Chapter 257

The southern city wall is relatively short, but the Japanese pirates came across the sea without a large number of siege equipment. The first round of attack was violently counterattacked by the Ming Army, and the dead bodies piled up and retreated temporarily.

Liang Xinghua couldn’t take care of his meals. He hurriedly toured the four cities and saw that the Japanese soldiers were concentrated in the east city. Then he adjusted all the main forces in the city to the east city for defense. The remaining three cities were strictly guarded. .

At dawn, Liang Xinghua discovered that the Japanese pirates had entered the house near the city wall and brutally slaughtered the people. In addition to commanding the soldiers to shoot arrows, he tried to kill and hinder the Japanese pirates in the city, but the Japanese pirates were strong and there was no reason to rescue the city. Liang Xinghua could only Seeing the people being murdered and humiliated, he discovered that the Japanese pirates had the intention to connect with the residential wall near the city wall and set up an escalator to the city. They immediately summoned the officers and soldiers to launch rockets, and burned the residential area voluntarily.

The Japanese have always been guerrillas and rarely attacked the big cities and the narrow pass, but despite their siege and defense, this Japanese army always refused to retreat. In the afternoon, the Japanese made a large number of siege cloud ladders and several Lv buses from the demolished residential houses, and launched another attack.

Liang Xinghua was commanding the counterattack in the city head, and suddenly heard the police from Nancheng. Liang Xinghua hurriedly handed over Dongcheng defense to his deputy general He Wen. He himself led five hundred soldiers to rush to Nancheng, boarded the Nancheng city wall, and saw that there were five outside the city under the moat Six hundred Japanese pirates clamored, and a mile and mile outside was a grove of forests.

Shoucheng Pi said Mao Wenjun nervously: “Senior Guardian, the Japanese seem to be logging in the forest. I think they are no fewer than two thousand. I fear the lack of officers and soldiers in the Shoucheng City, so I urgently notify the adults.”

Liang Xinghua watched carefully for a while and sneered: “This must be a plan for suspicious soldiers. Bluffs make me divide troops and reduce my defense in the East City. Don’t panic. Although you are at ease with the city, there are no major enemy troops attacking the city. You don’t have to sound the alarm, East City. The war is in danger, and the officer can’t rest assured, so he has to rush back immediately. “

Mao Wenjun was timid and hesitantly said: “The art of war is clouded. The truth is false, and the truth is true. The Japanese are very cunning. What if the delay in attacking is to deliberately let down our military mind?”

Mao Wenjun said he also hesitated when he said that Liang Xinghua gritted his teeth and hated: “Persevere, it will be better when the Suzhou reinforcements arrive. I will leave 300 people for you. Be careful.”

Liang Xinghua left another three hundred soldiers and soldiers to Nancheng. When he rushed back to Dongcheng, a new round of attack by the Japanese pirates was over. A dead body was left under the city walls. Want to fall Shoucheng Pi will be directing the Min Zhuang and the temporarily recruited young labor to block the stone and mud under the gate. Press the struts to strengthen.

Liang Xinghua climbed up the city wall and supported the dish of the pheasant wall to look out. The pirates outside the city temporarily retreated, and the pirate detours disappeared. Has nowhere to go. The Japanese pirates had reduced their troops. It seemed that there were less than two thousand Japanese pirates outside the East City. It was hard to predict where the main force of the Japanese would be moved. At this time, there was a warning from North City.

As a result, the four cities had warning signs, and the defenders in the cities would be exhausted. By nightfall, the defenders were already lacking in horses. In this way, the defenders would not be able to support the dawn at all. The defenders and the people in the city were all worried and looked forward to Suzhou reinforcements.

The moon gradually rises, and the moon in Jiangnan is like a charming woman, and the cloud is like a shady gauze. Yuehua is like water. Clearly shining on the earth. In the grasses and ditches under the walls of the four cities, frogs and insects were quiet. It is not affected by the torches of Beicheng and Dongcheng as bright as the day and screaming and shaking.

At this time, the Japanese had evacuated the suspects of Xicheng in order to concentrate their forces to attack the low-lying Dongcheng. Under the moonlight, several figures quietly ran to the city. The defenders in the city did not dare to carelessly pick up bows and arrows and shouted loudly: ! People from all over the city report their surnames! “

A trembling voice shouted upwards: “He … fuck, what are you shouting, be careful to bring the pirates”.

