MTL - Rise From the Humble-Chapter 1807 Danger

  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.

  Therefore, Zhu Pingan wrote two more letters, passing 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, there are old and young, the head of Yue Dai is clearly visible, carrying a ladder, and heading straight for the city wall.

  The scene reappeared just like yesterday.

  The defenders on the city wall, under the command of the general, shot bows and arrows, threw 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 no longer 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 make meritorious service again.

  Although the defenders on the city also suffered casualties, 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 as a general, I don’t 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.

  I have my own soldiers to guard me, and I have chain mail made of a lot of money. Ordinary open and hidden arrows can't hurt me.

   "Concentrate bows and firearms and aim at their archers. These Japanese pirates don't have a long memory, and they are still old-fashioned. If they kill their archers, 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, shouting orders, directing the officers and soldiers on the city to set fire to the archers below the city.

   Seeing the Japanese pirates in the same formation as yesterday, but with more archers, General Wang disdains the Japanese pirates under the city even more.

  The Japanese pirates had no combat power, and the Japanese pirates at the front of the siege 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 only cover the city with an archer after three rounds of attacking the city.

   It can be seen from this that, from top to bottom, this group of Japanese pirates has no one who can fight, that is, the military exploits delivered 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 pirate archers are useless, so I have the courage to greet the Japanese pirates in the city."

   "Rolling stones, wood, throw them all down for me, anyway, I don't want a penny from you, don't save me!"

  General Wang witnessed the destruction of the Japanese pirate archers, and excitedly ordered the officers and soldiers in the city to reap the Japanese pirates below the city and reap military merits.

  Just like yesterday, rolling stones and trees fell like rain, and the screams of the 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.

  Based on his decades of experience in fighting on the battlefield, this group of Japanese pirates is too powerful, and the leader is also incompetent. 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 did not believe ten thousand of Shangzhifu's reminders, 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.

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

  Shangzhifu told himself not to go out of the city to pursue them. If he went out of the city to chase the Japanese pirates at this time, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Shangzhifu? !

  If you offend Shang Zhifu, the lord of Suzhou Prefecture, your 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 most worthy.

  Do you want to go out of the city to pursue it?

  General Wang was hesitant, and there was a battle between heaven and man in his heart, 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 Japanese 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 diverted his attention to the outside of the city.

Sure enough, following what the lieutenant pointed out, General Wang saw a group of six Japanese pirates in full armor, wearing shields and pushing a cart, coming straight towards the city gate. It was visible to the naked eye. They were black iron **** 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.

   Danger, danger, danger!

   If this is close to the city gate, it will be fine!

  General Wang's hairs stood on end, cold sweat poured from his forehead, and he hurriedly ordered loudly, "Quick, quick, quick, shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows, and shoot the Japanese pirates pushing the 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 the city is worrying. There are so many people, but 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 pirates were still pushing the cart, and quickly approached the city gate, less than 80 meters away from the city gate.

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

  General Wang hopped his feet anxiously.
