Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 473 467. General vs. General

The person who spoke was none other than the "God of War" of Yamatai, Jian Yulei.

Takemikaze's reputation was not only known to people in Honshu, but also to some people in Kyushu. He once personally led more than a hundred samurai and less than a thousand foot soldiers to defeat the three countries that had united to invade Yamatai, and was therefore honored as a military god.

"Okay, you must be careful. Since the Han army can launch a surprise attack, their combat power must be extraordinary."

Himiko nodded and agreed to Takemikaze's plan. If no one delays the time, I'm afraid everyone will be finished.

"I would like to go with Lord Jian Yulei!"

Susanoo on the side stepped forward and volunteered with high morale.

"Susano, stop messing around! Han people are different from other countries. What will happen if something goes wrong?"

Himiko didn't even think twice and immediately started to scold. This Susano was not just anyone else, but Himiko's brother, so Himiko naturally didn't want anything to happen to Susano.

"Don't worry, my lord. How can Lord Jian Yulei defeat so many Han people alone? I can go there to help. Besides, my martial arts are well known to you. It is difficult for ordinary enemies to stop me."

Susano was very proud when he said this. Although Susano was Himiko's younger brother, he also made a great name for himself with his own abilities.

When he traveled to Izumo Province in his early years, he heard that there was a huge snake that was causing trouble for the people and could even eat people alive. Susano asked the locals to find a pheasant, fill its stomach with a lot of wine, and place it where the snake was.

After two days of waiting, the snake finally showed up and swallowed the delicious dead chicken in one gulp. Susano followed its trail to its lair, cut off the snake's head while it was drunk, and brought it back to the village as a hero.

The village chief also married his daughter, Princess Inada, to Susano. Of course, this story was later turned into a story about Susano killing an eight-headed snake named Yamata no Orochi under the instigation of some people, so I won't go into details.

Himiko also knew that although Susanoo looked powerful, his martial arts were indeed unmatched in the entire Japanese island. To put it bluntly, even if Susanoo could not win, he should not have any pressure to run away.

After weighing the pros and cons, Himiko finally agreed, making Susanoo so happy that he jumped up and down like a child.

"Grand Commander, the other side reacted very quickly, and someone has already blocked our way."

On Feng Xi's side, Jian Yulei's troop movements could naturally not be concealed from them, and the two sides were already on the verge of a war.

"Attack, cut through them. Take no prisoners."

Feng Xi gave the order indifferently, and the coldness in his words made Fu Rong beside him involuntarily clench the two guns in his hands.

Feng Xi rarely gave orders like not to take prisoners. Usually, those who dropped their weapons and crouched down with their heads in their hands would not be killed. There were only two possibilities for Feng Xi to issue such an order. One was that Feng Xi hated him to the core, and the other was that the situation was urgent. However, Feng Xi did not bring any translators with him now, so even if he wanted to persuade them to surrender, he could not do so.

The Han army did not stop, and rushed straight towards Jian Yulei's 3,000 troops like a white wave.

The Han army first fired a wave of arrows at Jian Yulei's formation, immediately knocking the already panicked Yamatai army to the ground. Fortunately, the Yamatai's main force was trained by Jian Yulei himself, and was different from ordinary foot soldiers. At least they were not broken apart by a wave of arrows.

The soldiers of the Han army would naturally not lose themselves just because they beat up the weaklings of other countries. Generals such as Feng Xi and Fu Rong reminded them all the time that their enemies were the Wei army, the nomadic peoples, and those unknown powerful enemies.

Therefore, the Han army's arrogance and pride, which had just risen up after defeating the weak rulers of Kyushu, Shikoku and other places, was immediately extinguished by Feng Xi's several buckets of cold water.

A lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Feng Xi naturally understood this truth. After all, the other party was the one who would unify the Japanese island in the future and shape himself into a god. It was unreasonable for his subordinates to be incompetent.

Someone in the future once said that we should despise the enemy strategically, but take him seriously tactically. Although Feng Xi had previously regarded Yamatai and other places as only stumbling blocks to the unification of the Japanese island, now that he has encountered them with real guns and swords, he must not be so careless.

The tactics of the Han army at this time were still simple crossbows to suppress the enemy from a distance, and the infantry rushed forward to harvest. After all, the enemy army was not a highly combat-capable force. Feng Xi meant to let the Han soldiers fight more and not forget their bloody courage.

"Follow me! Defeat these Han people who have invaded us!"

Jian Yulei was not willing to be outdone. Although several hundred of his foot soldiers were shot down by the Han army, it did not affect his decisiveness at all. Jian Yulei set an example by personally rushing to the front, with the spear in his hand flying, and even deflected several stray arrows, which boosted the morale of the Yamatai army for a while.

This is the role of brave generals in the era of cold weapons. The general is the courage of the soldiers. If the commander-in-chief shrinks first, even the most powerful army will inevitably be defeated.

"His martial arts are not bad. For a small island like Japan to have a second-rate general, it is already considered a gifted person."

Feng Xi took a quick glance and saw that Jian Yulei was only of the upper-middle second-rate level, and could indeed be regarded as a god-like figure in the small Japanese island. Not to mention Jian Yulei, even General Xing Daorong of Lingling back then would probably be a real god of war if he came here.

"Old Fu, I'll leave this person to you."

Feng Xi pointed at Jian Yulei who was leading the charge. He was not too concerned about this, because Jian Yulei was brave, but he had no systematic martial arts after all, so it was difficult for him to go any higher. Fu Rong and Zhang Nan had improved their martial arts after Feng Xi's teaching and practice over the years, and had already reached the first-class level. Now Fu Rong's level was no less than Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, who had family martial arts and were gifted second-generation generals.

"Okay, Xiu Yuan, be careful. Brothers, follow me and see what level this Japanese military god is at!"

The Han army naturally knew Jian Yulei's title of military god. Fu Rong and other generals were naturally indignant. What level are you, Japanese island, to dare to call yourself a military god? Now that there is a chance to fight him head-on, Fu Rong naturally wants it. He waved his double guns and led the vanguard of 3,000 soldiers to press forward.

"That man is definitely a great general."

Jian Yulei only saw Fu Zhuo, and his warrior's intuition told him that the man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person. Jian Yulei suddenly felt like fighting.

The two armies were not far apart, and they immediately collided with each other, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. In an instant, swords flashed, blood flowed all over the ground, what a colorful and enchanting world.
