The men and horses brought by Li Mu were all compound talents. Among the Jinyiwei he brought, there were bricklayers and carpenters, and they all obtained qualification certificates. With these people, they built brick kilns, log wood, built crossbows, arrows, and stones on the same day, and all the equipment to defend and attack the city could be manufactured.

On the other hand, Li Mu used the printing tools on the ship to print many "flyers" for the eldest brother of the Shanbei. The leaflets were full of pictures and texts, and recorded the sins of Suwo family. At the same time, he told the Japanese people that their emperor had come in an inappropriate throne. The real emperor should be the eldest brother of the Shanbei.

Moreover, the eldest brother of the Shanbei received support from the Celestial Empire and was the King of the Japanese recognized by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The pseudo-Emperor of Suwo, the Eagle-Er, was not recognized by the Celestial Empire. The Celestial Empire had sent a fleet to attack, and a war was about to break out soon.

Before the war begins, if you can abandon the darkness and join the side of the eldest brother of Shanbei, the support of the Celestial Empire, not only will the Celestial Empire not only give up the past, but will also give preferential treatment. The preferential treatment includes reading, literacy, teaching skills, etc., which can be said to be unable to buy or suffer losses, nor can you be deceived.

If a noble family chooses to support Shanbei’s eldest brother, they will get the opportunity to return to the Central Plains to study with the Celestial Chronicle fleet. Whether it is a ‘study abroad monk’ or a ‘international student’, the Tang Dynasty will be given preferential treatment.

If you are doing business, you can also get priority to enter the Mingzhou Port. Depending on the merits, you will get a franchise with varying years. Just imagine that the silk in the Central Plains is only one operating in Japan, so how much profit will it be?

All kinds of favorable benefits were basically covered by all classes as the ship spread along the coastline, and it was spread by one or ten times. Under the strong control of Suwo family, it still failed to prevent the circulation of leaflets. Within ten days, the four islands of Japan were basically known to everyone.

Su Wo, who had been hesitating, finally made up his mind to regain his strength and start a war with Li Mu.

They have no choice but to retreat.

...

After these ten days, the power of the Shanbei Brother King has also made great progress. It has to be said that the power of the leaflet is very powerful. Or the Suwo family has occupied power for many years and offended too many people, or the Shanbei Brother King also has many loyalists who have hidden themselves. In short, in ten days, a lot of warriors have been recruited.

There is one advantage for Japanese samurai. That is, there is no need to send weapons. Only those with weapons are qualified to become samurai. Many people's weapons have been passed down for more than ten generations. With this weapon, future generations can have a bowl of rice.

In Japan, where metallurgical level is low, it is very difficult to have a weapon. In Japan, which is relatively closed, whoever can win over more weapons for his own use will be able to control the entire country.

The rise of the Suwo clan was because the Suwo clan was once the largest smuggling merchant in Japan during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. They traded with the Central Plains coast and obtained a lot of weapons during the troubled times. With these weapons and the wealth obtained from trade, they kept training samurai step by step, and stood at the peak of Japan's power.

In just ten days, the warriors who came back with each ship had more than two thousand people. The Tang Dynasty fleet and the smallest Thousand Stone ship were bigger than the largest turtle ship in Japan, galloping along the coast without any opponents. The Suwo ships wanted to intercept, but they couldn't even catch up, let alone fight.

These ships successfully transported the people to the first stronghold, where there were Jinyiwei waiting to train them.

Although the Japanese samurai is called a samurai, its combat effectiveness is worrying. The combat effectiveness mentioned here is not the combat effectiveness of fighting alone, but the combat effectiveness of team combat.

When fighting alone and fighting to the death, the Japanese samurai are not much inferior to the Jinyiwei. This is related to their fighting style. The ordinary Jinyiwei's fighting style is usually a big fight and a head-on battle. However, Japanese samurai fights with all kinds of despicable means. Any despicable means can be used. In this way, although Jinyiwei is generally stronger than Japanese samurai, he can only barely win or lose the June 4th.

However, if it is a team battle, the Japanese samurai will only be killed. The trained Jinyiwei will basically change three or five battle formations at any time. In the battle formation, each member depends on each other and helps each other. The combat power is not as simple as one plus one equals two. However, Japanese samurai fights alone. If they are asked to cooperate, it will not only not have the effect of one plus one greater than two, but will often have side effects and accidentally hurt their own people.

