Chapter 439 Breakthrough from the front!

It is very rare for Japanese pirates to encircle officials and troops.

Because before that, although these Japanese pirates were rampant along the coast, when they encountered a large number of officers and soldiers, they still gave the officers and soldiers some face, especially when the imperial court sent imperial troops to clean up the pirates, these pirates would often run away , will not confront the official army head-on.

And local officials and soldiers, like Linhaiwei, don't dare to hedge against large groups of Japanese pirates. They often kill one Japanese pirate and report ten.

But this time, these Japanese pirates are gradually surrounding Shen Yi's more than 1000 anti-Japanese troops in the middle.

And these Japanese pirates did not come from the same group, to be precise, they were the "Allied Forces" composed of three Japanese pirate forces.

At this moment, Yueqing County has closed its gates, and the farms outside Yueqing City are basically occupied by Japanese pirates. In a manor outside Yueqing City, there are hundreds of Japanese pirates gathered in this manor. In the yard of the manor Fire pits were lit one after another, and many Japanese pirates gathered together in twos and threes, chatting loudly while grilling meat while drinking.

Most of them talk in Japanese, occasionally with a few words of Chinese, most of them are coastal dialects.

As for the meat they roasted, there are all kinds of strange things, and there are some cruel and perverted Japanese pirates who pushed the looted women and children into the fire pit. Seeing these parents and children burnt in the fire pit, their skins were torn apart, howling in pain, these Japanese pirates He laughed wildly, harsh and noisy.

And in the deepest part of the manor, several cooks who were captured by the Japanese pirates cooked a few tables of exquisite meals for several Japanese pirate leaders, and served them to several Japanese pirate leaders.

At this time, the three Japanese pirate leaders who invaded Yueqing were all here.

Sitting on the main seat is a Japanese man in his early 40s. He is of medium build. He has no flesh on his face but has a belly. At a glance, there is a long scar on his right cheek. The scar runs all the way from the temple. Down to the chin, it looks rather terrifying.

This person's surname is Li, and his name is Li Jielang.

He is a Japanese.

The Japanese of this era, except for some nobles, have no surnames but only first names. Li Jielang is a man without a surname. He couldn't live on Dongying Island, so he brought a few fellow villagers to the coast of Chen Guo , became Dongying Ronin.

Later, it became the Japanese pirates who harassed the coast.

He was very lucky. He was favored by the leader of a Japanese pirate force and accepted as his confidant. After more than ten or twenty years, he gradually became the leader of this Japanese pirate force. Because he stayed on the coast for a long time, he took the His Chinese name is Jielang.

In this era of Dongying, Chinese characters are still used for writing, but the culture is in the hands of the nobles, and people like him don't have Chinese names.

With a Chinese name, he gave himself a surname.

He felt that the royal family of Chen State was named Li, so Li was the most honorable surname in the Central Plains, so he declared to the outside world that he was also named Li, and this was how he got the name Li Jielang.

In addition to him, the other two Japanese pirate leaders are Quanjiro and Wang Xian.

The former has a surname, which means that the family is in Dongying Island, at least it is a famous family, but it is not known why they lived on the coast and became Japanese pirates.

As for Wang Xian, let alone.

This person is inextricably related to the Wang family in Taizhou Prefecture, and may even be the leader of the Japanese pirates raised by the Wang family.

Among these three people, Wang Xian has the least influence.

A table of wine and food was placed in front of each of the three people, but none of them moved their chopsticks. Wang Xian raised his wine glass and looked at Li Jielang, who was the first and most powerful, with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Brother Li, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have fallen into We are encircled, as long as Brother Li gives an order, these officers and soldiers will soon be wiped out. At that time, even the court of Chen Guo will fear Brother Li's prestige. The entire coast of Wenzhou Prefecture will be full of Li Brother's territory!"

Li Jielang has been wandering along the coast for 20 years, so he can naturally speak Chinese at the moment. He looked at Wang Xian who was a Han, squinted his eyes, and didn't speak.

