Nakamura-kun favors us, we cannot embarrass him, this time we must kill the Zhejiang Army camp with the least number of people and burn it to the ground, we are the ace elite under Nakamura-kun! A mere 800 regiment training battalion, not even a regular army, we can easily capture it!
A group of forty Japanese pirates confidently rushed towards the Zhejiang army camp under the cover of night.
"Baga! What's a small camp doing like a hedgehog?"
Seeing the deer horns, fences, and three-meter-deep trenches in front of the Zhejiang Army camp, the group of Japanese pirates couldn't help but curse.
"Go straight to the gate!"
The leader of the Japanese pirates gave the order without hesitation and led his pirates straight to the gate of the Zhejiang army camp.
When they arrived at the gate, they found that there was not a single soldier guarding the gate. There was only one soldier blocking the gate like a deer trying to cover up his ears while stealing a bell.
The entire camp was extremely quiet, with only the faint sound of snoring coming from it. It seemed that all the soldiers were asleep.
As expected, they are not regular troops and have no vigilance at all. It seems that we can complete the task easily.
The Japanese pirates looked at each other, smiled with ease and confidence, carefully moved the deer horns that were blocking the door, cleared a passage, and led by the leading Japanese pirate, rushed into the Zhejiang army camp.
They worked in groups of three and rushed towards several nearby tents.
“Kill!”
Shouts of killing were heard in Japanese, shrill whistles sounded, and the Japanese pirates lifted the curtain of the military tent and were about to start a massacre.
As soon as they opened the door curtain, they couldn't help but be stunned. Why are there so many bright spots in the dark tent? Are these idiot soldiers burning incense and worshiping gods in the tent? A bunch of idiots, even gods can't save your lives.
As soon as this thought flashed through the minds of the Japanese pirates, they saw flashes of fire in the tent, accompanied by loud "bang bang bang" sounds. Then their bodies were hit by a huge force, and they fell backwards involuntarily, with blood splattering everywhere.
As I fell backwards, I heard the explosion and saw Mingren's sinister smile...
Shit, that's not incense for worshipping gods, that's a small iron cannon... ... Despicable Ming dog, he actually tricked us... ...
The Japanese pirates only reacted at the moment of death, but it was too late. Their bodies fell uncontrollably to the ground, splashing a layer of dust, and they ended their sinful lives in anger and unwillingness.
The Japanese pirates who rushed towards other tents suffered the same fate. The moment they opened their tents, they were hit by a dozen muskets.
Six Japanese pirates rushed towards the military tent that was a little further away. Before they reached the target tent, the other pirates had already opened the military tent and were hit by muskets. Having been experienced in many battles, they reacted instantly and realized, "Oh shit, we've been ambushed." Their forward speed slowed down instantly and their upper bodies were already turning.
Unfortunately, before they could turn around, they saw that the two tents in front of them opened wide when the muskets sounded, and a team of Ming soldiers came out with muskets in hand and opened fire at them before they even stood still.
Forty Zhejiang Army soldiers walked out of the two tents and forty gunshots were heard.
The six pirates were still turning and had no time to evade before they were covered by dense bullets...
Although the shooting accuracy was insufficient at night, the distance was short and forty bullets were enough to cover six Japanese pirates.
The six Japanese pirates were beaten to pieces in terror...
In just a few seconds, all the Japanese pirates who confidently rushed into the Zhejiang Army camp were killed.
"Go forward and check. Kill them all, dead or not. Leave fifty men to guard the camp, and the rest follow me!"
Zhu Ping'an walked out of the darkness and gave orders loudly.
"Yes, sir."
All the Zhejiang soldiers were full of admiration for Zhu Ping'an and looked at him as if he were a god.
Next door, the Jianghuai camp was still struggling to resist the Japanese pirates who had rushed into the camp, and the situation was in a stalemate.
The Jianghuai Camp reacted after two groups of patrolling soldiers bought precious time with their lives.
Linhuai Hou issued orders in the rear, urging the soldiers who had reacted to the situation to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates who had rushed into the camp.
A large number of Jianghuai soldiers slowly gathered towards the front camp. After witnessing the Japanese pirates killing people without blinking an eye and chopping down their comrades who were leading the charge like cutting melons and vegetables, the Jianghuai soldiers were obviously frightened.
As for the Japanese pirates, although they were extremely fierce, any Jianghuai soldiers who dared to lead the charge were chopped down by them, while they were surprisingly brave and did not lose a single Japanese pirate. Only a dozen or so were injured. The Jianghuai soldiers on the opposite side were frightened and became so timid that they dared not move forward. They took the initiative on the situation, but after all, they were outnumbered and could not expand their results.
For a moment, there was a stalemate.
"Damn it! We still have more than 2,000 people, and there are only 80 on the other side. Why should we be afraid of them? Come on, everyone. Why are you standing there like idiots? If anyone doesn't come on, I will punish you later!"
At this time, Marquis Linhuai, who had assembled the personal guard camp, also had the courage to go into battle. Seeing that his own soldiers were frightened like frightened rabbits by eighty Japanese pirates, he could not help but get angry and waved his saber and started threatening loudly.
Under the threat of Linhuai Hou, a group of Jianghuai soldiers gritted their teeth, formed a dense formation, and pressed forward towards the Japanese pirates step by step.
"Kill him!"
The leader of the Japanese pirates waved his sword and bravely led his pirates to rush towards the Jianghuai soldiers, rushing faster than them.
Oh shit!
The Japanese pirates were so fierce that the Jianghuai soldiers suddenly panicked. For a moment, the battle line was in chaos, and the originally straight battle formation suddenly became curved and scattered.
The Japanese pirates would not miss this opportunity. Led by the leading Japanese pirate, they pounced on the scattered Jianghuai soldiers and chopped down a dozen of the front soldiers like chopping vegetables and melons.
Suddenly, the Jianghuai soldiers became even more cowardly and retreated seven or eight feet away. If it weren't for Linhuai Hou's command to kill several fleeing soldiers to establish his authority and control the situation, half of them would have run away.
Linhuai Hou was so angry that he cursed loudly behind him.
"Hahaha, they're just a bunch of two-legged sheep holding weapons." The Japanese pirates burst into laughter upon seeing this.
Just at this moment, they heard footsteps coming from the gate, and the Japanese pirates, Linhuai Hou and others all turned their heads to look.
In their sight, teams of Zhejiang soldiers armed with muskets rushed into the gate and formed three rows in the blink of an eye, one row squatting, one row bending over, and one row standing. Without saying a word, they opened fire at the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates were surrounded by dense bullets before they could react. They were defeated before they could even use their full strength.
"Uncle, are you okay?" Zhu Ping'an walked out from the smoke and asked Linhuai Hou in the distance.
"My dear nephew, if it weren't for your advice last night, I would have been in great trouble today..."
Linhuai Hou excitedly stepped past the crowd with his stout body and trotted towards them, his voice choked with sobs.
