When the Japanese soldiers heard Otsuka Yoshio's order, they also knew that they had no way out now.
They could only rush towards the Tang army in front.
But now that they don't have the sky-blasting cannon, how can they be the opponents of the Tang Dynasty soldiers with only their flesh and blood bodies.
Arrows fell from the sky like raindrops, landing on the heads, faces, and bodies of the Japanese soldiers.
Many Japanese soldiers had no time to react and could only subconsciously look at the arrows flying from the sky.
"ah!"
"Get out of here!"
"idiot!"
The screams of Japanese soldiers kept coming from the front, and large areas of Japanese soldiers fell in front.
"Shield Soldier!" Yamamoto shouted.
They didn't even meet anyone from the Tang army, and were hit by a hail of arrows from the opposite side, so they didn't dare to raise their heads.
After all, Yamamoto was also a Japanese general, so he immediately asked the shield soldiers to block the front.
A large number of arrows were blocked by the shields, which slightly reduced the casualties of some Japanese soldiers.
"Everyone, stay where you are and don't let them come over." Yamamoto shouted again.
Their purpose was to cover the Tang army's defense where Otsuka Yoshio and his men protruded through the south gate.
It's not about breaking through the siege of the Tang army on the opposite side.
Furthermore, after taking over the task of resisting the Tang army from Otsuka Yoshio, Yamamoto did not expect to come back alive from here.
Now he just wants to delay the Tang army here for a while longer.
"Pikemen, attack, and archers suppress the enemies in the rear." Xu Shiji issued the combat order.
The forward troops of the Tang army instantly transformed from archers into spearmen. The sharp spears were two feet long, and the tips of the spears shone with a cold light.
"ha!"
"ha!"
"ha!"
The spearmen took a step and roared, causing the soil on the ground to shake.
The rain of arrows suppressed even the opponent's head.

Don't dare to lift it.
The Japanese soldiers all looked shocked. Although there were many of them, they felt fear in their hearts at this moment.
They were so unstoppable before that they captured Baekje without wasting any force.
The defeat of Yeon Gaesomun was only a small loss.
But now, facing the Tang army in front, they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
"General, what should we do now?"
"When the spearmen of the Tang army come over, ours may not have a chance." The Japanese deputy general on the side looked worriedly at the Tang army advancing towards them step by step.
Yamamoto's face was also extremely ugly.
But he had no other choice. If they didn't withstand the Tang army's attack here, Otsuka Yoshio and the others would not have time to deal with the Tang army at the south gate.
They will all be buried here.
"Stick here and we must not let them pass by easily." Yamamoto said with a cold face.
"Hai..."
"kill!"
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had rushed to a position less than 20 meters away from them, and the archers behind had stopped firing arrows.
A high-pitched cry of killing resounded across the sky.
The two armies fought together instantly.
Blood, roars, fighting, and crying were staged in the huge city of Rang.
…
Otsuka Yoshio led his soldiers and ran towards the south gate of Rangcheng.
Yamamoto and the others only had 10,000 people, so it was impossible to stop the attack of 100,000 troops from the Tang army.
Yoshio Otsuka can't waste any time.
So even if there was a shocking sound of fighting in the distance behind him, Otsuka Yoshio never looked back.
Without breaking through Nancheng
The Tang army is defending the gate, and all of them will die here.
"Speed up, we must kill the Tang army at the South City Gate by surprise." Otsuka Yoshio shouted to his soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers started running towards the south city gate with stern eyes.
Outside the south gate of Yangcheng, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu led 80,000 troops and were already ready here.
The boats they used to cross the river with Otsuka Yoshio had all been scuttled.
No matter what, they would never let the Japanese army cross the river behind them.
"There is already movement ahead, and the leading Japanese people are probably coming out soon." Cheng Chumo, riding on a war horse, said to Qin Huaiyu beside him.
"It's better to come out, it will save us wasting time here." Qin Huaiyu said calmly, but there was still a trace of expectation in his eyes.
After destroying the 70,000 Japanese army, there will no longer be any force around the Tang Dynasty that can threaten the existence of the Tang Dynasty.
Yeongaesomun is now unable to protect itself, Silla and Baekje have nothing to worry about, and now only a Japanese country is left.
"This time we have destroyed the Japanese army. Once Zhao Da gets back the manufacturing method of the sky-blasting cannon from the Japanese emperor, we can go back to Chang'an to retire." Cheng Chu said with a silent smile.
"Well, almost." Qin Huaiyu nodded.
Too many things have happened in the past few years, and they have basically been fighting in the past few years. They have not even been back to Chang'an a few times.
"Okay, they are here." Qin Huaiyu pointed at the Japanese army running towards them in the distance.
"Everyone, prepare to meet the enemy." Cheng Chumo also immediately stopped joking and shouted with a stern expression.
Although they numbered 80,000, the Japanese army also had 60,000 troops.
This battle was not as easy as imagined.
…
"kill!"

br> "Kill!"
"kill!"
Otsuka Yoshio frantically directed his Japanese soldiers to attack the Tang soldiers at the south gate.
But the effect is not obvious.
Qin Huaiyu had already made sufficient preparations here.
Moreover, with the support of Cheng Chumo's 30,000 troops, there is no way Otsuka Yoshio's 60,000 troops can break through in one wave.
The two sides fought together, blood and weapons collided.
There were wailing sounds and the neighing of war horses everywhere.
The battle continued until evening, and the gates of the south city were already piled with corpses from both sides.
All the trenches dug by the Tang army had already been filled in.
"Sir, it's been a day, and our people haven't rushed even an inch." Otsuka Yoshio sat at the gate of the south city gate, looking expressionlessly at the Tang army blocking their way like iron barrels in front of them.
It has been a day, and 60,000 of them have not advanced an inch.
Everyone is exhausted, what else can they do?
"General, why don't we try again at night?"
"The news came from General Yamamoto just now. They have blocked the attack of the Tang army for more than ten times, but now there are only three thousand troops left. It is estimated that they will not be able to hold on tomorrow." The Japanese general said again.
Yoshio Otsuka's heart tightened.
Yamamoto only has three thousand men left, which means that they will not be able to break through the Tang Army's position ahead by this time tomorrow.
Then he's dead.
"The order goes down. I will lead the last charge tonight. If we can't charge out, we will have no choice but to sacrifice our lives and serve His Majesty the Emperor." Yoshio Otsuka said in a deep voice.
"Hai!" The general beside him nodded.
It has reached this point and they have no other chance.
