Chapter 43: The Fall of Nanyuan (2)

"Shaking thunder!"

The experienced old Japanese pirate immediately screamed.

The sudden burst of movement frightened the heart of the young samurai who was participating in the war for the first time, because this thing was more powerful than an iron cannon.

Before they could react, Lu Li, who was well aware of the range, power and trajectory of the shot, immediately stuffed the last thunderbolt in his hand into the gun.

As expected, the center point of this explosion was near the Japanese. They either took off on the spot, or their internal organs were shattered by the shock.

Several Japanese pirates had sharp objects penetrated into their abdomens, and they screamed and stuffed their intestines into their stomachs.

"The power is still lacking..."

Seeing that there were still nearly thirty Japanese retreating hastily, Lu Li was not satisfied.

But the three hundred defenders around them all breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried that the Japanese, who were angered a second time, would order a full-scale attack.

This little person...

Even if only 40,000 of the 50,000 Japanese troops fought on foot, there were still 10,000 people assigned to various city gates. Facing such a large number of enemies, they simply could not defend themselves. Even repelling an invasion could be considered a victory.

After all, there are not many weapons like Zhentian Lei. Only 5,000 or 6,000 were produced in the entire peninsula. Nanyuan was allocated about 700, which seemed like a lot, and the results of the battle just achieved were also very gratifying.

But the premise is that Japanese army masters will not go to war.

"The bandits will definitely not give up. There is a high probability that they will launch a night attack at night. You and your brothers will bury the iron in the ditch."

"You go and notify the other three gates to be wary of Japanese sneak attacks at night. The general must sit on the bridge at night."

Outside Nanyuan, there is a moat.

It is about ten miles wide and is not connected to external water sources. There is a suspension bridge connected to the city gate above.

At present, the enemy has not launched a large-scale attack, and the bridge has not been closed.

If the Japanese army launches a sudden attack and there is no time to put it away, they can also use firearms to blow it up.

After hearing the general's order, all the ministries acted according to the order and prepared for the first city defense battle that might break out late at night.

Lu Li carried a dragon-patterned wild goose feather sword on his waist, and held a multifunctional three-eyed fire gun that could be used for both long-distance and close-range attacks, and began to patrol the city.

The black-maned horse ignored the strange looks from others and carried its owner around the city, muttering:

"Boss, do you think I still have a chance?"

"what chance."

"Hey, I'll make a Japanese name myself."

"Can."

Although it hurts to say this, the fact is that with a little care from Lu Li, the black-maned horse could eat the cake, but Tang Chuan, who led three thousand militiamen to guard the north gate, couldn't even chew the cake.

Therefore, Lu Li deliberately went to the north gate first.

There was a lot of chaos here, and there were many people, but they were no more than paper tigers. In desperation, two of the three general cannons brought from the Ming Dynasty were sent over.

In order to prevent the group of militiamen from doing anything bad, Lu Li specially asked the personal guards who were mixed in to guard the left and right sides, and only obeyed Tang Chuan's orders.

In this regard, both the military envoy Li Funan and the deputy general Jin Jinglao had nothing to say. After all, Tang Chuan was now known as Pu Zhenghuan and was also from the Li Dynasty. The two general cannons were transferred to him, which clearly showed his respect for the Li Dynasty!

As for why it was guarded by Ming soldiers, Li Funan and Jin Jinglao also knew that some of their own people were not determined and could easily rebel and surrender to the enemy.

The south gate guarded by General Qian Chuan also received a general cannon to consolidate its strength.

The west gate, which is guarded by demons, is guarded by a bull demon and several big demons. Its stability is second only to the east gate.

Everyone knew that with Lu Li at the east gate, the three hundred cavalrymen would definitely be able to defend it, at least it would fall later than the other three gates.

Branches above the moon.

Just as Lu Li had predicted, just as expected, at the second watch, three warriors sneaked towards the suspension bridge.

However, as soon as they got close to the suspension bridge, they were hit by nail boards that had been buried in advance. Immediately, seven or eight more good guys hiding in the moat jumped out and chopped them into pieces.

"Close the bridge."

Without using magical powers, Lu Li knew that there was a Japanese army behind these three guys just based on his past combat experience.

This scene happened in the other three gates almost at the same time, and all the defenders saw through this clumsy trick.

The closing speed of each bridge is faster than the last one.

The bull demon at the south gate turned into a semi-human form and directly held the rope with one hand to pull up the suspension bridge, which weighed more than a thousand pounds.

Immediately afterwards, Japanese troops from all sides lit torches and rushed over. Seeing that the suspension bridge was put away and the road ahead was cut off, they could only make noise all night and light fires wantonly around the city. The noise was so loud that fireworks could be seen rising into the sky for thousands of miles.

scene.

However, Lu Li thought it was too childish.

Where are the generals in charge of the army?

Although we have to despise the island nation's animals in terms of personality and soul, we must admit that there are many powerful enemies among them. As long as there are generals who stand up, it will never be so easy at night.

Test?

Show weakness to the enemy?

Or, a combination of both.

Anyway, half of the nervous people in Nanyuan City had a good sleep at dawn, and after they finished eating dry food and drinking water at noon, the other half took a rest.

When it gets dark again and everyone braces themselves for a fierce battle, the Japanese story repeats itself.

All four gates were harassed to varying degrees, ranging from over a hundred people to over three hundred people. The leader was a little bit more impressive, but only a little.

There was no need for Lu Li to take action at the east gate. An official from a hundred households came out and killed him after thirty rounds of fighting.

In the morning, the aroma of mutton soup filled the whole city.

In any case, two days passed and Lu Li personally ordered a reward for the entire army.

With the wind, the aroma of meat also drifted to the noses of the Japanese scouts.

noon.

The monkey started to get serious. The old guy concluded that there were not many coalition forces in the city, so he swaggered to build siege equipment outside the city, and also transported a large amount of grass, grain, wood and rocks, all of which were piled near Dawu Spring to fill up the trench.

At first, Lu Li ordered to bombard with the General's Cannon.

Facts have proved that this kind of artifact of the Ming Dynasty was indeed effective, and the Japanese did not dare to build it with great fanfare.

However, in order to save the cannonballs and save them for use in official battles, Lu Li stopped this behavior.

The third night.

The offensive and defensive battle officially kicked off.

The first one to be attacked was Nancheng. Because the outside of the city was once a place where people lived together, even if the walls were fortified and the fields were cleared, the remaining ruins still became a bunker for the Japanese, causing casualties to the soldiers who defended the city.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan ordered in time to use the general's cannon in conjunction with the Thunder Thunder to blow up all the bunkers where the Japanese were located and bury them.

Otherwise, Nancheng is likely to become the focus of the next attack.

And Dongcheng became the new focus.

The Japanese bandits built high sheds outside the east gate city, which were higher than the city wall. The shooters stood on them and shot into the city.

Three hundred soldiers tried to attack with firecrackers, but the number was limited and it was difficult to suppress them.

But Lu Li didn't want to sit back and watch, he immediately used the magic of heaven and earth to slap him...
