Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 143 Jia Lian, a true warrior!
Since the Japanese pirates captured Ningbo Mansion at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, there has been great chaos in the south of the Yangtze River!

The chief envoy of Zhejiang dispatched the news to Jinling and the capital at eight hundred miles. The imperial envoy, Governor-General of the Jiangnan Army and Minister of the Ministry of War, Wen Lian, who was in Jinling Mansion, immediately dispatched [-] troops from the Jiangnan Camp to go south.

It's a pity that Jiangnan has been in peace for too long. The old soldiers of Jiangnan camp were suddenly attacked by Japanese pirates in Yuyao County, and they lost their troops and lost their generals.

After Jia Lian came to the imperial envoy with the letters of recommendation from Lin Ruhai and Jia She, Wen Lian was overjoyed and asked his confidant generals to examine Jia Lian carefully. The elite cavalry rushed to the aid of Shangyu, which was being surrounded by Japanese pirates.

Taking advantage of the night, Jia Lian and other [-] right warrior guards were secretly sent to Linshanwei in the northeast of Shangyu by the Songjiang Navy.

Jia Lian ordered repairs on the spot, and then sent two teams of scouts to check the situation.Linshanwei was a Japanese guard set up by Emperor Taizong. Unfortunately, after years, not only was there a serious shortage of guards, but there were not even a few pairs of usable leather armor.

After the left-behind deputy Qianhu handed over several recent battle reports to Jia Lian, he showed his loyalty to the emperor perfunctorily, then yawned and went to sleep, not worried about the Japanese pirates attacking at all.

In his words, there are not many copper coins in Linshan Weiqiong, how could the pirates be willing to risk the risk of going to the Songjiang Navy to come to the seaside...

"My lord, this kind of person is unreliable!"

Deputy Qianhu Gu Yan said contemptuously: "According to the general's opinion, let's go around Shangyu first and go to Kuaiji to join the Pingwa army. The general is not afraid of death, but there are no less than ten thousand Japanese pirates besieging Shangyu. We people like this Going directly to Shangyu is no different from sending him to death."

Jia Lian quickly read the battle reports of the past few days in his hand, handed them to Gu Yan and said, "Brother Gu, take a look, we probably don't have time to go to Kuaiji to join the army!"

It turned out that on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, more than ten thousand Japanese pirates landed in Lihai on the north side of Kuaiji, captured Lihaisuo and Sanshansuo in one fell swoop, and then stormed the unsuspecting Kuaiji.

Not to mention rushing to help Shangyu, the Pingwa army will be busy for a while just defending in a hurry.

"Hiss! Where did these pirates come from? Zhejiang, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Gu Yan picked up a pen and began to mark on the map that there were Japanese pirates in the five major cities of Ningbo, Cixi, Yuyao, Shangyu, and Kuaiji. Roughly calculated, there were no less than 4 Japanese pirates in Shaoxing and Ningbo.

The central center has been arguing for several months over the matter of suppressing the Japanese, but so far has not sent enough food and soldiers to Wen Lian, only a set of imperial edicts for self-raised soldiers and salaries.

This caused Wen Lian to arrive in Jiangnan for two months. Apart from the limited few thousand forbidden troops around him, the only ones who could command and move were the veteran soldiers of the Jiangnan camp.

Rely on that group of veteran soldiers to fight [-] Japanese pirates?Stop dreaming!
Jia Lian stared at the map on the table for a long time, and finally sighed: "The commander must have received the news, I think he will send reinforcements as soon as possible."

"But my lord, what shall we do?"

Gu Yan opened his mouth again and again, and finally said what he wanted in his heart: "There are Japanese pirates in the nearby cities, my lord, we don't even have a place to replenish food and grass, or we should go back to the north!"

There is a strong enemy in front, and the sea behind. If you don't take advantage of the Songjiang Navy's ship still retreating to Haining, you may die under the sword of Japanese pirates in a few days.

Ordinarily, there was nothing wrong with Gu Yan's plan, but Jia Lian shook his head: "Shangyu is in a hurry, and it seems that it will not be able to keep it. It is related to the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, and we can't help it!"

"But my lord, there are thousands of people besieging Shangyu, we only need a thousand cavalry..."

I saw Jia Lian pointing to a place on the map, and said confidently: "The cavalry is good, let's come and encircle Wei and save Zhao!"

……

After burying the pot for cooking and having a meal of warm meat porridge, the Youwuwei soldiers finally regained their spirits. After dawn, they galloped quickly and arrived at a small village fifteen miles north of Yuyao County before evening.

Although he was prepared, Jia Lian couldn't help cursing angrily when he saw the ruins and corpses everywhere in this small village in the south of the Yangtze River: "These bastards!"

"My lord, all young and old, younger girls, only a few little women who died with babies..."

Bang!
Jia Lian punched the big tree next to him. Gu Yan took a peek at the blood stains on the trunk, and reported in a low voice: "There is no food or money in the village, and there are 240 corpses in total. It seems that the Japanese pirates have kidnapped all the young women. Already!"

The half-covered door was pushed open, and the little woman on the bed seemed to have exhausted all her strength to protect the baby under her body. Her half-naked back was covered with bruises. It leaked out and pierced into the baby's neck...

Jia Lian silently tore off the bed curtain and covered her with cold eyes.

After a long time, he said in a cold voice: "Let the brothers send the villagers who died in the dead for a ride. Remember to tell the villagers, wait a minute, the son of Daxia will send the enemies to kowtow to confess their sins!"

Under the auspices of Yan Yuanying, the county magistrate, Yuyao City forcibly blocked the onslaught of more than ten thousand Japanese pirates for more than ten days.

