Chapter 53: The Moment of Zhao Daqi
Night Owl led the lead and led his suicide squad to climb to the top of the city with the rope. He was about to go up, but suddenly he heard strange laughter sounds on the city wall.
Then Ye Owl and others felt that their hands were loose, and the tight ropes broke all the time, and the suicide squad fell to the city like dumplings.
Amid the screams, fires were raised on the top of the city shone on the sky. The officers and soldiers guarding the city laughed gloatingly, while throwing the rolling stone mulberry down from the city and hitting the dog with headache.
In fact, the in-person who once had high hopes was labeled as "suspected bandits" in the first round of investigation by the In-Library Group. All suspects and intelligence teams would arrange special personnel to secretly follow them, but they were caught just now.
The same thing is said, one force reduces ten ways. In the face of organizational capabilities that transcend the times, no ghost tricks can be hidden.
Then he used the trick and sent away the pirates who had stolen the city...
In the darkness, the suicide squad suffered heavy casualties. They ignored the life and death of Ye Owl, so they ran away with their heads and fled back to the ship.
Finally, I counted the number of people, including Night Owl, and broke more than 30 more. Although the losses were not big, the successive setbacks made him feel uncomfortable.
Without going to see the gloating expression of Mr. Hu Jiao and others, he pounded the cigarette pot heavily and ordered:
"Tomorrow, we will launch a large army to attack the city from all sides! My people from the east, so you can choose one side to attack!"
Mr. Hu Jiao and others did not object. After all, they were not here to watch the fun. In addition to shaking flags and shouting, they also had to come to restrain the strength of the official army.
These sea masters are all very smart and know when to paddle and when to fight. After using the trick without success, "flowering on all sides" is the most effective way to siege the city.
Because Chaozhou is a big city with a circumference of more than ten miles and surrounded by water on three sides. The pirates are numerous and powerful, and can give full play to their military advantages, bloom more and more points, and dilute the already weak defensive forces. They can also rely on the fleet to maneuver quickly, making the defending side of the city unable to stand on the left and right, and lose sight of the other side. Once a gap is opened, they can quickly concentrate their troops and enter the city.
Now that things have come to this point, they can't let out blood, so they each chose a direction and went back to their ship to discuss with their subordinates how to attack the city tomorrow.
~~
The battle situation the next day was indeed different.
The battle started first at Guangji Gate. He was fearless and ordered his warship to reach the river bank at the risk of being stranded and bombard the city with the cannons on the ship.
His pirate cannons were obviously better than those of the official army at the city. At such a close distance, even on a floating ship, he could still maintain a high hit rate.
With the roaring cannons, the shells roared on the walls of Chaozhou City. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty's walls were thick. If it were a tofu project like Japan, these rows of cannons would have been smashed.
Even so, the officials and civilians guarding the city were suppressed and unable to raise their heads. The artillery they had set up on the top of the city was mainly cared for by the pirate gunners with superb firing skills, and many of them were destroyed.
In fact, it is useless to not destroy it. Fire cannons is a very valuable technique and cannot be quickly achieved in a short period of time. In Zhao Hao's coast guard troops, except for the talented Chu Liuxiang, most gunners have to learn theories and train repeatedly to increase their hit rate after a long period of time.
Although the big dogs have cannons hidden in their homes, it is inconvenient to practice shooting cannons openly. First, there is no place, and second, it is too eye-catching. Therefore, their artillery is mainly used to ward off evil spirits and protect the house. It is really pointing at this thing to kill the enemy? It is just a blind mind.
In the room, the defenders at the city were suppressed with artillery fire, and Zeng Yiben's main force began to land on a large scale. As soon as he unloaded the prepared ladder and other simple siege equipment, the pirates rushed towards the city with a scream.
At this time, the artillery on the ship had no intention of stopping. Although the real shells had limited damage to personnel, the momentum of the pirates taking the city at the risk of being accidentally injured was still amazing.
"The pressure is very high today..." On the city gate tower, Wu Chengen looked at the pirates rushing like a tide through the tide, and he felt numb. He had been fighting against the Japanese for many years, but he had guarded the city dozens of times, and had never seen such a big battle.
Looking at the military and civilians who were suppressed by artillery fire and dared not look up behind the walls of the battlement, he couldn't help but worry more and more: "These people are a little stronger than ordinary people. If they are overwhelmed in terms of momentum, they will become a group of mobs!"
Zhao Shouzheng was wearing a handsome mountain Wenjia that he had gotten from nowhere. He heard this and helped the tiger-headed horn that was shattered, and then strode towards the door.
"Master, it's dangerous!" The guards rushed forward and wanted to pull Zhao Shouzheng back.
"Don't touch me." But Mr. Zhao said in a deep voice: "This is the moment that belongs to Zhao Daqi!"
"This..." The guards stopped hearing his life and watched him push the door and walk out.
"What are he going to do?" Wu Chengen looked at Mr. Zhao who suddenly rushed out like an evil person.
‘Who is Zhao Daqi?’ But the guards were full of question marks.
Everyone saw Zhao Shouzheng steadily walking down the city gate tower with flying shells.
Then he pulled out the sword from his waist and whispered loudly to the officers and soldiers lying under the stack of arrows:
"Everyone is brave! When you get up to meet the enemy, you will die. The whole family will die if the city is broken. Everyone knows which is more important! So we can only fight with us on the same path, and defend our homeland!"
A Chaozhou Prefecture master who served as the translator, shouted out Zhao Erye's sonorous and powerful mobilization in Chaozhou dialect. Although the tone sounds quite funny, the effect is still good.
Soon the young man who was easily attracted to the point of being up, and then more and more people stood up and prepared to face the enemy.
Mr. Zhao strikes while the iron is hot again and shouts out the strongest voice of this era.
"After repelling the enemy in this battle, all participants will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and those who die in battle will be given a pension of 100 taels, and those who are disabled will be pensioned for their elderly and will be sent to their death!"
The military and civilians on the city were immediately filled with overlords. The powerful people screamed and carried stones and wood, and smashed them to the pirates who were preparing to set up ladders under the city.
The government army and gunmen from various families also set up muskets, arched their bows and arrows, and shot them down the city.
Thanks to the endless large-scale clan fights, Chaozhou people are much better at shooting arrows than shooting artillery. In addition, the pirates under the city are densely packed, so they can shoot without aiming at them!
The pirates finally suffered a large number of casualties, but the wealthy Chaozhou City was right in front of them. How could they give up easily? Under the command of the leader, they raised their shields, held the ladder, and started to yell at the ant to attach the city wall.
They were greeted by spoonfuls of boiling vegetable oil. The pirates on the ladder were scalded and covered in big bags, screaming and falling to the city.
Now it depends on whether my wife can tell the Lin Dao to do it.
Yes, Zeng Yiben will wake up soon and withdraw his troops obediently.
If you can't, you can only continue to fight fiercely, which really corresponds to the Minnan dialect, "Three points are destined to be the sky, and seven points are determined by hard work."
Chapter completed!
