The immortal body is called Teevat
Chapter 215 The advantage is mine
Moreover, the bloody and violent suppression in the previous two times had made Tianling Fengxing feel like he was sitting on the crater of a volcano, which could erupt at any time.
Moreover, the money invested in this war was not a small amount. In order to drive Inazuma's war machine at full power, he not only rarely paid back all the previous pensions, but also allocated a large sum of money to restore the overdue people's livelihood economy, which at least made him feel acceptable.
Moreover, the funds he allocated to the army were not small. The funds were so large that by now, more than half of the wealth collected from the big businessmen had been consumed.
In other words, from an economic point of view, if he wanted to start another war, he would not even have the capital to do so, and he would definitely not be able to successfully attack Haiqi Island like he did this time.
According to casualty statistics, the shogunate army lost more than 3 people in the past three months, while the Haiqi Island army on the other side lost less than people at most. In addition, the casualties among the rebels were very high, and some of them were killed by human bombs of the Tenryo Bugyo.
However, according to the total calculations of the Tenryo Bugyo General Staff, the resistance force of the rebels should be less than 20,000 troops. If they are forcibly mobilized, 20,000 soldiers should be the limit.
Thinking of this, Kujo Takayuki couldn't help but feel a headache. He looked at the casualty reports, and the numbers on them shocked him.
If the war continued like this, not only would the reserve troops of the Tenryo Bugyo be completely exhausted, but more innocent lives would be lost. Although he did not feel any pain, the compensation for each death was very costly.
The outcome of this war was related to many aspects, and the most critical one was the impact on public sentiment. If the war was lost, the best outcome would be to distribute all the previously confiscated property of the merchants, so as to calm the anger of the people and make them temporarily forget the pain and losses brought by the war.
However, the worst outcome could be a more serious riot than a few years ago. At that time, the anger of the people would erupt like a volcano, and directly drive Kujo Takayuki and his Tenryo Bugyo out of office. Such a situation would undoubtedly bring great turmoil and chaos to the entire Inazuma.
Not only that, the voices against the war in Inazuma Castle were getting louder and louder, like surging waves constantly hitting the already shaky sand castle of Tenryo Bugyo. Every impact made the sand castle more precarious, as if it could collapse at any time.
Fortunately, due to the prestige and power of the general, these people have not yet taken drastic actions like the last public demonstration. At most, they are just talking privately, expressing dissatisfaction and doubts about the war.
But if the war is lost too tragically, even with the protection of the Shogun, it would be difficult to maintain Kujo Takayuki's position.
The compensation given by Kujo Takayuki this time was already quite generous, otherwise the suffering endured by the families who had lost their loved ones would be enough to plunge the entire Inazuma into flames again.
So, in such a precarious situation, Kujo Takayuki decided to take another gamble and give it a try.
He ignored the opposition of his generals, distributed all the remaining supplies to the soldiers, and started the absolute offensive plan. He also summoned all the middle and upper-level officers to start his superiority speech.
In short, he tried to reassure these generals of his own to trust him again, and used the 10 paper soldiers of the shogunate army to fight against the 2 elite soldiers of the rebels.
"The strength of the troops in this battle is 100,000 versus 20,000, and the advantage is on my side!" Kujo Takayuki slammed the table heavily at his last moment, looking at these generals like a hungry wolf as if to express his determination.
The expressions of these generals were very subtle. If the head of the family had said this three months ago, they would have tried their best to support him. Only through war could they gain the greatest benefits.
However, as they gradually advanced, they were dragged down by the rebels' tactics, and their own leader's mental state was getting worse and worse. Leading an army of 10 able-bodied men to fight against the enemy's 2 elite troops, not to mention the issue of whether they could fight effectively.
In terms of the terrain, people are very familiar with this place. Even though they have been in the mountains for almost a month and still don't have a clear understanding of the terrain, what can they use to fight this battle?
Should we sacrifice human lives? What if we lose all the lives but still fail to win? It would be better to hold the absolute defense line of Bayun Island and trap the resistance army to death. Why do we have to compete with the resistance army?
People are so fickle. When they are strong, many of them instigate Kujo Takayuki to attack, but when their own side is at a disadvantage, they put all the blame on this radical gambler head of the family.
Moreover, a very cruel fact is: their head of the family lost too badly in the previous two times, and this time he is determined to take back all that he had lost, complete his gorgeous revenge, and ascend the throne of the Inazuma Guide.
The Absolute Offensive Plan was another amazing plan that Kujo Takayuki came up with. Its main purpose was to concentrate all the troops to form a cone-shaped formula and insert them straight into the weakest point. Only the basic troops were left in the rear for defense.
As for the sneak attack from the rear, 9th Takayuki didn't care. Anyway, his supplies had been used up, and the rebels would not get much supplies even if they captured the palace. As long as he advanced fast enough, he could reach the Coral Palace as quickly as possible.
However, the solution proposed by Coral Palace Xinhai was not to confront the shogunate army head-on, but to continue to adopt a strategy of delaying and harassing. Although this decision seemed conservative, it had a well-thought-out consideration behind it.
Due to the complex terrain and rugged roads in the mountains, coupled with the stubborn resistance and constant delaying tactics of the rebels, the shogunate army, which was originally known to win with one strike, had a hard time in the mountains. It took them a full seven days to cross the mountains with great difficulty.
The seven days of living in the mountains and forests were simply a nightmare for the shogunate army. Not only were they exhausted and physically exhausted, but many soldiers also unfortunately contracted various diseases.
The high morale gradually faded in this harsh environment, and the soldiers' physical and mental strength had reached their limits. These were not the fanatics of Kujo Takayuki, as those fanatics had long since died.
When the shogunate army finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, what they faced was not the imagined dawn of victory, but an elite force carefully organized by Coral Palace Xinhai.
This army, led by Coral Palace Shinkai himself, was in high spirits and well-equipped, forming a sharp contrast to the exhausted shogunate army.
Facing such a powerful enemy, the able-bodied soldiers of the shogunate army had already lost their last bit of fighting spirit. Under the fierce attack of the Coral Palace Heart Sea, they had no power to fight back and were defeated at the first blow.
However, due to the large size of the shogunate army, despite the outstanding performance of Coral Palace Xinhai's elite troops, they could only repel them but could not completely defeat them.
However, Coral Palace Shinkai ordered Goro to lead the army in continuous pursuit, making the fleeing shogunate troops exhausted and unable to restore their organization and gather their fighting strength.
If possible, they would even use these defeated soldiers of the shogunate army to completely break through the defense line of the Tenryo Bugyo.
However, how could Kujo Takayuki accept defeat? So he moved all the fire element bombs and high-concentration element essential oils from his own supplies to burn the mountain. As a result, a considerable number of the defeated soldiers of the shogunate army were trapped in the mountain fire and burned to death.
The rebel pursuit force also suffered heavy casualties, but under Goro's forced attack, the defeated soldiers of the shogunate army completely lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions. A considerable number of them escaped from the mountains and forests and attacked the shogunate army's defense line.
The shogunate troops, which were burned beyond recognition, caused the second-line troops in the rear to flee as well. As a result, the defense line that Kujo Takayuki had painstakingly built collapsed over time.
The huge mountain fire made it impossible for even Goro to save his tail, which was now burnt bald. But the anger in his eyes could not be burned away, and he could not understand why Kujo Takayuki would be so cruel as to set fire to the mountain.
The fire burned nearly one-third of the forest on Haiqi Island. Kujo Takayuki no longer cared about so much. He just wanted to win, but the fact was that he lost again.
The aftermath of this battle has not yet subsided, and the next unlucky person might be Kujo Takayuki.
