I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

"Report!"

A messenger rushed to Lu Jing's tent, half-knelt on the ground and shouted: "Military situation at the front, extremely urgent!"

"Enter."

Lu Jing's calm voice came from the military tent.

The messenger immediately rushed into Lu Jing's military tent and handed over the military order in his hand, which was sealed with a wax ball and had a fire stamp on it.

Lu Jing, who was sitting in the military tent, pinched open the wax ball and glanced at it, saying, "The Emperor of Kyoto in Japan has ordered the Japanese daimyo to gather an army of about 70,000 and is marching towards Nagato."

As soon as Lu Jing finished speaking, the military tent fell silent.

At this moment, in the military tent were Song Yuheng, Pei Guanyin, Zheng Longwang, Shi Hainu, and their respective guerrillas and commanders.

They were not surprised by this military intelligence.

Because a few days ago, they had received intelligence that the Japanese had begun to gather.

The military intelligence reported at this moment was that they were heading towards Changmen State.

Lu Jing put down the information in his hand and asked the messenger to go down as well.

Then he looked at everyone and asked, "What suggestions do you have?"

King Zheng Long was the first to speak out: "Seventy thousand troops are no small matter. We cannot just sit there and wait for death. It is better to deploy troops as soon as possible. At the very least, we should send out a force to gauge the quality of the enemy."

He had witnessed the bravery of the Japanese pirates.

However, the Japanese pirates were defeated in the early years by General Qi, an old subordinate of the current Yuhang Governor. General Qi had only four or five thousand soldiers under his command at that time. Although they were defeated one by one, it was enough to show that as long as you use your brains, the Japanese pirates will not be a threat.

But King Zheng Long was a little confused about Lu Jing's recent thoughts.

In fact, Japan is only the size of one province.

If they had relied on intelligence a few days in advance and dispatched elite cavalry to use harassment warfare to snipe at the troops of the Japanese daimyo who were gathering in Kyoto Prefecture, they could have wiped out at least 20% to 30% of the enemy's strength.

The battle will be much simpler from now on.

But Lu Jing did nothing during this period!
This made King Zheng Long very anxious.

Seeing how anxious King Zheng Long was, Lu Jing smiled and said to him, "Your idea is of course very good and correct. But our troops will be exhausted, and this is the base of Japan. Although the enemy does not have many elite troops, they can recruit civilians at any time. It is easy for us to get stuck in the mud while fighting."

King Zheng Long bowed and said, "Then I am willing to lead three hundred light cavalry to weigh the opponent."

Lu Jing waved his hand: "That's not necessary."

"Since I am the governor and the commander of the army, I should be the one to assess the opponent."

what?
King Zheng Long was stunned: "But your body is worth thousands of gold..."

Lu Jing burst into laughter. "What do you mean by a body worth a thousand gold? Two months ago I was just a small flag officer in Luyang, Yuhang. How come the governor is worth a thousand gold? Old Zheng, you are joking."

Of course, his current status is inseparable from the help of the experience panel.

But apart from the experience panel, all of that was actually chopped out by him personally.

Lu Jing continued: "On the contrary, it is this Changmen Kingdom, especially Fengpu County, that must be defended. Soldiers, listen to my orders!"

At Lu Jing's command, many soldiers stood up immediately.

Lu Jing: "Immediately order you to defend Fengpu County and set up military camps at key points in Changmen Country to stop the enemy. If Changmen is lost, you will be punished by military law."

All the soldiers immediately bowed their hands: "We have received your orders!"

Defensive battles are much easier than head-on confrontations and sieges.

As for how to fight, everyone has a set of methods and strategies in their hearts.

Lu Jing doesn't care about this.

He had only one request, that the Japanese army must not trample on Nagato.

The military order has been issued, so what remains is to figure out how to carry it out.

Lu Jing and his men took out the defense map, which was a map that was recently mapped out by the officers and soldiers of Dayu who led the clerks in the army to personally visit various places and survey and map out.

The map clearly marked where there were hillsides, rivers, villages, how many people were in the village, whether there were wells, and even what specialties were available.

A map was unfolded, and the entire Changmen Kingdom was in sight.

Then they began to study how to deploy their defenses based on the map.

Although a county is not big, especially Changmen State, it can't even be considered a big county in terms of area, but just a small county. But 10,000 people thrown in it is still like a handful of rice thrown into a sand basin, which can disappear after two kicks.

But war is never about laying out a line of defense on a map and expecting the enemy to follow only that line.

If this were to happen, Maginot would give it a thumbs up online.

The tactics adopted by Dayu officers and soldiers were to advance steadily and cautiously. They used the main villages and towns as strongholds, quickly built defensive fortifications, deployed artillery, and deployed defenses in three layers: front, middle, and back.

In addition, two thousand soldiers were selected to form an elite force to fight the Japanese head-on.

Once the Japanese are trapped in our military camp, the two wings of any of our military camps can immediately surround and attack them.

If the enemy disperses its forces, we can rely on the military camp to put up a tenacious resistance, and the elite troops who are outside can quickly rush in to attack from the front and back. After repelling our forces, we can quickly regroup and charge again.

It works.

In other words, except for the daimyo's castle, which had a wall and was a decent defensive structure, other villages in Nagato didn't even have a decent wall.

Otherwise, Lu Jing and his men could rely on the tall and solid city walls to resist the siege of nearly 10,000 people with only two or three thousand soldiers.

