"Your Majesty the Emperor, something is wrong. I don't know why the Tang army suddenly attacked the island of Kyushu. Today, most of Kyushu Island has fallen. "The minister of the Japanese kingdom, Xiao Bird, said to the emperor of tomorrow.

Hearing that the Tang army was attacking Kyushu Island, Emperor Qi stood up in surprise. He asked Xiao Bird: "Why did the Tang army suddenly send troops to capture Kyushu Island, is it someone who offended the Tang Dynasty." ”

"The minister has already sent someone to investigate, and my country has not offended Datang in the slightest. As for the reason for Datang's sudden dispatch of troops, it is still under investigation. The little bird said to the Emperor of Tomorrow.

"Send an envoy to contact Tang Jun immediately, and you must find out the reason for the matter. Maybe there's some misunderstanding between us. Emperor Qi Ming said to the little bird with a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, no matter what the reason for the Tang army to attack the island of Kyushu. They are all encroaching on our territory, and our officers and men must defend themselves as a whole. "The general of the Japanese kingdom, Ozawa Iso, said to the Emperor of Tomorrow.

"With the strength of the Wa State, how can you be the enemy of the Tang Army? It would be better to send someone to negotiate peace with the Tang Army as soon as possible. The little bird said without raising his mouth.

Immediately, the Wenchen of the Wa State, led by Xiao Bird Buju, said that they should negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty. However, the military generals led by the great general Ozawa Sora advocated war with the Tang Dynasty. For a while, there was a pot of porridge in the court.

And Emperor Qi Ming didn't know what to do for a while, after all, she knew it very well in her heart. With its own strength, it is difficult to compete with the Tang army.

But if you don't resist, even if you talk about peace, I'm afraid the Tang army will open your mouth. In the end, Emperor Qi Ming chose to support the military's decision and sent 500,000 troops to Shikoku Island to defend.

……

And Li Tai of Kyushu Island didn't care so much. Each time a city is attacked, it is first bombarded by red-coated artillery. Then there was the bloody massacre by the Army.

There was no city that could hold on for a day. In just ten days, it occupied most of Jiuzhou Island.

Of course, there are also some city commanders who know that they can't compete with the Tang army. When the Tang army approached the city, they chose to surrender in Kaesong.

And countless treasures were offered, and even the beauties of the Japanese country were also presented to the Tang army as tribute, hoping to avoid being slaughtered by the Tang army.

"It's really a shameful nation, no wonder the emperor wants to kill them all." When she saw the Japanese guards presenting beauties to the Tang Army, Fan Lihua said angrily.

Originally, Fan Lihua still felt that Li Tai's approach was too cruel, but since landing on Kyushu Island. Fan Lihua saw the meanness of the Japanese people.

They do not hesitate to sacrifice their loved ones in order to live for themselves. In order for himself to live, he used women as bargaining chips in war.

So at this time, Fan Lihua also began to despise the Japanese people. At the same time, he slowly began to approve of Li Tai's approach.

Even if the Japanese chose to surrender, Fan Lihua would not accept them. resolutely carried out Li Tai's order, that is, there was no piece of armor left where he passed.

It took just over a month for the entire island of Kyushu to be completely occupied by the Tang army. After slaughtering the soldiers and civilians on Kyushu Island, Li Tai ordered the entire Kyushu Island to be set on fire.

The fire caused a volcanic eruption, and for a time the entire island of Kyushu became a sea of fire. Not to mention the people of the Wa Kingdom, even the rats in the ground did not escape this disaster.

Looking at the scorched island of Kyushu, Li Tai did not have the slightest pity in his heart. On the contrary, I feel that this is what the Japanese country should bear.

After the capture of Kyushu Island, Li Tai began to attack Shikoku Island. At this time, Shikoku Island had already hoarded 500,000 Japanese troops.

They are ready to use their flesh and blood to defend the territory of their country. However, they also knew that the Tang Army's red-coated cannon was amazingly powerful.

Therefore, Ozawa Imaku, the general of the Japanese state, did not choose to fortify the harbor. Instead, all the people near the harbor were evacuated inland.

and laid an ambush of heavy troops fifteen miles outside the harbor, preparing to give the Tang army a fatal blow when the Tang army relaxed its vigilance after landing.

Of course, Li Tai didn't know that the Wa Kingdom had already deployed heavy troops on Shikoku Island. The original way was still used to attack with artillery first, and then to carry out landing operations.

However, to Li Tai's surprise, the entire harbor of Shikoku Island was empty. So the landing of the Don army was not hindered in the slightest.

After completing the landing, Cheng Tieniu laughed and said to Li Tai: "Your Majesty, it seems that this little devil of the Japanese Kingdom is frightened. When he heard that our army was coming, he was so frightened that he fled with his tail between his legs. ”

"It's their wisdom to run for at least two more days. Otherwise, it's all barbecue. Yu Chi Baolin said with a laugh.

"Your Majesty, our army has been like a bamboo all the way. Although the Japanese state did not have the power to fight back at all, it also made no one in the eyes of the beginning of the military mutiny. ”

"If this continues, I'm afraid our army will suffer in this regard. Because they have forgotten the emperor's explanation, that is, they cannot underestimate the enemy under any circumstances. Xu Liang opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"The military advisor is right, these four islands are already the last barrier of Honshu Island. I believe that Emperor Qi Ming of the Wa Kingdom will not ignore it. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the Wa Kingdom will have a heavy garrison on Shikoku Island. Therefore, Marshal Fan must be more careful in this battle. Li Tai nodded and said to Fan Lihua.

"Please rest assured, the emperor knows the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Therefore, in this battle of Shikoku Island, Ben Shuai will definitely be cautious. Fan Lihua said to Li Tai.

"Then ask Marshal Fan to dispatch troops and start an offensive against Shikoku Island." Li Tai nodded and said to Fan Lihua.

After Fan Lihua snorted, she began to dispatch troops, and first ordered Xue Dingshan to lead the vanguard army to open the way for the three armies, in case the Japanese army set up an ambush.

Later, he ordered the other generals to take their headquarters and start a search for Shikoku Island in a fan shape. The strategic approach remains that there is no grass where it passes.

……

Just when Xue Dingshan led the vanguard army to a distance of fifteen miles from the harbor, he found that the mountain ahead was steep.

Xue Dingshan ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and called Xue Xiantu and Zhou Qing over. opened his mouth and said to the two: "Two uncles, the mountains here are dangerous, and I am afraid that there are ambushes hidden here. ”

The two uncles each led a detachment of men and horses to sneak up the mountain from both sides. If you find that there is an ambush in the mountains, you will immediately withdraw it. Let's use the red-coated cannon to let them know first, what is called no way to heaven and no door to the earth. ”

After Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu spoke, they led the people of the headquarters to the mountains on both sides.

But at the same time, their every move has also been clearly seen by the Wa State Tanma.

So at the same time that Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu were leading people into the mountain, Ozawa Ikong had already received the news.

"The herald ordered the three armies to hide on the spot, and they must not startle the snakes. It's just a scout who has come to check it out. ”

"As long as we deceive them, the Don army will enter our encirclement. When the time comes, we will be condescending, and no matter how well-armed they are, it will not help. Ozawa said.
