Chapter 1139 The Fall of Taiping (Part 2)
Xiahou County Prime Minister had just left the south gate on his front foot, but the housekeeper Liu Qi sat on a basket and descended the city wall on his back foot.
After the housekeeper Liu Qi left, Wangzhi County sent people to search for gold, silver, treasures, silk and cloth in the county on the grounds of raising materials to fight against the Japanese. , were all labeled as passive imperialists or even Japanese pirates.
Under the unscrupulous search by Wangzhi County, the peace gifts dedicated to the Japanese pirates were quickly collected.
"My lord, I am fortunate to fulfill my mission. The young one risked his life, so to speak, it was finally finalized with the Japanese pirates outside the city, and they agreed. As long as we send out the gifts successfully, once they receive the gifts, as long as they are enough, They promised to withdraw the siege immediately and transfer their troops to Ninghai County."
Not long after, the housekeeper Liu Qi returned from the Japanese pirate camp, once again sat on the city wall in a basket, and reported to Wang Zhixian with a look of merit.
"good very good."
After listening to Liu Qi's reply, Wang Zhixian's heart finally fell back into his stomach.
Soon, several ropes were hung down on the city wall of the south gate, and boxes of gold and silver jewellery, baskets of silk and cloth were sent to the bottom of the city wall for peace gifts. The leader is Yuji Aso, who has done crime and meritorious service, with a bandage wrapped diagonally across his back.
There were too many gifts, and it lasted half a cup of tea time, but less than one-tenth of the gifts were given away.
"Baga! It's too slow, it's so slow, how long will it take to deliver the gift! I'm getting impatient."
Yuji Aso received the gift for a while under the city wall, and raised his head impatiently and shouted at Wang Zhixian and others on the city wall.
"This leader, please put out the fire. Nearly one-tenth of it has been sent down. Please wait a moment, we will add a few more ropes." Liu Qi, the housekeeper, quickly leaned on the city wall and explained to Aso Yuji.
"Baga! What can a few more ropes do? This method is too slow! We have to wait until the year of the monkey to collect enough gifts?! You guys, soldiers are expensive and fast, I don't understand. If you delay any longer, wouldn't it be a gift for you?" The preparation time in Ninghai County is over, if Zhan Ji is delayed, can you take care of it?! Giving a gift is so slow, like an old woman, is it possible that we are forced to eat in Gui County?! For a stick of incense time, I just I will give you a stick of incense time, if within a stick of incense, we have not received enough gifts, then the agreement you reached with us before will no longer count."
Aso Yuji half-drawn his Japanese sword, squinted his eyes, and threatened Wang Zhixian and others on the city wall in a sinister manner.
"The time for a stick of incense is too short, this leader, look, this gift is like a hill."
Butler Liu Qi scratched his head and said anxiously.
"Burning incense!" Aso Yuji ignored it, and asked a Japanese pirate to light an incense with a blank expression.
"Hey, hey" Liu Qi, the housekeeper, saw that Yuji Aso didn't give any room for negotiation, and was in a hurry, "Hey, boss, you are accommodating, we have all the gifts ready."
"You guys, the waste is huge. These gifts are no more than a dozen cars at best. If you put the gifts in the car, they will be sent out of the city at once." Aso Yuji said impatiently.
"Oh, that's right, it will be faster with a car." Hearing this, the butler Liu Qi couldn't help but clapped his hands, as if suddenly enlightened.
"Idiot! You have a pig's brain on your neck! Don't use your brain to think about it! Don't you know how fast you can use a car! But if you use a car, you need to open the city gate. If the pirates outside the city take advantage of the opening of the city gate Attacking the city, what should I do?! Don’t lose my wife and lose my army! Become the laughing stock of the whole world!”
Wang Zhixian gave the housekeeper Liu Qi a hard look, and reprimanded him softly on the city wall.
"Ah? That's right! The Japanese pirates are so ferocious. If you attack the city while the gate is open, there is really no way. Trick!" Liu Qi, the housekeeper, listened to Wang Zhixian's reprimand, rubbed the back of his head in fear, and said again and again.
"Now that I can figure it out, I'm not too stupid! Do you know how to answer?!" Wang Zhixian cursed angrily.
"I know, I know." After the steward Liu Qi was scolded, he touched his head with a smile, then stuck his head out of the city wall, and said flatteringly to Aso Yuji who was under the city, "This leader, your army is mighty and majestic!" , if we open the city gate and send gifts out of the city by car, we have a lot of concerns. Please understand our concerns. We will send more people and more ropes to try to deliver the gifts to the city in the shortest possible time. In terms of time, please ask the leader to be a little more lenient."
"Baga! Are you questioning our integrity?! Now, the army is about to launch. If we delay the time and delay the opportunity for gifts, no one can afford it! Are you afraid that we will take the opportunity to attack the city?! Hmph, our Yamato is the most It’s about honesty, and it’s not true. However, since you are worried, let’s do this, my army retreats two miles. I will only take ten of the old, weak and sick to receive the gift of the frame, and the rest Twenty people will all retreat two miles with the army, so it’s okay, right?!”
Aso Yuji's face was livid, and he scolded the housekeeper Liu Qi in a stern voice, and then eased up a bit, and proposed.
After listening to Aso Yuji's words, the housekeeper Liu Qi's eyes lit up, and he felt that Aso Yuji's proposal was very feasible. The Japanese pirate army retreated two miles, and only ten people received gifts at the gate of the city, which is perfectly fine. We have hundreds of people here, and one person can drown these ten little pirates by spitting.
