Chapter 194: After the Plague, the Japanese mainland is deserted
Hearing this, King Yuenan felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. He knew that he was completely finished.
He collapsed to the ground helplessly, his eyes filled with despair.
Chu Yang ignored him and turned around to give an order: "Pass the order down, organize the troops, target - Japan!"
"Yes!"
that's it.
The mighty Great Zhou fleet braved the wind and waves and sailed towards the Japanese Islands.
Chu Yang looked at the vast sea, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
"Your Highness, are you worried about the plague in Japan?"
A familiar voice sounded in his ears. Chu Yang turned around and saw Zhou Yu standing behind him in a white robe, holding a feather fan.
"Yes, the last time I went to Japan, the horrific scene of the plague is still vivid in my mind."
Chu Yang sighed, "Although some time has passed, no one knows whether the plague has really dissipated."
"Haha, Your Highness, you worry too much."
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "According to the information we received, the plague ended several months ago."
"In Japan right now, only a few people can survive, and there is no military force at all. Our army can easily win a great victory!"
"I hope so."
Chu Yang nodded, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if he had overlooked something.
"Report!"
at this time.
A scout ran over quickly, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Your Highness, we found an island ahead, and it seems that there are Japanese troops stationed on the island!"
"Oh? It seems that Japan is not completely powerless to resist."
Chu Yang raised his lips with a cold smile, "Pass the order down, all troops on alert, prepare for landing and fighting!"
Following Chu Yang's order, the Great Zhou fleet slowly sailed towards the island.
However, when they got closer to the island and saw the scene clearly, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
The scene on the island was like hell on earth.
The scene before us didn't look like a military base at all, it was clearly a living hell!
Countless Japanese people in ragged clothes, skinny and bony, wandered around the island like zombies.
Their eyes were empty, and they were even willing to fight each other like wild beasts in order to grab a piece of moldy steamed bun.
Among these people, one could also see some Japanese soldiers wearing tattered armor. They were also pale and thin, but they were waving their weapons and wantonly bullying the unarmed people.
"This...what the hell is going on?"
The soldiers standing behind Chu Yang were all shocked by the scene before them. They had never seen such a tragic scene in the world, and they couldn't help but feel a little compassion in their hearts.
"It seems that the impact of this plague on Japan is more serious than we thought."
Chu Yang looked at the hell on earth in front of him and said in a cold tone.
"Your Highness, how should we deal with these Japanese soldiers?"
Zhou Yu looked at the soldiers who were bullying the people and asked.
"Kill them all."
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "These Japanese soldiers are no different from the civilians. They are just a bunch of walking corpses."
"Pass the order down, the army continues to advance, the target is - the cities in Japan!"
"Yes!"
Following Chu Yang's order, the Great Zhou fleet slowly approached the shore, and countless soldiers poured onto the island like a tide.
When the Japanese soldiers saw the Great Zhou army, they not only had no intention of resisting, but were so scared that they fell to the ground, trembling like dogs that had lost their homes.
They had witnessed with their own eyes the horrific scene when the Great Zhou army landed last time, and had personally experienced the torture of the plague in the past few months. They had long lost the will to fight.
"Spare your life! Spare your life!"
"We surrender! We surrender!"
"Please don't kill me! I don't want to die!"
Those Japanese soldiers knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
However, Chu Yang ignored their pleas for mercy and just said this coldly.
"Kill them all and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
"Yes!"
Following Chu Yang's order, the Japanese soldiers kneeling on the ground were ruthlessly killed by the soldiers of the Great Zhou.
Looking at the bloody scene before them, the Japanese people did not show any fear in their eyes, but instead showed an expression of numbness.
In their view.
Death might be a relief, at least one no longer has to endure the torture of hunger and plague.
Chu Yang ignored those people.
Instead, he led a group of generals and headed towards the Japanese mainland.
along the way.
Dead bodies and looted houses could be seen everywhere, and the entire island of Japan was filled with an atmosphere of despair.
"Your Highness, it seems that Japan is completely ruined."
Zhou Yu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, after the last war, coupled with the harm done by Yuenan Country, Japan will no longer exist."
Chu Yang nodded, without any fluctuation in his tone.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Chu Yang sneered, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "What should we do? Of course, we should completely flatten this land and make Japan a thing of the past!"
He waved his hand and pointed forward, "Pass the order down, the army will rest for three days. After three days, the target will be the entire territory of Japan!"
"Yes!"
All the generals responded in unison, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
They knew that they had made a huge profit in the last war with Japan.
And now that they come again, Japan has no power to resist, so they can make a fortune easily!
Three days later.
The 600,000-strong army of the Great Zhou, like a black torrent, set out from the coastline of the East Japan Island and swept in all directions.
Chu Yang stood on a hillside, looking at the mighty army, but his expression was not so good.
An army of 600,000! The daily consumption of food and fodder is an astronomical figure.
"Your Highness,"
Xun Yu, who was standing by, seemed to see Chu Yang's worry and said, "With an army of 600,000, the daily consumption of food and grass is huge, and the transportation of food and grass has to pass through the entire South China Sea. If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen!"
Chu Yang waved his hand, interrupting Xun Yu's words, "Don't worry, sir. I have my own plans."
He turned around and said loudly to the generals behind him, "Sima Yi, Xing Daorong!"
"The general is here!"
Sima Yi and Xing Daorong immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"You two will lead an army of 200,000 soldiers all the way north to clear the way!"
Chu Yang's eyes flashed coldly, "Remember, don't bring any food or fodder, grab them! Kill all the Japanese without mercy! No one will be spared!"
"The last general takes command!"
Sima Yi and Xing Daorong responded in unison with a glimmer of excitement in their eyes.
"Wang Meng, Pan Feng!"
Chu Yang named two more generals.
"The general is here!"
Wang Meng and Pan Feng stepped forward immediately.
"You two will lead an army of 200,000 and march along the coast!"
Chu Yang pointed at the coastline of Japan on the map and said, "Block all ports. Kill any Japanese who dare to escape!"
