Under the pitch-black night sky, the Ming Dynasty troops surrounding Guzhichuan Castle suddenly became confused as to what they were doing, and sparks arose in the formation.
Captain Buqi had already left the city wall angrily, summoned the squadron leaders, and went to deploy the next step of defensive operations.
The two team captains responsible for the defense of the city wall huddled together, lying on the crenellations of the city wall, quietly sizing up the surrounding troops.
"Until now, we don't know who the other party is. They are so close but don't attack the city. What do they want to do?" one person said.
"Isn't it a good thing not to attack the city? Maybe they are troops sent by the king to test the defense of our Gushichuan Castle." Another person said with luck.
"What you said makes sense to me. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to besiege but not attack. The captain is also serious. He will kill people with his sword if he behaves well. If this continues, all the soldiers will not be able to escape without being killed by him.
"
"No. When I asked the archers to shoot just now, I saw many people shooting randomly with their eyes closed. When I saw them like this, I didn't bother to say anything. They were all soldiers. They escaped with their lives in the face of the innocent slaughter of their superiors.
Who would have the heart to actually shoot him?"
"The same goes for the archers in our team."
After saying that, the two of them sighed in unison.
In the center of the city, across from Captain Buqi, seven or eight men stood respectfully, each of them being the squadron leader of the First Brigade.
"Have you all seen the troops outside?" Buqi shouted as he stared at the crowd.
"I saw it." Everyone lowered their heads and replied in a low voice.
"What should I do? What do you think we should do?"
"They surrounded us but refused to attack. Could it be that the king sent someone to test our defense?" a squadron leader whispered.
"Fart, your Majesty is so full that you are still testing our defense?" Buqi yelled at the other party angrily, "Just now, someone reported that the beach was missed. Has the person sent to confirm the news come back?"
"Go back to the captain, there are troops outside, and the people sent out have not returned." One person said hurriedly.
"The army of the Ming Dynasty, if these are really the army of the Ming Dynasty, why do they only defend but not attack? In the future, for such news, send people to verify it quickly, and what is the use of reporting it to me in a hurry?"
"yes."
"Send people out to continue the investigation, and at the same time be on full alert and enter combat mode." Bu Qi said.
On the city wall, two team captains noticed something strange about the army outside.
"Hey, why are there suddenly so many sparks in the queue?" one person said.
"That's right, there's more than one place. You see, these armies seem to be in this situation at the same time. What are they doing, using fire folds to keep warm?"
"What time is it now? Do you need to keep warm? However, if they are not keeping warm, what are they doing all of a sudden?"
While he was talking, there was a "bang bang bang" sound of a hard bow string firing arrows.
In an instant, this sound spread to the entire peripheral army, and suddenly turned into a "rumbling" sound like thunder.
Before the two of them could react, one after another "red threads" drew gorgeous arcs in the sky and flew towards the city wall.
"What is this?" The two of them were surprised. A "red line" crossed the crenel and fell behind them.
With a "bang" sound, a burst of bright sparks burst out.
The two hurriedly stepped forward.
It turned out to be an arrow that hit the hard stone ground.
Half of the entire arrow had been inserted into the city wall, leaving only the other half shaking violently outside.
But, why are these arrows different from the arrows used by my own army?
A two-inch long stick-like object was tied to it, making a "chichi" sound, spraying sparks, and smoking.
"What is this?" The two of them were very surprised and wanted to step forward to take a closer look.
"boom."
A huge explosion sound was heard, and the arrow exploded instantly.
Flames more than ten feet high illuminated the city wall like daylight.
The two of them felt their eyes light up, and the air was instantly hot. Then their brains went blank and they no longer had any consciousness.
The soldiers on the side saw that at the moment the fire appeared, the ground on the city wall was exploded. At the same time, the bodies of the two teams were lifted ten feet away like kites.
"There is an attack." The soldier reacted immediately and shouted loudly.
But his voice was completely covered up by the sound of explosions one after another.
In an instant, countless gunpowder arrows landed on the city wall.
While blowing up the ground, it also ignited the materials accumulated on the city wall.
The raging fire is like a large square circle, "refining" Gushichuan Castle.
One after another, gunpowder arrows crossed the city wall and landed on the army fortifications below the city wall.
"Bang bang bang."
As the explosion sounded, there was also a sea of fire under the city wall.
Under the city wall, the hundreds of soldiers who were originally guarding the city gate had turned into burning men, with many casualties.
Some soldiers who didn't have time to escape let out heart-rending screams.
"Ah, help."
"Run away from the fire."
"My leg is broken and I'm afraid I'm going to die. Please help me take care of my family."
"My wife, my child."
"..."
The miserable cries of the soldiers sounded out, but it had no effect.
Flames enveloped the city walls.
On the city wall, soldiers fled one after another, but the flames spread extremely quickly.
Soon, it spread to their feet.
This time, they have no way out.
"Get out of the sea of fire, get out of the place where supplies are stored." Someone roared loudly and rushed towards the iron guardrail at the entrance of the stairs.
Behind him were some other soldiers.
But they had just approached the guardrail, and it was as if they had bumped into a hard iron block.
There was a bang, and a plume of black smoke came out of everyone's heads.
Then, there was a crackling sound.
The flames quickly engulfed them.
The iron guardrails have already been burned red, and anything that comes close to them will instantly turn to ashes in the high temperature.
Soon, these flames turned into torches.
The entire city was completely engulfed in flames.
On the city wall, the soldiers who were still alive jumped off the city wall and escaped.
Then he ran towards the outside of the city.
These soldiers have the character of soldiers.
Even if he dies, he will drag these troops besieging the city with him.
But even though they ran far away, they still couldn't escape the flames behind them.
The tongues of fire licked their clothes, and soon each soldier turned into a corpse.
The whole city fell into chaos.
And on the city wall, there are still the last soldiers left.
They all stood in place, not moving.
Because they know that escaping is completely futile.
This place has become a city of fire and a city of death.
They lost this battle.
They are unwilling to do so.
They still want to live.
They want to go home, they don't want to die.
Their eyes were all full of longing and despair.
They want to go home.
The flames under the city wall soon spread to some private houses.
The people dragging their families with them ran towards the street, shouting loudly.
The situation that occurred at this moment also panicked Captain Buqi in the house in the center of the city.
Waving the Japanese sword in his hand, he shouted loudly at the people in front of him: "Go quickly and organize a team to resist the opponent's attack."
At this moment, Buqi completely believed that the news sent by his subordinates was true.
This is the army of the Ming Dynasty. Only the army of the Ming Dynasty possesses such explosive attack weapons.
They came to take revenge, to take revenge for Ryukyu Kingdom’s intrusion on their people.
Zhu Gaochi, who was halfway up the mountain, quietly looked at the burning Guzhichuan City, frowning slightly.
There are still people in the city. Will these fires burn them?
"Your Highness, go in and rest, we will attack the city tomorrow." Understanding what the other party was thinking at the moment, Xiao Chen persuaded with a smile.
"Oh, okay." Zhu Gaochi turned around and prepared to walk into the camp.
When he arrived at the door, he couldn't help but turn around again and looked at Gu Shichuan Castle, which was like hell at the moment.
"Don't look at it, these are the same enemies as the Japanese pirates who invaded the people of Ming Dynasty."
Xiao Chen's cold, emotionless voice came from behind.
