"5000 people?" Wan Daquan looked around the generals in the hall in surprise and asked, "What are they doing? Only you and General Yu are going to Hangzhou City?"

At this time, Hu Zongxian was also angry, not only angry with the generals under his tent, but also angry with Wan Daquan, so he said coldly:

"Didn't you say that your lord doesn't take the Japanese pirates seriously at all? Didn't you say that the Japanese pirates are just mobs? Isn't my commander 5000 enough to defeat the Japanese pirates?"

"If you just want to defeat the Japanese pirates, then you don't need to send troops from Lord Butang. My lord is enough." Wan Daquan rolled his eyes and said:

"Didn't my lord want to wipe out those 5000 Japanese pirates? At that time, tens of thousands of Japanese pirates will be defeated, and your [-] people may not be able to kill so many Japanese pirates!"

Hu Zongxian was so angry that he almost felt internal injuries. He felt that 5000 people like me went to hunt down the defeated Japanese pirates, and there was no need to fight tough battles with the Japanese pirates.Your adults are so awesome?Immediately, impatient with Wan Daquan's long-winded words, he waved his hands and said:
"Just report it like this when you go back."

"Okay, then I'll go back and talk straight." Wan Daquan gave a salute, turned around and left.When he reached the door, he turned back and said:
"Master Butang, my lord has said that if Lord Butang decides to send troops, he must be careful of Japanese pirates encircling for help."

"Got it!" Hu Zongxian's face sank like water.

"The villain will take his leave."

Hangzhou City.

Wan Daquan sneaked into the Japanese pirates' camp again, and then took advantage of the night to get under the city wall, sat on a hanging basket, and was pulled to the top of the city wall.

City ship division.

Two halls.

Wan Daquan stood in front of Luo Xin, Song Danian, Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing, and told in detail what he saw at Hu Zongxian's place.Luo Xin frowned, with a puzzled expression in his eyes, he said:
"Why is this happening? Hu Zongxian, as the governor of Southeast China, can't he do what he wants to do?"

Embarrassment appeared on the faces of Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing, and Song Danian beside him sighed and said:

"No, you don't know about the southeast yet. The southeast is different from the north."

"What is the difference?"

"Alas..." Song Danian sighed again: "The southeast soldiers are divided into two systems, one is the state soldiers, and the other is the government soldiers from various places. The combat effectiveness of the state soldiers is still good, and even when they meet the real Japanese, they can fight well. force.

but……"

Speaking of this, Song Danian's face was full of bitterness and said: "The state soldiers in the southeast have a very bad habit. This habit has been cultivated in their bones and spread to the whole southeast, forming a kind of atmosphere. It is they who don't know the enemy's situation. Under the circumstances, they will not send troops. If they want them to send troops, even Hu Butang has to hold a meeting with them to discuss the enemy's situation clearly. If those state soldiers think that this battle can be fought, they will send troops. If they can't because they can't Fight, even if Hu Zongxian gave the order to die, they would not send troops."

A sneer appeared on Luo Xin's face, "Then under what circumstances would they be willing to send troops?"

"When the enemy is outnumbered, we can send troops."

Luo Xin was stunned and said: "Then under what circumstances will you not send troops?"

"The rest of the situation will not send troops!"

"Do not send troops for the rest of the situation?" Luo Xin was dumbfounded.

"And..." Song Danian said with a bitter look on his face, "Not only that, even if the enemy is outnumbered, there are some situations where they won't send troops."

Luo Xin was even more puzzled when he heard this, and asked perplexedly, "Since the enemy is already outnumbered, why haven't you sent troops yet?"

"If you meet Wang Zhi, Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang, you will not send troops."

Luo Xin still didn't believe it, and looked at Qi Jiguang and Luo Xin. Both Qi Jiguang and Luo Xin nodded silently. Luo Xin slapped the table, frowned and said:

"Could it be the same for you two?"

"No!" Song Danian said again, "There are only three armies in the southeast. Two of them are the armies of General Qi and General Luo, and the other is General Yu Dayou who is about to come to Hangzhou."

Luo Xin frowned and said, "Can't we force them to send troops? Or don't tell them who the pirates are?"

"No!" Song Danian shook his head and said, "If they are forced to send troops, or deceive them to send troops, when they encounter Japanese pirates, those state soldiers will flee immediately without speaking to the general."

A sneer appeared on Luo Xin's face and he said: "I think Hu Butang is still not cruel enough. Kill more state soldiers and generals like this, I don't believe it will happen again."

