Hu Zongxian was humiliated, clenched his fists, angry, angry and disappointed, but because of the Cherry Orchard before the defeat is too bad, and no backhanded sneer of the bottom, the only thing that comes to mind is a classic national curse: vertical son, not enough to conspire with!
Just as Hu Zongxian was disappointed, a resounding voice sounded not far from him, lifting his spirits.
“My lord, I request the order to lead the 300 elites under my command to go out of the city to exterminate this group of sinful Japanese pirates!”
The cry was deafening and rare in the midst of a panic.
Hu Zongxian turned his head to see Yu Dayou asking Zhang Jing, Eunuch He, and Duke Wei to fight.
Fortunately, there is General Yu this understanding person ah!He understands the situation, knows military affairs, and has the bravery of the three armies!Hu Zongxian could not help but praise in his heart.
“No!Never!”
As soon as Hu Zongxian’s words fell, an official stood out like a bereaved mother to stop it, “Lord Hu led more than 1,000 heavily armed elite warriors to fight in Cherry Orchard, and they were all defeated by the Japanese, and almost couldn’t come back!General Yu, you’re going down there with only 300 men, what chance of victory do you have?If anything were to happen to you, General Yu, it would be a fatal blow to the defence of the city. Lord Hu’s Cherry Orchard Grand Jubilee has already dealt a great blow to morale, see if you, former General, lose another battle, how can this city still be defended!”
“That’s right, don’t do it, don’t do it! We can’t repeat Lord Hu’s mistake.”
Many officials chimed in.
“No, no, no, what are you guys doing mentioning this official over and over again? What’s the point of mentioning this official over and over again? Hu Zongxian’s teeth were almost clenched, this feeling was like being pulled out again and again to be flogged!
Under the advice of a group of officials, Zhang Jing adopted the opinion of the majority and did not agree to Yu Dayou going out of the city to fight the Japanese invaders, but pacified him by letting him hold on to the city walls to defend against the Japanese invaders.
“Alas!”
Hu Zongxian let out a sigh, can only watch the Japanese under the city to show off their power, from time to time tend to close to the city to put cold arrows, cannons, the casualties on the city, although very small, less than ten people in total, but the panic is increasing suddenly.
Finally, the city’s panic to an uncontrollable degree, there are signs of collapse, Zhang Jing and Duke He, Duke Wei and other high-level discussion for a moment, after consulting Yu Dayou and other generals, urgently issued a number of orders:
“Conscript the people to guard the 13 main city gates in turn!”
“Open the armoury and issue swords, guns and shields to the people defending the city!”
“Anyone who comes off the city walls without permission will be killed without pardon!”
Soon, the people in the city were mobilised, voluntarily or forcibly going up to the city walls and picking up the long swords and spears distributed to assist in the defence.
The movement on the city was soon noticed by the Japanese below the city!
“Sanbanro, look, the city has conscripted the people to defend the city! Isn’t it time to send a signal to get Matsushita to co-operate in seizing the gate?”Nabeshima Naono excitedly came to Matsuura Sanbanro and asked with an eager face.
“General Naono do not be anxious, Ming only just enlisted the people to defend the city, Matsuo they are not necessarily mixed to the gates to assist in the defence, give them some more time, the opportunity is only once, must be foolproof is good!”
Matsuura Sanbanro shook his head slightly, and softly explained to Nabeshima Naono.
“Yelsea, that makes sense.”Nabeshima Naono sniffed and nodded vigorously, feeling that Matsuura Sanbanro’s words made sense.
“General Naoyao, I just carefully observed the Ming army’s various city gates’ armouring, and found that Yingtian Ande Gate’s city wall was built narrower than the other city gates, with limited space, the Ming army can put in a limited number of defenders, and the Ande Gate’s city gates are relatively old, so there is a chance to take advantage of it, so why don’t we use the Ande Gate as a breakthrough!”Matsuura Sanbanro pointed to the Ande Gate in the distance, and suggested to Nabeshima Naoyo after some analysis.
