In Yujin Mountain, three thousand Japanese soldiers were searching all over the mountain on a large scale, assassinating the two assassins of Abe Eyeaki, Date Masamune's face was so angry that his face turned red and he clenched the hilt of his sword, but he didn't dare to leave the heavy guards of his own soldiers for half a step.

The two assassins were outrageously tall and difficult to deduce with common sense.

"Inch by inch search, if these two don't die, I won't be able to sleep peacefully!"

Date Masamune has been dizzy, Abe is not under his command, and he is also quite respected in front of the major names of Wajima, but he was killed right under his nose, how to explain to others?

Now that the person is dead, and the kamikaze wandering near Wa Island is not self-defeating, it is estimated that at this time, the Xia army may be attacking.

"Kotaro, you must find these two and bring their heads to me!"

"Yes!"

Wind Demon Kotaro was wearing a Pranya mask, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, but after agreeing so neatly, he must still be a little sure.

Seeing this, Date Masamune nodded, and was about to speak, when the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded behind him, and a short Japanese man made Fan ride a war horse to find here, which made Fan look panicked, and before the war horse stopped, he turned over and dismounted in a panic, and knelt on the ground and bowed his hand.

"Ida-sama, Natsu...... Xia Army...... Kill the island! ”

This seventy-year-old seventeenth generation governor of the Date clan, a famous daimyo of the Ou region in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, the ancestor of the Sendai domain in the Edo period, and the young name Brahma Maru.

Although his body is crippled, he has not had the slightest rickety in his back, and his momentum has never weakened.

In the past life, it can be called the life of Rong Ma, he lost an eye when he was a teenager, but he still succeeded as the governor of the family and devoted himself to external expansion.

It's a pity that he had the ambition to unify the Japanese island, but he didn't have the ability to sweep away the Japanese island, and finally surrendered to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but unfortunately after the death of the talented Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he switched to the Tokugawa family.

That's why he was pushed to the island of 'Shikoku', at the forefront, after all, his two former masters are here at the moment.

During the time he came to Shikoku, he united with Kenshin Uesugi, who was also pushed to the front, and wanted to jointly build Shikoku belonging to the two of them, supervise the naval army here, build Nagano Castle, plunder the maritime merchants, and force the maritime merchants of other countries to form a trade network with Nagano Castle.

At the same time, it also made people covet the Xia Kingdom in the west with the highest combat readiness, inquire about information, and infiltrate their bureaucracy.

Since losing his right hand, he has been unable to sleep for many nights, not because of the pain of losing his right hand, but because from the assassination of the other party, he seems to see the grandeur of the Xia army in the future.

The wind blew, he watched the wind demon Kotaro ride away, Date Masamune hesitated for a moment, or turned the horse's head, and went down the mountain, the report just now did not make him much surprised, after losing the protection of the kamikaze, it was a matter of time before the Xia army killed Wajima.

It's just that it came so fast that it was hard to react.

"Return to Nagano Castle immediately, shrink your forces, consolidate the city's defenses, and in addition, immediately send people to Unguni Island and ask them to send reinforcements immediately!"

"The terrain is dangerous, and we must hold on, and we can't let the Xia army pass easily."

"Inform all the people on the island that the Xia Kingdom came here to slaughter, and they will not accept surrender!"

"Possess the war forbearance, assassinate the generals of the Xia Kingdom at any cost!"

On the way down the mountain, Date Masamune's tone was fast, and he issued several orders to go out one after another, and he was a little relieved to see that all the envoys had been sent out.

Immediately, he hurried back to Nagano Castle in the north of Shikoku Island with a team of 5,000 light feet and 400 samurai.

Just in the time of return,

Half of the area of Shikoku Island will be enveloped in great chaos.

Since the three armies of the Xia Kingdom landed on the western coast, after the 30,000 Japanese soldiers stationed here were broken, the scattered Japanese fled for their lives.

Even on the way, these Japanese soldiers were led by the generals to reorganize their teams, and then received orders from above to guard the dangerous terrain, or go to nearby villages to publicize the terrible Xia army.

However, there were still many Japanese soldiers who fled quietly on the way, or were caught by the Xia army chasing and killed, and cut down on the spot.

After that, the three soldiers and horses of Bingzhou, Youyan, and Tang Army did not stop to rest, these three were the founding soldiers and horses of Great Xia, and they were strong in battle, and when they were still in their prime, they took the coastal beachhead and quickly spread the war to every place on the island.

By the time we had to kill the island, there were already sixteen Japanese villages, and a fire broke out, and the Japanese who had escaped a plague were not spared by this attack.

The slaughter spread wildly on the island, and the Xia army, like a tide that drowned and covered the past, continued to wash over and over the Japanese villages, combing over and over again, and the Japanese who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe were caught, cut off their heads, and hung on the wooden stakes or treetops along the way when the next wave combed over.

The defeated Japanese soldiers wanted to resist the Japanese people in the village, but this kind of unstrong resistance, in front of the old Xia soldiers and horses, could not afford sporadic sparks at all, and then was crushed without a trace under this catastrophe.

"Drive!"

The White Horse Yicong, who once set foot in the northern grasslands and the land of Liangzhou in the Central Plains and Northwest China, set foot on the land of the Japanese people with killing.

Zhao Yun was dressed in a white robe, carrying a gentian bright silver spear and galloping on his horse, and he didn't know how many villages had been burned down in his field of vision.

