It was night, and the crescent moon was obscured by thick clouds, and the whole land was plunged into darkness

In the thick of the night, the camp of the Tang Army was brightly lit, and under the order of Lu Xiaobing, the engineer battalion, the equipment battalion, and the logistics battalion of the army were frantically assembling all kinds of equipment.

The accompanying cooks, medical soldiers, and regimental staff officers and other auxiliaries, each carrying a large bag of Japanese soldiers, left through the open camp gate.

Under the cover of night, he quietly came to the west gate of Wendeng County, which was controlled by the islanders, and stacked and placed the heads of the beheaded Japanese soldiers.

The gunpowder masters who accompanied the army and the Taoist priests who gathered from all over the country under the summons of Chai Lao Dao Qing Xuzi nervously completed the final proportioning and filling of gunpowder.

Subsequently, Xiao Junpeng and other professional gunpowder engineers, He Mang and other professional engineers, plus dozens of Mo knife fighters drawn from the Mo Dao team, with tools and black powder to complete the proportioning and loading, under the guidance and protection of the scouts, left the camp and quietly lurked under the walls of Wendeng City.

Although Wendeng County is the only county seat in the eastern part of the peninsula, because of its remote location, Wendeng County is neither an important town nor a fortress, and it only has a three-mile city and a seven-mile Guo.

This level of county town is quite shabby in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, but in the eyes of the people of the island country, it is already a large city, and there are dangerous people in the island country except for cities such as Heijokyo (now Nara) and Heiankyo (Kyoto).

For the scouts who even come and go freely in the western capital of Chang'an, the eastern capital Luoyang, the important town of Bianzhou in the Central Plains, and the important town of Suiyang in Jianghuai, the city wall of Wendeng County, which is only more than two zhang, is simply nothing.

Only the rammed earth and adobe city walls in Wendeng County are full of flaws and holes in the eyes of the professional He Mang, even if gunpowder is not used, He Mang has dozens of ways to overturn the city wall of Wendeng.

It's just that the scouts and He Mang, these professional sappers, are not the protagonists, and after arriving under the city wall, He Mang and a group of professional sappers quickly chose a location.

Immediately afterwards, the entourage took out the sapper shovel, pickaxe and other tools behind their backs, and began to carefully dig pits in the city wall and nearby.

After a full hour of busyness, more than 2,000 catties of black powder had been buried, and after spending another half an hour to make enough camouflage and leave a spare fuse, everyone slowly withdrew.

Of course, the Changying Army was busy all night, and the islanders were not idle.

According to the order of Sakaueda Junmaro, the hidden tens of thousands of island nations were dispatched, and they dug a trench on the north and south sides of the camp of the Nagaying army in the dark, and preliminarily constructed a blockade line.

As the east turned white, the sky turned from dark to bright, and both sides who had been busy all night stopped their movements and began to quietly wait for the arrival of the big war.

Soon, the island country of Ashigaru, who was guarding Wendeng County, discovered that there was a pyramid-shaped hill on the open space hundreds of steps in front of the west gate of Wendeng County.

It's just that the sky makes it so that they can only see the outline, not the things that make up the hill.

As the sky brightens, the so-called pyramid-shaped hill reveals its true face.

As the sky continued to brighten, the island nation on duty was so frightened that his knees weakened and he sat directly on the ground after taking a clear look at the heads of the island people who formed the pyramid-shaped Jingguan.

When the samurai on duty were paralyzed to the ground with fright, Sakaueda Jun Maro and Gensheng were still immersed in dreams, and Gensheng even dreamed of leading the army into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.

By the time the awakened two arrived at the West Gate Tower and saw the Jingguan made of thousands of island heads, the news of the Jingguan had spread to the more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers who stayed in Wendeng County.

All the Japanese soldiers who heard the news were horrified and frightened, and they knew very well what they had done after arriving in Wendeng, and the several mass graves outside Wenden were not fake.

The eastern part of the peninsula, where Wendeng County is located, is indeed a remote place in Datang, but there are nearly 1,000 households in the county seat of Wendeng County, and there are tens of thousands of people under the jurisdiction of Wendeng County.

However, now, there is no trace of half of the Tang people in the entire jurisdiction of Wendeng County.

Of course, it's not that there are no Tang people

alive, but everyone knows that the few Tang people who are still alive are even worse than dead, and there is not much left after half a year of torture and humiliation.

Just arrived in Wendeng County, how crazy, how rampant, at this time, after seeing this Jingguan made of Japanese soldiers, how uneasy and panicked these inhumane beasts were.

Compared with ordinary Japanese soldiers, standing on top of the city and seeing the Jingguan outside the city, as the prince of the island country, the royal family of the island country, and the source of the actual controller of the expeditionary force were almost terrified.

Some things are being done and the sky is watching, and some things are not said but it doesn't mean they haven't happened.

