Chapter 46: Pig-like teammates
What do you mean not to be afraid of having opponents like gods, but to be afraid of teammates like pigs?
That's it!
After looking at the Japanese pirates slowly approaching outside the city, he looked down at the Ming army led by Lu Bin under the city wall who was about to leave the city to kill the enemy. Qian Yuan was so angry that his teeth were itchy.
He always had the lowest level in the Ming army's officer system, but he was often old-fashioned. Lu Bin was too naughty and was encouraged by Gui Youguang's words to go out of the city to face the enemy head-on.
County Magistrate Hu could not count on it anymore. The big families in the city had different opinions. The county magistrate and Dian Li felt that they had a lot of hope. After all, there were only more than 100 Japanese pirates outside, and only two people clearly opposed it, Qian Yuan and Zheng Ruozeng.
They all knew very well that even if they had the possibility of defeating the Japanese pirates outside the city, they should not take this risk. As long as they guard the city gate, the possibility of the Japanese pirates breaking the city is very small.
But Gui Youguang's fame disintegrated their efforts. One was a great scholar in the world, the other two were Qian Yuan, who was utterly unemployed and vagrant Zheng Ruozeng, who was currently in a state of unemployed vagrants, would the gentry hear about those officials from literati and officials?
After looking at Qian Yuan with a pale face, Zheng Ruozeng persuaded helplessly: "It may not be impossible to escape unstoppable, after all, the number of Japanese pirates..."
Gui Youguang encouraged Lu Bin to leave the city, just to tell the Japanese pirates that there are not no elite soldiers in the city. With this power, you cannot plunder the village without scrupulously.
Before he finished speaking, Qian Yuan suddenly growled angrily: "If you want to go to the gate of hell, do you go alone, and pull so many people to give you a cushion?!"
Lu Bin's guard Sun Chengen brought more than 70 people, and this time he brought fifty people out of the city. The number was a bit small, so the township heroes and the guards of the wealthy families in the city gathered a hundred people. Shen Xingping, wearing leather armor, stood in front with a long sword in his hand.
It's really a mortal!
"Cruff..."
The city gate was slowly pushed open, and the Japanese pirates outside the city cheered and rushed forward with their spears.
"I don't know if there are so many coffins in the coffin shop in the city!" Qian Yuan pressed the city wall with both hands tightly and stared at Gui Youguang with a stern temperament.
This old man is simply a disaster. The good situation is a mess. If you want to be a saint, I can't control it, but don't get it to me!
"Okay!" Gui Youguang's old face seemed to have a dog's tail flower, "It's true that he is a general's tiger!"
Although there were messy areas on both sides, Lu Bin, who was skilled in martial arts, showed his personal force. When he met, he stabbed two thieves in his hand in a row. The personal soldiers behind him rushed to protect the left and right. The Ming army team broke into the Japanese pirate group like a knife cutting tofu.
There were cheers on the city wall, only Zheng Ruozeng and Qian Yuan looked worried. They saw clearly that the Japanese pirates were retreating in the center, but they took the initiative to retreat. At the same time, the two wings quickly spread out. Before the village heroes followed, the Ming army was already out of touch.
"Yang Wen!" Qian Yuan took a deep breath. No matter what, the dozens of soldiers Lu Bin brought with him were not allowed to be missed, otherwise he could plan to escape from the city. Now he could only take the risk and give it a try.
Yang Wen bowed and was about to respond, when a dark-faced man next to him suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Qian, I'll go with Brother Yang."
Yang Wen glanced at him without surprise and explained: "It's the Wang family's guardian, and he shot a good arrow."
There are very few outstanding archers in this era, and there are not many in a garrison.
Qian Yuan nodded and walked a few steps to the side, "Don't worry about those village heroes, just take the soldiers back."
"The township hero is behind..." Before the dark man finished speaking, he could catch a glimpse of the scene outside the city from the corner of his eyes.
The Bailai Township Yong had already exploded. Before the Japanese pirates surrounded on both wings were in place, the townsong had already scattered. Some ran back and hoped that the city would open the door and let them in. They ran around the east gate with a smarter look.
Of course, the city would not open. More than ten Japanese pirates were orderly cutting down the twenty or thirty village warriors one by one under the city.
Various weapons were scattered on the ground, screaming endlessly, and blood quickly gathered in the low-lying area.
