Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 575 Where the Army Soul Is

In fact, the battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River started much earlier than that at Jinling.

It was quite a miracle that none of the pirate chiefs who came to help them go to Jinling.

Thinking deeply, it is not difficult to understand why these people refused to go upstream and enter the inland river.

First of all, the purpose of these people is not pure. In addition, the pirates roam the sea all year round, living a life of licking blood with swords, and they are unusually sensitive to danger. wrong rule.

Of course Wang Wenyan knew the purpose of these people, but now he wanted something from others, and before he achieved his purpose, he could only let these people do whatever they wanted.

There is no doubt about the prosperity of Daming. When they arrived at the coast of Daming and did not encounter the Ming army fleet, the eyes of these people had already started to glow blue, and they even couldn't wait.

Because it was getting late, in order to avoid getting lost, these pirates were not as impatient as Wang Wenyan, but did not send people off the ship until dawn.

With the lifting of the sea ban, coupled with the strength of the Ming Navy, many villages have appeared along the coast. Although these villages cannot be compared with inland cities, they are already delicious fats for these beggar-like pirates.

Lu Chun was in charge of the ambush on land. Although he had been in the army for decades, he had never had any real contact with pirates and Japanese pirates. Immediately panicked.

Before the pirates even entered the village, Lu Chun gave an order, and then ambushed soldiers everywhere, immediately surrounded the hundred or so pirates who came to explore the way.

Although the pirates were surrounded, their ferocious nature was also aroused under the dying struggle. With the weapons in their hands, they fought evenly with several times the number of officers and soldiers.

It must also be said that these new troops have been trained by the Liaodong Army, otherwise they may have collapsed.

There were still more than a dozen officers from the Liaodong Army in the army. According to the normal way of fighting, even if you want to attack this group of pirates, you have to use bows and crossbows first, and wait for a large number of enemies to be killed, and then do all the ambush.

But the main general of this battle is Lu Chun. This guy has little actual combat experience, and he is too timid. Even a group of tigers and wolves were scattered by him, a sheep.

After a while, the pirates rushed out of the encirclement and retreated to the seaside after leaving behind more than [-] corpses.

At this time, Lu Chun's stupidity came up again. Seeing the pirates retreating, he immediately felt that the opportunity to make a great contribution had come, and waved his hand: "Brothers, we must wipe out this group of pirates. Go back and invite me to drink."

Under the command of Lu Chun, thousands of officers and soldiers were able to break through a hundred or so pirates, which already shows how useless he is.

When the soldiers saw that the pirates had escaped, the general gave the order to hunt them down again, but they didn't care about reorganizing the team, and immediately chased them down like a swarm.

At this moment, several pirate ships moored offshore opened fire.

If Ye Xun hadn't installed the artillery transferred from Liaodong on the ship, at this time, the artillery on the Ming army's warship was really inferior to the red-haired ghost's artillery, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the top of the ship.

"Boom, boom"

The huge artillery shells fell on the Ming army, immediately plowing out bloody ditches in the Ming army, and those flowering shells were even more deadly, exploding in the densely populated places of the Ming army, blowing the Ming army to pieces.

Seeing this, Lu Chun couldn't help being scared out of his wits, turned his head and ran away without thinking.

The sudden artillery fire blinded the Ming army, and when they woke up, they immediately followed Lu Chun's example and fled in all directions.

Seeing this, more than a dozen Liaodong officers had red eyes. When was the Liaodong Army so embarrassing?

Swinging a knife and knocking over a few fleeing soldiers, but the morale of the army has been lost. With the strength of a dozen of them alone, they can't control the momentum of the rout.

At this time, the seventy or eighty pirates who had already fled to the seashore with their feet in the sea couldn't help "haha!" laughing, turned around and shouted at the Ming army to chase and kill them without anyone's command.

The Ming army had already disintegrated, and the artillery on the pirate ships ceased firing. Not only that, more than a dozen pirate ships had lowered their small boats, and the pirates jumped into the small boats one after another, and then rowed towards the shore with all their might.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were really rubbish, they were as powerful as in the legends, if that was the case, then there was no reason to hesitate, wait a little longer, the good things should be snatched away by others.

At this time, except for a dozen officers from Liaodong in the Ming army, all the soldiers had already run away.

Before the start of the battle, Lu Chun thought he had the chance to win, so he didn't even let his subordinates use firearms. If there were a few grenades at this moment, the situation would not be so critical.

More than a dozen Liaodong military officers glanced at each other, and their firm eyes were enough to show that they would rather die than surrender.

"Brothers, Eunuch Ye said that those who die on their stomachs with their heads backward can be regarded as fleeing the battle. There are no cowards in our Liaodong Army."

"That's right! Killing one is enough money, and killing two is enough. Anyway, our family is under the care of Eunuch Ye, so it's worth dying in battle."

"kill!".
A dozen or so officers stood like a mountain, showing the aura of thousands of troops, and the expression of seeing death as home immediately made the pirates' rush to kill stagnate.

But this kind of stagnation was very short-lived, and thousands of officers and soldiers were scared away. What use can these dozen people be?With a strange cry, dozens of pirates rushed over.

What the pirates didn't expect was that, despite the fact that there were only a dozen officers, these people came from Ye Xun's Guards Battalion, and each one counted as ten.

In a blink of an eye, the two groups were fighting together, amidst the screams, more than [-] pirates died under the swords of these officers.

Seeing this, the pirates put away their contempt immediately, and changed from just blindly charging to fighting around. The purpose is obvious. There are so many pirates, even if they are tired, these dozen people will be exhausted to death.

Even if the pirates changed their strategy, fifty or sixty pirates would still die under the knife. However, there were too many pirates, and more than a dozen officers began to fall one after another, and the rest were all injured.

"Damn a bunch of trash, what to shoot, shoot arrows!"

A man who looked like the leader of the pirates finally came to his senses and shouted loudly.

The pirates also came to their senses. The pirates who rushed to the front withdrew one after another, while the pirates behind bent their bows and shot arrows at the exhausted officers in the circle.

"buzz"

After a sound of bowstrings, it was seen that the bodies of several officers who could barely stand were full of arrows, but even so, several officers still maintained a posture of standing proudly facing the sea.

Intimidated by the aura of these officers, none of the pirates dared to touch their corpses.

The pirate leader was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said angrily: "You are really fucking trash if you say you are trash. If we are alive, we are not afraid, but are we afraid of death? Let's go! There is a Han village not far ahead, and we should run away by night."

The pirates got the order, bypassed the corpses of more than a dozen officers, and swarmed towards the village ahead.

Before the pirates could run far away, there was a rapid sound of horns from the pirate ship. The pirates stopped and looked back in amazement.

It turned out that at some point on the sea, a dense array of warships suddenly appeared on the sea, full of sails, riding the wind and waves.
