The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 527 Reinforcements have arrived

In the blink of an eye, the Japanese pirate fell off the ladder in reluctance.

Some of the Japanese pirates were very brave. They blocked the stabbing weapons and rushed to the city wall, but they were greeted by the weapons of other soldiers and civilians on the wall.

However, as more Japanese pirates rushed up, gaps appeared in several defense lines, and more Japanese pirates rushed up.

Moreover, these pirates were quite powerful, and the soldiers and civilians on the city wall were caught off guard. More and more pirates were about to rush up.

One of the city guards suddenly ignored the opponent's hacking and hugged the Japanese pirate. When the opponent's knife hit his shoulder, he held the opponent tightly.

He bit the man's throat and tore it off with all his strength. The city guard swallowed the flesh and blood.

At this moment, he looked like a ghost and extremely terrifying. The remaining Japanese pirates were frightened by him.

But they still stabbed their samurai swords into the body of the city guard. Seeing that he was doomed to die, the city guard grinned at his comrades and the people around him.

"Brothers, I'm leaving first... We must kill all these bastards and beasts!" After he said this, he rushed towards the nearest Japanese pirate.

The moment the opponent's knife stabbed his brother, he shouted loudly.

"You sons of bitches, I'll take you down with me even if I die. Haha, I killed three of them, it's not a loss!"

Then, he hugged the Japanese pirate and rushed towards the city wall, and both of them fell from the wall.

When the surrounding city guards saw this scene, their eyes turned bloodshot and they howled to the sky, then they pounced on the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates were fearless and neither were the civilians in the city defense army. Faced with the beast-like Japanese, they could only use their own blood to fight for a glimmer of life for the people behind them.

Throughout the city wall, scenes of Japanese pirates, civilians, and city guards dying together could be seen from time to time. However, these city guards and civilians were able to kill at least two or three Japanese pirates before they died.

They were determined to die, and were fighting to the death. The Japanese pirates could not withstand such a battle.

Although they are fearless and brave, that is based on their ferocious mentality. But once they encounter someone more ferocious than them, they will become timid.

The city guards and the people of Yongning Prefecture used their bravery and determination to scare the Japanese pirates into death.

The five or six hundred Japanese pirates who rushed up were all killed, and more than two hundred soldiers and civilians were also killed in Yongning Prefecture.

However, their fearless and desperate fighting style frightened the remaining Japanese pirates who were attacking the city, and they no longer dared to attack the city.

Of the nearly 400 Japanese pirates who attacked the city, less than 400 escaped. Their faces were pale and their eyes were full of fear.

Seeing this scene, Inoue Hikoichi and Kimura Koji were horrified. They looked towards the direction of Yongning City in shock, with extremely ugly expressions.

They thought they could defeat the will of the soldiers and civilians in the city with a fierce offensive, but they never expected that they would be defeated first.

The two men were a little frustrated and immediately gave the order to attack again.

Most of the Japanese pirates were frightened by the bravery of the soldiers and civilians in Yongcheng, and were a little timid for a while, but after the order was given, they had to attack.

Just then, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar, like a torrent.

Everyone was attracted by the sound and looked into the distance, only to see plumes of smoke and dust covering the sky and the sun several miles away.

From afar, Fu Weimin on the city wall saw the flag on the cavalry team. A large Qin character fluttered in the wind.

When he saw the word "Qin", Fu Weimin's expression was a little dazed, but in an instant he burst into tears of joy, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Yes...it's the King of Qin who came to save us..." He pointed tremblingly in the direction where the cavalry was rushing. Although, he couldn't see the cavalry's appearance clearly.

But the word "Qin" on the huge flag gave him hope.

The generals, soldiers and civilians on the city wall also saw the flag and tears welled up in their eyes. Their lips trembled and they could not utter a word.

They were in despair and had always wanted rescue, but when the rescue came and they saw hope, they seemed to have forgotten to speak out.

Only Fu Weimin's trembling voice was still ringing in his ears. However, after a long time, Fu Weimin came back to his senses. He looked at the soldiers and civilians with great joy and said:

"My fellow soldiers, did you see that? The court has not forgotten us. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has come to save us! That flag with the word Qin on it means His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin... It means His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin... Haha... Long live the Prince of Qin..."

He turned around and knelt down facing the cavalry in the distance.

Following his voice, all the soldiers and civilians on the city wall knelt down, tears welling up in their eyes. Everyone looked up to the sky and laughed. Cheers broke out from the city wall.

Under the city wall, a group of Japanese pirates heard the sound of horse hooves, but could not see the situation in the distance. They could only see billowing smoke and dust coming closer and closer.

Hearing the cheers from the city wall, Inoue Hikoichi and Kimura Koji knew that reinforcements from Dayan had arrived. The two looked at each other with disdain in their eyes.

They had an army of 20,000, and although the smoke and dust on the other side was heavy, it looked like the number of troops was not that large. They were confident that they could defeat the army of Dayan with one against ten.

In addition, we are now in a favorable geographical position and are well-rested, so no matter how many reinforcements come, they will all be dead.

"Form a formation... and meet the enemy!" Inoue Hikoichi snorted coldly.

Then, the Japanese pirates in the rear quickly lifted the wooden blocks that were blocking the horses and put them in front. They had long thought that Dayan might send cavalry.

The way to deal with cavalry is of course to make them lose their advantages. As long as the cavalry cannot charge, then no matter how many cavalry they have, they will eventually become a joke.

At the same time, the Japanese soldiers also formed a battle formation behind the horse blocking stakes. Even if there were war horses rushing over, they would be killed by them in the end.

On the city wall, after cheering, everyone came back to their senses. Looking at the formation of the Japanese army, their faces suddenly changed and worry appeared in their eyes.

"Sir, those coming are cavalry, numbering about 5,000. Can this amount of troops really fight against the Japanese pirates?" The commander of the city guards looked solemn when he saw this scene.

Fu Weimin also had a grim expression and clenched his fists. Although the 5,000 or so cavalry looked very powerful, the Japanese pirates' countermeasures made him worry that the cavalry would suffer.

They wanted to help but couldn't. If the city gates were opened at this time, even if the remaining thousand-plus city guards all left the city, they would probably be killed by the Japanese pirates.

It would even allow the Japanese pirates to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the entire Yongning City.

"I can... I definitely can... because it's His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin..." Fu Weimin gritted his teeth and comforted himself.

He placed all his confidence in the reputation of King Qin Jiang Fan. After all, Jiang Fan was the most prominent person in the entire Dayan.
