As Hojo Rin's soldiers approached the Xiaohai, the Xiaohai dropped black objects that exploded upon landing.
Those who rushed forward were instantly blown to pieces, and those who were not killed lay on the ground, leaving only wails of agony.
By this time, the sea was ablaze with fire. Of the Yamato ships, only a few at the rear managed to escape; the rest were either destroyed by bombs or burned to the ground.
The injured people on the beach were rolling around and crying out.
Rin Hojo was completely stunned.
Are the people of Great Chu devils?
His lieutenant, Takenaka Yoshinobu, turned pale upon seeing this and asked in a trembling voice, "Sir, shall we continue the attack?"
Yeah, should we still attack?
Hojo Rin only sent a little over two hundred people in the first batch, which was nearly ten times the number of people sent by the Great Chu.
But the Great Chu has such a terrifying thing. Even if another group of people were sent up, they would probably be blown up before they even made contact with the ship.
Another lieutenant, Sanada Yushin, said, "Sir, we have more men, and the Great Chu should have a limited number of these things, so perhaps..."
His meaning was clear: he wanted to use the lives of his soldiers to exhaust that strange thing from the Great Chu people.
He refused to believe that the Great Chu could possibly have many such powerful items.
Once the Great Chu has used up this stuff, won't it be at the mercy of others?
Takenaka Yoshinobu frowned and disagreed, saying, "Sir, if that's really the case, how many people would have to be sacrificed?"
Sanada Isonobu scoffed, "Takenaka, you're just too soft-hearted. From the very first day we enlisted, we were all prepared to sacrifice ourselves for Yamato. Now is the time when we're needed. As long as the lord gives the order, who would dare not to step down?"
Hojo Rin thought about it and realized it made sense; he also wanted to try Da Chu again.
“Alright, Sanada, you will lead the troops to attack the Xiaohai in this round of attacks. If you can take it, I will definitely ask the general for credit on your behalf.”
Upon hearing this, Sanada Yushin's expression changed drastically. He meant for someone else to go, not for him to go himself. His voice even stammered.
"My lord, the firepower of the Great Chu is too fierce. I'm afraid you might be in danger. It would be better to stay by your side and protect you."
Takenaka Yoshinobu glanced at Sanada Isobu, sneered, and his eyes were full of mockery.
Sanada is righteous and awe-inspiring when he sends others to their deaths, but when it comes to it himself, he doesn't dare to do it.
Sanada Isobu, disregarding the sarcasm in Takenaka Yoshinobu's eyes, still tried to persuade Hojo Rin to change her mind, but Hojo Rin interrupted him, "Hurry up and go!"
Takenaka Yoshinobu added, "Sanada, Yamato needs you. I will protect you, sir."
Sanada Yunobu:......
He glanced at Hojo Rin again, hoping that the master would retract the order, but Hojo Rin didn't give him another look.
Sanada Yushin had no choice but to walk into the ranks and shout, "Everyone, charge! Avenge our brothers!"
The second group of soldiers charged forward, but Sanada Yushin suddenly stumbled and almost fell.
By the time he regained his footing, he had fallen behind the others.
Sanada Yushin glanced around, then pretended to have twisted his ankle and secretly backed away.
Takenaka Yoshinobu saw this and said to Hojo Rin, "Sir, do you think Sanada twisted his ankle?"
Hojo Rin followed Takenaka Yoshinobu's gaze and sneered.
If you twist your ankle, you can't possibly walk backwards.
Hojo Rin took the bow off his back and shot it at Sanada Ichinoseki.
call out!
An arrow landed near Sanada Isonobu's feet, narrowly missing him.
Sanada Yushin was startled and quickly turned around, only to see Hojo Rin with her head bent to the side, drawing her bow fully, staring at him.
Sanada Yushin knew that the previous arrow was Hojo Rin's warning to him; if he dared to take another step back, the next arrow would not be aimed at his feet.
He dared not retreat any further and began to charge forward, his limp gone.
Thus, Hojo Rin slowly withdrew her bow.
Boom~~
