Xiao Xian always thinks he is unique.

It is indeed unique. The Japanese pirate leaders on the southeast coast are basically all from maritime businessmen. The early Xu Dong and Li Bantou, later Wang Zhi, Mao Haifeng, Lin Bichuan, and Ye Zongman are all like this.

But Xiao Xian is not. He is a military family and comes from Chuzhou Guard. Many years ago, he was imprisoned for fighting and killing people in the street. When Japanese pirates happened to attack, he took the opportunity to escape to the sea and became a pirate.

Since the destruction of Ligang, Xiao Xian has the idea of ​​coming to Songjiang to make a fortune. There is no way. Now Zhejiang has heavy troops to guard, so it is easy for others to say that those wolf clay soldiers fight more than those stubborn Japanese.

But Xiao Xiangang took his men to sea, and Yu Dayou caught up from behind. After a battle, several ships were burned down, and then he was defeated by Yu Dayou in Sichuan.

Xiao Xian had no intention of not being dissatisfied. First, he came to seek wealth instead of conquering cities and territory, and second, Yu Dayou was too famous and was recognized as the number one general of the Ming Dynasty south of the Yangtze River.

Okay, I can't afford to offend you, so Xiao Xian set his sights on Taicang.

First, he successfully attacked Liujiagang, and then set up an ambush on the road and wiped out the Taicang Guards' forces led by the deputy envoy of the Taicang Army and Preparation Road. Xiao Xian felt that Jiading City was already in his pocket.

But unexpectedly, the results of the battle on the first day were pretty good, but the next day from morning to evening, Jiading City's resistance became stronger and stronger. Although it rushed to the top of the city, it was quickly driven down.

In a small village several miles away from Jiading City, Xiao Xian gnawed a hard steamed bun, thinking in his mind whether to simply retreat and pull the troops down. There is Yu Dayou in Songjiang and Lu Tong in Jiaxing Prefecture. If it really doesn't work, you can go to Tongzhou. Although there is a little poor there, the troops are weak.

Xiao Xian wanted to retreat because the Ming army with extraordinary combat power in the city was not large in number but well-equipped. They drove them off when they attacked the city twice during the day.

Xiao Xian was a little depressed, why are there hard bones everywhere!

At this moment, a good news came.

"Brother, really, it is said that it is the Minister of Rites!" His subordinates flew with their hands on their hips, their eyes full of greed, "Master, then it's just a ransom..."

There are many reasons why Japanese pirates later swept half of the Jiangnan region, but one of the important reasons for their large scale is that a large number of rogues who do not engage in production, bankrupt farmers, and fishermen join the ranks of Japanese pirates.

There is no obvious ownership within the Japanese pirates, and the upper and lower divisions are divided. The expansion of power depends largely on the reputation of the Japanese pirate leader.

So Xiao Xian was moved. If he could capture or kill the Minister of Rites alive in Jiading City, his fame would be able to catch up with Wang Zhi. At that time... some would be the younger brothers who were worshipped by Na Tou.

Xiao Xian made up his mind to continue attacking the city, not to mention that he had a killer weapon that he had not taken out.

...

It was the fourth day that the Japanese pirates attacked the city. The township warriors and soldiers on the front of the city were very tired, but they had no complaints.

The reason is very simple. Qian Yuan and Lu Bin, who actually took over the city defense since the first afternoon, have never been downstairs, and even spent the night at night.

Coupled with the generous bounty and the daily meat-eating meals, the morale of the defenders in the city is quite strong.

Qian Yuan really wanted to go down and rest, but he was really worried. Although he had no experience in ancient wars and did not know any military tactics, he also clearly discovered Lu Bin's youthful arrangement of troops.

A few days ago, Lu Bin, as usual, organized all his personal soldiers and township heroes to mix up and arrange them at the city gate. Qian Yuan insisted on drawing nearly twenty soldiers as reserve teams.

As a result, the Japanese pirates rushed to the not-so-high city wall. If Yang Wen hadn't brought the Qian family's guards and the twenty soldiers to block them, Jiading would have been almost done.

Standing at the top of the city, watching Lu Bin command the Ming army to repel another wave of attacks from the Japanese pirates, Qian Yuan praised: "Only practical combat can temper people."

That's true. In just three or four days, Lu Bin's command began to calmly become calm. At the critical moment, he was still a little naughty and rushed forward with his waist knife to chop people up.

Of course, Lu Bin is a novice at such a scale, and Xiao Xian on the opposite side is also a novice, which is half a pound.

In the past few days, Qian Yuan also realized that he did not have the so-called talent, he did not have enough sensitivity to loopholes and weaknesses in the battle formation, and managing logistics and dealing with those numbers is his strength.

However, Yang Wen has talent in this area and has become Lu Bin's deputy in a few days.

However, this is also in line with Qian Yuan's wishes. It is not a good enjoyment to fight to the death. You must know that in this era, colds may die.

Moreover, the standard weapons in the hands of the Japanese pirates on the other side were probably obtained from the Liujiagang defenders, and most of the weapons were rusted. The township man, who was poked into his arm by a rusted iron spear on the first day, looked not seriously injured, but it is no longer possible now... Qian Yuan knew that it was tetanus.

"It's almost done, there are not enough people to continue." Zheng Ruozeng whispered: "Captain Wu is also ready."

"Yeah, it's time to start." Qian Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zheng, do you think... will we die here?"

Zheng Ruozeng pursed his lips for a long time and didn't say anything. The Japanese pirates actually did not surround Jiading to death, but there is no news of reinforcements until now. It depends on Jiading County itself. If it is not possible... I am afraid that the city will be destroyed in these few days.

Suddenly, an angry roar sounded not far away, and the Ming army, who were all over the wall, started to clamor.

Qian Yuan looked over and saw that, not far from the city, seven or eight Japanese pirates drove over a dozen people. Under the sword, the people fell to the ground crying and howling.

Zheng Ruo once cursed the beast, although those thieves were Japanese pirates, they were all Ming people and not real Japanese people.

"You can't leave the city!" Yang Wen held the gun tightly, and his vaginal face was twisted.

The Wang family guards bent their bows and arrows next to them, but the Japanese pirates had already figured out his range, and the bows and arrows fell weakly about ten steps away from the Japanese pirates.

Qian Yuan rubbed his nose hard, which was his habitual movement when he was extremely angry, but soon his hands stopped.

There was a quietness on the wall, and only a vague sound of grinding teeth could be heard.

It seems like I have heard of similar things somewhere before... Qian Yuan was a little dazed, as if he was in a history class in his previous life, or perhaps in a war memoir...

The ball of things that were picked up by the sharp wooden stick was still squirming slightly, accompanied by the arrogant and crazy laughter of the Japanese pirates, and soon, the ball of things became quiet...

In this quiet area, a wolf smoke rose in Jiading City, with a strange pink color in the smoke.

Xiao Xian, who looked at Jiading City from afar, nodded with satisfaction. It has been five days since he finally saw hope.
