The Chu army was weak in strength, but it was as powerful as thunder and dominated the battlefield. Even the two armies of Kuangtie and Dead Soldiers, which Tufeijiu was proud of, retreated in the fierce battle.
Kawashima Keihito watched the battle below the city with a gloomy expression. From time to time he looked into the distance, worried about the Yamata no Orochi and the mutated sea monster.
When he looked back from under the city, he found that there was no trace of the three leaders of Snake Ghost, and even their auras had completely disappeared in the bloody atmosphere.
Kawashima Keihito knew that they were in danger, so he glanced sideways at Beixiong Tianwu beside him, and heard a strong and sharp voice.
"General Beixiong, it's your turn to take action. The remaining 400,000 troops in the city are all under your command. You must not let go of a single Chu army."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely come to see you with Emperor Chu's head!"
Beixiong Tianwu glanced sideways at the less than 50,000 Chu troops under the city. A look of contempt appeared on his face, and his voice was as firm as iron. After saluting Kawashima Jingren, he strode towards the city with the two lieutenants behind him.
"General, the Chu army is now at the end of its war effort. After fighting so hard, both sides have already suffered losses. All we need to do when we leave the city is to reap the benefits."
"The sword is just flesh. The general does not need to leave the city. The two of us can chop off Emperor Chu's head."
The voices of the two lieutenants sounded behind Beixiong Tianwu, who turned around and shouted: "Don't underestimate any enemy, especially the Chu army. They are definitely not as simple as they appear."
Beixiong Tianwu had already seen on the city that the Chu army had less than 30,000 troops, but he defeated 50,000 Fusang's most elite legion. Although he looked down upon Tu Feijiu, the combat power of his Kuangtie legion was really impressive.
People are in awe.
Twenty thousand people can be invincible against 50,000 people. Beixiong Tianwu was confident that his 400,000 troops could kill all the Chu army, but he did not show it. He did not win the final victory, and no one could control the forces occupied on the battlefield.
Change.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
Huang Zhong, Li Guang, Hua Rong, Zhebie, Yue Fei, and Lu Bu fired arrows at the same time. The arrows were pointed directly at Tu Feijiu and Shangdao Hong.
Six arrows flew together, like meteors, penetrating the barrier of the air. Miyamoto Musashi felt the strong wind coming from the air. His drooping eyes opened, and a cold light flashed away. I saw him rising up, sword in hand.
After taking it out of its sheath, the sword's light flew vertically and horizontally.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The arrows split into two and sank into the soil on the ground. Tuijiu took a breath of cold air. If Miyamoto Musashi had not taken action in time, he would have been killed.
"boom!"
Just when Tu Feijiu was panicking, a sound of close contact with the earth spread. He looked sideways and saw Shangdao Hong being penetrated by a flying arrow between his eyebrows. His pupils were wide open and he was dying.
Miyamoto Musashi took action to save Doichigato, but Ueshima Hiroshi was not spared and was shot by a flying arrow and fell off his horse.
Tu Feijiu was horrified, feeling the bone-crushing coldness coming from his back. Although he narrowly escaped death, he was still frightened, his eyes were about to burst, and he roared at the top of his lungs.
"The soldiers of the Mad Iron Legion and the Dead Soldiers Legion listened to the order and killed one person from the Chu army, and were rewarded with one hundred thousand gold. Those who killed the Chu general were rewarded with one million gold, and were promoted to vanguard generals."
Angry roars echoed in the void, and Emperor Chu and his generals were still galloping on their horses, with arrows flying and swords flashing.
The blood was flowing, and the figure fell to the ground. Looking at the approaching Chu army, Tu Feijiu tightened his reins and made a squeaking sound with his fingers holding the weapon.
"kill!"
At this moment.
The rumble of horse hooves came from Sakura City, the earth shook, and the city swayed. Emperor Chu reined in his horse and stood, staring ahead in astonishment.
"Your Majesty, judging from the sound of horse hooves, there are at least 300,000 Fusang enemy soldiers in Sakura City. Our army has suffered heavy losses and it is not appropriate to fight."
The sound of horse hooves resounding throughout the world came from all directions. The generals of the Chu army realized that the Fusang Empire in Sakura City still had back-ups. They reined up their horses and expressed the hope that the Chu Emperor would withdraw its troops.
The situation was urgent. Emperor Chu made a decisive decision and said: "The generals will lead their soldiers to fight on their own and withdraw to Edo Castle immediately."
"withdraw!"
"withdraw!"
Emperor Chu was unwilling to give in, but in the current situation, even if he fought hard, there was no chance of victory. Thirty thousand soldiers were fighting against Fusang enemy soldiers who were ten times stronger. Without the right time, place and people, it was simply nonsense to win.
The generals returned to their horses and retreated, dividing their troops into more than a dozen groups. Although this approach might result in the Fusang soldiers engulfing one legion, if they divided their forces to pursue them at the same time, the Chu army might win with a small number.
Seeing that the Chu army began to retreat, Tu Feijiu laughed wildly and ordered the Kuangtie Army to bite the Chu Emperor. The other Chu troops could let him go, but they must not let the Chu Emperor return to Edo City alive.
Suddenly, there was a chaos below Sakura City. The galloping war horses let out a shocking long neigh. Tu Feijiu led the Kuangtie Legion in hot pursuit, giving Emperor Chu no chance to breathe.
An hour later.
As the smoke dissipated under the Sakura Castle, Kawashima Keihito looked at the pigeon flying away, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He hoped that the pigeon could bring him a surprise.
"Your Majesty, why don't you order the army to come out in full force and completely wipe out the Chu army?"
Beixiong Tianwu didn't understand why Kawashima Keihito ordered him to bring the army back to the city, giving up a God-given opportunity in vain.
"General Beixiong, after today's defeat, the Chu army has been severely weakened. I order you to immediately lead the army to retake the three cities of Edo, Sakuragawa and Nagawa, leaving the Chu army alone with nowhere to escape. After a heavy snowfall, there is no need to
If I take action myself, they will all become ice sculptures on Beihai Island."
"Your Majesty is wise. The last general will go to Edo City immediately to cut off Emperor Chu's retreat and make him a bereaved dog."
Beixiong Tianwu took the order to leave, and the mighty army rushed out from Sakura City, with flags ringing and war horses neighing in the wind. The momentum was so great that the heaven and earth were shaken.
Kawashima Keihito looked at the leaving army and looked back to the side. At this time, the Yamata no Orochi on the ground was covered in wounds and dying. Only one of its eight heads was left. It looked bloody and terrifying.
"Emperor Chu, if you seize my city and hurt my beast, I will cut you into pieces!"
Angry roars echoed under the sky, and Kawashima Keihito led the Yamata-no-Orochi, swept down from the city, and disappeared on the long street of Sakura Castle in a few leaps.
"Huhu~"
"Huhu~"
The cold wind howled, and snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky. The sudden heavy snow seemed to cover up the traces left by this killing battle.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth are covered with white flying snow. Thousands of miles of ice are covered in ice. Even before dusk comes, a thick mist has already floated between the sky and the earth.
Looking into the distance, only flying snow can be seen, and everything is shrouded in thick fog and white snow.
at this time.
Emperor Chu was running wildly in the wilderness with Zhao Yun, Yue Fei, Chu Ya, Luo Shixin and a thousand Iron Eagle warriors. Covered in heavy snow, they were aimless. Behind them, the Mad Iron Legion was still chasing after them, and from time to time they could hear the rumble of horse hooves.
