Rise From the Humble

Attacked from above and below, the defenders on the city were raining arrows, and the Zhejiang army's dense and neat firearms caused many casualties to the Japanese pirates.

However, the Japanese pirates were like wolves in a desperate situation, turning around and biting to death.

When Xu Hai broke his disguise and directed the Japanese pirates to attack the Zhejiang army, the Japanese pirates in the city heard the movement and took action.

Xu Hai had given them an order a long time ago. Once they hear the cry of killing outside the city, they should take action immediately without making any mistakes.

One second ago, the Japanese pirates disguised as Ming soldiers were drinking broth and eating fried cakes, and sometimes telling dirty jokes to the surrounding Ming soldiers, looking happy. But the next second, these Japanese pirates were drinking broth and fried cakes in their hands. They threw it in the face of the Ming army. While the Ming army was busy in the hot soup, some Japanese pirates went up and snatched the weapons of the Ming army, while others picked up the weapons they had placed not far away and killed the Ming army. Caught off guard.

The Ming army was poorly trained and weak in combat power. It was no match for the Japanese pirates. However, it was suddenly attacked by the Japanese pirates and almost collapsed at the first touch.

The Ming troops guarding the city were quickly dispersed and retreated by the Japanese pirates, and they fled hurriedly inside the city, or fled back to the city wall.

The Japanese pirates had already made plans. Xu Hai had already given them orders. Once they took action, they would mainly kidnap Ming army officials and occupy the city gates.

At this moment, the Japanese pirates in the city divided half of their troops to seize and occupy the city gate, while the other half of their troops went to the top of the city.

Firstly, the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty were on the top of the city. To capture the thieves, they captured the king first and killed them and held them hostage. Secondly, the Ming army would definitely not sit back and watch them occupy the city gate. They would definitely attack them and simply attack first. Strong; thirdly, attacking the city head can also attract the firepower of the Ming army on the city head and share the pressure for the leaders outside the city.

"Damn it, why did you forget these things in the city! Fortunately, there are soldiers guarding the city. Quickly, you can organize more troops and horses to support us. We must wipe them out quickly and control the city gate to prevent them from causing chaos."

Hearing the chirping of birds and the cry of killing in the city, Magistrate Shang suddenly broke out in cold sweat like a heavy rain. He was filled with regret and hurriedly ordered his lieutenants to organize troops and horses to cooperate with the Ming army guarding the city and quickly eliminate the Japanese pirates who were causing trouble in the city.

However, before the deputy general could organize his troops, he saw that the Japanese pirates in the city had easily defeated the Ming army guarding the city, seized the city gate, and sent half of their troops to charge towards the city.

"Damn it, how come the Japanese pirates are so brave and good at fighting?! Quick, quickly gather the troops in the city and destroy them!"

"Order the two nearby city gates to deploy a thousand troops each to attack the Japanese pirates in the city from the lanes of the city."

"Everyone, for every Japanese pirate they kill, in addition to the reward according to the Holy Spirit's reward, I will also award an additional fifty taels of silver!"

The magistrate Shang was overwhelmed by the Japanese pirates' bravery. He was horrified when he saw the Japanese pirates chopping up melons and vegetables. He hurriedly ordered his deputy general to mobilize the Ming army at the top of the city to wipe out the Japanese pirates. He also sent reinforcements to two nearby city gates. , and also issued heavy rewards to encourage the Ming army to fight.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Stimulated by the heavy reward from Shang Zhifu, the Ming army in the city radiated courage.

Almost all the defenders on the city, especially the archers and gunmen, were mobilized by the deputy general to deal with the Japanese pirates in the city.

This greatly reduced the pressure on Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates outside the city.

"The defenders on the city have no time to take care of us. At this moment, the only enemy is the Zhejiang Army!"

"Today, either they die or we die! Although the Zhejiang Army's firearms are powerful, they are in the wild. They have no shelter and reload slowly. There is only a distance of more than fifty meters between us. If we rush over, they will die. They His firearm is just a fire stick! If we can’t rush through, we will be the ones who die!”

