Things were just as Zhu Ping'an expected. After the reinforcements arrived, the Japanese pirates started preparations for the siege in full swing. Aerial ladders were carried to the front, and bumping wood was also moved. Japanese pirate leaders, big and small, rushed back and forth, organizing their teams and selecting.
The Japanese pirates who arrived first spread their armor and stomach on them, and the archers were also gathered together.
The siege of the city is about to begin.
The posture of the more than 20,000 Japanese pirates was very frightening. They were like black clouds covering the city. Except for the Zhejiang Army, the other defenders on the city including Magistrate Shang and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their breathing was almost suffocating.
Several hundred Japanese pirates had just attacked the city, and they were all frightened to death, let alone the more than 20,000 Japanese pirates outside the city.
After experiencing today's fight, they finally understood that the Japanese pirates who attacked the city before were just a joke. When the Japanese pirates attacked the city just now, in order to lower their morale, they also revealed it personally that the Japanese pirates who attacked the city before were not real Japanese pirates.
, they were all ordinary people captured by the Japanese pirates and deliberately came to die. The purpose was to show the enemy's weakness, inflate their self-confidence, and lure them out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates.
As a result, that idiot General Wang really fell into the trap. He went out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates and was captured by the Japanese pirates. In order to survive, he surrendered to the Japanese pirates. He also helped the Japanese pirates to falsely open the city gate and led and protected the Japanese pirates into the city...
Thinking about it now makes me feel chills in my head. I was so close to succeeding in the Japanese pirates' conspiracy.
Fortunately, Master Zhu and the Zhejiang Army's magic soldiers descended from the sky and saved Suzhou City, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.
Oh, talking about General Wang.
At this moment, General Wang is still under the city. Speaking of which, this guy is also a tough guy. He was hit by several muskets at the beginning and fell to the ground. When the Zhejiang army and the Japanese pirates fought for the door, he was trampled on countless times, but he is still alive until now.
He is still alive and even has the strength to shout for help. It is indeed a disaster to live for thousands of years.
"Master Shang, please save me. I am being coerced, I am being forced, and I am loyal to Yuhu."
General Wang was lying on the ground with bleeding from his mouth and nose. He stretched out his hand toward the city wall in a miserable state, calling for help.
"My surname is Wang, you betrayed your king for glory and took refuge with the Japanese pirates, you are in vain as a minister; you led the Japanese to deceive the city and ignored the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city, you are in vain as a son of man; for these two major crimes, you will die a thousand times.
It’s not a pity, you still have the nerve to shout for help, I can’t wait to kill you, a bastard who has no king and no people, and rapes you into pieces!”
When Magistrate Shang heard that General Wang still had the nerve to call for help into the city, he couldn't help but get angry and cursed.
"I was dismissed..." General Wang said shamelessly.
"You can choose to be loyal to His Majesty, so that after you die, your concubines and children will also be rich and powerful; at least after you enter the city, you will have plenty of opportunities to warn the city. Unfortunately, you chose to sell to others for glory. You will have something to enjoy after death, and you will be infamy for thousands of years in the future.
!”
The prefect Shang scoffed at his sophistry.
Seeing that calling for help inside the city was useless, General Wang immediately changed direction and shouted for help to the Hou Kou who were preparing to attack the city.
"King Xu, all heroes, I am your man. I led you. I also helped you deceive the city. And you have heard it, right? After I entered the city, I did not inform the city. I am loyal to you.
Soldiers, please save my life. The defense of Suzhou City is all in my mind. Your Majesty still needs me when attacking the city. I will definitely do your best for you..."
In order to survive, General Wang tried his best to flatter the Japanese pirates and completely gave up all moral integrity.
"It's like buying a horse bone with a thousand pieces of gold, but you still have to save me. Otherwise, how will the generals dare to join your army in the future?"
General Wang shouted again.
After hearing this, Xu Hai was convinced and nodded, yes, the man named Wang is still useful and cannot die yet.
"Go, carry him back, and let the doctor take a look at him. Stop the bleeding that needs to be stopped, and treat the injuries that need to be treated."
Xu Hai ordered his men to carry General Wang back.
"You are extremely shameless. Come here, strengthen your bows and crossbows. Zihou, you also send your magic gunners to target the man named Wang. He is not decent, so we will help him to be decent, so that he will not do more things that will bring shame to our ancestors."
things."
Magistrate Shang ordered angrily.
It is not a pity to die for such a traitor. Zhu Ping'an naturally agreed with 10,000 people and immediately arranged for people to take aim.
Suddenly thousands of arrows were fired. Not only did General Wang die, but even the two Japanese pirates who went to carry him became dead souls under the arrows.
"idiot!"
The Japanese pirates were furious when they saw this, and the crowd was excited.
"The generals are furious. It's a good time to attack the city. Let's order the attack." Maye and Chen Dong looked at Xu Hai.
"Siege the city!"
Xu Hai nodded without hesitation. Although he knew that the siege was doomed to fail, he had to shoot when the arrow was on the string, and the failure of the siege was not entirely a bad thing. At least the blame for the failure of the Suzhou attack could be given to Maye, Chen Dong and the others.
It's better to let the two of them take the blame together than to do it alone.
So, under the command of Xu Hai and others, the Japanese pirate army began to attack the city.
Japanese pirates rushed towards the city wall with ladders. Hundreds of Japanese pirates with huge bodies and round waists carried wooden sticks and rushed towards the city gate. Thousands of Japanese archers shot arrows at the top of the city to cover the Japanese pirates who set up ladders and wooden sticks to attack the city.
"What are you still doing stupidly? Shooting arrows, aiming at the Japanese pirates attacking the city."
"Asshole, why are you hiding? You don't have bows and arrows, so why are you throwing rocks at Japanese pirates?"
"Why haven't the reinforcements from the other city gates arrived yet? Lieutenant General, please quickly send someone to see why the other city gates haven't sent reinforcements yet. With my warrant, I will order them to quickly send troops to support them. If they don't send troops, I will question them."
!”
After the Japanese pirates began to attack the city, there was a panic on the city. Magistrate Shang hurriedly directed the defenders on the city to attack the Japanese pirates. The command was a bit chaotic. He commanded whatever he thought of and there was no order. Zhu Pingan shook his head.
Zhu Ping'an made up for the command loopholes of Shang Zhifu and directed the Zhejiang army to focus on attacking the archers gathered by the Japanese pirates.
Concentrate your firepower and fire thousands of muskets to suppress the Japanese archers.
The Japanese archers caused many casualties to the defenders on the city, which made the defenders shrink back. They also covered the Japanese pirates' ladders to climb the city, bumping against trees and the city gates.
They are the biggest threat to the siege of the city, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, the defenders on the city will not be able to free their hands and feet to attack the Japanese pirates.
The Zhejiang army was located high up and protected by the city wall. Facing the Japanese archers below the city, the advantage was not as great as usual.
bang bang bang
With bursts of smoke-filled firecrackers, the Japanese archers below the city fell one after another. The number of troops was seriously reduced. After a while, nearly 30% of the archers were lost, and the casualties caused by the Japanese archers to the Zhejiang Army were almost zero.
As the Zhejiang army's guns were unleashed, the Japanese archers suffered heavy casualties and were beaten so hard that they could hardly lift their heads.
The pressure on the defenders on the city was immediately reduced, and casualties were greatly reduced.
