Fukuda Yasukawa and Ito Taro came and left quickly. Both of them were decisive people. After a brief discussion, they felt that there was no chance of winning around the capital, so they immediately set off with their large troops as soon as it got dark.
Some tents in the military camp were left here, and the torches that needed to be lit were also lit. There were still many soldiers inside, and the gate for retreat was directly locked. Archers were arranged a hundred meters away. If anyone came out from here, they would be shot to death immediately with bows and arrows.
In the history of Fuso, it was a very honorable thing for the wounded and sick to leave the rear. Many people saw that they were injured and had no way to retreat, so they would take the initiative to ask to leave the rear.
But the problem is that these people are unwilling to do so. They still want to go home. Unfortunately, the two generals did not give them a chance and directly locked them in the barracks. Some of those who were injured in the upper body were even stabbed in the lower body in order to keep these people in the barracks.
According to their thinking, when the Tang army behind entered the military camp, the more people there were here, the more time they would have to wait. Even if they wanted to bury all the remaining people in the military camp alive, it would take a certain amount of time.
Moreover, Fukuda Yasukawa also heard that the Tang army had the habit of burying corpses. The more people there were here, the more pits they would need to dig, and we would have more time to go back.
Only the two of them could use the lives of their soldiers as an opportunity to escape, but in Fuso, many people did not think that they did anything wrong. After all, those people were already injured, and there would not be enough medicine to treat them after returning. It would be better to let them use their last bit of energy to hold back the Tang soldiers.
"Hurry up and rush in. Don't be afraid. Most of the people have already left. I think the remaining ones are just bluffing. Anyone who can make me proud will have all kinds of opportunities in the future. Anyone who is afraid now, don't blame me for killing him."
In order to be the first to rush into the military camp, Ohkawa Genzaburo also tried his best to let his men rush forward. Suzuki Nakatasu's army was still behind. If they rushed in, wouldn't our army be the first to achieve the credit?
Suzuki Nakatasu looked down on it altogether. In his opinion, this was just something for a group of warriors to do. He would be in charge of the capital in the future. Even though you have won the first merit now, but you are thinking of competing with us based on such merit, then you are simply underestimating His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. People like you will at most be in charge of a certain area in the future.
After entering the military camp, Ohkawa Genzaburo ordered his men to take away all the usable things, which was a bit petty. As for the wounded and sick, they were all thrown to Suzuki. He didn't have the time to take care of this, he had to continue chasing forward.
"General Da Heyuan, according to the orders of His Highness, we must stop now. We cannot chase the enemy when they are too close to us. Our mission is to follow them and prevent them from stopping, but we cannot engage them either."
Seeing that Ohkawa Genzaburo wanted to rush forward, the Tang Dynasty soldiers came out immediately. This was also Li Xiang's original order. No matter how big your advantage is, if you face the soldiers of those two families, you don't have much chance of winning. Just follow behind honestly. This is your mission this time, and no one can disobey orders.
"Yes, yes, you are right."
Ohkawa Genzaburo was so aggressive just now, but now his expression changed immediately. His subordinates didn't know what to say. When facing us, he was like a tiger, but when facing the Tang Dynasty soldiers, he was like a mouse. Think about it, your ancestors were Fuso nobles after all, so why did they become like this now?
Ohkawa Genzaburo didn't even care if his subordinates were dissatisfied. He knew that they were addicted to being slaves. Although you think being a slave is a bad thing, you have to look at who your master is. That is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he will be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
What's wrong with being his slave? Some people don't even have this opportunity. Don't look at the unremarkable work we do now. If he becomes the emperor in the future, we will have made great contributions. Even if we die at that time, our descendants will also benefit from it.
If his subordinates knew about Ohkawa Genzaburo's train of thought, perhaps they would follow Ohkawa Genzaburo's lead. Unfortunately, they did not have the same vision as him, so in the future distribution of power, they were destined to be Ohkawa Genzaburo's followers.
At the beginning, Fukuda Yasukawa and his men ran for their lives, hoping to return to their hometown as quickly as possible, but they soon found that there was no need to rush. The pursuers behind them were following closely. When we stopped, they also stopped. When we sped up, they also sped up.
I sent spies to check it out and finally understood what was going on. The real Tang army had not caught up. The ones behind us were nothing more than those troops with poor combat effectiveness. At most, they played a surveillance role. If we expected them to actually fight with us, we would have defeated them long ago.
When he knew that there were pursuers behind him, Ito Taro even thought about not robbing the money along the way. No matter how important it was, it was definitely not as important as his own life. The important thing was to return home as soon as possible.
But now he no longer had this idea, because the pursuers behind him were not chasing closely, so the local officials on the road suffered. No matter whether they were local officials or wealthy landlords, the places where Fukuda Yasukawa and Ito Taro passed by were like a swarm of locusts.
Although they also had their own trained armed forces, how could they fight against tens of thousands of troops? These people felt powerless when facing the Tang soldiers, because they knew that no matter how they fought, they could not defeat these Tang soldiers.
But if compared with the bodyguards of these landlords, they are the elite among the elite. We are already full of anger and have no place to vent it. Now we take a few dollars from you, and you dare to draw your swords. We might as well chop you off.
