Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince: Two hundred and fifty-seven open!

Chapter 257 Open!

The southern city wall is relatively short, but the Japanese pirates crossed the sea without a large number of siege equipment. The first round of attack was fiercely counterattacked by the Ming army, and a pile of dead bodies temporarily retreated.

Liang Xinghua didn’t care about the meal. He hurriedly patrolled the four cities and saw that the Japanese pirates were concentrated in the East. He transferred all the main forces of the city to the East for defense. The remaining three cities were strictly prepared. As soon as there was a policeman, he would send a bell and drum. The troop transported past.

In Great Ming, Liang Xinghua discovered that the Japanese pirates had entered the house near the city wall and brutally slaughtered the people. In addition to commanding soldiers and shooting arrows, he tried to kill and hinder the Japanese pirates. He could only watch the massacre and humiliation of the people, and then he discovered that the Japanese pirates had the intent to set up escalators to the houses close to the city wall. He immediately called the officers and soldiers to launch rockets and set fire to the houses.

The Japanese have always made guerrilla surprise attacks and rarely attack the Great Pass of the Great City. However, this Japanese army refused to retreat despite siege and defensive frustration. In the afternoon, the Japanese made a large number of siege ladders from the demolished houses and a few Lu public vehicles, and attacked again.

Liang Xinghua was commanding a counterattack at the head of the city. Suddenly, when a police call came from Nancheng, Liang Xinghua hurriedly handed over the defense of Dongcheng to the deputy general He. He led 500 soldiers and hurried to Nancheng and boarded the wall of Nancheng, only to see the moat outside the city. There were five or six hundred Japanese pirates clamoring, and there was a thick forest one mile away, and there seemed to be countless ambushes in the forest.

Mao Jun, the defender of the city, said nervously: "The guardian, the Japanese seem to be cutting wood in the forest. I think their number is no less than two thousand. I am afraid that there are not enough soldiers in the city, so I have to notify the adults."

Liang Xinghua watched carefully for a while, and sneered: "This must be a tactic of the Japanese suspicious of soldiers. The bluff made me divide my troops and reduce my defenses in the East City. Don't panic, although you can defend the city with peace of mind. There is no enemy attacking the city. As a warning, the war in the East City is critical, and the officer can’t rest assured, he has to rush back immediately."

Mao Jun was timid and hesitated and said: "The art of war has its own words. The truth is imaginary, and the imaginary is real. The Japanese are very cunning. What if I deliberately neglected our military spirit?"

Mao Jun said that Liang Xinghua hesitated. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Hold on, and it will be fine when the Suzhou reinforcements arrive. I will leave you with another 300 people. Be careful at all times."

Liang Xinghua left three hundred officers and soldiers in Nancheng. When he rushed back to the East City, the Japanese pirates' new round of attacks ended. A dead body was left under the city wall. The city gate was cracked by the Japanese pirates who risked the attack. , Shaky. Defender of the city will be directing Minzhuang and the young and young laborers temporarily recruited to block the stone and soil under the city gate. Press the struts for reinforcement.

Liang Xinghua climbed up the city wall and looked out at the mouth of the pheasant wall. This could not help but groan. The Japanese pirates outside the city retreated temporarily, and the rear team took a detour and disappeared. Nowhere to go. The Japanese pirates resorted to a reduction of troops. It seems that there are already less than two thousand Japanese pirates outside the East City. It is unpredictable where the main force of the Japanese people will move. At this time, a warning message came from Beicheng. Liang Xinghua did not dare to be careless and immediately led the army to help.

In this way, there are warning signs in the four cities, and the city's defenders will be exhausted. At nightfall, the defenders were tired of horses and horses. I am afraid that the defenders will not be able to support the dawn at all. The defenders and the people in the city are worried and look forward to the reinforcements of Suzhou, and they are increasingly anxious.

The moon gradually rises, and the moon of Jiangnan is like a feminine woman, and the thin clouds are like shame. Yuehua is like water. Qingqing shines on the earth. Under the four city walls, in the grass and in the ditches, frogs and insects are quiet. Not at all affected by the torches of the North City and the East City, as bright as the day, screaming and shaking the earth.

