In the pitch-black night, more than 200,000 men and horses crowded under the city. Arrows and stone bullets poured down like a storm, and there were even more terrifying artillery strikes.
The sound of explosions and the shouts of men and horses overwhelmed the sound of horns. The command of the Japanese pirates and the Korean army was completely paralyzed, and everyone was running around like headless flies.
This turned into a large disaster scene.
The enemy troops trampled on each other, and their weapons mercilessly hit our own people, causing heavy casualties.
It was not until dawn that the chaos ended and the deafening noise finally subsided.
Everyone who could run ran away, and the rest were dead.
In the morning light, Zhang Yi looked down at the city. There were corpses everywhere, and at least 50,000 to 60,000 enemy soldiers were dead.
"Ah, I can't even lift my arms." Xiao Liu yelled.
"Sister-in-law, you broke three bows. Can your arm not hurt?" Xiao Han said.
"I shot a thousand arrows, right?" Xiaoliu said proudly.
"There are five hundred arrows, that's amazing, Liu'er!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
Everyone was shooting arrows desperately, no one was counting. Zhang Yi estimated that he had shot 800 arrows. Xiao Liu was slower than him, so he must have shot 500 arrows.
The professional crossbowmen are much more powerful, with more than a thousand arrows per person. The person with the most arrows is Tian Xingye. He shouted the number while shooting, and finally called 1516!
This heroic young man was brought to Zhang Yi by Shi Gandang.
"Brother Yi, do you recognize Tian Xingye, our archery master from Mopan City? He shot 1516 arrows!" Shi Gandang said excitedly.
"Hahaha, of course I recognize it," Zhang Yi laughed, patted Tian Xingye on the shoulder and praised, "Tian Xingye, your record is probably unsurpassed by anyone. I think you should be the number one archer in China.
!”
"Thank you, Brother Yi, for the reward. Thank you, Brother Yi!" Tian Xingye said with great excitement.
Everyone laughed, Yi Ge just praised him, but Tian Xingye took it as a reward.
"That's right, Tian Xingye is the best archer in China, and this title will be awarded to you." Xiaoliu said the wrong thing.
Tian Xingye thanked him excitedly. He had practiced archery for many years and finally stood out in this battle and won the awards from his sworn brother and the princess. It was a great honor!
Everyone congratulated Tian Xingye one after another. No one was unconvinced. No one could be proficient in all the eighteen martial arts. Even Xiao Han and Shi Gandang could not break this archery record. They were indeed the first in China.
After that, Tian Xingye received attention and Zhang Yi promoted him all the way, and he became one of the chief generals of the Mopan City Iron Army.
Zhang Yi picked up a telescope and observed. The Japanese pirates had fled far away, and almost no one could be seen. They were all frightened.
He mobilized Niu Ben and led the wolf cavalry out of the city to guard the city. At the same time, he recruited the people in the city, collected weapons, armor, arrows, etc., and dug pits to bury the corpses.
More than 10,000 people who participated in this battle were commended and awarded.
As for Vice Premier Sun, Sun Ziqiang was escorted to the headquarters for trial.
…
In an office, Zhang Yi, Xiao Liu, Xiao Han, Chen Yiyi and Fu Xiang were sitting behind a long table, while Sun Ziqiang was slumped on the floor.
"Sun Ziqiang!" shouted Chen Yiyi, "tell me your crimes honestly and tell the story of how you took refuge with the Japanese pirates and acted as a traitor!"
"Speak carefully, Sun Tzu Qiang, otherwise you will be severely punished!" Xiao Liu sneered.
Sun Tzu stiffened his neck, raised his head and stared at several people, his whole person in a state of despair and numbness.
Once upon a time, he was high up, a member of the Greater China leadership team, and equal to Zhang Yi. A frontline general like Chen Yiyi had to salute when talking to him, otherwise he would be killed half to death.
Now, he has become a prisoner.
It's so miserable.
"I protest!" Sun Ziqiang suddenly shouted, "As the leader of Greater China, even if I am guilty, it is not your turn to interrogate me. What's more, I am not guilty! I was forced by the Japanese pirates and could not help myself.
,excusable!"
Snap!
Zhang Yi slapped the table angrily, causing the water glass to fly up.
"Sun Ziqiang, don't resist or talk nonsense." Zhang Yi stared at this guy and gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you say that you are not guilty? You are stubborn and do not follow our suggestions, which has caused the Chinese soldiers to be attacked by Japanese pirates.
The losses are heavy. You are extremely shameless, acting as a lackey of the Japanese pirates, trying to trick us into opening the gates of Liujing City. The facts are in front of us, and you cannot quibble!"
Seeing Zhang Yi being so angry, Xiao Liu hurriedly advised him.
"Brother, don't be angry. It's not worth being angry with this kind of person. In my opinion, cut off his two legs first and see if he can talk properly!"
Xiao Hanteng stood up, drew out his rapier, and walked towards Sun Ziqiang.
"Oh my God, spare my life!" Sun Tzu Qiang screamed, "Don't kill me, I said, I will say whatever you ask me! Please exercise restraint and don't be impulsive. I beg you, send me back to Greater China.
From our leaders..."
"Shut up, Sun Ziqiang," Chen Yiyi shouted, "it is ultimately up to Chairman Zhang to decide how to punish you. It depends on your attitude and performance. As the top military commander, Chairman Zhang needs to understand the situation of the Greater China Army.
You must cooperate honestly. What is the situation with Commander Dulin and others? Where are our troops? Tell us quickly!"
Sun Tzu Qiang sighed, he was the best at teasing people, but he didn't expect that he would be the one being bullied. Now his life was in someone else's hands. If he didn't cooperate, his blood would probably be splattered three feet away.
At the moment, he can only cooperate well. The only hope is for Zhang Yi to raise his hand and send him back to Greater China to face trial. In that case, there may be a glimmer of hope.
"Okay, I said, I will cooperate and I will tell you the truth."
Sun Tzu Qiang was completely exhausted and began to describe the situation.
The thing is, he neither wanted to help Zhang Yi attack Liu Jing, nor did he want to return without success and miss the opportunity to occupy the Korean Peninsula, so he chose to wait and see.
When he received a letter from Chen Yiyi, he was extremely surprised. He did not expect that Zhang Yi captured Liujing at lightning speed and mastered a large amount of supplies.
At this time, he decided to lead his army to Liujing. He was not stupid. He knew that the Japanese pirates who were driven out of the city posed a huge threat to the army of Greater China. It was safest to hide in the city. What's more, he wanted to fight with Zhang Yi
Divide the spoils equally.
However, he was controlled by jealousy and hatred and wasted a whole day of precious time by cursing and cursing. Then, something terrible happened.
Japanese pirates are swarming from the south, north and east, cutting off all retreat routes for Greater China, and with the sea behind them, it’s so hopeless!
The Chinese army fought back and repelled the enemy's attacks time and time again, but the disparity in strength resulted in heavy casualties.
At this time, the army was divided into two groups. Commander Du Lin advocated attacking Liujing, while Vice Premier Sun advocated retreating back to Andong.
In the end, Vice Premier Sun's opinion prevailed, and the entire army concentrated its forces to launch a breakout battle in the middle of the night...
