Chapter 441 Reinforcements Not Reinforcements

The city wall of Yueqing County.

Yueqing county magistrate Zhong Ping, dressed in a seventh-rank official uniform, was looking in the direction of the battlefield.

At this time, the main battlefield between the Anti-Japanese Army and the Japanese pirates was only about ten miles away from Yueqing County. Although they couldn't see the situation on the battlefield, they could already know where the exact battlefield was.

Behind County Magistrate Zhong, stood a man in his early thirties. The man's voice was a little hurried, and he said, "Magistrate Zhong, you don't have to go out to the Yamen servants in Yueqing, but you must take out all the weapons and armor in Yueqing! We wait Go out and help the imperial envoy break through!"

This man is Zheng Hu, the leader of the fourth team of the Dibao Division.

Zheng Hu has been doing intelligence work for Shen Yi in the past few days. After the Japanese pirates landed in Yueqing, he quietly returned to Yueqing under Shen Yi's instruction.

The Japanese pirates did not attack Yueqing County. Although there are mourners everywhere outside Yueqing City, wildfires can be seen everywhere, and there are Japanese pirates everywhere, but Yueqing City is still relatively peaceful, after all, it has not been affected by the flames of war.

County Magistrate Zhong looked back at Zheng Hu, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Brother Zheng, you just said that you are from the Mansion News Agency, what is your job in the Mansion News Agency?"

Zheng Hu felt a little helpless, and said, "Leader of the fourth group."

Zhong Ping shook his head: "Brother Zheng, I have never heard that there is such a job in the newspaper department of the residence."

Zheng Hu gritted his teeth and said: "Magistrate Zhong, I also showed you the official documents of my family, which are stamped with the official seal of the mansion. I hope that the Yacha or Xiangyong in Yueqing City can follow me out of the city, I just want Yueqing's weapons, armor!"

County Magistrate Zhong is in his 40s this year, and in the position of Qipin County Magistrate, if he wants to climb up, he will not be able to climb very high.

Like the prefect Jiang, he was also afraid of taking responsibility.

The county magistrate shook his head, and said, "Brother Zheng, the county has already read Shen Sizheng's documents, but there is only the seal of the mansion and newspaper department on it, not the seal of the imperial envoy. I lent you the weapons, if something goes wrong, the county cannot bear the responsibility."

Zheng Hu was in a hurry.

Pointing to the outside of the city, he said sharply: "The imperial envoy is fighting the Japanese pirates outside the city. That is the imperial envoy of the imperial court, the eldest son of Chen! If something happens to him, the county master can take the responsibility?!"

County Magistrate Zhong shook his head slightly, looked at Zheng Hu quietly, and said silently: "Brother Zheng, this county doesn't know that the imperial envoy is outside the city."

He said calmly: "What you said doesn't count."

Zheng Hu was speechless.

There is indeed nothing wrong with what Zhong Ping said. His job as the head of the Mansion News Agency is only useful inside the Mansion News Agency. Outside, he is just a small person with no official position and no job. Anything he says is meaningless. of.

This is also where Shen Yi didn't think carefully.

He made a wrong estimate of the grassroots officials of this era.

Originally, in his opinion, Yueqing County would try its best to cooperate with the imperial envoys outside the city, but what he didn't expect was that these local officials were all capable of not taking responsibility, and would never take responsibility.

Zheng Hu took a deep breath, looked at Zhong Ping, and said in a low voice: "Magistrate Zhong, on the document my family secretary is giving you, it has been written that he will accompany the imperial envoy to support Yueqing. If something happened to the imperial envoy, you will definitely Can't get rid of the relationship!"

"The county lord may not know, but I'm from an inner guard!"

"At that time, I will sue you no matter what!"

County magistrate Zhong still shook his head: "Brother Zheng, the documents of the Dibao Division are neither imperial court documents, imperial envoy documents, or even mansion documents."

"It doesn't count..."

Zheng Hu said angrily: "There are Japanese pirates outside the city now. If something happens to the imperial envoy, the Japanese pirates may attack Yueqing County at any time. If I'm not mistaken, the county magistrate Zhong's family is in Yueqing!"

Hearing these words, County Magistrate Zhong's expression changed a bit. He swallowed, looked up at Zheng Hu, and finally became a little flustered.

…………

That evening, when it was getting dark, the west gate of Yueqing County slowly opened a gap.

Then slowly open.

Zheng Hu was the first to walk out of the city gate, followed by more than 100 people.

These people are all from the Dibao Division.

To be precise, it was a member of the fourth intelligence team of the Dibao Division.

