My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 508 Lu Zhao’s Rage Level

The envoy from Heianjing is still on his way.

Takeda, who has retreated five miles to the village again, has always felt a feeling of panic in the past two days. This is the first time he has appeared in this world.

In the hustle and bustle of the camp, soldiers came and went, busy setting up tents, and with the sound of voices and the sound of horse hooves, four generals, Itagaki Nobukata, Amari Kotai, Morokaku Kosada, and Iitomi Komasa, entered the tent together.

At the top of the table, Takeda Shingen, who was sitting on a folding stool, knelt down and saluted.

Takeda Shingen was wearing a large red armor and a white yak mane bag on his head. His body was not considered tall, but his head looked surprisingly big.

He waved the military equipment (fan) in his hand, and the four of them stood up and walked to both sides in turn and sat down on their knees. They looked at Takeda Shingen, the leader, with solemn expressions, trying to figure out from the other person's expression why they retreated five miles this time. .

"Xia's soldiers and horses are surprisingly quiet. After we failed to cross the sea at night to attack his military camp last time, the expected revenge did not come. I feel uneasy."

He probably knew why the four of them were looking at him without speaking. Takeda Shingen didn't hide anything, so he told them the confusion in his heart.

At this time, Ganli Hutai pressed his knees with his palms and frowned: "People from the Xia country, will they cross the sea from the other two directions?"

The commander rode a fast horse on the muddy ground and rushed to the military commander's tent. Along the way, the soldiers who were eating simple meals around the campfire raised their faces and looked over one by one. The commander was reined in in front of the tent a moment later. The horse stopped, causing Takeda Shingen who was eating inside to stop his chopsticks.

"The people of Xia want to defraud me..." Takeda Shingen is so old, how can he not see something? His tone is stern, but there is a smile on his face, looking at the two people who are still glaring at each other.

Before two breaths had passed, Na Shifan added another sentence.

When everyone heard this, even if they didn't finish what was said later, as long as Takeda Shingen didn't panic, they felt a little more at ease.

"You are not as tall as their soldiers, why should you kill them? If you are hit by their big ship on the sea, they will throw you into the sea and drown you!" Ganli Hutai was also a person with a fiery temper, so he turned around and yelled at the other person.

It turned out to be waiting for him here.

Takeda Shingen also has this kind of food combination. It's not that he doesn't want to eat better. Yunguo Island is so big and the ingredients are limited. It's pretty good to have such a meal.

"If the Xia people dare to attack across the sea, I will kill them when they cross the sea!"

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, only Iito Homasa brought the topic back to discussing how to defeat the enemy every time. When he mentioned this past strategy, he was immediately denied by Takeda Shingen.

"I heard that the Emperor of Xia opposite has Lu Bu...and Xiang Yu, Takeda-sama. Is this true?" Itagaki Nobukata asked tentatively, and then was interrupted by Zhu Jiaohusada, who held his hands. knees, with an excited look on his face.

"I don't know what Emperor Xia is eating. I guess he won't be used to seafood and will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea!" Takeda Shingen took a sip of the soup, picked up a squid tentacle, dipped it in the soy sauce, and slowly ate it into his mouth.

But few people compare them to those counselors, such as Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, and Xun You. After all, strategies are all based on the situation and vary from person to person.

"There are many famous generals in China, and there are also many of us. What we should consider now is not personal bravery, but how to defend against the Xia people. Now that they are not moving, we can only rely on them. It is too passive. It is better to use the woodpecker tactic... "

Takeda Shingen and the Four Heavenly Kings put down their bowls and chopsticks when they saw the figure coming in. After being searched behind him, the messenger quickly stepped forward, half-kneeling and saluted, and prepared to dictate the news to Takeda Shingen in front of him.

Once he returns to Ping'an Capital, Xia's soldiers and horses can land directly without any hindrance. But if he doesn't return reinforcements, he will hold all the elite soldiers and horses in his hands. There are not many soldiers available there, and there are even less elites. If he doesn't go back, Ping'an Capital will be destroyed. If he fell, he would be homeless, and the soldiers under his command would have no fighting spirit to use.

"It is also possible what you are saying. The military advisor of the Emperor of Xia Kingdom should be an outstanding person in China. Unfortunately, we have not found out the names of all the civil and military personnel of Xia Kingdom. If we know who they are, we will rely on our understanding of them. You don’t have to be so tied up.”

After a while, Ganli Hutai spoke first.

Just as the two people were bickering over there, another Takeda Tenwang, Iito Homasa, said softly: "It may not be impossible to attack from both sides, but traps and traps have been placed in the nearest places suitable for landing, such as beaches and dense forests. If the camp sentry lands from both sides, there will be no movement!"

"Are you coming from Heiankyo?" Takeda Shingen saw the anxious expression on the other party's face, and his heart skipped a beat, obviously having a bad guess.

"Takeda-sama?" Amari Houtai stood up and walked out of his seat, looking at the old man worriedly.

