As the sun sets over the western mountains, half of the sky turns red, like red ink rendering everything in the world. The city of Suzhou is covered with purple-red glow, and the corpses piled up by Japanese pirates under the city are also covered with purple-red glow...
If there is a painter present, he will be inspired and paint a masterpiece called "Twilight of the Japanese Pirates".
The Japanese pirates did not retreat. They set up camp about a mile outside the city and started busy making dinner.
The camp was in a mess.
The city also began to prepare for dinner. After repelling the Japanese pirates, the merchants in the city spontaneously ate pots of pulp to reward the defenders.
Li Shu, Baozi's maids Hua'er and Qin'er also came, carrying food boxes with fragrant fragrance for miles, waiting for Zhu Ping'an at the foot of the city.
After Zhu Pingan got the news, he quickly walked down the city wall with Liu Dadao. When he saw Li Shu with a big belly, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He quickly stepped forward to hold Li Shu's catkins and said warmly, "It's so far away."
What are you doing here? Just wait at home. Once the Japanese pirates are defeated, I will go home as soon as possible. The Japanese pirates are no longer able to attack the city. If nothing happens, they will retreat either tonight or tomorrow.
"
"There's someone there." Li Shu snorted, her pretty face flushed, but she didn't break away, letting Zhu Ping'an hold her hand.
Zhu Pingan comes from modern times, holding hands in public is nothing to Zhu Pingan, but in ancient times it was a little too much.
Of course, it's not too extreme, it's almost like seeing someone kissing in public on the street in modern times.
Ruonan, the demon girl who followed next to her, was stuffed with a handful of dog food. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes and cursed the man and woman in her heart.
"It's not because your children missed you and kept kicking me in the stomach, so I had no choice but to bring them here." Li Shu said coquettishly with a smile.
"These two little bastards dare to bully my wife. Wait until they come out and see if I don't take care of them and let them know that under the stick, a filial son comes out."
Zhu Pingan said deliberately.
"I hate it." Li Shu's pretty face turned red, like a hibiscus out of water, and she glared hard at Zhu Pingan.
"Okay, you go home. The Japanese pirates haven't retreated yet. I have to go back to the city and keep an eye on them. I will go home when the Japanese pirates retreat."
Since the Japanese pirates hadn't left yet, Zhu Ping'an couldn't stay any longer at the city walls, so he hugged Li Shu and asked them to go back.
Li Shu came out of Zhu Pingan's arms and checked Zhu Pingan carefully up and down. She was relieved after confirming that Zhu Pingan was not injured. However, she still repeatedly told Zhu Pingan to protect herself and not to show off.
"We are waiting for you to come back."
Li Shu waved goodbye to Zhu Ping'an reluctantly. She also knew that these were extraordinary times and the Japanese pirates were still outside the city.
Zhu Ping'an was able to come down to the city to talk to her, which made her very satisfied and relieved.
She is exquisite and clear. If Zhu Pingan can come down to the city to talk to her, it must be that the battle has been won. Otherwise, if the battle situation is dangerous, Zhu Pingan will not and cannot go down to the city to see her.
Coupled with the news in the city that our army had defeated the Japanese pirates, she felt completely relieved.
"Liu Dadao, you must protect Brother Zhu. If Brother Zhu is injured, I won't be able to spare you."
Before leaving, Li Shu gave Liu Dadao a harsh warning.
"Young lady, don't worry. If the young master is missing a hair, the younger one will cut off his head and let the young lady play as a ball."
Liu Dadao patted his chest and promised repeatedly.
"Uncle, you must listen to the young lady and protect yourself well. Don't show off. When you really need to show off, just let Brother Dadao and the others go..." Baozi's little maid did not forget to warn her before leaving.
"One of them can support you a hundred times, and they are more useful than you..." The enchantress Ruonan also added lightly.
Liu Dadao......
Zhu Ping'an, Li Shu and the others waved goodbye and turned to climb up the city wall. Liu Dadao followed closely behind carrying two six-layer food boxes.
Li Shu and the others reluctantly left, looking back three times.
"Hey, Ruonan, why don't you look at your father." On the way back, Baozi's little maid Hua'er suddenly remembered that the demon Ruonan's father was also under the command of her uncle.
"I saw it. My dad waved to me on the city. My dad's martial arts skills are a hundred times better than Zhu Pingan's. Zhu Pingan is fine, so my dad is naturally finer." The enchantress Ruonan withdrew her gaze from Zhu Pingan and said calmly.
said.
Zhu Ping'an returned to the city wall, opened the food box he was carrying, took two plates of food and gave them to Shang Zhifu and other officials for extra meals. He kept one plate for himself and found out that it was braised prawns made by Li Shu herself, and the rest was for himself.
All were given to the Zhejiang army officers and soldiers for sharing.
While I was eating, I heard the sound of footsteps and soldiers talking about the arrival of reinforcements from other city gates.
Zhu Pingan and others looked up and saw several groups of reinforcements trotting over from the south and north of the city wall.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth speechlessly, showing a disdainful arc. The day lilies are already cold, so you guys are here.
"You bastard! Do your calculations for yourselves. How long did it take for me to issue the military order for reinforcements before you arrived too late?"
Seeing the belated arrival of the reinforcements, Shang Zhifu seemed to be suffering from mania. He threw the soup bowl in his hand on the ground and smashed it into pieces. He slapped his head and covered his face with the deputy general who arrived first from the South Gate reinforcements.
curse roundly!
"Where were you when the Japanese pirates pretended to enter the city and attacked the city wall from the city?! Where were you when the Japanese pirate army attacked the city wall outside the city?! The Japanese pirates were repulsed and their banners died down, but you finally came.
late?!"
"What's the use of you coming now?! Are you here to collect my body?! If I had really been waiting for you, I would have been out cold!"
"They say that raising an army lasts for a thousand days, but using it only lasts for a while. You should ask yourselves, I am of no use raising you!"
...
Magistrate Shang cursed for almost ten minutes before he took a sip of water and stopped.
"Ahem, sir, calm down, we..." Nanmen Deputy General just said a word, but was interrupted by the scolding of Shang Zhifu.
"Calm down your anger, how can I calm down my anger! You tell me, how can I calm down my anger! It has been at least an hour and a half since my military order was sent out! Your reinforcements have only arrived after the battle is over!"
Magistrate Shang couldn't help but started scolding again.
"Ahem, sir, please calm down. We also have our own reasons. There are also Japanese pirates attacking the city at the south gate..."
Lieutenant General Nanmen explained.
"Bullshit! I know how many soldiers and horses the Japanese pirates have. They are all in the city! How can they attack the city at your south gate?!"
As soon as Magistrate Shang heard his explanation, he couldn't help but cursed angrily.
"It's true..." Nanmen Lieutenant General explained.
"How many?" Magistrate Shang asked.
"There are many Japanese pirates..." Nanmen's deputy general lacked confidence.
"How much is a lot?" Magistrate Shang asked.
"Thousands of Japanese pirates..." The deputy general of the South Gate murmured for a long time.
"Thousands?!" Zhifu Shang stared.
"There are always hundreds of Japanese pirates..." the Nanmen deputy general said weakly.
Hearing this, Zhifu Shang almost lost his temper and said, "Okay, okay, okay, very good."
