Chapter 135 Massacre
Relying on the cover of artillery fire, carrying countless small boats of the Ming army, they landed on Jintang Island in batches, and encountered no resistance during the whole process. According to the estimation of General Wang Shun, the Ming army participating in this battle probably There are about 3000 people, and most of them are veterans who have participated in countless battles.

Since the last time he participated in the campaign to suppress the Japanese, Wang Shun, the general manager, not only received double the salary from the court due to his good performance, he was also appreciated by the superiors. If nothing unexpected happened, after this campaign, he will be Promoted to Chief Qian!The number of soldiers under his command will also reach 890 nine.

The proceeds seized last time did not have to be handed over, plus the double payment from the imperial court, Wang Shun received a total of more than 100 taels of payment!With this windfall, he bought a larger house in the city, and even bought many fields in the countryside.

"Check to see if the gunpowder you are carrying has been soaked by sea water?"

Wang Shun glanced over his subordinates one by one, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" After receiving Wang Shun's order, those old soldiers began to check the equipment they carried in an orderly manner.

After his subordinates inspected all the equipment they carried with them, such as firecrackers, etc., Wang Shun then ordered: "The rules this time are the same as last time, and you don't have to hand in any seized items! In addition, in battle, every time you kill If you kill a Japanese pirate, you can get a reward of one tael of silver, there is no upper limit, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood!" Hearing Wang Shun's words, his subordinates immediately understood the meaning of the officer. In this battle, all the people on the island were killed and no one was left alive. Some small measures could be taken if necessary.

"I'm doing it for everyone's sake. Who would think too much money, don't you think so?"

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Wang Shun's subordinates responded in unison.

On the beach not far away, a large group of Ming troops were gathering in an orderly manner.

"How is the assembly of the troops going?" Hu Zongxian asked, turning his gaze to Qi Jiguang who was aside.

At this time, Hu Zongxian had already taken off his official uniform, put on armor, and observed the assembled troops around him.

"Report to the governor, all the troops have successfully landed on the island, and the navy is protecting us at sea!" Qi Jiguang replied respectfully.

"Pass down the order, let the troops form an army formation and march towards the island!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Governor!" The generals behind took orders and passed the orders one by one.

……

"Boss, the order has come down, we still take the lead."

"Well, I see, remember to be smart when the time comes, and blow the horn to warn the enemy when you find the enemy."

After Wang Shun heard the order from his subordinates, he was not too surprised, but nodded and instructed.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Shun and his party formed a tight army formation, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and began to explore the interior of Jintang Island step by step. military.

"Boss, there are people over there!" Wang Shun and his team quickly spotted the enemy and blew the horn.

'Woo--' the dull horn sounded.

The Ming army behind also immediately raised their vigilance and made preparations for battle.

Wang Shun looked in the direction pointed by his subordinates, and saw Japanese pirates standing densely on the hillside in the distance, rushing towards this side aggressively.

It's just that this group of Japanese pirates held very simple weapons in their hands, and some even used hoes as weapons. This group of people were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, and none of them was wearing armor.

"Combine!"

After Wang Shun finished speaking, he took down the bow and arrow from behind, looked straight ahead, and looked at the Japanese pirates rushing towards him, while the subordinates behind him also skillfully took off the bow and arrow, drew the bow and bowed the string, and waited for the order.

"Let go!" Wang Shun gave the order after the Japanese pirates entered the effective killing distance.

Immediately afterwards, countless feathered arrows flew out of the formation of the Ming army, and many Japanese pirates rushing to the front were clutching their chests and fell to the ground with the arrows!Seeing this tragic situation, the remaining Japanese pirates stopped charging one after another, dropped their weapons instead, and scattered in all directions, trying to save their lives.

Seeing this, Wang Shun shook his head helplessly. The two armies were fighting in the wilderness. With just one face to face, the enemy would be crushed!And there is only one end waiting for them, and that is to be slaughtered.

"Brothers, rush up with me, don't let anyone live! Every time you kill a Japanese pirate, you will be rewarded with one tael of silver, there is no limit to the top! Come with me!"

After Wang Shun finished speaking, he pulled out the Yanling Saber from his waist and rushed forward.

Seeing this, the rest of the Ming army also followed closely, formed an army formation, and chased after the Japanese pirates who were fleeing in all directions.

"One tael of silver, two taels of silver, three taels of silver!" After killing three Japanese pirates like chopping melons and vegetables, Wang Shun was still chanting.

In his opinion, these Japanese pirates can no longer be counted as human beings, but silver coins that can talk and move.

"Please forgive me, I still have an old mother who needs to be supported! This is my first time here! Please forgive me..." A young man in coarse linen couldn't escape. After falling, he quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Shun to beg for mercy, hoping to recover his life.

And the only one who responded to him was the Yanling Saber in Wang Shun's hand.

The young man only felt a chill on his neck, as if something had fallen to the ground in the dark, the world he saw was no longer the soil on the ground, but turned sideways, just when the young man was about to open his mouth to say something Suddenly, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he fell into endless darkness.

"Four taels of silver!"

Wang Shun took the Yanling knife back, looked at the headless corpse on the ground, and said silently.

And soon, the Ming army behind them also outflanked the Japanese pirates who had been defeated one by one, and killed them all!Looking around, there were corpses everywhere, and there was a lingering smell of blood in the air.

At this time, the battle has come to an end, the Ming army is cleaning up the scene, and will make up for the Japanese pirates who are not completely dead one by one.

……

Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers were cleaning the scene, Qi Jiguang came to Hu Zongxian to report.

"Report to the governor, about [-] Japanese pirates from before, all of them have been wiped out by our army! And the casualties of our army are less than ten."

"Oh, how did it go so smoothly?"

After hearing Qi Jiguang's report, Hu Zongxian was also very surprised and asked.

"Report to the governor, after the group of Japanese pirates fought with our army, they were defeated after only one encounter! Then during the pursuit of our army, several soldiers didn't pay attention to the road under their feet, and knocked their heads on the stone. was seriously injured."

"Oh, I understand, you go down! Send an order to let the soldiers speed up the cleaning of the battlefield, pile up the corpses, and burn them directly."

"Yes, my lord governor, the general will obey!"

……

Soon, Wang Zhi also learned the fact that the front line was defeated from Mao Haifeng.

"Who told you to take the initiative to attack? Didn't I say earlier that you should rely on the favorable terrain on the island to defend?"

"That's more than 600 people! Even if it's 600 pigs, if you put them there for the Ming army to catch, they won't be able to catch them all in a while! But you are better off. With [-] men, the entire army was wiped out."

After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he looked up and down at his capable subordinate with a look that was about to choose someone to devour.

"Lord Wang Zhi, this subordinate is guilty! This subordinate thought that the Ming army that came this time was still the same as usual, vulnerable, so I took the risk..."

Seeing this, Mao Haifeng didn't dare to make further excuses, but silently lowered his head.

"Okay, who is leading this army, have you found out the news?"

Wang Zhiqiang suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to ask Mao Haifeng.

"Lord Wang Zhi, this army seems to be led by Hu Zongxian, Governor of Zhejiang Province."

"What, Hu Zongxian!"
