Chapter 571 [Under the City]
“%…… ¥*#" said a lot, and Liu Yan next to him hurriedly translated, "The lord of my country said, I don't know what the Marshal of the Heavenly Empire means." I, the Danluo general, have never had any contact with pirates, so why is the marshal so slanderous? If the marshal does not give an explanation to our country, the lord of our country will definitely go to the Celestial Empire and ask for an explanation. ”
"Yo, he's still a tough guy. Not bad, good momentum, it's a pity, people like you are the person you hate the most. As a person of my Ximing, as a descendant of my Yan and Huang, he actually colluded with the pirates of the Japanese Kingdom to disturb my sea areas, rob my ships, and kill my people. Lin Nanmeng stood up, his eyes murderous.
"If you want to explain, then Ben Shuai will give you an explanation." Lin Nan restrained his murderous aura and returned to calm nature again. But everyone knows that this is a precursor to a storm. "Where is Meng Fei!" Lin Nan shouted loudly.
"The last general!" Meng Fei stepped forward and replied respectfully with his fists clenched.
"How's the war going now?" Lin Nan asked sharply.
"Marshal Qiyu, now that our army has controlled the entire territory of Danluo, only a small number of people are still going to Europe to resist." Meng Fei quickly explained the situation and closed his mouth.
Nodding, Lin Nan smiled and said, "This is very good, but there are captives of the Japanese Kingdom?" Lin Nan's words seemed casual, but they shocked Liu Yan into a cold sweat, and he no longer had the composure he had just now. It seems that this thing also knows what kind of people those would-be robbers, and if they are caught, they will definitely recruit Dan Luo and other people involved in this matter.
"Marshal Qiyu, now this small number of people who go to Europe to resist are the people of the Japanese country. But here, the last general also caught a lot of people from the Japanese country, and asked the marshal to decide. After a while, Meng Fei saw a group of soldiers escorting seven or eight people with the appearance of the Japanese Kingdom walking in.
"Bring the two widows on the ship. Ben Shuai wants to confront them face to face, hum. Lord Danluo, don't say that Ben Shuai won't give you a chance, if you admit it now, Ben Shuai thinks that you are the lord of a country, and you should be Your Majesty. Spare you from dying. However, if you are still obsessed, then don't blame Ben Shuai for not giving you a chance. Lin Nan snorted coldly, and sat on the 'dragon chair' silently.
After Liu Yan below translated these words, he saw that the face of the Danluo Kingdom Lord instantly became ugly. The eyes flashed with a complicated look, and a pair of small eyes kept turning, as if they were thinking about gains and losses.
Liu Yan didn't have the hardness just now at this time, and the two of them stood quietly below with the Lord of Danluo, glancing at each other from time to time. They all saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Gritting his teeth, Liu Yan stood up first, raised his head and asked, "Lord Marshal, if the villain tells everything and everything, can the marshal spare the lives of the villain's family?" ”
The sharp eyes swept over Liu Yan, although it was only a flash, but Liu Yan also deeply felt that Lin Nan's eyes seemed to be able to see through himself. I couldn't help but sweat in a cold sweat. But now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, he can only fight. Lin Nan will follow the consistent style of the Ximing Empire and let his whole family go.
Just when Liu Yan's heart was flustered, Lin Nan opened his mouth and said, "If you can give this king a satisfactory answer, this king will consider letting you and your family go." You should understand what this king wants. Lin Nan's words were like a sledgehammer, hitting the heart of the message.
"Good. As long as the marshal spares me and my family, the villain will give everything to the marshal. Liu Yan was ruthless and made a decision in an instant.
Lin Nan smiled slightly and said, "Very good, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie." You can have such courage, which shows that you are a person who can bend and stretch. Come on, take him down, and bring everything that Ben Shuai wants. Lin Nan said, then waved his hand, and asked the soldiers next to him to go down with Liu Yan and get the things.
Come to think of it, although Liu Yan is a very popular minister in Danluo, but in this big place, even as the lord of a country, he has to rely on Baekje's breath to survive, not to mention that he is still under the lord of the country.
