Facing the Japanese pirates, there is only death and no life.
Zhu Ping'an, a mere scholar, actually had the courage to sleep on the city wall and vowed to live and die with Jingnan County. This courage and courage amazed everyone at the banquet. Zhu Ping'an did not live up to his title of No. 1 scholar!
But after being amazed, everyone couldn't help but feel regretful.
What a pity! I heard that Zhu Ping'an is only sixteen this year! He is in his prime years with a promising future! What a pity! What a pity!
Such a talent could have become a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, leaving a strong and colorful mark in history, and his future was limitless! What a pity, what a pity, his fate was full of misfortunes, and he encountered Japanese pirates.
There is no way, life is like this, often times, things don't go as planned! Good people don't live long! People with ambitions can't achieve anything! A heart full of passion and responsibility can often only move yourself, not move God, and can't solve the reality of the disparity in strength.
During the An-Shi Rebellion, Zhang Xun held Suiyang City with an absolutely inferior force of several thousand men. Facing more than 100,000 rebels, he remained unmoved and vowed to defend the city to the death. Zhang Xun's determination to defend the city was unparalleled in the world. The battle to defend the city was extremely tragic, with more than 400 battles of varying sizes, which made the rebels pay a heavy price. However, despite the absolute disparity in force, Suiyang City was still breached by the rebels, and Zhang Xun died in the city.
In the Battle of Yashan, Lu Xiufu vowed to turn the tide and save the collapsing empire, and he vowed to revive the Song Dynasty. However, due to the huge disparity in strength between them and the Mongols, this could only become the most tragic scene in history. In the end, the Song army was defeated, and Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea holding the young emperor and died for his country. One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians followed suit and jumped into the sea to die for their country.
There are countless examples of this in history...
What a pity that Zhu Ping'an is also going to become such an example, what a pity...
"Alas, County Magistrate Zhu, what a pity. There were more than 3,000 Japanese pirates who raided here, half of whom were fierce Japanese pirates. There were less than 100 soldiers in Jingnan County, and all the county magistrate, chief clerk, and registrar had fled. In addition, the walls of Jingnan County were low and in disrepair..."
"Alas, what a pity, what a pity..."
"Good people don't live long..."
The more people at the banquet were amazed at Zhu Ping'an's courage and bravery of sleeping soundly on the city wall while the Japanese pirates were at the gate, the more they felt sorry for Zhu Ping'an. It was a pity that such a talented person like Zhu Ping'an was killed by the Japanese pirates.
What a pity for Zhu Ping'an, what a pity for Jingnan County... ...Taizhou prefect Tan Lun couldn't help but have this thought.
Hearing the sighs of regret from the banquet, the scout couldn't help but shook his head. What the hell is this...
"The Japanese pirates raided Jingnan County. They first sent over a hundred pirates to attack the east gate of the county, and then the main army raided the west gate..."
The scout soldier continued to report. Because Jingnan was not captured by the Japanese pirates, the people in the county had personally experienced the battle and many people knew about it, so the Jingnan battle report he had investigated was relatively detailed.
What?!
The Japanese pirates, who had an absolute advantage in military strength, actually used the tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west! The Japanese pirates were terrible, but the Japanese pirates who knew the tactics of war were even more terrible!
Then Jingnan County is completely hopeless. What a pity for Zhu Pingan...
The sighs at the banquet became louder.
"However, County Magistrate Zhu had already predicted that the West Gate would be the main attack direction of the Japanese pirates, and he was well prepared, so the Japanese pirates' treacherous plan of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west did not succeed." The scout soldier said loudly.
What?!
Jingnan County Magistrate Zhu Ping'an actually predicted that the Japanese pirates would attack the west gate?! He saw through the Japanese pirates' plan of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!
How did he predict that?!
Could it be a coincidence?!
However, even if Zhu Ping'an defeated the Japanese pirates' plan of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, what would it matter? He only blocked a sneak attack by the Japanese pirates! Under the absolute disparity in military strength, it was already a fluke that Jingnan County could withstand a sneak attack by the Japanese pirates. How could it withstand the continuous attack of the Japanese pirates? !
What a pity.
Everyone was surprised at first, but then they felt sorry for Jingnan County Magistrate Zhu Ping'an.
There was no way. Faced with the absolute disparity in military strength, no one could muster even a glimmer of hope.
"After the Japanese pirates failed in their sneak attack on the west gate, they turned to a frontal siege and continued to attack the west gate..."
The scout soldier continued to report.
really!
Everyone shook their heads upon hearing this and sighed again. As a result of the failed sneak attack by the Japanese pirates, they had to turn to a frontal siege. With the absolute disparity in military strength, it was only a matter of time before Jingnan County was captured.
"Zhu Zhixian ordered the use of huge stones, gold juice and other materials to defend the city, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese pirates attacking the city. However, the Japanese pirates were ferocious and desperate, and their crazy attack on the city also caused heavy casualties to the defenders of Jingnan County..." the scout soldier continued to report.
Gold juice! I can't believe Zhu Ping'an thought of using gold juice to defend the city.
But what a pity.
There are more than 3,000 Japanese pirates, so they can afford casualties. However, the defenders of Jingnan County are small in number and cannot afford casualties!
"Half an hour later, the Japanese pirates finally stormed the city wall..." the scout soldier reported.
really!
Just as they worried, Jingnan County could not afford the loss and was attacked by the Japanese pirates who climbed up the city walls!
What does it mean for the Japanese pirates to attack the city wall? !
It means it’s over!
The only advantage of the city wall in Jingnan County is gone! This is the end of Jingnan County, and this is the end of Zhu Ping'an!
"At the critical moment, County Magistrate Zhu lifted up his official uniform and tied it around his waist, then rushed to the front line with a knife in hand..."
The scout soldier continued to report.
well!
it's over!
When they heard Zhu Ping'an rushing forward with a knife in hand, the sighs at the banquet became louder! The hero's last song, Overlord at the Wujiang River! How could they not sigh!
"Zhu Zhixian killed the enemy with a sword, which inspired the defenders and boosted their morale. Later, Zhu Zhixian seized the weakness of the Japanese pirates' siege equipment, which were mostly flying claws and ropes, and ordered people to use firewood boiled with gold juice to burn the ropes, making it impossible for the Japanese pirates under the city to climb up the city wall for a while. The Japanese pirates who climbed up the city wall were eliminated... and Jingnan County was defended again." The scout soldier heard the deep sighs of the crowd and could not help shaking his head and reported loudly.
ah?!
He actually managed to hold on?!
When everyone at the banquet heard the scout's report, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
However, just like last time, the surprise only existed at the beginning. After the surprise, everyone couldn't help but sigh again.
This time, Zhu Ping'an took advantage of the Japanese pirates' weakness that they had just landed, lacked siege equipment, and mostly used flying claws and ropes to climb and attack the city. He used fire to burn the ropes of the Japanese pirates' flying claws, making it impossible for the Japanese pirates to climb and attack the city.
However, the Japanese pirates would definitely cut down trees to build siege ladders, which would burn continuously and be difficult to destroy. With siege ladders, the Japanese pirates could send more troops to the city wall, several times more than with flying claws and ropes! The speed was also several times faster! Facing the Japanese pirates attacking the city with flying claws and ropes, the defenders on the city wall had already suffered heavy casualties and barely managed to hold on. How could they resist the Japanese pirates attacking the city with siege ladders? ! They were not enough to fill the gaps in the Japanese pirates' teeth!
