"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will last forever, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever."
After Zhao Min said this, the soldiers around them also shouted this sentence together.
The sound of mountains roaring and seas resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will last forever, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever."
At this moment, the tip of Zhao Min's sword was pointing at the Ming army.
Like the sky falling, like the earth sinking, like thunder, like a dragon emerging from the sea, like a tiger descending the mountain.
An unstoppable momentum rolled in.
…
Just when Inoue Yu was hesitating whether to follow Sasaki's advice, Zhao Min had already led the entire army to attack.
Just as she said herself, at a moment like this, even a moment of hesitation would only reveal her incompetence.
Two large banners have been hung high, one belongs to Zhang Wuji and the other to Zhao Min. Wherever the banners are, that is where the emperor and the commander-in-chief are.
Zhao Min wanted to let everyone know that she had personally charged into the enemy's path, not only her, but also the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
…
At this moment, the Ming army soldiers were risking everything and burning their boats. From the emperor to the ordinary soldiers, there was not a trace of hesitation or wavering. But on the other hand, Inoue Yu's mind was blank again.
He was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
"Marshal, Marshal, please make a decision quickly."
Sasaki shook Inoue Yu hard, and after a moment of daze, Inoue Yu came to his senses.
He asked Sasaki, "Sasaki-kun, what are these Ming people shouting? Also, what do those two strange flags in the Ming army camp mean?"
Sasaki said: "What the Ming army is saying is nothing more than to grind us into ashes."
"As for those two strange flags, they are two large banners. The golden one represents the presence of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Wherever the banner is, there is the emperor."
"As for the red side, it may represent the commander-in-chief of the Ming army."
After hearing this, Sasaki was shocked.
"I've heard for a long time that Zhang Wuji will lead the army in person this time, but I didn't expect that he would have the courage to lead the charge himself."
"What does he mean? Doesn't he want his own central army anymore?"
Sasaki felt a headache: "Marshal, it's already so late, can't you see the situation clearly?"
"It's not that Zhang Wuji doesn't want his central army anymore, but Zhang Wuji has already led his central army to attack."
"Because of your hesitation just now, we have lost our last chance to take the initiative to attack."
"If you had listened to my advice just now and sent all the soldiers except the central army forward together, this situation would never have happened."
To be honest, Inoue Yu was no longer feeling regretful at this moment, but rather a little upset.
He was frustrated about how things had turned out like this.
"Sasa-kun, it's not too late to send troops now."
"Give the order quickly, let's eliminate all the soldiers except the central army and launch a charge against the Ming central army."
"As long as you win this battle, you will all be my heroes, and I will reward you generously."
…
With the help of countless messengers and the sound of a strange horn, the tens of thousands of Japanese troops gradually moved.
They launched a pincer attack on Zhang Wuji's army from both sides.
However, it was at this moment that the 4,000 soldiers who had been guarding Zhao Min on both sides played a crucial role.
They had several fences, hundreds of cannons, strong bows and crossbows, and all the equipment was top-notch. The only drawback was that they had only 4,000 people, but had to face the attack of tens of thousands of Japanese troops.
They had to buy time for Zhao Min's central army, fight for the last remaining manpower of the Ming Dynasty, and avoid being entangled by the Japanese on the way.
…
The decisive battle has begun. The speed at which this decisive battle comes exceeds Zhao Min's deadline, and definitely exceeds Inoue Yu's deadline.
Everything happened too fast, so fast that Inoue Yu was in a trance. He couldn't believe that this was true. He couldn't believe why the Ming army had the courage to take such a gamble.
As the emperor of a vast country, it would have been fine if he had led the army himself, but he actually had the guts to lead the charge. Didn't he want his vast territory?
Doesn't he want this beauty in this vast land?
…
In a trance, Inoue Yu looked at Sasaki again.
"Sasa-kun, what should we do now?"
Sasaki was also a waste. He only realized that all the soldiers except the central army should be pushed forward in advance. As for other deployments, how could he know what to do.
After taking a deep breath, Sasaki said: "Marshal, judging from the current situation, all we can do now is to do our best and leave the rest to fate. We have done all we can."
"It's true that we underestimated the Ming army, but after all, we have an army of 200,000, and the advantage is still in our hands."
…
Is the advantage still mine?
Inoue Yu had already had doubts in his mind. If he was given a chance to choose, he would have distributed the 200,000 troops in various cities and fortresses to form layers of resistance. This kind of decisive battle right from the start would decide the life and death of the 200,000 troops and the rise and fall of Japan's national destiny. Such pressure is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Hirohito Koichi once said that if he won this battle, he, Inoue Takeshi, would be a great hero of Japan, and even a hundred or a thousand years later, he would still be worshipped and respected by the people of Japan.
But then again, if he lost this battle, wouldn't he also be nailed to Japan's pillar of shame, so that even after thousands of years, wouldn't he still be despised by the Japanese?
The answer should be yes. In fact, Inoue Yu's defeat had a more far-reaching impact than Yamamoto Ningji and Musashi Hideki, because this was a battle on home soil after all.
…
Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Apart from these six words, Inoue Yuya really doesn't know what else he can do now.
However, at this moment, he indeed found that he could not see even the most basic battlefield very clearly, because he was sitting in a carriage, and countless soldiers were standing around the carriage. The carriage was not high, and although he could see swords and guns on the battlefield in the distance, he could not see the orderly deployment of his own soldiers.
As a result, his heart became even more panicked.
…
Looking at Zhao Min, she had already led the central army and was slowly pressing forward, but her speed was not particularly fast. It was true that she and Zhang Wuji were in the lead, but they were also deliberately suppressing the speed of the soldiers. This speed was just equivalent to fast walking.
Because Zhao Min had to do everything she could to save the soldiers' energy. After all, they were all heavily armored infantry. If they ran too fast, what would happen if they ran out of energy while fighting?
What Zhao Min had to do was to use the more than 10,000 heavily armored Ming troops behind her to defeat Inoue Xiong's tens of thousands of central troops. What she had to do was to keep the heavily armored warriors behind her in the best condition at all times.
