"The wound is only one foot long?"
Musashi was very angry, but more of it was fear. You know, in the more than ten years of fighting in Japan, he had hardly suffered any injuries, but the knife just now almost took his life.
The Japanese general continued, "Marshal, the two armies are now in a stalemate. It is absolutely impossible to retreat at this time. All you can do now is fight to the death."
"Our Japanese soldiers have good endurance. As long as you are still fighting and as long as your flag is still there, the soldiers will grit their teeth and persevere. As long as we hold on for another hour or two, when the Wei army is exhausted, we will surely be able to regain the advantage bit by bit."
Musashi covered his chest with his hands and coughed twice: "Are you sure?"
The Japanese general was speechless, but still said through gritted teeth: "I'm sure, but what needs to be confirmed now is you, Marshal. Compared to me, you should be more confident that we will win this battle. Japan has no way out. If we collapse now, how many of our nearly 200,000 troops can escape?"
…
The battle continued, but it was getting more and more intense. The Wei army soldiers fought desperately forward, not knowing that even though the Japanese army was somewhat defeated, they were still fighting desperately.
Musashi had already hidden in a safe place. He really didn't want to confront Xu Da head-on. He thought that with his skills, which were among the best among the Japanese generals, he would be able to sweep away the generals in the Middle-earth. However, he didn't expect that every general he met in the Middle-earth would be so powerful.
…
The battle continued like this for nearly an hour.
Although the Japanese army was still at a disadvantage, there was still no sign of defeat.
The two armies together had more than 300,000 people fighting here. No matter whether it was the Wei army or the Japanese army, when they looked around, they could see not only countless enemies, but also countless of their own people.
Therefore, even though the Japanese army saw their own disadvantages, they also saw their own advantages.
The advantage is that we have more people, and our combat power is still very strong.
At this moment, compared to the injured Musashi, Xu Da was actually feeling a little uncomfortable. He led the charge and therefore, even though he was a master of martial arts, he had suffered several knife wounds after such a long battle. Although they were not fatal, they were very uncomfortable.
After taking another Japanese head, Xu Da was finally forcibly surrounded by his own soldiers in a relatively safe place.
Xu Da also took a break during this rare opportunity.
A young general of the Wei army under his command quickly handed over the water bag and said, "General, we have already won this battle. It is only a matter of time. You cannot lead the troops like this anymore."
After Xu Da drank some water, he looked up at the sky again.
Although there is still some time before dawn, fortunately the moonlight is very good tonight. Even in the south of the Yangtze River, there are probably only a few days in a year to see such a good moonlight.
At this moment, he thought of Lan Yu again. It was not impossible to continue fighting at this time. As long as he could hold on, it would not matter even if the current advantage turned into a disadvantage. Because in less than an hour, Lan Yu's 20,000 cavalry would appear behind the Japanese army. As long as he could hold on until Lan Yu joined the battle, he would be able to defeat this group of Japanese in an instant. But after changing his mind, Xu Da gave up the idea.
Because the Japanese are different from the nomadic peoples in the north. Compared with the nomadic peoples in the north, the Japanese are absolute invaders.
This was the first time in thousands of years that Middle-earth had suffered such an invasion. As a general leading an army of over 100,000, it was a glorious thing for him to be able to fight the invaders to the death. Therefore, the most perfect way to end this battle was to defeat these Japanese head-on, rather than waiting for Lan Yu's 20,000 cavalry.
Only in this way can Xu Da's name leave a mark in history books.
After thinking about this, Xu Da said to the messenger beside him: "Can we still contact Fu Youde and Feng Sheng?"
The messenger said: "Yes, but the two generals have been fighting for a whole day and night, and they are very tired now."
After hearing this, Xu Da said disdainfully: "Tired? As a general, who has the right to say tired?"
"Go and tell the two of them that in a quarter of an hour, they must follow my flag and no matter which direction it points, they must fight to the death and come over to me. These Japanese troops must be defeated before dawn."
The messenger immediately took the order and left.
…
A quarter of an hour later, under the bright moonlight, Xu Da quickly discovered the location of Musashi's general flag.
Musashi was also resting at this moment. He was still a little lucky because just as the Japanese general next to him had said before, the position of his own soldiers was actually stabilized.
If we can persist like this for another hour or two, we might actually be able to turn defeat into victory.
However, Musashi still felt a little regretful at this time. He regretted that if he had known that the result would be like this, why would he have gone to so much trouble to deal with Xu Da? If he had chosen a place and sent 200,000 troops directly there, wouldn't his chances of winning be greater?
…
Xu Da jumped onto a warhorse.
He looked around and realized that the number of his own soldiers killed in this battle was probably over 20,000, and as for the wounded, it was probably even more.
If this had happened with Zhang Wuji, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but facing the Japanese, he really couldn't stand it anymore.
If our side suffers too many casualties in this battle, even if we win, it will be an imperfect victory.
