Chapter 2344: Suicune VS Thunder General

 “What to do? What to do? What to do?”

In the main tent of the Japanese army, Tachibana Doyuki held his head in pain, with an expression on his face that was sometimes anxious and sometimes ferocious, which could be described as extremely divided.

From the moment the Qin and Wei cavalry caught up, Tachibana Michyuki, Kobayakawa Takai and other generals had already guessed that it would be difficult for them to retreat into the Minami Higo Kingdom this time.

The result was not what they expected. The Qin army's cavalry did not attack directly, but hung at the rear of the army. If you retreat, they will advance.

In the next two days, Tachibana Michyuki and other generals exhausted all methods, but still could not get rid of the Qin and Wei cavalry. They marched less than twenty miles in total, but the main force of the Qin and Wei coalition forces had already pursued them. Come up.

　　Previously, the Japanese army had a total of 100,000 troops, but they did not dare to fight head-on with the 70,000 Qin and Wei coalition forces. They could only rely on the mountains and rivers for passive defense.

Now the Japanese army only has 60,000 troops left, and the Qin and Wei coalition forces have only lost two to three thousand people. They are basically still in their prime. How can they win?

Therefore, when they learned that the Qin and Wei armies had caught up, Tachibana Michyuki and other generals were almost desperate.

　　If you fight, you will be defeated, but you cannot escape. Is there really no other way to survive?

In this desperate atmosphere, someone proposed to surrender to the Qin and Wei coalition forces, but as soon as that person finished speaking, he was beheaded on the spot by Gao Qiao Shaoyun.

 Takahashi Shao Yuncai's son died, and he hated the Qin and Wei coalition forces deeply, so naturally he would not allow anyone to surrender.

 Takahashi Shaoyun can kill a weakling, but he cannot kill a group of weaklings.

This is obviously a losing battle. No one wants to die in a meaningless battle, so a large number of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death want to surrender.

 Seeing that nearly half of the generals did not want to fight and wanted to surrender, it was naturally impossible for Takahashi Shaoyun to kill all these people.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Tachibana Michyuki proposed a false surrender strategy. He first pretended to surrender to the Qin army and then found a good opportunity to rebel. This also gave a step to the capitulation faction and the non-surrender faction, and both agreed to adopt the false surrender strategy.

Subsequently, Tachibana Michyuki sent an envoy to offer conditional surrender to Zhou Yu, but unexpectedly Zhou Yu ignored him.

At this time, the Japanese army was all panicked. They once again sent envoys to discuss, and lowered the bottom line in their hearts again.

What the Japanese army didn't know was that even if it was unconditional surrender, let alone conditional surrender, Zhou Yu would not accept it. What he wanted was blood and killing, and in this way, he would frighten the Japanese army in other areas and make them feel uncomfortable. Li was afraid of the Central Plains army.

Xia Houyuan didn't quite understand Zhou Yu's decision, so he stood up and retorted: "Captain Zhou, I feel that even if we want to frighten the Japanese, we don't have to push this group of Japanese soldiers into a desperate situation. The Japanese soldiers will definitely fight to the death if they don't see a way out, and our coalition forces are The casualties will be greater."

"Yes, we can completely accept the surrender of the Japanese army first, and then launch a general attack while they are relaxed. We will be able to easily annihilate this group of Japanese soldiers, and the casualties of our coalition forces will be smaller." Le Yi added.

As soon as these words came out, not only the generals of the Wei army, but also the generals of the Qin army felt that what Le Yi said was reasonable. After all, people do become crazy in despair.

After Zhou Yu glanced at Le Yi, he explained: "Of course I understand what General Le Yi said, but if I accept the surrender of the Japanese army, but breaks my promise and annihilates them instead, then no Japanese army will dare to do so in the future." If they surrender, the Japanese troops in this state will definitely fight to the death, and our coalition will encounter even greater obstacles.

Therefore, it is better to refuse the surrender of the Japanese army from the beginning, and wait until our coalition forces attack Honshu, and then agree to the surrender of the Japanese army. By then, a large number of Japanese troops will surrender without a fight. "

Zhou Yu never thought of continuing to kill like this. After all, killing alone cannot solve the problem. He will not always allow the Japanese army to surrender, but obviously not now, but only after making the entire Japanese army feel fear. Allow Japanese troops to surrender.

