Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"Yes!"

Immediately, Sun Ce, who had fully reacted, had a jolt of spirit. He responded loudly with an impassioned tone, then swiftly mounted his warhorse, leading over a thousand elite guards towards the royal capital of the Yamatai Kingdom.

After Sun Ce departed, Li Ji glanced at the distant Yamatai Kingdom army, now in complete disarray. He slowly stood up, waved his wide sleeves, instructed his personal guards to carry the chairs, hourglass, and other items that had just been set up on the mountain, and then walked towards the chariot that was parked in advance on the hillside.

Compared to warhorses, Li Ji now preferred riding chariots.

Not only was the comfort of a chariot far superior to that of a warhorse, but more importantly, its safety was also stronger.

After Li Ji was seated securely in the chariot, under the protection of the remaining personal guards, he headed directly towards the battlefield where the Han army was pursuing and killing the Yamatai Kingdom's army along the way.

Moreover, before the battle, the entire Han army had been taught a sentence in Wa language, which was, "Those who kneel and surrender will not be killed!"

As the Yamatai Kingdom's general situation had deteriorated, countless Yamatai soldiers retreated in a sweeping manner. Wherever the Han army passed, they shouted this Wa phrase, and a large number of Yamatai soldiers, under the might of the Han army, almost scrambled to kneel down to welcome the Royal Army.

The sparsely numbered Han army did not pay attention to those Yamatai soldiers who surrendered and knelt down, but instead handed over those routed soldiers who surrendered to the Wa army, which had already become spectators, to control them one by one from behind.

Of course, the number of soldiers in the Yamatai Kingdom's army was far greater than that of the Han army, so most of the Yamatai soldiers, once they ran away from the plain battlefield and scattered into the dense forest, even if the Han army had the intention to pursue, it was impossible to catch those thin and small Yamatai soldiers in the dense forest.

However, as the Yamatai Kingdom's army collapsed, compared to the speed at which those thin and small Yamatai soldiers fled on foot.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei led their cavalry, almost immediately and continuously breaking through towards the rear of the Yamatai Kingdom's army.

Especially Zhang Fei, whose original elite cavalry had charged to the rear side of the Yamatai Kingdom's army. Moreover, wherever Zhang Fei, who was like a wicked god, passed, the Yamatai soldiers almost took the initiative to avoid him, as if they had heard the wind and lost their courage.

This allowed Zhang Fei to arrive ahead of countless Yamatai routed soldiers at a small bridge before the Yamatai Kingdom's army had escaped the plain area.

Leading less than two thousand elite cavalry, Zhang Fei faced tens of thousands of routed soldiers rolling in like a tide, without the slightest intention of giving way.

Immediately, Zhang Fei raised the Zhangba Serpent Spear in his hand, which was still dripping with blood, pointed it remotely at the countless routed soldiers, glared his eyes, and roared out in a thunderous voice.

"Who dares to fight me?!"

Zhang Fei, caught up in the thrill of killing, forgot how to say the Wa phrase for surrendering the Yamatai routed soldiers, and instinctively shouted this sentence.

As soon as he said it, it made countless Yamatai routed soldiers, who clearly did not understand, feel terrified. They hesitated and dared not move forward.

There was a river blocking the direction away from Sekigahara, and the only way to go was the small bridge behind Zhang Fei.

However, with Zhang Fei blocking this bridge, no Yamatai soldier dared to step forward to face Zhang Fei's might.

Watching Zhang Fei deterring countless Yamatai routed soldiers with a single sentence, the elite cavalrymen behind Zhang Fei took the opportunity to shout in Wa language: "Those who kneel and surrender will not be killed."

Immediately, wherever Zhang Fei's glaring eyes swept, even though there were tens of thousands of Yamatai routed soldiers fleeing in this direction, facing the less than two thousand elite cavalry led by Zhang Fei, they almost uncontrollably put down their weapons and knelt tremblingly on the ground.

In the end, the momentum of kneeling and surrendering swept through like a wave, and countless people knelt under the Zhangba Serpent Spear.

At the same time, on another main direction where the Yamatai Kingdom's routed soldiers fled from Sekigahara, there was no river blocking this direction, and the plain terrain was connected to the mountains and forests.

Zhao Yun, who was humble by nature, could not do such arrogant things as Zhang Fei, but Zhao Yun, leading the White Horse Righteousness, also had his own methods.

Immediately, after Zhao Yun led the White Horse Righteousness to break through to the front of countless Yamatai Kingdom routed soldiers, he directly divided his two thousand White Horse Righteousness into four groups, and then dispersed them in various directions to use cavalry archery to block the Yamatai Kingdom routed soldiers in different directions.

Wherever the White Horse Righteousness, which had been regarded as a nightmare by countless Yamatai Kingdom routed soldiers, passed, they almost instinctively retreated. Arrows that seemed to be able to take their lives at any time flew past, forcing the routed soldiers to almost instinctively change the direction of their escape.

Under Zhao Yun's command, it looked like a pack of wolves driving a flock of sheep from a distance, allowing the sheep to constantly flee back and forth under the pressure of the White Horse Righteousness, but they were still unable to truly escape this plain area as a battlefield.

Until the Han infantry arrived from the rear, the Yamatai Kingdom routed soldiers, who had already suffered enormous psychological and physical pressure, almost knelt and surrendered in patches.

