Yun Chui's roundup was immediately blocked.
Chunshan and other generals were overjoyed when they saw this and ran faster for a while.
"What a fool, these are Japanese pirate generals, they want to escape."
"The cavalry continues. As for the light and heavy crossbows, one part is aimed at them, and the other part is aimed at the hanging basket lowered by me from the top of the city. If you can't capture them alive, just kill them with the basket and the people!"
"Yes!" shouted responses from all directions.
Coming.
Chunshan spread his legs wildly, looking at the city wall getting closer and closer, feeling ecstatic.
Phew~
At this time, a sharp howl sounded, and before Chunshan could react, a crossbow arrow as thick as an arm flew past him, almost grazing the tip of his nose.
Buzz!
There was a dull sound, and the crossbow arrows hit the city wall not far away, plowing a furrow.
Nima.
Chunshan screamed in fright.
He had also been responsible for the reinforcement of Beihaiguan, so he knew the solidity and quality of the city wall.
At this moment, I couldn't help but feel that my legs were weak, and I almost peeed out of fear.
The power of this crossbow arrow will hit a person, even if he is wearing armor, he will probably be killed or injured.
ah!
He was running forward cringingly when a shrill scream suddenly came from behind.
The cry was very familiar.
Chunshan's heart skipped a beat. He knew something was wrong but still couldn't help turning his head to look.
Not far away, his lieutenant was hit by a flying crossbow arrow. The whole person spurted blood and flew several feet away, falling to the ground without making any sound.
However, at this time, another scream sounded...
City head.
"General," the military advisor was so anxious that he almost jumped up and down, "Yunchui cavalry is pressing too hard. Their heavy crossbow skills are powerful. Chunshan and the others may be in danger."
Masato Nei didn't seem to hear anything and just looked down expressionlessly.
"General," the military advisor hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice, "The brothers at the top of the city are watching. How about... let's use a trebuchet?"
The trebuchet is not like a single-point attack crossbow, it can hit a large area.
As long as it is activated, Yun Chui people will be more or less wary when they approach again, and they may be able to help those below.
Masato Nei turned his head and looked around, feeling regret for a moment in his heart.
The lack of supplies in the city is not conducive to a long war, and they don't know how long they will stay here, so everything must be used sparingly.
When eight thousand people were surrounded before, Masato Nei never thought of using a trebuchet. Now he only wants to save a few people in Chunshan, but he has to use very few supplies?
However, looking at the anxious expressions of the soldiers at the top of the city, he could only grit his teeth and point at the swarming enemies from the south.
"Trebuchet facing south, attack!"
"By the way," Masato Nei quickly added, "Let them only play one round."
The order was quickly passed around.
The stone-throwing operators at the top of the city were refreshed. They had been waiting for this moment and shouted angrily: "Let go!"
Hoo ho ho!
The trebuchet was started, and dense stone bullets and fireballs hit the general direction.
cut!
Many of the soldiers below didn't even bother to hide.
They curled their lips in disgust.
Just this attack?
The Japanese pirates in the city are not trying to kill people, but they are setting off welcome fireworks!
But no matter what, the momentum of attacking Chunshan and others finally slowed down.
Phew~
finally reached.
Chunshan was overjoyed to be unscathed.
He almost rolled and crawled into the hanging basket. Before he could sit firmly, he immediately grabbed the message rope and pulled hard.
The soldiers at the top of the city felt it immediately and shouted quickly.
Several people nearby quickly shook the windlass, and the hanging basket below gradually rose.
Phew~
It's finally safe.
Chunshan let out a long sigh of relief.
If you survive this catastrophe, you will definitely have good fortune in the future. Maybe in the future I can successfully enter Yunchui Superior County and seize the sky full of glory and wealth...
However, before he could clear up Kuangbiao's thoughts,
Hiss.
There was a cracking sound, his body was hit hard by something, and the hanging basket was also stunned.
what's the situation?
Chunshan looked down in shock.
A pitch-black crossbow arrow appeared out of nowhere and directly connected him to the hanging basket.
Isn't that ridiculous? Such a big crossbow arrow doesn't hurt at all?
This was Chunshan's last thought, and then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
Genjing Masato returned to the general's house with a dark face.
As soon as he sat down, he slammed the table in front of him.
This is unreasonable. Not only did he not bring back anything when he left the city, but his entire army was wiped out.
A total of eight thousand soldiers.
It's really a waste of money.
"Come here! Find out the spies for me."
Masato Nei gritted his teeth in anger.
"Everyone in the entire Beihai Customs will be carefully investigated. As long as there is some clue, they will be arrested and no one will be let go. If there is resistance, they will be killed without mercy."
Chunshan's sneak attack out of the city this time was extremely secretive. However, not only Yu Ziping outside the city but even Huang Ming who was far away in Qingwangzhuang had made preparations for the ambush.
Masato Nei would never believe it if there was no traitor in the city.
Soon the entire Beihai Customs was in a commotion. There were murderous supervisors running around in all directions, and countless soldiers were caught red-handed.
Some latou didn't know why and resisted a little, but were directly hacked to death by random blades.
For a time, the whole Beihai Customs was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger.
"General," the military advisor ran in anxiously, "We, Yamato, have been a family since ancient times, and we have always been most loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. You..."
snort!
Before he could finish his words, Masato Nei snorted murderously.
The military advisor was suffocated. Looking at the dark expression on the general's face, he quickly changed his tone.
"However, as the saying goes, the nine types of dragons are different, so it is understandable that there are occasionally traitors or scum among us. However, such scum are considered unacceptable by the world no matter where they are, and I feel that they must belong to a very small minority. "
"There is something obviously different about Chunshan being attacked outside the city this time. The general wants to investigate our internal situation. I can understand it, but I also fully support it."
"However, this is an unusual moment. The enemies outside the city are watching eagerly and may raise troops to attack the city at any time. Therefore, it is better to be quiet in the city than to move."
"General, how about we change to a relatively mild investigation method?"
After speaking, the military advisor sighed silently.
There was a lack of food and clothing in the city, and there was a heavy siege outside the city for a long time. In addition, the news on the east coast of Baekje and the Sasan Islands was always bad.
The morale of the soldiers was not high to begin with. They finally managed to go out to grab something, but the whole army was wiped out. Now the city supervisors are killing people even if they disagree with each other...
If this continues, I am afraid that within a few days, Beihai Customs will be completely in chaos.
However, Masato Nei not only did not listen, but instead looked at him up and down with suspicious eyes.
"Ikema, you didn't betray His Majesty the Emperor, did you?"
The military advisor was stunned for a moment, as if his neck was being strangled.
Facing the general's glaring gaze, my heart felt even colder, and I never uttered the next words.
It took a while before he murmured, but his mouth was full of bitterness.
"Why did the general say this?"
"If Yamato is born and grows up, the whole family will still be Yamato's ghosts when they grow old and die in the future. The general also knows this."
"After following you for more than ten years, I have always been diligent and never slacked off. We are happy together in good times and bear together in adversity. Although Beiquan is in a difficult situation at the moment, my subordinates have never had other ideas and have always been Trying to find a solution.”
"I believe the general can see it!"
Genjing Masato's face softened, and after a while he reached out and patted the military advisor on the shoulder.
"It's just a joke, don't take it to heart, Ikema. Haha, if I were really suspicious, you wouldn't be able to stand here anymore."
Phew~
The military advisor felt a chill in his heart again, but he breathed a long sigh of relief.