After the Japanese pirates made a change, Shen Yi asked Zheng Hu to start gathering these intelligence personnel. Right now, almost all the staff of the Dibao Division in Wenzhou Mansion are gathered here.

These people were all trained by him in accordance with the training of internal guards. Although they are intelligence personnel, they have more or less combat effectiveness.

But when they came out this time, they didn't need to confront the Japanese pirates head-on.

It was completely dark at this moment, and under the leadership of Zheng Hu, these more than 100 people sneaked towards the battlefield without lighting any torches.

Compared with those recruits, the psychological quality of these professionally trained intelligence personnel is much stronger.

They touched the back of the Japanese pirates in the dark, only three or four hundred steps away from the Japanese pirates.

This one is not very difficult.

Because the Japanese pirates are attacking the anti-Japanese army with all their strength, almost all the attention is on the anti-Japanese army.

After reaching this distance, Zheng Hu waved his hand, and several backbones of the mansion's newspaper department surrounded him. Zheng Hu looked at the cloth bags they were carrying, and said in a deep voice, "According to Si Zheng's instructions, we will Let's get as close to the Japanese pirates as possible, and then set these cloth bags on fire!"

"Now everyone has armor on their bodies. When the time comes, don't be afraid, let alone run backwards, but run forward!"

"Run to Si Zheng's side!"

"Remember, if you run backwards, you will never be able to run away from the Japanese pirates. Only by running towards Sizheng can you survive!"

"Everyone has knives in their hands. If you encounter Japanese pirates, give them a knife, kill a Japanese pirate, and get at least 20 taels of silver from Sizheng!"

All the staff of the mansion's newspaper department nodded one after another.

According to Zheng Hu's instructions, everyone carried more than ten cloth bags and continued to approach the Japanese pirates.

Until everyone was discovered by Japanese pirates, Zheng Hu ordered these cloth bags to be set ablaze without hesitation!
The cloth bag is full of gunpowder!

However, it is not military gunpowder, but "civilian" gunpowder confiscated from the fireworks workshop in Yueqing County.

Although the power is much lower than the gunpowder made by the Ministry of War, these gunpowders are not for killing the enemy.

As long as it can explode!
More than ten cloth bags were ignited one by one, and then exploded one by one!
The sound of the explosion is very loud, especially at night, it is more clear.

It is worth mentioning that a few Japanese pirates who came forward to check the movement were accidentally injured by the gunpowder because they were too close to these cloth bags.

After the gunpowder exploded, Zheng Hu yelled angrily: "Kill his mother's Japanese pirates!"

Then more than 100 people from the Dibao Division followed him and shouted!
"Kill his mother's pirates!"

After saying this, more than 100 people rushed straight ahead!
In fact, they are all bluffing.

After all, there are only more than 100 of them, and not many can go to the battlefield.

However, more than 100 people shouted in unison and rushed over in unison, which was still very scary.

At the same time, Shen Yi, who was at the front of the battlefield, naturally heard the gunpowder explosion from the "rear" of the Japanese pirates.

At this moment, the anti-Japanese army has been fighting the Japanese pirates head-on for more than an hour.

Many soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army were exhausted, especially those wolf-whip soldiers, most of them could not lift the wolf-whip that weighed more than ten kilograms.

Shen Yi had also dropped the battle sword and replaced it with a one-handed knife for slashing.

At this moment, although the anti-Japanese army can still resist head-on, they can't hold on for too long.

After hearing these explosions, Shen Yi immediately cheered up, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, our reinforcements are here!"

"The reinforcements are outflanking the Japanese pirates' retreat!"

The explosion of gunpowder was naturally heard by the people on the battlefield.

And it exploded behind the Japanese pirates.

Therefore, the credibility of Shen Yi's words is very high.

What he said was not only for the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army, but also for the Japanese pirates!

Most of these pirates can understand Chinese!

As soon as Shen Yi's words fell, there was a sound of shouting and killing from behind them!

The pirates suddenly panicked.

More than 100 people rushed over in armor, directly disrupting the formation of the same tired Japanese pirates!

Shen Yi found Ling Su in the crowd, and said loudly: "Ling Qianhu, the enemy's formation is out of order!"

"Rush for a while, and we will be able to break through to Yueqing to rest in no time!"

Ling Su didn't have much strength at first, but when he heard that he looked at the panicked Japanese pirates in front of him, he suddenly regained his energy. This Ling Qianhu drew his sword directly and took the lead.

"Brothers, the pirates are scattered!"

"Rush over!!"
