The Japanese attacked Andergate directly, and the pressure on Andergate increased so much that the soldiers were in a frenzy as they fired arrows at the
The soldiers were in a hurry to shoot arrows at the bottom of the city.
However, the Japanese have been in the battlefield for a long time and have rich experience in killing, they did not get together, but approached the gate in a scattered and serpentine position, making it difficult for the Ming army to aim at them, and the Ming army’s archery skills were diluted, and a large number of arrows were shot down, which looked spectacular, but the operation of a meal was as fierce as a tiger, and the performance of the score of two hundred and fifty-five at a glance did not do any substantial harm to the Japanese invaders, and only made the Japanese invaders have to be careful of the feathered arrows on the city, and their positions were a bit ludicrous.
While dodging the arrows, the Japanese invaders were able to shoot cold arrows and iron cannons from time to time, and they were able to get their hands on them almost every time.
It didn’t take long for eight Ming soldiers to be killed by the Japanese, and more than ten Ming soldiers were wounded by the Japanese.
As the Japanese became more and more arrogant, the Ming troops became more and more terrified, and the panic on Andaman was suffocating.
It was only after Yu Daxian led reinforcements to arrive, especially after the reinforcement of the cannons, that the arrogance of the Japanese was restrained for a few minutes.
“Where are the Great General’s cannons, quickly aim a few cannons at the Japanese outside to kill their arrogance!”A general ordered loudly.
On the city, ten hands moved the cannon racks, put wooden pillows on them, moved the barrels, aimed at the Japanese under the city, loaded the gunpowder, put in the lead cannonballs, and held the torches close to the fire rope fuses, and ignited them.
“Good, this time to give the Japanese Silence some colour to see!”.
Seeing that the great general’s cannon was deployed, the Ming army gathered up, gathered around the cannon and looked down to the city, expecting to see the scene of the cannon blowing up the Japanese invaders.
The artillery had a large killing area, unlike the cannons and feathered arrows that were point to point, and it was difficult for the Japanese to dodge them by walking away.
So the Ming troops were looking forward to it.
Boom!
There was a shocking loud bang!Like a world-destroying thunder boom exploded in the ears.
There were screams of misery!
The Japanese under the city ……were startled, but there was no damage, on the contrary, the Ming army on the city did suffer heavy deaths and injuries.
The screams were from the city.
It turned out to be the opening of the cannon of this great general gun is not used for many years, plainly poor maintenance, the first gun blew up. Due to the dense Ming army nearby, the cannon blew up instantly killed five Ming army, seriously wounded eight people, slightly wounded more than ten people.
“The first gun blew up, this is not a good sign.”.
“This isn’t a warning from heaven, is it, suggesting that we can’t hold Yingtian and want us to run away early?”.
“Even the Great General’s Cannon is helping the Japanese Champion, how can we still defend this city?”.
The city screams, the impact of the cannon blowing up is far more than just physical damage, it also caused a tonne of spiritual damage, for a time, the city walls are in fear, a voice of decline.
“Bullshit, what the sky warning, Yingtian can not defend! That one who dares to talk nonsense and disturb the military mind again, will be killed without amnesty!”The military colonel waved his whip and fiercely lashed at those who sang negatively.
After a flurry of whips, the voices of those who sang bad words were extinct.
However, the military colonel’s flick only made people stop talking, the compactness inside people’s heart was how to get on.
“Release pigeons, urging the ground ten thousand to slow down Yingtian!”
“Step up to conscript the people to guard the city ……”
A life now from the city wall passed down.
The walls of the city is terrified, inside the city is even more terrified, especially when the officials forcibly conscripted the people to defend the city, the city’s fear is more explosive, many people are determined to resist the walls of the city to assist in the defence.
In the beginning of man, nature is private, the human heart is selfish, the selfless is really a small corner. This is the real inner thought of the common people, to go to the city wall and face the murderous Japanese invaders, how dangerous it is, how safe it is under the city, there are people on the city blocking it, if the Japanese invaders broke through Yingtian City, then at least half a day more than the people on the city to live.
