Chapter 1,494: The Japanese come to Yingtian, prepare some small gifts
The sun has set in the west, and in the blood-red afterglow, Nabeshima Naoman and Matsuura Sanbanro led fifty-seven Japanese pirates and walked straight to Yingtian City along the official road in a swaggering manner. They walked extremely leisurely and pointed at the Yingtian Giant not far away.
The city, talking and laughing, does not feel like attacking the city, but like a spring outing.
The Japanese pirates walked leisurely and leisurely, but they could not get up leisurely in Yingtian City. They looked at the Japanese pirates walking leisurely and leisurely outside the city. As if they were facing a formidable enemy, their scalps were numb with fear and nervousness, and their hearts beat faster.
Every time the Japanese pirates took a leisurely step closer to the city, the nervousness and fear of the officials and people in the city increased.
When the Japanese pirates appeared just outside Yingtian City, and their ferocious faces could be seen clearly from the city, the panic in Yingtian City reached its peak.
This group of Japanese pirates is extremely arrogant and terrifying. The leader of the Japanese chieftain is wearing a gorgeous Japanese-style armor, decorated with red texture, and holding a shining Japanese sword. What frightens everyone the most is that the chieftain is still holding his sword.
Holding a bright yellow umbrella and riding a captured war horse, it has a great visual impact.
Dressed in red, riding a horse with a yellow cover!
This is a lot of tricks. Zhang Huanggai is the emperor's support. This group of Japanese pirates invaded Yingtian, and they have already slapped the Ming Dynasty in the face. Now the Japanese pirates have usurped the emperor's support. This is no longer an ordinary slap in the face.
, this is to step on Daming's face and rub it hard again and again! In particular, he also stepped on the face of Emperor Jiajing hard, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
When the officials on the Yingtian City Wall saw the Japanese chieftain's outfit, they all turned pale. They understood that once the current scene was reported to the Emperor Jiajing's case, the Holy Emperor's thunderous wrath would probably double and triple.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses. I am afraid that many of the colleagues present could not keep their hats! Originally, the Japanese invaders invaded Yingtian City, Nanzhili, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials lost a large number of their hats. Now the Japanese chieftains have lost their heads.
For such arrogance, I'm afraid this black gauze hat will lose more than twice as much.
These officials were not deeply touched by how many people the Japanese pirates had harmed. It was just a number, and they could only express a few words of regret and emotion. But now that it was related to their black hats, they felt it deeply.
"Disaster, disaster! Disaster is coming!"
"How dare the Japanese chief insult our Ming Dynasty like this! Such a madman deserves to be cut into pieces! Your Majesty, I am so unworthy of you!"
"The Japanese leader is so arrogant, His Majesty will be furious. What should we do now?! What should we do?!
All the officials present were beating their chests and beating their chests as if they were mourning for their heirs. They were much more nervous and fearful than the ordinary people.
In addition to the Japanese leader, the rest of the Japanese pirates also wore ferocious Japanese armor, holding Japanese swords, tachi and other weapons that shone with cold light and were ferocious. The Japanese pirates' Mediterranean-style hairstyle looked like disheveled hair in hell to the officials and people in the city.
Like evil ghosts, the Japanese pirates held a sword that was almost twice as long as the Ming army's waist sword, and the long bow on their backs was almost as tall as a person. They looked even more ferocious and terrifying, frightening the officials and people on the city wall.
In addition, this group of fierce Japanese pirates also pulled three carriages. The carriages were covered with black linoleum cloth. I don’t know what was covered underneath. While the officials and people on the city wall were frightened, they were also a little curious about what the Japanese pirates were pulling.
."
"What did the Japanese pull? Gunpowder?! Do they want to use gunpowder to blow up the city wall?!"
Someone whispered.
However, people are not very worried about this speculation. Firstly, it is difficult for Japanese pirates to get close to the city wall to blast, and secondly, the power of gunpowder is limited. These three carts of gunpowder seem to be a lot, but they cannot blow up the city wall. Indeed, the power of gunpowder in this era is limited.
