Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"General, look."

"There's a fire over at Niutoushan."

"What a big fire!"

Naturally, the fierce flames of Niutoushan cannot be hidden from the surroundings.

Qi Daguang, who was taking a circuitous route, heard the shouting and looked in the direction of Niutoushan.

Sure enough, the sky over there has been dyed a light red, and you can even vaguely feel the hot breeze.

"what's the situation?"

"The Zhu Jiajun gang are setting fire to the mountain?"

"No, how could they light the fire in this winter?"

Qi Daguang frowned and couldn't understand.

It is impossible for Japanese pirates to burn themselves. It seems that Cao Bianjiao is causing trouble.

He had previously considered setting fire to the mountain to kill the Japanese pirates, but he gave up in the end.

After all, it’s not easy to light a fire in this winter.

"Go and inquire."

"Let's see what's going on."

Qi Daguang couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it anymore.

A messenger was called and asked to go to Zhu's army camp to inquire about the situation.

He himself continued to lead the team towards the target point.

After running a little further, the messenger came back.

"Report to the general, Zhu Jiajun has dragged out many large catapults."

"They threw an object called a black oil can and set the forest on fire."

"Now the Japanese pirates in Niutoushan are breaking out towards the rear. Cao Bianjiao has already dispatched with the main force of Zhu's army, preparing to occupy the highlands of Niutoushan after the fire subsides."

Ok?

Qi Daguang's eyes widened and he was a little shocked when he heard the news from the messenger.

Niutoushan was captured? !

What the hell!

How long has it been?

"black oil?"

"catapult?"

"Tsk, it seems that our Majesty has equipped Zhu Jiajun with many good things."

Qi Daguang had read about black oil in a book.

He is indeed a master of arson.

Unfortunately, that thing is relatively rare and cannot be deployed in the army on a large scale.

Zhu Jiajun was able to produce so much, and it seemed that it was a small stove run by His Majesty.

"It's not just the jar. When I went there, I happened to see Zhu Jiajun's people transporting a large number of artillery pieces up there."

"I asked around and found out that the Zhu Jiajun alone is equipped with nearly a thousand Folan cannons."

"And there's plenty of ammunition."

"This is simply like the treatment of a biological son."

The messenger continued to say a few words with some envy.

Originally, the equipment of Qi Jiajun was not bad, but compared with Zhu Jiajun, it was somewhat shabby.

"It's normal. Those are the emperor's own troops."

"The good things in His Majesty's hands will be given to them first."

"Now that they've gotten off to a good start, we have to speed up."

After hearing this, Qi Daguang's eyes flashed with envy.

These veteran soldiers are really rich and powerful.

That’s it, since there’s nothing to do, let’s move on.

As long as they can break into the first-class corps, they will definitely be able to have what Zhu Jiajun has!

----------------------------------

"Report!"

"General, the large Japanese pirate troops have withdrawn, and reinforcements from other Japanese pirate camps have appeared across the valley."

"It seems that they want to wait for the fire to subside before attacking Niutoushan."

On the other side, Cao Bianjiao, who was showing off his wealth inexplicably, was commanding the army to advance rapidly.

At this time, the fire on the mountain is still spreading, but there are already signs of weakening.

After the slings at the back stopped dropping fuel, the moist air and wood greatly hindered the spread of the fire.

In an hour at most, he could lead people to the top of the mountain.

At this moment, the messenger came and told him some bad news.

Such a big fire obviously alerted the Japanese pirates in other surrounding camps.

Niutoushan is the exit directly facing Fuzhou. If it is occupied, the Japanese pirates will have to take a detour if they want to enter Fuzhou.

"Oh, tell Zhu Youlong and let him get ready."

"Send more ammunition over and make sure to hold the valley mouth."

"If these little dwarfs dare to attack by force, then I will kill them from my general!"

The entrance to the valley is now occupied by Zhu Youlong's 5000 troops.

If they were to attack from the front, he really didn't believe that these dwarfs could charge in with the artillery.

Moreover, the Japanese pirates should have discovered the troops on both wings at this time, and they must reserve manpower for defense.

In this way, the number of Japanese pirates he had to face was only about 5.

With the help of the terrain of Niutoushan, it will be no problem to defend it!

Now all he has to do is wait...

Wait for the response from the Japanese fleet at sea!

Soon, news of the events at Niutoushan reached Tokugawa Youmaru.

Seeing Niutoushan fall, Tokugawa Youmaru flew up and kicked the table in front of him away!

"Baga! What are you doing in Tokugawa's pants?"

"The Niutoushan camp was lost in just one hour!"

"Is he playing me?"

"And black oil...what the hell black oil can burn in winter!"

"My general sees that he is afraid of fighting!"

Niutoushan camp is the frontline of Japanese pirates.

If this place is lost, it will be equivalent to the spear having its head cut off, and its deterrence will be greatly reduced!

According to Tokugawa Youmaru's original thought, even if Niutoushan was to be lost, it would cost Ming Manzi at least [-] men.

The result is now good. No one died, but nearly 3000 people were killed!

Play with the snake skin!

"General, what should we do now?"

"From the intelligence point of view, Ming Manzi is attacking in three directions this time."

"Except for the one in the middle, there are nearly 2 horses on both sides."

"Is this because you want to make dumplings?"

The staff next to him saw how angry Tokugawa Youmaru was and quickly asked.

This time, Ming Manzi's movement was quite serious.

Nearly 5 troops attacked in three directions, and it felt like they were going to wipe out the [-]th battalion.

"Oh, don't panic."

"The total strength of the twelve battalions is more than 8000."

"Even if it's a bit reduced now, it still has the advantages of terrain and troop strength."

"The Qi Family Army, the garrison army, and the Zhu Family Army are just new armies, and their combat effectiveness is not strong."

"Probably just to show off, so as not to be punished by their little emperor."

"In this way, let the fleet move forward to shorten the supply distance."

"Tell Tokugawa Pants, if you lose Niutoushan, you can lose it, but you are not allowed to lose it in the camp behind!"

"Otherwise, let's commit seppuku!"

Tokugawa Youmaru looked at the map and thought about it for a while, then shook his head.

Although he lost the first battle, the advantage was still in his hands.

As long as the Four Elephants Army does not join in, he is still sure of bullying these three new armies.

As for that bullshit black oil...

Even if it is true, it is estimated that the number will not be too many.

After all, if there were enough, Manzi would have set the fire long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

Ming Manzi's army was so eager to fight that they were probably put under pressure by their little emperor.

If so, drag it on!

Being in a hurry can make mistakes. As long as they act steadily, they will definitely be able to find a fighting opportunity.

"Yes, General!"

The staff member next to him nodded and wrote down the order.

Not long after, someone was sent to deliver it to Tokugawa Pants.

Seeing Tokugawa Youmaru's slightly threatening words, Tokugawa Pants looked a little ugly.

He is an honorable warrior!

This kind of failure simply nailed him to the pillar of shame!

No!

I must find an opportunity to take back Niutoushan!
