The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 497 Only speed can never break

Ran Min's eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea. He had been eager to attack, so he only took the land route, because the land route was closest to Huang Bing.

If the warships come in from Huangbing River, they can sail directly into Huangbing City. Although it will take some time, they can save a lot of strength and give full play to their strengths.

There are rivers crisscrossing Huangbing City and the water system is well developed, so the warships can be used as assault charges.

I actually ignored this simplest thing.

Ran Min slapped his head and ordered the deputy general Jin Long who was on duty at the sea to lead the fleet north from the mouth of the Huangbing River. However, his side could only besiege but not attack. Once the fleet arrived, they would attack the city together.

It would obviously take two or three days to wait for the fleet to assist, and the army's food had already come from plundering the surrounding villages and towns.

The next day, a sergeant came to report that there were no more civilians within a hundred miles, and everything had been cleared away, leaving only an empty town.

Even the crops in the fields were snatched away early, and what he got back with his gun was only enough for one day.

Ran Min said angrily: "Wherever the army goes, it will eat if there is food and starve if it is not. I am the first to save food and eat only one porridge a day."

It was a difficult three days. The army not only had to go hungry, but also had to prepare carefully to attack the city.

In fact, in just a few days, Emperor Shuming wanted to mobilize troops from various places to Huang Bing. It was just a dream. How far could he go in three days?

This is exactly what Ran Min saw, so he attacked quickly and did not give his opponent a chance to react.

Although Inugami Oden was a talented general, it was hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Under the crushing force of the weapons of the Tang army, although several of his strategies were effective, there was no time to implement them.

He originally thought that Huang Bing could hold on for half a month, but on the third day, his sneak attack team was bombarded in the Huang Bing River until nothing was left.

Because the two sides happened to meet.

And his tunnel has just left the city.

Before reaching the Tang army's position, Yu Jinlong's fleet had already entered Huangbing City and started shelling the defenders.

Datang's fleet artillery consisted of large iron pipes and gunpowder packets. It was quite simple, but it benefited from Li Chengdao's emphasis on the basic ability of steelmaking.

The barrel strength is already superior to the Hongyi cannon of the Qing Dynasty, with a longer range and more power.

These guns have modern simple mathematical knowledge and can shoot more accurately.

The battleships lined up in two rows and bombarded them fiercely. The Japanese troops fell in pieces. They continued to grab supplements from behind, but they were bombarded again!

As soon as Ran Min saw the battleship arriving, he ordered an urgent attack...

Suddenly there was thunder in Huang Bing City, one after another, and there was no mercy at all.

To make matters worse, the homes of the people in Huangbingcheng were all made of wood. Fires broke out with a blast, and more people were burned to death.

Ran Min's vanguard finally opened a breakthrough with the help of battleships and swarmed in from the gap. Ran Min came to supervise the formation in person.

The army rushed into Huangbing City instantly.

Knowing that the situation was over, Inugami Oden looked up to the sky and sighed: "His Majesty the Emperor gave me soldiers but not time. The defeat of the yellow soldiers was not due to my incompetence!"

Time, in the dimension of war, no matter how you overestimate its role, it is impossible to overestimate it.

The only thing in the world that can't be destroyed is speed. Ran Min also understands this truth very well, so no matter what the enemy does or does, he only has one thing: Hurry!

At this time, the various troops mobilized by Emperor Shumei were still halfway there, and the regular troops mobilized from Ishikawa were even still in the Tono area, still seven or eight days away from the yellow soldiers.

Inugami Oden could only suggest that Chibalang order the remaining defenders to retreat from Huangbing and prepare to block the Tang army in the wild between Huangbing and Chiyoda to consume the Tang army.

After all, the number of Tang soldiers was limited. Compared to the Japanese, the Tang army was occupied by foreigners. This was nothing like a civil war. Whoever occupied it was their own people.

Therefore, as soon as the Tang army entered Huang Bing, all the remaining people immediately fled in all directions and rushed out of the city.

When Qianye Lang left the city, he also ordered all the people to move north to hide from the Tang army.

As soon as they entered the city, there were still people and remnants of the army who had not escaped from the city who desperately resisted. Ran Min ordered that anyone who was not from our clan and who was more than three feet taller would be killed.

Ran Min has always been known as the general who exterminated clans. Of course, he liked to exterminate clans, and only Li Chengdao knew about it.

But it was in his nature to hate.

On the surface, he ordered only those who were three feet tall or taller to be killed. In fact, he secretly instigated the soldiers to kill anyone they encountered. There was no standard at all.

According to his private statement, it was to save food for the army and to kill people to save food was his pioneering work.

Throughout Huangbing City, burning, killing, looting and looting could be seen everywhere.

It was even worse than the barbarity of Wang Xuance's three thousand people who began to enter Tianzhu.

Soldier killing competitions abounded. Younger women were all put to sleep first and then killed. Some were snatched into camps and hid as slaves, providing special services.

These things were against the style of the Tang army. People kept reporting to Ran Min, and the military supervisor also raised objections. Ran Min ignored them all, and even got angry. Don't bother him about this matter.

The entire Huangbing army was filled with shouts and screams, and it was so miserable that the fire burned for three days and nights and still continued to extinguish.

The streets were littered with corpses, and no one dared to pass by. The stench was terrible.

Half of the Huang soldiers' population of more than 100,000 fled, and the remaining 50,000 people were basically extinct.

On the second day, Ran Min ordered the pen supervisor in the army to write down an appeal against the Japanese. He dictated it and the pen supervisor wrote it down.

Ran Min had no literary talent, and his message was very direct and clear: "His Majesty asked you to go to Chang'an, but you didn't go. He asked you to be a slave, but you ignored him. He asked you to pay tribute and increase taxes so you can save money. Learn from me and eat what I have." , in the end you disobey me, how can there be such a reason in the world. Today, the great general of the Celestial Dynasty will come to spank you, and present your ass as soon as possible, otherwise! I will burn your Asuka Okamoto Palace and sleep with your princess and queen! Kill your people again! Don't do it! It’s my fault that the general is cruel, the general has always been cruel.”

As soon as this kind of message was written, the generals around him had a hard time holding back their laughter.

There is no way to issue a message in the middle of the fight. An ultimatum is more appropriate.

What's even worse is that this style of writing is indeed a bit insulting to Han civilization.

Ran Min didn't care at all. He was straight-tempered and could do whatever he wanted, no matter what the rules.

Despite repeated dissuasion from those around him, the memorandum was still sent out and someone was sent to Asuka Okamoto Palace. (The name of the palace is not pleasant but it is true)

As soon as Soga Ezo received the document, he couldn't help but became furious. Instead of reporting it to the emperor, he tore it up and killed the envoy Ran Min.

Ran Min issued a message and only rested for one day. The next day, he ordered the entire army and fleet to advance together to attack Chiyoda.

At this time, Inugami Oden had gathered more than 100,000 troops and horses in the Meijiye area between Chiyo Kingdom and Huang Bing. They were reinforcements from all directions. With the troops and horses arriving from Ishikawa, the number may reach more than 200,000, which was far away. They are stronger and more powerful than those in Huang Bing.

He fortified the Meijieye area layer by layer, vowing not to let Ran Min cross the thunder pool.

At this time, Ran Min only had more than 50,000 people left.

Wan Zelin sent people to Ishikawa and brought Ran Min's military order. If Jin Zhi still had fighting strength, he would go north by land and attack in two ways. If he no longer had fighting strength, he would go up the coast and join forces with Ran Min and then go north together. Two strategies. For gold stains to choose.
