Chapter 1118. Does the Emperor still have a way to survive?
Consider the time of ten breaths.
Ten breaths only lasts so long. It passes quickly!
Then the emperor's choice will affect the future of Japan.
Emperor Shumei looked at Soga Ezo.
I hope Soga Ezo can make the decision on his behalf. Because he fainted, this kind of thing has never happened to him before, and his head turned into paste.
The emperor at this time was a useless person.
He was controlled by the Soga family, making him a puppet. He was used to listening to Soga in front of major events! This is a dangerous sign! The people also saw it, what kind of ruler is this? Why?
He is the royal family? Why should I listen to these people? People are about to wake up.
At this time, Li Min didn't give them much time.
He began to count down.
The counting speed was very slow, but it brought a sense of oppression in the other person's heart! It felt like Li Min's whole world was about to collapse after he finished counting!
"nineteen……"
This is completely a unilateral suppression.
They could all hear what Li Min said, but there was no trace of what the other party said. Li Min could understand everything they did.
However, the other party can respond in other ways. If it really surrenders, it can directly raise the white flag.
This is a common method of surrender throughout the ages.
At this time, Shanbei Brother King suddenly shouted with all his strength: "How can we surrender to Japan? They only have ten ships, are you afraid of this? Kill them all! Shoot them with arrows and beat them into sieves!"
Obviously, he was angry.
However, no one listened to him.
Everyone looked at Soga Ezo.
Hope he can make a decision.
"five……"
It’s been five breaths.
If he doesn't decide, Li Min will attack.
"Trebuchet attack!"
Soga Ezo suddenly shouted.
Trebuchets and catapults are different entities.
The trebuchet is larger and has stronger attack power.
Specifically used to deal with difficult-to-attack cities.
The principle of the trebuchet is simple.
There is a fixed horizontal axis between the two pillars of the frame, with a lever perpendicular to the axis, which can rotate freely around the axis.
A heavy object is fixed on the short arm of the lever, and there is a magazine bag at the end of the long arm for loading ammunition.
When launching, use a winch to pull the long arm back almost horizontally, then suddenly release it, and the stone bag will rise quickly.
When the short-arm weight is completely dropped, the projectile flies out from the bag at an angle of about 45 degrees. The range of a 30-kg stone projectile is about 210 meters, and the range of a 100-kg stone projectile is about 70 meters.
There are some improved trebuchets that can reach 100 kilograms and 500 meters in terms of weight and range.
He gave an order, and a large number of stones attacked the ten warships.
At this time, all the soldiers of Datang were inside the battleship.
Therefore, when the rocks are thrown out of the ship, no one can be hurt at all.
But they are still heavy objects, and these things have some impact on the appearance of the battleship.
The outer skin of one battleship was directly dented.
But the main body was not affected in any way.
Soga Ezo was overjoyed.
"Hit, hit hard! Let them know what pain is!"
"Hurry up!"
Soga Ezo shouted again.
But at this time, the trebuchet did not launch stones.
Why?
Because this thing is no better than ordinary weapons, it is very troublesome to load. Although its attack power is very strong, its speed is very slow.
At the same time, Li Min became angry.
He gave an ultimatum.
"People around the Imperial Palace, this is the last chance I give you. Leave, or die! It's your choice!"
Then, the last number was counted.
Some people had already begun to walk around and left the vicinity of the Emperor.
After all, seeing the battleship being attacked like this, nothing happened.
It was simply stronger than the city wall.
So, if they really launch an attack, how many people will be alive?
Furthermore, coupled with the emperor's attitude towards the people, everyone was discouraged.
What we can see now is not the old, weak, sick or disabled.
It's mainly women.
How many women were newly married before their husbands were pulled out of the army and sent to fight in a war without just cause.
Now people are knocking on the door.
There is no need for them to sacrifice themselves.
Seeing these people leaving, Emperor Shuming didn't feel the slightest bit.
Soga Ezo, on the other hand, went crazy.
He ordered.
"Hurry up, keep fighting!"
But at this moment, several cannons turned towards them.
It made them a little puzzled.
What is this?
How do these long tubes exist?
Don't wait for them to react.
Li Min said again: "Since the Emperor has decided to fight, then let's fight. I hope that you can become like a man in a while!"
"Kill them!"
Emperor Shumei found out that Soga Ezo's plan had worked.
So, he followed Soga Ezo's advice and killed all Li Min's people.
But Li Min didn't hear his words at all.
It looks like the trebuchet is about to start again.
He ordered.
"Get ready to knock off the trebuchet!"
Then, a large number of cannons turned around.
They aimed at the trebuchets on the shore.
Meanwhile, the trebuchet has been loaded.
But he heard Li Min give an order.
"Set off the fire!"
Boom boom boom!
A large number of shells were fired.
They hit dozens of trebuchets.
These big guys disappeared in an instant.
Some soldiers standing next to the trebuchet were blown to pieces.
Facing Li Min's cannon.
All the Japanese were stunned.
The common people began to feel happy that they had left the imperial palace.
Emperor Shumei looked at Soga Ezo and could not speak for a long time.
As for the elder brother Shanbei, he just stood there blankly, not knowing what to say.
This is undoubtedly a god-like power.
Many people have already knelt down again.
"This is God's method! God sent them down to rescue us!"
"Kneel down quickly and pray for God's blessing!"
"The Japanese country has been saved and will no longer be ruled by the emperor!"
"Please God, please give our man back!"
…
The wishes of these common people are all kinds of strange.
But Li Min didn't listen at all.
Because the cannon is very loud.
I couldn't hear what they were saying at all.
"Soga Ezo, what should I do?" Emperor Shumei became anxious.
he asked.
How does Soga Ezo know what to do!
"There is only one way out!" Soga Ezo said still refusing to give up.
"But how to fight? Their round pipes are so powerful, can we fight them??"
Emperor Shuming said so.
He is considered a sober person.
I know that Li Min is invincible now.
"If you hit, you will die. If you don't fight, you will die. It is better to die happily! This is the spirit of Bushido!"
Soga Ezo said so.
Emperor Shuming could only nod in agreement.
But at this time, he can't stay here anymore.
After all, if that cannon were really aimed at me, would I still have a way to survive?
