Chapter 2036: Ambush
"Stop! The Japanese pirates threw gold, silver and jewelry to attract us and get rid of our pursuit! The gold, silver and jewelry are all on the ground. They can't escape. They are all ours. After the war, I will distribute them equally to everyone!
"Everyone, supervise each other. If you find something, throw it on the ground immediately. I will not punish you for it. Otherwise, if someone reports it, I will not only double the fine, but also beat you with a hundred sticks! Even if you are beaten to death, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"Don't fall for the pirates' tricks and don't let them escape! If you win the battle, there will be more rewards!"
Li Fengshi discovered the Japanese pirates' trick of throwing gold and silver to attract attention, so he rode forward and shouted, ordering the Shandong spearmen to continue chasing the Japanese pirates.
At Li Fengshi's command, several Shandong spearmen vanguards who had picked up gold and silver threw away the gold and silver in their hands, and the spearmen continued to chase the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates did not run far and were easily caught up by the Shandong spearmen. Another fight greatly slowed down the speed of the Japanese pirates.
"Damn it! They didn't even take the bait and did their job!"
"Run quickly, the Ming dogs didn't fall for it, they're still chasing us."
"Get out of the way. If you're slow, don't block my way!"
The Japanese pirates fell into chaos, fighting for their lives, and no one wanted to face the Ming pursuers behind them.
Seeing this scene, Li Fengshi could not help but wave his hand and shouted, "All troops, attack and wipe out the Japanese pirates!"
So, the Shandong spearmen under his command held up their iconic spears, formed a spear formation, and charged forward in large strides.
However, due to the narrow road, uneven slopes on both sides, and the surrounding river networks, bamboo forests, and rice fields, the Shandong spearmen were unable to deploy their iconic spear formations and could only disperse in groups of ten or five to pursue the Japanese pirates.
Fortunately, the vanguard caught up with the Japanese pirates, and the Shandong spearmen here dispersed and quickly rushed into the battlefield.
"Surrounded!"
"The military achievement is secured!"
When Magistrate Jiang saw that the Shandong spearmen had dispersed and surrounded the thousand Japanese pirates, he couldn't help but smile. This time his trip was not in vain, and the military merit was already secured.
"Kill!"
County Magistrate Jiang drew his sword and led the yamen runners and the defeated soldiers into the battlefield, rushing towards a small group of lone Japanese pirates.
"Kill him!" "Dead!"
Just when County Magistrate Jiang was excitedly about to reap the rewards of his military exploits, he suddenly heard shouts and cries coming from the bamboo forests on both sides.
what's the situation? !
Magistrate Jiang looked towards the bamboo forest in panic, only to see Japanese pirates holding Japanese swords jumping out of the forest one after another.
There are so many that they are impossible to count.
These Japanese pirates, holding Japanese swords and with ferocious faces, rushed over shouting and killing. As soon as the battle started, they killed everyone in sight.
Without the spear formation, the Shandong spearmen's combat effectiveness dropped by more than one level. In close combat, the long spears were not as flexible as the Japanese swords. Once the Japanese pirates got close to them, they became fish on the chopping board and were hacked to death in two or three strokes.
Meanwhile, the Japanese pirates who were being chased and fleeing in front also revealed their true faces at this time. They turned around and chopped down a pursuer with two slashes of their swords.
"Damn it! We were ambushed!"
County Magistrate Jiang reacted belatedly.
"Fell into a trap!"
Li Fengshi was also panicked.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese pirates had ambushed them in the bamboo forests on both sides in advance, and deliberately led them to this carefully selected battlefield with dense river networks, narrow roads, and crisscrossing rice fields. They could not deploy their guns at all and could only disperse.
Once the Shandong spearmen lost their spear formation, it was like a tiger losing its teeth. Individually fighting, they were no match for the Japanese pirates.
"Hahaha, the damn officers and soldiers have fallen into the trap! No one will compete with me for the Jiangyin County Magistrate!" Ma Ye came out of the bamboo forest, laughing. Holding the long sword in both hands, he led his elite Japanese pirates and rushed towards County Magistrate Jiang.
Ma Ye led his elite Japanese pirates and charged towards County Magistrate Jiang like a killing god. None of the Ming troops they met on the way could stop them and they were chopped to the ground like melons and vegetables.
"Damn it! General Li, what should we do?" County Magistrate Jiang panicked when he saw Ma Ye and his gang of killers rushing towards him.
"We have fallen into the trap set by the Japanese pirates! This battlefield is not conducive to the formation of spearmen. The Japanese pirates are fierce and brave, and we are no match for them. The best thing to do now is to retreat!"
Li Fengshi looked around the battlefield and found that the Shandong spearmen who had lost their spear formation were no match for the Japanese pirates. In just a short while, hundreds of his spearmen were hacked to death or injured by the Japanese pirates. He could only grit his teeth and admit that he was no match for the Japanese pirates.
He is a veteran on the battlefield. Since he is no match for the Japanese pirates, the best strategy he can have is to retreat!
"Retreat, retreat, retreat! We have been ambushed by Japanese pirates. We have to accept defeat this time. We will seek revenge on them later!"
Li Fengshi was very decisive. When he saw that he was no match for the Japanese pirates, he immediately ordered his Shandong spearmen to retreat.
However, when he wanted to retreat, the Japanese pirates refused. They rushed out of the bamboo forest and surrounded Li Fengshi and his men.
"Yo, yo, Mr. Xu is really amazing. He even predicted that the Ming dogs would chase us out of the city! He even chose this place on purpose. The Ming dogs can't even deploy their gun formation, which limits their strength, and it's just right for us to perform well."
"The spear formation of the dog official army is still quite powerful, but without it, they are just a group of pigs waiting to be slaughtered!"
Shingen Ryuzoji and Shimosaburo Matsuura stood beside Xu Hai and saw the Japanese pirates killing the Shandong spearmen in a panic. They couldn't help but praise Xu Hai.
While he was speaking, Ma Ye and his Japanese pirates rushed to a place about ten meters in front of County Magistrate Jiang.
"Protect the county magistrate." Magistrate Jiang's entourage quickly commanded the yamen runners and defeated soldiers they brought to protect Magistrate Jiang.
Under the command of the personal followers, the yamen runners and the defeated soldiers formed three human walls to prevent the Japanese chieftain Ma Ye and his subordinates from seeking revenge on Magistrate Jiang.
"Death, dog magistrate!"
Ma Ye led his Japanese pirates to the first human wall and started slashing with their swords. The Japanese pirates were also very brutal.
The first human wall composed of officers and defeated soldiers was chopped to the ground by Ma Ye and his Japanese pirates almost the moment they met. They were no match for the Japanese pirates at all and were even weaker than the Shandong spearmen. The Shandong spearmen could at least hold out for two rounds, but they were not like them, who were chopped down by the Japanese pirates in just one encounter.
Then came the second human wall.
There was no surprise at all. Just like the first human wall, the second human wall was chopped to the ground by the Japanese pirates in an instant.
County Magistrate Jiang, who was hiding behind the last human wall, turned pale. Damn it, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself twice.
Why did he take the initiative to volunteer to follow Li Fengshi to chase the Japanese pirates? Look at him now, he has been ambushed by the Japanese pirates and is in imminent danger.
There are no courtyard walls here, so we can only fight the Japanese pirates in close combat. However, we are no match for them in close combat.
The yamen runners and defeated soldiers who formed the last human wall became frightened when they saw the first and second human walls being chopped to the ground by the Japanese pirates.
Once scared, he ran away!
In an instant, Magistrate Jiang was left with only one close follower.
