Chapter 2354: Zhao Zilong VS Yamata no Orochi
"Where has Yamata no Orochi escaped to now?"
Zhou Yu asked seriously, his eyes full of fear.
"Now Yamata no Orochi has fled into Chikugo Kingdom and is continuing to flee in the direction of Chikuzen Kingdom. The three generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong are pursuing him with all their strength, but no trace of him has been found yet."
"Not enough. There are many roads leading to Chizen Country. General Dianwei and others may not be able to catch up. Even if they catch up, they may not be able to leave Yamata no Orochi behind."
At this point, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said with murderous intent: "Just in case, let the two generals Lu Bu and Zhao Yun go with them. Even if they chase to the Wei State, Baqi must be captured." The big snake kills.”
"promise."
Zhou Yu mobilized such a luxurious lineup to deal with Yamata no Orochi alone, not entirely to avenge Sun Ce, but more to nip this threat in the bud.
Since Zhou Yu led the army to conquer Japan, apart from a few elites, most of the opponents he encountered along the way were rotten fish and shrimps. Therefore, he naturally thought that the Japanese country, with its small country and few people, could not cultivate anything at all. Master.
But what Zhou Yu didn't expect was that Kyushu, where even the divine generals had phoenix feathers and horns, would actually have the war god Yamata no Orochi.
A whale was raised in the small pond. This is simply unreasonable!
The fact that Yamata no Orochi was able to defeat many famous generals such as Sun Ce and Yue Yun in a row, and that he escaped alone from Southern Kyushu to Northern Kyushu under the pursuit of thousands of troops, is enough to prove his strength.
Even today's Qin army, probably only Lu Bu and Zhao Yun can defeat Yamata no Orochi one-on-one, let alone the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.
A warrior of this level deserves to be taken seriously by Zhou Yu.
After receiving Zhou Yu's order, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were a little surprised. They were just alone. Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong were all gone. Is it necessary for them to also take action?
But after learning about Yamata no Orochi's record, both of them understood why Zhou Yu would go to war. This person was indeed qualified for them to take action.
"It's been almost a month since I came to Japan, and I haven't met anyone who can fight. Now one finally appears. Zilong, you can't snatch it from me." Lu Bu said to Zhao Yun.
After unexpectedly discovering that Xiang Yu, his old rival, was still alive and had reached a higher level, Lu Bu was not satisfied with the progress of his cultivation.
Although his strength has been rising steadily over the years, it has been too steady and there has been no qualitative leap. The reason for this is that Lu Bu has lost the goal of catching up.
Although Li Cunxiao and Sun Lingming were both stronger than Lu Bu, Lu Bu had no intention of competing with them. In his mind, Xiang Yu was the only one he wanted to catch up with.
Lu Bu saw Xiang Yu fall off the cliff with his own eyes and believed that he was dead. After losing the goal he was striving to pursue, his training in martial arts naturally slowed down.
But now it was discovered that Xiang Yu was still alive, which made Lu Bu's cooled blood start to burn again.
He also wanted to fight Xiang Yu, but with his current strength, there was no way he could be Xiang Yu's opponent, so he decided to work hard to become stronger.
For generals like Lu Bu, the best way to become stronger is to fight against masters, so he set his sights on Yamata no Orochi.
Although Zhao Yun also wanted to fight Yamata no Orochi, he obviously would not fight with Lu Bu because of his gentle nature, so he smiled and said: "Okay, Fengxian, if you meet this person, Yun will never interfere."
"Okay, it's settled." Lu Bu said with a smile.
After Lu Bu and Zhao Yun packed their bags, they set off from Hizen Kingdom alone.
Red Rabbit Horse and Yezhao Jade Lion are both famous horses that travel thousands of miles. Their location is not far from Chikugo Kingdom, and it only took a few hours to arrive at Chikugo Kingdom.
At this time, the Chikugo Kingdom had entered into a total blockade. Soldiers were guarding all the major roads, and a portrait of the Yamata-no-Orochi was posted, showing that they would not stop until they killed it.
"Have you found any traces of Yamata no Orochi?" Lu Bu asked.
Yu Jin scratched his head and answered truthfully: "This person's anti-tracking ability is very strong, and he did not leave any clues except the initial traces.
However, now that the entire Chikugo Country is blocked, as long as he is still in Chikugo Country, he will never be able to escape the hunt of our army. "
"That's good."
Lu Bu nodded, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became more and more intense.
Yamata no Orochi, I hope you can please me.
"Report... General Qi, traces of Yamata no Orochi were found in Shifukuji Castle."
"Okay, I'll rush over right now."
After Lu Bu roared, he rode away with his halberd, and in the blink of an eye he was gone.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this, but soon discovered something was wrong.
If Yamata-no-Orochi appears in Seifukuji Castle, it will definitely take the direction of Tosu Castle and then enter Chikuzen Province.