Lin Nan casually glanced at the Danluo Lord under the steps, as well as the family members of the Lord of the State, with a solemn expression. Guo Jing, who was standing next to him, obviously saw Lin Nan's hesitation, and after taking a few steps closer, Guo Jing said, "The prince is hesitant to deal with these people?" ”
Nodding, Lin Nan opened his mouth and asked: "Li Dajunshen, if you have any tricks, just say it quickly, don't sell it there, be careful that Ben Shuai asks you to brush the deck." Lin Nanhu was stunned, wanting to shake Wang Ba's anger, but before the shock came out, he let Li Dajunshen deflated with a look.
"Then it depends on what the prince wants them to do! If they were killed, they would be said to have died in the war, and the matter would be over. If we keep them, we can talk in the official face. When the time comes, this lord of the country, as well as the person who left just now and the evidence he brought back, we Ximing can also justifiably crusade against Baekje. When the time comes, wouldn't it be easy to annex Goguryeo and Silla by the way?! Now that I, Ximing, have pacified the Turks, leaving Goguryeo here, I can't say it, it's really a scourge. Li Dajun smiled gloomily next to Lin Nan, and then returned to his harmless appearance.
Lin Nan was happy when he heard this, and patted Li Dajunshen's shoulder very happily and said with a smile: "Okay, you Guo Jing Li Dajunshen, you can come up with such an idea, not bad, haha!" ”
Lin Nan laughed wildly, looked at the somewhat decadent Danluo Lord very proudly, his face was full of spring breeze smiles, walked down the steps, and said: "I didn't expect you to be so useful, that book will let you live for a few more days." Regardless of whether the Lord of Danluo could understand it or not, after Lin Nan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
When he arrived at the door, Lin Nan took a deep breath, waved his hand to beckon Meng Fei, and asked casually: "How is the war, haven't those people been taken down yet?" ”
"Marshal Qiyu, the war is over, and now the soldiers are searching the whole island to check if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." Meng Fei arched his hand and spoke.
"Very good, you are doing a good job, and your future is limitless!" Lin Nan glanced at Meng Fei next to him meaningfully, and smiled casually. After listening to Lin Nan's words, no matter how calm Meng Fei was. The complexion was also pleased.
"Thank you for the cultivation of the prince, these are all things within the general's share." Meng Fei smiled slightly, then turned around and stopped talking. This time it was a real battle, although most of it belonged to Lin Nan, but with Lin Nan's words, his future life would be better. As long as you do your best and don't have problems. Even if you can't climb to the position of Guo Jing, the general of the Hussar Commander of the Patriotic Prince, at least you can mix up with an official from the third rank or the fourth grade. The most important thing is that I have the opportunity to enter Beijing.
It didn't take long for Liu Yan to walk back accompanied by soldiers. It's just that Liu Yan's steps are a little vague now, and his face is extremely pale, no longer the calm appearance just now. Obviously, what he has in his hands will be related to his life and death. At this time. Liu Yan also had to raise his heart to his throat.
Handing over a stack of documents to the soldier, and after handing them to Lin Nan, Liu Yan stood in place with his head down, but his eyes glanced at Lin Nan from time to time, betraying his heart.
After taking the stack of documents, Guo Jing also walked to Lin Nan's side and set his eyes on the documents. Lin Nan flipped to the first page of the document, what was recorded on it. It was an agreement between Baekje and Wa to secretly unite the two countries. However, the two countries originally only had a verbal agreement. But in Liu Yan's hands, it became a written document.
continued to look at it, and the more Lin Nan looked at it, the more ugly his face became. I clearly remember the goods, money, and the number of women's ships that these pirates robbed after each trip to sea. A striking number in the strokes. Let Lin Nan clench his teeth. If it weren't for the sake of exterminating Baekje in the future, Lin Nam really wanted to slaughter the entire Danluo Kingdom in a fit of rage.
Guo Jing next to him was also very ugly at this time, his hand holding his beard trembled slightly, and several green whiskers had already fallen down, showing the excitement of this Ximing military god.
Read all the documents. Lin Nan's eyes were murderous. The cold eyes swept over Liu Yan, even if Liu Yan didn't see how hideous Lin Nan's face was, but at this time, he was swept by Lin Nan's eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble, cold sweat slid down his back, and he didn't even dare to breathe out, his face was extremely pale.
"......Huh" exhaled a breath of turbidity, and after Lin Nan calmed down his mood, he said: "If it weren't for the fact that you were still a little useful, Ben Shuai would have cut off your head now." After speaking, Lin Nan turned around and walked into the room. Take him down, and take care of him, and if he is allowed to escape, the king will want you to take his place. A deep voice came from inside the hall, causing everyone to shudder.
