The long night will pass, and when the eastern sky is white, a new day has finally arrived.

And with the advent of a new day, a new round of war is about to begin.

The tens of thousands of Tang troops who had completed the landing were divided into several batches, and they marched from the wharf in waves towards the capital of the Japanese Kingdom not far away.

At this time, the gate of the capital of the Japanese Kingdom had been tightly closed, and the Japanese troops above the city were like facing a great enemy, nervously watching the Tang army gathering more and more outside.

As the old saying goes: ten and surround it.

Tens of thousands of Tang troops were not enough to enclose the capital of the Wa Kingdom, or even if they were, the thin encirclement was not enough to pose a threat to the tall city walls, which was the conclusion reached by Emperor Shu Ming and his subordinates overnight.

But there are many things in this world that cannot be considered according to common sense, and this is especially true when hot weapons face cold weapons.

Therefore, after the army pressed the border, the Tang army did not really surround the capital of the Japanese state, but tightly blocked the city gates on all sides, followed by nightmarish shelling.

The sound of thunder sounded for a whole day, and there was no one who dared to stand on the head of the capital of the Japanese Kingdom to pay attention to the movements of the Tang army.

Of course, there will be some eyes in the shadows monitoring the movements of the Tang army, but this time they are hiding very deeply, and they don't dare to let the Tang army outside discover them.

And the people of the Japanese Kingdom outside the city were all frightened, and they shrank into their homes one by one, not even daring to go out, and looked at the Tang cavalry galloping outside with a chill.

However, Li You didn't pay attention to them for the time being, but just vigorously attacked the capital of the Wa Kingdom, and the new-style Zhenguan cannon bombarded for a whole day, and at night he began to attack with bed crossbows and catapults.

Bags of gunpowder were thrown into the city by catapults with a deafening explosion.

In the sky, the Flying Phoenix Army was soaring in the wind, constantly indicating the direction of the catapults outside the city, and where someone appeared, there would be countless gunpowder bags falling.

In the darkness, a raging flame burned in the capital of the Japanese Kingdom, and from time to time there would be a faint sound of terrible screams.

Wooden houses were prone to fire, and near the walls were poor people who were even more rudimentary, with thatched roofs, making them more likely to ignite with gunpowder packs.

So the fire burned all night, and at the beginning there were some people who came to save them, but after being blown up by gunpowder packets that fell from the sky, and after countless deaths, those who were ready to put out the fire began to flee for their lives, and as for those who remained in the fire, they could only ask for more blessings.

After a day and a night of attacking, the Japanese army suffered countless casualties, but the Tang army itself did not suffer any damage, only a few unlucky ones, due to poor vision at night, fell out of their teeth when carrying gunpowder.

Shu Ming's old guy already knew that he was afraid at this time, and the continuous attacks of the Tang army outside made him realize that this city that he relied on for his livelihood could not guarantee his safety.

The Flying Phoenix Army, which had been hovering in the air, was like maggots on tarsal bones, constantly flying around the palace all the time, paying attention to all movements on the ground.

Shu Ming had no doubt that as long as he dared to step out of this room, the guy in the sky would kill him at any cost.

Shu Ming regretted it, regretting that the decision made a few days ago was too hasty.

If I had known that the Tang Army would be so determined, if I had known that the Tang Army would have such strength, if I had known that the Tang Army's equipment had reached such a level, if I had known that Li You would not play cards according to the routine...... Emperor Shu Ming thought too much about it in one night.

But the world does not believe in ifs, and the bitter consequences caused by himself can only be borne by himself.

Although if he had done what Li You had asked him to do at the beginning, he would inevitably have taken this step in the end, but after all, that 'if' has not happened yet, it will always give people hope.

"Your Majesty, come to the rescue, ask for help from the Wubu clan and the Suga clan, if it goes on like this, it won't take three days, and the capital will be broken by the Tang army, and then we will ...... We're all going to be hanged by that King of Qi! The pleading voices of the courtiers who had been stranded in the palace for several days came out, interrupting Emperor Shuming's contemplation.

"Asking for help? How can we ask for help now, Datang has even sent heavenly soldiers, what else do we have to ask for help. Yamada, who was blamed by everyone a few days ago, roared angrily and vented his dissatisfaction.

"That's better than waiting for death, didn't you see how terrible those Tang people's attacks were yesterday? Do you want to wait until the day the city is broken and we will be hanged and beheaded? In the face of Yamada's anger, someone immediately retorted.

"That's no way, the situation is already obvious, the Tang army is sending reinforcements in the encirclement point, they just want us to find reinforcements, and then wipe out our hope outside in one fell swoop!" Yamada didn't have anything to do with those cowardly fellows, so he could only use hysterical rants to remind Shu Ming to think about his words.

"Forget it, the Tang army doesn't want to surround the point to send reinforcements at all, if they really think so, then they will leave an opening, so that we can send people out. But now you see, the city is besieged on all sides, the city is besieged on all sides, they just want to destroy us before reinforcements arrive! ”

"Yes, the Tang people don't have that many soldiers at all, they don't have the strength to eliminate reinforcements at all. As long as the reinforcements arrive and open an opening outside, then we can open the city gate widely, kill from the inside, and combine the inside and the outside, and completely drive the Tang army back to the sea. ”

Under the threat of death, a group of cowardly guys all turned into bright brains, and they showed their intelligence in front of Emperor Shu Ming, analyzing the contrast between the strength and weakness of their Tang army.

As for Yamada? His position was too low, so low that what he said was completely ignored by the crowd.

Although in some ways he was not wrong.

"But, as you just said, the city is besieged on all sides, how can we send people out to help? Those flying Tang troops in the sky can clearly see everything that is happening on the ground, how can they let us send people out to rescue? ”

Emperor Shu Ming also did not think that Yamada's words were right, although the last time he had followed his advice, he might not have been in the current situation.

But everyone has a desire to survive, and if it is really according to what Yamada said, then the people of this city can basically only wait for death to come.

The emperor is also a human being, and he is also afraid of death, and he is also enough to be the emperor.

It was precisely because he was afraid of death that he subconsciously chose to believe in those cowardly guys and was ready to send someone out for help. ()
