"How is that possible! Now we still have 90,000 troops. Where did they get so many reinforcements?"
"You guys are just blind, are you? How big is it to have a hundred thousand troops come to battle in just one night? How could we not know?"
The generals were talking a lot, and they all didn't want to believe the sudden arrival of Long Xia's army. After all, they had scouts along the Yangtze River, so it was impossible for them not to know about the arrival of so many reinforcements.
At this moment, Oda Guishuo, who was sitting on the main seat, let out a long sigh, and then asked softly: "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
The scout hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, I am absolutely right. Yingtian City is filled with Long Xia's troops. They are endless. Their number is definitely 20,000 to 30,000 more than us!"
By this time, everyone could not help but frown. The scouts were not blind and could not have seen wrongly. But if reinforcements really arrived, they would be in danger.
"Your Majesty, if this is really the case, we should withdraw. We have not yet captured Yingtian City. If we face the new force sent by Long Xia, I'm afraid..."
"Or we can retreat to Suzhou City first and adjust the entire army for a few days..."
There are more than 100,000 troops, and the few generals present dare not underestimate them anymore. After days of siege, the Japanese army is no longer enough to support a showdown of comparable strength.
All of them gave birth to the intention of quitting.
"Can you see clearly whose reinforcements are from Long Xia?"
As for Oda Kesaku, after all, she is a rare military wizard in the world. No matter what situation she is in, she can always calm down and judge the current situation.
There must be a reason for being the emperor of this group of people.
If it were the Jiangnan Army from before, it goes without saying that even if they were now destitute of men and horses, Oda Guisaku would still be sure to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind.
But if it's that person...
"Back to Your Majesty, the general flag on the city tower has been changed. It is a black flag with white characters on it, with the word "Chen" on it!"
After hearing this, Oda Guishuo, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"Sure enough, he finally came."
She smiled bitterly, if the King of Shuchuan really came with an army of 100,000 people, this personal expedition would be completely over.
It can be seen that all these firearms he learned from Chen Mu secretly. Chen Mu was a very intelligent man, and his army was a pack of tigers and wolves. In these years of fighting in the north and south, the quality of individual soldiers was definitely not comparable to that of his Japanese army.
The first army on land is no joke.
What's more, there are more people than them now. If there is a head-to-head confrontation, it will definitely be their side that loses.
Thinking of this, Oda Guishuo waved his hand: "Go back, it's Chen Mu's Shu army. We are facing each other head-on. We are by no means opponents."
Oda Guishuo's words were undoubtedly saying that this battle was completely over, and all the generals looked depressed.
It can be seen that they invested too much manpower and material resources in this attack on Jiangnan and lost 10,000 troops. So far, what they have gained in exchange is an empty city and they have not been able to get any property.
And now they are about to withdraw to Japan. How can these generals not be depressed?
After that, the generals began to command their troops and prepared to retreat.
"etc!"
And just when they were about to issue a retreat order, Oda Guisaku suddenly stopped them with one hand.
Several people looked at His Majesty the Emperor on the throne with some confusion.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"I think I still have to go there."
After hearing this, the generals felt that their Majesty's behavior was too unpredictable. One moment he said to retreat, but now he was leading his troops forward.
As for Oda Guisaku, he certainly has his own thoughts at the moment, and the one who knows you best is your enemy.
He had carefully read the battle reports of the major battles that Chen Mu had led before. He had a characteristic in fighting that he loved the strategy of surprise attacks.
If we could arrive at Yingtian City at night without anyone noticing, and bring a hundred thousand elite troops with us, then there would be no way we could not do anything last night.
How could Chen Mu, who had an obvious advantage, choose to line up his troops and wait for him quietly under the city?
Therefore, there is only one possibility: there is fraud!
"I conclude that it is not Chen Mu's army. Don't be deceived by this bluff."
After listening to Oda Guishuo's explanation, the generals' nerves became tense again. If it was really just a bluff, then it would be an opportunity for them.
The next moment, 90,000 Japanese troops were ready to go and headed towards Yingtian City again.
As for Han Meier and others at this time, cold sweat broke out in their palms when they saw the Japanese army approaching in darkness.
This situation is too thrilling, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.
Putting the lives of hundreds of thousands of people as bets, this is definitely the biggest gamble in thousands of years, and the initiator of it all is just a woman who just went to the battlefield.
At this time, the civilian soldiers who were still at the rear were already trembling with fear, but fortunately, with advance arrangements, the few rows in front were filled with the tough-minded Qi Army and those murderers with fierce faces.
At first glance, it looks like an elite army.
The lieutenant held the scabbard tightly, still feeling a little nervous at this moment.
"Madam, should... nothing happen?"
Han Mei'er had no expression on her face and just said softly: "What are you afraid of? I think these Japanese people are also a little doubtful. Otherwise, they would have killed them long ago."
"Then what should we do next?"
Han Meier smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I met Oda Guishuo a few times back then. I'll go and dispel their doubts."
After saying that, Meier pulled the reins and rode the horse directly towards the Japanese army.
When the deputy general saw this scene, he felt ashamed that a weak woman dared to go straight to the Japanese army. In terms of such courage, most men in the world would be hard-pressed to match it.
"Who says women are inferior to men!"
As for Oda Guishuo, as the army continued to advance, he observed everything carefully, hoping to see some clues.
But when he saw that familiar figure on top of the city tower, his expression finally darkened.
He remembered Chen Mu's figure. Although it was a bit far away at the moment, Oda Guishuo could finally see the outline clearly.
This man standing on the tower, slowly sipping tea, is Chen Mu!
Dozens of Chen Ziwang flags were flying constantly on the tower, as if they were mocking Oda Guishuo, mocking what a child's play his attack on the Central Plains was.
After a moment, she just smiled bitterly: "Brother Mu, I didn't expect you to come."
"Your Majesty is here."
When a general spoke out, Oda Guishuo suddenly noticed a woman galloping towards him on a horse.
When the rider arrived, Han Meier glanced at Oda Guishuo, then smiled and bowed: "Miss Kawako, long time no see."
Being called like this, Oda Guishuo smiled: "I really didn't expect it. I didn't expect to see Sister Mei'er."
Han Meier pretended to be calm and smiled: "I won't say any more. Brother Mu asked me to tell you a word and let's call it a day."
