He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

However, when Zhang Beixing saw them standing smugly on the boat, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Do you really think you can escape with these scraps of metal?" he sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Beixing tapped his toes and jumped lightly into the sea.

The sea water under his feet seemed to be summoned, and huge waves surged up to lift him up.

The sea was surging, with huge waves as high as three or four meters. Zhang Beixing stepped on the waves and flew forward as if walking on flat ground, chasing the fleet in front.

When had the soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire ever seen such a strange sight?

They never expected that Zhang Beixing would catch up with them in this way.

Moreover, his way of moving was so strange. They had never seen anyone walking on the waves. What was even more shocking was that he seemed to be able to control these huge waves.

If Zhang Beixing really possessed such a terrifying ability, then they would probably be doomed. Are they really going to die here?
The soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire looked at the rising waves ahead, their hearts filled with fear...

The reason they came from afar was to expand the country's territory.

Because although the Great Sakura Empire has a loud name, it is actually a tiny place.

In this small country, growing vegetables is not enough to meet food needs, and hunting also yields little because of the scarcity of species.

The Great Sakura Empire got its name not because of its vastness, but because of the people's love for cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossoms are not unique to them, but the people's love for them has made cherry blossoms a symbol of the country. After large-scale planting, the country also got its name from it.

Due to their small territory, they chose to attack the neighboring Kyushu in order to seek more resources.

The Kyushu Empire is rich in products. A variety of fruits and vegetables grow on its vast land, and its animal and plant resources are also extremely abundant.

These are the treasures that people in the Great Sakura Empire dream of.

Therefore, their attack was not only to seize territory, but also to plunder the rich resources of Kyushu.

In order to make up for the small size of their territory, they almost devoted all their military forces to this war.

The soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire set out on their voyage to Kyushu with great honor.

They firmly believed that they had the most advanced ships and the bravest soldiers, and that Kyushu would be easily captured.

In their eyes, although Kyushu is vast, its people and soldiers are cowardly.

Although the people of Kyushu keep talking about peace, in the eyes of the Great Sakura Empire, this is just a manifestation of their weakness.

When faced with conflict, Kyushu often chooses verbal warnings and declarations rather than bravely fighting.

This declaration may be seen as a symbol of peace and civilization in some countries, but in the eyes of the Great Sakura Empire, it is just a synonym for weakness.

For a weak country, being replaced may be the best outcome.

So, the soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire resolutely embarked on the journey of conquering Kyushu.

However, when they arrived in the Kyushu waters, they encountered an unexpected opponent - Zhang Beixing.

What they encountered was not a group of soldiers, but a lone hero.

If it was the Kyushu army that defeated them, they might be able to return home and explain to their people that although the Kyushu people were weak, they were cunning and insidious, and good at using mechanisms and tricks.

But now, they are facing only one person. How can they explain to the people?

Holding flying needles and a long sword, Zhang Beixing stepped on the huge waves and chased after them like a sea god.

Fortunately, their ship was extremely fast and traveled nearly a thousand nautical miles in less than five minutes.

However, the huge waves behind them were getting closer and closer, making them frightened.

The person in charge of the boat was the retired general Yamashita Matsui, who was once a distinguished general of the Great Sakura Empire and had made countless contributions to the country.

After retirement, he still cared about the country and stayed on the warship to continue serving the country.

"Although my body has aged, my soul will always be young, and I will always dedicate myself to the Great Sakura Empire!" Yamashita Matsui often said this proudly.

The soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire have all heard the legendary stories of this old general.

It is said that when he was young, Yamashita Matsui had made great achievements in battle and had never suffered defeat. What the soldiers talked about most was his love life.

Legend has it that Yamashita Matsui has married seven wives from his youth to the present, some of whom were prisoners of war.

At this moment, Yamashita Matsui was sitting in the cabin steering the boat, completely unaware of what was happening on the sea. He still thought that the soldiers had already entered Kyushu and were celebrating their victory.

