Chapter 8, Snow and Blood (I)

Since Cao Cao's letter, the Yamatai Kingdom began to gather troops in full swing, and the surrounding princes also led their troops to help, and for a while, Queen Himiko's strength increased day by day.

Subsequently, she personally led an army of 200,000 to the south.

Cao Cao didn't seem to care about the upcoming war, but came to the newly built "Ordnance Division" that afternoon.

"Liu Bei just used this gadget to defeat us?"

Cao Cao weighed the grenade in his hand, which was not much bigger than a duck egg, and his eyes showed a complicated look.

He lost to Liu Bei not because of the gap in the use of troops, but because of the huge backwardness in weapons.

So, before he set off, he carried a large amount of gunpowder on board the ship in case of emergency.

Today came in handy.

Cao Ren said in a deep voice: "If we can make this weapon quickly, it must be the lord who will unify the Central Plains." ”

No, it should be said that if I had recruited it first, the master of the world would have been someone else.

He had already learned at this time that Liu Bei's weapons were all made under Guo Jia's guidance.

But there is no need to say these words, this involves the secret of his rebirth with Liu Bei and Guo Jia, let this secret sink into the sea forever.

Cao Cao put away his thoughts and asked, "Have you tried the power?" ”

"I have tried it early this morning, it is no worse than Liu Bei's, and it is even better."

Cao Ren paused for a moment, and then said: "My lord, when we unify the Wa Kingdom, we might as well return to the Central Plains and fight Liu Bei again." ”

Most people will have the desire to return to their roots, no matter how good a foreign country is, it is not as good as their hometown after all.

And almost all the generals under Cao Cao, including Cao Ren, were unwilling to fight this battle.

After all, before they had fought with Liu Bei in a dignified manner, they were forced to flee away by the advantage of his firearms.

"Zixiao, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore."

"My lord."

"Don't forget, we have grenades, and Liu Bei also has them, maybe he has already made more powerful weapons by this time."

Although Cao Cao was also a little unwilling, he was more expectant, and he continued to go east after looking forward to the unification of the Japanese kingdom, looking for the vast "America" in Guo Jia's mouth.

Liu Bei is a strong enemy, not to mention that he now sits on the land of the Central Plains and has abundant products.

In comparison, he wants to open up new horizons, and Cao never dislikes his opponent for being too weak. As he has grown older, his desire to win has diminished a lot.

Cao Ren lowered his head and was silent for a while, and raised his head: "The lord is right, it is the last general who got carried away,"

Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, and said with a serious face: "Don't worry, according to Fengxiao, there is a broader world to the east." ”

"Instead of going back and fighting with Liu Bei, it is better to be a pioneer, and it is also an immortal achievement to educate overseas barbarians."

Cao Ren's face was bitter: "It's good, it's just that this sea is really unbearable." ”

As an authentic northerner man, he became a sick cat when he got to the water, and he was uncomfortable.

"Hah!" Cao Cao chuckled: "So you still need to train yourself, so let's do it, when this battle is over, you will be responsible for training the sailor." ”

"This"

"This is a military order!"

"The last general. Commanded. ”

Cao Ren had no choice but to accept the order, but when he recalled the bumps some time ago, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

The wind and snow are still raging, bringing a biting chill.

Half a month later.

Queen Himiko led her army to a menacing army, and soon defeated Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and others, and recovered several cities previously occupied by Cao Cao.

From the point of view of a bystander, this is the swift action of the Wa State and the fierce offensive.

But in fact, this was Cao Cao's deliberate deception, from beginning to end, his army did not have any major losses, and most of the fallen soldiers were Japanese soldiers who surrendered to Chengcheng.

Not only did he have to show weakness to the enemy, but he also had to fight against the odds.

The tens of thousands of elites under his command all spanned thousands of miles, and it was not easy to get this foothold. Now there is only one city left, and they will have to fight to the death in order to survive.

On the plain, the two sides set up positions.

Queen Himiko looked at the scattered military formation in front of her and wondered, "According to the description of the soldiers who escaped from the Beichen family, the Han army is extremely powerful, why is it so vulnerable?" ”

After all, she is a ruler, and she still has the most basic political sense, and she always feels that this battle is too smooth.

The henchman and general "Kawashima Tamao" on the side said with a smile: "Losers will always make excuses for their own strength, and they say that the Han army is superb, isn't it just to cover up their incompetence?" ”

"The Han Dynasty was very powerful, and the people of the past saw it with their own eyes."

"Your Excellency, don't forget, this Han army is not the regular army of the Han Dynasty at all, but a lost dog that was expelled after the failure of the rebellion."

Queen Himiko glanced at him and said indifferently: "I heard that the Han people have a military book called [Sun Tzu's Art of War], and they are very good at using intrigues and tricks, so don't underestimate the enemy. ”

However, Kawashima, who was already complacent, obviously didn't listen, and just agreed: "Your Excellency the Queen is right, it's better to let the last general try the depth of the Han army." ”

"Well, be careful, don't fall for their tricks."

"Yes."

After Kawashima finished speaking, he waved his hand: "The whole army listens to the order and advances." ”

As soon as the words fell, the general in charge of the order wandered around, and then the 30,000 troops under Kawashima began to advance.

On the other side, Cao Ren also began to wave the order flag after receiving the order.

"Array, meet the enemy."

Soon, the soldiers at the forefront began to form a formation, but they still looked very disorganized. Because although they wore the armor of the Han army, most of them were actually Japanese people.

Although Cao Ren was in charge of the drill, after all, the time was too short, and it was almost hot to achieve the order and ban.

With the sound of loud war drums echoing across the plains, the two armies entered a hand-to-hand handover.

Even if it is with the unfamiliar Japanese people, when holding the bow and crossbow of the Han army, the lethality is still very terrifying, especially in the face of the poorly equipped Japanese army.

Listening to the constant reports of casualties, Kawashima's eyelids jumped.

"The weapons and equipment of the Han army are really excellent, but unfortunately the people who use them are not good. Heh, soon it'll be all mine. ”

After speaking, he ordered an increase in troops, intending to use crowd tactics to open a gap in the face of the rain of arrows.

This is because Kawashima felt that the Han army was only relying on the advantage of weapons, and once it entered the handover, this advantage would be lost.

In the face of the Han army's strong bow and crossbow, this sea of people tactic is a live target, once within the range of the bow and arrow, it is like jumping into a ruthless meat grinder.

The cold blood blends with the snow, and the black and red are quite spectacular.

It's a ruthless battlefield, but it's a natural grave.

However, the crowd tactic is starting to work.
