Rise From the Humble

The battle was going on at the top of the city. The Japanese pirates were not afraid of death and desperately attacked the city. The stone steps leading to the city were covered with corpses. Blood was like a stream, flowing down the stone steps and pooling at the bottom of the city. A river of blood.

Most of these corpses and tears and blood belonged to the defenders on the city, and only a small part belonged to the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates, who did not occupy a large area, only killed less than a hundred people, but they killed the garrison at the top of the city with their heads rolling down and their corpses strewn across the steps.

The defenders at the top of the city were frightened by the Japanese pirates. Magistrate Ren Shang raised the bounty twice, but it did not have much effect. The defenders at the top of the city retreated step by step after being killed by the Japanese pirates, and the city was crumbling.

Without external force, the fall of the city is a foregone conclusion.

According to the ferocious offensive of the Japanese pirates, if the defenders could last longer than just a cup of tea, the city would fall.

"Damn it, there's no sign of the reinforcements yet. How can we still support them? Is God going to destroy Suzhou?!"

The grizzled magistrate Shang looked around desperately, but he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of despair when he saw no sign of reinforcements.

"That's all, that's all. I still have an unshirkable responsibility for this calamity. Zihou warned him many times. Although he paid attention to it, he didn't pay enough attention to it. His control was not strict, which led to today's calamity. I have no face to face Zihou. I have no shame to face the Holy Emperor and am ashamed of the great favor of the Emperor. If Suzhou falls, I will go with the city of Suzhou."

Magistrate Shang desperately pulled out the sword in his hand, murmured to himself, and was ready to kill himself as an apology after the city fell.

Just when Magistrate Shang was in despair and full of the will to die, he suddenly heard a burst of cheers from the soldiers around him.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements, it's the Zhejiang Army, the Zhejiang Army is coming." The soldiers at the top of the city jumped for joy.

Magistrate Shang looked down excitedly, and sure enough he saw hundreds of Zhejiang army officers and soldiers holding firecrackers rushing out of the city gate.

The Zhejiang army's fire blunderbuss also had strange blades, steel bars as thick as thumbs, with sharp front sections and a cold light.

There were real Japanese and fake Japanese on the stone steps. The fake Japanese could understand the joyful shouts of the defenders, but the real Japanese could not understand Chinese. However, judging from the excited look of the defenders, they guessed that they were probably from the Ming army. When the reinforcements arrived, they hurriedly turned around and looked back, and sure enough they saw hundreds of Zhejiang troops blocking their way back and rushing up the stone steps.

"Dead, dead!"

The Japanese pirates were attacked from both sides and became even more fierce. They actually allocated half of their troops to rush towards Liu Dadao and the others.

They just killed the defenders like chickens, giving them a sense of accomplishment, pride and superiority. Thousands of defenders on top of the city were chopped up like vegetables and melons by them. There were only a few hundred officers and soldiers under the city, which was not enough for them. Gap between teeth.

They were convinced that a single charge would resolve the battle.

So, half of the Japanese pirates screamed confidently, holding knives in both hands, and rushed towards Liu Dadao and other Zhejiang troops.

"First wave, aim and prepare!"

When Liu Dadao saw the Japanese pirates rushing down, he calmly ordered his soldiers to divide into three waves under the stone steps, one wave with three rows, and three waves with nine rows.

Since the stone steps are relatively narrow, only eight soldiers can stand side by side on one level. If they fire on the stone steps, the firepower will be relatively insufficient.

At this moment, the Japanese pirates rushed down on their own initiative and did themselves a big favor. If you deploy troops under the stone steps, you can have multiple soldiers in one row, and the firepower will be much more than sufficient.

When the Japanese pirates were about to rush forward and the hair on their faces could be clearly seen, Liu Dadao shouted, "Fire!" and directed the first wave of soldiers to fire at the Japanese pirates.

The first wave of soldiers heard Liu Dadao's order and immediately pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang"

The Zhejiang Army's signature dense and neat sound of firecrackers sounded, and the Japanese pirates were so fast that they could reach the Zhejiang Army's face. The Japanese pirates suddenly fell like falling wheat, falling into large pieces. There were more than ten people in front of the Zhejiang Army. The stone steps were cleared of Japanese pirates.

Nearly half of the Japanese pirates who rushed down fell under this wave of fire.

The corpse of the Japanese pirate rolled down the steps and landed at the feet of the Zhejiang army, with blood flowing down.

It was so efficient and violent. In just a blink of an eye, the firecrackers went off, and half of the Japanese pirates who rushed down fell to the ground.

In this era, this is the unparalleled aesthetic of violence.

The surviving Japanese pirates who rushed down from above were so shocked by this scene that their hearts stopped and they could no longer breathe.

Damn it, what happened just now? Why did all the comrades in front suddenly fall down and fall into the street? !

This scene reminded them of the scene in front of the Fengqiao Camp a few days ago, the terror of being dominated by the gunfire of the Zhejiang Army.

For a moment, he was stunned in place.

The Japanese pirates were startled, but the Zhejiang army was not. The first wave of soldiers ignored the corpses of the Japanese pirates rolling at their feet and retreated skillfully and smoothly. The second wave of Zhejiang soldiers quickly stepped forward, raised their muskets, aimed and fired, all in one go.

There is no need for Liu Dadao to direct them at all. They have trained this set of procedures tens of thousands of times, and it has already formed a memory in their bones.

The Japanese pirates who were stunned on the stone steps suddenly became a living target.

bang bang bang

After the neat and dense firecrackers of the Zhejiang army were fired again, there were less than ten Japanese pirates still standing on the stone steps in front of them.

Half of the seven souls and six souls of these Japanese pirates have flown.

Facts have proved that the Japanese pirates are brave and brave, but they are still afraid of death. The reason why they seemed not afraid of death before was because the Zhejiang army that was against them could not bring them the fear of death, which made them appear brave and not afraid of death.

When the God of Death stood in front of them and greeted them, they were equally frightened and their souls flew out of their minds.

Seeing that there were only less than ten Japanese pirates left, Liu Dadao didn't want to waste his muskets on these Japanese pirates. He reserved these muskets to deal with the Japanese pirates above, so he waved his hand and ordered, "First Three waves of soldiers rushed towards me and killed them with bayonets! The soldiers of the first and second waves quickly reloaded their gunpowder!"

After Liu Dadao finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed towards the Japanese pirates with his sword in hand. The third wave of Zhejiang troops followed Liu Dadao and rushed forward with bayonets in hand.

Seeing Liu Dadao rushing up, the Japanese pirates at the front came back to their senses from the violent aesthetics of the fire gun. They shouted ferociously and swung their swords at Liu Dadao.

Liu Dadao turned his head slightly to avoid the Japanese knife, and with one straight thrust of the knife, he sealed the Japanese pirate's throat with one blow.

The Japanese pirate's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe that he was not the enemy of Akito. You must know that when he attacked the city just now, he killed at least five Akito defenders.

There is no point in believing it anymore, it is the fact. The world in his eyes is upside down, and he falls like a dead dog.

A row of eight Zhejiang troops followed behind, marching in neat steps, followed closely by Liu Dadao, who also rushed up, aiming at the remaining Japanese pirates and stabbing forward heavily.

Several Japanese pirates occupied positions scattered and fought independently. No matter how they were the opponents of the Zhejiang army, they soon fell like dead dogs like the previous Japanese pirates.