"No!" More than 100 soldiers rushed in and quickly took the Danluo lord and his party down, while Liu Yan was locked up in one place alone. Because no one can guarantee that if Liu Yan is locked up with the lord of Danluo, there will be no problems.
Taking a deep look at Lin Nan, Guo Jing also left the hall with everyone at this time, leaving Lin Nan there alone. In the empty hall, Lin Nan was the only one left. Rubbing his forehead, Lin Nan clutched the stack of documents, his heart dripping blood. These damn wretches are all goddamn beasts.
Thinking of this, Lin Nan's eyes flashed, and he was even more determined in his thoughts. The blood debt will be paid with blood.
A sound of gentle footsteps came, and Lin Nan looked up, and it turned out to be Youyue and Wushuang walking in. Although they were still wearing thick armor, they did not cover the beauty of the two.
"Lin Nan, what are you worried about?" Glancing at Lin Nan distressedly, Youyue walked behind Lin Nan, and her slender fingers kneaded Lin Nan's forehead, hoping to alleviate Lin Nan's unhappiness.
Shaking the documents in his hand, Lin Nan smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, it's not for those widows. It's really hard to tell how this group of damned beasts can do so many evil things. ”
Wushuang took the documents in Lin Nan's hand and began to look through them page by page, and the more he looked at it, the paler Wushuang's little face became. The body trembled slightly, and a small face showed an incredible appearance.
Tears dripped silently, sliding down her cheeks onto the cold armor. Wushuang returned the documents in his hand to Lin Nan, raised his beautiful and demonic little face and said viciously: "Sanshao, you must kill all these beasts, otherwise you will be sorry for these deceased people." ”
Wushuang, who usually treats everything like a spectator, can be so angry, which shows that what those widows do has really reached the realm of common anger between people and gods.
Lin Nan nodded lightly and silently agreed. Reach out and take Wushuang into his arms. Lin Nan wiped away the tears on his little face, and then said: "Don't worry, the so-called blood debt and blood repayment, Ben Shao will let them know the way and know the way, what is called to come out and mix, sooner or later they will have to pay it back." ”
Even if you don't look at those things. Youyue also clearly knew what those would-be robbers had done. Gently rubbing Lin Nan's forehead, Youyue opened her mouth to persuade: "Okay, Sanshao." Don't worry about these things, we won't be there soon, and when the time comes, 100,000 troops will be overwhelmed, and you can do whatever you want. ”
"Let's go get some rest, I've been floating on the sea lately, and I've struggled to even take a shower. It's time to take a good rest today. Take a hot bath. Smell it, my body smells. Youyue said, then put her little hand under Lin Nan's nose and said with a look of resentment.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Nan stretched out his tongue and licked the back of Youyue's hand, and said with an evil smile: "Ben Shao only smelled the fragrance, and he really didn't smell anything else." I just don't know if your chick is also so fragrant. Lin Nanzhi said. Yuyue is trying to divert his attention. If his own woman can do this, Lin Nan will also let go of his thoughts. Laughed at the moon.
Snuggling behind Lin Nan's back, Youyue stretched out her little tongue and licked it lightly on Lin Nan's earlobe, exhaled a breath of heat, and said charmingly: "If you want to know if the Dao is fragrant, then you Lin Nan will verify it yourself." After Yuyue finished speaking, she stood up and walked out. When I walked to the entrance of the main hall. Youyue turned around and hooked her fingers, and smashed a lot of sleepy autumn spinach hard, and Lin Nan was dizzy, and she was stupid and followed with Wushuang in her arms.
"Don't run, little girl, look at how I clean up your goblin today." Lin Nan howled in the back. But his feet kept catching up with the back of Youyue.
"Giggles, then it's up to you, Merry Lin Nan." Youyue grinned, and sped away. Youyue and the two didn't follow Lin Nan directly just now, they just went to find a place to sleep.
"Lord, if you don't want to be the Kyushu Island of the Wa Kingdom, you won't want to." Standing beside Lin Nan, Zhang Daliang pointed to the gradually emerging land on the opposite side and spoke.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Nan said: "In this way, the officers and men of the whole army will be under your command, this commander has no combat experience, so everything depends on you to support, and the two of you have worked hard." Lin Nan arched his hand and handed over the power in his hand without the slightest greed.
