In the Ming army formation, Li Zhen looked at the chaotic Japanese pirates with disdain in her eyes.
It is said that the Japanese pirates are extremely fierce in combat. I thought today would be a tough battle, but that’s all they have?
Seeing that the opponent was fleeing in all directions, he decisively ordered to stop shooting.
"Everyone, bayonets on!"
With so many people, it would be difficult to chase them if they ran away.
After the order was conveyed, the Three Thousand Battalion stopped firing. Everyone took out the three-edged dagger from their waists and put it on the slot at the muzzle with a click.
When Yuzo Kojima saw the Ming army suddenly change their tactics and charge forward with flintlock guns, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Although he didn't know why the Ming army gave up long-range firepower, maybe it was because they really ran out of ammunition, or maybe it was for other reasons, in short, his opportunity had come!
He pursed his lips tightly, and the grievance he had just felt was gone. However, he did not act easily, but was very calm.
Holding the knife in both hands, he watched the Ming army approaching, and the overwhelming momentum made him unable to breathe...
In the blink of an eye, the opponent's vanguard is already close at hand!
A trace of murderous intent flashed across Kojima Yu's eyes, here we come!
His sword is faster than the wind, and he can beheaded with just one strike.
He started to move, moving like a rabbit.
Staring at the few Ming soldiers rushing at the front, a smile subconsciously appeared on his lips, because these people were about to become the dead souls of his sword.
"Kill!"
In the blink of an eye, the long knife in Kojima Yuzo's hand flashed with cold light, as fast as lightning...
Dang!
At this critical moment, his knife seemed to hit something hard.
It turned out that the opponent used a firecracker to block his own attack.
Kojima Yuzo clearly felt that the opponent was very strong, and the fire gun was very strange. It was made of pure iron.
He had also seen a fire gun. The firing end was made of fine iron, but the handle was made of wood.
If the handle of the gun is made of fine iron, it will undoubtedly add a lot of burden to the gunman, and it will be of no use at all.
Therefore, when he drew his sword, he aimed at the opponent's gun handle.
According to his expectation, this knife would cut off the opponent's gun handle and throat at the same time, but...
Poof!
Poof!
Just as the opponent opened his own knife with a fire blunderbuss, the two men on the left and right raised their spears at the same time and stabbed out, and then they only felt a chill in their sides!
It was a biting coldness, as if I had fallen from the human world to hell.
I'm falling into the wind and killing flowers...why...
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
Kojima Yuzo felt that his whole body had lost all strength, and his body slowly collapsed. The Ming soldiers did not even bother to look at him, and continued to charge forward with their bayonets raised.
They didn't seem to know that the person lying next to them was the famous Yuzo Kojima, because they couldn't see there was another person under their feet, but when they stepped on it... they felt a little soft...
Kojima Yusan was stabbed in the ribs, but he did not die. He clearly felt that after being trampled by countless people, the bones all over his body made a cracking sound...
I...my bones...
Before completely losing consciousness, he suddenly realized that, in fact, he knew nothing about the Ming army.
A Ming soldier accidentally stepped on the wound on his left rib. Kojima Yuzo couldn't help but snorted, red blood gushed out of his mouth, and his body twitched reflexively.
The man only glanced at it, as if he was surprised to find someone alive, then he raised his bayonet and stabbed it hard!
After completing this action, continue to rush forward.
Kojima Yuzo felt that life was passing quickly. At this moment, he had only one thought...
Why?
Why?
Why is this?
This is probably what the so-called "die with eyes in peace" means...
Like tigers descending from a mountain, three thousand Ming troops rushed into the Japanese pirate formation. What followed was a unilateral massacre.
The orthodox Type 15 rifle with bayonet is roughly one and a half meters long, while the Japanese sword is only about half a meter long, and the longest one is no more than one meter.
Many times, the opponent has already been stabbed with several bloody holes by the three-edged dagger before he even gets close.
What's more, the Three Thousand Battalion is the main force trained by Zhu Qizhen himself. It is the best among the best, and its combat effectiveness is completely different from the officers and soldiers the Japanese pirates face on a daily basis.
Li Zhen looked at the one-sided battlefield and couldn't help but sigh: "It's not worthy of its name and vulnerable to a single blow!"
This is not intentional ridicule, but damn, I hear people bragging about how powerful the Japanese pirates are all day long, they are so powerful!
I thought there would be a fierce battle tonight, and we could fight it to the fullest.
The Three Thousand Battalion has been preparing for this battle for a long time.
Since returning from Mobei, the emperor has started preparations. All three thousand battalions have been replaced by the orthodox fifteen-style, and targeted training has been carried out.
The soldiers have been practicing this kind of assassination for two months.
Every day, practice an action hundreds of times, a thousand times, ten thousand times...
Move forward, raise your gun, and thrust out.
Go forward again, thrust out again!
Such a simple and boring action has been deeply ingrained in the bones of everyone in the Three Thousand Battalion.
However, a seemingly ordinary action caused the Japanese pirates to wail and cry for their fathers and mothers.
I thought it was a tough battle, but now it seems that it is really vulnerable!
In fact, the reason why people are afraid of Japanese pirates is because Japanese pirates are desperate and very cruel.
And because the Ming army was becoming increasingly lax, the guards in the south of the Yangtze River were no longer as brave as they once were.
But in terms of physical strength and combat effectiveness, or the ability to cooperate in combat, when the Japanese pirates encountered the regular army of the imperial court, they actually did not have an advantage.
