Chapter 1498 The Japanese are facing the sky, and prepare a little gift
The sun had already set, and in the blood-red afterglow, Naoshima Naoo and Matsuura Sanbanlang led fifty-seven Japanese pirates swaggeringly along the official road and walked straight to Yingtian City. They walked very leisurely and pointed to the giant Yingtian city not far away. , Talking and laughing, it doesn't look like a siege, but like a spring outing.
The Japanese pirates walked leisurely, but Yingtian City couldn't get up leisurely. They looked at the Japanese pirates strolling leisurely outside the city.
Every time the Japanese pirates' leisurely footsteps approached the city, the tension and fear of the officials and common people in the city increased.
When the Japanese pirates appeared within a stone's throw of Yingtian City, and their ferocious faces could be seen clearly from the city, the panic in Yingtian City reached its peak.
This group of Japanese pirates is extremely arrogant and terrifying. The leading Japanese chieftain is dressed in a gorgeous Japanese-style armor decorated with red textures, and holds a gleaming Japanese sword. Holding a bright yellow umbrella and riding a captured war horse, it has great visual impact.
Red clothes riding a horse Zhang Huanggai!
This is too much, Zhang Huanggai is the emperor's reliance, this group of Japanese pirates invaded Yingtian Peidu, and Daming's face has already been slapped, and now the Japanese pirates have usurped the emperor's support, this is no longer an ordinary slap in the face , This is stepping on Daming's face under his feet and rubbing and rubbing fiercely! Moreover, he stepped on Emperor Jiajing's face fiercely, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm heavily.
The officials on Yingtian City Wall saw the outfits of the Japanese chieftains, all of them paled. They understood that once the current scene was reported to the case of Emperor Jiajing, the Holy Majesty's thunderous anger would double and redouble.
The emperor was furious, laying down millions of corpses. I am afraid that I don’t know how many black hats of the colleagues present will be lost! Originally, the Japanese invaders invaded Yingtian City, and a large number of black hats in Nanzhili, Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials had to be lost. Now the Japanese chieftains Such presumptuousness, I am afraid that this black hat will be more than doubled.
How many common people have been harmed by the Japanese pirates, these officials don’t feel much deeply.
"A catastrophe! A catastrophe is imminent!"
"The Japanese chieftain dares to insult my Ming Dynasty like this! Such a madman deserves to be hacked into pieces! Your Majesty, you are ashamed of your Majesty!"
"The Japanese head is so powerful, the Holy One is bound to be furious, what should I do now?! What should I do?!""
All the officials present felt as if they were mourning their wives, beating their chests and feet, and they were much more nervous and fearful than ordinary people.
In addition to the Japanese head, the rest of the Japanese pirates are also dressed in hideous and terrifying Japanese armor, holding Japanese swords, Taidao and other cold, hideous and terrifying weapons. The Mediterranean-style hairstyle of the Japanese pirates looks like a disheveled ghost in **** to the officials and people in the city. The Taidao held by the Japanese pirates is almost twice as long as that of the Ming army's waist sword. All the officials and people on the city wall were terrified.
In addition, this group of fierce Japanese crowns also pulled three carriages. The carriages were covered with black linoleum. I don’t know what was covered under them. While the officials and people on the city wall were terrified, they were also a little curious about what the Japanese pirates were pulling. "
"What is the Japanese pirate pulling? Gunpowder?! Could it be that they want to use gunpowder to blow up the city block?!"
Someone whispered.
However, people are not very worried about this speculation. Firstly, it is not easy for Japanese pirates to approach the city wall to blast, and secondly, the power of gunpowder is limited. These three carts of gunpowder seem to be a lot, but they can't blow up the city wall. Indeed, the power of gunpowder in this era is limited, and the ratio formula is different from that of modern black powder. The gunpowder formula in this era is also mixed with some messy sundries such as cinnabar, poisonous smoke, etc. The ratio is not pure, and the power of blasting is poor. More than one hundred and eight thousand miles. "
"Is it possible that what the Japanese pirates pull is food and supplies?"
