After the pirates landed, they did not immediately launch an attack, or they could not attack even if they wanted to.
The landing of a huge force with a total strength of more than 8,000 people was not something that could be accomplished in one breath.
These pirates were not official soldiers.
When they jumped down, they were in a mess and had no formation.
It would take some time to organize them until they could launch an attack.
During this period, what they have to do is to maintain defense and avoid being ambushed by the official army.
The more than 1,000 real Japanese include more than 700 people borrowed by Xu Yang, as well as more than 300 real Japanese in his fleet.
These people belong to different forces, have different origins, and have different compositions.
Command them It is also an extremely laborious task.
Zong Zhixin used his own two hundred soldiers as the backbone, gathered his troops, and arranged the formation hastily.
The pirates who fled from the city in panic escaped at this time.
Zong Zhixin sat on the maza and waited for his meal in a serious manner, which was part of the etiquette of starting a war.
The boat has prepared abalone, pounded chestnuts and kombu, as well as three cups of boiled wine.
Five pieces of abalone, seven chestnuts, and five pieces of kombu are the Japanese rituals for starting a war, which is of great significance to the samurai.
Eating in a serious manner means that Zong Shengxin regards this as a reciprocal war rather than a robbery.
Under his influence, even those real Japanese who usually only know how to kill people and grab things, became serious.
From mind to body, the state is gradually adjusted to the best.
Listening to the pirates' report, less than ten of the informants who entered the city first had been killed, and all the remaining troops were here.
The wealthy gentry who had always been influential in the Ming Dynasty seemed to have lost their effect this time and were detained by a group of officers and soldiers who did not care about anything.
The martial artist serving as the guard was ruthlessly killed on the spot if he showed any resistance.
If these gentry were in their heyday, Qiu Ba would never have dared to be so offensive and dare to carry out such a murder.
This only shows that the government and army may have found evidence of the alliance between the gentry and Xu Yang and will take action.
"Has the strategy failed?
This is actually normal.
If Ningbo can be captured easily, this battle will become boring."
Zong Zhixin, who drank his third glass of wine, did not show any panic. , "As a martial artist, meritorious service must ultimately be won with the spear and sword in your hand.
I have never relied on clever strategies, so all this has no impact on me.
Pass the order, and the entire army will form an array, preparing to fight the Ming army. , kill them all” According to the report from the expedition, Ningbo did not defend behind closed doors, but instead brought troops out of the city to fight.
In the past, the Ming army did not have the courage to confront the real Japanese in the wild.
Even a single charge by dozens of real Japanese could break up the formation of hundreds of officers and soldiers.
When facing a real Japanese, the government and army can often only rely on the city to defend them.
Those who go out of the city to meet the enemy either have full confidence in their own troops, or they are stupid and ignorant.
You must not underestimate your opponent.
Any mistake may lead to the destruction of the army.
Zong Zhixin, who took over the reins of the horse from the nearby people, flew onto the mount, thinking back to his father's teachings to him when he first went into battle.
People of the Ming Dynasty, I want you to see the majesty of the Ghost Punishment Department.
There are five battalions of the New Army.
Each battalion has three divisions, each division has two divisions, and each division has four divisions.
In addition to the three divisions, the battalion led by Yang Chengzu also strengthened a security department and a firearms bureau, with nearly 3,600 people.
Since one unit was detached to support Shaoxing, the number of troops on hand was close to 3,000.
Including Taiyong's troops, the total number is almost 3,500.
With such a force facing more than 8,000 pirates, according to Hu Bingzhang's idea, it was better to defend the city.
There are imperial envoys inspecting the military equipment in the southeast.
The military leaders in the southeast, even if they lose their own defenses, have to send reinforcements regardless of their lives.
At least the siege of Ningbo can be solved.

However, Yang Chengzu's strategy exceeded his expectations.
Only one division of the New Army was left to defend the city, leading nearly 3,000 troops to go out of the city to directly fight the Japanese pirates.
