After hearing this, Xu Da first sighed, and then said, "It's almost the same on my side."
"The Japanese did run too fast, but it doesn't necessarily mean that we can't catch up with them on horseback. It's just that we have been traveling for several days in a row and happened to meet them at noon today when we were exhausted."
"The man is tired, and the horse is tired too."
"We chased them for more than an hour, and I killed about three thousand Japanese. Plus, we beheaded tens of thousands of people in the previous battle, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Afterwards, Xu Da instructed the soldiers beside him: "Pass the order down, let the soldiers rest here tonight, eat and drink enough, and then have a good sleep, and then chase the Japanese the next day."
The soldier hurried to pass on the order, but Lan Yu asked: "General, if this is the case, can we still catch up with them? After all this night, I'm afraid no one knows where they have run to."
Xu Da said helplessly: "So what? We can't catch up now."
"Let's rest first. Those who don't know how to rest won't be able to fight. What's more, the Japanese are just monks who can run away but the temple cannot. It is said that Japan has built more than 300 large ships for this invasion of China. I'm afraid that now, there are more than 100,000 Japanese troops along the coast."
"Today we have only beheaded ten thousand people. There will be many more battles to fight in the future."
Lan Yu was helpless and could only nod in agreement.
However, at this moment, a group of soldiers brought dozens of Japanese geishas into Xu Da's central military tent.
Xu Da was stunned for a moment: "These, what are these things?"
The soldier escorting the Japanese geisha said, "General, you have been fighting for a whole day and night, and you must be exhausted. These Japanese girls are all pretty good looking. I thought you could pick three or five of them and have them stay in your tent tonight to relieve your fatigue."
After hearing this, Xu Da's eyes widened immediately: "Bullshit, how can these Japanese women be worthy of me to relieve my fatigue, not to mention me, even our soldiers are not worthy of me."
"These Japanese are short in stature and you can tell at a glance that they haven't evolved completely. They are just barbarians. Don't you find them disgusting? Quick, drag them down and chop them off."
"Wait a minute," Lan Yu said with a distressed look on his face, "Marshal, this, isn't this such a pity?"
Xu Da said angrily in Hechi: "What a pity! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking."
"There are so many beautiful girls among us Han people, and you are the general of an army. If you can take down those women under Zhang Wuji, it can be regarded as your ability. But if your affair with the Japanese women gets out, our emperor will kill you."
"Hurry, pull him down and chop him off."
…
There are generals in the army like a mountain. If Xu Da says to cut them down, who would dare to object?
Although Lan Yu felt a little reluctant, he was powerless to do anything.
Those Japanese geishas were already crying their eyes out, and they kept begging for mercy in Japanese. Unfortunately, Xu Da couldn't understand what they were saying at all.
…
Today's battle lasted until around midnight, when Xiao Quan and others dared to stop and rest.
Of his 20,000 Japanese troops, only 20 to 30 were following him.
The rest of the team was all killed and dispersed.
One of the generals, named Kameda, cried bitterly, "General Xiaoquan, we retreated too hastily. I'm afraid the geishas we brought from Japan have already, have already..."
After Kameda said this, he cried even more sadly.
To be honest, don't say that Kameda is sad. In fact, Xiaoquan is also very sad. After all, he also brought several geishas from Japan. Those geishas were bought by him at a high price. Unfortunately, they are all gone.
But now that things have come to this, there is nothing that can be changed.
After the little dog pondered for a moment, he suddenly stood up and said righteously: "Soldiers, women are nothing. If they are lost, they are lost. After we and Marshal Musashi take over Middle-earth, we will have as many women as we want."
"As for now, although our women have fallen into the hands of Wei's army, they are still making contributions to our great Japan. At the very least, they can consume the physical strength of Wei's army."
…
Xiaoquan thought what he said made sense, but he didn't know that among the dozens of soldiers who followed him, only he and Kameda brought geishas from Japan. As for the other soldiers, they could only stare blankly.
Xiao Quan was a little embarrassed when he saw that his opinions were not responded to, so he continued: "Soldiers, victory and defeat are common in the military. We are all people who do great things, and we cannot lose the morale of our soldiers because of those women."
"From now on, no one is allowed to talk about topics related to women."
"Kameda, you are a well-known lecher. If you dare to disrupt the morale of the army again, I will punish you by military law."
After hearing this, Kameda quickly shut his mouth.
The little dog was defeated too miserably today, and he didn't want the little dog to use his head as an object to boost the morale of the troops.
…
Xu Da won his first battle against the Japanese.
In fact, according to his thinking, today's battle cannot be considered a victory.
After killing 10,000 Japanese soldiers, their own casualties reached 5,000. This is simply a shame.
If the soldiers had not been exhausted physically and mentally when fighting the Japanese, the battle would never have been so difficult and tense.
But at least we chopped off 10,000 Japanese heads, and this achievement can be barely boasted about.
…
Five days later, Zhu Yuanzhang's hundreds of thousands of follow-up troops had withdrawn to the south of the Yangtze River.
Both Northern Expeditions ended in failure.
During the first Northern Expedition, he even helped Zhang Wuji.
If he had not fought desperately to annihilate Zhao Min's 200,000-strong army during the first Northern Expedition, Zhang Wuji would probably not be able to recruit Zhao Min into his army now.
Sometimes life is like this, one wrong step, all wrong. It seems to be correct, but the result is not good, so he is wrong.
…
Early that morning, when Zhang Wuji was still in the arms of Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun.
Zhou Zhiruo suddenly pushed the door open and walked out.
"My enemy, stop making trouble. According to the report from the scouts, a cavalry dressed as Mongolians was spotted a hundred miles away."
Zhang Wuji slowly opened his eyes and said lazily: "Zhao Min, I can't believe she would show up in such a place."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly: "My dear, I thought you would be so excited that you would talk nonsense after hearing this news."
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "How is that possible? Some time ago, I was hoping that Zhao Min could do something, but now, I don't really count on her."
"It would be best if she could come, but if she doesn't come, the Japanese have already played her role."
