Sui and Tang Dynasties: You were driven out of Wagang, but you surrendered to Yang Guang and were ma

Chapter 103 Yuwen Chenglong's New Battle Strategy: Combined Battle

"Garlic tower tossed into the mulberry tree!"

Prince Ao Yu, mimicking the manner of the Sui people, nodded to Lü Xiao with a simple and honest smile on his face.

Completely unaware that he had been tricked by Yuwen Chenglong and had become a cheap tool for the enemy's fighting force, he was even happily helping to count the money.

As a son-in-law of Japan, he did not have a happy life after arriving in Japan through marriage.

Not only was he forced to marry an ugly wife, but his daily expenses were also cut, leaving him struggling to make ends meet.

It wasn't until he submitted to the Sui Dynasty that he truly experienced what it meant to be rich.

Not only did they receive a one-time buyout fee of 800 taels of gold, but they also received an additional string of cash for each general they helped kill.

"We've struck it rich!"

Prince Ao Yu was overjoyed and looked at Yuwen Chenglong with gratitude in his eyes, completely unaware of the scheming hidden in the other's eyes.

"OK……"

Looking at the satisfied-looking Ao Yu, Lü Xiao shook his head helplessly. What else could he say?

Since the parties involved are all willing, he has no need to meddle.

"Hahaha, I'm invincible!"

As if injected with adrenaline, Yuwen Chenglong suddenly burst out of the tent, excitedly spinning around several times while cheering.

Force has always been his weakness, but now that he has the humanoid weapon of the Ao Yu, he has finally made up for this deficiency and is extremely confident.

Before long, Li Jing slowly walked into the main tent. Upon seeing this, Yuwen Chenglong immediately rushed forward excitedly.

"Pharmacist, when will the war start again? I can't wait!"

"Almost there, almost there."

Li Jing hesitated for a moment before slowly responding. He always felt that Yuwen Chenglong was acting strangely.

He longed for war, which others avoided at all costs, wishing for war to break out every day.

But on second thought, I can understand.

The Japanese are really easy targets. Now is the perfect time to reap military rewards. If we don't fight now, when will we?

"Very good!"

Yuwen Chenglong was overjoyed, his eyes filled with a desire for battle, as if he were about to rush out and fight at any moment.

Just then, a report came from outside the tent.

It is said that in the distance, towards the capital of Japan, forces are still gathering, seemingly intending to come and fight.

"There really are people who aren't afraid of death."

Lu Xiao remembered that the village in the distance, no, it should be called a stockade, was the capital of the Japanese.

Everyone inside, even those with names, is dead. How can there still be Japanese people who are dissatisfied?

"Your Highness, I'll go and take him down!"

Yuwen Chenglong immediately volunteered, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

This is exactly the situation he's been waiting for. Whenever the Japanese back down, he'll find a reason to start a war, let alone when they've come to him willingly.

"Kill fewer."

"I still need to leave people to mine, so I can't waste manpower."

Lu Xiao wasn't being soft-hearted; he just felt that since the Japanese were going to die anyway, he might as well let them work themselves to death in the mines.

Making good use of waste is the most reasonable way to dispose of it.

"Alright!" Yuwen Chenglong readily agreed, but as he turned to leave the tent, he muttered to himself:

"Let's sacrifice 100,000 to the heavens first, then we can use the rest for mining!"

Upon seeing this, Prince Ao Yu quickly followed, appearing ready to serve at any moment.

In his view, following Yuwen Chenglong would bring him money, and the more actively he fought, the faster he would make money.

Before long, the two led a squad of Red Valiant Army soldiers out of the camp.

Yuwen Chenglong gazed at the dust rising on the distant horizon, raised his arms, and shouted, "Brothers, the time to make our mark has come again! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill them all!"

"This trip to Japan was definitely worthwhile!"

The soldiers of the Red Vanguard Army were all very excited and shouted as they followed closely behind.

In past battles, even if we were to win, they were mostly tough battles, and we might not have been able to achieve an absolute crushing advantage in terms of physique.

But when facing the Japanese, they completely overwhelmed them, killing them with great gusto.

Since landing on the island, the soldiers have not even wanted to leave.

Such an easy opportunity to earn military merits is truly rare.

"Ao Yu, ride this horse."

Yuwen Chenglong led his warhorse over.

This horse was his father Yuwen Shu's beloved steed, of excellent quality. He had secretly ridden it out on his campaigns, and now it was coming in handy.

"Good horse!"

Prince Aoyu immediately took a liking to this fine horse. After looking at his own short and thin Japanese warhorse, he cursed Prince Shotoku in his heart several times.

He was, after all, the Ryukyu prince who came to arrange a marriage alliance, yet Japan wouldn't even provide him with a decent warhorse.

Compared to the treatment received by the Sui Dynasty, it was a world of difference.

"You ride in front, I'll ride behind!"

As Yuwen Chenglong spoke, he had someone bring over a large saddle that had been made overnight. Its design was strange, and it was clearly prepared specifically for the two of them to ride together.

The soldiers of the Chixiao Army standing nearby couldn't help but laugh when they saw Prince Aoyu riding in front of him, with Yuwen Chenglong sitting behind him with his back to him, the two of them pressed tightly together.

However, due to military discipline, he forced himself to suppress it.

They had fought battles their entire lives, and this was the first time they had ever witnessed the absurd scene of two people riding a single horse in battle.

"Sit still!"

Yuwen Chenglong took out a thick chain and had his soldiers tie it around their waists, binding them tightly to prevent them from falling during battle.

Then, he lashed the horse's rump with a whip.

The warhorse, in pain, carried the two men away at breakneck speed.

"Keep up, stop looking!"

Seeing this, Li Jing quickly withdrew his gaze, mounted his horse, and led the rest of his soldiers to follow closely behind.

Yuwen Chenglong always manages to come up with some novel tricks, but fortunately, they don't interfere with the war.

"Today, our minds are united, and we fight side by side!"

Yuwen Chenglong abandoned his usual bright silver spear and grabbed a specially made hook-and-sickle spear with both hands, his tone excited.

Prince Ao Yu used brute force to smash through the Japanese blocking his way, while he used his hook-and-sickle spear to entangle and reap lives from behind.

The battles were exhilarating, even more so than when he fought on the front lines himself.

"This is fun!"

As Pei Yuanqing rode on his warhorse, his eyes lit up at the sight of the two men's unusual fighting style, and the eight-sided plum blossom silver hammer in his hand suddenly lost its appeal.

He suddenly remembered that the reason he hadn't been able to fully enjoy his battles in the past was mostly because his warhorses weren't powerful enough.

Wouldn't it be even better if I could ride on Lü Xiao's neck?

But he quickly put the thought out of his mind.

Whether he can actually ride it is hard to say, but as long as he dares to voice this idea, Lü Xiao will definitely let him taste the Fangtian Halberd without hesitation.

While Li Jing and his men were fighting against the remaining forces of the Japanese, Lü Xiao stayed in the main tent and found a map marking the location of the Japanese gold mine.

The distribution of large and small mineral veins on the map is marked very clearly, and the densely packed mineral deposits are dazzling.

Lü Xiao picked up a brush and began marking the positions, muttering to himself:

"One for Your Majesty, one for me."

"One Ruyi for me, and one for myself."

"One son for me, one for myself."

"I'll have one daughter and one of my own."

Finally, after making a plan, he was satisfied.

It must be said that his allocation was extremely reasonable and convincing.
