Jiutang Camp.
The Japanese pirate soldiers had no horses, and it was already afternoon when the news from all sides reached the Jiutang camp.
After reading, Naoto Kudo and several military advisors looked at each other a few times, and they all fell into deep thought.
"General," a military advisor said hesitantly, "What on earth does Prince Ning mean?"
Tazigou has proven to be an important transportation route for the Starfall Legion to enter and leave the Yuanning Mountains.
Now the two sides are ambushing back and forth in the nearby mountains, and the battle can be said to be quite fierce.
But just looking at the scale of the battle, Yunchui people were more like fishing, and they didn't look like they were in a hurry to reopen Tazigou.
Someone touched their chin, "Perhaps there are not many Xingluo people in the Yuanning Mountains and they cannot launch a big offensive at the moment?"
Kudo Naoto didn't comment, he just looked deeply at the military advisor who spoke.
"Are you sure the Ningwang people are still in the east coast plain?"
There was silence all around. It took a long time before someone murmured, "Back to the general, yesterday there were spies who saw the 'Ren' flag near the South Bank with their own eyes."
As for now, we don't know.
Kudo Naoto nodded and slowly looked towards the Yuanning Pass on the map.
"Yuanning Shankou sent word that Liang Ru of the Starfall Army suddenly came to the northeast with three thousand troops in the middle of the night?"
"Back to General," the military advisors nodded, all looking puzzled, "General Suzuki's exact words are indeed true."
Prince Ning now holds great power over Yun Chui. As long as he returns home alive, his future will be immeasurable.
Now that his retreat was blocked, he stayed on the south bank. Even Liang Rushi didn't go back to rescue Tazigou, but instead walked farther and farther to the northeast?
Kudo Naoto was also a little unbelievable.
Since he couldn't figure it out for the moment, he stopped thinking about it.
"Don't worry about Liang Rushi, everyone will keep an eye on Prince Ning's whereabouts."
"Sooner or later he will return to the Yuanning Mountains through Tazigou or have someone send grain and grass to the east coast through Tazigou."
Bang bang.
Having said this, Kudo Naoto knocked hard on the small red circle on the map.
"As long as we hold on to this place, the big fish like Prince Ning won't be able to escape."
"Send the order and continue to increase troops around Tazigou to form an ambush circle as soon as possible. As soon as King Ning approaches, everyone will attack immediately, leaving him unable to escape."
"Yes!" A group of messengers left in a hurry.
"General," a military advisor couldn't help but look in the direction of Yuanning Pass, "General Suzuki has been shouting for help. Should we send more people there?"
Hum.
Kudo Naoto smiled coldly and said resolutely: "No need."
Wu Siyuan was one of the few generals in Baekje who was good at fighting.
But he has a fatal flaw.
Wu Siyuan's surname was Wu but not Li. Even if he married the princess and became the consort, Baekje's senior officials were always worried about him.
Now the troops led by Jiang Xuesong have almost all of Wu Siyuan's trump cards, or most of Baekje's defense force in the Yuanning Mountains.
They might be able to break through Suzuki Colonel's defense line, but as soon as they enter the east coast plain of Hiroshige, with their small number of people, they will not have enough follow-up force to continue the attack.
It would have been better if Wu Siyuan had withdrawn his troops to the narrow post road in time, otherwise they would have to be devoured bit by bit on the vast plains.
"But," a military advisor almost jumped up in excitement, "General, now is the time for spring plowing. Once Jiang Xuesong and the others come in, our crops will be ruined."
"Don't worry." Naoto Kudo sneered, "Send an order to Colonel Suzuki. If he really can't hold on, let him set up a defense line south of Yuanning Pass to prevent Jiang Xuesong from attacking Tazigou."
As for the east, it depends on whether Wu Siyuan has the courage to continue sending troops deeper.
"This..." The military advisors couldn't help but look at the map.
Looking at the empty east side, they seemed to see patches of vibrant crops. When they thought of Jiang Xuesong sharpening his knife and coming in, they suddenly felt like their hearts were twisting.
However, at this time, they wanted to persuade Kudo Naoto, but they didn't know how to speak.
After a long while, someone spoke in a tactful tone, "General, Prince Ning is just one person. Although he is brave and good at fighting, on a battlefield with thousands of troops and horses, his strength alone is not of much concern."
"Are we focusing too much on him?"
As a result, many areas that require attention and defense are ignored.
"I understand what you mean." Naoto Kudo smiled brightly.
He raised his head and looked southward with burning eyes.
"With King Ning's current status, we only need to capture him and force him to sign an alliance under the city. Hehe, by then, let alone the Baekje Peninsula, all our troubles will be solved."
The military advisors looked at each other with bitterness in their mouths, and they tried to persuade me a few more times.
"My decision has been made, general. You don't have to say anything else." Naoto Kudo was not moved at all and directly raised his hand to stop the military advisors from talking.
"Yes!" Several people looked at each other and had to give up.
Kudo Naoto nodded with satisfaction, his eyes fell on the south bank, and he soon became a little dissatisfied.
"What happened to Ukawa Taishi? Who asked him to come back with the navy?"
As long as the shipbuilding base on the south bank is still there, it seems that King Ning will stay there and set fire to it, so that he can quietly lay a dragnet in Tazigou.
"General," someone interceded on behalf of Ukawa Taishi, "the navy ships have been fighting alone at sea, and the news on land has never been well informed. It is estimated that General Ukawa also saw that the fire on the shore had not been extinguished for a long time, so he brought his troops back to take a look. "
snort!
Kudo Naoto snorted coldly.
"It's unreasonable to put out fires. Has he forgotten the purpose of going to sea this time?"
Bang bang!
Naoto Kudo tapped the three food islands on the map.
"If the three food islands are destroyed again, let's see what he tells me."
"Send an order to Ukawa Taishi. Regardless of whether the fire on the south bank is extinguished or not, let them immediately allocate manpower to guard the three food islands. Otherwise, they will be severely punished."
Report!
Just then, a messenger rushed in screaming.
"General, the first to third battalions of the Starfall Legion have been running around since last night. Some people even broke into the area about fifty miles outside my camp. They, they..."
"What's wrong with them?" A military advisor was very dissatisfied. "They are still hesitating in front of the general. How can you behave like this?"
The messenger shrank his neck.
He stopped talking and quickly dug into his arms, and then took out a crumpled piece of paper.
The military advisor took it and looked at it, his eyes widened immediately, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
what's the situation?
Kudo Naoto frowned and reached out to take it.
He glanced at it casually, and his heart suddenly dropped a few times.
Ukawa Taishi was defeated in the naval battle, and the three fleets of Haruta, Kamemaru and Sugi surrendered.
boom!
After regaining consciousness, Naoto Kudo slapped the table in front of him heavily.
"Immediately ask Ukawa Taishi about the specific situation. At the same time, these leaflets will be confiscated and the contents above will not be circulated among the people and soldiers."
"Any violation will be punished by shooting without mercy."
After announcing this, Naoto Kudo calmed down.
Looking at the information in his hand again, he felt a slight chill running down his back.
Fortunately, Shinya Iwagami tried to sneak attack on Kuhara Racecourse a few years ago.
Although he failed in the end, Kudo Naoto killed a lot of generals who could talk to the clouds.
In today's East Coast Plain, there are very few people who can understand Yunchui language and recognize Yunchui characters, so the above content should not have spread much.
"Find all three families, men, women, old and young, and send them all to Yuanning Mountain Pass."
