Although according to Yamashita's confession, they originally planned to do it three days later, but if the remaining 200 Japanese pirates see Yamashita and they don't return for a long time, they will definitely find that the situation is not good, and they are very likely to act early.

The biggest possibility is tonight.

The people in the city gathered one after another to carry the fallen rocks and search for bricks and tiles. Only two city gates in Yongchun County were opened, and the distances were relatively close.

This brings convenience for pre-war preparations.

The people gathered under the city wall to boil water, and the more capable women sharpened the heads of the bamboo poles, so that the stabbing would be more lethal, and the younger children were responsible for sending stones and sticks to the tower.

The young and middle-aged people are also wearing the clothes of the government servants issued by the government at this moment, pretending to be regular soldiers. Naturally, the enemy army can't see their appearance clearly for a while. Seeing that there are many regular soldiers in the city, it may cause Heart of fear.

Finally, sunset.

Torches were lit on the city walls of Yongchun County, and people with better eyesight were called to look from top to bottom. Each of them was given a bamboo whistle to warn them if they felt something was wrong.

Tonight is a new moon, the moonlight is very weak, and the lighting effect is very poor.The people on the city wall were Ming, Xia Anran asked the young and strong to line up every once in a while, walk around the city wall, and walked back and forth several times, pretending to be a large number of people in Yongchun.

But all was calm until midnight.

People here generally lack vitamin A, and they all suffer from night blindness more or less. The people in Yongchun County are not bad. It is close to the sea, and they often eat some seafood. But according to Yamashita, the Japanese regime is unstable and wars are raging. There is a lack of food, let alone fish, and they can't even eat radish. Naturally, their eyesight is not as good as that of Yongchun County.

But Xia Anran didn't dare to take it lightly. Now the people in the county office basically haven't slept for nearly [-] hours. It is the time of extreme sleepiness, and this time is the most prone to accidents.

But even he, in the midst of his high concentration, couldn't help but feel a little sleepy. Su Qiming patted him on the shoulder, and then told everyone to switch to the second shift. The weather is not cold now, so put on some clothes and stand by the wind It's okay to squint for a while.

Substitution after two hours.

Xia Anran obediently put on some clothes, and sat in a leeward corner. He stretched out his hand and took out the little clay figurine hidden in his sleeve pocket.

A little white cat and a clay figurine cuddling with a little black rabbit.

He held the clay figurine, closed his eyes, and stroked the rabbit with his fingertips.

Shen Qi... Shen Qi.

He silently recited that person's name, as if he could gain courage by relying on these two words.

He doesn't know how the situation in Nantai is now. Since some Japanese pirates have fled to them, what about there?

The businessman said before that they were repelled there. Could there be an enemy attack on Nantai?So what about Shen Qi, is he injured?

[Does the host want to know the surrounding situation? 】

The system automatically turns on when he doesn't call, [the system can send messages. 】

Xia Anran's eyes didn't open, but her knuckles tightened, "What price?"

[The host has obtained 1421 merit points in this world because of improving soil quality, creating machinery, and teaching knowledge. The system can use the host's [-] points of merit to open the surrounding red-named map for the host, which lasts for [-] hours. May I ask the host if exchange】

Xia Anran didn't rush to agree, he first asked a question, "What's the merit value?"

[The merit value can help the little demon survive the catastrophe smoothly, the higher the merit value, the higher the success rate of crossing the catastrophe.The merit value of the task world is different, and you can see the cumulative total of the merit value when you return to the host world.The highest exchangeable merit value in this world is [-] points. 】

"What else can I exchange for?"

[The host level is low, and currently only maps can be exchanged. 】

"Change it," the voice just finished, and in the blink of an eye, a compass-shaped map appeared in his line of sight, and the system's voice sounded a bit joyful [The map scan range is ten miles in radius. 】

Ten miles... That's about five kilometers.

In the case of a good line of sight, there are almost as many positions that a person can see.Xia Anran made a decision: tasteless skills.