Shoucheng Pi will hear the news and hurried up the city wall from the tower, asking urgently: “Who is under the city?”

A local accent from Wujiang County shouted: “Sir, we have sent the military sentiment to Suzhou, and the Governor General has sent a large army to help.”

Another person scolded: “Shut up and let Liu Jia sum up with Master Li.”

Shoucheng Pi will be called Li Bin. Hearing that his surname was called by the people under the city, he also mentioned Liu Baozong, but he couldn’t help saying: “Liu Li? Did you pass the letter to you?”

Someone under the city replied: “Yes, Master Li, open the city quickly, I have the Governor’s Secret Secretary’s letter to the Lord of Defense”.

Li Bin and Liu Xi are familiar with each other, and it is indeed his accent when he hears that he is looking forward to the reinforcements and hopes in the city. Where can he think more? What’s more, there are 700 defenders in the city, but no more than eight people in the city. He hurriedly ordered: “Open the city gate and let Liu put in.”

The defending sergeant who heard about the Governor’s army rushed down the city wall happily, removed the thick supporting log, slowly pulled the gate open, and the probe whispered: “Come in faster.”

A silhouette is like an ape, and a sudden wind sound leaps up, the sharp blade of the lightning splits like a lightning, a skull rolls down to the ground, and the face of the man is sprayed with blood.

The man was extremely fierce, reaching for his face, wiping away the blood that was covering his eyes, twisting his body and breaking into the city, the five-foot long sword danced, the white mans everywhere in the square, the unexpected officers and soldiers screamed again and again, one after another Falling to the ground, the remaining officers and soldiers shouted, turned and fled.

Outside the city gate, several Japanese pirates rushed into the city gate with the Zhu Zhu’s spear of Zhang Er, opened the city gate wide, and while the night had quietly covered up in the nearby grass, the Japanese pirates rose and shouted to kill the city.

Liu Li stood on the side of the road, looking at the Japanese pirates who rushed into the city, and said to the Japanese pirates side by side: “Brother Fang, in our village, you said that if you open the city gate, you will spare my life, I … I Can I go now? “

The Japanese pirate with a knife smiled and said: “Of course, I said that spare your life, naturally I will not eat words.”

Liu Fei listened to the widening of his heart, his personal life was preserved, and the only trace of shame in his heart was lost by selfishness and greed. He immediately gratefully said to the pirate: “Thank you Brother Fang, the younger brother left. , He meets every day. I would like to invite my elder brother to drink again. “

Before the words fell, a sharp sword edge emerged from his chest, and Liu Xi’s eyes bulged out, staring at the blurry smile in front of him in amazement. Fang surnamed Fang Kou smiled and said: “I said to spare you, not to say that others will also spare you, this wine, you drink it yourself on Huangquan Road”, said he rushed into the city with a knife laughing.

Liu Xi’s face was full of pain and regret. There were cries and blazes of fire in the city, and all this had become so far away for him. The corpse collapsed softly on the side of the road, and the gauzy moonlight gently covered his ugly and sinister corpse.

Wu Jiangcheng, lost …

Waiting for the month under the West Chamber, half-open. Flicking the wall and moving the flowers, it is suspected that the jade came.

Follow the gravel path. Under the shade of flowers, Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun sat across from each other, the moonlight was bright and clean, and the light and graceful jade plain face Tsing Yi, the gesture of sipping and tasting was extremely exhilarating, especially after the drunken face with a touch of red. Even under the moon, it does not diminish the attractive beauty.

Yang Ling sighed softly, put down the ivory chopsticks and stroked his knees, saying, “I haven’t had this kind of mood and mood for a long time. Alas, imagine the roughness of the Northwest Army, the sturdiness of the Northeast Army, and even the southwest soldiers in the poor mountains and bad water The arrogance is fierce. Whichever army is put in Jiangnan, is a tiger and wolf soldier, which round gets a small pirate to mess up? I want to break my head and I ca n’t think that the Jiangnan soldiers are like a group of sheep, sad and sad. No dispute! Nothing more. “

“Sorry for his misfortune, but not for his anger?” Cheng Qiyun’s eyes were different, and he readily said: “Adult’s words are so sharp and brilliant, this phrase is so wonderful!”

