The raging fire burned the entire forest, from the dry grass and dead branches and leaves under the trees to entire large trees. All were set on fire, whether they were bare trees or stubborn pine and cypress trees, all were burning fiercely.
The fires on the trees were like fire dragons, swirling upwards, at least dozens of meters high. They opened their bloody mouths and spewed out countless tongues of fire, burning everything, with crackling sounds constantly heard.
The fire that covered the sky brought with it thick smoke that covered the sky. This deadly combination started the hell's delivery.
One after another, the Japanese pirates in the woods were sent to hell by this pair.
"Help, help, Dad, Mom, I don't want to die, I'm still young, I don't have any offspring for our family..."
"God of sunshine, please save your people in a foreign land. I have to go back to my hometown to marry Nobuko."
"Help, help, Grandpa Zhejiang Army, help me, I surrender, I surrender, please save me, I don't want to be burned to death, it's too painful, help me..."
"Ming Gou, I'll fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations. You burned so many people to death, aren't you afraid of shortening your life?!"
"Mr. Zhu, I curse you to die a miserable death..."
In the fire, there were screams, cries for help, curses, and all kinds of sounds mixed with the crackling of the fire, like a piece of terrifying music, which magnified the terror in the hearts of the Japanese pirates countless times, twisting them, making them crazy, and hysterical...
Some Japanese pirates knelt on the ground and kowtowed madly, kowtowing in all directions and to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, begging them to save them from the sea of fire.
Some Japanese pirates cursed madly, cursing the sky, cursing the earth, cursing the Zhejiang army, and cursing Zhu Ping'an for a bad death.
Some Japanese pirates frantically searched for a way out, running left and right in the sea of fire in an attempt to find a way to survive.
... ...
No matter what they do, they cannot avoid being blocked at the door by the death express with fire and thick smoke and having to receive the express.
One after another, countless Japanese pirates were choked to death by the thick smoke and burned to death by the fire, ending their sinful lives.
Seeing my Japanese friends fall one after another, the Japanese pirates became more terrifying, more twisted and more hysterical...
Zhu Ping'an stood far away on a high slope, leading his horse, with a wet cloth covering his mouth and nose, quietly watching the burning forest.
Even though we were so far away, the thick smoke was blowing over here, making me choke so badly that it was difficult to breathe without covering my mouth and nose with a wet cloth.
pity
It's a pity that this forest was burned down by itself. There are so many trees, as well as innocent wild animals and flowers and plants in the woods. It also damages the environment. If it happened in modern times, it would definitely be criticized.
but
It's all worth it.
This fire can kill at least half of the Japanese pirates, and indirectly protect countless ordinary people from being harmed by them.
"We will patrol the area in groups of ten. Once we find a small group of Japanese pirates breaking out of the sea of fire, we will shoot them from a distance with muskets, bows and arrows."
"If a large group of Japanese pirates break through, shoot them with bows and arrows or muskets first. If the Japanese pirates do not flee but counterattack, then avoid them."
"Half an hour is the limit. When the time is up, no matter what the outcome of the battle is, gather here. There can be no delay."
Seeing the fire sweeping across the entire forest, covering the sky and the sun, Zhu Ping'an slowly gave orders to his soldiers.
"Yes, sir."
The Zhejiang army officers and soldiers followed the order and separated into groups of ten, riding on mules and horses, and went far away around the burning woods.
Like Zhu Ping'an, they all covered their mouths and noses with wet cloth to avoid suffocation by inhaling thick smoke.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, I didn't expect that I, Xu Hai, would be buried here. Is it time? Luck? Fate?"
Several patches of Xu Hai's hair were burnt, and his face was covered in black and gray patches. He was laughing like a madman.
This is a true portrayal of being at the end of one's rope.
He hadn't expected that his Suzhou strategy would end up like this, and he had never dreamed it would be so miserable.
His worst-case scenario was that he would fail in his mission and fail to capture the city of Suzhou.
As for dying here? !
Hahaha, just kidding. He, Xu Hai, formed an alliance with Ma Ye, Chen Dong, and Hojo Michisan. He has a heavy say in the alliance and is the leader. He has more than 40,000 Japanese pirates under his command. His military strength is second only to that of Hui Wang Wang Zhi. In the entire Jiangnan region, no Ming army has more troops than his. This time, he will lead more than 30,000 troops to attack Suzhou. Even if he cannot capture the city, retreating safely will definitely not be a problem.
How many soldiers and horses does Suzhou have? ! Adding up all of them, at most there are only tens of thousands of people! And their fighting power is very poor.
How could such a small number of troops keep Xu Hai at bay
But
I never expected that, no matter how much heaven and earth calculated, I would end up like this! I would be burned to death here in such a miserable way!
hateful!
It's a pity that I, Xu Hai, have not been able to fully display my ambitions and strategies, it's a pity that I haven't been able to show my skills, it's a pity that my grand plans... ... have come to an end. I hate it so much, I hate it so much.
Damn Zhu Ping'an!
It's all this damn thief's fault! Damn thief, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!
"Damn God, I hate it so much, I don't accept it, I don't accept it, I don't accept it... I, Xu Hai, have ambitions to rule the world, how can I die in this unknown little forest, at the hands of a little thief! I don't accept it, I, Xu Hai, don't accept it!"
Xu Hai seemed to be crazy. He staggered around in circles, with a ferocious face and roared madly towards the sky.
He really doesn't accept it!
Xu Hai had more than 40,000 Japanese pirates under his command, while Zhu Ping'an had only 2,000 soldiers. Despite such a huge disparity in strength, Xu Hai was defeated by Zhu Ping'an and even ended up dying in an unknown grove!
How could he obey
However, no matter how unwilling he was, it was of no use. The fact was that Xu Hai was going to die in the sea of fire in this unknown grove.
It's not that Xu Hai didn't struggle, but there was fire all around him. Several attempts ended in vain. From more than a thousand people at the beginning, he suffered heavy casualties and in the end, there were less than a hundred Japanese pirates following him, and he was almost burned to death.
At that time, a burning tree collapsed with a loud bang. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and pulled a Japanese pirate to take the blame, thus escaping the disaster.
"Cough, cough, am I going to die here?" Xu Hai bent over and started coughing violently, feeling like he was suffocating.
"Chief, pee on your sleeves and cover your mouth and nose with your sleeves, you will feel better." A Japanese pirate behind him reminded.
"Damn it, why didn't you say it earlier!"
Xu Hai cursed, took off his pants without saying a word and peed all over his sleeve. He covered his mouth and nose with the wet sleeve, ignoring the smell of urine.
It’s much better indeed.
"Everyone, pee on your sleeves and cover your mouth and nose. Try it again for me. I don't believe that I, Xu Hai, will die here!" Xu Hai ordered the Japanese pirates around him to follow suit and pee on their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses, and once again organized a breakout from the sea of fire.
