Chapter 1113: The Japanese pirates retreated?
Under Zhu Ping'an's reminder and demonstration, many government officials and soldiers also used torches to burn the ropes. Except for a few ropes that had been soaked with urine and river water by the Japanese pirates in advance, most of them burned continuously. The flying claw ropes were burned.
The Japanese pirates did not make wall-climbing ladders in advance, and most of the climbing tools such as flying claw ropes were burned. The few ropes that were soaked in urine and could not be burned were also focused on by the defenders. , gold juice poured down one after another, and the Japanese pirates screamed and fell to the bottom of the city.
After hard work in clearing the Japanese pirates on the city wall, Jingnan County defended the first wave of Japanese attacks.
“The Japanese pirates retreated!”
"The Japanese pirates ran away!"
"We defended, we defended!"
After the Japanese pirates retreated, the government officials and soldiers on the city wall cheered and celebrated their victory happily.
“Defended?! The Japanese pirates retreated?!”
“Really?!”
"Great."
The trembling and desperate people below the city heard that the Japanese pirates had retreated. They opened their mouths in surprise, were overjoyed, cried with joy, and ran around cheering happily. Jingnan County was like a sea of cheers.
Amidst a burst of cheers, Zhu Pingan stood on the city wall with a relaxed expression but an extremely heavy heart.
Zhu Ping'an's eyes were profound.
Although the county seat was defended with difficulty, the situation was not optimistic at all. Because, first of all, this is just the first wave of attacks by the Japanese pirates, and they will definitely attack the city again after repairs; secondly, our own side suffered heavy casualties. Thirty-two of the 100 government officials and soldiers on the west city died in this wave of defense. Twenty-nine people were injured, a total of 61 casualties, and only 39 government officials and soldiers were still fighting on the city wall. Third, the Japanese pirates were still outnumbered. Although the Japanese pirates suffered more losses, more than a hundred people were injured, but this loss was only a drop in the bucket for the Japanese pirates. They still had three thousand soldiers. Multiple people.
Zhu Pingan knew very well that the Japanese pirates retreated because simple climbing equipment such as flying claws and ropes were destroyed. They needed time to cut down trees to make ladders. When the ladders were completed, the Japanese pirates attacked again.
There are thirty-nine defenders on the city and more than three thousand Japanese pirates below the city.
Next.
How to defend this city? !
Based on the ferocity of the Japanese pirates and the disparity in the number of enemies and ourselves, we are afraid of the next wave of attacks. As long as the Japanese pirates attack the city wall, the city wall can be declared to be lost. If the city wall is lost, Jingnan County will also fall.
It's difficult.
Looking at the retreating Japanese pirates, Zhu Pingan could not feel relaxed.
"Master, please drink a bowl of water."
Liu Dadao held his helmet under his elbow and walked up to Zhu Pingan with a bowl of water in his hand.
"Thank you, Dadao. Thanks to you today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Zhu Ping'an took the bowl, smiled and patted Liu Dadao's shoulder, thanking him sincerely.
Really, on the city wall today, thanks to Liu Dadao, Liu Daqiang, and Liu Dachui, the government officials and soldiers on the city wall are no match for the Japanese pirates. After climbing up the city wall, the ferocious and brave Japanese pirates looked like Just like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, it can be easily killed one on one. The government officials and soldiers were not at a disadvantage when one was against two against three, and they could still fight back. Only Liu Dadao and Liu Daqiang were highly skilled, and their personal force value surpassed the Japanese pirates. If not for Liu Dadao and Liu Daqiang, they were on the city wall. They rescued people everywhere and killed them everywhere, but the city wall had long been lost. Moreover, Zhu Ping'an is a weak scholar whose physical fitness is much worse than that of government officials and soldiers. The reason why he is still standing here intact is because of the close protection of Liu Dadao and Liu Daqiang. If it weren't for Liu Dadao and Liu Daqiang, Liu Daqiang and the others protected Zhu Pingan. Even if Zhu Pingan had nine lives, he was sent to the west by the Japanese pirates on the city wall.
"Young Master, why are you so polite to us? If it weren't for Young Master, we would have been dead a long time ago. Now that we are following Young Master, we have become spies, and we are all eating royal food. This is a great thing for honoring our ancestors. Besides, Young Master No civil servant avoids the sword and kills Japanese with a sword regardless of the danger. It is our duty as martial arts practitioners to kill the enemy." Liu Dadao smiled and touched the back of his head and shook his head.
"Dadao, are you injured?"
Zhu Pingan asked anxiously when he noticed that Liu Dadao raised his arm and touched the back of his head, and there was a large amount of blood on his waist and clothes.
"No, these are the blood of Japanese pirate cubs."
Liu Dadao shook his head and explained. In order to reassure Zhu Pingan, Liu Dadao opened his clothes and showed Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Pingan was relieved when he saw that Liu Dadao was not injured.
“Look, the Japanese pirates have retreated, but they have not retreated. The Japanese pirates have set up camp one mile outside the city.”
A cheering government official on the city wall suddenly noticed the retreat outside the city. The Japanese pirates did not retreat, but camped a mile outside the city. They couldn't help but sweat dripping from their foreheads, and they screamed in surprise.
His words attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked outside the city.
"Really, shit, the Japanese pirates really didn't retreat. The Japanese pirates camped under the city. Are they going to attack the city again?!"
"The Japanese pirates didn't retreat?!"
"The Japanese pirates haven't left yet! The Japanese pirates haven't left!"
Everyone saw that the Japanese pirates had really set up camp a mile below the city and had no intention of retreating. They couldn't help but panic and sweat profusely.
"Hurry up, some Japanese pirates are cutting down trees and dragging tree trunks to the camp. What are they doing cutting down trees?!"
"Ladders?! Are the Japanese pirates cutting down trees to build siege ladders?!!!"
“Yes, look, they put tree trunks side by side, as well as crossbars and siege ladders!! The Japanese pirates are really building siege ladders!!!”
"The Japanese pirates are building a siege ladder. What should I do? The Japanese pirates are building a siege ladder. They must be evil-minded and want to attack the city."
"With the siege ladder, the Japanese pirates can climb up It will be much easier to go up the city wall. There are many fierce Japanese pirates, and there are still two to three thousand people. We only have more than thirty people left. How can we defend the city if the Japanese pirates attack the city again. "
"How can we defend here?"
"Hey, there are not enough people on the wall to hold the Japanese invaders in their teeth. The Japanese pirates can break through the county town with just one charge. God, please, what should I do? , what to do, we are dead, we are dead."
Then, the sharp-eyed people saw the Japanese pirates cutting down trees to build siege ladders, and they couldn't help but become more frightened and screamed in despair.
Soon, people both above and below the city knew that the Japanese pirates were cutting down trees to make siege ladders and preparing for the next wave of siege. Everyone knows that there are only more than thirty government officials and soldiers guarding the city, but there are still two to three thousand Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates are all ferocious and highly skilled in martial arts. After the Japanese pirates have an siege ladder, how can the county be defended? .
The county seat cannot be defended!
The county seat cannot be defended!
Jingnan County is filled with such comments.
For a time, an atmosphere of despair swept across Jingnan County again, and people's desperate cries could not be heard. (End of this chapter)
