Chapter 2363: God of War’s melee, Lu Bu fights Susan
"Sir, there is a large amount of wealth, gold and silver buried under the ruins of the Shinto Palace. Do you want to dig it out?" Zhenrihui reported.
"No."
Dugu Qiubei shook his head and said: "The Shinto Palace is too big, and if we want to dig out what is buried underneath, we alone are not enough.
Just leave these treasures here for now. As long as they are still in Japan, they cannot escape. Sooner or later they will belong to me, Da Qin. "
"promise."
Afterwards, Dugu Qiubai ordered the captives to return. These captives, including the two great masters, were their greatest wealth during their trip.
Before leaving, Dugu Qiubei glanced at the ruins of the Taoist Palace. He could already imagine the news that the Shinto Palace had become ruins after today, and the reaction of the Japanese countries after learning about it, would definitely be a collective excitement.
Taiyi did not return with Dugu Qiubai. After he learned about the Yin Yang family's collection of classics from Abe Seimei, he rushed there immediately. Dugu Qiubei didn't know where he was.
At the same time, Uesugi Kenshin was extremely anxious about the battle situation in Kasugayama Castle. Even with the help of Susanoo and others, the situation still could not improve much.
Kasugayama Castle in South Vietnam's Echigo Kingdom is not only the Uesugi family's first stronghold, but also the last city in Echigo Kingdom.
In fact, before Uesugi Kenshin could return for reinforcements, Kasugayama Castle was defeated by Qin Yujin, but instead of breaking through, he surrendered on his own initiative.
Yu Jin also knew that Kasugayama City was difficult to fight, and since the defender took the initiative to open the city and surrender, the Qin army did not have to make more sacrifices, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Yu Jin did a stupid thing after entering the city. In order to win over and appease the surrendered army, he ordered the surrendered general to continue to guard Kasuga Mountain City, but he overestimated the surrendered general's control over the army.
Soon after Uesugi Kenshin returned to the rescue, the soldiers in Kasugayama Castle spontaneously overcame their superiors. Not only did they launch a riot and kill the surrendering generals, but they also opened the city to welcome Uesugi Kenshin. Kasugayama Castle also returned to the embrace of the Uesugi family.
Kasugayama Castle is built on the mountain. It is not only easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it is also the only way for the Qin army to go south to cross China. If this city is not captured, the Qin army will have no way to go south with peace of mind.
After Zhou Yu learned the news, he decisively led his army and prepared to personally capture this first fortified city of Uesugi.
The attack and defense of Kasuga Mountain Castle is about to begin.
After Uesugi Kenshin received the news, although he did not personally enter Kasugayama Castle, he ordered Kakizaki Keie, one of the Four Uesugi Kings, to guard Kasugayama Castle.
The Four Uesugi Kings are: Kakizaki Keiie, Naoe Keizuna, Usami Sadamitsu, and Amakasu Keagemochi;
The four of them are the most trusted confidants of Kenshin Uesugi. Kakizaki Keie is the only general among the four who is both wise and brave, and is good at defense. With him guarding Kasugayama Castle, it is not much different if Kenshin Uesugi comes in person.
In addition to appointing Kakizaki Keie as the garrison, Uesugi Kenshin also transferred many generals such as the Kenshin Seven Hands Group and the Uesugi Ichimen to Kasugayama Castle, and increased the number of garrison troops to 40,000. The Qin army vowed to fight to the death to block the city.
But as soon as the offensive and defensive battle of Kasugayama Castle began, the intensity of the battle exceeded Uesugi Kenshin's imagination.
The Qin army's advance was too fierce, and the casualties were completely inadequate. They suffered nearly 5,000 casualties in just three days, but they still did not slow down their offensive.
Of course, the army responsible for the siege could not be Han Chinese, but Japanese surrender troops.
The Qin army was originally small in number, so Zhou Yu was naturally reluctant to let the Qin soldiers be wasted in siege battles, but if Japan surrendered, he would have no taboos.
What I have to say is that the Japanese also have the bad nature of most ethnic groups, that is, they are cruel to foreigners and even more cruel to their own people.
After Zhou Yu's series of coaxing tactics, the surrendered troops realized that they could no longer turn back, so they completely turned to Da Qin and pointed the butcher's knife at their own compatriots without showing any mercy.
Under the command of Zhou Yu, the Qin army was responsible for controlling catapults, siege crossbows, and wells, while the Japanese surrender troops carried ladders and were responsible for climbing the city. After three days of desperate attacks, even Kasuga Mountain City began to become crumbling.
Just when Kasugayama Castle was about to fall, Susano'o led 10,000 reinforcements and arrived in time, repelled Mihou who invaded the city, and saved Kasugayama Castle in danger.
With the arrival of Susano'o, the situation in Echigo Kingdom has undergone great changes.
