Chapter 1139 The Fall of Taiping (Part 2)
The Prime Minister of Xiahou County had just left the south gate, and the steward Liu Qi was sitting on the basket and descending the city wall.
After the housekeeper Liu Qi left, Wangzhi County sent people to search for gold, silver, treasures, silk and cloth in the county on the pretext of raising supplies to ward off the Japanese, and ordered all the restaurants in the county to work overtime to cook delicious food. All the delicacies and those who did not cooperate were labeled as being passive in resisting Japanese pirates or even complicit in Japanese pirates.
Under Wang Zhixian’s unscrupulous search, peace gifts for the Japanese pirates were quickly gathered.
"Master, I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission. I risked my life and talked hard, but I finally made an agreement with the Japanese pirates outside the city, and they agreed. As long as we successfully send out the gifts, they will receive them As long as the gifts are enough, they promise to withdraw from the siege immediately and transfer their troops to Ninghai County.”
Not long after, the housekeeper Liu Qi returned from the Japanese pirate camp, once again sat on the city wall with a basket, and reported back to Wang Zhixian with a look of accomplishment.
“Okay, very good.”
After hearing Liu Qi’s reply, Wang Zhixian’s heart finally fell back into his stomach.
Soon, several ropes were hung down from the south gate city wall, and boxes of gold and silver jewelry, baskets of silk and cloth, and other summation gifts were delivered to the bottom of the city wall. There were more than a hundred people under the city wall. The Japanese pirates were receiving the gifts below. The leader was Aso Yuji, who had done meritorious service, and had a bandage wrapped diagonally on his back.
There were so many gifts that it lasted half a cup of tea, and less than one-tenth of the gifts were given.
"Baga! It's too slow. It's so slow. How long will it take to deliver the gift? I'm impatient to wait."
Aso Yuji received the gift for a while under the city wall. He raised his head impatiently and shouted at Wang Zhixian and others on the city wall.
"Chief, please calm down the fire. Nearly one-tenth of it has been sent down. Please wait a moment and we will add a few more ropes." Butler Liu Qi hurriedly leaned on the wall and said to Yuji Aso explained.
"Baga! What can a few more ropes do! This method is too slow! We have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to collect enough gifts?! You guys, soldiers are so fast, you don't understand. Again. If the delay continues, won't it give Ninghai County time to prepare? If the war record is delayed, can you afford it! Giving a gift is so slow and leisurely, like an old woman? Generally, is it possible to force us to eat in your county? I will only give you one stick of incense time. If we have not received enough gifts within one stick of incense, then the agreement you made with us before , I won’t count anymore.”
Aso Yuji half-drawn his Japanese sword, narrowed his eyes, and threatened Wang Zhixian and others on the city wall.
"The time for burning a stick of incense is too short. Chief, look, this gift is like a mountain."
Butler Liu Qi scratched his head and scratched his head, and said anxiously.
"Burn the incense!" Aso Yuji ignored it and asked a Japanese pirate to light an incense with a blank expression.
“Hey, hey,” the housekeeper Liu Qi saw that Aso Yuji didn’t give any room for negotiation, and he was very anxious, “Hey, chief, you are being accommodating. We have all prepared this gift. "That's it."
"You guys are such a waste. These gifts are only a dozen cars at most. If you put the gifts in the car, wouldn't they be delivered outside the city in one fell swoop?" Zhi said with an impatient look.
"Oh, that's right, it's faster with a car." When the housekeeper Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands, as if suddenly enlightened.
"Idiot! What you have on your neck is a pig's brain! You don't even think about it! I don't know how to use a car faster! But if you use a car, you need to open the city gate. If the Japanese pirates outside the city use it to open it, Take advantage of the city gate What should I do if I attack the city?! I will lose my wife and lose my troops!”
Wang Zhixian glared hard at the housekeeper Liu Qi and whispered fiercely on the wall. He was scolded severely.
"Huh? Yes! The Japanese pirates are so ferocious. If they attack the city while the gate is open, there is really no way. I am such a pig. I was almost deceived by the Japanese pirates. Fortunately, I am wise and powerful. You will understand the Japanese pirates' tricks!" After hearing Wang Zhixian's reprimand, housekeeper Liu Qi rubbed the back of his head with fear and said repeatedly.
"Now that I can figure it out, I'm not too stupid! Do you know how to respond?!" Wang Zhixian cursed angrily.
"I know, I know." After being scolded, housekeeper Liu Qi smiled and touched his head. Then he stuck his head out of the city wall and said flatteringly to Yuji Aso below the city, "This leader, your army is mighty and majestic. , if we open the city gate and use a car to send gifts out of the city, we have a lot of concerns, please understand We are worried. We will send more people and add more ropes to try to deliver all the gifts to the city in the shortest possible time. We just ask the leader to be more lenient in terms of time. "
"Baga! Are you questioning our integrity?! Now, big The army is about to leave. If we waste time for gifts and delay the war, no one can afford it! Are you afraid that we will take the opportunity to attack the city? Huh, we in Yamato are very honest, so how can you not keep your word? Worry, so be it, my army will retreat two miles, these I will only take ten of the old, weak and sick to accept the gift of the frame, and the other twenty will retreat two miles with the army. Is this okay?”
Aso Yuji’s face was ashen. , scolded the housekeeper Liu Qi in a stern voice, then softened a bit and suggested.
After listening to Aso Yuji's words, housekeeper Liu Qi's eyes lit up, and he felt that Aso Yuji's proposal was very feasible. The Japanese pirate army retreated two miles, and only ten people were at the city gate to receive the gifts. This was completely okay. There are hundreds of us here, and one of us can drown ten little Japanese pirates just by spitting.