Song Danian shook his head and said: "At the beginning, Hu Butang also did the same thing, but he encountered a bigger backlash from the state soldiers, so he didn't stop Hu Butang's orders at all."

"Hmph!" Luo Xin snorted coldly and said, "Then kill them until they stop. I don't believe that killing one-tenth of those state soldiers can't be banned? If one-tenth is not enough, then kill five." One part, one third, kill half of him."

Song Danian's face was pale, he recalled Luo Xin's several killings in Hangzhou City, and felt the murderous aura on Luo Xin again.I secretly said in my heart:
"If Luo Xin really became the governor of the southeast, maybe he can really do something like kill half of the soldiers in the southeast state. Not to mention, if Luo Xin really opened up the killing ring like this, he would really be able to do it. .”

However, he still shook his head and said: "No, if you really do this, the influence on the court may be great. Those people in the court will impeach Hu Butang to the point of being unable to continue."

"Those people in the court are bullshit!"

Thinking of Xu Jie and the others impeaching him at every turn, Luo Xin became angry and couldn't help but swear.But I also knew in my heart that even if I became the governor of the southeast, it would be impossible to kill so many people. This southeast is really full of stubborn diseases.

"What about the government soldiers?"

"Fu Bing?" Song Danian shook his head and said: "Fu Bing is honest, they send troops as soon as they are asked, but their combat effectiveness is too poor, and they are too afraid of death.

Running behind the Japanese pirates, they are talking about these soldiers.Their fighting method is that when the pirates come, they run away.Waiting for the Japanese pirates to withdraw, they will follow behind the Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates stop halfway through the retreat, they will stop too.If the Japanese pirates stop for a day, they will also stop for a day. If someone suddenly approaches them, they will run away immediately. "

"This..." Luo Xin was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"Little brother, what should we do now?" Luo Xin looked at Luo Dao.

"What should we do?" Luo Xin waved his hands angrily and said, "Let them encircle and suppress a rout, but they dare not. It's because Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang are here. The southeast is full of old soldiers. This pirate will never be killed."

After being silent for a while, Luo Xin said with a gloomy face, "How many cavalry does Yu Dayou have?"

Qi Jiguang said: "Yu Dayou is a direct descendant of Hu Butang, and there are 5000 cavalry among the [-] men."

Luo Xin nodded, suddenly stunned. In history, at this time, Hu Zongxian wanted to fight for the powerful army under Yu Dayou, and Yu Dayou refused to accept Hu Zongxian, so he was killed by Hu Zongxian a long time ago.Now Yu Dayou is alive and well, and has a good relationship with Hu Zongxian. It seems that his appearance has changed the course of history.

"Daquan!" Luo Xin looked at Wan Daquan and said, "Go to Hu Butang and tell him that the [-] infantrymen are staying on the outskirts, and when the Japanese pirates are defeated, they will go after the small group. The Japanese pirates are fine. Otherwise, the defeated large group of Japanese pirates will be trampled to death without being beaten. Let Hu Zongxian's two thousand cavalry chase and kill the large group of Japanese pirates."

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

"Brother Yuan Jing, brother, prepare your thousand cavalry as well, let those infantry chase and kill the small group of Japanese pirates, our thousand cavalry..."

Luo Xin paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and looked at Wan Daquan who was still standing there:

"Daquan, I have a new mission for you this time. After you sneak into the Japanese pirate camp, you will find out where Xu Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang live. When the time comes, you will lead us to head straight to Xu Hai. The camp of Ye Ma and Xin Wulang killed these three people, and the remaining Japanese pirates were leaderless. At that time, presumably those state soldiers and government soldiers would chase and kill those Japanese pirates with red eyes. It just took a little longer.”

"Yes, Lord Hou."

this day.

Wan Daquan hadn't come back yet, but he saw Lu Ding and other five masters coming. It turned out that the Japanese pirates really did not know how to contact the insiders hidden in Hangzhou City. These insiders found the five masters respectively. After everyone stabilized these people, they immediately ran to Luo Xin.

Hearing this, Luo Xin showed satisfaction on his face.As long as the five masters are loyal to him, Luo Xin doesn't care about those insiders of the Japanese pirates.Then he said to the five great masters:

"You stabilize those insiders, and then send someone to watch them. After three days, arrest them all, and leave this matter to your five families, how about it?"

Lu Ding and the others knew that this was a nomination certificate, so they immediately nodded in agreement and walked away proudly.

midnight.

