Chapter 168 Busy Busan and Calm Tsushima

Or iron and blood is the most convincing.

Seeing the dead man, the high-ranking Japanese army, who were arguing endlessly and staged a full martial arts, calmed down a little bit, and all looked at Ukita Hideka's house in surprise.

Ukita Hide's family grabbed one of their retainers, and hurriedly ordered: "Go to the Ming army barracks to find Xiao Ruxun immediately! Ask him what's going on! We finally signed an armistice agreement, and this kind of thing can't happen! Tell him to stop attacking first, we will thoroughly investigate this matter, and no matter whether we can't find the missing soldier, we will definitely give him an explanation!"

Then he grabbed another retainer and ordered: "Go to Fukushima Zhengzheng's place and ask me what's going on! If he did it! Let him commit seppuku! If he didn't do it, take it to me." Show evidence! Otherwise, I will still commit seppuku! Such a good situation was ruined by him, he is a sinner! He is a spy! He is a traitor to the whole of Japan!!!”

Looking at the Ukita Hide family with beards and hair, the two retainers were afraid of being killed, so they nodded repeatedly and rushed out. The Ukita Hide family turned their heads to look at the chaotic headquarters again, and shouted "" That's enough." This shocked the audience.

Then he rushed up angrily and kicked them one by one, took off all their knives and threw them on the ground, scolded the group of people, ordered them to return to the army immediately to appease the army, and told them to go outside It was just an accident, and it will end soon. Don't let the army's morale get confused.

The news of the armistice has spread throughout the barracks. Everyone is extremely tired of the war and just wants to go home. At this time, when the war starts again, the morale will be extremely low. Basically, these soldiers and horses are no longer available. They are frightened by the Ming army and cannot fight anymore. , can only negotiate, at worst, pay a little more compensation, and then find someone to send out the dead ghost, and make sure the Ming army stops attacking.

The artillerymen of the Ming army were blasting vigorously. More than 100 cannons were blasting at a city. Although the Japanese city was strong, it was impossible to say that it had no effect when the solid bullets hit the city and the solid bullets hit the buildings. , that is not reinforced iron, there will definitely be losses.

And this group of Ming troops fought under the leadership of Xiao Ruxun for a long time, and gradually became familiar with the tactics of using Xiao Ruxun's usual artillery to suppress firepower, and then the infantry charged under the cover of firepower to attack the city.

Batches of infantry rushed to the Japanese city carrying ladders and wooden boards, filled in holes when they encountered moats, and built simple wooden bridges when they encountered moats. The Japanese pirates were stunned by the artillery fire of the Ming army, and they couldn't resist at all. The defensive forces at the top of the city had been completely destroyed, and they were waiting for the Ming army to rush into the city to fight in the streets. Only when the Ming army rushed into the city, the artillery fire would stop.

I just don't know how many Japanese pirates are still alive, and how many were killed by the Ming army before they could react.

The envoys who came to the camp of the Ming army to beg for mercy were soon released from the Japanese city by baskets holding a white flag. Wu Weizhong, who was in charge of the main attack here, saw that the white flag was being held, so he ordered the artillery fire to stop and let the Japanese pirate come over and ask After searching for a while, knowing that he was going to find Xiao Ruxun, I felt amused, so I let him pass, but the gunfire didn't stop.

As soon as the Japanese pirate envoy left, artillery fire rang out there, and there was no sign of stopping the attack during the negotiation period, which made the Japanese pirate envoy's heart tense, his feet slipped and his butt fell to the ground, he got up tremblingly, and then started again. Under the taunting gaze of the soldiers escorted by the Ming army, they hurried to the Ming army camp.

Xiao Ruxun was resting at this time, the battle ahead was very fierce, but he was lying on the sun lounger specially made for him by the craftsmen in the barracks, pretending to be aggressive, looking confident, and did not fight in person.

He knew that the Japanese pirate envoys would definitely come to beg for mercy, and he would have to play tricks, but he didn't intend to really attack the whole front, but he just created an illusion to make the Japanese pirates tremble for a while, to waste their reason and energy, and make them Exhausted, and thus slow to react to what happened to Tsushima, deepened their desperation.

With so many Japanese cities, it is at this time that the Ming army can take advantage of it, try to capture one or two Japanese cities, and then hit the Japanese pirates hard. If they really attack them all, the Japanese pirates will definitely rely on the Japanese cities to fight to the death. To counterattack, Xiao Ruxun's troops are not strong enough.

