Chapter 621: Anticipate the Enemy's Opportunity
"Our people have found out!" Li Yuanba glanced at Jin Shengtai and said, "There are only a thousand Japanese slaves stationed in this Jiyang City, and with the strength of our army, it is not a problem to break through Jiyang City!" What I'm worried about now is whether our army will be able to get everything in Jiyang City before the Japanese army! ”
"Does Your Highness mean that as long as you seize Jiyang City, you can wipe out the Japanese army?" Jin Shengtai heard the meaning of Li Yuanba's words, and he didn't seem to be worried about the defeat of the Shenwuwei army after intercepting the Japanese army.
"You're right!" Li Yuanba nodded and said, "What we have to do now is to let the army after this war have a good rest." After lunch, the army will start again, rushing to Jiyang City to fight back and forth with the army in the city to clean up the battle! ”
"Since His Highness is so confident, then the minister will not say more!"
Jin Shengtai knew that the prince of the Tang Dynasty had always been known for winning battles, so he stopped talking, but after bowing to Li Yuanba, he withdrew from the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Lord Wang, do you want to send a team now to escort the remaining six new Shenwu cannons and ammunition to Jiyang City?" Seeing Jin Shengtai out of the hall, Su Dingfang took a few steps forward and asked Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No need! Although there is no king to follow this time, with the ingenuity of Ke'er and the three little guys, it is not difficult to intercept the Japanese army. If they can't even do this, what qualifications do they have to be my Li Tang's noble prince? It's better to exile them to their respective fiefdoms and be rich and happy! ”
Su Dingfang heard Li Yuanba's words, was silent for a while, and said, "The last general understands!" ”
……
In just half an hour, the gate of Jiyang City has been restored. Even with them, the four new-style Shenwu cannons were also ordered by Li Ke to find a way to get them to the top of the city.
On the head of the city facing the direction of Dangyang City, the three brothers Li Ke and Huang Shulang, the general of Shenwu Weizhonglang, and the four guys all held up their monoculars and observed the situation in front of them.
At the moment, the situation ahead looks very calm. However, they had already learned from the mouths of the Japanese soldiers who had not yet died that they had not seen a large army pass by since a few days ago until today, which meant that the 20,000-strong army led by General Su I Ezo had not yet reached Kiyang City.
However, according to the time, it will be possible to arrive by this afternoon at the latest.
After observing for a while, Li Yun was the first to put down the monoculars and said, "Third brother, the Fourth Emperor Uncle told us before coming. We must take Jiyang City, and use Jiyang City as the center point to stop and annihilate the fleeing Japanese army. It's just that there are 20,000 of these Japanese soldiers, and the city of Jiyang City is far more fragile than that of Dangyang City. ”
After Li Ke heard his seventh brother's words, he also put down the mirror in his hand, and then showed a relaxed smile. Road:
"Xiao Qi, what are you worried about? If I'm not bad as expected. An hour after we set off for Jiyang City, our Shenwuwei army began to attack Dangyang City. Those Japanese soldiers were all as timid as rats, and the power of yesterday's divine artillery had already made their Japanese soldiers emboldened, and they were scared to pee when they saw the shells. ”
When he said this, Li Ke saw that the brothers did not refute. He continued: "The general of the Japanese army, Ben Yinfang Wenhui, who was originally stationed in Dangyang City, escaped from Dangyang City, and he will definitely go to find Su I Ezo. If Su I Ezo knew about the battle situation in Dangyang City, he would definitely be terrified. At that time, not to mention that the other party only has an army of 20,000, even if it is an army of 100,000. It is also difficult to conquer this small Jiyang City. ”
Seeing that his brother was so calm, Li Yun and Li Su were also relieved at the same time.
From the time they entered the Silla Kingdom to the present, they have not experienced much resistance except when they attacked the Japanese slaves outside the dense forest of Dangyang City, and even when they attacked Kiyang City, the Japanese people in the city were only a matter of a dozen cannons.
The remaining surviving Japanese slaves were hung up without even the slightest strength to resist under the attack of the wolf-like Silla army.
Although such a war seems to be a good thing in the eyes of others, for Li Ke and them, it makes them nervous.
If Li Ke is not in a nervous mood now, it is definitely a lie.
However, in front of his two younger brothers, he couldn't show any nervousness, otherwise, wouldn't Li Yu and Li Yun be even more nervous?
Huang Shulang followed Li Yuanba to fight in the south and in the north, and he personally experienced almost every battle that Li Yuanba experienced.
It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that Huang Shulang is a veteran of the battlefield!
Therefore, compared to Li Su and Li Yun, who didn't know Li Ke's psychology at the moment, he was naturally clear.
