Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 207
Although Feng Daiwen's office attacked the top of the city, the guards rushed forward to block it under Mayu Watanabe's order, and it was obvious that this place was also where the city's elite were. Many soldiers were dressed in leather armor and had bronze swords and iron swords in their hands.

Although the defenders resisted desperately, as the Tang soldiers continued to rush up the city wall, especially the rattan armored soldiers who came up from behind, they raised their crossbows and released them, quickly opening up the situation.

At the same time, the city gate was also breached. Feng Daiwen rushed in first, and the fanatics around him shouted "Destroy the heretics!" He raised his steel knife and slashed forward.

When Watanabe Mayu saw that the city gate was broken, he hurriedly brought people to support him. He happened to meet Feng Daiwen, who was waving and waving two knives in his mouth, one long and one short.

Just as Feng Daiwen rushed into the city gate, he saw a man in armor slashing at him with a knife, still yelling incomprehensible words.

Since he didn't understand, there was no need to pay attention to him. Without saying a word, Feng Daiwen slashed at him with the long knife.

After the sound of "Dang!", the long knife in Watanabe Mayu's hand broke in two, and he fell on his back. A bloodstain gushed out from his forehead to his chest as he fell.

The death of Watanabe Mayu was the last straw that broke the camel's back. As many people who saw Watanabe's death screamed and fled, a rout was formed.

Leaving the men and horses to control the city gate, Feng Daiwen led his men straight to the city lord's mansion. As for the road, he had already seen clearly with a telescope from a high place outside the city.

All the way on the rampage, no one came to stop him. Occasionally, a group of patrols ran out, and they either ran away or were killed immediately.

"City Lord, it's not good, the big thing is not good, the west city is broken!" Just as Ma Yazi was waiting anxiously in the hall like an ant in a hot pot, a soldier rushed in and shouted loudly.

"Ah!" Ma Yazi exclaimed in shock.

Before he could speak, another soldier ran over covered in blood, fell to the ground with a plop, struggled to sit up and shouted in horror, "Master, the south of the city has been breached, and the enemy is killing people everywhere!"

"Bang!" Another soldier rushed in crawling and rolling, shouting as he ran, "City Lord, the enemy is approaching the city guard's mansion!"

With this loud shout, the entire city guard mansion started to jump around. The servants hid everywhere and fled. The soldiers drew out their weapons one after another, as if the enemy had sensed their presence.

"Quick, quick! Someone escort us out!" Shouted Ma Yazi's expressionless face.

"I can't escape, the enemy has surrounded the city!" The guard said in the same sense of desperation.

"Kill!" The huge shout was getting closer.

"City Lord, surrender?" an aide carefully suggested.

"Yes, yes, surrender, we surrender." Tuoma Yazi said again and again as if grasping at straws.

……

When Feng Daiwen led people into the city guard's mansion, he saw a crowd of people kneeling, and honest weapons were piled up on one side, and men and women were kneeling on both sides separately.

"Shimane castle guard Tsuima Yako has seen General Kamikoku!" Said Ma Yazi with a respectful tone and a slight trembling, speeding up to the ground.

Seeing that it was going so smoothly, Feng Daiwen naturally wouldn't be polite to the island nation, and let people control it first, and then searched the city guard's mansion.

With the arrival of the interpreter, Feng Daiwen proposed to Ma Yazi, let everyone stop resisting, and then control the city gates to completely seal the city.

It wasn't until the sun went down that the basic investigation was done, and then Xi Junmai was asked to take some prisoners to clean up the battlefield, and Feng Daihuo led people to patrol the city defense.

Through the identification, all officials, large and small, were counted out and interrogated separately, trying to figure out the current situation on the island, so as not to lose sight of them.

It wasn't until midnight that a thick pile of interrogation materials was delivered, and Feng Daiwen regained his energy. He rubbed his eyes, asked someone to make strong tea, and read it seriously.

It turned out that the emperor was called Emperor Shumei at this time, and he had just ascended the throne not long ago. Now the biggest power on the island is not the emperor, but a family named Suga, who controls the economy of the island country.

The second largest family is the Ministry family in charge of military affairs and criminal law, which is a tripartite rivalry with the emperor.

Shimane Castle belongs to the Soga family's subordinates, Yuma Yazi is also the patriarch of the Soga family, and Soga's confidant, so he can sit on the seat of the city lord.

Around Shimane Castle, there are three other cities of about the same size within a radius of a hundred miles, and the smaller ones are about a dozen. They are still more than 300 miles away from the capital, Fujiwara-kyo. Due to the poor roads, they think it is quite far away.

The entire Shimane Castle is considered the largest city in the vicinity, plus hundreds of nearby villages and five small towns, with a total population of 28 and only [-] soldiers in the city. It is unknown how many are left.

As the detailed information came out, Feng Daiwen finally felt relieved. It was calculated that this was the largest place in the vicinity. With a population of more than 20 people, it was enough to meet the needs of the country and everyone was satisfied.

As for the next step is to stand firm and fight steadily. If the news is leaked, even if the soldiers are capable, but the strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake. After all, there are too many enemies, and I am afraid that I will not feel so good.

Fortunately, before the start of the battle, Chen Xiong was ordered to lead people to disperse outside the city to clean up possible deserters and other people who broke in by mistake, so that no news would be leaked.

For the island country, Feng Daiwen hated it from the bottom of his heart, so naturally he didn't have any good treatment, but because of the shortage of manpower, he had to promote those island country officials who were originally small officials to help manage it.

There are 12 people in Shimane Castle, who are attached to it and escort the captured soldiers to the wharf to mine stone mines. As for other people, they can't stay in the city all the time and let them idle.

So Feng Daiwen ordered the construction of a road leading to the pier, and built Shimane Castle according to the Central Plains model of city defense.

To Feng Daiwen's surprise, those tribesmen who were promoted were even more vicious and cruel to the people who ruled them before, and their actions were just punching and kicking. As for the slaves, they themselves had nothing to lose. Now they meet the generous Feng Daiwen , but more full than before.

Along with all the nobles and officials in Shimane City, their homes were seized. Although the island country is very poor, there are very few gold, silver and jewelry confiscated, but there is no shortage of coarse grains, and the climate is mild. Any place with a mild and rainy climate all year round has Many fruits can be eaten. Although the taste of wild ones is not very good, they are life-saving things for slaves.

Otherwise, with the backward planting technology of the island country, most of the population would have starved to death. Every summer fruit and winter preserved fruit, like squirrels, the slaves of the island country would take time to collect them to save their lives.

After torture, a total of more than 100 million shi of various grains were collected, many of which were hidden by nobles, and these were enough to feed more than 10 people for several months.

If you add Feng Daiwen's favorite thing to let people do, fishing, enough to eat until next summer's harvest, and fishing has become the habit of Feng Daiwen's naval fleet, where they go, they will catch fish and make fish. Dry.
