Chapter 414: Destroying the withered and decaying and conquering the city
After returning to his residence, Li Yuanba asked strangely: "If you really want those five cities, we can completely defeat them ourselves, even if we take down the entire Fusang, it is not a difficult task." ”
At present, no capable person has been found in Fusang, and these people brought by Wang Xiang can easily crush the entire Fusang, and Li Yuanba feels that there is no need to exchange those five cities by helping the Emperor to quell the rebellion.
Wang Xiang shook his head and said: "We only have such a small number of manpower, let alone the entire Fusang, even if the five cities I want can't manage it, I have to transfer some people from Datang to come back." ”
His idea is actually very simple, that is, to turn Fusang into a colony, of course, it is his personal colony, anyway, Li Er can't look down on this overseas projectile land.
As for whether Miyamoto Daichi and the others will regret or resist, Wang Xiang is not worried at all, as long as they have seen the strength of the powerful, smart people know what to do, not to mention that it is still the era of cold weapons, even in the last days, the capable people have an absolute ruling advantage, and the more than a dozen capable people in Wang Xiang's hands can easily destroy any regime in Fusang, because they are all ordinary people. If the people under the emperor dare to regret that he doesn't mind changing Fuso to an emperor, the two Kawamura sisters think it's pretty good, it depends on whether Miyamoto Daichi and Matsudaira Ichiro are smart people.
After a few days, there was no movement on the rebel side, and they did not send troops to attack Asuka City, presumably frightened by the previous battle.
Su I Ezo was indeed frightened, and immediately after fleeing back to the imperial city, he asked people to investigate Li Yuanba's information, and the result of the investigation was only that the other party was a reinforcement sent by the Tang Dynasty to help the emperor quell the rebellion.
"Damn, how could Datang send such a devil!"
When he thought of the battle that day, Su I Ezo felt chills all over his body, he had experienced a lot of battles, and he had seen many fierce generals, but he never thought that someone could fight tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with the strength of one person. Thinking of the Fusang soldiers who turned into a rain of blood under Li Yuanba's copper hammer, Su I Ezo became more and more irritable.
"What's going on, does anyone know what's going on!"
Soga Ezo roared loudly, but the Fuso ministers sitting below all looked at each other, they had not experienced that battle, and they didn't believe what Soga Ezo said at all, they thought that Soga Ezo had lost the battle so they were stimulated to have such absurd and uninhibited ideas. One person can fight against an army of 30,000 people, only Amaterasu can do it.
As soon as I saw their expressions, I knew that they didn't believe what they said, and my heart was even more depressed.
"Report!"
A Fuso soldier suddenly broke into the outside, and fell to his knees in panic.
Su I Ezo frowned and asked coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
The Fusang soldier replied: "Fengpu City has been captured!" ”
"What!" Su I Ezo was furious, Fengpu City was his original fiefdom, not far from the Imperial City, he was in Fengpu City to raise troops all the way to expand his power, and finally captured most of Fuso, including the Imperial City.
Fengpu City is a military location, the city walls are tall and strong, and there are many soldiers, and now that it has been captured in just a few days, how can he not be shocked and angry.
The minister below asked suspiciously: "The Emperor has only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and now he has retreated to the southwest Asuka City. Asuka City and Fengpu City are separated by several cities, and both are heavily guarded, how can they capture Fengpu City? ”
They knew the strength of the Emperor very well, and it was very difficult to hold Asuka City with the current strength of the Emperor, and it was impossible for them to take the initiative to send troops.
The Fusang soldier hurriedly replied, "It was not the people who attacked Fengpu Castle who held the emperor. ”
"Who is that?" The Minister of Fuso, who questioned him, was even more puzzled.
"Yes...... It's the Don Army. ”
Su Izo's face changed, and a trace of panic and panic flashed in his eyes.
The other Fusang ministers all exclaimed: "Tang Army! How many people did they come? ”
They have long heard of the prosperity and military prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and they have heard that the Tang army is nervous, and if the Tang Dynasty sends a large army to help the emperor, the result is really unpredictable.
After listening to the question of the Minister of Fuso, the soldier hesitated and said, "Here are the ten ...... A dozen people. ”
"Are you saying that a dozen Tang troops captured Fengpu City?" A minister stared at the Fuso soldier kneeling on the ground with an unkind face, and he felt that this soldier was insulting his intelligence. Fengpu City has 20,000 troops, and even if it is defended against 50,000 troops, it has a great chance of winning. What can a dozen Tang troops do?
The soldier replied tremblingly, "The news from Fengpu City is like this. ”
Could it be more than 100,000 Tang troops? The ministers in the palace thought about it and felt that it was impossible, it was impossible for Datang to send more than 100,000 troops to Fusang. Or did the soldiers of Bongpo Castle rebel and take refuge in Emperor Jitong?
"What else does the message say?" Only Su I Ezo didn't seem to suspect the news, and forced the fear in his heart to ask.
"The news also said that those Tang troops were...... It was the devil sent by Amaterasu to punish us, and he couldn't be killed, and he could blast open the city gate with a pair of copper hammers. ”
Su I's face became even more difficult to look at, and he was more sure of his guess, and asked anxiously, "Where are they going?" ”
"They took Fengpu City and came here."
Soga Ezo was shocked when he heard this. One of the ministers below said loudly: "What a boldness, there are 50,000 troops in the imperial city, and they have rushed here to die!" Lord Suga, please order troops to be sent to destroy these arrogant Tang troops, and let them know that they can't go wild in the land of Fusang! ”
Capturing Fengpu City and going straight to the Imperial City is simply a contempt for them. The ministers of Fuso in the palace spoke out one after another.
Su Izo's face turned pale, and he was silent for a moment before ordering: "Give up the imperial city and retreat to Qiandao City!" ”
The Fuso ministers in the palace were very puzzled by Su I Ezo's order, but Su I Ezo was resolute, and they could only hurriedly assemble the soldiers in the city and retreat towards the southeast of Qiandao City, which was the most well-fortified city in Fuso, and there were originally 30,000 defenders in it, plus the 50,000 soldiers brought by Su I Ezo from the imperial city had an army of 80,000, but the 80,000 army still did not bring a sense of security to Su I Ezo.
As for Wang Xiang's side, he didn't ask for any of the Fusang soldiers in Asuka City, and was led by Miyamoto Daichi and a few Fuso warriors, and then he took Li Yuanba and Tie Dan and others all the way to the imperial city, and all the cities he passed through were taken like a devastating victory.
Miyamoto Daichi was originally skeptical of the battle of Asuka Castle, but after seeing with his own eyes Li Yuanba and Tie Dan and others easily capture several cities with thousands of defenders, he finally understood that the battle told by Matsudaira Ichiro was not an exaggeration at all, even the military city of Fengpu Castle, which had 20,000 defenders, failed to hold out until half a day before it was completely defeated, and the tall and strong city gate was forced to collapse by Li Yuanba with a pair of copper hammers.
