Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Chapter 116 The Japanese sneak attack!

"General," Youchuan Shili said with some embarrassment, "In fact, we don't need to confront them here. We have always been mainly engaged in plundering, and a direct conflict with the government troops would cause too much loss."

"They are all Daxia people, what's a pity?" Uesugi Jiro coldly rejected Ukawa Jusuri's suggestion, "Besides, His Majesty the Emperor has changed his mind. Now we need to occupy more Daxia land."

Ukawa didn't say anything else. After all, he was just a down-and-out samurai from Japan. He was able to be arranged to come to Daxia to become the leader of the Japanese pirates thanks to the support of Shan Jiro.

Seeing that Uekawa was reluctant, Uesugi Jiro continued, "They have been recruiting soldiers these past two days, and the new soldiers have been training non-stop. By the time they have the advantage in numbers, we will probably have to retreat back to the sea, not to mention plundering."

Compared with Ukawa Jusuri, Ueyama Jiro is obviously more intelligent and far-sighted. Ukawa Jusuri is naturally convinced and immediately prepares to take action according to Ueyama Jiro's deployment.

"Ukawa-kun, we have no chance of winning head-on!"

Jiro Uesugi was not a conceited person. Although he had the pride of a samurai in his bones, he had already understood through observations over the past few days that even if the number of Japanese pirates was twice that of the anti-Japanese army, the chances of winning a head-on battle were not great.

Therefore, night attack is the best method and the only method.

In the Japanese pirate camp, a short and fat middle-aged man was crying bitterly.

This person was Zhou Hai, a former salt merchant in Jinghai County.

He cried with tears and snot: "Mr. Youchuan, when you conquer Chongchuan County, our Zhou family will go all out and continue to support you! But if I go to the battlefield, I will die!"

However, facing Zhou Hai who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Youchuan was unmoved and didn't even bother to take a second look at him.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Hai hurriedly knelt forward a few steps, and tightly grasped Youchuan's skirt, begging bitterly: "Youchuan Jun, Youchuan Jun! Half a month ago, we were drinking and having fun together, calling each other brothers! Please have mercy on me and spare my life! I can't die, I still have a wife and children to take care of!"

In response to Zhou Hai's desperate pleas, Youchuan just cast a contemptuous look, and then responded with a fake smile: "Hey, Brother Zhou, you can rest assured. As for your wife and children, we will naturally take good care of them for you."

Hearing this, Zhou Hai's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and he muttered: "Youchuan Jun... Youchuan Jun... You can't do this..."

Zhou Hai had just said half of his words when Youchuan Shili's Japanese sword had already pierced through his chest, giving him a chill that went straight to his core.

"Stop making noise! ​​I don't have time to waste!" Youchuan drew out his Japanese sword and shouted, "Give Zhou Hai's family members to each of you brothers as slaves. You can choose yourselves!"

"Great!!!" a group of Japanese pirates shouted excitedly.

"Who else is unwilling to go to the battlefield?" Youchuan Shili's vicious eyes were like a poisonous snake, coldly and ruthlessly sweeping over the officials and wealthy businessmen who had just come to surrender today.

These people were so nervous that they were shaking all over, and some of them even turned pale with fear, but no one dared to say a word.

Going to the battlefield means a life-or-death situation, and everyone present knows this.

If they were to confront Youchuan Shili now, they would be dead for sure. They could still tell the difference clearly.

Although their hearts were filled with fear and anxiety, they could only choose to remain silent.

However, what these officials and wealthy businessmen did not know was that even if they really went to the battlefield, there was no possibility of survival at all.

Because they were just used as cannon fodder, and their only purpose of existence was to attract the attention of the anti-Japanese army.

May 15th, the sixth year of Yongjia.

Just after the hour of Chou, under the moonlight, thousands of Japanese pirates rushed towards the anti-Japanese army in an endless stream like a group of irrational and crazy beasts.

Their actions were chaotic and disorderly, like a group of ants smelling the aroma of candied fruit, rushing forward fearlessly.

After a fierce battle with the anti-Japanese army, the Japanese pirates in the front were shot or surrounded and fell to the ground, but soon after, follow-up troops came like a tide.

Of course, those officials and wealthy businessmen who had collaborated with the enemy and committed treason had already died in the first round of attacks.

Wu Baisheng stared at the strange battle situation, his heart tightened, and he quickly sent soldiers to report to Mu Jinyu and Xia Qin.

However, they did not realize that those who continued to attack the anti-Japanese defense lines were all pirates from Daxia.