After one message after another was reported to Li Ji, Li Ji knew that this battle had been declared completely over.

The army, which had gathered most of the young and middle-aged men of the Yamatai Kingdom, had one or two tenths killed in battle, one or two tenths fled into the mountains and forests, and the rest all surrendered and were captured.

Li Ji was not in a hurry to deal with those routed soldiers, and while letting the Wa army temporarily take care of them.

He sent people to bring all the captured Yamatai Kingdom generals, leaving Zhao Yun and Gan Ning to temporarily manage the army, and then, under the protection of the cavalry and personal guards led by Zhang Fei, he escorted all the Yamatai Kingdom generals towards the royal capital, which was not far away.

When Li Ji arrived at this so-called royal capital of the Yamatai Kingdom, a raging fire was burning inside the royal capital.

Sun Ce, with half of his body stained red with blood, led over a thousand guards who had obviously experienced a battle, escorting a large number of Yamatai Kingdom people kneeling on the ground at the gate of the royal capital, waiting for Li Ji's arrival.

Seeing Li Ji's chariot approaching, Sun Ce came over excitedly, saluted, and then reported.

"Teacher, I have captured the royal capital and captured a group of Yamatai Kingdom nobles, including the Queen Himiko herself. Even if there are still scattered remnants hiding in the royal capital, they will definitely not escape the burning fire, ensuring that no one escapes."

Li Ji was a little surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look up at the soaring fire in the royal capital of the Yamatai Kingdom, feeling a little helpless.

Originally, Li Ji had planned to temporarily station in the royal capital, but Sun Ce set it on fire, so he naturally couldn't live there anymore.

However, Li Ji then felt relieved, after all, if he temporarily lived in the royal capital, Li Ji would not be able to directly move into the palace. That would undoubtedly be a transgression of etiquette, which could easily lead others to misunderstand that Li Ji had the intention of becoming king.

Moreover, Sun Ce's fire undoubtedly made it easier to erase the traces of the Yamatai Kingdom, and it had a bit of the flavor of Xiang Yu burning Xianyang.

"Ce'er did a good job."

Li Ji first praised him, and then, with Sun Ce taking the initiative to help him off the chariot, he stepped towards the group of Yamatai Kingdom people kneeling on the ground.

Afterwards, Sun Ce pointed to the woman kneeling in the front and wearing rather gorgeous clothes.

"Teacher, this person is the shameless Queen Himiko of the Yamatai Kingdom."

"Oh?"

Li Ji stopped three steps away from Himiko, looked down at Himiko, whose face was still unclear, and said coldly.

"Himiko, I am Li Ji. Didn't you ask me to come here to see you? Now that I'm here, do you have anything to say?"

Himiko, kneeling on the ground, was a little stunned when she heard the young voice ringing in her ears, and instinctively wanted to look up.

However, as soon as Himiko made a move, the guards on the left and right immediately crossed their scabbards to press on Himiko's neck, preventing her from moving, and shouted.

"Only allowed to talk, no extra actions allowed."

Li Ji, who was watching coldly, raised his hand and said. "Stop it, give the ruler of this barbarian country some grace and allow her to look up and answer."

Moreover, Li Ji was also curious about how a woman could hold the power of a country.

Immediately, after the guards loosened the scabbards a little, Himiko slowly raised her head, straightened her waist, and revealed her rather enchanting and charming face.

In addition, what surprised Li Ji greatly was that Himiko's physique was completely different from that of the Yingzhou people. Instead, she was a tall and full type, much taller than all the Wa people Li Ji had seen before.

If Li Ji were to describe the feeling at this moment, then Himiko, compared to the group of Yamatai people kneeling behind her, was very much like an Eight-Foot Lady appearing among a group of dwarves.

At this moment, Li Ji understood why Himiko would usually hide behind the pearl curtain and not easily show herself. The main reason was Himiko's physique, which was different from normal Yamatai people.

Moreover, many people in the Yamatai Kingdom believed that Himiko could communicate with ghosts and gods, and perhaps they also used this unusual physique.

Li Ji's handsome and young face also made Himiko quite surprised and astonished.

Himiko, who knew relatively well about Han culture, could not understand why Li Ji, who looked like he was just at the age of crowning, could lead the Han army on an expedition to Yingzhou in the identity of the Han Dynasty.

However, this made a hint of joy appear in Himiko's eyes, deliberately adjusting her expression to appear more charming and delicate, and said delicately.

"Himiko does not recognize the heavenly power of the Han envoy, and deserves to fall to such a fate."

Li Ji's expression did not change at all, and he continued to ask.

"Now, can the Han sword be used to slash in Yingzhou?"

Himiko maintained a soft posture and said. "It can slash Yingzhou, and it can also slash Himiko."

Li Ji tapped his palm lightly with his folding fan and asked. "Since this is the case, then why doesn't Queen Himiko give me an explanation for the missing soldiers?"

Himiko's expression became a little more stunned when she heard this.

Regarding the matter of the missing soldiers, Himiko had also constantly verified and searched afterwards, but the result was always nothing.

This gradually made Himiko suspect that this was just an excuse deliberately created by the Han army. But now that the Han army had already defeated the Yamatai Kingdom's army and appeared here as victors, why would they need such an excuse? (End of Chapter)
