"One, two, three, four, five... Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, Matsushita, Ishii, Tojo, Saito, Koizumi, Abe, Watanabe... Baka! Baka! Bakayaloo! General, ming wuwu, Matsushita, Abe and the others were not spared, all of them were beheaded by the Ming dogs!"
A Japanese pirate counted the heads dropped by the Ming army one by one, confirmed them over and over again, recognized the faces of each head, and found that none of his companions who had sneaked into the city were spared. He could not help but feel shocked, angry, fearful and annoyed, and reported to Naoio Nabeshima and Sanbanro Matsuura in extremely excited emotions.
It goes without saying that the Japanese pirates were furious. The reason why they were frightened was that for them, the most feared way to die in the world was beheading and having their heads and bodies separated. In their cultural heritage and the cognition passed down from generation to generation, if someone dies by beheading, they will become a lonely ghost, and will never be reborn. They will wander in the hungry ghost world for generations, suffering from hunger and cold, until their souls fly away... ... Their families in Japan also regard people who die by beheading as a shame for the family. They bring up their family tree and are cursed by the family for generations. Therefore, even if the Japanese are very brave, even if they are brave enough not to fear death, they are afraid of being beheaded and having their heads and bodies separated.
Since this group of Japanese pirates set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty, they have been invincible and unstoppable. Although there have been casualties, at most two or three Japanese pirates died in each battle. It is the first time that 24 Japanese pirates died at once, especially when their heads were chopped off!
Therefore, when the Japanese pirates under the city saw the heads of their companions one by one, almost everyone felt fear in their hearts, just to a greater or lesser extent.
"Baka! All the Ming people are dead!"
Both the hot-tempered Naoko Nabeshima and the always steady Matsuura Sanbanrou were extremely angry at this moment, staring at the top of the city wall with their eyes spitting fire and cursing non-stop.
"Attack the city, follow me to attack the city, I will capture this city, all the Ming people will die, die, die, kill them all, leaving no one alive! Use the blood of the Ming people to sacrifice the spirits of Matsushita, Koizumi, Abe and others who died in vain!"!
Nabeshima Masao roared loudly in anger and waved his hand, ordering the Japanese pirates present to charge towards the Yingtian city gate.
At the same time, he waved his hand, picked up the Japanese sword, and was about to lead the charge towards the city gate.
"Kill them!" The Japanese pirates waved their swords and followed Naoko Nabeshima to charge towards the city gate.
"The flax fell! General, you must not do this! Our army lost Matsushita and his men, and we have no internal support. The Ming people not only have a huge number of bows and crossbows on the city wall, but also a large number of iron cannons and several large-caliber iron cannons. With the current strength of our army, it is difficult to break through the city gate guarded by the Ming people's heavy troops and heavy weapons!"
Although Matsuura Sanbanro was also angry and wanted to kill all the Ming people, he still remained calm. When he saw Naoto Nabeshima ordering the entire army to attack, his heart was shocked and his brain quickly regained its calm. He hurried forward and stretched out his hand to block Naoto Nabeshima and his Japanese pirates.
"Baga! The blood of the heads of the twenty-four men including Matsushita is still wet! How can I vent my anger if I don't avenge them? How can I intimidate the Ming people if I don't avenge them? How can I have the face to lead you to move forward!" Naoko Nabeshima was stopped by Sanbanrou Matsuura, and he became furious and cursed like a vicious dog.
"General, it is because we have to move forward that we cannot attack the city recklessly. Have you forgotten the purpose of His Highness sending us here? Have you forgotten the mission on your shoulders? We still have 57 people. Although we are not enough to destroy the prefecture city and the county city, we can destroy the general county city if we want. Even if the Ming people have more than a thousand people, they can't stop us. From here, we go south and turn east into the sea. We can still successfully complete His Highness's commission. The Ming people have an old saying that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge! At that time, we will lead His Highness's army across the sea to break through the Ming people's southeastern rivers and mountains, and then lead the army to destroy this city, slaughter all the Ming people in the city, and use the blood of the Ming people to avenge Matsushita, Koizumi Abe and others."