However, the housekeeper Liu Qi learned his lesson. Although he thought it was feasible, he did not reply to Yuji Aso immediately. Instead, he turned back and asked Magistrate Wang for instructions.
"Baga! Don't push yourself too far! It's so shameless! Are you trying to trick my army into not being able to lift a sword?!"
Aso Yuji couldn't help but became furious when he saw that there was no immediate reply from the wall. He pulled out his Japanese sword and threatened loudly.
The thirty Japanese pirates behind Yuji Aso also drew their swords and made noise.
Hearing the noise of the Japanese pirates below the city, Wang Zhixian focused on the "overall situation" and nodded slightly after thinking for a moment.
After getting Wang Zhixian’s approval, the housekeeper Liu Qi immediately stuck his head out of the city wall and replied to Aso Yuji with a flattering look, “Chief, please calm down. Chief, please calm down. We agree. Please also inform your army, chief. back Withdraw. When your army retreats, we will also take this time to load the gifts into the car. As soon as your army retreats two miles, we will immediately open the city gate and send the gifts out of the city through the carriage and horse, and hand them to the leader." br>
After the agreement was reached, the Japanese pirate army began to retreat.
Wang Zhixian winked and asked the housekeeper Liu Qi to select the ten who looked the most old, weak, sick and disabled from the thirty people under Aso Yuji, and stayed with Aso Yuji, and the remaining twenty Many people followed the Japanese pirate army and retreated two miles.
"Is that okay?! Hurry up and deliver the gifts in a car so that we can break camp and go to Ninghai County early." After the Japanese pirate army retreated two miles, Aso Yuji led ten old, weak, sick and disabled Japanese pirates. When he came to the city gate, he urged impatiently.
“Come, come, open the city gate.”
Butler Liu Qi walked to the city gate and ordered the city gate to be opened, followed by ten large carts filled with food Gift.
As a precaution, one hundred and fifty soldiers and government officials armed with weapons followed closely behind to protect the city gate.
Under the protection of heavy troops, Wang Zhixian stood not far away and commanded by remote control.
"円西,円西,大円狠好." Yuji Aso met at the gate of the city. A large truck came out to inspect a large truck. He was very satisfied with the quantity and quality of the gifts presented by Taiping County. , reached out and patted the butler Liu Qi on the shoulder, and praised him with a loud voice.
"Haha." Butler Liu Qi saw that the Japanese pirates were satisfied and in a good mood, and he also laughed apologetically.
One car after another, and when the last two cars were left, Yuji Aso waved his hand and said to the housekeeper Liu Qi with a smile on his face, "Liu Sang, your Taiping sincerity, We have already felt it from the first eight carriages. There is no need to check the last two carriages. I have great trust in you. You two go and pick up the carriages. It’s time for us to leave. Don’t keep Leader Heibachi waiting for too long. .”
With that said, Aso Yuji waved his hand and ordered the two Japanese pirates behind him to pick up the carriage.
"That's it, that's it. Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are doing things. Go north from here and follow the highway, and you will reach Ninghai County more than fifty miles away. Your Majesty, please go slowly." Butler Liu Qi heard this. , smiling like a chrysanthemum.
The two Japanese pirates came out in response, walked to the city gate, picked up the last two carriages, and pushed them forward.
One step, two steps, three steps, just when he was about to walk out, a sudden change occurred. Yuji Aso drew out the Japanese sword with lightning speed, and a white light flashed beside him. Liu Qi, the housekeeper, was beheaded with a knife.
At the same time, Aso Yuji shouted "Seize the door!".
When Liu Qi's head fell to the ground, his expression was still a smile like a chrysanthemum, and he didn't react until he died.
After Aso Yuji drew his sword, other Japanese pirates also drew their swords and chopped down the defenders beside them. The two Japanese pirates pushing the cart quickly pushed down the vehicle filled with gifts and blocked the open door. In front of the city gate, it blocked the city gate, making it impossible for the defenders to close the city gate even if they wanted to.
Then the Japanese pirates outside quickly pushed the other eight carts into the city gate, forming an eight-character cart formation, leaving only space for two people to walk side by side. In the cart formation, Yuji Aso led ten Japanese pirates to block it. At the gap, one man can block it and ten thousand men can't open it.
At the same time, the Japanese pirate army exceeded their capabilities and ran at full speed towards the city, their killing cries shaking the earth and the earth.
Fell into a trap!
It's over!
“Kill them and close the city gate!” Wang Zhixian’s face suddenly turned pale, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He jumped anxiously and loudly ordered more than a hundred defenders in the city gate to kill Aso Yuji and others and close the city. Door.
However, soon, Aso Yuji and other Japanese pirates showed the defenders what it means to be cruel and inhumane!
There is a car formation nearby. Although the more than a hundred defenders in the city gate are outnumbered, only the two at the front can face Yuji Aso and the others directly, and the people led by Yuji Aso are all from The Japanese pirates carefully selected those with the strongest martial arts and the most brutal power (thirty of them, no matter how the housekeeper Liu Qi chose them at the beginning). At this moment, the martial arts value is fully activated, and the ferocious It was a complete mess. The defenders who faced them were chopped to the ground by them, and their blood flowed like rivers. Even though Aso Yuji and others were injured, they did not blink their eyes, as if they did not know the pain, and were as ferocious as devils. The defenders For a moment, the fear of being killed was trembling. No matter how Wang Zhixian jumped behind and urged orders, the defenders were still unable to break through the Japanese car formation guarding the city gate.
Soon, the Japanese pirate army came to kill them.
After the Japanese pirate army came to kill them, the outcome was doomed. The South City Gate fell in just one breath!
Taiping County has fallen! (End of this chapter)
