On the other hand, Xu Da was quite satisfied with the results of the nearly one hour battle after the Wei army won.
Almost 30,000 people were wiped out in one hour, but this was far from enough.
Looking at the Japanese troops not far away, who had once again formed a large barrier with their bodies, Xu Da hurriedly said to the messenger beside him: "Go and tell Fu Youde not to let the soldiers charge blindly and lose their lives. Ask him to disperse the soldiers and push our dozens of cannons into the range."
Another concise order to push the cannon into range. Everyone knew what he wanted to do.
About a quarter of an hour later, dozens of cannons were lined up again.
The sound of cannons had not yet been heard, but the Japanese camp was already in chaos.
All the Japanese soldiers knew what was going to happen next. The shields in their hands might be able to block the arrows and swords of the Wei army, but they were completely unable to withstand the cannonballs made of cast iron. At the very least, those things would make a hole the size of a bowl when hitting their bodies.
The rumbling sound of cannons rang out again, and Musashi's heart began to hang in the air.
Those Japanese soldiers holding shields in the front were just as Xu Da had imagined. The heavy shells first hit the shields in their hands, then passed through the shields and hit their bodies, followed by a cloud of blood mist visible to the naked eye.
All the Japanese troops knew that if they continued like this, they would be defeated in less than half an hour.
A Japanese general reminded Musashi again: "Marshal, now is not the time to hesitate. Look at the situation outside. Our morale is not high at the moment. If the Wei army takes the lead in launching a full-scale charge, we will inevitably suffer a large-scale defeat. Once the army is dispersed, it will be difficult to form any combat power."
"To fight or to retreat, if we don't make a choice now, it will be too late."
Musashi's mind is now confused and dazed.
He now deeply regrets having used political means to obtain the position of Grand Marshal of the Dongying Expeditionary Force.
If he had known that the war in Middle-earth would be so difficult, he would never have come to this place even if he died.
"Marshal, make a decision quickly."
"Marshal, make a decision quickly."
Several more generals urged Musashi.
At this point, Musashi knew he couldn't delay any longer.
He turned to look at the many Japanese generals: "My fellow generals, now that things have come to this, it is all within my calculations. There is a saying in China that goes, 'Arrogant soldiers will surely be defeated.'"
"The Wei army is now arrogant. We have suffered a few defeats before, and the Wei army must be extremely arrogant. Now is the time for us to show our power."
"The Emperor, Your Majesty".
"Long live……".
Musashi raised his hands high.
The Japanese soldiers present were stunned for a moment, and then had to follow suit and do these useless things: "Long live, long live, long live..."
After shouting a few "Long live the emperor", Musashi and many generals came to the front of the battle.
However, at this moment, a Japanese general led a warhorse in front of Musashi.
Musashi was a little confused.
The general said, "Marshal, aren't you going to lead the charge yourself?"
"Baga," Musashi said loudly, "When did I say I would lead the charge?"
"I will support you from the rear first. Unless it is the most critical moment, I will not charge into the enemy's territory myself."
Many Japanese generals widened their eyes. We are the ones who are leading the way to death, and you are still standing still?
Musashi also noticed those unfriendly looks, so he drew the sword at his waist and said, "Baga, our Japanese expeditionary force is in danger now. This is not the time to hesitate. You guys charge first, and I will support you."
"Press, give it to me..."
With Musashi's roar, even if these Japanese generals looked down on him, they had to launch a charge.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers rushed forward.
In just this moment, Musashi was extremely nervous. Once the general attack began, there was absolutely no possibility of stopping.
Victory or failure depends on this one move.
On the other side, a young general of the Wei army said: "General, the Japanese army's general attack has begun."
"I thought these Japanese people didn't have the courage to launch an attack."
Xu Da laughed and said, "The Japanese commander is a man whose brain is half a beat slower than others. He is only launching the general attack now. How much chance does he have of winning?"
"Send an order to Fu Youde and Feng Sheng in front: anyone who retreats will be killed. Before dawn tomorrow, you must break through the Japanese army's camp."
…
That night, we were more than 200 miles away from Ningde.
Zhang Wuji's troops had already rested, but at this moment, a carriage was still shaking violently.
Zhao Min came to the carriage with a smile, and then lifted the curtain outside without any hesitation.
Zhou Zhiruo exclaimed: "Who, don't look."
Zhao Min said with a smile: "You vixen, I have what you have, who wants to look at you."
Then she turned her gaze to Zhang Wuji: "You, my enemy, are really restless even for a moment."
Zhang Wuji said embarrassedly: "Min'er, I begged Zhiruo for a long time before she agreed tonight."
Zhao Min laughed and said, "Who wants to listen to your nonsense? I know I shouldn't disturb you under such circumstances, but the time is almost here."
"According to my scouts' report, Xu Da fought fiercely with the Japanese army yesterday. I believe the real decisive battle has already begun. We are still more than 200 miles away from the Ningde battlefield. It's time to speed up our journey."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji wanted to ask if we could wait another hour.
But he never said such shameless words.
If he really said it out loud, Zhou Zhiruo beside him would probably fight him to the death.
"I understand. Turn your head and stop looking," Zhou Zhiruo said shyly.
Zhao Min looked at her with a wicked smile and said, "Fox spirit, do you want me to give you another hour?"
As she spoke, Zhao Min pulled off the clothes that Zhou Zhiruo was covering her chest.
Zhou Zhiruo was really panicked: "No, don't."
Zhao Min said with a smile: "No? What do you mean no? Don't you want to stop?"
Zhou Zhiruo's cheeks were almost bleeding from embarrassment.
Zhang Wuji said, "Min'er, you are not allowed to bully Zhiruo like this. Return the clothes to her quickly."
Zhao Min laughed and said, "Zhang Wuji, are you being mean to me?"
"The war is imminent, and now is the time when you need me."
"I won't make it difficult for you. Just let the naked vixen next to you call me sister, and I will return the clothes to her."
Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "Don't even think about it, you are taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
