Chapter 1618: Good News

The next morning, Takeshi Sanada and Nobuyuki Tanaka divided their troops into two groups and attacked the south.

Two days later, Takeshi Sanada and Nobuyuki Tanaka captured two cities one after another.

In order to intimidate the enemy, both of them ordered a massacre in the city.

In just one day, all the people of the Yu Kingdom in the two cities were slaughtered, the blood soaked the land of the two cities, countless people were buried alive, and human heads of all sizes were hung on the city walls.

At the same time, the two men also sent people to various cities in the south to spread the message.

Wherever their army went, anyone who refused to open the city and surrender would be massacred on the day the city was captured.

The two men's bloody killing really had a deterrent effect.

When they led their troops to attack again, the soldiers defending the city opened the city gates and surrendered. The two men each gathered a part of their troops and continued the attack.

Although Yun Zheng did not lead the troops, he paid close attention to the war in front every day.

Upon learning that the troops led by Takeshi Sanada and Nobuo Tanaka were advancing too smoothly, Yun Zheng couldn't help but become secretly worried.

He wanted Takeshi Sanada and Nobuo Tanaka to lead their troops to fight against several territories in the south and suffer mutual losses, not to let them advance so smoothly!

These lords in the south are too unreliable.

These two people have massacred the city. Don’t they know to concentrate their superior forces to deal with one group of people first?

Are we just going to let Takeshi Sanada and Nobuo Tanaka advance like a hot knife through butter?

This was the first time in his life that Yun Zheng wanted to be defeated so much.

But he suddenly realized that sometimes it was quite difficult to lose a battle.

If he wasn't worried that his people would be killed by those lords, he would have wanted to send people over to help those lords come up with advice.

Looking at Yun Zheng's sad face, Jia Yao just wanted to take off her shoes and slap him in the face.

I have never seen such a person!

Although Tanaka Nobuyuki and Sanada Takeshi led their troops with great momentum, he was so worried that he lost his appetite!

If you didn’t know, you would think they had suffered a huge defeat at the front!

"Okay! Stop worrying!"

Jia Yao glanced at Bai Yunzheng and said, "I estimate that the front will soon suffer a defeat, most likely by Tanaka Nobuo."

Yun Zheng turned his head curiously, "How do you know they are going to lose?"

"Guess!"

Jia Yao said calmly: "Sanada Takeshi's leadership is passable, but Tanaka Nobuyuki is neither brave nor wise. He relied on the enemy being frightened by artillery fire to win several battles in a row, and now he has no idea of ​​his own limitations. Such a person is likely to make mistakes on the battlefield..."

Perhaps, Tanaka Nobuyuki did not even realize why he was able to win victory after victory.

He mistakenly took Yun Zheng's solid support as his own ability.

It had only been a short time since he took charge of the army alone, but he already started to act arrogantly.

This kind of person is easily defeated.

The abilities of those lords in the south may not be that great, but they are definitely stronger than Tanaka Nobuyuki.

Once Tanaka Nobuyuki is greedy for merit and acts rashly, he will almost certainly fall into the enemy's trap.

"Now that you mention it, it seems so."

Yun Zheng smiled, "That depends on whether the enemy will set a trap for them!"

He agreed with Jia Yao's judgment.

Nobuo Tanaka's troops were relatively small, and Nobuo Tanaka was an unknown person before.

If the enemy wanted to set a trap for them, they would most likely choose Tanaka Nobu's troops.

The same applies to letting him choose.

The normal choice is to concentrate superior forces, first defeat the smaller enemy army, and then turn around to attack the other army.

Yun Zheng and Jia Yao had nothing to do, so they used this to conduct war game simulations.

They assumed that they were the lords of the south. If they were attacked by Tanaka Nobuyuki and Sanada Takeshi, how would they defend and destroy the enemy?

However, according to their deduction, it can be said that Tanaka Nobuyuki and Sanada Takeshi are almost certain to lose.

Both men had several plans to defeat both armies.

Yun Zheng almost wanted to send someone to remind Tanaka Nobuyuki and Sanada Takeshi.

