Chapter 190 Chu Nan has made another great contribution!
“Damn Chu Nan!” He didn’t even need to guess, it must be Chu Nan’s plan!

“I didn’t expect these Chinese people to be so cunning. What a bastard!”

“When I escape back to Japan, I will come back and destroy you all!” Thinking of this, he was already close to their ship. As long as he got on the boat, everything would be easy.

“Sir, something bad has happened!” But just as he was thinking this, the Japanese pirates under his command shouted that something bad had happened.

“Look, there are Ming troops on our ship!”

“What!” Seeing this situation, Taro Kojima was stunned. If the ship was occupied by the Ming army, what would they do back?

Then there were pursuers behind them, and they could not go back even more. In that case, they could only flee to the inland areas of Ming Dynasty and wait for an opportunity to escape.

But if that really happened, they would probably be caught by the Ming army before they could run for long. Even a random village chief could capture them and kill them.

So Kojima Taro was really anxious: “How many people are on the ship? Have all the ships been destroyed?”

He asked his men anxiously.

“Yes, they have all fallen, but even with all the ships added up, there seem to be only a few hundred Ming troops. Sir, what should we do?” the Japanese pirates under his command replied.

“How many hundreds of Ming troops?” But Taro Kojima laughed when he heard it.

“What else can we do with hundreds of Ming soldiers? They are here to die!”

Because there are more than two thousand defeated soldiers around him now.

Then he shouted directly: “Warriors, we have fallen into the evil trap of the Ming Dynasty this time, and we have lost many people! But the Ming army still doesn’t want to let us go!”

“They even occupied our ship and won’t let us go back! Warriors, what should we do now? Are we going to sit here and wait for death?”

“Kill, kill, kill!” The defeated Japanese pirates also restored their morale at this moment. After all, they didn’t want to die.

In addition, they also knew that there were only a few hundred people on the ship, so they were not so afraid.

“Then kill them!” Seeing that the Japanese pirates’ morale was boosted, Taro Kojima also commanded them to attack.

“Charge!” Suddenly, countless Japanese pirates rushed towards the ship frantically.

“Fight back!” But the Ming army on the ship had already made preparations.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!” Countless arrows shot over.

“Ahhh!” Many Japanese pirates who rushed too fiercely or had no armor died from bows and arrows.

“Boom boom boom!” The Ming army even moved out the cannons from the Japanese pirates’ ships. Although they were very simple, they were usable anyway, and they started bombarding the Japanese pirates.

“Ah, ah, ah!” In an instant, countless Japanese pirates died.

“Charge!” But the Ming army was small in number, and many Japanese pirates had already rushed onto the ship and engaged in fierce battle with the Ming army.

However, these hundreds of Ming troops were also very powerful. They were well-equipped and had high physical fitness, so they had strong combat effectiveness. Faced with Japanese pirates who outnumbered them by several times, they did not retreat. Instead, they struck them head-on and held on fiercely.

“Bagayalo!” The leaders around Taro Kojima were all anxious.

“I don’t know whether we can capture it or not. The Ming army behind us will probably catch up with us soon.”

“Caught up?” But when he heard this, Taro Kojima suddenly frowned.

“No!” He keenly felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

“Could it be!” Suddenly, he thought of something and broke out in a cold sweat. The Ming army must want to destroy them now, and these hundreds of Ming soldiers here must be trying to cut off their retreat route by sea.

But to cut off their retreat, these hundreds of Ming soldiers could obviously drive the boats away, or burn them, which would further cut off their retreat, or increase the number of manpower and make them retreat.

But now, why did these hundreds of Ming soldiers do nothing but risk a fierce battle with them? Did they really think that a few hundred of them could stop their two thousand Japanese pirates?

Very abnormal, very abnormal!
“So this is it!” Cold sweat broke out on Taro Kojima’s forehead, and he suddenly understood it.

“Not good!” Then he shouted directly.

“Everyone, flee in all directions, hide in the interior of Ming Dynasty, and wait for an opportunity to return to the Japanese pirates!”

He suddenly realized that the Ming army wanted to use these hundreds of people to lure them here firmly, so that the reinforcements of the Ming army could arrive in time and completely surround them.

“Bagayalo!” Taro Kojima was furious. The Ming army was so cunning.

At the same time, I also felt very regretful. I should have listened to Hu Lu earlier, otherwise there would not be the current result.

Moreover, if Hu Lu were here, he would not have fallen for this trick!
But it was too late to say anything now, because he couldn’t retreat even if he wanted to. Hundreds of Ming soldiers were fighting desperately with more than a thousand of him.

“Kill!” At the same time, the reinforcements of the Ming army had arrived in time.

A closer look revealed that there were not only the Jinwu Vanguard and Jinyiwei led by Chu Nan, but also soldiers from many garrisons near Taizhou.

“I see.” This time, Taro Kojima finally understood everything.

It turns out that everything in Taizhou was a strategy, a strategy to lure them in and then wipe them out.

“Damn it!” But now, he was fooled!

Looking at the Ming army surrounding him from all over the mountains, he knew that he would never be able to escape. He was extremely sad and should have listened to Hu Lu earlier.

“Gee!” Just when Taro Kojima didn’t know what to do, Chu Nan had already arrived in front on his warhorse.

Standing beside him were Zhu Di and Fu Zhong.

At this moment, Fu Zhong was reporting to Chu Nan: “Reporting to Mr. Chu, in the previous battle, we annihilated and captured more than 8,500 Japanese pirates.”

“So many people?” Zhu Di’s face was full of excitement. In the previous siege outside Taizhou City, he actually dealt with so many Japanese pirates?

The Japanese pirates are really doomed.

Add to that the Japanese pirates who are now surrounded on the beach, and this group of Japanese pirates has almost been completely wiped out.

Seeing this, Zhu Di couldn’t help but congratulate Chu Nan: “Congratulations, Lord Chu, this time you have really completed the task assigned by my father, and you completed it so smoothly and easily! Mr. Chu’s plan is really shocking!”

Zhu Di admired Chu Nan more and more. His strategies were really amazing.

“What are the casualties?” But Chu Nan didn’t say much, but asked Fu Zhong beside him about the casualties.

“Mr. Chu, the situation is not good.” Fu Zhong’s face suddenly turned ugly.

“Two thousand Taizhou troops participated in the battle, with more than 1,100 casualties. Two thousand Jinyiwei participated in the battle, with more than 500 casualties. Four thousand Jinwu Vanguard participated in the battle, with nearly 1,000 casualties.”

“So many?” Chu Nan frowned. Although he had achieved significant results, his own casualties were really not small. Fighting was really terrible. He hurt the enemy a thousand but suffered eight hundred casualties of his own.

But in fact, Chu Nan could have reduced the casualties even more.
