Chapter 1832 What does it mean? Empty City Strategy

"There's an ambush, be careful!"

"There are their archers in the trench!"

"These hateful guys are hiding in the ditch to trick us. I want to kill them!"

"idiot!"

No one among the Japanese soldiers would have thought that the other side would be so ungrateful to martial ethics.

I have never heard of so many archers hiding in this horse pit.

Locust-like arrows flew towards them, and the already defenseless Japanese soldiers had no time to dodge.

After a while, rows and rows of them fell on the road.

When the other Japanese soldiers saw this, they were also frightened and retreated one after another.

Yoshio Otsuka stood on the river bank and saw the scene in front of him, his teeth almost broke.

Yoshio Otsuka thought he was shameless, but he didn't expect that the person opposite him was even more shameless than him.

He actually used such despicable means to plot against himself!

"Baga, who told you to retreat? Please continue to charge forward." Otsuka Yoshio slashed to death a Japanese soldier who retreated.

Other soldiers in the Sky-Hunting Cannon unit also suffered heavy losses, and many of the Sky-Hunting Cannons were left behind on the battlefield.

"Shield soldiers, push forward for me to cover the attack of the Hongtian artillery troops." Otsuka Yoshio's strategic vision is not bad. He reacted almost instantly to let the shield soldiers block the archers on the opposite side and cover Hongtian. Artillery units attack enemy trenches.

As soon as Otsuka Yoshio finished speaking, nearly a thousand shield soldiers gathered.

The Sky Cannon troops huddled behind the shield soldiers and slowly moved forward.

Sure enough, with the shield soldiers, Datang's bows and arrows no longer posed any threat to them. Many Japanese soldiers also took the opportunity to pick up the sky-blasting cannons from other fallen soldiers.

"Military advisor, they are approaching!" Captain Archer quickly reported to Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji naturally saw Japanese soldiers approaching their trenches.

But he did not choose to let people retreat immediately. Instead, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, hide separately and don't get together."

The Tang soldiers in the trenches also dispersed quickly.

Long trenches connected in all directions, with another right-angle turn every few meters.

"Jijigi!" Under the cover of the shield soldiers, the Japanese cannon troops have arrived within the throwing range of the cannon.

The leader, Yamamoto, drew his sword and issued orders forward.

The Japanese soldiers lit the cannons one after another, and hundreds of cannons were thrown towards the trenches in front.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

Suddenly, continuous explosions sounded in the trenches not far outside Yangcheng.

The soil on the ground was thrown away.

Some were even mixed with the broken limbs and arms of Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Xu Shiji stayed in the trench and did not dare to have any ideas, but he discovered that not all the Japanese soldiers' cannons were abandoned in their trenches.

Some of the sky-blasting cannons landed on the soil above their heads, blowing up the soil more than three feet high and not hurting any of the soldiers at all.

And some of the sky-blasting cannons landed in the trench next to them, but they did not affect them.

It was completely different from when we were defending on the city tower, facing the sky-blasting cannon, soldiers died in piles.

This is His Highness's method.

It sure works!

Xu Shiji felt a little happy. Although they didn't have the sky-blasting cannon to fight back, they weren't helpless in the face of this thing.

After two rounds of sky-blasting cannons were thrown, the Datang trenches under Yamamoto Mianri Castle were almost completely blown up.

Naturally, I thought that all the Tang soldiers in the trenches had been killed.

So he asked the shield soldiers to withdraw to the side, preparing to lead the bombardment

The sky cannon unit performs a last-ditch attack.

This is their contribution and cannot be taken away by other teams.

"Come with me and kill them all!" Yamamoto raised his finger and pointed at the Tang trenches ahead.

The Japanese bombardment artillery troops all looked happy, drew their weapons, and prepared to attack the Tang soldiers in the trenches.

but……

"Soldiers, shoot your arrows!" Xu Shiji's voice suddenly sounded.

Then came the front row of trenches. Suddenly more than thirty people stood up, bent their bows and arrows, and fired a volley at the Japanese cannon force.

Dozens of people from the Sky-Hunting Cannon troop fell instantly.

Before they could recover, the first row of Tang Dynasty archers in the trench retracted, and the heads of the second row of archers popped up.

Another volley!

Dozens of Japanese soldiers fell again!

"idiot!"

"Why weren't they killed?"

"Defend quickly, defend quickly!"

"idiot!"

Yamamoto was almost taken away by an arrow from the Tang Dynasty archers, but fortunately a soldier stood in front of him.

At this moment, Yamamoto was so frightened that he forgot to move and just shouted loudly in front.

Fortunately, the shield soldier reacted and saved Yamamoto's life.

Not everyone is so lucky.

Nearly two hundred soldiers of the Japanese bombardment force died in this round of attacks.

"Our mission is accomplished, retreat!" Xu Shiji tilted his head and saw the Japanese soldiers in front of him were like frightened mice, with a smile on his face.

With a wave of his hand, all the surviving archers ducked and retreated from the trenches into the city.

"Baga, continue to blow them up for me, General!" Yamamoto was furious. At this moment, he just wanted to use the sky-blasting cannon to blow up the front again.

Can

After several rounds of bombing, when they got closer, they found that there was no one in the trench in front of them.

Only a few non-human bodies were left.

"Baga!" Yamamoto was so angry that he almost fainted.

After losing so many sky-blasting cannons and losing many people, there were less than a hundred corpses of soldiers in the trenches of the Tang army.

Otsuka Yoshio has thoughts of murder.

Just such a difficulty caused the loss of nearly half of the sky-blasting artillery troops under his command?

One-third of the sky-blasting cannon was also used?

If this happens again, will they still be able to fight this battle?

"Sir, these Tang people are so cunning. Their trenches are all connected, and there is a corner every five or six meters. The sky-blasting cannon can't kill many people at all, and they are all blocked by the soil." Yamamoto hurriedly talked to Da Tsuka Yoshio explained.

If he didn't say something to excuse himself, he might not survive today.

"I don't want to know this, I just want the results."

"I want this city. If you can't capture it, you don't have to come back to see me!" Otsuka Yoshio didn't care about anything else.

All he wants is the city in front of him!

If he captures Rangcheng, he will be able to attack the King of Silla. If he is lucky and captures Zhao Chen directly, Datang won't have anything to worry about.

But now, is he going to be blocked by a trench?

"Hai!" Yamamoto nodded quickly and continued to move forward with his troops.

Yoshio Otsuka also waved his hand, signaling other troops to follow.

Next, it should be a siege.

But when they arrived outside Yangcheng, they were surprised to find that there was no Tang Dynasty defender on the Yangcheng tower.

Moreover, the gate of Yangcheng was wide open, and there was no one there.

What's the meaning?

Empty city strategy?