"Gentlemen, do you want to live or die?"

Xu Hai hid behind the Japanese pirates, pulled out his Japanese sword, and shouted at the Zhejiang army on the opposite side who had just fired a round of firecrackers.

"Live! Live! Live!" the Japanese pirates yelled ferociously.

"Then let me charge! Charge over and kill them. Suzhou City is still ours! The glory and wealth are also ours!"

Xu Hai waved the Japanese sword vigorously and gave orders loudly.

"Kill! Die! Die!" A group of Japanese pirates shouted, with red eyes, and rushed towards the Zhejiang Army desperately.

"You trash, what are you still doing? Why don't you give the signal quickly, call in the army, and launch a general attack? Life or death depends on this!"

Xu Hai turned around and gave his cronies a big-eared melon seed, and ordered with such ferocity that the veins on his neck burst out.

Soon, five loudspeakers roared into the sky one after another, and five fireworks exploded in the sky, making them dazzling.

Seeing the fireworks rising into the sky, both Zhu Ping'an and Magistrate Shang understood that this was the Japanese pirates sending a signal to summon an army to attack the city.

When the Japanese pirates scattered at the South Gate, North Gate, Northwest Gate, etc. saw the fireworks signal, they would immediately go to the East Gate to support them.

Estimating the distance, the Japanese reinforcements will arrive in more than 20 minutes at the fastest to support the Japanese pirates at the east gate!

time is limited!

Fortunately, there were only a thousand Japanese pirates outside the city. Just four rounds of fire cannons had reduced the number of Japanese pirates by more than 300 people.

However, the Japanese pirates have already rushed forward without fear of death. The distance is less than ten meters, and the eyebrows of the Japanese pirates can be clearly seen. At most, they will fire one round of firecrackers and they will be in close combat with the Japanese pirates.

"Charge forward, yes, that's it, victory belongs to us! Hahahaha, God bless me, Xu Hai!"

Seeing that the Japanese pirates had rushed in front of the Zhejiang army, Xu Hai, who was in the rear, looked up to the sky and laughed. In his opinion, as long as the Japanese pirates rushed in front of the Zhejiang army and fought hand-to-hand, victory would belong to them. The Zhejiang army's musket It's just a fire stick. It can't kill anyone even if it's knocked. It can only knock out a bag at most.

"Everyone, regardless of the wave, open fire on the Japanese pirates! After firing, fix your bayonets, use sentry as a formation, target the city gate, and occupy the city gate."

Zhu Ping'an saw the Japanese pirates approaching and gave a loud order.

Bang bang bang.

All Zhejiang troops, regardless of their platoon, aimed at the Japanese pirates who were close at hand on the opposite side and pulled the trigger.

In an instant, along with the sound of muskets, sparks erupted from the Zhejiang Army's position, and thick smoke rose.

At this time, the distance between the Zhejiang army's front row and the Japanese pirates was less than ten meters, and the distance between the Zhejiang army's back row and the Japanese pirates was less than twenty meters. It was within the optimal range of the power and accuracy of the fire cannons. The lethality is astonishing.

In an instant, nearly one-third of the Japanese pirates who rushed towards them fell.

However, the remaining Japanese pirates were not afraid of death. They stepped on the corpse of the Japanese pirate who fell to the ground and pounced on him ferociously.

"That's it, victory still belongs to us!"

Although the number of Japanese pirates was severely reduced, with only more than 400 Japanese pirates left, Xu Hai laughed when he saw that the Japanese pirates had already rushed into the Zhejiang army's formation.

However, Xu Hai's smile stopped in the next second. Hey, why was there a weird, narrow and sharp steel bar propped up under the Zhejiang Army's gun? It was nearly one meter long. In an instant, the gun turned into a weird weapon. With their spears, the Zhejiang army's formation became like a hedgehog.

The Japanese pirates in the front row who were not afraid of death and rushed towards the Zhejiang Army's formation were caught off guard and were stabbed through by the Zhejiang Army's dense spears.
