Chapter 065 [Blood Battle at the Head of the City]
Although Hai'an Town is rich, but 5,000 taels is not a small amount, at that time the crowd was surging, many local young people who were resting ran down the city to go home to call their father and brother, the whole Hai'an Town was mobilized, everyone knew the consequences of being attacked into the city by the Japanese Invaders, one was prosperous, one was completely destroyed, and all those who could go to the battlefield were unwilling to leave, they wanted to defend their homeland and fight to the death with the Japanese Invaders, which is exactly what Wang Dequan preached and taught for so many years.
Shi Zhutou was not idle, he found a few surviving Lizheng, went to the Wang family's old mansion together, dug up the Wang family's cellar, and brought out a large amount of real money and silver, which was piled up under the city gate in the north, the implication is quite obvious, as long as the Japanese invaders rushed into the city, these things are the Japanese invaders!
On the one hand, Shi Yufeng asked Li Zheng and them to arrange for the old and weak women and children in Hai'an Town to leave from the south gate where there were no widows, and on the other hand, he asked Hai'an Town to look for and collect things that could be used to defend the city.
The Japanese outside the city rested for a full hour, and then they lined up again and slowly approached, giving Hai'an Town a rare respite, which was expected by Duan Fei, and it was also an important reason why he was able to convince Shi Yufeng.
From the wolf smoke rising from the old mansion of the Wang family, to the arrival of the Japanese to attack Hai'an Town, a whole hour has passed, which is the reason why Wang Dequan sent people to create a bloody case in the city, he wants to delay time, so that those who are hiding outside Hai'an Town can gather, so many Japanese are not easy to hide nearby, even if a village is a village of people are Japanese Kou, that village is only dozens of households, young and middle-aged people are only a hundred, it is not easy to gather an army of more than 1,000 people, and most of these Japanese are in a hurry, Not only were they tired from the journey, but they didn't even have time to eat breakfast, not to mention that they probably thought that Hai'an Town was about to be destroyed, and even if they sent people to ask for reinforcements, it would be too late, and it was natural to rest enough time to attack the city.
The bows and arrows carried by the guards have long been shot out, and the earthen arrows reserved in Hai'an Town have also been used up in the first round of defending the city.
The Ming Dynasty was quite strict in the management of muskets, ordinary guards officers and soldiers had never even seen this novelty, those Japanese robbers lived at sea all the year round, but also knew how powerful this thing was, when they heard the musket sound, some of them suddenly fell to the ground, more turned around and ran, hula-la-la, retreated hundreds of steps, and turned around before leaving the maximum range of the musket.
The muskets began to show their might, and the people on the city walls cheered when they saw the corpses of the Japanese invaders retreat with a few corpses.
Duan Fei's eyes didn't have much joy, there were less than ten muskets found in Wang's house, and the muskets of this year had to wipe the gunpowder on the barrel and then stuff the projectiles when they fired a shot, and the unskilled snatchers could shoot again after at least two minutes, two minutes, the enemy was enough to rush up and kill you five or six times, and ten muskets could only scare the enemy, which was not of great use at all.
The leader of the Would-be Bandits was taken aback just now, but he quickly came to his senses and shouted and cursed, and the Would-be Bandits rushed towards Hai'an Town again.
The musketeers retreated to the rear, and were busy with the barrels of their guns, when the pirates saw that there was no gunfire, they were bold, and the long ladder tied with large bamboos was set up on the city wall, and the pirates bit their weapons and climbed up bravely.
Wow...... The boiling oil is the most primitive and quite useful weapon to defend the city, even if the boiling oil is poured on the head and face, the Japanese can not stop the heart-penetrating burning sensation, they screamed and fell, and the Japanese robbers below snatched up again, some of the Japanese robbers wore hats on their heads, and were not afraid of boiling oil, and the people threw down the lit oil bottles, torches, and oiled cloth strips, burning the city and the city into a sea of fire, and many Japanese robbers were buried under the city wall.
Even so, there were still a lot of Japanese robbers rushing to the top of the city, these Japanese were all trained in martial arts, they withstood the wave of attacks for a while, more Japanese robbers climbed up along the bloody road they killed, and a large number of Japanese robbers were crowded under the city wall, competing to climb up.
"Yuqi, it's your turn!" Duan Fei said to Yue Yuqi, who was already ready to go.
Yue Yuqi nodded heavily, lit the fuse with the torch, and when he saw the time, he jumped off the wall violently......
Yue Yuqi had a hemp rope tied around his waist, and the other end was tied to Yue Yulin's waist, and when Yue Yuqi jumped down, Yue Yulin strode towards the gap that was broken open by the Japanese invaders, and Yue Yuqi's body fell for a distance and the rope tightened, and he followed an arc towards the Japanese invaders under the city.