Guo Jing also waved his hand and said with a smile: "A certain is also like the prince, if it is a land march, I am a step above you, but this sea landing still depends on you, General Li." As he spoke, Guo Jing smiled a little.
"Okay, since the marshal and the deputy marshal trust me, then I can't let them down." Li Daliang smiled, and then said: "Tell the soldiers, except for the necessary soldiers to defend the ship, all the soldiers should prepare to land immediately. All boats were launched to land on the island of Honshu as quickly as possible. After the landing soldiers went to the island, they hid themselves and killed all the Japanese people they saw. Li Daliang arranged it with a wave of his hand.
Then, Li Daliang spoke: "Marshal, deputy marshal, let's also get off the ship and land." ”
"Very good, after so many days of floating on the sea, I am really not used to it, and I feel that I am still down-to-earth and comfortable." Guo Jing stomped his feet, shook his head and said.
Not to mention Guo Jing, even a 'master' like Lin Nan, who has supreme mystical skills, has also begun to feel struggling after so many days of continuous travel. If it weren't for the hatred in his heart, Lin Nan would have wanted to go back to his home to live his leisurely life.
Hurriedly nodded, and then took Youyue and Wushuang to follow Li Daliang and Guo Jing to the side of the boat, and swam in the direction of land in a small boat.
At this moment, it is a cold winter wax moon, heavy snow is falling, and the land of the Japanese country is a silver and white color. Stepping on the beach, although the air was cold, Lin Nan's heart was a lot more steady. After all, a person is accustomed to life on land, and he has been on the ship for nearly a month, and Lin Nan is still very uncomfortable.
As far as the eye could see, the silver and white colors were connected to the sky, and Lin Nan exhausted his eyesight, and could only see a few dilapidated houses scattered around. Presumably, the owners of these houses also live by the sea. However, Lin Nan will not be merciful because of this, thinking about the brutal massacre at that time, as well as the tragic scene and those accumulated evidence that Lin Nan saw this time, Lin Nan couldn't help but burst into murder.
There were 100,000 soldiers in the ocean-going fleet this time, and in addition to those who had to stay behind to guard the warships, the number of soldiers who landed on the ground was already as high as more than 90,000. Wait until the Kyushu Island strategy is over. Lin Nan and the others had to divide their troops into two routes, one from Kyushu Island directly to Honshu Island, and the other way to get on the ship and sail to Shikoku Island to carry out clearing tactics. In Lin Nan's words, we are here to engage in the three-light policy this time, and our purpose is to kill, rob, and burn all. Don't worry about benevolence, righteousness and morality.
"Kill!" With Lin Nan's roar, 90,000 landing soldiers rushed out like a wind. In the land of the Wa Kingdom, you can toss as you want. This is what Lin Nan told the soldiers before landing.
Like locusts crossing the border, all the Ximing soldiers rushed out wildly, leaving no living mouth in their passing.
"Poof!" Liu San took out a blood-stained long knife, and the warm blood was still curling hot in this cold winter. Liu San couldn't remember how many people he had killed, his eyes were red and he looked ahead, Liu San's original enthusiasm had become insensitive. Looking at the slowly falling body, Liu San didn't even look at it. He raised his leg and rushed forward.
The shouts of killing and cries for help were mixed, and in this originally cold winter day, it was very lively. It's a very small village, and it's tucked away in the mountains. If it weren't for the careful reconnaissance of those special forces, I'm afraid no one would be able to show up here.
Liu San is the captain of the team, and he brought his teammates to clean up this village. Looking at it, the village that was originally good was now dilapidated, and the warm blood water gradually cooled down. Gradually turning into ice.
Suddenly, a soft sound came into Liu San's ears. frowned. Liu San thought about the place where the sound came from and walked over. There was no living creature in the eye, but Liu San wouldn't just believe that the sound was haunted.
Holding the long knife in his hand, Liu San swung it left and right, knocking over all the things in the room to the ground. "Hmm......" Another sound came into Liu San's ears, after slaughtering so many villages. Liu San could clearly tell that the sound came from a person's mouth.
His eyes swept over all corners of the room, and Liu Sanmeng appeared, there was a wooden cabinet there. The cabinet door was closed, but Liu San was sure. The sound must have come from here.
Walking into the cabinet, Liu San slowly handed over the long knife in his hand, and with a sharp wave, the cabinet door was suddenly cut in half by Liu San. There were two more doors, and the cabinet door fell down, revealing the two people inside.
