Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1450 Darkness in front of my eyes

  The setting sun was like blood, like drowning in the west, in the blood-red afterglow, a group of crows croaked excitedly and hovered over Funing Town.

  As scavengers, they are so excited! Excited! It's because they smell the big meal!

Below the crows is a courtyard of a wooden building. In the courtyard is a group of Japanese pirates. Half of them are sleeping on the ground, and the other half are guarding with weapons. The open space in front of the courtyard is full of blood, and more than a thousand Ming soldiers are about 50 meters away from the courtyard Surrounded by the courtyard, in the open space behind the Ming army, there were 378 corpses of the Ming army.

These are not all the corpses of the Ming army. There are still dozens of corpses of the Ming army that have not been collected in front of the courtyard gate occupied by the Japanese pirates. However, due to the fear of the longbows and iron cannons of the Japanese pirates, no living Ming army dared to step forward. To collect the corpses for their comrades-in-arms, lest they go forward to collect the corpses and become corpses instead.

  The crows hovered over these corpses, circling, chattering, and salivating.

  When the setting sun sank into the ground, a team of seven or eight hundred people came from afar and joined the Ming army.

  Suddenly, a burst of excited noise came from the Ming army, and the low morale of the Ming army also increased significantly.

  In the courtyard.

   Naoshima stood on the steps with a Japanese sword in his arms, looked at the excited Ming army outside the courtyard, and sneered with disdain, "I don't know what it means! No matter how many sheep come, they are still sheep! It can't change the fate of being eaten!"

   "Hehe, didn't Daming have a book "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and there is a sentence in it that is very suitable for them."

  Matsuura Sanbanlang also looked at the Ming army outside the courtyard who was excited because of the reinforcements with a sneer on his face, and sneered.

   "Oh, what kind of book is this? Is it a military book like "Thirty-Six Strategies"?" Nabeshima asked curiously.

   "It's not a book of war, it's better than a book of war. There are quite a few of this book in Ming Dynasty, and you can get it by robbing a study in another day. When we finish the mission, we will cross the sea and return. The journey is long, and the straight male general can just study it."

  Matsuura Sanbanlang replied.

"Yuxi, Your Highness has also repeatedly asked me to read more books. This time, I will start with this "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Naoshima nodded, remembering what Matsuura Sanbanlang said just now, and asked again. Said, "You just said that there is a sentence in this book that is very suitable for them. Which sentence is it?"

"In "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in the section 'Tun Tu Shan Guan Covenant to save the white horse Cao Cao from the siege', Wu Sheng Guan Yu glanced at Yan Liang, who made Cao Jun ashamed, and said to Cao Cao, "I look at Yan Liang, and sell it as a label!" "Sanbanlang Matsuura loves reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" very much, and he can almost recite it backwards.

   "Sell the first by inserting the bid?! Hahaha, Wu Sheng's words are really apt, isn't the Ming army outside by inserting the bid and selling the first?!"

  Naoshima Naoo burst out laughing when he heard this.

"General straight man, when the reinforcements from the Ming army arrived just now, I counted them silently. The reinforcements from the Ming army this time were about 800 people, and more than half of them carried bows and arrows. If I expected correctly, the reinforcements from the Ming army Tonight we will attack the building with rockets." Sanbanrou Matsuura said softly after Naoshima's laughter fell.

"The 800 reinforcements are just 800 people who want to insert labels and sell their heads, Rocket? Hehe, the fire is 10,000 times more dangerous than the Ming army, but before they attack, we have already crossed the river, haven't we?!" Pot Naoshima laughed in disbelief.

"Hehe, that's true." Matsuura Sanbanlang also laughed, "In the daytime battle, the Ming army's courage has been lost. Even if they attack with fire, they will choose around midnight, while I'm asleep." ’ time. Unfortunately, what they don’t know is that we will break out and cross the river at the second watch.”

Ha ha ha ha

  Nabeshima Naoo and Matsuura Sanbanlang looked at each other and laughed.

