The edge of Tate River is in the southeast of Nanyuan Castle. Once the Japanese successfully cross, it means that there is no natural danger to defend, and they can only fight according to the city.
Therefore, Lu Li gathered most of the troops he could use here, and mobilized a thousand garrison battalions in addition to the original vanguard battalions.
At this moment, nearly two thousand Liaodong elites were gathered near Tatechuan, with only one thousand left to guard Nanyuan.
However, despite being so prepared, the Japanese stopped between Suxing Ridge and Tunshan Ridge without moving at all.
Several times, Lu Li used the moon capture technique to observe the enemy's situation, and found hundreds of warriors searching one mountain after another.
Obviously, he was looking for Shimazu Yoshihiro.
After such a long time, anyone with any sense of judgment would know that the so-called Ghost of Satsuma, the daimyo who dominated two Japanese eras, had died on the battlefield.
But the warriors are still searching, and the number of people is getting more and more every day.
Needless to say, it must have been a big figure among the Japanese bandits who refused to give up and issued an order like "You must see people alive, and you must see corpses if you die."
However……
Onishimazu was so dead that not even a scum was left.
Not only that, the swords, swords, and armor were all burned by the fire of karma because they were contaminated with sins.
Between heaven and earth, no relics about this man can be found.
In fact, the same was true for the group of Seomjin River demons and Satsuma warriors who died on the battlefield. If the senior Japanese army officials were not stupid, they would know roughly what was going on.
It can only be said that Shimazu Yoshihiro was so important that Utaki Hideie and others had to force themselves, with a hint of fantasy.
"Boss, what kind of chain reaction will this operation have?"
In the military camp, the monk Zhao Feng looked at the map and asked, his expression full of expectation.
"It will allow Nanyuan City to hold on for a longer period of time, so that the subsequent army mobilization will be more calm, and the defense battle around Seoul will be successful." Lu Li answered while holding on to the sand table, his gaze fixed on the right.
The Japanese seem to like the number eight very much. During the Japanese Rebellion in Imjin, there were eight legions. Now when Dingyou is in chaos, there are still eight legions.
The First Legion: Kato Family.
The second legion: Xiaoxi family.
The third legion: Kuroda family.
The Fourth Legion: The Nabeshima family.
Fifth Legion: Shimazu Family
The Seventh Legion: Haesuka Family.
This is the main battle legion.
Ukita Hideie and Mouri Hidemoto have a reserve army, which is the Eighth Army——
Judging from its name, it is very inconspicuous, ranking at the bottom, but it has the largest number of troops, up to 40,000, plus the Sixth Marine Corps of Changzongga.
Now, Lu Li placed the positions of these legions on the sand table in order based on his memory.
In the year of Renchen, the Japanese advanced in three directions.
In the year of Ding You, they happened in both directions.
One left and one right.
The Left Army had already dealt with Lu Li. Under its command were the Second Army, part of the Third Army, the Fifth and Seventh Army, and half of the Eighth Army. The commander-in-chief was Hideie Ukita.
The Right Army was relatively unfamiliar. It consisted of the First Army, part of the Third Army, the Fourth and Sixth Army, and half of the Eighth Army. The commander-in-chief was Hideaki Kobayakawa.
According to the strategy formulated by the Japanese in advance, it is now the first stage. The right-leg army will launch a feint attack from the right, forcing the Ming and North Korean coalition forces to focus their limited forces and attention in the direction of Gyeongsang Province.
The left army that Lu Li faced should attack quickly, capture Nanyuan as quickly as possible, and split Jeolla Province into two. Then, the left and right armies would join forces at the foot of Jeonju City to completely capture Jeolla Road.
But this is history.
Now, Lu Li has changed the situation. At the very beginning of the war, he used full firepower to kill the commander of the Fifth Army and delay the offensive of the left army.
so……
What is the ripple effect?
The so-called rapid attack has turned into a hurried advance. It has become impossible to capture Nanyuan as soon as possible. So how will they change their tactics.
"I have a strong feeling."
Zhao Feng touched his bald head, followed Lu Li's gaze to the right, and continued: "We are playing a little too big this time. After the right army in charge of the feint attack captures Huangshi City, it is likely that they will not go to Quanzhou, but cooperate with the left army. , adjust the direction slightly, and double-team Nanyuan from the front and back."
"Then, the troops gathered together and the army rushed towards the whole state with murderous intent."
"Well, the left route army, which was supposed to move quickly, has been in retreat for thirteen days. It seems that it has done nothing except looking for Shimazu Yoshihiro." Lu Li looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid they are really targeting Nanyuan. If we If you don’t run away, you’ll have to get the lunch box together.”
