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

Chapter 464 A crushing defeat

Puff puff!
Soga no Emishi climbed up from under Takuno, spat out several mouthfuls of saliva, glanced at Takuno who was covered in dust, and then looked at the soldiers around him.

Soga no Emishi's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Just with this round of bomb attacks, this first line of defense has almost collapsed.

A large number of soldiers were lying on the ground, wailing constantly.

but.

This is just the first wave of attack by the Tang army!
How could this be?

How could this be?
Soga no Emishi stared at the scene in front of him in a daze. The shock to him was too great.

The first wave of attack by the Tang army alone destroyed almost all of their defenses, not to mention organizing an effective counterattack.

Archers and the like were almost all dead already.

"charge!"

The Tang army's charge began.

However, Soga no Ezo's defense was gone.

"My Lord, retreat quickly."

"The first line of defense has collapsed. We must retreat back to the city as soon as possible."

Takuye grabbed the unconscious Soga no Emishi and shook her vigorously, causing her to gradually wake up.

The first line of defense collapsed. What else could they use to resist the charge of the Tang army?

Life, head?
But there are nearly a thousand people here, and most of them have died. How can we stop them?
"withdraw!"

"Retreat back to the city!"

Soga no Emishi cried out loudly.

It was obvious that they could not fight outside the city. If they continued to defend this line of defense, it was very likely that everyone would die here, including the elite soldiers he left in the city.

In the area outside the city, the muskets and bombs possessed by the Tang army were like the scythe of the god of death, madly reaping every life.

"Come on!"

"The Japanese soldiers are scared!"

"Go ahead and kill them!"

The soldiers of the Tang army chased them even more vigorously after seeing the enemy retreating unhindered.

On the other hand, the fleeing group led by Soga no Emishi were afraid that if they ran too slowly, they would be caught up by the Tang army.

"Master, you can't run like this. The other party will catch up with you soon."

Tuoye stopped immediately and called out to his soldiers.

Soga Emishi frowned and looked over, "Takuno you..."

"My Lord, you go first, I'll cover you!"

Tuoye said sternly, "If we run away like this, we will only die faster!"

Soga no Emishi looked at Takuye deeply. At this critical moment, if Takuye stayed behind to cover the rear, he would most likely die here.

"careful!"

Soga no Emishi gave a reminder and hurriedly led his troops to flee towards the city.

"Listen everyone, they don't use muskets anymore. If they dare to fight us hand to hand, they are seeking death!"

Tuoye loudly encouraged the morale of his men, hoping that they could cheer up a bit, but the bombing just now had already destroyed their last bit of courage.

and.

Even Soga no Emishi has fled, how dare they turn back to fight?
"Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed without mercy!"

With Tuoye's warning, the soldiers under his command finally regained some of their ferocity.

"As long as we stop their first wave of attack, we can retreat back to the city!"

"The Lord will not abandon us!"

"All soldiers, follow me to kill!"

Liu Rengui put down the telescope with a smile. As for the way Tuoye and others chose to die, he could only say that they were courageous.

At this point, Takuya was no longer the only one who could turn the tide.

Although he still has hundreds of soldiers around him, how can he resist the charge of the Tang army?
The death of Takuye and others is only a matter of time.

"Pass the order, deal with Tuoye and others as soon as possible, and the troops are at the gates of the city!"

"Yes!"

After a stick of incense.

The large Tang army force successfully arrived at the foot of Kagawa Castle, stepping on the corpses of Takuya and other Japanese soldiers.

As for Soga no Emishi, he was already scared out of his wits.

Originally, he had the opportunity to send troops to rescue Tuoye, but he was afraid.

"My Lord, General Takuya died in battle."

"Ugh……"

Soga no Emishi sighed. Although he had sensed it when Takuya turned around to meet the enemy, it happened too fast.

It’s not that Tuoye died quickly, but the combat power and speed of the Tang army were too fast.

It can't be stopped.

"Have you found any traces of the Tang army in Narita Keigo?"

"My Lord, no trace of the Tang army has been found."

Soga no Emishi pondered, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The Tang army did not arrange any navy to prevent him from escaping from the sea?

Or.

Liu Rengui has already arranged people, but Cheng Tian Jingwu didn't notice it?
"Send a message, tell Narita Keigo to carefully explore the surroundings and make sure we can leave Kagawa by boat at any time!"

"Yes!"

Subsequently.

Soga no Emishi looked at the Tang army outside the city.

Menacing.

call.

Soga no Emishi took a deep breath. After all, he was not that idiot Kamimeno Kaname.

but.

The castle of Kagawa is tall. Even though the enemy has muskets and bombs, they may not be able to climb up the city walls, right?
Soga no Emishi comforted himself in his heart.

"Soga no Ezo, why don't you surrender?"

At this time.

