"Close the city gate." Yan Hai shouted and quickly returned to the position of the magistrate of Minzhou. Seeing that he was about to fight, Yan Hai gritted his teeth and fought with his last breath to knock out the opponent's teeth.

"Villages, go to the wall. Those Japanese pirates have trebuchets on them. We can minimize the losses." Yan Hai shouted loudly, and the people and soldiers on the city began to get busy.

The civilians who came to support descended the city wall one after another. Under the command of Yan Hai, they hid under the city wall, which could greatly reduce the damage caused by the trebuchet.

The soldiers of Minzhou quickly hid behind the city wall, waiting for the enemy's trebuchets to enter the shooting range, and Minzhou was also ready for battle.

"Yan Hai, please explain to me." After the Minzhou army arrived in Minzhou, they did not attack immediately, but shouted loudly to more than ten people on the city wall.

"These little devils are still shouting to kill." Yan Hai murmured to himself, walked to the city wall with a long knife, and shouted loudly to the Japanese pirates in the distance.

"My name is Yan Hai. You can say whatever you want." Yan Hai was a soldier, and his tone was not as gentle as that of ordinary officials.

"General Yan, General Toyotomi admires you very much. If you are willing to surrender, Commander Toyotomi can protect you from death and also give you great benefits."

"Haha, I want to sue that bullshit marshal of yours. He is just the leader of a little devil. He still wants me to surrender. He is really wishful thinking. If you want to fight, fight and don't waste my time."

"General Yan, you don't think about yourself, but you must also think about your soldiers and your people. This is your last chance."

Yan Hai sneered and said sarcastically: "You little devils also know how to sow discord between us. Bring me my bow."

One of the lieutenants quickly picked up the bow and arrow. Yan Hai didn't say anything to them. He bent the bow and nocked the arrow and shot out with one arrow.

"Ah." The arrow penetrated the throat of a messenger and was nailed to the general's carriage. There was chaos in the military camp. After a while, they reorganized themselves, but the defenders on the top of the city sneered again and again. .

"Damn it, damn it." The Japanese pirate general roared angrily, waving his weapons, putting huge stones into the trebuchet, and smashing them into the city.

Yan Hai and others quickly evaded, and huge stones fell one after another like bombs, destroying all the already dilapidated houses in the middle city.

"Damn little devils, they don't know how to use a trebuchet at all. If I had a trebuchet, I guarantee to beat the shit out of them!" Yan Hai said with disdain.

It's not that Yan Hai is arrogant, but this group of little devils have been fighting for almost more than a month. Only a few of them were beaten to death by the trebuchets, and they still fled in all directions without obeying the command. It can be imagined that the little devils How poor is the control of the trebuchet.

"The enemy is attacking, be prepared to fight." After a round of trebuchets, the ladder was set up. Yan Hai shouted and commanded the soldiers on the wall to rush forward.

Rolling logs and thunder stones kept falling, beating these pirates to pieces, but there were too many of them. This time, they seemed to have expected it.

"General Yan, come and take a look!" Yan Hai looked where the soldier was pointing, and suddenly his eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

I saw a group of water bandits pushing two huge things onto the city wall. They were huge siege vehicles, each as high as the city wall.

There is a storage room at the top of the nest car to protect the warriors, while the wooden planks in front can be used as a covered bridge to allow attackers to climb the city wall.

In addition, these nest vehicles are also equipped with ladders, which can allow siege troops to quickly climb to the top of the city, which is much faster than ladders.

Yan Hai looked at the nest car, his expression became extremely ugly. He had no time to think about where these nest cars came from. The top priority was to get rid of the nest car first.

"Everyone, please work with me to overturn this Chao Chao." Just as the Chao Chao was approaching the city wall, Yan Hai and others had already set up the suspension bridge on it.

The pirates in the house struggled to resist, but were unable to open the door. The blood vessels on Yan Hai's forehead bulged and he shouted: "Get up."

The sergeants behind used their strength to pull the nest car back. The pirates below were all startled and backed away for fear of being knocked over. However, they did not expect that this was the effect Yan Hai was waiting for.

"One, two, three..." Yan Hai and others calmed down and shouted. This time, the nest car shook even more violently, and the pirates who were climbing on the steps fell off the steps one by one.

"Get up." Yan Hai said again. Before he could make any move, the goods on the nest car were knocked backwards by him.

The pirates on the Chao Car were all wailing in pain, but Yan Hai showed no mercy. As soon as Yan Hai relaxed, a soldier shouted loudly.

"Sir, the west side of the city has been breached, and many water thieves have attacked."

"What? What's going on?" Yan Hai shouted angrily. He looked up at the wall of the West City and saw a large number of water bandits climbing onto the city wall, and more and more water bandits were riding siege engines. Flooding towards the city.

Yan Hai figured it out at once, but he didn't care who to blame at this time. He personally led the team to reinforce the west city wall, but the opponent was so large that even if they fought bloody battles, they could not repel them.

Coupled with Yan Hai's support for the west city wall, many other lines of defense were missing many people. Although the officers, soldiers and civilians resisted desperately, a large number of Japanese pirates still rushed over.

The soldiers resisted desperately, some had their arms cut off, some even had no weapons, so they used their teeth to tear them apart, and some were dragged down with all their strength.

The war lasted from early morning to afternoon. There were originally more than 3,000 people in Minzhou, but now only more than 100 people survived, and they were forced into a corner.

On the Minzhou side, there were also heavy casualties. Tens of thousands of corpses were lying on the ground, and the whole area was dyed red with blood.

Yan Hai had experienced such a long battle, and his body was covered in blood. Despite his toughness, he seemed a little tired at this time. He killed one person with one sword, wiped the blood from the corner of his eyes, and looked in the direction of the capital.

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to Daliang." As he said that, he was about to add another sword, but the scene in front of him stunned him.

There was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance, and a huge team came straight from far to near to the Japanese pirates' camp.

Because the enemies were concentrated near the city gate, their camp was the weakest point, so they fought their way into Minzhou with overwhelming force.
