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

Chapter 463: Want to see the power of Tang Dynasty’s firearms?

Kagawa.

Warships were docked on the coast.

As Liu Rengui got off the boat, Cheng Feng ran over quickly, "General, according to reliable information, Soga no Emishi has at least 6,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and in addition, there is a 3,000-man navy!"

"However, Soga no Emishi seems to have known about our coming and has made arrangements in advance. Six thousand elite soldiers have gathered together and three thousand naval forces are all in place."

Koizumi Jiro frowned and said, "Could it be that he has a spy in Okayama County? Otherwise, how did he know about our arrival and make arrangements in such a short time?"

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "This person was able to maintain his strength despite the encirclement and suppression of Kamimono Kaname, which shows his ability."

Before Emperor Shumei was captured, the only rebellion in the entire Japan was in Soga no Emishi. However, even so, Soga no Emishi remained safe and sound under the siege of Emperor Shumei.

Isn't this enough to demonstrate Soga no Emishi's abilities?
now.

It was understandable that Soga no Emishi judged that they had already sent troops based on some signs.

After all, they had extremely powerful weapons such as muskets and bombs, but they allowed Takuye and others to escape.

It would be unusual if Soga no Emishi didn't become suspicious.

"Where is the enemy's navy hiding now?"

"Just over there in the inner bay."

Cheng Feng said in a deep voice, "I guess that Soga no Emishi is preparing to escape."

Liu Rengui shook his head. "Since he's here, he shouldn't run away so quickly."

The location in Kagawa is ideal.

At least for the current Soga no Ezo, it is a good hiding place.

First of all, Kagawa has a coastline, so if we are defeated, we can go out to sea by boat at any time!

Secondly, because Kagawa owns the land route to the south, if handled properly, he can rely on Kagawa as a base to advance to the south, and then take Kyushu Island and other places into his possession.

"The general is saying that he might want to fight us?"

A look of deep disdain appeared on Koizumi Jiro's face.

Although Soga no Emishi is very powerful, we also have to consider who the enemy he is facing is.

If he had gone to Mao Ye Xing Ming, he might have been able to continue to show off his power with the troops under his command, but now he was facing the extremely elite Tang army!
The most important thing is that muskets and bombs have become popular among this Tang army.

Not to mention that Soga no Emishi had only nearly ten thousand soldiers. Even if the number of his troops was doubled, they might not be able to withstand Liu Rengui's 4,000 troops.

wrong.

And the thousand elite soldiers I brought with me!
Koizumi Juichiro looked at the one thousand elite soldiers he brought with him.

However, after just one look, Koizumi Jichiro withdrew his gaze, because the 1,000 elite soldiers he brought with him, standing together with the 4,000 elite soldiers brought by Liu Rengui, simply looked like a group of minors...

"General Koizumi."

"General Liu, please give your instructions."

"I will arrange 500 people to fight against the 3,000 naval forces of Soga no Ezo. I hope you can lead the 1,000 elite soldiers you brought with you to fight together with them."

"no problem."

Koizumi Jiro nodded heavily.

He also understood a little about Liu Rengui's arrangement. After all, these 1,000 elite soldiers formed temporarily were, to put it nicely, elite soldiers, but to put it bluntly, they were temporary able-bodied men.

If they were to face the Soga no Emishi army head-on, not only would they be unable to inflict much damage on the enemy, but it would also be very likely that the morale and formation of the Tang army would be undermined.

It would be better to cooperate with 500 elite soldiers to deal with the 3,000 navy of Soga no Emishi.

This way.

On the sea, he has great autonomy.

"I have only one request, which is to keep all these 3,000 naval forces in Kagawa."

"General, please don't worry!"

Koizumi Jiro's expression suddenly became serious.

Liu Rengui nodded, then looked at Cheng Feng and asked, "Are all the things ready?"

"Everything is ready and we can leave at any time."

"it is good!"

Liu Rengui nodded, "Let's go and crush the Soga clan!"

Following Liu Rengui's order, Koizumi Juichiro immediately took his thousand men and the five hundred elite soldiers who were diverted from the army and stayed on the ship.

The purpose was to prevent the Soga no Emishi from being unable to withstand the pressure from Liu Rengui and escaping overseas by ship.

As for the war on the ground...

Koizumi Jiro didn't take it to heart at all.

Their original army of 30,000 was defeated by Liu Rengui. Now, can Soga no Emishi's less than 10,000 troops resist?

It's definitely unstoppable.

Soga no Ezo may not be as powerful as Koizumi Juichiro!
"Report."

"General, the Soga no Emishi have set up a garrison ahead of us. Should we take a detour?"

"It's not necessary!"

Liu Rengui looked calm.

Since Soga no Emishi knew that they were coming, there was no need to hide.

and.

Even if it is hidden, can it be hidden from Soga no Emishi?
After all, he had been here for a while, how could he not have made any deployment?