At the same time, a large number of Japanese samurai led by Jiro Uesugi and some Japanese ninjas quietly sailed around the sea and rushed straight to the rear of the anti-Japanese army, trying to tear open a gap and then attack the anti-Japanese army from both sides.

Compared with the soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Japanese are more familiar with and closer to the ocean.

At this moment, dozens of light boats loaded with Japanese warriors and ninjas were silently approaching the beach dozens of miles away from the battlefield.

In the clear night sky, a bright moon hangs high without a trace of cloud blocking it. The silver light it casts illuminates the entire sea surface. The clear moon shadow cast on the sea surface, together with the moonlight, illuminates the beach as if it were daytime.

These Japanese crossed the beach as quickly as ghosts and landed on the land.

Uesugi Jiro was secretly proud of himself, and at the same time, he felt a little fortunate: "It seems that the other party is just a facade, and they didn't set up defenses here. Speed ​​up and sneak into the woods. Try to reach the rear of the Daxia garrison within an hour!"

This extraordinary tranquility and smoothness made him feel suspicious, but at the same time he was also full of expectations.

More than half an hour had passed, and Uesugi Jiro could already vaguely hear the sounds of fighting coming from afar.

He lowered his voice to remind everyone: "Stay alert, be careful to hide your whereabouts, and make sure this strike is a sure kill! As long as we successfully tear open a gap, we can launch a full-scale attack. There is no need to confront the enemy head-on. We can march directly into the heart of Jinghai County and force them to disrupt their formation and chase us!"

"Yes!" the men answered in unison.

They continued to grope forward cautiously, and their destination was less than five miles away.

At this moment, hiding in the woods, they had completed half of the mission.

"Get ready for a full sprint!" Jiro Uesugi gave the order softly, with determination and courage flashing in his eyes.

Five miles away, even if the anti-Japanese soldiers discovered it, it would be too late to react!

However, at this moment, objects with flames on their tails landed near them under the moonlight.

"What is this? You said..." Uesugi Jiro's face changed.

"Get out of the way!" Ukawa Juuri, who had witnessed the power of bamboo thunder, shouted loudly and pulled Uesugi Jiro, who was stunned for a moment, aside.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sounds of bamboo thunder rang out near this group of Japanese people. Many people lost their lives or were seriously injured before they could react.

But soon, Jiro Uesugi reacted and responded in time.

"Everyone disperse and hide! Don't gather together!"

The bamboo thunder was still roaring, but it was of little effect against the scattered Japanese.

"It was like something suddenly exploded, and the iron pieces inside could cause serious injuries." Uesugi Jiro was thinking about Ukawa Jusuri's description of the bamboo thunder.

Ambushed!

Retreat or break out?

Uesugi Jiro's brain was thinking rapidly.

He looked at the situation around him. He led about 500 people, and now there were less than 100 casualties, and they were all good fighters. No matter which choice he made, the hope of success was not small.

But if I go forward, I don’t know if there are more ambushes waiting for me.

"Retreat!" After hesitating for a moment, he made the decision.

These people are his elite men, and it is not worth it for him to suffer such heavy casualties here.

At the command, they returned along the same route without any hesitation.

No longer careful to avoid exposing their whereabouts, they retreated much faster than they had come.

However, after walking only ten miles, they were met with a hail of arrows.

There was no way out, they could only hide again.

"General Uesugi, there are about two hundred people, about fifty meters ahead. They are not the same group as before." A trusted subordinate reported to Uesugi Jiro after observation.

"The pursuers may be here soon," Uesugi Jiro made a prompt decision, "divide into three groups, attack from the front and the left and right sides at the same time, close combat!"

In close combat, Mu Jinyu's personal guards, who had hurriedly come to ambush, had weaker combat effectiveness, and coupled with the numerical disadvantage, they quickly fell into a passive position.

Xia Qin and the Night Owl Squad were chasing after them from behind, but the two sides were already engaged in a battle and the bamboo mines were no longer useful.

"Brother Huo, let's go together!" Xia Qin saw that dozens of Mu Jinyu's personal guards had been killed or injured in just a few moments, and if he didn't lend a hand, the entire army would probably be wiped out, so he also prepared to charge into the battle.

Mo Ye grabbed her and said, "The Japanese ninjas and Japanese warriors are not simple, they are too dangerous!"

Seeing that Mo Ye had no intention of taking action, Xia Qin became anxious: "It will take some time for the anti-Japanese soldiers to arrive. These..."

As Xia Qin was speaking, Ah Gui suddenly flew out from the woods and came to Mo Ye's side.

"Brother Mo, everyone is here."