"It's better if you come. I want to compete with him. If I defeat Lu Bu or Xiang Yu, Honda Tadakatsu will not be able to hold his head high in front of me!"

The big tent is open-air, without a roof, and is only surrounded by cloth.

The two people who stared angrily turned their faces away and looked at Takeda Shingen. The other two kings also frowned, presumably thinking about what he said.

The famous ministers and fierce generals of China are extremely famous in the Japanese country, otherwise they would not compare some of their own fierce generals with them, such as the one-eyed dragon Date Masamune, the Japanese version of Zhao Yun Sanada Yukimura, etc., the Japanese version of Lu Bu Honda Tadakatsu, etc. …

"They did this on purpose, just to make me think and make random guesses, so that I can't judge their behavior. Do you think I'm right?"

Tread...  

Takeda Shingen's eyelids twitched, and now he understood why he had been feeling uneasy for the past two days, and why the Emperor of Xia Kingdom opposite him had been standing still.

The old man was silent for a while, his bad thoughts suppressed, and everyone smiled reluctantly: "Don't panic, even though the Xia cavalry is powerful, they drove straight into the borders of Ping An Jing, but after all, they are a lone army. If they have infantry, My heart is..."

As he spoke, in the camp outside, the patrolling soldiers saw from a distance the commander with a small flag, galloping on his horse. Knowing that there was news coming from Ping An Jing, he did not stop him and quickly asked people to remove the roadblock and let the other party directly enter the camp gate. .

So many times, information is conveyed orally.

The person who said this was Zhujiaohuding, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, a man of considerable courage, but not tall, but extremely strong.

Seeing the change in Takeda Shingen's expression, the messenger felt even more uneasy, fearing that if he told about the Xia Kingdom's soldiers and horses, he would be used as something to vent his anger, so he would be pulled out and chopped with a knife.

"Master Takeda, I haven't finished yet...it's two Xia Kingdom soldiers and horses, and the other one is infantry."

It was almost past noon, and it was time to eat. In the main formation, people were coming from behind carrying today's meals. A plate was placed in front of each person, including a grilled salted fish, flavored soup, kelp rice balls, and three rice balls. Thumb-thick steamed squid tentacles, and a small dish of sauce.

As he ate, he felt much better now.

The old man shook his arms with a dark face, obviously still wary of this woodpecker strategy. You must know that he followed this strategy and fought with Kenshin Sugi, but was killed by the opponent directly to his own formation, far away from him. Only a few dozen meters away, he was almost killed.

The two men immediately glared at each other, but since Takeda Shingen was here, the two naturally would not fight.

"Over there in Heianjing...over there..." Shiban weighed it up, and finally mustered up the courage to tell everyone what happened there.

That war severely damaged his vitality and lost many generals.

As a messenger, there is a tradition in Japan that does not use any paper to deliver messages, so as to avoid being captured alive on the way to deliver orders, and confidential letters being taken away by the enemy, thus leaking secrets.

When the guards outside the tent saw the tired looking Shifan, they did not dare to neglect him and opened the curtain to let him in quickly.

Takeda Shingen's face instantly darkened, and he clenched his hands into fists at his side. Then, he kicked the envoy's face hard, sending him flying out, and waved to call the guards outside.

"Drag him down and kill him! Cut him into several sections, cook them and serve them to other soldiers!"

The Four Heavenly Kings of Takeda looked at the angry old man in surprise. Takeda Shingen was obviously embarrassed by the other party's half-words.

For a moment, they couldn't say any more, so they turned around and said, "Master Takeda, are you going back to Heian Kyo to aid now?"

"No!" Takeda Shingen suddenly shouted: "Even if there are two Xia Kingdom soldiers and horses, I don't believe they have the courage to attack the city!"

No matter whether the situation becomes serious or not, Takeda Shingen still has to take a gamble.

In his mind, if an army goes deep alone, it is impossible to have too many soldiers and horses. Even if the opponent brings infantry, as long as the number is not large, it is impossible to attack the city. What's more, after Heian Kyo was massacred in Nagano Castle, he deliberately made it taller and thicker. A lot.

"Then I will bet my life and peace on the Kyoto with Takeda-sama!" The strong-tempered and impulsive Morokaku Tosada dragged his short body and gave his hand heavily.

The other three people had no choice but to give up: "Fight with all your might to stop Xia's main force."

Even though the Xia army behind them made their hearts sing in their throats, the Japanese tradition of gambling on the fate of the country has been well preserved.

Of course, the reason why he dared to bet was because Takeda Shingen knew that the Oda army was behind him, and he did not believe that Oda Nobunaga, who was known as the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, would sit idly by and ignore it!
"Oda Nobunaga's troops are also elite cavalry, not to mention the elite Ashigaru team. He will not watch Heian Kyo fall into the hands of the Xia people, and will definitely send troops to support, so we can continue..."

Before he finished speaking, there was another sound of horse hooves outside.

The messenger, who was also carrying a small flag, rushed in in a hurry, and then knelt directly on the ground, causing everyone's expressions to change.