"Get ready." Qian Yuan waved his hand and asked the Wang family's guards and Yang Wen to prepare. He walked to Zheng Ruozeng's side in a few steps, "Prepare to leave the city again."
"No...can't leave the city..."
"The city gate cannot be opened, it cannot be opened!"
The county magistrate, clerk and gentry oppose it, and the scene where the village warriors were defeated just now scared them.
"You should open the door, but you should open it, but you should not open it." Qian Yuan mocked: "If you don't bring back Lu's general and his subordinates, can you go to defend the city in person?"
The opposition immediately subsided, only County Magistrate Zhang opened his lips slightly and wanted to say something, but Qian Yuan turned his eyes and Zhang San immediately drew his sword in his hand.
"Everyone listens to my orders." Qian Yuan pointed at himself as he was willing to point out his fingers. He didn't expect that Zheng Ruozeng was so famous in his later generations, but he could hardly speak at this time.
Of course, Qian Yuan's reputation is even lower, but the swords and guns in the hands of his guards made his words very influential.
A large group of Japanese pirates not far away were fighting with the Ming army. One side had the advantage of the number of people, the other side had stronger personal martial arts, and the weapons they held were all top-notch. After all, they were personal soldiers around Lu Tong.
Although Lu Bin was a little naughty, the veterans who followed him had been through a long battle formation and had long discovered that the formation was disconnected. When the village warriors scattered, the Ming army had already begun to retreat, and the Japanese pirates were pressing forward step by step.
However, it was not that easy for Lu Bin to return to the city. The Japanese pirates who drove away the village warriors had gathered and were blocked on the way back to the city.
When Lu Bin attacks from both ends, once he cannot break through the Japanese pirates' blockade at the first time, the large number of Japanese pirates behind him can stick to them and calmly scatter the Ming army.
It is obvious that Lu Bin is also very clear.
The young face was covered with ferociousness, and Lu Bin was already a little unsteady. If it weren't for the veterans around him, he would have fallen down.
After staggering a few steps, Lu Bin raised his spear and rushed out with a roar. The Ming army team with forty people in Shangyu followed closely behind.
At this moment, Qian Yuan gritted his teeth and shouted: "Open the city gate!"
On the city wall, everyone looked nervously at the team running out of the city, including the soldiers who were left by Lu Bin, the fighters led by Yang Wen, and the guards of the wealthy families in the city. Even the thick and short Captain Wu was walking at the back with his legs and the yamen runners.
The Japanese pirates trapped in the middle were a little at a loss. They did not expect that after the village warriors were about to collapse, they would still dare to send troops in the city.
A Japanese pirate leader holding a waist knife was about to say something when a long arrow suddenly appeared on his throat.
Qian Yuan looked closely and saw that the dark-faced Wang family guard was bent his bow. The arrow was like a meteor, and it was normal to fire. In just over a dozen breaths, five or six Japanese pirates had been caught and fell down.
“Ahhhh…”
With a loud shout, Lu Tong stabbed the Japanese pirates in front of him in the chest. He gritted his teeth and pushed the opponent back with his strength. The personal soldiers and swords beside him raised, and more than 20 Japanese pirates blocking the road finally disintegrated and fled to both sides.
Qian Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't expect that an archer could exert such great power in this era. You must know that the reinforcements led by Yang Wen have not even reached the place.
Although the intercepted Japanese pirates were quickly defeated, the large number of pirates behind them also forced them up. The Ming army and the local tyrants rushed towards the city gate, and the city gate was in chaos when they refused to give in to each other.
Just when Qian Yuan and Zheng Ruozeng were in a hurry to jump, and when a large number of Japanese pirates felt that there was still a chance, a rough short spear briefly crossed the sky and sank straight into the chest of the thief who was rushing in front.
"Beautiful job!" Wang's guards praised loudly, bent his bow and arrow, and another Japanese pirate was shot in the thigh.
"Good arrow technique." Yang Wen easily blew the short spear made by himself yesterday in his hand, and ran two steps and threw it out.
Although the Japanese pirates scattered and did not escape the casualties this time, they all stopped.
"Prepare to close the city gate." Qian Yuan, who rushed down the city wall in three steps in two steps, shouted loudly: "I'm not back yet... I'll close the city gate, hurry, hurry!"
At this time, Lu Bin, who was sitting on the ground, jumped up and stared at him, "Where is Uncle Peng? Where is Uncle Peng?!"
