These well-fed and watered people headed straight for each other.
And at this very moment.
Susanoo's rear troops are setting up camp and preparing to cook.
Wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys.
The sight of a million troops stationed at the same time was truly spectacular.
Bonfires were lit one after another.
Inside Susanoo's military camp tent.
Tamayori-hime, Ichisui-jima-hime, Kōse-ri-hime... these beauties are dancing gracefully in the street while drinking music.
Susanoo, accompanied by a dozen or so warriors, drank wine while admiring the graceful dance.
"We wish His Majesty the Emperor a swift and successful attack on Kyoto." Toyotomi Hideyoshi said, holding a sake cup with a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum.
"With His Majesty the Emperor's expedition, the million-strong army will surely sweep through the enemy like dry leaves, and the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty will be utterly helpless."
Oda Nobunaga also started flattering him.
Honda Shukatsu stood up: "Your Majesty, according to our scout cavalry reports, we are very likely to encounter the army of the Great Dynasty tomorrow afternoon."
"Your Majesty, Honda Sugatsu, I have pledged allegiance to you in hopes of gaining favor and recognition."
Honda Toshin made no attempt to hide his thoughts: "In tomorrow's battle, I want to strike first."
"I will definitely beat them to a pulp, leaving them utterly humiliated."
Ueyama Tsumi: "His Majesty the Emperor commands a million soldiers, and I, though unworthy, am willing to serve as the vanguard."
Shibata Morie reached out and touched his shiny bald head: "His Majesty the Emperor's army will surely sweep away the Great Xia army, and I am willing to take the initiative to fight."
Tachibana Dōsetsu: "Your Majesty, we should discuss how to deal with the Great Xia people. According to my scouts, the Great Xia Dynasty has mobilized two to three hundred thousand troops."
Tente Riki: "They only have two or three hundred thousand soldiers. How can they possibly compete with our million-strong army? If they fight us, it's like throwing eggs against a rock."
Murong Canglong said with a fawning expression, "Indeed, the enemy is utterly vulnerable. Your Majesty, the army will surely sweep them away like tigers descending the mountain."
Under the barrage of flattery, Susanoo became quite smug.
"The soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty are already easily defeated. Tomorrow, we will launch a full-scale attack and there is no need to distinguish between vanguards."
"Honda wins."
"Your subordinate is here."
"We must drive the people to attack the army of the Great Xia Dynasty first thing tomorrow morning; there can be no delay."
"Hi..."
"The other teams will speed up their journey tomorrow morning. I need to finish this battle within two days. I want to kill all the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty and not let a single one escape."
"Hi..."
Susanoo stood up and raised his glass: "Everyone, cheers for tomorrow's victory."
"cheers……"
The hundreds of dancers danced with increasing enthusiasm.
Just then, shouts of battle erupted from outside.
The entire ground was shaking.
The guards at the door rushed in.
"Your Majesty, this is terrible! We are under attack!"
Susanoo suddenly smashed the sake cup in his hand on the ground.
"A bunch of rabble, yet they dare to attack me. Bring me my armor; I want to personally lead the charge and slay the enemy."
Soon, more guards rushed in: "Your Majesty, don't worry, those rushing in are just people who are so hungry they're practically blind."
Upon hearing this, Susanoo sat down and glanced at Amenotejikami: "Amenotejikami, it was you who protected these people back then."
"If we had killed them back then, we could have prevented this from happening again."
Amaterasu Riki: "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. They're just a bunch of rabble. Even if all those millions of people rushed over, we wouldn't be afraid."
Standing in the military camp, you could see people from all over the mountains rushing over.
These people all carried torches, and the mountain turned into a sea of fire.
These civilians charged forward at an extremely fast pace.
Now that the people have eaten and drunk their fill, they only think about one thing: their reward.
The despicable acts committed by Susanoo's subordinates have enraged the people.
"kill."
"Charge into the military camp and leave no one alive."
“Cut off Susanoo’s head.”
"To avenge my deceased loved ones."
Susanoo sat down, and he could feel the ground shaking.
The people rushed closer and closer, and their speed increased.
The shouts of the people were deafening.
On a mountain dozens of miles away, Jiang Tian and Han Xin stood there.
Li Cunxiao, Zhang Dingbian, Xiang Yu, and Li Yuanba stood on the left and right respectively.
“Give these scoundrels some food, and they’ll be willing to risk their lives for you.” Jiang Tiantian sneered. Back in 1939, the Japanese used this tactic to get those disaster victims to take over a large amount of Chinese territory.
Jiang Tian was simply giving him a taste of his own medicine.
"The train has already set off," Han Xin said, pointing to the train in the distance.
Jiang Tian nodded.
Looking at the torches below the mountain, which resembled a sea of fire, Li Yuanba felt an urge to join in.
"My lord, I request permission to go into battle."
"You guys don't need to go fight. Give them a chance to gain some merit."
Jiang Tian then held up two fingers: "You should all know that my soldiers are rewarded with two hundred taels of silver, a house, and ten acres of fertile land for every enemy they kill."
“You few people don’t need that much silver, nor that much fertile land and houses for the time being.”
Xiang Yu: "My lord, we don't need those houses. Just give them, the land, and the maids to our men."
We just want to kill those Japanese traitors in a good, satisfying way.
Zhang Dingbian: "My lord, I just want to kill these people from Dongjing to repay your kindness in recognizing my talent."
Li Cunxiao pointed the Yuwang Divine Spear in his hand forward: "My lord, I just want to go down and stretch my muscles. Staying here will make me useless."
Jiang Tian: "If you want to fight, wait until tomorrow."
"Now is the time for their people and Japanese samurai to fight to the death. No matter which side suffers heavy losses, it will be a great thing for us."
I'd love for them to run out of energy on their own.
"Listen up, everyone! Take out your binoculars and enjoy this spectacle. You don't see many people battling like this."
Jiang Tian turned to look at Shen Lian: "After this battle, I will head straight for the Liao and Xianbei. Send a Jinyiwei to deliver a message to Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao, saying that I plan to meet her alone in the next couple of days."
"My lord, do you intend to go to the meeting alone? It's too dangerous. The Khitans are all brave and fierce."
"Do as I tell you. The Khitans are not to be trifled with, but do you think I'm easy to mess with?"
"Yes... I will make the arrangements immediately. The people who will see us off will depart tonight."
Jiang Tian didn't say anything, and continued to look into the distance with his binoculars.
"Get me some chairs. Let's sit down, have some barbecue and drinks, and watch the show down the mountain."
Ling Yunzhi and Chen Feilong found more than a dozen chairs and placed them on the hillside.
Jiang Tian and his dozen or so friends ate barbecue and drank beer.
