Great Song Pirate

Chapter 580 A Comfortable Siege

After dawn, the Fubo army had already cleaned up the battlefield last night, dragged out more than 800 stripped corpses from the camp, and threw them outside the city of Dazaifu.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of Fubo troops drove out of the camp, and began to line up outside the city. A series of Leigong guns were pulled out of the camp and placed outside the city of Dazaifu, and an artillery position was built to deal with such They didn't have much experience before, but they still have confidence in whether they can open this Dazaifu!
In addition, the Fubo Army also sent Xiao Jianfeng's cavalry to start hunting nearby. Anyone who found a broken soldier or a young and strong Japanese would be captured and those who dared to resist would be killed on the spot.

Both sides have launched intense preparations for the battle. This battle is related to the fate of Dazaifu in Xikaido, so the Japanese army in the city dare not be careless. There are Japanese running around everywhere, continuously transporting various supplies to the top of the city. , made a gesture of resistance to the death.

And the Fubo army also began to continuously bring out cart after cart of things from the camp, and many soldiers also carried some strange things, and they came to the Dazaifu city and put them up.

In order to capture the Dazai Mansion, Xu Yi also spent a lot of money. He moved out most of the guys that were transported with the ship this time. Of course, the servants like Takeuchi and the others are the most suitable for them.

So Takeuchi immediately sent a few servants with loud voices to the base of the city, cursing indiscriminately, naming and greeting all the women in the Fujiwara family, scolding all the Japanese soldiers on the city dumbfounded, Takeuchi These guys, don't look at other people's skills, but their language learning ability is not trivial. They have not been with Fubo Army for a long time, but they have learned a set of curse words. After they were translated into Japanese, they actually cursed Lang Lang Mouth, these people in Takeuchi are so scolding!Shouting Fujiwara Jun to let him come out to fight, saying that if they dare not come out, they are guys without assholes!But Jun Fujiwara in the city was stunned.

"Give me an arrow! Shoot these damn guys to death!" Fujiwara Toshi shouted furiously from the top of the wall.

But their bows and crossbows really have a limited range, and those guys cursing people in the city are far beyond the range, so they can't shoot them in a hurry. In the battle to the death, although Fujiwara Toshi was scolded and almost vomited blood, but his mind was still bright. Yesterday, there were more than 1 people in Muto, who failed to support him on the pier for a day, and were beaten and disabled by the Fubo army. Last night, Abe led the army Stealing the camp, he almost ended up with the whole army wiped out. Now he dare not go out of the city to fight against the Fubo army, so he had to let this distraught general be put on hold. Now he is determined He wanted to defend the city to the death, no matter how the Fubo army shouted and scolded him outside, he was a turtle with a big nest neck, and he was determined not to leave the city.

They scolded Takeuchi's servants so dryly, but they didn't provoke Fujiwara Toshi, Takeuchi couldn't help it, they used up all the vocabulary they could use, and if Fujiwara Jun couldn't come out, they had nothing to do!He had no choice but to return to Xu Yi.

Seeing that the Japanese in the city were really scared of being beaten, Xu Yi knew that it would be useless to continue cursing, so he ordered Takeuchi to take his men down and began to cut down some bamboo and wood on the spot, and began to make ladders and siege equipment. No, I can only improvise something to deal with it, mainly relying on the old methods to attack the city, but looking at such a tall city wall in front of him, Xu Yi is also a little depressed, it's okay, why are you building it so tall and thick!I don't know how many shells will be used to blast open the city gate!
But after thinking about it, he called Yang Zaixing over, and said to him: "This may be our last battle on the land of Wa, don't save ammunition, blast me away from this Dazaifu, and after doing this, we It’s about time to stop! Take out everything that needs to be taken out! Let the Japanese see our more powerful guys!”

Yang Zaixing also laughed, bowed and said to Xu Yi: "Don't worry, my lord, I'm ready. I've brought all the good things on board this time. There are some good-looking guys in the city. Let them do whatever they want." Huddled in the city, don’t think we can’t do anything about them! We can start now!”

Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes! You are the general, and I am still a spectator! You command!"

Yang Zaixing has long been accustomed to Xu Yi's style of throwing his hands away as a shopkeeper. If this kind of trust is placed in Da Song, it is absolutely impossible. Not only did Yang Zaixing be moved by this kind of trust, but most of the generals of the Fubo Army admired Xu Yi's courage.

