With the reputation of being victorious in every battle, before the army even conquered Yiyu County, the pledges of allegiance from the clans had already flown over like snowflakes.
With this, Zhang Xuan did not have to worry about becoming enemies with all the powerful clans when he first stepped into Dayuan County. Along the way, he would not have to worry about the situation where he would have to defend the city to the death.
However, Wu Ming did not have a good impression of these local rich families and people who were like grass on the wall.
If they were enemies, he could still kill and burn them down. However, this made it difficult for him to do it now.
Among these people, there were definitely spies and death warriors. Furthermore, the normal family supervisors of the rich clans were not kind people. If they saw that the situation was not good for him, they might even betray him.
By then, the fortifications along the way would become the gates of hell!
"Pass down the order. These surrendered clans must send their family supervisors or eldest sons to our army as hostages. Also, the rich clans of Yiyu County must mobilize the Ashigaru to join the army after the arrival of the main family. They must also hand over the control of the fortifications along the way. If they do not agree, we will just flatten them!"
"Although the conditions are a little harsh, I think they should know what to choose!"
Kanosuke Yamanaka smiled bitterly and answered.
"Yijing, what about the army?"
Guiyi Yijing immediately answered, "After this incident, the surrendered clans have all mobilized the Ashigaru. They have unified command and training. Now, they have formed a new army of 2,000 people!"
"Very good! I will promote you to be the Great General, and give you the command of 1,500 Iron Artillery and Taekwondo. I hope you will not disappoint me! "
"Ha!"
Guiyi Yijing knelt on the ground, looking excited, "Are we going to fight the Yiyu Clan?"
"That's right..."
Wu Ming smiled and nodded, "The Yiyu Clan is indeed the king of the Izumo Country. They have a strong capital. Even though my clan defeated 3,000 Ashigaru, they still managed to mobilize 8,000 people in such a short time!"
However, there was one thing that Wu Ming did not mention. The Ashigaru were easy to replenish, but the loss of the two Swordmaster and the Jounin, as well as the team of priests, was a huge blow that could not be made up for.
"Hey! Eight thousand people! If they had all holed up in Stream City, I might have had a headache, but now they wanted to fight me? Then let's fulfill their wishes and send them all to hell! "
Wu Ming looked towards the northeast with excitement in his eyes. "Pass down my order. Enter Yiyu County and give the Yiyu Clan a perfect farewell ceremony!"
…
Seven days later.
Yiyu Commandery, above the flowing plains.
This was the most fertile land in Yiyu Prefecture, and there was even a large river that flowed through it. It was called Chuan Liu, and it was the tallest in the Yun Nation. The headquarters of the Yiyu Clan, Chuan Liu City, was also located there.
Wu Ming was like a hot knife through butter as he led his five thousand men to face off against the eight thousand Yiyu Clan's army.
"A battle involving more than ten thousand people? This level is enough for the history of the Yun Nation to be passed down. Even the entire Fu Sang world would be shocked to hear about it, right? "
Wu Ming's eyes flickered. "Moreover, the military aura of this large army is enough to suppress the unorthodox sects and manifest the phenomenon!"
He immediately opened his Heavenly Eye and saw traces of black military aura rising from the enemy's formation. There was a red light in the middle, and a few rays of starlight shot out, forming a strange snake with two heads and two tails. It was completely black, and its eyes were red. It flicked its red tongue.
"Is it really a simplified version of Yamata no Orochi?"
When Wu Ming saw this, he almost burst out laughing. "The way to lead an army is to unify the orders and enforce them. This two-headed and two-tailed snake divides the power in two. It looks like it's nothing."
"I've long heard that the Yiyu Clan's supervisor, Yiyu Xiuzhong, and the elder, Yiyu Xiuci, are at odds with each other and are fighting for power. It seems that it's indeed the case!"
He looked at his own luck. It was also a black snake, but its body was solid, and its scales were shining. It only had one head, and there was a small bulge on the top of its head. It looked like it was about to grow horns and spit out poisonous fangs, ready to devour people.
"If a snake grows horns, it will become a horned dragon. I only have two counties now. This is too much. It's more like unifying the entire Yun Nation! I'm afraid this is the change brought about by Guiyi Yijing, right? "
Luck was the manifestation of one's strength! Other than the descendants of heavenly nobles, everyone first had strength, then luck! Now that he saw it, Wu Ming had an idea.
Although the outcome of a war could not be determined by luck alone, under the situation where his side had the advantage, and he had generals such as Kanosuke Yamanaka and Guiyi Yijing, how could he be weaker than the enemy?
He immediately smiled coldly and was about to urge the army to attack. Mochizuki Kotaro suddenly came. "My Lord, there's an urgent report from the rear!"
"Oh?"
Wu Ming's eyebrows twitched, and a bad feeling surfaced in his heart. He took a look. "The Iishi District was attacked by experts, and Ozu Hayakichi died in battle? Tachibana Shigesuke was heavily injured? It seems to be the work of the Mōri Family's ninjas? Are they trying to mess up my rear? "
In that instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind. "With my arrangements in the Iishi District, ordinary ninjas are useless, unless it's a Level 3 Jonin … No! Even if it's a Jonin, I'm afraid … Ye Bai! "
Thinking of this, Wu Ming shuddered. "I didn't expect you to still be hiding in the Mōri Family!"
