The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1788 Siege
"Strengthen patrols and defenses at night to prevent night attacks by the Tang army." Abebirov said.

"Yes!"

Because Tang Jun's navy fleet was discovered in the nearby waters, the entire Dazaifu was boiling. Of course, this boiling was not the high emotion to welcome Tang Jun, but panic.

Ordinary people have been hearing how powerful and prosperous Datang is across the sea, and how their country learned from others, but why did the army of Datang arrive at their doorstep in a blink of an eye?
Aren't they devout enough for Datang?Why did Datang beat them.

Ordinary people don't know that it is their emperor who is trying to kill himself, and he is going to provoke Datang on his own initiative.

There was a panic in the city. Originally, Dazaifu did not have many troops, but because of the Tang Army navy in the nearby waters, Abebirov ordered that all men in the city who could walk on the ground should be equipped with armor on board, take up weapons, and fight with the men in the city. The defenders deal with the coming Tang army together, so the whole Dazaifu is already in panic.

The common people were still in a dazed state, but Abebirov was already like an ant on a hot pot.

One night passed, and Tang Jun did not move at all.

Two nights passed, and Tang Jun still remained silent.

The third night passed, and Tang Jun still remained silent.

What the hell are they trying to do? !

Abebirov was walking around restlessly in the front hall of the mansion. Could it be that Tang Jun came here just for show, not to attack Dazaifu at all?

That's right, hasn't Asuka sent envoys to Chang'an?Could it be that Datang's navy had already met the envoy's fleet on the way, so they just strolled here to scare them instead of really attacking them.

Abebirov had already had countless thoughts in his mind, but he was not sure which one he thought, so he was still in a hurry.

For the past two or three days, Abebirov has not slept well. He always dreamed of the Tang army attacking Dazaifu in his sleep. When he woke up suddenly, he called people from outside to inquire, but he got a response that everything was fine.

It seems that Tang Jun will not attack them in a short time. Let's have a good rest tonight. After resting, even if Tang Jun really wants to attack them, there is no way for him to deal with it now, right?
At night, Abebirov took a comfortable bath, and then asked two women to accompany him into the room.

If you want to have a good sleep, you should work hard first, at least you will fall asleep faster, instead of thinking about something or not and continuing to be half-dreamed and half-awake.

Tang army navy warship.

"Is everything ready?" Liu Rengui asked.

"Go back to the general, it's ready." The lieutenant responded.

They waited for three days in the waters near Dazaifu. Today is the fourth night, and it is also the night to attack Dazaifu.

"Order, attack." Liu Rengui said.

"Yes!" The lieutenant general responded.

God is also giving face, in the dark sky, not to mention the moon, there are not many stars, so the night is dark, which can best cover the sailors and soldiers moving forward.

Originally, it was not very far from the coastline of Dazaifu, so the big ships of the fleet did not move, and the officers and soldiers directly set up the rafts. Just taking advantage of the ebb tide, they took their things and quietly groped outside the city, and then set up the siege equipment. .

Following the command of the former general, after the siege equipment was assembled, the attack began immediately.

When the catapult threw the first boulder onto the city wall, the defenders on the city wall reacted instantly and shouted at the top of their voices for enemy attack.

Then, the flames on the city wall turned cold, and a steady stream of Japanese soldiers climbed onto the city wall.

The sailors of the Tang Army still hid in the night without holding up torches, but they could see clearly what was happening on the city wall. Who lit so many braziers and torches on the city wall?

The catapults kept throwing boulders into the city, and the soldiers of the Navy began to carry the ladders. Taking advantage of the darkness and the cover of the comrades behind them, they slowly groped to the vicinity of the city wall and quickly set up the ladders.

"Rush!" There was a drumbeat from the Chinese army, and nearly [-] sailors began to rush towards the city wall, climbed the ladder, and captured the city wall.

Liu Rengui also came to the shore in a small boat, watching the battlefield in front of the Chinese army.

The offensive of the generals of the Tang Army was like a raging fire. After climbing the city wall, they began to fight close to the Japanese. Soon, they opened up a situation on the city wall by virtue of their hard armor and sharp weapons.

Most of the Japanese guards in the city were recruited from the city in the past two days. They were ordinary people who had just picked up their weapons and armored ships. In terms of momentum, he was a head shorter than the opponent, and then the difference became more and more obvious.

In Dazaifu's mansion, Abehirov seldom slept soundly today. While half asleep, he heard someone say that the Tang army had attacked the city.

Having this dream again, Abebirov felt it subconsciously, so he turned over, hugged the woman in his arms and continued to sleep.

The foot light outside the room slammed the door, but there was no movement inside.

"My lord! My lord!!!" Ashigaru amplified his voice, calling Abebirov in the room.

Still no response.

Not caring so much, Ashgaru could only open the door and directly broke into the room.

"My lord, it's not good! The Tang army has begun to attack the city! It has already hit the city wall!"

Ashari came in, and after shouting such a loud voice, Abebirov woke up in a daze.

"What did you say?" Abebirov asked.

"The Tang army attacked the city, and it has already hit the city wall!" Ashiqing repeated anxiously.

Now Abebirov woke up completely, sat up with a whimper, and exposed his upper body: "The Tang army attacked the city?!"

"Yes!" Foot light said.

Abebirov didn't care about being naked now, so he got up and wrapped his clothes around his body indiscriminately, then put on his armor, took a samurai sword, and hurried out of the room with Ashgaru, leaving only The two women who were wrapped in sheets got off the couch.

In the front hall, the battle reports in the city kept coming, and the Tang army had already taken down the city wall.

"How many people are there in the city? Anyone who can take up a weapon, let me do it!" Abebirov said anxiously.

"The common people stay behind closed doors. Those who were able to go up have been conscripted into the army for the past two days, and they are now fighting against the Tang army." Ashigaru said.

"Report!!!" A Japanese soldier ran in: "My lord, the Tang army has already begun to clear the soldiers in the city. The Dazaifu can't be kept, so please retreat quickly!"
