On the not-so-high city wall, an arrow with a screaming sound flew up diagonally from the bottom of the city, directly attacking the figure standing motionless on the city wall.
The archers under the city wall must have noticed this figure for a long time. Although, this figure should not appear in this place at this time, from the perspective of the people around her, this must be a person of high status.
A huge shield appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of the figure. The arrow made a soft "duh" sound and was nailed to the shield. The person behind the shield had eyes wide open.
Without blinking, he kept looking at the sea in the distance, as if the flying arrow was like an insignificant fly.
"Mrs. Jing!"
There was a sound of footsteps behind her. It was the Fuso soldiers who were obviously a head shorter than the guards around her, rushing over in a hurry.
"Let's go back and have a rest. At this time, our ship has just returned to Tamsui and the reinforcements will not arrive so soon!" Qiu Cao'er glanced at the Fusang soldiers behind him and advised in a low voice, his eyes focused on Zhu Wanting.
He paused for a moment on his raised lower abdomen, his eyes filled with worry.
Zhu Wanting made a soft hum in her mouth, touched her lower abdomen with her hand, and sighed slightly. At this time, there were no familiar sails on the sea. It seemed that there would indeed be no reinforcements coming today.
In the distance, Mao Lilan hurried over from the city. She heard from her subordinates that Mrs. Jing of the Ming Dynasty had climbed onto the city wall again, so she rushed over immediately. Although the Maoli family was currently surrounded by three big names.
The coalition forces were retreating steadily, and almost all the territory they had expanded in the past few months had been vomited out. The remaining defeated soldiers could only be trapped in Nagasaki Castle. However, the Maori family's biggest reliance has been until now.
Without taking action, at this time, if those stray arrows hurt this noble lady, then there would be nothing to rely on. Maybe the reinforcements that she and the lady are looking forward to at the moment will not be the living Bodhisattva of their Maori family to save the suffering, but
It's life-threatening black and white.
Zhu Wanjing looked at Mao Lilan who was coming in a hurry, nodded slightly without saying a word, and walked slowly down with the support of Xiaolu beside her. She had always disliked this Mao Lilan, and even now, this concept still resonates with her.
Nothing has changed.
Things have developed to this point only half a month ago.
With the Maori family secretly supported by the Ming Dynasty, their ambitions were like weeds in the wilderness touching sparks, and they suddenly burst into flames. Qian Wubing left Nagasaki, leaving behind two huge armored ships and hundreds of other people.
Western samurai, although this iron-clad ship cannot go ashore, and these Western samurai have not entered the city to station, but everyone can understand the meaning of this support.
Using this guise, or rather this piece of tiger skin, the Maori family has been expanding in all directions like crazy in the past few months. In less than three months, its territory has expanded
Accounting for almost a quarter of Kyushu Island, this was the most glorious moment in the history of the Maori family.
However, this expansion not only consumed the weapons and talents accumulated by the Maori family over the years, but also made the three most powerful families in Kyushu Island, the Furuda family, the Kobayashi family and the Yagyu family, become highly vigilant towards the Maori family.
, In their eyes, the Maori family was just a small, unworthy city lord, but now, the Maori family can threaten them.
Of course, out of fear of the two ironclad ships, they did not immediately turn against each other, but began to stifle the Maori family's development space from all aspects. Until half a month ago, Grisha's ironclad ship was attacked by pirates coming from the route.
After the information was released, they suddenly took action and worked hard to erase the name of the Maori family from the power map of Kyushu Island in the shortest possible time.
The Maori family only relied on money and women to obtain the support of Ming Dynasty. If he could do it, can we not do it? This is probably something that Ming Dynasty has already thought clearly in their hearts. One is the manpower of one city and one place.
After arriving at a place several times larger than the original one, one of them secretly accumulated troops and suddenly launched an attack, and his troops were far superior to the other's. The result was naturally conceivable.
Nagasaki was protected by armored ships, so the coalition forces of the three daimyo almost cut off all the tentacles of the Mori family extending out from Nagasaki at any cost, and then pointed their troops at Nagasaki. They tried their best to convince Bear Island
The navy of the Maori family harassed the trade route from Ming Dynasty to Fuso, wasn't it just to divert the two ironclad ships? If they waited until the ironclad ships returned, the Maori family would not be able to get rid of them. No matter how powerful their samurai swords were, how could they block the attack?
When the god was angry, all the big cannons fired together! Nagasaki Castle was within the range of the armored ship.
However, there are also three jins of nails in a rotten ship. For their old home, the Maori family built it regardless of the cost, not to mention that they got the support of the fleet from all over the world. They even traded it for it and sold it to a fleet of more than ten people.
Although their second-hand cannons are incomparable to the cannons on armored ships, in Fuso, they are considered to be the leading weapons for defending the city. In addition, the Maori family's shrinking manpower from various places is almost all here.
, the coalition forces of these three daimyo attacked for three consecutive days, but made no progress except for the dead people scattered all over the place.
Now, not only the Maori family was worried, but the coalition forces outside the city were also worried.
Of course, the coalition forces didn't know that the most distinguished person on the ironclad ship stationed in Nagasaki did not go with the ironclad ship to "annihilate the pirates", but was besieged by them in the city. If they knew this, I'm afraid they would even
It was necessary to pile people's lives on top of the city and rush into the city.
"Where's Xiao Maoli?" Zhu Wanjing walked slowly to the top of the city and looked at the tall castle tower not far away, "Is he still up there?"
"Yes!" Mao Lilan lowered her head and replied: "Master Yuanjiu has been observing the enemy's situation above. If Madam wants to see the situation outside, she does not need to go to the top of the city in the future. She can directly send someone to inform the city lord that the castle tower is an important military location for others.
,But it doesn’t matter, madam!”
"It's too high. I'm bored when I climb up!" Zhu Wanjing shook her head slightly: "We fought twice today. I see that many warriors from your Maori family died. How long do you think you can defend this city?"
"No matter how long we guard, as long as there is one member of the Maoli family alive in the world, these thieves will never harm my wife!" Mao Lilan's face was straightened, and she said in a low voice. In her words, except for Zhu Wanting's words,
He is very cautious, but he also has a bit of heroic spirit.
