"Your Majesty."
In the capital of the Kingdom of Yamato, attendants knelt down outside the sleeping hall built of stone and wood, full of ancient charm.
Ming Tianzhi's cold voice came from the hall: "What's the matter?"
"News from the northern front, the four thousand Beitian Red Army encircling and suppressing the invading troops have suffered more than half casualties and are outnumbered by the enemy."
"The invading enemy troops are good at using short bows, which can be fired with one hand in close combat... They set up ambushes in the mountains, and their combat effectiveness is very strong."
The attendant who reported the report said: "In the direction of Anjing, an enemy army also appeared two hours ago, approaching Jiuzhou City quickly."
"Jiuzhou?!"
Tomorrow Tianzhi's calm and murderous voice sounded in the hall: "Add eight thousand more elite soldiers from the Beitian Red Army Camp to continue the encirclement and suppression.
Move the Zuo Army and Qianshan Army back to support Jiuzhou City.
All enemy soldiers who could be captured alive were skinned and their heads hung in public to frighten the enemy.
Those who can capture the enemy leader alive will be given the position of camp captain Zuo Benzhu and their names will be engraved in the Hall of Heroes. "
Before and after Asuka Tenchi ascended the throne to take charge of Yamato, he personally led the army in battle.
He himself is a general who knows military skills. In the past, he personally slaughtered countries large and small that did not surrender to the island nation.
After he gave the order, the attendants made arrangements according to the order.
Tomorrow Tianzhi got up, walked alone in the palace, walked through the courtyard and came to the outside of another palace.
In his palace, there is a shrine.
On the corridor outside the shrine, there are armors from different periods of the Yamato Kingdom. There are sixteen armors in total, and their murderous aura is invisible.
Tomorrow Tianzhi came to the door of the palace, with a solemn expression on his long face, stretched out his hand and pushed gently, opening the heavy door engraved with incantations.
A cold breath rushed out from the hall.
There seemed to be waves of strange whispers mixed in the breath.
Tomorrow Tianzhi showed a smile with a contented and peaceful expression.
This place always made him feel relieved and confident.
He walked into the temple.
The dark palace then lit up with a faint light.
In the direction of the entrance to the hall, there are human figurines carved from black stone. The figures are weird, with big heads and no necks. Everyone is squatting there in a semi-crouching posture, and their bodies are bloated. From low to high, it extends into the temple.
On top of their heads is a bowl-shaped stone groove.
There was lamp oil burning in the bowl.
As Tomorrow Tianzhi entered, the lamp oil was ignited by a force, and the light flickered.
Within the scope of the light source, rows of floating figures appeared in the darkness behind the stone figurines.
If you look closely at these weightless figures floating in the air, they are actually human skins.
The human skin was engraved with blood-colored incantations, wrapped with thin threads, and hung in the hall without touching the ground with its feet.
The strange thing is that some people's skin is plump and shiny, the mantras on their bodies are flowing like blood, as if they are alive, and there is breath coming in and out between their eyes, mouth and nose.
Some people were still blinking, staring eerily at Asuka who came in.
There are also some skins that are shriveled and old, with wrinkles everywhere, as if they are old and lifeless.
These human skins are a kind of puppet armor unique to Yamato.
More than half of the skins in the shrine are trophies made by Asuka Tenchi after killing his past opponents.
There are also parts that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.
The older the armor is, the more souls it absorbs, the more powerful and ferocious it is, and it has developed spirituality within itself.
These human skins can be incorporated into the armor and become a complete puppet armor, ever-changing.
Tomorrow Tianzhi stretched out his hand and pointed, and four puppet armors slowly floated out from the depths of the palace.
They turned into a breath and merged into four of the sixteen pieces of armor placed on the corridor outside the palace.
The integrated armor "came to life" as if someone was wearing it, walking around and kneeling down to pay homage to Tomorrow Tianzhi.
"Go kill the leader of the invading team!"
After a while, the puppet armor stood up and walked into the void, disappearing one after another.
Tomorrow Tenchi sneered: "If you want to invade my Yamato, you are seeking your own death!"
He walked to the deepest part of the palace and knelt on the ground.
There are three small boxes enshrined on the shrine here.
Two of them are Asuka Tenchi, skins plucked from their father and brother.
Puppet armor made by related people is the most powerful to its user and can perfectly convey power.
And in the wooden box in the middle is the treasure of Yamato.
Thousands of years ago, the skin of a powerful god-like sea beast was peeled off after death, and it was made into puppet armor.
In Tomorrow's view, its power is comparable to that of gods and demons, destroying all forces that resist him.