It is probably at night when it is useful, but I don’t know if this map can be turned off during the day?

On the map, he could see all the blue colors representing his own side, and a small arrow of his location. There were no other colors around, which should mean that there were no enemies.

He thought about it for a while, stood up and said to Su Qiming, "Master Su, go and have a rest first, I'll watch at night."

Su Qiming turned his head and looked at him, and nodded when he saw that he didn't look tired, and took over with Xia Anran, and told him to wake him up if there was any enemy.

Master Zhizhou's treatment was better. He spread a straw mat on the leeward side, and slept there with his arm as a pillow.

Xia Anran sat on the city wall and watched it all night.

There is no enemy.

But this is not a good thing, now that the Yongchun channel is broken, they can't be sure whether the Japanese pirates are going to attack the nearby villages and towns, and what's worse, they can't be sure whether the Japanese pirates will attack Yongchun County again.

If they persisted like this, and the Japanese pirates did not come to attack in the end, they used the government food that should be paid... I am afraid that he and Mr. Su will be punished.

The next day, the gates of the city were still closed, but during the daytime, those who guarded the city could relax a bit. Xia Anran and Su Qiming changed shifts, and everyone paid attention to the direction of several villages, but strangely, it was also calm there.

If these Japanese pirates were not really caught, it would be considered a trick of torture, even Xia Anran would doubt whether his guess was wrong, but fortunately Su Qiming trusts him, Su Qiming trusts him, the people will not have other thoughts, Although they cannot leave the city, their activities within the city are not restricted.

Xia Anran felt a little anxious, not only was he anxious, but the county captain also showed an anxious expression.

The county captain is a person who has no sense of presence on weekdays, but Xia Anran knows that his intuition is very accurate.

There must be something that they overlooked.

But he couldn't remember what he had overlooked.

Until the second night, Xia Anran was on the night shift as usual. Up to now, although everyone has taken turns to rest, they are not very energetic. Fortunately, they are not very tired.The ladies in the city brought some dry food at night, so that the people on duty could be more energetic, and Xia Anran was also given a steamed bun.

Just when everyone thought that tonight would be passed safely, Xia Anran's map interface turned red, and he woke up instantly.

There are densely packed red dots, the number of people under the city wall brought by their blue dots is only more than 300, and the number of red dots on the opposite side is twice as many as here.

The sound of the bamboo whistle pierced the sky. It was almost dawn at this time, and it was the best time to sleep alone. Although the sun had not risen yet, the sky was already slightly bright.

After the bamboo whistle was blown, the city guards looked out. From the west of Yongchun Prefecture, there were five or six hundred people coming, and they were carrying a tree.

Tree!

Xia Anran's pupils shrank.

They guessed wrong. They thought that the number of these Japanese pirates was limited, so naturally they would not try to attack the city with pebbles and stones, but the village was more dangerous.

But the fact is that their number far exceeds expectations. For these Japanese pirates, the benefits they get from attacking the village are no longer enough to satisfy them. What they want is to break through Yongchun City directly.

There is a county treasury and a government treasury in the city, both of which contain taxes and grains that have not been paid this year.

As for the defenders.

The person in charge has figured out the situation of Yongchun's garrison.

Although there are thousands of people in Yongchun City, and they only have 600 people, as long as the thousands of unarmed people break through the city, they are just a group of chickens, and it will take some time to kill them.

Just break open the city gate.

He licked the corner of his lips.

Showed a greedy smile.

If Yamashita was here now, he would definitely recognize that this person was the one who leaked the news about Sanhetu after drinking.

I'm afraid even Yamashita didn't know that there were only more than 400 people on the merchant ship at that time, but another [-] people quietly fell behind in their own Japanese boat. Yamashita never dreamed that he thought he was an oriole , in fact, he is just a praying mantis.

It was still a stupid praying mantis that was so stupid that the oriole jumped into it before it could make a move.

It also exposed them.

The leader stood in front of Yongchun City, they stood in the range of Yongchun City's bow and arrow shooting, and showed a grim smile at the people on the wall.

