Chapter 9 is too unchallenging Aoki Izan is 31 years old this year and is considered tall among the Japanese. When he was fifteen, his father died in battle. Aoki Ichizan took over his father's sword, but wanted to become a scholar. Unfortunately, God did not give him a chance. Even though he studied hard and was "full of knowledge", no one was willing to hire him. Aoki Ichiyama, who was desperate, went to do business and was robbed. In desperation, Aoki Izan simply joined the bandits. As the saying goes, a tree that is moved dies, but a person who moves lives. Aoki Ichiyama was educated and soon stood out among the thieves. If nothing had changed, Aoki Izan would have become a famous thief. But things are unpredictable. During a robbery, his men robbed a girl. Aoki Izan accidentally drank too much and slept with the girl. Everything has changed. When he woke up, the girl calmly told him her identity. The daughter of a wealthy family. And she is an only child, without any brothers or sisters.
You either succeed or marry me. Otherwise, just wait for endless pursuit! Fight until death! Aoki Ichisan was panic-stricken. Finally I chose to make a name for myself. But this is so difficult. Famous people everywhere need unknown people like him. Start from scratch and stop making trouble. If you raise the flag today, the army will come to encircle and suppress you tomorrow. Aoki Kazuyama chose to go into business. "I will return with countless goods from the Ming people, as well as a reputation that will scare the Ming people to death." Aoki Ichizan said goodbye to the girl. In three years, Aoki Ichiyama's pirate career became more and more successful, and he became somewhat famous in the southeastern coastal area of Ming Dynasty. All of this was achieved by daring to fight... He once led fifty of his men to defeat eight hundred Ming troops and became famous in one battle. "leader." Off the coast of Nanhuizui, more than a dozen ships of different sizes are bobbing with the waves. The Japanese pirates who went out for scouts are back. Aoki Ichisan turned around and asked, "How is it?" The fleet has run out of food, and Aoki Ichiyama knows that his men will mutiny in an instant if they cannot loot any more food. But he still looked calm.
"We found a merchant caravan." The Japanese pirate scout said excitedly, "They are transporting food." "Food?" Aoki Ichisan clenched his fists behind his back. "Yes, white rice! It's made into rice balls, which will make you salivate with hunger." "I saw it with my own eyes." Aoki Ichisan frowned. Ten days ago, the food supply had been halved. Since yesterday, each person had only one wild vegetable dumpling per day, and everyone's eyes were greener than the vegetables. Qingmu Yishan hesitated for a long time, "I'm afraid it's a trap." …… "The prisoners have always said that Aoki Ichiyama is cautious." It started to drizzle in the camp, and Zhang Mao walked into the house still wet. Jiang Qingzhi was drinking porridge with a plate of pickles. "Have you eaten?" Jiang Qingzhi asked calmly. Somehow, seeing the calm Jiang Qingzhi, Zhang Mao's irritability mostly dissipated, and he smiled and said, "Eat it." "Wait." Jiang Qingzhi drank the remaining porridge slowly, ate a few pieces of pickles, put down his chopsticks, and said, "The way to use troops is to know yourself and the enemy. Qingmu Yishan is cautious, but you don't know the nature of the Japanese." Then do you know...Wang Yu lowered his eyes behind him. "The Japanese are cruel and have a tradition of overthrowing their superiors. The biggest mistake Aoki Ichizan made was being too cautious." "What do you mean?" Zhang Mao narrowed his eyes. "Go out for a walk." Jiang Qingzhi felt a little bored, so he was the first to walk out of the house. The drizzle was like silk threads, densely and obliquely falling between the sky and the earth. "If he had used all his strength to attack, looted the food and returned, who could have done anything to him?" Jiang Qingzhi said calmly, "Zhuge was always cautious throughout his life, but is Qingmu Yishan worthy of being compared with Zhuge? I asked you to send people to patrol between Nanhuizui and the passage to Shanghai County. Does Qingmu Yishan dare to attack?" "He wouldn't dare to do that before he finds out the truth!" Jiang Qingzhi was extremely experienced in combat and said confidently: "The caravan is the bait I gave him. No matter how cautious he is, he has to take it. He has no choice!" Zhang Mao took a deep breath, "So..." "Aoki Ichiyama will definitely land today. You can order a hundred people, led by Chen Ba. After seeing the signal, they will raid the Japanese pirate fleet and burn it." Jiang Qingzhi looked at Chen Ba. Cutting off the enemy's retreat route is a great achievement! Chen Ba glanced at Zhang Mao. That's Zhang Mao's subordinate...