Matsuura Sanbanrou faced Naoto Kobe's anger head-on, opened his arms to block Naoto Kobe, and calmly dissuaded Naoto Kobe.
“I... ..” Nabeshima Masao had not yet recovered from his anger, and his rage was still there, his breathing as heavy as a wild boar.
"If the general insists on attacking the city, we can't say for now whether we can break through the city gate under the heavy defense of the Ming people, but we will definitely suffer casualties. Twenty-four people including Matsushita have already been killed. If we lose more soldiers, how can we cross the hundreds of miles of Ming territory, break through the Ming army's heavy siege and blockade, how can we reach the coast of the sea, and how can we set sail back to Hizen to report to His Highness?"
Seeing that Naoko Kobe was still dominated by anger, Matsuura Sanbanro continued to make efforts and
A rhetorical question.
"I..." Nao Nabeshima was bombarded with questions from Matsuura Sanbanrou. Thinking of the important responsibility of His Highness, he hesitated.
At this time, there was movement on the city wall again.
"Watch out, Japanese pirates below the city. I'm going to give you more than a hundred heads. These traitors have been bewitched by you and betrayed their ancestors. Their crimes are unforgivable. I'm going to give them to you. Hahahaha..."
The Ming army on the city wall pressed the beggars and ruffians who were crying and begging for mercy on the top of the city wall, lined them up in a row, then swung their snow-white broadswords and beheaded all the beggars and ruffians with force, then lifted their heads and threw them far away at the Japanese pirates below the city wall.
Beggars and ruffians were beheaded one by one in front of the Japanese pirates, and their heads were thrown down like balls.
This scene had a considerable impact on the Japanese pirates.
It can be imagined that if they were killed in battle or captured, the Ming people would chop off their heads without hesitation.
How can we avoid being impacted
"Baka!" Seeing more than a hundred heads thrown down from the city wall by the Ming people, Naoko Nabeshima couldn't help but curse again.
At the same time, he also woke up from his anger and glanced at the top of the city wall with hatred. The Ming people were crowded with people, and there were countless people shoulder to shoulder. There were countless bows and crossbows on the city wall, and there were thousands of Ming soldiers holding iron cannons. He knew that what Matsuura Sanbanlang said was true. It was not easy for the fifty-seven Japanese pirates he had defeated to attack the city and break through the gate. Even if they could break through the city gate, they would certainly suffer casualties and it would be difficult to return to Hizen safely in the future. And with his current troops, as long as he did not attack the big city, he also had strong confidence that the Ming people could not stop them! The purpose of this exploration has been achieved. There is no need to fight to the death in the Ming army's auxiliary capital. It is better to go south and then east into the sea, explore along the way, and smoothly sail back to Hizen to report to His Highness, so he also had the idea of retreating in his heart.
However, he was conceited after all, and did not order a retreat. Instead, he was reserved for the sake of saving face and waiting for a chance to back off.
He believed that the smart and calm Matsuura Sanbanro would definitely give him a way out.
"It's time!" Seeing the traitors on the city wall being beheaded and thrown down, Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up. He stood up decisively, raised his sword and swung it hard, and ordered loudly, "Raise the flags and beat the drums, and the whole army will attack!"
Suddenly, the Zhejiang army, which had been silent for a long time, rushed out from the woods in an endless stream. Hundreds of large flags with the Chinese characters "Zhu" and "Zhe" fluttered in the wind, shouts of killing were deafening, and cowhide drums were beating loudly... ...
Seen from a distance, the more than 800 people created the momentum of a mighty army.
"Reinforcements, our reinforcements are coming..."
"Hahaha, reinforcements are coming."
The Ming army on the city wall suddenly became excited. Both officers and soldiers and civilians were extremely surprised. They danced and shouted excitedly.
The morale of the people in the city suddenly increased dramatically! It soared!
However, the sudden appearance of the Zhejiang Army did not bring surprise but fright to the Japanese pirates under the city.
"Damn it, the Ming reinforcements are coming!" Naoko Nabeshima couldn't help but curse. He no longer had any hope of breaking the city. He made up his mind to retreat. He had made up his mind that no matter whether Matsuura Sanbanro gave him a way out or not, he would order his troops to withdraw.
