At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

In the early hours of the morning, the Japanese pirates who attacked Shanyin County continued to attack the city for nearly four hours.

Although the sky had completely darkened, torches were lit everywhere inside and outside Shanyin County, illuminating the surrounding environment extremely brightly.

Under the command of Chong Heihu, the Japanese pirate army was unable to break into the city wall.

"Sir, the spies have sent news that the number of Japanese pirates gathered outside Shanyin County has exceeded 30,000."

"Including the Japanese pirates who died during the siege, the total number is about 35,000!"

When Xia Yun stood on the top of the mountain, looking indifferently at the battlefield below, Qin Tianye appeared beside Xia Yun.

"How many Japanese pirate troops are gathering?"

Xia Yun responded suddenly.

"According to the outposts' reconnaissance, no other Japanese pirate reinforcements were found within a radius of fifty miles."

Qin Tianye continued to respond.

Hearing this, a murderous intent quietly rose in Xia Yun's cold eyes.

There were no more Japanese pirates seen within a radius of fifty kilometers, which meant that the thirty thousand Japanese pirates outside Shanyin County were all the siege troops!

"Pass on my order. Gather all the troops and fire flares at midnight to launch a general attack on the Japanese pirates."

Xia Yun immediately gave the order to prepare for an attack.

"The general will get the order!"

When hearing the order to launch a general attack, Qin Tianye's face finally revealed an excited look.

The army had been hiding in the mountains for several hours, and every soldier under his command could no longer suppress the urge to kill the enemy!

In just half an hour, Qin Tianye quickly arranged the pre-war arrangements.

Of the 7,000 city defense troops, 1,000 were first deployed to set up blocking positions on the route that the Japanese pirates had to take to retreat. Two hundred of them were equipped with automatic rifles.

Another 6,000 men have already assembled at the foot of the mountain and are on standby, with 1,000 men on each wing, to encircle the Japanese pirate army.

......

"General, the Japanese pirates have launched a new round of attacks. One third of our troops on the city wall have been killed or wounded. I'm afraid we can't hold out for much longer."

In Shanyin County, in a military tent only a hundred meters away from the city wall, a lieutenant general was kneeling on one knee in front of Chong Heihu, reporting the latest battle situation.

"Inform everyone, after tonight, anyone who survives will be rewarded 100 taels of silver, and those who die will be given a pension of 200 taels. You must continue to hold on!"

Chong Heihu's face was full of gloom.

When he first entered Shanyin County, he had more than a thousand soldiers under his command, and most of them were equipped with automatic rifles.

However, the Japanese pirates launched two large-scale sieges, which greatly consumed the manpower of his troops.

Now, he only has less than 500 troops at his disposal.

"Boom!"

While Chong Heihu was giving orders, a burst of fierce artillery fire was heard again from the direction of the city wall.

"Those damn pirates! If they hadn't been equipped with cannons, our casualties wouldn't have been so great!"

When the lieutenant general heard the sound of artillery fire, an indignant look immediately appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, a panicked soldier who was reporting the news suddenly ran into the tent.

"General! It's bad! The Japanese pirates have blasted a big hole in the city wall, and they are organizing a charge!"

The soldier who brought the news reported breathlessly.

"Someone! Follow me!"

Upon hearing that a hole had been blown in the city wall, the gloom on Chong Heihu's face instantly became extremely intense.

Then he led a group of personal soldiers around the big tent and rushed to the city wall position.

Standing at the bottom of the city wall, Chong Heihu took a look and saw that, as expected, a two-meter-wide and four-meter-high gap had been blasted out in the city wall near the gate.

And through the gap, one can clearly see that a large number of Japanese pirates are charging.

"Stop them right here! Don't let any pirates in!"

At Chong Heihu's command, the soldiers following him set up defensive positions on the spot and began firing fiercely at the gaps.

Although the Japanese pirates were also equipped with firearms, they were far inferior to automatic rifles in terms of power and accuracy.

Therefore, when the personal soldiers opened fire, the Japanese pirates who were charging towards the gap were suppressed on the spot and could not even raise their heads!

Just when the Japanese pirates were blocked from attacking the gap, a loud and low horn sounded suddenly outside Shanyin County!

"Woo~!"

The sound of the horn came from afar and landed inside the city wall of Shanyin County. For a moment, more than 500 soldiers, including Chong Heihu, showed ecstasy on their faces!

"It's your lord! Your lord is here!"

"Haha, it's time to send these pirates to hell!"

For the group of soldiers coming out of Dai County, no one was more familiar with the source of the horn sound than them.

"Pass on the lord's military order, the whole army will attack!"

Outside Shanyin County, at the foot of the mountain, when the horn sounded, Qin Tianye was at the front of the troops. He drew the sword at his waist and immediately gave the order for the troops to attack!

"kill!"

"kill!"

For a moment, the sound of killing was deafening. Six thousand soldiers and horses rushed towards the Japanese pirates like a tide. They quickly followed the pre-war deployment.

The Japanese pirates who were attacking Shanyin County suddenly fell into panic when they saw the large number of soldiers and horses appearing behind them.

A part of the Japanese pirates quickly changed direction and launched an attack on the Hangzhou city defense forces.

The Japanese pirates first used firearms to attack, but every member of the Hangzhou city defense force was equipped with heavy armor, and the firearms used by the Japanese pirates were not powerful enough.

As a result, the Hangzhou city defense forces did not suffer much firearm damage during the charge.

In just a quarter of an hour, the two armies officially came into close combat!

The phalanx of 4,000 heavily-armored infantrymen was like a sharp blade. Wherever they went, the Japanese pirates fell down, and the entire battlefield situation was quickly disrupted.

For this reason, the Japanese pirates had to mobilize more troops to organize an interception.

It was at this time that the cavalry on the left and right wings arranged by Qin Tianye quickly launched a surprise attack and began to encircle the enemy from the left and right wings.

For a moment, the Japanese pirates panicked and began to act in a panic.

The Japanese pirates were not aware of the number of Hangzhou city defense forces, and only saw a large number of heavy infantry and cavalry appearing from the rear.

Even the Japanese pirate troops that organized an attack on the cracks in Shanyin County's city wall began to retreat due to the appearance of Hangzhou city defense forces.

"Brothers, the master has come to save us! Follow me and fight our way out!"

At this time, Chong Heihu seized the opportunity, led the way, and rushed directly out of the Shanyin County wall.

Upon seeing this, the other soldiers finally had a chance to release the frustration they had been holding back for the entire day, and they immediately followed Chong Heihu and launched a counterattack against the Japanese pirates!

At the same time, on the top of the mountain, Xia Yun was staring coldly at the battlefield below. Following him, in addition to Xu Wan'er, there was also a pair of personal guards.
