Chapter 1042: Vulnerable
The resistance of the Japanese people was stronger than expected, and it was clear that the elite gunpowder weapons of the Dragon Tooth Guard had been exploding non-stop, but they still had no intention of backing down.
Li Shimin carried the thunder cannon, and with the expectation again and again, he felt tired.
Taking a sip of tea depressedly, Li Shimin said: "Although the order I gave to Tang Jin was a feint, but with the lethality of gunpowder weapons, the Japanese people should have suffered heavy casualties." It seems that he can't go on with such a feint, Tang Jin's side has to increase the intensity of the attack. ”
Waving his hand to drive away the heralds, Leng Feng found a stool and sat down beside Li Shimin and said, "Tang Jin has been carefully taught by many veterans, if he doesn't have any insights, I think he can go home and farm." Look at it, it's about to be a full day, and Tang Jin should almost be ruthless. ”
As soon as Leng Feng's words fell, a dull roar could be heard even from such a distance, and even the ground under his feet felt a little shaking.
Looking at the column of smoke rising in the distance, Leng Feng couldn't help but be speechless.
In the end, there has been a new progress in the research of the Thunderbolt Division, and with the power of this launch, it is not something that the original ground-level thunderbolt can achieve.
Zhang Zhongqing also said that there is a limit to the lethality of black powder, and the upper limit of the power of thunder bullets can only be made up by quantity.
There was only one roar, but the effect was so significant, I think it was a new breakthrough in their research!
Such an attack can definitely shatter the enemy's courage, Li Shimin threw the teapot to the guards without thinking about it, and controlled the thunder cannon to aim at the road. Not surprisingly, around the time of the three incense sticks, the enemy's deserters were about to arrive.
Sure enough, before noon, a group of cavalry appeared at the end of the road ahead, and looking at their embarrassed appearance, you could know what kind of nightmare that terrible attack had brought them.
Seeing that the first cavalry passed through the small mound of range, Li Shimin did not wait for the enemy to come more, and directly pulled the trigger.
Laugh at!
Even with a retractor, Li Shimin's wheelchair was still pushed back one meter, and he was stopped by Leng Feng before he retreated more.
Rumble!
I don't know where the shell hit, but a loud bang followed by the firelight. The leading cavalry were suddenly scattered by the shock wave, and the horses only had time to let out a wail before falling to the ground.
The person who was stung by the gunpowder smoke at the time of the launch couldn't open his eyes, but Li Shimin watched the results of his shot with tears in his eyes.
With this power, the original eight-ox crossbow, trebuchet or other big equipment should simply be smashed and sent to the fire!
Nodding with satisfaction, Li Shimin patted Li Ke's shoulder, pointed to the road in front of him and said, "Stop their steps, I asked Tang Jin to divide half of the people to guard the enemy's city wall, plus Cheng Chusi and Zhang He's soldiers and horses, these people can only become turtles in the urn!" ”
Li Ke agreed, pulled out his saber and led the team to rush forward.
Among Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Ke, Li Ke is the best one, and Li Shimin hopes to see his past figure in this child.
Li Ke naturally won't let him down, although there is no war horse, but Li Ke who fights on foot is still extremely powerful. Without the use of gunpowder weapons, the 2,000 men of the vanguard force the advance cavalry of the Japanese people to retreat again and again, and brought more chaos to the chaotic army that fled in a big rout.
The battle lasted from early afternoon to early afternoon, when Li Ke came back covered in blood to report that more than 50,000 people who had fled from the Japanese Kingdom had been completely surrounded by 40,000 troops, and the remaining 10,000 troops in the city had also been completely cleaned up by Tang Jin.
Sitting in front of the military formation, Li Shimin looked at the chaotic Japanese army and people under the encirclement of the army, and then looked at his own fierce army, and was very satisfied.
This time, he deliberately did not choose the elite of Guanzhong, but chose the army of Lingnan Road and the northeast, in order to see how the standing army of the Tang Dynasty was. Now it seems that although these people are still very young, they have not lost the bravery of their fathers. Soldiers from all over Datang can be called soldiers.
Tang Jin and the others returned to the tent and reported the battle situation of the troops they led.
As long as it is a battle, it is inevitable that the battle will be damaged, and the Japanese people are still quite able to jump, with 40,000 troops, and the casualties have reached hundreds.
Cheng Yanjin took the binoculars and looked at the soldiers and civilians under the encirclement, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "The mix of the military and the people is more difficult to start, Your Majesty, no, Dashuai, do we want to do it?" ”
Li Shimin shook his head: "I plan to see the reaction of these trapped beasts, if they still have the courage to fight back, I can't give them a way to live." ”
However, Li Shimin miscalculated in the end, after the riots, the soldiers and civilians of the Japanese State actually threw away the weapons in their hands and chose to surrender.
Looking at the team of gorgeously dressed people who walked out of the crowd of the Japanese Kingdom, Li Shimin sighed: "Can't you have a little backbone?" Surrounded by 40,000 people, there were more than 50,000 troops, not to mention so many people. ”
If the same scene happened in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin promised that those soldiers would distribute their weapons to the people, and the whole people would fight to the death. In the face of quantity, even if the gunpowder weapon can be powerful, it must bear the backlash brought by the quantity.
Although the government military system of the Tang Dynasty has been abolished, the effect of employing soldiers in agriculture has not yet dissipated, or will not disperse again. The son of the old soldier, even if he is not shown signs to enter the standing army, will practice martial arts in case of emergency.
At this time, it was naturally the royal family of the Wa Kingdom that came out, and as the royal family, they had the obligation to come out and talk about the conditions for surrender.
After everyone was carefully examined, only Soga Jiro was put in front of Li Shimin.
I haven't seen him for many years, and Soga Jiro is also very old, and after being taken away from his crutches by the guards who checked him, he had a hard time walking.
However, this guy still has some backbone in the end, except for seeing Li Shimin lose his mind for a moment, he did not kneel and cry bitterly.
After bending down and saluting, Su Ijiro said in a somewhat rusty Tang dialect: "I never thought that the Tang Dynasty would attack the Japanese Kingdom, but it was you, the Emperor, who personally led the team. The sea is dangerous, the strong city walls, and tens of thousands of troops are so vulnerable in front of the power of the Tang State. Emperor Tang Tai, why did Your Excellency go to great lengths to attack our unprofitable Wa Kingdom? Aren't we low enough? ”
Li Shimin held his chin and smiled: "Do you still know that the Tang Dynasty took a lot of effort to attack the Japanese Kingdom? Do you still know that it is unprofitable for the Tang Dynasty to attack the Wa Kingdom? No, you probably saw this in mind and became unscrupulous. You leave a few eyeliners, this is the right thing to do, I don't blame, but why do you want to conspire to provoke civil strife in the Tang Dynasty? Do you really think that Datang will not go to great lengths to crusade against your unprofitable broken place? ”