Yang Ling was taken aback. He always thought … This is an idiom. It turned out that the learned scholar Rudai Louer never heard the word.

Cheng Qiyun said: “This is indeed a true portrayal of those defeated soldiers, but Jiangnan soldiers were originally in Jiangnan’s wealthy land, without the hardships to temper, coupled with Tuntian being swallowed by generals, hereditary army deserters are increasing, With low morale and abolition of armaments, in every battle, everyone thinks of how to escape. Even if such soldiers have hundreds of enemies, where can they talk about their combat power?

Now only the soldiers are dispatched first. In the war, with serious military discipline, rewards and punishments, and clear military achievements, the Jiangnan Guard ’s officers and soldiers were brought up. This group of sheep is a tiger wolf, and the weak is their ground. As long as they restore morale and courage, they are a powerful place. army”.

Yang Ling nodded thoughtfully and said in a deep voice: “It is too late for the restructuring of the army. It is too late for me to reorganize the military and strengthen the military’s combat strength. When the war subsides, we must find the cause from the roots. The reluctance to be a soldier and the forced recruitment of soldiers is based on military discipline. It is not a long-term plan to suppress the soldiers. The method of recruiting soldiers by the border troops is very good.

Nowadays, the craftsmen have been replaced by silver. The craftsmen make their own living, increase their income, and they are all happy. At the same time, the industry and commerce were active, the court increased taxes, and the burden of supporting people was reduced. The benefits are very obvious. Although the abolition of the rigid military system has increased in military expenditure, once the sea is opened, the movement of people is imperative. At that time, the royal tax will also increase significantly, and there should be no difficulty. “

As he said, he gently tapped his knees to calculate. Cheng Qiyun smiled and said, “Sir, I’m not easy to relax for a while, and I’m thinking about public affairs. These things have to wait for the war to subside before they can be gradually implemented. If I’m in a hurry, I don’t think too much now. Use, adults and relax, and wait until the reinforcements arrive, let ’s solve the Jiangnan bandit first. “

Yang Ling said with a smile: “Yes, this officer also has a headache, well, tonight we will only talk about Fengyue, regardless of military.”

Cheng Qiyun smiled shallowly, holding the cup and saying, “Hold the cup to persuade the horizon and the moon, and hope that the full moon is intact. Hold the cup to persuade the flower branch, and hope that the flower branch grows, Mo Lipo. Hold the cup and drunk before the flower, ask How many people are aware of this event? When do you not drink wine every time? “

Yang Ling laughed and said, “A good pair of wine and flowers, uh …”.

Although the moonlight is hazy, lonely and handsome, the atmosphere is warm and ambiguous, and it is easy to relax after drinking, Yang Ling does not dare to say frivolous words after all, but there is a bundle of dry fire in front of him. How could Yang Ling not know?

He smiled and said: “Come, you and I drink together”, the jade cup touched lightly, two cups of sake entered the abdomen, Yang Ling picked up a chopped vegetable, took advantage of the cheeks and teeth, and taste slowly.

Cheng Qiyun smiled and said: “Whenever drinking, the best season is spring suburbs, flowering time, clear autumn, fresh green, snow, crescent, late evening; the best place is before the flower, under the moon, bamboo forest, high pavilion, painting boat, Youguan, Qudong, Heting; this figure is elegant, heroic, frank, confidant, old friends, jade, Kerr. The adults are too hard these days, if you feel comfortable, you can relax tonight. “.

Yang Lingjia said: “There are so many learnings about drinking? Spring time, the moon before the flower, and the already known jade people, everything is in line, it is time to drink a few more glasses. You are too tired these days, my wine is light, if you Like. Although drink a few more glasses. “

Cheng Qiyun listened to him saying that he knew the jade, and he was so happy that he couldn’t help smiling at him, and then he took the cup and lipped.

The evening wind blew, and a few strands of green silk gently scraped her like a jade cheek. The lower lip is wine, and the side of the face shows the ears that are as warm and white as the hook jade, and the scenery is infinite for a while.

