As an important military town of the Wa Kingdom, the Frost City was relatively strong, but the city-building technology of the Wa Kingdom was learned from Baekje, and Baekje was learned from the Tang Dynasty, and in the process of learning, it was inevitable that some skills were missing, so the Frost City was not too strong a city in the eyes of the Tang people.

After Su Irilu left Frost City with the elite, the city was led by his deputy Jushi Dedo. When they saw the Tang fleet surging from the open sea, almost the entire sea was covered, the city was all stupid, from the giant force to the ordinary soldiers, no one thought that Su I had just withdrawn from the deer, and the Tang army would come to attack the city, and looking at the size of the fleet, it was obvious that this was the main force of the Tang army.

"The whole army obeys the order, holds the city, and if there is a coward who avoids the enemy, behead!" Jushi Deduo is a close confidant of Su I into the deer, seeing the warship on the sea, he immediately made the most correct judgment, now they can't escape, the only hope is to repel the attack of the Tang army, and then send someone to ask General Su I for help, hoping to hold on to the moment when they return to help.

The frost city is built on the back of the mountain and facing the sea, and this wall near the sea is only two hundred steps away from the coast, although it is outside the range of the bow and arrow, but it is within the range of the trebuchet and the bed crossbow, but the level of the Japanese people to make weapons is very low, and they can't make bed crossbows at all, so there are trebuchets placed on the city wall, ready to deal a heavy blow to the landed Tang army at any time.

However, to Jushi Dedo's surprise, after the Tang army's warships came to the outside of the city, they stopped on the sea, and then divided a small fleet of ten warships and took the lead to stop nearly a mile away from Frost City.

Jushidedo squinted his eyes to see what the ten ships were going to do. But because the distance is really a bit far, he doesn't have a telescope made by Datang. So I couldn't see it clearly, but I could vaguely see the soldiers on the warship as if some small carts had been pushed out of the cabin. Line up on the deck facing them, and get busy.

See the action on the boat. Jushi Deduo guessed that the small cars that were launched might be Datang's new weapons, but he waited for a meal, and the other party's ship was still busy, and he couldn't tell what kind of weapons were being prepared? This made the generals of Jushi Deduo even more worried, and they couldn't understand what these Tang people were going to do?

Among the warships on the sea, a huge warship is surrounded by the surrounding giant ships, this ship is Lu Qing's ship, and now it has become Su Dingfang's handsome ship, and now there are Su Dingfang and Lu Qing on board. Liu Renliang, Zhou Long, Li Shi and other major generals also gathered on this ship.

"General Liu, do your copper pipes really have that much power?" Su Dingfang held the side of the boat, and while looking at the Frost City in the distance, he asked Liu Renliang with some disbelieving.

Liu Renliang, who was tall and thin, stroked his long beard and said confidently: "General Su, rest assured, this artillery is the work of His Highness and the craftsmen of Perak Island, and its power can directly open mountains and crack stones, plus the buildings of Frost City in front of him are not too strong, as long as you concentrate on artillery bombardment, you will definitely be able to achieve extraordinary results!" ”

Hear Liu Renliang's confident words. Both Su Dingfang and Zhou Long showed expressions of disbelief, in fact, it is no wonder that Liu Renliang is different from other generals, he was originally a civilian official. He was pulled by Li Su to train the firearms battalion halfway, so in the eyes of Su Dingfang and other generals, this General Liu is undoubtedly an outlier.

In fact, it's not just Liu Renliang. The entire firearms battalion is undoubtedly an outlier in the eyes of other armies. The firearms battalion, from the general to the non-commissioned officer, usually wears special military uniforms. Divided into a jacket and trousers, he looks very smart, wears light armor in battle, mainly to guard against bows and arrows, and does not fight the enemy hand-to-hand unless absolutely necessary.

As for the weapons of the firearms battalion, the other soldiers were even more puzzled, and the people used pipes made of steel, and they were not easy to pick up, and each of them also carried a one-foot-long knife with a very short handle, which was really a little unsuitable if it was held in the hand to kill the enemy. There were even many soldiers who secretly complained that it was a pity, because the two main weapons of the firearms battalion were made of fine steel, and if these steels were forged into swords, they would definitely be extremely rare and good weapons.

If it's just the above, it's just that, but the key is that the firearms battalion is the darling in the eyes of His Royal Highness King Qi, not only the military salary is higher than that of other armies, but also the conditions of food, accommodation and other aspects are higher than those of the general army, and even the soldiers of the firearms battalion are in the barracks, they are all with a bullish expression, as if they are the strongest soldiers in the world. This made many soldiers quite suspicious of the firearms battalion, and even held their breath, wanting to see the jokes of the firearms battalion on the battlefield.

As the commander-in-chief, although Su Dingfang didn't want to see the jokes of the firearms battalion like other generals, he was also quite worried about the combat effectiveness of the firearms battalion, especially when he saw that the thing called artillery had to be prepared for so long, which made him feel even more uncertain.

