Chapter 1839 The Unwilling Japanese Pirates
“Quickly, bring up the good wine and food, and treat Mr. Zhu and all the soldiers well. We have been fighting in the freezing cold for so long, why don’t we eat some hot soup and hot food? How can you warm yourself up with hot wine?" After welcoming Zhu Pingan and his party, Magistrate Shang urged the officials around him to prepare food and drinks to entertain Zhu Pingan and the Zhejiang army officers.
"I obey, I am here to urge you. I must let Mr. Zhu and the other soldiers eat and drink well. They are the great benefactors of hundreds of thousands of people in our Suzhou City." In response, he turned around and went to order the food.
What to eat? Zhu Pingan was speechless for a while.
“Wait a minute, Lord Shang, we’ll use the food and wine later. The city of Suzhou is not yet completely out of crisis. After the Japanese reinforcements arrive, they will definitely not be willing to give in. They will definitely attack the city, and they will have to fight back hard. The Japanese attack will make them accept the fact of defeat. It will not be too late to enjoy the food and wine after they retreat."
Zhu Ping'an waved his hand repeatedly, called out to the hostess of the reception room, and said to the Suzhou magistrate and others.
"Ah?! The city gates are closed, the Japanese pirates will attack the city?!"
After hearing this, Zhifu Shang and other officials couldn't help but feel their hearts beat. The city gates were closed, and they Are you still going to attack the city?
"Of course they will. When the troops approach the city, they won't give up unless they attack." Zhu Ping'an nodded affirmatively.
"That" Hearing this, Magistrate Shang looked at Zhu Ping'an and the Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers behind him, but hesitated to speak.
Several hundred Japanese pirates had just attacked the city, and the defenders on the city were as weak as chickens. Now tens of thousands of Japanese pirates have arrived outside the city. Although they have the advantage of the city wall, the magistrate Shang has no confidence at all based on the garrison on the city.
But just now Zhu Pingan led the Zhejiang army to fight fiercely outside the city, and he was really embarrassed to let people go to the top of the city to defend the city. But no matter how embarrassed you are, you still have to speak. Why are the defenders at the top of the city so weak?
While Magistrate Shang was thinking about how to speak, Zhu Ping'an twitched his lips and took the initiative to ask for help, "Sir Shang, there are many Japanese reinforcements outside the city. Although our Zhejiang army fought a lot outside the city, However, at this time of crisis in Suzhou, At this critical moment of life and death, we are all part of Suzhou, and there is no reason to stay out of it. Our Zhejiang army has many weapons and is suitable for defending the city. Please give us a chance."
"Zi Hou, this is your job. There was a fight outside the city Fan, I'm really sorry that I haven't rested yet. But as Zihou said, this moment is about the life and death of Suzhou City and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. I can only be shameless and invite Zihou and the Zhejiang Army. The soldiers followed me up to the city wall and fought back When the Japanese invaders attack, I must represent the hundreds of thousands of people in Suzhou and thank Zihou and the Zhejiang army officers.” The officers and men of the Zhejiang Army came to the top of the city.
"Master Shang, please." Zhu Pingan handed over his hand.
"Please, Zi Hou." Magistrate Shang also gave in.
While the two were being polite to each other, a soldier hurriedly ran down from the top of the city. He was out of breath and broke out in a cold sweat. He reported to the magistrate Shang in a panic, " Sir, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived at the city. There are tens of thousands of them. They have also carried out the siege ladder, and they are about to attack the city."
After hearing this, Zhifu Shang couldn't help but He panicked and gave in without hesitation. He grabbed Zhu Pingan's arm and pulled him up the stone steps. Then he said, "The Japanese pirate army is about to attack the city. Zihou, let's go up quickly."
"Daqian, you take 300 soldiers to stay behind to reinforce the city gate and take care of the wounded and wounded brothers. The rest of the Zhejiang Army soldiers will line up to the top of the city." Zhu Ping'an was dragged up the city wall by Magistrate Shang, and he did not forget to turn around and command the Zhejiang Army.
Magistrate Shang dragged Zhu Pingan up to the city wall. Seeing the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army lining up in an orderly and fast manner, he couldn't help praising Zhu Pingan, "Zihou is worthy of being Zihou. He commands the troops and horses as directed." Arm commander, the Zhejiang army's orders are strictly enforced and orderly. In addition to writing in the book, I also I have never seen such a strong army in reality, and it was only brought out by Zihou in a few months. Zihou is really a talented person."
Zhu Ping'an did not take the praise of Magistrate Shang seriously. At the critical moment, if any supporting troops come, I believe Shang Zhifu will be able to boast.
Arrived at the top of the city, Zhu Ping'an carefully observed the Japanese pirates under the city. All the Japanese pirate reinforcements had arrived, numbering about 20,000.
From a numerical point of view, the number of Japanese pirates outside the city far exceeds that of the defenders on the city.
However, Zhu Ping'an was not worried at all. The walls of Suzhou City were tall, and the Japanese pirates outside the city were rushing to attack the city. There were only less than thirty siege ladders. How could they capture Suzhou City.
In front of the Fengqiao camp, with the low wall, he could greatly demoralize the Japanese pirates and make their heads bloody. Now, with the tall walls of Suzhou City, Zhu Ping'an is fully confident that the Japanese pirates will be defeated and sink into the sand.
What's more, the success of the Japanese pirates is just because they are unwilling to give in. Just a head-on blow can make them wake up, give up their unrealistic ideas, and let them understand that when the gate of Suzhou is closed, it has been declared Their Suzhou strategy failed.
However, the defenders on the city did not have the confidence of Zhu Pingan. Just now, hundreds of Japanese pirates attacked the city from inside the city, and they were so frightened that they were killed. At this moment, there were not hundreds of Japanese pirates outside the city, but Wuyangyang. tens of thousands of Japanese pirates.
"I, my calf seems to be cramped," a defender said shivering and squatted down.
With the defenders nearby, it is not much better. "My second brother seems to have cramps"
"Damn it, your second brother is having a cramp, your second brother is pumping water, you fucking peed your pants!" Wet, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Ahem, I didn't wet my pants. I just accidentally spilled the water I was drinking. Well, that's right, it was water."
The man's voice was trembling and he forced himself to stop. Respect the Tao.
“Shit is spilled with water. I can smell the smell of urine even three meters away from you. You are also spilled with water. You are drinking urine.”
The people around burst into laughter, but as they laughed, the sound changed and the vibrato came out.
There are tens of thousands of Japanese pirates watching eagerly outside the city. How can they laugh out loud? Just now, hundreds of Japanese pirates have killed their heads and their blood is flowing into rivers. It is even more ridiculous to say that there are tens of thousands of Japanese pirates outside the city. Even if they have two heads, they are not enough for the Japanese pirates to chop off.
Compared with the frightened Japanese pirates, the Zhejiang army officers and soldiers were much more calm. They loaded the muskets calmly and leisurely, and joked casually, treating the Japanese pirates outside the city as if they were nothing. They had a psychological attitude towards the Japanese pirates. Advantageous.
Not to mention that in front of the Fengqiao camp, nearly ten thousand Japanese pirates ended their criminal lives with their firearms. Let’s just say that they were fighting against the Japanese pirates outside the city just now. They were all defeated, and hundreds of Japanese pirates fell to the ground. their feet.