At this time, in order to concentrate their forces on the lower East City, the Japanese had already withdrawn the suspected soldiers from the West City. In the moonlight, several figures quietly rushed to the city. The defenders in the city didn't dare to be careless for a moment, and immediately picked up their bows and arrows and shouted loudly. : "Stop! People who come from the city give their names!"

A trembling voice yelled upwards: "He... fuck, what are you calling, be careful to recruit the widows".

Shoucheng Pi hurriedly rushed up the city wall after hearing the news, and asked urgently: "Who is under the city?"

A local accent in Wujiang County shouted: "My lord, we have sent military information to Suzhou, and the governor has sent an army to help."

Another cursed, "Shut up and let Liu talk to Master Li."

The general defender of the city is called Li Bin. When the people in the city called out his surname and mentioned Mr. Liu Ba, he couldn't help but said: "Liu Yu? Did you pass the letter?"

Someone in the city replied: "Yes, Lord Li, go to the city quickly, I have a secret letter from the governor to show to the guard."

Li Bin and Liu Yu are familiar with each other, and it is indeed his accent. He is looking forward to the reinforcements in the city and is eager to pierce his eyes. Where can he think more? What's more, there are 700 defenders on the city, and the city is not enough. He hurriedly ordered: "Quickly open the city gate and let Mr. Liu come in."

The guard sergeant who heard that the governor's army was about to arrive happily ran down the city wall, removed the thick support log, and slowly opened the city gate, the probe whispered: "Come in soon."

A human figure leaped like an ape with a swift sound of wind, and a sharp blade slashed like lightning, and a skull fell to the ground, full of blood spraying the man's face.

The man was extremely fierce. He stretched out his hand and wiped his face, wiped off the blood that stuck his eyes, twisted his body and broke into the city, the five-foot long sword danced away, and there were white lights everywhere in the radius, and the unprepared officers and soldiers screamed. One after another, they fell to the ground, and the officers and soldiers left shouted, turned and fled.

Outside the city gate, several Japanese pirates rushed into the city gate with Zhang Er’s vermilion spear and opened the city gate wide. Taking advantage of the darkness that had been quietly covered by the nearby grass, the Japanese pirates slammed into the city and shouted. go with.

Liu Yu stood by the roadside, watching the Japanese pirates rushing into the city, and tremblingly said to the Japanese pirates on the side: "Big Brother Fang, our village folks, you said that as long as you open the city gate, you will spare my life, I ......Can I go now?"

The Japanese pirate with a knife treacherously smiled and said, "Of course, I said that I would spare your life, so I won't break my promise."

Liu Yan felt relieved that his personal life was saved. Selfishness and greed made the only trace of shame in his heart disappear. He immediately said to the Japanese pirate with gratitude and tears: "Thank you, Brother Fang, that little brother. I left, and see you tomorrow. I will invite my eldest brother to have a drink to thank you."

Before the words fell, a sharp blade of sword came out of his chest, and Liu Yan's eyes protruded, staring at the blurry smiling face in front of him in astonishment. The Japanese surname Fang smiled and said, "I said to forgive you. I didn't say that others will also forgive you. You can drink this wine by yourself on Huangquan Road." After finishing talking, he laughed wildly and rushed into the city with a knife.

Liu Yan's face was full of pain and regret. There are cries and flares of fire in the city, and all of this has become so far away to him. The corpse collapsed softly by the side of the road, and the ugly, sinful corpse was lightly covered with moonlight like a gauze, and it was bleak.

Wujiang City, lost...

When the west wing is under the moon, the windward household is half open. The shadow of the flowers moved against the wall, suspected to be a jade.

Follow the path paved with gravel. In the shade of flowers, Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun sat opposite each other. The moonlight was bright, and the gentleman's jade man's plain-faced Tsing Yi was very sultry, especially the blush on her pretty face after drinking. Although it is under the moon, it will not diminish the seductive beauty.

Yang Ling sighed lightly, put down the ivory chopsticks and rubbed his knees and said, "It's been a long time since I have such a sense of pleasure and mood. Alas, imagine the ruggedness of the Northwest Army, the sturdiness of the Northeast Army, and the fact that the Southwest Army is in the poor mountains and rivers. It’s also arrogant and ferocious. No matter which army is placed in Jiangnan, it will be a tiger and wolf soldier. In which round will the little Japanese pirates get into trouble? I want to break my head and never think that the Jiangnan soldiers are like a flock of sheep. , Anger it! There is nothing more than this."

