The general's order has been given, and many trebuchets that are ready to go immediately start without ceremony.
Huhu~
In an instant, the sky changed color,
Stones rained down from the heads of the pursuers behind them, hitting the surroundings with a loud bang, knocking over several people in an instant, and various traps on the road suppressed their pursuit on the spot.
How unreasonable!
Xingluo was furious when he saw it.
Although their sea-defense crossbows have just begun to be set up, other heavy weapons such as heavy crossbows and trebuchets have already been prepared.
"Want to escape? Smash them to death!"
The generals gave orders, and each trebuchet was given colors one after another.
The entire team of spies was about to struggle to escape to the city wall, but after a crazy rain of stones, only three people were left in an instant.
Moreover, two others were hit in the waist or legs. They collapsed on the ground and groaned loudly, unable to move.
Phew~
Thirty Japanese pirate soldiers bravely slid down the high city wall, carrying shields and running towards them in fear against Shi Yu.
However, no matter how powerful the trebuchet is, no matter how thick the shield is in front of the stones falling from the sky, it is as useless as paper.
Boom~
As long as you are hit or even scratched by the whizzing stones, you will be killed or injured immediately.
Before the thirty people could run more than three feet away, most of them fell down in the rain of stones, and their blood instantly stained most of the ground red.
Masato Nei turned a blind eye.
"If you kill anyone again, you must rescue them."
"yes!"
Several more groups of soldiers slid down the city wall, and some with bright minds even jumped directly into the ditch, and followed the ditch to find the three remaining spies.
clever!
The generals at the top of the city saw this and nodded secretly.
Xingluo smashed rocks on a large scale, and almost all the traps on the city wall were ineffective. As long as the soldiers could endure the smell of gold juice in the trench, it was considered a safe place.
After paying a dozen more lives, several people finally ran to the spies. Each of them either picked up the man and ran back, or stayed behind to protect him.
The rain of stones from the sky followed him unceremoniously.
Many of them even hit the city head violently, making the city wall rattle.
Looking at the posture, it seems that they will not stop until they completely eliminate those spies.
"General," the military advisor reminded, shrinking his neck, "the enemy's heavy crossbows and stone bullets are about to come up, and it is really dangerous here. How about we go to the nearby hiding cave for shelter first."
"Damn it!" Masato Nei yelled.
"An attack of this level is not even a drizzle, so why should we be afraid? I will stand here and take a closer look to see if there is any problem with the city wall. If there is a city wall that cannot withstand even this attack..."
Hum!
He snorted twice with murderous intent, the meaning of which was self-evident.
The military advisor grimaced and quickly roared and scolded the surrounding generals.
"You are all dead. The general wants to inspect the city in person. Why don't you hurry up and build a tower to the sky?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Soon, a strong shed was erected around Nei Masato, which was not only piled with thick fire-fighting sandbags and fishing nets, but even camouflaged.
At this time, the three remaining spies were finally brought back to the city wall and quickly picked up in baskets.
Genjing Masato looked around a few more times, then turned and entered the nearest hidden soldier cave.
"General, there are only two people left. The other one was hit on the waist and couldn't carry it down."
Masato Nei was silent for a while, then waved his hand, "Let's give him a grand burial."
Soon, the two spies, who were roughly bandaged, were carried in.
One of them had a broken leg, the other was relatively intact, at least his limbs were intact, but his face was pale due to excessive blood loss.
"Meet the general!"
The two of them did not recognize Masato Nei, but seeing so many generals surrounding him, they also knew that this man's status was of great importance, so they hurriedly struggled to salute.
"Excuse me. You two have worked hard. Do you want to take a rest first?"
Although their bodies were shaking with pain, both of them shook their heads in unison.
"Very good." Masato Nei nodded and got straight to the point: "What information did you find?"
The two looked at each other, and Nagano, who was relatively intact, hesitated for a moment.
"Back to the general, my subordinates led five teams with a total of 25 people to Blackwater Pond to spy on the preparations of the Starfall Legion's rear."
Uh-huh!
The strategists next to them were prepared. They opened the map at once and quickly marked the location to the Black Water Pond.
Masato Nei glanced at it.
Blackwater Pool is about thirty miles away from Beiguan, and it is named after a deep pool nearby. The east-west post road from Yunchui to the capital of Baekje was built next to it, going around the Blackwater Pond.
"The post road in the Heishuitan section is about five miles long. Everywhere you look, people are building the post road."
Genjing Masato nodded slightly.
If the post road is not widened, Xingluo may not be able to transport the sea-proof crossbows from Jinlongtan to Beiguan.
"General, the brothers went over and found the road builder..."
Having said this, Nagano looked down first and found that the cave was full of generals and military advisors, and then continued.
He hesitated and said: "They are all our Yamato soldiers."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Nei Masaru's heart also dropped a beat, but deep down he disagreed.
Over the years, Ishikawa Taki of the Sasan Islands has been trying to attack Jinlongtan. Kudo Naoto, who occupies the east coast of Baekje, also intends to cross the Yuanning Mountains. During this period, it is unknown how many attacks were launched.
For example, during last year's severe storm, in order to protect the general class, Ishikawa Taki sent people to attack Jinlongtan and then led the team back without hesitation.
Those Japanese pirate soldiers who broke into the East China Sea Barrier had no way to escape and were either killed or captured.
Most of the captives were accepted by the Baekje court and sent to various places to open up wasteland and be slaves.
The other part was taken over by the Xingluo Army and Xiao Zheng's Japanese army to develop post roads, transport military supplies, build military camps, etc.
Therefore, it was not surprising for Masato Nei to find these prisoners on the East-West Post Road.
The other generals and military advisors also reacted and heaved a long sigh of relief.
However, Nagano's expression turned even uglier.
"General, these people are huge in number, numbering over ten thousand, and they are not the soldiers who landed on Jinlongtan. They... come from the east of the Yuanning Mountains."
Nei Masato and others were all stunned, and their hearts suddenly sank.
They have been trapped in Beihaiguan for a long time and are surrounded by enemies on all sides. It is extremely difficult to know the situation in other places.
For a long time, Masato Nei really didn't know the specific situation on the east coast of Baekje.
Now that he heard that there were many prisoners, and they were from the east of the Yuanning Mountains, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"How are you sure they are from the east coast?" The military advisor couldn't help but questioned sharply.
He couldn't help but be serious.
If something really happened on the east coast, then their hope of being trapped in Beihaiguan and hoping that one day Naoto Tiankudou would come over from the east would be completely gone.
Due to lack of food and clothing, the morale of the soldiers below was already low. Once the news of the fall of the east coast breaks out, I am afraid that without the need for Yun Chui's people to attack, Beihaiguan itself will be in chaos first.
At this time, the spy next to him who had been silent also tried his best to sit up straight.
"General, my subordinates are from Jiuming Island. Before setting off from the mainland, I met many fellow countrymen, and many of them were assigned to the command of General Ukawa Taishi on the east coast."
Having said this, he swallowed hard.
"Among the prisoners in Blackwater Pond, my subordinates and other team members recognized some people. Several of them were battle camp-level ship generals, such as the captain of the Springfield fleet, Haruka Haruka; the captain of the Kamemaru fleet, Kamemaruo. 1; Captain of the Fir Fleet, Fir is with me..."
As the little spy read the names of the prisoners one by one, everyone in the cave looked at each other, and the luck in their hearts dissipated little by little.
