    "Yes, long live the Lord."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????? A look suddenly flashed across Eunuch Song¡¯s tired and haggard face: ¡°On that day, each of our Taizhou sergeants carried a bundle of straw and spread it all the way across.  At the beginning, everything went smoothly.  When you are one mile away from Hengyu, you will be within the range of Japanese artillery. Because of this, Japanese pirates may attack at any time.  Master Wu and General Qi Jiguang ordered the civilians to retreat and let the main force of the vanguard come forward.  "

    "Our Taizhou Army has a habit. In any battle, officers must charge forward and shout 'Brothers, follow me', unlike the officers of other armies who say 'Brothers, come on me', so the forward part must be  When they started to attack, Master Wu and General Qi Jiguang rushed directly to the front. When the servant saw that Master Wu and General Qi had rushed forward, I was a supervisor and had no reason to stay behind and watch the fun, so I naturally charged forward to repay you.  kindness.".

    Hearing that the Song eunuch had damaged other armies, Jiajing, Huang Jin, and Chen Hong couldn't help but smile. Even the corners of Gao Gong's mouth, which was always serious, turned up slightly: "Eunuch Song is so courageous."

    The eunuchs were just villains in the eyes of the civil servants. Unexpectedly, the Eunuch Song in front of him was quite bloody.

    However, when Eunuch Song said that Wu Jie rushed to the front line, Jiajing was shocked and couldn't help but said: "Wu Jie is rushing in front. Isn't he a civil servant? He also goes into battle to fight. What a nonsense? Qi Jiguang doesn't need to worry, this person's nickname  Qi Laohu is very skilled in martial arts, and even a dozen men can't get close to him."

    Eunuch Song: "Long live Lord, don't worry. I have nothing else in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of the quality of the armor, it is not comparable to that of the Japanese pirates. When the Japanese pirates' arrows hit it, it was like scratching an itch. At the beginning  Mr. Wu was not wearing armor at that time. As soon as the enemy shot an arrow, the guards immediately put on iron armor. It was a pity. The straw on the ground was really slippery. The man was carrying a heavy armor, and he lost his balance and fell down in the mud. Like a carrot,  It was inserted directly in. We also spent a lot of effort to get him out."

    ¡°Pfft!¡± Jiajing was drinking tea when he heard this funny scene.  He spit out a mouthful of tea and spit it directly on Hu Dashun's face.

    Several other people were laughing so hard that it was really interesting for such a great and famous person to fall into such a predicament.

    Gao Gong smiled and said, "Eunuch Song, please continue.

    "Yes, Prime Minister Gao."

    Eunuch Song continued, his mind returning to the blood-red battlefield.

    ***************************************************  *

    "Boom!" There was another cannon blast. Looking up, a black stone bullet flew from the island, drawing a straight arc in the air.  Landed on the beach.

    ¡°The ballistic trajectory was probably too flat, sliding across the muddy ground like water, and hit a Ming soldier¡¯s leg directly.  After cutting off one of his lower legs.  This sinks into the mud.

    "Ah!" Blood splattered everywhere, and the soldier screamed.  He immediately fell on the straw.

    This sudden scene shocked the auxiliary soldiers to lie down in the mud. Only the main soldiers were still throwing straws in front of them.

    There were many people running around on the straw-paved road and in the mud, and the scene immediately became chaotic.

    There were two cannons in total. After firing for such a long time, they only injured one soldier. The damage was very limited, but the psychological threat to people was very great.

    Wu Jie happened to be standing at the end of the crowd. At the beginning, he and Qi Jiguang were riding horses, but the road was too narrow and they slipped every step.  Because after walking for more than a mile, he and Qi Jiguang simply abandoned their horses and walked.

    When the cannon came, the soldier who was hit was only about ten steps away from him. Suddenly, red and black mud dots rushed towards his face and fell all over him.

    The air was filled with the smell of earth and blood, but Wu Jie was not afraid of this.  Ancient cannons used solid bullets and had limited lethality.  Moreover, the enemy only has two cannonballs, so the possibility of being hit is worse than winning the five million grand prize.

    Sure enough, after that, although the enemy kept firing, they all failed without exception.

    The main force of the soldiers was fine, but most of the other auxiliary soldiers were conscripted civilians, and all of them turned pale with fear.  Such chaos caused Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang to get separated. He looked up and saw Qi Jiguang's Chinese army flag for a long time.

    "Sir, where is Commander Qi?" Hearing this shout, Wu Jie turned around and saw that it was Eunuch Song who was supervising the army.

    "What's in the front, Eunuch Song, if you don't sit in the back, why are you running to the front?"

    "We are also ministers of the Ming Dynasty. How can we stand by and watch such a war?" Eunuch Song was also covered in wet mud and looked a little embarrassed.  However, this guy was wearing a heavy armor, which made him look majestic.

    There are civilians lying on the ground everywhere, blocking the straw road with water leaking out.After hearing this, Eunuch Song was furious. While talking to Wu Jie, he ordered his guards to pull them up from the ground: "Let's go, let's go, I want to lie here and wait to die!"

    At this time, there was another long horn horn behind me.

    Wu Jie looked back and saw another phalanx of about a thousand people marching forward along two straw roads.

    He naturally knew that because of the narrow terrain, it was impossible for the Qi family's army of more than 10,000 troops to enter the battlefield at the same time. They could only be divided into ten teams and attack in steps of 1,000 men and 1,000 men.

