In terms of the scale of the war, Nobi was much larger than Kanto, but in terms of intensity, the Kanto region was even more exciting.

In the Nongwei area, although the Han side did not have much more troops than the Japanese side, in terms of strategy, the Han side had a huge advantage.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that under attack from the east and west, the isolated Oda family is at an absolute disadvantage. Even with the fortified city of Tokyo, there is still not much possibility of a comeback.

Therefore, no matter how Oda Nobunaga struggled, in the eyes of most people, the outcome of the Nobi War was already doomed, and the difference was only the length of time he persisted.

On the other hand, in the Guandong region, Wu Qi's side was at an absolute disadvantage from beginning to end.

Wu Qi only had 30,000 Qin and Japanese mixed troops, of which the Qin army only had 5,000. However, he had to face 150,000 Japanese troops, an enemy five times his own. This shows how huge the pressure was.

Before the final fire attack, even though Wu Qi had defeated the enemy many times and killed tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, he still could not reverse the strength gap between the enemy and ourselves.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yu is so eager to support Wu Qi, because he knows how difficult this task is, so he is afraid that Wu Qi will not be able to withstand the pressure.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Wu Qi not only withstood the pressure, but also won the battle, and he was a complete victory, nearly annihilating 150,000 Japanese troops.

When receiving the news, not only Zhou Yu, but also the generals of the Qin army, and everyone in the coalition were shocked.

They joined forces with hundreds of thousands of troops, but they were not able to capture Tokyo yet. Wu Qi, who had only 30,000 Qin and Japanese soldiers, had already finished the battle in Kanto.

This is too fast and too fierce!

After hearing the specific details of the fire attack, all the four-nation coalition generals were amazed. They could only use two words to describe Wu Qi's achievements, that is: awesome;

Shibata Katsuie failed to capture Hachioji Castle, and received news that Tokyo was being surrounded. He was worried that Tokyo would be captured, so he decided to take a desperate risk, bypassed Hachioji, attacked Gotemba Castle by surprise, and then invaded the Kinki Plains.

What Shibata Katsuie never expected was that Wu Qi predicted his actions in advance and used Gotemba Castle as a bait to lure a hundred thousand troops deep into his belly.

On the surface, Wu Qi's plan went smoothly, and there didn't seem to be many disturbances. However, there were some accidents, which aroused Shibata Katsuie's suspicions, but they were all confused by Wu Qi.

Finally, at Puyuan City at the junction of Kanto and Nomi, Wu Qi used a large fire to burn Puyuan City. At the cost of the entire city, a hundred thousand troops were destroyed. Even Shibata Katsuie was killed in the fire.

.

The twists and turns, thrills, and complexity of the Kanto War astonished everyone present.

That is to say, Wu Qi, who has both wisdom and unification, is commanding. If it were Le Yi and Zhao Yong, even if they could win in the end, it would be a tragic victory. They would never be able to win this battle with a total annihilation attitude like Wu Qi.

The Kanto War ended with Wu Qi annihilating the Japanese army with a huge fire.

The 150,000 Japanese troops were almost completely wiped out, which directly reduced the strength of the Kanto region by nearly 89%.

In the huge Guandong Plain, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 defenders left, which can be said to be extremely empty.

Naturally, Wu Qi would not let go of such a good opportunity, so he saw the opportunity and led his army eastward, but he did not expect that he would hit a wall in the first city.

Odawara Castle is one of the most famous impenetrable castles in Kanto and even Tokyo. Its defensive power is no worse than Tokyo Castle or even Kasugayama Castle.

If Wu Qi wanted to invade Kantō, he had to capture Odawara City. He thought that after wiping out Shibata Katsuie, the garrison in Kantō would surrender, but he did not expect that Odawara City's resistance would still be strong.

Wu Qi personally commanded the army to attack, but lost thousands of troops, but still failed to break the city. In addition, some supplies were exhausted, so he reported the good news to Zhou Yu and asked for supplies to continue the battle.

Zhou Yu naturally had no reason not to agree to Wu Qi's request. Not only did he provide Wu Qi with additional supplies, but he also sent additional troops.

Wu Qi now has only 15,000 troops under his command. With just such a small number of men, it is naturally impossible to occupy the entire Guandong.

Therefore, Zhou Yu ordered the three generals Xu Huang, Zhang He, and Ju Yi, each with an army of 10,000, for a total of 30,000, to go to Wu Qi and give orders to Wu Qi to continue the attack on Guandong.

Regarding the land of Guandong, Zhou Yu planned to live alone and leave nothing to the other three kingdoms. However, if he really did this, he would be easily targeted by the three kingdoms.

After much thought, Zhou Yu decided to give up part of Nongwei's territory in exchange for the Three Kingdoms agreeing to Qin's occupation of the entire Guandong Plain.

The Nongwei area is the essence of the Japanese country, but after such a battle, it is obvious that its vitality has been severely damaged, and it will never regain its former glory.

Tokyo, as the political and economic center, is about to be slaughtered into nothing.

As for other places, the trauma is also great.

Using the half-wasted thick tail in exchange for the entire Kanto region, this deal is a guaranteed profit no matter how you look at it.

As for whether the three congresses of Wei, Song and Wu would agree?

They would get benefits without spending a single soldier, and they had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, the area of ​​hundreds of miles from Kinki to Kanto has been occupied by the Qin army.

Even if the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu did not want Qin to get Guandong, there was no way to stop it, so it was better to get some benefits and settle the matter.

"Report...to the Grand Governor, the defenders in Daheng City and Naguye City have already surrendered at Kaicheng under Himiko's persuasion.