He waved his hand, "Hi there."

He spoke Chinese with a correct accent, and then raised the Japanese sword, "Are you ready? Go to hell!"

The Japanese pirates around him all showed excited expressions.

The yamen servants on the wall were all frightened by their neurotic performance, but they didn't retreat, instead they held the handle of the knife in their hands.

They were the defenders of the city, so they had an inherent advantage. Even if they sawed off the trees and wanted to attack the city gate, the gate of Yongchun city was made of solid wood, which was very difficult to break through.

And if they want to attack the city, they will be a living target.

Yongchun has never encountered a city siege before, but everyone has read the story books and heard "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and knows that if you want to attack the city, you must first climb the city wall. If you want to climb the city wall, then push them down. up.

It is extremely simple, but this group of people are ordinary people who have not been trained.

After the siege began, their weaknesses were exposed.

The difference between soldiers and civilians is that soldiers can rely on a lot of training and willpower to have higher obedience, but civilians do not.

The Japanese pirates obviously knew this very well. They divided into two teams, using the tree trunk as a bridge, and crossed the moat. One team took back the trees, and the other team held wooden signs to guard them. If there were regular troops on the wall, they would be They absolutely dare not do this, but the defenders of Yongchun are all civilians, their attack accuracy is not good, and because of fear, their hands are weak.

Seeing this, Xia Anran didn't say anything, and sent people to go to the city gate directly, instead of using arrows, she threw stones down directly.

The stones leaned on their own weight and were dropped from above. It was true that they did not need to aim their heads to hit the Japanese, but those Japanese seemed to be crazy. One, with a bloody smile on his face.

This is really scary.

As if fighting a lunatic, the guys in Yongchun City felt their goosebumps were flying, but Xia Anran's expression was serious.

He felt that the mental state of these Japanese pirates was a bit wrong. This state of not feeling pain but full of excitement seemed a bit abnormal, but such enemies were terrifying.

The city wall was knocked loudly. Although the soldiers guarding the city above had worked very hard, the number of people injured and killed by them so far was very limited. The key is that the Japanese pirates acted too strictly. Part of the main attack.

Xia Anran stood at the entrance of the city wall, and the people in the city had been evacuated to another entrance. He directed the young and strong men to move out heavy objects to block the gate, from bottom to top. Fortunately, the city had prepared for the laying of compound soil. Lime, now these limes are piled by Xia Anran at the door, together with hot water.

The city gate showed some looseness, and the yamen servants on the city wall yelled in panic, looking like they were running in all directions. All this made the pirates even more excited. They still kept their defensive movements unchanged, but the posture that lasted for more than an hour had obviously made their movements a little out of shape.

At this moment, white powder fluttered down.

Bag after bag of quicklime was poured down.

This action caught the Japanese pirates by surprise. Only a few of them squatted down and rubbed their eyes because of the white powder falling into their eyes, but most of them were not hurt.

Are the Han people stupid?

Of course the Han people were not stupid, and the Han people quickly poured hot water from top to bottom.

When hot water encounters quicklime, a rapid boiling reaction occurs, which is not comparable to just pouring hot water.

The main component of lime is calcium oxide, which forms calcium hydroxide when it meets water. Calcium hydroxide itself is corrosive, and the heat released in this process is nearly [-] degrees. As long as the reaction is not completed, it will keep exothermic , and lime will adhere to the skin when it meets water.

The Japanese pirates lacked resources and it was summer, so they naturally didn't wear a lot of clothes. Most of them covered their weak spots with leather or armor, but a large piece of skin was exposed on their bodies.

This time the lime rain caused several times more damage than before, especially the few people closest to the door. They got the most lime on their bodies and rolled all over the ground in pain. The ground at the gate of Yongchun City is paved with composite soil, which is very water-absorbent. Unfortunately, a lot of the hot water that was poured just now is still on the ground, and this rolling made some parts of the body that hadn't touched the water get water again, and the screams became louder and louder.

