Rise From the Humble

"Brother Haifeng, it is heard that the Zhejiang Army likes to bury gunpowder on the road to ambush the opponents. When the Zhejiang Army retreats, we must be careful not to fall into Zhu Ping'an's ambush. There is an old saying in the Central Plains, which goes, you don't have to have the intention to harm others, but you must always be on guard against others." Otomo Sadakawa reminded Mao Haifeng to be careful of Zhu Ping'an's tricks.

"Don't worry, our people are always keeping an eye on them. Even if they fart, we can't hide it from them." Mao Haifeng said confidently.

"Hey, as long as Zhu Ping'an doesn't play any evil tricks, we will fight to the death today. We live and they die. This day next year will be the anniversary of Zhu Ping'an's death!" Otomo Sadakawa said confidently.

Like Otomo Sadakawa, he was full of confidence in fighting a field battle with the Zhejiang Army.

Just then, a Japanese pirate came to Mao Haifeng's tent and reported, "Report, the Zhejiang army has withdrawn from the mountain pass."

"I didn't expect it to be so fast."

After hearing this, Mao Haifeng was somewhat surprised that the Zhejiang Army retreated so quickly. It was beyond his expectations.

"Haha, practice makes perfect. The soldiers have learned how to run away. Eight out of ten soldiers we encounter run away."

Otomo Sadakawa said with a chuckle.

"Did the Zhejiang Army carry out any conspiracy or trickery during its retreat? Did they bury gunpowder or something like that during their retreat?"

Mao Haifeng asked.

"No, we have been keeping an eye on the Zhejiang Army. They retreated very cleanly without any tampering. Just in case, as soon as they left, our people followed them with shovels to check. It was indeed very clean. They didn't tamper with anything." The Japanese pirates reported, patting their chests, convinced that the Zhejiang Army had not tampered.

They were also people who valued their lives. After hearing the story that the Zhejiang Army had buried thousands of kilograms of gunpowder to seduce the Japanese pirates in Xu Hai, they dug up the Zhejiang Army's retreat camp and the road leading to the mountain pass until they were sure that the Zhejiang Army had not tampered with anything.

"Haha, I didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to be such a man."

When Mao Haifeng heard that Zhu Ping'an did not make any moves during the retreat, his impression of Zhu Ping'an was refreshed.

"Whether he is a man or not will be known after the battle later! He is not a silver-plated spear head!" Otomo Sadakawa held his Japanese sword with his hand, full of fighting spirit.

"Brother Dayou is right. If he doesn't have the strength to fight me in the field, then his action today is foolish! On paper, Zhao Kuo is first and Zhu Ping'an is second!" Mao Haifeng was also full of fighting spirit.

At this moment, outside the tent, the sound of the Zhejiang Army's passionate war drums could be heard, as well as the repeated shouts of "If you want to fight, then fight!"

"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish!" Mao Haifeng stood up and waved his hand with a determined look, "Broke camp, march into the mountain pass, and fight the Zhejiang army to the death!"

"The leader is right. Since you want to die, I will grant your wish!" After hearing this, the Japanese pirates' messenger became so excited that he couldn't wait to go out to pass the message.

The Japanese pirates had just been listening to the Zhejiang army on the opposite side shouting with high morale, "If you want to fight, then fight!", and seeing their morale rising, they had been holding back their energy for a long time.

Now, hearing Mao Haifeng say that the Zhejiang Army was seeking death by shouting "If you want to fight, then fight!", he also said that he wanted to help the Zhejiang Army.

The Zhejiang troops couldn't help but feel their morale boosted. If the Zhejiang troops sought a fight, they were seeking death. If the two armies fought, the only ones who would die would be the Zhejiang troops!

Then, one after another, they all shouted in unison, "Since you want to die, I will grant your wish!"

For a time, the morale of the Japanese pirates also rose.

Listening to the repeated shouts of "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" outside the tent and watching the visibly rising morale of the Japanese pirates under his command, Mao Haifeng couldn't help but smile. The army's morale is good, and this battle is won!

"Yo, you are worthy of being Brother Haifeng. The morale of our troops has been greatly boosted. The morale damaged by yesterday's ambush has been swept away. Our troops' morale is high. In this battle, we will definitely be able to kill the little Zhu Ping'an!" Seeing this, Otomo Sadakawa clasped his fists and praised Mao Haifeng.

"Hahaha, it's not worth mentioning. Merits still need to be achieved on the battlefield." Mao Haifeng laughed and waved his hands.

"The army's morale is high! We will surely win this battle!" Otomo Sadakawa said confidently.

The morale of the Japanese pirates was high, and they moved camp three times faster than usual. They quickly finished packing up, broke camp, and marched towards the mountain pass.

"Brother Dayou, there is an old saying in China that 'the weather is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people'. In this battle, we must cooperate sincerely. You are me and I am you. Together, you and I will defeat Zhu Ping'an of the Zhejiang Army!"

Mao Haifeng said to Otomo Sadakawa while riding on a horse.

"Brother Haifeng, rest assured. We are one. We will share success or failure, honor or disgrace. In this battle, I will follow your lead!"

Otomo Sadakawa patted his chest and said.

"Thank you for your trust, brother Dayou. If we work together, we will surely defeat Zhu!" Mao Haifeng was full of confidence.

"Please give the order, Brother Haifeng. I am willing to lead the charge and tear open a gap in the Zhejiang Army's formation for Brother Haifeng!"

Otomo Sadakawa clasped his fists and asked for a fight.

"Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? Brother Dayou, please select 2,000 elite soldiers from your command, and I will also select 3,000 elite soldiers from my command to form a 5,000-man vanguard force to break through the Zhejiang army! With such an elite force, we will surely break through the Zhejiang army's formation in a field battle! With our army, victory is inevitable in this battle, and it depends on how big the victory is! I hope to win completely, wipe out the Zhejiang army in one fell swoop, and capture Zhu Ping'an alive! Let King Hui see what you and I are capable of!"

Mao Haifeng smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Yamaguchi with ambition, turned his head and spoke slowly to Otomo Sadakawa.

"Okay! I will send all my Ma Hui guards forward. They are all heroes who have followed me for many years. Each of them is worth a hundred. We will surely kill countless Zhejiang soldiers!" Otomo Sadakawa accepted the order without hesitation and sent all his personal guards forward as well.

"I have the full support of Brother Dayou. How wonderful! I will also send my personal guards to crush the Zhejiang army with overwhelming force!"

Mao Haifeng extended his hand to Otomo Sadakawa.

Otomo Sadakawa stretched out his hand, and the two men shook hands vigorously, smiled at each other, and their confidence infected the Japanese pirates behind them.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

A group of Japanese pirates waved a variety of weapons in their hands in a disorderly manner and shouted loudly, shaking the earth and sky.

The Japanese pirates believed, and believed it without a doubt, that the Zhejiang army was no match for them in a fair and square battle without any sneak attacks or conspiracies. In the upcoming battle, they would crush the Zhejiang army with one blow, killing many heads of the Zhejiang army and causing rivers of blood to flow. (End of this chapter)
