Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 592 Stick to Huating County

Because Huating County is an important port of the Sui Dynasty, and, after these years of development, it has become an important economic center of the Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, although Huating County is only a county in terms of administrative units, it is not as important as Huating County in an ordinary county.

In Huating County, tens of thousands of troops are stationed.However, now these troops were sent by Li Mu to encircle and suppress the pirates.

The trading place that the pirates and those merchants decided was the outer sea, which was not close to Huating County.

If something happened in Huating County, there was no way to tell it to the outside world.

When Qin Qiong and others led the army to clear the pirates and came back, it was not impossible to go back and forth for two or three days at the fastest, five or ten days at the slowest.

However, at this time, Fusang raised 10,000+ troops from all over the country to attack. The timing was perfect!
All of this is Pei Yun's plan!
Pei Yun knew that they were now the last strength of the powerful family.And they lay dormant and had nothing to do, once they were unable to defeat Li Mu after making a move, they would all have to be exposed.

Therefore, whether he succeeds or not, he only has one chance to make a move.

Pei Yun carefully planned for today!

Now, all the troops in Huating County have been transferred away, so let's see how Li Mu can turn the situation around.

If there are tens of thousands of troops in Huating County, then the 10,000+ Fusang army may not be able to capture Huating County.

However, now that Huating County is full of thousands of defenders, even if Li Mu is very powerful, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

The reason why Fusang dared to attack Huating County was completely fooled by Pei Yun.

Before Pei Yun contacted the pirates, he had secretly contacted the senior officials of the Fusang Kingdom.He used money to bribe these high-ranking officials of Fusang Kingdom, and persuaded the current King of Fusang.

Fusang has always been greedy, like a hyena, whenever he sees an opportunity, he wants to bite off a piece of Da Sui's flesh.

Pei Yun told King Fusang that the aristocratic family still had a lot of power hidden inside the Sui Dynasty.Once Fusang was able to capture Huating County and kill Li Mu, they would also revolt within the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, once Li Mu died, Da Sui would lose his backbone.At that time, the aristocratic family is instigating the internal riots of the Sui Dynasty, so the Sui Dynasty will be internal and external troubles.

To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down inside. When the Sui Dynasty was caught in internal and external troubles, then there would be no time to take care of Fusang.

At that time, Fusang will occupy Huating County, and they can take the opportunity to take the surrounding area of ​​Huating County, which means they will occupy a large area.

Most importantly, Huating County was an important economic center of the Sui Dynasty and a major shipping center.After occupying Huating County, it is equivalent to getting a chicken that can lay golden eggs.

It was because of these considerations that Fusang agreed to Pei Yun's request to send troops to Huating County.

In fact, Pei Yun was just fooling the Fusang people.The aristocratic family had already been handed over by Li Muqing long ago. They were in the Sui Dynasty, so they didn't have any influence.

Pei Yun's heavy words are pure nonsense.

Pei Yun's purpose was to fool Fusang into sending troops to capture Huating County, kill Li Mu, and fulfill Yu Wenhuaji's last wish.

From Pei Yun's point of view, Yu Wenhua and Tuo Gu at the end of his death were kindness to him.No matter what, I have to fulfill his last wish, even if I die.

The surrounding countries of the Great Sui had been almost wiped out by Li Mu, and there was nothing that could resist the Great Sui.

This time, if he wants to kill Li Mu, whether he succeeds or not, this is Pei Yun's last hope!
Huating County.

Li Mu's mansion.

"Report to the general, Fusang's 15 troops are approaching our Huating County."

"At this time, the Fusang fleet is less than twenty miles away from the port!"

The scouts rushed all the way to Li Mu and reported in a hurry.

"Sure enough, there is a backhand!"

Li Mu was looking at the sand table in the study at this time, and said in a deep voice.

Li Mu had been guessing for a long time that the backhand of that person in the dark might not be a pirate. Sure enough, after the first move, the second move came again, which was to hit Li Mu with a combined punch!
Li Mu looked up at the scouts, and ordered: "Investigate again, report again!"

With a distance of twenty miles, according to the speed of the boat behind Fusang, Li Mu still had at least two hours to prepare from when the Fusang people arrived at the port to when they went ashore.

