Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1128
"The battle of Hutou was really stupid, but it's no wonder that the battle that can wipe out the enemy has such weird things."

In Cai Nan's carriage, Wang Tong said with a smile while observing the sand table. Cai Nan beside him was also looking at the sand table, holding an account book in his hand and kept writing and recording. Hearing what Wang Tong said, Cai Nan pondered a little, and said again:
"My lord, even our family can understand this way of showing weakness and chaos. Will the Japanese pirates eat this?"

"Just now the military report has come in. The Japanese pirates are gathering troops around Seoul. It seems that they are going to fight our army to the death. It is still effective."

After Wang Tong said this with a smile, he waved his hands and continued:

"I also understand that it is too absurd to try to show weakness now, but the Japanese pirates are cut off at this time and have nowhere to go. Give them a false sign, and they will seize it as a life-saving straw. It’s not that they don’t know the soldiers, the Japanese pirates were defeated anyway in the battle on Huanghai Road, but this battle made them feel an opportunity. Under the current situation, for this false opportunity, they have to take a gamble Already!"

After saying this, Wang Tong patted the table full of heart, and said loudly:

"No matter how we fight, our army will win a big victory, but if the Japanese pirates flee into the mountains, I don't know how much effort it will take to clean them up. If they don't, they will have to rely on the local Korean people. At that time, there will be another After a lot of trouble, if we can fight decisively in one place, gather and annihilate them, it will be a solution once and for all.”

In early June, three regiments of the imperial army led by Li Hutou and more than [-] soldiers in each team fought against the first and third Japanese army regiments in the area of ​​Haizhou, Hwanghae Province, North Korea.

Heavy artillery bombardment, firecracker salvos, and spear advances killed nearly [-] Japanese pirates. However, Li Hutou, commander of the army, was too inexperienced in dealing with the enemy, did not know the coordination of infantry and cavalry, and relied too much on firearms, resulting in no further gains. The great result of the battle was also because the ammunition was exhausted, and when the infantry team was withdrawn, the enemy almost took advantage of it.

The Japanese pirates got this information, and the North Korean king and his officials in Uiju also got this information. Although Li Hutou fought very bluntly on the battlefield that day, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and any situation may happen. He is just a general in his early twenties, so it is not impossible for him to have some stupid tricks, because everyone knows that most of Li Hutou's victories were won under Wang Tong's leadership, and his own ability has not yet been proven. .

Thinking about it further, most of the Imperial Army wins with infantry, rarely using cavalry, and the coordination of infantry and cavalry is very unskilled. In the next battle, if more troops can be invested, the infantry and cavalry will be combined There is no chance to separate and consume the ammunition of those firecrackers.

All considerations are biased toward one's own side, thinking about how to win when it is beneficial to one's own. In a war, such thoughts are extremely naive. If such a situation occurs in a normal war In the current situation, many people know that this trick is too false.

But in such a situation, the sea route back to the country of Wa has been completely cut off. If there is no decisive battle with the Ming army, and the various legions are scattered in various ways, they will only be completely wiped out by the Ming army with superior forces. If they are scattered in the mountains for guerrilla warfare If so, it will only delay the process of extinction.

Only by using Seoul as a fortress and holding the flat area in the south of Korea from Seoul to Busan, and operating in this way, may there be a chance to breathe, and if you can wait enough time, there will be a turning point.

If there is no decisive battle, there is only a dead end. If there is a chance of a decisive battle, anyone will make this choice. Li Hutou's pretentiousness on the Haizhou battlefield is to give the opponent this chance, more precisely, to give the opponent a chance. It gave the other party an illusion of a glimmer of life, or in other words, the pirate army would rather believe this illusion, and they had no other choice.

**************
The Korean peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are many large and small ports, but after the arrival of the Daming Navy, all the ports were completely blocked.

Originally in Busan Port, there were still 4000 Japanese pirates left. Busan Port is a rare good port, which can provide convenience for large troops to enter and exit. Guarding here is also to maintain a retreat. In the past, water battles were water wars, and land battles were land wars. There were not too many obstacles. If the navy wanted to go ashore to fight, they still had to fight the infantry with real knives and guns. On the ships of the Daming Navy and those pirates, there were obviously not many people going ashore to fight.

However, there are not many sailors who can go ashore to fight hand-to-hand, but there are still a thousand people who can put together a thousand people. Maybe a thousand people can't beat the four thousand Japanese pirates on the shore in hand-to-hand combat. However, the artillery power of the gunboat is really amazing. When it drove into the coast, there was a lot of noise, and then the sailors swaggered ashore.

What made the four thousand Japanese pirates even more helpless was that the thousand infantry actually brought more than a dozen cannons, and the thousand infantry actually had more than 500 firecrackers. Moreover, ships docked continuously, and the sailors began to land.

