The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 100 This is the Wang Family Army
Lu Qi thought that the chief had become somewhat unreasonable, and seemed to have lost his mind in order to recruit. No matter how good Linhai City was, it had been completely exploited and there was no profit left.

At least three thousand people have been killed or injured in the past two or three months. Although everyone gathered together for the purpose of looting, they were already doing a job with their heads on the line, so no one should blame anyone else if their heads were lost.

But General Wang's sudden attack caused about two thousand casualties, and Lu Qi felt something was wrong.

We have delayed for too long. Even if it is for the purpose of recruiting the enemy, we should not stay any longer. Otherwise, the casualties will increase, and it is even possible that the entire army will be wiped out. We cannot go on like this.

The chieftain has gone mad, and I don’t want to die in vain.

Since we can't rob the north, we can just go to the south to avoid Wang's army.

Lu Qi, with his own army of more than 500 people, planned to plunder one last time, take the spoils back by boat to Japan, avoid the limelight, and come back again in two or three years.

The lower reaches of the Yongning River.

Lu Qi led his men to surround a civilian fortress, extorted some money, and then went to the next one.

Every family has a few poor relatives.

Zhejiang is located to the north of Jinling and to the south of Fujian. The northern part of Zhejiang is rich and the southern part is poor. Of course, this poverty is only relative to the Zhejiang region. No matter how poor it is, it is still richer than most parts of Japan.

Otherwise, who would risk their life to rob?

There are fewer forts in the north, but in the south, especially near Wenzhou, there are more and more forts. Some are built by the government, while others are built by the people themselves.

It's strange to say.

The north is so rich, but it doesn't spend money to build civilian forts. The south is obviously not richer than the north, but it has built many civilian forts. Further south is Fujian, where the number of civilian forts is countless.

The poorer the place, the more people like to build civilian fortresses, so they are less afraid of robbers.

If it weren't for General Wang, no one would come to the south to rob. Everyone knows that the north is rich, so they all ran to the north some time ago. As a result, they lost their heads before they spent all their money.

The civilian fort is difficult to attack, and even if you take it, there won’t be much profit.

Lu Qi knew the local people's characters very well. As long as he was ruthless enough and left room for the other party, the locals would easily compromise, so most of the people in Minbao agreed to Lu Qi's extortion.

It's good to accumulate little by little.

Lu Qi led his brothers along the Yongning River, ready to extort enough money. After that, they would not return to Linhai City, but go directly to the Lingjiang Wharf outside the city, find their own boat and go out to sea. The Yongning River is connected to the Lingjiang River, and the Lingjiang River flows into the sea. Because of this terrain, the commander-in-chief chose Taizhou.

Then I saw a flag.

There was a big word "King" embroidered on the flag.

"The King Flag."

"I can't be so unlucky."

Lu Qi murmured.

The usefulness of cavalry in the south was limited because the waterways in the south were too developed, cutting the land into pieces. Using waterways effectively improved transportation efficiency and reduced costs, but the cavalry could not escape.

Often, we would encounter rivers and streams before leaving the county town, and we would need to find a bridge. Taking a detour was still acceptable, but the worst thing was that there was no bridge, only a ferry, and it would be very difficult for a horse to cross the river on the ferry.

As a result, the combat radius was reduced, even to the point where it was inferior to that of infantry, and the role of cavalry was greatly reduced.

But that doesn't mean there are no advantages. For example, with the cavalry in his hands, Wang Xin can quickly get the news within a radius of 100 miles, especially since this group of Japanese pirates is so high-profile, it takes no effort for him to get the news.

Zhang Can trained his troops in the servant mode. Now he assigned the old and weak to the rear camp, but they had no actual combat experience. The front camp was responsible for the periphery. Although Zhao Yong's troops in the right camp were the elite troops left by Luo Ming, Wang Xin would not trust them easily.

The actual combat was carried out by the main camp and the left camp.

