Touring the Ming Dynasty

Although Hai'an Town is rich, 5000 taels is not a small amount. At that time, there was a turbulent discussion. Many local young men who were resting ran down the city to call their parents and brothers. The whole Hai'an Town was mobilized. Everyone Knowing the consequences of being invaded by Japanese pirates, one will prosper and one will be destroyed. Anyone who can go to the battlefield is unwilling to leave. They want to defend their homeland and fight to the death with the Japanese pirates. This is exactly what Wang Dequan has preached and taught for so many years. .

Shi Butou was not idle either, he found a few surviving Lizhengs, went to the old house of the Wang family together, dug up the cellar of the Wang family, brought out a large amount of real gold and silver, and piled them openly under the north gate of the city. The implication is quite obvious, as long as the Japanese pirates rush into the city, these things will belong to the Japanese pirates!

Shi Yufeng asked Li Zheng and the others to arrange for the old and weak women and children in Hai'an Town to leave through the south gate where there were no Japanese pirates, and at the same time searched Hai'an Town to find and collect things that could be used to defend the city.

The Japanese pirates outside the city rested for a full hour, and then lined up again and slowly approached, giving Hai'an Town a rare chance to breathe. This was just as Duan Fei expected, and it was also an important reason why he was able to convince Shi Yufeng.

It took a whole hour from the smoke rising from the Wang family's old house to the time when the Japanese pirates came to attack Hai'an Town. It is not easy for so many pirates to hide nearby. Even if every village is full of pirates, there are only a few dozen households in that village, and there are no more than a hundred young and middle-aged people. It is necessary to gather an army of more than a thousand people. It's not easy, and most of these Japanese pirates came here in a hurry. Not only were they tired from the journey, but they didn't even have time to eat breakfast. Moreover, they probably thought that Hai'an Town was about to be destroyed, and it would be too late even if they sent someone to ask for reinforcements. They had enough rest. Time to attack the city is a matter of course.

The bows and arrows carried by the guards had already been shot, and the soil and arrows in Hai'an Town's reserves were also used up in the first round of defending the city. There were repeated bangs, and several of the Japanese pirates who were closer to the front fell down immediately.

The Ming Dynasty had very strict management over muskets. Ordinary guard officers and soldiers had never even seen this novel thing. Those Japanese pirates lived at sea all year round, but they knew how powerful this thing was. When they heard the musket fire, some Japanese pirates immediately Fell to the ground, more turned around and ran, retreating hundreds of steps with a huff, and turned around after leaving the maximum range of the musket.

The musket showed its power at the beginning, and seeing the Japanese pirates leaving a few corpses and retreating, the people on the city wall cheered one after another.

Duan Fei didn't see much joy in his eyes. The muskets he found in Wang's house were less than ten. To fire a musket these days, you have to wipe the gunpowder on the barrel before stuffing it with bullets. Unskilled gunners can wait at least 2 minutes before shooting again. In 2 minutes, the enemy is enough to rush up and kill you five or six times. Ten muskets can only scare the enemy, and are of no use at all.

The pirate leader was taken aback just now, but he soon came to his senses, yelling and cursing, the pirates rushed towards Hai'an Town again.

The musketeers retreated to the rear and were busy firing their gun barrels. Seeing that there was no sound of gunfire, the Japanese pirates became more courageous. The long ladder made of big bamboos clattered up the city wall. The Japanese pirates bit their weapons and bravely climbed up.

Wow... The hot oil is the most primitive and very useful weapon for defending the city. No matter how strong the Japanese pirates were poured on their heads, faces and bodies, they couldn't stop the burning sensation. They screamed and fell down. The Japanese pirates below snatched it up again. Some Japanese pirates wore bamboo hats on their heads and were not afraid of the boiling oil. Some people threw down the lit oil bottles, torches, and oil-soaked cloth strips, and burned the city up and down. In the sea of ​​fire, many Japanese pirates were buried under the city wall.

Even so, there are still many Japanese pirates rushing to the top of the city. These Japanese pirates have all practiced martial arts. It is crowded under the city wall, scrambling to climb up.

"Yuqi, it's your turn!" Duan Fei said to Yue Yuqi, who was already ready.

Yue Yuqi nodded heavily, lit the fuse with the torch, saw the timing, and jumped off the wall...

A hemp rope was tied around Yue Yuqi's waist, and the other end was tied to Yue Yulin's waist. When Yue Yuqi jumped down, Yue Yulin strode towards the gap opened by the Japanese pirates, and Yue Yuqi's body fell a certain distance, and the rope Tensioned, he followed an arc and slashed towards the Japanese pirates below the city.