"Sorrow for its misfortune, anger without contention?" Cheng Qiyun said with a wide range of different eyes, and said happily: "My lord's words are sharp and incisive. This is a wonderful practice!"

Yang Ling was taken aback. He always thought...this was an idiom, but Bo Rudai Lou'er had never heard of it.

Cheng Qiyun said: "This is indeed a true portrayal of the defeated soldiers, but the Jiangnan soldiers were originally in the wealthy land of Jiangnan, without the hardships of training, plus the fact that they are often swallowed by generals in the field, and hereditary officers and soldiers deserted. With increasing morale, sluggish armaments, every time there is a war, everyone thinks about how to escape. Even if such a soldier has a hundred enemies, how can we talk about combat strength?

Now only the troops can be deployed first. In the warfare, with serious military discipline, rewards and punishments, the officers and soldiers of the Jiangnan health station were mobilized. This group of sheep are tigers and wolves. The weak is only their center of the earth. As long as they restore their morale and courage, they will be a strong ground. Army".

Yang Ling nodded thoughtfully, and said in deep thought: "It’s too late to restructure the army. Now I should clear up the military discipline and strengthen the army’s combat power. When the war subsides, I have to find the root cause. Military household soldiers do not want to be soldiers and are forced to become soldiers. Relying on military discipline alone is not a long-term solution. The method of recruiting troops from the frontier army is very good. I should tell the Emperor Ming Dynasty to gradually abolish military households and implement a recruitment system.

Nowadays, craftsmen have changed to using silver instead of service. Craftsmen are making a living on their own, and their income has increased. Everyone is happy. At the same time, industry and commerce were invigorated. The imperial court increased taxes and reduced the burden of supporting people. The benefits were obvious. The abolition of the rigid military household system has increased military expenditures, but once the sea is opened, the flow of personnel will be imperative. At that time, royal taxes will also increase significantly, and there should be no difficulty.

He said, tapping his knee lightly and thinking. Seeing this, Cheng Qiyun pursed her mouth and smiled: "My lord, it's not easy to take a leisurely moment and think about business. These things will only be implemented gradually after the war subsides. If you are in a hurry, you can't get it fast, and you don't think too much now. Yes, adults, relax. When the reinforcements arrive, let's solve the Jiangnan banditry first."

Yang Ling smiled and said: "Yes, I have a headache, well, tonight we will only talk about Fengyue, regardless of military."

Cheng Qiyun smiled lightly, holding a cup and saying: "Hold the cup to persuade the sky to border the moon, and wish the moon to be full. Hold the cup and persuade the flowers and branches to grow, and Mo Lipo. , Hugh asks about the prosperity and decline, how many people know about this joy? When will you stay if you don’t drink wine at every flower?"

Yang Ling laughed and said: "It's a good match for wine, uh...".

Although the moonlight is dim, the lonely handsome girl, the atmosphere is warm and ignorant, and it is easy to relax one's mind after drinking, Yang Ling dare not say frivolous words after all, but there is a bundle of dry wood that burns on fire. How can Yang Ling know it?

He smiled and said: "Come on, you and I drink together." With a light touch of the jade cup, two cups of sake are poured into the abdomen. Yang Ling picks up a chopstick and tastes it slowly while the cheeks and teeth are fragrant.

Cheng Qiyun said with a smile: "As long as you drink alcohol, the best season is the spring suburbs, flower time, clear autumn, fresh green, snow, new moon, and night cool; the best location is in front of the flower, under the moon, bamboo forest, high pavilion , Huafang, Youguan, Qudong, Heting; well, these characters. They are elegant, heroic, honest, confidant, old friends, jade people, and Kerr. Adults are too hard these days, if you feel comfortable, you will be fine tonight Just relax."

Yang Ling clapped his hands and said: "There are still so many questions about drinking? Spring out of bloom, blooming before the moon, knowing the jade person, everything is in line, you should drink a few more glasses, you are too tired these days, my drink , If you like it. Just drink a few more glasses."

When Cheng Qiyun heard him say that she was a jade person, she was so happy that she couldn't help but smile at him, then she cupped her lips.

The evening breeze blew, and a few strands of blue silk gently scraped her cheeks like a jade. The lower lip is wine, and the side of the face reveals the soft and white earlobes like a jade, the scenery is momentary.

