"Throw the torch!"
The Japanese pirates were getting closer and closer, and at the top of the city, the noise and shouts of killing could be heard from below.
Qin Lie gave an order, and more than twenty torches were instantly thrown down from the city wall.
While these torches were still in the air, everyone could see them clearly. Except for the Japanese pirates hiding in the darkness, at a glance, no less than 300 Japanese pirates could be seen!
Because time was short and there was no mountain in Hailing, the county only prepared some heavy timber for the city wall.
The Japanese pirates who had just arrived at the city got a ladder from nowhere and put it on the city wall in a blink of an eye.
"Smash!"
Qin Lie gave an order, and the soldiers were surprised to lift the heavy wood and throw it down in the direction of the ladder.
"ah……"
Suddenly, miserable howls could be heard from the city.
Before the soldiers had time to rejoice, they saw more than a dozen Japanese pirates carrying a heavy log and crashing into the city gate.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the heavy wood hit the city gate hard. Ash accumulated on the city gate and rustled down, choking the soldiers inside who were pressing against the door and couldn't even open their eyes.
"Bring up the bamboo gun!" Qin Lie shouted.
After a while, several strong men carried boxes into the city.
Qin Lie opened the box and revealed that it was densely packed with things that looked like jade bamboos from later generations.
It was also the first time for Xu He to see this thing. The county government had just sent it to him.
Qin Lie should have learned how to use it from the person who sent it.
I saw him pick up a bamboo tube wrapped in cowhide and put the fuse close to the torch.
With a "squeak" sound, like a firecracker about to be set off, Qin Lie quickly threw the thing down the city.
Xu He carefully approached the wall and looked down.
I saw the thing falling under the city and suddenly exploding, startling the surrounding Japanese pirates who were attacking the city and fled away.
But who would have thought that Xu He almost cursed in the next second.
What kind of bamboo gun is this? This thing can also be called a gun.
Isn't this just a big deal?
After the thing exploded, it was spinning and jumping around in the crowd.
The Japanese pirates were a little scared at first, but they saw that this thing could not hurt anyone at all. One of the Japanese pirates stepped forward and kicked the thing away.
The thing was still shining in the air and spinning twice. When it fell, it seemed to have died, and there was no reaction at all!
"Damn it!" Qin Lie also yelled when he saw this. "When the county sent it, they said this thing is called the Night Enemy Bamboo Gun. It is very powerful. If it falls into the hands of a thief, the thief will run away in shock!"
Xu He: "..."
The thief ran away in shock? Very powerful?
Is it possible that the person who sent this thing had some misunderstanding about the saying that it is very powerful?
But based on the principle of not wasting, Qin Lie threw all these things down: "Throw it, throw it towards a place where people are gathering!"
Hula la, more than thirty bamboo guns were thrown at the enemy at night, and sure enough, they still had some effect.
The thieves originally gathered together and tried their best to climb the city, but when this thing was thrown into the crowd, even though the Japanese pirates knew that this thing could not hurt anyone, they still instinctively scattered to avoid it!
At this moment, the heavy hearts of the soldiers on the city wall finally relaxed a lot.
It turns out that Japanese pirates are humans too, and they are not invincible. They also know fear and are afraid of getting hurt.
The brave kitchen men suddenly lost their fear and laughed loudly as they looked at the Japanese pirates who were fleeing in all directions.
Perhaps the bamboo blunderbuss had angered the leader of the Japanese pirates, but a man in the dark shouted: "Let go!"
As soon as the voice fell, the firelight flickered a hundred steps away, and the sound of "bang bang bang" could not be heard.
"ah!"
"ah!"
The mechs, who had just been a little carried away, were instantly knocked down by the Japanese pirate's firearms.
Qin Lie felt distressed and anxious when he saw this scene. He just heard him get angry and say: "Hide the labor and management, don't expose your head!"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of firearm explosions sounded again under the city.
For a time, stone chips were flying on the city wall, so much that people didn't dare to look up.
"Pour the golden juice!" Qin Lie shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, two strong men came to the city tower carrying a bucket of extremely smelly excrement and urine. They hung the bucket on the hook they had prepared in advance.
Someone on the other two sides pulled up the rope, and the bucket of excrement was pulled to the top of the city gate.
One person forks a bucket with a pole, and the hot golden juice pours down.
"ah……!"
Although Xu He did not look under the city wall to see what was going on, judging from the sound, the biochemical weapon attack was effective. At least three or four of the thieves were burned.
But the good times didn't last long. The wall where the barrel had just been dropped was like exploding beans, and the firearm pellets were so heavy that everyone couldn't even lift their heads.
At this moment, the brother who went to Dongcheng to inquire about the situation came back.
"Sir, the Japanese pirates are in a hurry to attack in the east city. Master Zhang has already mobilized manpower from elsewhere to support him. He told us to defend the north city without any support!"
Nonsense, he doesn't have anyone here to help in this situation.
At this moment, shouts and curses came from the northwest corner of the city, where Guangxiao Temple rescued Yu Dayou.
Xu He, Qin Lie and others were shocked.
"It's the waiter's side, there's a thief!"
Without saying a word, Qin Lie picked up a gun from the city wall, put it in his hand, turned around and was about to leave.
After taking two steps, he turned around and said to Xu He: "Master, let me go and take a look!"
Xu He pursed his lips and said, "Okay!"
Here, only Qin Lie and his gang of water bandits who used to hang out in Taihu Lake were ruthless people who had seen blood.
To the northwest is the section where Xiao Er is stationed. He is armed with a knife and Thirteen and others.
That place was breached by Japanese pirates, and the shouts of killing were endless. This can only show that the Japanese pirates were very powerful, and even Daozi, Shisan and others could not resist them.
Qin Lie left, and Zhou Bi took command in his place.
Xu He stood in the biting night wind and listened to the movements in the northwest of the city.
The faint sound of shouting made him uneasy.
After about half an hour, Qin Lie came back with his hair disheveled, and the gun in his hand was covered in blood.
Looking at the wheezing Qin Lie, Xu He could already imagine how critical the situation was just now.
"How about it?"
"There were about ten Japanese pirates, two of them were real Japanese pirates. They injured about ten of our brothers and two of them died. The Japanese pirates are all dead!" Qin Lie said while breathing heavily.
Xu He was shocked that someone was dead.
Although he knew that this kind of thing was inevitable, these were the kitchen workers and farmers who were close to him. Before, they lived in the same camp every day, ate from the same pot of food, joked in their spare time, and cursed at their mothers during training.
Two living people disappeared just like that.
It was like an evil fire was burning in his chest, and he didn't know where it was going.
"Be careful, the Japanese pirates are here again!"
The Japanese pirates should be planning to wipe out thousands of households in Hailing. There is no one in the city. They just came to the city just to test and consume, but now they are serious this time.
Come on, since you're here, let's all come!
Xu He turned to look at the drum school next to him.
When the drum master saw Xu He's eyes, he immediately knocked twice on the big drum!
Not long after the drums sounded, fires suddenly broke out in several houses not far from the north gate.
When the Japanese pirates outside the city saw the fire, they immediately went crazy and stopped attacking the city.
Another Japanese pirate carrying a heavy log hit the city gate, followed by countless Japanese pirates waiting to rush into the city gate at any time.
Seeing this, Qin Lie made a fist with his right hand and raised it.
Upon seeing this, the mechanized soldiers nearby quickly moved in items such as Yaksha hammers, wolf fangs, and cranes.
After the installation was completed, Qin Lie suddenly waved his right hand down and roared: "Let go!"