Tomorrow Tianzhi whispered and prayed to the three boxes, which meant that he needed the help of his father and brother's puppets.
Help him awaken his strongest power and defeat his opponents.
Two quarters of an hour later, Tomorrow Tianzhi personally carried two of the boxes, stood up and walked out of the Puppet Armor Hall.
Outside the royal capital, a black aura rolled up, carrying terrifying power fluctuations, and disappeared in an instant.
————
The Mirage is as fast as flying.
Huo Qubing used the Lotus Leaf to send and receive news about the two armies of the island nation and learn about the latest battle situation.
In the afternoon of the next day, when the second batch of Japanese troops came to the Kitayama area where Zhao Anji and others were, they saw hundreds of corpses of Yamato soldiers.
Their bodies were curled up, and they were kneeling before death. Their heads were chopped off, and their blood stained the ground red.
Their heads were chopped off and hung on trees.
The Han army executed all the captured Yamato soldiers, and no one survived.
Kuishan was a general of the Yamato Army and was forty-one years old.
He was riding on a small horse from the island country. When he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes were scarlet, and he angrily issued orders in the island country language to fight to the death with the enemy.
However, the result of the search was that the Han army had disappeared.
According to some signs, Zhao Anji led his troops to the west.
Kuishan immediately led his troops to track down the Han army.
At the same time, the Mirage unloaded a thousand men led by Yao Zhao and landed from the area east of Shikoku Island.
They will be the third group of troops to land on the island, and their positions will echo those of Zhao Ponu's men from the north to the south.
The Mirage continued to move forward. Near the evening of the next day, it reached the designated combat position and dropped anchor at sea.
"Huo Hou, when will we take action?"
Huo Qubing looked at the coastline of the island country from the deck: "Wait a moment, we need to cooperate with Zhao Ponu and Zhao Anji's people."
The sky is filled with stars.
There was a big storm in the sea south of the island country.
In the night, four ships, led by the Mirage, silently approached the southern tip of Honshu Island.
At this time, the Mirage was concealed from the sky, secretly crossed by Chencang and other military strategies, and covered like a thin stream of mist, transporting troops and horses to the shore without any rush.
This is why Huo Qubing said that the island country is surrounded by sea and has no danger to defend.
If a battle breaks out, they will not be able to defend the entire length of the coastline.
When Huo Qubing set foot on the island country, the moon was as bright as water and it was midnight.
The roaring waves behind him seemed to indicate that this land was about to usher in a war storm!
Less than two hundred miles to the northeast is the royal capital of Yamato in this era.
A hundred miles to the east is the royal capital port, with three thousand troops stationed there.
But there is no need to alert these garrisons at all. You can complete the landing by choosing an area outside of their warning.
The war horses were transported to the shore one after another from the bottom of the ship's cabin.
Nearly an hour later, the troops landed ashore and entered combat mode.
Except for the thousand soldiers and horses that Yao Zhao had taken away halfway, the remaining imperial troops advanced to the northeast like a whirlwind.
The two-hundred-mile long road across mountains and rivers was only more than half an hour's journey for the soldiers and horses led by Huo Qubing himself.
The moon passes the zenith.
The imperial army appeared on a hill southwest of Yamato's capital.
Huo Qubing stood on his horse and looked at the capital of Yamato.
Its city is in an irregular square shape and stretches for several miles. It is the largest city in Yamato.
The buildings in the city are more substantial and simple than those of later generations, with square shapes.
Even late at night, you can still see many lights in the city.
This is the center of power and economy of the Yamato Kingdom. It is surrounded by city walls, and the top of the city is five feet high, and there are sentries in armor.
The Forbidden Army led by Huo Qubing still maintained their marching strategy, and their traces were not visible.
"Who is willing to be the vanguard and destroy the royal city of this small island country?" Huo Qubing asked.
"I want to be the first!"
"Master Marquis, I would like to issue a military order and break open the city gate within a quarter of an hour."
"Da Sima..."
Fu Luzhi, Chen Qing, and a very young face who came out of the team was the young general Zhao Chongguo.
There are many friends behind him, even though they are ignorant, they are eager to try.
But his status was low and he did not dare to compete with Fu Lu Zhi and Chen Qing.
Zhao Chongguo came out and saw Fu Luzhi and Chen Qing both asking for a fight, and then quietly retreated.
There is also a figure that is particularly sturdy and sturdy, that is Xiong San.
She was covered in armor and said nothing, but her attitude of wanting to rush into battle was obvious.
"Fu Luzhi led his troops to break through the south gate, Chen Qing, and the east gate.
