Su Dingfang wore his wolfskin combat boots and took the lead in jumping from the boat to the beach, stepping on the beach that had been trampled by the previous soldiers. Behind him, Liu Rengui and other generals who did not participate in the landing battle also came ashore one after another and looked around.

of the surrounding environment.

Because during the previous siege, the Japanese troops on the top of the city were stunned by artillery, so they could not effectively counterattack. The only trebuchet that could attack here was also suppressed by artillery, so the front of Jiangshuang City to the beach

There was no fighting in this open space, only a few clusters of arrows scattered occasionally, reminding everyone that a big battle had indeed occurred here before.

Su Dingfang led the generals to slowly walk towards Jiangshuang City. When they reached the gate of the city, they found many large craters made by artillery shells. Each one was as big as a large military iron pot. Su Dingfang jumped into a

In the pit, dig out the cannonballs made of pig iron.

Come, then hugged his hands and said: "I didn't expect that a seemingly simple copper pipe could hit such a heavy iron ball so far, and the power is also amazing. I guess if it hits a person, no matter how good it is,

My martial arts skills are useless."

Su Dingfang's words caused the generals to nod their heads. At the same time, they looked at Liu Rengui in the crowd, and Liu Rengui also proudly introduced: "General Su doesn't know something. The power of this artillery is not the most powerful. I heard from the craftsmen that it is not the most powerful."

There is huge room for improvement,

His Highness even proposed to make the cannonballs hollow and then add gunpowder to make the cannonballs explode when they hit the ground. Unfortunately, it has not been successfully developed yet. Otherwise, to capture a city like Jiangshuang City, there would be no need to fire as many cannons as we do today.

!”

Hearing Liu Rengui's words, Su Dingfang and a group of generals were also excited. In their opinion, the artillery in front of them was already a weapon that could change the situation of the battle. They did not expect that there would be more powerful artillery in the future.

If such a powerful weapon could be popularized, they would have to save a lot of energy in fighting in the future.

Sighing at the power of artillery, these generals followed Su Dingfang into Jiangshuang City. They found that the buildings in the city near the city wall had been smashed into a mess by cannonballs that accidentally flew in. Many Japanese soldiers were guarded by Tang soldiers.

We are taking the time to clear the roads.

Jiangshuang City is not only an important military town, but also a large city with a large number of residents. The permanent population in the city is at least hundreds of thousands. Except for the Japanese people who were accidentally injured at the gate of the city, most of the other people stayed at home.

The courtyard door was closed and they did not dare to come out. A few brave people looked out through the cracks in the door. However, when the patrolling Tang soldiers passed by, these people immediately ran into the house in fear and never dared to come out again.

Su Dingfang and others walked into the city lord's palace in the center of the city. Zhou Long and a group of soldiers who had been the first to land were already waiting for them. After everyone sat down according to their positions, Su Dingfang said to Zhou Long: "General Zhou, this time

You and General Liu contributed the most to the capture of Shuoshuang City, but General Liu did not enter the city, so now it is up to you to introduce the results of this battle!"

Zhou Long is not polite. After all, apart from Su Dingfang, he is the oldest person in Prince Qi's Mansion. As for Li Shi, Xu De and others, they are just here to help and are not from Prince Qi's Mansion.

Zhou Long stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, "General Qi. My subordinates have found out that there were 70,000 enemy soldiers in Shuangshuang City before this battle. However, after this battle, 30,000 surrendered and 12,000 died.

The rest of the people fled when the city was broken. However, our army only suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and most of them were injured. After the treatment of the medical soldiers, the final battle dead should be less than 2,000!"

After hearing Zhou Long's report, all the generals sitting here were overjoyed. They didn't expect such a huge victory, but less than 2,000 people died in the battle, and it was a siege battle. This was simply unbelievable. But soon

They figured out that all this was due to the artillery's great power, even though the artillery actually killed more than 100,000 enemies.

There were not many, but they sounded like thunder, and the lethality of the shells hitting the city was extremely bloody. Under the threat of such weapons that took the lead, the Japanese were completely discouraged and resisted endlessly. This allowed them to occupy it so smoothly.

Jiangshuang City, otherwise we don’t know how many casualties it will take to conquer Jiangshuang City?

Thinking of the artillery, everyone once again looked at Liu Rengui, who had become a monk on the way, with admiration in their eyes. At the same time, they thought to themselves, no wonder His Highness the King of Qi attaches so much importance to the firearms camp and gives them all good conditions first. It turns out that he

He indeed has this qualification. But now he has only seen the power of artillery. How powerful is the musket in the hand of the soldier? They have not seen it yet. Thinking about it, it makes people look forward to it.

After capturing Jiangshuang City, Su Dingfang's army immediately entered the city to rest. In addition, they also had to make a gesture of calming the people and let people deal with the prisoners. After all, there were tens of thousands of people. If they were placed in the rear, it would be really difficult.

I was a little worried, but the problem was quickly resolved.

