The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

If they had not been facing the crisis of Japanese pirates and he had not intervened, the people of the entire Yongning Prefecture might have rebelled against Dayan.

On the city wall, many people who were helping to defend the city heard the conversation between the two. Some had hope in their eyes, but most of them had disappointment on their faces.

In the current situation, there are 20,000 Japanese pirates outside the city. Not to mention whether the imperial court will intervene, even if the imperial court will intervene, who can fight against 20,000 Japanese pirates?

The armies of the five coastal cities were almost completely defeated when they fought against the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates had powerful swords and were fearless. Moreover, they fought in a coordinated manner, so their combat effectiveness was quite impressive.

If the troops sent were from inland provinces, it is estimated that even with 100,000 troops, they might not be able to gain the upper hand over these 20,000 Japanese pirates.

Moreover, I heard that the Japanese pirates had an army of nearly 300,000, and the number of Japanese pirates coming from Japan reached more than 400,000, almost all of them were soldiers.

It is said that many Japanese pirates are arriving one after another.

The Japanese pirates probably heard that the imperial court was indifferent to the coastal areas, so more and more Japanese pirates rushed over from the Wa Island.

When the number of Japanese pirates increases sharply, they may occupy the coastal areas and gradually invade the hinterland of Dayan and destroy Dayan.

Fu Weimin looked at the disbelieving eyes of the people and sighed.

Now the entire Yongning Prefecture is plunged into despair, and this despair may very well crush everyone's willpower.

If reinforcements don't come, he doesn't know how long he can hold out.

At the same time, in the Japanese pirate camp outside the city, the Japanese pirates who were besieging the city were resting and they were ready to start the next round of siege.

However, the defenders of Yongning Prefecture were too tenacious. They were even more doubtful about their lives. If they didn't capture the city, they might be in trouble.

For the Japanese pirates, Yongning Prefecture was a city that had to be captured. Otherwise, if the Yan army kept Yongning Prefecture here, it would hinder their control over the entire Dinghai Island.

"Mr. Inoue, Yongning Prefecture is too hard to deal with. If we don't take it down, we'll be in trouble when Dayan's reinforcements arrive!"

In the camp, a Japanese man with the middle of his head shaved was looking at Yongning City with a face full of worry.

He was about 1.6 meters tall, very skinny, with a small mustache on his philtrum. He looked very mean.

The man next to him, called Inoue-kun, was about 1.65 meters tall, also skinny, with his hair in the middle shaved off and a small braid tied at the back.

These two people are the chief and deputy chief coaches of this team, one is called Inoue Hikoichi and the other is called Kimura Koji.

The remaining Japanese pirates looked similar to the two of them, and were generally not tall.

Jing Yiyan showed a mocking look on his face at this time, glanced at Yongning Mansion, and said with disdain:

"Kumura Gun, don't worry. The spirit and will of the soldiers and civilians in Yongning Prefecture have reached their limit. We can capture it in the next two days. As for the imperial court, don't worry. They can't even protect themselves now, so how can they have time to care about us?"

Inoue Hikoichi was still aware of the information that Dayan was in chaos. He cooperated with the prince of Dayan to launch an attack along the coast. He was even waiting for the eighth prince of Dayan to fall into the trap and kill him.

But since the last contact with Dayan’s people a few months ago, there has been no news.

However, the news they received at that time was that Dayan was in turmoil and the Eighth Prince should have gone to Nanyue. They were afraid that he had already died by then.

If there is a great chaos, they will be attacked from multiple sides and Dayan itself cannot guarantee stability, so how can they have time to send reinforcements?

Didn’t you see that in a few months they had occupied five coastal cities, but no troops from Dayan came to support them?

It is precisely because of this that they have a greater ambition, which is to seize Dinghai Island and then Yongning Prefecture. In this way, their foundation will gradually become more solid.

By then, it is possible to use the coastal areas to radiate the entire Dayan and destroy Dayan bit by bit. They will establish their own regime on the land of Dayan.

There are many islands around Dinghai Island and the resources are also very rich, which is definitely an excellent base.

Once developed, it will be a continuous logistics base for them.

"Then do we have to continue the offensive today?" Kimura Koji looked at Inoue Hikoichi and asked.

Although the soldiers and civilians of Yongning Prefecture were under tremendous mental and moral pressure, they were the same. Twenty thousand people surrounded Yongning Prefecture, but they failed to capture it which was guarded by only two thousand people.

The loss of troops on their side was even greater than the loss of soldiers and civilians in the city.

"Why not attack? Their willpower has reached its limit. If we attack more vigorously, we may be able to capture Yongning Prefecture today." Inoue Hikoichi looked at Yongning City in front of him with a mocking face.

Upon hearing this, Kimura Koji nodded, and then he gave the order to the Japanese army that had just rested to attack the city.

Nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers began to approach the walls of Yongning Prefecture. The ladders that had been erected on the walls were still there, making it easier for them to attack.

The Japanese pirate in samurai clothing let out a strange cry, rushed towards the city wall in front with bloodshot eyes, and uttered bursts of Japanese from time to time.

"Go ahead, attack Yongning Mansion. There are plenty of beautiful girls for us to play with! We can kill people to our heart's content!"

"Haha... Kill them! They can't hold on any longer... I want Miss Hua, die, die..."

There were all kinds of shouts. These people were just like beasts, with unscrupulous looks on their faces and murderous and bloodthirsty eyes.

The willpower of the soldiers and civilians in the city has reached its limit, as has the Japanese pirates outside the city, but in order to maintain the willpower of these people.

The promise given by the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief was that after they captured Yongning City, they would be allowed to rape, plunder, kill and burn without restraint.

For such a promise, the eyes of these bloodthirsty beasts all lit up. During the ten days of attacking the city, they had already killed the women they had captured.

They were already a little impatient. Considering the more than 300,000 people in the city, women probably accounted for at least half of them, which was enough for them to have fun with!

On the city wall, the Yongning city guards and some civilians who came up to help could not hear any Japanese, but from the obscene and lewd looks of the Japanese, it was obvious that these beasts were trying to hold it in.

Thinking of their comrades being raped and killed by these beasts, the soldiers and civilians of Yongning Prefecture had blood in their eyes and a strong murderous intent gushed out of their chests.

Looking at the Japanese pirates rushing up the ladder, they clenched their weapons.

Unfortunately, all the bows and arrows had been used up long ago. Without long-range attacks, they could only fight head-on against the Japanese pirates.

When the first Japanese pirate climbed to the top of the ladder, a city guard stabbed him with a spear.

The Japanese pirate was very agile and dodged easily, but the sharp bamboo in the hands of the common people on the other side pierced the pirate's neck.
