"Boom Boom Boom~"

The roar of artillery continued to sound, the black cannonballs hit the camp tent of the Japanese people, and every time it was hit with mud, although the lethality of the solid cannonballs was not too strong, and there were not many Japanese people who really died under the cannonballs, but the psychological deterrent power of the artillery was extremely powerful, and every round of artillery firing would reduce the fighting spirit of the Japanese people.

After Su Dingfang arrived at Yejin City with a large army, he immediately launched a general attack on the army of Su I into the deer under the city, after a few days of siege warfare, the 80,000 army in the hands of Su I into the hands of the deer was less than 60,000, which shows the tragedy of the previous siege battle. Moreover, at this time, the morale of the Japanese people was completely lost, and it was a good time to launch a general attack.

Su Dingfang brought an army composed of 40,000 grassland Hu people and more than 6,000 generals this time, the reason why they came so slowly was mainly because of the delay in transporting artillery, after all, the roads of the Japanese country were really inferior, and it took a lot of time to let the artillery pass through in many places, so it was only a few days late.

Although Su Izulu knew that the enemy in the rear would come sooner or later, he did not expect that as soon as the main force of the Tang army came up, he would use a strange weapon to launch heavy iron balls, destroying all the camps they had arranged before, and the morale of the soldiers fell to the bottom, and even the transmission of his orders became very slow, and sometimes he was resisted by some generals.

Faced with this situation, Su I into the deer sighed, knowing that this time it was a catastrophe, the wisest way was to immediately order the army to lay down their arms and surrender to the Tang army on the spot, but as the next governor of the Su I clan, he could not make a surrender move no matter what, otherwise the family behind him would be wiped out by the wealthy families in the country as soon as possible. There is no possibility of turning over.

The army in his hands has been out of control, and Su I am determined not to surrender again. In the end, he simply took a thousand Su I clan troops and launched a decisive attack on Su Dingfang's army. As a result, it attracted countless artillery bombardments, and finally Su I's war horse was hit by a cannonball, and as a result, even the people and horses were smashed into meat paste, and it was impossible to distinguish which was human flesh and which was horse meat.

As soon as Su I died, the tens of thousands of remnants of the army under his command no longer had the fighting spirit, and they were immediately led by the generals above to surrender separately, and Su Dingfang also knew that these prisoners of war could be sold for money, so they did not kill indiscriminately. Even if some injuries are relatively minor, there will be people to help them treat, but if those who are seriously injured and are destined to be disabled even if they are cured, naturally no one will care.

It took several days to take prisoners and clean up the battlefield, and the final count of prisoners of war was more than 45,000, and of course, there were many wounded people who needed medical treatment. You can't sell it until you're cured.

The battle of Nozu Castle wiped out the 150,000 elites of the Wa Kingdom, and there was no longer the strength to resist, and when Li Su, who was far away in Iwami, received the news. laughed happily three times, and then in front of many people, he hugged Wu Meiniang beside him three times in a row. It wasn't until the face of Yiren in his arms was flushed with shame that he put her down. It's just that night. Li Su and Wu Meiniang spent the night in the dark, venting the joy in their hearts.

And when the news of the battle of Nozu Castle reached the Emperor's Palace in the Asuka region. Emperor Shu Ming, who was already in poor health, fainted in fright, and finally died of illness in the palace a few days later, two years earlier than in history.

And around the position of the emperor, Soga Irilu and the ministers who opposed him started a battle, Soga Irilu supported the ascension of the empress of Emperor Shumei, and the ministers who opposed him supported the son of Prince Shotoku, the eldest brother of Yamabei, to succeed to the throne, on the grounds that this throne should have been the eldest brother of Yamabei, and now that Emperor Shumei is dead, it should naturally be inherited by the eldest brother of Yamabei.

Originally, the power of Su I Ezo leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the Su I clan not only had its own strength, but also had a large number of henchmen, and the ministers who opposed him in the past were united, and they were not his opponents at all, but this time because of the death of Su I into the deer, the prestige of the Su I clan fell sharply, and many people who originally supported Su I into the deer turned to support the big brother of the mountain back, and the result was that the two sides were in dispute.

However, the elder brother of Yamabei is a person who cares about the overall situation very much, and he understands that now that the Tang army has invaded the country, and can enter the Asuka region at any time, so their first priority now is to deal with the Tang army, not to compete for the position of emperor.

It was precisely because of this consideration that in the end, the eldest brother of Yamabashi took the initiative to compromise with Soga Ezo, proposing that he agreed to let the daughter of the treasure family succeed him as emperor, but Soga Ezo had to go out with all the strength of the Soga clan and drive the Tang army out of the territory of the Wa Kingdom.

The reason why Brother Yamabei made this request is mainly because during the Battle of Nozu Castle, the army led by Soga Irilu was all the tribes of various wealthy families in the country, and as for the descendants of the Soga clan, they brought very little, mainly out of the practice of preserving strength, so the main military strength of the Soga clan was still retained, which is why Brother Yamabei took the initiative to give up the position of emperor.

