Chapter 499 Tears

The main force of the Japanese pirates turned east after a commotion and set up a formation. Qian Yuan and Hu Zongxian immediately reacted and Qi Jiguang arrived.

Qian Yuan looked at the sky and smiled and said, "Before noon, why is Yuan Jing urgent?"

Unlike Zheng Ruozeng, Mao Kun was worried that Qi Jiguang led his army to a long journey and gained a foothold. Qian Yuan had enough confidence in the Qi family army. This army was not only able to fight and dared to fight, but also had high tolerance and strong obedience.

At this time, the two sides of the Yaojiang River were swept away, and the group easily crossed the river and entered the city. When they walked to the top of the city, the government army and the Japanese pirates were about to fight, just four or five miles northeast of Shangyu County.

More cautious than Zheng Ruo once imagined. Ten miles away from Shangyu County, Qi Jiguang ordered the ship to stop, dock, reorganize the army, release scouts, and move forward slowly.

Every command is very clear, and every command has a clear person in charge. Faced with Xu Hai, who has been the most notorious and has the most brilliant record since the Japanese riots, Qi Jiguang perfectly showed his lifelong military talent.

This is a battle that determines the fate of many people. It is related to whether the Southeast civil and military officials, led by the Governor of Zhejiang Zhizhi, can turn the situation around, as well as the future of countless officials below Hu Zongxian, and to Qian Yuan's upcoming plan to open a maritime ban on trade.

Hu Zongxian, Zheng Ruozeng, Mao Kun and others were watching the battle with telescopes on the top of the city, but Qian Yuan did not. On the one hand, he had great confidence in Qi Jiguang, and on the other hand... Two hundred soldiers made great contributions in the assault, but 57 people were killed in battle, and almost everyone in the rest were injured.

Among the two hundred soldiers, the Qian family guards sent more than a hundred troops. After all, the escort team had high requirements for recruiting troops. The remaining dozens of people were brave in the army. They all experienced the great victory in Shanyin and took turns to sweep away the Japanese pirates. Most of Qian Yuan could name them.

This is the main reason why Qian Yuan crossed the river and entered the city. A large number of first aid kits and cotton cloth were sent into the city. Those who knew some medical skills were drawn out to help.

"Don't worry, I can't die." Qian Yuan pressed Zhu Ba who was struggling hard, "A few more people will press!"

Seven or eight hands reached out and pressed Zhu Ba with distorted face tightly. Even if this guy was extremely powerful, he couldn't move. Peng Feng finally sprinkled all the disinfectant alcohol on the wound and found the cotton cloth to wrap it tightly.

"I would have asked you to bring two shields!" Qian Yuan cursed: "So reckless, I knocked everyone down with the nine-toothed rake!"

Zhang San calculated half of Wang Yi's apprentice. Seeing that his junior brother was not seriously injured, he joked: "What is Zhu Bajie, why don't he use the Nine-Tyed Rake?"

"Bad Zhu Bajie!" Qian Yuan scolded: "This is Tianpeng's reincarnation!"

"Tianpeng?" Zhang San did not seek much understanding of his reading. In fact, he had never read "Journey to the West" at all, but had heard storytelling.

Peng Feng next to him said quietly: "Isn't that the same thing?"

"A bullshit, one is Marshal Tianpeng of the Heavenly Palace and the other is a pig demon. Can it be the same?" Qian Yuan slapped Peng Feng in the back of the head, "Everyone moves quickly!"

"I'm almost done." Peng Feng lowered his head.

Qian Yuan stood up straight and walked over to look over. The minor wounded had already bandaged the remaining dozen seriously injured... The simple first aid surgery could no longer work, so he could only do disinfection and bandage. The doctor who was pulled over was in a hurry, but he looked helpless.

Obviously, although he has only been in the escort team for half a year and has experienced many battlefield battles, Peng Feng’s psychological endurance is not that strong, and he doesn’t even dare to watch this scene.

We train together, chat and joke together, scooping rice from a rice pot, and even sleeping brothers in a tent lay on a stretcher, spitting blood and dying... Not to mention Peng Feng, even Qian Yuan's nose was sore.

Qian Yuan squatted down and held the hand of the wounded... He remembered this man, a native of Taizhou, Wu Gao, who was recruited by Yang Wen himself when he went to Linhai for the first time. He made a contribution to the victory in Changshui Town, Jiaxing last year. He was transferred to the army at the beginning of this year and was the deputy captain of the team under Yang Wen.