After getting along for a while, Huang Shulang knew that these three little princes were all wise and brave people, although they were a little immature in terms of marching formation, but the three of them came up with many novel tactics that even Huang Shulang had never thought of.
It's just that these three princes have lived in the palace since they were children, and they don't have so much war experience, and they are still a little deficient in this battle.
And the reason why Li Yuanba arranged for Huang Shulang to follow Li Ke and the three of them is precisely for this reason.
Therefore, what Huang Shulang can do now is to help the three princes accumulate experience and establish the confidence they deserve.
Seeing the nervousness in Li Ke's heart, Huang Shulang lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly pointed to the Shenwu Guard soldiers who were fiddling with the new black firearms in their hands at the city gate below, and said, "Your Highness, have you seen the thousand brothers of my Shenwu Guard?" ”
The three brothers Li Ke looked at Huang Shulang's fingers, and saw that the firearms in the hands of the thousand Shenwuwei seemed to be very different from the firearms in the hands of others.
"Weasel, what is this?" Li Su looked curious and asked.
Huang Shulang smiled proudly and said: "Three highnesses, the name of this firearm is 'Initial Semi-automatic Rifle', compared to the previous 'Hanyang Gun', the ammunition feeding device of this firearm is a double-row staggered fixed magazine, with a total capacity of 15 rounds. This eliminates the need to unload and reload every time a bullet is fired, saving considerable time. His Royal Highness the Martial King is extremely satisfied with this kind of firearm, but it has not really been applied to actual combat, and he does not know what their specific combat power is. ”
"Oh, and that kind of thing?" Li Su and Li Yun's eyes lit up at that time, if it was really like what Huang Shulang said, then the next battle against the enemy would be much simpler.
"It's nature!" Huang Shulang nodded solemnly, and said, "The three highnesses, don't worry, with our divine guards, we will not let such a Japanese soldier break the city." ”
The three brothers Li Ke also nodded when they heard this, after all, firearms are absolutely invincible to Datang.
Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would not have been so nervous after the Japanese developed the fire qi, and in a hurry to organize a large army to land on the Japanese and destroy them.
……
In this way, the Shenwuwei army waited at the head of the city for more than an hour, and the scouts who had been sent out by Li Su came back one after another to report the specific location of the Japanese army to the city of Jiyang.
It wasn't until a quarter of noon that Su Izo's army finally arrived not far from Kiyang City.
It's just that because there is the lord of the country in the army of the Japanese kingdom this time, Suga Ezo, who is the leader of the army, Yamamoto Chibe is extremely cautious.
When the army was still two miles away from Jiyang City, Yamamoto Qianbian asked the army to stop, and then directly buried the pot to make rice, and waited until the army was full and rested for about half an hour, and then let the army pull out again and rushed to the city of Jiyang.
Li Ke and the others in Jiyang City had already received the news, so the preparations were also quite in place.
Although the firearms carried by the army on this trip were powerful, they did not carry many bullets.
The reason for this is also simple, it is not that the weapons and ammunition brought by the troops to Silla are not enough, but that Li Yuanba did not let them bring enough ammunition.
In addition, these firearms were simple to use and extremely powerful, Li Yuanba was worried that Li Ke and them would develop dependence, so he didn't let them bring so much ammunition.
At present, most of the places arranged on this city are some catapults left by the Japanese and bed crossbows. There is also a large number of bows and arrows in the inventory in the new Jiyang City, which is cheaper for the Shenwu Guards.
Huang Shulang first arranged for some Shenwu guards to stand on the head of the city and bend their bows and arrows, as long as the other party entered the firing range, they would immediately give these Japanese soldiers a head-on attack.
As for the firearm squad composed of the first-style semi-automatic rifles, they were all arranged by Huang Shulang after the shooters, and those who were all in the hands, if they really couldn't withstand it, they would naturally use these firearms.
However, the Shenwu Cannon can be used first, and the momentum of killing these Japanese people can be killed.
……
In front of Kiyang City.
Yamamoto Qianbian and Ben Yinfang Wenhui each rode a tall horse, standing in front of the army, they frowned, looked at the familiar Tang troops on the city, and finally sighed, and rode back towards the rear of our army on their horses.
Behind the camp of the Japanese army, in a makeshift camp.
Soga Ezo sat on the soft couch of Party B, drinking the wine on the table very comfortably, as if he did not know that his army was in a life-and-death situation.
"Lord of the country, the two generals ask to meet!" At this moment, a small man from the Yellow Gate hurriedly ran in and reported to Su I Ezo.
"Oh? Let them both in! Su I Ezo didn't lift his eyelids, and waved his hand.
"Hey!" The little man of the Yellow Gate knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully and withdrew. (To be continued......)
