"What can we do? I'm sure you understand the situation here. I'm running low on food. Perhaps that's where we'll end up."
Fukuda Yasukawa looked at the cliff in the distance. Below was the turbulent sea. Many people had jumped from here in the past few days. Perhaps they did not have the courage to face all this, but did not want to surrender to the Tang people, so this was their final destination.
"Is there really no other way? We still have so many people. If we can break out of here, more people in Fusang will support us. The Tang army hasn't occupied the entire Fusang yet."
Ito Taro said with some disbelief. He believed that there were still many people in Fuso who wanted to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. The reason why he rushed over from his original place was that he wanted to rush out with Fukuda Yasukawa. As long as the two of them rushed out together, the people from other places who resisted would stay with them.
"What you said might be possible, but there are some things I think are impossible, like the two of us rushing out. When I went to pick you up just now, I saw clearly that those people didn't really attack us. Maybe they wanted the two of us to be together so that they only needed to maintain a circle. But if the two of us rush out, they will definitely show no mercy."
Fukuda Yasukawa watched very carefully just now. When Ito Taro rushed towards this side, Kato Jiro's army was fighting and retreating. But if some people wanted to rush to other places, they probably would not have that opportunity.
If Ito Taro had not heard what Fukuda said, he would not have thought of it. But now he thought about it carefully and it turned out to be similar to what this guy thought.
"So they're not going to give us any chance to survive? Are we destined to be trapped here?"
Taro Ito looked at the cliff in the distance with some fear. His desire to survive was still very strong, and this guy definitely didn't want to jump from here.
"How could we possibly survive? The local officials of Fusang are watching us now. Whether we surrender or resist to the end, our fate has already been determined. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a soft-hearted person. He must use our lives to suppress the others, otherwise more people will rise up in rebellion."
Fukuda Yasukawa had seen through this a long time ago. When he was outside the capital, he actually sent someone over to surrender, but the other party refused to accept him.
In order to occupy the entire Fuso, in addition to taking down the emperor, there must be a few troublemakers like them who can use blood to let others know the horror of the Tang Dynasty, and they have to be the ones to bleed.
After figuring out these things, Yasukawa Fukuda was determined to resist to the end. Unfortunately, Taro Ito didn't understand. This guy rushed over and wanted to surrender. When it was absolutely necessary, he even wanted to surrender with Fukuda's head.
But after hearing what Futian said, he instantly understood everything. No matter what they did, Li Xiang would not give them the chance to surrender, because your fate has been doomed since the day you raised the banner of resistance. It's not just that you did something wrong, but your heads have symbolic meaning.
If you surrender and are not killed, then more of the remaining local officials will rise up to cause trouble. Anyway, if you surrender and are not killed, the cost is not very high.
Li Xiang must prevent such a thing from happening, so if you two want to surrender, you probably won't have any chance.
"Then let's try it once? Otherwise I won't give up."
Taro Ito looked at the lazy people around him. Now, while the two of them still had the ability to command, they had to gather their elite men. If they could break out, maybe there would be a different world. But if they couldn't break out, they would be heartbroken and would jump off the cliff without any reluctance.
"Then let's give it a try. Actually, I'm a little bit unwilling to give up, but breaking out is also a difficult road. But if we can continue to move forward, maybe we can be the savior of Fuso."
Fukuda Yasukawa is also a local tyrant. He was made to wait on this hillside. He probably didn't want to die.
Now that the two had made up their minds, they immediately began to select capable and good fighters from among their men. Although the earlier elites had been completely lost, they were still able to find 8,000 young and middle-aged men. As for the injured and the elderly, you can only stay on this hillside.
Of course, Fukuda Yasukawa would not be stupid enough to tell them the truth. He just said that he would attack the people at the foot of the mountain, and then take back some supplies, and finally take them away together. After all, these people were the ones who followed Fukuda Yasukawa to the end, and Fukuda Yasukawa could not let them down.
Some people were so moved that they shed tears, but some people looked at Yasukawa Fukuda and Taro Ito coldly. You two should be the best at acting and lying. In this situation, if you can rush out, but if you look back, it will be an insult to our IQ.
Of course, they couldn't say this out loud. If they said this out loud now, Ito Taro would split you in half without hesitation.
The mountain was bare due to being eaten, and many big trees were knocked down and used to start fires for heating, so there was no shelter at all. When the army on the mountain began to gather, Kato Jiro's men had already discovered it.
What Jiro Asada feared most was that they would not move. If these people did not move, we would have to rack our brains to guess what they were doing. But now these people have gathered together, so they must be rushing down the mountain.
Kato Jiro had already made preparations. Twenty thousand civilians had dug two trenches in total, almost encircling the entire mountain. No matter what method you use to charge, when you encounter these two trenches, your speed will have to slow down.
We have prepared enough bows and arrows. When your speed slows down, the rain of arrows will take your lives.
After struggling on this broken hill for so long, Kato Jiro has really had enough of the hardships here. Now we should hurry up and destroy it. You can then go to the city and enjoy yourself. As long as you can serve the Tang people well, our lives will definitely not be bad.
