The rise of the poor

Chapter 1807 Dangerous
After Zhu Pingan received the letter from Feige sent back by Liu Mu and the others, he was even more sure of what he thought in his heart. The Japanese pirates just wanted to lure the defenders in the city out of the city.

So, Zhu Pingan wrote two more letters, sending the investigation situation to Suzhou City with two flying pigeons, and once again warned.

Not long after the two pigeons flew to Suzhou City, the Japanese pirates who had been silent all night started to move again.

In the morning light, the Japanese pirate army outside the east gate, north gate, and northwest gate was dispatched, densely packed with people, carrying ladders, carrying shields, longbows on their backs, holding Japanese knives, firecrackers and other weapons, shouting and killing. Coming to the city gate
The Japanese pirates holding a longbow stopped tens of meters away from the city wall, pointed their bows at the defenders' arrows on the city wall, and succeeded in covering the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates rushing to the front, some old and some young, with Yue Dai's head clearly visible, carrying a ladder, heading straight for the city wall.

Just like yesterday's scene reappeared.

Under the command of the general, the defenders on the city wall fired bows, arrows, stones and rolled logs at the Japanese pirates who succeeded in the city.

They have already had the experience of repelling the Japanese pirates twice, and they are not as scared as they were the first time when facing the Japanese pirate army attacking the city.

General Wang at the East Gate was not only not afraid when he saw the Japanese pirates attacking the city again, but even excited and looking forward to it.

You can do meritorious service again.

Although the defenders on the city also suffered casualties, but once the generals are successful, their bones will be wiped out. This has been the case since ancient times, isn't it?

I am a general, and I am a general who is kind and does not command soldiers. The soldiers under my command die as soon as they die, and I just need to add them later.

Anyway, it wasn't me who died.

He has his own soldiers to protect him, and he has chain mail made of a lot of money. Ordinary open and hidden arrows can't hurt him.

"Concentrate bows and firearms and aim at their archers. These Japanese pirates don't have a long memory, and they are still old-fashioned. Kill their archers, and they will be lambs for slaughter, and they will be the military exploits of inserting bids and selling heads!"

General Wang ran back and forth on the city wall, ordering loudly, commanding the officers and soldiers on the city to set fire to the archers under the city.

Seeing that the Japanese pirates formed the same formation as yesterday, except that the number of archers was increased, General Wang became even more disdainful of the Japanese pirates under the city.

The Japanese soldiers had no combat power, and the Japanese pirates who attacked the city were clumsy. Some of them were not in time for the project.

The leader of the Japanese pirates was also resourceful and indecisive, and his command ability was low. He would cover the city with an archer after three rounds of attacking the city.

It can be seen from this that from top to bottom in this group of Japanese pirates, there is no one who can fight, that is, the military merits sent to them.

He, Zhu Ping'an, can jump from a seventh-rank sesame county magistrate to a fourth-rank official, isn't it just military exploits again and again? !
This time, good luck also favored me, Wang Tieqiang. If I don't want the military merits sent to my door, my ancestors will call me an unworthy descendant.

Soon, the officers and soldiers on the city concentrated their bows, arrows, firearms, etc. on the Japanese archers below the city. This time, the Japanese archers were even worse than yesterday. Half of them were shot to the ground before they even drew their bows.

"The Japanese pirates' archers are useless, so I have the courage to greet the Japanese pirates in the city."

"Rolling stone, Mumu, throw them all down for me, anyway, I don't want you a penny, don't let me save it!"

Seeing the destruction of the Japanese pirate archers, General Wang ordered excitedly to command the officers and soldiers on the city to ruthlessly harvest the Japanese pirates below the city and reap military merits.

Just like yesterday, rolling stones and trees fell like rain, and the screams of Japanese pirates under the city continued one after another, causing casualties all over the place.

For a while, the Japanese pirates suffered heavy casualties, at least hundreds of corpses were left behind, and the Japanese pirates were about to withdraw their troops just like yesterday.

General Wang looked unwillingly and scrupulously at the Japanese pirates outside the city who were about to retreat, hesitating whether to lead the troops out of the city to reap a wave of military exploits.

Judging from his decades of experience in fighting on the battlefield, this group of Japanese pirates is too powerful, and the leader is also incompetent, and he is definitely not his opponent;However, Shangzhifu's warning of "Beware of Japanese pirates' fraudulent defeat, don't go out of the city to chase after them" is still in my ears. After all, Shangzhifu is a civil servant of the fourth rank, and the highest official in Suzhou Prefecture. In this bird life, the status of civil servants is comparable to their military officers The height is too high, and Shang Zhifu will still give it to him.

Although General Wang didn’t believe the 1 reminders from Shangzhifu in his heart, although General Wang firmly believed that it was just that Zhu Pingan was worried that they, veterans on the battlefield, would steal merit, and deliberately used these words to scare Shangzhifu, in order to prevent them from leaving the city. Chase down the Japanese pirates to ensure that Zhu Ping'an's reputation as the number one military exploit this time.

But, still the same sentence, Shang Zhifu still has to give face.

Only then did Shangzhifu tell him not to go out of the city to pursue them. If he went out of the city to pursue the Japanese pirates at this time, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Shangzhifu? !

If he offends Shang Zhifu, the master of Suzhou Prefecture, his life in Suzhou Prefecture will not be easy.

However, there are not many opportunities to reap military merits like this. I heard that the Japanese pirates are very fierce, and such useless Japanese pirates are rare.

If you go out of the city to pursue them, you will be able to capture many heads of Japanese pirates. Even if you are not as good as Zhu Pingan, you will be the second one.
Do you want to go out of the city to pursue it?

General Wang was hesitant, and in his heart, heaven and man were at war, and various thoughts came one after another, competing for supremacy in his mind.

"General, it's not good. Look, what's on the cart pushed by the pirates? The round ones, are they shells?"

At this moment, the deputy general's anxious voice sounded, interrupting General Wang's battle between heaven and man, and diverting his attention to the outside of the city.

Sure enough, following what the deputy general pointed out, General Wang saw a group of six Japanese pirates, all in full armor, wearing shields, pushing a cart, coming straight towards the city gate. It was visible to the naked eye. They were black iron balls the size of a sheep's head, and they were anything but cannonballs. After a rough count, there were as many as a dozen of them.

Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous!

If this is close to the city gate, it's okay!
General Wang's hairs stood on end, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead. He hurriedly ordered loudly, "Quick, quick, quick, shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows, and shoot the Japanese pirates pushing carts to death. They must not be allowed to approach the city gate."

Suddenly, a group of archers in the city shot arrows at the Japanese pirates pushing the cart.

However, the level of archers in Naihe City is worrying. With so many people, not many arrows hit the target.

In addition, even if a few arrows hit the target, the Japanese pirates are fully armored and have shields on them, so they have no effect on them, and there is no threat.

The Japanese pirates were still pushing the cart, and quickly approached the city gate, which was less than 80 meters away.

"The general cannon, aim at the Japanese pirates pushing the cart, and shoot me!"

General Wang jumped his feet anxiously.
