The continuous heavy rain gave Tieshan City enough time to complete their defense, but the rain could not keep falling like this, and since Pyongyang City's army had left the city, they would one day arrive at Tieshan City.
Everyone in Tieshan City knows this.
Three days later, the continuous heavy rain suddenly stopped, and the sun appeared in the sky almost without warning. If it weren't for the moist water vapor everywhere, it would even give people the illusion that the sun was shining in the sky a few days ago.
The rain actually happened a long time ago.
Only the mud underground makes all people get rid of all this illusion. The sun can appear suddenly, but the mud underground cannot disappear in a moment. Those iron caltrops and even sharp thorns buried underground in advance will
The corners were submerged in mud. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell that the mud was filled with such deadly things.
A whole day later, an army almost covered with mud appeared in the sight of the Tieshan City defenders from a distance. Seeing these enemies walking hard in the mud, even the Tieshan City defenders couldn't bear it.
I feel sorry for them. Didn't these guys roll all the way from Pyongyang? From a distance, they don't look like an army. They are just like the mud figurines that were just dug out of the tomb.
"This time, everyone must kill at least one barbarian and get their head!"
Kogoro on the city wall turned his head and showed a fierce expression on his team's face: "The bounty is certainly very important, but the warriors of Kyushu should have a further perspective. You all know what the legion commander said yesterday.
Well, we have reinforcements, many, many reinforcements. Everyone, this is North Korea, so everyone should know who the reinforcements are!"
"The legion commander and deputy legion commander are both from the Ming Dynasty..."
Someone said softly below, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Military merit, battle merit will allow us to not only exchange for bounties, but also enter the Ming Dynasty's army!" Kogoro's face was very solemn: "If you can't return home in glory, then become a samurai in the Ming Dynasty's army.
Instead of being a ronin who doesn’t know when and where he will die, you should know what to do in your heart!"
The Japanese in the team had bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes. Kogoro's words touched their hearts. They were either criminals who could not survive on Kyushu Island, or they were dependent families who failed in their struggle for power and escaped.
After coming out, it is definitely a luxury to return to their hometown. If they really rely on the military exploits of the legion to obtain the status of a warrior, even if it is the status of a Ming warrior, they will not hesitate to fight to the death to kill the enemy.
No one wants to die silently in the gutter one day like a wild dog.
"We shouldn't have a share in the first day's battle!" Kogoro was very satisfied with the fighting spirit shown by his subordinates: "After the battle started, according to my prior arrangement, we separated in groups of three and waited for the enemy to advance.
Start sniping behind the city!"
In the middle of the city wall, the commanders of the entire legion gathered together. Even though they pulled almost everyone in the legion up the city wall to increase their momentum, compared with the yellow human figurines on the opposite side, the city's
The strength on his head still seems a little weak.
Thirty or forty firearms have been taken out from the hands of the mercenaries and started to be loaded with gunpowder in preparation for battle.
This is already all the firearms in the entire mercenary group, and most of them are short-fire blunderbuss, and there are less than ten long-fire blunderbuss. Mei Xiaofei's order to them is that the enemy is not allowed to fire unless they are within range, and
Once the enemy attacks in a large scale, they can retreat after using up all the pellets and gunpowder in their firearms.
There were also a few crossbows mixed in with these firearms, but compared to the number of firearms, the number of crossbows was even more pitiful. Except for these guys who used crossbows, almost everyone ignored these guys.
Therefore, Tieshan City's defense is actually a paper tiger that can be pierced with one poke.
Mei Xiaofei pulled everyone up to the city wall. In fact, he expected that when the enemy saw the few defenders on the wall, they would immediately charge and attack the city. In this case, the iron caltrops on the ground would be able to play their greatest role.
.
The mud figurines stopped about a mile away from the city wall. Some sat down in the mud and did not get up, while others scattered around, looking for something.
Tang Ruowang raised the telescope in his hand and searched for traces of their generals among the enemies. Unfortunately, wherever he looked, they were all the color of earth. He really couldn't tell the difference between the service and appearance of the other party.
The enemy's flag. From the beginning to now, no one on the city has seen the enemy's flag.
He handed the telescope in his hand to Mei Xiaofei, who looked at it for a while and felt a little strange.
"They are not planning to set up camp. In their eyes, does this Iron Mountain City still take a long time to conquer?"
"Camp in such mud...?" Tang Ruowang looked strange: "If you want to camp, you will also find a higher ground to prepare for another heavy rain..."
Geng Zongming also took a telescope and looked at it. He touched his chin and pondered: "It doesn't look like they are going to attack the city immediately. Could it be that they are waiting for the Tatar generals and they dare not make the decision without permission?"
!”
Although the faces of the people opposite were all earthy, they had not seen a few horses so far, and Geng Zhongming knew very well that the Tatars without horses were nothing to be afraid of.
Time passed slowly. The sun was shining brightly under Tieshan City, but there was a strange atmosphere everywhere. The people on the top of the city were fully alert to the enemies below, but the enemies below seemed to have arrived.
The market goers looked like they had arrived at their destination and had a good rest.
Thousands of people went their own way noisily. Some found trees to cut down and tried to set up tents; some washed their bodies with muddy water that was not much cleaner than their own bodies from the puddles stored underground.
Someone didn't know what was going on. A group of people gathered together and started fighting with each other.
Seeing this situation, everyone on the city was stunned.
"Shen Fuyin, is this really an army coming from Pyongyang to conquer us? Are you sure this is not a team of refugees?"
Mei Xiaofei felt that his three views had been greatly challenged. This was not an army. It couldn't even see basic organization and discipline. Even the refugee army under Yan'an City who filled the moat with their lives was worse than what he saw.
These guys are more like an army.
"I just told you that the combat effectiveness of our country's officers and soldiers is not very high, and their heads are not worth a tael of silver..." Shen Juncen showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but then he explained: "These are conscripts. Our family soldiers are definitely much more powerful than them!"
