The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 899 The Self-righteous Sora Ozawa (One More)
After Zhou Qing led people up the mountain, he discovered that someone must be ambushing in the mountain.Because judging from the damage to the vegetation, there must be a large group of people passing by.

In order not to startle the enemy, Zhou Qing just made a simple investigation and then led the people back.When Zhou Qing returned to Xue Dingshan, Xue Xiantu also came back.

The two got the same result, that is, there are heavy soldiers hidden on both sides of the valley.Xue Dingshan nodded after hearing this, and ordered people to start setting up the red cannon.

But the mountains on both sides are too high.After working for a long time, the angle of the red cannon could not be adjusted.It can be said that it is difficult to cause effective damage with the red cannon.

To achieve the effect of shelling, the only way to move the red cannon up the mountain.Move to higher ground to arrange artillery positions.

Just as Xue Dingshan was about to transport the red cannon up the mountain, suddenly a messenger ran over.Said to Xue Dingshan: "General Qi, Marshal Fan has a military order."

Just a year ago, Gao Ping had already developed the transmitter according to the samples given by Li Tai.Now it has been equipped in the army.

Xue Dingshan took a look at the telegram and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.Then Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu said: "Uncles, it seems that we don't need to bother. Order the whole army to set up camp in place."

Although Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu did not see the telegram, they knew that Fan Lihua must have made arrangements.So he turned around and arranged for the vanguard to set up camp on the spot.

……

"General, the Tang army did not enter the valley, but chose to set up camp outside the valley." The Japanese Tanma came to the general Ozawa Sora and said.

"Baga, it seems that the cunning Tang army must have discovered us. But now that our army has a good location, they can't do anything to us."

"Since he doesn't dare to pass through the valley, let's spend time with him. The whole army is ordered to stand by. Without the general's order, no one is allowed to leave the post." Sora Ozawa said.

Following the order of Sora Ozawa, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were ambushed on both sides of the valley.Continue to wait for Tang Jun's movements.

……

The sky was slowly getting dark, and suddenly there were a few chirps of eagles in the sky.Hearing the sound of Diao Ming, Xue Dingshan immediately ordered Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu to assemble their troops.

And the 5 vanguard army was divided into two, with Xue Xiantu and Zhou Qing each leading [-] horses.Set up positions on both sides of the valley.

Just after Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu finished their preparations, they heard loud noises coming from the valley.You don't need to ask, you know it's the Condor Army, and it started bombing the valley.

Moreover, what the Divine Condor Army used was not ordinary bombs, but incendiary bombs equipped with strong kerosene.With the explosion of incendiary bombs, raging fires ignited on both sides of the valley.

At the same time, there were screams, and the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops who were burned were crying and howling.Even Ozawa Sora's command had no effect.

So a large number of Japanese soldiers rushed down the valley.At this moment, Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu were waiting at the foot of the mountain.All soldiers have headlights on their heads, illuminating the foot of the mountain like daytime.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers rushing down, the two gave the order to fire at the same time.An army is divided into various batches and conducts intensive shooting.

With a sound of gunshots, countless Japanese soldiers fell under the muskets.Although the speed of reloading muskets is very slow.But because of the large number of echelons, it makes up for this defect.

The muskets kept firing lead bullets at the Japanese soldiers, beating them until they were crying like ghosts and howling like wolves, and they couldn't get even half a step closer to the foot of the mountain.

This also made them lose hope of breaking through the mountain.But if you don't break through, you will be burned to ashes by the fire.This put the Japanese army in a dilemma.

But if you want to retreat from the opposite side, you have to cross a cliff, although the height of the cliff is not very high, only about two feet.But without the cooperation of the rope ladder, it is impossible to descend from there.

But now there is only this escape route left, so some soldiers risked their lives and began to climb the cliff.

In the end, Ozawa Sora only took away less than 10 horses, and all the others died on both sides of the col.Not even a whole body was left behind.

He didn't expect his side to lose so badly, and not to cause the slightest harm to the other party.This couldn't help but make Sora Ozawa very regretful, complaining that he didn't bring the cavalry up the mountain.

If there are cavalry on the mountain, they can use the speed of the cavalry to break through.That way at least there won't be such a large number of casualties.

So Ozawa Iso felt that he had found the weakness of Tang Jun, that is, Tang Jun was only suitable for long-distance combat, but not capable of close combat.

As long as one's own side has a sufficient number of cavalry, they will definitely be able to rush into the Tang army's camp if they pay a certain price.

Even Sora Ozawa felt that as long as he entered the camp of the Tang army, the Tang army would become a lamb to be slaughtered.So Ozawa Jingkong immediately sent someone to report the news to Emperor Qiming.

When Emperor Qiming got the news, he immediately dispatched 20 cavalry.We support Sora Ozawa to Shikoku Island.

And Sora Ozawa once again ambushed heavy troops on the only way from Shikoku Island to Honshu Island.Prepare to wait for Tang Jun to throw himself into the trap.

However, this did not affect the progress of the Tang army's advance, and it took less than a month.Shikoku Island once again became a piece of scorched earth.

……

"Marshal, twenty miles ahead is the last pass of Shikoku Island. It is also the only way to Honshu Island." Xue Dingshan came to the commander's tent and said to Fan Lihua.

"It seems that the last battle of the Shikoku Islands is coming soon. We must show the arrogance of the Tang army and let those despicable Japanese people know. They are like ants in front of the Tang army." Cheng Tieniu said with a big smile.

Hearing Cheng Tieniu's words, Fan Lihua nodded and said, "Xue Dingshan, I will give you another three hundred red cannons. I will give you three days to blow up this last pass."

"Marshal, don't worry, just give me [-] red cannons. In three days, the place will be blown to the ground. If Marshal can lend the Shendiao Army to the last general, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Xue Dingshan said to Fan Lihua .

"The Condor Army belongs to the Imperial Guard Army, which is the Emperor's Imperial Guard. It's not something that the Commander-in-Chief says can be transferred. You can only ask the Emperor for this matter." Fan Lihua said helplessly.

Hearing Fan Lihua's words, Xue Dingshan looked at Li Tai who was sitting beside the Longshu table.Then he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, can you lend the Divine Condor Army to the last general?"

"The quantity of burns carried this time is not much. It is better not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary. But I can lend you another army." Li Tai said to Xue Dingshan.

Afterwards, Li Tai ordered Luo Huan to lead the armor-breaking army and follow Xue Dingshan to attack the last dangerous pass on the Four Kingdoms Road.At the same time, Wu Yuanzhong was ordered to cut off the retreat of Shikoku Island and Honshu Island from the sea.