In the face of the Tang people who suddenly appeared in front of him, he did not hesitate to collude with the Tang people to murder the brother of the emperor of the island country, who trusted and cared for him;

After the coup d'état, in order to ensure his status and power, he did not hesitate to kill all his brothers;

After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, in order to establish his authority, cut off the retreat of the landed Japanese soldiers, and make them better serve their lives, he ordered the slaughter of the people of Wendeng;

After being captured by the Tang Army, in order to survive, he frantically betrayed the information of the island country and the expeditionary force under his command;

After using a large amount of intelligence to deceive the Tang Army's scouts for a temporary relaxation, the sudden change of hexagram caused almost all of the Tang Army's scouts to be wiped out;

In order to ensure that the information after his surrender was not known, he used his power to torture and kill all the seriously wounded and captured Tang Army scouts, and at the same time executed all the islanders who knew the inside story:

This pile, one by one, if it is a big victory, it will be enough, in case of defeat, Li Shidao, who controls the real power of the island country, will not spare himself!

Once Li Shidao fails, the remaining royal families and big clans of the island country will not spare themselves!

What's even more terrifying is that if he is caught by the Tang army and knows that he ordered the slaughter of the people of Wendeng and tortures and kills the Tang army scouts, the Tang people will not let him go.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and Yuan Sheng began to tremble, and cold sweat began to swish......

In fact, the Tang army actually gathered the heads of all the soldiers of the island country, and built such a Jingguan composed of the heads of the soldiers of the island country overnight, which was indeed beyond Sakagami's expectations.

It's just that compared to Yuan Sheng, who was at a loss, trembling all over, and terrified to the extreme, as the actual commander of the island expeditionary force, Sakagami was much calmer and calmer.

Compared to Genmori, as the commander who destroyed the Ezo people entrenched in the Mutsu region in the northern part of Honshu Island, and as the current leading general of the island nation, Sakagami understands the impact of such things on morale better than others.

For the superstitious Shintoism and FO religion, dying in battle is nothing, but dying in battle on the battlefield and being cut off after being killed in battle is definitely not the same thing.

Therefore, Sakagami is very clear about the threat of this Jingguan, which the Tang Army has painstakingly managed, to the expeditionary force that has been painstakingly condensed in his hands and can be called the essence of the island country.

There are actually not many people in the island country, but they are not very tall, and it is too difficult to assemble such an army with an average height of five feet.

Of course, good news is not without good news for Sakagami, and at the same time, he also read the determination and will of the Tang army, through this, Sakagami confirmed his own inference, that is, all the horses sent to block the Tang army have been wiped out!

But in the blockade, it must have caused amazing losses to the Tang army, otherwise the Tang army would not have used such an extreme way to vent its anger.

Sakagami's original plan was to block the Tang army in a narrow area between the sow river in Wendeng County, use the fortifications in Wendeng County and the north and south sides of the Tang army, cut off the support of the Tang army, deplete the morale of the Tang army, and wait for the Tang army's morale to be low before fighting a decisive battle.

Through the actions of the Tang Army, Sakagami recognized that the Tang Army hoped for a quick battle, and his own ideas were correct, of course, only Sakagami thought.

If Nima Bazar or Wu Shaoxiang were here, after knowing Sakagami's plan, he would definitely give Sakagami a *** fight, and then tell him a frog at the bottom of the well.

Full of regret that his plan could not be executed, looking at Kyokan outside the city, Sakagami knew that everything was back to square one.

If there is no Jingguan of the Tang Army, of course, he can rely on more than 60,000 troops, but now he can't help himself.

Sakagami knew very well that the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the island countries who were now staying in Wendeng City had lost their real combat effectiveness.

After losing their courage, the island people who stayed in the city have been abolished, so the reason why Sakagami sent troops to burn Jingguan and *** was to prevent the main force of the island country stationed outside the city and responsible for blockading the Tang army from being affected.

Sakagami also knew that such a blockade could not last long. But if the Japanese soldiers of the island countries inside and outside the city have a certain contact, they will soon pass on this uneasiness and fear, and if the whole army is sprinted by this fear of the Tang Dynasty, then their own army will die without a place to bury.

It was a deep understanding of the nature of the island people that Sakagami had to change his plan.

After thinking about it for a while, Saka ordered that all information about Jingguan be blocked, and no one should talk about it, not disseminate it, and those who violated the order would be beheaded.

At the same time, he mobilized people and horses, brought torches, and went out of the city to completely burn Jingguan.

Of course, Sakagami also knows one thing clearly, there is a way that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, even if you do your best, but it is impossible to really do it without leakage.

There are hundreds of people in the castle who have seen the existence of Kyokan with their own eyes, and with these hundreds of people, all the people of the island who stayed in Wendeng Castle, whether they are ashigaru or samurai, will know about the existence of such a Kyokan in a very short time.

