The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1287 Sweeping Iyo Island

Shikoku Island is a name for later generations. In the Yayoi period, Shikoku Island was called Iyo no Nina Island, or Iyo Island for short.Inoue fled to Iyo Island. After the Han army pacified Zizhu Island, they naturally directed their attack on Iyo Island.

At this time, the Han army had sent six batches of troops to Wa, and the Han army in Wa (including Goguryeo and Buyeo) had 3000 soldiers, including 3000 cavalry and the rest were infantry.Liu Yin believed that these troops were enough to ensure that the entire Japanese country would be swept away, so he no longer sent new troops to the Japanese country. He only sent more than 5 people, which was not a burden for the entire logistics support system of the Han army. It is too heavy, not to mention that the Han army who entered the Wa country can still eat on the spot, forcing those tribes that surrendered to hand over food and grass, which can reduce the difficulty of transporting food across the sea.

For this attack on Iyo Island, Sun Xiu's fleet mobilized part of the ships to help the Han army cross the sea, and the number of troops sent was only a few thousand.

Iyo Island is mountainous and the terrain is quite complicated. The Japanese people living on the island are even more backward than Chikushi Island. There are no kingdoms here, only large and small tribes, completely in a primitive state.

When Inoue fled to Iyo Island, he did not seek the primitive tribes on the island to protect him. He knew that Iyo Island was the most natural hiding place because of its rugged mountains and dense forests. He fled to the mountains with his few subordinates. Among them, the target is small, and the Han army can't do anything to him at all.

Anyway, the time for the Han people to attack the Wa country this time will definitely not last long. It is not impossible for Inoue to make a comeback when they withdraw their troops and return to the country after the battle.

But the Han army didn't seem to intend to let him go, and sent troops across the sea to pursue him, biting him tightly.

After the Han army entered Iyo Island, the aborigines on those islands naturally became hostile. Although these primitive tribes had no national concept, they had a very strong sense of territory. They were extremely hostile to any foreign invasion. When the Han army invaded their territory, these Japanese people naturally wanted to rise up and resist.

However, they used primitive weapons to fight against the Han army, which was basically hitting a stone with an egg. Instead of being repulsed by the Han army, they themselves suffered heavy casualties.

The original tribes of these Japanese people are actually relatively small in scale. The largest tribe has only about a thousand people, and the small tribe has only a few hundred people. Su's Han army.

Therefore, at first these Japanese tribes still took the initiative to attack. After suffering many losses, they no longer dared to take the initiative to provoke the Han army. When they saw the Han army, they tried their best to hide in the mountains. Never dare to provoke the Han army again.

But even if they hid in the mountains, they still couldn’t escape the attack of the Han army. This time Yan Xun selected to attack Iyo Island, almost all of them were the Han army who were good at fighting in the mountains. Most of them were from the Wudang flying army. They climb mountains and ridges as if they are walking on flat ground. The steep mountains of Bashan and Shu are commonplace for them. No matter how rough the terrain is on an island, it can be so rugged.

Therefore, the Han army was like a nightmare for these primitive tribes. No matter where they fled, they could not escape the Wuzhi Mountain of the Han army.

In fact, regardless of the large number of mountains in Iyo Island, the area controlled by each tribe is actually limited. Once they cross the border and enter the territory of other tribes, they will be intercepted and killed by other tribes.

Those tribes under attack had no choice but to surrender to the Han army.

The Han army did not kill them all, and they were quite tolerant of tribes that were willing to surrender.

Guided by these Japanese tribes that surrendered, they continued to advance and conquered these tribes on Iyo Island one by one.

With the lessons learned from the previous tribes, the later tribes learned how to be good. When they saw that they could not be defeated, they voluntarily surrendered. Therefore, as the Han army advanced, the resistance they encountered became smaller and smaller.

It would be like finding a needle in a haystack if only a few thousand people from the Han army wanted to search for the well on such a vast Iyo Island, but with so many primitive tribes who surrendered, if they mobilized all their strength, things would change. Much simpler.

These primitive tribes knew the topography of Iyo Island like the back of their hands, and if they were responsible for tracking Inoue's trail, Inoue simply had nowhere to go.

After all, although Inoue's team is not large in number, there are at least a few hundred people. If it is true that one or two people in Inoue are hiding in the deep mountains, it is really difficult to find them out, but it is absolutely impossible to find out a target as large as hundreds of people. There are no clues.

Soon someone reported the whereabouts of the dog slave to the commander of the Han army. Hearing this, the commander of the Han army immediately mobilized the Han army and some tribesmen to block the area where the well was located, and launched a carpet-like search , Gradually narrowed the search area, and finally besieged the dog slave on a mountain near the sea.

Inoue vomited blood depressingly. He fled to Iyo Island just to take refuge. He originally thought that with the complex mountainous terrain on Iyo Island, the Han army might not be able to find him even if they mobilized tens of thousands of horses.

But I didn't expect that after the Han army came to the island, they didn't come directly to search for him. Instead, these tribes on the island attacked one by one, subdued them one by one, made these tribes surrender to them, and then used the power of these tribes to attack him on Iyo Island. Launching a big search like a net, Inoue fled back and forth, but in the end he couldn't escape the search net of the Han army. Trapped in a high mountain near the sea, Inoue was completely desperate.

Inoue probably regrets his guts now, you said he is fine, why would he provoke the Han people, they went to fight Yamatai, let them fight well, he actually listened to the benefits promised by Tai and the queen, and went to attack the Han people Jun, isn't this the birthday guy hanged himself-he thinks his life is too long.

As a result, Inoue recruited a lingering and powerful enemy to the Gonu Kingdom. Not to mention the Gonu Kingdom was wiped out, even when he hid on Iyo Island, the Han army did not let him go, and they kept chasing him. Finally drove him to a corner.

Inoue was forced to have no choice but to order people to go down the mountain to beg for surrender from the Han army.

Unexpectedly, the Han army's answer was very strong, and everyone in the Gonu Kingdom could be pardoned, but Inoue was not pardoned.

Hearing this, Inoue wanted to cry but had no tears. This was the result of his own planting. If the Han army did not forgive him, he had no other way out and could only commit seppuku in the end.

The Han army kept their promises, since Inoue was dead, the rest of the Gonu people did not kill them anymore, but escorted them back to the Gonu country.
