Daxia Lingxian

Chapter 360 The final battle!

"Once the army of millions of gods was destroyed, even the Yamata no Orochi was destroyed."

"The emperor died in disaster, and the ministers of the Manchu dynasty died for their country..."

"The Xia thief Luo Ning also announced the Great Righteous Order, abolishing the privileges of warriors and monks, and cutting taxes..."

"The Xia thieves were so mad that they made Princess Yingzi king, issued a false edict to depose the shogunate, and revolutionized the generals who conquered the barbarians..."

When the news came, the shogunate exploded.

Everyone was horrified by the daimyo of the various vassals who entered Kansai together with General Toyotoku Hideyasu who conquered barbarians.

The gathered Japanese army of more than one million people was also demoralized.

His Majesty the Emperor is dead, the imperial court is finished, and even the extremely powerful army of gods has strangely failed.

How can we fight this battle?Can you still win the fight?

The shogunate and the daimyo of each domain had no reservations this time, and it can be said that they spent their money.But at this time, there are only one million and hundreds of thousands of troops, and they have no energy for a decisive battle!

However, if we don’t fight this battle, we will lose without fighting!

Seeing that the morale of the army was severely frustrated, in desperation, Toyote Hideyasu had no choice but to order the troops stationed at Mount Ibuki in the northwest of Sekigahara to suspend the advance.

The Ibuki Mountain Castle guarding Sekigahara suddenly became a huge military city, extending hundreds of miles together.

The entire Ibuki Mountain was shrouded in dark clouds from the military domain.

By the end of September, the most powerful and final strategic forces of the entire Japanese country had all gathered on Mount Ibuki.

Not only did they gather 150 million troops from the shogunate and various vassals, they also gathered [-]% of the powerful men of the Japanese country.

Among them, there are as many as seven real strong people.All the remaining real people in the Japanese country have arrived.

September [-]th, it’s a dark night.

There are no stars or moon in the entire Ibuki Mountain.

In the large tent of the Chinese army of General Zhengyi, the general's name and his family's senior ministers were holding a military meeting.

Everyone's face was extremely solemn.

Toyotoku Hideyasu is a real and perfect strong man, with a mountain-like momentum and no anger.As the top master of the shogunate, he deserves the title of shogun.

This man is the real master of the Japanese country.

He controlled most of the military power and most of the taxation of the Japanese country.The feudal lord of the Tondoku family also controlled the richest and most dangerous territory of Japan.

Among the more than 100 daimyo of Japan, no one dared to resist the shogunate or Toyoda Hideyasu.

Even the former Emperor Taken could only guard the capital and Kyoto and recognize the shogunate's rule over Japan.

For hundreds of years, Totoku Hideyasu has been the most powerful person in the shogunate.

But at this time, Toyotoku Hideyasu lost his previous ease and became worried.

He was worried about the honor of the Tokoku family, the safety of the shogunate, and the future of the Japanese country.

"Everyone." Feng Dexiuyasu's temples became even grayer, his gloomy eagle eyes looked around everyone, and his tone was slow.

He waved the folding fan in his hand and said, "In this current situation, do you have any good advice for me?"

"Lord!" Nagano Senke, the elder of the shogunate, stood up, "The most powerful force in the Kingdom of God has gathered in Mount Ibuki, which is attracting the attention of the whole world."

"With every day of delay, the puppet government established by Xia thief Luo Ning becomes more stable."

"If the delay continues, the morale of the military will become even less reliable."

"I thought, but I immediately raised the army's salary, made a noise and headed west, taking advantage of the Xia bandits' unstable foothold, to fight decisively in the capital!"

"No!" Another old minister of the family, Ida Anxin, objected, "My lord, even the army of gods is finished. All the last strength of the Kingdom of God is here. Isn't this a desperate move?"

"As the saying goes, think about defeat before winning. If you win, everything will be easy. But if you lose again, the Kingdom of God will be over."

"Baga!" Senke Nagano couldn't help scolding, "Anxin, you coward, don't let Xia's thief's ambition destroy your own prestige!"

"The Kingdom of God has an army of 150 million people. With so many strong men, how could it be defeated again!"

"The imperial court in Kyoto is incompetent, how can it be compared with the shogunate?"

Suddenly, the old ministers of the shogunate were divided into two groups.

One faction advocated not giving the puppet government time to gain a firm foothold, and immediately launched a crusade to decisively fight in the capital.

