Chapter 1498 The Japanese are coming to meet the sky, prepare some small gifts
The sunset has already set, and in the blood-red afterglow, Nabeshima Naoji and Matsuura Sanbanro led fifty-seven Japanese pirates swaggering straight along the official road Walking towards Yingtian City, the steps were extremely leisurely, pointing to the huge Yingtian City not far away, chatting and laughing, it didn't feel like attacking the city, but like a spring outing.
The Japanese pirates were walking leisurely, but they couldn't get up leisurely in Yingtian City. They looked at the Japanese pirates walking leisurely outside the city. They felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and their scalps were filled with fear and nervousness. Numbness, rapid heartbeat.
Every time the Japanese pirates took a step closer to the city, the nervousness and fear of the officials and people in the city increased.
When the Japanese pirates appeared outside Yingtian City, and their ferocious faces could be seen clearly from the city, the panic in Yingtian City reached its peak.
This group of Japanese pirates is extremely arrogant and terrifying. The leader of the Japanese chieftain is wearing a gorgeous Japanese-style armor, decorated with red texture, and holding a shining Japanese sword. The most frightening thing is that the chieftain is still holding his sword. Holding a bright yellow umbrella and riding a captured war horse, it has great visual impact.
Yi Hong rides on a horse and Zhang Huang Gai!
This is a lot of weapons. Zhang Huang Gai is the emperor's support. This group of Japanese pirates invaded Yingtian Capital and already greatly defeated the Ming Dynasty. It’s so embarrassing, now the Japanese leader is actually For arrogating the emperor's support, this was no longer an ordinary slap in the face. This was stepping on Ming's face and rubbing it hard under his feet! Moreover, he also stepped on Emperor Jiajing's face hard, and He spit out thick phlegm heavily.
After the officials on the Yingtian City Wall saw the Japanese chieftain's outfit, they all turned pale. They understood that once this scene was reported to the Emperor Jiajing's case, the Holy Emperor's thunderous wrath would probably be doubled. Double again.
The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses. I am afraid that many of the black gauze hats of all the colleagues present could not be saved! Originally, the Japanese pirates invaded Yingtian City, and the black gauze hats of the officials in Nanzhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang had to be lost. A large number of them. Now that the Japanese chiefs are so arrogant, I am afraid that the number of black gauze hats will be more than doubled
These officials could not feel deeply about how many people the Japanese pirates had harmed. It was just a number, and they could only express a few words of regret and emotion. But now that it was related to their black hats, they felt it deeply.
"Misfortune, catastrophe! A catastrophe is coming!"
"How dare the Japanese chief insult our Ming Dynasty like this! Such a madman deserves to be cut into pieces! Your Majesty, I am ashamed of you, Your Majesty. !”
“The Japanese leader is so arrogant , The Holy One will definitely be furious with thunder, what should we do now?! What should we do?!" "
The officials present were beating their chests and feet as if they were mourning for their heirs. They were much more nervous and fearful than the ordinary people. .
Except for the Japanese leader, the rest of the Japanese pirates were also dressed in ferocious Japanese armor, and were armed with Japanese swords, tachi and other weapons that shone coldly and were terrifying. The Mediterranean-style hairstyle of the Japanese pirates looked like disheveled evil ghosts in hell to the officials and people in the city. The Japanese swords they held were almost twice as long as the waist swords of the Ming army. The long bows on their backs were almost as tall as a person, making them even more ferocious and terrifying. All the officials and people on the city wall were frightened.
In addition, this group of fierce Japanese crowns also pulled three carriages. The carriages were covered with black linoleum cloth. I don’t know what was covered underneath. All the officials and people on the city wall were frightened and a little curious about what the Japanese pirates were pulling. "
"What did the Japanese pull? Gunpowder?! Do they want to use gunpowder to blow up the city wall?!"
Someone whispered.
