Chapter 1171 Jingnan Battle Report Shocks the City (Part 2)
Although it was heard that Jingnan County was defended again, the people at the banquet still did not have any hope for Jingnan County.
How many people can there be in the Jingnan defenders? There were only a hundred or so in total. In the last wave of Japanese pirates attacking the city, although Jingnan was able to defend the city, it suffered heavy losses. Can there still be thirty or fifty people now? !
The absolute disparity in strength between the offensive and defensive sides made them firmly believe that Jingnan will undoubtedly fall!
"After the Japanese pirates were defeated in attacking the city, they cut down trees and trees to make siege ladders," Tan Ma Xiaobing continued to report.
Sure enough!
The Japanese pirates learned the lesson of the rope being burnt when attacking the city with flying claws last time, and stepped up cutting down trees and building siege ladders. When the Japanese pirates' siege ladders are completed, it will be the time when Jingnan County will fall!
Everyone at the banquet has "seen" the ending of Jingnan County!
"At this critical moment, Zhuzhi County told a story that mobilized the whole city to defend the city."
Tan Ma Xiaobing reported.
"What story? What story did Zhuzhi County tell? Can the whole city be mobilized to defend the city?!"
"Exactly, what story has such great power?"
Hearing Tan Ma Xiaobing's report, everyone at the banquet couldn't help but be full of questions. They were very curious about what story Zhu Pingan told.
"At that time, someone suggested that Zhuzhi County prayed to gods and worship Buddha to resist Japanese pirates. Zhu Zhixian told this story. Zhu Zhixian said that there was a very devout Buddhist in the past. One day he encountered a big difficulty, so he went to the temple to worship as usual. Guanyin Bodhisattva, begging Bodhisattva to help him resolve difficulties. When he entered the temple to pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva, he found that there was a person on the futon beside him praying to Guanyin Bodhisattva. He found that this person looked very similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva, just like Guanyin The Bodhisattva Buddha seemed to be alive, so he asked curiously, "Are you Avalokitesvara?" Avalokitesvara replied, "Yes." Buddhists asked in puzzlement, "Since you are Avalokitesvara, why do you worship yourself?" ?' Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva replied, 'Because I also encountered difficulties, but I know that it is better to ask God than to ask myself!'
Unable to agree with everyone, Tan Ma Xiaobing had to stop and tell everyone the story Zhu Pingan told. Thanks to the interesting story Zhu Zhixian told, and his memory is not bad, otherwise this meeting would be embarrassing.
"Is it better to ask God than to ask yourself?!"
What a good one, it's better to ask God than to ask yourself!
"Praying for God is worse than asking for oneself! Zhu Zhixian's words are really shocking! No wonder the people in the city can be mobilized."
After Tan Ma Xiaobing told about the ancient times, everyone at the banquet was full of emotion, and they were very moved by this story.
"After Zhuzhi County finished telling the story, he impassionedly told the people in the city that it is better to ask God than to ask oneself. Now the people who can save Jingnan are the fathers and villagers themselves. Although there are more than 3,000 Japanese pirates, there are 30,000 people in Jingnan County. As long as you folks stand up to defend the city, Jingnan County will be able to defend it! But if, if we don't defend the city, Japanese pirates will kill us with knives! Kill our parents, wives and children! Our bones said: 'Look, this is a coward without balls!' After Zhu Zhixian finished speaking, all the people in the city shouted 'defend the city', and the sound of battle was as loud as a beating."
Tan Ma Xiaobing had a good memory, and basically recounted Zhu Pingan's mobilization words at that time.
"Okay! Move it with emotion and understand it with reason! Zhu Zhixian's words are good."
"I can't help but feel excited when I hear it now! No wonder the people in the city have been mobilized."
Everyone at the banquet was deeply moved.
Tan Lun, the magistrate of Taizhou, turned his gaze to the direction of Jingnan County, and a gleam of light flashed in his dark eyes.
