Chapter 494 Massacre of the Island

On Yujin Mountain, three thousand Japanese soldiers were searching the mountain extensively to kill Abe's two assassins. Masamune Date turned red with anger and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, but he did not dare to leave the heavy guard of his soldiers for even half a step.

The skills of those two assassins were so ridiculously high that it was difficult to use common sense to deduce them.

"Search inch by inch, if these two are not dead, I will not be able to sleep peacefully!"

Date Masamune was so angry that he was stunned. Abe Seimei was not his subordinate, and he was also respected by the famous people in Japan. He was killed under his nose. How to explain to others?

Now that the person is dead, the kamikaze lingering near the Japanese island has failed. It is estimated that the Xia army may be attacking at this moment.

"Kotaro, you must find these two people and bring their heads to me!"

"Yes!"

Fuma Kotaro was wearing a Hannya mask, so his expression couldn't be clearly seen, but he must have been somewhat confident in agreeing so neatly.

Date Masamune saw this and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from behind. A short Japanese Shiban came here on a war horse. Shiban looked panicked. Before the horse could stop, he panicked. Zhang got off his horse, knelt down and held his hands in arms.

"Lord Date, Xia...Xia's army...is coming to the island!"

During the time he came to Shikoku, he joined forces with Uesugi Kenshin, who was also pushed to the front, and wanted to jointly build a Shikoku that belonged to both of them, supervise the construction of naval forces here, build Nagano Castle, plunder merchants, and force Maritime merchants from other countries formed a trade network with Nagano Castle.

"The terrain is difficult, but we must hold on to it. We cannot let Xia's army pass easily."

Half of the front end of Shikoku Island was shrouded in huge chaos.

It just came so fast that it was difficult for people to react.

However, there were still many Japanese soldiers who escaped quietly on the way, or were caught by the Xia army who were chasing them one after another, and were chopped down on the spot.

After three troops of the Xia Kingdom landed on the west coast and the 30,000 Japanese soldiers stationed there were defeated, the scattered Japanese fled desperately.

Although his body is disabled and he is in his seventies, his back is not rickety at all, and his momentum has never weakened.

"Inform all the people on the island that Xia Kingdom is here for the purpose of massacre, and they will not accept surrender!"

Even on the way, these Japanese soldiers were organized into teams by their generals, reorganized, and received orders from above to guard dangerous terrain, or to go to nearby villages to publicize the terror of Xia's army.

The wind blew, and he watched Fuma Kotaro ride away. Date Masamune hesitated for a moment, then turned the horse's head and headed down the mountain. Shiban's report just now did not surprise him much. After losing the protection of the divine wind, It was only a matter of time before the Xia army attacked the Japanese island.

Since losing his right hand, he has been unable to sleep for many nights, not because of the pain of losing his right hand, but because the opponent's assassination seemed to see the majesty of Xia's army in the future.

"Immediately return to Nagano Castle, shrink your troops, and consolidate the city's defenses. In addition, immediately send people to Yunguo Island and ask them to send reinforcements immediately!"

This is the reason why he was pushed to the "Shikoku" island and was at the forefront. After all, his two former masters were here at the moment.

At the same time, it also made people covet the Xia Kingdom to the west with the highest combat readiness attitude, inquiring about information and infiltrating their bureaucracy.

In his past life, he could be called a soldier. He lost an eye when he was young, but he still succeeded the family governor and devoted himself to external expansion.

Immediately, he rushed back to Nagano Castle in the north of Shikoku Island with five thousand light legs and four hundred samurai as quickly as possible.

This seventy-year-old 17th-generation governor of the Date family was a famous daimyo in Ou during the Azuchi-Momoyama period and the founder of the Sendai clan in the Edo period. His childhood name was Brahmaru.

"Send all the war ninjas to assassinate the Xia general at any cost!"

Just in time to return,

On the way down the mountain, Date Masamune spoke quickly and issued several orders to go out. When he saw that all the envoys had been sent out, he felt a little relieved.

It is a pity that he had the ambition to unify the Japanese islands, but he did not have the ability to wipe out the Japanese islands, and finally surrendered to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Unfortunately, after the death of the talented and strategic Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he turned to the Tokugawa family.

After that, the three armies of Bingzhou, Youyan, and Tang armies showed no intention of stopping and recuperating. These three armies were the founding armies of the Great Xia Dynasty. They were powerful in combat. When they were still at their peak, they captured the beachhead and quickly spread the war to Everywhere I walked on the island.

An hour after they reached the Japanese island, sixteen Japanese villages were already burning with fire. The Japanese who had escaped a plague were not immune to this attack.

The killings spread crazily on the island. One after another, the Xia army was like a tide that covered the past, constantly washing away the Japanese villages everywhere. They were sorted out over and over again. The Japanese who were lucky enough to escape were killed when the next wave of sorting came over. They caught them, chopped off their heads, and hung them on stakes or treetops along the way.

The defeated Japanese soldiers wanted to resist the Japanese civilian organizations in the village, but this weak resistance could not even spark a sporadic spark in the face of the veteran Xia Kingdom soldiers and horses, and was later crushed to pieces in this devastating disaster. trace.

"drive!"

Baima Yicong, who once set foot on the northern grasslands and the lands of the Central Plains and Liangzhou in the northwest, set foot on the land of the Japanese with slaughter.

Zhao Yun was dressed in a white robe, holding a bright silver gentian gun and galloping on his horse. It was unclear how many villages were burned down in his field of vision.