As they started to attack the Japanese country, the news spread immediately in Dengzhou. As a result, when the slave traders heard about it, they immediately took the money issued by the bank and took the huge sea voyage like sharks smelling blood.

The boats surrounded them, tens of thousands of people

There seemed to be a lot of prisoners of war, but they couldn't satisfy their appetites at all. They were all divided up within two days. There were even many businessmen looking for opportunities in the army, hoping to pay a deposit first, and wait until the army had more prisoners of war in the future.

, you can give them priority to choose.

After the escaped Jushi Dedubon gathered more than ten thousand remaining troops, he immediately sent people to chase Su Garulu in front and conveyed the news of the fall of Jiangshuang City to the other party. However, he himself was not in a hurry to see Suga Ruulu.

Firstly, he lost Jiangshuang City and was too embarrassed to go see Su Worulu. Secondly, he was worried about Tang

The army came from behind to cover them up, and he needed to stay here to defend the retreat of Su Wo's army. However, the remaining soldiers in his hands had already been frightened by the artillery, and there were not many of them, so he had no extravagant hope of blocking the Tang army.

, I just hope it can buy some time for Su Wo to enter the deer.

When Su Worulu, who was marching in a hurry, received the news of the fall of Jiangshuang City, he was so frightened that he immediately fell down. When everyone helped him up, Suworulu turned around and looked south, with an expression on his face that changed, and finally he was

With a long sigh, he ordered the army to speed up and must rush through the blockade of the Tang army in front as quickly as possible.

Su Wo Rulu's move can be said to be very wise. Jiangshuang City has fallen, and the 70,000-strong army is dead. Everything has been decided. It will be too late for him to rush back. The plan for now is to work hard.

To preserve the 80,000 elite forces in their hands, only by allowing them to break through the blockade of the Tang Army as soon as possible can they have a chance to stand up in the future. But will the Tang Army really let them achieve their wish?

Iwami Silver Mine is a low hill. This hill is not high, not even more than a thousand meters, but it has a very resounding name, called Fairy Mountain. However, there are no gods here, only silver everywhere.

ore.

Li Min walked around the top of the Fairy Mountain for several times. In addition to his bodyguards, Wu Meiniang also dressed in men's clothing to accompany him. She was the intelligence manager around Li Min. Although the intelligence system of the Japanese country was temporarily responsible to Su Dingfang, Wu Meiniang still

She was worried, so she rushed over from Dengzhou. Of course, the most important thing was that she could have Li Min all to herself during this period.

In addition to Wu Meiniang, there is another Japanese who is following them. Although this Japanese is dressed the same as the Tang Dynasty people, he is very short, with a long face and small eyes, and his wretched temperament cannot be concealed at all.

, as long as anyone has seen the Japanese, they will be able to tell them apart immediately.

Li Min stopped at a large artificially dug pit, then picked up a gray stone with white spots, and said to the Japanese man next to him: "Watch me on the stone, is this a mine rich in silver?"

?”

Following Li Min was Ishi Shang Shouga, who surrendered to Xue Rengui last time. After hearing Li Min's question, he immediately stepped forward and said very humbly: "Your Highness, this is the silver mine. What are you holding in your hand?"

The stone is the silver ore mined from this mine. As long as it is refined, silver can be obtained."

Li Min nodded after hearing this. The area around the mine below his feet was very messy, and tools for mining ore were scattered everywhere. According to Xue Rengui's previous report, when they occupied this place, they found some Japanese miners hiding here, and something happened.

A little unpleasant conflict, for example, there are a few bright red spots on the surface of the ore in his hand, which are the traces left after the blood dries.

Li Min threw the silver ore into the mine, then looked at the desolate environment around him, frowned and asked again: "How many people are there in the Shijian area? If you want to mine the silver mine here, if you don't have enough manpower,

If so, we have to make preparations in advance."

Upon hearing Li Min's question about the population, Ishigami Shouga immediately showed a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty, the Ishigami area is not a prosperous place, it can even be said to be very deserted, so there are not many residents, and the total number of residents is not much.

There are about 10,000 households, and with the arrival of the heavenly soldiers, some foolish people were so bold that they even ran away with their children, so the current population is estimated to be only about half."

Li Min also knew that Ishigami Shouga was not lying, otherwise he, a remnant of the Mononobe clan, would not be hiding here. However, Wu Meiniang next to her smiled and said: "Your Highness, Suga's 80,000-strong army will soon be fighting against

The two generals Xue and Hu have met. As long as we defeat them, the prisoners of war alone will be enough for us to mine silver."

Li Min laughed loudly when he heard this, pointed at Wu Meiniang and said: "Heroes think alike. I am also waiting for Su Wo Rulu to send us miners."

When Ishi Shang Shouga next to him heard the words of Li Min and Wu Meiniang, his expression became even more humble. At the same time, he thought to himself that he is indeed His Highness the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty. In his opinion, Su Woru's army was nothing more than a savage beast, but