    If the thousands of troops in front do not land, and the troops from behind squeeze in, the situation will be chaotic.

    Wu Jie also realized that something was wrong, and kept pulling up the civilian workers and auxiliary soldiers who were lying on the dirt.

    At this moment, a strange sound of "Whoosh!" sounded in the air above our heads. The sound was so sharp that it made people's teeth ache.

    Looking up, the sky above me was dark.

    Countless small black dots floated above the head, paused, and then flew down.

    "Arrow, the arrow is coming!" Hundreds of auxiliary soldiers shouted loudly.

    Wu Jie was also shocked in his heart: "Oh no, I am not a man of steel. If he is shot, he will be dead."

    "Chi chi chi chi" Countless feather arrows fell down and shot into the mud, into the straw, and into the human body.

    People were screaming everywhere, the mudflats that were dark just now have turned white, and the white tail feathers of arrows were trembling all over the ground.

    "Raise your shield, raise your shield!" With a loud shout, all the soldiers raised their shields high and connected them above their heads.  It's like opening a big umbrella.

    Wu Jie saw it.  A peasant husband was shot in the shoulder, screamed and fell limply to the ground, sliding along the smooth straw into the mud.  Can't get up anymore.

    His heart trembled, and Eunuch Song next to him shouted: "Master Wu, are you okay?"

    Wu Jie: "I'm fine. How are you?"

    Eunuch Song was timid and his face was frighteningly white.  He followed Qi Jiguang in his expeditions over the years. Although he did not go into battle directly, he was still an old man who fought in wars. He immediately shouted: "Go forward, go forward, we cannot passively be beaten here, we are not rabbits"  Come here, put some armor on Master Wu."

    Two guards rushed up.  Put an iron helmet with a long lightning rod on Wu Jie's head.  Then the heavy armor came over, weighing at least twenty kilograms, and the weight made Wu Jiechai's shoulders soften.

    ??While talking.  There was another nasty "whoosh!" sound.  The enemy's second arrow rain came again, hitting the shield above his head.  "Take, take, take, take," like a storm.

    This time Wu Jie was unlucky. An arrow shot viciously through the gap between the shields and hit him in the shoulder.

    Fortunately, he was wearing iron armor, and with a clang sound, a small spark flew up.

    Now Wu Jie was shocked and suddenly became happy: "This armor is really good, it can't be penetrated."

    Amidst the noise, Eunuch Song laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu, the armors we are wearing are all saved by General Qi Jiguang over the years, costing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and are all made of fine steel. In order to pull  To build this elite heavy armor, the Taizhou Army spent all their money this year. Not to mention the bamboo bows in the hands of the Japanese pirates, even if their Japanese swords are used to cut it, it will be useless."

    He happened to be hiding among a group of soldiers, curled up in a ball, looking a little funny.

    Wu Jie was overjoyed: "If that's the case, then what are you afraid of? Move forward, move forward!"

    He immediately stood up, pushed aside the guards around him, and strode forward.

    In the distance, Qi Jiguang's flag was flying, only two hundred meters away from the enemy's stronghold.

    At such a distance, if it were on flat ground, a charge would be enough.

    But the road is really muddy, so we can only push forward without any urgency or dissatisfaction.

    At this time, "Boom!", a ball of fire burst out from the enemy's wall, and the broken human body and the bent barrel rose into the air, and fell down for a long time, smashing a Japanese pirate into a pulp.

    "The artillery exploded, the artillery exploded, move forward!" The Ming army, which had been squatting on the ground just now, stood up at the same time, cheered loudly, waved their weapons, and strode forward.

    It turns out that the few rounds of arrows the Japanese pirates had just hit the armored Ming army were of no use at all, and they only wounded a few civilians.  The two cannons actually killed a few people, but the quality of ancient cannons was poor. Just because they had been firing non-stop for a long time, the barrels had already become red and deformed, and they immediately detonated the gunpowder filled in them.  Several Japanese gunners were blown to pieces.

    Without the harassment of cannons, Sergeant Ming?Be inspired, never stop, keep moving forward.

    Seeing that the Ming army's offensive was unstoppable, suddenly, the enemy's village gate opened wide, and about five hundred Japanese pirates brandished samurai swords and rushed out, screaming, and lined up at the gate. Apparently, they wanted to take advantage of the Ming army before they could gain a foothold.  Steady, catch Qi Jiguang off guard.

    Wu Jie looked up and almost laughed.  Those Japanese pirates were so damn short, each one was about 1.5 meters, and many of them were only 1.4 meters, which was not as tall as the bamboo bow in their hand.

    "Little Japan, little Japan, really small!"

    These guys are all dressed as ronin. Most of them don¡¯t wear armor, only a Japanese sword.

    Just after hearing from Eunuch Song that Japanese swords could not cut into the armor of the Ming army, Wu Jiedan started to fight.

    Any man will have the dream of killing enemies on the battlefield and making meritorious deeds. Wu Jie's blood suddenly boiled, and he kept pushing away the soldiers blocking him and ran forward: "Charge, charge!"

    After running a few steps, I saw Lian Laosan.  Then he remembered that he didn't have any weapons on him, so he snatched a spear from his hand: "Old Lian, give it to me!"

    At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the mud beside the straw road and grabbed Wu Jie's ankle: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, help!"

    Wu Jie was unprepared for a moment and was pulled down and fell into the mud.  To be continued