But , people are not very worried about this speculation. Firstly, it is difficult for Japanese pirates to get close to the city wall to blast, and secondly, the power of the gunpowder is limited. There seems to be a lot of gunpowder, but it cannot destroy the city wall. Indeed, the power of gunpowder in this era is limited, and the proportion and formula are different from modern black gunpowder. The gunpowder formula in this era is also mixed with some messy things such as cinnabar and poisonous smoke. The mixture is impure and the power of the blast is vastly different. "
"Could what the Japanese pulled were food and baggage?"
The people in the city considered this possibility again, guessing whether what the Japanese pulled could be their baggage. Are the Japanese pirates preparing to besiege Yingtian City for a long time?! But they can only fight with about fifty people. Besides, the Japanese pirates committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting. They didn't need food, grass, or supplies. If they were hungry, they could just go to surrounding villages and towns to rob. That's what they had always done.
Therefore, people are also skeptical about this speculation.
What exactly was pulled on the Japanese pirate carriage? ! Everyone on the city wall was terrified and guessing.
The answer was soon revealed.
After the Japanese pirates arrived at the city, they drove the carriage and continued moving forward.
"Set the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Don't let the Japanese pirates get close, don't give them a chance to use any conspiracy!"
"Set the arrows!"
Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War And several generals shouted almost in unison, ordering the defenders to fire arrows!
Swish swish swish
The Ming troops on the city wall fired arrows in response.
Suddenly, a wave of feather arrows flew down. I can’t praise it for not being effective enough. Only about one-fifth of the feather arrows were at the normal level, and the other two-thirds of the feather arrows were either shot. Too close, or too far off.
The Japanese pirates looked at the Ming army's feathered arrows and laughed. They were not nervous at all, because they had already estimated the distance. They stopped just outside the Ming army's arrows. The Ming army's feathered arrows were only One-fifth of the feathered arrows landed two or three meters in front of them, while the others either fell to the ground weakly, or missed the target by hundreds of thousands of miles.
“Only one-fifth of the feathered arrows are barely passable. Haha, is this the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Guard?! The level of archery is not much better than that of the county soldiers! It seems that the Ming Imperial Guard is not enough. "Consideration."
Matsuura Sanbanro roughly counted the number of arrows, twitched his lips, and let out a disdainful laugh.
"Haha, this trip to Yingtian was not in vain. The Ming Dynasty Forbidden Army is just like this. Most of them are incompetent people. In the future, His Highness can rest assured and come with all the troops." Nabeshima Naoman also laughed along with him. .
"The Ming Dynasty's official army is not a concern, but the Ming Dynasty's city is really tall. Such a huge city is really an eye-opener for me. I once went to Shangjing with my family governor, but Shangjing is far inferior to this. "
Matsuura Sanbanlang looked at Ying Tiancheng and said with emotion.
"Haha, no matter how tall the city is, it will be captured one day, no exception. Let us try this time." Nabeshima Naoman licked his lips, turned to wave to the Japanese pirates driving the car, and gave the order He said, "Give the gift to Mingren."
The Japanese pirates who drove the cart cheered, slapped the horse's butt hard, drove the horse forward, and at the same time forcefully opened the linoleum.
"Hahaha, Akito, we have come a long way, so we are not showing any respect, but we ask you to accept the work."
Nabeshima Naoshima laughed loudly, and responded loudly to the officials and people on the Amagi Castle. He shouted, his smile was extremely hideous and terrifying.
After being photographed, the horse was frightened and ran forward. The linoleum was uncovered by the Japanese pirates again, and the contents of the carriage were immediately reflected in the eyes of the officials and people in Yingtian City.
"Huh?! Human heads, human heads!"
"Oh my god, they are all human heads. I'm scared to death."
"Ah!!!!"
When everyone on the city wall saw three carts full of heads, they screamed uncontrollably, and their panic was doubled! Many timid officials and civilians were so frightened that they peed their pants. One even a weak official fainted from fear and rolled his eyes. The people around him slapped and pinched him again, and he was rescued after some operations. However, the atmosphere of panic increased sharply again, and it spread across the city in an instant like a plague. (End of this chapter)