But this is the only way to pass through the Chikuzen Kingdom. The Qin army has already set up a net here to wait. Will Yamata no Orochi be stupid enough to take the initiative to send it to his door?
Zhao Yun felt that this possibility was very small, and he also had a strong feeling.
The reason why Yamata no Orochi was exposed in Seifukuji Castle may have been intentional, in order to mislead those who were chasing him, thinking that he would take the route from Fukudera Castle to Tosu Castle and enter Chikuzen Province, but in fact But he took other ways to escape.
Zhou Yu has actually analyzed the final destination of Yamata no Orochi's escape, and it must be the Tsushima Strait of Bunzen Province.
Now that Kyushu Island is basically in the hands of the allied forces conquering Japan, Yamata no Orochi has offended the Qin, Song and Wu Kingdoms again. If it still stays in Kyushu, it will die sooner or later.
But it is not easy for him to leave Kyushu. After all, except for the Japanese allied forces, there are no ships anywhere else in Kyushu.
Even if Yamata no Orochi could snatch the ship, he couldn't drive it away by himself. Moreover, he didn't know where the Japanese navy was located.
Therefore, for Yamata no Orochi, the only way to leave Kyushu is to swim directly to Honshu or Shikoku.
It was too far to swim from Kyushu to Shikoku. With Yamata no Orochi's physical strength, even though he could swim there, he might be overtaken by the enemy's navy midway.
Therefore, it is relatively safer to swim to Honshu, and the closest place in Kyushu to Honshu is naturally the Tsushima Strait.
At first, after the defeat of Motoharu Mouri, his first reaction was to flee to Tsushima Strait, and what he reported was the idea of swimming back to Honshu. Unfortunately, he was caught due to Zhao Yun's prediction.
Yamata no Orochi did not know that Zhao Yun captured Motoharu Motori in the Tsushima Strait, and the way he escaped from Kyushu was to swim back to Honshu Island from the Tsushima Strait.
In this regard, I can only say that smart people even think the same thing.
"The only way to Bungo Country is Chikuzen Country. From Seifukuji Castle to Akizuki Castle, and then Hikuma Castle to enter Bungo Country, you can also take a detour to Bungo Country."
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun already made a decision in his mind, and he decided to go to Hikuma Castle to try his luck.
Although he had no intention of competing with Lu Bu, and he was not sure of his guess, but if he guessed correctly, with him on the front line of Hikuma Castle, at least he would not let go of the hidden danger of Yamata no Orochi.
"shelf."
With this thought, Zhao Yun decisively rode away and went to Hikuma Castle to guard the Yamata-no-Orochi.
Yamata no Orochi, who was being hunted by the Qin, Song and Wu kingdoms, was on his way to Hikuma Castle.
Zhao Yun's guess was absolutely correct. The traces of Shifukuji Castle were indeed deliberately exposed by Yamata no Orochi in order to mislead those who were chasing him.
Not only is Yamata no Orochi not stupid, but he is also very smart. Knowing that there is a trap in the direction of Chikuzen, he will naturally not take the initiative to send it to his door.
But he was not the only smart person, and Zhao Yun saw through his intentions.
On the path passing through Hikuma Castle, a somewhat embarrassed Yamata no Orochi cursed angrily with a look of resentment: "Sun Ce, you dishonest guy, and these two villains Zhao Guangyi and Zhou Yu, you all deserve to die."
Yamata no Orochi felt that he was very unlucky. In order to escape the pursuit of the Oda family, he fled to Kyushu and lived in seclusion. He has been very honest these years and has not come out to cause trouble.
You know, Yamata no Orochi used to be a murderous butcher, and countless people died at his hands. Now that he is so honest, his enemies should burn high incense.
But he escaped from the Oda family, but he still did not escape the Japanese-conquering coalition.
After Sun Ce set his sights on the city where he lived in seclusion, he destroyed the city and launched a massacre.
To be honest, Yamata no Orochi doesn't care about Bai Xin's life and death. Even if Sun Ce kills all the people in Kyushu, he will not frown at all.
But in the face of Wu Jun's butcher knife, Yamata no Orochi couldn't wait to be killed, so he resisted and after killing many people, Sun Ce was lured out.
Yamata no Orochi can speak Chinese, and he made an agreement with Sun Ce before the fight began. If he wins, he will naturally surrender to Wu. After all, nothing is more important to him than his own life.
Yamata no Orochi thought he would easily defeat Sun Ce. After all, in his opinion, Sun Ce was still too young. However, he did not expect that Sun Ce's combat power was so strong that even he would find it difficult, but he was still no match for him.
But what Yamata no Orochi didn't expect was that after he defeated Sun Ce, Wu Jun did not abide by the agreement and let him go.
Sun Ce was originally prepared to abide by the agreement, but the Yamata no Orochi struck too hard, injuring Sun Ce and even almost killing him, so the Wu generals naturally gave up.