They are just a group of thieves in Xuanguhai, can they really have enough to eat?
The scary thing about Japanese pirates is that they are not afraid of death and dare to rush forward. Especially when fighting, they usually use some wandering warriors from the Japanese country as vanguards, and these people play the role of sharp knives.
Most of these people are good at martial arts and are not afraid of death.
As the saying goes, those who are soft are afraid of those who are hard, and those who are hard are afraid of their lives.
The army of the imperial court is nothing more than a piece of food. Everyone has his own little calculation in his heart. If he loses his life just for a piece of food, it is really not worth it.
But the Japanese pirates risked their lives to eat.
Therefore, whenever these wandering warriors like dead warriors launched a charge, most of the time, they were able to defeat the Ming army in one go.
fo
Little did they know that the Ming army today was completely different from what they saw in ordinary times.
Whether it's long-distance shooting or close combat, the fighting power of this named is so strong that it makes people desperate.
I saw them scattered and orderly, one by one like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, holding firecrackers and stabbing them randomly.
If you look carefully, you will find that this casual movement is definitely not random stabbing.
The angle, force, and direction of each assassination are almost exactly the same.
Japanese pirates continue to fall, like wheat being harvested.
The scene was almost a one-sided massacre.
The Japanese pirates finally realized why they didn't run away just now?
I don’t know who shouted something, indicating that the army had no ammunition. Everyone thought they would go back and fight, but now they found that facing this army, they had no chance or chance of winning.
They also tried to adopt some tactics, such as frontal attraction, side detours, or small groups of troops to bypass the rear, but they all failed in the end.
Under the crushing force of absolute strength, any tactics and tactics have become ineffective.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
No matter how brave the Japanese pirates are, they are nothing but a piece of loose sand. They have already suffered heavy casualties in the face of firecrackers, and now they show off their cannons... But by the way, where are the cannons?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter.
No more fighting, surrender...
When the last bit of will in their hearts was exhausted, everyone chose to give up their weapons and wait for the Ming army's disposal.
Li Zhen looked at these so-called ferocious Japanese pirates with a dark face. They were all sallow and thin, no different from refugees.
He didn't understand, how could these people disturb the peace along the eastern coast of Ming Dynasty?
"Spare my life, my lord, spare your life!"
A Japanese pirate, about thirty years old, was kneeling at Li Zhen's feet, his whole body covered in wounds and trembling.
The clothes he wears don't fit well, seem to be very small, and have a strange style. If you look carefully, you will find that they are women's clothes.
Li Zhen knelt down and asked, "Are you Han?"
The man hurriedly said: "Yes, little Jiang Weishen is... from Zhenjiang. Later, when he had no way of living, he went... to the sea..."
"Why is there no way to survive?"
"The Yangtze River floods, the small family fields are flooded, and then... there is no way to survive..."
Li Zhen grabbed his collar, looked at it, and asked, "Are these women's clothes?"
Jiang Weishen swallowed and said, "Yes...yes!"
Li Zhen looked extremely ugly and asked slowly: "How is the owner of this dress doing?"
"She...she..."
Jiang Weishen's face turned pale, as if he had thought of that woman's fate, and his eyes were full of horror.
The Japanese pirates raped, plundered, and committed all kinds of evil, and that woman...the results can be imagined.
"Just tell me how she died?"
Jiang Weishen said tremblingly: "She... she... was... raped by more than a dozen people..."
Li Zhen immediately understood that these Japanese pirates were worse than animals.
"Come here!"
Li Zhen gave the order, and two soldiers immediately came forward.
"Sir, spare my life, my lord!"
Jiang Weishen seemed to realize something. He lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy.
Li Zhen stood up and said: "Cut off this man's limbs and throw them into the sea!"
"Yes!"
"Spare my life, please forgive me..."
Li Zhen took a deep breath and said: "When you were violent to her, did you ever think that this day would happen?"
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"Be kind?" Li Zhen sneered, "Before she died, she must have asked you to be kind, right?"
"Please...please...ah!"
A lung-splitting howl sounded, and a soldier slashed with a knife. One of Jiang Weishen's arms was cut off, and blood spurted out.
This soldier had also seen big scenes, and he used his sword one after another to cut off all Jiang Weishen's limbs.
Jiang Weishen couldn't bear such a crime. He rolled his eyes and fainted from the pain.
Immediately afterwards, the soldier grabbed his hair and dragged him into the sea.
"Ah——"
Jiang Weishen woke up from his coma. At this moment, he seemed to feel that his soul was being torn apart.
If there is a hell, then the punishments in the eighteen levels of hell are nothing more than this!
After Li Zhen has dealt with Jiang Weishen, it's time to face the problem of prisoners.
"Sir, my subordinates have made a rough estimate. There are about 3,000 Japanese prisoners. How should we deal with them?"
Li Zhen glanced at the prisoners at the scene. In principle, if there was a war, the prisoners would not be killed.
For example, if two countries are at war and the enemy on the battlefield surrenders and does not fight, it can be dealt with accordingly.
However, the situation of these people is completely different. The evil they have done is not just a matter of throwing away their weapons.
After just one thought, I made my decision.
"There is no need for prisoners in this battle!"
"Yes!"
The Three Thousand Battalion never asked why the commander's orders were given, but obeyed them unconditionally.
Next, the sounds of wailing, begging for mercy, and crying... the beautiful beach turned into a hell on earth.
The sea water has been dyed red, blending into the morning glow on the horizon.