This young man made a condition... Zhang Mao glanced at his generals who had different expressions and nodded. "I said everything will be arranged by Maocai." Jiang Maocai is paving the way for me to make achievements. Chen Ba lowered his head, his eyes red, "Please rest assured, Maocai, even if I die in battle, I will die on the way to the battle! I will not let you down!" "I have lived up to Your Majesty's expectations!" Jiang Qingzhi said with a smile. Then, he looked at Zhang Mao and asked, "Do you have the caltrops I asked someone to prepare?" "I have brought it." A general stepped forward, "What do you want to use it for?" "When the Japanese pirates chased us, they scattered behind the caravan." Jiang Qingzhi narrowed his eyes. "What would the Japanese pirates do if they saw the caravan wearing straw sandals?" "They will definitely chase you along the main road, hiss..." What a scene it was when the Japanese pirates in straw sandals stepped on the caltrops! "Have you found those old bamboos?" Jiang Qingzhi looked calm. "Found it." Wang Yu didn't understand why Jiang Qingzhi asked them to find Lao Maozhu. "It's a pity that there is not enough time." Jiang Qingzhi sighed with some regret, "Let the bravest ones in the army come. In addition, a reward can be offered. If you kill one Japanese pirate, the reward will be doubled, no, tripled." The wages of avarice is death! After a while, dozens of tall soldiers gathered. "In this battle, you should charge in the front, and you will be given priority in rewards after the battle!" Jiang Qingzhi made a promise first, and dozens of soldiers looked at Zhang Mao. Zhang Mao said in a deep voice: "What Jiang Maocai said is just like what I said." At this point, Zhang Mao had no choice but to shoot. Jiang Qingzhi said: "Prune the bamboo, leaving only the branches, and sharpen the tops to be as sharp as spears." Afterwards, dozens of soldiers began training. More than a hundred soldiers were holding swords and spears and preparing to charge. In the front were shield bearers, followed by dozens of soldiers holding modified bamboos. "Assassination!" "kill!" With the shield bearer protecting him in front, Maozhu's stabbing was very stable. Just one strike caused the front row of the enemy to retreat one after another. If one were to get close to the enemy and strike with all his strength during a battle, many of them would probably fall. Zhang Mao's eyes narrowed, "This..." Wang Yu blinked his eyes, "What kind of formation is this?" A variation of the Mandarin Duck Formation... Jiang Qingzhi crossed his arms and, after practicing for half an hour, said, "It is better to sharpen your spear before the battle. Even if it is not bright, it will shine. Let's go!" Each of them was a battle of encounter. If the first wave of attacks was successful, the fear of the Japanese pirates among the Ming army soldiers would be dispelled by the rewards. Zhang Mao approached Jiang Qingzhi and coughed dryly, "I don't know where Maocai got this formation from."
"I studied in my dreams." Jiang Qingzhi said seriously. Old Qi, I’m sorry. I have never offended you, have I?... Zhang Mao naturally didn't believe it. He suppressed his doubts and waited for the effect of this formation in battle. If it's good, he is willing to bow his head and ask for advice, or even become the disciple. …… "Chief, those people are starving. Some are whispering that they want to escape back to Ming." "There are still people spreading bad things about the leader!" Qingmu Yishan listened to all this in silence for a long time, then sighed: "Forget it, attack!" If he didn't attack, he knew he wouldn't survive the night. He left behind a dozen old and weak men to guard the fleet, and took the remaining hundred or so Japanese pirates ashore. "Attack!" That afternoon, Japanese pirate scouts discovered the caravan. "Just three miles ahead." "Are there any traces of enemy troops?" Qingmu Yishan looked around. "No." Everyone fell silent, with only the sound of rumbling intestines being heard. I'm so fucking hungry! Qing Mu Yi Shan took a deep breath and said, "It seems that God will not abandon me, Qing Mu Yi Shan!" He thought of the girl, whose father had no children…If he married her, Aoki Ichiyama wouldn’t have to work so hard. Thinking of this, all caution disappeared. "I ate the last of my rations." The Japanese pirates ate the rice balls, which were mostly made of wild vegetables, and gave them the flavor and aroma of delicacies from land and sea, and each person was only given one. "Now we don't have a single rice ball. Either we succeed in the robbery, or we starve to death together!" Qingmu Yishan thought of burning his boats and drew his sword: "Attack!" Three miles, the speed goes from slow to fast... Someone in the caravan turned around and screamed, "There are pirates!" "Run!" Everyone panicked and drove their carriages away. As the speed increased, sacks on the carriage kept falling off. The contents of the bag were scattered all over the road and even on the sides.
