It was not easy to boost morale, but fortunately, the reorganized troops were simple-minded guards, and the recruits of the Nanami Battalion did not fall behind in the battle against the Japanese Bandits, of course, such a record was rightfully accused of lying about military exploits by those guards and birds, but this further aroused the fighting spirit of the recruits, and everyone turned to battle to prove themselves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But Chang Wei still let the troops rest for half an hour, and the opponent was no longer the same tired Yanagi Shibei as they were, but the tiger and wolf soldiers of Okita.

Tang Jinyi became the most popular person, and the Tang Sect's knife wound medicine was far more effective than the standing medicine in the army, which also greatly boosted the morale of the troops.

After most of the morale was restored, Chang Wei knew that it was time to act, and ordered the horse's hooves to be wrapped in cloth, and everyone embarked on the journey east to Blackstone Village.

Along the way, there was silence on the official road, but from time to time I saw the corpses of my comrades-in-arms, some of whom had their ears cut off, some of whom had their noses cut off, and some of whom had their stomachs disemboweled, and the situation was unbearable. There was no time to bury these corpses, and everyone could only grit their teeth and curse, and their emotions became more and more intense.

Three miles away from the village of Black Rock, there was no enemy sentry, and another mile forward, there was still no trace of the enemy, and when the outline of the village of Black Rock appeared in front of us, I saw a large ship quietly anchored on the shore, and there was no one in the open space south of the village.

"Why is Okita moving so fast?!"

Chang Wei was taken aback in his heart, not because Okita Kazuya really retreated from here, but because the speed of his retreat was far beyond Chang Wei's imagination, and it was not easy to organize more than 200 people to ship immediately, and he was also surprised when he peeked at Yan Ruyu!

"How late is the general?"

When Chang Wei arrived at the shore, he saw a few people pacing out of the cabin, among them was a middle-aged man, not tall, wearing a Han robe, holding a fan, with a mediocre appearance and a very elegant demeanor. On the left, Liu Sheng Shibei, and on the right hand and behind him, even Chang Wei didn't recognize him.

The middle-aged man saw him standing in front of the battle with a horizontal gun, pointed at his fan, and laughed loudly in half-baked Chinese: "General Wen is an enemy of Liu Sheng, why is the army so slow, so I don't have a chance to fight with the general!"

The voice is not slow, but it is sonorous and powerful, and it can be heard clearly in the river breeze, obviously with good martial arts.

This gentleman-like teacher is the leader of the famous Japanese Bandits, Kazuya Okita?

Listening to his provocation, Chang Wei of course refused to show weakness, so he sneered: "You escaped quickly, but you complained that I came late, you want to fight, and when you get off the boat, you will fight, what are you talking about on the boat!"

"What are you anxious about, young man? With an opponent like you, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be stingy to fight with you?!"

As he spoke, he took out a bloody head from the brocade box held by the person on the right and threw it out casually, and he didn't see how much strength he exerted, the head had already crossed the water surface of more than ten zhang, and landed in front of Chang Wei's horse with a "snap", which was Wu Yuan's head.

"I'm not interested in such a role, Okita Kazu! You, don't let me down!"

The loud curses behind him couldn't suppress Okita's voice, Chang Wei had re-estimated his strength in his heart, unlike the rest of the pirate leaders who led Qunlun with their own brave and ruthless weapons, Okita seemed to have completely relied on his extraordinary skills and careful resourcefulness to sit on the throne of the leader, and he could make the Yanagi Shibei, who was not under He Chong, willingly surrender to him, he at least had the first-class strength of the rivers and lakes, and even the top realm was very likely, and it was said that there were Han strategists by his side.

Although it is a little difficult for this kind of person to clean up now, it is not impossible to kill, the key is his purpose? What deal with whom?

"You won't be disappointed, how can a dead person be disappointed! Okita-kun, your head is temporarily placed around your neck, and the next time we meet, you won't have such good luck again!"

Since he is destined to fight him to the death, Chang Wei can't let go of every opportunity that can weaken his strength and morale, and he will find out the bottom by the way. The most important money and grain in the war, as long as Okita has money, the supply will not be too difficult, want to cut off the grain and grass of Okita, cut off his connection with the head snake of Middle-earth is the most critical, the rivers, seas and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River extend in all directions, the coastline is vast, once Okita and the head snake, especially Chang Wei's enemy to establish contact, will inevitably greatly help his action, and Chang Wei is to use the opportunity to play an ambush in Okita, so that he has doubts, so as to separate him from the relationship with the head snake.

Although all this is just speculation, Chang Wei has a keen sense of smell and instinctively links Okita's appearance with his own admiral Jiangnan.

Of course, he can also raid the enemy's home regardless of their background, but in this way, the criticism is very great, and the resistance is immeasurable.

