Guanhaiwei's camp is twenty miles east of Ningbo Prefecture. In the middle of the night, the war drums were beating and the sound of cannons were deaf. To put it exaggeratedly, even deaf people could hear it.

At this moment, Hua Wu, commander of Guanhaiwei, commander Zhang Jun and other military officers stood outside the tent wearing straw raincoats, looking towards the direction of Ningbo Prefecture with a look of surprise.

The group of refugees sleeping in the open near Guanhaiwei Camp were also awakened and gathered together to whisper.

At this time, a thousand households under Huawu swallowed their saliva and said with difficulty: "The sound of cannons is so fierce. Could it be that Mao Haifeng wants to take down Ningbo Prefecture before Governor Xu's reinforcements arrive, so he launched a fierce attack overnight?"

Commander Zhang Jun nodded seriously and said, "It's probably true. With this movement, Mao Haifeng probably has come out in full swing. Xia Yan is afraid that it will be in trouble. I will not be able to send someone to break through and ask us for help later."

"What should we do? Should we save it or not?" Hou Renjie, the deputy commander of Guanhaiwei, said in a lost voice.

As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone looked at the commander Hua Wu. They deliberately sent hundreds of people to the near Ningbo Prefecture in the first half of the night tonight to bluff, with the purpose of covering up their own passive and lazy war. But if Xia Yan sent someone to ask for help at this time, if they did not send troops, it would be really unreasonable. Moreover, once the governor of Zhizhe, Xu Jin, pursued him, everyone would be in trouble.

Commander Hua Wu couldn't help but frown. He didn't want to fight against Mao Haifeng, under Wang Zhi's command. First, Mao Haifeng is powerful, with nearly 20,000 people under his command, and also equipped a musket team. Second, he intends to preserve his strength and leave a way out for himself.

However, Ningbo Prefecture is in danger at this moment. If Xia Yan sends someone to break through to ask for help, and if he doesn't help him again, he will probably lose his mind. It is said that Xu Jin, the governor of Zhizhe, is a cruel person, and he was nicknamed Xu Behead. He killed everyone in Shandong the previous year.

Hua Wu hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to send more than a dozen scattered horses to investigate Xushi. If the Changguo Guard and Shaoxing Guard send troops, he would decisively send troops to rescue him. If the other two guards did not move, he would not move. After all, the law would not blame the masses. Can he even cut off all the generals of the three guards after being beaten to death?

At that moment, more than a dozen explorers rode out of Guanhaiwei Camp with torches and headed towards Ningbo Prefecture City, while Hua Wu and others continued to stand in front of the tent waiting for the news.

Twenty miles were not far away, and it took less than half an hour to ride a horse, so soon a probe came back to report. The spy, whether excited or injured, fell when he ran into the camp and fell off the horse. Then he rolled and crawled to the military officers and stuttered: "Big...a big victory, a big victory!"

The military officers of Guanhaiwei were confused. This guy was crazy about gaining and losing his mind, right? Just the tens of thousands or hundreds of remaining soldiers under Xia Yan's command would be good enough to defend the city, and it would be a big victory?

The spy turned red with his face and said excitedly: "Governor General, it's Governor General, it's Governor General, you're here. A big victory, a big victory!"

"What!" The guards of the sea guards shouted in unison, and then everyone's faces changed and turned into a dead gray.

Hua Wu grabbed the spy's collar and asked with a ferocious look: "Don't you bet on your mother, don't Xu Jin arrive tomorrow afternoon?"

The spy was so scared that his neck tightened and said, "It's really the Governor General. Now the Dragon Banner, which was ordered to be sent to the imperial envoy, and the Governor General's banner are inserted on the head of Ningbo Prefecture. My subordinates will never misread it!"

Hua Wu was instantly feeling like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head, and a chill instantly rushed from his spine to the back of his head, making his heart and lungs full!

Since Xu Jin's commander flag and the imperial envoy's dragon flag both appeared at the city center of Ningbo, it must be Xu Jin himself. Even if Xia Yan had ten courage, he would not dare to use it. Xu Jin suddenly arrived, but he did not notify Guanhaiwei. What does this mean?

The more Hua Wu thought about it, the more scared he became, and his face became extremely ugly. Guan Haiwei and other military officers also looked at each other with a stern look, feeling nervous!

At this time, several more horses returned to the camp to report, and the information they received was more detailed. It can be confirmed that the governor of Zhizhe, Xu Jin, was now in Ningbo Prefecture City, and Shaoxing Guards also participated in the war, and they broke through the two large camps of the pirates in one fell swoop. Now the troops on both sides are fighting decisively under the city.

After hearing the horse-detective report, Hua Wu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and said in a hurry: "Go to explore again, you must see clearly whether Changguowei has gone to fight?"

Hua Wu was completely panicked at this time and did not want to send troops to remedy immediately. He actually wanted to "find an organization" because if Changguowei had no soldiers, it means that the Governor also did not notify Changguowei, and it was not specifically targeting Guanhaiwei.

At this time, Changguo Guard, stationed twenty miles southwest of Ningbo Prefecture, also heard the news that the Governor had arrived. The commander of Changguo Guard Lu Yang was much smarter and immediately ordered troops without hesitation and rushed to Ningbo Prefecture. As a result, he met the messenger sent by Xu Jin halfway.

After Lu Yang learned that Governor Xu had defeated more than 20,000 pirates besieged Ningbo Prefecture, he couldn't help but be shocked, so he didn't dare to neglect him. He immediately implemented Xu Jin's pursuit order and quickly turned around to pursue the defeated army led by Mao Haifeng. At the same time, he sent a light cavalry as a vanguard, not seeking great achievements, but only seeking some minor achievements to compensate for the crime.

Compared with the actions of Changguowei, Guanhaiwei was much slower. It was not until Xu Jin's messenger arrived and commander Hua Wu ordered troops to pursue him.

Perhaps God wanted to give Hua Wu a chance to make up for his achievements. Although the Guanhaiwei sent troops slowly, they actually encountered a fleeing pirate. There were about eight or nine hundred pirates, and they probably got separated from the main force. In a panic, they actually rushed to Guanhaiwei's camp.

Hua Wu was surprised and happy, and immediately ordered to cover up the killing. After all, there were only eight or nine hundred people on the other side, and there were more than 4,000 people on his side, which was five times the advantage of military strength. If you don’t believe it, you can’t win.

Hey, I really can't win!

Speaking of which, more than half of this pirate team of eight or nine hundred people were Japanese pirates, and the leader was Saburo Hinamae, who was a samurai from Japan's Hinamae country.

As the saying goes, the dog is desperate to jump over the wall. This alone Japanese pirates are eager to escape. Suddenly they meet Guanhaiwei on a narrow road. The strong desire to survive has aroused their ferociousness. So when they meet, Guanhaiwei's amateur soldiers were killed and they are timid. They are afraid after less than two cups of tea. They throw hundreds of corpses and flee back to the camp crying and crying for their parents.
