This heroine is so despicable

Therefore Xing assured:

"I swear, as soon as this is over, I'll come find you right away!"

Volume 185: Immortal's body has an end, the world and the human world: Prepare for battle

The next morning, Kujo Takayuki, who had hardly slept the previous night due to being so angry, although not in good spirits, still led his troops out personally - even though his age and physical condition were no longer suitable for leading the troops personally.

But... there's nothing we can do, because this matter is really too serious.

——According to the news from early last night, after the enemy army broke through the outlying island, they did not even stop there, but continued to march southward, as if they were heading straight for Inazuma Castle.

God knows how angry Kujo Takayuki was when he heard the news. This was the greatest humiliation he had ever experienced!

When this story spreads, what will the Inazuma people think of him, the Tenryo Bugyo? He has so many samurai foot soldiers, but he can't even defend Narukami Island! ?

The angry Kujo Takayuki immediately vowed to send these daring rebels to the sky one by one! Let everyone know that this is just a small group of unreasonable resistance elements who overestimated their own strength and launched suicide attacks!

Under the military might of Tianling Fengxing, the enemy's madness is nothing but a gnat trying to shake a tree!

When a large number of Tenryo Bugyo troops left the city, this scene did not surprise the residents of Inazuma Castle too much.

Most people just thought that the situation on the front line was tense and Tianling Bugyo had sent a group of reinforcements.

Some people even privately resented this - it was such a dignified Heavenly Lord, but it was so difficult to defeat the Coral Palace rebels, making the people's lives miserable. They were simply insects.

Not long after the army set out, the front-line scouts reported again - the Coral Palace rebels had set out from Konda Village early this morning and were heading south. Even after dawn, the scouts discovered that the enemy was detaining prisoners of the shogunate army from the outlying islands. The villages along the way and countless passers-by had witnessed this scene.

In addition, according to the intelligence from the outlying islands, the head of the Hiiragi family, who served as the Kanjo Bugyo, seems to have been captured. The enemy's warships seem to have escaped with him and the property stolen from the Kanjo Bugyo, and are currently searching for the enemy on the sea.

After hearing the news, Kujo Takayuki felt a little numb.

The Tenryo Bugyo had a powerful army, but was unable to keep the Inazuma people in check. Hiiragi Iejo was captured, and the Kanjo Bugyo would probably be in chaos for a while. The Kamisato family, the Shrine Bugyo, had always been at odds with the Kujo family, so there was no hope of expecting them to help cover up the incident.

It probably won’t be long before this news spreads throughout Narukami Island.

When he thought of this, not only was he extremely angry, but the other retainers of the Kujo family were also furious - these insect colleagues on the outlying island, how could they be so greedy for life and afraid of death! Don't they know that this is a disgrace to the entire Tenryo Bugyo!

"This is outrageous! Do these guys still have the pride and dignity of being samurai?"

"Could it be that he has been on the island for so long that even his bones have become soft?"

"Master! After the war, we must send all those cowards to the front line to serve as the death squad! Otherwise, it will not be enough..."

"--enough!"

Kujo Takayuki shouted angrily.

"The most urgent task now is to immediately wipe out these Coral Palace rebels! We can figure out how to deal with them afterwards!"

He looked at the sentinel who was reporting:

"How many troops are there in the enemy?!"

"Big... about a hundred people, definitely less than two hundred!"

This made Kujo Takayuki tremble with anger again - how dare more than a hundred people come here like this? Could they really be the enemy's death squad?

No...the biggest problem is probably that stranger!

Kujo Takayuki quickly realized the crux of the problem.

He called a retainer and asked him if there was any news from Zhidong:

"What about the Fatui's executive officer? Didn't the Solstice people say that the other party was caught off guard by the enemy's sneak attack last time and was nearly kidnapped by the enemy? Doesn't the lady want to take this opportunity to take revenge?"

Of course, Kujo Takayuki had no way of knowing that the lady was not at all as she said - defeating the opponent's restraints halfway and forcing the opponent to jump into the sea to escape - but was played with from head to toe inside and out before being let go.

This is how the lady explained it to her subordinates, and the diplomats of Zhidong naturally announced it to the outside world as well.

They even exaggerated the story for Zhidong's sake, saying, "The lady's power is too strong. In order not to harm the lives and property of the Inazuma people on the outlying islands, the kind-hearted lady deliberately allowed the daring hijacker to be taken to an uninhabited sea before truly showing her strength to defeat him and forcing him to jump into the sea and escape..."

Inazuma had no doubts at all - when the shogunate's ship followed the fire from the ship to find the lady, she was indeed standing safely on the ice floe, venting her anger towards the sea, as if she was angry at the enemy's lucky escape.

