In Japan's Kyoto, Sanada Ryumasa watched the frontline battle reports and handled logistics matters for more than 300,000 troops.
At this time, the guard came to report, "For the record, Master Dazai, do not call any slaves outside the door to ask for an audience."
"It seems that the matter of the God of War has been dealt with. Well, let him enter."
After Mo Zhaonu led Cao Isshiki in, Sanada Ryuumasa asked: "Mo Zhaonu, judging from your expression, did you encounter any changes here?"
Isshiki Kusanagi replied: "Sanada Ryuumasa, you don't know. This time, Mo Zhaonu and I almost had our lives involved."
"what happened?"
Mo Zhaonu then told the story of what happened during this trip, "Cao Yise and I rushed to Shenye Mountain with the God of War. We originally wanted to find the Shenyi clan and treat the injuries suffered by the God of War. Unexpectedly, we encountered The members of the Shenyi clan escaped, I heard the details..."
"The Shenyi clan was wiped out, and it was the Cruel Alliance that took action. How could this happen?"
"This is the fact. According to Miss Yuanji's description, those who attacked the Shenyi clan had no hidden intentions. If my deduction is correct, the Cruel Alliance should also be a hidden stake arranged by the Soul Burial Emperor in Japan. At that time, the Western Sword Current swept the Western Sea. Dao, destroyed countless sects. This group of people blended in, claiming that the sect was destroyed by the Western Sword Style, and took advantage of the situation to form the so-called cruel alliance. On the surface, they were opposed to the Western Sword Style, but in fact, like the Western Sword Style, they took advantage of the struggle in the Japanese court. , strengthen yourself and prepare for the Soul Burial Emperor’s attack on Japan.”
Sanada Ryuumasa sighed: "How many forces has the Soul Burial Emperor planted in our country? How many people have secretly taken refuge in him? This question is really chilling."
"I'm afraid only the Soul-Burying Emperor can answer this question for you. There are even many blood relatives of the Emperor who have taken refuge in the Soul-Burying Emperor. It's conceivable how much power is hidden behind this. Speaking of which, the Soul-Burying Emperor may have been dead for a long time. He has plans for Japan, otherwise he would not have deployed so many forces. This also explains why he knows Japan’s coastal border defense so well. Japan’s so-called border-opening plan, it seems now, is just to give the Soul Burial Emperor an early attack It's just an excuse to attack Japan. We can't even rule out that he was behind this." Mo Zhaonu speculated on what he had made through his observations during this period.
"Now that I think about it, the reason why Shenmu Xiongba went against the norm and ordered Iwatou to commit suicide to apologize for his crime. It was not only the reason for killing the donkey, but also the bigger reason was to allow the Japanese forces to gather together so that the Western Kenryu and the Cruel Alliance could be destroyed in one fell swoop. All the forces of Japan.”
"So, we have reached this critical moment. Sanada Ryuumasa, don't tell me that you didn't take any action while I was treating the military god's injuries."
"Don't call the slaves to work for the God of War. How can I be silent? I believe that the Sword Master is already on his way here."
Cao Yise was shocked and said: "What!? The Sword Master would actually take action. There has been no news about him in the world for a while."
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Shenwu Xiongba."
"Why?"
"If it weren't for the two sword masters under his command, it would have been impossible for Ryomine Sadayoshi to persuade the sword master to come out."
Mo Zhaonu had already guessed how Sanada Ryuumasa persuaded the Sword Master to come out, "Did you show the sword marks left by the two sword energies that day to the Sword Master?"
"That's right. According to Ryomine Sadayoshi, originally the sword master didn't want to intervene. But after seeing the two sword marks, he changed his mind and wanted to take a look at the two sword masters. He even commented that one of them had already reached the level of ' The state of the man and the sword. And the other person's state of swordsmanship is not inferior to him. This is why the sword master is willing to take action."
At this time, Cao Yise noticed that Mo Zhaonu's expression was wrong and asked: "Mo Zhaonu, the Sword Master has taken action, and the Military God will be cured soon, why are you still frowning?"
