The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 481 Soshige Tachibana's Cold Sweat (Subscribe)
Pyongyang, the south bank of the Taedong River.

Since the players of the Ming Dynasty started to go south and reopened the abandoned post stations and warehouses, the generals of the Sixth Army of the Wa Kingdom stationed nearby have a headache for these soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that there are not many troops stationed at each post station, but they have a geographical advantage and reinforcements often arrive in time. As a result, Tachibana Zongshige deployed troops to attack Niufeng twice, but failed to achieve much results.

Several times of sending troops failed, Tachibana Zongshige knew that he probably couldn't help these Ming soldiers, and at the same time he gradually figured out one thing.

Although the Wa Kingdom could easily defeat North Korea, which had never known soldiers for a long time, there was still a big gap in wrestling with Daming.

Now Tachibana Soshige didn't dare to take the initiative to attack anymore, because he didn't have many troops under his command, at most only [-] generals, and a group of little Japanese nobles who were of little use.

The only thing that can be counted on now is the Pyongyang troops stationed on the other side of the river. If the Pyongyang troops can defeat the Ming army, then all unfavorable situations will be resolved.

Only, if Pyongyang loses.

Tachibana Muneshige couldn't think about it carefully, because this kind of thing is really not something he, a small daimyo in his early [-] shi, can consider.

Just when he was thinking about it, clear footsteps approached the courtyard where he lived, followed by the voice of his subordinates: "My lord, a troop has come down from the mountain."

"Army? Whose banner?"

"It's the Takahashi department."

"Takahashi?"

Tachibana Zongshige was taken aback for a moment, then turned around with great joy: "Quick, that's my brother Takahashi coming, welcome them up the mountain."

"Hi!"

The general was ordered to turn around, and not long after, he led a young general in his twenties into the courtyard.

Seeing the person coming, Tachibana Zongshige immediately went up to meet him: "Tong Zeng, it really is you, why are you here?"

"Big brother."

Takahashi Tongzeng, the second child of Tachibana Munemog's original bloodline family, first stepped forward to greet his eldest brother, and then explained: "Master Kobayakawa sent me here, and you know that the Ming army here is very difficult to deal with. , specially asked me to come to support."

"That's right."

Tachibana Muneshige nodded after hearing this, and the Kobayakawa mentioned by Takahashi's mouth was Takakage Kobayakawa, the chief general of the Sixth Army.The old man then devoted himself to dealing with the North Koreans, but instead left the difficult Ming army to him.

But Tachibana Zongshige didn't mind this, he didn't feel that he was cheated, but said happily: "With you here, I feel relieved, now even if there are twice as many Ming troops around, I can still defend Niu Feng."

"Just guard Niu Feng?"

Takahashi Tozeng hadn't fought against Ming players before this, but he was very clear about his brother's ability. Seeing that Tachibana Muneshige said this, he was suddenly surprised: "Shouldn't we send the Ming troops who entered the northern part of the Yellow Sea Road , defeat or drive them all away?"

"Defeat?" Tachibana Zongshige shook his head helplessly when he heard this word: "To achieve this, the soldiers and horses in our hands are not enough."

Takahashi Tongzeng frowned upon hearing this: "Not enough? Are Ming's troops really that powerful?"

Tachibana Muneshige didn't speak, because he didn't want to admit this fact either.

However, if he didn't say anything, the young and vigorous Takahashi was still a little unconvinced: "If you are not sure, why don't we find some helpers? There should also be soldiers stationed in Fengshan."

"Dayou Yitong is indeed in Fengshan, but he only has more than [-] troops under his command."

"Isn't that enough? Let me see which troop is nearby."

Takahashi Tongzeng dragged his chin resolutely. After thinking for a while, he really thought of another army: "The Third Army, yes, it is the Third Army. Kuroda stationed all his main forces in Baichuan. We only sent Uemon to Huangkaidao, so we can still find him."

In the thinking of the young Takahashi, since one army is not enough, then gather a few more troops.

With so many soldiers and horses dispatched together, how many post stations guarded by Ming troops can't be defeated?
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a soldier hurried in, breathless and said: "General, something is wrong. The main force of the Ming Dynasty appeared at the foot of Longquan Mountain as if descended from the sky, and has already begun to attack Longquan Mountain."

"What did you say? Longquan Mountain was attacked?"

Takahashi Tongzeng was wondering if he could join forces with Xiao Hedenyoumon a second ago, but now he suddenly heard that Longquan Mountain was under attack, and immediately asked: "Where is the main force of Ming Dynasty? What kind of main force of Ming Dynasty?"

"I don't know about my humble position, I just heard what the soldiers who came from Longquan Mountain asked for help."

"Ask for reinforcements? What about others?"

"He was wounded and passed out as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain. He is now being carried up the mountain."

Hearing this, Tachibana Muneshige and Takahashi looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

Longquan Mountain and Pyongyang, as well as Fengshan and Niufeng are the horns of each other. Although the location is not as important as Pyongyang, if that place is lost, the connection between Niufeng and Pyongyang will be easily cut off by the enemy.

It is no exaggeration to say that Longquan Mountain is Pyongyang's side cover point.

When the war is going well, this place seems insignificant, but once Pyongyang is in an emergency, Longquan Mountain is especially important.It was precisely because of this that the old fox Kuroda would stick a bar there, announcing the existence of his third army in this way.

"The ones who came this time are probably the real main force of the Ming Dynasty." We haven't seen the comatose soldiers asking for help yet, but Muneshige Tachibana was able to analyze some things based on the recent battle situation.

Since two months ago, the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty have been active in this generation, but after dozens of days, they never took the initiative to attack the soldiers and horses of the Japanese country.

And those Ming players who don't have guns, it's okay to guard the station by virtue of the location.But if they took the initiative to attack, they would only expose themselves under the iron cannon, and it was impossible to force Longquan Mountain to send someone for help.

Now that Longquan Mountain is in an emergency, the only explanation can only be that the main force of Ming Dynasty is here!

It came without warning!

"If you go out, there will be, and if you go out, the earth will shake."

After muttering something in a low voice, Tachibana Zongshige finally understood why, in the past few months, the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty had to repair all the post stations in the field.

Relying on these scattered soldiers and horses, Daming firmly grasped the barren mountains and wild lands of Ping'an Road.Let alone go to Yizhou for inspections, our own sentries can't even reach the upper reaches of the Datong River.

In this way, who can know when the Daming soldiers and horses will leave?
Where will they attack first?

According to normal thinking, perhaps Ming Dynasty should attack Pyongyang, recover this important North Korean town first, and then make other plans.

But the fact now is that Daming did not send troops according to this idea.

Pyongyang?

Maybe there will be soldiers and horses attacking the city, but now Daming's offensive thinking is clearly visible.

Capture Longquan Mountain and cut off the northward route of Fengshan and Niufeng.

Completely isolate Pyongyang in Pyongan Road!
Thinking of this, Munemo Tachibana was sweating from the back.

Daming didn't want to regain Pyongyang, they wanted to wipe out the Pyongyang defenders and not give Chief Konishi a chance to escape.