Wan Daquan led 100 people from the top of the city to the base of the city in hanging baskets, sneaked to the front of the Japanese pirates' camp, touched the Japanese pirates' sentry posts, and then Wan Daquan lit a torch and circled in the air three times.

The city gate of Hangzhou was quietly opened, and Luo Xin left a thousand infantry guards in the city, and led the cavalry in person to quietly leave the city, followed by Qi Jiguang and Luo Qing, and another thousand cavalry.Behind the cavalry came four thousand infantry.Every cavalry led their horses and quietly walked out of the city.The hooves of the horses are all wrapped with felt cloth, the horses' mouths contain fruit cores, and the horses' ears are stuffed with cotton gauze.

It was pitch black all around, and these five thousand people quietly approached the Japanese pirate camp.Wan Quanquan's 100 people also took over the horses. At this time, Luo Xin lit the fire folder and held it up high. The cavalry who saw the light spot immediately turned on their horses neatly, and then [-] cavalry charged. Holding a fire bag in one hand and a thunderbolt in the other.

The remaining [-] infantry quietly lined up in a horizontal row in front of the Japanese pirate camp, facing the Japanese pirate camp, holding a fire bag in their left hand and a thunderbolt in their right hand, and then looked back at Luo Xin who was on the horse. The fire pocket was turned around in the air, and the four thousand infantrymen immediately opened the fire pocket, lit the thunderbolt, and raised their hands to throw the thunderbolt towards the Japanese pirate camp.

Four thousand sparks flew towards the Japanese pirate camp like a meteor shower, and then there was a deafening roar in the silent night.

Crossing the camp from Luo Xin's side, five miles ahead, 5000 horses and horses stood quietly, of which 2000 were cavalry, exactly the 5000 men of Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou.At this time, they were standing in the night wind. Hu Zongxian and Yu Dayou were fully clothed, riding on horses, standing at the forefront of the team.Yu Dayou looked at the dark front and asked in a low voice with an uncertain expression:
"My lord, it's already the appointed time, and there is still no movement. The general really doesn't understand how Luo Xin can defeat tens of thousands of Japanese pirates with just a few thousand of his people?"

Hu Zongxian also frowned and said: "I don't know, and it was not mentioned in Buqi's letter. We will wait here overnight. If nothing happens tonight, we will evacuate at dawn."

"I think Master Luo may not be able to defeat the Japanese pirates, and I may not be correct in predicting that the Japanese pirates want to be the king of the southeast. Just as he predicted that the Japanese pirates would surround the spot to help, but didn't we encounter it?"

"This doesn't prove anything." Hu Zongxian said in a low voice, "I was just reminded by the wrong weapon, so we left quietly at midnight this time, and then marched here to hide, so the Japanese pirates didn't even know we were coming. We didn’t take action to encircle the spot to fight for aid. If we hadn’t been reminded by the siege and came to Hangzhou openly, we might have been ambushed by the Japanese pirates. Therefore, we didn’t encounter the siege to fight for aid. The prediction was wrong."

"Anyway..." Yu Dayou glanced at the dark front again and said, "I don't believe that Luo Xin can completely collapse tens of thousands of Japanese pirates with his thousands of people. Hai, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang's direct line..."

"boom……"

Yu Dayou's voice was still that of Luo Xin, and he heard a series of thunder-like roars from five miles away. Although the distance was five miles away, the war horses under their crotches were disturbed.

Hu Zongxian raised his eyebrows suddenly and said: "I know! It's not that he was using Thunderbolt bullets. At the beginning, he used Thunderbolt bullets to defeat the 20 Mongolian Tartar army. What's more, there are only tens of thousands of Japanese pirates? It's no wonder that Qi has always looked down on Japanese pirates. , saying that they are a mob. We have settled for this great achievement and are ready to fight."

"Boom boom boom..."

The Japanese pirate camp was full of flames, and Luo Xin's four thousand infantry were lined up along the Japanese pirate camp, so the range covered by those thunderbolts was quite wide, and the Japanese pirates were awakened from their sleep immediately, and became a mess .Fortunately, the Japanese pirates are different from the Mongolian Tartars. Most of the Japanese pirates are infantry, and there are not many horses.Otherwise, even if those war horses are frightened, they will destroy the entire camp.

However, even so, those Japanese pirates were like headless flies, completely flustered.At the moment when the last roar ended, Luo Xin immediately shouted:
"rush!"
