Chapter 1,110 We are outnumbered and outnumbered? No, we are outnumbered and outnumbered!
"Cut down trees and build ladders. Ten siege ladders must be completed within half an hour. I want Jingnan to bleed into a river!"
When the raid failed, the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro became furious. He held a Japanese sword and urged the Japanese pirates to build a siege ladder.
"Hi!"
The Japanese pirates responded with a roar, axes, machetes, and Japanese knives all went into battle, speeding up the logging, and rushing to build siege ladders.
Seeing the Japanese pirates outside the city busy building siege ladders, the people in the city became more and more desperate. Some cried in despair, while others knelt on the ground in despair and kowtowed, praying to the gods from all over the world to save them.
…
There are only so many defenders left in the city, and there are no guard posts within a thirty-mile radius of Jingnan County, so reinforcements are unlikely to arrive in a short time.
With more than thirty people, there is no chance of winning against three thousand Japanese pirates!
How to defend this city?
Damn it, we are doomed! The people cried in despair, and the whole Jingnan was enveloped in crying.
"My lord, can this city still be defended?"
Amidst the desperate cries of the people, the government officials and soldiers on the city wall also fell into despair.
"able!"
Zhu Pingan replied loudly.
Must be able to defend!
Either defend the city or die. This seems like a multiple-choice question, but in fact there is only one option: defend the city!
Even if you can't defend, you must create conditions! You must be able to defend! You must defend! And you can only succeed, not fail!
"The county magistrate...it's not that the humble position hurts morale, but...it's just that we only have thirty brothers now, and there are still two to three thousand Japanese pirates outside. We are outnumbered, and how can we defend two or three of them?"
Thousands of Japanese pirates attacking the city?"
A soldier with an injured arm sighed after hearing Zhu Pingan's words and said dejectedly.
"Who said there are only thirty brothers like us defending the city?" Zhu Pingan shook his head and said meaningfully.
The soldier stretched out his hand and counted it. There were thirty-nine people on the city wall. Even if they transferred the people from the other three city gates, they would only increase the number by more than thirty people. Moreover, the people from the other city gates could not be transferred at all. If there were not
If people guard the city gate, wouldn't it be easy for the Japanese pirates to invade the county town through other city gates?
"It's not more than 30 brothers, but more than 30,000 brothers. We have more than 30,000 brothers guarding the city. It's not that we are outnumbered, but that we are outnumbered!" Zhu Pingan said softly.
"More than thirty thousand brothers? We are outnumbered?" Hearing this, the soldiers opened their mouths in surprise, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
County Lord... are you stupid?! Why are you telling lies with your eyes open? There are only so many people on the city wall. I have counted them several times. It is impossible to count them wrong. How can there be more than 30,000 brothers? Obviously
We are outnumbered and outnumbered. How come we are outnumbered and outnumbered?!
"County Honor..."
The soldier opened his mouth and was about to defend himself when he looked up and saw that Zhu Pingan turned around and walked slowly towards the inner battlements of the city wall.
"Dear fellow citizens!"
Zhu Pingan walked slowly to the battlements on the inside of the city wall, pressed his hands on the city wall, and shouted loudly to the desperate and crying people under the city wall.
When the people in despair below the city heard the voice of the county magistrate, they couldn't help temporarily stopping their desperate tears and prayers and looked up.
"Fellows and fellow villagers, you have all seen it. Three thousand Japanese pirates attacked the city. Our government officials and soldiers were very good. They were very brave and fought the enemy bravely. No one backed down. They did it and defended the first wave of the Japanese pirates' attack.
The Japanese pirates left more than a hundred corpses behind. However, we also suffered heavy casualties. Thirty-two people were killed and 29 wounded in the battle. Currently, only 39 people are left to fight again, and there are still Japanese pirates outside the city.
More than three thousand. Now, the Japanese pirates outside the city are cutting down trees and building siege ladders. When the siege ladder is built, the Japanese pirates will attack the city again. Now is a critical moment for Jingnan's life and death."
Zhu Pingan pressed his hand on the city wall and spoke loudly to everyone, without concealing the current life-and-death crisis.
"Ugh... How can we defend this city with more than 30 defenders and more than 3,000 Japanese pirates? Oh God, Tathagata Buddha, and the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, please save us, please.
You guys."
"Oh, you're dead!"
"Woohoo, so people, still keep a fart. We simply found a rope to understand ..."
"How can such a small number of people defend Jingnan? If we want to defend Jingnan, we need the help of gods and Buddhas all over the sky."
Hearing Zhu Ping'an's confession about the life-and-death crisis, the people below the city became even more desperate. They prayed to gods and Buddhas, cried to heaven and earth, and blamed everyone...
"With more than 30 defenders and more than 3,000 Japanese pirates, how can we defend this city?" Zhu Ping'an looked at the crowd and twitched his lips, "I heard someone praying to God and praying to Buddha, saying that they would defend Jingnan unless the gods and Buddhas in the sky help.
That’s all.”
"Yes, with such a small garrison and so many Japanese pirates, unless the gods help, how can we defend the city?"
"Unless there is a miracle, you are dead."
"Mr. Magistrate, let's raise the altar, burn incense, pray to the gods, and pray to the Buddha. Maybe there will be gods willing to help."
"Hey, miracles are so illusory, you can't just ask for them and get them..."
The city was in chaos. Someone suggested praying to gods and worshiping Buddha. It was like grabbing the last straw when drowning.
"Pray to God and worship Buddha?" Zhu Ping'an twitched his lips, "There once was a devout Buddhist. Once he encountered difficulties, he went to the temple to pray to the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, and asked the Bodhisattva to help him resolve his difficulties. When he walked in
When he was kneeling down to pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva in the temple, he found a person on the futon next to him praying to Guanyin Bodhisattva. He found that this person looked very similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva, as if the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was alive, so he asked curiously,
"Are you Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva?" Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva replied, "Yes." The Buddhist asked puzzledly, "Since you are Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, why do you worship yourself?" Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva replied, "Because I have also met
When things get difficult, I know it is better to ask God than to ask myself!'"
“It is better to ask God than to ask yourself!”
Zhu Ping'an's words were like a thunderbolt, which exploded above everyone's heads, making everyone jump into excitement.
"Fellows and fellows, it is better to ask for God than to ask for yourself, and to ask for others than to ask for yourself! This is the time of life and death for Jingnan County! The ones who can save Jingnan now are the fellows and fellows themselves. The ones who can save the fellows are also the fellows and fellows themselves.
.Although there are more than 3,000 Japanese pirates, there are 30,000 in our Jingnan County. Stand up, fellow citizens! Stand up! Guard the city together! We have 30,000, but the Japanese pirates only have 3,000. With 30,000 against 3,000, we occupy the right time and place.
There is no reason why people and people cannot defend the city! As long as we defend, we will be able to defend!" Zhu Pingan was impassioned and shouted at the top of his lungs, "But if, if we don't defend the city, the Japanese pirates will kill them with Japanese knives.
We! Killed our parents, wives and children! And they still pointed at our bones and said: 'Look, these are cowards without eggs!'"
"Defend the city!"
"Defend the city!"
"Master Magistrate, we are not cowards, we must defend the city!"
"If you don't defend the city, you will definitely die! Defending the city can also give you a way to survive and fight against the Japanese pirates!"
Zhu Ping'an's words were like a match thrown into a barrel of dynamite, and the city seemed to explode in an instant! Please shout out the battle!
