Although Cheng Chumo complained here that what he said was unreasonable, what Qin Huaiyu said was reasonable.
However, none of the young generals at the scene cared about who was right and who was talking nonsense. Although their appearance made Cheng Chumo embarrassed, Cheng Chumo was indeed Cheng Chumo. He had learned the essence of the Demon King. He turned his head and immediately came to Xu Yunyan. beside.
"Master, look at how they bully me. What I said is not much different from what Qin Huaiyu said?"
Just when Cheng Chumo said this, Xu Yunyan looked at him and spread his hands.
"You'd better not worry about these things. Now that the Japanese city is resisting, there's no need to let them see the strength of our Tang army first!"
Following Xu Yunyan's words, Cheng Chumo turned his grief and anger into strength and spoke to Xu Yunyan.
"Don't worry, I will do it beautifully."
As soon as Cheng Chumo finished speaking, he waved his hand and a group of Tang soldiers moved forward again and began to assemble some of the pieces of wood they had escorted.
When the soldiers of the mountain clan on the city head congratulated their city lord for defeating the enemy general with one blow and dying, they looked at the majestic army in the distance and didn't think they were capable of breaking through their city. .
Maybe they wouldn't be able to hold on even in the hands of their city lord.
Didn't you see that they had exceeded the distance of throwing a javelin just now, and they actually threw a javelin by mistake and killed the enemy's general?
The soldiers of the mountain city kept saying here that their city lord was protected by Amaterasu and could kill an enemy with one shot.
However, the city lord of the mountain city felt quite proud when he saw his younger brother complimenting him here.
"What you said is right. I will show off my power and let you see how powerful I am."
The city lord in the mountain was proud that the morale of the soldiers who guarded the city had finally been lifted, and the soldiers cheered and applauded, not paying attention to the Tang Army's troops who were assembling items there.
When the defenders of the mountain city and their city lord finally celebrated, and the excitement subsided, the Tang army under the city had already assembled a simple trebuchet designed by Xu Yunyan and tested in actual combat.
Some more stones thrown from the trebuchet hit the mountain city, and the mountain city lord was a little dazed now.
How could such a big stone make these pieces of wood fly out when they were ridged? How can this be? Moreover, these stones were buried in the soil, how could they dig them out so easily?
What would Shanzhong think if he knew that Xu Yunyan designed this trebuchet and set up a special method and professional tools for digging stones? Technology is the primary productive force.
However, there were not so many feelings in the mountain, and there were not so many opportunities to reflect. These huge stones were thrown towards the place where the defenders of the city in the mountain gathered.
Although many of them missed, a few of them hit the top of this crudely built city.
In an instant, the soil was splashed, and the city lord in the mountain and many of his defenders were wiped out under such an attack.
Originally, they thought that their Lord of the City was invincible under the care of Amaterasu. Even if there were many enemies in front of them, they were just chickens and dogs. They could defeat them in an instant.
However, after the Tang army attacked, they knew they were wrong, and they were quite wrong.
Even the city lord in the mountain who showed off his might just now was beaten to pieces by a huge boulder. More soldiers in the mountain were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.
As for those Japanese Onoki soldiers who screamed and rushed to the top of the city to stack Arhats, but were repulsed and did not dare to make any move under the city wall, they finally climbed to the top of the city and fought with them by taking advantage of the city wall that was broken by the trebuchet.
After the death of the first enthusiastic soldier of Onoki City, the Japanese who were about to take over Onoki City died on the spot. However, if the first one had such an idea, there would be a second and third one.
After a group of Japanese soldiers started fighting on the top of the city, Cheng Chumo came to Xu Yunyan's side again with blood boiling.
"General, let me take action. Look at the city ahead that has been breached. How long will it take if we don't take action now?"
Just as Cheng Chumo said this, Li Chengcheng appeared out of nowhere and spoke.
"What you said is wrong, how can I let you go on an expedition?"
When Cheng Chumo heard that someone was dissuading him from going on the expedition, he hurried to see who was so unhappy about him.
Turning his head to look at the speaker, "Don't think that just because you are my master's brother-in-law, you can order me here and try to take my credit. I will not let you take my credit."
Li Chengcheng looked at him and smiled, "When did I say that I would take away your credit and not let you attack the city? How can you characterize me before I finish speaking?"
Li Chengcheng spoke very casually here, while Cheng Chumo looked at him.
"What on earth do you want to say? Tell me now! I don't have time without this brain and you to twist around here."
Cheng Chumo was a little angry, and Li Chengcheng chuckled.
"I never thought that General Cheng, a man with such a sensitive mind, could teach his son without considering the key points?"
Li Chengcheng's words left Cheng Chumo speechless for a moment. However, Cheng Chumo was still a bit quick-witted at times, so he asked Xu Yunyan for help.
"After all, I am also Master's junior. My mother and Master's current daughter-in-law are also cousins. She is also my aunt. Master is also my uncle. Uncle! Your nephew is being bullied. Don’t you want to say a few words?”
Chen Chunmei rubbed her hands carefully and asked Xu Yunyan. Xu Yunyan looked at him and sighed helplessly.
