The killing was decisive, Kameda had become a pool of mud, with body parts scattered everywhere.
After seeing this scene, Inoue Yu also felt a little numb.
"Sasa, good job, Sasa-kun."
Sasaki also fled for several hours before arriving here. He came to Inoue Yu and looked at his scarred body. Although he wanted to stab him twice, he was hit at first and had to control his impulse.
"Marshal, I won't say anything more. Everyone is responsible for today's defeat, you and I. But Marshal, you have done everything you could. As for being carried away from the battlefield by that guy Kameda after being injured, it was not your intention."
"Let's just put all the blame on Kameda."
"Dongchuan County has a very important geographical location. It is a fortress for the Ming army's eastward advance. Before, we had an army of 200,000. If all of them were stationed here, it would definitely be safe. But now, whether we can defend this place and stop the Ming army from continuing to advance eastward depends half on human power and half on God's will."
Inoue Yuyan said: "Sasa-kun, how many people do we have now? How many soldiers do we have left?"
Sasaki said: "The soldiers fled in all directions, and during the day, the Ming army's light cavalry chased them all the way. It is difficult to count the number of casualties."
"As for my side, when I retreated before, I brought out more than 20,000 people. These 20,000 people are real living forces. Except for this day when we ran back and forth for a hundred miles, there was no loss in other places."
"Adding Kameda's infantry and the others gathered here, I estimate that there should be about 30,000 to 40,000 people, which is about the same as the number of Ming troops when we went to war with them."
Inoue Yuyan said: "The territory in the west is almost captured by the Ming army. Our soldiers, as long as they are still alive, will try their best to escape to the east."
"Dongchuan County may be able to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers."
"I am seriously injured. The defense of Dongchuan County will be temporarily handed over to Sasa-kun."
"If more of our defeated soldiers arrive here one after another, Zuo Zuo will need to strictly interrogate them and then let them into the city."
Sasaki smiled bitterly. It had to be said that since Inoue Yu lost his credentials as a man, his mind had become clearer. If he had not been so decadent in the early years and had been drained of his body by alcohol and sex, he might have really become a qualified marshal.
However, just as Sasaki was smiling bitterly, Inoue Yu grabbed his hand and said, "Sasaki-kun, I brought two concubines and two geishas with me. It's funny to say, I originally thought that I could use them to relax my tense nerves during the war, but now it seems that I can finally relax completely."
"Those women are useless to me, so I'll give them to Sasa-kun."
"You are my confidant. Although we were defeated in this battle, if we can hold on here, we can stop the Ming army from advancing eastwards. At least we can give an explanation to the Emperor."
"After this battle, as long as the situation is still okay, you can take all the concubines and women in my family."
After hearing this, Sasaki's eyes suddenly brightened up: "Marshal, are you serious?"
Inoue Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Sasa-kun, if I, Inoue Yu, had said this before today, I would definitely be joking. But now that things have come to this, what use is there for me to have a woman?"
Sasaki thought to himself, "That's right, you're already in this condition, wouldn't it be a waste to keep so many women at home?"
…
So, that night, even though Sasaki, who was not usually very lustful, still had some fun with several of Inoue Yu's women. After all, he had survived a disaster and he had to celebrate.
…
The next day, Zhao Min got up early before the sun rose. With the help of the dim light, she carefully took her hand away from Zhou Zhiruo.
After tidying up the clothes, he helped Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji tuck in the quilt.
Zhou Zhiruo was awakened slowly by this subtle movement. Seeing Zhao Min like this, she was still a little uncomfortable.
"You Mongolian fox, if you don't want to sleep anymore, just leave. Why do you have to be so attentive to me, as if no one cares about you."
Zhao Min laughed and said, "Isn't it just covering you with a blanket? It's not a big deal. How can it be considered as showing courtesy?"
"You and Zhang Wuji have a good sleep, I still have some things to deal with."
"If I'm done with you, you vixen, still want to stay in bed, I'll hug you."
As she spoke, Zhao Min pinched Zhou Zhiruo's pretty face.
But strangely enough, Zhou Zhiruo really let her do as she pleased.
…
After Zhao Min walked out of the central military tent, she asked the guards on duty to find all the generals in the army.
"Dozens of people gathered together again."
Zhao Min also said concisely: "Generals, you will have to work hard today."
"In yesterday's battle, we were not at an advantage in terms of numbers. Although we won, we let a lot of the Japanese troops escape."
"If these forces gather together, it will be a problem in the future."
"Just like we said yesterday, today, you will each lead your troops to sweep the surrounding area. But suddenly I feel that we should let you set off earlier. In this way, perhaps we can kill more defeated Japanese troops."
"I have already made arrangements in the kitchen. Breakfast will be ready in a quarter of an hour. After breakfast, you can go and do your work?"
"But we must also remember that our current combat-ready soldiers are still pitifully few compared to the Japanese. If we encounter one that we cannot defeat, we should not try to be too tough."
…
After Zhao Min gave the orders, all the generals and officers dispersed.
Yin Yewang said: "We just won a great victory. Is Zhao Min too anxious? She doesn't even let us get a good night's sleep."
Yang Xiao said: "Who made her handsome? If there is anyone stronger than Zhao Min among the old men in our Ming Cult, it will definitely not be her turn to be handsome."
King Yin Ye sighed and said, "Well, let's hurry up and eat. Yesterday, you and I led the light cavalry and killed more than 10,000 defeated Japanese soldiers."
"Let's search a little harder today. I'm not asking for too much. If we can kill another three or four thousand people, I'll be thankful."
…
Before the sun rose, the Ming army camp became bustling.
Zhao Linger came behind Zhao Min at some point and said, "Sister Min, you are quite diligent."
"We just won a big victory, and you didn't even say you could sleep a little longer."
"The young master slept with you last night. Did you let him succeed?"
Zhao Min said disdainfully: "Him? I didn't even let him touch me."
