I came with a look of surprise on my face: "Cao Tai actually asked you to save me? Not only save me, but also save them all?"
…
…
Cao Tai actually had no intention of rescuing me alone at first. My identity was unknown and I was a foreigner. The commanders from Yunxi to the various guard posts did not trust him, even those registered in the Ming Dynasty.
I am a military attaché of the fourth rank who is in charge of military affairs. If I die under his command, it would be an additional crime for him. But if he sends someone to rescue me, he will lose many more soldiers, which is to him
It is said that the gain outweighs the loss.
But Cao Tai later changed his mind and decided to rescue me and even all the remaining Fusang people.
When I came to lead more than 2,000 Fusang people to fight with 5,000 Annan elites, Cao Tai, who was watching the battle with a telescope on the beach, was stunned. When they exercised with these Fusang people before, they had 2,000 ordinary people.
The soldiers formed a large formation but defeated more than two thousand Fusang people. Therefore, he, He Rong and others thought that although these Fusang people were highly skilled in martial arts, they were of little use on a battlefield with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops.
But when he actually arrived on the battlefield, he realized the power of these Fuso people. Compared with the real battlefield, the 'drills' invented by Yunxi were just playing tricks. Most of the time on the real battlefield,
It is impossible for both sides to maintain a dense formation. The most important thing is the cooperation of a few people, just like the cooperation of the Qi family army in groups of ten in history.
And because of the war situation in Fusang, this happens to be what the Fusang people are best at; in addition, they are proficient in martial arts and very decisive, even if they are facing Shura Hell, they are not afraid at all, so for a while they actually fought against Annan, who was much more numerous than them.
The elite fight is evenly matched!
Cao Tai immediately remembered what their Emperor had emphasized more than once: Use more barbarian soldiers in battles, especially barbarians with strong combat capabilities. The Han people should use them wisely and don't be afraid of rewarding the barbarians too much in the future.
The Fuso warriors are the ‘barbarian soldiers’ who fit Yunxi’s ideas very well.
Although Cao Tai did not have much research on the history of Fusang, he also understood that Fusang could not be filled with people with such strong martial arts skills. If that were the case, they would have sent troops to the Central Plains long ago. Only people with noble status can find so many warriors from Fusang.
So Cao Tai came up with the idea of rescuing me. Fusang is different from the barbarians in the southwest. It is an independent country. If the current monarch of Fusang is recruited, let’s not say whether they are willing. Even if they are willing, they are not like real barbarians.
The soldiers can be used however they want; now, I am the only one who can lead the warriors from Fusang to join the Ming Dynasty and serve the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in order to be able to redeem himself and perform meritorious service, he must save me.
'If Your Majesty knew that the Fuso warriors were so good at fighting, he would definitely be happy.' Cao Tai thought.
He then ordered Wang Hongming, one of the Thousand Elephant Guards, to lead his troops to rescue me.
But Luo Shenzhen didn't know why he went crazy, and he wanted to personally lead a team to rescue me.
Of course Cao Tai didn't want to. Although Luo Shenzhen is now a meritorious official, he is also a registered commander of the Ming Dynasty and a third-grade military attache. If there is a slight mistake and he is killed here, his sin will be huge.
But Luo Shenzhen insisted on leading troops to rescue people, and Cao Tai had no time to argue with him, so he had to agree and let him lead two thousand Han troops to rescue me.
It's not that Cao Tai didn't want to use other troops to rescue him, but at this time, there were not only the 5,000 Annam elites on the battlefield. After he gathered all the more than 16,000 Han people in the three guards, there were another 10,000 Annam.
The soldiers rushed over. Although they were not elites, it was still very easy to defeat the wolf soldiers and other barbarian soldiers in this situation. Although a small group of about a few hundred barbarians fled into the mountains and forests, it did not affect the overall situation. He had no choice but to defeat the wolf soldiers and other barbarian soldiers.
If the Han army does not send a guard to fight the Annan people, it is hard to say how many of the guards can be withdrawn. He can only use the Han army and I will do it.
…
…
I don't know what Cao Tai was thinking, but at this time, his doubts were just a passing thought and were immediately forgotten.
Kusunoki Fangze had already died in order to let him die a little later. At this moment, whether it was for Kusunoki Fangze's last wish, for the lives of these samurai who were still alive, or for other things, he had no time to think about other things. He
The only thing I think about now is: 'Stay alive and live with the warriors who follow me.'
Kitabi Genshin led the few warriors who still had strength and rushed forward with the best martial arts men from Luo Shenzhen, intending to fight back through the road they had just killed.
But how could the Annan people easily let them get their wish? Now that part of the Ming army has boarded the ship, even if Hu Hancang orders to fire at the seaside, it will be difficult to stop them. They are destined to be unable to completely annihilate these Ming troops, but it is better to cut off one of their ten fingers.
, these people who are still surrounded by them must stay!
Many Annan soldiers, whether under Hu Hancang's order or spontaneously, gave up the fight with the Han troops at the guard station in front of them. Only a few were left on guard, and most of them came to besiege me and others.
Cao Tai also discovered this situation, gritted his teeth and sent two more soldiers from Qianhu to respond. However, the Annan people's siege became more and more urgent.
…
…
Luo Shenzhen slashed the Annan soldier across from him with the knife in his hand, from his shoulder to his lungs, then kicked the man and pulled out the knife.
But at this moment he heard a "Sir, be careful". Luo Shenzhen turned his head hurriedly and saw an Annan soldier less than three feet away from him, waving a spear and seeming to attack him, but
His bodyguard sacrificed his life to stop him, and the shot struck the bodyguard who had just warned him.
Luo Shenzhen's eyes were split open. This guard had been following him since he graduated from the martial arts school. The two of them had a deep relationship and were like brothers. When he saw his brother being killed, he lost his mind for a moment and brandished a knife.
He rushed over and split the Annan soldier in half from head to toe.
But because of this, his door was wide open, and almost at the same time he split the man in half, another gun pierced his waist from the side, and even his other guards had no time to fill the gap.
