The fierce fire oil flames that were half a day high directly blocked the way of the Japanese invaders' advance, and more than 1,000 people were blocked from the fire, unable to advance half a step at all. Some of them were not afraid of death, and they had just rushed out less than two steps before they were shot into a hornet's nest by the crossbowmen who were waiting on the city wall.

Uncle Guan shouted and scolded on the city wall: "You damn things, who made you set such a big fire all at once." Look, now the Japanese don't dare to approach at all, you stupid people, Lao Tzu told you early on to wait for those Japanese to get close before setting fire. ”

In the face of Uncle Guan, who was dancing with teeth and claws, no soldier dared to speak back, in fact, they were indeed the ones who were at fault. Since most of them are new recruits and have never really been on the battlefield, this leads to the fact that as soon as the big scene appears, they are all nervous, and one accidentally ignites such a fire.

Adou came over from nowhere, he heard Uncle Guan's shouting, and stepped forward with a smile on his face to persuade: "Okay, Uncle Guan, you don't need to be so angry, although we haven't been able to effectively kill those widows at once, but we haven't suffered casualties!" ”

Uncle Guan glared at the soldiers who shrugged their heads viciously, and then said: "The great opportunity was wasted like this, didn't you mean that you couldn't get along with me?" ”

The city wall is clamoring to miss a good opportunity to kill the enemy, but the sunken plum is in a dilemma. From the beginning of the sneak attack to the present direct and clear work, not only did she not achieve any results, but directly lost about two hundred of her subordinates.

There are only fifteen hundred people, where can they withstand such losses. And now they finally rushed to the city, and they saw that they could have a hand-to-hand melee with the Dongjiang army, but unexpectedly, a fire fell from the sky, blocking their pace of continuing to rush forward, not to mention, they were suppressed by the crossbowmen on the city wall and couldn't move forward even a step.

The situation has developed to this point, which has completely exceeded Meizi's expectations, she hesitated for a while, and finally had no choice but to send someone to inform her father and wait for her father to decide.

Murako Taro didn't wait for the good news from Umeko, but waited for the bad news, and the huge gap in his heart made him angry. The plan that had been planned for nearly two months turned out to be like what he was looking like, and he really couldn't swallow this breath.

It's always easy to be impulsive when you're angry, and Murako Taro is obviously not a good general, and he doesn't have the talent to lead troops to fight at all. No, in a fit of rage, he led the remaining 1,500 people to join the plums.

It's true that things change quickly on the battlefield, and it's right to know how to improvise, but improvisation like Murakotaro can be deadly. Their convergence directly exposed their details, and even more directly exposed them under the noses of the Dongjiang Army.

Chen Jisheng and Liu Guangzuo were guarding the east city gate, and they had already learned that the battle had started on the west side of the city, but there was still no movement here. He complained to Liu Guangzuo very dissatisfied: "It's all your fault, what do you say that Dongcheng is the main place for the Japanese to attack." Well, now that the fight is so lively on the West Side, we can only stare at it here. ”

In the face of Chen Jisheng's complaints, Liu Guangzuo didn't even dare to refute this time, and he proposed the idea of coming to Dongcheng to defend. Now that the facts are contrary to his speculation, and Chen Jisheng complains, he has nothing to distinguish.

Although he knew in his heart that he was wrong, Liu Guangzuo was not the master who could be idle, he hesitated for a moment, then approached Chen Jisheng's ear, and muttered in a low voice: "Big brother, now that all those Japanese robbers have obviously rushed to the Xicheng side, there should be no more war on our side." Otherwise, you can bring half of your brothers over to help kill the enemy, and leave this place to the younger brother to guard. ”

Chen Jisheng's eyes lit up after hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, patted Liu Guangzuo's shoulder and said: "Even if you kid still have a little conscience, then it's decided, Dongcheng will be handed over to you to guard, once there is any wind and grass to leave to send a signal to warn, I will come as soon as possible." ”

Liu Guangzuo nodded like pounding garlic, and he assured with a smiling face: "Big brother, don't worry, I'll give it to you here." ”

Chen Jisheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "But for the sake of insurance, we still can't be careless." In this case, I will not bring more brothers, meaning that I will bring a hundred to kill the enemy, and the rest will be left behind, so as to prevent the Japanese from suddenly killing the horses. ”

had already made a mistake, and Liu Guangzuo didn't dare to be careless anymore, he nodded and agreed very simply.

Listening to the killing sound on the other side of Xicheng, Chen Jisheng couldn't hold back his commotion for a long time. Seeing that there was nothing to worry about here in Dongcheng, he left directly with a hundred guards.

The battle situation on the side of Xicheng was a little tragic at this time, and after the arrival of Murako Taro, he severely reprimanded Meizi. After that, he directly ordered 500 Japanese to take out the sand and soil on the ground and rush to extinguish the fire.

The beginning was smooth, but after they got close to the range of the crossbowmen, the salvo of two consecutive crossbow arrows directly killed and wounded more than half of the 500 pirates, and they had no choice but to retreat.

Unable to do anything, Murakotaro did not move to other places, but directly sent a thousand people to divide into two groups to continue to extinguish the fire. Not to mention, this dilutes the density of the crossbow arrows very well, and the casualties are greatly reduced.

At the cost of the lives of 200 Japanese soldiers again, Murakotaro finally extinguished the fire on the periphery, and the 200 firefighters suddenly rushed forward, and began to shoot at the crossbowmen on the city wall.

At the moment when the "bang, bang" gunfire rang out, the unprepared Dongjiang Army on the city wall suffered its first casualty since the start of the fight.

More than a dozen crossbowmen spurted blood from their bodies at the same time as the gunshots rang out, and then they fell to the ground and died.

"Damn, how can a Woko have a gun?" Uncle Guan hid his body under the city wall for the first time, and did not dare to appear at will.

"Uncle Guan, the most commonly used fire system at sea is the fire system, and their fire system is much better than the musket of the Ming court." Adou rolled his eyes and popularized the knowledge of the Japanese with Uncle Guan.

"Damn, there's such a thing, why didn't anyone tell me beforehand." At this moment, Uncle Guan was obviously frightened by the roaring gunfire just now.

"Uncle Guan, do you still need to say this?" Adou was very helpless.

The suppression of the musketeers gave the pirates a good opportunity, and Murakotaro took the opportunity to order another 1,000 pirates to continue to extinguish the fire with sand. At the moment when the Dongjiang army hid, the Japanese had already advanced more than ten meters again.

"Hahaha, Wakou, your grandfather Chen Jisheng is here." Compared with these recruits in Xicheng, the hundred guards brought by Chen Jisheng were obviously not afraid of any muskets, and after they arrived, they immediately dispersed, and then grabbed the bow and crossbow, and began to fire back while the muskets were in between.
