The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 900 Obstructed Tokushima Volcano (Part [-])
"The general is not good. The warships of the Tang army have cut off the waters between Shikoku Island and Honshu Island."

"And sank all the warships we parked in the harbor." A Japanese general came to the general Ozawa Sora and said.

"What if the warship is sunk, what if the retreat is cut off. This general has no plans to return to the island at all."

"Only by letting the Tang army see the spirit of fearing life and death among our Japanese soldiers will let them know that our Japanese country is not a weak nation."

"At that time, even if His Majesty the Emperor negotiates with Tang Jun, he will have a certain bargaining chip. Our death will be the right place." Sora Ozawa said.

"General, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend Tokushima City at all. After all, the Tang Jun's mysterious weapon is too powerful." A lieutenant general said to Sora Ozawa.

"So we can't stay in Tokushima City. General Ben has already sent people to investigate. Fifty miles outside Tokushima City is the Tokushima Volcano."

"This volcano has always been active and erupts every year. So we set up an ambush under the Tokushima volcano this time."

"If we can't stop Tang Jun's pace, then use the souls of the soldiers to sacrifice Tokushima Volcano, and let the flames from the volcano swallow Tang Jun." Sora Ozawa said.

"The subordinates are willing to follow the lead of the general, willing to sacrifice their souls for our Japanese country and His Majesty the Emperor, so as to stop the pace of the Tang army." All the generals in the full camp knelt down in front of Ozawa Sora and said.

(There should have been no volcanoes in Shikoku Island. For the needs of the plot, Dragon Soul put a volcano in Shikoku Island. I hope you don’t like it or spray it.)
……

When Xue Dingshan led a [-] vanguard army and came ten miles away from Tokushima City.Then I received a report that Tokushima City was empty.

At first Xue Dingshan thought it was an empty city plan by the Japanese, but he soon received the news.That means that the Japanese army has withdrawn towards the island.

"Uncle Luo, it seems that the Japanese army is preparing to flee back to the island. But they may not know that the harbor has been occupied by Wu Yuanzhong."

"Even if they retreat now, it will definitely be a dead end. It's just that Wu Yuanzhong is cheaper." Xue Dingshan said to Luo Huan with a smile.

"Ding Shan, no matter what, we must not let this credit fall into the hands of the navy, otherwise we will lose face." Zhou Qing said to Xue Dingshan.

"Since that's the case, let's speed up the march with the whole army. We must catch up with the Japanese troops. We will destroy them before they reach the harbor." Xue Dingshan nodded and said.

So Xue Dingshan and Luo Huan led the vanguard and did not stop at Tokushima City.Instead, he directly led his troops to chase in the direction where Sora Ozawa was escaping.

This pursuit lasted for half a day, but the Japanese army in front disappeared.This made Xue Dingshan feel puzzled.

"Uncle Luo, could it be that this little devil from the Japanese country can disappear out of thin air? Why did he suddenly disappear without a trace?" Xue Dingshan asked Luo Huan.

"I'm afraid all of this is the plan of the little devils from the Japanese country to lure us here." Luo Huan pointed forward with his hand and said to Xue Dingshan.

Looking in the direction of Luo Huan's finger, Xue Dingshan saw a towering mountain.Black smoke billowed from the mountain peak.

"This should be the Tokushima volcano, right? It is said that the villagers here sacrifice beautiful women to the volcano every year in order to ask the god of the volcano to protect them." Xue Dingshan said to Luo Huan.

At this moment, Zhou Qing, who was in charge of leading the troops to explore the way, came back and said to the two of them, "There seems to be an ambush ahead."

"Could it be that this Japanese man doesn't know how to have a long memory, and he knows that he is not our opponent, so why did he come to die." Xue Xiantu said.

"The emperor once said that although the Wa country is a despicable nation, there is a spirit in the Wa country, which is called Bushido."

"That's a belief that sacrifices one's own beliefs in order to achieve the goal. It is also the only thing the emperor thinks that the people of the Wa country deserve praise." Luo Huan said to Xue Xiantu.

"Several uncles, no matter what his little devil has, since he dared to come out to die. Why should we be stingy with our little son?" Xue Dingshan said with a smile.

Luo Huan waved his hands and said, "I'm afraid things are not that simple. This is Tokushima Volcano. This Tokushima Volcano may erupt at any moment."

"If we use the red-clothed cannon, the vibrations generated are likely to trigger a volcanic eruption. At that time, let alone the Japanese army, I am afraid that even we will not be spared."

"I'm afraid this is also the reason why the Japanese army chose to set up an ambush here. It is to use the flames from the eruption of the Tokushima volcano to die with our army when they lose to our army."

Hearing Luo Huan's words, everyone couldn't help being surprised.When occupying Kyushu Island, they were ordered by Li Tai.Exploding the crater with explosives caused the volcano on Kyushu Island to erupt.

So they have witnessed the power of volcanic eruptions.Even thinking about it now, everyone will never forget the scene at that time.

"If it's true as General Luo Huan said, once the volcano erupts, then our [-] vanguard army will really be buried with the Japanese devils." Zhou Qing said in surprise.

For a while, Xue Dingshan really had no choice, after all Xue Dingshan really didn't dare to take this risk.Otherwise, the [-] pioneers might really be buried here.

After observing the mountain situation, Luo Huan said to Xue Dingshan: "It seems that now we can only send troops to bypass the Japanese army and seize the crater. In case the Japanese army makes the volcano erupt."

"At the same time, we cannot use the red-clothed cannon in this battle, otherwise the power of the red-clothed cannon may also trigger a volcanic eruption."

"If it's as Uncle Luo said, I'm afraid the Japanese army will have heavy troops stationed in the crater. So this crater is not so easy to seize."

"They even found out that our army seized the crater and might detonate the volcano directly. At that time, they were really passive." Xue Dingshan said after thinking about it.

"Damn you little devil from the Japanese country, you are really despicable, and you are planning to die with us." Xue Xiantu cursed angrily.

"You wait here first, let me take the armor-piercing army up to have a look. As long as I seize the crater, I will send you a signal." Luo Huan said to Xue Dingshan after thinking about it.

Now that there is no other way, Xue Dingshan can only nod his head.He also told Luo Huan to be careful, and to withdraw quickly if nothing could be done.

After Luo Huan nodded, he said to the armor-breaking army behind him: "Brothers, bring the guy we eat and seize the crater with me."

Following Luo Huan's order, the entire armor-breaking army was dispatched.Run towards the direction of the crater.

Watching Luo Huan leave with the Armor Breaking Army, Zhou Qing said to Xue Dingshan: "Ding Shan, have you noticed that the Armor Breaking Army's weapons are a bit different from ours?"

"The armor-breaking army is one of the emperor's imperial guards. Of course, the weapons are the most advanced. How can the muskets in our hands be comparable?" Xue Dingshan said.

However, Xue Dingshan also very much hoped that one day the troops he led would also be able to replace the weapons in the hands of the armor-piercing army.