This situation baffled the people who were not sprinkled with water in the rear. In their view, the people in front were just drenched in hot water.Calcium hydroxide is not very corrosive to the skin, and it looks like the skin is red, which makes the Japanese pirates feel that they are just scalded by water. When he got up, he spat, signaled others to go on top, and continued to hit the wall.

The Yongchun people noticed this change from above, and seeing that this group of people were made up by those who hadn't been drenched in the water just now, Xia Anran signaled not to waste quicklime, just pour hot water directly.

It wasn't until two or three times that the Japanese pirates finally realized that the white powder might not have been sprinkled by the Han people to captivate their eyes, but for another purpose.

This annoyed the heads of the Japanese pirates, seeing that the city gate was about to be broken, but now the Han people suddenly took out this inexplicable weapon, because of the fear of this unknown thing, the fortifying wine that the Japanese pirates drank before the battle also sobered up When they came over, their partners were still rolling on the ground.

The screams made them want to retreat.

Someone woke up from the previous state of passionate rush, and felt that there was no need for them to break through the city gate. They could go to the nearby villages to grab rice. This location is a bit far from their boat. It is also over the mountains, and everyone has to carry it back... There are not many transports in the first place, so why break the city?

Once a person has the intention to retreat, his actions will show it. On the contrary, the people of Yongchun saw that this method was useful, and the hands holding the water basin did not feel sore. They knocked on the water basin on the city gate as if to pounce, watching Those Japanese people wanted to dodge and cared about the shape of the tree trunk in their hands, all showing excited expressions.

As long as a man has blood on his head, he has nothing to be afraid of.

Xia Anran also went up the city wall. Looking down, there were no more than a dozen people who fell, and the pirates were not stupid. After a moment of panic, the leader took off the clothes of the people who rolled on the ground, shook them, and then Wrap it on your own body, and the rest of the people followed suit, and also grabbed people's clothes and wrapped them on their exposed skin. If there was not enough fabric, they covered their heads. This is indeed a good way.

It is true that they do not need eyesight to knock on the door.

Xia Anran asked the county captain, "Is the bow and arrow ready?"

After he got a confirmed answer, he stepped aside and let the archer take his place.

He also took over the bow himself. There are not many people who are good at bows in Yongchun County. Xia Anran only learned it after entering school. His archery skills are average, but at such a short distance, it is from top to bottom, and the bottom is densely populated. Anyone with basic knowledge can hit a few.

Just now, the Japanese pirates held up their shields to block the falling rocks. At that time, after a round of lime water, their rhythm was greatly disrupted. Before the Japanese could adjust, the Yongchun people set up arrows, and the Japanese pirates fell down a few by surprise. , the rest of the people moved so quickly that they raised their shields and leaned over to avoid the arrows.

Arrows can't be used much, especially in Yongchun, a town that has no experience in fighting foreign enemies. Their weapons inventory is already insufficient. Seeing that they have integrated their formation, Xia Anran has another plan.

A certain amount of edible oil has been collected before, and this was collected by Song Qiming. He asked someone to take the rice stalks, chop them up and soak them in the cooking oil. The rice stalks were hollow, and the oil was quickly sucked in. These rice stalks were put aside alone. Seeing Xia Anran retracting his bow, Song Qiming immediately followed. He ordered someone to sprinkle the rice stalks down first. Naturally, the Japanese didn’t know that they stopped shooting arrows, and they still kept moving. The voice was even more unaware, and continued to put the shield on his head.

Of course, their shields are not the shields used by the army, but wooden shields made of sawed wood.

Wooden shields are afraid of fire.

As soon as the rice stalks fell on the shield, the oil remained. Seeing this, the government servants broke the remaining part of the oil, and then dropped several torches, which caused a fire. The Japanese pirates were in a hurry again. Taking advantage of the water on the ground, they wanted to immerse the shield in the water, but there was oil on the shield, and the oil spread quickly when it touched the water. When they saw Japanese pirates rioting again, the people of Yongchun didn't need Xia Anran's reminder, just bend over. Bow and nock.

