92 One-sided battle
"My official is Hu Zongxian, governor of Zhejiang Province and governor of Zhejiang Province. The imperial court appointed me as the commander-in-chief of this campaign to suppress the Japanese!"

Hu Zongxian looked at the solemn-looking soldiers in the audience, and said loudly.

"A few days ago, my officer received a battle report that the Japanese pirates who had been exterminated before had revived in the neighboring province of Fujian! Not only that, they also occupied a total of more than 1000 kilometers of land from Funing to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. Right now, the people there are ravaged by Japanese pirates, and we have an obligation to save them from suffering!"

"There is no need to hand over the gains captured this time, the soldiers can keep them for themselves!"

"set off!"

"Yes!"

And long before departure, Hu Zongxian also told everyone the truth about the suppression of the Japanese. This time the army went out not only to suppress the Japanese, but also to clean up all the gentry along the coast who hid their population and annexed their land. .

Immediately afterwards, there was an endless booming sound on the official road. This was the sound of countless soldiers and horses trampling on the ground. More than [-] well-equipped and armored Ming troops were divided into three armies and marched towards the neighbors. Advance to Fujian Province.

……

During the Hongwu period, the imperial court set up the Fujian Chief Envoy, stationed in Fuzhou Prefecture, under the jurisdiction of ten prefectures, two Zhili prefectures and 69 counties.

And the army that Wang Shun is in is the Chinese army, and it is also commanded by Hu Zongxian himself. The general under his command is Qi Jiguang. Their mission is to start from Shouning County and march all the way east. Occupied Zhangzhou Prefecture.

Since the army entered Fujian Province, it has encountered no resistance along the way. Apart from encountering a small group of Japanese pirates, it has never encountered other enemies.

"Report, there are a large number of Japanese pirates ahead!" Just as the troops were marching to the outskirts of Shouning County, the scouts in charge of the investigation rushed back and reported.

The part where Wang Shun and the others are located is the former army of the team, mainly responsible for detecting the enemy's situation and fighting.

Wang Shun frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Blow the horn to warn!"

'Woo--' the dull horn sounded.

Obviously, most of this army is composed of veterans who have experienced many battles. When they heard the sound of the horn, they realized that there was an enemy in front of them.

"Order the whole army to form an army formation and prepare for battle against the enemy!" Hu Zongxian rode on the horse and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The generals around him took the order and passed on the orders one by one.

Soon, the entire army had formed a tight formation, advancing towards the enemy step by step. Countless horseshoes stomped on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

When the army gradually approached the enemy, there was a sound of shouting and killing.

"Kill, rush!"

Chief Wang Shun was at the forefront of this army, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw hundreds of "enemy troops" rushing towards him.

This is not so much an enemy army as it is a group of "beggars". They are ragged, yellow and thin, and look malnourished. They are holding homemade wooden guns, spears, and some even holding kitchen knives. They charged at the Ming army. Come!Moreover, this place is still a plain terrain.Among this group of people, the best equipped one only held a rusty machete, and no one was wearing armor.

Pulling Zong Wangshun out of the Yanling Saber, he said in a deep voice, "Raise the gun!"

After the soldiers behind loaded the gunpowder, they raised the firecrackers in unison, but they didn't shoot immediately, they were waiting, waiting for the enemy to rush to the maximum killing distance.

100 meters, 90 meters, 80 meters, 30 meters!At this moment, Wang Shun swung the Yanling knife in his hand to the back, and said in a deep voice, "Let it go!"

'Bang bang bang! 'The blunderbuss sounded, a puff of smoke dispersed, and a strong smell of gunpowder filled the air, which lingered for a long time.

Most of the Japanese pirates who rushed towards the formation of the Ming army were killed or injured in just one encounter, and the rest of them lost the courage to continue to charge and fled in all directions.

"Keep the formation, follow me to kill!" Wang Shun waved the Yanling Saber in his hand, slapped his horse, and chased after the scattered Japanese pirates.

The horse's hoof trampled on the chest of a Japanese pirate who was not completely dead, denting his chest, and his groan was also stuck in his throat, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood, and died completely.

And those Japanese pirates who were scattered were also caught up by the Ming army and beheaded one by one, leaving no survivors in the whole process.

Soon, the follow-up large troops also arrived, joined the former army, and formed an army formation.

"Kill, avenge the brothers! Everyone rush to me!"

"Kill these Ming troops, reward 1000 taels of silver!"

Immediately, more and more Japanese pirates charged towards the Ming army. The Japanese pirates who appeared this time were obviously much better equipped than last time, and the weapons in their hands were no longer wooden spears, spears, and kitchen knives. Most of them are equipped with long knives and other weapons, and there are even a few Japanese pirates in armor.

It's just that the commanders of this group of Japanese pirates didn't understand the art of war, and they didn't let their men form a tight formation to charge towards the Ming army. Instead, they rushed towards the Ming army in a scattered and disorderly formation. , No matter how large the number is, it cannot endanger the Ming army.

"Raise the blunderbuss, and those who release the blunderbuss without orders will be killed without pardon!" Wang Shun, looking at the Japanese pirates rushing towards him, commanded in a deep voice.

After receiving Wang Shun's order, the soldiers behind them loaded the gunpowder as quickly as possible and raised the gunpowder.

The difference this time was that facing the Japanese pirates rushing towards him like locusts all over the mountains and plains, even though they had experienced many battles, they couldn't help feeling a little nervous in their hearts.

"One hundred steps, eighty steps, forty steps..." Wang Shun stared at the pirates rushing towards him, but he kept calculating the distance in his heart.

"Twenty steps, let go!" Wang Shun swung the Yanling Saber violently, and said in a deep voice.

Just listen to 'bang bang bang! 'The voice came, and countless iron sands shot out from the muzzle!Most of the Japanese pirates who had already charged in front of the Ming army fell down in an instant.

"Follow me to kill!" Wang Shun immediately patted his horse, and charged forward in the lead.

Hearing a sound of "Puff!", Wang Shun stabbed the enemy in front of him. When he pulled out the Yanling Saber from his body, the splashed blood splashed all over his face, and he wiped his face with his hand. Put it, and then participated in the fight again!Behind him, more and more Ming troops also participated in the fight.

These Ming soldiers were uniformly dressed in black armor. Seen from mid-air, it was a black torrent intertwined with the Japanese pirates.

……

The setting sun was like blood, and the fierce battle gradually came to an end, and finally ended with the victory of the Ming army.

There were corpses everywhere on the battlefield, but most of them belonged to Japanese pirates, and a disgusting smell of blood filled the air.

"My lord, all these Japanese pirates have been wiped out by our army! According to reports from the soldiers cleaning the battlefield, our army has wiped out at least two thousand Japanese pirates in this battle, and the casualties of our army are less than 100!" Immediately Hu Zongxian reported.

"Well, register those dead soldiers in the roster so that they can be buried!" After hearing Qi Jiguang's report, Hu Zongxian sighed and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, at the end of the day, I will order this matter." After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he immediately called his own soldiers and ordered this matter.

"Is Shouning County ahead?" Hu Zongxian turned around and asked Qi Jiguang.

"My lord governor, Shouning County is ahead!" Qi Jiguang responded after reading the map.

"Order the whole army to enter Shouning County after the corpses are collected!"

"Yes!"
