Wanli 1592

Chapter 127

Zha Dashou led his troops back to the temporary station of the Ming army in Paju, and handed over the heads and trophies of the Japanese pirates. The Liaodong army generally would not hand them over gold or something, but the Liaodong army didn't care at all about the swords and iron cannons used by the Japanese pirates. It was handed over to convey the news that they had defeated the vanguard of the Japanese pirates and beheaded a Japanese general, saying that the Japanese pirates must have set up defenses in the area of ​​Bichiguan, and their combat power is not weak.

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and then looked at the map, thinking that after this battle, the Japanese pirates would definitely set up defenses in the mountains near Bichiguan, and they might also set up ambushes to attack the Ming army, and the mountains are not suitable for big troops. When the troops are deployed, if a large force enters, the Japanese pirates will ambush from the middle, which will easily cause chaos in the army, which will be disadvantageous to the Ming army.

According to the current posture, it is better to bombard the nearby mountainous area where there may be ambushes from the periphery, and then use artillery fire to clean up one side, and then send elite troops into the mountainous area to kill the Japanese pirates and open the way for the army. The time for the cavalry to rule the roost was only after the striker broke through the Toonseok-hyeon line and entered the Seoul Plain.

"Wu Weizhong, I order you to lead five thousand troops to be the vanguard of our army, break through the mountains of Bichiguan, kill Japanese pirates, and open the way for our army!"

Wu Weizhong immediately took the order: "No!"

As he said that, he ordered five thousand soldiers and fifty cars and rushed to the area of ​​Bichi Pavilion.

As for the Japanese army, several defeated soldiers fled back and told Kuroda Nagamasa the news of their encounter with the Ming army and Kuroda Kazunari's death in battle.

Kazusei Kuroda is one of the Eight Tigers of the Kuroda family. He became a general of the Kuroda family at the age of 13. He is only in his twenties now. He is one of the important retainers of the Kuroda family. He has made many military exploits and has a very good relationship with him. , is a person who the Kuroda family relies heavily on, and who had to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility...why...

Before he had time to be sad, he had a more intuitive feeling about the combat power of the Ming army. The firepower was extremely strong, and the combat power was also very strong. There was absolutely no chance of winning against the enemy with a relatively equal force. We must find a way to use the terrain advantage here to snipe Ming army, making it impossible for large troops to pass through smoothly.

Then the best way is to occupy the high ground, condescending, suppress the Ming army with intensive firepower, and then send elite soldiers to sneak attack the Ming army's main formation, and fight together with the Ming army, so that the Ming army's artillery can't do its best, so that there is a chance of victory.

With this in mind, Kuroda Nagamasa immediately ordered his iron gunners to occupy the highest hills here, set up the only few cannons at the highest point, set up his headquarters at the highest point, and then set up his only five hundred The cavalry and a large number of elite infantry lay in ambush, and rushed into the Ming army formation to fight the Ming army to the death as soon as the order was given.

The troops led by Wu Weizhong are still the same as when they attacked Pyongyang before, with the cooperation of multiple arms, including [-] Korean monk soldiers who are very elite and good at fighting. Zen Master Xiujing volunteered to fight side by side with Wu Weizhong. The real characters agree with each other, and they cooperate with each other quite tacitly. It always reminds Wu Weizhong of the days when he fought side by side with the Shaolin monks and soldiers when he was fighting in the southeast.

I don't know if those people are okay.

But whether they are still alive or not, they will be very happy to know that the troops led by General Qi have been carrying out the mission that General Qi delivered before his death. This army was born because of fighting the Japanese, so Even if it ends, it will only end because of the anti-Japanese war.

In his opinion, General Qi's death was not worth it, but General Qi himself did not have much regret. When he passed away, he never regretted every day and every minute he had gone through. He just missed his army and its soul. Wu Weizhong, as Qi Jiguang The only hope for the orthodox descendants of Qi Jiguang is to pass on Qi Jiguang's philosophy, so that the military spirit of this army will exist forever.

But now, Wu Weizhong found that he seemed to have found a person who was very similar to General Qi in various aspects. Even their own direct descendants will let them give credit to other local troops, impartially, even the Liaodong Army, which is said to be suppressed, still reuses it.

A few days ago, the southern soldiers were not used to the icy climate in Liaodong, and felt that the winter clothes were a bit thin. They wanted more winter clothes to keep out the cold, but they were afraid of being ridiculed by the northerners, so they did not want to lose face, so they carried them.

Then, before the battle, the quartermaster suddenly sent a carload of winter clothes, saying that this was ordered by Admiral Xiao, and that the climate in the north and the south is very different, so the brothers in the south should not miss the big deal by catching a cold.

This action warmed the hearts of the Southern soldiers. Although they didn’t say anything, they already recognized the general in their hearts. Since General Qi passed away, they have never been treated so kindly by anyone. Since then, this Southern army is doomed. To become a die-hard supporter of Xiao Ruxun, no matter what battlefield, as long as the general is Xiao Ruxun Xiao General, they will go through fire and water without a doubt.

Wu Weizhong didn't know much about Shandong soldiers and Xuan Dabing, but in the limited communication, he also knew that Xiao Ruxun tried his best to create the same opportunities for each army. Xiao Ruxun was good at using firearms to defend and defeat the enemy. Both field battles and street battles are very effective, but the status of Shandong gunmen and Xuanda crossbowmen is a bit embarrassing.

However, Xiao Ruxun will not ignore the emotions of these two troops. It is okay to say that Xiao Ruxun and Xuan Dabing's general Ma Gui are old, but he has no contact with the Shandong soldiers, and he treats the Shandong soldiers in the same way, and lives by the sea. Shandong soldiers sent a batch of winter clothes to keep them warm.

Xiao Ruxun took into account the differences between the north and the south. When he came up with the new pancake military rations, he went to the Zheying camp to ask them how they felt, worrying that they would get upset if they were not used to eating them.

Although this general was unexpectedly young, but his broad mind, far-sighted vision, and fairness in dealing with people and things, even an arrogant Li Rusong would not be able to say a word of no.

All this made Wu Weizhong feel as if he had seen General Qi in his youth, and compared to General Qi in his youth, this general was obviously more capable. From Ningxia to North Korea, he had never lost a single defeat.

Soldiers like to follow a strong general. A strong general has enough ability to command his subordinates and lead them to victory. He will not lose the lives of his subordinates for no reason. He cherishes the life of every soldier. General Xiao cherishes the lives of soldiers. To the point where they couldn't believe it, they would rather use a large amount of precious medicinal materials to save the lives of soldiers. The saying is that medicinal materials have a price and life is priceless.

Therefore, up to now, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army has actually killed less than 2000 soldiers, about [-] to [-]. About [-] soldiers died in battle, and the soldiers who were seriously injured and could not be rescued after the war accounted for More than one thousand, in contrast, the death toll of Japanese pirates has exceeded [-], and the number of beheaded troops has exceeded [-].

Everyone's morale is still high, because they believe that with the leadership of Admiral Xiao, they will definitely win the battle, and if they exchange their heads for money, they will be able to save their lives to the maximum extent.

Once a soldier develops trust and admiration for the general, the order will be as smooth and natural as the general's arms and fingers, and someone will immediately execute a military order.

And even if faced with a difficult situation, as long as the general is still there, even if the army is surrounded by enemies, as long as the general is there and fight hard without retreating or admitting defeat, the soldiers will not surrender and collapse even if they fight to the last one.

This is the military spirit that has been extremely difficult for generals since ancient times.
