Rise From the Humble - Chapter 1800

Chapter 1800 Japanese pirates attack the city

The actions of the Japanese pirates were really blatant, and they made no secret of their intentions. It didn’t take long for the Japanese pirates who divided their forces to arrive at the east gate, north gate, and northwest gate of Suzhou City one after another.

Last night, the Japanese pirates didn’t do any work at all. They took out hundreds of simple ladders in one night, and the Japanese pirates had more than 30 ladders in front of each city gate.

Last night, the Zhejiang army monitored the rangers in the temporary camp of the Japanese pirates, and did not find that the Japanese pirates felled a large number of trees. I don’t know how they took out more than one hundred ladders.

The action of the Japanese pirates to attack the city was blatant. The rangers of the Zhejiang army who were monitoring the movement of the Japanese pirates on the main roads had already confirmed the movements of the Japanese pirates.

Outside the east gate.

The endless stream of Japanese pirates, carrying simple ladders, came like black clouds pressing down on the city.

Black Japanese pirates, white Japanese swords, ridiculous but terrifying Tsukiyotou, ferocious faces, full of oppression.

“Fuck, it’s the first time I saw so many Japanese pirates, it’s a bit scary, my calves are shaking…”

“Didn’t the Japanese pirates be killed by the Zhejiang army? How come there are so many people?”

“Fuck, the armor of the Japanese pirates looks like a ghost, and there are two long horns, it’s really scary.”

Some timid defenders on the east gate of Suzhou City saw the huge army of Japanese pirates below the city. Not only were they trembling when they spoke, but their calves were trembling, and their hands were trembling so badly that they could hardly lift their knives.

“Shut up! What are you afraid of! No matter how many Japanese pirates there are in the city, they are nothing but mobs. Think about the Zhe Army, the bandits recruited by 800, and the farmers who put down their hoes by 1,200. Killed seven or eight thousand Japanese pirates! It is enough to prove that the group of Japanese pirates in front of us is a group of birds, the Zhejiang army can do it, there is no reason we can’t do it!”

General Wang sat at the east gate, and when he saw the terrified bears of the soldiers under his command, he couldn’t help but cursed, and cited the example of the Zhejiang Army to boost the morale of the soldiers under his command.

To be honest, he still has some dissatisfaction with the Zhejiang Army. How long has the Zhejiang Army been training, and they have achieved such great results.

In his opinion, the reason why the Zhejiang army achieved such a brilliant victory yesterday was that apart from the sharp firearms of the Zhejiang army and the fact that they planted a huge amount of explosives to assassinate the Japanese pirates, the quality of the Japanese pirates should not be very good.

The Zhejiang army can win a big victory!

No reason, we can’t do it!

General Wang felt a little excited at the moment, the time to make meritorious service has come! The time to get promoted and get rich has come!

Since this gang of Japanese pirates is not very good, isn’t that just the military exploits sent from heaven?!

Zhu Pingan offended Mr. Yan Ge at the beginning, and was demoted to a small county in Jingnan as the county magistrate of Zhima. Isn’t it because of a series of military exploits that he was able to make a comeback and become a fourth-rank official?!

The brilliant military achievements of the Zhejiang Army yesterday will surely help him go one step further and reach a higher level.

I can’t let him eat the meat by himself. If he eats meat, we can share a piece. Besides, hehe, my appetite has always been good. One piece or two can’t satisfy my appetite. This time I want to be full…

Outside the east gate, Xu Hai rode a tall horse, trotted the horse, circled the city gate twice from a distance, called his confidants, pointed to several positions on the city wall with his whip, and ordered them to attack the city. Order.

The Japanese pirates outside the North Gate and the Northwest Gate were led by Chen Dong and Ma Ye respectively, and they all gave orders to attack the city one after another.

As for the Japanese pirate army in front of the Zhejiang army, they gave full play to their strength and surrounded the Zhejiang army’s position from a distance. They sent more than a thousand Japanese pirates from the north and south, and slowly approached the Zhejiang army’s position.

