Chapter 124: Defending the City
Yun Yun was stunned for a while, this widow is really true temperament, and he even admits defeat so freely. But seeing the surrounding Japanese invaders, they surrounded them and nervously opened their posture.
Da Lang was obviously dissatisfied, and yelled at the surroundings, and the Japanese robbers all retreated in frustration, but he himself walked over and said with a smile: "It's okay, we Japanese samurai talk about credibility." Where are you going? I'll send you away. ”
Seeing that Da Lang was so sincere, Yun Yun also relaxed: "I want to go into the city." ”
"Okay, I'll send you. Da Lang didn't talk nonsense, and walked towards the city gate with the clouds through the layers of encirclement.
He admired his straightforward character very much, and couldn't help but persuade: "Da Lang, since you are obsessed with martial arts, you shouldn't get involved in this conflict. Your father slaughtered civilians, looted property, and harmed one party, which is not what a warrior should do. ”
Well, hearing Yun mention his father, Da Lang's face turned a lot darker: "I know it's wrong, and I also resent their behavior." But I'm not the head of the house, and I can't change anything. I only came with them to learn from the warriors of the Central Plains, and I didn't do anything hurtful. I lost the battle with you this time, and I also know the gap between me and the younger generation of you Han people, and I will return to China as soon as I send you away, and from then on I only ask about martial arts, and the affairs of the organization have nothing to do with me......"
Sending the clouds out of the city, the two exchanged words and left. The officers and soldiers in the city were stunned at this time, not knowing where this young man in Japanese costume came from and what his purpose was, so they all raised arrows at him.
At this time, Lord Zhou had successfully led the people and horses into the city through the waterway, and was at the head of the wall, and recognized the person as Yunyun, and quickly drank to stop the officers and soldiers defending the city, and put the rope down to pull the cloud into the city.
Yun briefly talked about the gambling process with Da Lang, and everyone understood why he passed through the encirclement of the Japanese so easily, and couldn't help sighing, it is rare that there are such trustworthy people among the Japanese people.
After a while, the sky brightened, and the Japanese also launched a siege of Qingshui County again. He has experienced many battles in the clouds, and even fought a few naval battles, but this is the first time he has encountered siege warfare, and the shock brought to him by this kind of group charge is more intuitive.
The Japanese artillery fire is still there, and it is not known whether it has not been completely destroyed or if there is a backup. Although there are only three or five doors, they are still extremely threatening. Cannonballs continued to fall from the sky on the gates and walls, and with a huge explosion, rubble flew sideways, and each time the city trembled.
The simple door shield did not play a big role at all, and from time to time soldiers were shaken off the city wall, and the unlucky ones were directly hit and their bones were gone. Then, under the cover of artillery fire, a large number of pirates shouted and advanced. Although it was disorganized, the team of thousands of people looked like it was crowded.
Most of the Japanese robbers were dressed lightly, which did not affect their movement, and they rushed to the bottom of the city wall with a stick of incense. Then the improvised wooden ladder was erected, and then the cannon fire stopped, so as not to be injured by mistake, and the pirates began to climb.
At this moment, Yun and the soldiers hid behind the battlements and clenched their weapons, feeling a little nervous. In such large-scale team battles, individual force cannot play a decisive advantage.
The veteran Zhou took over the command at this moment, stepped on the battlement with one foot, leaned out and kept looking down. He shouted: "Prepare bows and arrows, prepare to roll wood and stones, all listen to my orders, pay attention to saving arrows!"
As the shouts approached, the pirates approached the wall. Cold sweat broke out on the heads of many officers and men, and those untrained civilians and young adults trembled incessantly. At this time, the atmosphere was silent and oppressive, and everyone was panting violently......
Seeing that the Japanese were only a little more than a foot away from the city, Lord Zhou ordered the rolling wood and stones to be thrown down. The crowd rushed up and threw down the prepared weight. Screams followed, and the pirates were hit and fell off the ladder.
Taking advantage of the chaos below, the old man did not pause to give the order to release the arrows. The archers, who had been hiding behind the battlements, immediately stood up and fired a volley at the pirates beneath the city. Suddenly, there was a clanging sound and a popping sound into the flesh sounded one after another, and at least dozens of people in the city were hit by arrows.
