Chapter 223: The Battle of the Japanese Army (II)

When the Japanese generals saw a group of elite enemy infantry coming towards them, they immediately sent their samurai to intercept them.

These samurai were the stronger of the Japanese soldiers, so they were all equipped with iron armor, and the katanas in their hands were obviously well-crafted, all of them flashing with a silver metallic cold light.

The two sides soon collided violently, and those Japanese samurai slashed at Li Kui and them one by one with katanas, and some of the samurai in the rear were holding spears, constantly stabbing spears through the gaps between their companions in front of them.

After Li Kui was stabbed a few times, he found that although those katanas were sharp, they could not break through the defense of the heavy steel plate armor on his body at all, and those spears stabbed on the armor also splashed a few sparks at most.

So he simply ignored the enemy's attack, and swung the plate axe in his hand with all his strength, cutting down the Japanese warriors who were intercepting in front of him one by one.

The crossbowmen and ordinary infantry under the mountain were also following quickly at this time, and those crossbowmen began to release arrows as they advanced, supporting Li Kui and them who were fighting in front.

Most of the armor equipped by those Japanese warriors is just iron armor, and in the face of the strong bow and crossbow of the Blue Dragon Empire, it is completely guarded against at all, and every time the arrow rain falls, many Japanese warriors will be shot down.

A large number of Japanese warriors died, causing the blood on the ground to quickly collect into streams, which continued to flow down the mountain, which made the hillside extremely slippery, and many soldiers fell several times because of the slippery ground during Li Kui's advance.

However, the morale of the people was very high, after all, those Japanese people were now defeated by them, and they were only more than a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain.

When those Japanese generals saw that the infantry of the Han people was also so powerful, they actually slashed and killed tens of thousands of warriors all the way, and they were about to kill in front of them, and they all panicked one by one.

Some of the Japanese generals suggested retreating down the mountain to avoid the enemy's elite heavy infantry, but others said that they would likely encounter an attack by the Han Chinese hoplites and that they would die more quickly.

So after arguing for a while, these Japanese generals finally decided to stay on the top of the mountain to defend it, and at this time, for the sake of their own lives, these Japanese generals also sent out their most elite personal soldiers to block Li Kui and them, the elite heavy infantry of the Blue Dragon Empire.

It's a pity that before these hundreds of elite warriors could make a move, the ordinary infantry and crossbowmen who had already followed appeared, among which the crossbowmen naturally had a few rounds of arrows covering the fire, and they shot nearly half of the elite warriors at once.

Then those ordinary infantrymen held phalanx spears more than five meters long one by one, and laid out a more rigorous gun formation than the previous Wakoku Ashigaru, and slowly advanced towards those elite samurai.

Before the elite warriors could touch the enemy, they were stabbed to death by the staggeringly long phalanx spears.

Those Japanese generals saw that the last elite was also annihilated, so they wanted to escape, but unfortunately they were all caught before they ran down the mountain, and several of them still wanted to resist, and were directly cut into two pieces by the grumpy Li Kui, and the remaining Japanese generals saw this terrible scene, and they all became well-behaved and did not dare to continue to resist.

In addition to these Japanese generals, the army led by Song Jiang also captured more than 80,000 Japanese prisoners in this battle, and less than 10,000 escaped, and the rest were basically killed on the spot, and a few seriously injured were also cut down by Song Jiang.

After all, after he finished fighting here, he was still going to support Lu Junyi's side! Lu Junyi's side is also facing the army of the Goryeo Kingdom with more than 200,000 troops!

So after hastily cleaning up the battlefield, Song Jiang prepared to set off for Qingzhou, and as for those Japanese prisoners, he sent 5,000 militiamen to escort them back to Dengzhou City.

It took more than three days for Song Jiang to finally lead the army to the vicinity of Qingzhou City, but as soon as he got closer, he faintly heard the sound of fighting coming into his ears.

"It must be Brother Lu who is leading the army to fight with the Koreans, brothers speed up a little more, we rush over to support, and attack those Koreans on both sides!" After Song Jiang heard the sound of the fight, he immediately judged the general situation and ordered loudly to his soldiers.

So the whole army began to speed up, and it took less than half an hour to reach the battlefield.

When they arrived, they found that the battle seemed to be over, and a large number of Goryeo soldiers were fleeing in all directions.