Fortunately, Yuyao has a lot of food, and Yan Yuanying aggressively collected food from the big families in the city, and adopted the supply system to unite the people in the city, and organized more than [-] young and strong to cooperate with the city guards to guard the city.

However, Yan Yuanying also knew that if the imperial court did not send reinforcements, the city would not be far from being destroyed after the food in the city ran out.

"Xianzun, those people in the city are clamoring for surrender and fleeing again!"

The county magistrate, Li Qian, dragged his exhausted body back to the county government office. As soon as he entered the door, he said frowningly: "There are many people gathered in the south gate. They all listened to Qian Shiying and Diao Delu's demagogy, saying that there is not enough food in the city. It takes three days, and the only way to survive is to escape from the city!"

"Escape from the city? Even if you take advantage of Yaojiang to escape to the south, can you escape the Japanese pirates' butcher knife?"

Yan Yuanying scolded angrily: "Damn Qian Shiying and Diao Delu deserve to be cut to death! Brother Li, send people to disperse the people gathered at the south gate. You go to Qian's and Diao's houses to warn them personally. If there are any rumors that disturb the morale of the army, no matter whether there is evidence or not, I will confirm that they are the ones spreading them, behead them!"

Boom boom boom...

The sound of artillery rang again, and night was about to fall. This was the last wave of attack today.

Yan Yuanying closed the food account book, raised the long knife beside the table, nodded to Li Qian, and walked out of the county office.

……

The cannons of the Japanese pirates were all light and portable Franco cannons. Jia Lian said to Gu Yan regretfully, "It's a pity that these four cannons must be destroyed. It would be great if they could be dragged back."

Gu Yan looked at the Japanese pirates' positions spraying fire snakes in the distance, and grinned: "This small cannon of the Frang machine is not as good as our general cannon, and its range and power are far behind... But if you want it, you can do it later." Let the last general take the brothers for a while longer, and the adults will drag him away!"

"No, what we have to do this time is to intersperse, intersperse, and intersect again! Destroy these cannons and disrupt the formation of the Japanese pirates. The lives of the brothers are important, and the artillery will be taken from the Ministry of Industry!"

Jia Lian glanced at the sky, it was slowly getting dark.

He drew out the long knife at his waist, and pulled down the mask, the hideous black fangs mask shone coldly.

"Brothers, do you still remember the folks who died tragically under the sword of Japanese pirates? Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

With the sound of revenge, a thousand cavalry in the shape of arrows, led by Jia Lian, gradually accelerated towards the army of Japanese pirates who besieged Yuyao County.

Boom boom boom...

The barrels of the four cannons were almost turned red, and the Japanese pirates directing the shelling were yelling at the gunners who wanted to stop the shelling. The interpreter next to him cursed: "My lord tells you to continue reloading quickly..."

"But if you hit it again, it will explode!"

As soon as the sad-faced gunner said something, he was whipped on the shoulder by the Japanese pirate who directed the shelling.

The burning pain made him groan and fell to the ground.

Boom, boom, boom...

The ground was shaking, and the amplitude of the shaking was getting bigger and bigger.

The man raised his head and saw a group of devils with black armor and fangs rushing towards him.

"Ah, ghost... ghost..."

Snapped!
"What the hell? Hurry up and continue reloading..."

"kill!"

Under the cover of the night and the roar of the artillery, a thousand iron cavalry rushed into the Japanese pirate camp, and they were not discovered until they went straight into the artillery position.

Jia Lian, who was at the head of the army, yelled, and slashed his long knife across the Japanese pirate who was obviously in command. The Japanese pirate didn't even have time to shout, and his head flew high.

click!

The horse's hoof stepped on the fallen corpse, and the intestines were directly squeezed out. The stench almost fainted Jia Lian who was on the horse.

"Sure enough, it's a barbarian, and the smell is incomparable!"

The hand raised the knife and fell, and it was the head of a thief.The thousand iron cavalry didn't stop at all, harvesting weeds and beheading all the [-] or so enemies in the artillery camp, and rushed to the nearest bow and crossbow camp.

Only a few broken soldiers threw the torches onto the gunpowder pile, and then galloped quickly...

boom!boom!boom!
The flames shot up into the sky, and Yan Yuanying, who stood on the top of the city and commanded the defense, stared at the Japanese camp on the left side of the city gate in surprise, and murmured, "Is this a bomb?"

"My lord, it's cavalry!"

A school lieutenant pointed forward with his hand, and Yan Yuanying looked in the direction of the school lieutenant's finger, and saw a cavalry rushing out of the Japanese pirate camp, straight into the Japanese pirate camp that was attacking the city, like a sharp knife The chisel chiseled out a red line in the formation of the Japanese pirates.

"Black helmets, black armor... With such combat power, they are the Imperial Guards of the Beijing Camp!"

No matter what Yan Yuanying said, she was also a Jinshi with a formal background. Although she was only the same Jinshi at the bottom of the list, she was also a regular candidate for the imperial examination, so her knowledge is naturally extraordinary.

With just one glance, he could tell the identity of the person coming.

"Beat the drum, cheer for my Great Xia cavalry!"

dong dong dong...

With the sound of war drums, the archers at the head of the city also tried their best to help the cavalry below the city to clear the way.Originally, Yan Yuanying thought that Jia Lian and the others were going to pierce through the enemy army and rush into the city to join them, but she didn't want to be like a cavalry pierce through the enemy camp, shoot a feathered arrow carrying a letter at the top of the city, and turn the horse's head again Into the army of Japanese pirates.

Yan Yuanying immediately opened the letter, read it hastily, and shouted: "Jia Lian, you are a real warrior!"