Four battlefields, the war is imminent.

Outside the east gate.

It is not easy for the Japanese pirates to attack the city. The first obstacle they have to face is the moat. A moat outside Suzhou City is winding with gurgling water, protecting Suzhou City like a patron saint.

At this moment, the bridge over the moat has been demolished, leaving only two stone piles standing alone at the head and tail of the bridge.

The Japanese pirates who attacked the city came to the moat without haste. Hundreds of brave Japanese pirates ignored the cold water, took off their clothes, and jumped into the cold moat wearing only dirty white short-nosed pants.

“What are the Japanese pirates doing? Did they commit suicide by jumping into the river?” Seeing this scene, the defenders on the city were a little dazed.

“Hahaha, are they going to jump into the river to liven up the tense atmosphere?” Someone laughed.

“The Japanese pirates are going to build a bridge!” The experienced officers and soldiers shook their heads and corrected in a worried voice, “It is winter, the dry season, and the water level in the moat is not deep. The Japanese pirates can build a simple pontoon bridge.”

“General, we can’t just watch the Japanese pirates build the pontoon bridge. Before they build the bridge, let’s open the door and send people to guard the shore to prevent arrows from building the bridge. If the Japanese pirates can’t build the bridge, let’s see how they attack the city. I would like to lead three hundred archers and two hundred sword shields out of the city, and I will not let the Japanese pirates build a pontoon bridge!”

Vice General Liu saw that the Japanese pirates were going to build a pontoon bridge, so he hurriedly asked General Wang for his advice.

“No! At this time of dry season, the moat is not deep, and the Japanese pirates come across the sea, and their water quality is superb, just like these Japanese pirates who jumped into the moat, once the city gate is opened, the Japanese pirates may brave the cold to jump across the river at any time, and go straight to the city gate. We must not take this risk before we find out the quality of the Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates are brave and you lose, you will die in vain. If the city gate falls, you will be to blame for death!”

General Wang shook his head and rejected Vice General Liu’s proposal.

Although he wants to make meritorious service, he doesn’t want to take risks.

So, the defenders on the city ignored the Japanese pirates who were building a pontoon bridge outside the city, and watched the Japanese pirates build a pontoon bridge.

The Japanese pirates on the bank pushed special tree trunks into the river, and these trunks were sharpened at one end.

The Japanese pirates in the river took over the trunk on the bank, put the sharpened end down, and rammed it into the bottom of the river.

Tree trunks were erected in the river at a distance apart, from one end of the river bank to the other end of the river.

Then, the long tree trunks were pushed into the river again, and the Japanese pirates in the water tied them to the vertical tree trunks to form the skeleton of the pontoon bridge, then tied the crossbars, and put planks, branches and straw on them.

After a while, a simple pontoon bridge appeared on the moat.

The Japanese pirates followed suit and built three adjacent pontoon bridges in one go.

Then, the army of Japanese pirates who attacked the city stepped on the pontoon bridge and crossed the moat without haste.

“Kill! You bastards, break through the city gates, and the gold, silver, jewels, and girls are all yours!”

“Kill it!”

“Kill!”

After crossing the moat, a group of Japanese pirates rushed towards Suzhou City, shouting and screaming under the order of the big and small heads, holding their shields and shouting to kill.

A ladder was also set up by Japanese pirates and rushed towards the city wall.

“Arrows! Arrows!”

“Don’t worry about rocks and logs, just throw them down for me! Smash these **** Japanese pirates to death!”

“Siege crossbow, shoot! Damn, don’t shoot indiscriminately. Is a soldier worth a city defense crossbow? I aimed at the leaders of the Japanese pirates who are in command. They are only worth a city defense crossbow!”

General Liu was wearing armor, carrying a long knife, and under the protection of his own soldiers raising shields, he went back and forth on the city wall, shouting and commanding.