The people in the city considered this possibility again, guessing whether what the pirates pulled was their food and supplies. Are the Japanese pirates planning to besiege and attack Yingtian City for a long time?! But they can only fight with only fifty or so people. Besides, the Japanese pirates burned, killed and looted all kinds of crimes. They don't need food, grass and supplies. If they are hungry, they can just go to the surrounding villages and towns to rob them. This is what they have always done.
Therefore, people are also skeptical about this kind of speculation.
What exactly was pulled on the Japanese pirate carriage? ! Apart from fear, everyone on the city wall kept guessing.
The answer will be revealed soon.
After the Japanese pirates arrived at the base of the city, they drove the carriage and continued to move forward.
"Let the arrows! Let the arrows! Don't let the Japanese pirates get close, don't give them a chance to perform any tricks!"
"Shoot the arrow!"
Shi Pengfei, the right servant of the Ministry of War, and several generals shouted almost in unison, ordering the defenders to shoot arrows!
whoosh whoosh
The Ming army on the city wall responded with arrows.
Immediately, a wave of feathered arrows flew down, the effect was not enough to compliment, only about one-fifth of the feathered arrows belonged to the normal level, and the other two-thirds of the feathered arrows were either shot too close or missed It's too outrageous.
The Japanese pirates looked at the feathered arrows of the Ming army and laughed. They were not nervous at all, because they had already estimated the distance and stopped outside the arrow of the Ming army. The feather arrows of the Ming army only had one-fifth of the feathers The arrow landed two or three meters in front of them, and the others either fell to the ground weakly or missed by a thousand miles.
"Only one-fifth of the feathered arrows are barely passable. Hehe, is this the imperial army of the Ming Dynasty?! The level of archery is not much better than that of the soldiers in the county! It seems that the imperial army of the Ming Dynasty is nothing to worry about."
Matsuura Sanbanlang roughly counted the number of feather arrows, twitched the corners of his mouth, and let out a disdainful sneer.
"Hehe, this trip to Yingtian was not in vain, and the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty are just like this, most of them are incompetent people. In the future, His Highness can rest assured that all the troops will come." Naoshima Naonan also laughed loudly .
"The officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are nothing to worry about, but the city of the Ming Dynasty is really tall. Such a huge city is really an eye-opener for me. I once went to Shangjing with the family governor, but Shangjing is far inferior to this."
Sanbanlang Matsuura looked at Ying Tiancheng and said with emotion.
"Hehe, no matter how tall the city is, there will be a day when it will be captured. There is no exception. Let us try this time." Naoshima Naoio licked his lips, turned his head and waved to the Japanese pirates driving the car, and ordered, "Send the gift to Give it to Mingren."
Several Japanese pirates who were driving the carriage let out a high, slapped the horse's buttocks hard, drove the horse forward, and at the same time vigorously lifted the linoleum.
"Hahaha, Ming people, we have come from afar, and we have prepared a small gift, which is not a respect, and I invite you to work with a smile."
Naoshima laughed out loud, and shouted loudly to the officials and people on Tiancheng, his laugh was extremely ferocious and terrifying.
After being flattered, he ran forward in shock, and the linoleum was uncovered by Japanese pirates, and the things on the carriage immediately came into the eyes of officials and people in Yingtian City.
"Ah?! Human head, human head!"
"Oh my god, they're all human heads, I'm scared to death."
"what!!!"
When everyone on the city wall saw three carts full of heads, they screamed uncontrollably, and their panic was multiplied instantly! Many timid officials and citizens were scared to pee their pants, and even a weak official rolled his eyes and passed out in fright. The people around were slapped and pinched again, and they were rescued after some operations, but the atmosphere of panic increased sharply again, spreading across the city in an instant like a plague.
