The Japanese have a characteristic, that is, they will follow whoever is strong. Ever since Tang Tong established Kokura Castle on Kyukoku Island in Japan, the Japanese have realized how powerful Japan is. What's more, when Tang Tong recruited those Japanese to work for him, he did not treat them unfairly, and the pensions given to those who died in battle were also very high. The Japanese, who were tired of poverty, were naturally willing to work for Tang Tong, and were complacent about being able to work under Lord Tang of Japan.
After the Jiannu general led his men into the encirclement, the Japanese hiding in the bunkers rushed out at the first moment and cut off the Jiannu people's retreat. These Japanese did not carry weapons, but each of them carried a few newly produced grenades, which they lit and threw into the Jiannu troops. These grenades were not large and had little power, but thousands of them exploded in the Jiannu troops at the same time, and the scene and momentum were spectacular.
With just this one blow, the combat effectiveness of thousands of Jiannu's rear troops was lost, making the Jiannu, which was already in disarray, even more chaotic. On one side, rows of volleys were constantly reaping lives, and on the other side, flying grenades were constantly exploding in the Jiannu team. In just a few breaths, the 4,000 Jiannu and Mongolian coalition forces were almost all dead. A small number of Jiannu people who turned around and left their own teams and wanted to break out from the direction of the Japanese were often hit by several grenades at the same time, and both people and horses were blown to pieces.
The battle was almost over. This time, most of the war horses were killed or injured in the explosion. There were less than three dozen intact horses, which made Tang Tong sigh inwardly that it was a pity. When Tang Tong sent people to provoke Agji again, Agji had learned his lesson. No matter how Tang Tong's men cursed him, Agji just hid in his shell and refused to come out.
Tang Tong had too few men under his command and was unable to initiate an attack. Seeing that there was nothing to gain, he retreated with the corpses of the Jiannu and Mongolians. Just like last time, he dumped the corpses at the foot of Shanhaiguan, then turned around and led his troops into the Hunhe waterway, intending to launch a surprise attack on the Jiannu's Shengjing.
Although this period belonged to the Little Ice Age and the amount of water in the northern rivers decreased, the amount of water in the rivers was still suitable for navigation compared to later times. It was just that because the rivers were not large, large ships could not enter the inland rivers, so Tang Tong could only use small boats for transportation.
Shengjing was still some distance away from Hunhe River. If it were at that time, Tang Tong would never have dared to come here to show off his power. But at this time, the Jiannu army was almost concentrated between Jinzhou and Dalinghhe City. There were no Jiannu troops in Shengjing and its vicinity. Therefore, Tang Tong's troops of several thousand were able to easily reach the city of Shengjing.
The Jiannu had a small population, and every battle with the Dawu almost concentrated all of the Jiannu's forces. In the past, Qi Wenlong had also transported troops on small boats to stir up trouble within the Jiannu, thus tying down a lot of Jiannu's forces. However, although Qi Wenlong had tens of thousands of people at its peak, its combat effectiveness was not great, and it was basically defeated every time.
After Tang Wenlong's death, his men were basically powerless, which made Huang Taiji feel more at ease about the safety of his territory. What Huang Taiji never dreamed of was the sudden appearance of Tang Tong's men, and what he never expected was that Tang Tong dared to lead his men to directly attack his old nest, Shengjing.
Shengjing was Huang Taiji's old nest, and there were still 5,000 soldiers left behind at that time. Moreover, the city walls of Shengjing were built extremely solidly. It was not that Wenlong had not thought about attacking Shengjing, but his tens of thousands of troops could not capture Shengjing no matter what.
Under the cover of night, Tang Tong and his entourage appeared at the foot of Shengjing City. Looking at the tall city walls, Zhang Yiheng swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, I never thought that the Jiannu city walls are also quite high."
"Haha, what's the big deal about it being so high? We're not competing with them for the city wall." Tang Tong smiled and said, "By the way, have you investigated the situation inside the city? Are there really only 5,000 people?"
