Chapter 197 It’s not the Tang army, it’s the Tang people who are coming!
As the ship slowly approached the shore, accompanied by a heavy creaking sound and the deck was lowered, Wu Tianyan, sword in hand, rushed directly towards the nearest few Japanese.
The Japanese had terror written all over their faces. They had been ready to surrender for a long time. They put down their crude weapons and knelt on the ground with a plop. They curled up into a ball and made indistinct pleas for mercy, hoping only that their lives would be spared.
At this moment, Wu Tianyan had only one firm belief in his heart, which was almost paranoid.
That is, from the words of His Majesty the Emperor, one can guess the hidden intention behind it - to make Japan disappear completely from this world, to destroy the country and the race, and to serve as a warning to others.
Anyone who can become the executor of this great "mission" will undoubtedly become a hero in the heart of His Majesty.
Wealth, glory and a bright future will slowly unfold before him.
He raised his sword high, and the muscles in his arm bulged.
With a wave of his hand and a slash of his sword, the sharp blade cut through the necks of the two Japanese without any hindrance. The two heads rolled to the ground with gushing blood.
The warm blood gushed out from the fracture like red fountains, splashing wantonly on the surrounding land.
"Brothers! Kill them all! Kill them all!"
Wu Tianyan's roar, filled with murderous intent, instantly swept across the entire dock.
"Charge!" He roared to the sky again, his voice filled with desire for the future.
"Kill them, kill them mercilessly! Kill your way out!"
While shouting, he rushed towards the Japanese camp in front of him like a wild bull out of control, waving his long sword.
The people behind him still had a trace of hesitation in their eyes, but after witnessing Wu Tianyan's brutal behavior, the long-suppressed desire to kill in their hearts was slowly pulled away by Wu Tianyan.
Their eyes became blazing, and they shouted the word "kill" at the top of their lungs.
Like a group of mad dogs, they pounced on the Japanese on the shore with bared fangs and claws, hacking and killing anyone they saw without any mercy.
The Japanese soldiers looked at this group of Tang people who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, and the little fighting spirit they had in their hearts had long since disappeared.
They knew the huge gap between themselves and the other side, and had planned to give up resistance and surrender in order to survive.
But the group of Tang people in front of them were like butchers who had lost their minds. They completely ignored their intention to surrender and launched a bloody massacre frantically.
In desperation, they could only bite the bullet and rush towards Wu Tianyan and the others.
However, their equipment was extremely shabby. They didn't even have the most basic leather armor. Their thin clothes shivered in the sea breeze.
When the swords of both sides collided with each other, only a crisp and desperate breaking sound was heard. The Japanese sword was like a fragile dead branch, and it was instantly broken into two pieces under the impact of the Tang man's sharp long sword.
Having lost their weapons, they could only watch helplessly as the Tang people's long swords, gleaming with cold light, slashed towards them mercilessly, allowing the Tang people to slaughter them at will.
"Run! These people are crazy!"
Some of the Japanese were shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Hurry back and report!"
Another person also shouted, his voice full of fear and panic.
"They are not human! They kill anyone they see! Run!"
In this bloody massacre, the Japanese left behind hundreds of corpses, which were lying on the ground in all directions. Some of them had incomplete limbs and some were unrecognizable.
But these corpses were just a drop in the bucket for the Tang people's strong murderous intent, which had just been thoroughly aroused. They were far from enough to fill the endless desire for killing deep in their hearts.
Wu Tianyan slowly took out the map of Japan given to him by Wu Shuangquan from his arms.
It was tightly locked on the mark not far ahead, which was the Izumo Province of Japan.
In his disdainful eyes, this so-called Izumo Kingdom, although divided into eleven counties, was dwarfed in scale compared to the prosperous villages of the Tang Dynasty. How could it dare to call itself a county?
However, due to its special geographical location close to the port, the Izumo Kingdom can barely be considered a major power with some weight among the Japanese.
As far as he knew, the population here was more than 30,000, which was considered quite large for a sparsely populated country like Japan.
At this time, Japan had eight small countries, which were divided into counties. Most of these places were firmly controlled by local landlords and powerful people, forming relatively independent and closed spheres of influence.
"Let's go! Izumo Country!" Wu Tianyan carefully put away the map and suddenly raised his head.
Following his order, a team of more than 15,000 people marched towards Izumo Province on foot.
In the provincial governor's residence of Izumo Province, Matsuda Inoue was lying comfortably on the tatami, his eyes slightly closed, immersed in the geisha's graceful dance.
The geisha had a graceful figure and light dance steps, and the fan in her hand danced elegantly in the air.
Matsuda Inoue's face was full of intoxication.
A loud and chaotic commotion came from outside, instantly breaking the originally peaceful atmosphere.
Matsuda Inoue first frowned, an unhappy look on his face, and secretly cursed in his heart who was so bold as to disturb his fun at this time.
But when he vaguely heard the words in the noise, his whole body shook violently and shuddered involuntarily.
The Tang army is coming?
Countless terrible thoughts flashed through his mind instantly. The Tang Dynasty's army was famous and invincible. If they attacked, wouldn't his limited military force be like an egg against a rock?
The first reaction was to pack up quickly, take the valuables at home, flee this place, and run to another small country to avoid the limelight.
Before he could stand up, the county governors of Izumo County and Shenmen County rushed into the room like two headless flies.
"Inoue Kokuji, it's bad! The Tang people are invading!"
There was panic in their voices.
Matsuda Inoue's eyes widened, he glared at the two men fiercely, and scolded them, "Why don't you go and inform the people in the tribe, why are you fighting when the Tang army is here?"
As he spoke, he began to hurriedly pack up the valuables around him. The gold, silver, jewelry, and gorgeous clothes were stuffed into the package.
"I don't want anything else! I don't want anything!" There was helplessness in his voice.
"Let our people run first! Don't worry about those untouchables, just let them die!"
In his heart, those ordinary people were not worth his concern at all. As long as he and his people could escape this disaster, everything else could be abandoned.
The two geishas who were still dancing were frightened by this sudden change. Their legs went limp and they collapsed to the ground. The fans in their hands fell to the side and their eyes were full of helplessness.
They are all women from ordinary Japanese families.
When they heard what Kunishi said, they knew that their family was finished!
"Inoue Kuniji! Those coming are not Tang troops! They are Tang people!" Izumo Gunji said breathlessly.
When Matsuda Inoue heard this, he was stunned for a moment, stopped what he was doing, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is there any difference?"
In his view, whether it was the Tang army or the Tang people, they were all the Tang army. As long as they came to attack them, they would not be able to contend with them.
"Inoue Kuniji! They are not the Tang Dynasty's army! They are a group of Tang Dynasty commoners!" Izumo County Magistrate explained loudly.
"They only have a little over a thousand pieces of leather armor!"
After hearing what Izumo Gunji said, Matsuda Inoue slowly put down what he was holding, and the expression on his face became complicated, with a mixture of relief, confusion and worry.
He began to weigh the pros and cons in his mind, wondering what kind of strength these common people of the Tang Dynasty had.