However, the housekeeper Liu Qi learned his lesson. Even though he thought it was feasible, he didn't reply Aso Yuji immediately. Instead, he went back and asked the magistrate Wang for instructions.
"Baga! Don't push yourself too hard! Shame on your face! Are you telling me that the army can't lift a knife anymore?!"
Seeing that there was no immediate reply on the city wall, Aso Yuji couldn't help being furious, drew out a Japanese sword and threatened loudly.
The thirty Japanese pirates behind Yuji Aso also drew their swords and clamored.
Hearing the clamor of the Japanese pirates in the city, Wang Zhixian focused on the "big picture", thought for a while and nodded slightly.
With the approval of Wangzhi County, the housekeeper Liu Qi immediately poked his head out of the city wall, and replied to Yuji Aso with a flattering face, "The leader calms down, the leader calms down, we agree. Please also ask the leader to inform your army to retreat. In your army When retreating, we also took advantage of this time to load gifts into the carts. As soon as your army retreats two miles, we will immediately open the city gates and send the gifts out of the city by chariot and horses, and hand them over to the leader."
After the agreement was reached, the Japanese pirate army began to retreat.
Wang Zhixian winked and asked the housekeeper Liu Qi to select ten people who looked the most elderly, weak, and disabled from thirty people under Aso Yuji, and stayed with Aso Yuji, and the remaining 20 people also followed the Japanese pirates. The army retreated two miles.
"Is it alright?! Hurry up and send the gifts out in the car, so we can get out of camp and go to Ninghai County early." After the Japanese pirate army retreated two miles, Aso Yuji brought ten old, weak, sick and disabled Japanese pirates to the gate of the city. Impatiently urged.
"Come, come, open the city gate."
Steward Liu Qi walked to the city gate and ordered it to be opened, followed by ten carts full of gifts.
Just in case, 150 soldiers and yamen servants armed with weapons followed closely behind to protect the city gate.
Wangzhi County, under the protection of heavy troops, stood not far away and commanded by remote control.
"Yaoxi, Yaoxi, it's not bad." Aso Yuji responded at the gate of the city, and came out of a cart to check a cart. He was very satisfied with the quantity and quality of the gifts presented by Taiping County, and reached out to pat the housekeeper. On Liu Qi's shoulder, he yelled and praised.
"Hehe." Seeing that the Japanese pirates were satisfied and in a good mood, Liu Qi, the housekeeper, also smiled apologetically.
One after another, when the last two were left, Yuji Aso waved his hand and said to the housekeeper Liu Qi with a smile on his face, "Liu Sang, your Taiping sincerity, from the eight carriages in front we I already felt it. The last two cars don’t need to be inspected, I have a lot of trust in you, you two go and pick up the cars, we should go too, don’t keep Ping Batou waiting for too long.”
Saying that, Yuji Aso waved his hand and ordered the two Japanese pirates behind him to fetch the carriage.
"That's, that's, we're doing business, don't worry, Your Majesty. Go north from here, follow the road, and Ninghai County is more than fifty miles away. Your Majesty, please go slowly." Liu Qi, the housekeeper, smiled like a chrysanthemum upon hearing this. like.
Two Japanese pirates came out in response, went to the city gate to pick up the last two carriages, and pushed them forward.
One step, two steps, three steps, just as he was about to walk out, a sudden change occurred, Aso Yujida drew out the Japanese sword with lightning speed, and a white light flashed, and the housekeeper Liu Qi beside him was captured A knife head.
At the same time, Aso Yuji yelled "Seize the door!".
When Liu Qi's head fell to the ground, his expression was still a smile like a chrysanthemum, and he didn't react until he died.
After Yuji Aso drew his sword, the other Japanese pirates also drew their swords and knocked down the defenders beside them. The two Japanese pirates pushing the carts in the innermost place quickly pushed the carts full of gifts to the open city gate, blocking the opening of the city. The gate made the defenders unable to close the city gate for a while.
Then the Japanese pirates outside quickly pushed the other eight carts into the gate of the city, forming a chariot formation, leaving only space for two people to run side by side. In the formation, Aso Yuji led ten Japanese pirates to block the gap, and one man acted as a chariot. Guan Wanfu is not open.
At the same time, the army of Japanese pirates ran at full speed beyond their capabilities, and charged into the city, their shouts of killing were earth-shattering.
Got it!
Ruined!
"Kill them, close the city gate!" Wang Zhixian's face turned pale suddenly, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, he jumped anxiously, and loudly ordered more than a hundred defenders in the city gate cave to kill Aso Yuji and others, and close the city gate.
However, soon, Aso Yuji and other Japanese pirates showed the defenders what it means to be brutal and inhumane!
There is a chariot formation by the side, although there are more than a hundred defenders in the city gate, only the first two can face Yuji Aso and the others, and the people led by Yuji Aso are all carefully selected from the Japanese pirates The generation with the strongest martial arts and the most lethal power came out (thirty of them, no matter how the housekeeper Liu Qi chose at the beginning), at this moment, the value of force is fully activated, and the brutality is in a mess, and the defenders who faced them were chopped down by them , The killing blood flowed into rivers, even if Aso Yuji and others were injured, they didn't blink their eyes, as if they didn't know the pain, they were as ferocious as the devil, and the defenders were frightened when they were killed for a while. No matter how they jumped and how they urged to order, the defenders were still unable to break through the car formation of Japanese pirates guarding the city gate.
Soon, the Japanese army came to kill.
After the army of Japanese pirates came, the ending was doomed, and the Nancheng Gate fell in a breath!
Taiping County has fallen!