"Don't stop, keep firing arrows, the reserves pick up the ladder. "Orders were given one after the other. Immediately, civilians rushed up from behind and picked up the ladder with bamboo poles, and many of the would-be robbers climbed halfway up, screaming and falling down with the ladder. And the archers even more exerted their strength to shoot towards the city, because the Japanese were too dense to aim carefully, as long as the bowstring was drawn and shot vigorously, someone would definitely be hit by the arrow......
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner under the command of the veteran, and the momentum of the crowd began to rise.
But the good times did not last long, and the bows and arrows of the Japanese were also launched, and there were many bows and arrows among the Japanese people, and thousands of arrows were shot at the wall at the same time, and the momentum was very terrifying. Suddenly, many soldiers fell from the wall screaming at arrows, and the archers in the city were also suppressed so that they could not raise their heads.
"Set up a shield. The old man shouted. So the soldiers erected the prepared door panels, and listened to the sound of arrows hitting the door panels as if they hit everyone's hearts, although they effectively resisted the bows and arrows of the Japanese invaders, but also affected the soldiers' vision and movements. It wasn't long before there were Japanese robbers all over the castle and forced their way up and engaged in melee combat.
Although the pirates have no rules, they are very capable of melee combat, and they rush forward with shouts and shouts, not afraid of life and death. Thanks to the more than 700 fresh forces of the sailors brought by Lord Zhou, it would be difficult to resist a round of attacks. Obviously, the siege of the city for several days had exhausted the patience of the Japanese Kou, and the attack was launched with all its members, and for a time there was an emergency everywhere. Fortunately, the soldiers and civilians in the city knew that once the city was broken, it would be bloodied by the Japanese invaders, so they didn't want to fight back, and they could barely resist without collapsing.
At this time, Yun also called the Japanese to get started, and he also knew that the consumption of only fists in the team battle was too large, so he picked up a steel knife. Although he is not very good at weapons, he has seen all eighteen kinds of weapons when he studied with the old guy, and at this moment, he danced his knife and flew up and down, and it was difficult for ordinary Japanese to get close to him.
A single knife slit the throat of a widow, and blood splattered out. Then he stepped forward and grabbed one of the widows by the neck, pushed him off the city, turned around and punched another one of the widows so that he vomited blood and threw him away, and in a few breaths, seven or eight of them fell at his feet. And his bravery also attracted the attention of the Wako, and more people poured up......
In the space of a quarter of an hour, Cloud had cut two knives, broken a spear, and now picked up an iron rod and brandished it. There were not fifty but thirty of the Japanese who died under his hands, and he was also physically exhausted, and his whole body was soaked, not only with sweat but also from the blood of the enemy. But the enemies around him not only did not decrease, but gathered more and more, and now the people who came over were all boss-level figures, and their martial arts were extraordinary and powerful, obviously they were too conspicuous and received special care.
A blow to the head of a widow bloomed, and the cloud slowly retreated a few steps. Several soldiers stepped up in time to fill in the position, while he gasped violently with iron rods. Taking the opportunity to rest, he looked up and observed the battlefield, the situation was not optimistic, at least dozens of places were broken by the Japanese pirates, and more Japanese pirates took advantage of these gaps to pour in.
After a long period of fierce fighting, the ordinary sergeants had lost their strength, and now they were the men led by Hailong and Zhang Hong in front of them. That group of people in the rivers and lakes are all extraordinary, and they have rich fighting experience, so they can barely resist and not collapse.
And Hailong and Zhang Hong wandered around the battlefield to fight fires, already exhausted. Even Lord Zhou held his sword and commanded the retreating archers, constantly sending out cold arrows. Many civilians also spontaneously organized themselves to transport supplies to the city, regardless of men, women, and children......
While he was watching, a naval soldier was knocked into the air and crashed into himself. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, but the soldier's sternum shattered, a large piece of his chest was sunken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood and was silent. I saw a wolf who was a foot tall and hung zero, with big shoulders and a round waist, brandishing a big gun and stabbing left and right, and the gap was opened in an instant.