Yang Ling’s eyes blurred for a moment, he just raised his glass. In the distance, Wu Hanchao’s voice hurriedly came: “Adult, Wu Jiangcheng is out of control. Thousands of Japanese pirates have entered the city. They are burning, looting, and strengthening the city defense. Master Bai and Min are waiting in the front hall. See you now! “

Yang Ling was taken aback, looking at Japanese pirates in six provinces. There are very few places where more than 3,000 people gather together. On the one hand, there are many Japanese pirate factions. Secondly, there are several large Japanese pirate forces for supply considerations. They are also divided into forces. The gathering of thousands of people to attack the city has only been three or two cases. How dare this Japanese pirate attack Suzhou at the foot of the heavy soldiers?

Yang Ling immediately got up and rushed to the front hall, Wu Hanchao arched his hand to Cheng Qiyun, and then followed.

Cheng Qiyun sat for a while. Fill the pot with a glass. Toasting towards the moon, you said: “Sword qi shoots into the sky. The drum sound vibrates the original scorpion. The yellow dust jams the road, and the horse is chasing the soldiers urgently. The bow goes from now on, and the flying arrows gather like rain. Thousand levels! “

Yang Ling was really angry. The governors of the bandits in the six provinces were stationed in the town of Suzhou, and the Japanese pirates even gathered thousands of people to use their troops near Suzhou City. This is provocation and contempt. If this Japanese pirate is allowed to burn and loot, it will grow away. The reputation of the Governor ’s Mansion will plummet, and the morale of the six depressed provinces will be even weaker. Even Beijing and China will no longer tolerate this kind of war situation.

Yang Ling Tieqing’s face made Bai Chongzan rate 15,000 people to defend the city. He brought 23,000 troops to support Wujiang City. At the same time, he ordered the officers and soldiers of the nearby health center to surround Wujiang City.

Seeing the anger of the Governor ’s Military Mission Minister, Bai Zhongzan and others were stunned, no one dared to object anymore, and immediately ordered to engage. When Cheng Qiyun heard that Yang Ling personally led the army to rescue him, Yang Ling ’s The army has left the city.

Yang Ling knew that Wu Jiangcheng had fallen. If the Japanese pirates were defending the city, 20,000 troops might not be able to enter the city, so they brought eight blasting cannons with the team and dedicated the siege. The army was vigorously walking out of the night for more than ten miles. Yang Ling’s excitement gradually calmed down. He rode on the horse to meditate for a moment, suddenly strangling Ma Rein, and shouted, “Stop moving!”

The trumpet blew, three long and one short, and the herding soldiers responded everywhere. The army stood on the spot. Min Wenjian carried a large sword from the outpost and screamed: “Master, why don’t you go?”

Yang Ling glanced at him coldly and asked, “Master Min, can the Japanese pirates have a precedent of occupying the city and defending it by the city?”

Min Wenjian said, “Wow, if the Japanese robbed a large amount of property too late to be transported out of the sea, they would usually occupy a small town along the coast to intercept our army, cover the same party to send the property away, and then break out of the sea. They were chased inland. When there is no way to go, he will also raid and occupy a city to take a breather, but usually we will cross the city and continue to escape before our army joins. “

Yang Ling smiled coldly and said, “Wu Jiangcheng is not a small town near the sea. They just plundered. Why did they make a firm gesture according to the city? They suddenly attacked, and they could escape before we were shocked. There are no soldiers or horses to stop them now. Thousands of Japanese pirates can come and go calmly, why should they retreat into the city to allow us to deploy soldiers together? “

Min Wenjian said: “What is the meaning of the adult?”

Yang Ling rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth with a sneer: “Xiangzhuang Wujian, intended for Pei Gong! This group of Japanese has a great appetite. They want to take Suzhou City, and Wu Jiang is just a guise.”

Suddenly realized, Min Wenjian said, “It turned out to be … is that the tiger is away from the mountain? His motherland, shall we rush back to Suzhou immediately?”

Yang Ling shook his head. Yang Tian thought for a while: “There are 15,000 soldiers and horses in the city of Suzhou. Even if the Japanese mobilized us to kill and enter the city, they would have to struggle with the defenders in the city. Dumplings, they took Wu Jiang with all their pains, they must eat us first, and then … “.

