Although Hai'an Town is rich, five thousand taels is not a small amount. At that time, there was a great excitement. Many local young men who were resting ran down the city and went home to call their fathers and brothers. The whole Hai'an Town was mobilized. Everyone
Everyone knows the consequences of being invaded by Japanese pirates. They will be both prosperous and completely destroyed. Anyone who can go to the battlefield is unwilling to leave. They want to defend their homeland and fight the Japanese pirates to the end. This is exactly what Wang Dequan has preached and taught over the years.
of.
Captain Shi was not idle either. He found a few surviving Li Zhengs, and together they went to the Wang family's old house, dug out the Wang family's cellar, took out a large amount of real gold and silver, and piled it open under the north city gate.
The implication is quite obvious, as long as the Japanese pirates are allowed to rush into the city, these things will belong to the Japanese pirates!
While Shi Yufeng asked Li Zheng and others to arrange for the old, weak, women and children in Hai'an Town to leave from the south gate where there were no Japanese pirates, Shi Yufeng also visited Hai'an Town to look for and collect things that could be used to defend the city.
The Japanese pirates outside the city rested for a full hour before they lined up again and slowly approached, giving Haian Town a rare chance to breathe. This was what Duan Fei had expected, and it was also an important reason why he was able to convince Shi Yufeng.
A full hour passed from the time when the smoke rose from the Wang family's old house to the time when the Japanese pirates came to attack Haian Town. This was exactly the reason why Wang Dequan sent people to create murderous crimes in the city. He wanted to delay the time so that those who were hiding in Haian Town could be killed.
When Japanese pirates gather outside, it is not easy for so many Japanese pirates to hide nearby. Even if all the people in a village are Japanese pirates, there are only dozens of households in that village, and there are no more than a hundred young and middle-aged people. It is necessary to gather into an army of more than a thousand people.
It's not easy, and most of these Japanese pirates came in a hurry. Not only were they tired from the journey, they didn't even have time to eat breakfast. What's more, they probably thought that Hai'an Town was about to be destroyed. Even if they sent people to call for reinforcements, it would be too late. They had enough rest.
It was a matter of course to attack the city again when the time came.
The bows and arrows carried by the guardsmen had already been shot, and the earthen arrows stored in Hai'an Town were all used up in the first round of defense. The Japanese pirates walked closer and closer boldly, and just when they were about to launch an siege, bang
There were continuous bangs, and several Japanese pirates who were closer to the front suddenly fell down.
The Ming Dynasty had very strict management of muskets. Ordinary guards officers and soldiers had never even seen this novel thing. Those Japanese pirates who lived at sea all year round knew how powerful this thing was. When they heard the sound of muskets, some Japanese pirates immediately
Throwing themselves to the ground, more of them turned around and ran away, retreating hundreds of steps with a huff and puff, and then turned around after leaving the maximum range of their muskets.
The muskets first showed their power, and when they saw the Japanese pirates leaving a few corpses and retreating, the people on the city wall cheered.
There was not much joy in Duan Fei's eyes. He found less than ten muskets in Wang's house. To fire a musket these days, you have to rub the gunpowder on the barrel and then stuff the projectile. An unskilled shooter can wait at least two minutes before shooting again.
Two minutes is enough for the enemy to rush up and kill you five or six times. Ten muskets can only scare the enemy and are of no use at all.
The Japanese pirate leader was startled just now, but he quickly woke up, yelling and cursing, and the Japanese pirates rushed towards Haian Town again.
The musketeers retreated to the rear and were busy unloading the barrels of their guns. Seeing that there was no gunfire, the Japanese pirates became emboldened. The long ladder made of big bamboo clattered up on the city wall. The Japanese pirates gripped their weapons and bravely climbed up.
Wow... boiling oil is the most primitive and very useful weapon for defending the city. The Japanese pirates who were drizzled with boiling oil on their heads and faces, no matter how strong they were, could not stop the burning sensation in their hearts. They screamed and fell down.
The Japanese pirates below came up again. Some Japanese pirates wore bamboo hats on their heads and were not afraid of boiling oil. Some people threw down the lit oil bottles, torches, and oil-soaked cloth strips, burning the upper and lower parts of the city to ashes.
In the sea of fire, many Japanese pirates were buried under the city wall.
Even so, there were still many Japanese pirates rushing to the top of the city. These Japanese pirates were all trained in martial arts. They withstood the wave of attacks for a while. More Japanese pirates climbed up along the bloody path they had fought, and a large number of Japanese pirates were even more numerous.
They are crowded under the city wall, scrambling to climb up.
"Yu Qi, it's your turn to take action!" Duan Fei said to Yue Yuqi, who was already waiting.
Yue Yuqi nodded solemnly, lit the fuse with a torch, and at the right time, he jumped off the wall...
There was a hemp rope tied around Yue Yuqi's waist, and the other end was tied to Yue Yulin's waist. When Yue Yuqi jumped down, Yue Yulin strode towards the gap opened by the Japanese pirates, and Yue Yuqi's body fell a certain distance after the rope
Tensioning, he rowed along an arc towards the Japanese pirates below the city.
