The first wave of Japanese pirates had already arrived in front of the city wall, and Fukada directed the second wave of Japanese pirates to begin the attack.
The Japanese pirates who came to the city wall took out their iron claws from their backs and threw them up onto the city wall with all their strength. Some soldiers who could not dodge were caught by the iron claws. The Japanese pirates were taken off the city wall with all their strength and fell to the ground. Their brains were obviously split. If he is dead, even if he falls under the city wall and is lucky enough to avoid having his brain exploded, his death will not be very pleasing to the eye if he is followed by the Japanese pirates' random attacks.
After working hard, everyone relied on the encouragement of Wu Dang and Lin Shouju to avoid peeing their pants and escaping. However, when they saw their comrades around them, Paoze, falling off the city wall one by one, they were certain to die. They were also terrified in their hearts, and they retreated one by one, not daring to step forward, for fear that the iron claws thrown by the Japanese pirates would catch them at some point.
The second team of Japanese pirates picked up the arrows on the ground one by one. After all, bows and arrows do not need to be of the same size, and they can be recycled when picked up. The second wave of Japanese pirates stood ten meters away from the city wall, and then Fukada ordered the third wave The fourth wave also started to move.
The first wave of Japanese pirates continued to throw their iron claws one by one, and their iron claws caught the cracks in the bricks of the city wall.
"No, the Japanese pirates want to board the city," Wu Dang shouted loudly, and hurried forward, "hurry up and cut off the iron claws."
After receiving Wu Zuo's order, several more courageous soldiers stepped forward and slashed with their swords. However, the iron claws of the Japanese pirates were made of special materials, and it was difficult to cut them off without more than ten swords.
Seeing this, the second group of Japanese pirates picked up their bows and arrows and shot at the guards who had their heads exposed.
You must know that except for those who work in the Ming Empire, there is competition for people in any profession, especially those with low risk and high income. Obviously, Japanese pirates are among them, and the targets of robbery are all from the Ming Empire. There is no pressure at all. And the rewards are hundreds and thousands of times. However, even if a person without any skills becomes a pirate, the pirate leader will not accept him. The Ming Empire is willing to support idlers, but Japanese pirates are not, so they want to work in this promising industry. If you keep doing it, you have to work very hard, keep fit, and practice your skills.
The second group of Japanese pirates was Fukada's pirate archery team. Each of them was an expert archer, and they were able to hit every target with perfect accuracy. They had repeatedly made military exploits in harassing the coastal cities of the Ming Empire.
When the Japanese pirates fired their bows and arrows, several of the guards fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Wu Zuang hurriedly ordered the shield bearer to cover.
The shield bearer stepped forward and blocked most of the bow and arrow attacks, and several iron claws were successfully cut off.
In the first confrontation, everyone suffered losses, but this is not a competition ground, and there is no possibility of resting in the middle.
Wu Ding carefully came to the city wall and looked at the Japanese pirates below through the shooting hole.
We already have some understanding of the combat effectiveness of Songjiang Prefecture soldiers. Fukada no longer felt any pressure, and the last wave of Japanese pirates also gathered under Songjiang Prefecture.
"People inside, listen, I came all the way here just to make friends with you, but you are very unfriendly and have swords against each other. However, I have a lot of people in Fukada. As long as you open the city gate, I can forget about it," Under Fukada's instructions, the Japanese pirates continued to shout.
"Your uncle, you're bullying me, Wu Zuo, for being uneducated. You even use idioms." Being uneducated has always been Wu Zuoshi's heartache. If he had the chance to follow the path of a literate man, he would not stop at being a fifth-rank official. He took a soldier's bow and arrow, Wu Zuoshi pulled the arrow like a full moon, and passed through the shooting hole. , shot an arrow at the Japanese pirate who shouted,
Um, okay, the shot missed, but it was effective. The arrow hit the thigh of the man behind the pirate. A Japanese pirate next to Fukada suffered a disaster.
Fukada was still frightened and almost ejaculated himself, so he moved his body towards the Japanese pirates who shouted.
"Bagh Ya Road, Bagh Ya Road", the injured Japanese pirate was furious and pointed at the city wall and cursed loudly.
"Your Excellency is good at archery," all the soldiers praised him one after another.
Wu Zuo's face was a little red. This was a mistake. He originally thought that he would miss the shot, but he didn't expect that the goddess of luck would favor him. So Wu Zuo once again drew the bow and arrows, aiming more carefully this time. After confirming that nothing would go wrong this time, Wu Zuo did not hesitate and let go decisively.
The arrows were like lightning, flying towards the shouting Japanese pirates at supersonic speed.
The first time he almost died, he warned the Japanese pirates that they had already taken precautions. As educated Japanese pirates, they all cherished their lives. His death would cause huge losses to the entire team, so when he felt that he was in danger, After shouting, the Japanese pirate decisively fell to the ground.
"Nishiuchi, Qiaodou Sack, stand up." Seeing this, Fukada hurriedly ordered the Japanese pirates in front to stand up and block him.
It's just that before Fukada finished speaking, Wu Zuosheng's arrow arrived in front of him. Fukada was caught off guard and fell down, trying to avoid the fatal arrow. But, well, just when Fukada fell and raised his butt, the arrow Here we are, um, the hit rate is very high, right on target, and why is it not bottoming out? Fukada, Fukada, it’s deep enough this time.
