Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 759: The dirty play style
Compared with the modern oriental magic capital that is extremely prosperous and rich in luxury, Shanghai in the late Ming Dynasty was still a rather poor place. The only thing that really developed in such a large area was the small area of ​​Huating.There is no way. Coastal cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Macau have developed under the background of close exchanges between the East and the West. Without this background, it is really difficult for them to rely on their meager resources to develop.However, now Shanghai has begun to flourish, and the silk weaving industry is gradually developing. Some of the cotton and silk produced in the south of the Yangtze River are also resold from here to foreign countries. These are real benefits. If the Ming Dynasty can open the country and Europe Commerce, I believe this place will become extremely prosperous soon.

But right now, this place that is extremely poor but has a promising future has suffered a catastrophe. On a dark and stormy night, more than a dozen large and small seagoing ships quietly appeared at the mouth of the Yangtze River and headed straight for Wusongkou. fortress!Wusong is an important coastal defense city. During the Hongwu period, a thousand households were guarded, and in the Jiajing period, a general army was set up. There were strong fortresses and heavy artillery. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The invincible British fleet also suffered a lot in Wusongkou.However... no matter how powerful a fortress is, there must be someone to defend it. If people can't do it, even a fortress with a fortified wall is vulnerable to a single blow.The south of the Yangtze River has been in peace for more than two hundred years, the military equipment has long been abandoned, the smoke of the war against the Japanese war during the Jiajing period has long since dissipated, and the bloody war has also been forgotten. The Ming army stationed at Wusongkou has returned to the old way, and Shangguan continues to find ways to drink blood. The soldiers in the guard continue to try to escape or steal something to eat, how bad is it?It's so bad that you can ignore them directly!
This group of raiders would not ignore it. On the contrary, they came here specifically to trouble Wusongkou Fortress.When hundreds of Japanese pirates brandished long knives and howled and rushed towards them through the starlight, the Wusongkou defenders were frightened out of their wits in an instant. Lord Qianhu was the first to run away, and hundreds of them were dressed in the same clothes. The beggar-like guard soldiers also cried for their father and mother, dropped their weapons and ran away.Those ferocious and bloodthirsty Japanese pirates chased after them like a tiger among a pack of wolves, just slashing and killing with their knives.Some guys set fire to it, and the screams, laughter, and cries of women and children shook the sky, and Wusongkou became a hell on earth.

Tian Dai Wanyi looked at the messy corpses all over the ground, his face twisted, he waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately brought over a dozen captured soldiers of the Ming army and forced them to kneel down.He drew out his samurai sword and said loudly in blunt Chinese: "This is our greeting gift to your champion!" With one blow of the sword, a captive fell to the ground immediately.Then he pointed the knife at the No.2 prisoner: "He brought these to us, and now I will return it to you with interest!" No one tried to resist, and no one ran away.

This is the meeting gift they gave to the Heluo New Army.Yang Menglong caused misfortune to Japan last year. During the war, he ransacked the warehouses on the Kyushu Peninsula and burned most of the cities in Kyushu to ashes. The Japanese, who had finally escaped the Ming army's butcher's knife, found in despair that they There is no food to eat and no house to live in.The Tokugawa shogunate wanted to provide disaster relief, but the problem was that the journey was long and transportation was inconvenient, and the number of hungry people was too damn high. Even if the shogunate's grain depots were emptied, it wouldn't be possible, so Tokugawa Iemitsu had no choice. I have no choice but to tell the people of Kyushu: "You should find a way to go to the King of the Sea, and he will take care of you."

The "King of the Sea" is Zheng Zhilong's tuba. He once lived in Japan for a while, married a Japanese wife, and has a relationship with Japan.The people of Kyushu had no choice, and thousands of warriors went to join Zheng Zhilong.These Japanese samurai hated Yang Menglong to the bone, Zheng Zhilong wanted to fight Yang Menglong and they all agreed with them. During this period of time, they were the ones who robbed the Guangdong and Heluo merchant ships the most.Knowing that Heluo's new army was dispatched, these vicious minions volunteered and organized hundreds of fierce warriors to attack Wusongkou, intending to give Yang Menglong a meeting gift, and Zheng Zhilong was also very dissatisfied with the imperial court's order to allow Yang Menglong to join him in exterminating coastal pirates , I felt that the other party was trying to lower my IQ, and it was necessary to teach the court a lesson, so I agreed.

