The bullet hit Kamige Nogata's sitting horse in an instant.
Shang Maoye fell off the horse, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
"It's over..."
……
After a while, the battle outside the city was over.
Except for Shang Mao Yexing and several high-level officers, the rest were all slaughtered.
But the Japanese soldiers in the city who had planned to come out to support them immediately shrank back inside and did not dare to come out when they saw the situation outside.
"Name?"
Li Xiao came to Shang Mao Ye Xing and asked condescendingly.
"Humph!"
Shang Mao Yexing snorted coldly: "You lowly people from the Central Plains, what can you do if you catch me? The warriors of my Great Eastern Empire have never been afraid of sacrifice. You, a little man, don't want to capture Huaizhou City!"
"How do you know I can't attack?" Li Xiao asked thoughtfully.
"Hehe, even if there are only [-] defenders in the city, relying on the strength of the city wall, it is enough to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of elite soldiers." Shang Maoye said disdainfully.
"It turns out that there are only 2000 people left in the city, thank you for letting me know!"
Li Xiao nodded, then turned around and ordered: "By the way, take this Huaizhou City, and when the follow-up army arrives, take it directly."
"As ordered!"
Xue Rengui cupped his fists and left immediately.
"What?" Kamimo Nogata was stunned, "You want to attack the city with 1000 people?"
He couldn't figure it out, just 1000 people, where did the confidence come from?
Siege is not like killing the enemy on the battlefield. There is no difference in the number of troops, so it is difficult to capture the city.
After simply tidying up the battlefield, the flying cavalry company set off quickly.
Thousands of cavalry went straight to the south gate of Huaizhou City.
The Japanese soldiers on the city wall also noticed the enemy's attack, and all of them immediately put on alert.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing this, Shang Mao Yexing suddenly sneered: "I thought you were so powerful, but you are also an idiot, so you are so eager to send your people to death?"
"Siege? Can you take it down?"
The next moment, I saw Xue Rengui leading people rushing to the city.
Soldiers on the wall also shot arrows down.
"Smoke!"
Without saying a word, Xue Rengui took out the smoke bomb from the package and threw it on the city wall.
Although the city wall is high, it is still within the throwing range.
The soldiers of the flying cavalry company received the order and followed suit.
Smoke bombs exploded on the city wall one after another, and endless thick smoke enveloped this section of the city wall.
The Japanese soldiers inside were shocked to find that they lost their vision under the city wall.
"Be careful of the enemy coming up! Be alert!"
"Quick! Hold the city wall and never let them come up!"
The Japanese soldiers above became anxious.
In the distance, Kamimo Nogata was stunned watching this scene.
"What is this?"
He was all stupid.
He had never heard of it before, and this thick fog could be summoned at will.
Now that there is no smog on the city wall, wouldn't the people from the Central Plains below the city be able to climb the city wall at will?
Thinking of this, Shang Mao Yexing broke out in cold sweat.
He looked at Li Xiao, his eyes filled with endless confusion.
Where did these people come from?
After a while, the thick smoke on the city wall gradually dissipated.
And the big flag belonging to Dongpu has disappeared on the city wall.
Instead, there is a brand new banner with the word "Yue" written on it.
"You really belong to King Yue of the Tang Dynasty!"
Shang Mao Yexing cursed: "Damn! Who is this Yue Wang Li Xiao? How come there are so many strange weapons and equipment?"
Chapter 450: Ninjutsu?
In less than an hour, Huaizhou City was captured by Li Xiao.
This is unique in history.
The main reason was that the main army was slaughtered outside the city, and the main general was captured. The soldiers in the city were terrified, and their combat effectiveness was directly reduced by half.
Furthermore, they had never seen the new attack mode used by the Flying Cavalry Company, so they were naturally caught off guard.
After a while, Li Xiao led people into the city and directly announced the liberation.
He immediately released the Tang Jun prisoners from the prison.
The rest of the common people were also extremely excited, and the whole city cheered.
At this time, in the lobby of the government office.
Kamige Nogata was brought here.
Li Xiao sat on the main seat indifferently, and asked in a deep voice, "Name?"
"If you want to know my name, please tell me your name first!" Shang Mao Yexing said in fluent Chinese.
"This king is the Yue king you speak of... Li Xiao."
"what?!"
Kamimonogata was stunned.
This young man in front of him, at most twenty or eight years old, turned out to be the famous Li Xiao?
"You seem surprised?" Li Xiao asked in surprise, "You should have spies in the court, right? You can't even miss the existence of this king, right?"
"Li Xiao!"
Kamige Nogata frowned and asked, "Who is the person behind you? Who did you learn your ninjutsu from?"
"Ninjutsu?" Li Xiao looked confused, "What ninjutsu?"