"The situation is clear now. There are only 5,000 defenders in the city, but reinforcements from nearby can arrive within a day. However, in one day, I think Shengjing will have fallen into our hands, and those reinforcements will only die if they come here." Zhang Yiheng looked extremely relaxed, as if he came here not to fight, but to travel.
"Well, then let's prepare to attack the city. Put a few more packets of explosives and try to blow up the city gate in no time. Also, tell those Japanese that we don't have much time this time. After entering the city, let them just rob the things of the wealthy families. Also, the women and things in the Jiannu pseudo-palace belong to us, so tell those Japanese not to rob indiscriminately." Tang Tong nodded and passed on the order.
After Tang Tong got off the train, a dozen Japanese soldiers, carrying dozens of bags of explosives, ran towards the city gate under the cover of night. Tang Tong's usual style for this kind of Japanese suicide squad was to reward them with great rewards. Therefore, for the huge amount of silver and food, those Japanese soldiers often rushed to join the suicide squad. Not to mention that after they died, their families could get a lot of pensions. If they completed the mission alive, they would not have to worry about their lives for several days after completing a mission.
The general on duty on the city wall tonight is Nargutai. He is a smart and capable man, and he does his job conscientiously. Although Shengjing is in the rear, which will not be a problem in the minds of the Jiannu people, Nargutai still arranged three shifts of people to take turns guarding the city wall, and Nargutai himself would get up from time to time to patrol to prevent his men from being lazy.
In recent years, the Dawu people have been defeated repeatedly in battles with the Jiannu people, which has made the Jiannu people more and more daring. In the minds of the Jiannu people, it is impossible for the Dawu people to come to Shengjing, the rear of the Jiannu people. Therefore, although Nargutai has done his best, his subordinates are not worried. Although the people on duty dare not sleep, they usually gather together to chat after Nargutai's inspection to pass the long night.
Although the footsteps of the Japanese carrying explosives were not loud, because it was night and the surroundings were very quiet, the footsteps still traveled far. When the Japanese ran to the foot of the city wall, the footsteps finally reached the ears of the Jiannu people who were gathered together chatting. One of them shook his body and asked his companions, "What is that sound? Did you hear it?"
"What, what sound? Hey, there really seems to be the sound of someone walking under the city." Another one listened carefully, then approached the battlements and looked down at the city. However, during this delay, more than a dozen Japanese had already run under the city gate. So after this man took a look at the city, although it was dark at night, he could still see clearly if there was anyone under the city.
Seeing that there was no one outside the city, the man couldn't help but sneer, "Wu Hai, are you trying to take a nap? There's no one outside the city, so where does that sound come from?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard the sound of orderly footsteps coming from afar. He looked up and saw that four or five steps away from the city, there seemed to be a large number of people walking towards here. Seeing this scene, the man did not think that it was the enemy coming to attack the city. Instead, he wondered where so many people came from at night.
Because he had never thought that Shengjing would be attacked by others, this Jiannu man did not immediately think that it was an enemy attack. He pointed to the city and said to the people: "Look, there seem to be a lot of people coming over there."
Dozens of Jiannu people who were gathered together chatting stood up and looked. At this time, the figures under the city were closer. They could see closer that there were indeed a large number of people walking towards the city. The face of the small leader among the Jiannu people suddenly changed color. Fortunately, because it was night, no one could see clearly that his face turned pale.
The leader suddenly shouted loudly: "Who are you under the city? Tell us your name, or we will open fire."
No one spoke from the city walls, continuing to march forward in silence. The Jiannu leader then understood completely that the people descending from the city walls were not his own, let alone the enemy attacking the city. Thinking of this, the Jiannu leader shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's the enemy! It's the enemy who's attacking the city."
Boom, the answer to the Jiannu leader was the earth-shaking roar at the city gate.