You have to attract attention for the navy!
Everything Xiao Ruxun did was to attract attention for the navy, and to restrain the Japanese pirate navy fleet in Busan Port, so that it could not go to Tsushima Island to delay the major event of the coalition navy.

He set his sights on the direction of the Lishui camp. According to the original plan, today is the day when the Lishui Ming Dynasty Naval Combined Army will fight against Ma. Although he is not a landlubber, he has never experienced a water battle. Talking about the development is okay, but he is definitely a rookie if he really wants to take command on the battlefield. In order not to interfere with the command of the experts, he did not participate in the water battle he had longed for.

In the past few days, Admiral Yi Sun-sin's command had secretly traveled seven times by boat to and from the waters around Tsushima Island and the Yeosu base to check the distance and the surrounding hydrological conditions, but none of them were discovered by Japanese pirate ships.

Or to be more precise, there is no large-scale naval fleet of Japanese pirates at all. It seems that the previous battles made them feel afraid of Yi sun-shin. Take the initiative to attack Yi sun-shin.

Anyway, they lost a lot of fights with Li Sunshin several times, and now it's hard to say that Li Sunshin won't learn how to behave, set up traps at the Lishui base, and follow suit to wipe out their entire army.

The navy is not the army, so you can just bring one or two people over to make up for it. The navy is useless without warships, and it takes at least 20 days to build a warship. If one is sunk, one will be missing. , It is not so fast to build ships from Japan, and warships are different from ordinary ships, and it is even more difficult to build. When the warships are completely wiped out, how will the sea transportation routes be maintained?Should the Army still fight?
Why don't Li Sunshin turn upside down in the sea?Do you want to fight this battle?At that time, if Toyotomi Hideyoshi doesn't hack himself to death, the starving army in North Korea can tear himself up and eat him.

After repeated battles and defeats in front of Li Sunshin, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese pirate navy, Guki Jialong, made up his mind not to provoke Li Sunshin and stick to the line of defense that he could hold. Later, he was scolded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his heart sank In the middle of it, there is no idea of ​​taking the initiative to attack.

Right now, he is nesting in the port of Tsushima and doing the work of the maritime security team, sending warships to escort the maintenance ships, and sending ships to patrol the sea from time to time to prevent Yi Sun-shin from sneaking attacks.

The twentieth day of the first lunar month is a rare and good day. The sky is clear, the breeze is sultry, and the sun shines just right. It neither looks too cold nor makes people feel cold. After breakfast early in the morning, Yoshitaka Kuki and his subordinate Todo Takatora were drinking and having fun in the city of the port, and the sailors were also lazily basking in the sun, with no intention of attacking at all.

After the news of Zongyi Zhizhi's death spread to Tsushima Island, the Zong family began to scramble for the throne, vying to be the owner of Tsushima Island. In order to ensure the stability of Tsushima Island, the Army Command ordered Kuki Yoshitaka Take over Tsushima on behalf of the island.

Kuki Yoshitaka stayed at Tsushima Island with peace of mind, drinking and reading poems every day, doing arty things, never mentioning the war to relieve the pressure on the army.

The naval army also knew the news of the army's disastrous defeat. They were beaten back to Pusan ​​by the Ming army from Pyongyang within a month. It is said that the big empire is still the big empire. I really don't know what Toyotomi Hideyoshi is thinking. He actually tried to invade the Ming Dynasty in vain.

The navy is inherently weaker than the army. They can’t even deal with a North Korean general, let alone a famous general. Fortunately, the Ming army didn’t have a navy to send them over, otherwise they would be miserable. If Tsushima Island was taken away, The navy of the Ming army can even use this as a springboard to attack the mainland of Japan. Nagoya is not far from the sea. Once the Ming army lands and threatens Nagoya, everything will be hidden. Toyotomi Hideyoshi will definitely go crazy. .

The current situation is very clear. The Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat and almost got nothing. They could only retreat in embarrassment. Well, riding a tiger is hard to get off, and even the navy will suffer. Once Toyotomi Hideyoshi knows the truth, who can get the benefits?

You can think of it with your feet.

Kuki Yoshitaka heaved a long sigh, and then turned his gaze to his subordinate Todo Takatora on the opposite side.