A pale woman with her head in a bun was hiding with a little girl in her arms. When the woman saw Liu San's hideous face and the long knife in her hand, her originally frightened eyes immediately turned into a look of despair.
The little girl seemed to understand what she was about to face, and her frightened eyes suddenly dimmed. When she saw the blood still on the tip of the knife, the little girl was shocked and fainted.
Looking at the two women hiding in the cabinet numbly, Liu San just glanced at it casually. After so many days of killing and ravage, Liu San was tired of venting the depression in his heart in that way.
"Come out!" After Liu San finished speaking, he turned around and walked over. He wasn't afraid of these two women...... No, it should be said that a woman and a child do not follow themselves, this scene has been played out many times.
Sure enough, although the woman was desperate and helpless, she still honestly hugged the little girl and followed behind Liu San. The woman followed Liu San, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. But then he was thrown away by her, not to mention whether he could kill him, even if he could really kill the person in front of him, then he would be killed by more people.
Following Liu San's footsteps to the center of the square, the woman saw a woman from the same village who had the same fate as herself. The village was small, with only a hundred people, including about two dozen young women, and the rest were men, children, and old people. Now there are only sixteen or seventeen women left, and I think the others may have been killed. The woman thought silently in her heart.
"Head, what to do? There are less than twenty women here, is it still the same as before? A young man walked up to Liu San's side, wiped his war knife expressionlessly, and after throwing away the cloth strip casually, he returned the knife into the sheath.
Liu San shook his head, and then said, "No, you don't have to do it this time." The marshal's new order that women can stay alive, but they must follow our army. ”
"But head, if we take such a large number of women with us, the march will definitely slow down, and if so, I really don't know when Lu Dao will be able to go home." There was no complaining in the young man's tone.
"Shut up. You can't talk about military orders, and if the marshal hears them, be careful that your head moves. Liu San scolded, and the young man hurriedly closed his mouth and pretended to be afraid.
"Hey, I'm afraid the marshal also thinks that we have killed too many people. It hurts Tianhe, that's why he gives such an order. Liu San raised his eyes and looked around, then continued: "Where did the dog run again?" ”
"Maybe you've seen something of value again, this guy does it every time." The young man spread his hands helplessly, indicating that he did not know where he was going.
Liu San spat fiercely, put the long knife into the scabbard and said: "This wealth fan, sooner or later he will die in the eyes of money, hurry up and call him back, so we can keep up with the footsteps of the army." Otherwise. Just threw himself here. ”
"Okay, let's go find him." The young man grinned, turned and ran away.
It's good to be young, Liu San thought in his heart. Thinking of this, Liu San couldn't help but think of the white-haired mother at home, the gentle and virtuous wife, and the well-behaved baby who surrounded his father and father every time he returned home. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I don't know what happened to them at home. Are you still waiting for yourself to go home for the New Year as you do every year? With a wry smile, Liu San shook his head. The war here is not over yet, what do you want to do with all this mess.
When he came back to his senses, Liu San turned his head and shouted to a soldier next to him: "Hurry up and tell the brothers to pack up, let's hurry up and catch up with the footsteps of the army, otherwise, we will all go hungry." ”
"No!" One by one, the soldiers guarding the women packed up their long knives. Gather the dozen or so women together, ready to pull out.
"Lord Wang, will there be hidden dangers in leaving these women now?" Guo Jing sat next to Lin Nan, stretched out his hands on the top of the stove and rubbed his palms that were a little numb. "Damn it. This hellish place is really cold, and it's a fight with the desert. Guo Jing made a foul mouth.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's just some women, and they can't make any waves. When the time comes, bring these women back to the Central Plains, and it will only take a few years for them to forget about the present. Moreover, we are also selective. When the time comes, brainwash them, and everything can be solved. Lin Nan stood up and walked around twice, moving his muscles and bones.
Nodding lightly, Guo Jing spoke: "Now that the lord of the Japanese kingdom has begun to shrink the defensive line, in my opinion, I am afraid that the lord of the Japanese kingdom wants to fight to the death with our army in their capital, otherwise, it is impossible to have no resistance along the way." ”
"Hiss~~~" Lin Nan and other high-ranking officials of the ocean-going fleet stood on a hillside with binoculars in hand, and when they saw the towering city wall, they all gasped. Even Guo Jing, who has always been unfazed, couldn't help but put down his binoculars and turned his head to look at Lin Nan at this moment, and both of them saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Now it's late December, and it's time for the New Year. After more than a month of continuous fighting, Lin Nan and others advanced the front to Tokyo, that is, the capital of the Wa Kingdom.