Yang Ling's eyes were blurred for an instant, he just raised his cup. Footsteps in the distance started, and the voice of Wu Hanchao hurriedly came: "My lord, Wujiang City has been lost. Thousands of Japanese pirates attacked the city. They are burning, looting, and strengthening the city’s defenses. Lord Bai and Lord Min are waiting in the front hall. See you now!"

Yang Ling was taken aback, looking at the Japanese pirates in six provinces. There are very few places where a crowd of more than 3,000 people can advance and retreat together. On the one hand, there are many Japanese pirate factions, and on the other hand, there are several large Japanese pirate forces that are divided into forces because of supply considerations. There are only two or two cases of gathering thousands of people to attack the big city. This group of Japanese pirates dare to attack the foot of the heavily armed Suzhou?

Yang Ling immediately got up and rushed to the front hall, Wu Hanchao bowed to Cheng Qiyun and followed.

Cheng Qiyun sat idly for a long while. Fill the pot with a cup. Raising his glass to the moon, he said leisurely: "Sword Qi shoots into the sky. The sound of drums vibrates the original. Huang Chen blocks the road, horses chasing soldiers eagerly. The bow will go from now on, and the flying arrows will be like rain. It intercepts a hundred miles and beheads five. Thousands!"

Yang Ling is really angry. The governor of the six provinces and bandits stationed in Suzhou, and the Japanese pirates gathered thousands of people to brazenly use troops near the city of Suzhou. This is a provocation and contempt. If this group of pirates is allowed to burn, kill, and looting. The reputation of the Governor's Mansion will plummet, and the morale of the originally sluggish six provinces will be even weaker. Even Beijing will no longer tolerate this kind of war.

Yang Ling had a stern face, and Bai Zhongzan led 15,000 people to defend the city. He brought 23,000 troops to support Wujiang City. At the same time, it was told that the officers and soldiers of the nearby guards should encircle Wujiang City.

Seeing that the Governor General of Military Affairs was furious, Bai Chongchan and others were silent, no one dared to oppose anymore, and immediately took orders. When Cheng Qiyun heard that Yang Ling personally led the rescue, she hurried to the front hall in shock. , Yang Ling's army has left the city.

Yang Ling knows that Wujiang City has been lost. If the Japanese pirates take control of the city, the 20,000 troops may not be able to attack the city. Therefore, they accompanied the team with a blasting cannon to attack the city. When the army walked out more than ten miles in the dark, the excitement of Yang Ling gradually calmed down. He rode on the horse and meditated for a while, suddenly stopped horse halter, and shouted: "Stop!"

The horn was blown, three long and one short, and the soldiers everywhere responded. The army stood in place, and Min Jian came over from the outpost with a large knife, and hurriedly said: "My lord, why don't you leave?" /

Yang Ling glanced at him faintly and asked: "Master Min, do Japanese pirates have a precedent for occupying the city and defending the city?"

Min Jian was startled and said: "Wow, if the Japanese robbed a large amount of property before they could be shipped out to sea, they would usually occupy a small city along the coast to block our army, cover the comrades in sending the property away and then break out of the sea. When the inland is chased and there is nowhere to go, they will also raid and occupy a city as a respite, but usually before my army is encircled, I will cross the city and continue to escape."

Yang Ling smiled coldly and said: "Wujiang City is not a small Linhai city. They are looting. Why do they have to stand on the ground? They attacked suddenly, and they could escape before we were shocked. Now there are no soldiers. Horse intercepted. Thousands of Japanese pirates can come and go calmly, why bother to retreat into the city and let us calmly encircle with soldiers?"

Min Jian stunned: "What do you mean by adults?"

Yang Ling turned his eyes, gritted his teeth and sneered: "Xiang Zhuang Wujian is intended for Pei Gong! This group of Japanese people have a great appetite. What they want to take is Suzhou City. Wu Jiang is just a cover."

Min Jian suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be... the Tiaohu Lishan? His motherland, should we hurry back to Suzhou right away?"

Yang Ling shook his head. Yang Tian thought for a while and said, "There are still fifteen thousand soldiers and horses in Suzhou. Even if the Japanese mobilize us to enter the city, we will have to struggle with the defenders in the city. At that time, my army will return to help and the Japanese will be wrapped up. Dumplings, they tried their best to get Wujiang. They must have eaten us first, and then...".

