Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

But the powerful fighting power of these pirates at sea also made Chen Yuanqing frightened. He never expected that these short Japanese pirates would have such a strong will to fight.

Even if they were seriously injured, these Japanese pirates were still fighting desperately. In Chen Yuanqing's view, these Japanese pirates were simply lunatics. Their fighting method of exchanging lives for lives, coupled with the long knives in their hands, were really sharper than Dakang's weapons, so after this battle, the two sides were inseparable, and even the battle loss rate on Dakang's side was higher.

However, with the sharpness of later firearms and a large number of flintlock guns entering the battlefield, the arrogance of these Japanese pirates was suppressed.

Chen Yuanqing deployed heavy firepower in the directions where several Japanese pirates were most likely to break out. A large number of guns were deployed in these places to focus on prevention. When the Japanese pirates organized a raid, these bullets were poured towards the Japanese pirates as if they were lifeless.

Although the accuracy of flintlock guns is not up to par at this stage, there are so many people who cannot hold the gun, and many Japanese pirates are killed indiscriminately by a single volley.

"Commander, these Japanese pirates are concentrating on the superior equipment. They have thrown away everything they grabbed from their hands and bodies. It seems that they are going to give it a try."

A general came to the camp and reported the situation of the Japanese pirates to Chen Yuanqing. After hearing this, Chen Yuanqing was so angry that he suddenly pulled out his sword and went into battle himself.

"Commander, you must not do it. You are the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Scale Army. How can you go to the battlefield in person? If something happens, how will you let the brothers deal with each other?"

Several close soldiers forcibly stopped Chen Yuanqing. These soldiers felt bitter about this unreliable commander.

From ancient times to the present, there is no such thing as a commander sitting in the commander's camp personally going into battle to kill the enemy. Speaking of this matter is like a fantasy.

"Their most likely breakout direction is this place, because they have already tried several other directions, and the troops in this place are particularly weak. Once they break through from this place, they will quickly approach the sea."

Chen Yuanqing stood in front of the map and pointed at several possible directions. Finally, he pinpointed the possible breakout direction to a point.

Several combat staff officers were very supportive of Chen Yuanqing's judgment, but everyone was helpless against the Japanese slaves' breakout. When these snail people broke through, they were as strong as beacons and rushed forward desperately. Nowadays, the Dakang army has There are no effective means to completely counter the opponent.

"Fake a siege. When they break through, I will open a hole for them to escape. We only need the cavalry to chase them, and we can slowly wear them to death. What's more, Tong Xiaofeng's people should have arrived by now. We're at the seaside. After these Japanese slaves' ships were destroyed, I'll see how they get back to the sea."

Chen Yuanqing thought of a way, that is, instead of confronting these Japanese pirates head-on, he chose to open a hole to let them escape, and then use the cavalry to slowly pursue them.

Chen Yuanqing's idea is undoubtedly the best solution, because in this way the losses will be minimized, and the Japanese pirates who escaped have no strong will to fight. They will continue to hunt and harass them during the escape stage, which will eventually lead to These small groups of Japanese pirates slowly dispersed. This was the real strategy.

Sure enough, at dawn, the Japanese pirates, numbering close to 4,000, launched the first wave of charge.

Once these Japanese pirates launched a charge, they all rushed forward as if they were desperate. Facing the hail of bullets, these Japanese pirates were not afraid at all. Moreover, once they came into contact with the Dakang army, the soldiers of the Dakang army would be quickly defeated.

Even if the world-famous Dragon Scale Army fights these Japanese pirates, it still seems to be slightly inadequate.

Chen Yuanqing stood on a hill and observed the entire battlefield from a high position. When he saw the Japanese pirates charging forward with their teeth and claws open, he sighed in his heart.

More than 4,000 Japanese pirates broke through, and eventually more than 1,000 were killed. Only more than 2,000 escaped from the encirclement.

Soon, a large number of cavalrymen were holding on to the Japanese pirates, chasing them all the way. A large number of Japanese pirates died on the road. By the time these Japanese pirates rushed to the seaside, there were less than a thousand people left.

After seeing that the big ship they had worked so hard to build had been scuttled, these Japanese pirates even suffered a mental breakdown.

They worked hard to escape from the encirclement, but they didn't expect this to be the result in the end.

Under heavy siege, they escaped, but when they reached the seaside, they had no way to escape, because they faced the vast sea and it was impossible for them to escape to the sea without a boat.

"I want to capture them alive. Tell my brothers, try not to kill those who can. Killing these beasts with one knife will give them an advantage."

Chen Yuanqing had a murderous look on his face. In this siege of these Japanese pirates, the Longlin Army had already lost nearly 5,000 people. This was a loss that Chen Yuanqing could not bear.

Even in the previous Eight Kings Rebellion in Jiangnan, there was no record of losing so many men in a single battle in previous battles.

This time, this group of gangsters really surprised Chen Yuanqing and made him stumble. It was completely beyond his expectation.

After fighting one after another, the Japanese pirates' fighting will was gradually dissipated. There was no retreat and no way forward. Facing the huge dragon-scale army, no matter how strong the fighting will of these Japanese pirates was, at this time It was almost completely disintegrated.

Chen Yuanqing, on the other hand, held a machete and rushed to the front. A Japanese pirate stood in front of Chen Yuanqing and was split in half with his sword.

The common clothes worn by these Japanese pirates had no protection at all, and they held long Japanese knives in their hands. Facing Chen Yuanqing who was holding heavy weapons, they had no ability to resist.

After a while, the entire beach was stained red with blood. Except for the two hundred or so captives, the thousands of Japanese pirates were all stained with blood on the battlefield.

Chen Yuanqing had no sympathy for these Japanese pirates, because in his eyes, these Japanese pirates were almost indistinguishable from animals, and they could not be called human beings.

"Commander, we have annihilated more than 7,600 Japanese pirates this time."

The logistics officer came to report the results of this battle to Chen Yuanqing, but Chen Yuanqing was not happy at all, because the Dragon Scale Army also lost nearly 5,000 people in this battle.

This kind of mutual losses between the two sides in the battle really made Chen Yuanqing unhappy.

Even Chen Yuanqing didn't know how to write a memorial to the imperial court.

The Dragon Scale Army left with its front foot, and a group of pirates came to the shore again. This time there were two thousand people. These two thousand people were not like the previous group of Japanese pirates, who were slightly stronger in the coastal area but condensed into a rope. Towards the towns on the coast.

By the time Chen Yuanqing received the news, it was already the next morning. When he learned that two more towns on the seaside had been massacred by Japanese pirates, and tens of thousands of lives had been deprived of their lives, Chen Yuanqing was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Broken.
