"Grand Commandant!" Zhang Erhe exclaimed excitedly, "The main force of the Osaka navy has been annihilated! Should we...?"
"Of course we must press our advantage!" the wicked man sneered. "Order the entire army to land. Remember, this is not an ordinary campaign, but an extermination of the entire race! Leave not a single survivor!"
A massive massacre ensued.
After landing, the Qin army immediately split into several groups and advanced into the city. Whenever they encountered resistance, they used fire arrows to bombard the city before charging in and massacring the enemy.
The streets quickly turned into hell.
The warriors who attempted to resist were killed by a hail of arrows, and the hiding civilians were dragged out and executed. The Qin army, like the Grim Reaper, was determined to wipe out all life on this land!
"My lord, spare our lives! We are willing to surrender..." A group of Japanese knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Surrender?" the Qin soldier sneered. "The Grand Commandant has ordered that not a single one be spared!"
A flash of blade, a spurt of blood. These Japanese didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy before being hacked to death.
Some people tried to hide in the shrine, praying for divine protection. The Qin army set it ablaze, reducing the entire shrine to ashes. Those who hid inside were burned alive, their screams echoing through the sky.
More people hid in the cellars, hoping to escape. The Qin army poured oil into them, blocking all the exits. Piteous cries echoed through the thick smoke, but no one paid them any attention.
"Reporting to the Grand Commandant!" an officer reported, "We've discovered a group of Japanese trying to escape by sea..."
"Chase them!" the wicked man roared. "We must not let them get the news out. This Grand Commandant will turn all of Japan into a wasteland!"
Warships immediately set out, pursuing and intercepting the small boats at sea. Those small boats trying to escape hadn't gone far before they were covered by a dense rain of arrows.
The sea was soon littered with corpses, and the blood stained the waters crimson. This was the fate of the traitors, forever slumbering in these waters!
As night fell, Osaka Castle was reduced to ruins.
Corpses lay strewn everywhere, and blood flowed down the streets. The air was thick with the stench of blood and burning flesh, making one want to vomit.
"Take a headcount!"
"Reporting to the Grand Commandant, in this battle, over 50,000 Japanese soldiers were killed; not a single one survived!"
The wicked man nodded: "Send the order to pile the corpses at the city gate. This Grand Commandant wants the heads of these Japanese to guard this sea area!"
Soon, the bodies were piled up into a small mountain.
The Qin army poured oil on it and set the massive altar ablaze. The raging flames illuminated the entire sky, proclaiming the new masters of this land!
"Give the order to the entire army!" The wicked man watched this scene unfold. "At dawn tomorrow, continue your advance towards the next objective. This Grand Commandant will ensure the complete annihilation of these Japanese...!"
