Chapter 2046 No Abnormality
On both sides of the ferry, reeds swayed, and a dirt road led to the stone bridge. In the reed marsh, there were more than 800 Japanese pirates camouflaged in reed woven clothes, looking viciously to the south, like wolves waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on hunters.
"Is the tripwire buried?" Ma Ye asked gritting his teeth. At this moment, his mind was full of revenge.
"All eighteen tripwires have been buried. Grooves have been dug on the road, the tripwires have been placed, and then covered with soil. Even if the Zhejiang army lies on the ground, they cannot be seen. When the time comes, as long as the tripwires are pulled up, no matter how many horses the Zhejiang army has, they will not be able to pass this road of death." The trusted Japanese pirate replied confidently.
"Very good, I will teach Zhu Ping'an a bloody lesson and let him know that we, the Tuolin Japanese pirates, are not his book of merit for him to take whatever he wants! We are his book of life and death!" Ma Ye gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
He led his troops to northern Zhejiang this time with his personal ambitions. It was not only to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys so that the people of Zhejiang would not dare to abide by the ten-household-number baojia system, but also to expand his personal prestige.
At present, among the Japanese pirates in Takulin, he is nominally on equal footing with Xu Hai, but since the Battle of Suzhou, the Battle of Jiaxing and the recent looting of Southern Zhili and Northern Zhejiang, Xu Hai's personal prestige has far surpassed his.
If this continues, it won't be long before Xu Hai will have the final say over the Takulin pirates.
He, Ma Ye, had to either submit to Xu Hai's leadership, or be killed by Xu Hai, or run away.
However, he was unwilling to bow to Xu Hai; if he were asked to fight with Xu Hai, Xu Hai's prestige was unparalleled at the time, far surpassing his. Many Japanese pirates who came to him for unknown reasons had surrendered to Xu Hai. The Japanese pirates under his command were far less numerous than Xu Hai. If he fought with Xu Hai, he would only be annexed. As for leaving, the same logic applied. Xu Hai's prestige was far superior to his. Even if he left, he would not be able to take many Japanese pirates with him. If these troops left, he would not be able to make a living outside. He would not have an advantage over the Ming army or other Japanese pirates.
Therefore, this time when he sent troops to northern Zhejiang, he wanted to regain his strength and enhance his prestige so that he could compete with Xu Hai.
pity!
Damn Zhu Ping'an, he ruined everything!
This time the defeat was like a landslide. There were more than 5,000 soldiers when they came, but there were probably only 1,000 left when they returned. He wanted to improve his prestige, but it was wiped out. One can imagine how the Japanese pirates in Tuo Lin's old nest laughed at him.
You still want to compete with Xu Hai? Just dream on. Forget it. You have become a laughing stock in the eyes of the Japanese pirates in their old nest.
but!
still have a chance!
He, Xu Hai, turned defeat into victory in Jiangyin County yesterday and almost wiped out the famous Shandong spearmen. Not only did his prestige not decrease in the slightest, but it soared!
Today you can too!
As long as he succeeds in ambush the Zhejiang army today, his previous hemorrhage will further highlight this success.
At that time, under the city of Suzhou, Xu Hai and the other four Japanese chieftains led 40,000 troops to attack Suzhou. However, they were defeated by Zhu Ping'an's 2,000 Zhejiang troops and were defeated. The soldiers fled in panic, with blood flowing like a river, and more than 30,000 Japanese pirates died. It was so tragic.
However, the Zhejiang Army's own losses were almost negligible.
Today, the number of Zhejiang troops ambushed today is definitely no less than two thousand. As long as I succeed in ambush the Zhejiang army today and inflict severe damage on them, as long as I chop off a few hundred of their heads, I will be more powerful than Xu Hai.
As long as I compare it with the battle of Suzhou, I will feel awesome, my prestige will soar, and it will not be a dream for me to compete with Xu Hai.
Do not believe?
Compare.