Along the way, whether it is a big city or a small village, even the checkpoint fortress does not have a decent wall. For example, the big city walls here in the Wa Kingdom are like a small town in Ximing. Even those strategic fortresses are earthen walls, not even decent stones.
However, today, Lin Nan and others saw a different scene. Last night, they camped thirty miles from the capital of the Japanese Kingdom. This morning, the crowd came to observe the situation.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the capital of the Wa Kingdom turned out to be like this. Although the city is not too big, the height of its walls is as magnificent as that of Chang'an City. Visually, the height of the city wall is definitely above ten meters, looking at the flags fluttering on it and the heads of people who are constantly patrolling and towering, Lin Nan estimated that the thickness of the city wall has definitely reached more than five meters. Moreover, looking at its city walls, they are all made of a large number of stone blocks, what kind of concept is this, it is simply an iron barrel-like building.
Such a wall could not be built in a short period of time, even with the strength of the whole country. Looking at the fresh color of its walls, it is obvious that it has just been successfully built, and there are not many signs of wind and rain.
Lin Nan and the others went down the hill and returned to the tent. Sitting in the big tent, everyone couldn't help frowning. No one thought that the capital of the Wa Kingdom would be like this. This is really amazing.
Li Jiubiao couldn't hold his breath first, stood up and shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of, my Ximing soldiers are extremely brave, is it possible that I am afraid of his little thief." Give me Lao Li a team of men and horses, and watch me Lao Li rush in and kill the emperor of the dog day. ”
Li Jiubiao's words just came out. Guo Jing slapped him on the head, and said angrily: "You know that you can't use your brain." Even if we can defeat them, how many soldiers will we have to lose. ”
"Then what do you say, we can't just do it here. Not to mention the impact on morale, even the grain and grass may not be able to keep up. Li Jiubiao sat down angrily, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
"Don't we still have artillery, just blast the city wall open." Li Daliang smiled slightly, and then spoke. "Yes, yes. Don't we still have artillery useless, just bomb them to death. Li Jiubiao smiled and jumped up, looking excited.
Lin Nan waved his hand, and then explained: "Although we have artillery, but the other party's city wall is strong, although the lethality of artillery is extremely high, but for such a thick city wall. The damage that can be done is not very large. Moreover, there are too many restrictions on artillery. If you want to fight continuously with artillery, it is simply impossible. Ten shots in a row, and our artillery should be scrapped. ”
After a pause, Lin Nan continued: "If you want to use artillery to blast the city wall, I estimate that it will take at least ten days. So long. The morale of our army will inevitably be low, and the food and grass may not be enough. At that time, even if our army is thick in armor, it will definitely greatly increase the casualties. What's more, there are only 70,000 people left in our army now, and there are still 30,000 people continuing to advance. It's a very unfavorable situation. ”
Here, there was silence in the big tent. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but there is no good idea.
At this moment, Lin Nan also had a headache, this time he fought in the ocean, and when he was in the homeland of the Japanese country, he did not encounter any decent resistance. Although there were several times of resistance when they first landed, within a few days, the Japanese islands seemed to have given up resistance overnight, and all the troops retreated back to the Japanese capital.
It's just that the hesitation to adapt to the soil and water, coupled with the cold winter battle, has made the non-combat attrition very serious. Today, in addition to the 10,000 people who stayed on the ships, there are 10,000 people scattered in various occupied areas. This time I didn't come to the Wa Kingdom just to slaughter, but to turn the Wa Kingdom into the territory of Ximing, so I can't fight it down, and no one stays behind.
Combined with combat attrition and non-combat attrition, there are only more than 70,000 people left in the Ximing army at this moment. However, now in the face of this towering city wall, Lin Nan does not think that he can take it without casualties. According to the estimates of Guo Jing and others, if they attack by force, I am afraid that the number of casualties will reach more than 30,000, or even more.
Lin Nan didn't want to take such a big risk, if he could take it down without killing a single person, it would make Lin Nan even happier. But looking at the current situation, I am afraid that it is impossible.
