Luzuo River, east bank.

Lieutenant General Okamoto of the Chinese Army came over and said, "General, it's getting late."

"How about you go and have a rest first? I will keep an eye on Luzuo Academy for you."

As soon as Okamoto mentioned rest, Tsukamoto Taro couldn't help but yawned greatly.

These days, he has been either urging his men to hurry up or personally directing the battle, and his energy has long been exhausted.

If Ishikawa Taki hadn't been staring at and the location of Luzuo Academy was too important, he would have been lying on the bed and fast asleep.

Glancing at the hourglass, it was indeed very late.

Tsukamoto Taro raised his head and looked to the west.

As always, gunfire was still flying on the battlefield and the sound of killing was loud.

The night was like ink, but the soldiers on both sides ignored the darkness and still struggled to cross and reverse the river.

You won't see any results for a while.

Ha~~

Unconsciously, Tsukamoto yawned loudly again.

He rubbed his stiff face and said, "That's all, I am indeed a little tired."

"Remember," he stared at Okamoto and warned word by word, "the frontline attack must not stop until Luzuo Academy is captured."

"Yes!" Gangai responded with his chest raised.

"Very good." Tsukamoto Taro nodded with satisfaction, "Then keep a close eye on me. If anything happens, ask the bodyguard to wake me up."

"My subordinate understands." Okauchi smiled, "But I'm afraid the general is overly worried. If something happens, it will happen on the other side of the river. What can happen to us?"

"That's right." Tsukamoto Taro was so sleepy that he gave a few more instructions and hurried back to the camp to sleep.

He slept until the next afternoon.

If his stomach hadn't been growling with hunger, Tsukamoto Taro probably wouldn't have been able to get up.

"What time is it now?" he asked the guard next to him while stuffing something into his mouth.

"Go back to the general, it's midnight now and it's going to be dark soon."

"It's dark?" Tsukamoto Taro was surprised, "I have slept for so long!"

"How's the fight at Luzuo Academy going?" he asked hurriedly.

"This..." The little guard's face looked a little ugly.

"General, under the command of General Okamoto, the brothers built the bridge more than ten times in total, but..."

So far, I still haven’t been able to get Luzuo Academy.

"What?" Tsukamoto Taro stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.

boom.

He put down the bowl in his hand heavily, "Thirty thousand versus three thousand, this day and night has passed, and you still haven't taken the other side?"

"What on earth do so many people in front of you do to eat?"

The little guard was frightened when he heard this.

"General, calm down. The brothers have reached as far as the gate of Lu Zuo Academy, but unfortunately they were killed back by Lin Hanmo himself."

"But General Okamoto said that even their generals have begun to take action personally, which means that the enemy on the other side has almost reached the end of its war effort. I believe that if we build the bridge again, we can defeat Lu Zuo Academy."

Tsukamoto Taro's expression softened slightly.

He sat down and picked up the bowl again.

"Where's the riprap unit I'm about to take? How many have been caught?"

"This..." The little guard hesitated, hesitating to speak.

Taro Tsukamoto heard something strange and couldn't help but raise his head and stare at him, his eyes as cold as frost.

A chill ran down the little guard's back, and his mouth suddenly became smoother.

"Back to the general, most of the enemy's trebuchet positions are located in the mountains behind Luzuo Academy. Our brothers have not been able to get close yet."

Let alone beat it down.

what?

Tsukamoto Taro was so angry that he slapped the table hard.

"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense."

He was mentally prepared for not being able to grab all the trebuchets.

As a result, let alone grabbing, Okamoto didn't even touch the edge of the opponent's position.

For a moment, Tsukamoto Taro's eyes turned red with anger, and the food on the table no longer tasted good.

He stood up with a cry, walked straight out of the tent, and climbed up to the watchtower with murderous intent.

Look up. On the Luzuo River, the Japanese pirate soldiers were still building the bridge like ants moving.

But this time, instead of one building, three were built.

It’s just that the bridge-building technology of this era was reluctant. Whether a bridge could be built first depended on the width of the river.

As long as the river is wider, the bridge usually cannot be built.

Therefore, although all three bridges are under construction, only the one connecting the post road in the middle is being repaired the fastest, and the attack and defense at the bridge ends on both sides are also the most intense.

Humph.

Tsukamoto Taro snorted coldly, his face as dark as ink.

If it weren't for the two unfinished bridges up and down the river, everything in front of us would be exactly the same as yesterday.

He had promised Ishikawa Taki that he would capture Luzuo Academy today.

If Dinghai Pier sends someone over again to ask about the battle situation...

"Send a message to Okamoto," Tsukamoto Taro was so angry that his teeth chattered, "If he can't defeat Luzuo Academy by tonight, he doesn't have to come back."

"Yes!" The guards next to him looked at each other in shock, and after regaining their senses, they quickly spread the word.

Okamoto, who was supervising the battle at the front, received the news and was so upset that he wanted to vomit blood.

There are countless lieutenants around the general, and everyone else is keeping safe, but he is the one who gets hot-headed and goes to challenge him.

As a result, not only did he not get any credit for his work, but he was also ruined and might even be killed.

Looking up at the dim sky, Oka felt even colder in his heart.

There is not much time left for yourself.

I don’t know how much time passed,

Wow.

There was a burst of warm cheers from the front, and the bridge connecting the East and West Post Road was once again repaired.

Okamoto was heartbroken and pulled out his sword.

"Guards, follow me!"

He doesn't believe it anymore.

----

Luzuo Academy, watchtower.

Lu Yulong, Lin Hanmo and Xia Bang sat carelessly around a small table, chatting and throwing some broad beans into their mouths from time to time to kill time.

At this time, the guard who had been staring ahead put down his telescope.

"Three generals, the bridge on the post road is about to be repaired by Japanese pirates again."

Oh?

Lu Yulong calmly turned his head and glanced at the hourglass.

"It's time, you two, we have dragged this big fish Ishikawa Taki for another hour."

Haha.

Lin Hanmo and Xia Bangwei laughed loudly.

Ishikawa Taki is so cunning.

He huddled at Dinghai Pier and refused to step into the mainland. At the same time, he had people and boats in his hands.

If he realized something was wrong, he would probably abandon everything and immediately board the ship and go to sea.

By then, the sea will be vast and boundless. No matter how many barrier ships there are in the East China Sea, they will still be unable to block it.

Therefore, it is better to give a little hope to Taro Tsukamoto on the opposite side and Taki Ishikawa behind him, so that they think that Luzuo Academy is in danger of falling, and they can break through it if they work harder, and then they can drive straight in.

"Do you want to continue playing this cat and mouse game with Ishikawa Taki?" Lu Yulong asked.

Chabon remained silent, stood up and looked in the direction of the windmill.

"General Lu's windmill has not arrived yet. It will probably take some time for the East China Sea Barrier to block the East China Sea. Let's wait a little longer."

"Okay." Lu Yulong and Lin Hanmo naturally had no objection.

Chabon raised his telescope and took another look.

Tsk tsk.

He sensed: "The Japanese pirates are coming, and there are quite a lot of them this time."

"Since the Dingxi counterattack last year, I haven't touched him for a long time. Now I feel very itchy. Why don't I go down and chop him for General Lin this time?"

Lu Yulong and Lu Yulong were not surprised. They looked at each other and nodded, saying, "Then you go."

As for him, in order to catch the big fish Ishikawa Taki, Nalu Yulong's general flag cannot show up yet.

Happy New Year on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