The other faction advocates temporarily delaying changes, preserving strength, and sticking to Kanto.

"Okay, let's not keep arguing." Hideyasu Totoku frowned, interrupting the debate among the retainers, and looked at another important person who had perfected his cultivation.

This person is none other than the Lord of the Kaga Domain, Maeda Ieyoshi.

Although the Kaga Domain is a foreign daimyo, neither an imperial clan nor a direct clan, it is the most powerful domain.

Maeda Iekichi himself was a perfect master of cultivation. This time he also sent 15 troops, accounting for [-]% of the army. He was the daimyo who sent the most troops among the feudal lords.

Therefore, Maeda Iekichi's status in the military was only that of Toyotoku Hideyasu.

Of course, Toyotoku Hideyasu would not ignore his opinion.

"Jiaji." Feng Dexiuyasu folded his fan and said, "You must have a good idea, right? Please don't be stingy."

Maeda Iekichi is unassuming and low-key.At this time, the shogun took the initiative to ask, and he leaned forward and said:

"I think that if we don't rush into a decisive battle, we can't withdraw from Kansai and stick to Kanto."

He put away the folding fan in his hand, "First of all, we have to figure out Xia Thief Luo's intentions."

"What is his intention? Is it just to overthrow the Kyoto court, or is it to completely destroy the Kingdom of God?"

"If he just changed the court and has no intention of destroying the Kingdom of God, then the two sides can't talk."

"If he wants to completely destroy the Kingdom of God...it's not impossible to talk about it!"

When Maeda Iekichi said this, he did not continue talking, but gave everyone time to digest.

"That's not right." Matsudaira Tadamori, the feudal lord, stood up, "Master Maeda, why can we talk to the Xia thieves about destroying the Kingdom of God? Isn't this something we would rather break into pieces than accept it?"

Hideyasu Toyoda understood, and explained for Maeda Iekichi: "Because we need time and opportunity to find out how the army of gods was destroyed."

"Negotiation is the time and opportunity to find out the matter, do you understand?"

After saying that, Toyotori Hideyasu nodded to Maeda Ieyoshi and said:

"Iayoshi-kun, your suggestion is really well-intentioned. I have no reason to refuse it. If I don't follow your words, the future of the Kingdom of God will be unpredictable."

Matsudaira Tadamori was a little embarrassed and his face turned red.He solemnly said to Hideyasu Totoku:
"My lord, I am such a stupid person. I am very ashamed, but I still don't quite understand what my lord and Lord Maeda mean."

"Isn't it the Yuan Kou Undead Yin Army under Luo's command that destroyed the army of gods? This is something everyone knows."

In fact, it's not just Matsudaira Tadumori who has this doubt, many people here don't quite understand.

"Tadamori." Toyotoku Hideyasu sighed, "There are some things I didn't say before in order not to affect the morale of the military."

"Now, we must speak out. We can no longer hide it."

He pointed to the west, "Do you think it was the Yin army under Luo's command that defeated the army of gods?"

"What kind of Yin army is capable of destroying an army of millions of gods? Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals?"

"No matter how strong the 50 Yin army is, and no matter how high Luo's military training is, it will still be difficult to achieve."

"Then, what force destroyed the army of gods that protects the Kingdom of God and is never easily summoned?"

The folding fan in his hand suddenly opened, "There is only one possibility. Xia Thief Luo still holds an evil secret power in his hands."

"In other words, the Luo family has a magic that can destroy the army of gods."

Maeda Iekichi nodded and said: "It is said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. Therefore, before we find out the enemy's trump card, we should not take the initiative to fight decisively. We can only delay it through negotiations."

"Of course, the best possibility is that that secret technique can only restrain the army of gods, but cannot restrain us. In this way, we have no worries."

"I hope so." Hideyasu Totoku sighed, "If we can also restrain us, then this battle will be difficult to fight."

"Date Anshin, just go to Kyoto and ask that Xia thief Luoning on behalf of the shogunate and the Kingdom of God what he wants."

Ida Anxin stood up and accepted the order: "Yes, Lord!"

Toyotoku Hideyasu warned: "You actually have only one mission, find a way to find out the truth and falsehood of the Luo family. Especially the power to destroy the army of gods. As for the negotiation, it actually does not exist, it is just an excuse."

Immediately, Toyotoku Hideyasu appointed Date Anshin as his envoy to go to Kyoto in the name of negotiation.