Yamata no Orochi felt that he had been merciful and spared Sun Ce's life, but Sun Ce broke the contract and was naturally furious, so he stopped holding back and killed Sun Hao and Sun Yi in the process of forcibly breaking through.
Sun Hao is the eldest son of Sun Jing, and Sun Yi is the third son of Sun Jian. They are both members of the Wu clan.
Yamata no Orochi killed them and formed a blood feud with the Sun family. Naturally, Sun Ce could not let him go.
Yamata no Orochi didn't care about this. The worst he could do was to flee. But when he fled to the Song Dynasty, he was hunted down by the Song and Wu countries.
Especially the insidious Zhao Guangyi, who on the surface wanted to surrender to him, but secretly colluded with Wu State, and must have wanted to deceive and murder him in order to please Sun Ce.
Yamata no Orochi thought he had seen through Zhao Guangyi's intentions, but he didn't know that Zhao Guangyi really wanted to recruit him. At worst, he would hide him after recruiting him, and then change his identity, so Wu Guo would have nothing to do with him.
However, Yamata no Orochi pretended to surrender, killed more than a dozen generals of the Song State, and then forced his way out, completely offending the Song State.
After escaping from the territory of the Song Kingdom, Yamata no Orochi entered the Higo Kingdom. He asked himself that he had never offended the Qin State, and he never wanted to offend the Qin State, but he was still pursued by the Qin State.
Qin had more masters than Song and Wu combined, so Yamata no Orochi had a harder time escaping.
When being chased by Song and Wu, Yamata-no-Orochi was not injured despite his great physical exertion. However, he was injured in the first battle after entering Higo Kingdom. His opponents were Xue Dingshan and Yue Yun.
These two young men, one with a halberd and the other with a hammer, are not weak in strength, but they are still too young in the eyes of Yamata no Orochi.
Although Yamata no Orochi is sure to defeat him, he is now wanted by the Qin army. If he delays for too long and is surrounded by the Qin army, it will be bad.
In the end, Yamata-no-Orochi defeated and injured Xue Dingshan, who was at the peak of the god general, and Yue Yun, who was at the god of war level, in just thirty rounds at the cost of minor injuries.
You know, Yamata no Orochi defeated Sun Ce, but it took him sixty rounds.
Yamata no Orochi's movements were not unpleasant, but he was still a step too slow. After he defeated Yue Yun, the Liangshan Five Tigers had already arrived.
In order to prevent being trapped by the Qin army, Yamata no Orochi forced his way out after paying a certain price, but the injuries were superimposed and had affected his condition.
This also made Yamata no Orochi realize that the Qin Dynasty was far from comparable to the Song and Wu countries. If you wanted to escape, you couldn't just rely on force, you also had to outwit it, so there were plans to build plank roads in secret to escape Chencang.
"I, Yamata Torochi, have not been bullied to this extent since I left the army. Just wait, I will come back with revenge sooner or later."
Yamata no Orochi said to himself coldly, his eyes full of hatred, but it was soon replaced by solemnity.
He saw a warrior with a white horse and a silver spear at the end of the road. It was obvious that he came with bad intentions.
After Zhao Yun saw Yamata-no-Orochi really choosing to take this path, he couldn't help but sigh: "Fengxian, it's not that Yun wants to snatch it from you, it's just that I met you but you didn't."
Zhao Yun jumped off the horse, pointed the spear in his hand at the opponent, and said calmly: "Yama-no-Orochi, come and die."
[Ding dong, Zhao Yun’s skill ‘Reverse Scale’ activates force +5, basic force is 106 (+6), Gentian Bright Silver Spear +1, current force has increased to 113; ]
Looking at the murderous Zhao Yun, the expression on Yamata no Orochi's face was distorted, and he roared: "It's too much to bully others, Nisunai."
[Ding dong, Yamata no Orochi's skill 'Stick God' is activated, and his force is +4.
Yamata no Orochi (Yamata Torochi), commander 88, force 107, intelligence 77, politics 50, charisma 67;
The current strength of Yamata no Orochi has increased to 111;]
Yamata no Orochi has been injured and his combat power has seriously declined. In addition, he has no magic weapon or famous horse, so naturally he cannot be the opponent of Zhao Yun in full condition.
In the twenty-third round of the battle, Zhao Yun discovered a flaw. After a single shot, Yamata no Orochi had a bloodstain on his body, and then the scars on his body continued to accumulate, becoming more and more numerous.
Yamata no Orochi also realized that if he continued to fight like this, he would be killed by Zhao Yun sooner or later, so after repelling Zhao Yun with all his strength, he decisively chose to run away.
Naturally, Zhao Yun would not let him escape, so he followed closely and pursued him at full speed, and this pursuit led him into Bungo Kingdom.
