The young and strong men on the city wall were all civilians. They had never even killed a pig, let alone killed people. They threw stones and splashed gold juice to kill the Japanese pirates indirectly. They gritted their teeth and overcame the obstacles and hesitations in their hearts. However, when they were asked to kill the Japanese pirates directly with knives, stab them with spears, and kill people with their own hands, they couldn't help but feel timid and hesitant, and couldn't do it for a while.
The young and strong man hesitated and missed the opportunity; the Japanese pirates did not hesitate. As soon as they showed their heads, they thrust the weapons in their hands into the chests of the young and strong men on the city wall. They stepped on the young and strong man's corpse whose eyes were still open, climbed onto the city wall, and then stabbed and killed the young and strong man next to them.
The Japanese pirates behind crawled up the gap like ants, waving their Japanese swords, and rushed into the young and strong group on the city wall like wolves into a flock of sheep, killing indiscriminately, expanding the area occupied by the city wall, and responding to the Japanese pirates under the city.
Only after paying a heavy price in blood and life did the young and strong men on the city wall overcome their inner fear and waved their weapons at the Japanese pirates.
The Japanese pirates were extremely fierce, and each of them killed without blinking an eye. They were also much more skilled than the young men on the city walls, especially the real Japanese, whose swordsmanship was extremely powerful. They jumped, dodged, and chopped. There was a flash of swords, and everything was white. The young men within 18 feet of his body were chopped to the ground by the Japanese pirates if they were not careful. The young and strong people on the city walls were no match for the Japanese pirates. After the Japanese pirates attacked the city walls, they suffered heavy casualties.
Fortunately, the Japanese pirates only had fifteen siege ladders, and the number of Japanese pirates climbing up the city wall was not large. The young and strong men on the city had the advantage in numbers, and they used their numbers to surround and kill the Japanese pirates. Otherwise, the city wall would have been captured by the fierce Japanese pirates by now.
My parents, wife and children are outside the city. We must defend it even if we die!
The young and strong men on the city wall fought hard against the Japanese pirates. The fierce Japanese pirates tried to break through the gap several times, but were blocked by the young and strong men on the city wall several times.
After several rounds, although the Japanese pirates attacked the city wall, they were still unable to expand their advantage. They were blocked in a corner by the young and strong men on the city wall, let alone going down the city wall to open the city gate to let the Japanese pirate army enter the city.
Although the young and strong men on the city had the advantage in numbers, they were unable to drive the Japanese pirates off the city wall for a while!
For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate!
It was not a static stalemate, but a dynamic one, a stalemate like a meat grinder. The two sides fought back and forth on the city wall, the Japanese pirates constantly chopped down the young and strong, and the young and strong also constantly strangled the Japanese pirates... ...
Fifteen siege ladders, fifteen meat grinders.
Blood was flowing under the mill, forming a river of blood. When you stepped on it, the blood would splash.
The city walls were littered with corpses, including the bodies of Japanese pirates and young and strong men, as well as their broken limbs, scattered all over the ground.
"Kill! Rush out!"
The Japanese pirates were like trapped beasts, blood-thirsty and becoming more and more crazy. They wanted to break through the blockade and fight their way out.
"Kill! Drive the Japanese pirates away!"
For the sake of their parents, wives and children below the city, the young and strong men on the city wall gritted their teeth and fought the Japanese pirates tenaciously, trying to drive them off the city wall.
Both sides were blood-thirsty and the battle became fierce. Blood was flowing every second and people were dying every minute.
"Everyone, pay attention to your positions. Form groups of ten to twenty people. Shield soldiers should be in the front to block the pirates' long swords with their shields. Spear soldiers should be in the middle to stab the pirates with their spears. Archers should ignore the pirates under the city and follow the spear soldiers to shoot the pirates who are resisting stubbornly on the top of the city. Sword soldiers should be in the back to protect the back row."
During the fierce offensive and defensive battles, Zhu Ping'an always stood at the front line and gave loud commands. He greatly simplified Qi Jiguang's weapon for strangling the Japanese pirates - the Mandarin Duck Formation - to the point where even untrained young and strong civilians could understand and use it.