"Bagya Road," Fukada cursed in pain. "Here you go, kill all these bastards for me."
Fukada's anger ignited the Japanese pirates' courage. Hooks and claws were thrown up one after another, and Wu Zui and others slashed.
The garrison strength of Songjiang Prefecture is only 3,000, and Songjiang Prefecture has four city gates. Therefore, the east gate where Wu Cheng is located only has a strength of 1,000 men, and the attacking Japanese pirates weigh 1,000. According to the combat effectiveness of 10 to 1 , a thousand garrison soldiers held on with some difficulty.
Although everyone worked together to avoid the arrows flying up the city wall, while waving the steel sword in their hands to chop the iron claws, they could not stop the Japanese pirates' attack. After only a few steps away from the city wall, the Japanese pirates drew out the Japanese swords, He climbed over the wall with one leap, and was slashing among the crowd. As more and more Japanese pirates climbed onto the city wall, the city wall was about to fail. Under the protection of the soldiers, Lin Shouju retreated to the corner of the city wall to hide. Wu Zuoju was a little anxious, holding in his hand Swinging his steel sword, he killed a Japanese pirate who had climbed up the city wall. He retreated to avoid the flying arrows.
"Archers shoot arrows downwards," Wu Zuo ordered hurriedly.
Although the archery skills of the garrison soldiers are not very lethal to Japanese pirates, they can still interfere with them.
The effect was obvious. Because of the close distance and the effect of gravity acceleration, the Japanese archers on the city wall suffered casualties, which also gave the soldiers on the city wall some breathing time to kill the Japanese pirates who climbed up the city wall in small groups.
The deaths and injuries of Japanese pirates inspired everyone, and the myth that Japanese pirates could not defeat them was broken.
However, this was just the beginning. The second wave of siege was about to begin. Fukada was seriously injured and could not leave the firing line. Seeing that the first siege had no effect, Fukada was also a little anxious. The casualties were all his own troops. In order to avoid losses, Fukada had no choice but to order the team to retreat. It was no longer possible for Iron Claw to climb the city, so the body had no choice but to order, "cut down trees and build ladders."
In this era, there is no such thing as deforestation and fines and jail time. With more people, there is more power. Precious trees that can be skewered are chopped down. With the efforts of thousands of Japanese pirates, ladders are built one after another. It is obvious that among the Japanese pirates, There are also professional carpenters.
Looking at the ladders, Wu Zui felt very heavy and stressed.
Originally, the fighting strength of Songjiang Mansion's garrison soldiers was average, slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. It was a fluke that they could persist until now. If the Japanese pirates used ladders to climb the city, defending the city would be even more difficult.
However, today, there is no way out. "Come, prepare round stones and rolling logs."
The farmers who were recruited brought things up, including the sauce that Wang Busheng disliked. The taste was definitely good for losing weight.
"Brothers, we defended the first round of the Japanese pirates' attack and achieved victory." Wu Ding affirmed everyone's achievements, and then continued, "However, the victory is in the past, and the Japanese pirates' next round of attack will be more intense, brothers. Do we have confidence?" ,
Well, after all, there was no rehearsal, and none of the guards responded.
The situation was a bit unexpected, but Wu Zuang thought for a while and didn't care, "Brothers, we all eat royal food. It is logical that it is our duty to defend the city. However, the prefect sympathizes with us and will wait until the war is over. Your Majesty agrees." We can go to the Shuangwaiwai Bathhouse for a week and pay for it at the Yamen."
"Your Majesty, what you say is true."
"Of course, anyone who keeps his word is a puppy."
"Sir, the girl from the Whiskey Tavern is the right one," Erniu questioned. Due to the celebrity effect, the name of the Whiskey Tavern is much more grand than Shuangwaiwai Bathhouse, and the quality of the girls is also beyond praise.
"As employees of the Ming Empire, we must support local industries. I am familiar with Mother Xu. She has been a member of our Songjiang Prefecture for generations. We cannot take advantage of others." Wu Zuo was unmoved. He should get a discount for introducing customers.
"Yes, what's so good about those big horses is that the girls from our Ming Empire are better."
"Yes, I will fight for them for the girl."
The power of a girl is infinite. Under Wu's temptation as a sugar-coated bullet, the handsome man of the Ming Empire became bloody.
The Japanese pirates launched their second attack. Compared with the first attack, this time it was much stronger. All the Japanese pirates gathered under the city wall, and ladders were erected.
The soldiers guarding the city hurriedly slashed with their swords.
"It's just in time." Wu Dang raised a stone and threw it at the Japanese pirates under the city wall. "Brothers, the Japanese pirates have come from afar, how can they not have food and wine? Come and give them hot soup."
Pots of sauce with an original smell were thrown onto the city wall. The Japanese pirates under the city wall were unable to avoid it. Some people were splashed with hot sauce and screamed in pain.
Sauce is just boiling water with added ingredients. In this era of underdeveloped medicine, being splashed with feces containing a large number of germs is basically a death sentence. This inhumane way of defending the city of the Ming Empire has always been criticized by the international community. Criticized and criticized many times by world human rights organizations, the Ming Empire court also issued many orders under pressure to prohibit greeting enemies with feces. This is very immoral, but, well, the organizer this time was Jin Yiwei, who did it It’s also a job that’s easy to get scolded.
The things that were used to defend the city were thrown away one by one, causing considerable casualties to the Japanese pirates who were attacking the city.