"I will follow the arrangements." Zhao Feng is very open-minded and is not worried about receiving the lunch box.
Did you receive too few lunch boxes before?
"Then let's stay and kill a few more big names."
Lu Li's voice was low.
"good."
Looking at Zhao Feng with a determined face, Lu Li said again:
"When the time comes, I will assist you to kill a big name with a minimum guarantee."
Generally speaking, he would not make any promises in advance. Because of this, when these words fell in Zhao Feng's ears, it explained what a surprise was.
Daimyo, the feudal armed lord who occupied one or several countries during the Muromachi shogunate, Azuchi-Momoyama period, and Edo shogunate period of Japan, was equivalent to the princes during the Chinese Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Although there is a huge gap between the daimyo, for example, the daimyo of Satsuma Domain, Shimazu Yoshihiro, commanded over 10,000 troops, while a daimyo like Sagara Norifu, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, only had 800 warriors under his command, but he was also a daimyo!
In name, the status is the same as Shimadzu.
As long as they can be killed, the evaluation will definitely not be low during the settlement. After all, there are only those daimyo sent by the Japanese country to conquer the peninsula, and the total number does not exceed 30 people.
And Lu Li, who was already determined to die, was also thinking about which famous names he should kill.
Now, the fifth legion commander Shimazu Yoshihiro has been killed, and among the remaining daimyo of the same level, only:
Kiyomasa Kato, Yukinaga Konishi, Nagamasa Kuroda, Kasuke Hachisuka, Naoshima Naoshima, Katsushige Nabeshima, and Nagasunegabe Motochika.
Ukita Hideie and Mouri Hidemoto were the generals of the left and right route armies respectively. It would be difficult to kill them both.
So Lu Li didn't think too much.
In his eyes, as long as he kills another Daimyo with the rank of legion commander, it doesn't matter if he gets a box lunch.
At this level of difficulty, two of the eight legion commanders could be killed by themselves. Among them, Onishimazu was a dogmatic sect known for his personal force. How many of them could do it?
Ranking purely based on combat effectiveness, I am afraid that only Kato Kiyomasa, the commander of the First Army of the Right Army, can surely beat them, ranking among the seven guns of Shiyue——
In the Tensho 11th year of the Warring States Period in Japan, during the decisive battle between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuie at Shibake, Hideyoshi's seven most outstanding warriors were awarded this honor.
They are:
Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, Zaoya Takenori, Katagiri Shimoto, Kato Yoshiaki, Hirano Nagayasu, and Wakisaka Anji.
In addition, it is true that the status of the daimyo is high, and the daimyo of the arbitrary faction are also good at fighting, but when it comes to the actual ability of individual soldiers to fight, they are still not top-notch.
Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, Kato Yoshiaki, and Wakisaka Yasuharu were four of the seven guns who set foot on the peninsula. The remaining three were of lower status and have not been recorded. They may have stayed in the mainland, or they may have participated in the Choyou Rebellion.
Killing two members of the Qiyue Seven Guns is probably enough to kill a legion commander?
Of course, thinking from this perspective, Kato Kiyomasa would be excluded. He is the regiment commander of the Arbitrary Sect and a member of the Qigue Seven Guns, with both status and strength.
While Lu Li was clinging to death and thinking about how to expand his victory, a fleet of boats followed Tsushima Island and arrived near Shuntian, or to be more precise, the mouth of the Seomjin River.
Hideyoshi has arrived.
Moreover, after receiving the news of Shimazu Yoshihiro's death, apart from frowning and wondering why the demons were so strong, he did not worry about whether the Satsuma Legion would lose its combat effectiveness like Yukinagako Konishi did.
Because he brought Shimazu Yoshihisa, the previous generation head of the Shimazu family, or in other words, unlike ordinary daimyo, the Shimazu family has a dual-house (family governor) system.
"There are two pieces of information, one is that there are only 3,000 Ming troops in Nanyuan, and the other is that there are at least 20,000 Ming troops stationed in Nanyuan."
"Moreover, the monster that killed Guishi Manzi was the ancient monster of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Di Water God Qing Ji."
"But what's interesting is that all the corpses and traces were burned away by the flames. Xiaoxi found some scorch marks among a group of broken mountains."
After saying this, Hideyoshi stroked his katana, which was specially shortened according to his short stature, and went up the river.
Staring at the turbulent river, this Taige, who was overwhelming the country, looked a little dazed.
This is his first time setting foot in a foreign country.
As early as a few years ago, when the war broke out, he wanted to come and have a look, but he was persuaded by his retainers. Now that he had health problems, he finally made up his mind to act and bet everything on this war.
Hideyoshi often couldn't figure out a problem.
Ming Dynasty was a country with abundant products and very advanced technologies, but it was extremely incompetent.
