Chapter 898: The Fall of Nanyuan (2)

"Sky Thunder!"

The experienced old Japanese pirate immediately screamed.

The sudden burst of movement frightened the heart of the young warrior who participated in the war for the first time, because this thing was more powerful than an iron cannon.

Before they could react, Lu Li, who knew the range, power, and trajectory of the gun, immediately stuffed the last Thunderbolt into the firecracker.

As expected, the center of the explosion this time was near the Japanese. They either took off on the spot, or shook their internal organs to pieces.

Several Japanese pirates were pierced through the abdomen by sharp objects, screaming and stuffing their intestines into their stomachs.

"The power is still lacking..."

Seeing that there were still nearly 30 Japanese retreating hastily, Lu Li was not satisfied.

But the 300 defenders around them all breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried that the Japanese, who had been enraged for the second time, would order a full-scale attack.

This guy...

Even if only 40,000 of the 50,000 Japanese troops fought on foot, there were still 10,000 people at the various city gates. Facing such a large number of enemies, they could not defend at all. Repelling an invasion would be considered a victory.

After all, there are not many such weapons as Zhentianlei. In the entire peninsula, only five or six thousand pieces were produced, and Nanyuan allocated about seven hundred pieces. It seems like a lot, and the result of the battle just now is also very gratifying.

But the premise is that Japanese army masters do not fight.

"The thieves will definitely not let it go. There is a high probability that they will launch a night attack at night. You take the brothers under your command to bury diamonds in the trench."

"Go and inform the other three gates to be on guard against Japanese sneak attacks at night. The general must sit at the bridgehead at night."

Outside Nanyuan, a moat.

It is about ten miles wide and is not connected to external water sources. There is a suspension bridge connected to the city gate above it.

Right now, the enemy has not launched a large-scale attack, and the bridge has not been put away.

If the Japanese army launched an attack suddenly, it was too late to put it away, and it could be blown up with firearms.

Hearing the general's order, all the ministries acted according to the order, preparing for the first city defense battle that might break out in the middle of the night.

On the other hand, Lu Li carried the Dragon-patterned Yanling Saber on his waist, and held a multifunctional three-eyed firecracker that could be used for long-distance combat and short-range attack, and began to patrol the city.

Regardless of other people's strange eyes, the black-maned horse wandered around the city with its master on its back, muttering:

"Boss, do you think I still have a chance?"

"what chance."

"Hey, kill yourself a Japanese daimyo."

"Can."

Although it hurts to say this, the fact is that with a little care from Lu Li, the black-maned horse can eat cakes, but Tang Chuan, who is guarding the north gate with three thousand militiamen, can't even eat the cakes.

Therefore, Lu Li deliberately went to the north gate first.

There is a vast area here, and there are a lot of people, but they are almost like paper tigers. In desperation, two of the three general cannons brought over from Daming were sent over.

In order to prevent those militiamen from doing bad things, Lu Li specially asked the guards who were mixed in to guard the left and right sides, and only obeyed Tang Chuan's orders.

Regarding this, envoy Li Funan and deputy general Jin Jinglao had nothing to say. After all, Tang Chuan was now aliased as Pu Zhenghuan, and he was also from Li Chao. He transferred the two cannons of the generals to him, obviously because he valued Li Chao!

As for why Ming soldiers guarded them, Li Funan and Jin Jinglao also knew that some of their own people were not strong-willed and would easily defect to the enemy.

The south gate guarded by Qianzong Qinchuan also received a general cannon to consolidate his strength.

The west gate, which is guarded by demons, is guarded by bull demons, plus a few big demons, and its stability is second only to the east gate.

Everyone knew that with Lu Li at the east gate, the 300 cavalry would definitely be able to defend it, at least later than the other three gates fell.

Branches on the moon.

Just as Lu Li had expected, as expected, at the second watch, three warriors sneaked towards the suspension bridge.

However, as soon as they approached the suspension bridge, they were stabbed by the nail boards buried in advance, and immediately seven or eight masters who were hiding in the moat jumped out and chopped them into meat.

"Collect the bridge."

Without using magical powers, Lu Li knew that there was an army of Japanese behind these three guys based on his combat experience accumulated in the past.

This scene happened at the other three gates almost at the same time, and all the guards saw through this clumsy trick.

The closing speed of the bridge is faster than the other.

The half-human bull demon at the south gate directly held the rope with one hand, and forcibly pulled up the suspension bridge, which weighed more than a thousand tons.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese soldiers on all sides rushed over with torches. Seeing that the suspension bridge was put away and the road ahead was cut off, they could only clamor all night and set fires around the city. The movement was so loud that fireworks could be seen rising into the sky for thousands of miles. scene.

However, Lu Li felt that it was too childish.

What about the generals in the army?

Although it is necessary to despise the animals of the island country in terms of personality and soul, it must be admitted that there are many powerful enemies among them. As long as there are generals who stand up, the night will definitely not be so easy.

Probing?

Show the enemy weak?

Or, a little bit of both.

Anyway, half of the tense people in Nanyuan City had a good night's sleep when it was dawn, and after eating dry food and drinking water at noon, the other half rested.

When it got dark again and everyone raised their spirits and prepared for the fierce battle, the story of the Japanese was repeated.

All four gates were harassed to varying degrees, the few were more than a hundred people, and the most were no more than three hundred. The leader was a little bit interesting, but only a little bit.

There was no need for Lu Li to make a move at the east gate. A hundred household officials went out and killed him after 30 fights.

In the morning, the smell of mutton soup fills the whole city.

Anyway, after two days passed, Lu Li personally ordered to reward the whole army.

With the wind, the smell of meat also floated into the noses of the Japanese scouts.

noon.

The monkey started to get serious. The old guy concluded that there were not many coalition forces in the city, so he ostentatiously built siege equipment outside the city, and brought in a lot of grass, grain, wood and stone, all of which were piled up near Dawuquan to fill up the trenches.

At first, Lu Li ordered to bombard them with the General Cannon.

Facts have proved that this kind of magic artifact of the Ming Dynasty is indeed effective, and the Japanese dare not build appliances with much fanfare.

But in order to save shells and save them for the official fight, Lu Li stopped this behavior.

third night.

The offensive and defensive battle officially kicked off.

Nancheng was the first to be attacked. Because the outside of the city was once a place where civilian households lived together, even if the walls were cleared, the remaining ruined walls still became Japanese bunkers, causing casualties to the soldiers defending the city.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan ordered in time to use the General Cannon in conjunction with Zhentianlei to blow up all the bunkers where the Japanese were located and bury them.

Otherwise, Nancheng is likely to become the focus of the next attack.

And Dongcheng became the new focus.

The pirates built high sheds outside the east gate of the city. They were one head higher than the city wall, and the archers stood on them and shot into the city.

Three hundred soldiers tried to use firecrackers to bombard them, but the number was limited and it was difficult to suppress them.

But Lu Li wouldn't sit on the sidelines, so he just slapped him with a slap...