It would be really troublesome if they were wiped out before they eliminated the several lords in the south.

At this moment, Lin Ji came quickly.

"Your Highness, urgent military intelligence!"

Lin Ji spoke hurriedly before he even entered the door.

Urgent military intelligence?

Listening to Lin Ji's words, Yun Zheng and Jia Yao couldn't help but look at each other silently.

Could it be that Jia Yao was right?

When Lin Ji walked in, Yun Zheng immediately asked, "Who sent it back?"

"General Qin Qihu sent someone to send it back!" Lin Ji replied.

Did Qin Qihu send someone to send it back?

Qin Qihu is leading his troops to support Tanaka Nobuyuki from behind!

So, it was really Tanaka Nobuyuki and his group that got into trouble?

Soon, Yun Zheng took over the urgent military intelligence report and started to check it.

As he watched, a smile appeared on Yun Zheng's face.

"It seems that there is good news!"

Jia Yao looked at Yun Zheng with a smile.

"No, it's bad news!"

Yun Zheng handed the urgent military report in his hand to Jia Yao: "Qin Qihu sent someone to deliver the news. Tian Zhongxin was greedy for merit and advanced rashly, and was ambushed by the enemy's elite troops. Although the enemy was eliminated with the help of Qin Qihu, his troops suffered heavy losses..."

This is bad news indeed.

But it is good news for him now.

"Oh?"

Jia Yao raised the corner of his mouth and quickly took the military intelligence report and opened it to check.

In this battle, out of more than 15,000 troops under Tanaka Nobuyuki, only less than 4,000 were left.

If Qin Qihu had not led his troops to launch a surprise attack on the enemy and disrupted the enemy's plan, Tanaka Nobu's 15,000 troops would most likely have been wiped out.

Tanaka Nobuyuki and Qin Qihu worked together to kill more than 13,000 enemy troops and captured more than 5,000 enemy troops.

Tanaka Nobuyuki was injured when he led his troops to launch a counterattack against the enemy, but his life is not in danger for the time being.

At present, Qin Qihu has taken over the military power from Tanaka Nobuyuki and sent someone to send Tanaka Nobuyuki back to Shigao City to recuperate.

Looking at the contents of the urgent report, Jia Yao couldn't help but glance at Bai Yunzheng.

Tanaka Nobu's troops suffered heavy losses and Tanaka was injured.

Isn’t this a double happiness for Yun Zheng?

Yun Zheng was indeed very happy.

Now, he doesn't have to worry.

In addition to being happy, Yun Zheng read the urgent report from beginning to end.

The southern lords do not have many elite troops.

Having lost so many elite troops this time, it will be difficult to launch an effective counterattack later.

Tanaka Nobuyuki's value is probably coming to an end.

It's time to start preparing for the next steps.

After a brief thought, Yun Zheng called the messenger: "Tell Qin Qihu to stop the attack, lead his troops to rest and adjust morale! Order Wang Qi to lead his troops to meet Qin Qihu immediately!"

Afterwards, Yun Zheng looked at Lin Ji again: "You personally lead your men to Sanada Takeshi's troops and tell Sanada Takeshi the news that Tanaka Nobu's troops suffered heavy losses! And tell him that I am very angry now. If you don't see the heads of those lords within five days, I will personally go to the front line to lead the troops..."

"Yes!"

Afterwards, Yun Zheng gave Lin Ji a few more instructions.

After Lin Ji left, Jia Yao immediately asked Yun Zheng with a playful look on his face: "Is Tanaka Nobuyuki going to die? Or should he be executed directly?"

She knew that Yun Zheng would never let Tanaka Nobuo live.

Now, Tanaka Nobuyuki’s value has been almost squeezed out by Yun Zheng.

It is estimated that Tanaka Nobuyuki's life is coming to an end.

"Let's take a look first!"

Yun Zheng did not give a definite answer, "Let's see how much value he can have in the future!"

If Tanaka Nobuyuki was no longer of great value, then he would have died...
