Rise From the Humble

Reality did not give the ninja an extra second of mental activity. Almost immediately after the bell rang, someone in the city started shouting.

"Quick, quick, the bell is ringing. There is a situation below the city. Quickly raise the fire and shout to warn people."

After this voice, several people in the city quickly shouted, "Come quickly, there is a situation below the city."

Then, I saw torches lighting up on the city wall, and someone holding a torch leaned out to shine down the city.

He leaned out just above the head of the ninja who was holding the bell.

"idiot!"

The Japanese pirate below the city cursed lowly, and flicked his wrist at the defender who leaned out. The hidden arrow weapon tied to his wrist was activated, and a steel needle shot out, hitting the forehead of the defender who was looking at the situation from the city wall. .

"ah"

The defenders on the city screamed and fell from the city.

When the defender fell into the city, he was still holding a torch in his hand. When he landed, the torch illuminated the trajectory of his fall to the ground.

The ninja who was the instigator on the city wall, as well as the string of grasshopper-like Japanese pirates under him, were nowhere to be seen.

All were exposed to the eyes of other defenders.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, Japanese pirates are climbing the city wall." The defenders on the city wall shouted hurriedly after seeing the string of Japanese pirates.

The surrounding defenders rushed over and used their bows, arrows and stones to greet the Japanese pirates who had exposed their traces.

Although their accuracy was not great, there were so many of them, so many stones and arrows rained down.

The ninja is indeed a ninja, and his skills are really good. He can climb on the city wall and move left and right to avoid arrows and stones. But again, there are a lot of arrows and stones falling on the city wall.

After dodging several fatal attacks, the ninja was finally hit by a big rock. He resisted for a while, and then was hit by the second and third boulders. He screamed and fell off the city wall, falling into a puddle of flesh.

The string of Japanese pirates under him had been smashed and shot to death by the defenders' rocks and arrows long before he was smashed to pieces. Several Japanese pirates even tried to escape by jumping off the city wall, but they didn't realize that they were so far away from the ground. It was so high that they almost died after jumping. Before they could get up, they were hit and shot to death by numerous rocks and arrows.

Only the two Japanese pirates at the bottom, who were only five meters above the high ground, saw that something was wrong, so they slid down the rope. Their palms were bruised by the rope, and they managed to escape with a small life.

The warning bell on the city wall was also rang hard by the defenders, and a loud "bang, bang, bang" sound resounded through the sky.

Zhu Pingan, the monk and prefect, rushed to this section of the city wall as soon as he heard someone shouting about an enemy attack. The distance of three hundred meters was not far. Zhu Pingan ran all the way and quickly arrived at the scene.

Magistrate Shang is old and has weak legs and feet. After Zhu Ping'an arrived, he was still chasing after him breathlessly.

"Report, sir, there was a group of Japanese pirates who tried to climb the city wall to attack at night. They hit the bell hanging on the wall and exposed their whereabouts. Zhang Er held a torch to look down and was killed by the Japanese pirates' hidden weapon. We avenged Zhang Er. This group Only two of the Japanese pirates who climbed the wall escaped, and we smashed or shot the rest to death."

After Zhu Pingan arrived at the scene, the surrounding defenders all reported to Zhu Pingan the situation of Japanese pirates climbing the wall to attack at night.

"Quick, throw a torch down every three meters around you. There should be more than one Japanese pirate climbing the wall to attack at night."

"Bows, arrows, firecrackers, stones, and troughs are all ready. Once traces of Japanese pirates are found, attack immediately!"

After Zhu Pingan heard this, he quickly ordered everyone. The Japanese pirates climbed the wall to attack at night, so how could they only pass through this place.

Huhuhu

The torches were thrown down one after another, and the torches fell freely, and the firelight illuminated the falling trajectory.

In an instant, the other four Japanese wall-climbing teams were exposed to the public with no way to hide under the light of torches.

The moment they saw the Japanese pirates, rocks, arrows, and blunderbuss rained down one after another, and the defenders also threw plant ashes down at the same time.

The Japanese pirates hanging in mid-air on the city wall were unable to advance or retreat, and had no power to fight back. In front of the flying vegetation ash, stones, feather arrows, and blunderbuss, they could only scream and fall down the city wall, falling into puddles of flesh.

Only the ninja at the top could hold on for a little while, using the power of the grappling hooks on his hands and feet to dodge and dodge. One ninja in particular was extremely brave. After evading several deadly stones and feather arrows, his hands and feet He then charged diagonally in the direction of Zhu Ping'an like an ape, hoping to capture the thief first and capture the king first.

However, he obviously overestimated himself, and was pierced through the body by a spear thrown by Liu Dadao just halfway through the charge.

Liu Dadao almost used all his strength when throwing. After the spear penetrated the body of the ninja, his remaining strength was not reduced. He rushed down the city wall with the ninja, and also penetrated the unlucky Japanese pirate below, nailing him to the bottom of the city wall like a candied haws. .

Like the first group of Japanese pirates, of these four Japanese pirates, only the bottom ones were so low to the ground that their flesh and blood were bruised by their palms. They slid to the ground and limped away into the night. Under the cover of darkness, I managed to escape with a small life.

However, they were only able to escape for a while. Xu Hai and the others had already sharpened their knives to prepare for them.

As early as when they raised fire and shouted warnings on the city wall, Xu Hai and others knew that tonight's night attack had failed.

If this night attack fails, someone must take the blame...

Greedy for life and afraid of death, you escaped in the face of battle. How could you escape the failure of this night attack? ! Then lend me your brains!

By the time Magistrate Shang rushed to the scene panting, the night attack encounter had already settled.

There were many burning torches under the city wall, which vaguely illuminated the dead bodies of Japanese pirates under the city wall.

Let Magistrate Shang understand that there was a real fight just now.

"Zihou, is this over? Will the Japanese pirates come again?!"

Magistrate Shang looked at the corpses of Japanese pirates scattered under the city wall and asked Zhu Ping'an breathlessly.

"Sir Shang, the Japanese pirates' night attack has ended. Just now, about three hundred Japanese pirates tried to climb up the wall from five places on this section of the city wall to attack at night. Fortunately, our arrangement worked. The Japanese pirates who climbed the wall hit the alarm bell and were exposed. The soldiers scrambled for their lives and wiped out these Japanese pirates, only about a dozen of them escaped."

Zhu Ping'an simply answered Magistrate Shang's question.

"This night attack failed, and the Japanese pirates will not come again. As I expected, the Japanese pirates will withdraw tomorrow. Of course, to be on the safe side, we must stick to the arrangements we made before evening, and we must not slack off in the night patrol."

Finally, Zhu Pingan emphasized that the arrangements for the evening must be adhered to and not slackened at all to avoid accidents.

"Yes, what Zihou said is absolutely true. You all listen carefully. Everything will be carried out according to Master Zhu's instructions."

Magistrate Shang repeated to his officials and soldiers.

"As commanded."

After experiencing today's incident, all the officials and soldiers have already been convinced by Zhu Ping'an.
