The blazing fires in the dense forest are becoming more and more fierce, and there is a disgusting odor in the air. It is the stench emitted by the Japanese pirates who were burned to death by the fire. Water and fire are ruthless, especially the forest fires in the dense forest are even more ruthless. Even if there are forest fires in later generations, humans are powerless, let alone in ancient times? Such forest fires will only be extinguished after the forest is burned completely, and there is nothing else to do.

The forest fire burned for nearly two days before it was extinguished. It is estimated that two-thirds of the 100,000 Japanese pirate army were buried in the sea of ​​fire, and at most one-third could escape. This also made the army of Yema Tai Kingdom frightened, and its troops were once again severely operated. The army, which originally had more than 200,000, suddenly lost more than 60,000 people. In addition to the Japanese pirate army destroyed by Zhang Chuang's troops, the nearly 100,000 army was wiped out.

The bushfire was burning. Although it was really raining in the sky, in the face of the blazing fire, the insignificant little rain could only be considered as adding fuel to the fire. Not only did it not have the effect of extinguishing the fire, it encouraged the burning of the bushfire army.

The soldiers who set fire early also returned, without any casualties. However, a few soldiers were also ravaged by the bushfire when they fled, and even their eyebrows were gone. When they returned, Gan Ning and others laughed endlessly.

Ten days later, a heavy rain fell in the sky, completely extinguishing the burning fire in the dense forest; Gan Ning led the 5,000 vanguard troops to set off again, and Lu Su's central army followed closely, with a distance of only 5 kilometers.

The Japanese pirates on the Yema Tai Kingdom and Shiguo Island, Honzhou Island did not leave the city to fight again. The Japanese pirates adopted the method of defending the city to resist the attack of the Lusu and Ganning army.

Because Xu Funa, the traitors of the country, brought more than 3,000 of the best craftsmen from the Qin Dynasty to Jiuzhou Island hundreds of years ago, this also brought about earth-shaking changes in the technology of Jiuzhou Island, allowing the Japanese pirates on Jiuzhou Island to rapidly evolve from primitive indigenous tribes to feudal society, especially in the fields of shipbuilding, smelting, construction, farming, and sanitation.

It also made the city of the Ema Tai Kingdom as strong and durable as the city of the Great Han Dynasty; the city wall of the Ema Tai Kingdom is as high as 5 meters, and there are various fortifications on the city wall, which is no different from the cities within the Great Han Dynasty, and it is very solid. With the assistance of 100,000 Japanese pirates and more than 20 people, it is easy to defend the city, and it is indeed not easy to break.

The evil horse and Taiguo always made up their minds to defend the city. The purpose is obvious. This is to consume the strength of Lusu and Gan Ning in the city attack. After all, in ancient battlefields, especially in the attack and defense of the city, the side of the defending troops on the ground would suffer very little than the side of the attack. It should be the concept of 3:1 or 4:1, which is a very normal ratio.

The capital of the Ema Tai Kingdom has been guarding countless times. For the Japanese pirates, defending the city has more experience and knowing how to defend the city. The Ema Tai Kingdom is also a country established after hundreds of years of misunderstanding battles. It is the most powerful country among the Japanese pirate islands. The concept of a country has not yet been formed on other islands. There will be no tribes with a large population, some of which have more than 100,000 people, and the smallest have tens of thousands.

After observing the capital of the Evil Ma Tai Kingdom, Gan Ning smiled bitterly: "Zijing, Xu Fu, that big liar, can you build a city with these Japanese pirates? What is the difference between such a city and the cities in our Han Dynasty? It is even more solid!"

Lu Su smiled and said, "The 3,000 excellent craftsmen brought by Xu Fu have really had a great influence on the Japanese pirates, which has qualitatively improved the technical level of the Japanese pirates. The city wall has strong defense capabilities. If we do not have weapons and equipment such as catapults, it will be difficult to break through this city, and we have to pay a heavy price."

Gan Ning said: "Zijing, I heard from the lord that the Japanese pirates stored a large amount of gold and silver. Although we seized a lot during this period of conquest, we still did not find a large amount of gold and silver. I want to avoid this evil horse and Tai Kingdom's capital, there should be a lot of harvest!"

Lu Su smiled and said, "The lord of this matter said that there are many gold and silver mines on the Japanese pirate islands. I don't know if these Japanese pirates have explored it."

Lu Su and Gan Ning didn't think about how to destroy the capital of Xiema Tai Kingdom. They talked about how much treasure they would have in the city, which was unbelievable; it seemed that it was not a problem to conquer the capital in front of them.

Gan Ning said: "Zijing, this evil horse-Taiwanese country really knows how to choose a city! Since it is backing on one side and water on the other side, only the northeast is conducive to attack; it is easy to defend such a city. Just guard the city walls in the northeast two directions. It is not easy to concentrate troops to the maximum extent!"

Lu Su said: "This must be the idea of ​​the craftsmen brought by Xu Fu. How could Japanese pirates think of such a place to build a city? It seems that if they don't conquer it, it will be difficult to conquer it in a few decades!"

Gan Ning said: "Zijing, let's temporarily delay the siege and take the prisoners behind to 20,000 to land the moat of the capital of the Yematai Kingdom. This will reduce the damage to our soldiers and let the Japanese pirates become cannon fodder first."

Lu Su nodded and said, "Xingba, you have a good idea. Letting the prisoners be cannon fodder is the best choice. Our soldiers only need to reject them. Anyway, even if they die, they will be prisoners."

Gan Ning said, "Then I will arrange for someone to take the prisoners over immediately. It will not be too late to attack the city after the prisoners come."

Lu Su said: "We also need to ask the military craftsmen to make plate trucks immediately, and also sacks for filling soil. Without such things, it is not easy to landfill the moat. I see that the water flowing in this moat stands up."

Lu Su and Gan Ning were very despicable and shameless. Since they wanted to let the captured Japanese pirates be cannon fodder, wouldn’t they let the Japanese pirates kill their own people? For Lu Su and Gan Ning, the lives of Japanese pirates are not worth much, and even a dog is not worth it. Even if they are not used as cannon fodder, after the Japanese pirates' island conquest is over, these prisoners will be killed.

Gan Ning said: "Among those captured Japanese pirates, some are still craftsmen? This part is not used. The lord said that he should stay with the craftsmen and see what abilities these island craftsmen have. If it is good, it will make them a lifelong slave. Now we have to temporarily protect them."

Lu Su said: "Even so, we don't have to be too polite. Let's escort all the captured Japanese pirates and carpenters come over. Anyway, we have to make a lot of things for siege."

Gan Ning said: "Zijing, what kind of gunpowder sent by the lord? It is said that it is very powerful. I looked at the explanation. Do you think it will be useful?"

Lu Su smiled and said, "Whether it is useful, you will know if it is useful when siegeing the city. I don't know what it is, and I have never heard of any gunpowder. However, the lord has always been very rigorous in his work, so there should be no mistakes."

Gan Ning said: "Then we will definitely try it once."
