Chapter 148: Decisive Battle in Japan, Defend for 1 Day and the Plague Will Rage for 1 Day
the next day.
It was not yet dawn, but Mount Fuji was no longer peaceful.
The deafening shouts and cries of killing, like an invisible hand, violently shattered the tranquility of dawn.
"Your Highness! That old guy Oda Shinbao finally couldn't help himself!"
Zhou Yu, dressed in military uniform, walked quickly into the tent, with a hint of excitement and sarcasm in his tone.
Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. He stood up and asked in a deep voice, "How many people are here?"
"Your Highness, according to a rough estimate, there are no less than 50,000!" Zhou Yu replied with a fist salute.
Chu Yang snorted coldly, with a cold arc on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Fifty thousand? Ha, Oda Xinbao really thinks highly of me and treats me as a soft persimmon."
After saying that, Chu Yang quickly put on his armor and strode out of the tent.
Looking ahead, all they saw was a dark mass at the foot of the mountain, surging like a tide. It was none other than Oda Shinko's army.
All of them had ferocious faces and were filled with murderous intent, and it was obvious that they came with the determination to win.
"Your Highness, the Oda letter bag has attacked!"
A scout came running over, knelt on one knee, and reported in a hurried tone.
“Are they coming? Go and meet them!” Chu Yang shouted loudly, his voice full of arrogance.
After that, he drew the sword from his waist, pointed it at the foot of the mountain, and shouted sternly: "Pass the order down, kill them!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The deafening shouts of killing resounded through the sky, and Chu Yang's soldiers rushed down the mountain like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.
For a moment, the sounds of shouting and weapons clashing intertwined together, playing a tragic symphony of war.
Zhao Yun was dressed in silver armor and holding a bright silver spear, like a god of war. Wherever he passed, the enemy fell to the ground one after another.
Zhang Liao held a big knife in his hand and was extremely brave. Every strike of his knife took away several lives.
Huo Qubing was even more unstoppable. Holding two huge axes in his hands, he charged forward like a heavy tank, shattering the enemy's formation.
"Damn it! How come these soldiers from the Great Zhou are so brave?!"
Oda Shinko looked at the retreating army and roared in frustration.
"Report! General, the Great Zhou army is advancing like a hot knife through butter. Our army is about to be unable to resist!"
A messenger came running over in a panic and knelt down in front of Oda's letter bag.
Upon hearing this, Oda Xinbao was furious. He grabbed the messenger by the collar and shouted, "Useless! You are all a bunch of useless people! Hold on! You must hold on!"
"General, please calm down! The Great Zhou army is too brave. We are no match for them at all!" said the messenger with a sad face.
Oda Shinbao pushed him away and said with gritted teeth: "Pass the order to me. At any cost, we must capture Mount Fushi!"
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
Under the supervision of Oda Nobuo, the Japanese soldiers rushed towards Mount Fukushi like mad dogs, risking their lives.
Chu Yang stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the enemy troops attacking frantically below the mountain, with a sneer on his face, he said lightly.
"Zhou Yu, how long do you think we can hold Mount Fushi?"
Zhou Yu thought for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, with the current strength of our army, it will not be a problem to defend Mount Fushi for ten days or half a month."
"But if Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army arrives, the enemy's morale will surely rise, and within two days, our army will have to withdraw."
Hearing this, Chu Yang nodded slightly and gave the order decisively.
"Pass the order down, tell the soldiers to cheer up and defend Mount Fuji for ten days, and our reinforcements will arrive!"
"promise."
For a moment, the battle on Mount Fuji became more intense, with shouts of killing shaking the sky and blood flowing like a river.
The shouts and cries on Mount Fuji became more and more deafening, and the Japanese soldiers charged forward wave after wave like crazy.
Chu Yang stood on the top of the mountain and looked from afar. The mountain below was densely packed with heads, just like a group of ants trying to gnaw on a piece of sugar.
"Damn it, are these short guys trying to kill themselves?"
Huo Qubing wielded two huge axes and split the Japanese soldiers who rushed up into two halves like chopping melons and vegetables.
Zhang Liao wiped the blood off his face, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and cursed.
"What's there to be afraid of? These Japanese monkeys only have this little trick. When I was the head of the escort team, they didn't even know where to eat dirt!"
"General Zhang is right. Why waste time talking to these scum? Just kill them!"
Zhao Yun danced with the bright silver spear with great vigor. In the flash of silver light, several Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.
Chu Yang looked at the tragic battle situation at the foot of the mountain with a frown on his face. Although his side had the advantage of terrain and had powerful generals such as Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Huo Qubing in command,
However, the Japanese soldiers continued to fight bravely and fearlessly. After all, our own manpower is limited. If this continues, we may not be able to hold out for long.
Just as Chu Yang was worried, a scout ran over in a panic, knelt on the ground, and exclaimed.
"Report! Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Toyotomi Hideyoshi has led a large army to the battlefield, and our army...our army can no longer resist!"
"what?!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi personally led the troops here, which was not a good sign.
Chu Yang took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked in a deep voice: "How many troops did Toyotomi Hideyoshi bring?"
"Your Highness, it's a full... a full two hundred thousand!" The scout's voice was filled with tears.
Two hundred thousand!
Hearing this number, even though Chu Yang was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp.
With an army of 200,000, plus the tens of thousands of soldiers that Oda Shinko had brought with him, as well as countless Japanese militiamen, the ratio of enemy and our forces had reached a terrifying ten to one!
To make matters worse, news also came from Xing Daorong and Pan Feng that the two of them were no match for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's elite troops and had been defeated.
At this time, Zhou Yu said
"Your Highness, Toyotomi Hideyoshi has arrived. It is time for our army to withdraw. I think this plague is enough to wipe out the entire Japanese race."
Chu Yang remained silent, his eyes fixed on the dark mass of enemy troops at the foot of the mountain, his heart filled with resentment.
He knew that the longer the plague lasted, the greater the chance of Japan's destruction.
The next moment, he suddenly raised his head, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and shouted loudly.
"Soldiers, the plague in Japan has been spreading for several days. If we hold out for a few more days, Japan will no longer exist. For the sake of the Great Zhou, in order to destroy Japan and establish an unprecedented feat, the entire army will meet the enemy!"
"promise!"
The messenger took the order and left. Chu Yang's voice sounded again. This time, his tone was full of passion.
"All the soldiers at Mount Fuji will be promoted to the rank of Qianfu! If they hold out for five days, they will be promoted to Wanhu and rewarded with a thousand acres of fertile land!"
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward, let alone an opportunity like this to rise to fame overnight and bring honor to the family?
For a moment, the morale, which had been somewhat low, suddenly rose sharply. All the soldiers seemed to be energized, with red eyes, and rushed madly towards the Japanese soldiers who were rushing up.
"Kill all these Japanese monkeys!"
"For the Great Zhou! For His Highness!"
The deafening shouts of killing resounded through the sky once again, and a brutal bloody battle began on Mount Fuji.
With swords flashing and blood and flesh flying everywhere, Mount Fuji seemed to have turned into a huge meat grinder, with countless lives being lost every moment.
Chu Yang led the charge, holding a spear, under the protection of dozens of personal soldiers.
