Smoke filled the air and sounds of killing broke out.
After Zhou Tai instantly killed the Japanese general Jianyu Mingfang, the general offensive between the Chu Navy and the Japanese was launched in full swing.
Although the general was killed instantly, the Japanese who were so confident did not lose any morale. Instead, they all shouted unexplained howls and took the lead in charging the Chu army.
Seeing the Japanese swarming forward without any formation, Zhou Tai sneered again and again.
Such an army, such fighting power, such a command.
Don't say you are an army of 100,000, so what if it's one million?
"Shield soldiers, line up! Lancers! Prepare to attack! Archers, projectile!"
Faced with this kind of charge, the best way to deal with it is to use the large shield soldiers as the front row to resist the momentum of the enemy's charge, and then the spearmen can launch an attack on the enemy in the gap.
As for letting the archers shoot? That's too simple.
Facing these nearly 100,000 Japanese Japanese with a compact lineup, the archers did not need to take any aim at all.
As long as you can shoot the arrow in your hand into the air, you will definitely gain something when it falls.
This also made almost everyone in the Chu army's navy, who were already good at shooting, become expert archers. This is called a perfect arrow.
"ah!"
"Arrow! Sky! Watch out sky!"
"Get away! Don't squeeze me!"
With the rain of arrows falling, the Japanese army suddenly fell into chaos.
When had the Japanese who had been living on the island ever withstood such a dense and lethal rain of arrows?
You must know that the bows and arrows of the Japanese were simply sharpened bamboo, and their lethality was naturally incomparable to the Chu army's arrows embedded with steel arrows.
Even Sun Quan did not bring much military supplies with him when he fled in embarrassment, and the equipment and combat power of his subordinates were not much better than that of the Japanese. This led to Sun Quan's continuous defeat in the face of the Japanese siege, and in the end he could only retreat.
Trapped in the Yizhou Administrative Office, Xiang Ji asked for help.
If it weren't for the Japanese's lack of experience in attacking cities, Sun Quan would have been unable to insist on the Chu army coming to rescue him.
"Hahaha! Shoot, keep shooting! Shoot all these little dwarfs to death!"
Zhou Tai was even more excited when he saw that these Japanese people didn't know how to avoid the rain of arrows coming from the air.
Mud, I would have known that I would not have allowed my soldiers to fight with them in hand-to-hand combat.
Damn it, if you form a formation, you can shoot them to death!
Lacking effective defense methods and insufficient response experience, under the attack of the Chu army's arrows, the morale of the Japanese army declined crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After all, even if you are brave and fearless, if you are faced with this situation where you can only take a beating but cannot fight back, you may not be able to hold on for long before you collapse.
"All the troops, attack! Destroy the Japanese in this battle!"
Seeing that the morale of the Japanese began to decline, Zhou Tai waved his hand, and the Chu army that had been defending dropped their shields and launched a charge against the chaotic Japanese army with their swords in hand.
As a veteran on the battlefield, Zhou Tai could not see that if the shooting continued for a while, these Japanese would probably start fleeing on a large scale again.
This short, monkey-like guy was really difficult to chase when he escaped, and Zhou Tai was not in the mood to accompany them in his ten-and-a-half-month pursuit in the dense forest.
Although a full-scale attack will also speed up the collapse of the Japanese army, after all, if your soldiers rush forward, the damage caused to the Japanese will be better than those casual rains of arrows, right?
What's more, once they get close, it's not easy for these Japanese to escape on a large scale.
"We can't stop them! These Chu people are too powerful, retreat!"
"Run! Brothers, they won't be able to catch up if you run into the dense forest."
"Those behind, don't be in the way, run away!"
As the Chu army launched a general offensive, the Japanese army suddenly collapsed.
The previous bravery completely disappeared, and all that was left was fear.
After all, this is not a heavyweight opponent at all.
No matter the equipment, body size, or even individual combat power, it's as if adults are fighting against children.
The Japanese army collapsed and prepared to retreat.
But at this moment, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared from behind the Japanese army.
"Pan Zhang of Wu State is here!"
"Wu Guo Zhu Ran is here!"
"Commanders of Wu State, attack with the whole army, don't let these Japanese escape!"
Sun Quan, who was riding a black horse and holding a long sword, led his generals out in full force, just to cut off the Japanese's retreat.
Yes, Sun Quan attacked.
You must know that the place where Zhou Tai fought with the Japanese was not far from the Yizhou administrative office, so Sun Quan would naturally know the situation of the battle between the two armies.
Previously, because the situation of the battle was unclear, Sun Quan did not dare to easily attack the Japanese with the Chu army.
But now, this is obviously an opportunity to beat the drowned dog. How could Sun Quan continue to cower in the palace and remain indifferent?
You know, this Chu army is here to rescue itself.
What happened in the past was that the two countries fought, and the king was victorious and the bandits were defeated. Sun Quan also understood this.
Now, I have fallen to the point where I will be bullied even if I am the king of the island, so what else can I not let go of?
When Sun Quan asked Lu Xun to go to Chu as an envoy, he did so with the intention of giving it a try.
One is to see if the Chu State is still a land of only two states as before, then try to form an alliance with it to fight against the Japanese.
No matter how you put it, the fight against your fellow countrymen is nothing more than a civil war, but facing the Japanese is a war between nations.
Although Sun Ce died because of Xiang Ji, and Wu was also destroyed by Xiang Ji, you must know that it was Wu who took the initiative to declare war on Chu.
Sun Quan is completely open to this point.
After all, the past is always the past, how can one's own wealth and life be so important?
As a qualified politician, Sun Quan saw this very clearly.
But what he didn't expect was that Chu's current military strength was so outstanding.
You know, Sun Quan is not a person without vision. He can guess just by looking at this Chu army that it is nothing more than a navy.
However, these 30,000-strong navy actually killed nearly 100,000 Japanese troops who were unable to resist.
In this comparison, Sun Quan suddenly discovered that his strength was so weak that he was no longer qualified to negotiate with Chu.
Not to mention anything else, it would not be difficult to kill the Chu navy in front of me if we wanted to.
Sun Quan suddenly felt regretful about this.
If I had known this, I might as well have continued to confront the Japanese...
But there is no other way, things are done as they are, Sun Quan can only do his best to show off, at least he has to act like an ally, right?
Otherwise, if Zhou Tai finds out that he is just a spectator and takes the opportunity to declare war on Yizhou, then everything will be over.
But Sun Quan didn't know that Lu Xun had already declared his surrender to Chu on his behalf...
