Chapter 188 The Japanese pirates were angry. How could they fall into Chu Nan’s trap again!

He was so shocked. How come these Ming troops seemed to be prepared in advance?

Look closely, they are neatly dressed in armor, well-equipped with weapons, and very ferocious. How dare they charge at them?

“Isn’t this another trap?” Hu Lu was still very cautious. Seeing this situation, he was a little worried. After all, he was fooled by Chu Nan once last time.

“This…” Taro Kojima was also panicked when he saw it.

He is very brave, but he is also smart. This is obviously unreasonable, so he is also afraid that it is a trap. For a moment, he doesn’t know whether to attack or retreat.

“Chief, don’t be afraid!” But seeing Taro Kojima hesitate, the leaders under him were not worried at all.

“Look, Chief, the Ming army seems to have only about 2,000 people! There are no more!”

“It seems so!” Taro Kojima heard what his subordinates said and looked carefully. Although the Ming army was very fierce, their numbers were not large, there were really only about two thousand people.

Even the defenders on the city walls had come down, and there didn’t seem to be any other ambushers in the city.

“Yoshi!” Seeing this situation, Taro Kojima yelled.

“Warriors, there are only 2,000 of them, and they are defeated by us. Go ahead and kill them all. A quick victory will bring Taizhou to ours!”

“Yes!” Then, more than 10,000 Japanese pirates rushed over and engaged in close combat with the Ming army.

“Dang dang dang!” This was the sound of spears colliding. The spears of the Ming army were all wrapped in red tassels, and they danced vigorously.

The Japanese pirates were also very good at using their spears, but they did not have the advantage of height, so they were still weaker than the Ming army when fighting with spears.

However, the Ming army had a hard time withstanding the Japanese swords of the Japanese pirates. When the Japanese pirates swept across, the barrels of the Ming army’s guns would break directly. When the Ming army’s swords collided with the Japanese pirates’ swords, a big hole would be immediately left.

Moreover, the Japanese pirates also have muskets. Although the loading speed is extremely slow, their power and accuracy should not be underestimated.

Coupled with the advantage in numbers, the two thousand Ming troops were suppressed at once and even divided into several battlefields. The Japanese pirates prepared to eliminate them one by one.

Fortunately, these Ming troops had followed Zhu Yuanzhang in battle before, so they would not be frightened by such a scene and run away and surrender.

And they knew that if they lost, the people of Taizhou would be doomed.

Therefore, all the soldiers were struggling.

“Bang!” Taro Kojima fired another musket and directly knocked down a Ming army soldier, his face full of joy.

“Yoshi!” he yelled to his men.

“Just attack like this and wipe out all these Ming troops. After we wipe them out, everything in Taizhou will be ours!”

“Yoshi!” After hearing what Taro Kojima said, the Japanese pirates became even more excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They hacked at the Ming soldiers madly. The Ming soldiers were under greater pressure and lost more people at once.

“Hahahaha, kill them all!” The Japanese pirates became even more excited when they saw this situation. They concluded that these Ming troops could not hold out for an hour.

“That’s not right.” But facing this situation, Hu Lu frowned, his keen sense that something was wrong.

Isn’t this how a war is fought?
The Ming army was not fools. When they saw the Japanese pirates coming, who outnumbered them by far, why didn’t they defend the city but instead took the initiative to go out of the city to fight?
Did they think that 2,000 people could defeat more than 10,000 Japanese pirates? The Ming army didn’t have such a great ability, did they?

That can only be!
“Not good!” Hu Lu suddenly widened his eyes and realized something. If the Ming army was not stupid, then it could only be a scheme.

The more Hu Lu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He immediately broke out in a sweat and looked at Kojima Taro. “Kojima-kun, there is a trick. Let’s retreat!”

“The Ming army is not stupid. How dare two thousand people go out of the city to fight? They just want to delay us so that others can surround us. Let’s retreat quickly!”

“What?” But this time, Taro Kojima didn’t want to listen to Hu Lu anymore.

“Hu Sang, why are you Ming people so cautious? Where do you get so many tricks? I’m about to win and take over Taizhou City, but you still want me to retreat? Are you kidding me?”

“Kojima-kun.” Hu Lu was anxious and wanted to say something.

“Bakayaro!” But Taro Kojima gave him a fierce look, as if he would kill him if he said another word.

“Damn it, this guy is not worthy of being my advisor!” Hu Lu got angry when he saw this, and then looked at his personal soldiers.

Then he quietly led them and retreated a long way, thinking that if there were any problems, they could retreat immediately.

But Taro Kojima didn’t notice the situation here and was still yelling at his men!

“Attack, attack, and destroy them. Then all the food and beauties in Taizhou will be ours. Charge!”

“Charge!” The Japanese pirates thought of the delicious food and the beautiful and tender women of the Ming Dynasty, and worked harder.

He wished he could kill all the Ming soldiers right now and then hold all the Ming women under him.

“Damn it!” Although the Ming army fought to the death, their energy was on the verge of collapse.

“Damn it!” Several Ming army generals who led the troops also began to feel distressed.

Didn’t Chu Nan tell them that as long as they held on for an hour, they would be able to arrive immediately? What was going on?
“Lord Chu, why haven’t you come yet?” They roared in unwillingness, already in despair.

But the Japanese pirates didn’t understand and thought they were shouting in despair. They were just grinning and were going to kill all the Ming troops. Taizhou would be finished!
This is the result of going against our Japanese warriors!

“Charge!” But at this moment, something happened that the Japanese pirates did not expect.

Suddenly, behind the Japanese pirates, there were shouts of killing all over the mountains.

“What’s going on?” Taro Kojima turned around immediately and his face changed drastically.

Countless Jinwu vanguard soldiers, dressed in neat armor and as fierce as wolves and tigers, rushed towards them like a tide.

Looking closely, there are at least more than four thousand people!
“Charge!” At the same time, more than 2,000 Jinyiwei also rushed over here.

Moreover, these Jinyiwei were all prepared for battle. In addition to the standard flying fish uniforms, they also wore soft armor, which made them suitable for fighting on the battlefield.

At this time, more than 6,000 Ming troops came to support, plus more than 1,000 Taizhou defenders surrounded by Japanese pirates, the number of Ming troops suddenly soared to more than 7,000.

Now their number is not much less than that of the Japanese pirates.

“What’s going on!” Seeing this situation, the Japanese pirates were dumbfounded. How could they be suddenly surrounded?
Kojima Taro was also shocked: “Baga Yalu, where are my scouts? Where did they go? We are surrounded, and there is no news at all?”

But Taro Kojima had no idea that in front of the Ming Dynasty’s strongest intelligence agency, the Jinyiwei, his scouts had no chance of reporting the news and all of them had been eliminated.

The next thing to deal with is these Japanese pirates!