The main camp will attack, the left camp will sweep, the front camp will encircle, the right camp will provide support, and the rear camp will form a chariot formation to stabilize the rear.

Each battalion received military orders.

Zhao Yong was a little dissatisfied. They had the largest number of people, about six or seven hundred, and most of them were elite soldiers. Many of them could shoot bows and arrows. In Zhao Yong's eyes, his own team was actually the strongest.

"Zuoji, General Wang, can you do this?"

A famous school officer muttered.

Another officer said confidently, "This is for us to see. We all know we are the strongest, so General Wang has to subdue us. So he lets us watch and see how strong his men are, to prevent us from taking advantage of his power."

He thought he had guessed General Wang's thoughts.

Everyone agreed with this, but Zhao Yong was also grumbling in his heart, thinking that Wang Xin was a little petty, after all, he was not his confidant.

Think of this.

Zhao Yong felt a little disappointed.

Luo Ming died, and Zhao Yong, who had always been loyal to Luo Ming, felt as if he had lost his master and became a wandering ghost. Zhao Yong knew that he had a bad temper and was easy to offend people, and it would be difficult for him to have a good future in the future.

He quickly regained his composure and began to give orders. No matter what, the battle at hand had to be fought well, and as for where the future would go, they would just have to take it one step at a time.

The same is true for the front camp.

However, Zhang Can kept a close eye on the battlefield, including the officers of the front camp. They had been in contact with Wang Xin's troops for several months, and Zhang Can often took them to the Hexi small camp to observe and learn about the capabilities of the Hexi small camp.

No one had ever seen how the battle was fought, just watching the drills and hearing the good news. Today, everyone was finally able to see it with their own eyes, and their eyes widened.

Apart from Zhao Yong, Liu Tong held the highest position.

Tang Ping and Liu Tong were combined into one unit. They were old comrades-in-arms and had the same command, so there was not much disagreement. Liu Tong's unit fought together with the Hexi Small Camp and won three battles in a row. Then they spent some time in Jinling and Yangzhong Island respectively to get along well.

For example, more than half a month ago, now the two teams cooperate more skillfully.

View from the sky.

The big circle is inside the small circle, and the small circle is inside the dot.

The spear formation was dense, and they charged towards the Japanese pirates at the sound of trumpets. The mandarin duck formation was divided into small formations, like the splashing water from the spear formation, not letting a single enemy go. Then came the two outermost divisions, and the cavalry were also moving on the battlefield.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.

Although there were only a few hundred Japanese pirates, Wang Xin still responded with extreme caution.

Lu Qi was also a ruthless man. Seeing that there was no time to escape, he was reluctant to abandon the valuables in the car. He turned his head and looked at his brothers, saying fiercely: "People die for money and birds die for food. Today, either take the money and leave, or risk your life. Kill one to break even, kill two to make a profit, kill three to make a huge profit!"

We are all men who go to sea. Going to sea means there is a high probability of death. Even if Mazu blesses us for a while, she cannot protect us forever. Every time we go to sea, we are gambling with our lives. If we are afraid of death, we will not be here.

The desperadoes opened their eyes wide, with bloodshot veins visible.

"They're all fucking human beings."

"Whoever fears death is a grandson!"

"Fuck you."

It's not like we haven't encountered soldiers and officers before. As long as we are ruthless enough, we can have a chance to survive, and the soldiers and officers won't want to fight to the death.

far away.

Zhao Yong and his men had already made sufficient preparations. Seeing the vicious and ferocious behavior of the Japanese pirates, they naturally reminded: "Have all the units prepare and be ready to support the main force at any time."

Such cruel Japanese pirates killed one thousand enemies and injured eight hundred of their own people. The casualties are estimated to be not small.

To reduce casualties, the best option was to order them to provide support.

Instead of surrendering, the Japanese pirates rushed towards the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

Such a vicious enemy.

Wang Xin was the least worried.

War is not fighting.

"Swish swish."