, the proportion formula is different from that of modern black powder. The gunpowder formula of this era was also mixed with some cinnabar, poisonous smoke and other messy impurities. The ratio was impure, and the power of the blast was far worse. "
"Could it be that the food the Woko pulled was the food and baggage?"
The people in the city considered this possibility again, wondering whether what the Japanese pirates pulled was their food and baggage. Are the Japanese pirates planning to besiege Yingtian City for a long time?! But they can only fight with about fifty people. Besides, they can only attack Yingtian City with about fifty people.
Yes, the Japanese pirates committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting. They didn't need food, grass, or supplies. If they were hungry, they would just go to surrounding villages and towns to rob. This is what they have always done.
Therefore, people are also skeptical about this speculation.
So what exactly was the Japanese pirate pulling on the carriage?! Everyone on the city wall was in fear and kept guessing.
The answer was soon revealed.
After the Japanese pirates arrived at the city, they drove their carriages and continued moving forward.
"Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows! Don't let the Japanese pirates get close, don't give them a chance to plot any tricks!"
"Fire the arrow!"
Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and several generals shouted almost in unison, ordering the defenders to fire arrows!
swish swish
The Ming troops on the city wall responded by firing arrows.
Immediately, a wave of feather arrows flew down. I can't praise the lack of effect. Only about one-fifth of the feather arrows were at normal levels. The other two-thirds of the feather arrows either shot too close or missed.
It's too outrageous.
The Japanese pirates looked at the Ming army's feathered arrows and laughed. They were not nervous at all, because they had already estimated the distance. They stopped outside the Ming army's arrows. The Ming army's feathered arrows only had one-fifth of the feathers.
The arrows landed two or three meters in front of them, while the others either fell to the ground weakly or missed by a thousand miles.
"Only one-fifth of the feathered arrows are barely passable. Haha, is this the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Forbidden Army?! The level of archery is not much better than that of the county soldiers! It seems that the Ming Dynasty's Forbidden Army is nothing to worry about."
Matsuura Sanbanro roughly counted the number of arrows, twitched his lips, and let out a disdainful laugh.
"Haha, this trip to Yingtian was not in vain. The Ming Dynasty Forbidden Army is just like this. Most of them are incompetent people. From now on, Your Highness can rest assured and come with all the troops." Nabeshima Naoman also laughed along with him.
.
"The Ming Dynasty's official army is not a concern, but the Ming Dynasty's city is really tall. Such a huge city is really an eye-opener for me. I once went to Shangjing with my family governor, but Shangjing is far inferior to this."
Matsuura Sanbanro looked at Ying Tiancheng and said with emotion.
"Haha, no matter how tall the city is, it will be captured one day. It is no exception. Let us try this time." Nabeshima Naoman licked his lips, turned to wave to the Japanese pirates driving the car, and ordered, "Give the gift to
To Akito."
Several Japanese pirates who were driving the cart shouted loudly, slapped the horse's butt hard, drove the horse forward, and at the same time, forcefully opened the linoleum.
"Hahaha, Mingren, we have come a long way, so we have to prepare some small gifts, but it is not respectful, and we still ask you to do the work with a smile."
Nabeshima Naoji laughed loudly and shouted loudly to the officials and people in Tiancheng. His laughter was extremely ferocious and terrifying.
After being patted on the horse's butt, he ran forward in fright. The linoleum was uncovered by the Japanese pirates again, and the contents of the carriage were immediately reflected in the eyes of the officials and people in Yingtian City.
"Ah?! A human head, a human head!"
"Oh my god, they are all human heads. I'm scared to death."
"ah!!!!!"
When everyone on the city wall saw three carts full of heads, they screamed uncontrollably. Their panic was doubled! Many timid officials and citizens were so frightened that they peed their pants. There was even a weak official who was so frightened that he lost his temper.
He rolled his eyes and passed out. The people around him slapped him and pinched him again. After some operations, he was rescued. However, the atmosphere of panic increased sharply again, and it spread across the city in an instant like a plague.