"First of all, we can't just wait, if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be able to make sense, and this commander still doesn't believe that my 40,000 army with so many advanced equipment can't take a small capital of the Japanese Kingdom." Lin Nan, as the commander of the ocean-going army this time, made a decision when the generals had nothing to do.
"We have 40,000 men, and 10,000 have a wall. There were two guns on each of the east and west guns, and three guns on the north and south sides. Now that we're here, we can't end up without a problem. Let's get him off to a good start and test how much damage it can do to this wall with artillery. Guo Jing sat next to Lin Nan and arranged it.
Everyone didn't have any good ideas, and when they saw Guo Jing's steady and steady way, they all agreed. The plan has been decided, and all that remains is to implement it.
With the loss of time, at noon, 40,000 troops set up camp and began to bury pots and cook. The Japanese soldiers who were already extremely nervous on the city wall were even more nervous when they saw the Ximing army attacking. Although there are tall city walls for defense, after all, the prestige of the Western Ming army is far and wide, even if they are not in Middle-earth, they have also heard of how powerful the Western Ming army is.
Although some people have sharp swords and thick armor, after all, this is only a part. Compared with the elite Ximing soldiers, they are still like children with machine guns, they have powerful weapons, but they can't use them.
After lunch, Lin Nan and the others rested for a while, and then walked out of the Dazhai camp together. Riding a horse outside the archer's attack range, Lin Nan and the others carefully observed.
Just as Lin Nan and the others were discussing how to destroy the city wall, there was a sudden commotion on the city wall in the distance. Immediately, I saw the soldiers of the castle tower parting from each side and respectfully walking to the side.
Lin Nan and the others raised their eyes and saw a person wearing gold chain armor, a lion-faced helmet on his head, and an ancient long sword at his waist walking up. His face was cold, and his body naturally exuded a breathtaking domineering aura. It's just that this domineering aura is mixed with a strong bloody atmosphere, which makes people shudder.
With a sharp shrunk of his gaze, Lin Nan immediately recognized this person as Li Pingfeng, who had disappeared at the beginning. With a slight smile, Lin Nan spoke: "I never thought that your Hall Master Li would actually arrive in the Wa Kingdom. I don't know where the lord of the palace Li took up his post in the Wa Kingdom? Lin Nan waved his hand and signaled the hot-tempered Li Jiubiao not to speak.
"Although I had long expected that Lin Nan would chase after me, I didn't expect that it would come so quickly." Li Pingfeng also showed a confident smile, casually pointed to the city wall under his feet, and asked: "Lin Nan thinks, how is my city wall, can it withstand the impact of Lin Nan's army?" ”
"Haha With such a dilapidated city wall, Ben Shao can wipe him out with a wave of his hand, and Hall Master Li will not think that such a small city wall can help my Ximing elite. Lin Nan smiled disdainfully, although there was no way to take his thick city wall, but Lin Nan would not be stupid enough to say the words of the influence period.
There is a saying that despises the enemy strategically and values the enemy tactically. Although Lin Nan's mouth was full of contempt, he had to admit in his heart that he really had no way to help him now.
"Anyone will say big words, if Sanshao really has that ability, he might as well draw the line, and this seat will follow." Li Pingfeng was not angry at all because of Lin Nan's atmosphere, but talked to Lin Nan with a smile. If it weren't for the tense battlefield, others would really think that these two had been friends for many years.
Lin Nan smiled faintly, and then said: "In this way, Hall Master Li is waiting for the arrival of this king, I can guarantee that this king's attack will definitely surprise you." With that, Lin Nan stopped talking nonsense, turned around and walked towards Dazhai. It's just that Lin Nan's face at this time was gloomy and terrifying.
As soon as the high-level officials returned to the tent, they saw Lin Nan sitting there with a gloomy face, all of them looking unclear. Li Jiubiao, a rectum, couldn't bear the cold atmosphere, and asked first: "Lord Wang, what makes you have a gloomy face?" ”
Lin Nan exhaled a breath of turbidity, and after glancing at Li Jiubiao, he said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm not in a good mood." This king didn't expect that Li Pingfeng's miscellaneous would become the lord of the Wa Kingdom in a blink of an eye. It seems that the collusion with Baekje is also from his handiwork. Otherwise, according to the character of the Japanese state of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, he would definitely not disturb the border of Ximing for the sake of money. ”
Guo Jing nodded, and then said: "This is very true, if there is no person with a heart to help him to measure the land of Baekje, he will never do such a ridiculous thing." (To be continued......)
