Chapter 218: The first phase of the operation is completed
Leave 10,000 people in Beizhong City, and start building city defenses under the guidance of craftsmen with prisoners, which will be a possible counterattack to defend against the future, and also a bridgehead for the attack after the year, blocking this line, Wajima will not be able to know what is happening on the other half of the island, and the unknown is the biggest fear.
……
Outside Izumo Castle, the army had already surrounded the city, and this time Feng Daiwen planned to attack in a dignified manner, because dozens of catapults built in more than a month had arrived.
In pursuit of speed, the attack on Nakajo did not bring heavy siege weapons, catapults, building cars, and ramming vehicles, all of which went directly to Izumo.
Feng Daiwen has always believed that before you show your muscles, even if you are a fighting champion, you can't make ordinary people afraid, let them see the power that they can't resist, and the management will be much easier in the future.
Fifty catapults were lined up, and the polished stones were stacked aside.
"Attack!" This was also the first time Feng Daiwen had attacked with siege weapons, so he personally commanded and watched it very carefully.
With Feng Daiwen's order, first two catapults were thrown, the distance was calculated, and after a while, the flying stones began to fly towards the city wall.
"Bang! Bang! "Dozens of pounds of stone balls smashed on the city wall, making a huge muffled sound, and many huge concaves appeared on the city wall of the civil structure.
The guards above felt like an earthquake, and the walls kept shaking, and before they could react, a second batch of boulders fell, this time more accurately, not only on the outer walls of the city, but also on the top of the city, and the unfortunate were smashed into meat sauce on the spot.
Since the stones are polished, although they are not very round, they are at least spherical, and when they hit the city, they will generally form secondary damage, rolling, cracking and splashing, which makes the city guards chaotic.
In fact, many soldiers of the Wa Kingdom have not gone through a major war, let alone face the well-equipped Tang Dynasty, the huge catapult throws dozens of stones on their heads from afar, which seems to them how incredible it is, it can be said that they are cowardly before fighting, and there is still confidence to guard there.
Feng Daiwen held up the binoculars to see that the guards had all hid after a few rounds, frowned, and ordered to stop throwing stones, and the other troops began to press.
The arrow tower, three feet high, stood archers on top, and below were wheels made of wood, dozens of people slowly pushed under the cover of shields.
For Izumo's newly emerging castle walls, they were nothing short of a behemoth, and with their mediocre imagination, they couldn't have known why they had to make such a high siege weapon.
As soon as they found that there were no stones falling from the sky, the Japanese slaves climbed the city wall, and they were surprised to find that there were archers standing on several houses much higher than the city towers, so tragedy struck, and before they could carefully observe the situation outside the city, they were put down again.
As soon as the city car arrived at the city gate, suddenly the city gate opened from the inside, and a group of people inside immediately knelt down when they saw the Tang soldiers, shouting loudly in their mouths, and the other guards had already put down their weapons in their hands.
Everyone knew that this was Izumo's surrender, and the attacking Tang soldiers hurriedly passed the news backwards, and the others did not relax, and they also drew their bows and crossbows, watching every move of the Japanese slaves.
For the Japanese slaves, Feng Daiwen will not be merciful and surrender to be taken into custody, and sent to work as coolies in the future, and the nobles are not one of them, and they are all raided.
……
With Izumo, the two cities of Beizhong were taken, and Wajima was completely divided into two parts, and at the same time, the two cities of Beihou and Anyu were also taken by Li Ji.
Li Ji personally sat in Beizhong Castle and guided the construction of defenses, Feng Daiwen returned to preside over government affairs, and then began to emigrate, all the Japanese slaves were relocated to Shimane Castle, and 300,000 mining troops appeared.
300,000 people were young and strong, which was not a small pressure, and 20,000 Turkic warriors surrounded the mine under the leadership of Zhizhi Sili, and there was no food on the mountain, and they were not afraid of the Japanese slave rebellion.
Nearly 100 large fishing boats appeared at the wharf, and the women in the captives helped to handle the fish, but fortunately, there were indeed a lot of fish.
"Weiguo, this food is not enough! The rest will eat at most until the beginning of spring, and what should I do if I eat it from the beginning of spring to the summer harvest? Otherwise, a part of the Japanese slave ration will be reduced. As soon as the eldest grandson Shunde saw Feng Daiwen, he began to complain.
"It's okay, when you have to free up your hands to transport the silver back, there is still no problem in ordering food, it is not advisable to withhold rations, otherwise it is easy to cause accidents, after all, the mine work is very fortunate." Feng Daiwen thought about it and said.
"Six or seven hundred thousand people need to be managed, which is completely insufficient, the old man suggested that he write a letter to ask for support manpower, what does Wei Guo think." The eldest grandson Shunde was very busy during this time, and because he was old, he was very powerless.
Feng Daiwen looked at the eldest grandson Shunde, who was obviously haggard, and said apologetically: "Xun Guogong has come across the ocean, and he will immediately keep you busy with work, I'm really sorry, just take a good rest these days." It's good to arrange it at the next level. ”
"Alas, the years are not forgiving, then good, the old man will have a good rest." The eldest grandson Shunde thumped his back and said unceremoniously.
"There is a warm soup in Beihou City, let someone escort you over, have a good rest, and it won't take a few days to make you a lot easier." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.
"Haha, thank you! Thanks a lot! "The eldest grandson Shunde is very happy, you must know that it is more convenient to take a bath in the Tang Dynasty in winter for these two years, not to mention the warm soup, which is exclusively for the royal family, and the eldest grandson Shunde didn't expect that there is also one here, of course, you have to enjoy it.
"Hehe, there are many places in this warm soup on Wajima, so I'll let someone escort you there." For the hot springs, Feng Daiwen also wanted to go, but did not have time.
"It seems that we can consider forming a sightseeing group to travel in the future." Feng Daiwen looked at the eldest grandson Shunde who was leaving, and thought wildly.
After several days of busyness, the literate people in the army were all arrested to help, and it was basically dealt with clearly, 300,000 young people in the mine, and 10,000 women cooked and did chores.
20,000 women at the dock handle fish and meat, and 300,000 women in Shimane City cut wood, build houses, and reclaim land.
Li Ji's office still has tens of thousands of young men and 20,000 women, building city defenses, setting up camps, and building defense facilities built by the Tang Dynasty.
Although there are still several cities in the encirclement, there are really no more troops to attack, and there are hundreds of thousands of more prisoners, I am afraid that it is enough for everyone to guard the prisoners, and there is no need to do anything else.
He also made efforts on Liu Ren's rail, not only cutting off the sea route of the island country, but also sinking dozens of ships at a wharf, and finally patrolling the entire coast of the island country, not even a single fishing boat was left on the island.
Thank you for the monthly pass, thank you. Thank you all for your daily support.
