Su Dingfang, wearing his own wolf-skin combat boots, took the lead in jumping onto the beach from a small boat, stepping on the sand that had been trampled by the previous soldiers, while behind him, Liu Rengui and other generals who did not participate in the landing battle also went ashore one after another, looking around looking at the surrounding environment.

Because during the previous siege battle, the Japanese army on the top of the city was stunned by the artillery, so they couldn't fight back effectively at all. There was no battle in this open space, just a few clusters of arrows scattered occasionally, reminding everyone that there was indeed a big battle here before.

Su Dingfang led all the generals and walked slowly towards Jiangshuang City. When he reached the gate of the city, he found many large craters smashed by shells, each of which was as big as a military iron pot.Su Dingfang jumped into a pit, dug out the shell made of pig iron, and then hugged it with both hands and said: "I never thought that a copper pipe that looks so simple can hit such a heavy iron ball so far. Moreover, its power is astonishing, I guess if it hits a human being, no matter how good the martial arts are, it will be useless."

Su Dingfang's words caused the generals to nod again and again, and at the same time looked at Liu Rengui in the crowd, and Liu Rengui introduced it quite proudly: "General Su doesn't know that the power of this artillery is not the strongest. I heard from the craftsmen that it is still very powerful. There is a lot of room for improvement. His Highness even proposed to make the shells hollow, and then add gunpowder to make the shells explode when they hit the ground. It is a pity that the development has not been successful yet, otherwise cities like Jiangshuang City will be captured , There is no need to shoot so many cannons like today!"

Hearing Liu Rengui's words, Su Dingfang and a group of generals were also very excited. The artillery in front of them seemed to them to be a weapon capable of changing the situation of the battle. They didn't expect it to be even more powerful in the future. If such a powerful weapon can be popularized.After that, they will have to save a lot of energy in fighting.Capital Datang 374

Sighing at the power of the artillery, these generals followed Su Dingfang into Jiangshuang City, only to find that the building near the city wall in the city had been smashed into a mess by the shells that flew in by mistake, and many Japanese soldiers were guarded by Tang soldiers. It's time to clear the road.

Jiangshuang City is not only an important military town, but also a large city with a large number of residents. The permanent population in the city is at least 10,000+, except for the Japanese people who were accidentally injured at the gate of the city.Most of the other people stayed in their own homes, closed the courtyard door tightly and dared not come out, and a few boldly looked out through the crack of the door, but when the patrolling Tang soldiers passed by, these people immediately ran into the house in fright.Never dare to come out again.

Su Dingfang and others walked into the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city. Zhou Long and a group of soldiers who were the first to go ashore were already waiting for them.After everyone sat down according to their positions, Su Dingfang said to Zhou Long: "General Zhou, you and General Liu have contributed the most to the attack on Xiashuang City this time, but General Liu did not enter the city, so now you will introduce the results of this battle! "

Zhou Long is also polite, after all, there is no one but Su Dingfang here.It is because he has the oldest qualifications in the Qi Palace. As for Li Shi, Xu De and others, they are only here to help, not from the Qi Palace.

I saw Zhou Long stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "General Qi, my subordinates have found out that there were 1 enemy soldiers in Jiangshuang City before this battle, but after this battle, 2000 surrendered and [-] died. The remaining people, the others all fled when the city was broken. But our army only suffered more than [-] casualties, and most of them were wounded. After the treatment of the medical soldiers, the number of dead in the final battle must be less than [-]!"

Hearing Zhou Long's report, all the generals present were overjoyed. It was unbelievable that less than 2000 people died in such a big victory, and it was still a siege battle.But soon they figured it out, all of this had to be attributed to the cannon's great power. Although the cannon didn't really kill many enemies, it made a sound like thunder, and the lethality of the cannonball hitting the top of the city was also extremely bloody , Under the threat of this preemptive weapon, the Japanese lost all their courage and resisted endlessly. This made them able to occupy Jiangshuang City so smoothly.

Thinking of artillery, everyone looked at Liu Rengui, who had become a monk halfway, with a look of admiration in his eyes. At the same time, he thought to himself, no wonder His Highness Qi Wang attaches so much importance to the firearms battalion, giving them priority in any good conditions. It turns out that people do have this qualification.It's just that now only the artillery is showing its power. How powerful is the musket in the soldier's hand?They haven't seen it yet, and it's really exciting to think about it.

After taking down the Frost City, Su Dingfang's army immediately went into the city to rest, and at the same time, he had to make a gesture of calming the people, and let the prisoners be dealt with by the way. After all, there were tens of thousands of people. If they were placed in the rear, it would be really A little worried, but the problem was quickly resolved.

