Chapter 857: Oda Nobunaga's Desperate gamble
"Have you located the position of the Han general?" Oda Nobunaga asked Amaterasu, who was relieved.
"Yes! In the direction of the north gate!"
Amaterasu was a little dissatisfied with the attitude of Oda Nobunaga when talking to her, but this was not the time to dwell on it. They were all in the same boat now, and it would not benefit anyone if they turned against each other now.
"Organize the army and march!" Oda Nobunaga threw his cloak and strode out.
"To survive after being in danger, you are truly strong..." Amaterasu's eyes revealed murderous intent, but she quickly restrained it and then walked out.
Relying on the dual verification of the power of the sun and the core of the divine land, he locked Guo Hao's position among thousands of troops. Just as Yue Fei said, they would not give up this only chance to turn the tables.
"Amaterasu..." Yue Du wanted to say something but was interrupted by Amaterasu.
"We have no way out, right?" Amaterasu looked at Yue Du solemnly. "If Takama-ga-hara is gone, we can still rebuild it, but if we really lose, then we will lose everything!"
Yue Du sighed and nodded. He knew that what Amaterasu said was the reality.
"Let's go!"
Amaterasu shook her head and walked out. Yue Du stayed there for a while and then followed.
Izanagi and Izanami followed silently. Even though they were once the original gods of the divine land, the highest god now was Amaterasu, and they could only obey Amaterasu's orders.
…
"I feel like the resistance isn't as strong as I imagined..."
Yue Fei looked at the attack and defense battle on the city wall solemnly. The resistance from the Japanese side seemed quite weak. They had not yet sent out their elite troops, but the Japanese rebels alone had already begun to gradually occupy the city wall.
"Could it be that what Kong Ming said came true?" Yue Fei frowned. According to his speculation, Japan might indeed do this, but the general's safety should be safe.
Zhuge Liang, who was in the center of the army, also discovered this. Before they started to fight seriously, the city wall was almost taken.
"Pass the order down, order the original reserve troops Jiang Wei, Wei Yan and other troops to join the battle, general attack!"
After thinking for a moment, Zhuge Liang directly ordered a strong attack. No matter what Japan's plan was, this city was still the enemy's lifeline. As long as this city was taken, Japan's last line of defense would be broken and everything would be over.
"Order the South Gate Formation to join the battle and start attacking the city!"
"Send a message to the other leaders of the military soul corps, and lead the corps to move closer to the general!"
Zhuge Liang, who was worried, directly issued a support order. There was nothing wrong with using the general as bait, but if the bait was really gone, no one present would be able to escape.
Zhuge Liang's order was quickly conveyed to the commanders of various legions.
"Huh? It's our turn so soon?"
Wei Yan was a little surprised when he looked at the order in his hand. He thought he could only be a spectator today and clean up the battlefield later. He didn't expect that he would be able to join the battle not long after the war started.
"Brothers, let's go!"
However, the order was real. After verification, Wei Yan didn't think too much about it and directly prepared his troops and headed towards the city wall.
Although Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others had the same doubts, they did not question it at all and directly led their troops to attack the city.
The pressure on the defenders of the three walls of Japan doubled instantly. The elite troops sent by the Han Dynasty this time were all real elites, all of whom were double-talented legions.
"Long live Amaterasu!"
Just when the miscellaneous soldiers and regular soldiers on the city wall began to collapse completely, the hidden power of Japan was finally forced out.
There is no other way. If we don’t take action, the city wall will change hands. By then, the Han army, which already has the advantage, can control them more easily.
The light of the sun shone from the hands of the last priests of Amaterasu's temple. The light was attached to the soldiers, causing their basic qualities to increase rapidly.
Amaterasu directly gave up one-third of the core of the divine homeland and dedicated it to let the temple priests start a blood sacrifice ceremony in order to greatly enhance the function of cannon fodder.
At the same time, on the other side, Yue Du's believers, who had been well prepared, also began the ceremony.
Thanks to the return of Izanagi and Izanami from the underworld, one of their most secret techniques was able to be released.
The sun's light gradually turned into blood red, and the injured Japanese soldiers enveloped by it instantly went into a frenzy and began to fight back frantically.
This is also the reason why the Japanese side did not take the initiative. At least they had to put the Han army on the city wall so that the secret technique could be put to use. Otherwise, these frenzied soldiers would just mindlessly fall down the city wall, and they would just die in vain.
"This kind of evil magic again!" Zhuge Liang's expression remained unchanged. They had become accustomed to it. When they were on a strange road, these crazy and ambitious people would always cross the bottom line of being a human being.
They had some experience of this when they fought against Goryeo, and now it is just a re-enactment of the classic.
"No wonder they prepared so many cannon fodders. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid we will suffer a blow next. Resurrection of the dead? It's really a method that is not worthy of being shown on the table." Sima Yi said with a sneer.
Just as Sima Yi had expected, the corpses on the battlefield began to deform, and human-shaped shadows stood up one after another.
"It's just a trick! You can't turn the tables with this trick!"
Zhuge Liang waved his hand. The reason why evil magic is called evil magic is that it consumes a lot of energy, has little effect and is extremely inhumane. For an empire that follows the upright path, they are all petty tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the table.
Back then, Goryeo sacrificed millions of people, but was still easily crushed. The gap in strength cannot be bridged by your sorcery.
"Let the troops withdraw first? No..." Sima Yi was just saying this when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. "Oh no, the enemy's purpose is to delay time!"
Zhuge Liang nodded. He also guessed the intention of Japan's evil magic, which was to delay the Han army's attack on the city as much as possible and waste their time.
"Sure enough, the target is still the general?"
Sima Yi glanced at . He had thought that Zhuge Liang's previous caution was a big mistake. Now he realized that Zhuge Liang had already calculated this.
"The chance for Japan to turn the tables lies only with the general. I'm just taking precautions!" Zhuge Liang said calmly when he saw Sima Yi's strange expression.
He is not a real god, so how could he calculate so far ahead, and even a few steps ahead of a smart man like Sima Yi? That is unrealistic.
He was just being cautious and preparing for the worst, but now it seems that it was indeed a brilliant move.
Perhaps one military soul plus a miracle legion cannot be as stable as Mount Tai, but four military soul legions plus a miracle legion are enough to walk sideways on any battlefield in the world.
