Chapter 1114 We are outnumbered and outnumbered? No, I am outnumbered!

"Cut down trees and build ladders. Ten siege ladders must be completed within half an hour. I will make Jingnan a river of blood!"

The raid failed. The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro became angry and held Japanese swordsmen urged the Japanese pirates to build siege ladders.

“Hi!”

The Japanese pirates responded with a roar, axes, machetes, and Japanese knives came into battle, speeding up the logging, and rushing to build siege ladders.

Seeing the Japanese pirates outside the city busy building siege ladders, the people in the city became more and more desperate. Some cried in despair, while others knelt on the ground in despair and kowtowed, praying to the gods to save them. ...

There are only so many defenders left on the city, and there are no guard posts within a thirty-mile radius of Jingnan County, so reinforcements are unlikely to arrive in a short time.

With more than thirty people, there is no chance of winning against three thousand Japanese pirates!

How to defend this city?

Hold on, we are dead! The people cried in despair, and the whole Jingnan was enveloped in crying.

"County Lord, can this city still be defended?"

Amidst the desperate cries of the people, the government officials and soldiers on the city wall also fell into despair.

“Yes!”

Zhu Pingan replied loudly.

Must be able to defend!

Either defend the city or die. This seems to be a multiple-choice question, but in fact there is only one option to defend the city!

We must create conditions even if we cannot defend them! Must be able to defend! Must keep! Moreover, it can only succeed, not fail!

"The county magistrate...it's not that the humble position hurts morale, it's just...it's just that we only have about thirty brothers now, and there are still two to three thousand Japanese pirates outside. We are outnumbered, and there are more than thirty of us." How can we defend the city from two to three thousand Japanese pirates? "

After listening to Zhu Pingan's words, a soldier with an injured arm sighed and said dejectedly.

"Who said that only thirty of us brothers are defending the city?" Zhu Ping'an shook his head and said meaningfully.

"Isn't it? One, two, three, four... thirty-nine people, that's right." The soldier asked doubtfully.

The soldiers stretched out their hands and counted them. There were thirty-nine people on the city wall. Even if the people from the other three city gates are transferred, it will only increase the number of more than thirty people. Moreover, the people from the other city gates cannot be transferred at all. If there is no one to guard the city gates, wouldn't the Japanese pirates easily attack from the other city gates? The county seat.

"It's not more than 30 brothers, but more than 30,000 brothers. We have more than 30,000 brothers guarding the city. It's not that we are outnumbered, but that we are outnumbered!" Zhu Pingan said softly.

"More than 30,000 brothers? I am outnumbered?" When the soldiers heard this, they opened their mouths in surprise, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

The county gentleman...are you stupid? ! Why are you telling lies with your eyes open? There are only so many people on the city wall. I have counted them several times. It is impossible to count wrongly. How could there be more than 30,000 brothers? We are clearly outnumbered, so why are we outnumbered? !

"The County Lord..."

The soldier opened his mouth and was about to defend, but when he looked up, he found Zhu Pingan turned around and walked slowly towards the battlements on the inside of the city wall.

"Dear fellow villagers!"

Zhu Pingan walked slowly to the battlements on the inside of the city wall, pressed his hands on the city wall, and shouted loudly to the desperate and crying people under the city wall.

When the people in despair below the city heard the voice of the magistrate, they could not help but temporarily stop their desperate tears and prayers and looked up.

"Fellows and fellow villagers, you all have seen it. Three thousand Japanese pirates attacked the city. Our government officials and soldiers were very good. They were very brave and fought the enemy bravely. No one backed down. They did it and defended the first wave of the Japanese pirates' attack. The Japanese pirates left more than a hundred corpses behind, but we also suffered heavy casualties, with thirty-two people killed and twenty-nine wounded, with only three left. Nineteen people can fight again, but there are still more than 3,000 Japanese pirates outside the city. Now, the Japanese pirates outside the city are cutting down trees and building siege ladders. When the siege ladder is built, it will be time for the Japanese pirates to attack the city again. It is a critical moment for Jingnan's life and death."

Zhu Pingan pressed his hand on the city wall and said loudly to everyone, without concealing the current life and death situation.

"Woooo. With more than thirty defenders and more than three thousand Japanese pirates, how can we defend this city? Oh God, Tathagata Buddha, and the Great Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, please save us, please please ”

“Oh, we’re dead!”

“Oh, oh, oh, how can we defend this city with so many people? ”

"How can such a small number of people defend Jingnan? If we want to defend Jingnan, we can only do it with the help of gods and Buddhas in the sky."

Hearing Zhu Ping'an's confession about the life and death crisis, the people below the city became even more desperate. Please ask for help. They worshiped the Buddha, cried for heaven and earth, and blamed everyone

"More than thirty defenders and more than three thousand Japanese pirates, how can we defend this city?" Zhu Ping'an looked at it He turned to the crowd and said, "I heard someone praying to the gods and praying to the Buddha, saying that Jingnan must be defended unless the gods and Buddhas in the sky help."

"Yes, so few defenders, so many Japanese pirates, unless gods help, how can they defend the city?"

"Unless there is a miracle, they are dead."

"Mr. Magistrate, let's raise the altar to burn incense, pray to God, and pray to Buddha. Maybe there will be gods willing to help."

"Hey, miracles are illusory. How can you say that you can just ask for it."

The city was in chaos. Someone suggested praying to gods and praying to Buddha. It was like grabbing the last straw when drowning.

“Pray to God and worship Buddha?” Zhu Ping’an twitched his lips, “There once was a devout Buddhist. Once he encountered difficulties, he went to the temple to pray to the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva to help him resolve it. Difficulty. When he walked into the temple and knelt down to pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva, he found that there was also a person on the futon next to Guanyin Bodhisattva. He found that this person looked very similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva. The Buddha statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva seemed to be alive, so he asked curiously, "Are you Guanyin Bodhisattva?" Guanyin Bodhisattva replied, "Yes." The Buddhist asked in confusion, "Since you are Guanyin Bodhisattva, why do you worship yourself?" Ah?' Guanshiyin Bodhisattva replied, 'Because I have encountered difficulties, but I know that it is better to ask for God than to ask for yourself!'"

"It is better to ask for God than for yourself!"

Zhu Ping'an's words were like a thunderbolt, which exploded above everyone's heads, making everyone instantly excited.

"My fellow villagers, it is better to ask for God than to ask for yourself, and to ask for others than for yourself! This is the time of life and death for Jingnan County! The only ones who can save Jingnan now are the fellows and fellows themselves. The only ones who can save all the fellows are , and also all the elders Folks. Although there are more than 3,000 Japanese pirates, there are 30,000 of us in Jingnan County. Stand up, fellow villagers! We have 30,000 Japanese pirates. We have 30,000 against 3,000. The time, place, and people are favorable, how can we not keep it! As long as we defend, we will be able to defend!" Zhu Pingan shouted impassionedly, shouting at the top of his lungs, "But if we don't defend the city, the Japanese pirates will kill us with Japanese swords! He also pointed his finger at our bones and said :'Look, this is a coward without balls!'"

"Defend the city!"

"Master Magistrate, we are not cowards. , we must defend the city!”

"If you don't defend the city, you will definitely die! If you defend the city, you can still survive and fight against the Japanese pirates!" Zhu Pingan's words were like a match thrown into a barrel of explosives, and the city seemed to explode in an instant! Please fight!