As they attacked the Japanese country, Dengzhou immediately spread the news. As a result, when the slave traders heard about it, they were like sharks smelling blood. The boat surrounded them. The tens of thousands of prisoners of war looked like a lot, but they couldn't satisfy their appetites at all. They were all divided up within two days. There were even many businessmen looking for ways in the army, hoping to pay a Approve the deposit, and when the army has prisoners of war in the future, they can be selected first.

After the escaped Jushi Deduben gathered more than [-] remnants of the army, he immediately sent someone to chase Su Wo Rulu in front, and passed the news of the fall of Jiangshuang City to the other party, but he himself was not in a hurry to see Su Wo Rulu, Firstly, he lost Jiangshuang City, and he was really ashamed to see Su Wolulu, and secondly, he was worried that Tang Jun would cover up and kill him from behind, so he needed to stay here to defend the rear for Suwolulu's army, but the remnants in his hands had already been killed by the artillery. He was terrified and there were not many people, so he didn't have the extravagant hope to stop Tang Jun, but just hoped to buy some time for Su Wo to enter the deer.

And when Su Worulu, who was marching in a hurry, received the news that Jiangshuang City had fallen, he fell down immediately in fright. Finally, with a long sigh, he ordered the army to speed up, and must rush through the blockade of the Tang army in front as quickly as possible.

Su Wo's move into the deer can be said to be very wise. Jiangshuang City has fallen, and the [-] troops will die and surrender. Everything has already been decided. It will be too late for him to rush back. To save the [-] elite forces in their hands, only by allowing them to break through the blockade of the Tang army as soon as possible will they have the possibility of turning around in the future, but will the Tang army really let them do what they want?

Ishijian Silver Mine is located on a low hill. This hill is not high, not even more than a kilometer, but it has a very famous name called Xianshan. However, there are no gods here, and there are only silver everywhere ore.

Li Yin strolled around the top of Xianshan Mountain for a few laps, besides the guards, Wu Meiniang also accompanied him dressed in men's clothing. She was Li Yin's chief intelligence officer. She was worried, so she rushed over from Dengzhou. Of course, the most important thing was that she could monopolize Li Yin during this time.

In addition to Wu Meiniang, there is another Japanese man following them. Although this Japanese man is dressed like a Tang Dynasty man, he is very short in stature, with a long face and narrow eyes. , as long as anyone who has seen Japanese people can tell them immediately.

I saw Li Yin stopped by a large pit dug by hand, then picked up a gray stone with white spots, and said to the Japanese beside him: "Watch me on the stone, here you go." Is it a mine rich in silver?"

The person who followed Li Yin was Shi Shangshou who surrendered to Xue Rengui last time. After hearing Li Yin's question, he immediately stepped forward and said very humbly: "Your Highness, this is the silver mine. The stone is the silver ore mined from this mine, as long as it is refined, you can get silver."

Li Yin nodded after hearing this. The mine pit under his feet was very messy, and the tools for mining ore were scattered everywhere. According to Xue Rengui's previous report, when they occupied this place, they found some Japanese miners hiding here. There were also some unpleasant conflicts. For example, on the surface of the ore in his hand, there were a few bright red spots, which were traces left after the blood dried up.

Li Yin casually threw the silver ore into the pit, then looked at the surrounding barren environment, frowned and asked again: "What is the approximate population of the Iwami area? If the silver mine here is to be mined, if there are not enough people If so, it is time to make preparations." Capital Datang 374

When Li Yin asked about the population, Ishigami Shouwo immediately showed a wry smile and said, "His Royal Highness, the Iwami area is not a prosperous place, and it can even be said to be very barren, so there are not many residents. There are only about [-] households together, and with the arrival of the heavenly soldiers, some foolish people are so bold that they escaped with their families, so the current population is estimated to be only about half."

Li Yin also knew that Mamoru Ishigami was not lying, otherwise he, the remnant of the Monobe clan, would not be hiding here.However, Wu Meiniang next to her smiled and said, "Your Highness, Su Wo's [-] troops will soon meet the two generals Xue and Hu. As long as they are defeated, the prisoners of war alone will be enough for us to mine silver mines." .”

Li Yin also laughed out loud when he heard it, pointed at Wu Meiniang and said, "The hero sees the same thing, I am also waiting for that Su Worulu to send us the miners."

And Shi Shangshou next to me heard Li Yin and Wu Meiniang's words, and the expression on his face became more humble. At the same time, I thought to myself, as expected of His Royal Highness King Qi of the Tang Dynasty, Su Wo's army in Lulu looked like a scourge to him, but In the eyes of His Highness King Qi in front of him, and even the beautiful woman next to him, he is like a chicken and a dog. With such a bearing, he really deserves to be a kingdom of heaven!