"Chu Mo! The Crown Prince is right! You did not take it into consideration at all."
While he was scolding Cheng Chumo again, Li Chengqian took a step forward.
"Chu Mo, it's not that we don't allow you to lead troops into battle, but the original soldiers of the Japanese country are fighting for us, so why should I, the son of Tang Dynasty, sacrifice my life and blood?
After they have completely lost their strength or been eliminated or driven back the people we sent out, won't we reduce our losses by dispatching them at that time? Now that they have the strength to resist, it is not good for us to increase casualties.
I brought so many sons of the Tang Dynasty here, and I want to take them back again. I can't let them fall here. Soon this will become my new county of the Tang Dynasty, and it can also be regarded as the land of my Datang Dynasty, right? On the land of my hometown! "
Li Chengqian told Cheng Chumo the reason in a persuasive manner. Cheng Chumo understood and looked at Li Chengqian and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
"I understand what His Highness the Crown Prince said."
Then look at these other people.
"Can you just tell me no? It's just that when I see the garrison on the city looking like this, unable to take advantage of the situation and beat the drowned dog to avenge the people of Datang, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart."
"Want to take revenge? This is not easy!"
Xu Yunyan suddenly said something, and Cheng Chumo looked at him with bright eyes.
"Master, what do you want?"
"Wait until the city is broken, and ask those who are related to the pirates, and deal with them how they should be dealt with. Those who work as corvees should be executed, but they cannot be allowed to run wild.
After finishing these things of killing chickens to scare monkeys, they gathered all their soldiers and conquered the next city. "
"Okay Master, I understand. I will do it now."
After Cheng Chumo received Xu Yunyan's orders and arrangements, he had to identify his identity and form an army of servants after conquering a city.
Just after Cheng Chumo left triumphantly, other young generals came to Xu Yunyan.
"Master, can you be so biased towards Cheng Chumo? We are also your disciples, although not as close as Cheng Chumo and you. Can you also arrange some tasks for us for the sake of Datang?"
"Your first priority now is to protect His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status and cannot make any mistakes."
After Xu Yunyan said a word, the others immediately bowed their heads.
"Why don't you have Cheng Chumo's straightforward temperament to snatch such resources?"
All the young generals were dejected here.
Not long after, cheers of joy erupted from the top of the city. The flag of the mountain city that looked like a ghost painting on the city head was cut off by Onoki Castle soldiers, which represented the complete fall of the mountain city.
The city in the mountain had fallen, and Xu Yunyan began to issue orders.
"All the troops came forward to take control of the mountain city."
After Xu Yunyan said a word, the army began to surround the mountain city. Cheng Chumo separated the population of the mountain city and made arrangements as he wished.
After Xu Yunyan broke through the mountain city, the city lords of several cities in the other direction where the mountain city and Onoki City were similar received reports from the spies he arranged at the same time.
"What are you talking about? An army of unknown origin set foot on the land of our Japanese country? And it broke through the large Noki Castle in a moment, and is now sending troops to attack the mountain city. ?
How is this going! How come there is such an extraordinary army? And you don’t even need to rest after capturing the city before continuing to attack the city? How can this be? Even if we attack a city, we still need to digest it. How can we attack a new city? "
However, these Japanese city lords were here to ask what was going on and why such an unexpected army appeared to attack their Japanese city.
But the spy shook his head and said, "Mr. City Lord, we are far away and don't know what is going on. We don't dare to come forward to inquire. We hope that the Lord of the City will forgive you."
Although the city lord didn't know what was going on, his subordinates already told him what the problem was and waved their hands.
"Okay, you can go down. You don't have anything to do here, but you must always keep an eye on the news about Onoki City and Yamanaka City. Report any news immediately, and at the same time arrange for people in Yamanaka City and Onoki City to get what we want. News, especially Ohnoki Castle.”
The lord of the Japanese city inadvertently issued an order to go to Onoki Castle to see what was going on.
While these city lords kept arranging trusted confidants here to investigate these trivial matters, several pirate ships in the east of Japan finally found their direction after a storm, turned their bows and headed towards Japan.
These Japanese pirates were shouting curses as they marched.
"What's going on? Didn't it say that we are dragons in the sea, and the sea is our battlefield?
Why do you still look like this? I actually lost my way on the sea and almost couldn't find my way home. "
A pirate leader roared loudly here.
The younger brother next to him was frightened but did not dare to say anything to refute. Instead, he was trembling and talking.
"Sir, in order to hold more money and supplies, we abandoned everything we could on the ship. We also lost the compass we used to identify the direction. This is the reason why this happened. I hope you will forgive me."
The little guy said this, but the pirate leader didn't know what to say.
"You can throw away all the things you use to identify your direction, but it's a shame you bumped into me. If I hadn't led you, other bad-tempered people wouldn't have killed you in an instant!"
But just when they traveled eastward for a certain distance and found that they were going in the wrong direction, they were distressed by the storm and the loss of part of the ship, and when they were heading west to show off their power, a pirate on the watchtower pointed forward and shouted loudly.
"Boss! There are ships ahead, many ships."