Under the moonlight, Okita really frowned slightly, and muttered something in his mouth, although he couldn't hear the sound at all when he was too far away, Chang Weiyun had enough eyesight to see the shape of his lips.

"Luck?"

Chang Wei understood that Zong Shi had already had doubts in his heart, and at this moment, he vaguely intended to say that an ambush was an encounter, and the result of reverse thinking was probably even more regarded as spies leading the way. Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Chang Wei waved his hand, and more than a dozen muskets stretched out from the team and fired a salvo towards Okita.

About ten or so lead pellets shot out from the muzzle of the gun, the speed is far above the Tangmen flying knife, even compared with the feather arrows shot by the shocking sunset, what is even more terrifying is that Chang Wei used the earth-shattering sunset archery method with all his might, at most he could only support three pots of sixty feather arrows, but each musketeer had a hundred paper shell bullets on his body, although the loading time was enough for Chang Wei to kill them ten times, but if more than a dozen muskets were aimed at him at the same time, he had to exert all his strength if he wanted to retreat.

However, it is far from so simple for muskets to form tactics, although these musketeers are trained enough, and they are still alive, but their muskets are just ordinary goods, even if the three lead pellets that go straight to the target are no longer so terrible after traveling thirty zhang, Okita and Yanagi both used knives to knock the lead pellets away, and Yanagi laughed a few times, as if ridiculing Chang Wei for getting an axe at the class gate, and then listening to Okita's order, several people retreated into the cabin, the big ship put up its sails, and more than 20 long oars came out together, and flew towards the depths of the river.

"Next time, how many people will survive the next battle?"

Listening to the loud curses of the soldiers in the guard behind him, Chang Wei sneered in his heart, but his face was exaggerated, although a counterattack to win in defeat did not become a reality, but the morale should be preserved: "Yes, next time I will never let the Japanese slip away so swaggeringly." But, brethren, ...... It's time to count the loot!"

After all, there was only half an hour of retreat time, and the battlefield was not cleaned up, more than a dozen weapons and even two corpses of the Japanese were searched out of the hidden corners by the guards who wanted to make meritorious contributions, of course, Chang Wei also heard an excited shout: "My lord, there is still a living person here!"

By the time he received the order to return to the temporary barracks at the request of the general, it was already early in the morning.

"Lord He, stop quibbling! Lord Wang and I are fighting against more than 200 Japanese robbers in the north of the mouth of Qinghu, and the elite soldiers who can defeat Lord Wu will need to say nothing like fifty or sixty Japanese robbers, and the number of people in the Okita Department is less than 300 -- this is the information that Lord He personally provided, how can there be nearly 150 Japanese robbers in Heishi Village? It is clear that you want to shirk the responsibility for defeat and escape!"

Xu Shuang, who was avant-garde, pointed to Chang Wei's nose and said angrily: "One hundred volunteer recruits fought one hundred and fifty Japanese invaders head-to-head, and only killed 17 people, but killed more than 50 enemies.

Now Chang Wei's identity is He Chen, the recruit captain of the Seven Seas Battalion.

"Lord Xu, do you want my recruits to fight with your cavalry archers?"

Chang Wei calmly sneered, but his heart was like a boiling pot, the battle situation was completely different from what he imagined, almost at the same time when he received the report of Wang Commander's envoy on the change arrangement, Xu Shuang's troops who stayed in the north of Qinghukou were attacked by two hundred and fifty Japanese pirates, fortunately, Xu Shuang's subordinates were really strong, using the terrain advantage to stubbornly resist, and finally waited for Wang Kangcheng's whole army to come to the aid after paying the price of more than 40 people。

"The Okita Group has as many as 500 troops, which is really menacing. The targets of his attacks were of considerable purpose, and by no means one or two accidental encounters, where did he get the information? And the suspicious cavalry of Okita's subordinates, where did he get so many horses?"

Doubts came to my mind one after another, but I still had to deal with Xu Shuang's harsh accusations: "Regarding the deviation in the number of Okita bereaks, I admit that my information is wrong. ”

Damn, I kindly helped you fight the war, provided intelligence, and accused me of falsely reporting my war exploits, so I should have ulterior motives, and even collaborated with the enemy to be a traitor, right?

Hmm? Where is this hundred households named Xu Shuang from? Is the Xu family an 'old friend' in Huzhou?

Because of Wang Kangcheng's later participation in the war, Chang Wei couldn't deny the number of Japanese soldiers Xu Shuang had faced: "For my mistakes, please punish Lord Wang, but just erase the merits of the recruits, aren't you afraid that the soldiers will be cold?"

"Maybe Brother He met the Japanese soldiers!"

Zhenjiangwei commanded Gu Yushu to play a round road, he did not have too much frustration on his face, this time the whole army of the Japanese army was dispatched, and the only complete victory was that the six Cangshan Iron led by him sank the two Japanese supply ships encountered outside Xiaoqidao in one fell swoop, and captured more than 20,000 taels of silver, which made the pale record of the Japanese army a little brighter.