When he heard the noise outside, he thought it was the soldiers cheering for the acquisition of new territory.

"My dear soldiers, have you occupied new territory?" He thought proudly, stroking his mustache.

However, when he pushed open the cabin door and walked out, the scene before him surprised him.

He did not see the soldiers cheering and celebrating, but saw corpses lying all over the place. Although he did not recognize these corpses, the familiar military uniforms made him feel heartbroken.

That was their country's military uniform, a symbol of glory that everyone in their country dreamed of, but now it was worn by these fallen soldiers.

Yamashita Matsui was furious. He could not tolerate the weakness of his country's soldiers. He rushed onto the ship and picked up the fallen soldiers one by one and threw them overboard.

"You cowards, how could you die so easily? You are not worthy to be soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire!" he roared.

"Get up and fight! Get up quickly! You can't fall down!" He tried to awaken the soldiers' fighting spirit.

However, he became even angrier when he saw the ship was heading in the direction of the Great Sakura Empire.

They haven't acquired any new territory yet, why should they go back?

How could he face the people of Jiangdong when he returned like this?
"Don't turn the ship back! Drive it towards Kyushu! We want to acquire new territory! Have you forgotten?" he ordered loudly.

Although these soldiers had never seen Yamashita Matsui in person, they had all heard the legend of the old general.

Therefore, they did not dare to disobey Yamashita Matsui's orders.

What's more, the conspicuous black mole on his forehead made them recognize this legendary figure at a glance.

The general quickly made a deep impression on people with his iconic appearance, making him instantly recognizable.

"Look, it's General Yamashita Matsui! We are saved, he's here!" someone shouted excitedly.

"It's General Yamashita Matsui! We will definitely be able to turn danger into safety today. With him, victory will definitely belong to us!" Another person said confidently. "General, please save us! The man behind us is catching up!" A soldier shouted anxiously.

Yamashita Matsui, however, seemed unconcerned. He was full of confidence and thought that he had never been defeated before, so this war would naturally be no problem for him.

He has never been defeated since he was born, which has shaped his arrogant character and made him feel that he is invincible.

He was furious at the state of the war. Why hadn't they come to him for help sooner?
If a soldier from the Great Sakura Empire had come to find him in time, they wouldn't have had to flee in such a panic.

So he ordered the soldiers in front to stop sailing and prepare to turn around to face the surging waves.

However, at this moment, the huge wave strangely stopped in mid-air.

Seeing this, Yamashita Matsui was even more proud, thinking that it was his own might that frightened the enemy behind the huge wave. He felt that he was still as good as ever, and his reputation was not only well-known in the Great Sakura Empire, but also feared by people in Kyushu.

When the soldiers of the Great Sakura Empire saw that the huge wave that was chasing them suddenly stopped, they all thought that it was the old general's divine power that came into play.

"Look, the waves have really stopped! The general is so mighty!" a soldier exclaimed.

"Great, we don't have to die!" another soldier cheered.

"General Yamashita Matsui is so awesome!" everyone praised.

However, before they could finish their words, the huge wave suddenly accelerated and roared towards them.

Zhang Beixing had heard their conversation and saw the so-called General Yamashita Matsui. He was very curious because the general looked to be over 70 years old, perhaps in his seventies.

He had heard of this man's reputation before. When he was young, Yamashita Matsui was one of the topics they talked about.

However, at that time they did not regard Yamashita Matsui as a heroic general, but discussed him as a negative example and a rogue character.

He still remembered that when his classmates gathered together to talk about the Great Sakura Empire, it was when the Great Sakura Empire attacked a weak country.

The country is small in size and has just experienced an economic crisis. Most countries in the international community advocate providing assistance.

However, only the Great Sakura Empire, due to its geographical proximity, offered to help the country through the crisis.