In the past, when facing the Qin army, the Uesugi family only dared to defend passively and did not dare to take the initiative to fight. However, after Susano'o came, they dared to take the initiative to challenge, and even won the first victory after the war between Qin and Japan.
At that station, Susanoo's 800 elite troops faced off against a 2,000-strong army led by Mi Houwang, including 100 Qin soldiers and the remaining 1,900 surrendered troops.
The battle between Susano'o and Mi Houwang lasted for ninety-six rounds. In the end, Mi Houwang was defeated and only less than 200 of the two thousand troops escaped.
If Huang Zhong hadn't arrived in time and rescued Mi Houwang, he might have been the first war-god-level warrior in the Qin Dynasty to die in Japan.
Huang Zhong's superb archery skills made Susano'o feel a great threat. In addition, defeating Mi Houwang was very tiring for him, so after twenty rounds of fighting with Huang Zhong, he gave up and withdrew his troops. Back.
The Japanese army has been suppressed by the Qin army, and the whole army is extremely frustrated. Now Susanoo has finally won a battle. Even though most of the Japanese surrendered, it is still a proud victory for the Uesugi family. .
Under Kakizaki Keie's publicity, the morale of the Uesugi army began to gradually recover, and their determination to persevere became stronger.
At the same time, God of War level warriors also appeared in the armies of Takeda Genshin on the North Road and Date Masamune on the East Road to help.
Himiko was well aware of the threat of Great Qin. She ordered Susano'o to bring two male guardian gods to support the Uesugi family. Naturally, she would not turn a blind eye to Takeda and Date.
The five major protective male gods of Shintoism were actually sent by Himiko to deal with the Qin army, and the people sent to Takeda and Date were the mountain gods Oyama Tsumi and the wind god Shina Tohiko.
Shinato Hiko is responsible for helping Date Masamune, and Oyama Tsumi is responsible for helping Takeda Xuanxin, and Takeda Shingen has another war god under his command, and he is Otakemaru Ajirui.
After Akira had been living in seclusion in Hokkaido to avoid being hunted by Shintoists, Takeda Shingen was forced to retreat to the northeastern part of Honshu. After learning the news about Akira, he had been secretly befriending him, and Akira also had a crush on Takeda. Shingen admires him a lot.
After the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Tsushima, Takeda Shingen also realized that Honshu would become a battlefield sooner or later, so he personally went to invite Abe Ryu to come out to help, and received Asa Ryu's full support.
In other words, not only did the two Japanese armies in the north and east have war gods, but Takeda Shingen's northern army also had two war gods.
Wu Qi, who was responsible for resisting Takeda Shingen, had only Dian Wei, the god of war, in the army, and he had only just broken through, so it was naturally impossible to stop the two gods of war.
Dian Wei fought against Oyama Tsumi and Aji Liuwei by himself, relying on his flying halberd skills to barely compete with them, but losing was only a matter of time.
After thirty rounds of fighting, Dian Wei ran out of flying halberds and immediately fell into a disadvantage. However, for the sake of the army behind him, he not only did not retreat, but fought to the death.
Dian Wei did not take the initiative to escape, which was naturally what he and Oyamajin wanted. In order to prevent Dian Wei from counterattacking at the end of his life, the two of them also played very cautiously, and it took them another thirty rounds to shoot down his horse.
Dian Wei relied on his own strength to fight two war gods of the same level for sixty rounds. He exhausted all his energy before he was defeated and captured. However, he also bought enough time for Wu Qi.
Shortly after Dian Wei was captured alive, Zhao Yun arrived with hundreds of cavalry and single-handedly helped Wu Qi block Dashan Jinjian and Axi Liuwei.
Wu Qi also took this opportunity to use fire attack tactics to defeat Takeda Shingen, killed nearly 10,000 Japanese troops, and rescued the captured Dian Wei.
As for Zhao Yun's battle with Oyama Tsumi and Ajiu, since the two of them had been consumed a lot of energy by Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun was not an ordinary god of war, it ended with Zhao Yun's victory.
Although Zhao Yun won the battle with one against two, the opponent had two gods of war after all. With the combined strength of the two, Zhao Yun could not kill him.
However, Dian Wei has been rescued, and his injuries are not too serious. After recovering, Wu Qi will also have two prosperous war gods under his command. If they face Takeda Shingen, they can easily defeat them.
The situation on Wu Qi's side is very good, and the situation on Wang Jian's side is not bad either.
Although Wang Jian only had Xu Chu, the god of war, his opponent Date Masamune's ability to command troops was much worse than Takeda Shingen, let alone compared to Wang Jian.
Although Wang Jian only had an army of 5,000 in his hands, he could rely on the advantage of the terrain and use mobile warfare to defeat Date Masamune's 40,000 troops. Therefore, he was the easiest army in this group.
As for Xu Chu and Zhinatu Bigu, they fought twice, but external forces intervened each time, so the winner has not yet been determined.
After talking to Zhou Yu, Yu Rongwang was defeated by Susanoo, which caused a slight setback in the Qin army's offensive, but the overall impact was not great.