When gliding over the Japanese pirates, Yue Yuqi slammed the explosive pack that was almost exhausted in his hand at the place where the Japanese pirates were most densely populated. At the same time, he let out a loud roar. Hearing the signal, Yue Yulin, who was running wildly on the city wall, stared at him with both feet. The body took Yue Yuqi into the air at the same time.

The Japanese pirate leader who was standing in the distance watching the battle let out a roar, and the explosive package exploded suddenly among the Japanese pirates. Yue Yulin pulled the rope amidst the flying flesh and blood, and Yue Yuqi took advantage of the situation to plunder the city. The Japanese pirates under the bomb were turned upside down, and no one could stand within 50 meters of the center of the explosion. The bombing killed more than [-] people on the spot and injured countless people.

The officers, soldiers and commoners on the top of the city cheered again, but they soon fell into a bitter battle again. Following a series of roars from the Japanese pirates, more Japanese pirates swarmed up. After offering rewards and encouragement, the number of people defending the city has reached 600. There are many, but there is still a huge gap compared to the city. If there is not a city wall to hold each other, even Duan Fei would want to run away with his feet.

The ferocity and bravery of the Japanese pirates aroused everyone's enthusiasm. Duan Fei also bravely threw himself into the battle. He was condescending and protected by two brothers from the Yue family. They are not afraid of death, but their equipment is far worse than that of the Japanese pirates in the city. Not only are Japanese knives rare, most of them even only carry farm tools. Hoes, nine-toothed rakes and other things can be seen everywhere, and their fighting ability is far inferior Of the Japanese pirates that Duan Fei had seen in the city, they still had the upper hand in numbers.

Finally, because there are a group of masters in Hai'an Town, everyone worked together and finally withstood round after round of violent attacks. After the stalemate, the two sides fought for tenacity, and whoever couldn't hold on would collapse instantly.

As time went by, even the pirate leader couldn't help himself to participate in the siege battle. His martial arts are quite strong, and he is a new force. Once he rushes to the city wall, it will take at least three masters of Shaolin master level to besiege him again. Forced to go on, because he attracted the attention of a large number of masters, other Japanese pirates took the opportunity to rush forward. Everyone was desperate, but the situation became more and more dangerous.

The muskets were dumb, the gunpowder was gone, even the oil was gone, and all the flammable things under the city wall were burned up. Once the Japanese pirates rushed to the top of the city on a large scale, what would they have to resist?

Just when even Duan Fei was getting desperate, he suddenly heard the sound of blood-boiling shouts, and a large group of troops rushed out from the left side of the city gate. They were dressed in khaki military uniforms and held the Ming flag high. Like rushing towards the Japanese pirates, they soon fought together with the Japanese pirates.

The leader of the Japanese pirates who was fighting with all the masters on the city wall knew that the situation was over. He let out a snarl, swung his knife, turned over and jumped off the city wall, and led the pirates to fight and leave. Everyone on the top of the city cheered in unison. , They finally persisted until reinforcements arrived, and they won!

", I thought I was going to send my old life here this time..." Mr. Shi leaned against the crenel and sat down on his buttocks. He immediately groaned, his whole body was in pain, how long has it been since he worked so hard?Although he was extremely tired, the excitement on his face was unstoppable.

Duan Fei also sat down next to him, panting and said: "Yeah, it's finally over."

Yes, everything is over. Although the people on the top of the city have no strength to participate in the pursuit, but seeing the officers and soldiers of the guards fighting bravely, you know that there should be nothing more on the battlefield. The Japanese army was defeated like a mountain Well, these guard officers and soldiers won't suffer a big loss when they beat the dog in the water?

"No, promotion and fortune have just begun!" Mr. Shi couldn't help but grinned happily, and whispered to Duan Fei.

Yes, only those who survived have the chance to be promoted and rich. Duan Fei suddenly felt a little afraid when he saw the pile of corpses above and below the city.

There were only five disabled officers and soldiers left alive in the guard station. The township soldiers were almost wiped out, and more than 300 civilians who participated in the defense of the city were also killed or injured. During the service, more than [-] Japanese pirates were killed. The losses are basically the same.

After resting for a while, Shi Yufeng, who heard the shouts of killing had gone away, suddenly patted Duan Fei on the shoulder and said, "Have you had enough rest? The matter is not over yet. The Japanese spies dug countless tunnels underground in Hai'an Town, saying Maybe there are thieves hiding in it, we have to go and clean it up."

Seeing Mr. Shi's red-threaded eyes bent like ingots, doesn't Duan Fei know what he meant?Immediately he was refreshed, stood up and followed behind Shi Yufeng, gathered a group of arresters together, and was about to start earning their regular money.
