Chapter 1776: The End of the Wako (Part II)

Youzhou, Yuyang County, Lu County.

It also became a battlefield for the Northern Han and the Japanese Invaders.

With the blessing of 'Takeo', Xue Gang, who had a command of 100, was ordered by Liu Che, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, to lead 30,000 recruits and 5,000 cavalry to encircle and suppress the Japanese invaders.

Today's Northern Han Dynasty, with the strong Qin in the south, and the Manchu Qing in the north, is full of malice, and the Northern Han is in the cracks, and its pressure can be described as unprecedented, so Xue Gang must exterminate the Japanese in the shortest possible time.

Sanada Yukimura, known as the first soldier of Japan's Warring States Period, is wise and brave, and the strength in his hands is only one-seventh of that of the Han army, so it is naturally impossible to fight the Northern Han army, but he still underestimated Le Xuegang's means in the end.

Xue Gang saw that the Japanese had been avoiding without fighting, and he didn't have so much time to entangle again, so in desperation, he only led a thousand elite cavalry and two thousand infantry to challenge the Japanese invaders.

Sanada Yukimura saw that there were only 3,000 Han troops who came to fight, of which 2,000 were new soldiers, and he had a full 5,000 elites, 2,000 more troops than the Han army, and the probability of victory was more than 70%, so he planned to eat this living Han army.

The two sides set up a posture in Lu County, Yuyang County, and opened the final life-and-death decisive battle.

Sanada Yukimura: Commander 96, Armed Forces 99, Intelligence 95, Political 90, Charisma 97; Equipment: Ten Character Gun, White and Original Hair;

Sanada Yukimura overestimated himself and underestimated Xue Gang, he was the commander of 96, even with the blessing of skills, the commander attribute was still not as good as Xue Gang.

Xue Gang naturally couldn't be stupid, only using 3,000 soldiers and horses to go head-to-head with 5,000 Japanese robbers, the reason why he dared to do this was because those 2,000 infantry were not new troops at all, but elite cavalry who dismounted.

The elite cavalry of Youzhou, even if they get off the horse, their combat power is not inferior to that of the infantry, so Xue Gang actually led the battle of 3,000 elite soldiers.

3,000 Northern Han elites VS 5,000 Japanese invaders.

After the start of the war, Sanada Nobumura was directly defeated, and he couldn't believe that the combat power of the Northern Han Army would be so strong, and his 5,000 army couldn't defeat the opponent's 3,000.

Soon, Sanada Nobumura noticed that something was wrong, where is this recruit? It's just a veteran who kills people without blinking.

After realizing that he was overshadowed by Xue Gang, Sanada Nobumura decisively gave the order to retreat, and this battle caused more than half of the casualties of the Japanese Kou, but the casualties of the Northern Han army were less than 1,000.

Sanada Shinmura, who lost the first battle, no longer has the strength to return to heaven, but Xue Gang relies on the advantage of troops to constantly squeeze the activity space of this Japanese robber, and eats away at the living forces of the Japanese invaders little by little.

In the end, it took Xue Gang less than half a month to beat the Japanese invaders, and Sanada Yukimura escaped back to Dongying with less than 500 people.

When he came to the Central Plains, Sanada Yukimura brought 5,000 elites, but when he went back, there were only 500 left, even if he robbed so much money and food, he still couldn't make up for the loss of manpower in the Central Plains.

What Sanada Yukimura didn't know was that he at least brought manpower and strong money and food to return to Toei smoothly, but Maori Yuan was only one Uesugi Kanesin and two families, not only did the former army get no benefits at all, but even Maori Yuan even accosted his own life, and Uesugi Kanesin was even missing and his life and death were unknown.

Compared to these two, Sanada Yukimura's luck has already been calculated.

Sanada Yukimura was followed by Date Masamune.

Date Masamune's luck is really bad, he chose who was not good, but he chose the Qi country, which is not weak in the naval army, and the Qi country also has Zhu Tianpeng, a top water war general.

After the other Dongying princes came to the Central Plains, they basically plundered some places, causing a lot of losses to the local princes.

Koda Masamune? After looting a small town, he was immediately noticed by the Qi army, and then he was chased and killed by the Qi army.

Date Masamune's troops were only 6,000, but Zhu Tianpeng personally led 15,000 sailors to encircle and suppress him, and the one he chased was called a heaven with no way to enter the earth.

After half a month of escaping and hiding, the hidden Japanese were finally found by Zhu Tianpeng, and Date Masamune was forced to launch a counterattack, and the result was naturally a fiasco.

Only 1,000 of the 6,000 army remained, and only a few warships remained, and finally fled back to Toei under the command of Date Masamune.

In this anti-Japanese operation, including the Qin army, they all passively defended and counterattacked, but only Qi took the initiative to counterattack, and they kept chasing the Japanese to fight.

After exterminating the Japanese in his own country, Zhu Tianpeng led the naval army south to help his ally Zhu Ming and exterminate Takeda Shinxuan who was wandering in the land of Xu Huai.

Takeda Shinxuan and Zhu Di were originally fighting wits and courage, and the fight was inseparable, but when he heard that Zhu Tianpeng, the king of Qi, was leading more than 10,000 sailors to encircle and suppress him, he was immediately taken aback.

Takeda Shingen knew that if he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave, and he didn't care about any robbery, so he hurriedly ordered the remaining 4,000 troops to return, and fled back to Dongying by boat overnight.

Eight thousand Takeda family elites, when they returned, there were still four thousand, and the casualties reached half, but compared to the other princes, it was already good.

Takeda Shingen was followed by Hojo Tsunari, his luck was not as good as Takeda Shingen, and he was ambushed by Chen Qingzhi under the greed for merit, not only was the 5,000-strong army annihilated, but even his own life was lost on the Samhan Peninsula.

At this point, the Toei princes who came to the Central Plains to plunder, except for Tokugawa Ieyasu and Akechi Mitsuhide, have all been defeated, among which Mori Motoshi and Hojo Tsusunari have even taken their lives.

The two princes of Tokugawa Ieyasu and Akechi Mitsuhide were in Yangzhou, and the total number of Japanese soldiers in Yangzhong was as high as 17,000, and Yangzhou was the state with the largest number of Japanese invaders, so it was naturally the most difficult to suppress them.

Most of the Eastern Wu forces were in Jiangxia against Liu Xiu, and they did not pay enough attention to the Japanese at first, so the suppression of the Japanese was the slowest among all the princes.

Sun Jian sent his two sons, Sun Ce and Sun Quan to suppress the bandits, Sun Ce's side was quite good, and he hit Akechi Mitsuhide several times, but Sun Quan did directly defeat Tokugawa Ieyasu, and all of a sudden the advantages that Sun Ce fought for.

The suppression of widows in Wu County and Huiji County could not be succeeded for a long time, and the number of people affected by the disaster increased, even reaching nearly 30 at one time.

The 300,000 people affected by the disaster were homeless, and they had to be resettled as soon as possible, and they had to spend a lot of money and food, which undoubtedly greatly increased the pressure on Soochow, and Sun Jian on the front line was about to be unable to withstand it.

And at this moment, another major event happened, which became the last straw that crushed Dongwu, and also made Dongwu completely disqualified from competing for Jiangxia.