The status of the Hexi small camp rose, and its equipment increased. After a few rounds of arrows, many of the Japanese pirates on the opposite side fell to the ground. But even so, they not only did not retreat, but instead quickened their pace.

He is indeed very courageous and is truly ruthless, not just pretending to be ruthless.

Wang Xin nodded.

Pity.

"Wei."

"Wei."

"Wei."

Qi Shannian's team was in the front, lined up tightly in a row. Although it was a row, it was actually a five-five team. In each team, two people formed a whole team, and the team leader could support both sides at any time, that is, three or two.

The squad leader supports two squads at any time. The emphasis is on at least two against one, and usually three against one.

Use simple moves to quickly draw and put away the gun.

"Poke."

"receive."

"Poke."

"receive."

At the moment of contact, although the number of people was obviously equal, most of the Japanese pirates were terrified and thought that the people on the opposite side were stabbing them. Before they died, they still regretted that they were so unlucky.

No matter how skilled a person is in martial arts, he cannot withstand two bullets coming at him at the same time. It’s really powerful. Then shoot him again.

A sergeant is more powerful than the soldiers under his command.

A poke and a pull.

As the overall situation of the Japanese pirates changed, the spear formation was also constantly adjusted, facing the Japanese pirates head-on at all times. Then the mandarin duck formations on both sides also began to shrink when the Japanese pirates attacked.

The harder the spears stabbed.

The faster the mandarin ducks shrink.

A poke and a shrink.

The net is tight and there is no place to escape. Even the strongest person will become weak.

Lu Qi's mind went blank. He had never encountered such a formation among the officers and soldiers of the Zhou army before. They would just shoot a few rounds of arrows and hack at each other with swords. The side that was more aggressive would retreat. In the end, they even formed a tacit understanding.

It was like a peeled egg hitting a stone and breaking into pieces.

The Japanese pirates didn't even have time to make a sound before the spears were pulled out of their bodies and they fell limply to the ground, without any strength left, not even the strength to scream.

"Surrender."

"Surrender! I'm not a pirate!"

Just now, many Japanese pirates died from the arrows of the officers and soldiers, but they were not afraid at all. After fighting for a while, they immediately became frightened and seemed like different people.

Many people knelt down in surrender, and many turned and ran away.

You can run inside.

There was no way to escape, not to mention that there were government troops and cavalry.

Lu Qi swallowed his saliva and saw three long spear heads being pulled out from the chest of a martial artist in his hands. The martial artist was his brother with the highest martial arts skills. He didn't even have a chance to fight back. He was like a chicken being slaughtered in the hands of the opposing soldiers.

Lu Qi really wanted to swear that he was not a coward.

But he really didn't have the courage.

"I surrender!"

"I have a secret for your general."

Lu Qidu surrendered.

The remaining people knelt down and surrendered one by one.

"I am not a pirate, I am..."

"puff."

The spear entered the body.

These people are the Japanese pirates.

Leave no one behind.

It was like a performance, and I saw a kind of beauty.

Zhao Yong was stunned.

The officers around him also stayed where they were, at a loss as to what to do.

The battlefield is like a whole.

Every soldier obeyed military orders with an outrageous strictness.

Zhao Yong saw it with his own eyes.

Ignoring their spears, several Japanese pirates threw themselves at a soldier, desperately trying to break the formation of the officers and soldiers and open a gap. However, the soldier seemed not to see the danger and moved forward in unison with his comrades beside him.

Zhao Yong didn't think he could do it.

Nearly a thousand people acted as one, facing the threat of life and death, and remained unwavering in their determination to advance or retreat.

Is this possible for humans?
Zhao Yong was deeply suspicious.

What should he do if he encountered such an enemy? A deep despair rose in his heart. It turned out that this was the Wang family army. The Wang family army was like this. No wonder Liu Tong only had his general in his heart.

It's really terrifying.

Could this person be brainwashing? Zhao Yong shook his head, the more he thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed.
