Chapter 1121 United as One
The real Japanese Miyamoto Taro is just a microcosm on the city wall. As the young and strong people on the city become more and more proficient in the simplified version of the Mandarin Duck Formation, the numerically inferior Japanese pirates are getting more and more defeated in the fight. Obviously, although their personal bravery far exceeds that of the young and strong people, one plus one is greater than two, and the strength of the organization is more suitable for war than individual bravery.
Although the decline of the Japanese pirates is becoming more and more obvious, the Japanese pirates rely on the siege ladder and continue to be joined by fresh troops, and they are still charging and killing without fear of death.
Fighting is the main theme of the city wall. Blood and death are frequent visitors on the city wall. Several vultures are hovering in the sky, waiting for a feast.
Time passes slowly, and the balance of war slowly tilts towards the defenders, little by little, little by little...
finally!
After fighting for more than an hour, the balance of the war completely tipped towards the defenders, and there was no longer a single Japanese pirate standing on the city wall! The Japanese pirates were completely driven off the city wall, and the second wave of Japanese siege failed.
“We’ve defended it!”
“We’ve defended it!”
The young and strong people in the city were leaning on their swords, their legs clapped, and they were kneeling in the blood. Lying on his back, crying and cheering.
This is a victory that can only be cried but not laughed.
A miserable victory!
The Japanese pirates left more than 500 corpses in this wave of siege, and more than 400 young people in the city also died. Most of the remaining young people were injured and wore gauze bandages. Wrapped and covered in blood.
Looking around, we can see that the city wall is completely devastated, with broken scales and broken armor, rivers of blood, and corpses scattered everywhere...
"Stone, close your eyes, we are holding on."
A young and strong commoner knelt on the ground, crying and stretched out his hand to brush the eyes of his friend who died in the battle, helping his friend close his eyes. Beside him, his friend's body was already cold and covered with scars. An arrow pointed at the sky at his throat. He held a war knife with a curled blade firmly in his hand. His eyes were wide open, as if he was still fighting.
"Monkey, let go. The Japanese pirates are dead and have been driven out."
A young man wanted to restrain the body of his neighbor monkey, but found that the monkey's hands were tightly pinching the neck of a dead Japanese pirate corpse , I couldn't separate them no matter how I tried, I had to cry and try hard to break the monkey's fingers, which were almost broken but still couldn't be separated. In order not to hurt the monkey's fingers, I cut off the Japanese pirate's head before they were separated. Until the end, the monkey's fingers still maintained the strangulation movement.
There are countless scenes like this on the city wall...
"Heroes of Jingnan, have a safe journey! Be immortal!"
Zhu Ping'an was walking on the city wall and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He couldn't help himself and knelt on the city wall with a "Plop" sound. He pressed his head heavily on the ground and paid homage to the young man who died on the city wall. Common people, government officials and soldiers.
Everyone on the city wall was deeply moved when they saw the magistrate kneeling down to pay homage to the people who died in the war. The magistrate was an official of the imperial court. How noble he was. He actually knelt down with tears in his eyes to pay homage to those who died in the war. of people.
Thinking back to the fight, the county magistrate, Zhu Ping'an, a weak scholar, took the lead and never took a step back.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
A strong thought came to people's minds, such a county official is worthy of our lives.
"Have a good journey!"
"Immortal!"
Everyone followed Zhu Pingan and knelt down to pay homage to the people who died on the city wall.
It is late autumn now. The weather is very hot and it is easy to rot and breed bacteria and viruses. If you are not careful, it will cause plague. Ancient medical technology was limited, and the awareness and level of epidemic prevention was low. If the plague spread, there would be a large-scale outbreak and unlimited infection, and the consequences would be even more terrifying than the ravages of Japanese pirates.
So, after paying homage and paying homage, Zhu Ping'an ordered a bamboo forest with beautiful scenery, surrounded by mountains and rivers in Jingnan County to be turned into the "Jingnan Anti-Japanese Heroes Cemetery", and directed people to prepare the war The government servants, soldiers and young common people who died on the city wall were buried in the cemetery. After the war, a cemetery was built and a tablet was erected to record the biography. It will be remembered in the annals of Jingnan forever for people to admire and enjoy the incense and sacrifices of the people of Jingnan County from generation to generation.
As for the corpse of the Japanese pirate, Zhu Ping'an ordered his head to be chopped off in front of the Japanese pirate outside the city, and then separated it and threw it into piles of firewood to be burned. On the one hand, it exercises the courage of the people and makes them see blood; on the other hand, it intimidates the Japanese pirates outside the city. The Japanese pirates of the island country believe in Shintoism and believe that if the head is chopped off, the soul cannot return to its homeland, cannot be reborn, and cannot ascend to heaven. Even if he is a fake Japanese, as a native of Ming Dynasty, he still pays attention to leaving a complete corpse so that he can be reincarnated in the next life. Not to mention having their bones bruised and thrown into ashes. In ancient times, only those with deep hatred, serious sins and heinous crimes would be beaten into ashes. For the Japanese pirates outside the city, this was a nuclear bomb-level psychological battle, which made them frightened and out of their minds.
"With my order, call for, no, ask the medical doctors in the county, and ask them to bring some medicine such as gold sore medicine, and come to bandage and treat the injured. All expenses will be recorded in In the name of the county government, I will come to thank you and pay the fee after the war."
Zhu Pingan looked at the injured one by one on the city wall, bandaged the wounds of the injured, comforted everyone to recover from their injuries, and noticed that the injured lacked medical treatment and suffered from trauma. Zhu Pingan took out himself from his arms With the seal, a government official took it and asked a doctor at the medical center to treat the injured.
“Thank you, Lord County Magistrate.”
“Thank you, Lord Magistrate.”
The injured people were flattered and moved, and thanked Zhu Pingan one after another.
Zhu Ping'an hurriedly ordered everyone to stay still to prevent people from scratching their wounds again. He appreciated everyone's heroic fighting, thanked everyone for their sacrifices in defending Jingnan County, and comforted everyone to take a good rest.
While Zhu Pingan was looking at the injured, he heard a commotion coming from the steps of the city wall. He looked up and saw hundreds of men, women and women carrying pots and pans with hot meals in them. , carrying baskets of stones, carrying door panels, water tanks, roof beams, millstones and other heavy objects, carrying quilts and other objects, broke through the obstacles and quickly walked up the city wall.
"The county magistrate, the little old man brought all the fathers and fellow villagers to bring food to everyone. In order to protect us, you fought with the vicious people for an entire afternoon without even drinking a sip of water, little old man. I see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart. We are also from Jingnan, we live and die together with Jingnan, and we must also contribute to the protection of Jingnan. Mr. County Magistrate, please eat quickly. Help you defend the city. I heard that it was because of the shortage of stones and wood that these Japanese pirates climbed up the city. We have plenty of these door panels, beams, and stones at home. Let's unload these guys and carry them up. , can also defend the city. "
The leader was an old man in his seventies, with white hair and a wrinkled face. He walked up to the city wall with a cane and said to Zhu Pingan and others from a distance. .
"Yes, we will live and die with Jingnan. Mr. Magistrate, we will help you defend the city. You should eat quickly."
The people behind the old man followed suit.
Behind, more and more people rushed to the city wall, carrying heavy objects such as door panels and stones from their homes onto the city wall to help defend the city. (End of this chapter)