Song Jiang and the others were stunned for a moment when they saw this, and then immediately helped to arrest those defeated soldiers.

After the arrest was over, the two sides combined and found that they had captured more than 100,000 Goryeo prisoners, which was close to 110,000.

And Lu Junyi, who had personally fought with those Koreans, said that these Goryeo soldiers were a bunch of waste, and he had just fought for a while and killed thousands of people! These Koreans were simply scattered.

And a non-commissioned officer next to him said that the thousands of people were killed by General Lu Junyi alone, and the ones they killed have not been counted! So it's normal for those Koreans to be scared and collapse, after all, Lu Junyi directly crashed into the enemy formation, and then killed thousands of enemy soldiers in less than ten minutes like the autumn wind sweeping away leaves!

This is like a performance like a matchless, who will not be afraid when they see it!

And Song Jiang then also said that those Japanese people are actually not too forbidden to fight, especially their cavalry is too weak, and they were directly destroyed by Hua Rong and their troops, but their so-called warriors are still a little combative, and the casualties are almost half of them in the process of fighting with Li Kui, and there is no sign of collapse, and in the end, if it weren't for those Japanese generals who were frightened and fled first, it seems that those Japanese warriors can fight and die until only the last person remains.

The same thing on both sides is that after the war, they both captured a lot of prisoners, of which Song Jiang captured more than 80,000, and Lu Junyi captured nearly 110,000, adding up to almost 200,000.

With so many captives, it is necessary to settle them properly, otherwise chaos will inevitably arise at that time.

So the two of them wrote a war report to Ye Tianlong, the emperor of the Qinglong Empire, one was to report the war here to him, and the other was to ask him for instructions on how to deal with these prisoners of war.

Ye Tianlong was already on the way back to the court at this time, and he was also very happy after receiving this good news from Song Jiang, after all, the two armies of Goryeo and Wa did not land, and it was always a hidden danger to drift outside, and now that he was annihilated, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

As for those captives of Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom, Ye Tianlong replied directly to Song Jiang, asking Song Jiang to send these guys to various mines to mine, or to build roads and dams, etc., anyway, any dirty work can be arranged for these captives, after all, who told these guys to dare to invade his Qinglong Empire! When the time comes, these guys deserve to be exhausted to death.

At the same time, Ye Tianlong also felt that his next step was to vigorously develop the navy, when he was on the Calradia continent before, Ye Tianlong relied on the Sea Dragon battleship to easily defeat the navies of other countries, so the scale of the navy has not expanded much.

As a result, those high-tech creations could not be used, and the Sea Dragon was also lying on its stomach, resulting in Ye Tianlong only being able to use the wooden warships in his hands to form a naval force.

However, these wooden battleships are more complicated to control than ironclad ships like the Sea Dragon, coupled with the limited time, the navy of the Blue Dragon Empire is still very small, and there are only a dozen warships that can form combat effectiveness, which is not enough to protect the long coastline of the Blue Dragon Empire.

Therefore, Ye Tianlong really felt that it was necessary for him to expand the navy. In this way, once the navy is formed, it can not only protect the sea frontier of the Qinglong Empire, firmly block the enemies such as Goryeo and Wa from coming from across the sea, but also rely on warships to carry soldiers across the sea to land in the rear of the Jin Kingdom for sneak attacks. Or simply transport troops to Goryeo and Wa to completely occupy these two small countries that dare to provoke him in the Blue Dragon Empire.

And when he thought of this, Ye Tianlong suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a lot of huge reserves of gold and silver mines in the territory of the Wa Kingdom! It just so happens that he has been a little short of money recently, so after the expansion of the navy is completed, he will be the first to clean up the Japanese country! When the time comes, he will occupy the island and take all the people on it to the mines to mine, or throw them on the farms for him to farm, and provide him with a steady stream of gold, silver and food.

In this way, while Ye Tianlong was thinking about his next strategy in his heart, he unconsciously rode back to Tokyo City on a war horse.

Tokyo City is here by his most trusted master Li Rufeng led by an army of 50,000 troops, Li Rufeng, who has reached the innate double, is guarding here, and those who dare to make trouble will be suppressed by it as soon as they emerge, with her, this Tokyo City has been very stable during Ye Tianlong's expedition.