Susano'o wanted to continue to enhance his morale, so he decided to accept the challenge of Qin general Huang Zhong, but he was also afraid of Huang Zhong's reputation. After all, this was a fierce general who had fought against the overlord, so he did not appear in person, but asked Jia Gu Tu went to test Huang Zhong's depth.
Huang Zhong guessed Susano'o's intention, so he wanted to preserve his strength in the battle with Kagutsuchi, but he underestimated Kagutsuchi's strength. If he didn't go all out, he would even risk losing. .
After realizing that Kagutsuchi was an opponent of the same level as himself, Huang Zhong decided to fight Kagutsuchi with all his strength, but even if he used all his strength, it would probably take two hundred rounds to determine the winner. He had no strength to fight Susano'o, so Huang Zhong decided to outwit him.
After eighty rounds of fighting with Kagutsuchi, Huang Zhong deliberately pretended to be defeated and fled, luring Kagutsuchi to pursue him.
As expected, Kagutsuchi was fooled and chased after him at full speed, while Huang Zhong took the opportunity to turn around and shoot an arrow. Although he avoided it, he shot the opponent's mount to death.
Kagutsuchi's mount was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse. He did not dare to fight Huang Zhong again, so he decisively fled and replaced Susano'o to fight Huang Zhong.
Through just watching the battle, Susano'o has seen Huang Zhong's weakness. Huang Zhong's overall strength is indeed stronger than Kagutsuchi, but it is obvious that Huang Zhong cannot be his opponent.
As soon as Huang Zhong and Susano'o fought, they realized that this opponent was invincible, so after thirty rounds of the battle, they deliberately lost again and prepared to use a knife trick to win, but they were defeated by Susano'o, who had been prepared for it. blocked.
The dragging knife plan failed. Huang Zhong knew that he could not win, so he did not bother with Susano'o too much. He shot all the arrows in the pot and retreated on his own initiative.
The two fierce generals Mi Houwang and Huang Zhong were defeated at the hands of Susanoo. This also made Zhou Yu's fear reach its peak, and he directly transferred Lu Bu, who was suppressing the rebellion in the rear.
Susano'o had already known Lu Bu's information by heart. He had fought against the overlord Xiang Yu alone many times and escaped unscathed. He was ranked among the top ten warriors even in the Central Plains.
Susano'o was not absolutely sure of winning, but he couldn't bear it and wanted to fight Lu Bu, but he couldn't lose, so he decided to let Takemurei go to test it first and wear down Lu Bu. .
Thunder is the most violent natural energy, and as the Japanese god of thunder, Jianyu Lei is naturally stronger than the Japanese god of fire, Kagutsuchi.
Although Huang Zhong can defeat Kagutsuchi, if he goes up against Taketsuchi Rai, even if he outsmarts him, he may still lose.
However, although Jian Yulei's strength is strong, there is obviously still a certain gap compared with Lu Bu, who is a super general.
The two sides fought for only ten rounds, and Jian Yulei fell into a disadvantage. After twenty rounds, the situation was already full of dangers.
"Is this the strength of the ghost Lu Bu? It's really powerful." Susano'o murmured to himself.
Even Susanoo couldn't suppress Takemurei in thirty rounds. This fully proves that Lu Bu's strength is superior to him, but it does not mean that he will definitely lose.
With Yu Jian Lei consuming Lu Bu's physical strength, he has tried out many moves. With Susano'o at his peak, the chance of winning can be increased to at least 60%.
This winning rate is obviously not safe. After all, God knows if Lu Bu has any other hidden cards?
Susano'o began to hesitate in his mind whether to fight, but obviously there was not much time for him to think. If he did not take action, Yu Jianlei would not only lose, but his life might also be in danger.
"Jian Yulei, please step back. You are no match for His Excellency Fengxian. It is better for me, Su Mingwu Zun, to come and meet him."
Susano'o is the name of a Shinto god, Sumonu is his real name, and Sasuke is his nickname, and only Himiko and other relatives can call him.
Susano'o's equipment is also extremely luxurious. His whole body is almost entirely equipped with artifacts, and he is armed to the teeth.
I saw him holding the Japanese sword, one of the three famous guns, carrying two divine swords, the Juken sword and the Kusanagi sword, on his back. He was wearing a horse-drawn hibiscus pocket, wearing the Karasuten dog divine armor, and hanging from his waist could be used as a concealed weapon. An eight-foot magatama, with an eight-tata mirror inside the armor to act as a breast protector, and under his crotch is riding the most famous Japanese horse, Oni Lumao.
Lu Bu's equipment and appearance are already top-notch, but when compared with Susano'o, let alone Lu Bu, even Li Cunxiao can't compare.
After all, in Great Qin, no one except Emperor Ying Hao was qualified to wear a divine weapon in battle.
In Japan, Susanoo had such qualifications.
