Chapter 679: Decisive Battle of Edo (Happy New Year's Eve!)



"That's wishful thinking," Qi Yuanbi snorted coldly, his tone filled with disdain as he said, "Marshal, let the special forces go. They haven't been deployed since the start of the war."

Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "Wait a moment."

"The fighting has just started, and neither side has gotten angry yet. We don't know how many of the other side are still lying in ambush. Don't rush. Let the North Koreans fight for a while. It's okay if there are more casualties. When the fighting is almost over, it won't be too late for us to leave."

"They think we will rescue the Koreans, but they are wrong. If these Koreans die, we can just recruit another batch. I can't let our Ming soldiers sacrifice their lives."

"But the special forces team can go ahead and find a good position."

"Yes, Marshal." Qi Yuanbi agreed and turned around to make arrangements.

The Special Operations Squad is a unit within the Royal Army that was established in the last three years. It is dedicated to special operations. Each member is equipped with two pistols, and their rifles are also better, with stronger specific attributes, and even have scopes.

In addition, the demolition team also has better things, including grenades, hand grenades, and even a very powerful shotgun.

These people have been training all day on how to fight in the city, and now they finally have their chance.

Although the special forces of 3,000 people are not numerous, their power is extraordinary.

When the battle between the two sides reached a fever pitch and heavy casualties were suffered, these special teams suddenly appeared, and the effect was naturally very good.

In Edo Castle.

The battle lines were now jagged and the corpses piled high. The two armies engaged in a fierce battle, using both guns and cannons, close combat, and repeated hand-to-hand combat. In just half a day, the positions changed hands seven or eight times, and the Korean army suffered countless casualties.

Although these ragtag troops were brave, they were outnumbered and more than half of the officers and soldiers in one battalion were killed.

When the shouts and cries of killing were deafening in the city, the special forces team sneaked in quietly.

Neither Sun Chuanting nor Qi Yuanbi moved forward, but just stood there looking through binoculars, as if they didn't see anything no matter how intense the battle situation in the city was.

Soon after, news arrived from the front lines that the Koreans had requested assistance, saying they were struggling and had suffered heavy casualties. It was clear that if the Ming army didn't go, they would be defeated and forced to retreat.

They can't be allowed to run away. This is Sun Chuanting's bottom line.

Sun Chuanting looked at Qi Yuanbi and said, "Give the order, let them take action, and our people will also press forward."

"Yes, Marshal." Qi Yuanbi agreed.

In Edo Castle, the Japanese people wailed and the officers and soldiers sighed, it was a tragic scene.

Zheng Zhilong killed a man with a knife, wiped his bloody face, and showed a somewhat ugly expression.

He turned around to look at his younger brother Zheng Zhibao and asked, "Hasn't support arrived yet?"

Zheng Zhibao said helplessly: "No, maybe they feel that not enough people have died."

Zheng Zhilong nodded gently and said nothing. He just pulled his brother and said, "Pay attention to finding a good position. We should stand where we can hide at any time."

"Brother, are you worried about them opening fire?" Zheng Zhibao said hesitantly, "They won't do that, will they?"

"You are so naive," Zheng Zhilong said angrily. "That Ming general is not a good character. Now both sides are fighting in this city. If he opens fire, he will definitely gain a lot. The sword has been unsheathed and the blood has been drunk. You don't really think he cares about our casualties, do you?"

Zheng Zhibao fell silent instantly.

Since the start of the war, the two brothers have been working with the Japanese army, recruiting a lot of people and greatly increasing their strength.

But they gradually figured out some things, such as the fact that the great commander of the Ming Dynasty did not care at all about the deaths of people other than the Ming Dynasty's personal army, and sometimes he even hoped that more people would die.

For example, this time it was like this. Although whoever breaks into the city and grabs the spoils will own them, in reality, how can it be that easy?

Zheng Zhilong was not a brainless person. He knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was taking their lives as payment.

If there was a way, he would never get involved in such a mess again. But there was no other way, he could only bite the bullet and go ahead. Now he was hiding far away, fearing that the Ming Dynasty would open fire and kill him.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Just when Zheng Zhilong was about to say something, gunshots were suddenly heard around him, and all the people who were still shouting and charging were knocked to the ground.

In an instant, gunshots rang out and corpses were everywhere.

Zheng Zhilong pulled his brother and they hid in a house.

Through the window, the two men still couldn't see the scene outside clearly. They had no idea where the people were, or who fired the shots and where. They could only see those people being knocked down like wheat being cut.

"Is this the mysterious special forces team?" Zheng Zhibao said with a breath of cold air.

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "I'm afraid so. They haven't taken action in such a long time. Now that they have taken action, the power is truly extraordinary."

"It seems that Marshal Sun still has some conscience." Zheng Zhibao said with a smile.

"What a conscience!" Zheng Zhilong said angrily, "Just wait and see, he'll come and take the credit."

"Stealing the credit, right?" Zheng Zhibao said hesitantly.

"Why not?" Zheng Zhilong said angrily, "Why didn't he send those special forces teams in before? Now that we're both badly hurt, his people are here. Do you think he's here to save us?"

"Don't even think about it. This is Edo Castle. He's here to steal things and arrest people. All the high-ranking officials and the Emperor of Japan are here. Do you think he'll let it go?"
