"Report! General Ono has breached the city of Linbin!"

"They are currently clearing out the enemy troops in the city!"

Inside a camp some distance from the city of Linbin, a messenger was relaying military intelligence to Murata.

Upon receiving this news, Murata glanced at Huang Tianwei standing to the side, then stood up and smiled:

"Good! Well done!"

"Give him five days, and before those five days were up, the city had already fallen! Well done!"

"It seems we need to set off as soon as possible and head to Linbin City first."

Huang Tianwei did not stand up, but said calmly:

"Murata-kun, please be patient."

"Didn't they say they were clearing out the enemy troops? It's not too late for us to make a move after the war is completely over."

Murata waved his hand dismissively, saying:

"The garrison of Linbin City was already at its last gasp. Once the city gates were breached, they were no match for us."

"Moreover, with so many troops dispatched this time, taking Linbin City is already a foregone conclusion!"

Huang Tianwei showed an ambiguous expression, but still calmly said:

"It is precisely because they are at their last gasp that they appear so stubborn; the struggle of a cornered beast can often unleash astonishing feats."

"The final attack of a beast before its death is always particularly fierce, and that is why we must not be impatient."

"Even in a battle with a 90% chance of victory, we must prepare for contingencies. Otherwise, why are we waiting for news instead of attacking the city together with them?"

After saying this, Murata seemed to be deep in thought, then nodded and smiled:

"That makes sense. Seeking victory through stability is naturally the best approach."

"No matter how you look at it, this is a battle we are destined to win!"

He sat down, picked up his teacup, looked at Huang Tianwei, and continued with a smile:

"Lord Tianwei, Linbin City is a very important city in Dagan, even more important than Lingang City, which we have captured. Now that we have captured Linbin City, we can take advantage of the situation and go straight into the heart of Dagan."

"The geomantic map you gave me earlier shows that after passing Anyang County, you can go to Beiliang, and if you go south, you can go to the capital Jinling."

“Once our reinforcements arrive, I think we can split our forces, one heading south and the other north.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Tianwei frowned deeply and said in a deep voice:

"Murata-kun, what are you thinking about?"

"These consecutive victories seem to have clouded your judgment of the situation."

"Even if the local army joins us, we cannot split our forces. Whether we head south to Jinling or go to Beiliang, we will face formidable opponents."

"Especially Beiliang, Qin Ze dared to openly lead his army to attack Jinling. It would be impossible for Beiliang not to have a strong army stationed there."

"The Northern Liang army was able to annihilate the Hu Ma, demonstrating formidable combat strength, far surpassing the capabilities of the troops from the East China Sea!"

Murata's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he sullenly stroked his chin.

Huang Tianwei's expression was solemn as he continued, "During this period, the war has been progressing very smoothly, and can be described as unstoppable."

"But that was only because we had the advantage of being the first to strike. Of course, it was also related to the fact that the army on the East China Sea side was too weak."

"Most cities in the East China Sea are relatively wealthy. After Jin Fengluan took power, he neglected state affairs and paid little attention to border defense. As a result, we have gained the upper hand."

At this point, he picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then looked intently at Murata:

"Winning many battles is certainly a good thing, but it can also easily lead people astray."

"The more critical the moment, the more important it is to have a clear understanding."

"Murata-kun, the enemy we're about to face will get stronger and stronger. The further we fight, the more united those who are determined to fight will become."

"Never underestimate the fighting spirit that a nation on the verge of extinction can unleash."

Murata was amazed and immediately cupped his hands in a salute, saying with a smile:

"Lord Tianwei, please enlighten me."

"It's you who truly understands the importance of this project!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Tianwei fell silent and stopped speaking.

Murata waved his hand dismissively: "Investigate further and report back!"

"I want to hear the good news that we have completely taken over Linbin City!"

"Yes, General!"

——

"Your Majesty, Linbin City is just ahead!"

"After such a long journey, my body is a little stiff. I have a fine horse at my disposal, so I request permission to go ahead and head to the battlefield first. I'll kill some Japanese to warm up my body and get my hands and feet warmed up."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

With a "smack," Red Hare's head was slapped.

It snorted, took off on all fours, and ran away. In just a few breaths, it entered the city.

Then, another person said:

"Your Majesty, since the battle is already underway, the battlefield must be in chaos. In that case, we cannot use my usual tactics to avoid accidentally injuring friendly forces."

"In my humble opinion, heavy weapons are not suitable for this situation. It is more appropriate to use infantry to wipe out the Japanese pirates."

"Once this battle is over, we can then suppress the Japanese pirates with firepower."

"Okay, sure."

"Your Majesty, then this general will first wipe out the Japanese pirates in this area."

"Apart from the Japanese pirates in this area, Your Majesty... this humble general has already cleared them all out."

"Yes, leave no Japanese pirates alive who have set foot in our territory!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

——

On the battlefield.

With a "clang," sparks flew everywhere!

Sweat beaded on Otani's forehead. He staggered back two steps immediately after the initial clash, a tingling sensation spreading through his hand that held the sword. He was panting heavily.

Zhang Ye's face was flushed, and his hair and beard were disheveled, but his body remained upright.

“With your skills, it would be a shame to die here. Why not surrender to us? General Murata values ​​talent above all else, and you will have a bright future.” Otani Hara persuaded as he backed away.
