The Japanese soldier leaped up and swung his sword down.
But the next moment, he crashed to the ground.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, looking down at his chest.
Blood was gushing from his chest, but there was no arrow stuck in it.
The pain began to spread, gradually creeping from his chest into his limbs and bones, and then he let out a bloodcurdling scream.
"Aaaaaah!"
The Japanese soldier clutched his chest and began to writhe on the ground in excruciating pain.
As he rolled, his gaze fell upon the approaching troops not far away.
Another army has arrived!
Moreover, unlike before, there seem to be even more troops arriving to provide support this time!
No! They are endless, rushing in and rapidly merging into the battlefield, with countless people following behind them!
Moreover, this army participating in the war was clearly different from the large-scale armies of the past.
The weapons they used were completely different from those used by ordinary soldiers!
Another "thud" rang out, and the tumbling Japanese soldier seemed to have been hit by something. He shuddered and finally stopped rolling.
Song Ke, who had closed his eyes and awaited death, opened them, his mind filled with doubt.
But the scene that greeted him upon opening his eyes sent a shiver down his spine.
“This…this is…” He suddenly widened his eyes, his vision becoming incredibly clear.
Unbeknownst to them, an unprecedented army had appeared on this tense battlefield.
They were rapidly merging into the battlefield. Among the troops, a large banner stood against the wind, the character "焱" (yan) fluttering in the wind like a raging fire.
Song Ketong's pupils constricted, as if she could hardly believe it.
But a pungent smell began to spread across the battlefield and also entered his nasal cavity; he keenly detected this smell.
This smell is just like the smell of firecrackers set off during the Lunar New Year!
That's the smell of gunpowder!
Song Ke trembled, and when he looked at the group of people again, his eyes were filled with shock.
This unfamiliar army seems to have weapons completely different from those of ordinary armies. In addition, it is obvious that their combat power is definitely above that of ordinary armies!
Just then, a loud shout drew Song Ke's attention.
It was a man dressed in military uniform with a long sword at his waist, who shouted angrily:
"All troops, listen to my command! Exterminate all the Japanese pirates in this area!"
The moment the words were spoken, the first to step forward were small teams.
They consisted of eleven people, led by a leader, with one person on the left holding a round rattan shield and another on the right holding a large, long rattan shield.
Behind the two shield bearers was a soldier wielding a strange weapon.
Song Ke could hardly believe it; the weapons these two soldiers were carrying were actually bamboo!
It was an extremely long bamboo, two or three meters long, and the branches had not been completely cut off. The straight bamboo had countless sharp branches, and at first glance, it had a considerable intimidating presence.
Following them were four spearmen, which were the weapons used by normal soldiers, and at the end of the column were two soldiers holding halberds.
Thus, exactly eleven people formed a square.
Besides these small teams, there were also soldiers armed with various weapons, who were already charging towards the Japanese!
——
On the other side, the sudden arrival of this large army also startled Zhang Ye, who was fighting against the Japanese.
Looking at that flag, a feeling of familiarity mixed with strangeness washed over me.
This flag immediately reminded him of the Crimson Flame Army Flag.
But there seems to be something different; the pattern on this flag is noticeably more explosive, seemingly indicating a determination to burn everything.
A thought that he was somewhat unsure of quietly crept into his mind.
Could this be troops sent by Qin Ze?
His gaze then searched through the crowd, trying to find that familiar figure.
However, before they could see Qin Ze, they saw a general they had met in Xijing before.
That day in Xijing left an extremely deep impression on him, one that he would never forget.
The arrogant general of Tuyuan Kingdom, Daikli, killed many of the Xijing garrison soldiers with a giant axe, but Daikli eventually died at the hands of this very general.
He used two iron halberds to force Dikeli to his knees, and with the last halberd, he smashed Dikeli's head apart!
This man was named Dian Wei. In Zhang Ye's mind, this man was no different from a ferocious beast!
At this moment, Dian Wei separated from the main army and led a small group of men, running quickly along the city wall, seemingly heading towards the city gate.
Zhang Ye suspected that he was probably trying to flank them.
But soon, Zhang Ye realized that the arrival of this person meant that the people who came here were Qin Ze's troops!
And that fierce general from before was probably also from Qin Ze's command!
Then, an unbelievable idea came to mind, and Zhang Ye was shocked!
Qin Ze not only defeated the imperial court, but has even declared himself emperor?!
But at this moment, he had no time to think further; the fierce battle had already begun!
This reinforcement force arrived with lightning speed and entered the battlefield, launching a brutal attack on the enemy!
——
At the same time, Ono Jiro's expression changed as he watched the army pouring in from the inner city and led his soldiers forward.
"Baka! There are reinforcements!"
Ono Jiro cursed loudly, his face gradually turning a deep liver color.
They thought they could easily break into Linbin City today, but after such a difficult siege, they finally broke into the inner city only to be met with fierce resistance from the defenders.
Even so, these defenders were no match for them. Just when they were about to take the city, they were stopped by reinforcements who suddenly arrived.
Therefore, he has personally led his troops to launch an attack and achieved remarkable results. Linbin City is almost completely captured, and the fruits of victory are practically within his grasp.
But now, reinforcements are still arriving.
Thinking of this, Ono Jiro became even angrier. There were quite a few troops coming, and they were still rushing out of the inner city. He didn't know how many more were behind them.
Under these circumstances, it seems we're headed for a bloody battle today. In that case, should we withdraw our troops first? However, we've already given General Murata a military order.
And... he was standing right in front of that damned Huang Tianwei.
If they were to return in such a sorry state, how would they explain themselves? They would likely never be able to hold their heads up in front of Huang Tianwei again.
But if the bloody battle continues, even if the losses are huge, as long as we can capture Linbin City, it is acceptable!
We must seize this opportunity as quickly as possible; the longer we delay, the more likely things will go wrong! Japan must rise to prominence through this vigorous effort!
Rather than slinking back, we should fight to the death to capture Linbin City, which would be a fitting tribute to His Majesty the Emperor!
For His Majesty the Emperor, for Japan, anyone can be sacrificed! Even oneself!
