Chapter 605: Passing by again

In the south of Suzhou City, Jingyue Lake Wharf, this wharf connecting Suzhou City, is no less prosperous than Yangzhou Wharf. The dock cargo warehouse town centered on the wharf is also of considerable scale.

However, at this moment, the Suzhou wharf area was moaning and roaring in the blazing fire. In Bali wharf, countless cargo warehouses were swallowed by the flames of the swallowing sky, collapsed, turned into a piece of Mars, and flew into the sky.

Outside Suzhou City, on a huge whistle tower that was temporarily built using wood near the dock, Willow Recruitment Guard looked at the flame without blinking, and the burning wave rushed from afar. The armor on his body was burning with a blue-red color, but Willow Recruitment Guard did not move, but the constantly stimulating brows meant that his heart was bleeding.

The Willow Recruitment is from a traditional samurai family, and his surname only represents a lowest-level samurai family in the Sakura family. It has a fief of 500 stones and a few hundred acres of land. It has twenty soldiers in its family and is under the command of the Sakurai family, the guard of the Sakura Eight Gate.

He, a samurai under the name of Fusang Sakura, should be considered a small landlord, but his living conditions are not as good as an ordinary weaver in Suzhou City. In his eyes, the high-government and large courtyards in Suzhou City are even more luxurious and wider than the Sakura City in Sakura Daimai.

And in Fusang, the silk and satin that had to be exchanged for heavy gold was a luxury that was beyond reach for a low-level warrior. He still remembered that only his mother had a costume made of this silk, which was passed down from generation to generation by the women in his family.

However, just before his eyes, the silk full of warehouses, which he regarded as treasures in his home, burned in the fire and turned into a piece of ashes. What kind of wealth is that? If he could bring back a few pieces of horses, how many kimonos could he make! He would never have to wait until every festival to take them out solemnly. He was cautious and afraid of being broken. Even if he wore silk kimonos every day, he would be fine!

However, Lord Sakurai's orders must be implemented. I guess those guys in Inoue are in a different mood at this moment!

The burning Suzhou Pier turned into ashes under the devour of the flame demon. At the top of Suzhou City, Sakurai Masaichi was also bleeding in his heart, but he had to do this. Suzhou City spent a day, finally took down four gates and held Suzhou City in his hand.

However, this Suzhou City is like a chestnut burned in charcoal fire, and it also releases burning heat. Leng Zhuo guessed it well. Sakurai Masato was not strong in his hands. He did not intend to capture the place when attacking Suzhou City, but instead used the attack on Suzhou City and the troops of the surrounding empires to facilitate the rear army to quickly seize the river and coastal areas.

This time they came to plunder the city and siege the land was secondary. Taking the place and transporting it back was considered to be put in your pocket. It can be said that although the Penglai Islands annihilated the Penglai naval army, the Sakura family actually maintained a certain degree of awe for the empire.

Therefore, when making the plan, the Yinghua family planned to plunder Linhe County, Haizhou County, and Changzhou County, which was completely adjacent to the sea. If they could plunder other counties along the coastline, they would not go deep into the inner land of the empire for 800 miles. Even if the imperial army came to suppress it, they could quickly retreat to the sea.

Plundering is one aspect, but Sakura Akichi also knows that his subordinates cannot break too much in the empire, otherwise even if they plunder a large amount of materials and property, it will be more than worth the loss. After all, elite soldiers are very precious, especially for a chaotic island that has been fighting for five hundred years.

However, the plan was far from keeping up with the rapid change. The Suzhou City, which was difficult to capture in the plan, was easily broken. After easily taking a gate, Sakurai Masaichi hesitated for a moment and made a bolder move, sending ninjas to assassinate the city officials and generals, and then tentatively moving towards the Suzhou City. Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly, almost drove away, massacred the defenders, and captured the other three gates.

Happiness came too quickly. After a dizzy, Sakurai finally recovered from calmness. While sending people to contact the Sakura army behind him, he began to arrange guards in Suzhou City because his subordinates were only 3,000, but there were a large number of ninjas, with a total of 1,000 people. However, in comparison, Suzhou City was still too big, with three thousand people per cent, and he could barely defend the four gates. He could not distribute many personnel in the city, and he had to send a large number of forces to spread around to investigate the situation.

Just at noon today, a force in the city suddenly forced its way out of the south gate, caught off guard, and the city guards with insufficient strength could not stop it. They were killed by the opponent and rushed to the southeast. He soon learned from some people in Suzhou City that in that direction, at the foot of a mountain just a few dozen miles away, there was the Suzhou naval army camp. If you whip up, you will definitely not be able to go back and forth within one day.

The army had not moved before, and it might be unclear, so it was not clear that the situation was so dared not act rashly, but if the person who broke through revealed their truth, the surrounding emperors would definitely come in crazily. With the fewer than three thousand troops in his hands, it would be difficult to defend the huge Suzhou City with only one word.