"This……"

The retainer looked miserable.

"I sent the message last night, but the other party didn't seem to have this intention..."

"This group of winter people..."

Kujo Takayuki sighed:

"Let's try to contact him again. If that doesn't work, we can only rely on ourselves... By the way, where's Sara?"

"Lady Sara must be on her way here as quickly as possible, but she is in the Nine Formation House after all, so I'm afraid... it will take her a while to get here."

Kujo Takayuki snorted again, obviously dissatisfied with this terrible situation.

Considering all aspects, the shogunate army seemed to need to make more comprehensive plans - after all, if they could capture the outlying island with only more than a hundred people, the enemy must have something powerful.

But the problem was that the situation did not allow Tenryo Bugyo to continue procrastinating. No matter what the reason was, he had to wipe out the enemy as soon as possible - otherwise, if the enemy really came to the outside of Inazuma Castle in a swaggering manner, bringing a large group of shogunate prisoners for public display, then Kujo Takayuki would really have to commit suicide to apologize to the Shogun.

After much hesitation, Kujo Takayuki finally gave the order:

"Let the troops... move forward a little slower. They can't lose touch with our country..."

Kujo Takayuki looked at the rear of the team and the two national soldiers being pulled by ox carts, and felt a little relieved.

No matter who they are, unless they are gods or demons, they can't possibly withstand the power of this country's collapse! ?

------------

"Commander-in-chief! The shogunate army is only a dozen miles away from us!"

The scout with the arrow wound sent back a report, and the soldier next to him hurriedly checked his injury. The latter also ignored other things and quickly reported the situation to Xing in detail:

"The enemy's scouts were extra vigilant this time, and asked for passwords. They intercepted me as soon as I approached them and discovered my disguise, but... although I couldn't see it clearly... but there seemed to be a national collapse in the enemy's army!"

The so-called national collapse is actually a cannon, but the Inazuma people call it that.

Compared to the cannons in Xing’s memory, the cannons in this world seem to have been developed by the Fontaine people, but they use elemental power. However, the power and usage are almost the same.

Compared to Liyue's Final Cannon, which is obviously designed to deal with large enemies and has extremely high penetration, the design of this elemental cannon is closer to anti-infantry firepower, and its power is indeed not small.

The rebels had also seen this thing before. The shogunate army used it to establish several outposts in Kamnuzuka, which were used like artillery towers to block the rebels' actions, forcing the rebels to use small assault teams to carry out various attacks around these outposts.

"Huh? A fellow like Tianling Bugyo is quite cautious, right?"

Xing was a little surprised. He had been so angry about the Tianling Fengxing guy that he rushed here like crazy, but in the end he still brought artillery with him...

It seems that someone has reminded them?

[She should be a lady, right? But... I don't think she will come to confront you directly this time. If she hasn't been fooled by you, she must know that an army composed of ordinary people is of no use to you.]

Humph, but she can't escape...

Star shrugged:

"Thank you for your hard work. Go treat your wound first."

Xing still seemed to have everything under control, but the captains of the various squads under his command were a little worried.

They also knew that the shogunate army's artillery fire was sharp, and the commander's great power could indeed make them immune to swords and spears, but... could they withstand the power of the country's collapse?

"Commander, we...?"

Xing would not explain anything to them - under his command, all the rebels had to do was obey orders.

"Everyone listen up, from now on, move forward at full speed! Get to Ganjin Island first! We will be there to give the shogunate army a head-on blow!"

Volume 186: The End of the Immortal Body, the World and the Human World: The Battle of Ganjin Island (Part )

At noon, the two armies finally began to fight near Gangin Island.

This small island is covered with beautiful cherry blossoms, and has always been a place where people hold various festivals in the past. However, with the downturn of Inazuma's economy, no activities have been held for a long time.

The only land access to Ganjin Island is through a shallow beach covered with white sand, and the rebels who had entered this place first had already occupied this position and arranged their troops in a position that seemed very sinister to the shogunate army.

"These guys!"

Kujo Takayuki was riding on a horse, standing on the shore from a high position, looking down at the rebel army in the distance, which was just showing a little bit of its military formation, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

The reason is simple. The enemy's army was deployed behind a mountain.

Due to geological reasons, the mountains of Inazuma are basically straight cliffs. The shogunate army's troops were deployed on the shore and could hardly shoot at the enemy.

As for moving the artillery forward...

Kujo Takayuki looked at the samurai and foot soldiers who were wading slowly forward in the shallows, and then at the Kunibeng behind them that was so heavy that it could only be pulled by livestock. He decided to give up this high-risk idea - if this thing went down, it would only be stuck in the sand.

