"The prefect doesn't have to worry, there are only a few hundred widows, and the prefect will slaughter them for the prefect, so that they know that the majesty of the Heavenly Empire is not something they can infringe on."
Li Zixiao walked up in a hurry.
"It turned out that General Li came, General Li was able to lead his troops to help, and sure enough, the general situation was understood, and the official thanked the general on behalf of the people of Yangzhou, and I don't know if the general has a strategy to retreat from the enemy."
When Lin Yongnian saw Li Zixiao coming, his eyes lit up, and he bowed to him and said.
"Governor Lin is polite, it is incumbent on the general to deal with this kind of thing, and the strategy to retreat from the enemy is very simple, that is, to go out of the city and kill them all."
Li Zixiao said murderously.
"Okay, if General Li has the courage, this official is willing to personally cheer for the general." Lin Yongnian also applauded and said loudly.
"Governor Lin will take a good look."
After speaking, Li Zixiao walked down the city gate tower and led one hundred and twenty guards of quartz lanterns to prepare to go out of the city to meet this gang of widows.
"I really don't know whether to live or die, just with the hundred or so soldiers in his hand, he dares to go out of the city to meet the Japanese invaders, this group of Japanese robbers must have three or four hundred people, and they are really young!"
As soon as Li Zixiao left, some officials whispered.
In the eyes of these officials, Li Zixiao's departure from the city this time is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and sending him to death in vain.
So Pan Ying, who had just come back with Li Zixiao, immediately said to Lin Yongnian: "Lord Prefect, don't let General Li go out of the city."
It was not easy for the lower officials to move General Li and bring his guards to defend the city, and with General Li's more than 100 personal guards, we will have more opportunities to ensure the safety of Yangzhou.
Now letting General Li go out of the city with a hundred or so people is tantamount to sending him to death, in case something happens to General Li, wouldn't it be in vain to lose the only strength we have at hand! Think twice! ”
"This ......, Master Pan is reasonable, but this official did not think about it and sent someone to chase General Li back."
Lin Yongnian, who regained his composure, had to admit that Pan Ying was right, and he didn't expect Li Zixiao to really dare to go out of the city to face the Japanese invaders.
And Lin Yongnian didn't quite believe that Li Zixiao could rely on the hundreds of people in his hands to defeat this gang of would-be robbers.
At this time, he regretted it, and immediately sent someone down to the city tower to stop Li Zixiao.
However, he didn't expect to send back Li Zixiao's official soon, so he sent it back again and told Lin Yongnian that Li Zixiao refused to come back and insisted on going out of the city.
"This kid is really stubborn." Lin Yongnian also said with remorse.
"My lord, look, General Li is out of the city." Someone saw it at this time.
Lin Yongnianchao stood on the tower of the city gate, looked down at the city, and sure enough, he found that Li Zixiao took one hundred and twenty white dragon soldiers out of the city gate.
"Come on, this official will personally cheer for General Li, God bless me Daming."
At this time, Lin Yongnian knew that Li Zixiao could not be recalled, and he also hoped that Li Zixiao could create a miracle, although the chance was very slim.
Lin Yongnian took the drumstick handed over by the officer, walked to the war drum in person, and cheered for Li Zixiao.
And at the battlement of the city wall, not too far from the city gate tower where Lin Yongnian was, there were three people standing in the costumes of the government servants, looking out of the city through the battlement.
Among the three of them, except for a tall and thin man at the back, the two figures in front of them were so thin, and the two people in their clothes looked a little fat in these two people.
"This fool really dares to lead troops out of the city, and his courage is really the same as that monkey.
Father is really, how can he send him out of the city to deal with those widows, he has too few men and horses.
Don't let anything happen to you! Otherwise, who will continue to tell me what the monkeys are doing in the future, I still have a lot of questions for you.
Last time you said in your letter, our world is a ball, and I am still waiting for you to prove it to me, and you must not have an accident. ”
Under the costume of the official at the front, Lin Wan'er's beautiful face was revealed at this time.
The eyes that seemed to be able to speak, now full of worry, stared at the tall figure on the horse outside the city, and muttered to himself.
"Miss, let's go back, if the master finds out that we sneaked here, we have to break the slave's legs."
At this time, the same person behind him was wearing the costume of a servant, but he was actually a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, fair-skinned, beautiful girl, and whispered to Lin Wan'er, looking timid.
"It's okay, Rou'er, my father won't find out." Lin Wan'er turned her head and said comfortingly to her maid.
