The petty official on the city wall who had fainted from shock was just rescued and supported by someone. Before he could catch his breath, he saw from the corner of his eye that the Japanese pirates under the city wall were moving again. In his eyes, the Japanese pirates were divided into two groups and rushed towards the city wall, just like the devils from hell reaching out their claws to the city wall!
"Ah... Japanese... Japanese pirates are attacking the city..."
The clerk was so frightened that he screamed hysterically, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted again. His crotch instantly became wet, and yellow liquid flowed out of his trouser legs, accompanied by a pungent smell of feces.
Not only was he frightened to the point of fainting, but he also peed his pants. However, no one laughed at him because there were panicked screams coming from the city walls.
Nao Nabeshima and Sanbanro Matsuura each led half of the Japanese pirates and rushed towards the city wall. However, they were very measured. Although they rushed towards the city wall, they turned to the sides at the edge of the range of bows and muskets. They ran around the city wall, one left and one right, showing off their strength, as if they were observing the weak links in the city wall's defense.
There was chaos on the city wall, and the defenders were panic-stricken and drew their bows to shoot at the Japanese pirates who were showing off their power below the city.
Because the Japanese pirates were at the edge of the range and the military quality of the defenders on the city was very limited, the arrows flew like snowflakes, but the threat they posed to the Japanese pirates was very limited.
Some arrows fell to the ground midway, most of them were too inaccurate, and the few feather arrows with better accuracy were so effective that the Japanese pirates were at the edge of the range and their effectiveness was already at a low point before they shot past them. The skilled Japanese pirates took the opportunity to perform some fancy arrow catching techniques with their bare hands for the defenders on the city, which frightened them.
"The Japanese pirates are so damn powerful. They caught arrows with their bare hands. How can we fight them?"
"Oh shit, it turns out that the legend of the Japanese pirates catching arrows with bare hands is true! Then the legend that the Japanese pirates are invulnerable to swords and guns is also true?! How can we fight them? What should we do?"
The soldiers and civilians on the city walls looked at the Japanese pirates showing off their might below the city, and their fear grew as if they had been injected with hormones, and their brutality grew.
"This is intolerable! Bring me my bow and arrows!" Yu Dayou couldn't help but get angry when he saw the Japanese pirates under the city being so arrogant.
The personal guards handed Yu Daxian his special strong bow and feather arrows.
Yu Dayou drew his bow and arrow, and the bow was like a full moon. He silently aimed at the arrogant Naoko Nabeshima outside the city, and then released his hand and shot out!
Naoko Nabeshima's armor is the most gorgeous, and he is riding a red horse and holding a yellow umbrella. You can tell at a glance that he is the Japanese chieftain! To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader! If you shoot the Japanese chieftain to death with one arrow, the morale of the Japanese pirates outside who are showing off their power will surely drop!
whoosh!
The arrow shot straight at Naoko Nabeshima!
Precise!
powerful!
The arrow flew straight to Naoko Nabeshima's face which was not covered by the mask!
Amidst the weak and inaccurate arrows, a powerful and accurate arrow suddenly flew out. Nabeshima Masao was not prepared, but he was very skilled, and with the conditioned reflex brought by years of life-and-death battles, he caught the arrow in his hand the moment it was heading straight for his face!
On the city wall, when Yu Dayou took action, officials such as Zhang Jing also widened their eyes in anticipation.
Yu Dayou had conquered many countries and was known for his bravery. The legend that he had challenged Shaolin Temple alone and defeated dozens of Shaolin monks had long been spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River. When they saw Yu Dayou drawing his bow and shooting the Japanese head, they all widened their eyes and watched Yu Daxian draw his bow and arrow and shoot the Japanese head.
Looking forward to it!
Seeing Yu Daxian's arrows flying straight to the front gate of the Japanese army, officials such as Zhang Jing couldn't help but shout "Great!"
The Japanese leader is finished! Zhang Jing and other officials all had their smiles slowly widening...
However, the next second, the Japanese chieftain grabbed the arrow with one hand and took it away from him at the critical moment.
Ah... ah
The first "Ah" was an excited cheer, and the next "Ah" was a surprised sigh. This was the real reaction of Zhang Jing and others on the city wall.
