Chapter 1784： Fu Zun, no

Chapter 1784 Fu Zun, no way

The first light of dawn appeared in the sky, and the night that permeated the sky and the earth also changed from thick ink to light ink.

"Kill!"

"Kill it! Die, die!"

Four thousand Japanese pirates brandished Japanese knives, yelling to kill and come back to the Fengqiao camp, all of them had ferocious faces and murderous looks.

The movement of four thousand Japanese pirates screaming and charging is not small, like a hurricane raging, the sound of shouting and killing is earth-shattering, like a tsunami, like a landslide, like a ground subsidence, like a ghost rushing out of hell, roaring ferociously to take revenge on the world, and rushing straight to the sky

The footsteps of the four thousand Japanese pirates charging made the earth tremble, like an evil spirit beating the earth frantically with towering drumsticks.

Four thousand Japanese pirates were like this, screaming and killing, overwhelming, rushing towards the Fengqiao camp.

In Suzhou city in the distance, officials including the prefect of Suzhou, Shang Wei, and the soldiers on the city wall looked nervously at the battlefield in front of the Fengqiao camp in the distance, their hands were sweating, and their hearts were raised. On the throat.

Fengqiao camp did not light up, only sporadic flames, but about two miles in front of Fengqiao camp, where the Japanese pirate army was stationed, there were as many torches as there were stars in the sky, and there were too many to count.

Judging from the number of torches of the Japanese pirates alone, there must be at least 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese pirates.

When the first wave of Japanese pirates attacked Fengqiao camp just now, their hearts were in their throats. Fortunately, the Zhejiang army withstood the attack of Japanese pirates and did not fall, which made them breathe for a while.

However, now the Japanese pirates have begun to attack Fengqiao camp again.

Standing on the city wall, they could hear the cries of the Japanese pirates charging from a distance, and even the city wall under their feet seemed to be shaken by the cries of the Japanese pirates and the footsteps of the charge.

Now the sky is no longer as dark as ink, and there is also a certain degree of visibility. From a distance, the charging Japanese pirates can be seen, like a ferocious black python hundreds of meters thick, savagely rushing towards the Fengqiao camp.

"My lord, the Japanese pirates have started to attack the Fengqiao camp again. The last wave of Japanese pirates was about a thousand people, and the Zhejiang army resisted with difficulty. This time, it may be enough. Judging from the screams of the Japanese pirates and the blurred figures, this It is estimated that about 4,000 to 5,000 Japanese pirates attacked the Fengqiao camp at one time, more than twice as many as the Zhejiang army, and the Zhejiang army may be in danger."

The head of the military house of Suzhou Prefecture stood beside Shang Wei, the prefect of Suzhou, and said to Shang Wei with a solemn face.

"Without further delay, you ordered General Zhang to mobilize 3,000 elite soldiers and horses to leave the city to support the Fengqiao Camp."

After listening, Shang Wei hesitated for a moment, and ordered.

"No, no, Fu Zun!"

"It's absolutely impossible, Fu Zun, there are 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese pirates outside, and the Zhejiang army only has 2,000 soldiers. Even if we send 3,000 soldiers, there are only 5,000 soldiers. Compared with the Japanese pirate army, To no avail."

"That's right, my lord, you must not send reinforcements. The Japanese pirates are fierce and good at fighting. Our soldiers and horses in field battles are absolutely no match for the Japanese pirates. If we send three thousand soldiers and horses out of the city, it will only give the Japanese pirates their heads. It will not help. Our soldiers and horses are only Only by relying on the tall city walls can we deal with Japanese pirates! Sending troops out of the city is to exploit weaknesses and avoid strengths, and ask the lord of the government to be responsible for the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the city!"

When a group of officials heard that Shang insisted on sending troops to support the Zhejiang army, they tried to dissuade them emotionally.

