Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Have the Japanese troops from Ono City come?" Zhao Chen asked.

After a while, scouts came and said, "Your Highness, all the Japanese troops from Ono City have come out!"

"Okay! If the Japanese army in Ono City doesn't come out, I don't want to fight them so soon. Now that they are all out, let's clean them up together!"

The Ono Castle is on the mountain, and it is very difficult to attack the Ono Castle.

If they can be served together, the entire Dazaifu will be in the hands of Song Jun.

After lunch, when Zhao Chen, Zhang Qing and Zhang Rong arrived at the gate of the north city, the soldiers reported, "Your Highness, there are Japanese envoys who want to talk to us."

Zhao Chen went upstairs, looked down, and said to the people next to him, "Shoot him!"

Chapter 1286 The Brutal Tactics of the Song Army (Part [-])

"I am the envoy of the Taizheng Minister, I want to see your chief general!" The Japanese envoy shouted in Hangzhou dialect.

But just as he finished speaking, arrows flew in unison, shooting him and the few people behind him into hedgehogs on the spot.

That's right!

In front of the main force of the Japanese army, Zhao Chen ordered someone to shoot the envoy who had just said a word into a little hedgehog!

Seeing this scene, Fujiwara Tadamichi's eyes widened, and he jumped into a rage, pointing at the top of the wall and yelling: Baga!

The Japanese army was filled with righteous indignation, and sternly criticized the shameless behavior of the Song army.

Everyone at the top of the city was also shocked by Zhao Chen's move. Isn't this intentional to provoke the enemy?

Liu Zhen on the side couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness, should we deliberately show weakness first, paralyze the enemy, delay time, and find a way to cut off the enemy's food and grass?"

Zhao Chen turned his head and glanced at Liu Zhen, couldn't help admiring him, and said with a smile, "You're a quick learner!"

Liu Zhen smiled awkwardly, and said: "The official has read some military books in the past few months."

"Then I have to continue reading, no, I need to fight a few more battles with us!" It was Zhang Rong who spoke, and he pointed to the Japanese in front of him, and then pointed to Ono Castle, "Ono Castle has complex mountains, if the Japanese army keeps circling Above, it is very difficult for us to take it down. If the Japanese army has been dragging their feet, not doing anything, stabilizing the camp, sending troops to cut off all the roads dozens of miles away from Shuicheng, and playing delaying tactics with us, we will be the ones who will be passive.”

Liu Zhen was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought of this level.

Zhang Qing continued: "Besides, our army is fighting in Japan. This kind of battle should be resolved quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"

Liu Zhen nodded straight when he heard that, but looking at the endless Japanese army outside the city, he still couldn't help being afraid.

Soon, waves of roars erupted from the Japanese army in front, and tens of thousands of people there shouted a word in Chinese: kill!kill!kill!

This word is easy to learn.

The sound floated over the water city, spread in all directions, and even echoed in the mountains dozens of miles away.

Countless banners fluttered over the Japanese army formations, like layers of clouds pressing down on the open plain, fluttering with the wind.

After the negotiation failed, the Japanese army began to prepare for battle after discussions between Tadamichi Fujiwara and the generals of the Japanese army.

A large number of Japanese troops began to stretch out their fronts and encircle Shuicheng.

Among them, Fujiwara Tadamichi led [-] regular troops at the north gate, and his younger brother Fujiwara Yoricho commanded [-] regular troops at the east gate after coordination.

Ping Zhongsheng only had five thousand in Ximen.

In addition, the civilian husbands all pulled behind the army to make up the numbers.

At least let Song Jun at the top of the city take a look at it, there are huge crowds of people.

Fujiwara Chumichi was wearing a large armor, looking at his army, he was full of vigor.

"The Song army must defend the city. Right now, the three sides of the water city are surrounded by our army. If the Song army wants to go out of the city from the south to transport food, it is exactly what I want!"

Fujiwara Chumichi said to the left and right.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scout came back: "Report! The main force of the Song army has left the city!"

"Going out of the city?" Fujiwara Chumichi was slightly startled, and immediately climbed up to the commander's platform, squinting his eyes and looking at the past.

Sure enough, the gate of the northern city was opened, and the Song army left the city one by one.