When he was sliding directly over the Japanese pirates, Yue Yuqi slammed the almost exhausted explosive pack in his hand into the place where the Japanese pirates were most concentrated. At the same time, he let out a loud roar. After hearing the signal, Yue Yulin, who was running wildly on the city wall, stared at his feet.
The body took Yue Yuqi into the air at the same time.
The Japanese pirate leader who was standing in the distance watching the battle roared angrily, and the explosive pack suddenly exploded among the Japanese pirates. Yue Yulin pulled the rope while blood and flesh were flying, and Yue Yuqi swept up to the top of the city. When the two looked back, they saw only the walls of the city.
The Japanese pirates who fell were knocked upside down by the explosion. No one could stand within 50 meters of the center of the explosion. The explosion killed more than 30 people on the spot and injured countless others.
The officers, soldiers and people on the top of the city cheered again, but they soon fell into a fierce battle again. With a series of roars from the Japanese pirate leader, more Japanese pirates swarmed up. After offering rewards for encouragement, the number of people on the city participating in the defense had reached six.
There are more than a hundred, but there is still a huge gap compared to the city. If there is not a city wall to hold the stalemate, even Duan Fei would like to run away.
The ferocity and bravery of the Japanese pirates aroused everyone's blood, and Duan Fei also bravely threw himself into the battle. It was quite satisfying to kill people from a high position, protected by the two brothers of the Yue family. Although these Japanese pirates who came from outside the city were easily
They are brave and fearless of death, but their equipment is far inferior to that of the Japanese pirates in the city. Not only are Japanese swords rare, most of them only carry farm tools, hoes, nine-tooth rakes and other things that can be seen everywhere. Their fighting ability is also far inferior.
Among the Japanese pirates that Duan Fei had seen in the city, they still had an advantage in terms of numbers.
Finally, because there are some experts in Hai'an Town, everyone worked together to withstand the fierce attacks one after another. After the stalemate began, both sides fought for tenacity. Whoever couldn't hold on would collapse in an instant.
As time went by, even the Japanese pirate leader couldn't help but participate in the siege battle himself. His martial arts was very strong and he was a vital force. Once he rushed to the city wall, he would need at least three Shaolin master level masters to besiege him again.
After forcing him to continue, since he attracted the attention of a large number of masters, other Japanese pirates took the opportunity to rush in. Everyone tried their best, but the situation became increasingly difficult and dangerous.
The muskets were mute, the gunpowder was gone, even the oil was gone, and all the combustible things under the city wall were burned out. Once the Japanese pirates rushed to the city in large numbers, what else could they do to resist?
Just when Duan Fei was getting desperate, he suddenly heard the blood- boiling cry of killing. A large group of people came out from the left side of the city gate. They were dressed in khaki guard uniforms and held high the flag of the Ming Dynasty. Their mercury poured down the ground.
He rushed towards the Japanese pirates and soon fought with them.
The Japanese pirate leader who was fighting with the masters on the city wall saw this and knew that the situation was over. He screamed loudly, made a feint with his sword, jumped off the city wall, and led the Japanese pirates to fight and walk away. Everyone on the top of the city cheered in unison.
, they finally persisted until reinforcements arrived, and they won!
"I thought I was going to die here this time..." Mr. Shi sat down against the crenel, and then he groaned. His whole body ached. How long has it been since he worked so hard? Although he was tired
Extremely excited, but his face couldn't help but be excited.
Duan Fei also sat down next to him and gasped: "Yes, it's finally over."
Yes, everything is over. Although the people on the city have no strength to participate in the pursuit, but looking at the officers and soldiers of the guard station fighting bravely, you know that nothing will happen on the battlefield. The Japanese pirates were defeated like a mountain.
, these guards officers and soldiers won't they suffer a big loss if they beat a drowned dog?
"No, promotion and wealth have just begun!" Mr. Shi couldn't help but grinned happily and said quietly to Duan Fei.
Yes, only those who survive will have the opportunity to gain promotion and wealth. Looking at the piles of corpses above and below the city, Duan Fei suddenly felt a little scared. If he accidentally died here... Only those who have experienced the battlefield know how cruel the battlefield is.
Only five wounded and disabled officers and soldiers of the guard station were left alive. Almost all the rural soldiers were wiped out. More than 300 people who participated in the defense of the city were killed or wounded. In this battle, more than 500 Japanese pirates were killed, plus those killed in the city, both offensive and defensive.
The losses on both sides were basically equal.
After resting for a while, Shi Yufeng, who heard the shouts of killing had faded away, suddenly patted Duan Fei on the shoulder and said, "Have you rested enough? The matter is not over yet. Countless tunnels have been dug underground in Hai'an Town by Japanese pirate spies."
There might be some thieves hiding in there, we have to clear it out."
Seeing Mr. Shi's red eyes bent like gold ingots, didn't Duan Fei know the meaning behind his words? He immediately became energetic, stood up and followed behind Shi Yufeng, summoning all the detectives.
Once you get one yuan, you will start making money from them.dd