There was only 30-year-old Quanjiro on the side, dressed as a Japanese warrior, looked at Li Jielang who was on the first place, and said in Japanese: "Brother Jielang, the heads of the officers and soldiers are less than twenty miles away from here. Forward, kill these Han dogs for Brother Jielang!"

Li Jielang looked at Quanjiro with a smile on his face.

In Chinese with almost no accent, he said, "Then I am here, waiting for Jiro's good news."

Unlike Izumijiro, the biggest leader of this Japanese bandit was born in Japan. He now has a surname and a first name, and he can also speak Chinese.

Quanjiro got up, put his hand on the Japanese sword at his waist, and said with a smile: "Brother, please let the two wings cooperate, and I will go and destroy these Han troops!"

"Don't be careless."

Li Jielang looked at Wang Xian, and said, "Wang Tou took the lead before meeting this anti-Japanese army, and it is said that he was defeated by this anti-Japanese army in Linhai."

"That's because they Han people are cowardly!"

Quanjiro said loudly: "Even the Dongying warriors under him are cowardly!"

After saying this, he turned his head and strode away without even looking at Wang Xian.

Soon, about a thousand Japanese pirates under Quanjiro's command began to gather towards Shen Yi's troops.

At the same time, the Japanese pirates under Li Jielang also began to tighten up on Shen Yi's troops, squeezing the space for the anti-Japanese army to move.

With a distance of twenty miles, when the two sides were close to each other, within half an hour, they were almost face to face.

And at this time, Shen Yi's subordinates had already seen the Japanese pirates in front of them.

Xue Wei, who was in armor, came back with a dozen scouts, cupped his hands to Shen Yi who was on the horse, and said, "Sizheng, the pirates came from the front of me and from the left and right. There are about a thousand pirates in the front. Pirates..."

"The number is currently unclear."

Shen Yi looked back at Li Mu who was sitting on the horse.

At this moment, Shizi also put on a suit of armor. He was arranging his feathers and arrows. When he saw Shen Yi looking at him, he smiled heartily: "What do you see me doing? I don't care, Ziheng you have the final say!"

Only then did Shen Yi turn his head. He first looked at Ling Su, then at Xue Wei.

"There is a saying in the art of war, if it is ten, it will be surrounded, if it is five, it will be attacked, and if it is doubled, it will be divided."

"With such a small number of pirates, they dare to surround us, they obviously don't take us seriously!"

"Ling Qianhu!"

Ling Su looked serious, and said loudly: "Ling Su is here!"

"Short-handed combat, there is no art of war at all. The entire anti-Japanese army, including me and the prince, are all under your command!"

"I just want to remind you, make good use of wolf whisks!"

"Remember, we don't have a second direction to break through, the front is the only way for us to break through!"

"The front is Yueqing County, the leader of the thief must be near Yueqing, break through the Japanese pirates in front, and give them a straight attack on Huanglong!"

"Raise the banner of the imperial envoy and tell the people of Yueqing that the royal master of the imperial court is coming!"

Ling Qianhu was so excited by Shen Yi's words, he cupped his fists and said loudly: "Ling Su obeys!"

Li Mu on the side was already fully dressed, he reached out and patted Ling Su's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ling Qianhu, if you send someone to protect me in this battle, I will make trouble for you afterwards. "

Ling Su took a deep breath and bowed his head respectfully.

"The officer understands!"

After saying this, he looked at Xue Wei and shouted in a low voice: "Xue Baihu, you will lead all the wolf soldiers, step forward to meet the enemy immediately!"

Xue Wei patted his chest heavily.

"Follow your orders!"

After saying this, the brave young man shouted loudly, took away all the wolf soldiers, and went to line up.

And Ling Su began to command the crossbowmen and pikemen to line up.

He put the recruits among those recruits at the end of the line.

It's not to protect them, but to fear that they will collapse at the first touch and affect the morale of the army.

While speaking, Quanjiro's troops had already arrived.

The distance between the two sides is only one mile!

Ling Qianhu didn't talk nonsense anymore, he drew out his saber and opened his eyes wide.

"Brothers, defend your home and country!"

"Slash and kill Japanese pirates!"
