Chapter 1110: Outnumbered? No, I'm outnumbered!
"Cut down trees, build ladders, ten siege ladders must be completed in half an hour, I want to make Jingnan bleed!"
When the raid failed, the leader of the Japanese invaders, Heihachiro, became angry, armed with a Japanese sword, and urged the Japanese to build a siege ladder.
"Hey!"
The Japanese responded in a hurry, with axes, machetes, and swords in battle, speeding up the logging and hurrying to build siege ladders.
Seeing the Japanese outside the city in full swing to build siege ladders, the despair of the people in the city became deeper and deeper, some desperately hugged their heads and cried, and some desperately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and chanted words, praying for the gods of all parties to save them......
There are only so many defenders left in the city, and there is no guard post within a radius of thirty miles near Jingnan County, so it is impossible to have reinforcements in a short time.
With more than 30 people, against 3,000 widows, there is no chance of victory!
How is this city defended?
it, we're going to die! The common people are crying in despair, and the whole Jingnan is about to be enveloped in crying.
"County Zun, can this city still be defended?"
In the desperate cries of the people, the officials and soldiers on the city wall also fell into despair.
"Yes!"
Zhu Ping'an replied loudly.
Must be able to keep!
Defend the city or die. This seemingly two-choice multiple-choice question is actually only one option to defend the city!
If you can't keep it, you have to create conditions! Must be able to keep! Must be kept! Moreover, you can only succeed, not fail!
"County Honor...... It's not humiliation that demoralizes, it's just ...... It's just that we only have about 30 brothers now, and there are still two or three thousand Japanese pirates outside, and we are outnumbered, so how can more than 30 of us defend the siege of two or three thousand Japanese pirates? ”
A soldier with an injured arm listened to Zhu Ping'an's words, sighed, and said dejectedly.
"Who said that only thirty of our brothers were guarding the city?" Zhu Ping'an shook his head and said meaningfully.
"Isn't it? One two three four...... Thirty-nine, that's right. The soldier asked suspiciously.
The soldier stretched out his hand and counted it, and there were thirty-nine people on the city wall. Even if the people from the other three city gates were transferred, it would only increase by more than 30 people, and besides, the people from the other city gates could not be transferred at all, and if there was no one to guard the city gates, wouldn't it be easy for the Japanese to attack the county seat from the other city gates.
"Not more than 30 brothers, but more than 30,000 brothers, and we have more than 30,000 brothers guarding the city. It's not that I'm outnumbered, it's that I'm outnumbered! Zhu Ping'an said softly.
"More than 30,000 brothers? Am I outnumbered? When the soldier heard this, his mouth opened wide in surprise, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Prefectural ...... Silly, right?! How can you tell nonsense with your eyes open? There were so many people on the city wall, I had counted them several times, it was impossible to count them wrong, how could there be more than 30,000 brothers. It's obvious that I'm outnumbered, why are I outnumbered?!
"County ......"
The soldier opened his mouth and was about to argue, but when he looked up, he found that Zhu Ping'an had turned around and walked slowly towards the battlements on the inner side of the city wall.
"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers!"
Zhu Ping'an walked slowly to the battlements on the inner side of the city wall, pressed his hand on the city wall, and shouted loudly to the desperate crying people under the city wall.
The people in despair under the city heard the voice of the county magistrate, and couldn't help temporarily stopping their tears and prayers of despair, and looked up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has seen it. Three thousand Japanese invaders attacked the city, our servants and soldiers were good, they were very brave, bravely killed the enemy, not a single person flinched, they did it, held the first wave of attacks of the Japanese invaders, and let the Japanese leave more than 100 corpses. However, we also suffered heavy casualties, 32 killed and 29 wounded, and only 39 were left to fight again, while there were still more than 3,000 pirates outside the city. Now, the Japanese outside the city are cutting down trees and building siege ladders, and when the siege ladders are built, it will be time for the Japanese to attack the city again. Now is the critical juncture of Jingnan's life and death. ”
Zhu Ping'an pressed his hand on the city wall and said loudly to everyone, without hiding the current life-and-death crisis.
"Woo...... More than 30 defenders, more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, how to defend this city, God, Buddha, great compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, please save us, please. ”
"Alas, it's dead!"
"Woo woo, such a little person, still guarding a fart city. Let's just find a rope and understand it......"
"With such a small number of people, how can you defend Jingnan, if you want to guard Jingnan, unless the gods and Buddhas help you."
Hearing Zhu Ping'an's frank life and death crisis, the people in the city became even more desperate, praying to God and worshiping Buddha, crying and grabbing the earth, and complaining about the sky......
"More than 30 defenders, more than 3,000 widows, how to defend this city?" Zhu Ping'an looked at everyone and pulled the corners of his mouth, "I heard someone asking God to worship Buddha, saying that they want to guard Jingnan, unless the gods and Buddhas help them." ”
"That's right, such a few defenders, so many widows, unless the gods help, how can they defend the city."
"Unless there is a miracle, you will die."
"Lord Zhixian, let's go up to the altar and burn incense, ask God to worship Buddha, maybe there will be gods willing to help."
"Hey, miracles, ethereal, how can you ask for it......"
The city was in chaos, and some people proposed to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha, like drowning and grasping the last straw.
"Pray to God and worship Buddha?" Zhu Ping'an tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Once upon a time, there was a devout Buddhist, and once again he encountered difficulties, so he went to the temple to ask for great compassion and compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, and begged the Bodhisattva to help him resolve the difficulties. When he walked into the temple and knelt down to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva, he found that there was also a person on the futon next to him who was praying to Guanyin Bodhisattva. He found that this person looked very similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva, just like the Guanyin Bodhisattva Buddha statue was alive, so he asked curiously, 'Are you Guanyin Bodhisattva?' Guanyin replied, 'Yes.' The Buddhists asked, 'Since you are Avalokiteshvara, why do you worship yourself?' Avalokiteshvara replied, 'Because I've also encountered difficulties, but I know that it's better to pray to God than to seek myself!' ’”
"It is better to pray to God than to yourself!"
Zhu Ping'an's words were like a thunderbolt, which exploded above everyone's heads, making everyone instantly excited.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, it is better to ask God than yourself, and it is better to ask others than yourself! This is the time of life and death in Jingnan County! Now what can save Jingnan is the fathers and villagers themselves, and the people who can save the fathers and villagers are also the fathers and villagers themselves. Although there are more than 3,000 Japanese pirates, there are 30,000 in Jingnan County. Get up! Fathers and fellow folks! Stand up! Let's defend the city together! We have 30,000, and the Japanese have only 3,000; With 30,000 against 3,000, occupying the right time, place and people, how can there be no reason to keep it! As long as you keep it, you will keep it! Zhu Ping'an was impassioned and shouted hoarsely, "But if, if we don't defend the city." The Japanese will kill us with their swords! Killed our parents, wives and children! And he will point to our bones and say, 'Look, this is a coward without eggs!'"
"Defend the city!"
"Defend the city!"
"Lord Zhixian, we are not cowards, we have to defend the city!"
"If you don't defend the city, you will surely die! Defending the city can still make a way to live, and fight with the Japanese Bandits! ”
Zhu Ping'an's words were like a match thrown into a barrel of explosives, and the city instantly exploded! Please, the battle is roaring!
