After Choi Min led the First Army to Shikoku Island, they made their way forward, and their first target was Tokushima Prefecture.

On the way to Tokushima Prefecture, it was not peaceful, the First Army was constantly harassed by small Japanese forces, and during this period, there were many small battles between the Taiping Army and the Japanese army, which also brought some damage to both sides, but these were secondary, and the real important thing was that the First Army Corps was disturbed by these small Japanese forces, and gradually became impetuous, if they were in this state to fight the main army of the Japanese army, then they would face great difficulties.

This may be exactly what the Japanese army wants to achieve.

Under this attack, the First Army approached Tokushima Prefecture a day later than scheduled.

After arriving at Tokushima Prefecture, the First Army was already quite tired, and if it had immediately engaged the Japanese at this time, the First Army would probably have suffered heavy casualties.

Faced with this situation, Choi Min, the commander of the First Army, was also very worried, so after the army arrived in Tokushima Prefecture, the first thing he announced was to order the army to rest.

And only after Huli recovered, they would attack the city in a big way.

However, this rest of the Taiping army also fulfilled the wish of the Japanese army, they took advantage of this opportunity to carry out a sneak attack on the Taiping army, and the first army was extremely tired and the defensive measures were also lax, so the Japanese army took advantage of the loophole, so after the attack, they were caught off guard for a while, and they suffered a lot of damage.

However, after all, the Japanese army was afraid of the strength of the Taiping Army, and after they succeeded in the sneak attack, they quickly withdrew, so as not to fall into the fate of a man who stole chickens and rice.

After that, Cui Min learned his lesson and strengthened his defense. This gave the soldiers of the Taiping Army a good rest.

The Taiping army rested for more than a day before they recovered.

Then, Cui Min did not hesitate to give the order to attack the city.

The Taiping army prepares to storm Tokushima Prefecture.

Tokushima Prefecture is a small place, although it has a favorable location and people to rely on, but, after all, the strength of the Japanese defenders is compared with the Taiping army. It was a far cry, so almost under the crushing of the strong strength of the Taiping army, Tokushima Prefecture, which had resisted for three days, was captured by the Taiping army.

All the Japanese troops defending the city were killed, and all the Japanese in the city were slaughtered.

This is Huang Xu's order, take a city, slaughter a city, like this barren land, its people are difficult to learn and educate. Moreover, his heart is only loyal to the emperor, and if he is left in the world, he will definitely leave a legacy of trouble, so in order to never suffer from future troubles, he needs to be slaughtered.

Moreover, the reason why Huang Xu did this also had other purposes, he killed the Japanese like this. It's just to kill Meiji and have no place to hide, and kill Meiji so that no one can borrow it. Just imagine, Meiji has become a lonely family, what else will he use to fight the Taiping army.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Xu decided to attack a city and slaughter a city. If Meiji doesn't give up, then he will slaughter all the Japanese.

It was precisely because of this guiding ideology that the First Army Corps killed all the Japanese after capturing Tokushima Prefecture.

And after killing all the Japanese. The First Army did not stop for a moment and continued to march towards Kagawa Prefecture.

In the same way, although the Taiping army also encountered strong resistance from the Japanese army in Kagawa County, after all, the strength of the Taiping Army was extraordinarily strong, and these Japanese troops defending the city were not the opponents of the Taiping Army at all, and in two days, Kagawa County also fell into the hands of the Taiping Army.

Then, the Taiping army still killed people, and killed them all.

After the killing, the First Legion continued to advance.

The next target, Ai He.

This was already the last barrier in front of Kochi, the provisional headquarters of the Japanese army, and as long as this prefecture was breached, the Taiping army would be able to face Meiji and his Japanese headquarters.

In other words, Huang Xu is not far from his Sakurako.

And just when the First Army advanced to the foot of Ai Xi City and was preparing to attack the city, Huang Xu also arrived.

Huang Xu learned some information from Cui Min, and focused on asking about the movements of the Japanese army in Kochi, but his answer was that Kochi still stood still and left each county to organize its own forces to resist.

Seeing this, Huang Xu shook his head, and then gave Cui Min the order to attack the city.

Since you don't admit defeat, then attack until you admit defeat.

By this time, the contest between attack and defense had been programmed, and the Japanese army still resisted fiercely, and then they were all killed, and in the end, they failed to keep the castle.

This time the siege of the city, the Taiping army only took one day, it can be seen that the siege efficiency of the first army is getting higher and higher.

And after going down to the city, they still did the same thing, slaughtering the city.

As for the soldiers of the First Legion, they are now a little numb to slaughtering the city, and killing people has become commonplace, which can only be said that Meiji did not treat the Japanese as human beings, and abandoned them as a mustard.

Maybe Meiji is numb too.

And after Ai Hi is Kochi.

Kochi was the command center of Meiji.

Huang Xu waved his army and pointed directly at this, he wanted to completely solve the remnants of Meiji and Ito Hirobumi in Kochi.

After some preparations, the First Army surrounded the prefecture of Kochi.

Just when Huang Xu was about to send someone to contact Meiji and ask him to take the initiative to admit defeat, he received news that Meiji ran away again.

He discarded Kochi, abandoned Shikoku, and ran away with the remnants of his defeated army, and this time he ran fast and resolutely, not at all as squirming as he had been the other day.

Could it be that Meiji also changed sex?

I don't know, in short, after the Taiping army captured Kochi, they really didn't find Meiji and others, and according to reliable information, these people have fled to Hokkaido, the last of Japan's four major island nations, and they will make the last resistance in Hokkaido, or rather, they will survive.

And after Huang Xu gathered the army in Kochi Prefecture, he urged the army to march to Hokkaido.

This time, he wants to take the last island of Japan in one go, extinguish the last hope of Meiji, and of course, he will welcome back his beloved, Princess Sakurako.

Huang Xu is confident that he will win this last battle.

So the army continued to march towards Hokkaido.

Hokkaido is the second largest of Japan's four major island nations, and its administrative center is Sapporo, where Meiji traveled to prepare for a final battle against the Taipings.

In fact, Meiji will not fight a decisive battle, he has nowhere to go, except for Hokkaido, most of Japan's territory has been controlled by Huang Xu, if Hokkaido is lost again, all of Japan will fall into the hands of Huang Xu, become a dependency of the Chinese Empire, at that time, Meiji will no longer have a place to stand, and there are only two roads left for him, either die or surrender.

The reality is so cruel, and time is running out for Meiji and his remnants.

The Taiping army advanced so fast that it took them almost three to four days to occupy all the towns around Sapporo and officially enter the city of Sapporo.

Huang Xu can't wait for this last battle with Meiji.

And Meiji at this time, what did he think, did he really not care about Huang Xu's every move, even in the face of Huang Xu's behavior of attacking a city and slaughtering a city, was he really indifferent?

Perhaps only Meiji himself understands this.

In short, Huang Xu has already approached the city, just waiting for Meiji to take over.

In other words, regardless of whether Meiji accepts it or not, the Taiping army will definitely go to Sapporo Castle.

There is no way back for Meiji. (To be continued......)