Ganlihutai asked directly: "Did Heian Jing fall?"

The other three people, including Takeda Shingen, also held their breath and stared at the messenger.

"No."

Hearing these two words from the other party, there were obviously several sounds of relief in the tent, but the next words of the other party made them feel excited again.

"Yes...it's the Oda Army..."

When the commander saw the expressions of the generals and Takeda Shingen, he was too hesitant to speak.

The old man stared angrily and shouted: "Say it quickly!"

"Introduction to Takeda-sama... The Oda army was defeated, and the Ashigaru general Kuki Yoshitaka was killed in the battle by the Natsu Kingdom general!"

The Oda army was defeated?
Jiugui Jialong was killed?

When Takeda Shingen heard these words, his eyes suddenly filled with anger. As soon as the anger rose, his already old body became unable to withstand it, and he stood swaying several times.

"Oda Nobunaga...is known as the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven...what kind of battles are he fighting under his command!"

The faces of the Four Heavenly Kings also showed a look of surprise at this moment. Someone then remembered the other general and quickly asked: "Who is the general of Xia?"

"I heard he was called Guan Yu from the end of Han Dynasty...the red-faced one..."

The four people in the tent, Itagaki Nobukata, Amari Koyasu, Morokaku Kosada, and Iitomi Komasa, suddenly took a breath of cold air. That was a man who was known as the God of War on the Japanese island.

"Ah!" Takeda Shingen roared loudly, pulled out the sword from his waist, and cut the desk in half.

"I don't care who he is, I swear to catch him, cut off his head like the battle in Maicheng, and then give it to the Emperor of Xia to show to those Chinese civil and military officials!"

Immediately, the old man turned around, raised the blade in his hand, and pointed at the curtain door where the battle was taking place: "...Immediately return to Ping'an Jing to aid. The Red Bei team will set up an ambush on the way. Once the Xia Emperor's army lands to pursue them, they will ambush them halfway."

"Hai!"

There was no hesitation this time.

……

The sky was bright, and across the undulating sea, a few miles away on the other side, the 60,000 Xia Kingdom soldiers and horses stationed on the eastern coast of Shikoku Island were completely quiet.

Only about 10,000 people stayed on duty, and most of the rest were in the mountains, where the generals practiced the essentials of mountain warfare.

Su Chen was also in the mountain. When he heard the news brought back by the scouts, a cold look suddenly flashed in his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Is there any movement from the Takeda army on the opposite side?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there are indeed signs of mobilization of Japanese soldiers and horses. Several groups of Japanese soldiers on the coast are mobilizing. Although they are doing it very covertly, the brothers who inquired are experienced veterans."

Su Chen naturally trusted the scouts under his command. After all, they were all fought in hundreds of battles. The slightest disturbance could never be hidden from their eyes and ears, especially the details, such as footprints, smoke... and so on.

In the past few days, Su Chen learned the Japanese language from the officials under Jia Xu's tent, and roughly knew who the daimyo on the other side was, Takeda Shingen. Back then, Su Chen had played this game published in this guy's name.

"Have all the red armored cavalry and infantry left?"

"I didn't see the brother over there."

Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others who are returning from a walk in the forest will hear the scout's answer.

"Your Majesty, are those soldiers and horses powerful?" Lu Bu dusted off his hands and walked to the ancestral hearse. He had a high desire to conquer strong men and strong soldiers.

"It's very powerful in Japan. It's called the Takeda Akabi. It's an elite cavalry with auxiliary archers."

"Haha, bow rider?"

Although Lu Bu showed no expression on his face, his clenched fists showed that he was already interested. Zhao Yun, who was next to him, was naturally not far behind and said with a smile: "Marquis Wen, let Yun do this Japanese cavalry."

"Zilong, you don't have enough experience to be sure, so let someone do it!"

Seeing the two of them arguing, Su Chen waved his hand, "You two generals, don't be careless. The Japanese are elite, and I heard that they have Japanese generals who borrowed your two names."

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun suddenly looked confused.

"Haha... Yukimura Sanada of the Japanese island Zhao Yun is compared to General Zhao, Tadakatsu Honda is compared to Lu Bu's alive, and Maro Tamura, the warrior god of Japanese island is compared to General Seki..."

Here, Xiang Yu suddenly laughed, raised his hand to indicate the height of the two people, and then lowered it, roughly taking the appearance of the two people and scaling it to the height of a Japanese.

This comparison.

Lu Bu himself seemed to have noticed his short appearance, his eyes were blazing with fire, he turned around and punched a nearby tree trunk as thick as a bowl, directly breaking the tree in its middle.

Zhao Yun showed an angry look, lowered his voice and made a difficult sound.

"Japanese pirates, how dare you humiliate me?"

Su Chen stepped out of the carriage and patted the two of them on the shoulders. Immediately, he turned around and walked out of the forest. His voice spread: "Go back to camp and send troops to Yunguo Island!"