“It’s rice!” The Japanese pirates howled. "How blessed God has been to me?" Aoki Ichisan couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw the white rice. "kill!" He rushed forward first, ready to kill someone to boost morale. He was very fast, and when he felt the sharp pain in his feet, he still rushed forward relying on inertia... "what!" There were screams coming from behind. "Not good!" Aoki Ichisan lowered his head and saw caltrops among the rice. "What are you waiting for?" In the nearby woods, Jiang Qingzhi only needed a goose feather fan in his hand. He pointed outside calmly, "Attack!" "kill!" First there was a wave of arrows, and then Zhang Mao's men rushed out according to the formation they had practiced before. "The formation is a mess!" Jiang Qingzhi shook his head and followed behind, "But it's enough." "It's the Ming Army!" Qing Mu Yi Shan was not angry but happy. When he saw that the Ming army had only a few hundred people, he laughed even louder. "How dare you attack me, Qing Mu Yi Shan? Aren't you asking for your life? Gather and charge!" The Japanese pirates jumped among the caltrops and quickly gathered together. The thieves are more cultured than the officers and soldiers... Jiang Qingzhi shook his head helplessly. "Maocai." Zhang Mao did not lead the team, but followed Jiang Qingzhi. "Just watch." Jiang Qingzhi frowned and looked at him, "Don't shake the morale of the army!" If the commander of an army did not charge forward at this time, Jiang Qingzhi, if he were the commander, would certainly kill Zhang Mao to warn his subordinates. "Shoot!" More than ten Japanese pirates had been shot to death by a wave of arrows before, and now they took the lead in launching a counterattack. The shieldman in front protected the wolf-whip man behind him. "The Ming army is well prepared." The Japanese pirates around him cursed, "But our warriors can fight ten or even twenty at a time in close combat." Qing Mu Yi Shan nodded, and the pain in his feet continued. He frowned and sneered, "Just one strike, and it will defeat the Ming army." The Ming army was timid, and once the first wave of attacks was successful, their morale would quickly collapse. Aoki Kazuyama's method has been tried and tested time and time again. "After defeating the Ming army, remember to pursue and kill them." Aoki Ichisan gave the order casually. "Yes, eh!" The subordinate suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What?" Aoki Ichisan, who was looking down at the wound on the sole of his foot, looked up when he heard the voice. Then I saw the Japanese pirates in front of me jumping up and brandishing their swords. Japanese swords were extremely sharp, and whenever the Ming army tried to block, their weapons would often be cut off. The shield bearer went up. Behind the Ming army's shield bearers, something covered with branches suddenly stretched out. "What it is?" Aoki Ichiyama stood on one leg, stunned. "kill!" This was the first time that the wolf's whisk appeared on the battlefield, and everyone was waiting for the result. The shield blocked the first wave of attacks, and then the wolf-spear fighter stabbed with all his might. The sharp tip of the old bamboo pierced into the body of the Japanese pirate, and then struggled to be retrieved. Amid screams, a Japanese pirate struggled to cut off the wolf-whip. Qing Mu Yi Shan was overjoyed, "Assault." But the tip of the wolf-whip, which had been cut off, was still sharp. "kill!" The proud Japanese pirates fell down in disbelief. This wave of attacks killed more than ten Japanese pirates who had been rampant for many years. This! Who would have dared to imagine such an outcome before the war? "Even pigs are smarter than you. What are you waiting for?" Jiang Qingzhi cursed over Zhang Mao. The archer was also stunned and subconsciously let go when he heard the sound. After a wave of arrows rained down, Jiang Qingzhi shouted, "Charge!" The first wave of attacks was effective, boosting the morale of the Ming army. When they heard the clear voice of the young man, they all shouted in unison, "Assault!" This was also the first time that this group of Japanese pirates suffered a setback in many years, and they suffered heavy casualties. As one side gained strength, the other side lost strength. When the Ming army launched the attack, the Japanese pirates subconsciously looked back at Aoki Issan. "Counterattack!" Aoki Ichishan's face turned pale. "Order the ambush troops to attack and send them off!" Jiang Qingzhi laughed. A horn sounded, and a group of Japanese pirates suddenly rushed out from behind. If the Japanese pirates took the initiative, Aoki Ichiyama would not mind being attacked from both sides. The worst that could happen was that he would just kill them. But at this moment, the morale of the Japanese pirates was in chaos. It was their first setback in many years, and they were at a loss.
The timing of the ambush was just right... Wang Yu couldn't help but glance at Jiang Qingzhi, wondering if this young man had a natural talent for military tactics? I seem to be on the wrong side. "Run!" The first defeated Japanese pirates appeared. "All troops attack!" Jiang Qingzhi took over the command without hesitation. "Kill!" Zhang Mao also subconsciously obeyed the order and rushed forward with his confidants. "Young Master, what about me? What about me!" Sun Chonglou stomped his feet impatiently. "go Go!" Jiang Qingzhi kicked him and said, "Kill a few more Japanese pirates." "Order!" Jiang Qingzhi was accompanied by five soldiers left by Chen Ba, so he was safe. "Leader!" The second leader screamed for help as Sun Chonglou cut off his right hand. The knife flashed, and the head fell. Sun Chonglou's face was sprayed with blood. After picking up the head, he raised his eyes and stared at Qingmu Yishan with murderous intent, "Are you the leader?" "Run back, let's go back!" The second leader couldn't even block the boy's sword... Aoki Ichisan turned around and ran without hesitation. As long as he escapes back to the sea, he will have a chance to make a comeback. "Blow the horn." Jiang Qingzhi ordered, ignoring the admiring looks of the five soldiers around him, and yawned in an unpresentable manner, "It's too unchallenging." At the sound of the horn, Chen Ba and his men rushed towards the fleet. For Maocai... Chen Ba's eyes were filled with determination, and he shouted, "Kill them." Soon, fireworks rose on the beach. Retreat. Gone! …… Please vote, monthly vote, recommendation vote! The new book needs the support of brothers. (End of this chapter)
