Xiao Xian has always thought that he is different.

It is indeed different, the leaders of the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast are basically all from maritime merchants, Xu Dong and Li Guangtou in the early days, and Wang Zhi, Mao Haifeng, Lin Bichuan, and Ye Zongman in the later days.

But Xiao Xian is not, he is from a military family, from the state guard, many years ago he was imprisoned for killing people in a street fight, and it happened that the Japanese invaded, and he took the opportunity to escape to the sea, which became a pirate.

Since the fall of Ligang, Xiao Xian has the idea of coming to Songjiang to get a handful, no way, now Zhejiang is heavily guarded, and others can say that those wolf soldiers are more desperate than those Japanese people with a single brain.

But as soon as Xiao Xian took his men to sea, he was caught up by Yu Dayou from behind, and several ships were burned down after a battle, and then he was defeated by Yu Dayou in Chuansha.

Xiao Xian didn't have any unconvinced thoughts, firstly, he came to seek wealth rather than to conquer the city, and secondly, Yu Dayou was too famous, and he was recognized as the first general of the Ming Dynasty south of the Yangtze River today.

Yes, I can't afford to provoke you, I can afford to hide from you, so Xiao Xian set his sights on Taicang.

first successfully attacked Liujiagang, and then set up an ambush on the road to annihilate the Taicang guard led by the deputy envoy of Taicang Soldier Beidao, Xiao Xian felt that Jiading City was already in his pocket.

But I didn't expect that the results on the first day were not bad, but on the second day, from morning to evening, Jiading City's resistance became stronger and stronger, although it once rushed to the city, but it was quickly driven down.

In a small village a few miles away from Jiading City, Xiao Xian nibbled on a hard steamed bun, wondering whether to simply retreat and pull down, Songjiang has Yu Dayou, Jiaxing Mansion has Lu Bo, it really can't go to Tongzhou, although it is a little poor, but the army is weak.

The reason why Xiao Xian decided to retreat was because the Ming army in the city, which had extraordinary combat strength, although it was small in number but well-equipped, was driven down by them when it attacked the city twice during the day today.

Xiao Xian was a little depressed, how could there be hard bones everywhere!

That's when good news came.

"Big brother, really, it is said that it is a book of rites!" His subordinates spit on their waists, their eyes full of greed, "Official, when the time comes, the ransom alone will ......"

There are many reasons why the Japanese were able to sweep half of the south of the Yangtze River later, but one of the important reasons for the large scale was that a large number of unproductive market scoundrels and bankrupt farmers and fishermen joined the ranks of the Japanese invaders.

However, there is no obvious distinction between the upper and lower levels within the Japanese Bandits, and the expansion of their power depends to a large extent on the fame of the Japanese Bandit leaders.

So, Xiao Xian's heart was moved, if he could capture or kill that Ministry of Rites Shangshu alive in Jiading City, his fame would be able to catch up with Wang Zhi, and when the time came, ...... Some are the younger brothers who bow their heads.

Xiao Xian was determined to continue the siege, not to mention that he still had a killer weapon that he hadn't come up with.

……

It was already the fourth day of the siege of the city, and the townsmen and soldiers at the head of the city were very tired, but they did not complain.

The reason is very simple, Qian Yuan and Lu Bin, who have actually taken over the defense of the city since the afternoon of the first day, have never been to the city, and even at night they have spent the night in the city.

Coupled with the generous bounty and the daily meat meal, the morale of the defenders in the city was quite strong.

Qian Yuan really wanted to go down to rest and rest, but he was really not at ease, although he had no experience in ancient warfare, and he didn't know much about the art of war, but he also obviously found that Lu Bin was young in arranging troops.

A few days ago, Lu Bin arranged all his personal soldiers and village warriors at the head of the city and at the gate of the city according to the usual practice, and Qian Yuan insisted on dispatching nearly 20 soldiers as reserves.

As a result, the Japanese invaders rushed up the not particularly high city wall, and if it weren't for Yang Wen with the Qian family guards and the twenty soldiers to block it, Jiading would be almost finished.

Standing at the head of the city and watching Lu Bin command the Ming army to repel another wave of attacks by the Japanese invaders, Qian Yuan praised and said: "Only actual combat can sharpen people." ”

Indeed, in just three or four days, Lu Bin's command began to calm down, but he was still a little stunned at the critical moment, and rushed up with a waist knife to chop people at every turn.

Of course, in a battle of such a scale, Lu Bin is a novice, and Xiao Xian on the opposite side is also a novice.

In the past few days, Qian Yuan also realized that he did not have the so-called talent, he was not sensitive enough to the loopholes and weaknesses in the battle array, and managing logistics and dealing with those numbers was his forte.

However, Yang Wen has a talent in this area, and he has become Lu Bin's deputy in a few days.

But this is also in line with Qian Yuan's mind, it is really not a good pleasure to go into battle and work hard, you must know that in this era, a cold and flu may kill you.

And eighty percent of the standard weapons in the hands of the Japanese robbers on the other side were obtained from the defenders of Liujiagang, and most of the weapons were rusty, and Xiang Yong, who was poked in the arm by the rusty iron gun on the first day, did not seem to be seriously injured, but now it is no longer good...... Qian Yuan knew that eighty percent of it was tetanus.

"It's almost, and if it continues, there won't be enough manpower." Zheng Ruozeng reminded in a low voice: "Wu Zhutou's side is also ready." ”

"Yes, let's get started." Qian Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zheng, you say...... Are we going to die here? ”

Zheng Ruozeng pursed his lips and didn't speak, the Japanese didn't actually besiege Jiading to death, but there is no news of any reinforcements so far, only relying on Jiading County itself, if it doesn't take risks...... I'm afraid that the city will be broken in the past few days.

Suddenly, an angry roar sounded not far away, and in a short period of time, the entire Xiangyong and Ming troops on the wall were clamoring.

Qian Yuan looked over, not far from the city, seven or eight Japanese robbers drove more than a dozen people over, and under the chaotic knife, the people fell to the ground crying and howling.

Zheng Ruozeng scolded the brute in a low voice, although those thieves are widows, they are all Ming people, not real widows.

"Can't get out of town!" Yang Wen clutched the barrel of the gun tightly, and his gloomy face was distorted.

The royal courtyard next to him bent his bow and arrows hard, but the Japanese had already figured out his range, and the bow and arrow fell weakly about ten steps away from the Japanese Emperor.

Qian Yuan rubbed his nose vigorously, which was his habitual action when he was extremely angry, but soon his hand stopped.

There was silence on the wall, except for the faint sound of grinding teeth.

Seems like where have I heard something similar before...... Qian Yuan was in a trance, as if he was in a history class in his previous life, or maybe in a war memoir......

The mass of things that had been picked up by the sharp sticks was still squirming slightly, and with the arrogant laughter of the would-be robbers, it was soon quiet......

In this silence, a wolf smoke rose in Jiading City, with a strange pink color in the smoke.

Xiao Xian, who was looking at Jiading City from afar, nodded with satisfaction, it has been five days, and he finally sees hope.

Qian Yuan, who rubbed his nose vigorously, looked indifferently at the widows outside the city, and after five days, he finally saw hope.