At this time, the people here have not been killed, he holds a gun in one hand, and presses the hilt of his sword in the other, so that the main force of the cavalry is waiting on the road outside, and he leads his own soldiers to approach that side, standing at the entrance of the simple village, where the sound of murder and arson is endless.

The crying short widow woman rushed out of the house on fire, desperately protecting the swaddling clothes in her arms, and when the baby's terrible cry came from her arms, the woman was no longer silent, and the swaddling clothes were then wrapped and swallowed by the flames, and the crying of the baby inside gradually stopped.

To the southwest of the village, a massacre by a Tang army continued, forcing dozens of Japanese into a narrow alley.

Subsequently, the Tang sergeant, who was less than 100 people, pushed in with weapons.

In the alley between the two houses, a devastating battle unfolded, and both ends were blocked by Tang soldiers, who were armed with spears or stabbed or shot arrows at the Japanese people in the alley with their crossbows.

Blood splattered out, men's screams, women's cries, children's cries all merged, and some tried to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

Then he was stabbed by Sergeant Tang, who had good habits, and mended them one by one in the chest and neck.

Among them, there were also Japanese soldiers who had been routed from the coast, and when they saw that they could not hide from pretending to be dead, they suddenly got up and rushed out, and only ran a few steps before they were shot to the ground by arrows.

The corpses and blood continued, and after cleaning up the village, the Tang army set all the thatched houses on fire and continued to the next place.

When I saw Zhao Yun at the entrance of the village, I didn't forget to bow to him.

Zhao Yun also returned the salute one by one, and finally took a look at the village that was no longer alive, pulled the reins, turned the direction, and led the cavalry to continue running.

Faced with the killing of women and children, Zhao Yun still felt a little unbearable in his heart, but out of pity for the weak, but thinking that several villages on the side of Lin County were slaughtered, and eight hundred villagers were killed, the mercy was taken back.

If a country's army practices a strategy of plundering and slaughtering other countries, the people of that country will naturally enjoy this dividend.

Since they have enjoyed it, when they are reckoned, no one is innocent.

Shortly after leaving the slaughtered Japanese village, the sound of fighting as the army advanced on the land of Shikoku Island was heard from all directions.

Zhao Yun walked through a low meadow, he suddenly 'shouted', stopped his horse, and pressed his arm on the hilt of his sword.

The gentian bright silver spear in his right hand jerked up and struck into the air.

It's a 'poof' sound.

The assassination came suddenly.

In a few steps, a weed burst open along with the ground, and a figure rushed out of the ground, throwing a hidden weapon at Zhao Yun at the same time, on the field, there were more than a dozen weeds moving quickly on the ground, towards the side of the three thousand white horses.

When everyone reacted, the secret weapon burst out at a terrifying speed, and then was sent flying in the air by the gentian bright silver spear, and the assassin above the air drew the knife from behind with his backhand, and slashed down with a sharp cry: "Wow-"

The terrible and eerie sound was like the cry of a night crow.

'Wow'

The cloak flew, and the moment the guards rushed over, Zhao Yun drew his sword with his left hand, and the sword light rushed out of the scabbard-

Wow!

The white horse man stood up, and at the same time as a cloud of sparks exploded in mid-air, the air wave pushed away, and the sword light reflected the sun, blooming with a dazzling light.

On the back of the horse, Zhao Yun looked indifferent, and the Qingyu Sword brought a touch of coldness, colliding with the Tai Dao in the assassin's hand in mid-air.

Bang!

The slashed sword was cut in two, and the attacking assassin was also slashed out by a sword swung from the horse's back.

It was a short man, holding a half-cut sword, and his body was also broken in half in mid-air, and when he fell, his internal organs were also scattered to the ground.

"Wow!"

The surrounding Japanese assassins rushed out of the ground one after another, their bodies leaping into the air, and as they threw their hidden weapons, they were faced with the arrows fired by these light horsemen on horseback.

Three thousand cavalry, even if only more than a thousand people in front of them have the opportunity to shoot arrows, it is a rain of arrows composed of thousands of arrows, and it will instantly cover more than a dozen warriors who jumped into the air.

Dense arrows were nailed to the shoulders, faces, chests, and thighs, squeezing them to the brim.

Afraid that they were not dead, these white horses collected their bows and guns, rushed up and stabbed at the corpses full of arrows on the ground.

After a while, Zhao Yun said faintly: "Put away the arrows, and then hang the corpses of this group of assassins in the nearby treetops, and let the other soldiers and horses passing by be careful of the Japanese assassination!" ”

He inserted his sword back, turned and galloped.

The order was issued, and the horsemen here stopped, leaving a few horsemen to collect the arrows on the corpse and hang the corpse to the nearby treetops, while the rest followed Zhao Yun and continued to move forward.

At present, they are assisting the infantry of each army from the side, and gradually surround Nagano Castle, which is located in the northern part of Shikoku, near the sea.

On June 12, the day after the three armies of Xia and more than 60,000 people killed Shikoku Island, various assassinations had already begun, but such assassinations, in front of the mighty soldiers, only splashed a handful of waves, and were soon pressed down by the general trend.

Soon after, on the southern outskirts of Nagano, scouts of the Xia army could already be seen flying around on the field.

It won't be long before the Xia army encircles Nagano. In the city, Date Masamune was still waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

On the fifth day, there were more and more enemy troops outside the city, and in the afternoon of the same day, he saw a huge white dragon flag on a black background.

The Great Xia Imperial Banner appeared in the distance of vision.

The Emperor of Xia personally conquered!
