Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 472 466. Surprise Attack
The navy led by Xu Sheng on the distant sea arrived at Touma City in a mighty manner, and all the ships of all sizes docked at the shore.

According to Feng Xi's request, they had previously docked at some islands in the south of Kyushu for a temporary rest, or had taken turns to rest at the port. This was in order to mislead the entire Japanese island according to Feng Xi's intentions, making them mistakenly believe that those small broken ships were all the Han army.

Now it seems that Feng Xi's arrangement was quite successful. As expected, Yasuke became the salted fish that took the bait.

"Besides, aren't you obsessed with those so-called extraordinary people from Yamatai who can defeat me? Don't worry too much, you will go down to accompany them soon."

Feng Xi saw Xu Sheng's navy approaching the shore, turned around, and spoke to Yasuke with a smile on his face. However, in Yasuke's eyes, that smile was as cold as ice in the coldest days of winter, so cold that Yasuke felt as if his whole body was falling into an ice cave.

While Yasuke was waiting, he had already seen the Han army's large banner that had been moved into the city at some point. In addition to the heads of Shao Yanming and Tenshu Rikio at the beginning, there were now a dozen or so heads hanging below. Although Yasuke did not recognize them, he guessed that they were definitely the legendary generals of Yamatai.

"Grand Admiral, it's all my fault. I was bewildered for a moment. Grand Admiral, please forgive me this time!"

At first, Yasuke was still hot-blooded and dared to challenge Feng Xi in the tent, but he was taken to the port by Feng Xi. After being blown by the sea breeze for half an hour, his brain had been cooled down, and the fear of death once again occupied his brain.

Although he knew Feng Xi might not let him go, Yasuke still knelt down and begged for mercy, knocking his head loudly. It was just a Japanese habit, and Yasuke was still a Japanese after all.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

This time, Feng Xi didn't let him get up, but instead softened his tone.

"I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong, Grand Commander. I shouldn't have doubted the strength of my Han people, nor should I have tried to please both sides."

After Yasuke kowtowed repeatedly, he looked at Feng Xi with tears in his eyes, full of sincerity.

"Alas. Hannu... Oh no, Yasuke, someone once said that you don't know you are wrong, you just know you are going to die."

Feng Xi leaned down and patted Yasuke on the shoulder, looking extremely intimate, but the words he said made Yasuke feel hopeless.

"Grand Commander, I..."

"In the end, it turns out that they are not of my kind, and their hearts must be different..."

This was the last sentence Yasuke heard in his entire life. Afterwards, he felt his brain pause and everything went dark before his eyes.

Feng Xi stood up and clapped his hands. His powerful wrist had just broken Yasuke's neck.

"Someone, drag the body away and cremate it together."

Feng Xi waved his hand and said that the Han soldiers would handle it. Feng Xi had given him several chances, but it was a pity that the barbarians feared his power but not his virtue, and did not cherish it at all.

Now that the Japanese island is basically pacified, Fu Rong will stay on the island with 3,000 people to first eliminate the remaining stragglers and restore normal order, while building cities and gathering population. When Feng Xi returns, he will also send some people in charge of education and government affairs to assist Fu Rong.

Although Yamatai had assembled an army of 20,000, Feng Xi saw them as nothing more than a bunch of chickens and pottery dogs. It was simple. When the 18 princes came to fight against Dong Zhuo, they had hundreds of thousands of troops. Didn't they wait in front of Hulao Pass and wait for Dong Zhuo to withdraw before entering Luoyang City? The Yamatai coalition army had only 20,000 people, but there were more than a dozen kings and dozens of state officials, which was comparable to the famous "three thousand troops divided into three thousand routes" in later generations.

It would be amazing if this kind of joint army could work with one mind and one strength.

A few days ago.

Feng Xi sent Yasuke away and asked other Japanese translators to bribe Japanese traitors and obtain intelligence. These Japanese translators received death orders, so they worked extra hard and soon learned about the situation of Yamatai summoning various countries. They calculated the total strength of each country, so the total strength of Yamatai was placed on Feng Xi's desk in just two days.

"Heh, are you planning to rely on the terrain of the Kinki area to defend step by step?"

Feng Xi smiled. The other party obviously knew that if they landed from the future Osaka Bay, it would be difficult to defend it. So Feng Xi's idea was to start from Sanuki, go directly north to Bizen, and then go straight to Kinki from Sanyo Road.

Obviously, Himiko did not expect that the Han army would "give up the distance and seek the far way", but the strait between Sanuki and Bizen was so short that it could almost be ignored. However, in just one day, the entire Han army crossed the Seto Inland Sea and arrived on Honshu Island.

"The whole army is moving out, aiming to capture Kinki."

At Feng Xi's command, the Han army immediately headed towards the Kinki area.

In the future "Warring States Period", the once notorious Oda Nobunaga was killed by the traitor Akechi Mitsuhide in Honnoji Temple in Kyoto. At that time, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was attacking Sanin and Sanyo, immediately led his army back and counterattacked the traitor Akechi Mitsuhide, which was called the "Great Return". The 200-kilometer journey took Hashiba's army five days.

The Bizen where Feng Xi landed was naturally closer than Bitchu Takamatsu Castle, the starting point of Hashiba Hideyoshi in the past, and the Han army was not the future Hashiba army. The Han army only took about three days to complete the journey of less than 200 kilometers, and this was the result of Feng Xi taking a day off.

As expected, the Yamatai coalition forces were still eyeing the sea, preparing to fight a beachhead battle with the Han army. After all, even the Japanese knew the principle of attacking the enemy halfway across the river, and they never thought that the Han army would take a detour and arrive so quickly.

By the time the Zhinengshi under Tsukuyomi discovered the movement of the Han army, it was already too late. The Han army was less than ten miles away from them and was already within the normal range of engagement.

"Lord, this is the situation, and we need to make a decision soon."

Tsukuyomi reported to Himiko in a deep voice, and Himiko rarely showed any embarrassment. Because there were many soldiers in the coalition and it was difficult to mobilize between the various units, it was like a fool's dream to hastily turn the guns to defend against the Han army attacking from the flank.

However, if they saw the Han army charging in like this, this already weak coalition would surely scatter like birds and beasts. At this moment, the Yamatai coalition was in such a dilemma.

"Lord, please allow me to lead my Yamatai troops to stop the Han people. While I am delaying, you can call on other rulers to reorganize the troops."

At the moment of crisis, a man suddenly stepped forward and came to Himiko and bowed, but what he just said seemed to be quite risky.

"There is no need to worry too much about this matter. Please consider the overall situation."

The visitor's expression remained unchanged, as if he had noticed Himiko's hesitation, and spoke again.
