unspeakable blood in the air.

Just as a screaming and murderous wolf slashed at an old man with a volley, he only heard a whoosh, and he didn't know where to hit a cold arrow, which hit him in the back. Seeing that the vicious widow fell to the ground, although the old man was cut a long cut in the shoulder by the slash, he still looked in the direction where the arrow came. Seeing the group of sergeants rushing up with knives in the dark night, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, and his head went blank.

As soon as a few blood-stained Japanese robbers turned around and saw the Ming army appearing, they immediately shouted loudly, and raised their swords to meet the battle with their teeth and claws. A short man at the head was the most fierce, and seeing that five people were outflanking him, he still shouted loudly, and the long knife in his hand turned into a snowy knife light, and slashed straight towards the person in front. Seeing that the castration of this knife was enough to split the sergeant in half, but he only heard a clang, and the slash was actually picked on his blade, and immediately after, he felt a huge force coming from his lower abdomen, and he actually kicked it out violently.

"Kill!"

The five sergeants were terrified by the sword they had just practiced, until they heard the loud shout of the officer in the black coat. Looking at the miserable corpses all over the ground, their eyes gradually turned red, and they immediately put aside other thoughts and rushed to fight. Soon, more and more Ming troops joined the battle formation from all around, and when the Japanese who could still hold each other saw this, they immediately sacrificed the most powerful magic weapon that had ever been - running.

The Japanese have never been organized, and this run is naturally fleeing in all directions. Even though the Ming army that had just arrived was several times their number, the encirclement was already quite loose, and despite their efforts, several people still ran away. Several sergeants, who were deeply stimulated by the tragic situation in front of them, raised their knives and wanted to chase them, but they gave the lead officer an order to stop.

"Don't chase the few who escaped, leave ten people here to guard, and the rest follow me to Shanghai County!"

Hundreds of soldiers hurried to and then left under the leadership of this officer, and the villagers who survived the disaster all looked at each other. Seeing that the ten sergeants were examining the corpses of the Japanese one by one, and occasionally mending them, they silently bandaged the wounds and removed the corpses and the wounded until countless fires were lit up in the night. They were shocked when they had just recovered, but fortunately, the sergeants who stayed behind quickly gathered, and the person who galloped was dressed as a Ming officer, and it was only at this time that the villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, have those pirates been here?"

A left-behind sergeant pressed the handle of his knife and stepped forward to salute, then stood up and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi Qianhu, our Baoshan Institute has just beaten away a group of Japanese robbers here!" ”

Immediately, when the Qianhu heard this, he immediately scolded: "Damn, this way I only caught the tail of these guys in your Baoshan Institute...... Everyone mentions the spirit, don't let Baoshan take all the credit! Seeing that there is no situation in front of me, those bitches have killed so many people, if we Wu Songjiang don't kill them and leave no piece of armor, then how can we be worthy of our conscience! Brothers, rush me and kill them cleanly! ”

The man who was still holding the knife on his waist didn't even have time to react, only to see the horse in front of him suddenly let out a neigh, and then ran out like joy. The first hundred and ten sergeants with torches in their hands also shouted in unison, and galloped after their horses. In a few moments, the murderous centaur disappeared into the night.

At the same time, Zhang Yue was facing the first life and death test in his life. He and more than 100 people guarding the city camp were guarding a major road in the southeast of Shanghai County. Although there are other trails, it is naturally impossible to divide the troops at this moment. His guess was not wrong, and he didn't know whether he was scattered on the road or intercepted by officers and soldiers, and the first wave of Japanese robbers who arrived was not much, only a dozen people in total. And just a dozen people have caused quite a lot of trouble.

After all, it was a peaceful and prosperous era, and although the soldiers guarding the city camp broke out with much higher combat effectiveness than usual under the heavy reward, they were still not as good as those outlaws, not to mention that many of them had never seen blood. Fortunately, it was to fight more and less, and there were a few loud voices to cheer myself up, and I don't know how much time it took for the dozen or so widows to finally become dead corpses on the ground. However, eight people died in the garrison, and the rest were almost all covered in blood, and they couldn't even tell whether it was their own blood or someone else's.

The first wave was a dozen or so widows, the second wave was also a dozen, and the third wave was a dozen...... When the number of corpses on the ground increased day by day, the number of soldiers who could stand in the city camp was also getting fewer and fewer, even if he knew that his usefulness was to stand here without retreating, instead of rashly stepping forward to draw his sword and fight, Zhang Yue had to show the greatest courage and force in his life.

Ding——

Reluctantly picked up the long knife that was chopped off the head, but Zhang Yue quietly kicked it underneath. Although he couldn't exert much strength under the dramatic battle, this kick from Zhang Chao still succeeded in kicking the screaming wolf to the ground. However, he had just been slashed in his right arm, but he no longer had the strength to step forward to make up for the sword, so he had to watch the other party get up with a bone. It was too late, but a quick figure suddenly stabbed the guy from behind.

Hu Qi was already covered with blood on his face, and everyone else was dealing with one by several people, but he was just one person, and after several times, he had already collected at least four or five lives of the widows. He reluctantly smiled at Zhang Yue, however, when he raised his eyes and saw the countless flickering fires in the distance, even if he was as strong as him, his heart sank into the bottomless abyss.

A glimmer of gold had gradually appeared in the east, and the long night was finally coming to an end. If it was still a wolf, would they really be able to see the rising sun in the morning?

"Reinforcements...... Reinforcements are coming! ”

Hearing this shout, Zhang Yue's face suddenly stiffened, and when he saw the flag and army in the distance, he only felt that he couldn't hold the sword in his hand, and let it fall to the ground with a clang. The surviving guards of the garrison saw the familiar color of their clothes, and after cheering for a while, they all sat down on the ground one by one.

However, for Zhang Yue, the biggest surprise was not the reinforcements, but the people who led the reinforcements.

"Big ...... Eldest brother? ”

Although he had worked hard all night, Zhang Yue didn't think that he could have problems with his eyes, so he stared at the person in front of him for a long time before he was sure that he was right. But even so, he still couldn't believe that the person who led the divine soldiers to the sky at the critical moment turned out to be Zhang Chao!

And Zhang Chao's surprise at this time was no less than Zhang Yue: "Third brother, why are you here?" Shouldn't you be in Nanjing? ”

"You still say that I, you should also be in Beijing, why did you suddenly come here to fight the Japanese invaders?"

The two brothers looked at me, and suddenly hugged each other, and immediately laughed. The sharp-eyed Zhang Chao saw that Zhang Yue's right arm was blood-red, and hurriedly let go of his iron tong-like hands, and casually pulled out a sweat towel from his arms and hurriedly wrapped and tied it, and then said in a deep voice: "Dad is now guarding the sea with the fleet, don't worry, these wouldn't want to run away, the guns on the treasure ship are not vegetarian!" Didn't you tell the emperor a message when you left? This time, the emperor appointed his father as the chief military officer of patrolling the sea and catching the Japanese, and the governor Huang Su as the deputy, and made up his mind to purge the Japanese and private ports in Nanzhili and the coastal areas of Zhejiang. Because I used to be in the Golden Gatekeeper, I came with me this time. ”