  Finally, night fell, the sky and the earth were shrouded in night, and because of the cloudy sky, there was not a single star in the sky, and the night was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

  In the temporary camp of the Ming army, under the orders of Liu Zhifu and Xu Qianhu, the Ming army worked overtime in the camp to make rockets, wrapped the arrow clusters with cotton, and soaked them in oil. The reason why Liu Zhifu and Xu Qianhua ordered the Ming army to make rockets in the camp was to avoid being discovered by the Japanese pirates and leak the plan for tonight's fire attack.

   "My lord, we have finished making all five thousand rockets." A general reported to Liu Zhifu and Xu Qianhu.

   "Okay! Tonight next year will be the death day of these evil Japanese pirates!" Liu Zhifu said confidently.

   "The high-rise buildings occupied by Japanese pirates are made of solid wood. These rockets will surely let them die without a place to bury them!"

  Xu Qianhu is equally confident.

   "My lord, the tall building is made of solid wood, but there is still a courtyard. There is a lot of open space in the courtyard. If the pirates escape from the tall building to the courtyard in time, they may be able to escape." A general pointed out a loophole.

   "Yes." Xu Qianhu frowned when he heard this.

   "Hehe, didn't I order you to cut wood?! When the fire attacked, throw all the wood into the courtyard, and worry about burning the Japanese pirates to death!"

  Prefect Liu said with a smile on his face, he had already made preparations in advance for the general's concern.

   "Prefect Liu is wise!" Xu Qianhu and all the generals cast admiring glances at Prefect Liu, full of praise.

   "Where is it?" Liu Zhifu said modestly with a smile.

   "Xu Qianhu, everyone, the third watch tonight is the time to attack the Japanese pirates, don't delay the opportunity of the battle, or the military law will be followed!" At the end, Liu Zhifu said to Xu Qianhu and the generals with a serious face.

   "Obey!"

   Everyone said in unison.

Next, under the orders of Liu Zhifu and Xu Qianhu, the Ming army had an early meal. Except for the 800 Ming troops on duty who continued to guard, the rest of the Ming army rested early, recharged their energy, and waited for the fire attack in the middle of the night. Japanese pirates.

  At this moment, when the Ming army was recharging its energy, the Japanese pirates had already set up ten rafts in a hidden room in the courtyard occupied by the Japanese pirates. This wooden building is made of solid wood, wooden doors, tables and chairs, etc., are full of raw materials for making rafts. The Japanese pirates made ten simple rafts without any effort.

   One watch, it was pitch black, and there was complete silence.

  The second watch, the sky is getting darker! Except for the 800 Ming troops on duty, the rest of the Ming troops fell asleep.

  Both Liu Zhifu and Xu Qianhu did not sleep, they watched the direction of the courtyard while waiting for the third watch.

  At this moment, there is no light in the courtyard occupied by Japanese pirates.

   "Hehe, Prefect Liu, I think the Japanese pirates are already asleep." Xu Qianhu looked at the dark courtyard from a distance, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled.

   "It should be." Liu Zhifu smiled and nodded.

  However, just as they finished speaking, they heard the sound of killing from the back of the courtyard, and screams and crying fathers and mothers came from the Ming army camp on the east side of the river, and then saw the flames soaring into the sky, and it was all red!

"what happened?!"

  The faces of Liu Zhifu and Xu Qianhu changed drastically at the same time, as if struck by thunder.

  Japanese pirates!

  The Japanese pirates came out of the courtyard!

**** it!

  How did the Japanese pirates stand out? ! Obediently wait until the third watch, won't you be attacked by us? !

and also!

  How did the Japanese pirates raid the east! To the east is the wide and deep Qishui River. Would Japanese pirates want to throw themselves into the river? !

   Liu Zhifu and Xu Qianhu were shocked, anxious and confused, and hurriedly mobilized the army to support the Ming army in the east.

However, when they hastily assembled their support forces, and before they started to move, they saw a **** general of the Ming army coming to report, "Report, the Japanese pirates came out from the east wall and raided our army, killing more than two hundred of our army. Go across the river on a raft."

  Crossing the river on a raft? !

  When Liu Zhifu heard the news, his eyes went dark, the sky turned dizzy, and he fell to the ground.
