Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Situation Is Critical

Looking at the swarming of the rushing pirates, these soldiers on the city wall, who had never experienced the flames of war, all panicked, and they secretly looked outside the city wall while they began to prepare for a counterattack under the scolding of the officers.

Soon, a group of pirates rushed to the city wall with a long ladder, and with their efforts, a long ladder was erected at the top of the city, and soon several pirates climbed up the ladder.

"Quick, push the ladder out...... Push out to ......"

A general waved the waist knife in his hand and shouted loudly, under his command several soldiers carried a long bamboo pole and ran over, the fork head of the bamboo pole head against the head of the ladder outside, and then several soldiers struggled to push the ladder outside, the long ladder was slowly pushed away from the city, and then only heard a cry, the ladder fell backwards, and several widows who were climbing up the ladder fell heavily to the ground.

"Good ......"

The soldiers at the head of the city cheered when they saw this, but before they could finish cheering, dozens of arrows shot up at the head of the city, and several soldiers who were close to the battlements were either shot in the face or in the body, and fell to the ground screaming.

"をーチ (archery)...... 人を死にする (Shoot those Ming people) ......"

At some point, a group of Japanese archers had arrived at the bottom of the city, and under the command of a Japanese leader, they were shooting arrows at the city walls. The Japanese bamboo bow used by the Japanese Kou is very different from the bow and arrow of the Ming army, the most significant feature of their bow and arrow is "short at the bottom and long at the top", and the holding part is generally two-thirds down from the upper end, forming the characteristics of weak at the top and strong at the bottom, so the use of Japanese bows and arrows must be mastered with skilled skills. It is a bamboo bow, although the range is not far and the power is not very large, but the accuracy is particularly good, just now this round of arrow rain hit the city defenders by surprise, is the first round of arrow rain will hit more than ten soldiers.

Looking at the companions who screamed miserably, the soldiers at the head of the city were even more panicked, although the officers next to them kept shouting and scolding, but no one dared to pick up the bamboo poles on the ground anymore, and the Japanese under the city wall took advantage of the panic of the soldiers on the city wall, and set up the ladder again, and a famous Japanese robber climbed up towards the city.

"Gong is guarded, the thieves are attacking the city, hurry up and order the soldiers to drive the robbers down!"

Wu Zhenliang on the tower of the city gate looked at the group of hideous-looking Japanese robbers under the city wall and crawled towards the city wall while roaring, and the rain of arrows continued to shoot towards the city wall, and soldiers continued to fall under the arrows of the Japanese robbers, who had never seen such a cruel battlefield scene, and he was only frightened to his legs. At this time, he couldn't care about holding the prefect's shelf anymore, grabbed Gong Daxian's arm and said urgently: "Gong Shoubei, the thieves are up!" Hurry up and lead your troops to kill them! ”

Gong Daxian, who was caught a little painfully, looked at Wu Zhenliang, who was pale, and couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt in his heart, this guy seems to be full of official authority on weekdays, but at this time, he is cowardly, look at his current appearance, where does he look like the prefect of Yizhou. However, although Gong Daxian was disdainful, he did not show it, but responded loudly, and then personally went down to the city gate tower and came to the city wall, and personally joined the battlefield with dozens of his family members.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was the norm for generals to raise their families, and Gong Daxian's more than 60 family members were all dressed in iron armor and armed with heavy knives. Because it is related to their own net worth and life, it is Gong Daxian who often urges these families to practice diligently every day, and when these families join the battlefield, the situation on the city wall is immediately reversed, because the bow and arrow of the Japanese are limited, it is difficult to penetrate the iron armor worn by the family members, so these family members can rest assured that they will lean out of the battlements and fight with the Japanese who climbed the city wall, and for a time there are constantly Japanese who have just climbed to the head of the city are cut down by the family members.

Seeing that the Japanese were defeated one by one, Tanigawa Masaharu, who had advanced to more than 300 meters outside the city wall, said to Erectus Kankan with some worry: "Lord Eruichi, the Ming people occupy the advantage of the city wall, and now the warriors have suffered heavy casualties, do you want to let them retreat for a while, rest for a while and then attack?"

"No way!" Erectus Hanaka said decisively: "The attack can't be stopped, you immediately send my order to Suzuki to lead his men to continue to move forward, replace Sakai's team, Sakai's team will attack for two quarters of an hour and let Asano's team follow, and Akito must not be allowed to have a chance to breathe!" ”

"Ah......h

Tanigawa Masaharu shouted out in surprise, he didn't understand how Lord-sama Erectus Hanakan could give such an order, didn't he know that the casualties of the team would be very large?

"Yaga...... Smack...... Seeing that Tanigawa Masaharu did not carry out his orders, Erect Hanaka was furious, and stretched out his hand to slap him, "Didn't you hear my words?" ”

"Hai ......"

Tanigawa Masaharu was angry when she saw Erect Hanaka, and she didn't dare to say anything more, so she hurriedly conveyed the order.

The attack continued, and after the fierce attack lasted for more than half an hour, the movements of the family members led by Wu Zhenliang began to slow down. You must know that each of these family members has to wear forty or fifty pounds of iron armor and hold seven or eight pounds of weapons, and they have been fighting with the Japanese for so long, so the consumption of physical strength is very large, Rao is that they can eat enough every day, but after continuous high-intensity battles, they are also a little unbearable, and slowly their physical strength begins to fail.

"Kill!"

The steel knife in Wu Zhenliang's hand slashed towards the Japanese who had just poked his head out of the city wall, this Japanese had already prepared before he came up, and when he saw the steel knife cut off on the top of his head, he raised the Japanese knife in his right hand to block the steel knife, and after the two weapons collided, there was a crisp sound, but what Wu Zhenliang expected was that this Japanese was not chopped down by him, but blocked his attack, on the other hand, Wu Zhenliang was shocked by the force of the shock and retreated several steps in a row.

In the attack just now, the Japanese who had just climbed to the head of the city had no place to borrow strength, and they had to hold the ladder with one hand, so it was difficult to resist Wu Zhenliang, who was standing at the head of the city with all his strength, and generally speaking, as long as Wu Zhenliang cut them down with a knife, they would either take off their weapons or be cut down from the ladder, but now Wu Zhenliang's attack has failed, which shows that Wu Zhenliang's physical strength is very large.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhenliang's face immediately became manly, and even his physical strength began to be exhausted, and the other family members were naturally similar.

In fact, just as Wu Zhenliang expected, just as his face changed greatly, a miserable scream rang out next to him, and it turned out to be a widow who jumped onto the city wall, brandishing a widow knife in his hand and cutting a family member to the ground.

"It's not good, go over and stop him, don't let the thieves go up the city wall!" Wu Zhenliang shouted.

But just when Wu Zhenliang shouted, the widow had already taken the opportunity to climb the city wall, and he immediately slashed at Wu Zhenliang with a knife in both hands, just now he had seen clearly, the armor on this Ming officer was different from other Ming troops, it was very gorgeous, and it seemed that he should be the leader of this Ming army.