“Not bad, I also noticed it just now. Then let’s choose Andromeda Gate as the breakthrough.”Nao Nabeshima nodded.
“In that case, why don’t we tentatively attack the lower Ande Gate to put pressure on the Ming army to focus on conscripting the people to assist in the defence of Ande Gate, which will also create an opportunity for Matsuura and the others to assist in the defence of Ande Gate.”
Matsuura Sanbanro suggested to Nabeshima Naoyo.
Nabeshima Naono did not hesitate to adopt Matsuura Sanbanro’s suggestion and gathered all the Japanese soldiers.
“Gentlemen, the accompanying capital of the Great Ming is close at hand, and we will be the Yamato warriors with the best hope of conquering the Great Ming’s accompanying capital! Success is close at hand, and I hope that all of you will serve and die! When you succeed, you’ll have wealth and status beyond your wildest dreams! Now, we are one step away from success! Next, we’ll feign an attack on the Andaman Gate to create an opportunity for Matsushita and his men. Remember, this is a feint, not to take the gate, but to deter the Ming army! The Ming army has set up a large number of iron cannons and bows on the walls, so be careful, and on the basis of preserving yourselves, you will be successful if you kill a few of the Ming army with your longbows and iron cannons!!!”
Nao Nabeshima shouted to a group of Japanese pirates as if he was playing chicken blood, emotionally excited.
“Hi!”The crowd of Japanese soldiers bowed their heads and led the order.
“Good, charge with me!”With a wave of his Japanese sword, Nabeshima Naono took the lead and killed towards the Ande Gate.
“Kill give give!”A crowd of Japanese pirates followed Nabeshima Naonan, shouting hideously as they killed towards the Ande Gate!
The number of Japanese pirates was limited, and their every move was in the realisation of the Ming army, and when the Japanese side moved, the Ming army noticed.
The Japanese only ran for more than ten metres, Yu Dayou judged the target of the Japanese, shouted out, reached out and pointed out a few generals, “The Japanese have attacked the city, the target is Ande Gate, you, you, you, and you, each lead a post of troops and horses, quickly follow me to reinforce Ande Gate!”, marshalling troops to reinforce Anders Gate.
“Don’t save the feathered arrows, don’t care if they are accurate or not, all of them shoot down to the city for me!”
“Japanese archery skills are high, pay attention to evasion when you shoot arrows! Shield soldiers, protect the archers at all times!”
“Gather rolling stones and logs, and boil down the golden juice ……”
“Transfer cannons from the neighbouring Little Ande Gate and Fengtai Gate to reinforce Ande Gate!”
“Where are the cannons? Fire two cannons at the Japanese!”
Hu Zongxian ordered one after another while running towards Ande Gate.
As the Japanese killed towards Ande Gate, the panic on the city walls rose once again, panicking and in chaos.
“Damn it, who was the one who said that the Japanese bandits only dare to show off underneath the city and don’t dare to actually attack the city?!”
“That’s right, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand! No one hit you as a mute!”
Officials on the city wall saw the Japanese kill straight to Andaman Gate, scared pale, looking at Hu Zongxian pointing and cursing.
Yes, Hu Zongxian did say something similar just now.
But ……
Hu Zongxian clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, the heart has long been cursed open, you a naive than, Laozi is to see you scared to death, purposely relieved your heart, kind lies understand ah, if it is not the old man relieved you, you have long been scared fainted for the third time! Good intentions as a donkey’s liver and lungs!
“Where are the King’s reinforcements? Didn’t I tell you to send reinforcements to all places?”
Seeing that the Japanese are killing the Andaman Gate, but there is no sign of reinforcements outside the city, Zhang Jing couldn’t help but question the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs with a black face.
“Sent, as soon as Your Excellency commanded, we sent! To be on the safe side, every place was sent twice, and the sentry riders sent a full hundred of them.”The Ministry of War official replied in a resigned manner.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing’s face darkened even further.
