Miyamoto Miyamoto is only a microcosm of the city wall, as the city’s young and strong people become more and more skilled at the simple version of the mandarin ducks formation, the numerical disadvantage of the Japanese invaders in the fight more and more obvious decline, although their individual bravery is far more than the young and strong people, but one plus one is greater than two, the organisation of the strength of the war is more adapted to the war than the individual bravery.
Although the decline of the Japanese invaders is becoming more and more obvious, but the Japanese invaders backed by the siege ladder, continue to have the vitality of the army to join, and still in the brave deaths of the charge.
Killing was the main theme of the city walls, blood and death were the regulars of the walls, and a few vultures circled in the sky, waiting for a feast.
Time slowly passes, and the balance of the war slowly tilts towards the defenders, little by little, little by little ……
Finally!
After more than an hour of fighting, the balance of the war completely tipped in favour of the defenders, and there was not a single standing Japanese pirate on the city walls! The Japanese invaders were completely driven off the city walls, and the second wave of the Japanese invaders’ siege was declared a failure.
“It’s held!”
“We’ve held it!”
The young and strong people on the city leaned on their blades, and with their legs poofed out, they knelt down amidst the bloodstain, turned their faces up to the sky, and cried and cheered.
This was a victory that could only be cried out and not laughed at.
A tragic victory!
The Japanese had left more than five hundred corpses in this wave of attack, while more than four hundred of the city’s young and strong had sacrificed their lives, and most of the remaining young and strong people were also wounded, wrapped in gauze bandages, and their bodies were bloodstained.
Looking around, the city wall is already full of devastation, broken scales and armour, blood flowing into the river, corpses are all over the field ……
“Stone, close your eyes, we held our ground.”
A young and strong citizen knelt on the ground, crying and reaching out to brush his hand over the eyes of his best friend who died in battle, helping his best friend to close his eyes. Beside him, his best friend’s body was already cold, his body was bruised and battered, a feathered arrow at his throat tailed to the heavens, a hacked and curled blade of a war sword held firmly inside his hand, his eyes opened angrily, as if he was still fighting.
“Monkey, let go, the Japanese are dead, the Japanese have been driven down.”
There is a young strong people want to collect the body of the neighbour monkey, but found that the monkey hands tightly choking the neck of a dead Japanese corpses, how to separate can not be separated, had to cry and hard to break the monkey’s fingers, are almost to break the fingers can not be broken, in order not to injure the monkey’s fingers, will be the Japanese corpses’ head cut down, only to separate the two, until the end of the monkey’s fingers are still maintained in the strangulation action.
Such a scene on the city wall, countless ……
“Heroes of Jingnan, go all the way! Forever immortal!”
Zhu Pingan walked on the city wall, saw this scene, couldn’t help but burst into tears, unable to help himself, “plop” kneeled on the city wall, put his head on the ground, pay homage to the people, government officials and soldiers who died on the city wall.
Seeing the governor kneel down to pay tribute to the people who died in battle, the people on the city wall were all touched in their hearts, the governor is an official of the imperial court, how honourable ah, but even cried and wept and knelt down to pay tribute to the people who died in battle.
And then think of the killing, the county magistrate Zhu Pingan a weak scholar, the first soldier, never backed down half a step.
A soldier will die for a friend who understands him.
A strong thought welled up in people’s minds that such a county honourable gentleman was worthy of entrusting our lives to.
“Have a good journey!”
“Forever immortal!”
The crowd followed behind Zhu Pingan and knelt down together to pay tribute to the people who had died in battle on the city walls.
It was now late autumn, and the weather was so hot that it was easy to rot and breed bacteria and viruses, which could cause a plague if one was not careful. In ancient times, medical technology was limited, and the awareness and level of epidemic prevention was low, so if the plague spread, there would be a massive outbreak and unrestricted contagion, and the consequences would be even more terrible than the Japanese ravaging the city.
Therefore, after paying homage, Zhu Pingan ordered a beautiful bamboo forest in Jingnan County to be set up as the “Mausoleum of Jingnan’s Anti-Japanese Heroes”, and commanded the people to bury the officers, soldiers, and young and strong people who died on the city wall in the mausoleum, and to build the mausoleum after the war, and to set up a monument to record the biographies, which would be in the annals of the history of Jingnan and be admired by the people, and would be enjoyed by the people from generation to generation.For generations, they will enjoy the incense and sacrifices of the people of Jingnan County.
As for the corpses of the Japanese invaders, Zhu Pingan had their heads chopped off in front of the Japanese invaders outside the city, and then disposed of them to be burned on the stacked firewood. On the one hand, it was to train the people’s courage and let them see blood; on the other hand, it was to intimidate the Japanese outside the city. The Japanese on the island believed in Shintoism, believing that if their heads were cut off, their souls would not be able to return to their homeland, be reincarnated, or ascend to heaven. Even if they are fake Japanese, as native Ming people, they also pay attention to leave a whole body, so that they can be reincarnated in the next life. Not to mention the bones and ashes. In ancient times, only those with deep hatred, deep sins, and great evils would have their bones and ashes thrown away. This was a nuclear-level heart battle for the Japanese pirates outside the city, causing their hearts to tremble and their souls to fly away.
“With my letter of command, enlist, no, invite the doctors from the medical halls in the county, and ask them to bring medicines such as gold sores medicine, to come to bandage and treat the injured people. All expenses incurred will be credited to the county office, and I will come to the door after the battle to pay my thanks and pay the expenses.”
Zhu Pingan looked at the wounded one by one on the city wall, bandaging their wounds and comforting them to nurse their wounds, noting that the wounded lacked medicine and suffered from trauma, Zhu Pingan took out his own seal from his pocket and made a government servant hold it to go and ask the doctor of the medical centre to treat the wounded.
“Thank you, county magistrate.”
“Thank you, Great Magistrate.”
The injured people were flattered and greatly moved, and they all thanked Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Pingan hurriedly asked the people to refrain from moving, lest they pull their wounds, appreciated the bravery of the people, thanked them for their sacrifices in defending the city of Jingnan County, and comforted them to recuperate properly.
When Zhu Pingan was looking at the wounded, he heard a clamour coming from the steps of the city wall, and looked up to see hundreds of men, women, and children with pots and pans, serving hot meals, carrying baskets of stones in baskets, carrying heavy objects such as door boards, water tanks, beams, and millstones, and carrying quilts and other things, breaking through the blockade, and walking up to the wall at a fast pace.
“Great Master Governor, the little old man has come with the crowd of folks to deliver food to all of you. In order to protect us, you guys fought with the poor and vicious for a noon, and didn’t even drink a mouthful of water, the little old man and the crowd of fathers and mothers saw it in our eyes, and it hurt us in our hearts. We are also people of Jingnan, and we live and die with Jingnan, we also want to contribute to the protection of Jingnan. Governor big lord you quickly eat, we help you defend the city. I heard that it was because of the shortage of stones and logs that allowed these Japanese to climb up to the city, these door slabs, beams, stones, we have plenty of them at home, let’s unload them and carry them up, we can also defend the city.”
The leader was an old man in his seventies, with a head of white hair and a wrinkled face, leaning on a walking stick, he walked up the city wall, and said to Zhu Pingan and the others from a distance.
“Yes, we have lived and died with Jingnan, Great Master Governor, we will help you defend the city, so eat quickly.”
The people behind the old man followed.
Behind them, more and more people poured onto the city walls, lifting their family’s door panels, stones, and other heavy objects onto the walls to assist in defending the city.
