Chapter 2029 The siege of the city was frustrated, and the people rewarded the army

“Damn it, it’s just one step away! Just one step away from taking the city gate!”

A group of Japanese pirates rushed to the door like crazy dogs. , happened to be locked out of the door, and couldn't help but kick the door with his feet in frustration.

A group of gatekeepers behind the gate quickly pushed their bodies against the city gate, fearing that the Japanese pirates outside the city would suddenly explode and kick open the city gate. In fact, even if they didn't use their bodies to hold up the city gate, the Japanese pirates outside the city couldn't kick it open. If the city gate can be kicked open with your feet, then this city gate is too much of a shoddy project.

“Here’s the bumper, drag it from the ship and break the city gate!”

"I have archers and muskets for me to aim at the officers and soldiers on the city wall. If anyone dares to show his head, I'll beat him! Cover the wood and break the door."

The Japanese pirates first came to the leader and saw that his Japanese pirates fell short, and got furious behind him and commanded his subordinates. The Japanese pirates hit the city gate with wooden sticks.

Soon, dozens of Japanese pirates hugged a thick wooden bumper, ran wildly, and slammed into the city gate.

"Bang!"

The crossbar blocking the city gate jumped from the impact, and the guarding officers and soldiers behind the city were also knocked to pieces. They were all so frightened that they couldn't help shouting, "Quick, use the support wood to support it." Stay at the city gate!”

A group of gatekeepers quickly used several thick supporting timbers to hold up the city gate. As a result, the city gate swayed less severely under the impact of the wood. However, in the long run, there was a risk that the city gate would be broken.

Of course the officers and soldiers on the city would not just sit back and watch the Japanese pirates hit the city gate with wooden sticks. Under the organization of the generals, they quickly opened their bows and arrows at the Japanese pirates outside the city, especially those who hit the gate, and threw them down. Stones and wood.

Although the officers and soldiers on the city neglected to practice, they occupied the advantageous location, shot arrows from a high position, and threw stones and wood. Many Japanese pirates were still shot and hit, which temporarily delayed the Japanese pirates from hitting the wood and the door.

However, soon, the Japanese pirates, who had been prepared for a long time, gathered long archers and fire gunmen with excellent shooting skills to fight back at the officers and soldiers who showed up on the city.

Suddenly, there were screams from the city, and the defenders who dared to show their heads to shoot arrows and smash stones were hit by arrows and fell to the ground or fell off the city wall screaming.

Soon, the Japanese pirates suppressed the officers and soldiers on the city wall.

"Crash! Crash hard!"

The Japanese pirates outside the city were banging against the door crazily. It was no longer just one log. They dragged two more logs from the boat, three in total, crazy. The city gate was hit hard, and the city gate was swaying and crumbling.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming."

Just when it was extremely urgent, a surprise cheer came from the city, and their reinforcements arrived.

The garrison in the city received news of the Japanese pirates' attack, and under the leadership of Cao Fangge, the Dianshi of Jiangyin County, rushed to the city gate urgently.

With the addition of these new forces and the command of Dianshi Cao Fange, the defenders on the city withstood the oppression of the Japanese pirates with long bows and fire muskets outside the city, and began to shoot arrows, fire muskets and fire muskets at the Japanese pirates below the city. Throw stones and wood.

"Such a huge city is difficult to conquer. The defenders have too great an advantage." Matsuura Shimosaburo said solemnly.

At this moment, he no longer despised the world as he did at the beginning. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were very weak, but the national power of the Ming Dynasty was very strong. According to the strong defense of the city, it would not be easy for the Japanese pirates to conquer it.

Even if their elite Japanese warriors came to attack the city, they would have to pay a high price to capture the city.

“It would have been better if the city gate defenders had reacted slower during the sneak attack just now. They closed the city gate and the sneak attack failed. But if we want to attack the city, we are not prepared enough. We can only hit the wood and even attack the city ladder. There is no preparation, and there is too little siege equipment. Especially now that reinforcements are coming to the city, it will be even more difficult for us to attack the city."

Ryuzoji Shingen also nodded. He is now committed to conquering Jiangyin. The county has given up hope.

They have no siege equipment, they only hit the wood. Reinforcements have come to the city. If they continue to attack, it is difficult to see any hope of conquering the county seat.

"Haha, General Ryuzoji, General Matsuura, be patient. The means of siege are not just sneak attacks and siege ladders, but we don't have siege ladders, etc. Siege equipment, but we have other preparations. Since I choose Jiangyin County, Jiangyin County will definitely be captured by us.”

Xu Hai said calmly, although the attack on the city was frustrated, he was not anxious at all. The old god was there and he was confident.

Maye also looked calm at this time.

“Are there any other preparations?” Matsuura Shimozaburo and Ryuzoji Shingen looked back in confusion.

In addition to boats, there are no other things dragged from the boats, such as cannons and other siege artifacts.

I didn’t see any other preparations at all.

Why Xu Hai and Maya were so calm and confident? Ryuzoji Shingen and Matsuura Shimosaburo looked at each other and were confused.

The Japanese pirates attacked and the defenders defended themselves, and they fell into anxiety for a while.

At this moment, a large group of common people in the city ate pots of pulp and came to the city gate with tears of gratitude to reward the army. "Master, Master, thank you for your hard work. You risked your swords to protect us. We will give you a reward." Send some food to show your appreciation.”

In addition to young and strong young men, there are many men, women and children in this large group of people, carrying buckets after buckets. Steaming meat soup, bucket after bucket of steamed rice, big pots and big plates of delicious and tasty pot-choi, hot and cold meat and vegetable dishes, and basket after basket of fried eggs. Cake, as well as a roasted suckling pig and a roasted whole lamb.

The defenders at the city gate were hungry. Seeing so many delicious foods and smelling the smell of the meat, they couldn’t bear it. Stop salivating.

"Master, hurry up and eat something. Once you are full, you will have the strength to fight the Japanese pirates."

"I know you are fighting, so I didn't bring you wine for fear of delaying your important event. Once you have beaten away the Japanese pirates, we will I’ll send you good wine.”

The people enthusiastically greeted the city gate defenders to enjoy the delicious food they brought, saying that they were afraid of delaying the matter and did not bring wine, so that the defenders could enjoy it without worries.

Cao Fange, the Dianshi of Jiangyin County, received the news and went down the city wall. He saw that the people came to reward the army voluntarily, and he couldn't help but feel that the morale of the military and the people were at work.

However, just to be on the safe side, Cao Dianshi checked their identities and said, "Folks, where are you from?"

"We are all from Yongchuanfang." The common people replied in a flurry, "Mr. Cao, we often see you patrolling the streets. Thanks to you, our city is so peaceful. We have accumulated blessings."

“Haha "Oh, it turns out they are the folks from Yongchuanfang. I would like to thank you on behalf of the county magistrate and the soldiers." Upon hearing this, Cao Dianshi completely put aside his worries and waved his hand to let the defenders go and let them carry the food to the city. The door rewards the army.
