Rise From the Humble

  When Zhu Ping'an was in the dense forest and valley, Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates were heading eastward on the river.

   "Order the ship to slow down."

  Xu Hai stood behind the bow of the ship and stared at it, but still did not find any traces of the Ming army, and the place where the ambush army was located in the rear was also quiet, and he ordered again unwillingly.

  After Xu Hai's order was issued, the Japanese pirate fleet slowed down again and moved at a turtle speed on the river.

   In this way, after walking slowly for about a stick of incense, the rear was still quiet and there was no movement.

   "I thought that the surnamed Zhu was a courageous and resourceful person. Even if he didn't lead the army to pursue him, he would send people to pursue him. I didn't expect that I was wrong. He was also courageous and stayed in the city without coming out."

  Chen Dong shook his head and sighed in disappointment.

"The man surnamed Zhu is scheming. I admit this. Our trip fell short, and it was his fault. As for being brave, I didn't see this. He is just a scholar, and even if he is proficient in military affairs, he is also a weak scholar. How to stand up bravely. He dare not go out of the city to chase after him, but he agrees with his characteristics of a weak scholar. If you let Zhu Pingan fight with me, I will cut off his dog's head within three moves!"

  Ma Ye stood side by side with Chen Dong and Xu Hai. She had a deep resentment towards Zhu Ping'an, and slandered Zhu Ping'an for being cunning and courageous.

"Actually, this is also within my expectation. The surname Zhu has already earned enough credit this time. There is no need to go out of the city to take risks. For him, if he wins the chase out of the city, it is just icing on the cake. The merit of letting him get it is greatly reduced. If it were me, I would make the same choice. It’s just a pity, and I want to pay back before leaving.” Xu Hai sighed for a long time, and said disappointedly.

   "Brother Xu, it's nothing. The future is long, and there will always be a time to reciprocate." Chen Dong patted Xu Hai on the shoulder.

   "That's right, let him look good sooner or later!" Ma Ye also said.

   "That's right, what Brother Chen and Brother Ma said is true, today's enmity will be rewarded tomorrow!" Xu Hai nodded.

   "Ambush Erlang, do you want them to withdraw?" Chen Dong asked, the elite Japanese pirates had been ambushing in the rear for almost two hours, and it seemed that the Ming army had no courage to chase after them.

  After hearing Chen Dong's question, Xu Hai waved his hand without thinking, rejecting Chen Dong's idea.

"Don't worry, just let them continue to ambush. Maybe the surname Zhu wants to wait until we are far away and safe, and then go out of the city to pretend to chase us, that is, to have an armed parade, so that he can also get a chase and drive us away. The credit may be there. Are there not many examples of Ming people doing this?"

   "If the person surnamed Zhu has this idea, hehe, it's just a surprise for him."

  Xu Hai laughed as he spoke.

  He really hoped that Zhu Ping'an would have this idea, so that he could take revenge.

  So, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.

   Therefore, when Chen Dong asked whether to withdraw the ambush Japanese pirates, he would so decisively reject it.

"Send an order to let the lurking elite continue to ambush until sunset. If the Ming people still haven't chased after the sun sets, let them withdraw. During the period, you must give me a good ambush, and don't make any noise. Don't move around, just like a dead person, don't move at all, if someone exposes the traces and scares away the bright people, don't blame me for being cruel!"

  In order to prevent the ambushing Japanese pirates from losing their patience, Xu Hai sent someone to give them another order.

  Strictly order them to continue ambush.

   It can be said that Xu Hai's order was very timely. When the Japanese pirates were ordered to run all the way to the Japanese pirates' ambush area, the Japanese pirates in ambush were no longer serious at the beginning, and became lazy and careless.

  The ambush area chosen by the Japanese pirates is just where the shore road must pass. There is a hill here, and on the hill is a dense forest without even a trail. If you chase along the river to Taicang, you must pass this avenue.

  The Japanese pirates were ordered to walk along the avenue to the latent area, and the Japanese pirates who were in charge of guarding the latent area found his trace.

   Obviously slack.

   The messenger Japanese pirate still remembers the first time he came to pass the order today. It wasn’t long before these elites were in ambush here. He was still two miles away from the ambush area, and the vigilant Japanese pirates found his trace.

   Now here, we are almost at the ambush area, only to find out that it is not slack, but it is what it is.

When they arrived in the ambush area, the messengers found that the pirates inside were even more slack. Less than half of the pirates were decent, and most of the other pirates were shameless. Weak experience, when it comes to the excitement, the eyebrows are beaming; there are also Japanese pirates who are drinking peanuts for themselves, and they are already half drunk; there are still sleeping in the grass, snoring everywhere

   "Yaoxi, but the boss wants us to go back to the ship? It's too cold today, I waited for more than two hours in vain, and my brothers are frozen hard"

"Stupid Matsui, it must be. We have been drinking the cold wind here for two hours. If the Ming army came after them, they would have chased them a long time ago. If they haven't come yet, it means that the Ming army has no courage to chase them. Wait any longer. It's no use either."

   When a group of lurking Japanese pirates saw that the warning Japanese pirates were coming with the messenger Japanese pirates, they started talking in a hurry.

  This is the twelfth lunar month of winter, lurking here, the cold wind is biting, how can it be more comfortable than being in the cabin.

   "Ba Ga! Thanks to you, you are still elite! Look at what you have become! Are you an ambush?! Who told you to drink, the smell of wine can travel half a mile with the wind, aren't you exposing yourself?!"

"Leader Xu has an order to continue ambush until the sun goes down. If the Ming people haven't chased you, you can retreat. The leaders will leave ten ships for you in Taicang. During the ambush, you must act like dead people. Also lurk well, if someone exposes his tracks, the leader will kill you to sacrifice the flag!"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, the leaders failed to take down Suzhou City, and they are holding back their stomachs. If you touch the bad luck of the leaders, you will definitely die without a place to die. I can assure you of this! If you If anyone wants to try it, it is best to leave a last word in advance."

  The Japanese pirates were ordered to pull up a banner to make tiger skins, and in the name of Xu Hai and others, after teaching the hidden Japanese pirates a lesson, Xu Hai's order was conveyed.

  Although the ambush of the Japanese pirates is somewhat disapproving, after all, as the Japanese pirates ordered, the Suzhou Raiders failed, and the leaders are all suffocating and have nowhere to vent their anger. They dare not touch the bad luck of the leaders.

   One by one, they lay in ambush seriously, not daring to chat, not sleeping, not to mention drinking.
