Chapter 85 Untitled
But judging from the current situation, Nakamura Daiji had oversimplified the matter. Up to now, his 500 Red Tide Army had suffered nearly one-tenth casualties, but they had never taken a single step into the enemy's camp...

Moreover, according to the current situation, the enemy's casualty ratio has begun to develop towards two to one, which means that for every two casualties on our side, the other side only has one casualty. This is undoubtedly a very bad signal for the confident Nakamura Daiji and his Red Tide Army.

"Mr. Nakamura, I'm back!"

Just when Nakamura Daiji was about to throw the last reserve force into the battle, Kenjiro Kobayashi, who had been sent outside the city to contact Zheng Mingzhe's troops, hurried back.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kobayashi-kun. How is Zheng Mingzhe doing?" Nakamura Daiji, with a gloomy face, looked at Kobayashi Kenjiro's sweaty face and asked:

"Not very good! There are 500 imperial guards over there, and the commander is a man called Chen Yannian. His command is very experienced and flawless. Although Zheng Mingzhe's troops have the advantage in numbers, they are completely at a disadvantage."

"Zheng Mingzhe was just feinting, and he has already suffered nearly a hundred casualties out of the one thousand men under his command. Given his style of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and escaping as soon as the situation gets bad, he should be running away with his men soon..."

Kenjiro Kobayashi shook his head and told Daiji Nakamura another bad news.

Nakamura Daiji heard this and his already gloomy face became even more unbearable to look at.

Kobayashi Kenjiro's words meant that he had to take the military camp in front of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he dragged on, when the other side, Chen Yannian, led the main force to defeat Zheng Mingzhe and came back to support, he would not only have no chance to take the military camp, but even if he wanted to lead his troops to leave, it would be difficult for him to escape...

Nakamura Daiji was not at all surprised that the 1,000 Gongdu bandits under Zheng Mingzhe were no match for the Great Zhou Imperial Guards. In fact, he had never thought of using these Gongdu bandits to secure victory. He just wanted to use these bandits to tie down a part of the Great Zhou Imperial Guards so that he could lead the Red Tide Army to defeat them one by one.

But now, even though Nakamura Daiji has attached great importance to Ye Mingsheng's troops, the actual combat effectiveness of Ye Mingsheng's troops is still stronger than he imagined. This has led to the failure of the strategy of defeating them one by one set by Nakamura Daiji and Takeshita Aritomo!
In addition, Zheng Mingzhe, the bandit leader of Gongdu, was a helper found by Nakamura Daiji. Therefore, he knew very well that Zheng Mingzhe's troops came down the mountain to help him for the sake of profit, and would never fight to the death with the Great Zhou Imperial Army for him. He was not reliable at all...

Under the current circumstances, it is already very good that Zheng Mingzhe can delay for two quarters of an hour.

Thinking of this, Nakamura Daiji's eyes revealed a fierce light, and then he slowly said: "Takeshita senior, you are an intelligence officer. Now is not the time for you to participate. You can leave!"

Feeling Nakamura Daiji's intention, the cunning Takeshita Aritomo realized what Nakamura Daiji wanted to do, and couldn't help but dissuade him: "Nakamura-kun, you don't have to do this."

"Your Excellency has entrusted me with five hundred Red Tide Troops and allocated so many resources for me. I should seize the treasure map for you. If I cannot seize the treasure map, I should also give you an explanation!" Nakamura Daiji said calmly:

"well·······"

Sensing the determination in Nakamura Daiji's words, Takeshita Aritomo sighed, bowed slightly to Nakamura Daiji with admiration, then turned and left.

Nakamura Daiji was right. His old bones were no longer able to fight in the battlefield. In the current situation, if he stayed, he would not be of any help to Nakamura Daiji, but would become a burden. After Takeshita Aritomo left, Kobayashi Kenjiro could not help but said, "Lord Nakamura, let me lead the charge once..."

Upon hearing this, Nakamura Daiji patted Kobayashi Kenjiro on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Kobayashi-kun, this is my responsibility. You are still young, and this should not be borne by you... I will lead my troops to launch a heroic charge. If I fail, the rest will be left to you!"

"Hi!" Seeing that Nakamura Daiji had made up his mind, Kobayashi Kenjiro, who was furious, held back the tears in his eyes and bowed deeply.

After making arrangements for his funeral, Daiji Nakamura smiled and patted Kenjiro Kobayashi's face. Then he slowly drew his gleaming samurai sword from its scabbard while humming a tune from his hometown in a low voice.

"さくらさくら,野山も里も············"

When singing to his heart's content, Nakamura Daiji, holding a samurai sword, showed an expectant look on his face. However, the next second, he turned wild and shouted crazily:

"Your Highness's warriors, the time has come to serve the Empire!"

"Onboard!"

"Onboard!"

Under the encouragement of Nakamura Daiji, the last reserve of the Red Tide Army, more than fifty elite samurai, seemed to be energized. Holding samurai swords in their hands, they followed Nakamura Daiji fearlessly and launched a desperate charge towards Ye Mingsheng's military camp.

The hundreds of Red Tide troops who were attacking the military camp saw their commander, Nakamura Daiji, personally lead the charge. Their low morale was immediately boosted.
Ye Mingsheng immediately noticed the unusual movement in the Japanese pirates' formation, which made him, who had originally relaxed as he saw the situation was developing in a good direction, feel nervous again...

After the previous round of fighting, although his soldiers successfully blocked the charge of the Japanese pirates who were twice their number and kept the enemy firmly outside the military camp, they also paid the price of nearly one hundred people being injured and fifty people being killed.

It is no exaggeration to describe their current situation as a spent force. The only reason they can still hold on is because of their last breath.

And now it seems that the fate of the opponent's main general may very likely become the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng's eyes also showed a murderous intent, and he shouted: "Brothers, hold on! Lord Chen will soon lead the reinforcements to arrive!"

When the exhausted soldiers in the barracks heard Ye Mingsheng say "reinforcements will arrive soon", they could not help but cheer up again and waved their swords and guns vigorously at the Japanese pirates rushing towards them.