"Miss, you really shouldn't come here, this is really not the place where your daughter's family should come, in case you have any mistakes, how can you explain your humble duties to adults!"
The man behind him was one of Lin Yongnian's generals, and he was also persuading Lin Wan'er at this time.
"Uncle Gu, with you, Wan'er knows that it will be fine, hehe. Let's take a look and leave, shall we? Please, Uncle Gu. ”
Faced with Lin Wan'er's coquettishness, the middle-aged general smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Okay, just listen to Miss." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Lin Wan'er immediately showed a sly smile and said in a low voice.
"Uncle Gu, you say, will General Li be able to defeat these hateful widows?" Instead, Lin Wan'er's eyes looked out of the city again, and she said in a worried tone.
Gu Mao, who was standing behind Lin Wan'er, shook his head, he thought in his heart that Li Zixiao was too reckless this time, and there was little hope of winning, after all, these would-be robbers were not in vain.
However, just as he was about to say something, he temporarily changed it again: "Since this General Li dares to go out of the city, he must have confidence in himself, and he may be able to defeat this group of pirates." ”
In fact, Gu Mao didn't even believe what he said, but he knew that this was what Lin Wan'er wanted to hear at this time.
"Yes, he will win." Lin Wan'er also whispered to herself.
Outside the city, Fujita Heihiro originally planned to demonstrate outside Yangzhou, then leave, plunder the surrounding towns again, and then return to the river and leave by boat.
After all, this is already deep into the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and the surrounding Ming troops are estimated to arrive in a short time, although they look down on the Ming Dynasty troops at this time.
But Fujita followed his master in the island country and fought many battles, he was very brave and very brainy, and knew the truth that two fists are invincible to four hands.
A few hundred of them may not be afraid of thousands of Ming troops, or even defeat them, but if they come with thousands, or even tens of thousands of Ming troops, they will not be able to kill them no matter how powerful they are.
Therefore, when the demonstration is over and he has made enough oil and water, he will also open up, after all, this is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the Japanese robbers he brought to Yangzhou this time were actually only 300 people.
This time, the entire number of Japanese pirates he brought with him was only less than 700 people, and as for what the Ming army sentry said that there were thousands of Japanese pirates who attacked him, it was pure nonsense.
When these sentries learned of the attack of the Japanese invaders, they were so frightened that they dared to watch from a distance, and after roughly guessing the number of Japanese invaders, they came back to report it.
At this time, Fujita's other more than 300 Japanese soldiers were still looting in other surrounding towns, so it was impossible to come.
And he brought some of his subordinates to come over to see what Yangzhou was like, so that these local buns from the island country could see their horizons and see what a big city was.
Just when Fujita felt that the demonstration was almost over, he was about to take people away.
At this time, they were surprised to find that the gate of Yangzhou was slowly opened, and a team of Ming troops opened the city gate.
"Nani? Those cowards in the Ming Kingdom dared to go out of the city? ”
Seeing the abnormal actions of the Ming army, Fujita Pinghao was surprised and delighted, and said to a Japanese leader beside him: "Komura-kun, the Ming people have come to die again, you immediately lead a team of samurai to kill them all!"
If we can take advantage of the situation to fight in this big city, we will be rich, and then the gold, silver, and women in it will all be ours! ”
"Hello!"
The leader of the pirates also looked excited, drew his katana, took the thirty pirates with him, and rushed forward with a loud roar.
Some people will ask, why are the Japanese robbers so rampant, and a mere leader with dozens of people dares to rush to hundreds of Ming troops and launch a charge?
In fact, this is very normal, and of course there is a reason for the arrogance of the Japanese cowards.
In the past, when the Ming army encountered the Ming army, often dozens of Japanese soldiers could chase hundreds of Ming soldiers to kill, and the biggest characteristic of the Ming army at this time was that they were vulnerable to a blow and were defeated in a battle.
Although the Ming army in front of them who went out of the city, the armor they wore was different from the Ming army they encountered in the past.
The armor was brighter than the Ming army they had encountered before, and the weapons were more sophisticated, but in the eyes of these would-be robbers who were used to fighting with the Ming army, they didn't mean anything.
They didn't have any armor on their bodies before, they were wearing tattered clothes and holding a broken knife, and they didn't kill the same Ming soldiers who cried and shouted for their mothers.
In their opinion, these Ming troops are not good at drilling, and they are as timid as mice, all of them are afraid of death, no matter how good the armor they wear, no matter how sharp the knife is, it is also in vain.