He didn't remember that he knew ninjutsu, and he didn't use it!
"That flaming little black ball, do you dare to say that it wasn't blessed with a ninjutsu spell?" Nogata Kamimoge looked angry, "That's the secret technique of our Great Eastern Empire, you thief, you are extremely shameless!"
Hearing this, Li Xiao's face turned serious: "You guys can also make something like this?"
"What do you mean we can?"
Shang Mao Nogata said angrily: "This is my Japanese secret technique. You learned it secretly. If you don't tell me, I know it. It's probably Princess Han Xue who cheated and betrayed the empire!"
"Princess Snow?"
Li Xiao frowned slightly, already having some guesses in his heart.
Isn't Liu Ruohan the princess of Dongpu?
Why do you say that the leak of ninjutsu is the fault of Princess Hanxue?
Could it be that Japan has also discovered gunpowder at this moment?
As soon as the idea came out, Li Xiao quickly denied it in his mind.
If this is the case, with the temperament of these little devils, they would have used gunpowder to fight for world hegemony long ago.
"Continue, let's talk about the situation of your Dongpu... Great Dongying Empire." Li Xiao said with great interest.
"You want to trick me?" Shang Mao Yexing became alert.
"No, it's about exchanging information. I can answer any questions you have." Li Xiao said, "I'll ask first, what kind of ninjutsu do you have, what's going on?"
"Tell me first, who exactly did you learn from?" Shang Mao Nogata frowned.
"can."
Li Xiao nodded, and said slowly: "That flaming ball is called a grenade. It doesn't have any ninjutsu or magical blessings. It's simply made of gunpowder and iron metal."
"Gunpowder? What is that? You want to fool me?" Kamige Nogata looked confused.
"This is the second question. You talk about ninjutsu first, and I'll answer it later." Li Xiao shook his head lightly.
Shang Mao Nogata looked at Li Xiao suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Since ancient times, there have been capable people and strange men roaming the world, and they can cause landslides and tsunamis with every move. The means they use are called ninjutsu."
"It has been passed down to this day, and such people have long since disappeared in the long river of history, but there are countless classics left by them, true and false, no one can distinguish, and no one can understand the mysteries of ninjutsu until one day..."
"The emperor traveled around the world and met a strange woman."
"She made seals with her hands, and then burst out a blue flame. With a light wave, several ronin were swallowed by the flames."
"Finger again, and the ground suddenly collapsed, forming an underground prison, trapping the ronin until they were burned to death."
"She has insight into the mysteries of ninjutsu, and she is the current queen of our Great Eastern Empire, Queen Bao."
"Only members of the royal family are qualified to learn ninjutsu, but you, a lowly Central Plains person, know our ninjutsu. What is it if you don't steal it?"
After hearing Shang Mao Yexing's words, Li Xiao looked puzzled.
Xue Rengui on the side asked suspiciously: "This...why does it look like a folk trick?"
"I think so too..." Li Xiao nodded in agreement.
What shit ninjutsu.
If it really existed, then this world would have been named after the little devil long ago.
"You are not allowed to insult the great Queen Treasure!" Shang Mao Yexing scolded with a cold face.
"Okay, okay, your treasure queen is invincible!"
Li Xiao continued: "This king will now answer your second question. Gunpowder is made of three materials: sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal. It has infinite power. Now this king asks you, what happened to Princess Hanxue? Why? She must have betrayed you?"
"Sulphur, saltpeter, charcoal?"
Kamimonogata froze for a moment, lost in thought.
It took him a long time before he raised his head and said: "Princess Hanxue's Chinese name is Liu Ruohan. You must be familiar with her. She is the daughter of Queen Bao and His Majesty. At the request of Queen Bao, she was sent to the Tang Kingdom since she was a child. culture."
"However, she disappeared for no reason three years ago, and there has been no news of her since. Has she already taken refuge in your country of Tang?"
"Interesting..." Li Xiao was thoughtful, "Liu Ruohan is really your Dongying princess, but..."
As he spoke, he smiled slightly at Umimonogata: "You may not know that your Majesty has been greened."
"Green? What do you mean?" Kamimo Nogata looked puzzled.
"Let's be honest, Liu Ruohan is with me, but what I know is that Liu Ruohan is the daughter of Li Xiaogong, king of Hejian County in Tang Kingdom."
"That's impossible! You're talking nonsense!"
"What kind of treasure queen are you, most of them are also Han Chinese?"
"You... how do you know? I didn't mention it just now..."
"Okay, this topic ends here." Li Xiao's face turned cold, "Now tell me, the distribution of your troops in the Central Plains."
"Don't think about it!"
Kamige Nogata flatly refused.
