Under Zhu Ping'an's reminder and demonstration, many government officials and soldiers also used torches to burn the ropes. Except for a few ropes that had been wetted with urine and river water by the Japanese pirates in advance, most of the flying claw ropes were burned.
Was burned out.
The Japanese pirates did not make wall-climbing ladders in advance, and most of the climbing tools such as flying claw ropes were burned. The few ropes that were soaked in urine and could not be burned were also focused on by the defenders. For a time, huge rocks and gold liquid poured down.
, the Japanese pirates screamed and fell to the bottom of the city.
After hard work in clearing the Japanese pirates on the city wall, Jingnan County defended the first wave of Japanese attacks.
"The Japanese pirates have retreated!"
"The Japanese pirates have escaped!"
"We defended, we defended!"
After the Japanese pirates retreated, the government officials and soldiers on the city wall cheered and celebrated their victory happily.
"The defense is down?! The Japanese pirates have retreated?!"
"Really?!"
"Very good."
The city was trembling, and the desperate people heard that the Japanese pirates had retreated. They opened their mouths in surprise, were overjoyed, cried with joy, and ran around cheering happily. Jingnan County was like a sea of cheers.
Amid a burst of cheers, Zhu Pingan stood on the city wall with a relaxed expression but an extremely heavy heart.
Zhu Pingan's eyes are deep
Although the county seat was defended with difficulty, the situation is not optimistic at all. Because, firstly, this is just the first wave of attacks by the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates will definitely attack the city again after repairing; secondly, our own side suffered heavy casualties, with a hundred people on the west city.
Thirty-two government officials and soldiers were killed and 29 wounded in this wave of defense of the city, for a total of 61 casualties. There were only thirty-nine government officials and soldiers who still had fighting ability on the city wall. Three times,
The Japanese pirates were still outnumbered. Although the Japanese pirates suffered more losses, more than a hundred people were killed, but this loss was only a drop in the bucket for the Japanese pirates. They still had more than 3,000 people.
Zhu Pingan knew very well that the Japanese pirates retreated because simple climbing equipment such as flying claws and ropes were destroyed. They needed time to cut down trees and make ladders. When the ladders were completed, the Japanese pirates attacked again.
There were thirty-nine defenders on the city, and more than three thousand Japanese pirates below the city.
Next.
How to defend this city?!
Considering the ferocity of the Japanese pirates and the huge disparity in the number of enemies and ourselves, we were afraid of the next wave of attacks. As long as the Japanese pirates attacked the city wall, the city wall would be declared to have been lost. If the city wall was lost, Jingnan County would also fall.
It's difficult.
Zhu Pingan looked at the retreating Japanese pirates and couldn't feel relaxed.
"Sir, please drink a bowl of water."
Liu DaDao walked up with his helmet under his elbow and a bowl of water in his hand, handing it to Zhu Pingan.
"Dadao, thank you. Thanks to you today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Zhu Pingan took the bowl, smiled and patted Liu Dadao on the shoulder, thanking him sincerely.
Really, today on the city wall, thanks to Liu Dadao, Liu Daqiang, and Liu Dachui, the government officials and soldiers on the city wall are no match for the Japanese pirates. The ferocious and brave Japanese pirates are like wolves among sheep after climbing up the city wall.
They can easily kill government officials and soldiers one by one. Even when one is against two against three, they are not at a disadvantage and can fight back. Only Liu Dadao and Liu Daqiang are highly skilled and their personal force value exceeds that of the Japanese pirates. If not for Liu Dadao and Liu Daqiang,
Big guns and others were on the city wall to rescue people, killing everyone. The city wall had long been lost. Moreover, Zhu Pingan was a weak scholar, and his physical fitness was much worse than that of the government officials and soldiers. The reason why he was still standing here intact.
, it was also because of the close protection of Liu Dadao, Liu Daqiang and the others. If Liu Dadao, Liu Daqiang and the others had not protected Zhu Pingan, even if Zhu Pingan had nine lives, he would have been sent to the west by the Japanese pirates on the city wall.
"Young Master, why are you so polite to us? If it weren't for Young Master, we would have been dead a long time ago. Now that we are following Young Master, we have become spies and are eating the royal food. This is a great thing for the glory of our ancestors. Besides, Young Master is not one of the civil servants to avoid the sword.
Arrow, regardless of the danger, use the sword to kill the Japanese. As martial arts practitioners, it is our duty to kill the enemy." Liu Dadao smiled innocently, touched the back of his head and shook his head.
"Dadao, are you injured?"
Zhu Ping'an noticed that Liu Dadao raised his arm and touched the back of his head, and there was a large amount of blood on the clothes on his waist, so he couldn't help but asked anxiously.
"No, these are the blood of Japanese pirate cubs."
Liu Dadao shook his head and explained that in order to reassure Zhu Pingan, Liu Dadao opened his clothes and showed Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Pingan was relieved when he saw that Liu Dadao was not injured.
"Look, the Japanese pirates have retreated, but they have not retreated. They have set up camp one mile outside the city."
A cheering government official on the city wall suddenly noticed that the retreating Japanese pirates outside the city had not retreated, but had set up camp a mile outside the city. He couldn't help but sweat dripping from his forehead, and he exclaimed.
His words attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked outside the city.
"Really, shit, the Japanese pirates really haven't retreated. The Japanese pirates have camped under the city. Are they going to attack the city again?!"
"The Japanese pirates didn't retreat?!"
"The Japanese pirates haven't left yet! The Japanese pirates haven't left yet!"
When everyone saw that the Japanese pirates had indeed set up camp a mile below the city, with no intention of retreating, they could not help but panic and sweat profusely.
"Hurry up, some Japanese pirates are cutting down trees and dragging tree trunks to the camp. What are they doing cutting down trees?!"
"Ladder?! Did the Japanese pirates cut down trees to build siege ladders?!!!"
"That's right, look, they put tree trunks side by side, as well as crossbars and siege ladders! The Japanese pirates are really building siege ladders!!!"
"The Japanese pirates are building a siege ladder. What should I do? The Japanese pirates are building a siege ladder. They must be evil-minded and want to attack the city."
"With the siege ladder, it will be much easier for the Japanese pirates to climb the city wall. The Japanese pirates are fierce and there are many, there are still two or three thousand, and we only have more than thirty people left. If the Japanese pirates attack the city again, how can we defend the city?"
ah."
"How can you keep it safe?"
"Hey, there are not enough people on the city wall to hold the Japanese pirates in their teeth. The Japanese pirates can break through the county town with just one charge. God, please, what should I do, what can I do? We are dead, we are dead."
Then, the sharp-eyed people saw the Japanese pirates cutting down trees to build siege ladders, and they couldn't help but become more frightened and screamed in despair.
Soon, people both above and below the city knew that the Japanese pirates were cutting down trees to make siege ladders, preparing for the next wave of siege. Everyone knew that there were only more than thirty government officials and soldiers guarding the city, but there were still two to three thousand Japanese pirates.
As for the people, the Japanese pirates were all ferocious and highly skilled in martial arts. Once the Japanese pirates had the siege ladder, how could the county town be defended?
The county seat cannot be defended!
The county seat cannot be defended!
Jingnan County is filled with such comments.
For a time, an atmosphere of despair swept across Jingnan County once again, and people's desperate cries could not be heard...