Li Zongyun, a lieutenant in the Zhongzijia Battalion who stayed in Ningbo, was an old member of the Anlu Yiwei Division.
He was born as a child of ordinary military guards in Anlu.
Later, Yang Chengzu recruited troops in the Yiwei Division and he was recruited.
Later, he achieved military exploits in the palace guard battle, followed Yang Chengzu to rescue Princess Yongshou, and became one of his own.
Every time he goes into battle, he will basically be injured, even seriously injured, but every time he will be injured but not die.
It won't take long for him to come back to life.
Under the current medical conditions, this can only be said to be a miracle.
From a farm boy, in just two years, he has now received the rank of fourth-grade general knowledge, and actually teaches the army in the camp.
The speed of improvement is not much slower than that of Yang Chengzu.
After arriving in Zhejiang, Yang Chengzu even found him a wife from the daughter of the commander of the Zhejiang capital.
In terms of military use, he was inferior to Xu Tai, Qi Jingtong and others, but in terms of loyalty, among the leaders of the five battalions, he definitely ranked first.
Hu Bingzhang's opinion meant nothing to Li Zongyun.
Yang Chengzu only issued an order, and he led his troops out of the city.
Hu Bingzhang didn't know what to do except stumble and complain.
There was a sound of rings, and Mrs.
Xue, who was wearing a uniform, walked in generously from the outside.
"Prefect Hu, I heard that the Japanese pirates are invading in large numbers.
We, the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, cannot sit idly by and do nothing.
We are all in the same boat.
Needless to say, the Chamber of Commerce Fifty thousand taels of silver have been prepared for the purpose of recruiting brave men.
Our two families must shoulder the responsibility."
Hu Bingzhang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Mrs.
Xue, I have heard for a long time that you are a heroine, and when I see you today, you are well-deserved.
I am a civil servant, and leading troops in battle is not my specialty.
If Madam can command the battle, I am willing to step aside."
"In this case, the little girl has no choice but to offend.
The six hundred warriors recruited by our chamber of commerce have already gone to the city.
With the remaining officers and soldiers, even if the Japanese pirates attack with eight thousand thieves, we can still defend it.
What we need to pay attention to now is The victory outside the city has been decided.
The governor is taking a rest in the palace.
I want to go to the top of the city to take a look at the military situation outside. " Outside Ningbo City, four strong soldiers carried a huge bamboo bed and placed it on the battlefield.
Yang Chengzu was lying on the bamboo bed.
Sister Guo Jiu, dressed in bright red and wearing a crown of hundreds of phoenixes and pearls, stood beside him with a big gun in her hand.
There were more than a dozen beautiful maids beside him, holding various musical instruments such as pipa, sanxian, sheng, pipe, flute and flute, and started playing at the side.
It seems that the battlefield is treated as a large-scale spring outing.
He looked at the neatly arranged new troops and asked loudly: "Whose soldiers are you?"
"Long Live Grandpa's Soldiers" "What are you fighting for?"
"Be loyal to Long Live Grandpa" "As you said, the money from this sale is all in the Ningbo treasury and has not been used.
Now only one of you and the pirates can get the money.
If you want to make a fortune for your family, you want to carry it with you?"
If you get the Yanling Sword, kill it for me, and use the pirate's head to change it to a prince.
I will be here, lying on the bed, hugging the beauty, and listen to your victory report.
If you are killed by the pirates in front of me, Then don’t even think about getting money, you understand.”

Li Zongyun straightened his back and took out the Yan Ling knife with his name engraved on it.
"Don't worry, if Li Zongyun is still strong enough, he won't let the Japanese pirates get close to your honor guard.
Sons and gentlemen, if you want fame and wealth, come with me and kill the Japanese pirates."
The red flag was billowing like a wall of fire.
The troops including the Taiyong Battalion counterattacked towards the enemy whose strength was twice their own.
The two torrents immediately collided together, and sprays of blood and life flew in all directions.
