"The Japanese pirates are coming!!!"
Not long after Zhu Ping'an finished explaining, a voice crying for his parents was heard on the street, and then people saw a frightened man running in panic on the street, his face pale and his legs shaking.
Soon, a lot of people followed behind, all of them were terrified and shouted that the Japanese pirates were coming.
The fear spread quickly to everyone like a plague, and the atmosphere of panic once again swept through Jingnan County.
"Where are the Japanese pirates? How many are there?"
When the people gathered in West City heard the news that the Japanese pirates were coming, Ju Si was frightened and asked in panic.
"East Gate, a large number of Japanese pirates are coming from the east, shouting that they want to kill all of us..."
"There were a lot of people. When I ran over, there were already hundreds of Japanese pirates clamoring to kill at the East Gate..."
The people who escaped from East City replied in panic.
When people heard that the Japanese pirates were heading towards the East City, they looked up at Zhu Ping'an on the city wall in excitement.
"My Lord, the county magistrate, did you hear that? The Japanese pirates are heading for East City. It's East City, not West City as you said!"
"Didn't you say the pirates were attacking the city from the west? Why are they heading towards the east?!"
"One incompetent general will exhaust the whole army. We are all going to be killed by you. You focus on defending the West City, while the Japanese pirates are attacking the East City!"
"While the Japanese pirates are attacking the East Gate and the West Gate has not fallen yet, open the gate quickly and let us escape from the city."
"You think you are Zhuge Liang, but you don't know that you are only one-third of Zhuge Liang. You are just a pig. You are stupid. Don't let us get involved. Open the west gate quickly and let us escape from the city. We don't want to be buried with you..."
People were emotionally accusing Zhu Ping'an, their eyes were filled with anger, and they demanded that Zhu Ping'an open the West Gate and let them escape from the city. In their opinion, Zhu Ping'an was both self-righteous and stupid, saying that the Japanese pirates were attacking the West City, but they attacked the East Gate instead, which was like a pig.
They were extremely disappointed with Zhu Ping'an and had no hope of defending the city. How could they defend the county city with such a county magistrate who knew nothing about military affairs? So they started clamoring again and demanded that the city gates be opened so they could escape.
"Send 10 men from the South Gate and the North Gate to the East Gate to assist in the defense. After the Japanese pirates retreat, immediately return to your original positions and wait for orders."
There was a lot of cursing going on below the city walls, but Zhu Ping'an on top of the city remained calm and ordered the South Gate and North Gate to reinforce the East Gate.
After hearing Zhu Ping'an's order, the people in the city accused and scolded him even more. They felt that Zhu Ping'an was stubborn, did not correct his mistakes, and was selfish. The Japanese pirates had already started to attack the east gate, but he still insisted that the Japanese pirates would attack the west gate! Obviously, the west gate had the most soldiers, but the magistrate did not send a single soldier to rescue in order to protect himself. He only transferred ten people from the south gate and the north gate to help defend the east gate. What can such a small number of people do
Oh my god!
Why are our lives so miserable? We have to deal with such a stubborn and stupid county magistrate. It would be strange if Jingnan County was not destroyed. It's just a pity for us. The Japanese pirates are coming. What should we do? Oh, heaven, earth, who can come to save us? We don't want to be buried with such a stupid county magistrate.
There was wailing all over the field outside the west city.
The woods outside the west city gate.
A short, barefooted Japanese pirate crouched in the bushes and ran to the depths of the woods. He knelt at the feet of the pirate leader Heihachiro and respectfully reported in Japanese, "Leader, Gangcun has been ordered to lead his 120 men to feint and attack the east gate of Jingnan County."
"Yoshi, are there any reinforcements at the east gate?" asked the Japanese pirate leader Heihachiro, nodding with satisfaction.
"Dozens of soldiers have reinforced the East Gate." The Japanese pirate scout replied.
"Yoshi, just as Lord Jiang said, the magistrate of Jingnan is a kid who hasn't even fully grown his hair yet. He is so stupid that he was easily fooled. He just made a feint and sent troops to reinforce the East Gate. Little did he know that there is a saying in the art of war: Make a feint to the east and attack the west. They thought I was attacking the city from the East, but they didn't know that I attacked the West Gate by surprise. There were not many soldiers in Jingnan County to begin with, and now dozens of people have been transferred to the East Gate, so the West City must be empty. We attack the West Gate by surprise and we can definitely win it in one battle." The Japanese pirate leader Heihachi laughed contemptuously, and then he drew the Japanese sword at his waist and swung it hard towards the West Gate of Jingnan, saying with a ferocious face, "Jingnan, tremble in blood and death! I, Sanada Heihachi, am here! The name of my Sanada Heihachi will surely be spread all over Shenzhou! My men, it's time to break the city! Kill!"
“Ahhhhhh…”
"Kill, kill..."
"Gold, silver, women, your grandfather is here, hahahaha, we can rob and kill to our heart's content again."
"Kill, you little bastards of Jingnan, Grandpa is coming!"
A group of Japanese pirates rushed out of the woods as if they were injected with chicken blood, shouting and killing impatiently, and rushed towards the west gate of Jingnan County with murderous intent.
"What's that sound?"
"Where did the shouting and killing sound come from?"
The woods where the Japanese pirates hid were not far from Jingnan County. Whenever the Japanese pirates moved, the noise could be heard in Jingnan County.
"Oh my god, look! A lot of Japanese pirates rushed out of the woods in the west. Oh my god, there are too many of them. They are so densely packed that the whole land is full of Japanese pirates. I'm afraid there must be tens of thousands of them."
"Oh my god, the Japanese pirates are coming."
"Oh, the Japanese pirates are so cunning, they actually hid in the woods over there and really headed for the west gate. It's really like what the county magistrate said, the Japanese pirates really made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and this is the main force of the Japanese pirates."
"Oh my god, this is so scary, uncle, hurry up, help me up, my legs are weak, I can't stand up."
Soon, people noticed the Japanese pirates rushing out of the woods and shouting and killing all the way towards the west gate.
The mountains and plains were full of Japanese pirates, thousands of them, howling like ghosts and wolves, and the shouts of killing were deafening. The people in front of the West City Gate were immediately frightened and cried, the timid ones collapsed to the ground with weak legs, and some even wet their pants.
There are so many Japanese pirates, and these are their main force. The Japanese pirates are really making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, pretending to attack the east gate and then attacking the west gate!
The magistrate is very good at predicting things.
The county magistrate is truly the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang.
While people were horrified, they were also amazed and admired Zhu Ping'an's ability to foresee the future and to see the big picture from the details.
Those who had been accusing and scolding Zhu Ping'an for being self-righteous and stupid as a pig were all stunned and speechless when they saw this. Their faces turned as red as pig livers. It turned out that the magistrate was really the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, and they were the stupid ones. At the same time, they were all scared.
The Japanese pirates were hiding in the woods not far from the west gate. They had planned to go out from the west gate and escape through the woods into the mountains. If the county magistrate had really listened to them and opened the west gate to let them escape, they would have run into the swords of the Japanese pirates.
