The army continued to march.
With Zhao Min's personality, it didn't take long for her to forget the unpleasantness that Zhou Zhiruo had just brought her.
"My friend, I have calculated that with our speed, from now on, we will march for three hours and then rest for one hour. In this way, we should be able to reach the vicinity of Ningde battlefield tomorrow night."
Zhang Wuji didn't say any extra words: "Min'er, I'll listen to you. If you say stop, I'll stop. If you say go, I'll go. I won't say no."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Compared to when you were so arrogant or bullying me, you are more pleasing to the eye now."
"I just hope that after I help you unify the world, you won't abandon me."
"Be careful of the pillow talk of the vixen around you, don't let her whisper me into the cold palace."
Zhang Wuji was shocked: "Min'er, what are you talking about? I, Zhang Wuji, am not the kind of ungrateful person. If you keep thinking of me like this, I will be really unhappy."
…
On the other side, on the Ningde battlefield, it was already past noon. Most of the 200,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and scattered, and hundreds of thousands of corpses stretched for twenty or thirty miles. As for the remaining Japanese who were not dead, they were unable to form an organized resistance. The world of Middle-earth is not a place where you can come and go as you please.
Xu Da and Lan Yu would have joined in: "Congratulations, Marshal. After this battle, your name will go down in history."
Xu Da never liked others to flatter him, but this time was an exception. After all, this was the first foreign war in Middle-earth. Xu Da was fortunate enough to be the first to kill a foreign general, and naturally he felt extremely honored.
The most important thing is that this battle can be considered a great victory. Although there were many casualties on our side, if we could have completely wiped out the 200,000 Japanese troops, I believe that we would have been mentioned in more chapters in the history books of later generations.
At this moment, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde also rushed over: "Marshal, we can't find the Japanese commander. I really don't know where he ran to?"
After taking a deep breath, Xu Da said, "It's not surprising that we haven't found the Japanese commander yet. After all, there are still no less than 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese soldiers who have fled in disarray. Pass the order down and chase them. No matter what, we must kill as many Japanese as possible."
"My Middle-earth China is not a place where they can come and go as they please."
As soon as Xu Da finished speaking, Lan Yu hurriedly said, "General, there is one more thing now. When I detoured here to intercept these fleeing Japanese, I discovered that the Japanese had a huge fleet, less than ten miles away from here. Even though the fleet was far away, it had a sense of grandeur. I'm afraid it can't be compared with Chen Youliang's fleet."
"This battle has been a great victory. The remaining 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese troops are probably scattered into dozens of fleeing groups."
"This kind of cat-and-mouse game is really not suitable for someone of your status."
"How about you go and take a look at the Japanese fleet?"
After thinking for a while, Xu Da said, "Don't try to play the cat and mouse game. The Japanese have lost their nerve. Even if 30,000 or 40,000 people escaped, they will be killed sooner or later. Since the Japanese fleet is more powerful than Chen Youliang's fleet, why don't we go and take a look."
"After this battle, when we have pacified Zhang Wuji, we should start the expedition against the Japanese. By looking at the Japanese fleet, we will have a better idea of what to do."
…
Half an hour later, when Xu Da and others arrived at the port, they found that in the distance there was indeed a fleet of more than 300 large ships.
The number of ships in this fleet is far less than the warships under Chen Youliang's command, but they are generally much larger than Chen Youliang's warships. After all, ships floating in the sea are different from ships floating in rivers.
Fu Youde exclaimed: "Oh my God, what a huge fleet! If ships of this size were only used to transport troops, I'm afraid one ship could transport 500 Japanese soldiers."
Feng Sheng was also surprised and said: "That's true. Although we in the Great Wei also have a fleet, it is far inferior to the fleet in front of us."
Lan Yu gritted his teeth and said, "What a pity, what a pity. This is Ningde. It is still some distance away from the real sea, but there are many waterways here. If possible, we only need dozens of small boats to block an estuary to stop the Japanese fleet."
After thinking for a while, Xu Da said, "This is the coastal area. There are countless fishermen around. It's not too late to do these things even now."
"Whether it is our Majesty or Zhang Wuji, the evil cult leader, the future overlord of Middle-earth will definitely be one of them. But no matter who becomes the emperor of Middle-earth, he will not tolerate what the Japanese did today."
"The conquest of Japan will probably take place in five or six years."
"By then, if the Japanese still have this huge fleet, it will definitely have a certain impact on our landing."
"Lan Yu, lead a group of soldiers to survey the surrounding water network. If possible, use the fishermen's boats to block the retreat of the Japanese fleet. As long as we block them, we will have plenty of time to deal with them."
Lan Yu didn't care about his fatigue and immediately took the order and left.
At this time, the generals on the Japanese fleet also discovered Xu Da and others from a distance. When they saw the rows of Wei soldiers near the dock from afar, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
Several Japanese soldiers around him quickly helped him up and said, "Sir Yamamoto, the ground is cold."
After hearing this, Yamamoto slapped the enemy in the face and said, "Baka, the ground is cold? No matter how cold it is, it is not as cold as the underworld. The appearance of the Wei army here means that our great Japan has been defeated. Two hundred thousand troops, two hundred thousand troops."
The man called Yamamoto was named Yamamoto Neiji, an admiral of the Japanese Navy, with the same official title as Musashi. Unfortunately, Musashi was nowhere to be found at this moment, and Yamamoto was so sad that he couldn't control his tears.
However, at this time, many Japanese naval officers and soldiers comforted him, "Lord Yamamoto, the presence of the Wei army here does show that Musashi was defeated, and was defeated miserably. But you should change your thinking. Now that Musashi has been defeated, no one will be able to compete with you in the court of our Japan in the future."
"Our navy no longer has to act according to the army's wishes."
