First, there were shield soldiers blocking the way, and then there were spear soldiers and crossbowmen pressing in. At this time, Jiugui was also a little panicked.
The battle had been going on for half a quarter of an hour. The two armies were only a few dozen feet apart. Hundreds of their own ronin warriors had been killed or wounded, but they had not caused any effective casualties to the soldiers under Zhu Wenzhen.
Kuki said to the staff officer beside him: "Ono, I'm sorry to the Emperor. It's a pity that I have not read military books and don't understand battle formations. I have wasted the lives of so many of my own warriors in vain."
Staff Officer Ono said: "Don't panic, sir. Our warriors have already started fighting hand-to-hand with Zhu Wenzhen's soldiers. As long as we take one more step forward, we will be able to break through Zhu Wenzhen's formation."
"As long as we can engage in close combat with these Han soldiers, our advantages will immediately become apparent."
Ideals are beautiful, but reality seems a bit bleak.
In Zhu Wenzhen's eyes, although these ronin warriors in front of him all had good swordsmanship, they were ultimately just a group of scattered sand.
Although our side does not have the advantage in terms of numbers, fortunately we can obey unified dispatch and do not fight alone.
Zhu Wenzhen on horseback was still so calm. He just waved his hand and said, "Go forward."
With just one word, the soldiers under his command marched forward together.
At the front, the soldier holding the shield also changed to holding the shield with one hand, and with the other hand, he pulled out a steel knife from his waist.
…
The reason why Zhu Wenzhen chose to advance at this time was entirely because the ronin warriors in front of him lacked unified coordination.
After receiving Kuki's orders, they only knew to move forward and only knew to attack from the front.
You know, war is not a joke. The ancestors of the Han people wrote so many military books. If Jiugui had read one of them, he would not do such a stupid thing.
Tens of thousands of people attacked in one direction together, and they didn't even have any long-range lethal weapons. Zhu Wenzhen had never experienced such a stupid battle before.
Tens of thousands of people were crowded together. The Japanese were short, almost the dwarfs of the whole country. Zhu Wenzhen, who was on horseback, took a look and saw that the Japanese troops were trampling because they were in a hurry to charge forward.
Zhu Wenzhen would naturally not miss such an opportunity.
At this moment, the more Zhu Wenzhen's troops pushed forward, the less room the tens of thousands of Japanese troops had to maneuver.
The Japanese warriors at the back were still rushing forward, but the Japanese warriors in front were unable to break into Zhu Wenzhen's camp. As time went on, the trampling became worse, and the Japanese warriors at the front almost had no space to swing their swords.
…
Zhu Wenzhen only used the word "advance" to put the Japanese present in an extremely difficult situation.
Jiugui, the leader of a group, was really panicked at this time: "Ono, explain to me, what's going on? Our number is obviously twice that of Zhu Wenzhen, but why did this result occur?"
Staff Officer Ono was also a little panicked: "Sir, this Zhu Wenzhen is indeed the God of War. This guy must have used some ninjutsu that can turn beans into soldiers."
After hearing this, Jiugui felt furious: "Fuck you."
"I am a master of Japanese ninjutsu. You are lying and you don't even look at us. It is obvious that we don't understand military formations, so we have ended up like this. Hurry, give the order to withdraw the troops."
…
Chief of Staff Ono was nothing more than a military strategist from the beginning to the end. When it came to eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, he was an expert in Japan, but when it came to real talent and knowledge, he was not worth mentioning.
At this point, Ono didn't dare to say anything more. He was afraid that defeat was inevitable today. Fortunately, the casualties of the Japanese warriors were not particularly large. After today, it would not be a problem to break these warriors into small groups and carry out assassinations to kill some of Zhu Wenzhen's lone soldiers.
Ono took a few steps forward and cleared his throat, but just as he was about to shout to retreat, a thunderous arrow pierced through his throat.
At that moment, Ono's eyes were full of disbelief, but it was too late.
Because he set foot on a territory that he shouldn't have set foot on, from the moment he had evil intentions, this ending was destined.
Ono fell to the ground with a bang, and Kuki, who was not far away, was stunned.
Jiugui looked up and saw Zhu Wenzhen, who was sixty or seventy feet away, making a gesture of drawing his bow and drawing an arrow.
A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Wenzhen's mouth, and another thunder-like arrow flew straight towards Jiugui's face.
Jiuki did not dare to be careless. He quickly drew out the sword bestowed by the Emperor of Japan. He held the sword across his face. There was a clang, and the sword and arrow collided, sparks flew, and Jiuki's 1.5-meter-tall body actually retreated several steps.
…
Zhao Linger, who was watching the battle, smiled and said, "What a good archery skill. What a pity. If such a person is willing to surrender to our young master, it would not be a bad idea to give him a good death."
After hearing this, Yu Fei, who was standing by, glared at Zhao Linger fiercely and said, "Senior Sister, if you dare to say such things again, I will break up with you."
"Zhu Wenzhen's archery skills are indeed very good, and my life was almost lost at his hands."
"Sister, if you dare to think of recruiting him, I will not only break off my friendship with you for the rest of my life, but I will also oppose you in everything in front of the young master.
Zhao Linger was helpless: "You girl, we saw Zhu Wenzhen's excitement, and I just said something casually, but look how serious you are."
Su Tanmei quickly said: "Oh, sisters, you two are still connected by broken bones, please don't make fun of me, an outsider, and stop arguing."
Zhao Linger snorted coldly: "Hmph, girl, who said you are an outsider? From the first time I saw you, you have been our sister."
…
On the other side, although Jiugui blocked the arrow, his wrist was numb from the shock. He really couldn't believe that Zhu Wenzhen could have such great strength.
Jiugui knew that today's battle would probably end here. If it continued, these tens of thousands of Japanese warriors might be wiped out.
"Warriors, retreat, retreat quickly."
As soon as Jiu Gui finished shouting this, another thunderous arrow shot towards him.
Jiugui didn't dare to take it head-on this time and quickly dodged sideways, but at the same time, he made a decision in his heart, that is, today, he must get rid of Zhu Wenzhen no matter what.
If this person guards Fujian, the Japanese army will definitely be blocked when it attacks in the future.
Jiugui held a knife in one hand and took out a smoke bomb from his waist with the other hand. He smashed the smoke bomb down heavily, and a puff of white smoke rose from the ground.
Su Tanmei, who was watching the battle from a distance, was shocked: "Sisters, look, the Japanese has disappeared. Ninjutsu, it is the legendary ninjutsu, Smoke Release..."