As a result, Wusongkou ushered in a bloody storm.

The news of the Japanese pirates' invasion was quickly reported to the general's mansion, and the general was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground on the spot, unable to speak for a long time, shaking like chaff all over his body.The general was so useless, so don't expect any good performance from the soldiers. The soldiers guarding the fort fled one after another. As soon as the battle took place, the Wusongkou Fortress was already completely defeated.Tashiro Wanyi sneered. It seems that the Ming army is still the Ming army that retreated in the hope of dust. There are not many soldiers who can fight. The Ming army soldiers whose bones have been softened by the warm water and wind in the south of the Yangtze River are by no means Japanese samurai opponent!He pointed his samurai sword in the direction of Huating and screamed: "Kill! Go into Huating, burn it all, steal it all, kill it all, leave no one behind!"

The Japanese samurai howled: "Burn it all, steal it all, kill it all!" Under the firelight, those eyes burst out with a strange red light, just like a group of hell Shuras.

However, when they rushed towards Huating County, a strange thing happened: thousands of township militiamen armed with long guns, walked forward slowly, and killed them!
The Japanese samurai who are capable of killing want to laugh, what the hell, your regular army is vulnerable, how dare a group of militiamen fight us?Going to the toilet with a lantern -- looking for shit (death)!Tashiro Wan didn't even think about it, he pointed his long sword, and dozens of Japanese pirates rushed forward with their swords screaming, and crashed into the phalanx formed by these Xiangyongs!

Then never came out.

The commander of this group of militiamen was a slender man with a strong bow in his hand and a long sword hanging from his waist. He was actually an official... After judging from his official uniform that his official title was lost, the Japanese samurai really wanted to laugh out loud. ————Not even a sesame official, this old man is just a pawn who is sent by the sesame official, and he can't be too young!Damn, strange things happen every year, especially this year. The general soldiers with thousands of troops and strong forts are fleeing, but a pawn is desperately leading a group of noodles whose legs are as soft as noodles that have been boiled in a pot for half an hour. The militiamen came out and put them right.

But soon, these Japanese pirates discovered that this was not funny at all.There are great people in Zhimaguan, and there can also be great people in Zhimaguan. Although the probability is very small, it does exist after all.There were so many extremely small officials like Dian Li in the late Ming Dynasty, but there was only one who could shine forever and be famous in history. And this only one happened to be bumped into by the Japanese pirates. I really don’t know what to say about them. ...You can’t blame the government for your misfortune, and you can’t blame society for your misfortune!

Facing the ferocious Japanese pirates, the little pawn was surprisingly calm. He drew his strong bow and swished the arrow like a shooting star.The little pawn shot three arrows in a row, each of which hit the Japanese samurai on the forehead, killing him on the spot.This time, those Japanese warriors were shocked, and their pace slowed down involuntarily.The pawn didn't shoot any more arrows. He looked back at the militiamen whose legs were trembling, and said in a deep voice, "Did you see that? They are also human beings, and they will die! As long as we dare to stab them with the spears in our hands, they will die." If we turn around and run away and let them chase after us, we must be the ones who die, and then our wives, sons, daughters, strict fathers, and loving mothers! They belong to men, so straighten your waist!"

The teeth of these militiamen are still chattering, but the hands holding their weapons have finally become stronger.

The Japanese samurai shouted wildly: "Baga!" The samurai sword swung the wheel-shaped blade light and swooped over!

The little pawn yelled: "Let them taste the power of the pear flower gun!"

