Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 248
When the defenders who had been disturbed and stayed up all night finally ushered in the dawn.As the only surviving feudal lord of the Fusang clan in Kangzhou, the powerful native vassal clan, whose territory spans the two states of (Mainland) Oshu and (Department) Hashu, Shibamasu, the chief general of the South Road, also stepped onto the wall.

It can be said that King Deming relied on his own strength to forcibly pull back the princes of Fusang who were about to be involved in large-scale civil strife from the frontier of the confrontation between the North and the South and the division between the East and the West.But at the same time, as the price of attracting these powerful daimyos/lords, it is also expensive.

Therefore, even the Fusang princes/vassals who participated in this sea-crossing expedition were also divided into many factions.Some are branches of the Jingwang family in Heijo, hard-core vassals, and ministers; some were persuaded by the huge benefits promised by the royal family; some were forced to confiscate...

Therefore, after arriving in the land of Haidong, it is natural that there will be a difference in treatment according to the closeness and distance with the Royal General's Mansion.The feudal mansion where Shibamasu resides is a remote place with a vast land and sparsely populated areas where savages are everywhere, ruling the hard-working Mutsu people and Dewa mountain people.

Therefore, he was one of the last remnants of the indigenous forces who resisted to the army of guards of the royal family who came to the Tang Dynasty.In the end, due to the bitter cold of the place, the poverty of the people, and the lack of gains after working hard, it was possible to surrender to the new lord of Pingchengjing and preserve the inheritance of the surname and family.

Therefore, even if he is estranged from the new royal family and regarded as a remote feudal lord like a country savage; under the general trend of the Fusang land, he had to cobble together 1 horses in his mansion, and personally He led and participated in this cross-sea expedition.

But his luck is undoubtedly favored by the heavens; as a backup for arranging the second batch of departure; the fleet carrying the Shiba family's Ou Fan soldiers encountered a storm.Most of the troops, including Shibamasu, were blown to the coast near Tamna Island, and they managed to save their lives.

However, after he led his troops to disembark from the stranded ship, he found that he had arrived in Kangzhou, the land of the sea, and Jinhaijing, one of the five small capitals, was tens of miles away; It was the highlight moment when he fought hard to win Kim Hae-kyung, who was neglected to guard against him.

Among the Fusang Islands, Sulai was born in the Northland feudal family known for its bitterness, coldness and barrenness; Shiba Masu and his subordinates, except for the occasional tribute and the opportunity to meet Heijo capital, have never seen such a prosperous city in a warm and rich area; therefore , Occupy it and refuse to spit it out again.

Even the General's Mansion had to admit that it was a fait accompli, pinching his nose and granting him the official position and title of the General of the South Road; making him govern the coastal areas and going ashore belonged to those miscellaneous families with small and medium surnames; The possibility of continuing to expand land.

However, the vassals and subordinates of the ancestors from the old king were demoted and released from Beijing for ten miles in the court struggle, and went to the frontiers far away. However, Siba Jianxu, who had a hard way and established a family by himself through confiscation and captivity in the local area, was already very satisfied. In such a Jinhaijing, and the income of nearby sites.

Because, just the land output in these places and the number of household registrations in the city are several times that of his mansion, which claims to span two states.Therefore, as a ready-made vested interest faction, he no longer cares about the Fusang local mansion, and intends to hand it over to his younger brother.

On the other hand, he leads the members of the main family to take root in this land of Haidong, and manage such a new family business bestowed by God.Therefore, he should not forcefully accept the daughters of many local nobles as concubines, and let his eldest son who joined the army marry the widow of the late Jin Haijing Dayin...

On the other hand, it is taking advantage of Jin Haijing's sea and land hub position to continuously win over and make friends with those feudal clans who have passed through the border since then; the title of general general of the South Road granted by the general's mansion has thus become a state that covers Kangzhou. Throughout the territory, the trend of the great power of Xintu suzerain.

When the Haidong Army counterattacked and entered Kangzhou, he was also the most resolute in resisting, and expanded his army and prepared for war in a very short time after hearing the news.For this reason, not only put aside previous suspicions and estrangements, but also gathered and accommodated the remnants of those defeated feudal clans, with a view to annexing and swallowing each other in disguise after the war.

He also organized a decisive action to clear the wild and strong walls at the first time, setting fire to and looting the local people who refused to escape; pulling away all the young and strong wherever they could be seen, so that even if there were survivors, there would be no survivors. It will only become a burden and burden for the foreign Haidong army.

And this time, the large-scale counterattack of the Haidong Army caused heavy losses to the Fusang clans in Kangzhou; but it also helped in disguise. The control area is located on the coast, and the strength is relatively intact. The reason and name of the endgame/disguised annexation of various domains.

At this moment, compared to the tense, nervous, or panic-stricken defenders on the top of the city, or the guards who are facing a big enemy; on the contrary, he is much more determined.Because Shiba Jianxu had already noticed that although the Haidong army outside the city was coming, it was obvious that many parties were not prepared enough.

Whether it is rebuilding equipment or building a siege fortress, it will take more time.In addition, there are still more than ten thousand people in the Fusang clan in the city; moreover, the city defense is intact and the equipment, food and fodder are still sufficient.

