Chapter 1831 Hand to hand combat

Fighting up and down, the defenders on the city rained feather arrows all over the sky, as well as the dense and neat firearms of the Zhejiang army, causing many casualties to the Japanese pirates.

However, the Japanese pirates, like a wolf in a desperate situation, turned around and bit them desperately.

When Xu Hai tore off the disguise and directed the Japanese pirates to kill the Zhejiang army, the Japanese pirates in the city heard the movement and also attacked.

Xu Hai had given them an order a long time ago, once they heard the shouts of killing outside the city, they would do it immediately without any mistakes.

One second ago, the Japanese pirates pretending to be the Ming army were still drinking broth and oil cakes, and sometimes chatting with the surrounding Ming army about some nasty jokes, looking happy, but the next second, these Japanese pirates took the broth and oil cakes in their hands. Throwing it on the face of the Ming army, while the Ming army was in a hurry in the hot soup, some Japanese pirates went up and snatched the weapons of the Ming army, and some picked up the weapons they had placed not far away, and killed the Ming army. One was caught off guard.

The Ming army was under-trained and weak in combat power. They were no match for the Japanese pirates, and they were suddenly attacked by the Japanese pirates, and they were almost defeated at the first touch.

The Ming army guarding the city was quickly scattered and retreated by the Japanese pirates, and fled in the city in a hurry, or fled back to the city wall.

The Japanese pirates had a plan long ago, and Xu Hai had already given them an order. Once they did it, they would mainly hijack the high officials of the Ming army and occupy the city gate.

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

Firstly, the high officials of the Ming people are all on the top of the city. To capture the thieves, first capture the king, and go up and hold them hostage; secondly, the Ming army will definitely not sit back and watch them occupy the city gate, but will definitely attack them, so they simply strike first. Strong; thirdly, attacking the top of the city can also attract the firepower of the Ming army at the top of the city and share the pressure for the leaders outside the city.

"Damn, why did you forget about these things in the city! Fortunately, there are guards and soldiers under the city. Quickly, you organize some soldiers and horses to support them. Be sure to wipe them out quickly and control the city gate to prevent them from making trouble."

Hearing the sound of birds singing and shouting for killing in the city, Shang Zhifu suddenly broke out in cold sweat like a rainstorm, feeling remorse, and hurriedly ordered the lieutenant to organize troops to cooperate with the guarding Ming army in the city to quickly wipe out the Japanese pirates who made trouble in the city.

However, before the lieutenant general organized his troops, he saw that the Japanese pirates in the city had easily defeated the guarding Ming army below the city, seized the city gate, and even allocated half of their troops to charge towards the top of the city.

"Damn it, why are the Japanese pirates so brave and good at fighting?! Hurry up, gather the troops on the city and wipe them out!"

"Order the two nearby city gates to dispatch one thousand troops each to attack the Japanese pirates in the city from the alleyways."

"Everyone, every time you kill a Japanese pirate, in addition to rewarding according to the reward from the Holy One, this officer will reward you with an additional fifty taels of silver!"

Shangzhi Mansion was overwhelmed by the bravery of the Japanese pirates. Seeing the Japanese pirates cutting down the Ming army like melons and vegetables, he was terrified. He hurriedly ordered the deputy general to mobilize the Ming army at the top of the city to wipe out the Japanese pirates, and sent reinforcements to the two nearby city gates. , Also promulgated heavy rewards to encourage the Ming army to fight.

It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Stimulated by the heavy reward from Shangzhifu, the Ming army on the city was full of courage.

The defenders on the city, especially the archers and musketeers, were almost all mobilized by the lieutenants to deal with the Japanese pirates in the city.

This immediately relieved 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 will die or we will die! Although the Zhejiang Army's firearms are powerful, they are in the wild. They have no shelter and are slow to reload. There is only a distance of more than 50 meters between us. If we rush over, they will die. The firearm is just a fire stick! If we can't rush through, we will die!

"Gentlemen, you will live or you will die!"

Xu Haiwo stood behind the Japanese pirates, pulled out the Japanese sword, and shouted at the Zhejiang army who had just finished firing a round of firecrackers.

"Health! Life! Life!" the pirate yelled ferociously.

"Then let me rush! Go over there and kill them. Suzhou City is still ours! The splendor and wealth are also ours!"

Xu Hai swung the Japanese sword forcefully and gave orders loudly.

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

"Trash, why are you still standing still, don't send out the signal quickly, call the army to come, launch a general attack, life and death depend on it!"

Xu Hai turned around and gave his confidant a big-eared melon seed, and ordered fiercely, the veins on his neck burst out.

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

Seeing the fireworks flying into the sky, no matter Zhu Pingan or Shang Zhifu, etc., they all understood that this was the Japanese pirates sending a signal to summon an army to attack the city.

The Japanese pirates scattered at the South Gate, North Gate, and Northwest Gate saw the fireworks signal, and they would definitely support the East Gate as soon as possible.

Estimating the distance, the Japanese pirate reinforcements will come to support the Japanese pirates at the east gate in about 20 minutes at the earliest!

time is limited!

Fortunately, there are only a thousand Japanese pirates outside the city. Just four rounds of firecrackers reduced the number of Japanese pirates by more than 300 people.

However, the Japanese pirates have already rushed up bravely, the distance is less than ten meters, and the eyebrows of the Japanese pirates can be clearly seen. At most, one more round of firecrackers will be close to the Japanese pirates.

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

Seeing that the Japanese pirates had rushed to the front of the Zhejiang army, Xu Hai behind him laughed out loud. In his opinion, as long as the Japanese pirates rushed to the front of the Zhejiang army and fought hand in hand, the victory belonged to the Japanese pirates. The firecracker of the Zhejiang army was just a gun It's just a fire stick, and it can't kill people even if it is knocked out. At most, it can knock out a bag.

"All, regardless of the wave, all fire at the Japanese pirates! After firing, put on the bayonet, use the whistle as an array, target the city gate, and occupy the city gate."

Zhu Ping'an saw the Japanese pirates close at hand, and ordered loudly.

Bang bang bang.

All Zhejiang troops, no matter which row they were in, all aimed at the Japanese pirates who were close at hand on the opposite side and pulled the trigger.

In an instant, with the sound of the blunderbuss, sparks exploded in the Zhe Army's position, and thick gunpowder smoke rose.

At this time, the distance between the front row of the Zhejiang Army and the Japanese pirates was less than ten meters, and the distance between the back row of the Zhejiang Army and the Japanese pirates was less than twenty meters, which was within the best range of the power of the firecrackers and the accuracy of the head. Hair, the lethality is astonishing.

In an instant, nearly one-third of the Japanese pirates who charged over fell down.

However, the remaining Japanese pirates were not afraid of death, stepped on the corpse of the fallen Japanese pirates, and rushed up ferociously.

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

Although the number of Japanese pirates was reduced severely, and there were only more than 400 Japanese pirates left, Xu Hai laughed out loud when he saw that the Japanese pirates had rushed into the Zhe army formation.

However, Xu Hai's smile froze in the next second. Why, there was a strange long, narrow and sharp steel bar under the Zhejun firecracker, which was nearly one meter long. In an instant, the firecracker became a weird weapon. The spears of the Zhejiang army became like a hedgehog.

The Japanese pirates in the front row who are not afraid of death and rushing towards the Zhejiang army were caught off guard and pierced by the dense spears of the Zhejiang army.