...

Kyoto, the autumn colors are deep.

Although Luo Ning and Lu Pianpian established Princess Yingzi as the Queen of Japan and established a new Japanese court in Heianjing, the people of Japan in the capital still believed that Princess Yingzi was not the queen, but the new emperor.

The Japanese would also accept the female emperor.Because in the history of Japan, there have been many female emperors.

Luo Ning didn't bother to correct this.

The Japanese believed that the queen was the emperor, which would be more conducive to his control of the Japanese country.

But what the Japanese didn't know was that although Yingzi became the "Emperor", he was actually just a slave of Lu Pianpian and Luo Ning.

It is the most noble main hall in the palace, where Luo Ning and Lu Pianpian stay.However, Yingzi was called the queen and lived in the side hall.

In the main hall, Luo Ning and Lu Pianpian, who occupied the magpie's nest, were drinking in the autumn sunshine.

Luo Ning was really drinking, while Lu Pianpian looked like he was drinking, but in fact he knew his own affairs.

But it seemed that she drank more happily than Luo Ning.

This scene made Luo Ning feel a little bitter in his mouth.

"After destroying the shogunate's army, the main force of the Japanese country will be finished." Lu Pianpian drank half the pot of 'Passionate Soul Brewing' in one breath, "At that time, we can go get the Yanzhou Cauldron."

Luo Ning glanced at Lu Pianpian sympathetically, "Aren't you afraid of hardship? You drank so fast."

Lu Pianpian smiled sweetly, "This means that long-term suffering is worse than short-term suffering. The faster you drink, the less you will suffer. Do you know what it means to take pleasure in suffering? That's it."

Luo Ning shook his head, took out his cigarette bag, and started smoking cigarettes.

Lu Pianpian was holding the Japanese noble's fan and pretending to fan it.

The two of them were bored when suddenly the voice of a Xia female cultivator came from outside the hall:

"To report to the General, the shogunate has sent an envoy to Kyoto, requesting to see the General."

"Also, the shogunate's army stayed at Mount Ibuki and did not march to Kyoto."

Luo Ning's eyes flashed and he said: "I know."

Lu Pianpian also narrowed his eyes playfully.For a while, the two looked at each other and said almost in unison: "The shogunate is stalling for time."

Luo Ning blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Speak first."

Lu Pianpian flipped her hair around her ears, "Simple. The shogunate is coming fiercely, and there are many people. Logically speaking, we should immediately enter the decisive battle in Gyeonggi while the Yingzi court's foothold is not stable."

"But instead of marching, Hideyasu Toyoda sent an envoy. The shogunate had absolutely no possibility of negotiation, but it came to negotiate anyway. Of course, it could only be a delay."

"Procrastination is not good for them. But they still have to delay. This can only show that there is some kind of concern that forces them to adopt a delaying strategy."

"What is this concern?"

When Lu Pianpian said this, she laughed again.

Obviously knows the answer.

Luo Ning also smiled, "Their concerns can only be the reason why the army of gods was destroyed. They don't know how the army of bullshit gods was killed, so of course they don't dare to fight decisively."

"This is normal. The Japanese have always been suspicious. They didn't dare to send troops unless they understood this."

"The shogunate sent an envoy here, of course, to test and learn the truth."

Lu Pianpian said: "If they knew that the statue of Lady Longwa could not restrain their army, they would dare to fight decisively."

Luo Ning sneered: "Then don't hide it and let the truth out. Let the Japanese know that although your statue destroyed the army of gods, it cannot restrain the army of humans."

This is a fact.Lu Pianpian passed the big sacrifice and destroyed millions of "gods" with the help of Luo Ning, which sounds very powerful.But in fact, it was also because Empress Longwa happened to be the nemesis of the "god".

If it were the human army, Lu Pianpian's secret technique of the Great Sacrifice would be useless.

Therefore, the concerns of the shogunate are actually unnecessary.

But the problem is, the shogunate doesn't know.

"Hee." Lu Pianpian raised her feet, "You are so anxious for a decisive battle. What if you lose? If the Yin Army is defeated, I won't be able to help you reverse the situation."

"I can't lose." Luo Ning puffed his pipe, "I'm just afraid that the shogunate will be unable to retreat!"

"As long as they dare to fight decisively, I will let them... come and go."

