Chapter 474 468. Stalemate
"Den!"
Although the two men did not speak the same language, Fu Rong and Jian Yulei each understood the fanaticism and bellicosity in each other's eyes. There was no need for them to communicate, and they just fought each other move by move.
Although Jian Yulei has never learned martial arts systematically, he has developed a set of martial arts through years of fighting and practice. There are some rules in his spear wielding, but of course more of it depends on his reaction ability and strength.
On the other side, Fu Zhun's spear was as powerful as a dragon, with two short spears attacking and parrying continuously from left to right. Even Jian Yulei had never encountered such a weapon before, and was beaten by Fu Zhun so hard that he could only parry for a while.
Not to mention that the two generals leading the army were in a temporary stalemate, the Han soldiers over there also fought with the mixed forces of Yamatai's samurai and foot soldiers.
"Kura!"
A servant monster holding a big knife screamed and slashed at a Han soldier holding a knife and shield.
"clang!"
With a sound of metal clashing, the Han soldier swung his sword at him, and both were knocked back a few steps. However, the Han soldier only took two steps back, while the Yamatai attendant was knocked back and fell to the ground, where he was stepped on by other panicked foot soldiers, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
"Ooohhhhhhh!"
While a Han soldier was fighting with a servant, a foot soldier shouted to give himself courage and stabbed the Han soldier in the waist.
"Click"
As a result, there was a crisp sound, and the imagined situation of the sharp bamboo spear piercing into the body and bringing out a trace of blood did not happen. Instead, the bamboo spear of the foot soldier made a crackling sound and broke directly.
The foot soldier stood there in a daze, looking at the broken bamboo spear in his hand in disbelief, and then saw that the Han soldier who had just been ambushed by him was stabbed by the servant's spear again, but was still unharmed. He simply dropped his weapon, screamed, and ran back in fear.
As the battle became more intense, this situation became more common on the battlefield. Gradually, both the Yamatai samurai and foot soldiers found that the Han soldiers were invulnerable to swords and spears. Whether it was a sharp stone spear or bamboo spear, or even the "famous swords" that some samurai regarded as heirlooms, they could not cause any wounds on these Han soldiers.
Fear began to spread among the Yamatai soldiers.
"Kami!"
This word originally meant god in Japanese, but at this time more and more Yamatai foot soldiers began to shout this word in despair.
Invulnerable to swords and guns, isn't this a god or something else?
These foot soldiers were farmers themselves. Even if the foot soldiers of Yamatai had to train during the slack season, they were still farmers and were very superstitious. In addition, those kings often made up stories about gods and ghosts for their own benefit, and now they were facing a backlash.
After fighting with the Han army for an incense stick of time, nearly a thousand foot soldiers of Yamatai were ruthlessly slaughtered, while the casualties of the Han army were only in the double digits, and no one died.
After all, no matter whether they were foot soldiers or samurai, they all relied on their own bravery at this moment, and swarmed into the battle like a swarm of bees. They were completely unlike the Han army, which relied on combat teams composed of several people, assisting and supporting each other in killing the enemy, and had a clear division of labor.
It can be said that the Han army was like a ruthless killing machine, harvesting the lives of the Yamatai foot soldiers in an organized and efficient manner. Feng Xi also said before the war that they currently had no time to take prisoners, so these foot soldiers were ruthlessly crushed and few survived.
The result of the battle between soldiers and soldiers has been decided, and the battle between generals and generals is almost the same. Although Jian Yulei is an outstanding martial artist and is considered to be one of the best in the entire Japanese island, there is still some gap compared to Fu Zhun today.
However, after twenty rounds, Jian Yulei's long spear was unable to withstand the attack. Fu Rong's two short spears attacked continuously and cooperated with each other, often stabbing Jian Yulei's defense. Now Jian Yulei's black armor, which he had spent a lot of money to get, was stabbed by Fu Rong and was covered with scars. Jian Yulei himself also had several bloody scars on his body, which were all caused by Fu Rong's scratches when he dodged and parried.
At this time, Jian Yulei was already at the end of his strength. Fu Rong's double guns were getting faster and faster, and his attacks were getting more and more fierce. In a short while, Jian Yulei would completely fail, and his life would probably be lost by then.
"drink!"
As a result, at some point, a general quietly emerged from the place where the two armies were fighting, and stabbed Fu Rong's side directly.
"Humph, what a despicable little country."
Fu Zhu snorted coldly, blocked the sneak attack with his left hand, and then he saw the person coming.
This person actually looks a bit like Jian Yulei, and no one knows what the relationship is between him and Jian Yulei. However, Jian Yulei's face is calm and serious, while this newcomer does look a bit sinister and unwilling.
"Takemikata, I don't need your assistance like this!"
Jian Yulei on this side has already begun to scold the person who just helped him in Japanese. This person is Jian Yulei's cousin, Jian Yumingfang.
As the younger brother of the God of War, Takemakata is often compared with Takemikaze, but the gap between the two is so huge that there is no need for comparison at all.
As a result, Jian Yu Ming Fang's mentality was extremely distorted, and he tried every means to compete with Jian Yu Lei, just to defeat Jian Yu Lei even once.
In terms of martial arts, spearmanship, archery, use of troops and even strength, the Takemikado clan was unable to win. If it were not for the invasion of the Han army, I am afraid that in the future, the Takemikado clan would have taken risks and done something stupid because of repeated failures, and then been exiled to the Shinano region.
However, the arrival of Feng Xi and his expeditionary force brought a slight change to their fate, although it was for the worse.
"Jian Yulei! Don't be so stubborn, this guy is very powerful, you and I should come together to take him down!"
Although Jian Yumingfang spoke in a high-sounding manner, he was secretly happy in his heart. Now the arrogant and lofty military god Jian Yulei was beaten like a grandson by the Han people, and was even almost killed in the battle, which made him feel secretly happy.
However, reason still made him come forward to help Jian Yulei, because Jian Yulei must not die no matter what. But if he helped him, would it mean his "victory"?
Fu Rong's side was stuck in a stalemate again with one against two. After all, although Jian Yu Ming Fang's martial arts were not as good as Jian Yu Lei's, he was also hovering between the upper third rate and the lower second rate. It was the truth that two fists could not beat four hands.
Fu Zhu was also a little anxious, because he was certain that he could kill the so-called military god Jian Yulei in a battle formation, and the other party might not be able to escape.
But now that the other party has come to support us, it is unknown whether we can capture them, let alone let them go.
"Don't be afraid, General Fu! The Grand Commander asked me to come and help you! Where are the Japanese pirates going!"
Fortunately, at this moment, a threat sounded like a bolt from the blue.