Looking at Wu Gaohuan's dispersed eyes, Qian Yuan wanted to say something... but before he could speak, Wu Gao had already closed his eyes.

There was no crying around, but big tears fell one after another.

Qian Yuan turned his head and looked at the other side. The wounded had already tilted his head and felt weak, and blood foam could not stop flowing along the corners of his mouth. This was Chen Xi, a warrior under Wu Gao, who was from Yiwu. He only joined the army this year. It was specially selected by Wu Gao.

What are you saying?

He said he didn't have to worry about his parents, wife and children, he didn't have to worry about his livelihood at home, he said he didn't have to worry about military pay and silver rewards... But these seem so pale and powerless in the face of the passing of life.

It is simple to say when sitting in the tent, but it requires a living life to fill all this.

Qian Yuan ordered Wang Yi to choose 200 soldiers to set up an ambush in the hope of having more back-up moves. Many times, one more back-up move can determine the outcome.

Qian Yuan's goal was achieved, and two hundred soldiers successfully defeated a thousand five Japanese pirates and saved Shangyu County.

Among the two hundred people, such as Wu Gao, the old man in the guard team, and Chen Xi, the new recruit in Yiwu, no one retreated, and only volunteered.

Two hundred soldiers attacked a thousand five Japanese pirates. Although they had the advantage of attacking them unexpectedly, they rushed forward with great casualties, and no one retreated, so they could only move forward bravely.

Who says that Southeast is weak and courageous?

Who said that there are no soldiers killed in the southeast?

In critical moments, when courage is most needed, there will always be people in this country and nation standing up straight.

The alley was quiet, and Qian Yuan accompanied them silently. Without suitable treatment methods, he was so seriously injured and his vitality quickly dissipated from their bodies.

After a while, Qian Yuan took the towel handed by Zhang San, and did not wipe the blood on his hands, but leaned down and gently wiped the blood on the deceased's face.

The army had its own charity. In fact, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the so-called charity had been greatly weakened. Under the garrison system, thousands of households and ordinary garrison soldiers could be compared with landlords and tenants.

In the southeast, this kind of charisma filled the new army recruiting troops, and in the Qian family guards, which had only more than 200 people.

The city was in chaos, and there were loud shouts from time to time. Qian Yuan looked quietly for a while and turned around to walk deep into the alley... If the war was not going well, Hu Zongxian and Zheng Ruozeng would have come to recruit people long ago.

After walking along the alley for a while, he turned around and dozens of corpses were cleanly placed on the door panel. Wang Yi stood by, as if he had been standing for a long time.

"Young Master."

Qian Yuan ignored Wang Yi and walked over gently, as if he was afraid of waking up the people on the ground. He looked over one by one, almost everyone could name himself, and almost everyone could remember his appearance... Before he knew it, his face was covered with tears.

Qian Yuan has never been a soft-hearted person.

In Chongde County, he drove hundreds of people out of the city without hesitation.

He had a great conversation with Yan Shifan, but he promised without hesitation that Wang Yi would avenge Zeng Xian in the future.

Even though he knew that Xu Hai was likely to choose Shaoxing Prefecture, like Hu Zongxian, he had no intention of letting the coastal residents move, so that the Umogwind Town was occupied by Japanese pirates, and countless people died under the knife.

But in the face of these... what do these brothers who died for their own words and are close to each other?

"Cheng Qi..." Qian Yuan's eyes stopped on the last corpse. He was the apprentice accepted by Wang Yi in the 32nd year of Jiajing. He was the first member of the expansion of the guard team. He had a very old experience. He got married in Linhai County last year and had a son in March this year.

"Zhu Ba knocked down the Japanese pirates and broke the formation. Cheng Qi rushed over to protect Zhu Ba and was stabbed by two spears..." Wang Yi whispered: "But he held the two spears tightly, and the brothers completely entered the formation."

Seeing the tears on Qian Yuan's face, Wang Yi, who had been living and dying for a long time, whispered: "Young Master, no wonder you..."

"Needless to say." Qian Yuan waved his hand, turned around and looked around, "I know, I know..."

A faint sound of cannons came, and Wang Yi suddenly woke up and whispered: "Young Master, the battle has not ended..."
