Chapter 1836 The Desperate Magistrate Shang
The battle at the top of the city is in full swing. The Japanese pirates are not afraid of death and are desperately attacking the top of the city. The stone steps leading to the top of the city are covered with corpses, and the blood is like a stream. It gurgled down the stone steps and merged into a river of blood under the city.
Most of these corpses and tears and blood belonged to the defenders on the city, and only a small part belonged to the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates, who were not in a good position, only killed less than a hundred people, but they killed the garrison at the top of the city with their heads rolling and corpses strewn across the steps.
The defenders at the top of the city were so frightened that they were killed by the Japanese pirates. Magistrate Ren Shang raised the bounty twice, but it did not have much effect. The defenders at the top of the city were killed by the Japanese pirates and retreated step by step. The city is crumbling.
Without external force, the fall of the city is a foregone conclusion.
According to the ferocious offensive of the Japanese pirates, if the defenders can only last for a while at most, the city will fall.
“Damn it, there is no sign of the reinforcements yet, how can we still support it? Is God going to destroy Suzhou?!”
The gray-bearded Shang Zhifu looked around in despair, but he had not seen the reinforcements yet. The shadow of the man couldn't help but let out a long sigh of despair.
“That’s all, that’s all. I still have an unshirkable responsibility for this calamity. Zihou warned me many times. Although he paid attention to it, he didn’t pay enough attention to it. His control was not strict, which led to today’s calamity. I I have no face to face Zihou, and I have no face to face the Holy Emperor. I am ashamed of the mighty emperor's grace. If Suzhou falls, I will go with the city of Suzhou."
Magistrate Shang desperately pulled out the sword in his hand, murmured to himself, and was ready to kill himself as an apology after the city fell.
Just when Magistrate Shang was in despair and full of determination to die, he suddenly heard a burst of cheers from the soldiers around him.
"Reinforcements, reinforcements, it's the Zhejiang Army, the Zhejiang Army is coming." The soldiers at the top of the city jumped for joy.
Zhifu Shang looked down excitedly, and sure enough he saw hundreds of Zhejiang army officers and soldiers holding firecrackers rushing out of the city gate.
The Zhejiang Army's fire blunderbuss also has strange blades, steel bars as thick as a thumb, with a sharp front section and a cold light.
There were real Japanese and fake Japanese on the stone steps. The fake Japanese could understand the joyful shouts of the defenders, but the real Japanese could not understand Chinese. However, judging from the excited look of the defenders, they guessed that they were probably from the Ming army. When the reinforcements arrived, they hurriedly turned around and looked back, and sure enough they saw hundreds of Zhejiang troops blocking their way back and rushing up the stone steps.
"Dead, dead!"
The Japanese pirates were attacked from both sides and became even more fierce. They actually sent half of their troops to rush towards Liu Dadao and the others.
They just killed the defenders like chickens, feeling a sense of accomplishment, pride and superiority. Thousands of defenders on top of the city were chopped up like vegetables and melons by them. There were only a few hundred officials below the city. The army is not enough to fill their teeth.
They are convinced that a single charge can resolve the battle.
So, half of the Japanese pirates screamed confidently, holding knives in both hands, and rushed towards Liu Dadao and other Zhejiang troops.
"First wave, aim and prepare!"
Seeing the Japanese pirates rushing down, Liu Dadao calmly commanded his soldiers to divide into three waves under the stone steps, one wave with three rows, and three waves with nine. Row.
Due to the relatively narrow stone steps, only eight soldiers can stand side by side on one level. If they fire on the stone steps, the firepower will be relatively insufficient.
At this moment, the Japanese pirates rushed down on their own initiative and did themselves a big favor. If you deploy troops under the stone steps, you can have multiple soldiers in one row, and the firepower will be much more than sufficient.
When the Japanese pirates were about to rush forward and the hair on the Japanese pirates' faces could be clearly seen, Liu Dadao shouted, "Fire!" and directed the first wave of soldiers to fire at the Japanese pirates.
The first wave of soldiers heard Liu Dadao's order and immediately pulled the trigger.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The Zhejiang Army's signature dense and neat sound of firecrackers sounded, and it was so fast that the Japanese pirates stretched out to the Zhejiang Army's face. The Japanese pirates suddenly seemed to be lying down. Like wheat, it fell into large areas, and the Japanese pirates on more than ten stone steps in front of the Zhejiang Army were cleared.
Nearly half of the Japanese pirates who rushed down fell under this wave of fire.
The corpse of the Japanese pirate rolled down the steps and landed at the feet of the Zhejiang army, with blood flowing down.
It was so efficient and violent. In just a blink of an eye, the firecrackers went off, and half of the Japanese pirates who rushed down fell to the ground.
In this era, this is the unparalleled aesthetic of violence.
The surviving Japanese pirates who rushed down from above were so shocked by this scene that their hearts stopped and they could hardly breathe.
Holy shit, what happened just now? Why did all the comrades in front suddenly fall down and throw themselves into the street? !
This scene reminded them of the scene in front of the Fengqiao camp a few days ago, the terror of being dominated by the gunfire of the Zhejiang army.
For a moment, I was stunned.
The Japanese pirates were startled, but the Zhejiang army was not. The first wave of soldiers ignored the corpses of the Japanese pirates rolling at their feet and retreated skillfully and smoothly. The second wave of Zhejiang soldiers quickly stepped forward, raised their muskets, and aimed. Fire it up and get it done in one go.
There is no need for Liu Dadao to command at all. They have trained this set of procedures tens of thousands of times, and it has already formed a memory in their bones.
The Japanese pirates who were stunned on the stone steps suddenly became a living target.
Bang Bang Bang
After the neat and dense firecrackers of the Zhejiang Army were fired again, there were less than ten Japanese pirates still standing on the stone steps in front of them.
Half of the seven souls and six souls of these Japanese pirates have flown.
Facts have proved that the Japanese pirates are brave and brave, but they are still afraid of death. The reason why they seemed not afraid of death before was because the Zhejiang army that was against them could not bring them the fear of death, which made them appear brave. Not afraid of death.
When the God of Death stood in front of them and greeted them, they were equally frightened and their souls flew out of their minds.
Seeing that there were only less than ten Japanese pirates left, Liu Dadao didn't want to waste his muskets on these Japanese pirates. He reserved these muskets to deal with the Japanese pirates above, so he waved his hand and ordered, "The first one is the Japanese pirates." Three waves of soldiers rushed towards me, using bayonets to kill them. Kill them! The soldiers of the first and second waves quickly loaded up the gunpowder!"
After Liu Dadao finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards the Japanese pirates with his sword in hand. The bayonet followed Liu Dadao and rushed forward.
Seeing Liu Dadao rushing up, the Japanese pirates at the front came back to their senses from the violent aesthetics of the fire gun. They yelled ferociously and swung their swords at Liu Dadao.
Liu Dadao turned his head slightly to avoid the Japanese knife, and with one straight thrust of the knife, he sealed the Japanese pirate's throat with one blow.
The Japanese pirate's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he was not the enemy of this Akito. You must know that when he attacked the city just now, he killed at least five Akito defenders. What?
There is no point in believing it anymore, it is the fact. The world in his eyes is upside down, and he falls like a dead dog.
A row of eight Zhejiang troops followed, marching in neat steps, followed by Liu Dadao, who also rushed up, aiming at the remaining Japanese pirates and stabbed them forward
A few The Japanese pirates occupied scattered positions and fought on their own. No matter how they were the opponents of the Zhejiang army, they soon fell like dead dogs like the previous Japanese pirates. (End of this chapter)