Therefore, many people resisted to go up to the city wall, and when they were conscripted by the officers and soldiers, they cried and hanged themselves, and some of their family members even splashed and rolled around, and only when the officers and soldiers put their swords and knives on their necks did they reluctantly go up to the city wall.
Of course, there are still many people with high ideological awareness, very cooperative and even take the initiative to go to the city walls to assist in the defence.
For example, these beggars and shrews in front of us.
“Master, sir, we are the beggars in the city, we don’t do any production, it’s the folks in the city who gave us rice, flour, money and grain to feed us, we have been benefited by all the folks in the city, we don’t want to pay back to the folks all the time, it’s just that poorly, we don’t have any silver, we don’t have anything and we don’t have the ability to pay back. Now that the Japanese are attacking the city, the opportunity has come for us to return the favour to all the folks in the city, we will join the defence of the city, fight the Japanese to the end, and vow to die in return for the kindness that all the folks in the city have done for us in surviving!”
A short stature, clothing cedar sill floor, with a broken hat but long and strong beggar again, leading a group of about eighty beggars, took the initiative to find the general in charge of conscripting the people under the city, with a sincere face, asked to participate in the co-defence.
“We want to report Si, they want to participate in the co-defence, is to give up this life, but also can not let the Japanese invaders step into Yingtian half a step! ”
“We want to fight the Japanese invaders!We are not afraid to die, and we are not silver, as long as we give mouth leftovers.”
“Back then I came here as a refugee, fortunately Yingtian fathers and mothers took me in, the leftovers fed me, today it’s time for me to repay the favour. We are willing to guard the city for Yingtian fathers and mothers, if the Japanese want to enter Yingtian, unless they step over us.”
The head beggar’s words fell behind, and the crowd of beggars behind him all stepped forward as well, speaking in a chorus of voices and volunteering to help.
The general and colonel who conscripted the people swept his eyes over the crowd of beggars, these beggars were all male, one by one, ragged and unkempt, tall, short, strong and thin, but all between twenty and forty years of age, all of them in their prime, and they could not help but be moved. The beggar still knew how to be grateful, and took the initiative to ask for help in defending the city, it was really rare and precious.
“Us, and us.”
After this group of beggars, another group of landlords and scoundrels came running, also numbering around seventy to eighty people, shouting as they ran.
“What are you going to do? The Japanese are present, if you guys make trouble, don’t blame me for not being polite.”The general frowned, so many of this group of ruffians and scoundrels were familiar to him, they were all bad guys who usually roamed the streets, loitering, sneaking around, provoking trouble, and molesting good women, so naturally, he didn’t have a good impression of them.
“Bah, don’t look down on people, we can also tell the good from the bad, my lord, we also want to participate in the defence of the city. On weekdays, we’ve caused trouble and inconvenience to our folks, now that the Japanese are here, here’s our chance to atone for our sins.”
A land ruffian stood out, spat a mouthful of thick spit, patted his chest hard, and said with a loud voice.
“We didn’t do much good in our day-to-day life, and our folks looked down on us, but now I’ll show you that we’re also bandwagons! We know we’re wrong, we want to atone for our sins, we’re good too!”
“There are Japanese pirates out there, and we will kill them to wash away the shame on us and impress our folks.”
“I’ll defend the city and kill the Japanese, today I’ll show you whether I, San San of Shangshifang, am a good man!”
The crowd of land ruffians also spoke in a chorus, resolutely requesting to participate in defending the city to kill the Japanese invaders.
As the general looked at the land ruffians in front of him who took the initiative to ask for help, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and was somewhat impressed with them.
Knowing one’s mistakes and being able to change them is a good thing, and the return of the prodigal son is not a bad thing.
What’s more, each one of these gangsters are also young and strong, and they are also bold people in their ordinary life.
The general could not help but be moved.