However, taking this opportunity, the eldest brother of the mountain back proposed to let the Su I clan dispatch the elite of the clan to drive the Tang army out, and the treacherous Su I Ezo immediately agreed, which made the treasure girl successfully ascend the throne, that is, the emperor of the history of the emperor.

As the most powerful wealthy clan in the country, the military strength of the Suga clan is naturally not to be underestimated, and the Suga Ezo quickly gathered 20,000 troops, and then ordered the major wealthy clans in the country to piece together the army again, and finally gathered another 60,000 troops. Then Su I Ezo personally led the troops, but this time he did not dare to take the initiative to fight the Tang army, but used a large army to closely guard around the Asuka area, and then sent an envoy to surrender to Li Su.

Iwami Castle not far from Iwami Silver Mountain, this was originally Ishimi Shou's lair, the name is Ishigami Castle, but after this small city was occupied by fifty grassland cavalry, Ishimi Shou also took the initiative to surrender, Li Yu saw that the location of this city was good, so he renamed it Iwami Castle, as a logistics base for Xue Rengui and Huli in front, and he was usually stationed here with guards.

In the city lord's mansion of Iwami Castle, Li Su sat in the hall that seemed a little cramped, and was looking at the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom in front of him lightly, only to see that the other party was about thirty years old, short in stature, a head and a half lower than Li Su, and his figure was very strong, and it seemed that he should also be a person who practiced martial arts.

"What's your name?" Li Su tasted the tea brought from Dengzhou, and asked a little absent-mindedly.

"His Royal Highness the Venerable King of Qi, the envoy of the small country is named Brother Su Ichi, this time he was appointed by the Emperor to discuss with His Royal Highness......"

"Bold!" Before Brother Su Chi's words could speak, Li Su suddenly slapped the table, stood up violently and glared angrily, "A small Japanese country, dare to call the emperor in vain, it's just too deceitful, come here, drag this out for me and behead it!" ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Brother Su and my red brother were also frightened into a cold sweat, he also understood that he had leaked his mouth, it was nothing to call the emperor in China, but the emperor was the specific title of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and now he was called the emperor in front of the Tang Dynasty, which was undoubtedly a great insult to the Tang royal family, and he was really dead.

However, just when the guards in the hall were about to drag Brother Su Wuchi down, Wang An, who was standing next to Li Su, suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, the two countries are at war and do not kill the envoys, although this envoy is rude, but after all, he is here to sue for peace, if he is killed, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future, so it is better to spare him this time and listen to what they plan to use to sue for peace!" ”

Hearing Wang An's intercession for himself, Brother Su and my red brother glanced at the other party very gratefully. But after hearing this, Li Su deliberately groaned for a while, and then said angrily: "Okay, for his sake as a messenger, I will spare him this time, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, come to someone, slap your mouth twenty!" ”

When Brother Su heard that it was just a palm, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed to Li Su again and again, but when he saw the person who came up to execute, he was stupid all of a sudden, and the guard he saw was eight feet tall, with long and thick arms, and he looked like a gorilla. It's a pity that Brother Su and I don't know that the big man in front of him is Li Su's personal guard Xi Junmai, and his arms can have the power of a thousand catties, if he lets go, he can be killed with a slap.

However, Xi Junmai knew that His Royal Highness didn't want this Japanese envoy to die, so he left some strength in his hands, but even so, after twenty slaps, Brother Su Ichi's cheeks were already swollen like a balloon filled with water, and it was estimated that water could bubble out with a needle.

However, even if it was swollen like this, Brother Su and Ichi, who had been beaten, still had to thank Li Su, and the humility on his face did not change in the slightest, which made Li Su a little interested in this Brother Su and I, and asked: "Brother Su and I Chi, what do you want to discuss with this king?" ”

"Enlightenment...... Your Highness! "Brother Su Ichi's face is as big as a fight, and his words are a little unfavorable, "My lord sent a villain, mainly to discuss the surrender with His Royal Highness, our country is willing to surrender to His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qi, and every year in the future, I only ask His Highness to show mercy and let the heavenly soldiers withdraw from our country!" ”

"Hahahaha~" Li Su heard the words of Brother Su and my chi, but a good person heard the funniest joke in the world, raised his head and laughed, and finally suddenly retracted, his face showed anger and said: "Are you the king of the Japanese being a fool, after fighting for so long, your main force has been destroyed, but now you just want to admit your mistake, and then let the king withdraw, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?" ”

After hearing this, Brother Su I Chi said in a hurry: "Your Highness's words are serious, but although our Wa Kingdom helped Baekje to fight against the heavenly soldiers last time, it was not a crime to destroy the country, and now His Royal Highness has raised a heavy army to conquer our country, and the vitality of our country has been greatly damaged, so it can be regarded as compensating for the sin we committed last time, if Your Highness insists on destroying our country, wouldn't it let others say that the Tang Dynasty bullied the small with the big and deliberately destroyed our country with small mistakes?" ”

Hearing Brother Su Ichi's sophistry, Li Su deliberately showed an angry look, and ordered the guards to bring a box of things and throw them heavily at Brother Su Ichi's feet, and then roared angrily: "Look at the good things you have done in the Japanese country, isn't this enough to destroy the country?"