In the Battle of Suzhou, Xu Hai was killed by Zhu Ping'an without any chance to fight back. Only a few hundred of his 40,000-strong army escaped, and the damage to the Zhejiang army was almost negligible. If it had not been for the lucky capture of Jiaxing and the restoration of strength, Xu Hai's position as leader would have come to an end.
Today, I led 5,000 Japanese pirates, defeated them first and then won, ambushed the Zhejiang army, and cut off hundreds of their heads!!!
Do you think I am better than Xu Hai? !
Xu Hai will be defeated when he meets the Zhejiang Army, but I will win when I meet the Zhejiang Army! Xu Hai couldn't chop off the heads of the Zhejiang Army, but I, Xu Hai, chopped off hundreds of heads! What Xu Hai couldn't do, I, Ma Ye, did, so I am better than him, Xu Hai!
Xu Hai's prestige is at its peak. After all, he will achieve success for himself, and his prestige will be greater than Xu Hai's.
At that time, who has the final say over the Japanese pirates in Takulin?
Then you have to ask me Ma Ye first!
Wang Zhi could be crowned king, and he could occupy land and found a kingdom overseas, so why can't I, Ma Ye?!
The more he thought about it, the more excited Ma Ye became!
"Captain, there is movement in the south. There are Zhejiang Army pursuers coming. They appear to be Zhejiang Army scouts."
When Ma Ye was about to get excited just thinking about it, a trusted Japanese pirate beside him gently pushed his arm, cautiously pointed at two Zhejiang cavalrymen who appeared on the road to the south, and quietly reminded Ma Ye.
In their sight, two Zhejiang Army cavalrymen appeared in the south. They were wearing the Zhejiang Army's iconic cotton armor and were armed to the teeth.
"Inform them not to reveal their whereabouts, be careful to hide, don't make any noise, and don't let the Zhejiang Army scouts find them."
Maye looked around and gave a soft command.
"Don't worry, chief. We have been on guard against Zhejiang Army scouts for a long time. We went into the reed marsh from the back path. Everyone was wearing camouflage made of reeds. The Zhejiang Army scouts could not see anything when they scouted from the front, and would definitely not find any clues. The place where we are hiding is more than a hundred meters away from the roadside. The Zhejiang Army scouts will not search so deep." The trusted Japanese pirate said confidently.
"It's better to be careful." Ma Ye glared at him, "If anyone reveals his whereabouts, I will skin him alive!"
The trusted Japanese pirates carefully passed on Ma Ye's order in a relay manner, whispering it one by one.
The Japanese pirates in the reed marsh crouched even lower, not making a sound or even daring to breathe, for fear that they would be heard by the Zhejiang Army scouts in the distance, exposing their whereabouts and being skinned alive with hemp leaves.
Soon, two Zhejiang Army scouts rode over from a distance, first passing through a forest, and then beyond the forest was the reed marsh where the Japanese pirates were lying in ambush.
When the Zhejiang Army scouts passed through the woods, they reined in their horses and carefully searched the woods, fearing that there might be an ambush of Japanese pirates in the woods.
The Zhejiang Army scout was very careful. After reining in his horse, he dismounted, tied the horse to a tree, and walked into the woods to investigate.
A few minutes later, two Zhejiang Army scouts came out of the woods, confirmed that there were no ambushes in the woods, and continued to scout forward.
Soon, the two Zhejiang Army scouts arrived in front of the reed marsh. They dismounted their horses again and walked towards the reed marsh.
A hundred meters away, in the reed marsh, the Japanese pirates were camouflaged in reeds, holding their breath, and not moving a single muscle.
The Zhejiang Army scout walked in, fiddling with the reeds left and right with the long knife in his hand, examining the area very carefully.
Ten meters
Thirty meters
fifty meters
Seventy meters.
The Zhejiang Army scouts walked further and further in, under the nervous gaze of Ma Ye and others, they walked more than 80 meters. When they were about to reach the position of the Japanese pirates' ambush, the two Zhejiang Army scouts stopped and no longer moved forward.
"Nothing unusual."
"Neither do I."
The two Zhejiang Army scouts nodded and turned to walk out.
Ma Ye and other Japanese pirates breathed a sigh of relief.
