Chapter 618: The Lost Dog
Although they only thought that the words of Fang Cai Jin Sung-tae were a joke, these Silla soldiers had to sigh at the power of the Shenwu cannon.
"Let's go, let's go into the city and have a look, presumably His Royal Highness the Martial King is already in a hurry!"
Shaking his head, Kim Sung-tae led these generals of the Silla army into Dangyang City together.
As a result, when they entered the city, they found that they still underestimated the power of this divine cannon.
Then I saw that the part of the building in the city near the city wall had already been smashed into ruins by the cannonballs that flew in from the city wall.
The building near the city gate is afraid that it has a history of hundreds of years, and it is a pity that it has been smashed into ruins like this.
At present, there are many unlucky soldiers of the Wa Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom, under the guard and whipping of a group of Shenwu guards, with heavy shackles on their feet, cleaning up the ruins.
In addition to being a military city, Dangyang Fortress is unusually prosperous because it is adjacent to Jinseong, the capital of Silla.
If you take a national census, you can find that this Dangyang City is a big city with many residents, and the permanent population in the city is at least 100,000.
However, since the people in the city heard that the Japanese kingdom had attacked, they fled and hid as many as they could, and the great city of 100,000 people, by the time the Japanese army broke through the city, there were no surplus of 30,000 or 40,000 people.
Fortunately, these Japanese people were not as inhumane as they were more than a thousand years later, and after occupying Dangyang City, they did not implement the three-light policy on Dangyang City, which means that they did not embarrass the Silla people in those cities.
However, in troubled times, the Japanese slaves would also restrict the movement of these Silla people to some extent, and it was absolutely impossible to let these Silla people go out of the city, but let them all stay in their own homes, and they were not allowed to come out of the courtyard door closed.
So, when Kim Sung-tae entered the city. It was somewhat of a comfort to him to find that the ordinary citizens of Silla had not died much.
……
On the other side, Li Yuanba, who entered Dangyang City in one step before Jin Shengtai, straddled the war horse, stepped on the ground that had been stained red with blood and entered the city lord's mansion in Dangyang City.
Because at the time of the previous siege battle, the Japanese slaves stationed on the city wall and the Silla army supporting the Japanese slaves had been stunned by the Shenmu cannon. Therefore, there is simply no ability to organize an effective counterattack.
And the only catapult that could be used was also destroyed by the Shenwu cannon, so the main battlefield was changed from the boundary in front of the city wall to the streets and alleys in Dangyang City.
As the very center of the entire Dangyang City, the City Lord's Mansion is also the mansion of Wenhui of Ben Yin Fang, which is naturally the main target of Shenwuwei.
And in order to confuse the Shenwuwei and buy a certain amount of time for Ben Yin Fang Wenhui to escape, the Japanese slave army also arranged the largest number of troops in front of the city lord's mansion.
Therefore, there was so much blood in front of this city lord's mansion that it almost stained all the ground in front of this mansion red.
If it weren't for the Divine Warrior Guard's army, they would have already cleared the front of the City Lord's Mansion. I'm afraid it's already a mountain of corpses here.
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Li Yuanba did not rush to see the loot left in the mansion, but directly asked about the results of this battle to break the city.
Su Dingfang, who had just returned from the city, stepped forward and hugged his fists and said to Li Yuanba:
"Lord Qiqi, the last general has found out that there were 20,000 enemy soldiers in Dangyang City before this battle. Among them, there were 10,000 Japanese soldiers and 10,000 Silla soldiers. However, after this battle, the number of Japanese soldiers surrendered was about 6,000. More than 3,000 people were killed in the battle, and 3,000 Silla soldiers surrendered. More than 5,000 people were killed in the battle, and the rest fled when the city was broken! ”
Li Yuanba nodded and continued: "What are the casualties of our army? ”
Su Dingfang thought for a while and said, "My Shenwuwei army has not suffered the slightest casualties, and the Silla soldiers have suffered two thousand casualties, and most of them are slightly injured. After the treatment of our Datang medical officer, the final number of battle dead was only 1,000! ”
Hearing Su Dingfang's report, Li Yuanba did not show any disappointment or joy at this, after all, these achievements were extremely normal in his opinion.
With the help of divine artillery, the sound of the cannon is like thunder. Moreover, the lethality of the cannonballs hitting the city wall was also extremely fierce, and under the powerful attack of this weapon, the Japanese slaves and Silla soldiers stationed on the castle head were discouraged, and they had no intention of continuing to resist......
If this is still a big casualty to take Dangyang City, then the Shenwuwei army will not need to be called a Tang weapon!
……
It was also when Li Yuanba and their side captured Dangyang City, in a valley three miles away from Dangyang City.
Ben Yinfang Wenhui, who had escaped, led more than 1,000 of his country's nobles and remnants of the defeated army, and had caught up with the army of Bian.
"Report, the general, the lord of the country, General Ben Yinfang is here, and now he is waiting outside the army!"
A Japanese slave soldier hurriedly ran into a temporary camp tent in the middle of the garrison of the army, and there was not only their general in the camp, but I didn't expect Su I Ezo to be there.
It turned out that considering the strength of the Tang Shenwuwei army, Ben Yin Fang Wenhui was worried that the army would not be able to resist, so he suggested to Su I Ezo that he go out of the city with the army, in order to leave a back road.
Of course, if you can defend the city, that's the best.
"Oh, General Beninfang is here? Presumably there is news coming back! ”
A happy look appeared on Suga Ezo's face, and he stood up and said, "Hurry up and invite him in!" ”
Seeing the joy on Su I Ezo's face, the little soldier who gave the order didn't say much, but went down directly to call Su I Ezo.
After the time when there was no tea, Su I Ezo returned, and it was still with the news of the defeat of Dangyang City.
"What do you say? The fall of the city? Then what are you doing when you escape, why don't you die in Dangyang City! ”
When he received the news of the fall of Dangyang City, Su I Ezo almost didn't catch his breath, and just suffocated to death.
When he summoned his breath, Suga Ezo turned to look at Ben Yin Fang Wenhui, the expression on his face changed uncertainly, but in the end, he still sighed and ordered the army to speed up and escape from Silla as quickly as possible.
Soga Ezo's order was still very wise for their Wa Kingdom.
After all, when the city of Dangyang had fallen, the 20,000 troops left behind were killed, surrendered, and fled, and everything was telling them that not only did they fail in the battle to destroy Silla this time, but even their own country could not be saved.
Therefore, the plan for the present is to keep the only 20,000 troops in hand, so that we can make a comeback.
Of course, the premise is that they can escape from Silla and flee to the sea, and when they get to the sea, they have hope, even if they go to the sea to be pirates, it is better than Si in the hands of Datang. (To be continued......)
