Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 452 Blowing up his Umayazaka Palace

"act recklessly!"

"Five hundred cavalrymen dare to attack my six thousand strong army?"

Seeing that Liu Ke dared to attack his army of 6,000 with less than 500 cavalrymen, Ma Sanglu could not help but sneer.

Do you really think cavalry is invincible?

"Stand up your shield!"

"Eat them!"

With 6,000 troops at hand, let alone the enemy having 500 cavalrymen, even if it was 1,000 cavalrymen, Masangli would be able to bite off a piece of meat from the enemy!
However, he mistakenly underestimated Liu Ke's flexibility.

"Free Fire!"

Bang bang bang.

Bullet after bullet easily took the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

Even though Masangli had ordered his men to put up shields to block the bullets, Liu Ke led everyone to harass them in a detour instead of charging headfirst!

This also means that the shield cannot block bullet shooting very well.

After just one round, Masangli's face turned black.

One round of shooting from the other side actually killed hundreds of their soldiers. Not only that, the other side turned their horses around, as if they were going to attack again.

"Archer!"

"Archers, aim at them!"

"Shieldmen, gather together, don't give the enemy any chance to take advantage, protect the archers!"

Masanlu gave orders quickly.

While the shield bearers used as a wall to block the shooting of Liu Ke and others, the archers in the rear dealt them a fatal blow.

but.

This time, Liu Ke and his team changed their weapons.

"Bomb ready!"

"Throw!"

With the help of the power of the war horses, the bombs easily fell into the army's formation.

When Masangli was still wondering why the other party did not use muskets to attack, a series of roars suddenly sounded in front of him.

The Japanese soldiers were scattered by the impact of the bombs, and many of them who were closer were directly turned into a ball of blood mist.

Every time an explosion sounded, at least a dozen Japanese soldiers were killed, and dozens of them were seriously injured on the spot.

These explosion sites, like meteor craters, are scattered throughout the formation of 6,000 troops, making one's scalp tingle.

Damn damn it!

Masangli had a ferocious look on his face.

The enemy is only 500 cavalrymen, why are they so difficult to deal with? !

"All troops advance, enter the Umazaka Palace!"

The advantage of cavalry is that on the plains, no infantry can catch up.

Similarly, the disadvantage of cavalry is that it is inconvenient to attack cities!

As long as they dared to enter the Umazaka Palace before the other party attacked again, they might have a chance to confront them.

Otherwise, you can only wait for death here!

"kill!"

Just as Masanlu was urging his soldiers to head towards the gate of Umazaka Palace, two Tang soldiers rushed out from the side.

After seeing these two Tang soldiers, Masanglu's face changed instantly.

Su Dingfang’s army is catching up!

"Don't panic, Masanlu, I'm here to help you!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in Masanlu's ears, like the sound of nature.

Masan Lü was overjoyed, "Great! Soldiers, listen to my command and charge!"

"Go, go, go!"

As long as they break out of the Tang army's blockade, they can join forces with the reinforcements in the Umayazaka Palace, and they will have a great chance of entering the Umayazaka Palace.

At that time, they can completely rely on the walls of Umayazaka Palace to stop the attack of the Tang army!
The idea is beautiful, but reality always catches us off guard.

When Liu Ke saw Li Ye and Wang Hua leading the troops, he knew that the subordinates he sent to notify Su Dingfang had succeeded.

Now is the time for them to charge.

"Brothers, follow me and charge to break through the enemy's formation!"

This time there were no muskets, no bombs, only a horse, a man, and a knife.

The target is where Masangliu is!

When Masangli discovered this, his face changed instantly. He saw the other party's intention at a glance.

Led by five hundred cavalrymen, they are trying to tear apart the six thousand troops under his command. If they succeed, the next two groups of Tang troops will wipe out the six thousand troops he brought!
"Follow me to stop them!"

Li Ye waved the musket in his hand and aimed at the reinforcements sent by Koizumi Sake.

It is not an easy task to rescue this army!

At least.

As they were running wildly, they had already become targets of Li Ye and two thousand other people!
"put!"

Bang bang bang.

Bullet after bullet, like a rope that entangles souls, continuously reaped the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

Even though these Japanese soldiers held shields in their hands, they were still unable to withstand the dense bullets.

Koizumi Sake was a little panicked.

With such firepower coverage, can they really bring back Masanlu?
Would it be possible that the two thousand men he arranged for support would all be shot dead by the enemy's muskets before they even got close to Masanlu?

Koizumi Sake was watching the battlefield, and Emperor Shumei was also watching, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

The Tang army came very quickly.

They had just mobilized troops from the surrounding towns to stop the Tang army, but they didn't expect that the Tang army had already arrived in front of them.

Whether it was the burly and powerful Tang army or the muskets and bombs used by the Tang army, they all made Emperor Shumei feel deeply powerless.

Too strong.

Even if Masanori really brought reinforcements and entered the Umayazaka Palace, could they stop the Tang army?
Can they hold out until Kamimeno Gatana leads his troops back to support them?

Hard!

Even if Emperor Shu Ming did not want to think about it this way, the fact was unavoidable.

Those amazing bombs would probably blow open the door of his palace in a matter of minutes!

"It's over."

Nanba Jishi Hanniu suddenly sighed, "Masanro and the others are finished."

Emperor Shu Ming came to his senses and looked quickly, and saw that the cavalry led by Liu Ke, like an extremely sharp steel knife, split Masanlu's 6,000-strong army in half.

It was unknown what happened to Masanlu, but the army that was cut off was attacked by another army of the Tang army in an instant.

The 4,000-strong army led by Su Dingfang has arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

"It's over, it's really over."