Thinking of this, he almost wanted to fly back to kill his enemies, but he forcefully suppressed the urge. "Hehe … But no matter what, you would never have imagined that I would move so quickly, right? If the news of the rear being attacked came during the bitter battle in Dayuan Prefecture, the Mōri Family would probably be in chaos, and their hegemony would collapse in an instant. But now … "
After five years of farming, with the magical power of his Aura Gazing Technique and the great luck of Guiyi Yijing, he had recruited more talents than just one Kanosuke Yamanaka.
There were even a few "Wang Zuo Talents" who were not inferior to Tachibana Shigesuke. They had formed an administrative team and established a system. Once one was killed, another would be replaced immediately. This was not something that could be solved by assassinating the leader.
"But since the Mōri Family could make a move, even if the Five Dragons City did not fall, it would not be far from it!"
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but a smile appeared on Wu Ming's face. He laughed and said, "Good news! The Mōri Family suffered a great defeat in the rear, and the Dazoji Family, who allied with us, has occupied the Anyi Country. Spread this news to the high-level warriors, and then send the army out! "
Even though the Iishi District was littered with corpses, and the Moon Mountain Futian City had fallen, they had to kill the enemies on the opposite side first!
Wu Ming's eyes were burning with ferocity and determination.
"Kill!"
Amidst the beating of the Tai Drum, the two armies moved slowly.
"Iron Artillery! Fire! "
Guiyi Yijing was the vanguard. With a wave of his hand, the Iron Cannon shot out flames, and dozens of Ashigaru fell.
"Raise the shields!"
Among the Yiyu Clan, a warrior shouted. Dozens of Ashigaru stepped forward and raised their shields, which were made of heavy bamboos. They withstood the bombardment of the Iron Cannon and launched an attack.
"After a few times, the Yiyu Clan has also thought of a way to resist!"
Seeing this, Guiyi Yijing did not panic. After all, the Fire Scroll that he had learned was not so simple. "Big guns, ignite!"
Boom!
More than a dozen Iron Cannons roared at the same time. After a loud noise, more than a dozen iron cannons fell into the Yiyu Clan's formation and exploded. Blood and flesh were everywhere, and even the ground was shaking.
Even though they had given repeated orders and were mentally prepared, the samurai and Ashigaru were still stunned, and their formation was slightly scattered.
"Now is the time! Iron Artillery! Fire! Three consecutive shots, don't stop! "
Guiyi Yijing shouted at the top of his lungs. Kanosuke Yamanaka, who was at the rear, commanded the Ashigaru with bamboo spears and the samurai with katanas to start the attack.
Bang!
Two torrents collided fiercely. In an instant, the sounds of killing and roars, accompanied by the white smoke from the Iron Cannon and the roar of the big guns, violently mixed together.
"The traditional daimyo army is just like this. The 1,500 Ashigaru from the main clan are doing quite well!"
Wu Ming watched the battlefield nervously. After all, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the Yiyu Clan's army was 3,000 more than theirs!
However, from the looks of it, the situation was not bad. At least, the Gui Yi Army was slowly gaining the upper hand.
Ta ta!
At this moment, the enemy finally could not hold it in any longer. A group of over 200 Green Cavalry charged out from the main formation.
"The Youth Reserve Corps of the Yiyu Clan? They have really used all their trump cards now! "
Wu Ming smiled and sat on the horse. "Kanosuke Yamanaka, you have full command! Ghost Team 1, follow me and attack! "
"Yes!"
Kenichi Matsushita replied loudly and got on the horse with Wu Ming. In an instant, hundreds of cavalry charged out, and their momentum was astonishing.
If it wasn't for the Youth Reserve Corps and the contribution from the powerful clans of Dayuan Prefecture, they might not have been able to collect these hundreds of war horses.
"Target, the enemy cavalry, charge!"
Wu Ming, who was wearing a black armor, roared out an order.
He knew his own strength, and his talent in military command was only average. He only relied on a few small inventions to flaunt his power for a while. When it came to commanding a battle of this level, he was still inferior to a high-level talent like Yamanaka Shiinosuke, who had the tools of a great general.
But what he was best at was his strength and Dao techniques!
"Ninth Heaven Gale, bless me, Imperial Order!"
The body of a Perfected Person could already suppress the blood flow on the battlefield. At this moment, he forcefully cast the spell, and a gentle breeze enveloped the Ghost Team 1, instantly increasing their speed by 30%!
Suddenly, the cavalry on both sides increased their speed by 30%! What did this mean?
Bam!
In an instant, the Ghost Team 1 charged into the Youth Reserve Corps' cavalry like a tank, and blood and flesh filled the sky.
"Haha … Charge with me!"
The Wind Magic Cut in Wu Ming's hand flashed with electric light, and it swept through the enemy cavalry's heads.
In the past five years, not only had he stabilized his Perfected Dao technique, but his martial arts had also reached the Grandmaster Realm!
At this moment, every slash was filled with the utmost control of strength, and it even gave Wu Ming a feeling of 'mastery'.
The moment the Winddemon Cut came into contact with the armor of the enemy cavalrymen, Zhang Xuan would be able to discern the other party's stamina and cultivation, as well as the flaws and cracks in the armor. With this, he would be able to kill the enemy with the least amount of effort!