Yang Zaixing rode his horse to the artillery position, and told them: "The lord has said it! Don't be sorry for the shells today, let me let go of the bombardment, let you have a good time today!"

The commander of the artillery battalion immediately received the order and began to prepare to go. Yang Zaixing then ordered Xiao Jianfeng: "Your cavalry battalion is responsible for patrolling the city, and they cannot be allowed to abandon the city and flee!"

Xiao Jianfeng immediately took the order to leave, and Gao Jun was also ordered to lead a group of soldiers and horses to guard the west gate of Dazaifu separately, saving them from running out from here to harass the Fubo army camp!
Toshi Fujiwara has been paying attention to the movement outside the city, but it seems that the Fubo army has been mobilizing outside the city, but there is no sign of attacking the city, so he asked Muto: "Why haven't they started attacking the city yet?" Woolen cloth?"

Muto Yori lay on the battlements and looked outside, but his face turned pale immediately, and he turned suddenly to Fujiwara Toshi and shouted, "Hurry up and go down to the city! They're about to start!"

As soon as the words fell, he flew over, grabbed Fujiwara Toshi, and dragged him towards the city wall regardless of whether he wanted to or not.

Fujiwara Jun was taken aback when he was pulled by him, and was about to break free from his hand, but at this moment, a strange whistle sounded in his ears, and then a rumbling roar was heard, and something flew over quickly , hit the position where they were just now, and knocked the city bricks and stones flying around, and one of the warriors who hadn't followed them was beaten to death, and their limbs and arms flew away. After going far away, blood even splashed on Fujiwara Jun's body, and the gravel splashed from all sides swept across the place where they were standing just now like a broom, knocking several of Fujiwara Jun's personal warriors to the ground. Some gravel was splashed on each of them, blood flowed on the spot, and they fell to the ground and wailed in pain.

Fujiwara Jun was frightened immediately, he knew what it was, he was already familiar with the name of this kind of thing, besides the legendary Leigong Cannon of Fubo Army, what else could be so powerful?He no longer dared to stay on the top of the city, and was dragged by Muto Lai and stumbled down the city wall.

One Thunder Cannon after another was ignited, and a huge roar resounded through the sky above Dazaifu, bullets slammed heavily on the top of the city like lightning, causing pieces of rubble to fly on the wall of Dazaifu, and there were people on the spot. Many Japanese were hit by gravel, bricks and tiles, injured and fell on the city wall. The blood immediately stained the top of the city. Now the Japanese know why the Fubo Army has not attacked the city for a long time. It turns out that they just want to beat themselves from a distance. !

Speaking of which, the fight has started. Except for the artillerymen who are busy, the rest of the Fubo army is very relaxed. They have a posture of watching a big show without any sense of tension. They applaud the performance of the artillery army and point fingers. Indicate the target to the artillery army and let them aim and shoot. Whenever a Japanese is blasted into the sky on the spot, there will be a burst of applause.

In this way, the dozens of cannons brought by the Fubo Army, you will sing, I will sing, and they will continue to bombard the head of the Dazaifu city and the city gate in turn, making the Japanese people on the city miserable. Go down to the city to hide, the military order is in hand, those who are good at going down the city wall will be beheaded, these Japanese people have to lie behind the battlements, not even daring to show their heads, as long as there are people gathering, they will be bombarded by artillery fire immediately .

And on the huge gate of Dazaifu, after a blast, it was already full of holes, and it was in danger, and it looked like it might fall down at any time, which scared the devils in the city very much. This is the first time they have seen the siege method, so under the command of Kato, a large number of devils risked being bombarded to death at any time, and brought a lot of bricks, door panels, etc. Enter the doorway and block the door.

The difference this time is that the Fubo army did not plan to blast open the gate of Dazaifu, and immediately rushed in to fight with them to seize the city, because there are still quite a few Japanese troops in Dazaifu, even if they invaded the city, they would immediately rush in. Xu Yi and Yang Zaixing are unwilling to spend a lot of their own strength in such a battle. Anyway, they still have enough ammunition, so they decided to use these superior long-range firepower to weaken the enemy in the city. After the morale of the army is completely wiped out, if they attack the city again, the casualties on their side will naturally be much less, so they are not in a hurry, but they continue to bombard the walls of Dazaifu, knocking down the Japanese on the top of the city. You have to run around with your head in your arms, but you don't have the ability to fight back.