"Don't quarrel anymore, I trust Lord He's judgment. ”

After being silent for a long time, Wang Kangcheng finally spoke: "Lord Xu, I and you have not seen Okita north of Qinghukou, according to the military's intelligence, that person should be Ito Kurato, the No. 3 person in the Okita group. Therefore, it is very likely that Lord He encountered in Heishi Village was the main force of the Japanese Invaders, and only the main force of the Japanese Invaders could defeat Lord Wu in just a few sticks of incense. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "What's more, to me, your argument is meaningless! The military needs heroes, and the morale of the anti-Japanese camp must also be guaranteed, so Lord Xu's immobility in holding the position is like a mountain, and Lord He's ability to save the recruits is as fast as the wind and Lord Gu's aggression is like fire, will become a model for the anti-Japanese army." It's just that the strength of the Japanese is much beyond our expectations in advance, and I have already reported to Grandpa Xu, the garrison of Nanjing, and asked him to send another 500 elite soldiers. The generals should profoundly review the experience of this battle so that they can fight again!"

"Brother He, according to what you said, most of the recruits' achievements should be recorded on your personal head, and such a battle example is of almost no value for large-scale operations. ”

Wang Kangcheng listened to Chang Wei's detailed description of the battle situation in Heishi Village, sighed, and said: "What's more, Yanagi Shibei is just a fierce general among the Japanese Bandits, and he is not as good as Ito Kurato in terms of wisdom, that kid has an extremely keen judgment of the situation, and when he found that there was a danger of being surrounded and annihilated by me, he retreated without hesitation, and set up all kinds of ecstasy arrays along the way, forcing me to slow down the speed of the pursuit and escape calmly. ”

"It can't be said that recruits are useless. ”

Chang Wei retorted before he said: "The increase in the number of Okita's subordinates is not a cause for concern, a small group of Japanese robbers is difficult to supply for a while, and it is likely to throw themselves into Okita, and in the same way, once there is no grain and grass, the Okita group may be divided." What worries me even more is how Okita learned about the whereabouts of our army? The timing of his attack on Xu Shuang and Wu Yuan does not seem to be a simple encounter! In Kuroishi Village, perhaps because I shifted my position and the enemy knew that my opponent was a recruit who usually had little combat effectiveness, he relaxed his vigilance!"

"I'm to blame for that. Although elite soldiers and strong generals were dispatched from various guards, they also alarmed many people, and it seems that the army also has spies of the Japanese Bandits, not to mention that the distance between the battlefield and Suzhou Prefecture is too close, and the supply is dependent on Suzhou Prefecture, so it is not too difficult to know the information on troop movements! As soon as this increase arrives, I will have to change the location and rebuild the barracks. ”

"Really...... Is it that simple?" Although Chang Wei was full of questions, it could be seen that Wang Kangcheng was exhausted, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Regarding the unexpected expansion of the Okita Group, Yan Ruyu's analysis is roughly similar to Chang Wei, but she also raised another possibility.

Okita was originally a retainer of the Ouchi family, the great prince of Japan, who was defeated because of the tribute, and became a sea thief without the face of the lord, and this conspiracy to invade, perhaps he took this opportunity to get the understanding of the Ouchi family, and invited reinforcements from the original lord.

But no one can guess how Okita obtained accurate information about the suppression of the Japanese camp, after all, Chang Wei's understanding of Okita is only half-understood. Early the next morning, the general of the Nanjing garrison Xu Gongye arrived at the barracks with five hundred elite soldiers, and the general did not reprimand much for the initial battle of the Japanese camp, but praised it, after all, the more than 30 Japanese heads and more than 20,000 taels of silver are real military exploits, and it is also one of the good achievements of the Japanese soldiers, so all the soldiers have their own rewards, and Xu Shuang, who has outstanding military achievements, was promoted to the deputy general of the Japanese battalion, and Gu Yushu was promoted to the deputy thousand households of Zhenjiang Wei because of his military exploits and qualifications are old enough.

Although the semantics are vague, it can be roughly inferred that these families have made meritorious contributions to providing grain and grass, but whether they are provided to the Japanese or the military? Chang Wei had deep doubts in his heart.

As for the dead generals and more than 200 soldiers, although the compensation is generous, the number of casualties in the general order has been greatly reduced to 50.

"Is the order really from the hand of the well-known Grandpa Xu?"

Although he knew the answer, the darkness of the army still made Chang Wei secretly angry, no wonder there would be a change in the civil fort, no wonder the Japanese could run rampant in the south of the Yangtze River, no wonder the Houjin army was in a no-man's land on the border!

It's strange that such an army can win battles!

With a wave of anger, Chang Wei took Tang Jinyi, Yan Ruyu, and Ma Yuan and rushed to the Wei State Mansion!