You can imagine what consequences will be when one rises and the other falls.

The Jinyiwei wanted to train this method of attack. But Li Mu was still careful. He didn't want the Japanese warriors to learn the method of attacking the battle formation. One day they would use it on the military and civilians of the Tang Dynasty, so he asked the Jinyiwei to train targetedly. Only train a battle formation with restraint. In this way, if there is conflict with Japan in the future, the Tang Dynasty's military and civilians will also have a method of defeating the enemy.

Moreover, they are used to the battle formation. Even if there are flaws, they have no choice. An effective battle formation has been tempered for thousands of years and is not so easy to improve. If the flaws exist, they cannot make up for it.

I heard that the people from Suwo clan attacked him, and Li Mu gathered the people from the three strongholds to a stronghold on the coast. He dug trenches and traps, used mechanism techniques to arrange the mechanisms, and waited for their arrival.

...

The Su-Wo family and his son learned to be smart this time. In order to avoid hitting landmines again, they caught many beasts and drove them to the stronghold. Not to mention, this method is effective, and many traps and mechanisms arranged are mixed up by these beasts.

Seeing the effect, Su and my father were overjoyed and did not rush to attack. They sent the warriors under their command to catch a lot of beasts, intending to clear all the mechanisms in front of them. If there were no terrible mechanisms that would explode, with the advantage of military strength, Su and my father and I believed that even if the opponent was a soldier from the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom, they would definitely win.

They are all flesh and blood, three lives exchange one life, or five lives exchange one life. How many people do you Tang army have?

The second wave of mechanisms triggered significantly less. The Su-My father and son were relieved, so they shot arrows randomly, and then urged their warriors to charge.

The war in Japan is that simple.

Compared with the Central Plains, Japan does not have tall city walls or horses. Most of the time, it can only charge on foot. The arrows are used less, and they are all single-to-one fighting.

This is why later historians often laughed and cried when studying the history of Japan.

There are many "big" battles recorded in the history of Japan. Looking at the written records, I thought it was a big battle. In fact, after careful analysis, it was equivalent to the two counties in the Central Plains working.

Even the two villages can be described very epicly.

Their so-called aristocratic families, daimyos, etc. are equivalent to Rikamasa and village chief. Even Chinese historians are mostly interested in the history of Japan.

The warriors charged over the mountains and fields. It seemed to be a huge momentum, but in fact there were only two or three thousand people. It was not that the Su-Wo family and his son could not find more people. In fact, this battlefield could only accommodate these, and no matter how many there were, they could not squeeze in.

They rushed through the "minefield" and indeed no one died. The beasts completed the task well, and there were almost no traps left that were not triggered.

Just when they were happy and rushed into the stronghold, they could kill all directions. Suddenly, an arrow shot into a warrior's face, and the warrior fell down and screamed in terror.

No one sympathized with him. When others saw an arrow shot over, they took out a mask from their arms. These masks were made of a fish bone in the sea. When they encountered fire, they would become soft and could change their shapes. When they encountered water, they would become firm and hard. They were good materials for making armor, but because they were too rare, they could only be worn by high-ranking officials.

Su My family took out all this secret weapon, which shows that they were bound to win this time. Another rain of arrows, and the casualties were even smaller this time. In the thousands of front rows, only a few people were injured and were stepped on by their companions behind them.

The charge did not stop, and he was about to rush into the stronghold. Suddenly, the warriors felt a shadow on their heads, as if a cloud was floating over them.

They subconsciously looked up at the sky, but before they could see anything clearly, they suddenly burst into a thunderous sound and were poured into a cold heart by unknown liquid.

Someone had a good nose, and after a while smelling it, his face changed drastically. He pulled his clothes and shouted, "Take off his clothes quickly, these are all oil!"

"They want to attack with fire!"

"It was too late when I shouted out!" Ikyu on the hot air balloon threw down a torch and lit a large area in an instant.

The ground was already covered with hay and flammable materials. When the torches fell, even if the tung oil on the Japanese samurai could not be ignited, it would have ignited the hay beside them. In an instant, a large sea of ​​fire was like purgatory.