Jun Fujiwara and a group of generals hid under the city wall, listening to the howls of the wounded soldiers on the top of the city, the rumble of cannons outside the city, and the sound of the shells falling into the city destroying houses, and feeling the sound of the shells. When the shock hit the city wall, Toshi Fujiwara exclaimed angrily: "How can this be done? If we let them bombard like this, our city wall will be destroyed sooner or later. You people should think of a way!"

A group of generals looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to deal with such a style of play, going out of the city to fight against the Fubo army?Thinking of how embarrassed Muto was yesterday, few people have the guts, and the strength of the Fubo Army is not much less than them, and they have all seen the military appearance of the Fubo Army, and their equipment, compared with them , These soldiers and horses of my own are simply beggars. Going out to fight recklessly is a dead end. Last night, Abe Kametaro took advantage of the night to attack and was beaten to death. They didn't even speak, just stared at Fujiwara Jun dryly.

Fujiwara Jun waited for a long time, but no one answered his words, so he was even more annoyed. He kept chattering in the innermost part, racking his brains but couldn't think of any better way to deal with it. One of his subordinates said cautiously: " Taishuai lord, although we can't fight back now, we still control the city wall. As long as they don't enter the city and just bombard us with thunder cannons, I'm afraid they won't be able to open our city wall for a while, as long as we hold out for a few days , as soon as the reinforcements arrive, we will fight out of the city again and cooperate with the inside and outside, which is enough to defeat the skeleton army in one fell swoop. Now we have no better way! Please be safe and don’t be impatient, too handsome! Put your body first, too handsome Go back to the mansion and rest!"

After hearing what he said, Toshi Fujiwara felt that what he said was reasonable. It might not be a good idea to go out of the city and face the Fubo army head-on now. In terms of their strength and combat power, going out of the city to face the battle would probably cause more losses than they do now. Big, so he nodded: "It makes sense, we still stick to the city now, but I don't know if the soldiers and horses in Ping'an Jing are suitable to achieve it?"

Just when Fujiwara Toshi was in dire straits in Dazaifu, Shirakawa was not in a hurry to send troops to Xikaidao immediately. He had arranged for troops to be dispatched earlier, but it was just to show the Fujiwara family. In his opinion, it was his time. The best time to use the power of the skeleton army to attack the Fujiwara family is to let the skeleton army consume the strength of the Fujiwara family first. When the two sides fight to the death, he will send troops to attack the skeleton army. The fleet that was being transferred and the soldiers were gathering in Sanyo Road, but they had no intention of sending troops immediately. The Fujiwara clan was not a fool, and immediately saw Shirakawa's ghostly plan, and was so angry that he scolded Shirakawa for his inhumanity in the mansion. Righteousness, but there is nothing to do with him. The Fujiwara family is not as powerful as it used to be now. There are many nobles in Yamato who are dissatisfied with their Fujiwara family. There are many people who want to replace them. These people cannot be expected to contribute to their Fujiwara family at all.

Under the guard of a group of personal samurai, Fujiwara Toshi, after explaining that Kato and the other guards must strictly guard against death, returned all the way to the mansion. At this time, he suddenly saw a lot of black people flying into the city from outside the city. Smoke and things smashed into the city in disorder.

"Baga! What is that? How come the Skeleton Army has so many weird weapons?" Fujiwara Jun pointed at these things that were falling into the city and cursed.

Without waiting for his subordinates to give him an answer, these things slammed into the city, some fell into the crowd, some fell into some houses, and immediately there was a rumbling sound of explosions, and the bricks Broken tiles, window lattices, and wooden rafters shot up into the sky with the sound of these explosions, and then fell down like rain, with some people's stumps entrained in them. This situation immediately made Fujiwara and his party shrink their necks in fright. The personal guard immediately covered Fujiwara with a shield, for fear that he would be knocked down by these scattered things.

After being hit hard by this kind of thing, the Japanese people in the city were frightened and ran away one after another. Finally, a path was opened for Toshi Fujiwara, and a group of people fled to Fujiwara's mansion.

Hearing the roar of explosions coming from all over the place, the roof was shaken from time to time and noticed that dust was falling down. A group of guys who had never seen such a thing looked around in panic under the eaves, fearing that they would be there at any time. Here fell a terrifying monster whose name could not be named, and took away a group of them.

Fujiwara Toshi was even more panicked. For a person of such a pampered background, his life is more precious than anyone else. He was terrified and pulled a samurai beside him and shouted: "What should I do? What should I do? It won't fall to us alone!"

