Chapter 1801 Victory in Defending the City
Under General Wang’s scolding, the officers and soldiers defending the city plucked up their courage and fearfully fired arrows, threw stones and rolled logs at the city, poured boiling water on the city, and defended the city with crossbows. They also whined and roared and shot towards the city.
However, they, who had been away from the battlefield for a long time, were now frightened and frightened, their hands and feet were trembling, and their archery skills were similar to those of a blind man, with no accuracy.
Especially the city-defending crossbow, which is very powerful and has a long range. But because of its great power and long range, it also misses ridiculously. It all went to my grandma’s house and flew high over the heads of the Japanese pirates. Zan shot into the moat.
However, despite this, the officers and soldiers defending the city also achieved some results as soon as they fought.
The arrow was so small that it had a big miss, but the stones and rolling logs that were thrown at the city were much larger. They hit the city with a bang and rolled out under the influence of inertia, killing many unlucky people. Japanese pirates.
The officers and soldiers on the city couldn't help but be excited when they saw the meritorious deeds made by rolling rocks and logs. It seems that the Japanese pirates are nothing special. They are all made of meat. If they are hit by rocks and logs, they will die just as well as if they are splashed with boiling water. Still screaming in pain.
Since archery is not accurate, we can throw rocks and rolling logs. Even if such a big guy throws it under the city with his eyes closed, he can still achieve great results.
As a result, the officers and soldiers on the city became enlightened, used their strengths and circumvented their weaknesses, and rushed to throw rocks and rolling logs down the city.
For a time, rocks and logs rained down like rain. So many rocks and logs hit many Japanese pirates.
"Hahaha, Japanese pirates are nothing special..."
The officers and soldiers in the city became excited for a moment, and the fear of facing Japanese pirates began to slowly dissipate in their hearts.
At this moment, I heard a loud "bang!" and saw the Japanese pirates braving rocks and rolling logs to put ladders up the city wall.
Although these ladders are simple achievements made by the Japanese pirates in a hurry in one night, the Japanese pirates obviously also put some thought into installing iron claw barbs on the top of the ladders.
After the ladder was put up on the city wall, the Japanese pirates below the city pulled the ladder back and forth. The iron claws on the ladder hooked firmly onto the city wall stacks, preventing the defenders on the city from overturning the ladder. .
Then, the Japanese pirates began to climb up the ladder like ants.
The officers and soldiers in the city began to focus on taking care of the ladder. One by one, they held stones and rolling logs and smashed them down the ladder. The Japanese pirates were thrown down the ladder with stones and fell to pieces. The wooden logs rolled down the ladder. A big bunch at a time.
A bold officer and soldier wanted to overthrow the Japanese pirate's ladder and let the Japanese pirates on it be buried with the ladder. As a result, the ladder had iron claws holding on to the city wall and could not be pushed no matter how hard it was. He had to pull out his saber and chop down the ladder and the ladder. At the joint of the iron claws, I thought of first destroying the iron claws of the ladder hooking the city wall, and then pushing the ladder down.
However, the Japanese pirates' feather arrows and fire blunderbuss soon taught them how to behave.
As the Japanese pirates' ladder was erected on the city wall, the Japanese longbowmen and firecrackers were mobilized to protect the ladder, focusing on paying attention to the officers and soldiers who leaned down to smash rocks and roll logs and were killed by the Japanese longbowmen and firecrackers. hand.
The officers and soldiers on the city were unable to shoot accurately, but the Japanese pirates were good shooters. Not to mention that their arrows were in vain, they hit sixty-seven out of ten.
The officers and soldiers on the city who rushed to throw stones and roll logs were hit by arrows or fired, resulting in heavy casualties.
The brave officer and soldier who hacked at the iron claws of the ladder suffered the worst. He was focused on by the Japanese archers and died of several arrows in his body.
He was almost shot into a hedgehog by the Japanese pirates.