The time arrangement of two hours is enough to hold on until the arrival of support.It is true that Li Mu only has a few thousand soldiers in his hands, but Li Mu has the confidence to defend Huating County.

Because times have changed.

Today's era is no longer the era of cold weapons a few years ago.

If the artillery can be installed on the sailing battleship, it can be installed on the city wall.

Today, there are still many artillery pieces in the armory in Huating County.Pulling these artillery to the city wall is a sharp weapon for defense.

Originally, these artillery pieces were meant to be installed on the ship.Li Mu is also building a sailing battleship while casting artillery.

However, this artillery is easy to build, but sailing battleships are difficult to build!

Therefore, the sailing battleship is built faster than the artillery, so there is a surplus of artillery.

"Fusang, a tiny country, how dare you attack me, Da Sui?"

"Who is this person behind the scenes?"

Li Mu muttered while looking at the sand table.

Li Mu was very curious about who was behind the scenes, but he couldn't think of who it was.

Li Mu never expected that Pei Yun was behind the scenes, because in Li Mu's eyes, Pei Yun was already a dead person.

This is, a wise man will make a mistake if he thinks about it.

When the powerful family was wiped out, Li Mu didn't know that there were still fish that slipped through the net, so this is the reason for today's troubles.

However, in Li Mu's view, this kind of numbness is nothing more than a small trouble.

It is not difficult to defend Huating County, but as long as he defends Huating County for a few days, Qin Qiong will lead the army to help, and the surrounding prefectures and counties will also send people to help.

"No matter who you are, let me see how you can escape when you are defeated!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.

Since you can't guess who the person behind the scenes is, then you can fight, and at the end of the fight, this person will naturally show up.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mu called the messenger, and said: "Send the order, Fusang is coming, order the factories outside the city, and all the people in the port will enter the city within two hours."

"In addition, transport all the artillery in the armory to the city wall!"

Li Mu's order was conveyed, and there were not a few people in the ports and factories outside the city.

You know, these soldiers of Fusang Kingdom are no less fearful than pirates.Once the attack does not go well, they are likely to vent their anger on the people.

Even, it is very possible to plunder the people before attacking the city.

With the lessons learned from the pirates coming ashore to plunder, Li Mu had to take precautions in advance.

There are still about two hours before the Fusang army arrives. It is definitely not possible to evacuate supplies in these two hours, but it is not a big problem to evacuate the people.

As for the factory, the port, and the materials inside, I don't care about so much now.

The most important thing is to keep the people first. As for the assets outside the city, if they are lost, they can find a way to earn them back.

Speaking of them, as long as Fusang is defeated in the end, they will not be able to take these things away, so there is no need to worry.

Outside Huating County.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

"The Fusang army is attacking, and the general has an order. Within two hours, everyone must evacuate to the city!"

"Fusang is attacking. I will issue the general's order. Within two hours, everyone will retreat to the city!"

"Everyone evacuates to the city!"

The messengers rode fast horses, beat gongs in their hands, and kept shouting among the major factories, announcing Li Mu's orders.

After two hours, the city gates of Huating County were closed, no one was allowed to go out, no one was allowed to enter.

Therefore, no matter if it was a port or a factory, everyone put down their work and started rushing to the city.

After all, making money is more important than life.

"Go to the city quickly, time waits for no one!"

"Just bring money and simple clothes, life is more important than anything else!"

"Go! Go!"

Even these merchants are urging their workers to rush to the city.

This is not to say that these merchants have a conscience, but that Li Mu has set strict rules for setting up factories in Huating County.

As long as a worker has an accident in the factory, the merchant in charge of the factory must compensate for work-related injuries and work-related deaths.This amount of money is no longer small.

In the eyes of these merchants, there was nothing to be afraid of when the Fusang army came, because they designated that they would not be able to defeat the general.

As long as they can't beat the general, they can't take these things with them.However, if the workers in the factory died at the hands of the Fusang people, they would have to pay a large sum of compensation.

These people's impressions of the Fusang people are limited to the words dwarfs and pirates.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Fusang people are probably pirates.

With the lessons learned from the last time the pirates came ashore to burn, kill and loot, these common people dare not make fun of their own lives.

After learning that the Fusang people had attacked, they rushed to the city in a hurry.

