Inside the Japanese army camp, Musashi was already sweating profusely.
He really couldn't understand why no matter how many troops he invested, he couldn't change the current situation.
This time, he was leading 200,000 Japanese soldiers in the invasion of Middle-earth. These 200,000 men were at least half of Japan's combat power. How could it have been so long, less than two months, that they had ended up like this?
Musashi was filled with hatred. He hated why the Wei army soldiers were so brave. He hated why that damn Zhang Wuji, who was obviously Zhu Yuanzhang's enemy, refused to cooperate with him and even massacred the envoys from Japan twice.
He really couldn't understand the world of Middle-earth.
At this moment, a general of the Japanese army reminded him again: "Marshal, look at the current situation. Although it is still in a stalemate, our team is obviously at a disadvantage."
"Our team is being pushed back little by little, you should lead the entire army to charge."
In response to the suggestions of his subordinates, Musashi shouted again: "Baga, you bunch of idiots, things are not as simple as you think."
"Look at the position in front of you. There are already more than 200,000 people fighting. If you want to win now, it doesn't depend on who has more soldiers, but who has braver soldiers."
"In the world of Middle-earth, there is a book called The Art of War by Sun Tzu, which says, 'Be swift as the wind, be slow as the forest, be aggressive as fire, and be immovable as a mountain.'"
"Now, the reason why the soldiers in front have not collapsed is mainly because of my unwavering determination."
"As long as my flag is still standing here, as long as my central army is still there, the soldiers in front will definitely think that I have a backup plan. In this way, even if they are at a slight disadvantage at the moment, their morale will still not collapse."
After hearing this explanation, the Japanese general was a little confused. He didn't know how to refute Musashi.
The Middle-earth Sun Tzu's Art of War said so many things, but you only remember this one sentence.
…
On the other side, in a forest more than ten miles away from the battlefield.
The two brothers Zuo Jing and You Jing really managed to survive a life-or-death struggle. Compared with Koin, Kameda and Sakagami Kojiro, it is not easy for the two brothers to survive until now.
Fortunately, both of them had superb swordsmanship, otherwise, they would have died on the spot.
After escaping death, You Jing smiled at Zuo Jing and said, "Brother, we are finally alive. The Japanese swordsmanship that we have practiced for so many years is finally useful."
Zuo Jingyan said: "What is there to be happy about? Both you and I, brothers, will be nailed to the pillar of shame in Japan."
After hearing this, You Jing laughed and said, "Let it be the pillar of shame. It's better than death. What's more, the people nailed on the pillar of shame are definitely not just us two brothers. The first person on the pillar of shame in our Great Japan must be Musashi."
"Musashi placed our Japanese army of nearly 200,000 in such a desperate situation, without even a strategic buffer. That's all, but the most crucial thing is that even in this desperate situation, he didn't have the determination to die. It's not just him, you and me, but also Xiaoquan, Kameda and others. Alas... With generals like this, it's no wonder that Japan is undefeated."
"You and I, brothers, can no longer care about the soldiers who are still fighting. What we should think about now is how to return to Japan and how to protect our families after returning to Japan."
"Okay, well said, hahahaha..." After You Jing said this, three figures appeared in front of them.
The three people were Koinoo, Kameda, and Sakagaki Kojiro, who they believed had been loyal to the emperor.
Zuo Jing and You Jing were stunned on the spot.
"You, why are you here?"
The puppy said: "Left well, right well, then why are you two here too?"
They looked at each other in silence, with tears in their eyes. These five people could be considered to be old friends meeting in a foreign land.
After a few people looked at each other, they felt that they had met too late.
However, the two brothers Zuo Jing and You Jing were obviously of a higher class, because they were not scared to the point of pulling down their pants.
After the five of them chatted for a while, Xiao Quan patted them on the shoulders and said, "Zuo Jing and You Jing, don't be discouraged, brothers. The current situation is indeed very pessimistic for our Japanese army."
"But if the Dongying army is defeated, it may not be a bad thing for us."
Zuo Jing was a little surprised: "General Xiaoquan, what do you mean?"
The puppy said with a smile: "This time our great Japan has sent 200,000 troops to the Middle Earth, and there are hundreds of generals and officers accompanying them. Among these hundreds of people, how many can return to Japan alive?"
"If the five of us return alive when the entire army is almost wiped out, it will only prove that we are capable people. His Majesty the Emperor will not punish us but will make use of us."
Zuo Jing widened his eyes: "General Xiaoquan, what kind of nonsense is this? Will things be as you said?"
The puppy said with a smile: "In this battle, hundreds of our Japanese generals and officers died in Middle-earth. Among those who returned alive, only a few of us have experience in fighting against people from Middle-earth. Based on this point, the emperor will not take our lives. Of course, there is another key factor if we want to survive, and that is Musashi cannot return alive..."
Xiaoquan said a lot of weird ideas, but in the end, Sakai Youjing, Kameda and Sakagami Kojiro all thought they made sense.
Then, Kameda asked: "General Xiaoquan, you are right. When will we return to Japan?"
"I have so many concubines and geishas at home, waiting for me to comfort them."
The little dog looked at him and said coldly: "Baga, men from our great Japan must keep their word. Didn't you say that you would give all your concubines, geishas, and sisters from Japan to me? Do you want to cheat now?"
Kameda quickly said: "No, no, I am content as long as I am alive. How dare I forget what I promised General Kouquan? If I need anything in the future, I can find concubines and geishas later."
…
At midnight that evening, after two hours of fighting, the Wei army had suppressed the Japanese army to the edge of their own camp.
A Japanese general said to Musashi again: "General, our soldiers will soon be unable to hold on. If we don't push forward the tens of thousands of troops in the camp, we will never have a chance to turn the situation around."
Musashi was still hesitating, but the general continued, "General, your strategy of standing still like a mountain really doesn't work."
"The Wei army has reached our doorstep and is about to rush into our camp. If you don't stand still, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame in Japan."