"Save me quickly, save me quickly!"

The warriors may not be afraid of death, but they are definitely afraid of being burned to death.

It would be fine if you were burned to death, but you were afraid that the burned people would be neither human nor ghost. As a warrior, it would be even more uncomfortable than killing them.

Some people can't stand the pain of being burned, take out the weapons on their waists and wipe their necks.

Some people saw that they were about to die, and before leaving, they wanted to pull a cushion, but they hugged a person who was not that big, and they died together.

The distortion of human nature is fully reflected at this moment!

Looking at all this from afar, Su and my father and son no longer know what words to use to describe their hearts at this moment.

What is this? I haven't seen it before. How can people still fly in the sky? Two people with short-sighted knowledge certainly don't know what a hot air balloon is, let alone a high-end three-heat-proof balloon with air tightness several times the material before.

The hot air balloon is high, sprinkling tung oil and throwing torches, don't be too relaxed. These chargers gathered at the entrance of the stronghold, and they really didn't need fire attacks, so I'm sorry for this good opportunity.

The warriors who were running in the front and wanted to make contributions were almost ignited by tung oil. They ran back in a hurry and collided with the back row head-on. Thousands of people were in a mess, igniting a large wave of people.

When Su and my father and son saw this scene, their eyes were already dull.

How can I fight this?

Last time, it exploded and it was directly smashed.

This time, after finally solving this problem, they started to burn again. A long way away, they all smelled the meat.

It turns out that the human meat is roasted, and it turns out to be this kind of taste.

What about next time? Even if we organize the troops again, I don’t know what tricks they have next time! Why are the abominable Tang people so tricky?

"withdraw!"

Su I, Ekima, shouted sadly, and the army was withdrawn. But how many people could hear his shouts and obey his orders, that was not necessarily the case.

The crossbowmen on the hot air balloon are leisurely trying to kill the "fire people" below one by one, just like slaughtering a chicken and a dog, without any difficulty.

When there are no one standing in front of the stronghold gate, looking down from the sky, at least hundreds of corpses must be left here.

Seeing Su I-Yayi escape, Li Mu did not order to chase him. It was not that he could not chase him, but that there was no need. He was anxious and he was defeated by the death, and he would die. If he really caught Su I-Ya and his son, it would be difficult to deal with it. What he wanted was a balance of power in Japan, rather than really wanting to let the eldest brother of Shanbei replace Su I-Ya family.

This strategy is like the British and Americans in later generations. They deliberately left controversial areas and then sat in the mountains to watch the tiger fight. The profit from it is essentially the same.

Now the power of the Suwo clan is still too strong, so Li Mu wanted to support Shanbei's eldest brother to balance the Suwo clan. But if the Suwo clan is too cruel and even tormented to death, wouldn't the world of Japan become the dominant king of Shanbei's eldest brother?

When his family is dominant, whether he can still control his ambitions is just a matter of two things.

...

The news of victory was spread again with the leaflets. Suwo lost, giving more confidence to those who were waiting and watching. The Heavenly Kingdom is indeed the Heavenly Kingdom, and you will know if it is there at one point. Otherwise, why would people call the Heavenly Kingdom? It can really fly to the sky!

There were spies from various families who witnessed the entire battle with their own eyes and went back to describe it vividly. The hot air balloon was mysterious, as if this thing could only be a treasure in the sky.

At the moment, Japan's technical level and the principle of hot air balloons are so unthinkable that they can't think of any reason. People will put things they cannot understand, no matter which country or nation, they will put them on ghosts and gods. This is human nature.

The Suwo family lost two consecutive games, and it was one-sided and pale. Years of oppression and shocking position were already in danger.

Li Mu refused everyone here, and as long as the warriors or merchants who surrendered to him were all fulfilled according to the publicity on the leaflet.

The first group of organized merchant fleets also returned under the leadership of the Qianshi frigate in the fleet. They wanted to return to Yangzhou Port for transactions and supplies, and before the construction of Mingzhou Port was completed, they could only do this for the time being.

In addition to bringing some newly trained sailors to the return flight, the more important thing is that in order to support these Japanese who defected to them, they need to transport some money and food.
