I want to ruin the country

At that time, the average height of the Japanese pirates was very short, only about 1.5 meters, about the same as a junior high school student in later generations.

Although there are more of our soldiers from Guangxi and their average height is not too high, they still look tall and strong compared to the Japanese pirates.

Moreover, the warriors are well-trained and strong. Whether they are using a broadsword or a spear, they are basically trained in killing skills. They can kill one with one or two strikes without any delay!

In an instant, the Japanese pirates were chopped to pieces and howled like ghosts, crying for their parents!

But after all, the difference in personnel is too great. Two fists cannot beat four hands, and ants can kill an elephant. A group of Japanese pirates surrounded a new army soldier. Even if you are a god, you will suffer sooner or later.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before a dozen soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

However, the soldiers did not lose their fighting spirit because of the fall of their comrades. Instead, it aroused their determination to fight against the common enemy.

They had already made up their minds to die, so everyone was even more courageous and took the lead!

Qin Zizhong had already killed seven or eight Japanese pirates when one of them slashed at him with a knife.

He knocked the pirate's knife away with the back of his knife, and then slashed at the pirate's neck.

Although Qin Zizhong tried his best to protect the blade, on the battlefield, life and death can be decided in one move, so there is no way you can be so careful. His sword has already been bent!

Before his knife reached the pirate's neck, he felt a sharp pain in his calf; his leg had been cut.

He staggered and gritted his teeth to hold on and not fall, but the Japanese pirates in front of him also escaped.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a Japanese pirate flash by behind him, and he probably thought it was him who had injured him.

He used his other good leg to exert force, turned around and faced the guy. The Japanese pirate slashed Qin Zizhong once, but when he saw that Qin Zizhong didn't fall, he wanted to slash him a second time.

Qin Zizhong would not give him this opportunity again. He chopped off the Japanese pirate's head with his powerful force.

The Japanese pirate was killed with one sword, but Captain Qin's sword was stuck in his head.

Captain Qin wanted to kick him and pull the knife back, but he forgot that one of his legs was injured and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Jiro Onizuka happened to come over. Seeing that he had an opportunity, he swung his knife and slashed at Qin Zizhong.

This guy is quite skilled and his knife is as fast as the wind.

It was too late for Qin Zizhong to hide.

"Oh, it's fun!"

Qin Zizhong closed his eyes and waited for death!

At the critical moment, someone shouted,

"Company commander"!

A short soldier rushed up to Qin Zizhong and knocked Onitsuka Jiro's long sword away with one blow.

When Captain Qin opened his eyes, he saw that it was Bai Zongli, a soldier from Guangxi.

Bai Zongli reached out his hand to pull Qin Zizhong, and Qin Zizhong used the force to stand up.

"what!"

Bai Zongli screamed, blood foam came out of his mouth, and a knife tip protruded from his chest.

It turned out that Jiro Onizuka stabbed Bai Zongli in the heart from behind!

Qin Zizhong's eyes were bloodshot, he pulled out the dagger from his waist and threw it at Onitsuka Jiro.

"Pfft!"

The dagger hit Jiro Onizuka's eye socket and penetrated deeply!

"what!"

Jiro Onizuka screamed and fell to the ground!

Qin Zizhong hugged the shaky Bai Zongli,

"brother!"

At this moment, a Japanese sword stabbed into Qin Zizhong's shoulder.

Qin Zizhong knew it was not the time to be sad, so he put Bai Zongli on the ground and yelled,

"Brother, take care. I will avenge you!"

He picked up a Japanese sword and slashed at a Japanese pirate.

This knife cut off half of the Japanese pirate's head, and another Japanese pirate stabbed Qin Zizhong in the thigh with the knife.

With three wounds on his body, Qin Zizhong could no longer stand and fell to the ground with a thud!

He laughed.

"Brother Zongli, take care. I'm chasing you!"

At this moment, "Tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick!" A loud charge horn sounded!

Then the sound of gunfire like popping beans rang out.

"Da da da da da da da da da da", the crisp sound of machine guns came over.

When Qin Zizhong heard the charge, he knew that reinforcements had arrived!

He was delighted and wanted to struggle to get up and kill the enemy, but he had no strength left in his body and collapsed to the ground.

The blood from the wound kept flowing, his eyes went dark, and he passed out!

The Japanese pirates were stunned when they heard the gunshots, and they also understood that the reinforcements of the new army had arrived.

Their five thousand men failed to capture more than a hundred people, and they didn't know how many people were coming. They didn't dare to fight anymore and ran away.

The defeat was so severe that the remaining thousand or so men didn't even know how many of their own people were trampled to death.

The soldiers who came to reinforce were not willing to let them go and chased them all the way to the beach.

The surviving pirates hurriedly boarded the ship, set sail and anchor, and ran away without caring about the other pirates!

But the sailboats were so slow when they just weighed anchor, and the new army soldiers had rocket launchers and mortars. After a round of bombardment, the several ships that tried to escape were blown to pieces or caught fire!

Two other ships had their rudders blown off and could not escape, so they were spinning in the sea.

When the Japanese pirates saw that there was no hope of catching the ship, they jumped into the sea to escape.

In such a cold day, how can you swim more than a hundred miles? You will freeze to death sooner or later.

Some couldn't bear it anymore and swam to the shore desperately to become prisoners!

In the end, none of the 5,000 people returned to Tsushima Island.

The situation encountered by the other group of Japanese pirates led by Inukai Ichi was roughly the same as that encountered by Onizuka Jiro and his men.

Just because they didn't attack tenaciously and ran away early, half of them actually escaped back.

After listening to Inukai's account of what happened, Yoshida Shigeru sat on the stool for a long time without saying a word.

The firepower of the new army was so strong that we had 10,000 men against 300 men, and were almost wiped out. What should we do?

Inukai said,

"Brother, where did the Daqing New Army get so many advanced weapons? Did they buy them from Westerners?

Our firepower is vastly superior to theirs. If they have enough ammunition, I'm afraid none of us will make it back!"

Yoshida Shigeru rubbed his forehead.

"You're right. The people of Qing can't produce these advanced weapons with their skills. They must have bought them from Westerners!"

Inukai said,

"Brother, should we report this to Lord Tokugawa? If we really want to buy weapons from the Westerners, the general must come forward!"

Yoshida Shigeru nodded.

"If we don't buy advanced gunboats and weapons, we won't be able to survive as pirates anymore. We'll be eaten by the Qing people sooner or later!"

After hearing the report from the pirates, the twelfth shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Ieharu, fell into deep thought.

Is China so strong?

When Qin Zizhong woke up, he was already lying in the rear hospital.

He opened his eyes dazedly and saw someone sitting next to him, so he asked,

"Where is this?"

Cai Hemin, who had just arrived, held his hand.

"Captain Qin, this is the hospital. You're injured!"

He opened his eyes again and saw that it was General Cai sitting next to him.