At this time, the people here had not been killed yet. He held the gun in one hand and pressed the hilt of the sword in the other, asking the main cavalry to wait on the road outside. He led his soldiers to approach there and stood at the entrance of the simple village, killing people and setting fire inside. There was an endless stream of voices.

The crying little Japanese woman rushed out of the house, covered in fire, guarding the baby in her arms. When the baby's shrill cries came from her arms, the woman had made no sound, and the baby soon followed. Wrapped and swallowed by the flames, the cry of the baby inside gradually stopped.

To the southwest of the village, the massacre by a group of Tang troops continued, and dozens of Japanese were forced into a narrow alley.

Then, this group of less than a hundred Tang soldiers pushed in with weapons in hand. In the alley between the two houses, a fierce fight broke out. Both ends were blocked by Tang soldiers. They held long spears or used repeating crossbows to stab or shoot arrows at the Japanese in the alley.

Blood flew out, men's screams, women's screams, and children's cries merged into one. Some people tried to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

Then soldiers from Tang Dynasty, who had good habits, came over and stabbed them one by one on the chest and neck.

Among them were Japanese soldiers who had been defeated from the coast. Seeing that they could not escape by pretending to be dead, they suddenly stood up and rushed out. After running a few steps, they were shot to the ground by a rook.

The corpses and blood continued. After cleaning up the village, the Tang army set fire to all the thatched houses and continued to the next place.

When he saw Zhao Yun at the entrance of the village, he did not forget to salute him.

Zhao Yun also returned the courtesy one by one, and finally took one last look at the village where there were no more survivors. He tightened the reins, turned around, and led the cavalry to continue running.

Facing the murder of women and children, Zhao Yun still felt a little unbearable, but it was out of pity for the weak, but when he thought about the massacre of several villages in Linjun County and the killing of 800 villagers, he withdrew his pity.

When a country's military engages in the strategy of plundering and killing other countries, the people of that country will naturally enjoy this dividend.

Since you have enjoyed it, no one will be innocent when the reckoning comes.

Not long after the Japanese village was slaughtered there, the sound of fighting as the army advanced into the land of Shikoku Island was heard from all directions.

Zhao Yun passed through a piece of low grass. He suddenly let out a cry, reined in his horse, and put his arm on the hilt of his sword.

The gentian bright silver gun in his right hand was raised suddenly and hit the air.

It was a 'dang' sound.

The assassination came suddenly.

Within a few steps, a weed suddenly burst open along with the ground. A figure rushed out from the ground and threw a hidden weapon at Zhao Yun. At the same time, there were more than a dozen weeds in the field moving quickly on the ground, towards the three thousand white horses. Yi passes from the side.

The moment everyone reacted, the hidden weapon exploded with terrifying speed, and was then knocked into the air by the bright silver gun of Gentian. The assassin in mid-air drew the knife from behind with his backhand, slashed the blade in the air, and let out a sharp cry. :"Wow--"

The shrill and strange sound was like a crow's cry at night.

‘Wow’

The cloak was flying and the moment the guards rushed over, Zhao Yun drew his sword with his left hand, and the sword light rushed out of the scabbard——

Howling!

The man on the white horse stood up, as if a ball of sparks exploded in the air. At the same time, the air wave pushed away, and the sword light reflected the sun, blooming with a piercing light.

Standing on the horse, Zhao Yun looked indifferent. The green sword brought out a cold light and collided with the sword in the assassin's hand in mid-air.

Bah!

The sword that was struck was broken into two pieces, and the attacking assassin was also sent flying by the sword swung from the horseback.

It was a short Japanese man, holding half a sword. The body was also broken into two pieces in mid-air. When it fell, the internal organs were scattered on the ground.

"Wow!"

The Japanese assassins who had set up ambush around them rushed out of the ground one after another, leaped into the air, and while throwing hidden weapons, they faced arrows shot by these light cavalry on horseback who were accustomed to fighting.

Of the three thousand cavalry, even if only the thousand or so people in front had the opportunity to shoot arrows, the rain of thousands of arrows would instantly cover the dozen or so war ninjas who jumped into the air.

Densely packed arrows were nailed to the shoulders, face, chest, and thighs, crowding the tops.

Afraid that they were still alive, these white-horse righteous men put away their bows and picked up their spears, and rushed towards the corpses on the ground, which were full of arrows, and stabbed them fiercely.

A moment later, Zhao Yun said lightly: "Collect the arrows, then hang the bodies of these assassins on the nearby treetops, and let other soldiers and horses passing by be careful of Japanese assassins!"

He inserted his green sword back, turned around and started galloping.

After the order was given, all the riders here stopped. Immediately, a few riders were left behind to collect the arrows on the corpse and hang the body on a nearby treetop, while the rest followed Zhao Yun and continued forward.

At present, they are assisting the infantry of various armies and gradually surrounding Nagano Castle, which is located in the north of Shikoku and is close to the sea.

On June 12, the day after Xia's three armies and more than 60,000 people attacked Shikoku Island, various assassinations had already begun. However, such assassinations only caused a small splash in front of the mighty soldiers. The waves were quickly suppressed by the general trend.

Not long after, in the southern suburbs of Nagano, scouts from the Xia army could be seen running around in the fields.

It won't be long before the Xia army encircles Nagano. In the city, Date Masamune was still waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

On the fifth day, there were more and more enemy troops outside the city. That afternoon, he saw a huge white dragon flag on a black background.

The imperial flag of Daxia appeared in the distance.

The Emperor of Xia went on a personal expedition!