Mo Zhaonu expressed the worries in his heart, "Under the command of Shenwu Xiongba and his son, there are still two masters of swordsmanship that can interest even the sword masters. In addition, the number one master of the royal family, Huang Ying, is not included. There are forces that have not yet been revealed, as well as the Soul Burial Emperor who has not yet taken action."
Then he asked: "Sanada Ryuumasa, I wonder how Osaka's defense is going?"
"Due to the incident at Sakai Port last time, I have ordered to strengthen the defensive offensive against Osaka. Based on the last experience, troops will be deployed far away from the coast and use the mountains to guard the three important roads leading to Tamba, Kyoto, and Osaka. Prevent the Soul Burial Emperor's army from landing and cut off our army's retreat. As for the Spirit Ninja troops of the Western Kenryu, more than 300,000 troops commanded by Ryomine Sadayoshi, they used the terrain to block the Tanba Kingdom in the mountains."
"To avoid another accident, I have to rush to Osaka to prevent the Soul Burial Emperor from actually landing from there."
"With you, Mo Zhaonu, in Osaka, Sanada Ryuumasa can rest assured."
At this moment, there was a sudden violent shaking. Then a series of harsh sounds spread throughout Kyoto.
Sanada Ryuumasa and Mo Zhaonu who were in the house heard the sound and quickly came out to check, and saw a strange light staining the sky.
"That's...the direction of Osaka, could it be..."
"It's not good, it's not good, Master Dazai."
"Why are you so alarmed?"
The guards hurriedly reported the information from Osaka, "Your Majesty, the messengers scattered around Osaka sent back the news that the Soul Burial Emperor's army has landed in Osaka, broke through the defense line, and headed straight for Kyoto."
"It came so quickly. How about I arrange for the troops to be stationed at the main roads?"
The guard told another disappointing news, "According to the news sent back by the surviving messengers, the shock just now was caused by the enemy's warships firing. Our troops stationed at various strategic points have already joined the defensive offensive. They were leveled together."
"It turns out that the reason why the Soul Burying Emperor attacked Sakai Port is because I, Sanada Ryuumasa, was careless." Only then did Sanada Ryumasa understand the Soul Burying Emperor's intention of attacking Sakai Port that day.
The purpose is to make yourself misjudge the battleship's cannon attack range. According to the experience of Japan’s ultimate weapon Tianshou Pavilion, preconception means that the attack distance of the battleship is the same as that of Tianshou Pavilion.
Offensives were built at various key roads near Osaka, thinking that even if Osaka fell, the terrain could be used to resist the enemy.
The Soul Burying Emperor took advantage of this opportunity to remove the obstacles from Osaka to Kyoto, annihilating the defense forces around Kyoto in one fell swoop, and cutting off the retreat of Japan's more than 300,000 troops.
"Don't call slaves, I have something to trouble you with."
Mo Zhaonu already understood what Sanada Ryuumasa was going to say, "Sanada Ryuumasa, I understand what you are going to say. Now there is no longer any force between Osaka and Kyoto that can hinder the Soul Burying Emperor's army. The most important thing is to keep the thirty The army of more than 10,000 people is still strong, so I will inform the front line of Yoshimine Sadayoshi to retreat."
"please."
"Please." It was a matter of life and death for Japan. Mo Zhaonu and Cao Yise did not dare to stay for a moment and hurried to the front line where the army was stationed.
After Mo Zhaonu left, Sanada Ryuumasa ordered the guards: "Pass my order, and all the famous martial arts families in Kyoto will immediately hand over their private soldiers, and I will command them uniformly."
"yes."
"Also, how is the progress of the things I asked the craftsmen to build before?"
"Reporting to your lord, after your lord's order was issued, craftsmen all over Kyoto worked day and night, and finally completed it two days ago. It is ready for your lord's call."
"Okay. Go down and get ready."
"yes."
Sanada Ryuumasa looked at the impending storm in the distance and made an astonishing decision, "Soul Burial Emperor, if you want to destroy Japan, then I, Sanada Ryuumasa, will definitely make you pay an unimaginable price."
Thanks to Wu Mengsheng for the large reward.
