Standing next to him, Yamamoto could even feel the strong resentment emanating from Otsuka Yoshio.
How could Yoshio Otsuka not hate him?
He lost more than half of his three thousand troops at the small city gate in front.
Even his trusted general Doi Yuan was shot into a hedgehog.
What's even more outrageous is that they didn't even hurt anyone on the opposite side.
Yoshio Otsuka looked at the round corpse lying on the ground and clenched his fists tightly together.
"Sir, those Tang people are so insidious. We only thought there was a mechanism on the city tower, but we didn't expect that there were many Tang archers hiding behind the gates of the inner city."
"General Doi Madoka was killed before he could react."
"With the rain of arrows all over the sky, our warriors had no chance to fight back. They could only fall in large pieces." Yamamoto slowly talked about the scene just now.
In my heart, I was even glad that I was walking slower.
If Doi Yuan hadn't been so eager to do his best, leaving himself behind to wait for the sky-blasting artillery troops, and really wanted to enter the city gate together, I'm afraid they would have suffered a lot of losses.
After hearing Yamamoto's explanation, Otsuka Yoshio's face became even more ugly.
I originally thought that I could easily capture Yangcheng, but I didn't expect that I had just entered Wengcheng and lost thousands of people.
How could he bear such a huge loss?
"Yamamoto, now it's up to you to lead the sky-blasting artillery troops into the Wengcheng. No matter who or how many people are hidden inside, they will all be blown up by me."
"We must enter the inner city at all costs!" Yoshio Otsuka faced Yamamoto with a very irritable tone.
"Hai!" Yamamoto nodded in response.
Without any further stop, he led the sky-blasting artillery troops into Wengcheng again.
Soon, a shocking explosion came from the city.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky.
<
br> From time to time there are huge flames coming out.
About two hours later, Yamamoto sent someone back and told Otsuka Yoshio that a gap had been opened in the barbican city, and the army could enter the city through the gap.
"Everyone, enter the city." Otsuka Yoshio waved his hand, and the Japanese army came in front, and the Baekje army followed, and slowly entered Yangseong City.
…
"Your Highness, I just came to report that the Japanese army has all entered the city, and the Baekje army has followed behind."
"Today, only a thousand Japanese troops are left to defend the river bank."
Ten miles north of Rangcheng, the center of the Tang army has retreated here.
Zhao Chen only had two or three generals at his disposal.
As for Cheng Yaojin, Xu Shiji, Li Jing, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and others, they all have their own tasks.
"It seems that the other side is really anxious." Zhao Chen said with a smile, and then instantly suppressed his smile: "Instruct Qin Huaiyu to stop the enemy army during the day and lead the army to retreat to Cheng Chumo's headquarters in the evening."
"Yes!" A messenger immediately took the order and left.
"Send an order to Cheng Yaojin and ask him to station himself at the north gate of Yangcheng. No matter what, he will block the enemy troops who want to leave the city through the north gate."
"Yes!" Another messenger rushed out.
"Send orders to Xu Shiji, Ximen will be guarded to the death, and not a single enemy will be allowed to leave."
"Instruct Li Jing to guard the east gate and not let a single enemy go."
"Send an order to Cheng Chumo. After he joins Qin Huaiyu's troops, he will detour to the south gate, block the retreat from the south gate, and defeat the remaining Japanese army."
"yes!"
Zhao Chen's order was issued, and the messengers left the camp one by one at a very fast speed.

The Tang Dynasty's army numbered 200,000 people, while the Japanese and Baekje coalition forces on the opposite side only numbered more than 100,000 people.
Moreover, the Japanese country's sky-blasting cannons had been used a lot, and Zhao Chen asked the soldiers to dig trenches both inside and outside Rangcheng.
The effect of the sky-blasting cannon is not great.
As long as the Japanese army enters Rangcheng and all the troops are in place in time, Zhao Chen is sure that Rangcheng will become the cemetery of the Japanese army.
Seeing the soldiers leaving, Zhao Chen became extremely excited.
If the Japanese army is successfully destroyed this time, then the next step is to clean up the Japanese army.
Unless this potential threat is resolved, Zhao Chen will never feel at ease.
What's more, now the Japanese country has obtained the technology of the sky-blasting cannon.
If this problem is not solved, the Japanese country will still extend its tentacles into the Tang Dynasty in the future.
This time, we will avoid future troubles forever.
…
Yoshio Otsuka was a little confused.
When they entered the inner city, they discovered that not only did they not see a single person in the city, but there were trenches as deep as one person everywhere.
Criss-crossed and densely packed.
The entire city seemed to have been dug into a maze.
How many people would it take to dig like this?
Yoshio Otsuka felt a little worried.
Since the Tang army dug this trench, there would definitely be no ambush.
"Japanese pirates, you really dare to come in." Qin Huaiyu's voice came from afar.
Otsuka Yoshio looked forward and saw Qin Huaiyu standing on a high platform in the distance, looking at him coldly.
"Baga, a native of the Tang Dynasty!" Otsuka Yoshio was furious: "Fire the arrow!"
Countless arrows rained down towards Qin Huaiyu in an instant.
Qin Huaiyu immediately jumped off the high platform, and the soldiers in the trench immediately put their shields on their heads to block the falling arrows.
After a round of arrows, Qin Huaiyu stood back on the high platform, looked at Yoshio Otsuka in the distance jokingly, and said with a smile: "Is this all you have?"
"Use what you stole against us!"
"Baga!" Otsuka Yoshio could understand what Qin Huaiyu said.
But what made him even more annoyed was that the person on the other side knew that his army was approaching the border, yet he still dared to stand here and provoke him.
"Watanabe-san, take three thousand people and kill him!" Otsuka Yoshio shouted to a Japanese general.
"Hai!" Watanabe, the Japanese general, led his three thousand Japanese soldiers and rushed towards the place where Qin Huaiyu was.
But there were dug trenches in front of them, and they had to cross them step by step.
After walking for a few moments, I suddenly saw a large number of Tang archers appearing in the distance where Qin Huaiyu was.