But the Great Sakura Empire is known for its lack of credibility, and many people are skeptical about its aid.

At this moment, the United States suddenly stood up and united a large number of countries to support the actions of the Great Sakura Empire.

They claimed that the Great Sakura Empire had sovereignty and that if it was willing to provide financial assistance to other countries, it should be given credit.

Under the half-true and half-false threats from the Eagle Sauce Country, the Great Sakura Empire gained the right to act freely, which indirectly led to the demise of that country.

Although the country was in danger due to the economic crisis, it was not on the verge of destruction.

However, the Great Sakura Empire sent soldiers to the country several times under the pretext of restoring its military power.

As a result, their arrival caused serious damage to the country's border defenses and infantry, and its military force collapsed directly.

Subsequently, the Great Sakura Empire used the excuse that a soldier was missing to directly send troops to invade the country's territory.

Under their constant provocation, the country eventually collapsed.

At this moment, what came to Zhang Beixing's mind was not the destroyed country, but the mastermind of the war - Yamashita Matsui.

The war was won only because of Yamashita Matsui's cunning strategy.

He used the excuse that his brother was missing to lead his soldiers deep into the enemy's territory, but in fact he was coveting the beautiful women of that country.

He fell in love with the daughter of a family and forcibly married her.

After that, he became even more covetous of the women of that country. He tried every means to attack that country and bring all the women he liked back home as his wives and concubines.

When Zhang Beixing heard about this, he was furious and vowed to seek justice for those women.

Now, he finally saw the elderly Yamashita Matsui and felt that it was time to seek justice for those innocent women.

Yamashita Matsui was still arrogant and thought he was invincible. When he saw Zhang Beixing, he was confident that he could easily defeat him.

"Drive the boat over and go straight through the huge waves!" Yamashita Matsui ordered.

The soldiers looked at the towering waves with fear in their hearts. On top of the waves stood an enemy who looked like Yama.

"General, the waves are too rough. Although our ship is strong, it will probably be seriously damaged if it passes through such huge waves." A soldier said worriedly.

The other soldiers nodded in agreement. The huge wave was indeed too huge for them.

If they force their way through, many people may be swept into the sea by the huge waves.

"Moreover, the water is so turbulent that even if the boat can pass, the people on board may not be safe," another soldier added.

However, at this moment, Yamashita Matsui was full of desire for victory and would not listen to anyone's advice. He believed that as a soldier of the Great Sakura Empire, he should not admit defeat. He felt that the words of these soldiers were excuses to avoid the war because they were weak and cowardly.

"You are just looking for excuses! You are unworthy of being citizens of the Great Sakura Empire!" Yamashita Matsui shouted angrily, his beard almost standing up. But the soldiers refused to move forward, and he could do nothing about it.

After thinking for a moment, Yamashita Matsui decided to take the helm himself.

"I tell you, you have to fight today whether you want to or not! With me here, this war must be won!" He said firmly, "I will cross these huge waves now to take the life of that bastard! If any of you are willing to go with me, then follow me; if not, then jump into the sea and swim back!"

Yamashita Matsui looked at the surging waves and concluded that these soldiers would not choose to jump into the sea in order to survive.

Therefore, they must fight this war.

Sure enough, the soldiers who were originally determined not to move forward, after hearing the general's words, became hesitant. They had only two choices: either die or die in battle. In the end, they decided to fight again.

Zhang Beixing found it very interesting to see them struggling desperately.

In his opinion, this kind of behavior of trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm is just a fun game.

So he decided to play with them first. He deliberately let the huge wave stop in the air and become calm. Seeing this, Yamashita Matsui was more convinced that his victory was in sight.

Zhang Beixing stood on the huge waves, overlooking the busy people below, his heart full of irony.

To him, these people were just as insignificant as ants, yet they dared to compete with him.

Although he was alone, he was like the god of death to the hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of enemies.

"I advise you to turn back immediately. (End of this chapter)