As for the defensive fortifications of Soga no Ezo, they were completely insignificant in the face of bombs.

"coming!"

Tuoye looked at the Tang army appearing in front of him with a serious expression.

He soon saw Cheng Feng standing next to Liu Rengui in the crowd. It was him that he had led his troops to hunt down!
"The other side doesn't seem to have that many people..."

After taking a quick look at the Tang army's formation, Tuoye turned sideways and said to his men, "Quickly report to the Lord that the Tang army has less than 5,000 troops this time."

"Yes!" After his men left, Tuoye's gaze once again fell on the Tang army's formation.

Unlike before, this time he saw the fire guns in the hands of the Tang army! In addition to the fire guns in their hands, there were also many soldiers, three or five of them carrying something more exaggerated.

Although Tuoye had never seen this thing, he knew that it was a Renyi gun, a Renyi gun that was powerful enough to shoot a person into a sieve.

Inuugami Oden was defeated by this thing.

"Who is blocking the road ahead?"

"Takuya!"

"Where is Soga no Emishi? Call him here immediately!"

Just as Takuno was about to speak, he heard Soga no Emishi's voice from behind, "General Liu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Soga Emishi, now that my Celestial Master has arrived, why don't you just kneel down and beg for mercy?"

"Hahaha……"

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

Soga no Ezo laughed loudly, "Liu Rengui, do you think I am Inugami Mita Kuwata or Koizumi Juichiro?"

"Those two good-for-nothings fell into your hands. Do you think that there is no one left in Japan?"

"That's it."

Liu Rengui spoke frankly, "Although Japan has many capable warriors, in my eyes, they are nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs."

"If you know what's good for you, surrender now and I can spare your life and even ask for a title for you. But if you insist on doing it, Inugami Ota and the others will serve as a warning to you!"

Faced with Liu Rengui's warning, Soga no Emishi remained unmoved.

With nearly ten thousand troops at hand, being a free and easy local emperor, wouldn't it be much easier to recruit people and impose strict control?

If he really wanted to surrender, he would have surrendered to Emperor Shumei long ago. Why would he wait until now?
"It's no use talking more!"

"Your Tang Dynasty is full of magical weapons, let me see them!"

Hearing this, Liu Rengui stopped talking nonsense.

He really admired Soga no Emishi's spirit of not shedding tears until he saw the coffin.

"I hope you can still be so stubborn later!"

"Cheng Feng!"

"exist!"

"Let them see how powerful the magic weapons of the Tang Dynasty are!"

"Yes!"

Cheng Feng nodded immediately, and then took five hundred elite soldiers and set up a battle formation.

In front of the fortifications of Takuye and others, five hundred people were divided into three rows, loading ammunition into their muskets.

"Can they shoot us from such a long distance?"

Soga no Emishi frowned. After all, he had never truly seen the power of the musket, so naturally he didn't know its true power.

and.

In his opinion, even something as powerful as a giant crossbow could only reach three to five hundred steps at most.

These people are holding things that look like fire sticks. Can they really shoot and kill enemies at a distance of three to five hundred steps?
"My Lord, you'd better be careful."

Takuno hurriedly reminded Soga Emishi.

If you are really not careful and get shot by the other party, it would be more or less unfair.

Soga no Emishi glanced at Takuno and felt that his words were intended to undermine his morale, but for safety reasons, it was not a bad idea.

"What you said makes sense, but I still don't believe they can hit us from such a long distance..."

"put!"

Just as Soga no Emishi was full of doubt, Cheng Feng gave an order.

Bang bang bang!
Bullet after bullet was fired towards Soga no Ezo's position.

Although it may not hit the target, what if?
If we are lucky enough and can really shoot Soga no Ezo to death on the spot, it will be a great achievement!
Pfft!

The soldiers fell down one by one with their wails, which made Soga no Emishi's face reveal a bit of shock.

Can we really shoot here?
When did the weapons of the Tang Dynasty become so terrifying?

The continuous firing of bullets and the continuous falling of soldiers made Tuoye's eyes gradually angry.

These are the elite soldiers they have carefully trained.

Just fell down so easily?
"Hide now!"

Takuya gave the order hastily.

at the same time.

The gunfire ahead finally stopped.

Tuoye carefully poked his head out and saw dozens of Tang soldiers carrying strange launchers coming to the front of the formation.

Soga Emishi frowned: "What is this?"

Tuoye shook his head. "The strength of the Tang army lies only in its firearms and bombs. They just used firearms, so the next step should be..."

"bomb?"

Soga no Ezo responded subconsciously.

Subsequently.

Then I saw bombs falling from the sky with sparks.

"Lord, be careful!"

Takuno's face changed instantly, and he quickly pressed Soga no Emishi under him.

Boom boom boom!
One bomb after another fell accurately on the fortifications.

The powerful impact force generated by the explosion is much more terrifying than that of a bullet. Even if you hide behind soil or rocks, you will inevitably be killed on the spot!
