Okamoto, the deputy general of the Chinese Army, came over and said, "General, it's getting late."
"How about you go and rest first? I will keep an eye on you at Lu Zuo Academy."
As soon as Okamoto mentioned rest, Tsukamoto Taro couldn't help but yawned greatly.
These days, he has been either urging his men to hurry up or personally directing the battle, and his energy has long been exhausted.
If Ishikawa Taki hadn't been keeping an eye on him and the location of Luzuo Academy was so important, he would have been lying on the bed and fast asleep.
I glanced at the hourglass and saw that it was indeed very late.
Tsukamoto Taro raised his head and looked to the west.
As always, artillery fire was still flying on the battlefield, and the sound of killing was loud.
The night was as dark as ink, but the soldiers on both sides ignored the darkness and still struggled to cross and reverse the river.
You won't see any results for a while.
Ha~~
Unconsciously, Tsukamoto yawned loudly again.
He rubbed his stiff face and said, "That's all, I am indeed a little tired."
"Remember," he stared at Okamoto and warned word by word, "the frontline attack must not stop until Luzuo Academy is captured."
"Yes!" Gangai responded with his chest raised.
"Very good." Tsukamoto Taro nodded with satisfaction, "Then keep an eye on it and if anything happens, ask the bodyguard to wake me up."
"My subordinate understands." Okauchi smiled, "But I'm afraid the general is overly worried. If something happens, it will happen on the other side of the river. What can happen to us?"
"That's right." Tsukamoto Taro was extremely sleepy and gave a few more instructions before quickly returning to camp to sleep.
He slept until the afternoon of the next day.
If his stomach hadn't been growling with hunger, Tsukamoto Taro probably wouldn't have been able to get up.
"What time is it now?" he asked the guard next to him while stuffing something into his mouth.
"Go back to the general, it's midnight now and it's going to be dark soon."
"It's dark?" Tsukamoto Taro was surprised, "I have slept for so long!"
"How's the fight at Lu Zuo Academy going?" he asked hurriedly.
"This..." The little guard's face looked a little ugly.
"General, under the command of General Okamoto, the brothers built the bridge more than ten times in total, but..."
So far, I still haven’t been able to get Luzuo Academy.
"What?" Tsukamoto Taro stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.
boom.
He put down the bowl in his hand and said, "Thirty thousand versus three thousand. This day and night has passed, and you still haven't captured the other side?"
"What on earth do so many people in front of you do to eat?"
The little guard was frightened when he heard this.
"General, calm down. The brothers have reached as far as the gate of Lu Zuo Academy, but unfortunately they were killed back by Lin Hanmo himself."
"But General Okamoto said that even their generals have begun to take action personally, which means that the other side has almost reached the end of its war effort. I believe that if we build the bridge again, we can defeat Luzuo Academy."
Tsukamoto Taro's expression softened slightly.
He sat down and picked up the bowl again.
"Where's the riprap unit I'm about to catch? How many have been caught?"
"This..." The little guard hesitated, hesitating to speak.
Taro Tsukamoto heard something strange and couldn't help but raise his head and stare at him, his eyes as cold as frost.
A chill ran down the little guard's back, and his mouth suddenly became smoother.
"Back to the general, most of the enemy's trebuchet positions are located in the mountains behind Lu Zuo Academy, and the brothers have not been able to get close yet."
Let alone knock it down.
What?
Tsukamoto Taro was so angry that he slapped the table hard.
"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense."
He was mentally prepared for not being able to grab all the trebuchets.
As a result, let alone grabbing, Okamoto didn't even touch the edge of the opponent's position.
For a moment, Tsukamoto Taro's eyes turned red with anger, and the food on the table no longer tasted good.
He stood up with a cry, walked straight out of the camp, and climbed up to the watchtower with murderous intent.
Look up.
On the Luzuo River, the Japanese pirate soldiers were still building the bridge like ants moving.
But this time, instead of one building, we built three.
It’s just that the bridge-building technology of this era was very difficult. Whether a bridge can be built depends on the width of the river.
As long as the river is wider, the bridge usually cannot be built.
Therefore, although all three bridges are under construction, only the one in the middle connecting the post road is being repaired the fastest, and the attack and defense at the bridge ends on both sides are also the most intense.
snort.
Tsukamoto Taro snorted coldly, his face as dark as ink.
If it weren't for the two unfinished bridges up and down the river, everything in front of us would be exactly the same as yesterday.
He had promised Ishikawa Taki that he would capture Luzuo Academy today.
If Dinghai Pier sends someone over again to ask about the battle situation...
"Send a message to Okamoto," Tsukamoto Taro was so angry that his teeth chattered, "If he can't defeat Luzuo Academy by midnight tonight, he doesn't have to come back."
"Yes!" The guards next to him looked at each other, and after regaining their composure, they quickly spread the word.
Okamoto, who was supervising the battle at the front, received the news and was so upset that he wanted to vomit blood.
There were countless lieutenants around the general, and everyone else was keeping safe, but he was the one who got hot-headed and came forward to ask for a fight.
As a result, not only did he not get any credit for his work, but he was ruined and might even be killed.
He looked up at the dim sky, and his heart felt even colder.
There is not much time left for yourself.
I don’t know how long it took,
Wow.
There was a burst of warm cheers from the front, and the bridge connecting the East and West Post Road was once again repaired.
Okamoto was heartbroken and pulled out his sword.
"Guards, follow me!"
He didn't believe it.
————
Luzuo Academy, watchtower.
Lu Yulong, Lin Hanmo and Xia Bang sat carelessly around a small table, chatting and throwing some broad beans into their mouths from time to time to kill time.
At this time, the guard who had been staring ahead put down his telescope.
"Three generals, the bridge on the post road is about to be repaired by Japanese pirates again."
oh?
Lu Yulong calmly turned his head and glanced at the hourglass.
"It's time, you two, we have been dragging this big fish Ishikawa Taki for another hour."
Ha ha.
Lin Hanmo and Xia Bangwei laughed loudly.
Ishikawa Taki is so cunning.
He huddled at Dinghai Pier and refused to step into the mainland. At the same time, he had people and boats in his hands.
If he discovers something is wrong, he will probably abandon everything and immediately board the ship and go to sea.
By then, the sea will be vast and boundless. Even if there are many barrier ships in the East China Sea, I am afraid they will be unable to block it.
Therefore, it is better to give a little hope to Taro Tsukamoto on the opposite side and Taki Ishikawa behind him, letting them think that Luzuo Academy is in danger of falling, and they can break through it if they work harder, and then they can march straight in.
"Do you want to continue playing this cat and mouse game with Ishikawa Taki?" Lu Yulong asked.
Chabon remained silent, stood up and looked in the direction of the windmill.
"General Lu's windmill has not arrived yet. It will probably take some time for the East China Sea Barrier to block the East China Sea. Let's wait a little longer."
"Okay." Lu Yulong and Lin Hanmo naturally had no objection.
Chabon raised his telescope and took another look.
Tsk tsk.
He felt: "The Japanese pirates are coming, and there are quite a lot of them this time."
"Since the Dingxi counterattack last year, I haven't done anything for a long time. Now I feel very itchy. Why don't I go down and chop for General Lin this time?"
Lu Yulong and Lu Yulong were not surprised. They looked at each other and nodded, saying, "Then go ahead."
As for him, in order to catch the big fish Ishikawa Taki, Naru Yulong's general flag cannot show up yet.