"Our city of Suzhou and the Zhejiang army are in a corner. We should support each other, otherwise our lips will die and our teeth will be cold! If we don't go to the rescue of the Zhejiang army, the Fengqiao camp of the Zhejiang army is broken by Japanese pirates, and the next target of the Japanese pirates will be us." No! Without the Zhejiang army to contain the Japanese pirates, if 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese pirates attack our Suzhou city, then our Suzhou city will be in danger." Shang Wei explained the truth to the officials.

"My lord, the key point is that three thousand soldiers and horses supporting the Zhejiang army will not help. Our army is better at defending the city than fighting in the field. Three thousand soldiers and horses are fighting Japanese pirates in the wild. They can only give away their heads. They can only play a role in the city. The soldiers and horses in our city are not rich at all, if these 3,000 soldiers and horses are lost, the city of Suzhou will be in danger!"

"My lord, Mr. Zhu didn't ask us to support him. Mr. Zhu and the others only bought seven or eight hundred mules and horses. Including all the mules and horses in their book, the Zhejiang army has more than a thousand mules and horses. If they fight But the Japanese pirates, they have no problem running. The Japanese pirates came by boat without horses. How can the two-legged Japanese pirates outrun the four-legged horses? If the Zhejiang army escapes on horseback, the Japanese pirates will have nothing to do with them.”

"That's right, my lord, the Zhe army bought mules and horses in advance. It can be seen that it has been planned for a long time. When the time comes, Master Zhu and the others can ride on horses, and our reinforcements will become scapegoats. The Japanese pirates can't catch up with the Zhe army on horseback. But it can catch up to our reinforcements."

"I also ask the government to respect the overall situation and the lives of the people in the city, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices!"

A group of officials persuaded again, in order to dispel Shang Zhifu's plan to send reinforcements to the Zhejiang Army, they specifically pointed out that the Zhejiang Army has a lot of mules and horses, and if the Zhejiang Army does not support them, they can also escape on horseback.

Shang insisted that he listened to everyone's dissuasion, especially the fact that they had more than a thousand mules and horses from the Zhejiang army.

I have to say that this point convinced Shang Wei,

Yes, the Zhejiang army has more than a thousand mules and horses. If they don’t have any support, they can also escape on horseback, so that the entire army will not be wiped out.

Although the Fengqiao camp was lost and there was no stable base, as long as the Zhejiang army was not completely annihilated, the Japanese pirates would not dare to attack the city with all their strength, and they must leave a certain amount of troops to prevent the Zhejiang army from killing a carbine.

Moreover, as they said, the defenders of Suzhou City have been out of battle for a long time, and they are really no match for Japanese pirates in field battles.

Thinking of this, Shangwei let out a long sigh, waved his hands, and said helplessly, "For the time being, let's give up the matter of reinforcements and think about it in the long term."

"Fu Zun is wise!"

All the officials on the city wall were overjoyed when they heard that Shang Wei would no longer insist on sending reinforcements, and praised Shang Wei for his wisdom.

Shang Weiwei shook his head, clasped the wall bricks tightly with his hands, and looked nervously at the direction of Fengqiao Daying.

The Fengqiao camp of the Zhejiang Army has already been ready for a long time. When Zhu Pingan repelled the first wave of Japanese pirates and saw that the Japanese pirates began to select the second wave of pioneer Japanese pirates, he had already ordered the 800 reserve teams in the camp to prepare Ready to support anytime.

This wave of Japanese pirates' offensive is bound to be extremely fierce. Against this wave of offensive, the Japanese pirates will definitely send reinforcements.

At this time, it is the best time to detonate the gunpowder of the wine jar.

As long as the gunpowder in the wine jar is detonated, it can cause great damage and deterrence to the Japanese pirates, and then defeat the Japanese pirates' attack. In this way, the morale of the Japanese pirates will inevitably be greatly damaged, and they will be afraid of the Zhejiang Army and the Fengqiao Camp.

Next, it will be difficult for the Japanese pirates to organize such a fierce offensive against the Fengqiao Camp.