When he slid directly above the Japanese Invaders, Yue Yuqi slammed the explosive bag in his hand that was about to burn out into the densest place of the Japanese Invaders, and at the same time let out a loud roar, hearing the signal, Yue Yulin, who was running wildly on the city wall, stared at his feet, and his body took Yue Yuqi into the air at the same time.
Standing in the distance to watch the battle of the Japanese leader roared angrily, the explosives package exploded violently in the group of Japanese robbers, in the midst of the flesh and blood Yue Yulin pulled the rope, Yue Yuqi swept up the city, the two looked back, only to see the Japanese under the city wall was blown up on their backs, no one could stand within 50 meters of the center of the explosion, the explosion killed more than 30 people on the spot, and countless people were injured.
The officers and soldiers on the head of the city cheered again, but they soon fell into a bitter battle again, with a series of roars of the leader of the Japanese invaders, more Japanese soldiers swarmed up, after a reward of encouragement, the number of people in the city who participated in the defense of the city has reached more than 600, but there is still a huge gap compared to the city, if there is not a city wall to hold, even Duan Fei wants to spread his feet and escape.
The ferocity and courage of the Japanese invaders aroused everyone's blood, Duan Fei also bravely threw himself into the battle, condescending, with the protection of the two brothers of the Yue family, it was still very cool to cut people, although these Japanese who came from outside the city were not afraid of death at a glance, but their equipment was far worse than the Japanese in the city, not only were Oriental knives rare, most people even only carried farm tools, hoes, nine-toothed nail rakes and the like could be seen everywhere, their combat ability was far inferior to those Japanese soldiers that Duan Fei had seen in the city, only in terms of numbers, they still had an advantage.
Finally because there is a master in Hai'an Town, everyone worked together to finally withstand round after round of fierce attacks, and after starting to hold each other, the two sides fought tenacity, and whoever couldn't hold on would collapse instantly.
With the passage of time, even the leader of the Japanese Bandits couldn't help but personally participate in the siege battle, his martial arts are quite strong, and he is a new force, once he rushes to the city wall, it will take at least three Shaolin master-level masters to besiege him to force him down again, because he has attracted the attention of a large number of masters, other Japanese Kou will take the opportunity to rush up, everyone is desperate, but the situation is getting more and more difficult.
The muskets were dumb, the gunpowder was gone, even the oil was gone, and the burning things under the walls were burned out.
Just when even Duan Fei was getting desperate, he suddenly heard a blood-boiling shout of killing, and a large group of men and horses came out from the left side of the city gate, dressed in khaki guard uniforms, holding high the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and they rushed towards the Japanese Kou like mercury, and soon fought with the Japanese Kou.
Seeing this, the leader of the Japanese who was fighting with the masters on the city wall knew that the general trend had gone, he roared, turned over and jumped off the city wall with a false sword, and led the Japanese to fight and go, everyone on the city let out a neat cheer, they finally insisted until the reinforcements arrived, and they won!
"TNND, I thought I was going to send my life here this time......" Mr. Shi sat down with his butt leaning against the battlement, and then he groaned, his whole body hurt, how long has it been since he worked so hard? Although he was extremely tired, his face was full of excitement.
Duan Fei also sat next to him, gasping and said, "Yes, it's finally over." ”
Yes, it's all over, although the people at the head of the city no longer have the strength to participate in the pursuit, but looking at the appearance of those officers and soldiers of the guard station fighting bravely, you know that there should be nothing more on the battlefield.
"No, promotion and fortune have just begun!" Mr. Shi couldn't help but grin happily and whispered to Duan Fei.
Yes, only those who survive have the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, looking at the mountains of corpses piled up above and below the city, Duan Fei suddenly felt a little afraid, if he accidentally died here...... Only after experiencing the battlefield can we know the cruelty of the battlefield.
Only five of the officers and soldiers of the guard were left alive, the township soldiers were almost all wiped out, and the people who participated in the defense of the city were also killed and wounded more than 300 people.
After resting for a while, Shi Yufeng, who heard the shouting and killing, suddenly patted Duan Fei on the shoulder and said, "Have you rested enough?" The matter is not over yet, countless tunnels have been dug up under this Hai'an Town, and there may be thieves hiding in it, we have to clear it up. ”
Seeing that Mr. Shi's eyes were bent into ingots, Duan Fei didn't know what he meant? Immediately, he was also in good spirits, stood up and followed behind Shi Yufeng, gathered the fast catchers together, and was about to start earning their money.
