Xu Hai shouted loudly, and the Japanese pirates occupying the city gate rushed out shouting. At this time, the city gate was completely opened. More than 400 Japanese pirates quickly filed out of the city, waving Japanese swords and rushed towards the city.
The Zhejiang army, which was less than twenty meters away from the gate, and the Japanese pirates outside the city attacked the Zhejiang army from front to back.
This group of Japanese pirates was a fresh force. They also snatched a lot of spears from the city. They had rich combat experience. Before rushing to the Zhejiang Army's formation, they first threw their spears at the Zhejiang Army's formation with all their strength.
At one time, at least hundreds of spears roared from the sky and fell into the Zhejiang army's formation.
The lethality of a spear is different from that of an arrow. It has both sharp and blunt blows. Even if it cannot penetrate armor, the huge impact can still cause internal injuries.
The Zhejiang Army's cotton armor can protect the Zhejiang Army soldiers from sharp blows, but it is powerless against blunt blows.
In an instant, three people from the Zhejiang army were killed. All three of them were stabbed in the face with spears that were not covered by cotton armor.
Dozens more people were stabbed by spears, and the cotton armor protected them. Although the spears failed to pierce the cotton armor, the huge impact also caused serious injuries to them. Many people had blood in their stomachs, and they were obviously injured.
Minor internal injuries.
Zhu Pingan was also almost stabbed by a spear, but Liu Mu and Liu Dadao used their shields to protect Zhu Pingan in time.
"Hahaha, well done! My sons, victory is destined to be ours, and Suzhou City is destined to be ours!"
Xu Hai saw the Japanese pirates rushing out of the city and making great achievements. Even Zhu Ping'an was almost stabbed by a spear. He was so embarrassed that he couldn't help laughing, and saw the dawn of victory in his eyes.
Although the development of the war was out of my control, things are getting back on track!
Victory is destined to belong to him, and the future is also destined to belong to him. A smile bloomed on Xu Hai's face, and his eyes were full of dawn.
In the Zhejiang army formation, Zhu Ping'an, who was almost stabbed by a spear, also had a smile on his face. It was a good thing for the Japanese pirates to rush out of the city gate. If they huddled inside the city gate and defended the city, it would be in trouble.
The city gate is only more than three meters wide, and the narrow gate opening is not conducive to the deployment of troops and horses, and is not conducive to exerting the advantage of military strength.
It will be much easier to deal with them when they rush out, and when they rush out, there will be no one at the city gate.
According to time estimates, reinforcements should have arrived. Before he led the Zhejiang army to the east gate to warn, he passed by the south gate and shouted at the south gate. If the south gate guard was not a stupid pig, he would definitely send troops to the east gate.
Support. Regardless of whether he believed his warning or not, he would send troops to the east gate to support him out of caution.
Of course, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
On the one hand, Zhu Ping'an commanded the Zhejiang army to change into the "non" formation to deal with the front and rear attacks of the Japanese pirates, and bite the two groups of Japanese pirates. On the other hand, Zhu Pingan secretly ordered Liu Dadao to lead a hundred soldiers. After hearing his order, he quickly left the formation.
, occupy the city gate.
The fighting outside the city was fierce, and the civil war inside the city was also fierce.
The Japanese pirates were brave and brave. Although their numbers were small, they fought against the Ming army pressing on the city wall, causing heavy casualties to the Ming army.
However, the Ming army at the top of the city had a strength advantage, and with the heavy reward from the prefect Shang, the Ming army still resisted.
The Japanese pirates in the city once rushed to the top of the city, but each time the prefect Shang promptly rewarded them heavily to stimulate the Ming army to counterattack.
Rivers of blood flowed on the stone steps at the top of the city. The prefect Shang on the top of the city looked at the tragic battlefield, his arms and legs were shaking, and his heart was in his throat. Every minute and every second, he was worried about the brave Japanese pirates below the city rushing to the city.
Come on.
Fortunately, when they heard that the Ming army at the top of the city was paying attention to the battle between the Zhejiang army and the Japanese pirates below, they suddenly cheered.
"What's wrong?" Magistrate Shang asked quickly.
"The Zhejiang Army occupied the city gate again. The Japanese pirates guarding the city gate went out to attack the Zhejiang Army. When the battle was fierce, more than a hundred elite soldiers from the Zhejiang Army suddenly rushed out of the formation and reoccupied the city gate with lightning speed.
"
The Ming army who was responsible for monitoring the battle situation below the city reported excitedly.
"Okay, okay..." Magistrate Shang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The Zhejiang army had reoccupied the city gate, and the safety of Suzhou City was guaranteed.
Magistrate Shang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a panicked scream from the Ming army at the top of the city.
"No, no, no, a large number of Japanese pirates have appeared outside the east gate, less than five miles away from the city gate..."
The Ming army at the top of the city screamed in panic, which almost made Zhifu Shang, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, almost collapse to the ground. He was helped by his guards in time.
damn it!
How come the Japanese reinforcements came so quickly! There was only less than five miles away. Doesn’t it mean that the Japanese reinforcements rushed to the city gate in less than a stick of incense?
The Zhejiang army was just a small team of a hundred people who occupied the city gate, and was still being fought by six to seven hundred Japanese pirates...
Once the Japanese reinforcements arrive, won't the city gate change hands in an instant?
no doubt!
Damn it! Why did the Japanese reinforcements arrive so quickly, and why haven’t our reinforcements arrived yet! In terms of distance, the south gate, north gate, and northwest gate of the city are closer, so our reinforcements should have arrived first!
Damn it!
These losers!
When this war is over, I will definitely give you a good reckoning, but do you still have a chance to settle your scores?!
Shang Zhifu sighed heavily, how can he hold the city of Suzhou after death? Zhifu Shang thought hard, and then he could only think of one way. At this time, unless Zihou was not afraid of sacrifice, he ordered the hundreds of Zhejiang troops occupying the city gate to quickly
Close the city gate quickly...
But is Zihou willing?
Even if Zi Hou was willing, there were still hundreds of Japanese pirates attacking the city, and they would not sit back and watch a hundred-man Zhejiang army team close the city gate.
Hateful, annoying, regretful!
Why did Zihou not listen to Zihou's words and deal with General Wang and the Japanese pirates who entered the city early when he led the Zhejiang army to warn "General Wang surrendered to the Japanese and Japanese pirates entered the city from the east gate"?!
If you had listened to Zihou's words, why would you have done this? Magistrate Shang was so regretful that his intestines were green.
While Magistrate Shang was filled with regrets, traces of Japanese pirates in the distance were also noticed outside the city.
"Hahahaha, sons and daughters, have you seen it? Our reinforcements are coming. Work harder. Victory belongs to us! Suzhou City belongs to us!"
Xu Hai laughed out loud when he saw the reinforcements in the distance, and the haze of the city gate occupied by the Zhejiang Army's elite squad was swept away.
When the Japanese pirates heard this and saw the reinforcements in the distance, their morale was immediately boosted. They all became excited, as if they had been given blood, and they roared and attacked the Zhejiang army's formation.
Zhu Ping'an saw the traces of Japanese pirate reinforcements in the distance and smiled helplessly. This was really unexpected.
Unexpectedly, it was the Japanese pirates' reinforcements that showed up first. The distance inside the city was obviously closer, but there was no sign of the reinforcements in the city, and there was also the South Gate... He led the Zhejiang army to the South Gate to shout a warning first. If the South Gate guard hadn't been
Stupid pig, it’s time for reinforcements to arrive...
But I didn't expect that the South Gate guard was really a stupid pig and his reaction was too slow.