You must know that more than 100 years ago, the islanders set their sights on the Tang Dynasty for the first time, but in the battle of Baijiangkou, the islanders who thought they were invincible in the world were beaten by the Tang army and could not take care of themselves.

Since then, in the minds of the people of the island country, the Tang Dynasty has belonged to an invincible existence, and in the following hundred years, the emperor of the island country has sent several missions to the Tang Dynasty to prove this.

Sakagami, who is a descendant of the Han people, knows very well that in front of the Tang people, the island people themselves are inferior, otherwise how can an unidentified Tang person with a few hundred people complete the assassination of the emperor and complete the palace coup.

After landing, there was only one reason why Sakagami did not stop the various animal acts presided over by Yuansheng, that is, in order to let these island soldiers who landed in Datang break their fear of Datang and eliminate their inferiority complex for Datang.

Through the frenzied killing, it was indeed made that these soldiers of the island country who landed in Tang Tu temporarily forgot that they had an unforgettable fear of the Tang Army in their hearts.

However, at present, the hill made of the heads of the island people will undoubtedly awaken the fear of the Tang Dynasty hidden in the bones of the island soldiers.

Unless the Tang Army can be defeated in a battle, this fear will continue to be rooted in the bone marrow and blood of the island country, and it will never be able to turn over.

With the order given, the gates of Wendeng County were opened, and several island cavalry rushed out directly, running towards their respective targets to convey the order of Sakagami to prepare to attack.

Immediately afterwards, more than 300 people of the island country Ashigaru walked out of Wenden Castle with torches, tung oil and other items in hand, preparing to burn down the Kyokan, which was about two or three hundred steps away in front of the city gate, according to Sakagami's order.

It's just that Sakagami still has a hand in addition to this, and he doesn't believe that the Tang army will let him burn Jingguan, so he puts his real hole cards in the urn city behind the city gate.

In the camp of the Changying Army, which is five miles away from Wendeng City, the sentry standing on the watchtower holding a clairvoyant mirror noticed the change in the direction of Wendeng to the island country at the first time, and then shouted to the camp gate, Wennendeng City Gate has been completed, and the soldiers and horses of the island country have left the city.

After hearing the shouts from the sentries, the camp gate of the Changying Army camp quickly opened, and a fully formed cavalry company that had been on standby since early morning quickly stepped onto the war horse and rushed out of the camp gate directly.

Five miles was not a short distance for a foot soldier, and it would have taken at least two quarters of an hour to march at the pace.

However, for the cavalry, five miles is just a charge of war horses, not to mention that the camp is less than five miles away from the position of Jingguan.

Before the three hundred island country steps out of the city began to move, under the whip of the horse, more than 300 cavalry of a cavalry company had already been killed in front of Jingguan.

In the face of the cavalry that descended from the sky,

The island country of Ashigaru, who was splashing tung oil, was so frightened that he threw down his things and began to run into the city.

The cavalry who attacked naturally did not show mercy, and began to frantically chase and kill the remnants of the enemy one by one, wielding spears, spears, and horse lances.

However, after seeing this scene, Sakagami, who was above the castle, had a smile on his face.

The cavalry has very strong mobility and attack power, and if there is no preparation, Sakagami believes that these hundreds of Tang cavalry can even defeat ten times the foot soldiers of the island country.

However, the current situation is different, even if Tang Jun is a BMW horse under his crotch, the horsepower will be lost a lot.

What's more, he also reserved a trump card for the cavalry of the Tang Army.

And this trump card also comes from Li Shidao, who has become the emperor of the island country.

After winning the island country in the past year, Li Shidao spent a lot of money and a lot of energy, and spent nearly two years to build more than 2,000 sets of heavy armor suitable for the body of the island country in Jiaodong.

More than 1,000 of them were sent to the island country one after another, and were rewarded by Li Shidao for choosing to obey his island nation and nobles, in order to win them over to support his rule.

For example, Fujiwara Inuhachiro, who fell out of the *** in Zetou, is the son-in-law of a wealthy family with custom Mingguang armor.

In addition, after the construction of a thousand sets was completed, it was sent to Wendeng County by Li Shidao.

Although these thousand sets of armor were not sent to the island country, Li Shidao had already selected more than 1,000 samurai from the island country for this part of the equipment to start training in advance.

After Yuan Sheng and Sakagami led the soldiers and horses of the island country to land and take over Wendeng County, they also took over the whole thousand sets of armor.

Of course, this part of the samurai was also the first to land, and after accepting the heavy armor, they also became the first batch of real heavy infantry in the island country, and of course they also became the trump card in the hands of Sakaueda Junmaro at this moment.

With Sakagami's order issued, when the cavalry of the Changying Army pursued the island country's foot soldiers inside the city gate, these prepared island country heavy infantry had already lined up and walked out of the urn city.
