Chapter Ninety-Nine: The City Is Broken
Look up overhead, the moon is dark tonight, it's really God's help.
Chen Mazi touched the soft armor on his body, squinted at the group of widows dozens of steps in front of him, and couldn't help but swallow.
The position of the Japanese people among the Japanese is very special, they are not many in number, although they are strong in force, but their status is not high.
However, most of the small leaders of the Japanese are very fond of these Japanese people, on the one hand, they charge into battle and look at death as if they were at home, in other words, their brains are not very bright, and on the other hand, they follow them and often gain a lot.
The Japanese are good at making good people, that is, they are greedy for money, and Chen Mazi regards himself as a veteran, but his method of touching the corpse is definitely not as good as that of the Japanese people...... Thinking of this, Chen Mazi couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Almost touched the place, looking at the sparkling fires on the city, Chen Mazi spat, he was not so naΓ―ve to think that no one was guarding the west city gate, and besides, the east city gate had already been opened.
It's just that according to the plan, it is necessary for a group of people to take the lead, and the Japanese people appear as strange soldiers, Chen Mazi Nunuzui, and the thieves behind him carry the simple ladder and walk forward quietly.
Leng Buding threw a torch from the top of the city, and then a loud gong and drum sounded, and more than a dozen torches were thrown down to reflect the thieves under the city clearly.
With a shout, the pirates sped up, set up the ladder on the wall, and climbed it up with a plank on their heads.
Chen Mazi was a little nervous, unconsciously pulled out the waist knife, opened his mouth to bite the back of the knife hard, and habitually wiped his free hands on his clothes...... Although he is only in his twenties, he has been begging for a living at sea for seven or eight years, and it is common for him to jump to the gang and seize ships.
Large blocks of stones and bricks kept pouring down from the top of the city, and the soldiers tried desperately to fork the ladder with their wooden forks, and the screams continued.
Although it is not difficult to recruit manpower now, seeing the heavy casualties of the brothers he brought out from his hometown, Chen Mazi couldn't help but turn around and scold: "Wang Crab, don't go up, you have the benefit of turning back to the general!" β
Not far away, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face pursed his lips and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to join the battle, he and Chen Mazi are both the leaders of the Japanese Kou directly under Xu Hai, and their fame is not small, the difference is that Chen Mazi relies on a fierce style, and he Wang Crab is Xu Hai's fellow countryman.
In terms of combat methods, the Japanese are still the same as during the day, and the defenders basically follow the same set during the day, and the cooperation between the two sides is quite tacit.
But quietly, by the city wall dozens of meters away from the city head, a black shadow quietly appeared under the city wall.
With a few slight sounds, three long logs were placed on the side of the wall, and black shadows climbed up the wall along the wood.
"Dangdangdang......"
When the first Japanese had just gained a foothold, the sound of gongs and drums sounded violently, and the villagers in a team of five shouted loudly, pinching their spears and poking forward.
But the man smirked and slashed the heads of the two spears that had been poked first, and then rolled down from under the remaining spears and stabbed one of the villagers in the stomach.
Under the light of the torches, Xiang Yong cried bitterly and covered his intestines flowing from his stomach, and the large blood stains made his howl quickly lower.
"Bang Bang ......"
The remaining four villagers threw down their spears almost simultaneously and ran backwards, two of them crashing into each other and falling off the city wall.
Soon, the remaining dozens of Japanese people climbed the city wall, and the leader looked at the city and ran out of the city with his sword in hand.
Chongde County is a small city, and there are not many passages down the city wall, even if the Japanese invaders go up to the city wall, they must capture the city head and go down the city wall from the nearby passage to open the city gate.
Li Liangqin, who was in charge of the West City Gate, watched the group of familiar widows rushing towards him, with a strange and somewhat familiar roar, an alternative hairstyle, and a long knife longer than the ordinary waist knife......
Just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, as soon as the Japanese people at the front rushed to the top of the city, the defenders were crushed at the first touch, and the thieves on the ladder were greatly boosted and accelerated to climb up.
Qian Yuan, who was watching this scene from afar, turned extremely ugly, although he guessed that the Japanese were likely to appear tonight, but it was unbelievable that the city would fall so quickly.
The long knives in the hands of the Japanese were almost not stained with blood, only slightly waved twice, and the defenders ran down the passage crying for their fathers and mothers, because there were too many people and many people were squeezed and fell down.
Although the ferocious and daring of the Japanese people has been famous in this Jiaxing Mansion during this time, the defenders are too fragile.
No wonder Qi Jiguang wanted to train later, and these guards really didn't dare to use it!
"Yang Wen!" Qian Yuan's voice was a little hoarse, "Pull off the plank!" β
"But...... So many people! β
"Pump!" Qian Yuan roared angrily and gave Yang Wen a kick and strode forward.
Tang Shunzhi on the side followed closely, but a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, after all, at least more than 100 soldiers were still on the other side of the ditch.
"Crunch, crunch......"
The gates were finally opened.
Chen Mazi excitedly raised his right arm, "Brothers, the city is broken, the city is broken!" β
More than 200 would-be robbers with green eyes shouted in unison and ran wildly.
Chen Mazi turned his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, Wang Crab was charging into battle and hiding back, taking advantage of the matter of always fighting for the first, obviously far away from the city gate, he actually rushed to the front of him!
The second group rushed into the city gate, Chen Mazi looked left and right and was stunned, the city gate was full of houses, only facing a street, the terrain was quite narrow, and the troops were not easy to deploy.
But it doesn't matter, the defenders will retreat from that street, as long as they are completely defeated, and then the defenders of the East City Gate will be stabbed from behind, and Chongde County will completely collapse!
Chen Mazi was about to command his brothers to rush forward in a loud voice, when suddenly there was a shouting sound from the front.
"Be careful, there are pits, there are pits!"
"Don't push, don't push...... Jump over! β
"Can't jump...... It's too wide, bring wood! β
Chen Mazi hurried over in a few steps, and a long horizontal ditch was dug on the street, and the houses on both sides were demolished, and the horizontal ditch appeared very long and wide.
Squinting at the defenders who were still fleeing on the other side, Chen Mazi shouted: "Stupid, just jump down and climb up!" β
More than a dozen would-be robbers jumped down the ditch, knocking down the defenders in the ditch, clutching the mud wall with both hands and climbing up, but soon fell one after another.
"It's oily, it's slippery!"
"A few more, go up to the wall!"
The defenders on the opposite side were almost out of sight, and the would-be robbers who were eager to pursue jumped down one after another, erecting a human wall and crossing the ditch.
"Brother go first." Wang Crab smiled at Chen Mazi and jumped down.
It's not necessarily a good thing to go first...... Chen Mazi ignored it and looked at the other side of the ditch, frowning suddenly.
At a distance of forty or fifty steps, where the line of sight barely reached, Chen Mazi vaguely saw a figure, not tall, wearing a green shirt, it seemed that he was still a scholar, with one hand in the air, and his posture was a little strange.
Before he could think of anything, he saw that hand suddenly fall, and for some reason, Chen Mazi felt a palpitation.
There seemed to be some sound coming, Chen Mazi listened carefully, and in the chaotic shouting, a rumbling sound of water came.
Chen Mazi licked his lips, feeling that the hand holding the handle of the knife was a little slippery, and reflexively took a few steps back.
Soon, Chen Mazi began to congratulate his intuition.