Various previous actions of the coalition forces, such as the Battle of Tsushima, the Great Victory of Bungo, the Massacres of Hizen and Chikugo, etc., have made the Japanese very awe of the Central Plains army, but this is still not enough. After all, awe is not fear, and killing and Killing is the best way to make people fearful.

 Only when the Japanese army is so feared by the Central Plains army that they can no longer resist, the threat to the coalition forces will be reduced to the minimum. At that time, the Japanese army can be allowed to surrender.

After listening to Zhou Yu's explanation, Xia Houyuan wanted to continue to refute, but was stopped by Le Yi, who shook his head, and Xia Houyuan gave up.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu smiled calmly and continued: "The governor naturally knows that forcing the Japanese army to a dead end will inspire them to fight to the death. Therefore, this time the governor met with the Japanese envoys to mislead the Japanese army's senior officials and let them fight to the death. They thought that our coalition forces intended to accept their surrender in order to give the Japanese troops hope and prevent them from fighting to the end."

 “A good way to boil a frog in warm water.”

A flash of surprise flashed in Le Yi's eyes, and he clasped his fists randomly and said, "I admire you."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "Let the Japanese envoy come in."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

When the Japanese envoy saw that Zhou Yu was finally willing to see him, he was naturally overjoyed and ran over in a hurry. However, when Zhou Yu's conditions were put forward, he was dumbfounded. Zhou Yu actually asked the Japanese army to lay down their weapons and surrender unconditionally, and only gave the Japanese soldiers The army had three days to discuss.

Zhou Yu's attitude was extremely firm and he would not give in at all. The Japanese envoy had no choice. After all, he had no control over the matter and could only return to report to Tachibana Michyuki and others.

As expected, after the Japanese envoys sent the news back, the entire Japanese army exploded.

"What? He, Zhou Gongjin, actually wants our army to surrender unconditionally?"

Takahashi Shaoyun's eyes were as wide as bells, full of anger and resentment, and he roared: "He's dreaming."

The Japanese generals who had previously supported surrender also fell silent. After all, if they really laid down their weapons and surrendered unconditionally, it would be equivalent to handing over their lives to others, and their life and death would not be decided by themselves.

"But what if you don't surrender? You can't fight, you can't escape, you can't escape..."

One of the Japanese generals said cautiously. Before he finished speaking, he saw Takahashi Shaoyun's murderous eyes, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more.

After the surrender faction thought about it again and again, many people still supported surrender. After all, although the conditions of the Qin army were a bit harsh, it just showed that they would not attack them after they truly surrendered, otherwise there would never be another one in the future. The Japanese army dared to surrender.

The faction that refused to surrender bluntly stated that Zhou Yu had ulterior motives and that surrendering was simply asking for death. They were unwilling to surrender at all.

Both sides held their own opinions and had a heated argument.

 Tachibana Michizuki also had no idea, but laying down his weapons and surrendering unconditionally was absolutely impossible. However, since Zhou Yu gave two days, it means that there is still room for negotiation, so let's continue talking.

Perhaps he can find a way to escape within these two days?

Michiyuki Tachibana thought he had grasped the last straw, but he did not know that he was just drinking poison to quench his thirst.

The Japanese army placed all their hopes on negotiations, and therefore missed the final opportunity to mobilize the "Jade Broken". The soldiers still had hope of survival in their hearts, so naturally they would not fight to the end.

The debate about whether to surrender or not continued until the next day. Even after the Qin army launched a general offensive, the Japanese army was still arguing within themselves.

"Report... something bad has happened, the Qin army has attacked."

Hearing this, all the Japanese generals were dumbfounded.

 “What? How is this possible?”

“Didn’t Zhou Yu give us two days to discuss whether to surrender? Why did he come over in less than a day?”

“Idiot, what did they say? What do you really believe?”

"You are the idiot. Let me tell you, it's all the fault of those who refuse to surrender. It's all your fault. It's all you who have been blocking us. Zhou Yu didn't see our sincerity, so he simply didn't want to wait for two days."

 “You...are simply stupid.”

 “Why, you are so angry.”

"I will kill you."

"Who is afraid of whom?" Seeing that the people who were watching the quarrel were getting more and more quarrelsome and even preparing to draw swords at each other, Tachibana Michyuki couldn't bear it any longer and roared: "The enemy troops are coming to kill you, you are still here Internal strife? You don’t want to live anymore, do you?”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals reacted. Now that the enemy is pressing down on the country, it is indeed not the time for internal strife.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Tachibana Michyuki stared with scarlet eyes and ordered in a cold voice: "Takahashi Shaoyun, Kobayakawa Takai, you go to command the left and right wings respectively. I will personally command the center army."

