A knife in love

Chapter 2796
Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu felt chills in their hearts after hearing Zhang Gui's words, thinking that although the barbarians were fierce, they were invited by Zhang Gui to help deal with the Japanese pirates.Unexpectedly, Zhang Gui's mind is so vicious, before we defeat the Japanese pirates, he is already planning to put the barbarians to death.This kind of trick is really insidious to the extreme.

Hearing Zhang Gui's words, Wang Xiaoyu was very helpful. He thought to himself that these barbarians are brave and invincible.As Zhang Gui's commander in chief of Liaodong, although he had some soldiers at his disposal, the officers and soldiers were extremely corrupt, and most of them were rich and hungry. Will run away.Zhang Gui summoned the Manzi to deal with the Japanese pirates, which was a tactic that killed two birds with one stone. He could not only use the Manzi to fight against the Japanese pirates, but also take the opportunity to weaken the Manzi.In this way, Zhang Gui can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and secure the throne of Liaodong General, and no one can shake his position.

After Zhang Gui finished speaking, he turned his head to Li Chengliang who was waiting beside him and said, "Take your brothers and retreat from Baizhang backwards, and put out all the fires that the Japanese pirates ignited, so that the Japanese pirates will not be able to see clearly where we are retreating by the light of the fire." place!"

Li Chengliang agreed, immediately turned the horse's head, and led the officers and soldiers back.It turned out that Zhang Gui led the officers and soldiers in pursuit of the Japanese pirate leader and broke into Dongliao County. They encountered more than a hundred Japanese pirates at the south gate and were killed by Zhang Gui's officers and soldiers in an instant.Zhang Gui and others rushed across the stone bridge outside the south city, and ran all the way to the pier. Seeing the Japanese pirate leader and others turned to the right, they also followed closely.But after chasing for two miles, there was a loud rumbling sound on the sea.Zhang Gui was a battle-tested general, and he immediately recognized that these loud noises were the roar of cannons.He was shocked, knowing that the Japanese pirate warships at sea were equipped with cannons, and he didn't know what method the Japanese pirate leader used to send out the signal, and the Japanese pirates on the warships suddenly opened fire and attacked.Thinking of this, Zhang Gui was about to remind his officers and soldiers to evade quickly, when countless iron pellets fell from the sky.In an instant, fifty or sixty officers and soldiers were hit by the iron pill, and screamed and fell from the horse to the ground.

Zhang Gui suddenly encountered a surprise attack, but he was a general who crawled out from the dead. Although he was shocked, he restrained his officers and soldiers to turn their horses and leave the coast to avoid the projectiles fired by the Japanese warships.It's just that Zhang Gui and his officers and soldiers had just retreated tens of feet north, when suddenly there was a shout of killing, countless torches were lit all around, and dozens of piles of fires were lit, countless Japanese soldiers came out from all around, killing Zhang Gui Waiting for people to surround in the middle.

Seeing the Japanese pirates ambushing everywhere, Zhang Gui realized that he led the officers and soldiers to chase after the Japanese pirate general. He thought that the Japanese pirate general was in a desperate situation. The Japanese pirates on the warship knew the news that he was being chased by officers and soldiers.The Japanese pirates on the warship set up an ambush on the coast, and at the same time prepared the cannons on the ship. When Zhang Gui led the officers and soldiers to kill them, the Japanese pirates attacked the officers and soldiers with cannons first, killing many officers and soldiers, and forced the survivors The officers and soldiers retreated to the north and fell into an ambush by Japanese pirates.