Yang Ling is here. Suddenly his heart moved, suddenly said: “The gesture of keeping them close to the city is not only to bring me close, but also for …” He suddenly turned his head to the Chinese military road: “After a quick transmission, he launched a heavy army and introduced eight artillery Chinese Army. Disguise the siege cloud ladder and chariot as artillery, with an explosive barrel in the middle, go! “

The Chinese army led the order and hurried towards the rear. Yang Ling summoned General Hong Peng and asked: “You are a local, I will ask you, what is the danger of going all the way to Wujiang?

Hong Peng thought for a while and said: “Here I went all the way to Wujiang, but when passing by Shiwazhai, there was a piece of mud on the left side of the road, about a few acres of reeds, and a gentle **** on the right side. Dwarf tea trees, if you want to hide people, only this place along the way is suitable for ambushing thousands of people. “

Yang Ling dismounted and asked carefully about the terrain there. Hong Peng made a detailed picture of the torch drawing on the ground. Yang Ling stood up and looked at the map for a long while, and ordered: “Call the generals, The officer will deploy military orders here! “

Wu Hanchao stood behind Yang Ling holding the Shang Fang sword wrapped in Huang Ling. The guards on both sides raised their torches. Firelight Hunting reflected Yang Ling’s face in awe. Yang Ling summoned the generals one by one, pointing to the figures on the ground. Explain to them the tasks to be performed by each other.

After finishing everything, Yang Ling slowly stood up, looked around, and whispered: “Generals, our soldiers in Jiangnan, to what extent, you don’t need to say, you know!”

“It’s not as good as people? Martial arts are not as good as people? Also, those desperate people are doing this every day, but the tigers can’t stand the wolves, your uncles! We have 23,000 people, can’t we fight one out of four?”

Yang Ling suddenly roared. He pointed to Wu Jiang and shouted: “Who is in trouble ahead? It is hard work, for your food, for your food and clothing parents! They are being slaughtered and humiliated by pirates! On the other hand, when the soldiers are employed for a while, the head pigs can still eat meat after the Chinese New Year. Is the waste of the breeding group used to fertilize the land? “

This unprepared pre-war mobilization allowed the group of generals to open their eyes, and their shy faces turned purple.

Yang Ling withdrew the Shang Fang sword from Wu Hanchao’s backhand. Although he has worked hard these days, he continues to practice Wu Wuchao every day, and his swordsmanship is similar. The sword flower shakes and sounds like a dragon.

Yang Ling said in a word, murderously said: “This battle, Xu Sheng can not be defeated! Together with the war, your governors, Wu Chang retired, kill Wu Chang! Wu Chang did not retreat and retired soldiers, do all the slaughter. Long retreat, long kill! By analogy, if the whole army retreats, I’m sorry general, I will use your item to take the head and sacrifice my sword in the hands! Have you heard it? “

The crowd will be paled by his horrified complexion, speechless and trembling, Yang Ling yelled again: “Have you heard?”

The generals swallowed hard and sighed in a hurry: “The final order will be taken!”

Yang Ling raised his voice abruptly and said sharply, “You will kill the whole army by sitting down in your own office! Tell all the soldiers again, the pirates are not a group of tigers, but a group of wild dogs! The wolf is still fierce. You hurt it. The next time you do n’t wait for you to pick up the bricks, it will run away with its tail! “

Min Wenjian shoved his big knife and shouted: “Lao Tzu is also fed up with these counselors, regardless of whether he is an official or a soldier, he touches his own crotch. If there is no less grunt, Just **** up to be a lord, follow the governor to fight the wild dog! “

Luo Yi Luo Dusi and the Japanese pirates were defeated for several battles. Because the governor’s mansion was located in Suzhou, he transferred his soldiers to strengthen the protection. The humiliating words were heard in his ears, just like they were specifically told to him. It was the same, a line of distress like a needle stuck, he immediately shouted: “Yes, at the end of today will take another half step, the sky thunders, there is no place to die!”

The bloodiness of the generals were all aroused, and they all rubbed their hands.

Yang Ling swept coldly, Shen Sheng shouted: “Open up!”
