Chapter 1839 Pass on the order and don’t take Japanese prisoners

"Yamamoto, we were careless!" Otsuka Yoshio said slowly, his face a little depressed.

Yamamoto didn't know what Yoshio Otsuka meant.

Even if the Tang army really had 100,000 men, they still had 70,000 troops. Even if it were a head-to-head encounter, with the strength of their Japanese soldiers, they would not necessarily be a match for the Tang army.

Why is my lord suddenly like this?

"Sir, what are you talking about?" Yamamoto frowned and looked at Otsuka Yoshio.

"The Tang army should be not just 50,000, nor just 100,000, but a full 200,000."

"What?" Yamamoto's expression changed suddenly, and he quickly asked: "How is this possible?"

"At first we thought Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo were leading armies to fight in the new city. In fact, they were just acting for us."

"The so-called corpses our people saw were actually living people. They secretly sent the people to Yangcheng, making us think that Yangcheng actually didn't have many defenders, which led to a fight between us and Yeon Gaesumun."

"But until this point, Tang Jun still hasn't moved. Even if some people had doubts before, they are still indifferent to our fight. How can we not believe that Tang Jun really doesn't have many people."

"But now, when we enter Yangcheng, we fight with the Baekje army because of those traps, and they take action!"

"This opportunity was grasped by them without any flaws!"

"Yamamoto, we may have to die here!" Otsuka Yoshio slowly explained to Yamamoto.

The last sentence was about to die here, and Yoshio Otsuka even showed a wry smile on his face.

He didn't expect that he had worked so hard, always thinking about taking all the credit alone, falling out with Yeon Gaesumun, and killing all the Baekje troops, but he was still in the plot of the Tang army on the opposite side.

That Zhao Chen, he can actually scheme to such an extent!

Yamamoto's expression slowly returned from pale to normal.

Just like what Otsuka Yoshio said, it would be useless for them to be afraid now.

If the Tang army had 200,000 troops, the 70,000 of them would definitely have no way out.

Since the Tang army could cut off the south gate, couldn't they block the other gates?

Now, apart from rushing out desperately, they can only die in this city!

"Sir, now is not the time to feel sad. We still have 70,000 troops. Even if we charge, we should be able to get some people out."

"If we stay in the city and wait until all our food is eaten and the soldiers have no strength, then it will really be a dead end!" Yamamoto reminded Otsuka Yoshio.

Yoshio Otsuka nodded.

He didn't know that waiting for the food to run out would lead to death, so now while the soldiers still had the strength, they should rush out of the way.

Which path to choose is also extremely difficult.

Going back from the south city gate, we not only have to deal with 50,000 Tang troops, but we also have to cross the river.

70,000 people were staring at 50,000 Tang troops, followed by Xu Shiji's 50,000 troops. How many people could they charge out?

And they still had to cross the river. Wouldn't the other side destroy all the boats they came over?

If you go to the South City Gate, everyone will probably die on the river bank.

But if they go to other city gates, they will also be attacked from the front and back, and the further away from the south, the less retreat they have.

Otsuka Yoshio couldn't think of any solution for a while.

Sitting on the ground expressionlessly.

"Sir, I think it's better to rush through the south city gate at night. When we came in before, we had blown up all the city walls, and there was basically nothing.

What a defensive position. "

"And the Tang Army just arrived at the river bank today, so they shouldn't be ready so quickly. We will attack their South City Gate tonight. They will definitely not expect it." Yamamoto analyzed the situation at the South City Gate.

Yoshio Otsuka didn't answer immediately.

What he was worried about was that Shan Ben thought Tang Jun had not expected it.

That Zhao Chen, since he could devise such a deceptive cover, would not have thought of what Yamamoto had thought of.

He was afraid that if he rushed to the south city gate now, he would encounter a more terrifying ambush than elsewhere.

"Sir, you can't hesitate any longer." Seeing that Otsuka Yoshio didn't speak, Yamamoto urged anxiously.

Yoshio Otsuka really had no other choice.

For now, they can only take a chance.

Whether they live or die, it all depends on their fate!

…

"Immediately send an order to Cheng Chumo, asking him to lead his 30,000 men to support the south city gate river bank." Outside the north city gate, Zhao Chen handed the ordering soldier a token.

"Yes!" The ordering soldier took the order and left.

The other generals looked at Zhao Chen in confusion.

"Your Highness, why did you suddenly ask General Xiao Cheng to support General Qin? Thirty thousand troops are missing. If the Japanese army attacks from that side..."

"When something happened at the South City Gate, Otsuka Yoshio must have guessed what our actual troop strength is. As long as Otsuka Yoshio is not a lunatic, he will not continue to move forward."

"Instead of moving forward, he can only choose to retreat, and to retreat, the South City Gate is obviously the best."

"Where the city wall has been blown up by them before, it is completely undefendable."

"He still has 70,000 horses, leaving 10,000 to block Xu's army, and the remaining 60,000 to attack Qin Huaiyu's 50,000 army. Even if the winner cannot be determined for a while, Otsuka Yoshio himself

I was still confident of leaving from the river. "

"The dispatch office is silent because we don't intend to let a Japanese person return to Japan alive!" Zhao Chen slowly explained to the generals.

After listening to Zhao Chen's analysis, the generals nodded with understanding on their faces.

The eyes looking at Zhao Chen became more and more respectful.

With such strategizing people in the Tang army, why worry about the enemy being immortal?

"Don't be idle. Go and support Commander Xu. In addition, send an order to General Cheng and Duke Wei, asking them to wait for the battle in the city to begin and immediately lead their troops to support Commander Xu. No matter how many people the enemy leaves behind to block the attack, they must all be killed."

"Send the order, I don't want Japanese prisoners!" Zhao Chen looked at everyone with firm eyes.

"yes!"

…

"Sir, we are ready." Yamamoto, wearing a suit of armor, looked at Otsuka Yoshio with piercing eyes.

Otsuka Yoshio sighed slightly.

Yamamoto insisted on stopping the Tang army in front of him and giving him a chance to defeat the Tang army at the south city gate.

Otsuka Yoshio knew that this might be the last time they would see each other.

"It's all my responsibility for harming you, Yamamoto." Yoshio Otsuka patted Yamamoto on the shoulder.

"Why do you say this, sir? Ever since Yamamoto joined the army, he has been prepared to die fighting for his country."

"It is a great honor for Yamamoto to serve His Majesty the Emperor today."

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Yamamoto shouted loudly.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor." Otsuka Yoshio nodded.

Yamamoto and Yoshio Otsuka bowed their heads, turned around and walked outside.

Soon, the distant shouts of killing and the sound of weapons clashing reached the camp. Yoshio Otsuka walked out of the camp and looked back at the south gate behind him: "jijigi!"
