Zhang Wuji was convinced that the Japanese on the opposite side were no match for him, but any victory came at a price.
Yang Xiao was still entangled with Tokugawa Hideyoshi. Neither of them had expected that the other would be so difficult to deal with.
The sword in Yang Xiao's hand flew up and down, and Tokugawa Hideyoshi also fought desperately with a long sword in his hand. However, it was obvious that Tokugawa Hideyoshi seemed to have more tricks, because he was not only good at swordsmanship, he also knew ninjutsu. Like Longze and others, he could spit fire and do some other things, just like a magic trick, and he could often hit Yang Xiao in an unexpected place.
However, just when Yang Xiao felt the situation was getting tricky, a voice came towards them. The owner of the voice was Takeda Nobuo: "General, don't fight with him anymore, come here quickly."
Just now, Nobuo Takeda has taken control of the situation.
Therefore, as soon as he took control of the situation and suppressed the Ming army that was about to land, he hurried to help Tokugawa Hideyoshi get rid of Yang Xiao.
If this newly appointed general were to die on his own, there would be no need to fight this war.
Upon hearing this, Tokugawa Hideyoshi stopped fighting. If he were still the guerrilla commander, he would have used all his strength, relying on the rage in his heart to fight Yang Xiao to the death. But now it was different. After all, he still had 50,000 troops behind him. If he died like this, what would happen to the 50,000 troops behind him? What would happen to Japan?
Tokugawa Hideyoshi performed another Iaijutsu, and after putting some distance between him and Yang Xiao, a group of Japanese soldiers shot arrows at Yang Xiao like rain.
Yang Xiao didn't dare to be careless and dodged quickly...
Looking at Yang Xiao's miserable appearance, Tokugawa Hideyoshi couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of general is not weaker than me. I wonder how many such generals there are in the Ming Dynasty?"
Takeda Nobuo said: "The founding king and the founding generals are all capable people. For a new dynasty, if they don't have real abilities, there will be no place for them in the dynasty."
"If you ask me, there should be many brave people like him in the Ming Dynasty. If you don't believe me, look at the one over there."
As he spoke, Takeda Nobuo pointed his finger at Wei Yixiao who was not far away and said: "This man's kung fu is also quite good. When the general was fighting with that man before, he almost got close to me several times with his strange body movements. If it weren't for dozens of archers who blocked a few hits for me, I'm afraid I would have been killed by him."
Tokugawa Hideyoshi said: "If this was a fair and wild battle, with the excellent armor of the Ming army and the bravery of the soldiers, I am afraid we would have been defeated long ago."
Nobuo Takeda said: "That's true, but fortunately, we still have an absolute advantage on this river bank."
"It's such a small place, and we have more than 10,000 people guarding it. I don't believe the Ming army can attack it."
To be honest, the Japanese really had the advantage at this moment. In such a small area, they had too many soldiers, while the Ming army's soldiers were scattered in twos and threes. Although the total number added up to hundreds, the battlefield was compressed so small that the hundreds of Ming army soldiers could hardly fight.
The advantages that had just been gained were turned into a stalemate and a life-and-death battle due to the Japanese's repeated and organized counterattacks.
Yang Xiao retreated to Wei Yixiao's side and said, "Old bat, we can't go on like this."
"The river bank is so small, the Japanese keep rushing forward by hundreds, and our soldiers are also constantly increasing their numbers. If they continue like this, we won't be able to move around."
Wei Yi smiled and said: "How can I not know that given the current situation, I'm afraid we have to kill the Japanese commander in order to put them in chaos."
"Let's go together. As for the soldiers, don't worry about them for now. For us, this is such a small place, there is no need for a commander. Just let them push forward on their own."
Yang Xiao nodded quickly upon hearing this, but at this moment, another voice came.
"Count me in, the three of us will go and kill the commander."
Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao looked back, only to see that Duan Zihao had come behind them without them noticing.
"Does the Marshal look down on us?"
Duan Zihao frowned after hearing this and said: "Generals, you are overthinking it. The river bank is too small, and we are on the side close to the river."
"Hundreds of armored soldiers have filled this place, and the advantage in military strength cannot be exerted at all. Even the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is greatly reduced. That's why the Marshal asked me to come. What we need now is a master to fight our way out, otherwise it will be dawn in another hour."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao knew that Duan Zihao was right. A place like this, so small and crowded, really required a master to fight his way out. Only by taking over a large enough area could the soldiers in the rear fight more smoothly.
The three of them quickly fought their way through a bloody path. With every step forward, one of their own soldiers would occupy that hard-earned position on the riverbank.
Moreover, Duan Zihao also brought Zhao Min's personal guards, and the combat effectiveness of those personal guards is not comparable to that of ordinary heavy armored warriors.
Their combat power is much stronger than those heavily armored warriors.
On the other side, Tokugawa Hideyoshi saw with his naked eyes the bravery of Duan Zihao. A long sword flew up and down in his hand. With just one glance, he determined that this man's fighting ability was definitely above that of Yang Xiao, whom he had just fought with.
Tokugawa Hideyoshi even wondered if he had been killed by Duan Zihao if the person he had fought against before was him.
However, just as he was thinking about relying on his military advantage to launch another organized attack to suppress the Ming army, a sound of breaking through the air came towards him.
Tokugawa Hideyoshi instinctively dodged. It must be said that for people with such high cultivation, instinctive reactions are always correct.
But making the right choice does not mean you will get the right result.
When Tokugawa Hideyoshi came to his senses, her shoulder had been pierced by an arrow.
It penetrates directly.
"Protect the general," Takeda Nobuo shouted loudly.
However, just as he was desperately standing in front of Tokugawa, another sound of breaking through the air was heard.
The arrow went straight into Takeda Nobuo's back, exited from his shoulder, and then pierced Tokugawa Hideyoshi's chest.
Fortunately, Tokugawa Hideyoshi was wearing armor, otherwise the battle would have been over if this arrow had been shot.
Tokugawa Hideyoshi endured the severe pain in his body and looked in the direction where the arrow came from, but saw two extremely beautiful girls standing on the board of the broken Ming army ship in the distance.
The two girls had already drawn their bows and arrows again. They were Yu Fei and Zhou Zhiruo.
