Chapter 903: The Fall of Nanyuan (7)

In the distance, the siege engine rumbled.

Each tower goes straight into the sky, higher than the Yangma City. Once close, thousands of Japanese can easily climb the towers.

In addition, not only the pressure from the tools, but also those priests and monks who were unable to deal with the red lotus fire and were severely reprimanded by Hideyoshi cast spells together, causing the originally clear night sky to suddenly rain down.

In this way, the individual firearms of the coalition forces, which were slightly behind, went out in an instant, and they could not use rockets to ignite the haystack.

And among the group of Japanese thieves outside the city, some were topless, people pushed horses, and frantically pushed the siege vehicles forward, as if they were rushing to reincarnate, and some carried large bundles of rice grains and went down the city layer by layer. Crazy heap.

Wet hills formed one after another, first filling the moat, followed by trenches full of sharp knives.

During this period, the Ming army did not do nothing.

There is no big general cannon in the east gate, but there are more than a dozen ancient giant catapults——

Two hundred soldiers worked together to control and lift up the boulders collected in advance one by one.

The remaining nearly a hundred cavalrymen bent their bows and set up arrows to shoot at the iron artillery team defended by the Japanese army.

Everyone has a will to die, and wants to pull a few Japanese thieves to follow them on the road before leaving.

With a serious expression on his face, Lu Li made a gesture of bending his bow and nodding his arrow. The next moment, a bow and arrow made of divine iron suddenly appeared.

The Suzaku mythical beast carved on it is not vivid, therefore, it is not made by him with a lot of effort, it is a work of practice.

But even so, it is not a soldier.

Among the Japanese, some generals with good strength mixed with the group of warriors outside the city, and chopped up the huge rock shot by the catapult in the air to reduce losses.

Little did they know, they had turned themselves into targets by doing so.

Lu Li was reluctant to use the arrows made of divine iron and monster bird tail feathers. Instead, he used the iron arrows made by the Ming army. They were strong enough and used the divine bow as a carrier. As long as they pierced through vital points, they could kill the generals of the Japanese army.

Bow and nock an arrow.

All three!

When the sound of breaking wind came to the ears, the foreheads of the group commanders had blossomed, and red and white stench immediately splashed out from the back of their heads.

next round.

While whispering in his heart, three more iron arrows were missing from the quiver. Lu Li was not happy to see the Japanese generals, who were the backbone of the Japanese army, fall down one by one.

Obviously, the east gate where he was located was not the main target at all. There seemed to be many attackers below, but in fact there were no big fish, just three or two kittens.

The same must be true of the Ximen guarded by the bull demon.

Because, there are signs of the existence of the red lotus fire at these two city gates.

In fact, Simon did not.

The ancient beast Zhu Yan and Qidi Water God Qingji are both Lu Li's vests, which were transformed by him, so he can only choose one.

Otherwise, where is the need for such a headache?

There is no need to inquire, the situation in the south and north gates must be critical, and one gate must face at least two daimyo-level legion commanders, in addition to the Qiyue Qiben gun, which is famous for its personal combat effectiveness.

Maybe... that Dongguo Wushuang is also here!

Frankly speaking, the General Cannon can't make up for this gap, unless the number is extremely large, and it is dozens of times the original basis.

But this kind of powerful weapon for suppressing the country is not Chinese cabbage on the street, there are only a few in Nanyuan.

"If you want to kill a thief, you won't be able to recover."

Lu Li murmured.

Now, there are only 300 soldiers, no, as the Japanese used iron cannons to suppress them from a long distance, there are only more than 200 people left alive to guard this place, and the only hope is themselves.

It is true that the Japanese pretended to attack, but the number of people is there. Once he leaves to support the other two, this place will also be conquered.

It's hard to look at the head and the tail.

Among the four gates, if any one is breached, it is like a breached fortress, and there is no chance of recovery.

"You go to support the south gate, tell Qin Chuan that you must persist for two hours, and then retreat to the west gate where the demons are with the remnants of the soldiers, meet me at Jieshi, and fight out together!"

The originally tangled decision became very easy when life and death were at stake and one had to make up one's mind.

In the original history, the general Yang Yuan only defended for a few days before he was forced to break out from the west gate. Now Lu Li had to follow suit, but his record was terrifying.

Who dares to punish him?

Even in front of the imperial court, Lu Li dared to stand upright and speak up in front of anyone. He could even accuse the impeached person of evil intentions and that he was a traitor bought by Japanese thieves!

With so many achievements, as long as the emperor is not blind, he will definitely not want to offend the Liaodong Army guarding the north, even if Ma Gui insists.

"My lord, what about the north gate?"

A hundred households looked excited.

In this case, no one was stupid enough to take the initiative to mention how Nanyuan should defend after breaking out of the siege.

I can't hold it at all!

Rather than die heroically, it is better to leave it to a useful body!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this battle still has to be fought. They have bought so much time for the rear, and the mobilization of the army and various strategic deployments are already far behind. It is not worth dying here.

"I'm going to help guard for a while."

Lu Li's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"The militiamen of the Li Dynasty are mainly infantry, and they can't kill them at all. I hope they understand this truth and stay and work together to kill a few Japanese thieves."

The reality is very cruel.

To put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder.

In the peaceful years, they were bullied and oppressed by civil officials. When the war was about to subjugate the country, the gentlemen chanted the slogan of the rise and fall of the country and the responsibility of everyone, but they only cared about their own family and fled for their lives, encouraging the poor to defend their homes——

To escape for the lives of these meat eaters and buy more time.

Of course, when this group of people dreamed back at midnight, or got together to drink and chat, they would pretend to shed a few tears, denouncing the pirates for being really hateful.

Sympathy is sympathy.

The country is weak and small, and the upper class only knows arrogance, luxury, and nepotism, and this is the culprit.

No wonder Daming.

With four thousand cavalry far away from their homeland, it is not easy for five hundred to leave Nanyuan alive.

If not, what else do you want?

As the commander-in-chief in everyone's mouth, Lu Li had to think about them.

At this moment, the more than two hundred elites who were originally determined to live and die, heard that there was hope for life, and their eyes instantly filled with gratitude.

How ironic is this scene?

Japanese pirates are really hateful!

While his mind was agitated, Lu Li did not forget that he had business to do.

With the piles of piles piled up, the straw under the city has been piled up very high, and the siege engines that pretended to be pushed over are getting closer and closer.

The downpour can disable the firearms of the Ming army, but it cannot stop the true fire of Samadhi.

A ball of fist-sized flames was thrown out, and then, the Five Bird Fan exchanged with someone in A Chinese Ghost Story appeared in his hand.

This magical tool that can fuel the fire rose against the wind. Lu Li fanned it twice vigorously, and the Samadhi True Fire, which was only the size of a fist, spread rapidly. It quickly evaporated the rainwater below and ignited the grass and wood.

"Use this to resist temporarily. After two hours, immediately withdraw and go to the west gate."

Pass the lupine to a hundred households.

In fact, under the fire of Samadhi, this city gate will collapse by itself at most overnight, and it won't be able to hold for too long.