Now, these Japanese have already changed their guns and snatched a lot of armor weapons from the Ming army, although these armor weapons are like garbage in Li Zixiao's opinion.
But the protective ability is much stronger than the tattered clothes worn by the Japanese before.
So at this time, when these would-be robbers saw Li Zixiao leading his troops out of the city, they already regarded them as fat meat to their mouths.
Fujita even had ambitions at this moment, if he could take the opportunity to enter Yangzhou City and loot it, he would have more capital to recruit soldiers and horses and increase his strength.
At this time, after Li Zixiao led the sergeants out of the city gate, he immediately set up a formation, with sixty bird-gunners in front, pikemen and sword and shield men in the back, and more than a dozen cavalry opened up the formation on the flanks.
When I saw the distance, dozens of would-be robbers dressed strangely were all hideous, and they all rushed towards them with strange screams.
At this time, the Ming soldiers standing on the city wall looked like earth, and their bodies were trembling, as if they were the people facing the Japanese under the city at this time.
On the other hand, at this time, the sergeants in Li Zixiao's team, who had already led the troops out of the city and faced the attacking Japanese invaders head-on, had a faint look of expectation on their faces.
At this time, in the White Dragon Army, Li Zixiao had already paid every soldier.
However, many soldiers of the White Dragon Army found that the military salary they received was not worth mentioning at all compared to the rewards Li Zixiao received after winning each battle.
For these sergeants of the White Dragon Army, who have been brutally trained and tempered by several bloody battles.
Far from being a threat, the Japanese in front of them were their best source of wealth and the best way for them to obtain military merit.
Li Zixiao divided these bird-gunners into three teams, one assembled the ammunition, one group fired, and the other team was on standby, which could greatly improve the efficiency of shooting operations.
At this time, sixty bird-guns stood in three rows, and the ammunition of the new bird-guns in their hands had already been loaded, and the fire rope had been lit.
Seeing dozens of would-be robbers not far away, swarming in, Li Zixiao, who was standing at the back left of the team, smiled coldly.
I thought in my heart: The Japanese are the Japanese and have no discipline at all, and even if such an army is brave, it can only be regarded as a rabble.
Li Zixiao drew his waist knife, and ordered the sergeant to raise the bird gun in his hand, and the twenty bird guns were lined up and aimed at the swarming Japanese in front of him.
At this time, the Japanese who were rushing forward also saw the birds and soldiers in front of them, but they did not think so.
Over the years, they have fought against the Ming army, and they have seen a lot of the firearms of the Ming army.
Even they had captured a lot of Ming soldiers' birds, but they had all thrown them away and didn't bother to use them at all.
Even if the first round of bird guns did not explode, these pirates knew that these bird guns were very slow to reload.
All they need to do is rush through with all their might, and the rest will wait to be slashed and routed by them.
When they had rushed to about a hundred paces, the dozens of would-be robbers let out a roar in unison, and they all brandished their long knives and rushed wildly.
"Bird hand, prepare!"
Li Zixiao raised the waist knife in his hand, pointed at the Japanese in front of him and gave an order, and the bird gunners all put the butts of their guns close to their shoulders and aimed at the figures rushing in front of them.
By the time these would-be robbers had rushed into the Bird Gun Hands about eighty paces away, the White Dragon Army's new Bird Guns were enough to penetrate the leather armor at this distance.
For these would-be robbers wearing all kinds of tattered armor at this time.
At this distance, once it is hit by the projectile fired by the White Dragon Army's bird-gunner, it will definitely be either dead or disabled, and it will lose its combat power on the spot.
Li Zixiao shouted: "Shoot!" ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
After hearing Li Zixiao's order, the twenty birds standing in the front row chirped in unison, spraying a burst of projectiles and smoke.
In the roar of birds, the fastest dozen or so widows were knocked to the ground at the same time, and fell to the ground screaming loudly.
The White Dragon Army's new bird gun is extremely powerful, comparable to the Miru gun.
In addition, although lead bullet does not have a strong penetrating power like the pointed warheads of later generations.
However, after the lead bullet enters the human body and encounters resistance, it will deform in an instant, forming an effect similar to that of a dummy bullet.
After the projectile hits the human body, it is a big hole, and as long as it hits the torso, it is basically dead or alive.
"One platoon back, two platoon forward, shoot!"
Bang Bang Bang ......
"Three platoons come forward, shoot!"
Bang Bang Bang ......
