Musashi's Sakura bow was drawn to a full moon again. At this moment, the soldiers of both armies held their breath.
An arrow flew out of his hand like thunder, and Xu Da's hand, which was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, tightened a little involuntarily.
However, a moment later, Musashi's arrow whizzed past not far from Xu Da's ear.
Musashi was a little confused. He missed again and felt like his brain was a little out of control.
However, at this moment, Xu Da waved to his own soldiers.
Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly ran over and handed a large bow and an arrow to Xu Da.
Musashi saw this, and his already confused mind became even more confused.
Xu Da was also extremely strong. Looking at the entire Wei army, there were probably less than ten people who could pull his bow.
He could draw a bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the Japanese pirates.
Xu Da was full of confidence and gently released his two fingers.
An arrow, filled with murderous intent, flew straight towards Musashi.
Musashi was a great general, and when he was in Japan, he was considered to have experienced many battles.
However, when facing Xu Da's arrow, he felt very unsure.
He felt that if he didn't hide, he would most likely die, but if he did, it would be embarrassing. What should he do, what should he do..."
At this moment, many things came to Musashi's mind. He knew that if he really died in the Middle-earth, then those concubines in his Japanese mansion would definitely become the possession of other dignitaries.
Musashi thought to himself, "I can't let those poor girls become playthings in the hands of others again."
Musashi was not afraid of death, but he had to keep his life for the sake of his family.
After figuring out the interests involved, Musashi quickly ran backwards.
It was so fast that one of the shoes ran away.
The Wei army soldiers who were a hundred feet away naturally did not see Musashi's shoes, but the Japanese soldiers behind Musashi saw them clearly.
It's okay to be afraid of death, but even losing your shoes is a bit too much.
The dignified commander-in-chief of the Japanese expeditionary force encountered the enemy's regular army on the front battlefield for the first time, and made such a big fool of himself before the battle even started.
"Baga, baga..."
Xu Da's arrow fell where Musashi had just stood.
If he didn't run, he would really be dead.
Musashi roared "Baga" and then waved his hand: "Shoot, shoot to death the Wei army general."
…
After receiving the order, the Japanese archers fired thousands of arrows at once, but Xu Da on the opposite side still showed no intention of dodging.
Musashi had amazing arm strength, and even with the Sakura bow given by the Emperor he couldn't shoot accurately, let alone those ordinary Japanese archers.
Thousands of arrows fell to the ground.
Just as Xu Da thought, the arrow closest to him was still ten feet away.
Xu Da laughed heartily, his laughter full of ridicule and contempt for Musashi, but Musashi was powerless to do anything about it.
"Baga, baga..."
…
Xu Da ignored Musashi and returned to his camp with a smile on his face.
He knew that although his arrow had destroyed the morale of the Japanese, it was still too early to launch an attack.
Everything will have to wait until Lan Yu comes back.
…
A moment later, Xu Da's central military tent was set up.
After thinking for a while, he said to the guard beside him: "Go, send a message to His Majesty, asking him to send me more reinforcements. I am afraid that there are more than 100,000 Japanese troops in the southeastern coastal area."
"The more than 20,000 people I have are really not enough."
The personal guard said, "Please tell His Majesty how many soldiers you want."
Xu Da smiled and said, "There's no need to explain it so clearly. Your Majesty and I used to beg for food together, and most of the food we gave him was eaten by him."
"How could he treat me unfairly after such a great favor?"
…
In this way, after arranging some matters, Xu Da rested in the central military tent until that night when Lan Yu rushed back exhausted.
However, Lan Yu looked a little embarrassed at this time.
Xu Dayan asked, "Did you encounter a war?"
After taking a sip of water, Lan Yu said, "Yes, we encountered a little battle. When we were surveying the mountains on both sides, we met the Japanese who were guarding the mountains. The Japanese had occupied many peaks on both sides of the mountains. My soldiers happened to run into them."
Xu Da sneered, "It's also expected. It's a blessing in disguise that you were able to escape unscathed. Now that things have come to this, let's just wait. I believe that it won't be long before His Majesty will send reinforcements. After all, the Japanese in front of us are not defending the city. As long as we have enough troops, it will not be a problem to destroy the tens of thousands of Japanese troops in front of us."
…
Xu Da chose to keep his troops in place.
However, Musashi, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese expeditionary force, chose to remain inactive.
After what happened during the day, Musashi practiced martial arts with more than a dozen geishas in a row, and only then did he vent his anger.
After his anger subsided, Musashi's heart calmed down completely. Through what happened during the day, he felt that with Japan's strength, it would be difficult to fight against Zhu Yuanzhang's Wei Dynasty. At the very least, the troops sent by Japan to China were completely insufficient to fight against Wei Dynasty.
Therefore, he simply ordered to guard the camp strictly and firmly control his own camp and the hills in the mountains on both sides of the camp.
He was waiting for some changes in the situation, especially Zhang Wuji's attitude.
If Zhang Wuji could try his best to cause trouble for Zhu Yuanzhang and relieve the pressure on his side, then perhaps the deadlock could be broken.
If possible, Musashi also wanted Zhang Wuji to hand over the military power in his hands, so that he could become the commander-in-chief of both sides, and the soldiers could get unified command. That would be perfect.
After thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Musashi's mouth. However, at this moment, the geisha behind him stuffed another red pill into his mouth.
"Lord Musashi, let's start over again."
…
Half a month later, just as friction continued between Xu Da and Musashi, Xiaoquan Kameda and his group finally arrived in Luzhou.
Early in the morning, when the city gate of Luzhou had not yet opened, Xiaoquan and his group of fifty people were already squatting in the corner waiting.
Kameda said to Xiaoquan, "Master Xiaoquan, I have to say that Zhang Wuji is quite capable. It hasn't been long since his troops reached Luzhou. This place is not very far from where we will have a decisive battle with the Wei army. When we see Zhang Wuji, we will ask him to send his troops immediately and let him and our commander-in-chief attack from the front and back."
