Rise From the Humble

Although they were wearing cloth breastplates, standing high and covered by walls, as the Japanese pirates counterattacked, the government officials and soldiers defending the city walls soon began to suffer casualties. After a round of arrows, six people were killed by arrows and five were wounded.

Although the Japanese pirates suffered more casualties and lost more than 50 people, the Japanese pirates were outnumbered and their losses were only a drop in the bucket.

But for the defenders with only a hundred men, the loss of these eleven men was a serious injury.

"Pay attention to your position, be careful of stray arrows, and shoot arrows behind the crenels!"

Zhu Pingan loudly reminded everyone to pay attention to their positions and try to stand behind the city wall crenellations and shoot arrows through the crenel openings to avoid being shot by Japanese pirates.

The female walls on the periphery of the city wall are built into concave and convex wall stacks, and there is a square hole in the wall stacks. The function of the wall stacks is to provide a place for the defenders on the wall to avoid arrows when defending the city. The defenders can observe the military situation outside the city through the small holes in the parapet wall, and can also shoot arrows through the small holes to kill the enemy.

Under Zhu Ping'an's reminder, the government officials paid attention to their positions and hid in the crenellations of the wall to fire arrows. The casualties suddenly dropped sharply.

However, this is just the beginning.

After several rounds of arrow rain, the Japanese pirates began to attack the city in a large scale. The elite Japanese pirates jumped to the front row of the army and threw flying claws and ropes onto the city wall. Like monkeys, they began to climb up the city wall along the ropes.

The flying claws and ropes used by the Japanese pirates were soaked in paint, and the government officials and soldiers could cut them with knives. The Japanese pirates climbing directly below cannot be shot from the crenel mouth. Leaning forward to release arrows will easily become the target of the Japanese pirates below.

"Smash it with stones, pour gold juice on it..."

Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an loudly ordered everyone to smash stones and pour hot golden juice down the rope.

The yamen servants and soldiers obeyed the order, picked up the stones, smashed them down, and poured down the hot golden juice that had been cooked in advance.

"Kill!"

"Smash you to death, you little turtle grandson!"

"I'll give you extra food to feed you! No need to thank grandpa!"

The shouts of murder on the city shook the sky, the stones were like hailstones, and the hot and smelly gold juice was like pouring rain.

No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives; no matter how good your skills are, you will be knocked down by a brick. Although those who use hooks and ropes to climb the city wall are elite Japanese pirates, during the climb, their martial arts skills can only be used at most 20%. If you avoid one stone, you cannot avoid two. Even if you avoid the stone, facing the city The scalding golden juice splashed on top can only make people dumbfounded.

In an instant, the city was filled with screams.

The Japanese pirates who climbed were like dumplings, being knocked down by stones and scalded with golden juice. They were thrown down from the city walls. Their orifices were bleeding and they screamed in agony.

The Japanese pirates who did not climb down the city were also stoned to death. In fact, the stones were not bad. One stone could kill one person at most. The Japanese pirates with quick eyesight and good skills could still avoid it, but the gold juice was different. It was poured on the city. The golden juice is like rain. How can you avoid this thing? The hot golden juice will burn a Japanese pirate at once.

"It's hot, it's burning me to death..."

"My scalp has been burned off. It hurts. It hurts me to death."

"It hurts. My skin has been burned open. Damn, what is this? Why is it so smelly? It can't be feces and urine, right?!"

The Japanese pirates also had half-bald Tsukiyo haircuts, and they wore very little. Their upper bodies were in single clothes, with their arms open, and their lower bodies were only crotch pants. Many of them were barefoot, and the gold juice poured down on their skins immediately. After contact, the lethality of the golden juice was amplified several times. The Japanese pirates were burned until their skin and flesh were split open, and they rolled all over the ground, screaming like ghosts.

Hearing the screams below the city, the morale of the city was greatly boosted, and the government officials and soldiers worked harder to throw stones and splash gold juice.

The screams from below the city became more and more shrill.

The falling rocks and golden liquid were so fierce that the Japanese pirates were already thinking of retreating due to their casualties. No matter how large the bounty is, it must be paid with orders. The Japanese pirates originally thought that Jingnan County was like other counties and could be easily attacked. The defenders were as weak as chickens, and they were as weak as chopping vegetables and melons. , it was easy to get the bounty. Who would have thought that Jingnan County could be so tenacious, especially when the city was splashed with unknown stuff, which was smelly and hot, and the skin would be torn open if it touched it at all, and the wounds would be so painful and itchy that it was unbearable. It was simply a nightmare.

Soon some Japanese pirates who cherished their lives put their ideas into practice and retreated. The chain reaction was the same, causing many Japanese pirates to retreat.

"Baga! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy."

The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro stepped on the ground and jumped out suddenly. The Japanese sword in his hand flashed with white light and slashed across the neck of the first Japanese pirate to retreat. Blood spurted out and a head rolled to the ground.

A lot of blood was sprayed on the face of the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro, but Heihachiro didn't care at all. He stretched out his tongue and licked the blood, with a smile of enjoyment on his face. The smile was as hideous and terrifying as the god of death.

"You backed away too, right?"

Heihachiro looked behind the first Japanese pirate who retreated, and appeared in front of the second Japanese pirate who retreated like a teleport. He narrowed his eyes slightly, curved his lips, and looked at the retreating Japanese pirate gently and asked.

Although Heihachiro's voice is gentle, the gentler he is when combined with the steaming blood on his face and the Japanese sword dripping with blood in his hand, the more terrifying he looks to outsiders.

"I uh." The Japanese pirate trembled. As soon as he said the word "I", before the next words came out, he snorted, his eyes widened in pain, and he looked down like a puppet.

A Japanese sword was inserted into the heart, and the owner of the Japanese sword was Heihachiro, the leader of the Japanese pirates.

Blood spattered onto Heihachiro's face again. Heihachiro didn't blink his eyelids. He used another force on his hand. The Japanese sword instantly penetrated the back of the retreating Japanese pirate. After piercing the heart of the retreating Japanese pirate, Heihachiro flexibly rotated the handle of the knife in a circle with his wrist. , when he pulled out the Japanese sword, he picked out the heart of the retreating Japanese pirate.

The Japanese pirate who retreated could only watch as his heart was picked out by Heihachiro, and he fell to the ground with a desperate cry.

"The heart of a coward is as tender and fresh as a weak chicken"

The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro put the heart on the tip of the knife into his mouth and chewed it, with blood dripping from the corners of his lips.

"Who else among you wants to back off?"

The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro chewed the heart while scanning the Japanese pirates with cold eyes.

"Don't dare!"

"Don't retreat!"

All the Japanese pirates lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Heihachiro, let alone say anything.

"Then don't let me attack the city. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy! I want to have lunch at the Jingnan County Government Office!"

The Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro had a ferocious face, swung the bloody Japanese sword towards the county town, and shouted murderously.

"Break the city!"

"Kill!"

Under the supervision of their leader Heihachiro, the Japanese pirates roared again and threw themselves at the wall of Jingnan County desperately.