Loud shouts were heard from the Tang army under the city wall. Soga no Emishi stuck his head out to look and saw that it was Cheng Feng.

Soga no Emishi clenched his fists and said coldly, "Archers, get ready. Shoot this man to death at the foot of the city!"

"Soga Emishi, are you so scared that you don't dare to fight us head-on?"

"joke!"

Soga no Emishi shouted, "You just took advantage of the power of firearms to gain a slight advantage." "If you don't have firearms, you Tang army are no match for me, not even qualified to be my opponent!"

Cheng Feng: “???”

Not qualified to be your opponent?

Do you want face?
Who do you think you are?
Cheng Feng said calmly: "Soga Emishi, this is my general's ultimatum to you. Open the city gates and kneel down to surrender, otherwise my Tang Dynasty soldiers will definitely break through Kagawa and make you die without a burial place!"

"Then you try it!"

Soga no Emishi said this and looked at the archer beside him, "Shoot him to death!"

Whoosh whoosh.

As Soga no Emishi's order came down, arrows shot towards Cheng Feng one after another.

However, Cheng Feng seemed to have been prepared for this. Facing the continuous arrows, he only retreated a dozen steps.

The arrows shot at Cheng Feng lost their original power in mid-air and fell to the ground one after another.

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

"Sad, deplorable."

Cheng Feng shook his head.

Cheng Feng thought he was a big shot because he was able to maintain an army of over ten thousand people during the reign of Emperor Shu Ming and not be defeated.

Now it seems.

He is just a despicable person.

How can such despicable behavior be accepted in a noble place?

"It seems that this is your answer."

Cheng Feng shouted, "Listen carefully. In three breaths, we will launch an attack on Kagawa Castle. If you want to surrender, capture Soga no Emishi now. General Liu will guarantee that you will be promoted three levels in a row, and your descendants will be blessed with a throne!"

"If you follow Soga Emishi and keep going down this path, you will be killed soon!"

"..."

On the city wall.

Everyone looked at Soga no Emishi with a bit more hesitation.

If you catch him, you can be promoted three levels and have your descendants blessed.

but.

Soga no Emishi is surrounded by a group of personal soldiers, but these people will not pay attention to Cheng Feng's words.

"It seems useless."

"General, let's attack the city."

Cheng Feng said in a deep voice, "Most of those who followed Soga no Ezo are his diehard fans. Even if someone wants to take down Soga no Ezo, they won't dare to act rashly before the chaos begins."

"What you said makes sense."

Liu Rengui nodded.

The military structure of Soga no Emishi had not been completely defeated, so even if those people had ideas in their minds, they did not dare to act easily.

However, if the Soga no Emishi troops were completely defeated and everyone fled for their lives, the outcome might have been different.

"Siege!"

"Siege!"

Bomb launchers were carried out one after another.

Bombs were installed one after another, waiting for the order to be given, and then all the bombs would be thrown at the city wall.

"preparation!"

"put!"

Whoosh whoosh.

Bombs with sparks fell towards the city wall.

Soga no Emishi and others, who had already seen the power of these bombs, shouted to hide at the first moment.

but.

The power of the bomb is not just the frontal force, but also the impact force.

Boom boom boom.

Under the bombardment of bombs, gaps of varying sizes appeared in the city wall one after another.

Even the soldiers hiding under the women's wall disappeared as the gap appeared.

"ignorance."

Liu Rengui shook his head secretly. These Japanese soldiers were as ridiculous as their bunkers.

Boom boom boom.

The bombs continued to fall, as if they were going to completely destroy this side of the city wall.

Soga no Emishi, standing on the city wall, felt more and more that the wall under his feet was shaking and seemed like it would collapse at any time.

When I looked up again, I saw bombs falling from the sky with sparks flying.

Soga no Emishi was completely dumbfounded.

It has been so long since the bombing began. How come the Tang army still has so many bombs?
How much did they bring?
Soga no Emishi immediately ran down from the city wall under the protection of everyone.

At least, under the city wall, he could feel safer. Otherwise, if the wall collapsed, he would...

and many more!

Just as Soga no Ezo was comforting himself, the city wall, which was bombarded by bombs, finally could not hold.

Just like an old man who was about to die, he slowly fell down.

Boom.

"I……"

Soga no Emishi opened his mouth wide.

The city gate tower was actually destroyed by the Tang army? ?

This……

this! !

"Run away..."

"help me!"

"help me!"

Some of the Japanese soldiers on the city wall were crushed to death when the city gate tower collapsed, some were half buried, and more were affected by the collapse!

Their courage, like this city gate tower, collapsed.

"kill!"

Shouts and cries of killing came from outside the city.

One by one, the Japanese soldiers ran down from the city wall and ran towards the city at a very fast speed.

As for Soga no Emishi, all his warnings and rebukes seemed so pale and powerless.

The defeat was like a landslide, and it was so real at this moment.