After waiting for a while, the guns on the ten ships in front of him were finally fixed, the gunpowder and shells were also loaded, and Liu Renliang, who received the news, was also shocked and immediately ordered to start the first salvo.

Ten huge warships, each ship was fixed with ten cannons, and the gunners immediately began to ignite after receiving Liu Renliang's order, and then in the eyes of everyone, artillery, a cross-era weapon, finally let out its first roar in the official war!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A hundred artillery pieces continued to roar like thunder, and then a batch of black shells flew out, smashing into the Frost City with the momentum of ten thousand jun, but because it was the first round of test firing, most of the shells missed, but nearly a quarter of the shells hit the city wall, and as a result, the debris on the city wall was scattered, and each shell smashed a large hole. There were even a few shells that just hit the city, and as a result, a few soldiers of the Japanese kingdom who had fallen for eight lifetimes were beaten into minced meat at once, and the whole city was like a few blood flowers, and the frightened Jushi Deduo and others all sat on the ground.

Su Dingfang and the Tang generals on the handsome ship were also startled by the roar of the artillery, and when they saw the damage caused by the artillery to the enemy, they were all dumbfounded, they didn't expect that this thing called artillery could hit so far, and the roar was like thunder, it was like thunder on a sunny day.

Liu Renliang had long been surprised by this situation, and ordered the gunners on the warships in front to fire freely, and the targets were all focused on the vicinity of the gate of Frost City, and the gate of the other party must be blasted open.

After receiving Liu Renliang's order, the artillery on the ten warships fired a salvo in turn, and after three rounds of test firing, they finally found a good angle, and the shells fired were also accurate.

A hundred guns bombarded with all their might, although the ships rose and fell, which had an impact on the accuracy of the shells, but in such a dense artillery bombardment, there were always a few shells that hit the gates of Frostfall City, and the gates made of heavy solid wood were quickly smashed to pieces under the bombardment of cannonballs, like paper. In addition, Su Dingfang and their sudden attack this time, the Japanese army in the city did not come to block the city gate, so the gate of the entire Frost City has been completely opened to the Tang army.

After shooting the gate of Frost City, Liu Renliang ordered the ship's artillery to turn its muzzle and began to concentrate its fire on the head of the city, mainly the catapults on it, although this weapon is very primitive and backward, but it can bring great casualties to the landing Tang army. In fact, this is Liu Renliang is too careful, the Japanese people at the head of the city have long been bombarded by this artillery, and the military spirit that had been sloppy because of the retreat of Su I into the deer finally collapsed, and everyone only cared about holding their heads and running around, even if the Tang army entered the city, they had no heart to resist.

Su Dingfang, who had been observing the results of the artillery battle through the telescope, was shocked, but finally relieved himself, and shouted and ordered the heralds on the ship to wave flags to the ships, and ordered the first batch of troops to land immediately and capture the city gate as quickly as possible. At the same time, Su Dingfang's gaze at Liu Renliang also had a bit of appreciation, and as for other generals such as Li Shi and Xu De, their attitude towards Liu Renliang also became extremely enthusiastic, and they all stepped forward to ask about the principle of artillery.

Receiving Su Dingfang's order, Zhou Long personally led a force carrying 5,000 grassland people to approach the coast, and then began to land in a small boat, and the Japanese people on the city had already been beaten by artillery and fled for their lives, so the whole landing process was very smooth, and when the 5,000 troops rushed to the gate of the Frost City, they encountered the first resistance force, but unfortunately after a few rounds of bows and arrows of the grassland people, the other party was not many people, and then these grassland people rushed up with scimitars, and soon slaughtered the resisting Japanese people, The city gates were initially occupied.

Seeing that the battle was so smooth, Su Dingfang finally decided to land on a large scale, one by one the troop carriers lowered their boats, carried the soldiers to the coast, and then went ashore on the water, and quickly assembled a formation, and every time a thousand people were assembled, they would immediately be led by the generals to rush into the gate of Frost City. The Japanese people in the city have long lost their fighting spirit, so in the face of these wolf-like Tang army, there is no way to organize an effective resistance, only some stubborn Japanese generals with their own soldiers, taking advantage of the geographical advantages in the city to resist, but unfortunately in the face of absolute strength, they have no capital to resist at all.

The rebellious Japanese soldiers were killed one after another, and most of the remaining Japanese people lost their fighting spirit, and soon the first surrenderer appeared, and then more and more Japanese people laid down their arms, and Jushi Dedo was injured in the arm by a cannonball when he was at the head of the city, seeing this situation in the city, he knew that he was no longer able to return to the sky, so he had to flee from another city gate with his cronies, and when Su Dingfang and other generals landed, the entire Frost City had completely fallen into the hands of the Tang army.