"Zhuzhi County selected two thousand young and strong people to defend the city wall, and asked the rest of the people to help collect and transport stones and other supplies for the city. Zhuzhi County ordered the two thousand young and strong people to register and make a promise: after the war, everyone Ten taels of silver will be rewarded; those who are injured will be rewarded with an extra ten taels of silver; those who died in battle will receive an additional fifty taels of compensation. In addition, after this battle, all those who think of serving as errands in the county government will be given priority."
Tan Ma Xiaobing continued.
"Huh? Why does it feel like Jingnan can hold on?!" Hearing this, someone at the banquet murmured softly.
"That's enough. There are too many Japanese pirates. Although Jingnan mobilized the people to defend the city to make up for the disadvantage of insufficient troops, they are all ordinary people after all. How can they be the opponent of the murderous Japanese pirates?!"
Soon the person next to him shook his head.
"Yes, Zhuzhi County has tried its best, but it is far from enough. Although there are many people, there are only thirty or fifty soldiers left guarding the city, and the remaining two thousand are ordinary people who have not experienced fighting on the battlefield. How can 30 or 50 soldiers mobilize more than 2,000 people?! Once the Japanese pirates start attacking the city, most of the people who have not experienced war will be terrified when they see the scenes of swords, swords, and life and death. Standing up, climbing up the city wall, it would be a one-sided massacre."
"Well, the people are fine as support, but if they are the main force to defend the city, how can they hold it?! The recruits who have been trained for several years go to the battlefield for the first time, and they are so scared that they pee their pants, and they dare not attack Japanese pirates with knives chop, let alone ordinary people."
Except for a very small number of people who have a glimmer of hope for Jingnan, the vast majority of people are still not optimistic about Jingnan.
"Shortly after the mobilization of the people in Zhuzhi County, the Japanese pirates began to attack the city. Before attacking the city this time, the Japanese pirates first killed more than 500 people in front of the city. When the people in the city were frightened, they attacked the city aggressively. "
When Tan Ma Xiaobing reported here, he couldn't help clenching his teeth. He had a distant relative who was among the people who were killed.
Hearing this, everyone at the banquet couldn't help gnashing their teeth and sighing. The Japanese pirates took advantage of the fact that the defenders in the city were ordinary people who had never experienced war, and intentionally killed people in the city to intimidate them.
Why!
The Japanese pirates hit seven inches above the city!
The people who held a glimmer of hope for Jingnan County at the banquet, now that glimmer of hope is also shattered.
"Seeing that the young and strong people guarding the city were frightened by the Japanese pirates killing them in front of the battle, Zhu Zhixian stood up, holding up the shield and striking with the hilt of a knife, while running back and forth on the city wall, shouting at the frightened people. Dao, brothers, behind us are our parents, wives and children, and we have nowhere to go! If we are not strong, who will protect them! It is a man, rise up with me! Many years later, when you are sitting under the tree basking When the sun is shining, your sons and grandsons curiously ask you what you did when you were young. You don't have to blush and falter and say that your grandpa and I were shoveling **** in the field. You can stare into their eyes, loudly, Proudly, tell your children and grandchildren, say: Son, your grandfather and I fought side by side with Zhu Pingan, the magistrate of Jingnan County, on the city wall of Jingnan County to fight against Japanese pirates! Thousands of vicious Japanese pirates were killed. We drove down the city wall and saved Jingnan!" Tan Ma Xiaobing narrated emotionally, "After Zhu Zhixian shouted, all the people cheered up, straightened their backs, and faced the attack. None of the Japanese pirates in the city retreated. They drove the attacking Japanese pirates off the city wall again and again, and defended Jingnan County again and again. Attacking the North Gate, but they were all seen through and defeated by Zhuzhi County. The Japanese pirates encountered bloodshed in Jingnan, and more than half of their troops were lost, and the corpses piled up into mountains. Finally, they evacuated Jingnan overnight. Jingnan County was defended! A total of Japanese pirates were captured Level seven hundred and ninety-five!"
What? !
Jingnan not only defended? ! Also won 795 heads of Japanese pirates? !
Tan Ma Xiaobing's report was like igniting explosives, and the surprised voices of everyone at the banquet almost knocked the roof off!
