The sun has set in the west, in a blood red afterglow, Nabeshima Naono, Matsuura Sanbanro led fifty-seven Japanese invaders swaggering along the official road straight towards Yingtian City, walk leisurely to the extreme, reaching out and pointing to not far from Yingtian City, laughing and joking, not like attacking the city, on the contrary, it is like a spring excursion.
The Japanese pirates walk leisurely, but Yingtian city is leisurely not up, they look at the city outside the leisurely leisurely walk to the Japanese pirates, such as the enemy, a fear of nervous scalp numbness, heartbeat accelerated.
Every time the Japanese invaders’ leisurely steps approached the city, the tension and fear of the officials and people on the city increased by one more point.
When the Japanese invaders appeared a stone’s throw away from the bottom of Yingtian City, and their hideous faces could be seen clearly from the city, the panic on Yingtian City reached its peak.
This group of Japanese invaders was arrogant and horrible, the leading Japanese chief was wearing a gorgeous Japanese-style armour decorated with red texture, holding a cold and shining Japanese sword, the most frightening thing for the crowd was that this marquis even held a bright yellow parasol and rode a captured warhorse, which was very visually appealing.
Zhang Huanggai, the red riding horse!
This is how much weapon Zhang ah, Zhang Huanggai this is the emperor’s dependence, this group of Japanese invaders into the Yingtian accompanied by the capital has greatly hit the face of the Ming Dynasty, and now the head of the Japanese surprisingly usurped the emperor’s dependence on the gang, this is not an ordinary hit the face of the Ming Dynasty’s face on the soles of the feet of the friction of friction and friction ah!And also especially will Jiajing emperor’s face also stepped on a foot hard, and heavily spit a mouthful of thick spit.
The officials on the wall of Yingtian city saw the Japanese chief’s line, one by one, they all turned pale, they understand that once this current scene is reported to the case of Jiajing Emperor, the thunderous wrath of the Emperor is afraid to be doubled and doubled again.
The wrath of the son of God, a million corpses, present in a group of colleagues of the hat, I’m afraid I don’t know how many can’t keep it!Originally, the Japanese soldiers committed Yingtian City, South Zhili, Jiangsu and Zhejiang officialdom of the black hat will have to fall a large number, and now the Japanese sheikhs are so overstepping the bounds of the law, which is afraid that the black hat will be more than double more than ah……
The Japanese scourge of how many people, these officials feel deep not much, that is just a number, at most send a few words of deplorable feelings just, but now the relationship to their hats, they feel to the bottom of their lungs.
“Woe ah woe!Woe is coming!”
“The Japanese sheikhs dare to insult my Ming like this!Such a madman deserves death by a thousand cuts!Your Majesty, I’m sorry, Your Majesty!”
“If the Japanese chief is so arrogant, His Majesty will be furious, what should we do now?What can we do now?!””
The group of officials present were as if they had lost their parents, beating their chests, much more nervous and fearful than the common people.
In addition to the head of the Japanese, the rest of the Japanese pirates were also dressed in hideous and ghastly Japanese armour, and were armed with Japanese swords, taijutsu, and other chilly, hideous and ghastly blades. The Mediterranean-style hairstyle of the Japanese invaders looked like evil ghosts in hell to the officials and citizens on the city, the swords held by the Japanese invaders were almost twice as long as the waist swords of the Ming army, and the long bows on the backs of the Japanese invaders were almost as high as a man’s height, which was even more hideous, and it made the officials and citizens on the city walls lose their courage.
In addition, this group of fierce Japanese champions also pulled three carriages, the carriages covered with black linoleum cloth, do not know what is covered underneath. While the officials and people on the city wall were frightened, they were also curious about what the Japanese were pulling. ”
“What are the Japanese pulling?Gunpowder?!Does it mean they want to use gunpowder to blow up the city blockade?!”
Someone muttered in a low voice.
