Chapter 338 The Expendables

Soldiers are very fast.

How to deter the Japanese pirates who have already landed has not yet been discussed here, and Deputy Captain Zhang has already led five thousand guards to Quchun Beach in a hurry.

Generally speaking, most of the guards in Yunchui are not equipped with mounts, but the three major racecourses are exceptions.

All the soldiers galloped wildly.

Running from morning to night, when night falls, the sea to the east is already in sight.

The team stopped.

"Does Lord Mo have any instructions?" Deputy Zhang asked.

He had already thought of a countermeasure when he was on his way.

If Mo Canghai didn't give instructions, he would hold a grand bonfire party on the spot.

As for what the pirate spies think, let them go.

To the west, Jiuyuan Racecourse.

Mo Canghai looked at the latest news that just came back in his hand, his face was gloomy.

The thirty battalion-class warships of Japanese pirates on the sea had left the sea near Yunchui earlier and headed towards Baekje without looking back.

The one thousand Japanese pirates who had landed were just abandoned.

Or they are not ready to go back.

Expendables!
Mo Canghai read these three words coldly.

Think about it too.

After all, Jiuyuan Racecourse is one of the three major racecourses in Yunchui, covering a vast area.Almost half the size of Jiuyuan County.

With just a thousand Japanese pirates in the area, some people have to be separated to resist the guards of the racecourse.It is really impossible to evacuate safely after doing bad things.

But that would be easy.

"Command!" Mo Canghai stared at Qu Chuntan on the map.

"Let Deputy Lieutenant Zhang, who set out first, keep an eye on the Japanese pirates. The rockets, saltpeter and other supplies will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest. Make sure to wipe out all the Japanese pirates near the coast."

To the east, to the north of Quchun Beach, is the Rocky Beach.

A certain pile of wild grass trembled suddenly, and then a human head emerged.

Report!
The messenger lowered his voice, "General, a Yunchui Guard suddenly came [-] miles to the west. There are about [-] of them, and they all ride horses."

hum.

The surrounding ten centimeters suddenly changed color.

"Oops! Could it be that we were discovered by the Yunchui people?"

"Hey. I'm not afraid of death, but unfortunately the task has not been completed yet."

……

"What are you panicking!" Yan Shangzhen also looked up at the sky, "The other party should just pass by by chance."

If they had already been discovered by that group of cloud guards.With a large number of people and a strong force, the opponent will be killed directly in ninety-eight out of ten.

What are you still doing thirty miles away?
Only then did the centurions breathe a sigh of relief.

"Everyone stands still, and the spies continue to inquire about information."

The messenger changed into a Yunchui commoner's attire, and went out again.

An hour later, he came back to Shinya Yanshang panting again.

"General, the brothers in front have inquired about it. Those guards really passed by here as you said."

"They were rushing to Shangfeng's hometown to celebrate his birthday. But it was getting late when they passed by, so they had to stop and rest. They will continue their journey at dawn tomorrow."

"Really?" Iwasami also breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't believe it. "5000 people rushed to celebrate Shangfeng's birthday. Is it dead to be a supervisor or supervisor?"

Ha ha.

A hundred commander next to him said, "General, what's so strange about this."

"The military discipline of the garrison in Yunchui has been corrupted, and it has long been known to the whole world. In addition, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Maybe even the supervisor of the army is in it."

This is also the reason why the local guards were wiped out by ordinary people in the blink of an eye when civil unrest broke out in the four western counties.

Yan Shangzhen was also silent for a while, "Then did they bring gifts with them?"

"This..." The orderly hesitated.

Although the spy in front could speak Yunchui, he had an obvious accent, so he didn't dare to get too close or speak too much.

And at this time, it was already night, and it was impossible to see clearly.

Iwagami also waved his hand, "Hurry up and let them find out."

The messenger was about to turn around when he suddenly said, "General, those Yun Chuibei guards blatantly lit a bonfire, and some of them even sang songs..."

If they were here to attack them, they wouldn't be so arrogant.

Yan Shangzhen was also speechless for a moment.

It's just that [-] guards left the camp collectively to celebrate Shangfeng's birthday?
He still couldn't believe such an exaggeration.

The Baichang next to him grinned, "General, this is actually not surprising at all."

"Yunchui people are the best at saving face, sometimes they even go so far as to swell their own faces just to make themselves fat."

"And they have an old saying that if you don't return to your hometown when you are rich, it's like walking at night in brocade clothes."

"Some generals have struggled for most of their lives to get the title of general. Why don't you bring some subordinates back to show off in front of the folks in your hometown?"

Another person nodded repeatedly.

"What is 5000 people, there are more exaggerated than this."

He hey pointed to the southwest.

"Three or four years ago, it was the [-]th birthday of Empress Dowager Yun Chui."

"Emperor Changxing wanted to celebrate her birthday. It's nothing more than a big construction project in the palace, even the huge Xingji City was decorated inside and out."

"Especially the four main avenues of Qinglong Baihu Suzaku Xuanwu, both sides are even covered with shiny golden parks."

Gee.

"That scene, that cost..."

"And some local officials even took the opportunity to seize the people's fat and people's anointment in the name of celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday. The people were forced to sell their children and women to make a living. Later, it also triggered civil unrest in the west..."

Many people nodded again and again.

Although they are far away in Yamato, they have heard a little about the civil unrest in the west of Yunchui, but they don't know the inside story.

Yan Shangzhen no longer doubted it, and said decisively: "Order, let the brothers continue to rest. Wait for the guards to fall asleep, and we will see the situation before we act."

However, news came back one after another from the front.

The fire over there has never been extinguished, and the soldiers next to them have been singing and dancing.

Iwagami really waited until dawn.

He looked up at the sun in the sky, and at the unobstructed plain to the west, so he had no choice but to continue hiding in the rocky beach.

But Deputy Zhang, who arrived first, looked at the news that Mo Canghai had just sent, feeling regretful and dumbfounded.

At noon, the rocket saltpeter and kerosene were finally shipped over.

The number of guards reached more than [-].

There was no warship at sea, and he danced all night in vain. Deputy Zhang was holding his breath.

He looked around, didn't make any arrangements, and directly led the team towards the rocky beach in a half-surrounded way.

"General," the messenger ran frantically towards the rocky beach, regardless of hiding his body, "we have fallen for it. The guards are here to besiege us. They are encircling us."

Yan Shangzhen was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked about the situation, his face suddenly turned pale.

Those squeaky centurions yesterday were also ashen-faced, but unfortunately it was too late to say anything.

"How did the Yunchui people find us? With the speed they came, it can even be said that we were discovered as soon as we landed. What's going on here?"

There was silence all around.

Everyone wants to know the answer.

Yan Shangzhen also calmed down, and quickly climbed to the high point.

He looked around and let out a long sigh.

"Brothers, bad luck, we are already surrounded. But General Jiutang's mission still needs to be completed. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Iwagami nodded in satisfaction.

"Pass down the order that all the soldiers bury the horse plague powder in their hands under the rocks and hide it."

"Mitsui, take thirty Shanshui brothers and retreat into the sea immediately. You would rather drown than show up. After the enemy retreats, you can find a way to continue the mission."

"In addition, we must leave one or two brothers to try to go back alive, and tell General Kudo Naoto on the east coast. There may be spies from the Yunchui people among us."

"Others will charge with me now. Killing one is enough money, and killing two is enough to earn one. Try to buy time for Mitsui."

"Yes!" No one objected, and everyone silently grabbed their weapons.

Mitsui opened his mouth, quickly nodded to thirty people, turned around and ran towards the sea to the east.
