Xiangcheng.
After several attacks, they still failed to capture the city.
The casualties of Qin's soldiers remained high.
However, the situation in Japan is not going well either.
During the gap between the enemy and our side, the Japanese general Honda Tadakatsu called out to Huo Guang:
"Marshal Huo, I've long heard of your great name! I heard your name when you attacked Yizhou.
When I was young, I once visited the State of Qin, and I have some connection with your country.
Now that you are attacking the city, I'm afraid you won't gain anything. How about both sides stop fighting and make peace?"
The fact that he said this could only mean one thing, that is, he was a coward.
He didn't know if he could hold on if he continued like this.
Huo Guang was very uncomfortable listening to the Chinese language spoken with a genuine Japanese accent.
"Stop the fucking nonsense! You want me to withdraw my troops? You're not qualified enough!
So many of my brothers were killed or injured. How can I withdraw my troops just because of your words?
You and I are both generals, we should know the principle of pursuing victory and making a lasting effort!"
Honda Tadakatsu continued, "Marshal Huo, how about we both cease fire for a day?
Take advantage of this day to consider whether to retreat or continue the siege."
Hearing this, Huo Guang sneered and responded, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?
The war has come to this point, you and I both know that this war can be ended in a few hours, why should I delay it?
Do you think I would joke about the lives of my own men?"
The enemy generals wanted to cease fire for a day so that they could wait for reinforcements to arrive.
When the reinforcements arrive, Honda Tadakatsu will tear off his mask and turn into a devil who devours people without leaving any bones.
At that moment, Huo Guang's tens of thousands of people would all become dumplings of the Japanese pirates.
I would rather believe what a man says in bed, or what a woman says when she's shopping, than what a Japanese pirate says.
This is true even in peacetime.
Honda Tadakatsu frowned deeply and said, "Marshal Huo, you should think twice..."
Before he could finish his words, Huo Guang gave the order, "Bring all the catapults in our army and smash them hard for me!"
"Marshal Huo!"
Honda Tadakatsu also wanted to try to persuade the Qin army not to attack the city for the time being.
This is his only chance to turn defeat into victory.
But how could Huo Guang give him this opportunity?
"If your Majesty's adopted son, Lu Bu, were here, I would have him shoot this birdman through the air!"
After leaving these words, Huo Guang returned to the camp.
Afterwards, the Qin army soldiers began to attack the city again.
Moreover, the intensity of this siege was far more intense than before.
...
Outskirts of Tokyo Prefecture.
Beside a stream.
This stream would gradually evolve into Lake Okutama in later generations in Japan.
Huo Qubing's troops have already arrived here.
They crossed mountains and rivers, killing any Japanese pirates they encountered, completely avoiding the eyes and ears of the Japanese army.
Until we arrived here, Tokyo Prefecture still hadn't noticed anything.
Huo Qubing ordered his soldiers to rest here.
Seeing the intense heat, he said, "All troops, listen up! Take off your armor!"
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers were at a loss. They were about to attack the Japanese capital, but at this time they were asked to take off their armor.
Why?
Although they didn't know it, they still did it.
Because at this moment, Huo Qubing's prestige in their hearts was like that of a god.
"From now on, this lake is yours!"
Huo Qubing was extremely serious at first, but when he saw the soldiers taking off their armor one after another, he smiled.
The soldiers need to relieve stress and even more so, they need to cool down.
Therefore, there is nothing better than taking a dip in the lake to relieve your fatigue.
As soon as the words fell.
The generals guessed the hidden meaning of Huo Qubing's words, so they jumped into the lake without any hesitation.
As the sound of "splash" continued to be heard, more and more soldiers began to wipe their bodies in the lake water.
Even the war horses began to follow their swimming pace.
They came to the lake, either to drink water or to take a bath in the lake.
Soon, Huo Qubing was surprised to find that the lake water here was fresh water, the kind that can be drunk!
Can be used to replenish water sources.
He took the jars of wine he had brought with him to the lakeside and said to all the soldiers:
"My fellow comrades, I am grateful to you for following me through thick and thin!
Since we left Yizhou and marched here, we have encountered several battles and countless dangerous and bumpy roads. A total of four thousand soldiers are buried here!
It is I, the general, who am sorry for them, because I once swore that I would take them back to our hometown, our homeland!
Unfortunately, this oath cannot be fulfilled, because it is hard to say whether even those of us who are still alive can continue to live.
However, this general will accompany you to the end of this journey. The warriors of the Great Qin are unparalleled in their bravery and strength!"
As his voice fell, the flames of passion gradually ignited again in the tired hearts of the soldiers.
This is the charm of Huo Qubing.
They are willing to follow him in his battles, even if it means dying in a foreign land where no one cares about them!
"General Huo is invincible!"
I don't know who shouted.
Then, the soldiers began to speak one after another, "General Huo is mighty!"
"General Huo is the bravest among the three armies!"
Such sounds come one after another.
After a moment, Huo Qubing continued, "I wish our soldiers and our country will live forever!"