Although there are almost no decent cities in Nagato except the feudal castle.

But relying on the military camps that watched each other one after another could also deter the enemy. In addition to the officers and soldiers of Dayu, Lu Jing also suggested fully mobilizing the Japanese in the Nagato domain.

During this period, under the leadership of Lu Jing, the Japanese people in Nagato and Suo, who had once been unable to get enough food, were allocated their own land. With the help of the officers and soldiers of Dayu, they reclaimed farmland and sowed seeds.

But now, other daimyo want to attack Nagato Province and take back their land.

Under Lu Jing's propaganda offensive, the Japanese people in Nagato are now very excited, and each of them is determined to fight to the end with those ruthless daimyo.

Human nature is like this.

You ask them to fight for the glory of samurai or the glory of Japan, but they are unwilling to do so.

But if they are defending their property and have a strong voice leading them, they will really fight to the death.

The same was true of the Yellow Turban Army and the rebel army at the founding of Dayu.

I've finally made it through the days and have some hope, and now you say you want to beat me, so I have to beat me?
Of course, these Japanese are of no use.

Most of the Japanese are not only short but also very thin because of long-term lack of nutrition.

Even if they were given knives, they could only jump up and chop the Dayu people's knees.

However, there are tens of thousands of civilians in the territories of Nagato and Suo, and if they are mobilized, an offensive can be launched in a very short time.

As for fighting...

It mainly depends on the officers and soldiers of Dayu.

Soon, under Lu Jing's military order, all forces in Changmen were quickly mobilized.

The officers and soldiers of Dayu worked together with the Japanese to cut down trees, mine stones, and build military camps.

In addition, everything that could be used to kill the enemy, such as battering rams, trenches, bows and arrows, and even gold juice, were collected by the officers and soldiers of Dayu.

In just over ten days, twelve military camps were built throughout Changmen, relying on favorable terrain and important transportation routes.

The twelve military camps are divided into three levels: front, middle and back, staggered from each other, and located on the border between Nagato Province, Iwami Province and Suo Province.

Each military camp had about 3,000 people, of which 700 to 800 were officers and soldiers of Dayu, and the remaining 2,000 to 3,000 were Japanese who had been allocated land and chose to fight against the armies of various daimyo in Japan in order to defend their own land.

There are large amounts of war supplies piled up in each military camp. In addition to the weapons and casualties, there are also a lot of baggage and food.

In addition, there were a thousand cavalrymen ready to respond to the situation.

These 1,000 cavalrymen may not sound like a lot, but they are all elite, not only well-trained, but also disciplined! Each cavalryman is a master of the True Qi Realm, and both the man and the horse are well-equipped!

The charge was like a steel torrent.

Of course, the daimyo in Japan also had cavalry.

But the Japanese cavalry...

Let me put it this way, because Japan has no grasslands and the land is long and narrow, most of the horses are short mountain horses, and the Japanese are short to begin with... Anyway, spies on the front line reported that the Japanese cavalry looked a bit ugly.

What about the thousand cavalrymen under Lu Jing?
The best northern war horses have heads that are more than two meters tall.

The average height of Dayu cavalry is 1.8 meters.

Such war horses and knights, wearing full heavy armor and charging - this is extremely terrifying for the Japanese.

Just think about it, if heavy armored cavalry weighing two or three thousand pounds were charging at them, how could that group of pony cavalrymen stop them?

Even if the other side has a master with celestial powers, Dayu also has one.

And there is also Lu Jing, the supreme magical power and killing weapon.

Therefore, even if the Emperor of Japan assembled an army of 70,000, Lu Jing was not afraid at all.

In Lu Jing's memory of his previous life, after the end of the Warring States Period, Japan assembled an army of 140,000 and intended to use Goryeo as a springboard to invade Zhongzhou, but was then repelled by the 40,000 troops sent by the Zhongzhou court.

And it was an away game, so there were many problems.

Now Lu Jing is fighting at home, and he has advanced tactics and firearms from Dayu... Even if the opponent has more people, what is there to be afraid of?

……

Five days after the military camp was completed, after half a month of assembly and marching, the coalition forces of various Japanese daimyo were stationed in Iwami and Suo, surrounding the small country of Nagato.

However, faced with the defense plan discussed by Lu Jing and many generals, the Daimyo coalition forces were in trouble.

In the Emperor's tent, a group of contemporary Japanese heroes gathered together and looked at the sand table below the steps of the tent, on which were small red and blue flags.

The blue side is stockpiled at the border between Iwami and Suo and Nagato.

On the opposite side, there were only a few scattered red flags marking the location of the military camp that Lu Jing had people build.

Moreover, there are only four or five military camps marked.

As for the number of soldiers and flag bearers in the military camp, what weapons they have, what experts are in charge, and all the information is blank!

It’s not that they don’t want to find out the situation in Nagato, but very few of the spies they sent out could come back.

Even if ninjas who are good at hiding their tracks and have all kinds of strange methods are sent into Nagato country, most of them will never return.

They even thought of sending someone with supernatural powers to fly up into the wind and observe from the air.

But before they could get close, they were discovered by the soldiers of Dayu, and then an arrow from a magic machine tool crossbow whizzed towards them.

The small country of Changmen seemed to have turned into a huge monster's mouth with sharp teeth!

Anyone who attempts to enter will be ruthlessly torn apart and then devoured.

No one can be seen alive, and no body can be seen dead.