For a time, the officers and soldiers in the city were dominated by the fear of Japanese pirates. No officers and soldiers dared to throw stones and logs down.
"A bunch of trash! We are condescending and protected by the city wall, but we are suppressed by the Japanese pirates' bows and arrows. I am really angry. Archers and crossbowmen, please listen to me and focus on shooting the Japanese pirates' bows. Archers. The Japanese pirates don’t have many archers, so why not just shoot them to death?”
General Wang couldn’t help but feel angry when he saw that the officers and soldiers in the city were suppressed by hundreds of Japanese pirate archers. Start cursing.
Under General Wang's angry scolding, the archers on the city wall fearfully pointed their heads at the Japanese pirate archers below the city and fired arrows.
Although their accuracy was not very good, they were condescending and protected by the city wall, and they were able to shoot against the Japanese archers without falling behind.
The officer archers on the city wall and the Japanese pirate archers below the city suffered casualties from each other. It was a 50-50 battle.
In a short period of time, dozens of people fell on both sides.
"The city guard's crossbows and the general's cannons are all aimed at the Japanese archers. Let's defeat them first!"
General Wang cursed in dissatisfaction and gave the order again. , mobilize the city defense crossbows and general cannons to deal with the Japanese pirate archers.
City defense crossbows are just fine. They are inaccurate and can only hit one out of ten shots. However, the general's cannon should not be underestimated. Although it is also inaccurate, it is powerful and can affect the surroundings even if it misses a little. of Japanese pirates.
As the city's crossbows and general cannons joined in the shooting, the Japanese archers soon couldn't hold on any longer and scattered and fled.
The pressure on the defenders on the city was immediately reduced.
"Hahaha, fight with me, you are still a bit young, I am from a family of military generals with five generations of family history!"
General Wang couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw the Japanese archers fleeing in all directions. He laughed, raised his arms and shouted, "Japanese pirate bow" The archers were crippled, so I threw stones and rolling logs at the city to kill these turtles."
At the same time, the Japanese pirates at the city also took advantage of the city to take care of the Japanese archers. Ignoring their gap, I stepped on the ladder and appeared on the city wall.
“Don’t let the Japanese pirates come up, poke them with spears, chop them with knives, pour boiling water on them, don’t let them come up!”
General Wang roared.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city trembled, and rushed to greet the Japanese pirates with swords and spears. Due to the large number of people and their condescending position, the Japanese pirate archers under the city were scattered again. , the officers and soldiers guarding the city were completely in control of the situation.
“Ah!”
Screams rang out one after another, and the Japanese pirates who emerged screamed and fell off the city wall, knocking down several Japanese pirates who were climbing ladders.
For a time, the officers and soldiers guarding the city had the upper hand. Stones and logs rolled down, and the Japanese pirates screamed. Whenever a Japanese pirate climbed up the ladder, he was used by the officers and soldiers in various ways. The weapon struck.
"Haha, I have killed several Japanese pirates! Let's see who dares to call me a softie again!"
"The Japanese pirates are not that powerful. Did you see that there was a Japanese pirate who attacked me just now? , I cut him off the ladder with one strike, and fell to the bottom of the city. He was bloody and dead."
"No wonder the Zhejiang Army yesterday. A great victory, these Japanese pirates are weak and skinny, not powerful at all."
"I saw several Japanese pirates who wanted to be deserters, they were so cowardly. , was beheaded by the Japanese pirates who were supervising the army behind. "
The officers and soldiers guarding the city became more and more obedient. At least hundreds of Japanese pirates died in their hands, and they couldn't help but float up.
"Run away, look, the Japanese pirates below the city started to run back, hahahaha, we won, we beat away the Japanese pirates attacking the city."
"Long live! Long live! The Japanese pirates ran away!" We won!”
A burst of cheers sounded. In an instant, the city wall turned into a sea of cheers. In sharp contrast, the Japanese pirates below the city fled in confusion.