Immediately, someone ignited the cartridge tied to the gun head, and the Japanese samurai brandished his sword to kill, and was about to crash into the middle of the militiamen and slash and kill. Who knew that there was a strange hissing sound, and a burst of sparks spurted over like a fountain. Go straight to their door!The Japanese warriors were immediately bathed in the pear blossoms of the rainstorm. The dense sparks made them unable to open their eyes at all. Cute little flames were even ignited in their hair and clothes, which made them scream and retreat uncontrollably. pole.He was slapping the flames on his hair and clothes in a hurry, when he suddenly heard the pawn yelling: "Sting!" A group of the most courageous young militiamen came out more and more, holding a four-meter long gun, and they couldn't even open their eyes. The Japanese pirates stabbed fiercely in the chest and abdomen, and there was a loud sound like a water bag being pierced. More than [-] Japanese pirates screamed and fell over. Immediately, another large piece was brought down!

Tashiro Wanichi narrowed his eyes, yo ho, are you playing dirty tricks with me?interesting!With a wave of hand, a group of warriors armed with blunderbusses and longbows came out. There was a burst of bang bang bang bang, and many militiamen fell into a pool of blood immediately. The strong wind flew over, and those in the middle fell down.

At this time, the militiamen also changed their formation. A row of crossbowmen came out. Duanping fired a volley of crossbows and stirrups. The Japanese warriors using bird guns and longbows fell down in unison. Those militiamen trembled badly, and many crossbow arrows missed, and their casualties must be even more serious.Last year, Yang Menglong used the Breaking Crossbow to send countless Japanese warriors with high martial arts skills into the arms of Amaterasu, casting a psychological shadow on the Japanese warriors.Of course these militiamen are not using such advanced military weapons, but the range of 330 meters is enough to shoot Japanese samurai in the face.Seeing that these militiamen actually pulled out nearly [-] crossbowmen, including Tashiro Kanichi, everyone felt like going crazy. What the hell are these militiamen, and their equipment is actually better than that of the regular army!
It doesn't matter how they got such good equipment, anyway, the appearance of these crossbowmen means that the Japanese samurai's idea of ​​trying to defeat the opponent with long-range shots is absolutely unworkable.Casualties continued to increase, and Tashiro Wanichi's patience was about to run out. With a roar, more than 200 Japanese samurai swung their knives and swooped forward. They couldn't beat each other with arrayed shots, so let's use close combat to solve it!

What greeted them was still dense spears and sparks sprayed towards their faces like a fountain. The Japanese samurai were brave, but the problem was that they were sprayed so hard that they couldn’t even open their eyes. Backed away again and again with a straight face, but was stabbed to death many times by taking the opportunity.Now Tashiro Wanichi is about to gnash his teeth, Bage, cunning and cunning!With a wave of your hand, the second echelon rushed up, I don't believe you can't run out of cartridges!

Of course, the drug cartridges of the militiamen are not inexhaustible, but there are quite a lot of them, and it will take a while before they are used up.So when the second echelon crashed into it, when they used their samurai swords to open their spears and wanted to kill them, they heard a bang bang bang explosion, and a large piece of iron sand splashed over their heads and faces, and immediately there were many more hits, and they were caught by the iron sand. It splashed into the eyes and screamed like a pig being killed—of course, he was stabbed to death within a few screams.Wanichi Tashiro noticed that these militiamen were divided into several rows. After the cartridges in the front row were used up, they retreated immediately, took out new cartridges and tied them, and the second row connected them. They greeted them with cartridges and long guns. There was always a dangerous cartridge waiting for them on every spear they faced.These militiamen lined up in a hedgehog formation, and when they saw Japanese samurai entering, they used cartridges to blind the opponent's eyes, and then stabbed them randomly with long spears, without any technical content.There are also some characters who are probably heroes of the Escort Bureau hiding behind the pikemen and slamming hidden weapons, such as darts, flying knives, embroidery needles, and all the way to the key points, one by one, and the pikemen are blocking them. It can be said to be confident!
Such an obscene style of play really opened the eyes of the first-class samurai Tashiro Wan.