He really couldn't give more power to clear out the resistance family in the city. The city was still in chaos. Outside the city, facing the emperor who might come, scattered four gates, and the troops in Suzhou were too scattered. But if you want this city, it was impossible to send troops everywhere. He could only pray now that the emperor would come one day later, and the Sakura family's army would come one day earlier, so that this big city, which ranks among the top three in Yangzhou, would fall into the hands of the Sakura family. As long as you move here, the wealth obtained by the Sakura family would be enough to sweep away all the names and achieve immortal hegemony.

For this plan, Sakurai had to order fire prevention to burn the south pier. With the fire in the south pier, it could burn for at least two days and two nights, so that the pressure on defense could be reduced a lot.

The fire in Sakurai was burning at the right time. Starting from the waterway, three thousand soldiers and horses from Suzhou Water Camp in Suzhou City drove warships from Jingyue Lake and heading straight to Suzhou Pier. However, you can see the fire in the dark night for more than ten miles away.

Standing on the top of a big ship, looking at the sky reflected in the distance, a red fire, Zhou Yu slapped the railings hard and said, "The other party set a fire at the dock, and the fire probably burned the entire dock. If we want to dock, we have to find another place!"

Leng Zhuo was silent. Although it was just a fire, it had a great impact on them. There was no wharf. Although they could find a place to dock and land, they were more than ten miles away from Suzhou and were easily ambushed by the other party by land. The crossbows, catapults and other things on the ship were difficult to carry and disembark, which means they lost long-range equipment.

Suzhou City is a big port, surrounded by city walls. The opponent has few soldiers and horses, and they are not many of them. They are all light armored water soldiers. The opponent has city defenses to defend. Although Leng Zhuo has four major guards and king-level monster mounts, Leng Zhuo dare not take it lightly. The Thunder Golden Beast under Li Yuanba's crotch was summoned by Dongyi Ninja.

Without the assistance of siege equipment, attacking Suzhou City may become a stalemate, and delaying time is obviously not good for them. Perhaps the Japanese don’t know about the Yangzhou soldiers, but they still don’t understand. The troops gathered in Yangzhou and were coming over. They didn’t even think about it for three or five days. In terms of distance, it is obvious that the Japanese army is closer, so they come faster. At that time, the influence of Suzhou City will be profound.

Leng Zhuo has never been to Suzhou, so the size of Suzhou wharf is quite like, but the dock in Xiangyang City is made of bluestone: "Gongjin, is Suzhou wharf made of wooden or stone!"

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment. Although he was a little puzzled, he still said: "Of course it is made of stone, and it is quite old, but it is well repaired and maintained. Even if it is used for another hundred years, there is no problem! Young Master, you ask this?"

"If it's made of stone, then continue to go straight to the dock!"

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master is planning to force a road from the sea of ​​fire?"

"kindness!"

Sitting in Hushan and Suzhou Water Camp, although all the troops and horses that could be drawn in the camp were still left to guard the camp. The prefect Wu Chang also dispatched with the army, but his family was temporarily placed in the camp.

Without thousands of navy soldiers, the water camp became extremely quiet. Just before dusk, a hasty sound of horse hooves came from a dirt road at the foot of Mount Chu. In this camp where you can hear the sound of falling needles, the sound of horse hooves naturally attracted the attention of the patrol soldiers.

"Who is coming? Report to the name, otherwise you will be put on a crossbow!" The guards shouted loudly at the dozens of horses running towards them. On the Muzhai, the crossbow arrows on several crossbow arrow towers quickly put on the bowstrings, put on thick and long crossbow arrows, and aimed at the visitor.

"Don't do it, I am the head of the Bai family in Suzhou City. Bai Yu, I'm here to meet your water camp leader!"

When the captain of the guards heard this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "I have seen the head of the Bai family. You stop immediately and ask the head of the Bai family to come up in person and let me identify it!"

"Okay!" Bai Yu said, waving his hand to let the brigade stop and rode forward alone.

"It turns out that the head of the Bai family is here. Please open the village door quickly and let someone in!" What is the status of the Bai family in Suzhou City? The woman in the family of the captain of the army also signed a contract with the Bai family. She can exchange a lot of silver for the Bai family with woven fabric every month, so he still has a good impression of the Bai family.

"Bai Family Master, you broke through, the situation in the city is fine!" Seeing that Bai Yu's blood was still new, it was obviously a bloody battle to fight.

"It would be bad if there are no reinforcements. This time I came here to find your commander to move the troops!"

"You see, this may be a missed. My commander, Marquis of Ping'an, Marquis Leng, and Lord Wu of Suzhou, led the entire camp on a boat to Suzhou City more than an hour ago. It was just a waterway, but it was just a break-off!"

"It's already gone!" Bai Yu was relieved when he heard this. It seemed that his mother had really come here right.

"Marty Ping'an, is the Martyrion Ping'an in Chuzhou?" At this moment, Bai Shuang, who was behind Bai Yu, suddenly asked.

"That's right, Marquis Ping'an came back with my commander in the afternoon, and then summoned his troops and headed straight for Suzhou!"

"Can we help us arrange a boat? Let's go back to Suzhou City by water!" Bai Shuang said.

"Yes, please follow me!"

"Cousin, why do you know that Marquis Ping'an?"
