Under the darkness of the night, outside the north gate of Nagasaki Castle, more than 40,000 Japanese troops quietly gathered, and due to the large number of people, the formation was too large. Even if there is cover for the night, they cannot completely hide their whereabouts.

When the Japanese army had just begun to assemble, the Dongjiang army had already found out. Xiao Li's face became very solemn, although he had foreseen that the Japanese army would definitely come to attack Beicheng. But the battle in front of him was beyond his expectations, and the Japanese army was obviously in a position of fighting to the death, which made Xiao Liton feel more pressured.

"The Japanese army is going to fight us to the end, General Xiao, I'm afraid we are in danger this time." Kim Jong-ri said bitterly.

Fortunately, this time Kim Jong-ri did not show the slightest panic, and seemed to be numb to the attack of the Japanese army.

"Leave it to the fate of heaven, the only thing we can do is to resist the arrival of reinforcements with all our might." Xiao Li said indifferently.

Kim Jong-ri nodded silently, then turned to leave, he now needed to boost the morale of the North Korean army. At the time of life and death, it is necessary for the North Korean army to show enough courage to fight to the death against the enemy.

Seeing that the Japanese army had indeed all gathered outside the northern city, Xiao Li thought for a while, and he immediately ordered the Dongjiang army officers and soldiers from the other three cities to be mobilized back. The other three gates obviously no longer need to be defended, after all, the Japanese army is in a posture of fighting to the death.

The 3,000 Dongjiang troops were soon in place, and everyone in the city was also gathered on the northern city. Jin Zhengli smiled bitterly and said to Xiao Li: "Now that all of our men are here, we have roughly calculated just now, there are only less than 6,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Kim Jong-ri's words were very bitter, and it was impossible for 6,000 people to resist the attack of more than 40,000 Japanese troops.

Xiao Li turned to look at Jin Zhengli and said with a wry smile: "It's now the third watch, and we still have some fierce fire oil, which is enough to last for a while." As long as we are united in our efforts to resist the enemy, it is not impossible to hold out until dawn. ”

Kim Jong-ri nodded in agreement, and then the two separated, each staring at the defense of his subordinates.

At this moment, the Japanese army had been assembled, and the sound of the horn of attack began to waft through the night. The sound of a long horn is like a cry from hell, and it makes people feel chills in their hearts.

The sound of rumbling footsteps then sounded, and in the dim moonlight, Xiao Li vaguely saw the Japanese army rushing in formation. He immediately shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

The 3,000 Dongjiang troops immediately responded violently, and then checked their respective fire-breathing oil tanks again to make sure that there was no problem, and then stared at the slowly approaching Japanese army.

10,000 vanguard Japanese soldiers rushed to the front, and most of these vanguard soldiers were disabled in the army. All of them were ordered by Cao Xiong to be assembled and used as cannon fodder. Because Cao Xiong understood that once the army approached the city wall, it would inevitably be attacked by the fierce fire oil spit attack of the Dongjiang army. It was not supposed to use these military disabilities as cannon fodder, but Cao Xiong was at the end of his rope at the moment, so he had to act rashly regardless of the danger of turmoil in the army's heart.

Kill......

No matter how slow the pace of the march was, when it came time to sprint, 10,000 wounded and disabled Japanese soldiers were driven and frantically rushed under the northern city.

There was still no movement on the side of the Dongjiang Army, but the North Korean Army, under the instruction of Kim Jong-ri, began to use those gunpowder jars to launch a counterattack on the Japanese Army.

Originally, the North Korean army could have used artillery to carry out a long-range attack, but unfortunately, in the dark night, the line of sight was blocked, and it was impossible to see far at all. Instead of taking the few remaining shells and gunpowder to fight indiscriminately, it is better to stay and convert it into a gunpowder jar to attack the Japanese army.

"Bang ......"

The explosions came and went.

The Japanese army that rushed to the city wall was immediately greatly damaged, and a large number of people were killed and wounded. However, the Japanese army behind did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and still went forward one after another, completely ignoring the tragic death of their companions in front.

"Bow and arrow arrays ready!"

There was a sudden burst of shouting from the rear of the Japanese army.

The array of 10,000 archers was already in place, and under the shouts of the Japanese generals, they raised their bows and arrows fifty degrees and aimed at the northern city.

"Shoot!"

A rain of 10,000 arrows shot into the night sky in an instant, and then rained down on the entire northern city.

The rain of arrows of the Japanese army came very suddenly, and the Dongjiang army and the Korean army were immediately hit hard by the defenseless situation. Nearly 1,000 soldiers were hit by arrows, and more than 100 people were hit by the key points and died on the spot. The rest of the injuries were different, but Xiao Li immediately became vigilant, and he immediately shouted: "Shield hand, protect!" ”

With only a thousand shields in order, they immediately rushed up to the wall, stood in front of them in a line, and then erected a row of canopies on top of the wall. The shield had just been set up here, and the second rain of arrows from the Japanese army over there followed.

In the sound of ding ding dong, the rain of nearly 10,000 arrows of the Japanese army had lost the effect of the first attack. Hardly any more damage was inflicted on the Dongjiang Army and the North Korean Army, except for a dozen unlucky guys, who were wounded by arrows that fell into the gap.

Although the rain of arrows of the Japanese army did not cause heavy casualties to the Dongjiang Army and the Korean army, it also blocked the offensive of the Dongjiang Army and the Korean army. This directly bought time for the Japanese army under the city to build ladders, and nearly a thousand ladders were placed on the city wall in an instant.

"The fire-breathing oil tank is ready, burn the ......" Xiao Li's sonorous voice thundered.

The muzzles of the three thousand flame-breathing oil guns immediately stretched out of the shield, and as soon as the muzzles drooped, the flame dragon appeared. There were no accidents, and in an instant, the entire Beicheng outside suddenly turned into a sea of fire.

The screams and exclamations of the Japanese army came and went, but they soon fell silent. The fierce attack of the Japanese army was abruptly stopped, and the vanguard troops that were slightly behind involuntarily retreated.

Cao Xiong's crazy roar then rang out: "Keep shooting the bow and arrows, don't stop." The vanguard army buried the flames with sand and continued to rush. ”

This was completely disregarding the deaths and injuries of the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Japanese army were all resistant when they heard the order. But those henchmen and guards of the grass heroes did not have the slightest politeness, and directly slashed and killed those who dared to retreat, forcing these Japanese soldiers who were originally disabled because of the war.

The vanguard army of the Japanese is very embarrassed, and if they retreat, they will definitely die, and if they rush forward, there may be a glimmer of life. But the fierce flames in front of them discouraged them.

The rain of arrows from the Japanese army continued, and the ground above the city wall was full of arrows at the moment. Although the Dongjiang army is guarded by shields, every time the rain of arrows comes, there will always be unlucky guys who are more or less hit by arrows.

"General Xiao, we must find a way to defeat the arrow array of the Japanese army, and we can't let them shoot arrows so unscrupulously." Kim Jong-ri hurriedly ran to Xiao Li's side and shouted.
