When Su Sijin and Lu Changgong were about to set off, they were stopped by the eunuchs in the palace.
The two were summoned into the palace again.
Besides, the supplies in Meijiang Village will not last for a few more days.
On the third day after Su Sijin left, the Japanese invaders attacked Meijiang Village at night.
They broke through the first border wall. If the fort had not served as the second line of defense and if there had not been people on duty at night, the Japanese might have breached the fort and killed them without anyone noticing.
When the alarm sounded, the men picked up their weapons and headed towards the fort. Defending Mingyue Fort and Wan'an Fort was the unshirkable responsibility of every villager.
The women hid the children in underground shelters.
There were also some strong and courageous women who picked up hoes, kitchen knives, sickles and other farm tools and fought the Japanese invaders to the death.
Fight alongside the men.
Even though he was shaking with fear when he raised the sickle, he still gritted his teeth and chopped off the Japanese slave's head.
Even though his face was covered in blood, even though he turned around and vomited bile, he wiped the blood off his face, endured the discomfort, and fought the Japanese invaders to the death.
None of the women in Mingyue Castle and Wan'an Castle are cowards.
The women of Mingyue Castle tried every possible means to kill and get rid of the enemies who were climbing towards the city wall, but they still did not have the spirit of facing death with indifference.
On the other hand, the hatred in the eyes of the men and women of Wan'an Fort was like an erupting volcano, with scorching flames.
Their hatred for the Japanese comes from the pain of losing their family members.
Their eyes were filled with hatred, and they wished they could kill the Japanese invaders if they invaded again.
They also knew that if they retreated one step, the Japanese slaves would advance a hundred steps, even burning, looting, and slaughtering everyone, until the whole village was decimated and there was no survivor left.
There are countless examples of the Japanese before them.
Therefore, they and the Japanese slaves were in a life-and-death battle.
Now that they have the fortress as a solid fortress, it will not be so easy for the Japanese to massacre them again.
Moreover, they had been prepared for this a long time ago.
Stones, kerosene, trees, bamboo shears, bows and arrows... and all other tools to deal with the enemy have been prepared first.
Therefore, when the Japanese invaded again and tried to climb the city wall and sneak into the fort, the prepared weapons such as stones and kerosene came in handy.
The sudden counterattack caught the Japanese invaders off guard.
That night, we easily repelled the Japanese invaders, and even until dawn, we did not see them climbing the wall.
I thought the Japanese would retreat after suffering a great loss, but I didn't know that their camp was twenty feet away from the fortress.
It seems like a long-term confrontation.
Then, what’s even more infuriating is that he would launch a sneak attack from time to time.
There was no pattern, no plan, and the attacks seemed to be launched randomly.
What’s even more hateful is that the sneak attacks at night are more violent and frequent than those during the day.
The Japanese are waging a psychological war.
The attempt is to make them tense, anxious and panicky, without any good news. Over time, it is enough to break a person's fighting spirit through psychological defense.
By the time they really attack, the villagers of Meijiang Village will no longer have the fighting capacity, so they can easily capture Mingyue Fort and Wan'an Fort.
The capture of Wan'an Fort and Mingyue Fort is just around the corner.
Their strategy was very successful. This policy had been implemented five times and the villagers' morale had been weakened.
Severe lack of sleep has already...really broken down my psychological defenses.
Fortunately, Yunyu came back on this day, and Feng Zixuan, the prefect of Ganzhou Prefecture, also came, so the psychological defense line was not conquered by the Japanese invaders.
As commanders, Yunyu and Feng Zixuan no longer passively fought, but took the initiative to attack.
The Japanese felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
Five days passed like this, and the Japanese could no longer bear the torture and proposed a ceasefire and peace talks.
Yunyu and Feng Zixuan both knew that the Japanese invaders' move was just a temporary measure in order to recuperate.
We should have pursued the victory, but... the villagers were not regular soldiers and were exhausted both physically and mentally.
If we don't rest and recuperate, the consequences will outweigh the benefits.
Taking this opportunity, Yunyu and Feng Zixuan arranged for people to replenish food.
The stones, kerosene and wood on the city wall need to be replenished.
Feng Zixuan made arrangements in an orderly manner and thought there was nothing to worry about, but... the damn Japanese invaders actually launched sneak attacks on multiple fronts.
The area surrounding Meijiang Village was completely controlled by the Japanese invaders, and their people could not leave the village.
Supplies cannot come in.
The Japanese invaders surrounded Meijiang Village. Without any supplies, they were forced to either starve to death or open the city and surrender, thus achieving their goal of occupying Mingyue Fort and Wan'an Fort.
It doesn't require any manpower, it only takes time.
The Japanese were also certain that no reinforcements would come to support them.
Although the Japanese are short in stature, they are quite smart and extremely cunning.
Their plan gradually took effect, and supplies became less and less, especially rations. After being besieged for half a month, the food supply had run out.
This is the result of eating one meal a day and living frugally.
The Japanese invaders were not attacking either. Every day, they set up several large pots at the city gate and cooked several large pots of meat.
The fragrance spread everywhere, causing great torment to the hungry villagers.
Some people could not bear the temptation and actually surrendered and joined the Japanese invaders.
Of course, Yunyu and Feng Zixuan would not let them reach the Japanese alive.
The real situation inside the fort cannot be known by the Japanese.
Three days passed in half a month, and they had not eaten for three days.
They were so hungry that they ate all the weeds and branches in the village, and the trees were now bare.
Even the leaves were not spared.
As long as they didn't eat the dead, they would all be picked up and eaten.
