Sui and Tang Dynasties: You were driven out of Wagang, but you surrendered to Yang Guang and were ma

Chapter 98 Yuwen Chenglong: Can I fucking go in and out 7 times too?

The sound of horses' hooves shook the heavens and earth, kicking up clouds of dust.

In no time at all, Lü Xiao led his men to the battlefield.

The sight that came into view made him frown.

There were no fortified cities or strong walls here, unlike what one might imagine.

There were only scattered wooden houses and simple fences; the houses were low and dilapidated, and the roads were muddy and impassable.

It's more like a slightly larger village than a country.

Even the most remote villages in the Sui Dynasty were much more orderly and prosperous than this place.

"Is he a general from Goguryeo?"

Song Cheng looked at Lü Xiao and his group, and saw that they were tall and strong, well-armored, and had an imposing presence.

Instantly overwhelmed by this oppressive aura, he even stammered.

He had never seen such an elite force before; even their aura was terrifying.

"Your Highness, this doesn't seem to be a Goguryeo person."

Yuwen Chenglong quickly noticed the anomaly and stepped forward to whisper a reminder.

"Although the Goguryeo people were not tall, they were still taller than these people."

Moreover, their clothing and weapons are exactly the same as those of the Japanese during the previous martial arts tournament!

"Who cares who they are, just smash it up first!"

Without waiting for Lü Xiao's order, Pei Yuanqing spurred his horse and charged forward, brandishing his silver hammer.

His strength was astonishing. With one blow, the Japanese samurai in front of him didn't even have a chance to react before his head was smashed into his chest cavity.

"Kill! Leave no one alive!"

Lü Xiao brandished his halberd, its red sash fluttering in the wind.

"promise!"

The soldiers of the Crimson Valiant Army responded in unison, their shouts echoing through the sky.

They raised their spears and charged towards the chaotic Japanese army like tigers descending a mountain, their spears unstoppable.

"Why...why did you attack?"

Matsunari stared in horror at the scene before him, utterly incredulous.

They clearly agreed that the Goguryeo people came to help them quell the internal strife, so why did they suddenly turn on them with their swords?

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lü Xiao galloping towards him on horseback.

The halberd, with its fierce wind, pierced straight through his chest.

Holding a gleaming silver spear, Yuwen Chenglong moved through the crowd of Japanese soldiers.

At this moment, he was too lazy to care whether the other party was a Goguryeo person or not, and only focused on swinging his spear to stab.

To his surprise, he found himself to be like a little giant among these short Japanese people, and his combat strength was overwhelming.

Wherever his silver spear passed, no one could withstand a single blow; the Japanese were utterly helpless before him.

"Hahaha! We've come to the right place! We've really come to the right place!"

Yuwen Chenglong shouted excitedly. At this moment, he felt that he had really become Zhao Zilong of Changshan, majestic and invincible.

Previously on the battlefield, he could only watch as Lü Xiao, Pei Yuanqing, and others galloped freely among the enemy troops.

Now I can stand out from the crowd, making seven incursions into and out of this Japanese island, killing the enemy and causing them to flee in disarray.

Even Yuwen Chenglong could make the Japanese flee in terror, so the elite soldiers of the Red Vanguard Army were even more unstoppable.

They were all battle-hardened and highly skilled in martial arts.

Dealing with these poorly equipped and weak Japanese rebels is as easy as an adult beating a child; they can be kicked away or killed with ease.

The resistance of the Japanese samurai seemed so pale and powerless in the face of them.

In the eyes of the Red Vanguard soldiers, the Japanese in front of them were no longer enemies, but countless achievements that were within their grasp.

Each kill meant a military achievement and a reward.

Everyone was bloodthirsty, and their offensive became increasingly fierce, causing the Japanese rebels to retreat in disarray, with cries of agony echoing across the land.

The shouts of the Sui army and the screams of the Japanese echoed throughout the entire territory of Tsukushi.

The setting sun, like blood, dyed the land of Chikushi a crimson red.

The area swept by the Red Fierce Army was now devoid of any life.

The ground was littered with Japanese corpses, piled up haphazardly, and the stench of blood lingered in the air.

Lu Xiao leaned against a dilapidated courtyard wall, munching on a flatbread he had brought from the ship, calmly gazing at the mess before him.

For him, this battle was more like a one-sided cleanup, with no suspense whatsoever.

"Your Highness, this is too easy!"

Yuwen Chenglong strode over, carrying a blood-stained silver spear, his face full of arrogant pride.

"Don't even mention you leading the troops yourself; even if I brought a small squad, I could wipe this entire Japanese island clean!"

He found an unprecedented sense of superiority in front of the Japanese, feeling that these short enemies were no match for him.

"It's not difficult at all, let's set up camp here," said Lü Xiao, swallowing the flatbread in his mouth.

"What a pity, we didn't bring a map of the island."

Yuwen Chenglong scratched his head, his tone tinged with regret.

He used to be able to roam freely across the northern grasslands entirely thanks to the maps he collected on a regular basis.

No one expected to come to the Japanese islands this time, so naturally no one was prepared.

"Pharmacist, I'll leave all the affairs of the camp to you." Lü Xiao was too lazy to bother and simply became a hands-off manager.

He was skilled in warfare, but when it came to troop deployment and camp management, he was naturally not as thorough as Li Jing.

"Your Highness, rest assured, this matter is entrusted to your humble servant."

Li Jing's face was calm as he glanced at the Japanese corpses on the ground.

He then looked at the well-organized and high-spirited Red Valiant Army and said in a relaxed tone:

"Tomorrow, the soldiers will be divided into groups of five hundred and advanced in a dispersed manner."

Japan's military strength is weak and its equipment is inferior. With the fighting power of the Red Vanguard Army, they could strike directly at its capital and flatten the entire Japanese island in less than a month.

This is not an exaggeration.

The Red Valiant Army was the elite of the elite, well-equipped and highly skilled in martial arts.

Meanwhile, the Japanese weapons and armor were crudely made, making the clash between the two sides a case of overwhelming force.

Concentrating forces would only tie our hands and feet; a dispersed advance would maximize efficiency.

"Okay, we'll do it your way." Lü Xiao nodded in agreement. With Li Jing as his external brain, he was indeed saved a lot of trouble.

Subsequently, the Red Valiant Army set up camp on the spot.

The remaining imperial infantry were stationed on ships and along the shore, in case of emergency.

Lü Xiao did not go to stay in the Japanese hut, but instead went straight into the large tent.

At this moment, he was still considering the mining of gold and silver mountains.

Transporting people from within the territory of the Sui Dynasty took a great deal of time, both round trip and back.

If they were to go to Liaodong, the Sui Dynasty would still need to destroy Goguryeo, which would take even longer than sending people there.

After much deliberation, Lü Xiao decided that he still could not kill the Japanese.

He had to make use of the waste and get the Japanese to help him mine for gold and silver.

The Sui Dynasty soldiers he brought could serve as overseers.

After figuring out how to arrange things, Lü Xiao closed his eyes and fiddled with the peace charm that Yang Ruyi had given him.

It's said that if you have no woman in your heart, you'll naturally be a god when you draw your sword, and that's certainly true.

Having only been away on campaign for a few days, he already missed Yang Ruyi at home and their unborn child.

Before long, Lü Xiao's eyelids began to droop, and he eventually fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, news of Matsunari's murder and the fall of Tsukushi in northern Kyushu spread rapidly.

Powerful figures from various separatist factions in Japan gathered, their expressions a mixture of panic and indignation.
