Chapter 137: Fighting on Multiple Fronts!
Huo Qubing rode out on his horse, pointed at Oda Xinbao's nose and cursed, "Today I will let you know what a warrior of the Great Zhou is!"
"Kill!"
Huo Qubing roared, led the 30,000-man sword-wielding team and charged out.
"kill!"
Oda Shinko was not to be outdone. He waved his samurai sword and led an army of 100,000 to meet the enemy.
In a blink of an eye.
The two armies collided with each other, the shouts of killing shook the earth, swords flashed, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Chu Yang stood on a high place, looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him with a frown on his face.
He didn't expect that the small country of Japan would have so many troops, and now there are 100,000 of them in Ise Castle.
Kyushu Island is estimated to have about 100,000 people.
The population of Japan's capital is estimated to be around 200,000.
And there are not only hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Fushishan, but also 300,000 militiamen!
If all of them were assembled, it would be an army of one million!
"It seems that conquering Japan is more difficult than imagined!"
Looking at the Shura-like scene in front of him, Chu Yang began to murmur in his heart.
An army of 300,000 may sound like a huge force, but in fact there are only 200,000 of them, and 100,000 of them are left behind to guard the island.
Now after dividing his troops into three groups, he only has more than 30,000 people under his command, and that includes the newly recruited rabble. The truly elite troops who can fight are only a little over 10,000 at most.
If the Japanese reacted quickly and gathered superior forces to defeat them one by one, then this gamble of mine would be a complete failure.
"Your Highness, our army is divided into three groups and all of them are attacking. If Japan gathers its forces to defeat them one by one, this will not be a good thing."
Zhou Yu waved his feather fan with a frown on his face, and it was obvious that he also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Hearing this, Chu Yang's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What's your plan, sir?"
Zhou Yu sighed, put the feather fan into his waist, and whispered: "Your Highness, there is no such thing as a brilliant plan in the world. It's all about killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of your own. If you want to break the situation, you must give up something."
Chu Yang's heart trembled. He knew that Zhou Yu was going to use a ruthless move, but there was really no better way at the moment.
He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Sir, please feel free to say it. As long as I can break the impasse, I am willing to give up everything!"
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing something. After several minutes, he slowly spoke.
"Your Highness, this group of swordmen has committed notorious crimes in Japan, burning, killing and looting. I guess the whole of Japan is eager to eat them alive now."
When Chu Yang heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
He didn't expect that the 30,000 troops he had just summoned would actually be sold out just to break the impasse. This was too much...
"Sir, what you mean is..."
Chu Yang asked hesitantly.
Zhou Yu raised a grim smile and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, we can send someone to deliver a letter to the Japanese army in Mount Fuji, saying that Huo Qubing's army appeared here and has already breached Ise Castle, and requesting them to send troops for support as soon as possible."
Chu Yang suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this. If the Japanese army in Mount Fuji received the news, they would definitely think that Huo Qubing's isolated army was a piece of fat meat and would definitely come out in full force.
By then, Mount Fushi will be short of troops, and his 30,000 troops can take advantage of the opportunity to rush in and capture Mount Fushi in one fell swoop!
"Great! Sir, this plan is really brilliant!"
Chu Yang was shocked. He thought he was ruthless enough, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu's move to be three times more ruthless than his!
"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. Although this plan is feasible, Huo Qubing and his 30,000 troops..."
After Zhou Yu said this, he stopped talking and just looked at Chu Yang with a complicated look.
Chu Yang naturally understood what he meant. He was silent for a moment, but finally he made up his mind.
"Perhaps this is the only way. This is just the beginning. After we occupy Mount Fuji, we will be besieged by the entire Japan. The situation will be even more complicated than it is now!"
"Then you will have to trouble sir to write the letter. I will have someone send it out right away."
He took a deep breath, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
soon.
A soldier disguised himself, carried an urgent letter and set off, galloping all the way to Mount Fuji...
And at this time.
Qiongzhou is thousands of miles away.
Chu Qi was playing chess with a counselor who was wearing a green shirt and holding a folding fan.
"Sir, what do you think my seventh brother is doing in Japan?"
Chu Qi placed a piece and asked casually.
"Third Prince, this Seventh Prince has always played by his own rules. Who knows what he is up to? However..."
The strategist paused here deliberately, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.
"But what?" Chu Qi raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
"But I observed the sky at night and saw that there will be a catastrophe in Japan."
The strategist waved his fan and spoke in a pretentious manner.
Hearing this, Chu Qi put down the chess piece in his hand and smiled indifferently: "Sir, what you said is true. There are earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan every year. It's nothing new, right?"
"No, no,"
The counselor shook his finger, "I am talking about man-made disasters, not natural disasters! Moreover, the source of this catastrophe is none other than your good seventh brother, the Third Prince."
"You mean, Old Seven will win?" Chu Qi raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised.
"Of course he will win. After all, he has a large army and a wise counselor like Zhou Yu to assist him. It's no problem for him to defeat the tiny country of Japan."
The counselor paused, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "But this is probably a tragic victory, and after this battle, the Seventh Prince Chu Yang, who used to dominate the Great Zhou, is likely to cease to exist..."
Chu Qi raised his head suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "What do you mean by this, sir?"
The strategist chuckled and looked at Chu Qi with a 'you know' look.
"Third Prince, think about it. Although the Seventh Prince went to the battle under the banner of fighting for the country, anyone with a discerning eye can see why he is doing this."
"Now that he has grown stronger and has elite soldiers and generals at his command, if he can achieve great military exploits and return to the court, the Zhou Dynasty will be in a new hands."
"After the Seventh Prince wins, he will surely suffer heavy casualties. It will be good enough if he can return with tens of thousands of men. By then, no matter where he is, he will have nowhere to stay."
"After all, what happened to the Huns has already happened once!"
"what do you mean?"
Chu Qi's pupils shrank slightly, and he naturally understood what the strategist meant.
If Chu Yang really returns triumphantly, what awaits him may not be flowers and applause, but... a bottomless abyss!
"Third Prince, don't forget, who in this world is most afraid of someone who is too successful to be a threat to his master?"
The counselor lowered his voice to a very low level, as if he was afraid of being overheard.
Chu Qi was silent, and a figure emerged in his mind. The man was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head. He was sitting upright in the Golden Throne Hall, looking majestic without even getting angry.
"You mean... Father?"
