Of the 50,000 soldiers that Musashi first sent to Zhejiang, there are still 46,000 of them.
After all, he was the Grand Marshal of the Japanese Expeditionary Force. Even if his professional ability was poor, he would not have dreamed that the 4,000 people he had left behind in ambush could completely wipe out the pursuers of Xu Da's vanguard army.
He just hoped that the 4,000 people left behind could delay time a little, as long as they could stop the pursuit of Xu Da's troops. As for how many of them could survive after completing the mission, it depended on their own abilities.
…
The Japanese came from afar and had very few horses with them. Only a few generals were qualified to get a war horse.
Even though they had conquered the entire Fujian Province, they had not obtained many war horses. The reason was not that Zhu Yuanzhang had made two northern expeditions, and all the war horses in the entire Jiangnan region had been requisitioned under his command.
At this moment, the Japanese had no horses. Not to mention whether they would lose the initiative in the field battle, their mobility would definitely be greatly reduced.
…
Most of the horses in Middle-earth come from the north. There is no man-made reason for this, it is just because most horses like cold weather. Therefore, since ancient times, there have been more horses in the north and fewer horses in the south. It is not that the people in power in the south do not want to raise horses on a large scale, but because of environmental reasons, large-scale breeding is impossible.
From the perspective of war horses, Zhang Wuji's territory was in the north from the very beginning. Although he had few soldiers, he had a large number of war horses under his command. In addition, he took over everything from Zhao Min, so Zhang Wuji's advantage in excitement was far greater than others. This was also the reason why he and Zhao Min were able to march deep into the heart of Jiangnan alone.
…
As for the Japanese, Musashi didn't know at the moment that the 4,000 soldiers he had left behind to ambush had all been beheaded. If he learned of this news, he would probably be very angry again.
"Hurry, go back to Fujian quickly."
"Fujian is now part of our great Japan. As long as we retreat to Fujian, even if we are fighting on our home turf, as long as we return to Fujian, we will be able to decide the outcome in one battle."
…
Musashi continued to cheer up the running Japanese troops.
However, at this moment, the little dog ran over and said, "General, shouldn't you leave an ambush along the way? The vanguard of the Wei army is all cavalry. Even if our soldiers run faster, I'm afraid they will be caught up soon. Once they are caught, the remaining 40,000 troops will probably not be able to return to Fujian."
…
Some words mean one thing when you think them, but another when someone else says them.
"Baga," Musashi cursed again: "You, have no conscience. I have left 4,000 ambush troops last night. Do you think the Wei army can eliminate my 4,000 ambush troops in one day?"
Xiaoquan was also speechless: "General, what I am worried about now is not whether the 4,000 ambush troops we left behind can hold off the Wei army for a day and a night. What I am worried about now is whether those 4,000 ambush troops have been eaten by the Wei army."
"You know, two days ago you personally left 5,000 people to stop the Wei army, but in the end, they were eaten up within a few hours. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to be in such a hurry now."
After hearing this, Musashi raised his hand and whipped the puppy: "Baka".
"You dare to do what you did before? If it weren't for you and Kameda's incompetence, our 5,000-strong Japanese expeditionary force would have been wiped out by the Wei army in just one night."
The little dog, having been whipped, already felt some resentment towards Musashi.
He stopped talking. He had good intentions, but was always treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.
The Japanese army continued to gallop, but Musashi on horseback was also a little worried.
What the puppy said may not sound pleasant at first, but when you think about it carefully, it does make some sense.
So, even though it was a bit embarrassing, Musashi still left 3,000 ambush troops along the way.
…
Five days later, at night, after dinner, Zhang Wuji came to Zhao Linger's room.
At this moment, Zhao Linger was taking a bath, and the person serving her was not a maid, but Su Tanmei.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are here. I am here to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
A lewd and evil smile immediately appeared on Zhang Wuji's face.
Su Tanmei has been following Zhang Wuji for some time. Every time she sees this slightly obscene smirk, she feels a little weak in the knees.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I believe you are here to see the Queen tonight. I will leave now."
Su Tanmei wanted to escape, but Zhang Wuji would never give her the chance.
Zhang Wuji immediately held her in his arms.
Then she asked Zhao Linger, "Sister, this girl wants to escape, what do you mean?"
At this moment, Zhao Linger is like a lotus blooming in the water. The word "beautiful" alone is not enough to describe her. She looks so alluring.
Zhao Linger said to Su Tanmei with a wicked smile: "Sister Su, stop struggling, as if you really want to leave."
"Stay and serve His Majesty with me, the queen. It is your blessing."
"You stand here for a while. The young master and I will take a bath first."
Then, Zhao Linger looked at Zhang Wuji with her charming eyes and said, "Young Master, come in. I have been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come, the water will get cold."
…
A moment later, the extremely charming and lingering sound was heard from Zhao Linger's room.
Outside the door, Yu Fei, Yang Buhui, and Wei Xiangjun were already staring with their eyes wide open.
On the other hand, Zhou Zhiruo, who was far away, looked at them with contempt: "A bunch of vixens, none of them is a good person."
"It's true that none of them are good, but aren't you the same?" Zhao Min's voice suddenly came from behind Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo turned her head and looked. Facing the person she hated the most, she often felt speechless.
"Hmph, you Mongolian vixen, I don't bother to pay attention to you."
As Zhou Zhiruo was about to leave, Zhao Min took light steps and blocked her way.
"Mongolian vixen?" Zhao Min laughed and said, "Good curse. I actually quite like this name."
"Get out of the way," Zhou Zhiruo said viciously.
Zhao Min smiled and said, "No, I won't let you. Tonight is an opportunity for me. Zhang Wuji is having fun with the Queen. Now, no one in the whole Luzhou can control me. I want to take this opportunity to teach you a lesson."
Zhou Zhiruo was shocked: "You, you dare."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "What is there that I am afraid of? You just need to tell me whether you dare or not. I will give you some face. Let's find a place where there is no one to practice. If you dare, come with me. If you don't dare, just respectfully call me sister."