Moreover, the enemy's individual combat power must be high. If Guo Beng moves forward rashly and ends up being wiped out, that would be terrible.

Kujo Takayuki sighed.

"...It's a pity that my Sara has not arrived yet. If she were here, why would she be afraid of the foreign leader!"

However, at the critical moment, the retainer brought back good news - although the Fatui did not provide direct support, they did provide a batch of muskets, which had been delivered urgently.

The shogunate army was not unfamiliar with this thing. Kujo Takayuki had even considered whether to equip the shogunate army with it and even briefly trained a musket team. However, the reason why it was not equipped in the end was simply because this thing was too expensive - only Fontaine sold a small amount to the outside world, and it was not sold at all in winter.

"This group of Zhidong people... actually hid weapons and entered the outlying island! Humph... Never mind, now is not the time to pursue them! Distribute them immediately!"

The warriors who had previously come into contact with muskets quickly got their hands on this batch of Winter's muskets. The good news is that Winter's muskets are more fool-proof to use than Fontaine's muskets. They are even simpler to use than bows and arrows, and can be mastered right away.

The shogunate army readjusted its formation for the newly-minted musketeers and quickly continued its advance, and then... then they were dumbfounded.

Behind the corner of the mountain, in addition to the rebels who were ready for battle, there were several rows of unarmed prisoners of the shogunate army who were tied up and forced to squat in front. When they saw them, they cried for help, but no one dared to move - and they couldn't move, as their hands and feet were tied up.

The shogunate troops, who were originally planning to open fire as soon as the enemy entered the firing range, were all stunned.

This...what should I do?

Immediately, a samurai ordered the messenger to pass the message to Lord Jiujo in the back. At this stalemate, Xing naturally rode his horse to the front of the army and cleared his throat:

"Cough cough..."

[What are you doing...? ]

Xing smiled slightly - of course... it's going to kill people and destroy their hearts!

She held the flaming spear and pointed it at the shogunate troops in front of her:

"Inazuma! Before we fight each other, I have something to say. Please listen carefully!"

"Today, we are raising an army not to disobey the general! It's because the general has been deceived by treacherous officials!"

"Today, Inazuma is faced with traitors outside who are trying to overthrow the country, and villains inside who are deceiving their superiors and subordinates! All the people in Inazuma are suffering, worship of gods and curses are erupting one after another, and monsters and thieves are rampant everywhere! The Kujo clan and the Tong clan are the culprits who are destroying the national system!"

Xing's voice was loud and clear.

"We must not allow these treacherous officials to control the country! Inazuma is in a critical situation! That's why we are sending troops! To purge the treacherous officials from the emperor's side and crush the Bugyo group!"

"We are not your enemies! Make way for us! Let us go to see the general! Otherwise - don't blame us for crushing you like a bug!"

"Extremely arrogant!"

A samurai leading the shogunate army was so angry that his mouth was crooked.

"What qualifications do you have to talk about clearing the court? Release the prisoners immediately! And surrender unconditionally! Tianling Fengxing can even spare your lives!"

At this time, the messenger had already brought Kujo Takayuki's order:

"Master Kujo asked you to find a way to rescue the prisoners, but if you can't... you must not be idle just because of these cowards who laid down their weapons and surrendered!"

The shogun nodded, thought for a moment, and continued shouting:

"You cunning rebels, you speak so righteously! But you are still taking the prisoners as hostages!? You don't have the honor of a warrior at all! Everything you say is a lie!"

Xing sneered and waved his flaming spear:

"Rebels! Move forward! Let these guys who have no sense of chivalry see our righteousness!"

The rebels did not hesitate at all to follow Xing's order. They immediately formed a battle line and marched in front of the captives and came to Xing's side. Because they were few in number, their battle line-up consisted of only a few thin rows, which looked pitiful compared to the shogunate army's well-organized formation.

When the shogunate warriors saw this, they were overjoyed and swung their swords without hesitation:

"Now! Shoot!"

The musketeers and archers opened fire on the rebels without much hesitation. If nothing unexpected happened, this round of volleys would be enough to make half of the rebels lose their combat effectiveness.

But the result naturally stunned countless people - the rebels, who numbered only a hundred people and were standing in dense military formations, were like gods descending from heaven, and arrows and bullets hit them, but they were all unharmed.

On the contrary, many of the Shogunate prisoners behind them were hit by ricochets and stray arrows and instantly let out wails, while some who were hit in vital parts fell down without a sound.

The rebel soldiers were a little nervous at first, but after seeing that all the oncoming attacks were ineffective as usual, their morale reached an unprecedented peak.

They shouted Xing's name excitedly, and couldn't wait to fight the Shogunate army under her leadership.