Zhao Chongguo, Pu Peng, and Gao Bujie have not yet entered the realm of heaven and humans, so the three of them work together as a team.
Let's go forward together and see who can break the city first! "
"Master, here's me." Xiong San blinked his big eyes.
"We will enter the city in a moment and let you be the vanguard and destroy the palace." Huo Qubing said.
After Chen Qing received the order to restore the Lu branch, he each led a group of 500 troops and prepared to attack the city.
boom! !
The thunderous sound of hooves.
The soldiers and horses of Fu Lu Zhi and Chen Qing were like two dragons emerging from the water, divided into two columns, and galloped out.
Huo Qubing took back his marching plan at the same time, and the troops seemed to emerge from nothingness.
The royal capital of Yamato was also in a state of war readiness due to the previous landing of troops from Zhao Ponu and Zhao Anji.
The sound of hoofbeats started, and the defenders at the top of the city reacted almost immediately, blowing sharp and piercing whistles.
The sound spread throughout the city, signaling an enemy attack.
But the whistle suddenly stopped.
Several lines of soldiers and horses of the Han army rushing into the city took action at the same time.
Chen Qing was very good at horseback shooting. He fired his bow continuously on horseback and shot arrows as fast as meteors, killing two sentries at the top of the city.
Watch from the mountain where Huo Qubing and others are.
The two teams of Chen Qing and Fu Lu were equally fast.
The two were experienced and resolute in dispatching troops. They started to take action when riding, taking the lead.
The 600 tiger soldiers led by Zhao Chongguo and three others were slightly slower than Fu Luzhi and Chen Qing. Each had their own marching strategy and the force was rolling.
But along the way, Huben Guards were all fighting for the lead, charging very fiercely, and urging their horses crazily.
Suddenly, at the top of the city, the light of the sword flashed like a thunderbolt.
After Fu Luzhi approached the city gate slightly, he jumped up from his horse and rushed to the top of the city.
The defenders in the city were blaring sirens, and men and horses were running around, quickly deploying their defenses.
Chen Qing on the other side gathered his forces, mobilized his forces from the air, and began to bombard the city gate.
The shouts of killing resounded in the sky.
In just a quarter of an hour, King Yamato was attacked on three sides.
The three people from Zhao Chongguo who finally rushed up had not reached the realm of heaven and humans. They did not have the ability to climb the tower alone, nor could they gather their troops.
But the three of them cooperated and were not to be outdone.
Zhao Chongguo shouted wildly: "You two help me."
Gao Bushi and Pu Peng immediately jumped off their galloping horses and ran with all their strength.
When Zhao Chongguo also jumped off his horse, the two of them grabbed his hands, rotated them in a circle to accumulate strength, and threw them out while shouting.
boom!
The three of them worked together, and the air roared as if it had been squeezed.
Zhao Chongguo was thrown out like a cannonball, rushing towards the top of the city with the roar of the wind.
At the top of the city, a guard slashed out with a knife.
Zhao Chongguo relied on his strong momentum to protect his head and face with both hands and crashed directly into the opponent.
The secret armor spell on his body glowed, resisting the opponent's knife.
Click! boom!
The impact of the attack that was thrown at Zhao Chongguo from a distance was so fierce that the opponent sided to avoid it, but it was only brushed away and the blade was broken.
Zhao Chongguo threw a kick in the air, using the force of the opponent's counterattack to stop his momentum. The powerful momentum was borne by both sides.
puff! Even Zhao Chongguo himself spurted out a mouthful of blood.
He rolled on the ground, drew his knife, and rushed towards the enemy soldiers like a madman, and also successfully climbed to the top of the city.
Boom!
The mountains shook and the earth shook.
The Han army below gathered their troops and attacked the city gate with all their strength.
"The generals are gathering under the Marquis!" Si Xiong praised.
Gongsun Hong narrowed his eyes and was very interested.
The Han army has grown to this point, and the soldiers and generals brought out by Huo Qubing finally saw money to turn around.
Fu Luzhi, Chen Qing and other captains have the ability to break through the enemy's formation.
Zhao Chongguo, Pupeng, Gao Bushi and others will come forward in the future, highlighting their abilities day by day.
"Master Marquis, the news from our investigation is that not far to the north is the Yamato Kingdom's Royal Guard Army Camp. Reinforcements will be coming soon." Si Xiong reminded.
At this time, another figure suddenly rushed out of the Han army's formation, surpassed the galloping horse, and headed for the city gate.
"Whoever breaks the rules and storms the city without permission!"
"Old Prime Minister."
