"Your Majesty, this place is no longer safe. How about we take shelter from the attack for a while?"
Saburo Abe looked anxious, but he was not only worried about Hirohito's safety, but also his own life.
But after hearing this, Hirohito Hiroichi just sneered in response: "Temporarily avoid the attack? Now the Ming army is surrounding the city on all sides, and the fire in Tokyo has not been extinguished yet. This is already the third line of defense. Where else can we hide to?"
Although there was a sneer on Hirohito Koichi's face, there was also a sense of despair.
But then again, who wouldn't be desperate at this point? Take Saburo Abe, for example. Since he dared to call himself Japan's "Little Zhuge Liang," he must have some brains.
Don't say that he had anticipated what would happen today when Tokyo was under siege. In fact, he had anticipated what would happen today as early as when Tokugawa Hideyoshi was defeated. However, he was a powerful man and could not escape Hirohito's sight at all times. Otherwise, he and his family would have fled Tokyo long ago. At that time, he would have taken some money and found a place in the mountains to live in seclusion, and he might have had a good end. But now, the situation has become like this. Once the city is broken, a powerful person like him would probably have a hard time surviving.
After thinking about this, Saburo Abe seemed to have a thousand words in his heart, but facing Hirohito Koichi's face with a sneer and despair, he didn't know how to speak.
After thinking it over, Saburo Abe could only say to the messenger behind him: "Pass the order down and mobilize some more soldiers. The third line of defense must be defended at all costs. There are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city. Even if it means sacrificing their lives, we must not let any mistakes happen to the third line of defense."
The messenger immediately took the order and left.
…
At this moment, Hirohito could indeed mobilize a lot of troops, and there were indeed more than 100,000 troops stationed in the city. No matter how powerful the Ming army was, it was impossible for it to destroy an army of more than 100,000 after taking down three city defenses. However, with the fire set by Chiba Sora, Tokyo City had been in chaos since daytime.
Those Japanese seemed to realize that the destruction of their country and their families was imminent. They knew that they could not defeat the Ming army, and they also knew that after the city was broken, the Ming army would certainly raise their butcher knives against them. So at this last moment, many of them did almost crazy things. They robbed the rich and powerful of their money and did some extraordinary things to those beautiful Japanese women.
Take Chiba Kong for example. If he was not a master with good cultivation and ninjutsu, she would have no idea how many people would have harmed him.
…
Looking at Yu Fei, she was naturally upset because she failed to end Hirohito Hongichi's life with both arrows. However, what was the use of being upset? With her strange body skills, she quietly broke away from Zhao Linger and other masters, and ventured to a more forward position. This in itself was a very dangerous thing. Therefore, after both arrows hit her, she quickly returned to Zhao Linger and others with her strange body skills.
After all, the Japanese on the third line of city defense still have an absolute advantage in numbers. Only by hiding themselves among other masters can they ensure their own safety.
"You little rascal, where have you been? Why wasn't you there during the fight just now?"
There was some confusion on Zhao Linger's face.
Yu Fei said with a smile: "I'm sorry to have worried you, senior sister. I was just being lazy."
Yu Fei said it easily, but Zhao Linger understood her. After all, Yu Fei was brought up by her. How could she believe the lies of this little girl who had been with her since she was six years old?
Zhao Linger already had some guesses in her mind.
"You naughty girl, now the victory is on our side, you better be careful. If anything happens to any of our sisters, I won't be able to get over it, let alone you."
Yu Fei smiled slightly: "Don't worry, senior sister. You are old and ugly now. In the future, you will still need me to maintain your reputation with the young master. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."
Yu Fei's seemingly simple words made Zhao Linger very angry. If the current situation did not allow her to use any family rules, she would definitely give Yu Fei a severe beating.
…
Looking at Zhao Min on the second line of defense, the second and third lines of defense were only a few dozen steps apart. Although it was night, Zhao Min could still vaguely see several graceful figures fighting on the third line of defense.
Zhao Min was also a little anxious. To be honest, she regretted letting Zhao Linger and the others go on to fight. After all, they had already taken down two city defenses. Even if they took a while, they could still take down the third. If Zhao Linger and the others went to fight again, what if someone really got into trouble? How would she explain it to Zhang Wuji?
Given Zhang Wuji's sentimental nature, if anything happened to anyone, he would be heartbroken. And if he took his anger out on me, what would I do?
Zhao Min sighed helplessly, but there was no better way now. A small area on the third line of city defense had been occupied by Zhao Linger and the others. If they were recalled now, the advantage they had gained would inevitably disappear.
"Pass the order down, tell the soldiers to speed up the siege. They must not give up. They must take down the city defense before dawn."
…
At this moment, not to mention that Zhao Min was a little anxious, in fact, Yang Xiao and other generals were the same.