"Giggle..." Lu Pianpian smiled brightly, "You are so confident. They have an army of one million and hundreds of thousands!"

Luo Ning's cold red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "So what? I have 50 Yin soldiers in hand, and I can also play the role of Han Xin, the living soldier immortal."

"Although the shogunate has three times as many troops as I do, its individual combat power is not as good as that of the Yin soldiers. Although there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they are not as powerful as the Yin soldiers."

He stood up, looked at the rippling Lake Biwa outside, and said in a faint tone:

"After this battle, the shogunate will cease to exist."

He turned his head and looked at Lu Pianpian with twinkling eyes, "And the Japanese country will become the overseas land of Daxia!"

Lu Pianpian felt a little dazed looking at Luo Ning bathing in the autumn sunshine.

She couldn't help but lightly opened her red lips and murmured: "So, you have always been King Wu Cheng."

...

The shogunate envoy Date Anshin came to Kyoto, but Luoning refused to receive him.

But instead of being depressed, Ida Anxin felt happy.

Because, he easily found out the truth behind the annihilation of the army of gods.

It turned out that it was the secret technique of a woman named Lu Pianpian that destroyed the army of gods.

Ida Anxin quickly found out that Lu Pianpian was the leader of the Zhensi Sect.

Then her secret technique must be the divine sacrifice power of the True Sacrifice Sect.

That kind of magical power should indeed be the nemesis of "gods".But it is absolutely impossible to use it against the human army.

Otherwise, the Zhensi Sect would have successfully rebelled long ago.

After figuring this out, Date Anshin of course completed his mission and left Kyoto immediately.

But he never imagined that the truth he found out was deliberately leaked by Luo Ning and Lu Pianpian.

The purpose is to have a decisive battle as soon as possible!

...

Hideyasu Toyotoku, who received the reward from Date Anshin, finally gave up his worries.

It turns out that the worry was in vain.

So, let’s send out troops for a decisive battle now!
The survival of the kingdom of God depends on this!
On the fifth day of October, Toyotoku Hideyasu led an army of 150 million and a large number of Japanese masters, and left Ibuki Mountain Castle in a mighty manner.

On the seventh day of October, the shogunate's army crossed the Kiso River and drank from Lake Biwa!

Immediately, the shogunate army marched thousands of miles along the shores of Lake Biwa, and finally encountered the 50 Yin army led by Luo Ning!
The two armies faced each other at Otsu, south of Lake Biwa.

The decisive battle is about to start!
The shogunate's more than 150 million troops were spread over the mountains and plains, and their momentum covered the clouds and the sun.

The huge military domain gathered together, and the demonic aura of the war horses rose into the sky, crossing the sky and the earth, carrying an unparalleled power.

If the number of soldiers and horses exceeds 100 million, it is not as simple as an army.

With the current strong military strength, even if the army of Yin soldiers on the opposite side looks like clouds, Toyotoku Hideyasu and others are not afraid.

On the contrary, at this time, everyone is full of fighting spirit!
"The Chunyang Formation is ready," Feng Dexiukang said, "It's time to give Xia Thief Luo a surprise."

The most powerful man in the Japanese country, holding a folding fan, pointed at the Yin Army formation dozens of miles away, and said with the sound of gold and stone:
"The Luo thieves use the Yin army to attack the capital and harm the Kingdom of God. We will use the pure Yang formation to break the Yin army's spirit and defeat is certain."

He looked around and said: "Gentlemen, since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone using evil soldiers to conquer the world. Why?"

"Because Yin soldiers are Yin evil spirits, which interfere with the harmony of heaven and earth, and their weaknesses cannot be made up for. Breaking them with a majestic and masculine formation is like the scorching sun shining on ice and snow. Is there any reason why it will not melt?"

This is of course encouraging.In fact, although he was very confident, he was not sure of victory.

Because even he himself has never commanded an army of 150 million!

Although he fought many battles, the number of troops at his command never exceeded 30.

Now in charge of an army of 150 million, it is really difficult for him to command freely.

Therefore, Toyotoku Hideyasu's military training was not capable of setting up a pure Yang formation involving millions of troops. He could only set up five Pure Yang formations with 30 people as one group.

This is already the best tactic.

"Prepare to attack!" Toyotoku Hideyasu used his military seal and made a military order.

"Boom, boom—" Amidst the sound of the earth shattering, the 150 million shogunate army was divided into five independent formations in the blink of an eye.