However, people were not very worried about this speculation, for one thing, the Japanese were not good at getting close to the city wall to blast it, and secondly, the gunpowder was limited in power. These three carts of gunpowder seemed to be a lot, but they couldn’t blow up the city walls. Indeed, the power of gunpowder in this era is limited, the proportion of the formula is not the same as the modern black powder, the gunpowder formula of this era is also mixed with some dandelion sand, poisonous smoke and other messy miscellaneous substances, the ratio is not pure, the power of the blasting difference of more than one hundred thousand eighty thousand miles. ”
“Could it be that what the Japanese are pulling is grain and provisions?”
The people on the city considered this possibility again, speculating whether what the Japanese invaders were pulling could be their grain and grass provisions. Could it be that the Japanese were preparing for a long siege and attack on Yingtian City?!!!But they only had about fifty men, even if they were able to fight. Besides, the Japanese invaders did nothing but killing and looting, so where did they need provisions? If they were hungry, they would just go to the neighbouring villages and towns and loot them, which was what they had always done.
Therefore, people are also sceptical about this kind of speculation.
What exactly was pulled on that Japanese wagon? The crowd on the city wall was in fear and speculation.
The answer was soon revealed.
After the Japanese invaders reached the bottom of the city, they drove the carriage onwards.
“Release the arrows! Release the arrows! Don’t let the Japanese bandits get close, don’t give them a chance to pull off any tricks!”
“Release arrows!”
Shi Pengfei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and several generals shouted almost in unison, ordering the defenders to release arrows!
Whoosh!
The Ming troops on the city wall released arrows in response.
At once, a wave of feathered arrows flew down, not enough to be effective really not to be complimented, about only one-fifth of the feathered arrows belonged to the normal level, the other two-thirds of the feathered arrows were either shot too close, or were too far off the mark.
The Japanese looked at the Ming army’s feathered arrows and laughed, they are not nervous at all, because they have long estimated the distance it, in the Ming army a arrow outside the stop, the Ming army’s feathered arrows only one-fifth of the feathered arrows in front of them two or three metres out of the ground, the other either weak and weak has long been on the ground, or deviated from a hundred thousand eighty-thousand miles.
“Only one-fifth of the feathered arrows barely get by, huh, is this the capital camp forbidden army of the Great Ming? The level of archery is not much better than the county soldiers! It seems that the Great Ming forbidden army is not enough to worry about.”
Matsuura Sanbanro roughly counted the number of feathers and arrows, pulled the corner of his mouth, and let out a disdainful scoff.
“Hehe, this trip to Yingtian was not in vain, the Da Ming forbidden army is just like this, mostly incompetent people. In the future, Your Highness can rest assured that you will be able to come with as many troops as you can.”Nao Nabeshima followed suit and laughed out loud.
“The official army of the Great Ming is not enough to worry about, but the city of the Great Ming is really tall. Such a huge city is truly an eye-opener for me, I once followed my family governor to Shangjing, but Shangjing is far inferior to this.”
Matsuura Sanbanro looked at Yingtian Castle and lamented.
“Hehe, even the tallest city will be captured one day, no matter what. Let us try this time.”Nao Nabeshima licked his lips, turned his head and waved his hand at the Japanese who were driving the cart, ordering, “Give the gift to the Ming people.”
A few of the Japanese who drove the carts gave a hi-hat and slapped the horse’s rump hard, driving the horse forward while lifting the linoleum hard.
“Hahaha, Ming people, we came all the way here, slightly prepared a thin gift, no respect, but please smile at your work.”
Nao Nabeshima gave a loud laugh and shouted loudly to the officials and citizens on the corresponding heavenly city, laughing in an unusually hideous and ghastly manner.
After the horse’s arse was patted, the frightened front run, the linoleum was uncovered by the Japanese again, and what was on the carriage was suddenly reflected in the eyes of the officials and people on Yingtian City.
“Ah? Human heads, it’s human heads!”
“Oh my god, it’s even all human heads, scared the hell out of me ……”
“Ah ！！！！！”
After the crowd on the city wall saw the three carts full of human heads, they lost their voices uncontrollably and shrieked, the panic instantly gifted a hundred times! Gutsy officials and citizens, a lot of them were scared to wet their trousers, and there was even a weak official who was so scared that his eyes rolled over and fainted to death. Surrounding people are slapping and pinching, after some operation rescued, but the panic atmosphere again steeply, like the plague spread, instantly spread in the city.
