Zhao Min said: "You are right. Before the decisive battle, we should not let the Japanese know our combat effectiveness. Let them think that we are the Ming army that can only run away."
"Soldiers should not feel aggrieved. During wartime, it is normal to view the enemy as strong or weak."
"Although it's a bit embarrassing that we are being chased by this group of unevolved monkeys, but when the decisive battle comes, you can still go crazy on the battlefield."
"We have less than 40,000 people, but we have to fight against 200,000 Japanese troops. On average, each of you will have to chop off several heads. Just don't embarrass me."
After hearing this, the captain smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We are all the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Fighting on the battlefield is our job. We will never embarrass Your Majesty."
…
The soldiers who accompanied them all wanted to kill people indiscriminately, but Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min rejected their suggestions.
This group of soldiers had originally thought that it would be great if the Japanese could really chase them for more than a hundred miles. If so, their emperor and empress would not stop them. However, the Japanese light cavalry gradually slowed down after just over forty miles.
It’s not that they don’t want to catch up, but they really can’t catch up.
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "Min'er, your Mongolian war horses are really powerful. They have run for dozens of miles and are still running faster and faster."
Zhao Min said proudly: "Of course, we Mongolians have some rules when training war horses."
"In spring and summer, when the grass and trees are lush, the war horses only eat and sleep every day. In autumn, when the horses are fat and strong, the grass for them is reduced by half, and the soldiers ride on them and gallop wildly every day."
"After two or three months, all the fat on the war horses' bodies was run off, and they became very hard-working. Even if a person of my weight sat on them, they could run continuously for two or three hours."
After Zhao Min said this, she seemed to have thought of something: "It's about the same time as yours."
Zhang Wuji was stunned for a moment: "About the same time as me?"
"Min'er, what do you mean?"
Zhao Min did not answer, but just smiled evilly. However, it was this evil smile that made Zhang Wuji understand the meaning of Zhao Min's words.
"Min'er, you, you actually compared your man to a horse!"
"How ridiculous! Even if I were a horse, do you have the ability to ride me for two hours?"
Zhao Minyan said: "Of course, do you think I'm given to you for free?"
"There is no horse in this world that I cannot control."
Zhang Wuji said: "Well, Min'er, remember what you said today. Later, I will let you ride as much as you want."
…
After speeding all the way, two days later, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min finally returned to their own camp.
After going back and forth, plus the time wasted in between, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min disappeared for a full six days, which made Zhou Zhiruo and the others very worried.
…
"You darling, why did you come back just now? Do you want to worry me to death?"
Zhang Wuji had just returned when he was scolded by Zhou Zhiruo. Of course, in response to Zhou Zhiruo's scolding, Zhang Wuji just responded with a hug.
Zhou Zhiruo was furious: "Stop it."
This time, she was really angry. In the past two or three days, she hardly slept, and her mind was full of Zhang Wuji.
Zhao Min on the side laughed and said, "Why? Do you need to worry about this enemy getting into trouble with me here?"
Zhou Zhiruo glared at her fiercely: "If you die, we can still live, but if something happens to Zhang Wuji, how can we survive?"
"It's okay if you are crazy alone, but why do you have to bring him along? Don't you know that he is the emperor now? Don't you know that he is responsible for the rise and fall of an entire country?"
"This is not the Ming Dynasty, but an enemy country. If anything happens because of your playfulness, I will skin you alive even if it means my death."
After hearing this, Zhao Min really wanted to retort, but after thinking it over, she gave up.
Firstly, Zhou Zhiruo was really angry, and secondly, this kind of thing really didn't require her and Zhang Wuji to do it themselves. In the final analysis, it was really because she was too playful.
Zhao Linger quickly patted Zhou Zhiruo on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's talk about this later."
…
Zhao Linger was a sensible person after all. Although she was very angry, she finally chose to be patient.
After all, with a powerful enemy at hand, now is not the time for women to quarrel.
"Sister Min'er, you've played and seen, but do you have any plans in mind?"
Zhao Minyan said: "Of course I have a plan."
"What Xiaoying said before was right. Wuji and I took a look. It is very likely that the Japanese will have 200,000 troops on this expedition."
"Most of them are infantry, and there are probably only a little over 10,000 cavalry."
"From this we can see that Japan has few horses."
"Moreover, even the Japanese infantry is hard to praise. Less than 30% of their infantry wear armor, and even the weapons in their hands are mostly just a ridiculous sword."
"That kind of weapon will have no substantial effect on our heavy armor."
Zhao Linger said: "In that case, sister has confidence."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Of course. In this battle, I dare not say that I can kill 200,000 Japanese soldiers, but I am confident that I can defeat them."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "In that case, I won't say much."
"I trust you too. When the war comes, I, Zhao Linger, will be willing to serve my sister."
…
On the other hand, Inoue Yu and Sasaki still regretted not catching Zhang Wuji and the others two days ago. Of course, this was because he didn't know that the people that day were Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min. Otherwise, they would not be regretting now, but feeling upset.
"Marshal, we are less than a hundred miles away from the Ming army."
"Shouldn't you take notice?"
It's less than a hundred miles away. If we use light cavalry, we can reach it in less than a day.
Inoue Yu was already having a headache, and he deliberately walked very slowly on the road, but the fact was that sooner or later there would be a moment of battle, and that moment was not far away.
Inoue Yu felt a little at a loss, but then he thought about it and realized that he still had an army of 200,000 on his side, so he forced himself to calm down.
"Sasa-kun, what do you think we should do?"
Inoue Yu threw the question to Sasaki again.
Looking at Sasaki again, although he also holds the rank of General of Staff, in the final analysis, how did his rank become so old? Others may not know, but doesn't he know it himself?
Sasaki also had a headache, but like Inoue Yu, thinking about the 200,000 troops behind him, he became more and more confident.
"Marshal, now that we have more soldiers and generals, we should take the initiative to attack."