Unable to defend Busan, the last ray of hope is also cut off, and the Korean peninsula is completely hopeless. The Japanese army general who leads the team has already considered whether to launch a desperate charge or commit suicide by caesarean section. On the other side, General Ukita Hideka ordered that all soldiers and horses gather in Seoul for a decisive battle with the Ming army.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Japanese Taiko in Osaka, has already fallen ill. Conquering North Korea and then occupying Daming is the most ambitious plan he has ever made in his life. It was the most glorious moment of his life.

From the emperor of Japan, the generals below, to the most ordinary samurai, no one looks down on Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was born as a groom and handyman. Toyotomi Hideyoshi also knows the contempt of others. Perhaps he has become the leader of Oda Nobunaga's largest army. At that time, no one dared to look down on him, but he himself thought so paranoidly.

After getting the kingdom of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi married the daughter of the public servant as a concubine, and instead of being a general, he became Guan Bai, the highest-ranking public official, all because of this inferiority complex.

Turning North Korea and Ming into their own territory is a grand plan that has never been imagined or expected since the founding of the country. The best era of the year was just the establishment of the Japanese government in the southernmost part of the Korean peninsula. Now it has conquered After entering North Korea, he has been No. 1 in Japan for thousands of years. Since the army crossed the sea and quickly occupied the entire territory of North Korea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt that the world's famous names treated him with a lot more awe than before.

The good times didn't last long. First, Ping'an Road was defeated by the Ming army, and finally won a round under the city of Seoul. The situation fell into a stalemate, and then it took a sharp turn for the worse.

In exchange for the loyalty of the largest sea lord of Ming Dynasty with hundreds of thousands of stone fiefdoms, two-thirds of the naval forces of the Wa Kingdom were assembled. Such a large-scale naval fleet was completely defeated by the Daming Navy in three battles. The army was annihilated, leading troops to fight for so many years, of course everyone understands what this means.

The blockade of the Daming Navy was extremely thorough. The news of the Korean Peninsula and the Wa Kingdom was completely cut off. All kinds of rumors began to spread in the Wa Kingdom. There was no joyful news, but it would make people despair. The most spread was the army in North Korea. Has been completely wiped out by the Ming army.

The intention of this conquest was to consume the soldiers and horses of the Western Kingdom. Such a big loss is too much, not to mention that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's own troops also suffered great losses. The Western Kingdom has already begun to turmoil. Toyotomi Hideyoshi The troops directly under them are shrinking, at least to stabilize the six countries around Osaka. What makes Toyotomi Hideyoshi feel uneasy is that someone has secretly reported that the Tokugawa family has started some actions in Kanto.

The biggest hidden danger in Toyotomi's mind is not the always rebellious Shimadzu family, nor the Maori family, the overlord of the Western Kingdom, but the Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has been with him for more than the time he has been an enemy. From the prosperity of the Oda family to the present , I haven’t seen any great battles fought by the Tokugawa family. It seems that they have always obeyed the strong and formed an alliance with the strong. They showed some backbone, but unknowingly, the Tokugawa family has become a giant with 280 million stones. Toyotomi Hideyoshi has always wanted to find an opportunity to split and destroy the Tokugawa family, but Tokugawa Ieyasu has always remained submissive and refused to give him this opportunity.

For a while, Toyotomi Hideyoshi even really thought that Tokugawa Ieyasu would obey his allegiance. Only now did Toyotomi Hideyoshi know that Tokugawa Ieyasu was still waiting for an opportunity, but now it was too late for what he wanted to do, and he couldn’t do anything in this situation. causing more confusion.

And the most important point is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is old, and the old man's body can't stand the torment of illness. The only one who can help him calm down the situation is also old. Toyotomi Hideyoshi can only support his sick body to stabilize the situation. He also knew that the big names everywhere, including those who were loyal to him, were preparing for it. Soon after the peace of the country of Wa, chaos would soon follow.

*****************
For more than [-] years in the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom, there has been no mobilization of more than [-] troops to fight, and there is no way to carry out long-term siege and civil engineering. It was not possible until the era of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The Japanese pirate army in North Korea also used this skill as much as possible. When Wang Tong led the army to enter Gyeonggi-do, the roads were destroyed, there were trenches, there were big pits, and the water sources and wells were polluted as much as possible. The rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the water source is not a big problem. As for these obstacles along the way, Wang Tong's response is very simple. He recruits Korean peasants on the spot. Anyway, it is not his own people's power, just use it.

In the face of the superiority of the cavalry of the Ming army, Japanese soldiers and horses did not dare to send out any light cavalry to harass, but some ninja troops wanted to set fire to the granary at night, and even entered the camp to cause chaos.

The very first battle took place between the Ming army's Tanma, Yebushou and Japanese pirate ninjas.——