Yang Ling is here. Suddenly, there was a movement in his heart, and he suddenly said: "They made a posture of guarding the city to draw me closer, but also to..." He suddenly turned to the central army and said: "After the order is passed quickly, the formation is heavily armed and the artillery is introduced into the Chinese army. Disguise the siege ladder and the chariot as artillery, with a barrel of explosives in the middle, go!"

The Chinese army took the lead and hurriedly rushed back. Yang Ling called General Hong Peng and asked: "You are a local, I'm here to ask you, what are the dangers along the way to Wujiang?"

Hong Peng thought for a while and said: "This is a smooth journey to Wujiang. Only when passing near Shiwazhai, there is a muddy area on the left side of the road. There are a few acres of reeds on the left and a gentle **** on the right. There are many low tea trees. If you want to Tibetans, this place is suitable for ambushing thousands of people along the way."

Yang Ling got off the horse and asked about the terrain carefully. Hong Peng asked him to draw a picture on the ground with a torch and narrated it in detail. Yang Ling stood up and looked at the map for a long while and gave an order: " Summon, this officer will deploy military orders here!"

Wu Hanchao stands behind Yang Ling holding a Shangfang sword wrapped in yellow silk. The guards on both sides raised torches. Fire Hunting Reflected Yang Ling's solemn face. Yang Ling summoned the generals one by one and pointed to the figures on the ground. Explain to them the tasks to be performed by each other.

Yang Ling finished all the confession, stood up slowly, looked around, and whispered: "Generals, we Jiangnan soldiers, to what extent, needless to say, you also know!"

"Is that the strength is not as good as the people? The martial arts are not as good as the people? Yes, those desperadoes are doing this business day by day, but the tigers can't stand a pack of wolves, sirs! Let's 23,000 people, four fight one is not enough ?"

Yang Ling suddenly roared. He pointed towards Wu Jiang and sternly shouted: "Who is suffering in front of you? It is the hard-working parents who feed and wear for you! They are being massacred and humiliated by Japanese pirates! As the saying goes! Dao raises soldiers for thousands of days. When they use soldiers for a while, the pigs can still eat meat after the Chinese New Year. Is the waste from raising the group used to fatten the land?"

This kind of extraordinary pre-war mobilization can make this group of generals open their eyes, and their shame faces turn purple.

Yang Ling backhand drew the Shangfang sword from Wu Hanchao, piercing the sky with a sharp sword light. Although he has been working hard these days, he continues to practice martial arts with Wu Hanchao every day, and his swordsmanship seems to be the same. The sword flower flicked and the sound was like a dragon.

Yang Ling halted one word, and said with a murderous spirit: "In this battle, you can win and you must not lose! Together, your supervisors will retire and kill the corps leader! Tu. What a long retreat, how long to kill! And so on, if the whole army retreats, I'm sorry the general, I will use your head to sacrifice the Shangfang sword in my hand! Have you heard it all?"

The generals were horrified by him, their faces pale, and they were trembling and unable to speak. Yang Ling yelled again: "Did you hear it?"

The generals swallowed fiercely~IndoMTL.com~Qiqiqi said: "The final will take orders!"

Yang Ling's voice was raised a bit, and he sternly said: "You send the slaughter order to the whole army! Tell all the soldiers again, the Japanese pirates are not a group of tigers, but a group of wild dogs! You are timid, he is showing his teeth and claws. Barking is more fierce than a wolf. You hurt it. Next time you don’t wait for you to pick up a brick, it will run away with its tail sandwiched!"

Min Jian gave a big knife and roared, "I'm fed up with the anger of these counsellors. Both officials and soldiers will touch their crotch, if there is no shortage. When that snoring, just **** stand up and be a man, follow the superintendent to fight wild dogs!"

Luo Yi Luo Dusi defeated the Japanese pirates in several battles and retreated. Because the governor’s mansion was located in Suzhou, his troops were deployed in order to strengthen the defense force. This humiliating remark was heard in his ears, just like a special statement Just as it was heard to him, a sentence of distressed piercing like needles, he immediately shouted: "Yes, at the end of the day, I will take another half step. The sky is thundered and there is no place to bury!"

The bloodliness of the generals was aroused, and they were gearing up.

Yang Ling took a cold look, and shouted in a deep voice: "Go!"