Yu Daxian was the ceiling of the city's garrison's military strength. The arrows shot by Yu Daxian were actually caught by the Japanese pirates!
The morale of the defenders on the city wall dropped again!
Due to the long distance, they only saw Nao Nabeshima catch the arrow, but did not see that the arrowhead had pierced the skin on Nao Nabeshima's face, leaving a shocking blood mark! At the same time, Nao Nabeshima's right hand was also bleeding due to the friction of the arrowhead.
"General!" The Japanese pirates were shocked when they saw Naoko Nabeshima injured!
"Baka! It was just a cold arrow that broke my skin a little. What's the big deal? Don't make a fuss about it. Don't let the Ming people know that I was hit by a cold arrow. Continue to intimidate the Ming people and put pressure on them! Hit their morale and force them to conscript civilians to help defend the city."
Naoko Nabeshima angrily cursed his subordinates the Japanese pirates, then shook his hands without leaving a trace to dispel the pain and numbness in his right hand. He took the longbow from behind his back with his backhand, put the feather arrow he caught on the string, and drew the bow like a full moon.
"It's impolite not to return the favor! That's what you Ming people say! I'll give you the arrow back!" Naoko Nabeshima shouted to the people on the city wall, aiming his longbow at the direction where Yu Daxian was, and suddenly released the arrow!
whoosh!
Arrows fly towards the city wall!
However, Nabeshima Masao was careful. He knew how powerful Yu Daxian was from the feather arrow shot by him. He also knew that Yu Daxian was at the gate of the city with an injured hand, so he had no advantage at all. This arrow would definitely not hurt Yu Daxian. So his target was not Yu Daxian, but a soldier beside Yu Daxian.
Yu Daxian thought that the Japanese pirates were going to shoot at him, so he tried his best to guard against it. However, he did not expect that the Japanese pirates were cunning and shot arrows at the soldiers.
The soldier was not on guard and his reaction was slow. By the time he noticed the arrow, it had already hit him in the face.
A scream.
The soldier fell to the ground, red and white liquid flowed out, and he was no longer alive.
"ah!"
The defenders on the city were horrified and panicked, and they subconsciously retreated away from the battlements.
This arrow from Naoko Nabeshima brought great intimidation to the city!
The defenders on the city wall could not imagine that the Japanese pirates were so terrifying. They shot arrows at the city wall from below. They were fast, accurate and ruthless, and one arrow killed them!
The people on the city walls didn't know what was going on. They only saw Yu Daxian shooting arrows at the Japanese pirates, who caught the arrows with one hand; the Japanese pirates shot arrows at the defenders, who fell down immediately! Such a sharp contrast, doesn't it mean that the Japanese pirates are much more powerful than Yu Dayou?!
Suddenly, the panic in the city became even worse!
"Sir Zhang, Eunuch He, Duke of Wei, we can't let the Japanese pirates continue to show off their power like this. Our army's morale has dropped sharply. I suggest sending elite soldiers out of the city to strike at the Japanese pirates..." Hu Zongxian stepped forward with injuries and gave advice to Zhang Jing, Eunuch He and Duke of Wei.
"Leave the city?! You absolutely cannot! Lord Hu, your scar hasn't healed yet, have you forgotten the pain?! You led more than a thousand elite soldiers to resist the Japanese pirates in Cherry Orchard, but they killed and decimated them! If you send troops out of the city now, won't you repeat the same mistake! Lord Zhang, He Zhenshou, Duke of Wei, you absolutely cannot send troops out of the city! There are so many people in the city now, and everyone is watching. If you fail one day, you can't hide it. Panic will spread throughout the city in an instant. By then, people will be in a panic, and Yingtian will not be able to defend no matter how strong it is!"
"A defeated general dares to offer advice?! Do you want to drag everyone down with you and become defeated by the Japanese pirates?!"
"It is said that we should play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. There is no reason to abandon the city walls and go down to fight the Japanese pirates in the field! The best strategy is to hold the city firmly!"
As soon as Hu Zongxian finished speaking, he was surrounded by voices of opposition.
"My defeat was not due to war, but rather..." Hu Zongxian gritted his teeth and explained to everyone.
"Forget it, we lost, there's no need to make excuses..." The officials sneered.