Each Chunyang Formation consists of an army of 30 people, led by a general who is a real person.

The five formations were spread dozens of miles wide, forming a huge plum blossom formation, and they were quickly pressing towards the Yin Army formation.

The roar of the hooves of more than 100 million war horses seemed to make the entire earth tremble.

The suffocatingly powerful terrifying battlefield is like a huge dark cloud, shrouding it!

At the same time, a scorching sun energy actually emerged from the huge military formation.

Pure Yang Qi!

I don't know when, many Japanese monks appeared a hundred miles away and came to watch the decisive battle.

With such a large army fighting fiercely, the monks like them could not change anything at all and could only stand by helplessly.

In the formation of ghostly soldiers, Luo Ning and Lu Pianpian looked at the overwhelming shogunate army with calm expressions.

"Futoku Hideyasu's military training is not good." Luo Ning shook his head, "I really think highly of him. It turns out that he does not have the ability to command an army of millions!"

He pointed at his pipe and said, "The Pure Yang Formation is indeed the nemesis of the Yin soldiers. But he cannot arrange a unified Pure Yang Formation. He can only arrange five independent Pure Yang Formations."

The corner of Luo Ning's mouth curled up slightly, "In this way, the difficulty of command will be greatly reduced, but the power will also be greatly reduced, and there will be a lot of loopholes."

"As everyone knows, yang can destroy yin, and yin can also destroy yang! Feng Dexiuyasu tried to use pure yang to defeat my yin army, so I can naturally use yin to defeat his yang!"

"The one who breaks this formation is the Coiled Snake Formation! This is the famous formation of the Soldier Immortal Han Xin. The Yin Snake is like a twister, dividing and strangulating, and breaking each one."

He pointed at the Chunyang Formation in the middle of the enemy's army, "Strangle their hearts first, and their formation will be in chaos!"

After saying that, he turned around the Ling Daozhu and possessed the character of Han Xin, the soldier immortal.

The mysterious and mysterious true meaning of the art of war passed through the spiritual platform, and Luo Ning played several art of war techniques without any teacher.

The formation of Yin soldiers suddenly changed rapidly. In just a few breaths, it changed from a square formation to a coiled snake formation.

The formation of 50 Yin soldiers actually turned into an agile and powerful snake, emitting a terrifying Yin evil spirit.

It was like a huge dragon-like ghost snake, stretching and circling on the ground.

"What a powerful formation!" Lu Pianpian couldn't help blurting out.

She looked at Luo Ning's mysterious and complicated military tactics and was confused.

But she knew that in today's decisive battle, many Yin soldiers would be reincarnated and disappear into thin air.

Fortunately, for the resentful Yin soldiers, this was actually a relief and a new life, and was by no means a bad thing.

"Xiang—" The battle area of ​​50 Yin soldiers suddenly shrank, but became extremely condensed.

In the end, the Yin Soldier Battlefield turned into a slender snake field, like a shadowless giant snake in the void, with the power to penetrate the void.

At the same time, the sinister aura of the coiled snake array also rapidly condensed and became extremely cold.

"Nani? What kind of formation is this?" Feng Dexiuyasu couldn't help but frowned when he saw this.

Although he didn't recognize this weird formation, he felt unspeakably dangerous.

But it was already too late to withdraw the troops and reorganize their formations at this time.

"Kill! Serve the country for seven lives!"

Toyotoku Hideyasu could only shout and command the five pure Yang formations to continue rolling forward!

"Boom -" The formations of both sides suddenly collided and crushed each other.

However, what Toyotoku Hideyasu and others did not expect was that the Chunyang formation not only failed to restrain the Yin army, but the Yin army invaded five Chunyang formations and went straight to the central army where Toyotoku Hideyasu was!

"What's going on?!" Fonda Hideyasu was shocked, "What kind of formation is this?!"

"General!" Maeda Iekichi's voice came. "This may be the Coiled Snake Formation of the Ancient Soldier Immortal Han Xin! The Yin Army deployed the Coiled Snake Formation to defeat our army!"

Toyotoku Hideyasu was shocked, and then he saw that his own powerful battlefield had been penetrated!
The 50 Yin army was like a giant snake that had entered, splitting the five pure Yang formations with the terrifying Yin evil energy that had been condensed to the extreme.

Our own formation is suddenly in danger!
PS: I really have to go back to Daxia in the next chapter.