While he was talking, there was a sudden bang in the garden of his backyard, which shook everyone's ears, and a samurai was quick to yell at Fujiwara Jun: "Your Majesty, this thing is really powerful. Isn't there a cellar for wine storage in the handsome mansion? It should be much safer there, or else please condescend to the handsome lord and go to the cellar to hide for a while!"

Hearing this, Fujiwara Toshi rushed out of the house. At this moment, he didn't care about condescending or not. His life was still important. He led a group of people and rushed into the cellar where the wine was stored. A clean place was cleared out for him in the cellar for him to temporarily settle down. When he got here, listening to the much quieter rumbling explosions outside, Fujiwara Juncai was somewhat relieved.

It turned out that Yang Zaixing, Xu Yi and the others saw that after a burst of bombardment, there were no Japanese people on the city wall. It would be a bit too wasteful to fight like this, so they greeted people and invited out their secret weapon. Xu Yi The 'invented' rockets were placed on the shelf. This time they brought a lot of them with the ship. They thought that once they landed and attacked the city, they would be very useful, but they killed them along the way. He didn't have a chance to let it show off its power, and it was only now that it was brought out to show its face.

Anyway, this kind of thing is a surface-killing weapon, and it doesn’t require accuracy. It only needs to hit the city of Dazaifu. Its technology is not too good. After it is ignited, it can only be roughly given a direction. God knows where it will fly. Anyway, after a period of improvement, these guys at least don’t have to worry about them turning back and flying back. I blew myself up, so after the Fubo army was set up, it began to launch violently towards Dazaifu.

Xu Yi looked at the rockets flying all over the sky with a telescope, and he was so happy from ear to ear. Although the accuracy is not high, at least most of these rockets flew out according to the expected target, and most of them landed in Dazaifu. In the city, listening to the roaring sound in the city, and the faint screams of the Japanese people, I knew that there were Japanese people looking good!

After a burst of violent launches, the Fuba army fired more than 200 rockets into Dazaifu in a row, and then slowed down, but still maintained a low rate of launch, sending one to Dazaifu city every once in a while. Their purpose is obviously to make the Japanese in the city restless and keep them in fear all the time. They don't know when such a guy will fall from their heads. It sounds a bit like a terrorist operation. With this blow.

Human energy is limited, keeping in fear for a long time is not good for anyone. In this way, the Fubo army fought from day to night, but did not make any siege actions at all. There were already heavy casualties, and a few rockets landed in the camp where the Japanese soldiers gathered, blowing up several Japanese generals who were gathering together to discuss countermeasures, not to mention the civilians and ordinary The soldiers died, and the city was almost completely plunged into panic. Except for some corpses, there was no one left on the street, and the walls were full of bullet holes. The gate was blasted into a pile of rotten wood, and only some messy things still blocked the city gate. After all, there was no opening, let alone the morale of the Japanese army in the city.

Under such circumstances, anyone can be beaten in vain, but has no power to fight back, and their morale cannot be raised. Originally, many of these Japanese soldiers still had some ideas, and they were eager to fight the Fubo army. But after one day passed, they completely stopped thinking about it. The ghost knows how many weird weapons the Fubo Army has yet to bring out, and no one wants to go out of the city to fight the Fubo Army anymore. After the beating, they didn't even eat a rice ball in their mouths, and all the Japanese were so hungry, let alone their morale.

But the Fubo army didn’t have such a thing. Their cooks in the camp were full of fish and meat, and they made delicious food. They picked buckets outside the camp and sent them to the soldiers to eat and drink, and the soldiers could eat them all. The hot meals, and the ability to sit and bask in the sun and watch a good show, these days are extremely comfortable. Comparing the two sides, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

After nightfall, the Fubo army left some personnel and continued to fire artillery or rockets into the city of Dazaifu, while the rest of the soldiers went back to the camp to sleep, so that the Japanese would not even dare to sleep and collapse like eagles. They didn't even have the chance to rush to repair the city gates and walls at night. Yang Zaixing, Li Bo and others even sent some sharpshooters with sniper crossbows to approach the city to ambush at night, and then kept hunting and killing those who tried to probe out to observe. The Japanese moving outside the city, as well as those Japanese soldiers who lit torches on duty, before midnight, the top of the city of Dazaifu must not be completely dark, because the Japanese also discovered that whoever holds the torch will be unlucky, and immediately there will be people who don’t know where they came from. The arrows shot nailed them to the top of the city wall, and they were so frightened that they no longer dared to set fire to or show their heads on the city wall.