The common people entered the city in a hurry, at this time, the city wall was also busy.

A door of artillery was transported to the city wall and fixed at the crenellation of the city wall.

An hour and a half later, the people had all entered the city one after another, and Li Mu's defensive weapon, more than 300 cannons, were all fixed on the city wall.

There are more than 300 cannons, and all the cannons are fired. Even if these Fusang people have three heads and six arms, it is difficult to survive.

These Fusang people didn't know how to live or die, and came to attack Huating County, so I appointed them to let them come and go.

At this time, on the entire Huating County city wall, although the Sui army only had a few thousand defenders, they were waiting in full force without the slightest fear.

In the blink of an eye, two hours arrived.

At this time, the 15 Fusang army had already landed, and a dense group of dwarfs came to kill Huating County.

Li Mu said that Fusang people are dwarfs, not insulting Fusang people, this is telling the truth.

In this era, Fusang was very poor. The vast majority of Fusang people were malnourished, and their average height was only 1.5 meters.

Although they are not tall, there are a lot of people. There are 10,000+ dwarfs with an average height of about 1.5 meters, and they are heading towards Huating County.

If this was in Andersen's fairy tale, this would be the proper attack of the Dwarf Kingdom.

As the saying goes, once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

What's more, there are a total of 15 Fusang troops under the city of Huating County. The [-] Fusang troops are arrayed below the city, but they are also crowded with people.

However, due to the short stature of Fusang people, it seems that the city wall of Huating County is very high.

"Ha ha!"

"Just this little thing came to attack our city. If we really fight, if I don't bow my head, I'm afraid I'll trample a few to death!" In front of Li Mu, Luo Shixin scratched his head and laughed.

Luo Shixin said that Fusang people are small things, and that is indeed justified.Luo Shixin is two meters tall, with big arms and round waist. Looking at these Fusang people, they are not small things.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom, boom."

"Boom."

Under the city, after the three-way drum sounded, the Fusang army directly launched an attack. An army of 10,000+ carried ladders and began to rush towards the city wall of Huating County.

Fusang is also a Japanese player who lived a good life in later generations. Their large-scale learning of Chinese culture began in the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

It's still the Sui Dynasty, and they haven't learned Chinese culture yet.Therefore, the civilization of Fusang is very low-level now.

Take the siege as an example, the only siege weapon of the Fusang people is the ladder, and there is nothing but the ladder.

Even the manufacturing process of these ladders used for siege can only be described in four words, which is a mess.

The dense Fusang army launched an attack towards Huating County. At this time, the watchmen on the city wall began to report the distance.

a thousand steps.

Five hundred steps.

Three hundred steps.

The optimal range of the Sui army's artillery was [-] paces, but when the Fusang army was [-] paces away, Li Mu did not issue an order to fire.

Even when the Fusang army was [-] paces away, Li Mu still did not give the order to fire.

The lookout continued to report the distance.

One hundred steps.

When the distance of one hundred steps was reported, Li Mu's complexion changed, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Artillery equipment!"

"Adjust the muzzle!"

"Reload!"

"Covered launch!"

Following Li Mu's orders one after another, the artillerymen of the Sui army began to work intensively.

Since Li Mu gave the order to cover the design, there is actually no need to aim too much.

Aim the muzzle at the city wall and walk a hundred steps away, and then just start plowing the ground.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will strike with precision, and if you are rich, you will have full coverage.

Da Sui is not short of money, just cover it with direct firepower and it's over.

From the perspective of the observer, the Fusang people are all very small, and the small targets are small. If it is a precise strike, it is really difficult for the artillery of the Sui army.

The artillery brothers on the city wall, after they adjusted the muzzle of the artillery, they began to load and ignite the fuse.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom, boom."

"boom."

On the city wall, there are more than 300 artillery pieces, all of which are heavy artillery pieces mounted on ships.

Those cannonballs were the size of a human head, and in an instant, more than 300 cannonballs were shot out.

The overwhelming shells, like a rain of shells, smashed towards the Fusang army.

The charge formation of these Fusang soldiers was very dense, and in an instant, it was like harvesting wheat, harvesting these Fusang soldiers one crop after another.

Facing artillery, these Fusang soldiers were not much stronger than primitive people.