In addition, Susanoo and Oyama Tsumi have also been persuaded by Himihu and decided to surrender to our Great Qin."

"You really surrendered, that's great."

Zhou Yu had a look of surprise on his face. After all, the two of them had shown that they would rather die than surrender before. He didn't expect to be convinced by Himihu so quickly.

Inspired by Xiang Yu's ideological mobilization and the massacre in Tokyo, after some ideological struggle, Beimi Husha finally lowered his arrogant head and decided to surrender to the Qin Dynasty.

She has figured it out that even if she continues to resist, her sacrifice will be in vain, which means nothing at all. Only by surrendering to Da Qin can the casualties be minimized.

In addition, Taiyi promised her to keep Shintoism and pass it on in Japan.

However, whether it is Shintoism or the Onmyoji lineage, they must recognize their ancestors and return to their clan and merge into the Onmyo family.

There was no way Himihu could refuse this condition.

Between Japan and Shintoism, she had to keep at least one.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Japan is definitely going to perish, and she cannot let Shintoism be destroyed along with it.

Now that Taiyi has promised to let her preserve Shintoism, she will not hesitate to let Shintoism merge into the Onmyo family.

After meeting Zhou Yu, the first thing Himihu said was that he wanted Zhou Yu to stop the massacre.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to reveal many secrets, and the underground vault in the Tokyo Imperial Palace was one of them.

Oda Nobunaga was surrounded by Himiko's people. He thought that few people knew the secret of his arrangement, but they didn't know that Himiko had already known his secret.

In order to save the city of Tokyo, Himiko wanted to exchange this, but was directly rejected by Zhou Yu.

Once the killing starts, it is not easy to stop.

If the order to stop is forcibly issued, it will only reduce Zhou Yu's prestige and make him a stranger inside and outside. Moreover, the armies of Wei, Song and Wu will definitely not listen to Zhou Yu.

Based on these two considerations, Zhou Yu directly rejected Himihu without even thinking about it.

However, in order to appease her, Zhou Yu also made a promise that after Tokyo, he would never massacre the city again.

After hearing Zhou Yu's explanation, Himihu realized that Tokyo was completely hopeless. After some struggle, she decided to give up and save other areas instead, so as not to let the tragedy of Tokyo happen elsewhere.

Himiko's resignation made Zhou Yu overjoyed. After all, her influence in the Japanese country was second only to Oda Nobunaga. Her real value was obviously more than that.

Zhou Yu could already imagine that after Himihu appeared in Guandong, all the cities in Guandong would take the initiative to open their cities and surrender to the Qin Dynasty.

"Let Bimihu go with the army to the Guandong area to help Wu Qidong conquer Guandong." Zhou Yu ordered.

In this way, Himihu, who had just arrived in Tokyo, was sent to the Kanto region by Zhou Yu, but this was also a good thing for her.

The Tokyo Da Tu Killing Me has not explained yet, so it was too much torture for her to witness this scene with her own eyes.

The Seven-Day Massacre in Tokyo had been going on for six days, and the remaining more than 100,000 people and tens of thousands of troops in the city were slaughtered by the four-nation coalition forces, turning it into an extremely gloomy and dead city.

The four-nation coalition forces all made a lot of money from this massacre.

Especially for Da Qin, just one underground treasury generated more revenue than the other three countries combined.

After the massacre was over, all the countries were busy counting the receipts and damages, but they did not realize that a large amount of wealth was actually transferred out of the palace by the Qin army.

The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu also did this kind of thing of transferring wealth. After all, in order to prevent long nights and dreams, it is better to transport it back to the country as soon as possible.

Therefore, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu should have thought that what the Qin Dynasty transferred was the property stolen from the massacre, but they did not realize that it was all extra income.

Although the Four-Nation Allied Forces robbed huge amounts of wealth, the price they paid was also huge.

During the offensive and defensive battle in Tokyo, the Four Nations Allied Forces initially dispatched 220,000 troops. After two additional reinforcements, the total strength reached 320,000 troops.

On the other hand, the garrison in Tokyo only numbered 100,000. Although the civilians were later forced to defend the city, their role was given priority.

It took the four-nation coalition forces fifteen days to break through the steel fortress of Tokyo, but they also lost nearly 160,000 troops.

In addition to the previous loss of 100,000 troops, that is to say, the Four Nations Allied Forces lost a total of 260,000 troops on the Nongwei battlefield.

This is obviously an extremely empty and terrifying number, more than the three wars of Kyushu, Kinki, and Noo combined.

Although 90% of them are Japanese, nearly 26,000 are Han Chinese.

However, the results achieved were equally horrific.

After the war, statistics showed that the combined forces of the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Song and Wu annihilated a total of 340,000 Japanese troops and captured 40,000 prisoners, while their own casualties reached 260,000 (30,000 Han troops).

The number of soldiers killed by the Allied and Japanese armies alone reached 600,000.

In addition, 300,000 people in Tokyo were massacred, which means that 900,000 corpses were buried in Tokyo alone.

The total number of people killed and injured in the other cities in Nongwei was 100,000 or 200,000.

In other words, the total number of people who died in the Battle of Nongwei even exceeded one million.

This was an extremely large, fierce, and even tragic battle. Not only was it the first time in Japanese history, but a war of this scale was rare even in the Central Plains.

This battle alone directly reduced the population of the entire Nongwei area by 50%.

Among the remaining population of more than 800,000, the vast majority are women, children, the elderly and the weak, and there are basically not many young and strong people left.