Koizumi Sake couldn't help but sigh.

This time, not only would Masangliu's 6,000 reinforcements be eaten by the Tang army, but even the 2,000 guards he sent out to support Masangliu would die outside.

Emperor Shu Ming clenched his fists and looked at Su Dingfang's army which was lined up there motionless, then looked at the cavalry galloping freely on the battlefield, and the Tang army lined up to shoot and kill Japanese soldiers. He suddenly had the idea of ​​escaping from here as soon as possible.

When this thought arose in his mind, it quickly occupied his heart.

The Tang army is invincible!
"Your Majesty, we should have made preparations earlier."

Nanba Yoshibagi whispered, "From the current situation, the situation of Masanlu and his men is not optimistic. Once Masanlu and his men are defeated, the Tang Dynasty will be united and it will be difficult for Umayazaka Palace to resist their attack!"

"Therefore, I personally think that Your Majesty should disguise himself and quietly escape from the Umazaka Palace when the chaos comes. This is the only way to escape."

Koizumi Sake's eyes widened. "What are you talking about? The soldiers are still fighting for your majesty, but you want your majesty to escape first?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Nanba Jishi Hanniu: "Do you have any way to save the defeat?"

Facing Nanba Yoshihachiu's question, Koizumi Sake's face suddenly turned red.

He wanted to turn the tide, but the Tang army was strong at the moment. The soldiers he had sent out and those brought back by Masangliu totaled 8,000 men, but they were outwitted by the enemy with only 5,000 men.

What else does he have to say?

"There are only 3,000 guards left in the Umazaka Palace. They may be quite skilled, but once they are put into a real battle, they will quickly lose their combat effectiveness."

"So, your majesty, get ready!"

Emperor Shumei remained silent, staring at the reinforcements that were divided into two camps by the cavalry and were gradually devoured.

Six thousand troops.

It’s just gone!
There were also two thousand troops that Koizumi Sake had arranged to go out for support, but they were shot by the muskets and had to return before they could get close to Masanru.

I really can’t beat him.

"Go down and get ready."

Emperor Shu Ming spoke slowly, "The Tang army is already shrinking its formation and preparing to join forces. We don't have much time left."

"Yes!"

Nanbaji Hachigyu nodded.

There is nothing shameful about escaping. What is really shameful is to go and surrender yourself even though you know you cannot win.

There is an old Chinese saying that goes, He who knows the times is a hero.

Escaping now is just to make a better comeback later and take back everything that belongs to them.

Emperor Shumei kept comforting himself in his heart, as long as you give me some time, as long as I, General Kamimono Gatana, come back, I will definitely kill you all without leaving a single survivor!
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Loud shouts rang out on the battlefield.

Those who were fleeing and begging for mercy all knelt on the ground this time.

"surrender!"

"Surrender!"

"Do not kill me."

In just one stick of incense, the battlefield outside the Umazaka Palace returned to peace, except that there were nearly three thousand more prisoners on the side of Su Dingfang and others.

"General, I have accomplished my mission!"

"Well done, well done!"

Su Dingfang looked at the injured Liu Ke and others, feeling relieved, and quietly gave a few instructions, "Do you understand?"

"Thank you General!"

Liu Ke looked delighted.

Su Dingfang patted Liu Ke on the shoulder and said, "You paid with your lives for this."

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Liu Ke nodded heavily and immediately left with his soldiers.

Su Dingfang raised his hand and pointed at the Umazaka Palace, "Shout out, tell Emperor Shu Ming to come out on his own, otherwise, I will destroy his Umazaka Palace today!"

Several Japanese soldiers stepped forward and shouted at Umayazaka Palace.

However, what greeted them were naturally arrows from their own tribesmen.

"save……"

Su Dingfang did not react to the death of several Japanese soldiers, but this was enough to illustrate Emperor Shumei's attitude.

"Send the order!"

"Prepare the bomb launcher and shoot the bomb into the Umayazaka Palace!"

"Today, I, the general, will follow the prince's example and blow up his Umazaka Palace!"

Crossbows that were half a person's height were carried out. They looked like they were used to shoot arrows, but in fact they were not.

This is a modified bomb launcher.

You can easily launch a bomb five hundred steps away!
Although the range is not far, the key is that the bomb is powerful and easy to use!
After the bombs were loaded, Su Dingfang waved his hand and the bombs were shot towards the Stablesaka Palace at an astonishing speed.

Boom boom boom!
The roar of the bomb resounded throughout the entire Umayazaka Palace.

For a moment, sounds of calling for help, begging for mercy, and crying continued to ring out.

Koizumi Sake angrily commanded the soldiers to hide, beware of the bombs falling, and then looked into the distance.

……

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. Shall we leave now?"

"go!"

In the Umayazaka Palace.

Emperor Shumei, who had changed his appearance, and Naniba Yoshihachiu quietly blended into the chaotic crowd.

The palace wall had been blown up, and a large number of palace maids and eunuchs were scrambling to escape from there.

Emperor Shumei was no exception.

"How dare you! Let His Majesty go first!"

"Shh!"

"You are risking your life! Are you shouting so loudly because you are afraid that the Tang army won't hear that Your Majesty is here?"

Nanba Yoshihachiu slapped the guard beside him.

They had already started to flee, but he was still yelling at those palace maids and eunuchs. Wasn't he afraid that they would turn around and sell him and others out?

but.

It was precisely because of the guard's shout that the palace maids and eunuchs who were rushing to get in slowed down, allowing Emperor Shu Ming to successfully climb over the wall and escape.

It was this shout that alarmed Liu Ke and others who were hiding in the dark.