This is not the Mandarin Duck Formation. At best, it is a weakened and rigid version of the Mandarin Duck Formation. It is only three-quarters similar in appearance, not even one-quarter similar in spirit. It does not have the many on-the-spot changes of the Mandarin Duck Formation. It is just this kind of formation.
However, even so, under Zhu Ping'an's command, the young and strong people on the city formed a simplified and rigid version of the mandarin duck formation with varying numbers of people, and the casualties were greatly reduced, while the number of Japanese pirates killed and wounded increased significantly. The casualty-killing ratio changed from three to one, two to one, to one to one, one to two, one to three... ...
Gradually, the Japanese pirates suddenly found that the young and strong people on the city seemed to have become stronger. It was relatively easy to kill them at the beginning, and they had the advantage even in a stalemate. But now they were increasingly disadvantaged, with fewer and fewer Japanese pirates around them, and their space for activities was also compressed smaller and smaller by the young and strong people. If this continued, it would not be long before they were driven off the city wall by these despised two-legged sheep.
"Baga! Get out there and make a gap!"
The real Japanese pirate Miyamoto Taro had just climbed up the city wall when he saw that the ferocious Japanese pirates were being beaten by two-legged sheep. He could not help but curse and shout, and then he led the charge, waving two long swords and rushing towards the young and strong civilians.
Taro Miyamoto was born in Sakushu, Japan. He was a two-sword warrior, and he was very famous among the pirates, and was known as the "Tiger of Sakushu".
You, the Japanese pirates who roamed the Ming Dynasty, were actually suppressed and beaten by a group of two-legged sheep. It is really a shame for the Japanese pirates!
I will wash away your shame with my blood.
As Taro Miyamoto rushed forward waving his two swords, he was still sneering at the Japanese pirates on the city wall in his heart.
In his eyes, the young and strong people on the opposite side were already dead bodies.
Swish!
Cut it with one knife!
Bang!
The people on the opposite side blocked it with their shields!
Although it was a bit unexpected, it was nothing. After Miyamoto Taro's first strike was blocked, he used another strike to cut the calf of the civilian on the opposite side at an extremely tricky angle. However, at this moment, two spears from the opposite side stabbed through the gap in the shield. If he insisted on cutting the calf of the civilian on the opposite side, he would also be hit by the spear, which was not worth it. Miyamoto Taro quickly put away the knife to avoid the spear, and then hit the shield with the handle of the knife.
With a "bang" sound, the people holding shields felt a huge force rushing towards them along the shields. The shields bounced back onto their foreheads, their foreheads turned black, and their bodies staggered backwards involuntarily.
Die!
When Taro Miyamoto saw the weakness of the shield-holding civilian, he smiled grimly, moved up and stabbed him fiercely with a knife.
Bang!
The people nearby brought their shields over in time and narrowly blocked Taro Miyamoto's fatal blow.
"Baka!"
The fatal blow was blocked repeatedly, and Miyamoto Taro was furious. He cursed angrily and swung the sword again bravely.
Before Taro Miyamoto could swing his sword, several spears stabbed at him again through the gaps in the shield. Taro Miyamoto quickly put away his sword and dodged. He used the same trick again and hit the shield with the handle of his sword. He decided to wait for the shield to stagger back and then jump behind it to kill all those damn spearmen.
"Bang"
The same plot, the shield soldiers stumbled back, revealing a gap.
Miyamoto Taro was overjoyed and was about to jump into the formation through the gap to kill people, but before he could jump, he saw a cold light coming from the corner of his eye. Miyamoto Taro reacted quickly and dodged like a monkey. A feather arrow narrowly brushed past his cheek. Miyamoto Taro smiled, but then he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a feather arrow dangling in his chest. Then, when Miyamoto Taro was slow to react after being shot by an arrow, several spears stabbed into his body.
The tiger of my generation, actually died here!
Taro Miyamoto widened his eyes in unwillingness and disbelief, then fell to the ground with a bang, ending his sinful life.