In such a round, the Japanese attacking the city were made into a mess, but this also aroused their bloodiness. After the leader swung a knife and killed a few people who wanted to retreat, he looked up at Yongchun City, panting heavily. Angry, the bloodshot eyes burst out, "I will definitely break this city!"

"I want to use the corpses of these people as seats for me!"

"I will use the head of their leader to fill me with fine wine."

"kill!"

"Kill kill kill!"

The Japanese were shocked by this, and no longer cared about the harassment from the Yongchun people. They extinguished the flames on their shields and reorganized their formation. One team raised their shields to block, and the other team was responsible for hitting the door.

Under such circumstances, the gate of Yongchun city is inevitably crumbling.Although there is a pile of material blocking the door, it is nothing more than a delay.

Xia Anran tore off a piece of fabric, tied the knife with his hands, changed his official robe, and said to Su Qiming, "My lord, please stay away for now."

Su Qiming looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly laughed, seeing that he also took off his official robe, folded it, and took off his official hat and put it on top of it, he took a deep breath and took a soldier beside him Like Xia Anran, he also wrapped the knife around his hand with cloth.

"What nonsense?"

"Where is Xia An, magistrate of Yongchun County?"

"Xia Anran is here!"

"I order you to go down the city wall and lead the young and middle-aged women and children to go first."

"My lord!" Xia Anran's eyes widened, and she looked at him in disbelief.

This well-mannered Mr. Su, who had met him in Gusu, put on the battle armor handed over by the yamen servant, and threw out a sword, "Magistrate Xia, hurry up and take orders."

He smiled and said, "Back then, I was a gentleman with six arts, but all of them were excellent."

"I am the magistrate of Yongchun."

"Yongchun is here, I am here."

"When Yongchun dies, I must die first."

Su Qiming, a 32-year-old Jinshi, his first wife's father was a third-rank official, who worked for him when he was an official, and was assigned to the affluent Gusu as a county magistrate. In his first year in office, he uncovered the largest child trafficking case in history. In the child case, more than [-] children were rescued successively. In the following two years, due to the economic development in Gusu City and the people living and working in peace and contentment, they were rated as the first class. Wait, in less than ten years, he was promoted to the fifth-rank Tongzhou.

He is friendly, he likes to laugh, and the official reviews are excellent.

Fifth-rank officials are not allowed to bring their family members with them. Mr. Su’s wife and children stay in his hometown. He takes up the post alone and does not take concubines here. In his free time, he likes to hang out in civilian alleys in casual clothes. Going to make fun of it, at first it was often misunderstood by the common people, but after a long time, everyone knew about Master Zhizhou’s little hobbies, so they often asked the children to stuff Master Zhizhou with candy and peanuts to eat and play.

Before Xia Anran came, Master Su had always been the most popular person in Yongchun Prefecture.

Later Xia Anran came, and the two of them together became the second most popular people in Yongchun Prefecture.The first is Xia Duoduo.

Mr. Su has always shown himself to be gentle and gentle, and now he is wearing a battle armor. He stands on the city wall and directs the servants to attack with water and fire. The Japanese pirates saved about [-] people. Stay, the fewer people rushing in, the better.

He stood with a sword and became the belief of thousands of people in Yongchun City.

The author has something to say: Xia Miao asked me to tell you: if you learn mathematics, physics, chemistry and earth well, you will not be afraid to travel all over the world.

The next world is Three Kingdoms!The author rubbed his little hands excitedly.

Don't worry, because the author can't write all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, so Xia Miao is probably the type who develops secretly in a corner (the outline is)

Standing for Cao Wei, but not against Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Babies who have caught up to the present should know that the author doesn’t like to belittle anyone (although I wrote it in pain) because I think the level of the enemy can prove your own level, just like Cao Cao also admitted that Liu Bei is a very good enemy Same.I hope you can like my Three Kingdoms...

By the way, I once said that writing the Three Kingdoms is to avoid becoming a gourmet article...
