Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1466 Long sigh

   After another day passed, Zhu Pingan received a Tang newspaper again during the training break.

  Zhu Ping'an unfolded the pond newspaper and glanced at it, and then couldn't help sighing.

Ugh.

  Yesterday’s Tang Bao recorded that Cai Dianshi led a thousand soldiers and carried the coffin out of the city to suppress the Japanese. Today’s Tang Bao already has the results of this time.

The more than 1,100 soldiers and horses led by Cai Dianshi, after fighting the Japanese pirates, collapsed instantly like a flock of sheep encountering a tiger. More than 1,100 soldiers and horses threw away their helmets and armor and ran away. Eighty members of the same family fought with Cai Dianshi and never retreated. In the end, Cai Dianshi was stabbed and died, and all the eighty members of the same family died in battle.

  The Japanese pirates did not come unscathed in this battle. Cai Dianshi and his whole clan killed three Japanese pirates and severely wounded several others.

  If I succeed, the coffin will be filled with the heads of Japanese pirates. I will use the heads of Japanese pirates to pay homage to the spirits of my fathers and fellow villagers. If I fail and die on the battlefield, please put me in the coffin and bring me back.

  Cai Dianshi's oath still reverberates in Nine Heavens.

  Cai Dianshi did not live up to his oath, he did what he said, and finally died in the line of duty and died in battle.

However, the sad and ironic thing is that because more than a thousand soldiers and horses under his command fled, no one could put him in the coffin and carry him back; Dianshi's body was put in a coffin, carried to Jingde County, and placed outside the city for the burial of Cai Dianshi's family.

Of course, the Japanese pirates did not let go of Jingde County, which was empty, panicked, and unguarded. One by one torches burned all the Jingde county government office and nearby residential buildings.

  The county magistrate and county magistrate of Jingde County hid in the dung bucket of the county government to escape the pirates and the fire, and saved their lives.

  Tang Bao finally recorded that the Japanese pirates burned the Jingde county government office. After burning, killing and looting in Jingde County, they appeared in Jing County of Ningguo Prefecture and looted a village in Jingde County.

  The Japanese pirates appeared in Jing County.

  Jing County? !

  Zhu Ping'an's keen nerves were touched instantly, Jing County, this place is in the north of Jingde County. This direction... Zhu Pingan slightly raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully, squatted on the ground, picked up a branch, and drew a map on the ground.

  Zhu Pingan marked the places that the Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu have looted since they landed, including Shangyu, Changhua County, Yuqian County, Xi County, Jixi County, Jingde County, Jing County, etc., according to their geographical location. Speaking of drawing maps, it is estimated that no one in this era can surpass Zhu Pingan. Zhu Pingan comes from modern times. I don’t know how many streets the modern map surpasses the ancient map. The map of the whole of China is in Zhu Pingan’s mind. chest. Soon, the map was drawn, and the marching trajectory of the Japanese pirates suddenly appeared on the paper, clearly visible and clear at a glance.

It can be seen from the map that after the Japanese pirates landed in Shangyu, they went northward to the Qiantang River and started their first turn. They unexpectedly turned westward, went deep into the inland, and went westward to Jixi County, and then appeared again. Second turn. The Japanese pirates plundered Jingde County from Jixi County yesterday. This turn is not obvious. Now that the Japanese pirates have appeared in Jing County, this turn is obvious from the map. The Japanese pirates have turned from west to east.

  The pirates turned to the north.

  Why didn't the Japanese pirates continue to go westward and penetrate into the hinterland? Why did it turn to the north?

  Which places further north?

Zhu Pingan added the administrative divisions of the northern counties on the map one by one. To the north of Ningguo Prefecture is Taiping Prefecture. Taiping Prefecture governs Wuhu County, Dangtu County, and Fanchang County. Further north of Taiping Prefecture is Yingtian Prefecture. .

  Ying Tianfu? !

  This group of Japanese pirates will never attack Peidu Yingtian like the group of fifty Japanese pirates in history? !

impossible!

  In history, there was only one time in history when Japanese pirates attacked Accompanied Capital Yingtian! Yingtian is not a small county, but a huge city. Yingtian's garrison is not like a county town with only a few hundred garrisons, but Yingtian's garrison is more than a hundred thousand. Judging from the fact that this group of pirates set up an ambush and made a surprise attack, they are also brave and resourceful, and they will not be so stupid as to kill themselves.

   This group of Japanese pirates should turn north when they go north to Taiping Mansion at most. Zhu Pingan came to this conclusion after deduction.

   In this way, Zhu Pingan trained the Zhejiang Army while paying close attention to the next move of the Japanese pirates.

   Two days later, Zhu Pingan received another Tang newspaper.

  The last Tang Bao recorded that the Japanese pirates who landed in Shangyu invaded Jing County, and this Tang Bao recorded that Qiu Shiyong, the magistrate of Jing County, led 800 troops to chase the Japanese pirates in Di Tang. After the Japanese pirates burned, killed and looted all over Ditang, they were confident and did not leave, but rested arrogantly, as if they had made a special trip to wait for Qiu Shiyong to lead troops to suppress the Japanese. Qiu Shiyong led his troops to kill them, and the Japanese pirates waited for work with ease. They fought in Ditang, and after some fighting, Qiu Shiyong lost to the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates were almost unscathed in this battle, only a few Japanese pirates suffered some injuries.

  After the Japanese pirates defeated Qiu Shiyong, they burned, killed and looted in Jing County, and then continued northward from Jing County, aiming directly at Nanling County.

Hu Guangyao, the magistrate of Nanling County, took precautions when Japanese pirates entered Jing County. He sent people to ask for reinforcements, and asked for help from the nearby Jianyang Guard Commander Miao Yin, Dangtu County, Wuhu County, and Taiping Prefecture. , while sending Nanling County Prime Minister Mo Cheng to lead three hundred troops to stand firm on the boundary mountain between Nanling County and Jing County. This boundary mountain is the boundary mountain between Nanling and Jing County, and it is also a natural pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

  Mo Cheng led 300 people to guard the boundary mountain, occupied the natural dangerous pass, and sniped a hundred Japanese pirates. The goal was to prevent the Japanese pirates from entering Nanling County through the boundary mountain.

   This goal should not be difficult. There is no need to fight the Japanese pirates in the field. You only need to occupy the natural danger, hold the pass, and prevent the Japanese pirates from passing through.

However, it is a pity that Mo Xiancheng is greedy for life and afraid of death. After the Japanese pirates repeated their tricks, hanging the heads of Jingxian officers and soldiers on their waists, and came to the pass aggressively to attack the pass, Mo Xiancheng saw the heads on the Japanese pirates' waists. Unable to help the two battles, an uncontrollable yellow current gushed out in between, and then took the lead, and with lightning speed, left the soldiers and horses under his command, and ran away. Soldiers raging one after another, the magistrate Mo Xian ran away, and the three hundred soldiers and horses under his command also ran away with Sa Yazi.

  In an instant, Boundary Mountain became an undefended empty pass, stripped naked, and lay flat.

  Once again, the Japanese pirates took down a pass in Daming without any effort, without hurting a single soldier, successfully passed the boundary mountain, and entered Nanling County smoothly.
