Qianye Kong has hidden herself among the fleeing crowd. She is an open-minded woman. Once something is done, there is nothing to think about.
All the patriotism and national justice were not important to her at all. She just wanted to survive and keep a life of luxury for the rest of her life.
…
About half an hour later, with Wei Yixiao leading his troops to join the battle, the Ming army finally captured the first line of defense of Tokyo City.
Zhao Min, who had been standing under the city, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although the progress is not very smooth, fortunately there is still some progress. Later, we will attack the Japanese second line of defense."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Wuji said, "I want to go up and take a look."
When Zhang Wuji said this, he did not forget to glance at Zhao Min, and Zhao Min smiled and said, "It's not a charge into battle, how can I not let you go? The first line of defense of Tokyo City has been taken down by us. Come on, I will accompany you to take a look."
A moment later, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min arrived at the city wall of Tokyo.
At first glance, Zhao Min couldn't help but laugh and said, "At the beginning, when Qianye Kong gave me the city defense map, I was a little skeptical about the city defense. I thought it was impossible to defend the city like this, but now it seems that it is really like this."
As he spoke, Yang Xiao came to Zhang Wuji, panting: "Your Majesty, why did you come up here? It's so dangerous."
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "Dangerous? You must be joking. My most capable generals are here. Wherever you are, it is the safest place."
What Zhang Wuji said was actually true, but Yang Xiao found these truths very useful.
Yang Xiao is now very grateful to Zhang Wuji for his recognition and support. He only regrets that he cannot have more daughters and then give them all to Zhang Wuji.
…
Yang Xiao was a little breathless and stood beside Zhang Wuji in a somewhat flattering manner. Zhang Wuji knew that he was tired, and for a moment he even felt a little distressed.
But now is not the time to feel sorry for anyone. Zhang Wuji looked towards the second line of defense of Tokyo City. It was a city wall that was about ten feet higher than the first line of defense.
Zhang Wuji only took a look and frowned and said, "This city wall is much higher than the one we just captured."
Zhao Min smiled helplessly: "In that case, we should thank Qianye Kong."
"If that woman hadn't told us the details of the city's defense, the siege ladders we prepared would have been shorter when we were trying to capture the second line of defense."
"If that situation really happens, the siege will definitely be interrupted. If that happens, I'm afraid we will lose hope."
Zhang Wuji said: "After all, we are not fighting on our homeland. Once the attack is frustrated and the backup supplies are insufficient, it will be a huge trouble. So we must hold on. As long as we can break the backbone of the Japanese and kill Hirohito, then even if I have to pay the price of fighting again, it doesn't matter."
Zhang Wuji hasn't been this ruthless for many years. Zhou Zhiruo on the side laughed and said, "Wuji, it's been so many years, haven't we experienced enough ups and downs?"
"In this battle, according to the Japanese city defense, if you ask me, we should try our best to use experts, just like we have done many times before. First, use the experts to capture a small area on the wall of the Japanese second city defense. As long as we can hold on, the soldiers behind us will be able to attack continuously. Our soldiers are powerful. I dare not say that one can beat three, but three can definitely beat ten."
"I haven't personally fought in the battlefield for a long time. I'm afraid the soldiers have forgotten that they have a queen in their family who can also wield a sword and kill people. I will personally take on the second line of defense of the city."
Zhou Zhiruo had just finished saying this when Yu Fei on the other side also said: "And me, Sister Zhou, I will go with you and let the generals rest for a while. We women are no worse than their men."
Obviously, Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei have been a little out of control. They love each other so much that they just think that Hirohito Hongichi should accept his death and should not trouble their own men.
However, just as Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei finished speaking, Zhang Wuji glared at them both fiercely.
He had indeed said before that no matter what the cost, he would break the backbone of the Japanese, but to be honest, he had never thought about whether that price included his woman.
…
At this time, the city of Tokyo was already engulfed in flames. The little Zhuge Abe Saburo whispered in Hirohito Hiroichi's ear: "Your Majesty, the fire in the city is quite big. It has spread outside the imperial city, and many people's homes have been set on fire."
Hirohito Hiroichi was also a brave man. Under the protection of countless ninjas and kendo masters, he stood on the second line of city defense fifty steps away from Zhang Wuji and his men.
After all, the height of the second line of city defense is higher than the first line of city defense, which has the advantages of vision and suppression.
When Hirohito heard what Abe Saburo said, he said angrily: "Damn it, it's already too late to care about what's happening in the city. The fire is so big that we can't put it out even if we want to. We just have to hold on and, if possible, take back the first line of city defense that we just lost."
After hearing this, Saburo Abe could only remain silent, because he knew that Hirohito Hiroichi was right. At this critical juncture, apart from holding off Zhang Wuji, everything else could only be left to fate.
However, just now, Saburo Abe did not finish his words, because the fire was too big, and the city was already in chaos, and it was obviously no longer in order.
If this continues, who knows how big the chaos will be.
…
After stabilizing the first line of city defense that had just been captured, Zhao Min commanded the army to continue attacking the second line of defense. As for Zhou Zhiruo, Yu Fei and others who were eager to try, she completely chose to ignore them.
It was not for any other reason, because Zhao Min had just calculated the casualties of her own soldiers. She felt that this casualty ratio was still acceptable. As long as these three city defenses were taken, after the army entered the city, the blockhouses and other things in the city would be no problem at all.
However, just as the Ming army soldiers were carrying ladders and attacking the second line of city defense, they saw the Japanese on the second line of defense pouring down countless kerosene.
These things were carefully prepared by Hirohito Hiroichi. The reason why they were not used in previous wars was that he wanted to use them at a critical moment.
Even now, Hirohito Hiroichi actually felt a little regretful, because even now, in Hirohito Hiroichi's eyes, it was not the most critical time. He was just a little scared now. A big fire had already started in the city, and the area around this second line of defense was still covered with kerosene. If he didn't use the kerosene on the Ming army quickly, then if they were ignited by the fire in the city, only the lives of his own soldiers would be burned.