On the contrary, they can slowly drag the opponent's exhaustion and decline.In this way, even if other vassal troops from various walks fail to come to support and respond in time, they can support them for a long time with the defenders alone.The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the cooperation from inside and outside the city.

Therefore, when the Haidong Army started to besiege the city yesterday, he had already ordered the arrest and detention of those male members of the local rich family and noble eunuchs in the city who might become suspects in the city; If there is any movement or wind, they will be executed on the spot.

Shibamasu, who was wearing a heavy and gorgeous armor, was almost thinking while walking on the city platform; he loudly encouraged all the soldiers, group leaders and banners that he could see in front of him with his not-so-sophisticated Pingjing accent; Or promise to be a landlord, or perhaps be a land slave.

When he came to the west gate building facing the encircled camp of the Haidong Army and where the logo of the Chinese Army was located, the place was already full of well-dressed feudal lords, generals, and guards holding a dazzling array of flags. He shouted and saluted loudly: "General General..."

However, Shibamasu noticed that most people's expressions were a little strange and subtle.Immediately, a reserve general stepped forward, raised his hand and signaled to him: "My lord, please look over there..."

A towering hill blocking the view to the north of Jinhaijing, together with some pavilions and buildings, suddenly seemed to have disappeared overnight.However, the Huangshan River, which was originally hidden behind the mountain, has obviously undergone a large-scale diversion, and a strange-shaped pit that is being filled with stagnant water.

The next moment, under the hoarse shouting and clamor of the many Haidong troops rushing forward from the very hasty and simple siege camp, someone saw a black spot in the sky, rising along the morning sun. He got up and came towards him, and then he opened his mouth and wiped his eyes in astonishment.

Because, people with good eyesight can vaguely see it, it seems to be a human figure walking in the middle of the day.Amidst the screams and screams, someone knelt down and prayed loudly:
"The Sunshine Bodhisattva has manifested!"

"The Great Sun Tathagata, the Dharma Realm is boundless."

"It's Amaterasu's Fate, who has manifested the Holy East Sea."

"Bastard!" However, Shiba Jianxu couldn't help being furious, and he personally stepped forward and kicked these bowed people, regardless of their identities and status, to the ground: "The enemy is now... ...".However, his voice was quickly lost in the uproar.Because the sun seems to change color.

There was a loud and rolling sound in the air, and countless huge and rugged earth and rocks rolled straight down from the sky above the tower where they were, like a nine-day waterfall; In the sound, it floods and fills the vision of most people.

Although this was only a matter of a few breaths, everyone couldn't help but lose their voices in shock.When the flying smoke and dust finally gradually thinned and dissipated, there was only a tall mound left at the original gate tower, and the tributaries of the Huangshan River surrounding the city were completely blocked.

And under these few low and gentle slopes created out of thin air, the Haidong Army, which was already armed, rushed forward with a surge of morale.It passed over and was submerged in a blink of an eye, leaving only a few remaining walls of the defenders, and drove straight into the depths of the city in one go, setting off fireworks.

What's worse, in order to meet the enemy and watch the battle, dozens of vassal lords and hundreds of Fusang generals, together with the most elite guards, recent trainees, flag heads, envoys, military eyes, and material sights around them , Most of them were buried under the earth-shattering, earth-rock falling like rain.

Therefore, even if there were still a large number of Fusang Fan soldiers in the city, they were quickly dispersed and divided, and defeated one by one under the leadership of the dragons.And the defenders who escaped on the other walls were even more frightened by the upheaval that moved mountains and filled the sea.

It was hardly necessary for the Haidong Army to run along the city wall and rush in front of them. There were already screams, and groups of people who had discarded their armor and armor opened the door and fled outside the city, or simply jumped off the city wall.In just half a day, Jin Haijing, with its high walls and thick walls, changed hands again.

In the end, it took two days and one night to excavate from the filling site of the Ximen Tower, a total of 980 three corpses; and more than a dozen people who have been frightened and stupid, and can only chant the names of gods and Buddhas crazily, like clay figurines survivor.

And among the remnants of the defeated generals who could be found in the city and used to parade in the streets and kneel in front of Little Round Face to hold the prisoner offering ceremony; the one with the highest status was only one, because he was newly arrived and was not acclimatized, so he could only cultivate in the city. Because of this, the young Noto domain lord escaped unharmed.

More importantly, the Haidong Army obtained enough food and grass for the current battle for several years from the almost intact Jin Haijing; and was forcibly recruited by the Fusang Army. Tens of thousands of young and middle-aged supporters.

In addition, Yinjinhaijing is located in the southern coastal water and land hub; now it is also one of the two major sea transportation ports for the Fusang coalition forces.Therefore, the local area not only hoarded a large number of supplies and military supplies waiting to be transshipped here; there were even more than ten thousand relatives and family members of the Fusang clans who had been stranded here.

Therefore, this time, it is not just a simple matter of the shock of the Fusang Allied Forces (some of them are watching the fire from the other side/sit and watch the success or failure).Rather, the entire Fusang coalition forces located in the southwest may face a huge existential crisis in which backup and supplies may be cut off.