 “Hai.”

“Gentlemen, this may be our last battle.”

Tachibana Michiyuki's eyes showed a will to die, and he said solemnly: "In this battle, I, Tachibana Michiyuki, will die before you all."

 【Ding dong, Tachibana Michiyuki's skill 'Thunder General' effects 1 and 2 are activated one after another, force +3, command +2;

At present, Tachibana Michiyuki's command has increased to 97, and his force has increased to 99;]

 Tachibana Michyuki's pessimistic words also made all the generals feel sad.

Seeing this, Gao Qiao Shaoyun stood up and shouted: "Since Zhou Yu won't give us a way to survive, then we will fight with the Qin and Wei coalition forces. Even if we die, we will not make it easier for the other party."

“Yes, even death will not make it easy for them.”

All the generals shouted in agreement, and a look of determination flashed in their eyes. It was really time to fight to the death.

 With the increase of the two skills "Thunder General" and "Double Wall", Tachibana Michyuki's command attribute reached 99, and his military force reached the level of a divine general.

As for Takahashi Shaoyun, when the 'Bond of Flesh and Bones' was launched previously, because he did not participate in the battle, he did not consume any physical strength, and the hatred in his heart was not relieved in any way. The amplifying effect has been retained until now. Absolutely This is the case where the skill has the longest activation time.

 In addition, most of the generals of the Japanese country have also received the blessing of the "double wall", and their combat power has been greatly improved.

After receiving their orders, the Japanese generals quickly went to command the army, but the Qin army came too suddenly. They had no time to mobilize before the war, so they could only briefly explain the situation they faced.

The soldiers were all confused. They said they were negotiating before, but in the blink of an eye they were asked to fight to the death. Not only did it fail to inspire the desire to fight to the death, but it actually made some soldiers more resistant to fighting to the death.

The combined forces of Qin and Wei would not give the Japanese army time to prepare. Zhou Yu and Xia Houyuan had each led an army to attack the Japanese army from the east and west directions.

As the most powerful eight thousand dragon cavalry and tiger and leopard cavalry, they stayed five miles away in the north, ready to give the Japanese army the final fatal blow.

The left flank of the Japanese army was the main attack direction of the Wei army, and Takahashi Shaoyun was leading the Hizen Seven Cavalry Generals to resist the Wei army's offensive with all their strength.

"kill…"

The leader of the seven cavalry generals, Kondo Junchichi, was already red-eyed at this time. He was holding a spear and a pestle, and stabbed nearly twenty Wei soldiers to death in succession. However, he was also targeted by Wei general Li Dian.

“Japanese pirates should stop being so arrogant. I, Li Dian, will come to fight you.” Li Dian rode his horse and roared.

  【Ding dong, Li Dian's skill ‘Gun King’ is activated, force +3;

 Li Dian: Commander 93 (+1), Force 96 (+3), Intelligence 79, Politics 65, Charisma 82;

 Li Dian’s current strength has increased to 99. 】

Today's pure approach skills are just first -class generals.

Within less than three rounds of fighting, Li Dian caught the opponent's stabbing shot with his left hand, dragged him off the horse, and then fatally stabbed him under the horse with a decisive shot.

 After easily killing a general, Li Dian's eyes also fell on the famous spear master's pestle in his hand.

I saw this magical spear, with a body of seven feet and a blade of four feet and six inches. It was gilded with silver. The more Li Dian looked at it, the more he liked it.

“These precious spears should be mine.”

 Li Dian laughed loudly, held the pestle in his hand, and continued to kill another Japanese general. Unexpectedly, he fell into the enemy's plan and was surrounded by six other Japanese generals out of the seven.

 Six generals are preparing to join forces to kill Li Dian in order to avenge their close friend who has died in the battle.

Naturally, Li Dian would not sit back and wait for death. Now that his new famous gun, with the blessing of divine soldiers, its combat power has reached the level of a divine general, he was naturally not afraid of the siege of six first-class generals, but he never expected that the other party would actually use the special attack skills .

 【Ding dong, Omura Juntatsu, Asaga Junki and other six people's skills "Seven Warriors" are activated...】