Fujiwara Tadatsu was surprised, but couldn't help being overjoyed. He immediately drew out his sword and gave an order: "Attack forward, and kill the Song army before the Song army arrays up!"

The forwards of the Japanese army are all wearing ganwan bamboo armor and samurai swords, and there are also a large number of archers.

They ran forward in small steps in groups, ready to quickly enter the range and attack the Song army still in formation at the door.

Fujiwara Chumichi laughed loudly on the handsome stage: "Hahahahahaha..."

"Why is the Taizheng Minister laughing?" Asked the lieutenant Fujiwara Tadakiyo.

"I laughed at Song Jun for being too stupid! Do you know the story of Song Xianggong?" Fujiwara Chumichi said disdainfully.

"The last general is a warrior with few books."

"That's a Chinese allusion. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State and the Song State fought a war at a place called Hongshui. The Chu army crossed the river. Song Xianggong's officials asked him to shoot and kill the Chu army while the Chu army was crossing the river. Song Xianggong Thinking that it was not an act of benevolence and righteousness, after the Chu army crossed the river, they began to form an array. Song Xianggong's officials asked him to kill the Chu army before the Chu army formed an array. Song Xianggong thought it was not an act of benevolence and righteousness. After the battle is over, fight with the Song army, and the Song army will be defeated."

Fujiwara Tadamichi skillfully told the allusion of the Battle of Hongshui in the Spring and Autumn Period of China.

From this point of view, the Japanese of this era have a strong cultural worship of China.

Aristocrats like Fujiwara Tadatsu speak fluent Hangzhou dialect, and they can easily read Chinese allusions, and even read the Chinese art of war.

If he took off his current outfit, changed his hairstyle, and put on a fancy dress, and stood on the streets of Hangzhou, people would probably think that he was stunted since he was a child, and it would be difficult to recognize him as a Japanese.

Fujiwara Tadaki said: "The Minister of Taizheng means that the water army in Shuicheng deliberately asked us to set up an army formation."

"Isn't this obvious?" Fujiwara Tadatsu laughed even more happily, "Song people regarded themselves as the celestial dynasty and regarded themselves as teachers of benevolence and righteousness, but they didn't know that they had made the same mistakes as Song Xianggong back then! They gave us time to line up, and we But they won't give them time to line up!"

The battle situation seemed to be as Fujiwara Tadamichi had expected. The Japanese forwards advanced very fast. When the Song army was at the gate of the city, they had not yet completed their formation, and the Japanese army was only more than 300 meters away from the city.

The range of the Japanese longbow is more than 100 meters. In addition to the depth of the Song army under the city, the Japanese army only needs to advance tens of meters, and the distance from the Song army's forward is only 60 meters.

At this distance, the longbow can break armor!

However, the Song Army obviously did not intend to give the Japanese army a chance to break through.

"Your Highness, the Japanese vanguard is here."

"Boss Zhang, Xiao Wang suggests using the eight-ox crossbow and cannons to shoot alternately to deter these dwarves!"

Zhao Chen's suggestion was immediately adopted, and it was actually the plan to play like this.

A series of seemingly stupid actions, such as killing the Japanese envoys and waiting for the Japanese army to line up, are actually guiding the Japanese army to take the initiative to attack.

In short, Song Jun was worried that the Japanese army would not take the initiative. If they ran away, stopped fighting, and ran back with vitality, it would be a future trouble.

Dozens of Song soldiers behind each eight-ox crossbow at the top of the city began to pull the thick rope, and the eight-ox crossbow made a creaking sound.

With the sound of a sound of equipment, the arrows rushed out like rain, like a long black cloud quickly drifting down from the top of the city, pressing down on the Japanese vanguard.

The arrow hit the bamboo armor of the Japanese army, making a dense sound, and washed over the Japanese army almost indiscriminately.

In an instant, a small piece fell in front of him.

Before the Japanese army could react, the sound of artillery from the top of the city also rang out.

Chapter 1287 The power of the fourth-generation artillery (second update)

Under such intensive and terrifying attacks, the Japanese bamboo armor defense was riddled with holes.

The Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, the flesh of many people's faces was rotten, and the eyeballs burst open.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the forward immediately turned around and retreated.

