Chapter 121: Lure the enemy deep into our territory? Toyotomi Hideyoshi miscalculated
Just when Chu Yang and others thought that the battle was over, on the sea not far from the 'Hailong' warship, an inconspicuous small Japanese boat was quietly sailing away into the distance.
Inside the cabin of the boat, a Japanese ninja in a black nightgown was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a pale face.
On his chest, there was a shocking wound, which was still oozing blood.
"Cough cough..."
The ninja coughed violently a few times, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the board in front of him red.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that the Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou would have such a master by his side. This mission actually failed!"
The ninja raised his head with difficulty, and looked through the gap in the cabin at the huge "Sea Dragon" warship in the distance. A hint of resentment and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
the other side.
The coastal border of Japan.
The sea breeze, with its salty smell, blew away Toyotomi Hideyoshi's anxious mood.
He paced back and forth like a beast trapped in a cage, his sharp eyes constantly scanning the end of the sea level.
"Damn Chu Yang! What the hell is he doing?!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi cursed with gritted teeth. He had been waiting here for a long time, but there was still no sign of Chu Yang's army.
He originally planned to use the remnant soldiers of Ghost Island as bait to lure Chu Yang's lone army deep into the territory, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Even if Chu Yang didn't fall for it, the ninja assassins lurking around him could force him to take action, then wait for an opportunity to escape and lead him into an ambush that had been set up long ago.
However, reality slapped him hard in the face.
The remaining soldiers from Ghost Island that were sent to harass were completely wiped out without causing any waves. And those lurking ninjas...
"Could it be that they all failed?!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
at this time.
A blood-stained figure stumbled into the tent. It was the ninja leader in charge of this assassination mission.
He knelt on one knee and said in a hoarse voice: "Report to the general, the mission has failed..."
"what?!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi stood up suddenly, grabbed the ninja by the collar, and shouted: "Didn't you say it was foolproof?! Where are the others? Why are you the only one back?!"
The ninja raised his head with difficulty, his face full of fear: "General, Chu Yang is surrounded by many experts, we are no match for him, those brothers are all dead."
"Trash! They are all a bunch of trash!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi threw the ninja to the ground, furious.
He never imagined that his carefully planned plan would fail so completely.
"Chu Yang...what on earth do you want to do?!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi clenched his fists, his eyes burning with rage.
The ninja struggled to get up from the ground and said in a trembling voice: "General, Chu Yang's army did not pursue the remnants of Ghost Crying Island, but stayed put."
"What's the meaning of keeping your troops in place?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi roared impatiently.
"They seem to only want to defend the South China Sea coast and have no intention of attacking Japan."
"what?!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was stunned.
Just thinking about defending the South China Sea coast?
What does it mean?
Could it be that Chu Yang had never thought of attacking Japan, and that he had put so much effort into recruiting soldiers and building warships, but his ultimate goal was just to protect himself? !
"Damn it! What on earth is Chu Yang planning?"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was puzzled. He scratched his hair in annoyance and felt a fog in front of his eyes, unable to see the direction clearly.
"Somebody come!"
Toyotomi Hideyoshi suddenly raised his head and shouted outside the tent.
"What are your orders, General?"
A deputy general immediately responded and walked in.
"Find me a thousand people who can read, and write letters! Write a thousand letters to express friendship with Chu Yang, and send them to the Great Zhou Palace!"
A hint of viciousness flashed in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes, "I want to see whether this Chu Yang is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid!"
"Yes!"
The deputy general took the order and left, leaving Toyotomi Hideyoshi alone in the tent, looking at the map with a gloomy face.
He thought that since he couldn't win on the battlefield, he would try to attack the enemy's mind.
After all, the struggle for the throne within the Great Zhou is already shaky.
the other side.
When Chu Yang saw Toyotomi Hideyoshi's actions along the coast of the South China Sea, a sneer appeared on his face.
He didn't expect that even though he occupied Devil's Crying Island, Toyotomi Hideyoshi could still remain calm!
"Your Highness, what is this Japanese man up to? Why is he ignoring us with his eyes wide open instead of fighting a good war?"
Pan Feng was impatient and couldn't help asking.
Chu Yang shook his head and put down the telescope in his hand. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not a good man. He is waiting for an opportunity to show our flaws so that he can take us down in one fell swoop!"
"Then what should we do? We can't just stay here forever, right?"
Xing Daorong said in a muffled voice that he had been itching to do something and wanted to rush to Japan immediately to twist off Toyotomi Hideyoshi's head and kick it like a ball.
"Waste time? Of course not!"
Chu Yang's eyes flashed coldly, "Since he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!"
He stood up suddenly and ordered loudly: "Pass the order down, have Qiongzhou send troops to capture all the islands along the South China Sea in one fell swoop!"
"Your Highness, this..."
Sima Yi hesitated. "We haven't surveyed the sea area thoroughly yet. Wouldn't it be too risky to send troops rashly?"
"Sir, don't worry. I don't think Toyotomi Hideyoshi is ready to send troops."
Chu Yang explained, "Although these islands may seem insignificant, they are the only way for Japan to trade with the countries in the South China Sea."
"As long as we control these islands, we will cut off Japan's spies! At the same time, they can also serve as a channel for us to transport food."
"By then, Toyotomi Hideyoshi will be unable to sit still even without us doing anything!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and praised him.
"There's no time to lose, let's get ready now!"
Xing Daorong could no longer hold back and left as ordered.
For a time, the war reignited along the coast of the South China Sea, and the shouts of killing were deafening on each island, and a series of brutal battles began.
Zhao Yun took the lead and led the White Dragon warship like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the heart of the enemy.
His shooting skills were sharp and his moves were deadly. Wherever he passed, Japanese soldiers fell into the water like dumplings.
Xing Daorong held a mountain-splitting axe in his hand, with great force and power, and every blow of the axe could scare the enemy into submission.
Zhou Yu was stationed on Shuiyun Island, commanding the Black Shark Army in a fierce battle with the Japanese navy.
For a time, the Japanese navy was confused and the initiative on the battlefield was completely seized.
Seeing the frequent good news, there was no trace of joy on Chu Yang's face.
He had a vague feeling in his heart that things might not be that simple.