However, after Ye Tianlong returned to Tokyo City this time, he also heard a news that surprised him, that is, many ministers and scholars of the former Song Kingdom actually wanted to move Ye Tianlong through Li Rufeng, so that they, the officials and scholars of the previous dynasty, could also serve as officials in the Qinglong Empire.

The reason why Ye Tianlong felt that this news was unexpected was because these guys, when he first entered Tokyo City, were secretly scolding him as a thief and a pariah! One by one, they didn't look down on the olive branch that Ye Tianlong extended to them, and they didn't want to be an official in the Blue Dragon Empire at all.

The few who were willing to come to be officials, Ye Tianlong checked the history books, and found that they were all traitorous ministers, so in the end, Ye Tianlong failed to recruit a Song Dynasty official, which directly led to the shortage of officials in his hands now.

Seeing Ye Tianlong's surprised look, Li Rufeng explained to him on the side, it turned out that these Song Dynasty officials saw that the army of the Qinglong Empire was under the leadership of Ye Tianlong, and even the Jin and Western Xia people were repulsed, recovering most of the lost territory of the Song Dynasty, which made them feel that the Qinglong Empire might really be able to succeed! Therefore, many of them who still have a career in the career began to think about leaving the relationship and seeking an official position in the Blue Dragon Empire.

Ye Tianlong nodded his head in understanding after listening to Li Rufeng's explanation, and then he asked Li Rufeng about the situation of those players.

Previously, because of the fall of the real world, many of those players collapsed because they couldn't withstand such a huge blow.

So in desperation, Ye Tianlong could only leave these guys in Tokyo City to recuperate, hoping that over time, these guys could slowly recover.

And now he also learned from Li Rufeng's mouth that many of those players have indeed gradually eased up, but there are still some who seem to have completely degenerated, one by one drunk and dreaming in Tokyo all day long, lingering in the Qinglou Casino, and almost losing the rewards obtained for their previous meritorious service.

For this situation, neither Ye Tianlong nor Li Rufeng has any good way, but those players who have recovered can let them start to work back, just by placing them in various places as officials, and by the way, monitoring those Song Dynasty officials, lest these guys deceive their superiors and subordinates to do things for him.

That's right, Ye Tianlong has already decided to absorb some Song Dynasty officials and scholars to work for him, after all, his current territory is too big, and he can't train so many officials to help him manage various places in a short period of time, so now he can only use these former dynasty officials for a while.

After saying these official things, Li Rufeng said another private matter to Ye Tianlong, that is, now the Qinglong Empire feels that Ye Tianlong should choose some women to enrich his harem, and if these women can give birth to a few boys to Ye Tianlong, then this Qinglong Empire can be regarded as a successor, don't be afraid that Ye Tianlong will have an accident after this Qinglong Empire does not even have an heir.

Ye Tianlong feels that he has so many things to be busy with now, and he doesn't have the energy to go to the draft girl, not to mention ordinary women, he can't look down on them now, if he really wants to find a woman, at least he has to find someone who is similar to him, otherwise he is afraid that he will hurt the other party when he goes to bed, and he must always be careful, how unpleasant it is!

After Li Rufeng heard this concern of his apprentice, he couldn't help laughing, and then said that if he looked like this, Ye Tianlong might only be able to choose women among the troops under his command, after all, ordinary women would not practice martial arts at all, for fear that they would be trained to be as muscular as a man, and they would be tall and tall, resulting in no man willing to marry him in the end.

But soon Li Rufeng couldn't laugh when she smiled, because she found that her apprentice's eyes were suddenly fixed on her, and at this time, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be one of the few female martial artists whose cultivation was comparable to that of the other party! The other party can't be fancy himself, right?

At this time, Li Rufeng also found that she was not young, although after breaking through to the innate realm, her longevity increased greatly, making her seem younger than before, but this could not change that she was an old woman who was about to reach seventy. A woman of her age, I'm afraid ordinary people won't take a fancy to her, but I don't know what I think about this closed disciple, I still have thoughts about her, the master, and want to be the rebel disciple of the master.

In the following period, the Qinglong Empire entered a state of recuperation, although there will be some skirmishes in various places, but most of them are small-scale battles with a scale of less than a thousand people, but the big war is completely gone, and the whole country began to quickly recover its national strength under Ye Tianlong's strong intervention.