The smile on Fujiwara Tadamichi's face froze in an instant. He pointed at the battlefield in front of him, opened his mouth wide, and wanted to say something, but couldn't for a while.

After seeing clearly that the striker was blocked from retreating, Tadatsu Fujiwara reacted: "Why is this! Why is this!"

When the forwards retreated one after another, the first wave of Japanese attacks temporarily failed.

Fujiwara Tadao stomped his feet angrily: "What's going on?"

The striker withdrew, and could only watch the Song army line up at the top of the city, making Fujiwara Chumichi even more annoyed.

Such a good opportunity, unexpectedly did not seize.

After waiting for a while, the scout came back and said, "General! Our forward was attacked by bows, arrows and artillery from the Song Army!"

"How far was our army's forward from the city?"

"There are still more than a hundred feet!"

"Are you trying to tell me that Song Jun's bows and arrows are still capable of killing more than a hundred feet?" Fujiwara Chumichi said coldly.

"Yes, absolutely true!" The scout added, "The Song people's artillery is also different from ours!"

"How is it different?"

"The artillery shells fired by the Song army's artillery are not individual iron balls, but dense objects like arrow rain, with an extremely wide range of damage!"

Fujiwara Tadamichi's face turned livid.

Can artillery still be used like this?

When the group of Fujianese were selling artillery, they didn't say that!

He almost scolded Fujian people as unscrupulous profiteers on the spot!

Fujiwara Tadatsu looked in the direction of the top of the city, and then at the Song army below the city. He got off the commander's platform and continued to ask the scouts: "How many Song troops have come out?"

"Returning to the general, at present, thousands of Song troops have come out!"

"Move all the artillery to the central army, stabilize the forward position, and then send orders to the left and right to encircle!" Fujiwara Tadamichi ordered.

"Yes!"

The forward assault was frustrated, and after retreating several hundred meters, he began to adjust.

The left and right armies, each with 5000 people, encircle the front.

The Japanese army obviously intends to use their superiority in strength to lengthen the front line and make the Song army exhausted.

A large number of Japanese troops advanced, and in the Japanese barracks, the sound of drums shook the sky and roared like the sea.

Zhao Chen arrived at the left wing at this time, and he personally inspected the fourth-generation artillery on the left.

The first-generation tiger squat gun only weighed 36 kilograms and had a range of about 300 meters.

But this fourth-generation artillery already weighs more than 200 kilograms and has a range of nearly 1000 meters.

Of course, the amount of gunpowder required is also more.

"Your Highness, the Japanese army is only 500 meters away from our army on the right side!"

"Boys, fill up the gunpowder and let these Japanese shorties see our new weapon!"

The artillerymen of the artillery battalion were operating excitedly.

"Kill more today, kill as many as you can, and there will be rewards for killing this king!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The Song army shouted loudly, and their morale was high.

Immediately, there was a loud noise, like thunder on the ground, it was the sound of the fourth-generation artillery.

Tongues of flame gushed out from the barrel, and countless dense pieces of iron spewed out along with it.

It was as if a terrifying torrent of steel spewed out from the barrel, cut straight through the void, rolled up a large piece of green grass, and rushed towards the unsuspecting Japanese army.

The moment the pieces of iron hit the Japanese army, the bamboo armor on the Japanese army was as fragile as paper.

First, countless cracks appeared, and then these sharp iron pieces easily pierced into the body.

Because it was so fast, the Japanese soldiers who were hit didn't even feel pain, and their flesh and internal organs were blasted into balls of fuzzy meat paste!

The body was also lifted up in an instant, and landed on the person behind.

The picture looked like a burst of fallen leaves were suddenly blown up by the autumn wind.

Due to the power of the gunpowder, even the artillery seemed to retreat half a meter, but fortunately there were slide rails to buffer it.

But because Song Jun himself was unfamiliar with this fourth-generation artillery, an artilleryman covered his ears on the spot and yelled in pain.

Boom boom boom...

There are ten such artillery pieces on the left wing.

The ten gates blasted out one after another, bombarding the Japanese army.

Countless Japanese soldiers were blown like leaves in the wind under such a terrible steel rainstorm.

When it fell to the ground, the bamboo armor shattered, making it inhuman and bloody.
