Chapter 2032 Despair

Brother Ma, they are already trapped beasts, why bother fighting them? Tear down the surrounding houses, build a high tower, occupy the high ground, and use longbows, crossbows and muskets to shoot and kill those who dare to resist one by one!"

"Haha, the person is dead, how can the county government not go down?!"

Seeing Ma Ye being humiliated, Xu Hai smiled slightly, patted Ma Ye's shoulder gently, and spoke slowly.

"That's right. Brother Xu's words really enlightened me. I was also irritated by this damn old magistrate. As the saying goes, we should use our strengths to attack their weaknesses. I have the advantage, so why should I fight with them who are about to die?"

Ma Ye's eyes lit up and he smiled immediately.

"Go, tear down the houses, quickly build a few enemy towers for me, and then mobilize all the longbowmen and musketeers. Once the enemy towers are built, shoot down those who are resisting in the county government from a high position!"

Ma Ye ordered his pirates to act according to his orders without hesitation.

Soon, the Japanese pirates under his command started to violently destroy the surrounding houses like a demolition team, dragging away the door panels, beams, etc., and forcing the captured carpenters to build a platform with Japanese swords. Anyone who dared to disobey would be chopped down with a single sword.

After one carpenter was chopped off, the other captured carpenters dared not shake their heads anymore. They were forced to build a platform with the door panels and wooden beams dragged by the Japanese pirates.

"It doesn't have to be great, just enough to get by. Hurry up, hurry up, if you can't coordinate within an incense stick of time, I will chop you all to pieces!"

Maye waved his hand to shake off the blood on the Japanese sword, and threatened the carpenter with death to speed up the construction of the enemy platform.

At first, Magistrate Jiang and others in the county government office were relieved to see that the Japanese pirates no longer attacked. However, their faces turned pale when they saw that the Japanese pirates demolished houses, dragged door panels and beams, and began to build enemy towers.

If the Japanese pirates build an enemy platform, they will have the advantage of terrain. At that time, the Japanese pirates' archers and musketeers will stand on the platform, looking down from above, and can easily shoot and kill them one by one.

Once the Japanese pirates have built their enemy tower, that will be their death.

At this time, their best option was to rush out and destroy the enemy platform that the Japanese pirates were building.

However, when they went out to fight in the field, they were no match for the Japanese pirates!

If they defend themselves on the wall, relying on the advantage of the yamen wall, they can still fight hard, but if they go out to fight in the field, they will only die.

However, waiting for the Japanese pirates to build the enemy tower is just waiting for death. Once the Japanese pirates build the enemy tower, their death will be here.

The Japanese pirates were in a dominant position on the enemy tower, so they had no advantage at all. They could either wait for the Japanese pirates to shoot them one by one with longbows, crossbows and muskets, or retreat into the house to avoid the Japanese pirates' bows and muskets.

But retreating into the house would mean giving up on defending the wall, which would mean letting the Japanese pirates into the government office.

Once the Japanese pirates come in, wouldn't it be like a field battle? They are no match for the Japanese pirates and will die!

It can be said that the enemy platform of the Japanese pirates hit their sore spot, and their fate of death was doomed to fail.

"So damn slow! Kill him! Kill the one with the slowest hands and feet!"

In fact, the carpenters were already building the enemy tower very quickly, but Ma Ye still deliberately scolded them for being slow, and ordered his pirates to drag out the carpenter who was relatively the slowest and behead him with a single blow.

The remaining carpenters were terrified. In order to avoid being beheaded by Ma Ye, the murderous demon, they used all their strength to speed up and speed up again. You are faster, I am faster. Don’t let my friends die, but I will!

"How to do how to do?"

The runners and defeated soldiers in the county government looked at the increasingly high enemy tower built by the Japanese pirates outside the wall with panic.

"Where are the shields? Everyone pick up their shields!" Magistrate Jiang gave the order with an anxious look on his face and dry lips.

"You three with shields, come quickly and protect me. The damn Japanese pirates' bows and muskets will definitely be the first to attack me!"

Then, Magistrate Jiang ordered the three yamen runners holding shields around him to quickly cover him with their shields to prevent the Japanese pirates from focusing their fire on him.

"Your Excellency, we don't have that many shields. We only have fifty shields in our treasury, not enough for each person!"

The county police chief said helplessly.

"Take down the door panels and use them as shields! If the Japanese pirates can take down the door panels, we can do it too!" said County Magistrate Jiang, pointing to the door in the yard.

As a result, the yamen runners and defeated soldiers who had no shields rushed to dismantle the doors and use them as shields.

Just as the yamen runners and the defeated soldiers had dismantled the door, the Japanese pirates outside the yamen had already built an enemy tower. The Japanese longbowmen and musketeers climbed up the enemy tower impatiently, pulled the longbows to the full moon, and lit the fuse of the muskets.

"put!"

At a command from the pirate leader, more than a dozen longbowmen took the lead and shot arrows into the county government yard like lightning.

“Duo! Duo! Duo!!”

Fortunately, Magistrate Jiang ordered people to remove the door panels to use as shields, so that everyone in the county government had a shield or a door panel.

More than a dozen feather arrows were nailed to the shields and door panels, making a sound of "click, click, click" and were blocked.

However, there were still three unlucky guys who were hit by the Japanese pirates' arrows because of the tricky angles of the arrows and their crooked shields. One was shot in the neck from the side and died on the spot, and two were shot in the thighs, causing them to scream in agony.

After the arrows were fired, more than a dozen Japanese pirates' musketeers also opened fire, accompanied by a burst of gunpowder smoke, "bang, bang, bang"

Shields and door panels blocked longbows and crossbows, but they couldn't stop muskets, especially at such a close distance! The power of a single-round musket was incomparable to that of cold weapons.

After a burst of musket fire, screams were heard in the courtyard of the county government office. Many more people fell to the ground after being hit by guns than in the previous round of arrows.

The shield was hit by the musket, and with a "bang" a big hole was made by the bullet. The yamen runner behind the shield screamed and fell to the ground with his eyes open.

Some officers and soldiers were carrying door panels, thinking that they were very safe because the panels were so thick. However, they did not expect that the Japanese pirates fired their muskets, which blew a hole in the door panel. The officers and soldiers behind the door panel were hit by the guns and fell to the ground and died.

In addition to the yamen runners and fleeing soldiers who were beaten to death on the spot, several other yamen runners and fleeing soldiers were shot and injured and fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

"A shield can block arrows, but it can't block muskets. What should we do, County Lord? What should we do?"

The officers in the courtyard of the county government were so frightened when they saw that the Japanese pirates' muskets could even pierce their shields.

Before Magistrate Jiang could answer, a desperate cry rang out in the courtyard, as if at the gate of hell, "Damn it, the four enemy platforms of the Japanese pirates have all been set up, what should we do, what should we do, Magistrate?!"

Magistrate Jiang looked outside and saw that there were indeed four enemy towers rising outside the courtyard wall. The Japanese pirates' longbowmen and musketeers were scrambling to climb up the towers.

despair!

Everyone in the county government looked at the five enemy towers outside the wall and felt extremely desperate.
