"The general is not good, the warships of the Tang Army have cut off the sea area between Shikoku Island and Honshu Island."

"And sank all the ships we had parked in the harbor." A Japanese general came to the great general Ozawa Sora and said.

"What about sinking a warship, and what about cutting off the way of retreat. General Ben was not prepared to return to the island at all. ”

"Only let the Tang Army see the spirit of our Japanese soldiers who are not afraid of life and death. will let them know that our country is not a weak nation. ”

"At that time, even if His Majesty the Emperor negotiates with the Tang Army, he will have a certain amount of bargaining chips. Our death is the end of it. Ozawa said.

"General, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend Tokushima Castle at all. After all, the mysterious weapon of the Tang Army was too powerful. A lieutenant general said to Ozawa Ikora.

"So we can't stay in Tokushima Castle, General Ben has already sent someone to investigate. Fifty miles outside of Tokushima Castle is the Tokushima Volcano. ”

"The volcano has always been active, and there are eruptions every year. That's why we're setting up an ambush under the Tokushima volcano this time. ”

"If we can't stop the Tang Army's pace, then sacrifice the souls of the soldiers to the Tokushima Volcano and let the flames erupt from the volcano engulf the Tang Army." Ozawa said with his mouth saught.

"My subordinates are willing to take the head of the great general, and they are willing to sacrifice their souls for our country and His Majesty the Emperor to block the pace of the Tang Army." The generals of the camp knelt down in front of Ozawa Sora and said.

……

When Xue Dingshan led an army of 100,000 vanguards, he came to Tokushima Castle ten miles away. I received a report that Tokushima Castle had been emptied.

At first, Xue Dingshan thought it was an empty plan by the Japanese people, but soon received news again. That is, the Japanese army has withdrawn in the direction of the main island.

"Uncle Luo, it seems that this Japanese army is preparing to flee back to the island. However, they may not know that the harbor has been occupied by Wu Yuanzhong. ”

"Even if they retreat now, it will definitely be a dead end. It's just that Wu Yuanzhong is cheaper. Xue Dingshan said to Luo Huan with a smile.

"Ding Shan, no matter what, we can't let this credit fall into the hands of the navy, otherwise our face will be lost." Zhou Qing opened his mouth and said to Xue Dingshan.

"In that case, let's speed up the march with all our troops. Be sure to catch up with the forces of the Japanese state. Wipe them out before they reach the harbor. Xue Dingshan nodded and said.

So Xue Dingshan and Luo Huan led the vanguard army and did not stop at Tokushima Castle. Instead, he directly led his troops to chase in the direction of Ozawa's escape.

This pursuit lasted for half a day, but the Japanese army in front of it disappeared. This couldn't help but make Xue Dingshan feel puzzled.

"Uncle Luo, could it be that this little devil of the Japanese Kingdom can disappear out of thin air. Why is there no trace all of a sudden? Xue Dingshan asked Luo Huan.

"I'm afraid all this is a plan of the little devils of the Japanese kingdom to lure us here." Luo Huan pointed forward with his hand and said to Xue Dingshan.

Following the direction of Luo Huan's finger, Xue Ding Mountain saw a majestic peak. Black smoke billowed from the peaks.

"This is supposed to be the Tokushima volcano, right? It is said that the villagers here also sacrifice the volcano with beautiful women every year to ask the volcano god to protect them. Xue Dingshan opened his mouth and said to Luo Huan.

At this time, Zhou Qing, who was in charge of leading the troops to explore the road, came back and said to the two: "There seems to be an ambush ahead." ”

"Could it be that this Japanese people don't know their long memory, and they know that they are not our opponents, so why did they come to die?" Xue Xiantu said.

"The emperor once said that although the Wa Kingdom is a despicable nation. But there is a spirit in Wakoku that is called bushido. ”

"It's a belief that sacrifices oneself to achieve one's goals. It is also the only place where the emperor feels that the Japanese people are worthy of praise. Luo Huan said to Xue Xiantu.

"A few uncles, no matter what way he has as a little devil, since he dares to come out and die. Why should we be stingy with that little bit of play? Xue Dingshan said with a smile.

Luo Huan waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid things are not so simple, this is Tokushima Volcano." This Tokushima volcano can erupt at any time. ”

"If we use the redcoat cannon, there is a high chance that the vibration will cause a volcanic eruption. When the time comes, don't say it's the Japanese army, I'm afraid even we will not be spared. ”

"I'm afraid this is also the reason why the Japanese army chose to ambush here. In order to use the flames of the eruption of the Tokushima volcano when we are defeated by our army, we will die with our army. ”

Hearing Luo Huan's words, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. When occupying the island of Kyushu, they were once ordered by Li Tai. The crater was blasted with explosives, causing the eruption of the Kyushu volcano.

So they saw the power of volcanic eruptions. Even now that I think about it, everyone will never forget the scene in their hearts.

"If it is really as General Luo Huan said, once this volcano erupts, then our 100,000 vanguard army will really have to be buried by the little devils of the Japanese country." Zhou Qing said in surprise.

For a while, Xue Dingshan really had no choice, after all, Xue Dingshan really didn't dare to take this risk. Otherwise, the 100,000 vanguard army might really die here.

After observing the mountain situation, Luo Huan said to Xue Dingshan: "It seems that now we can only send troops to bypass the Japanese army and seize the crater. In case the Japanese army caused the volcano to erupt. ”

"At the same time, we can't use the redcoat cannon in this battle, otherwise the power of the redcoat cannon is also likely to cause a volcanic eruption."

"If it's really as Uncle Luo said, I'm afraid that the Japanese army will have heavy troops in the crater. So this crater is not so easy to preempt. ”

"Even they found out that our troops seized the crater, which could directly detonate the volcano. At that time, it was really passive. Xue Dingshan said after thinking about it.

"Damn the little devil of the Japanese kingdom is really despicable enough, and he is ready to die with us." Xue Xiantu scolded angrily.

"You wait where you are, and let me take the Armorbreakers up to have a look. As long as I seize the crater, I will send you a signal. Luo Huan thought about it and said to Xue Dingshan.

There was no other way to do it now, Xue Dingshan could only nod. And told Luo Huan to be careful, and if he couldn't do anything, he would withdraw it quickly.

After Luo Huan nodded, he said to the armor-breaking army behind him: "Brothers, take our guys for dinner, and seize the crater with me." ”

With Luo Huan's order, the entire armor-breaking army was dispatched. Ran in the direction of the crater.

Seeing Luo Huan leave with the armor-breaking army, Zhou Qing said to Xue Dingshan: "Ding Shan, have you noticed that the weapons of the armor-breaking army are a little different from ours. ”

"The Armor Breaker is one of the Emperor's Praetorian Guards, and of course the weapons are the most advanced. and how can these muskets be compared with those in our hands? Xue Dingshan said.

However, Xue Dingshan also hoped very much in his heart that one day the troops he led could also be replaced with weapons in the hands of the armor-breaking army.