Thinking of this, Zhang Gui felt regretful, and thought to himself that he had spent all his time planning a plan, planning to let the officers, soldiers and people of Dongliao County fight hard against the Japanese pirates, and he would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fishermen, so he did not hesitate to offend them. Xu Yingyang, the envoy of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi.Originally, things went very well. Old Man Shan defeated the Japanese pirate army in the next battle, forcing the Japanese pirate leader to flee in defeat.But under the great victory, I was too trusting, thinking that the Japanese pirate leader was already in a dead end, and led Li Chengliang and more than [-] officers and soldiers to chase after him regardless of heed, that's why he fell into such a predicament.Once he was captured or killed by the Japanese pirates, it would be the first time since the Great Ming Dynasty that the general army fell into the hands of the enemy since the Tumubao War.According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, parents, wives and children must be implicated by him. Even if the family is not ransacked and the family is wiped out, it is indispensable to send them into exile.Over the years, I have made many enemies in the officialdom. Once I am ruined, my political enemies will never let my family members go.When they set foot on the road of exile, they went to hell.

The more Zhang Gui thought about it, the more annoyed he became, desperately trying to break out of the encirclement.But he only brought more than 60 officers and soldiers to hunt down the Japanese pirate leader. Although these officers and soldiers are all elite soldiers under his command, each of them is a soldier, but after all, the number is too small, and they were killed by the cannons on the Japanese pirate warship just now. Five or sixty people, at this time only one hundred and forty fifty people are left. How easy is it to fight against four or five thousand Japanese pirates?Seeing that Li Chengliang led all the officers and soldiers to kill a group of Japanese pirates, and immediately another group of Japanese pirates surrounded him, Zhang Gui was very anxious and tried hard to find a way to escape, but he couldn't think of any good way.He thought again, just now he only wanted to kill or capture the Japanese pirate leader with his own hands, and he didn't want the barbarians led by Darian to compete for success, so when he rushed into Wangjiazhuang, he sent more than 50 officers and soldiers to guard the stone. A gap in the wall, preventing the barbarian from getting too close.Unexpectedly, I would be self-defeating. If I let the barbarian Ma Jun follow me, I wouldn't be in such a predicament at this moment.Right now, he can only hope that Darian will lead the barbarian horse army to catch up and save himself from birth.

While Zhang Gui led the officers and soldiers to fight hard against the Japanese pirates, he also hoped that the barbarian Ma Jun would come to rescue him.Later, the reinforcements finally arrived, not the barbarian horse army led by Da Li, but Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu and others.Zhang Gui saw that although there were only about [-] reinforcements, but Qi Jiu, Li Qiufeng and others suddenly attacked the Japanese pirates' backs, causing the Japanese pirates to retreat in a hurry, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.He is a famous general in many battles, he knows that the current crisis is not resolved, although the Japanese pirates are defeated, but if he mismanages himself and the Japanese pirates find out that there are only more than [-] reinforcements, he will make a comeback immediately.At that time, he could not escape the doom of annihilation of the whole army.Therefore, he repeatedly ordered Li Chengliang to lead the officers and soldiers to retreat, leaving only the barbarian Ma Jun to chase and kill the Japanese pirates.

Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu had no choice but to follow Zhang Gui and others to retreat.About a hundred zhang away, an officer rushed to Zhang Gui's horse, bowed and said, "Master Zhang, behind us is a river with a width of more than six zhang. According to the villain, this river flows through the East River. The big river outside the Nancheng City of Liao County. There is only a stone bridge outside the city to pass through, and there is no stone bridge here, let alone a ferry. Please show me how to proceed next."

Zhang Gui thought for a moment, and said: "Let the brothers retreat to the river, and then dismount to rest."

The officer and soldier agreed, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran northward.Qi Jiu thought to himself, originally thought that leaving the seaside would be able to get rid of the Japanese pirates, but unexpectedly there was a big river blocking the way, what should I do?Hearing what Zhang Gui just said, he wanted to rely on Dahe, and imitate the backwater battle Han Xin used when he defeated Zhao Zhi to fight back against the Japanese pirates.But there are so many Japanese pirates, how easy is it to put them to death like Han Xin?It is better to take advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese pirates are forced to retreat by the barbarians, and retreat back to Dongliao County along the way they came.