The daimyo's subordinates who were defeated by him back then were a group of defeated soldiers and prodigal dogs, together with some ronin, old farmers, and pirates. Sometimes with only a few dozen people, they could land on the southeast coast and march all the way in, plunder countless gold, silver, jewelry and women, and then drive away.
As a result, stimulated by wealth and women, more and more landless people and farmers joined the ranks of robbers and made a fortune by slaughtering the Ming Dynasty.
Such a rich and vast country is actually ruled by a group of incompetent people?
Hideyoshi felt that this was a waste of natural resources and the greatest and most unforgivable sin in the world. It should be led by a great man like him. In this way, the place would become greater and richer.
However, with his decades of invincible wisdom, determination, and courage, as well as his hundreds of thousands of warriors and invincible generals, how could he lose?
It must be those legion commanders who are unable to do their job!
But it doesn't matter, this time he came in person, crossing the sea with the courage of a lion fighting a rabbit and Mount Tai overwhelming.
We must capture the Eighth Route Army of Li Chao at an even faster speed than the first time, repel the Ming army, and then digest the fat in our mouths and accumulate strength!
In the near future, cross the Yalu River, fight the Ming Dynasty, and plunder everything including luck, land, wealth, and population.
behind.
Shimazu Yoshihisa felt that his master's mental state was a little unstable because there was black mist pouring out of his body. This was a strange, corrupt but dangerous existence.
Tunshan Ridge.
The young and handsome Ukita Hideie looked ahead, which was the Susei Ridge, where the Ghost of Satsuma disappeared.
"Taiko is here."
"He seemed to be in high spirits and had no intention of punishing anyone."
As he spoke, he looked at President Konishi and said meaningfully: "In addition, Your Excellency brought many eminent monks, monk soldiers, and his most trusted warriors with him on this trip."
Almost all the daimyo of the Right Army, led by Kato Kiyomasa, were fanatical Buddhists.
The composition of the left army is different.
Konishi Yukinaga has a fashionable Christian name:
Augustine.
And his son-in-law Zong Yizhi is called Dario.
Omura Kizen's Christian name is Sanche, Arima Harunobu's Christian name is Prodasio...
Many daimyo are Christians, which is not allowed in the eyes of Lord Hideyoshi. He resists foreign sects. If a priest is found while sitting in the army, someone will definitely commit seppuku to atone for it.
As the general of the left army, Utaki Hideie, who has lost the ghost of Satsuma, does not want to see any meaningless death again, especially the current enemy.
"Don't worry, sir."
Xiaoxi met him with firm eyes. He could guarantee that there was no priest in the camp between himself and his son-in-law.
"That's good, let's wait quietly for Mr. Taige to arrive. On the right side of the army that is attacking Huangshi City, Kuroda's main team of the First Army and the Third Army will also be sent to surround them."
First Legion?
Kato!
A strange light flashed in Konishi Yukinaga's eyes.
A copy net without any omissions was formed. No matter whether Nanyuan had 3,000 Ming troops or 30,000 Ming troops, there was only one end:
Defeat.
…
Time passes slowly.
Another five days passed.
The samurai who were searching for Onishimazu in the Susei Ridge completely disappeared. They retreated to their main formation further back, not knowing what they were waiting for.
Lu Li smelled the breath of death.
Zhao Feng smelled the fragrance of the lunch box, and he felt that for him, as long as he killed a famous person before receiving the lunch box, it would be a bloody profit!
The black-maned horse and the bull demon have not yet received a lunch box, and have not tasted the taste of death, but they are not afraid, but full of expectation. They often stand side by side at the highest point beside the Tate River, looking forward to seeing traces of the Japanese.
Day six.
An army of only more than fifty people appeared. It was Li Chao's retreat. The leader was Li Funan, the military envoy, who retreated from Qiuli.
On the way, they encountered many small groups of Japanese scouts, but they showed no fear and swaggered through the middle to support Nanyuan.
Probably the Japanese were stunned by this move that they couldn't see clearly, so they didn't intercept it.
"Those who support troops to protect themselves are all eloquent."
"But the Duke went there alone, and there was only one Li Shilang in the Southern Dynasty."
He didn't expect that besides Zhao Feng's monk soldiers, there would be reinforcements. Even though there were only about fifty people, Lu Li still felt impressed.
In history, this man once had the opportunity to fight out with Yang Yuan when the city was destroyed, but he refused this good offer and carried firewood alone, committed suicide by setting fire to it, and lived and died with Nanyuan City.
So he was also placed at the Tatechuan Camp.
one stone two bird.
Lu Li finally managed to break Tang Chuan into the Li Dynasty's army. If this man goes back, whose orders should those thousands of soldiers follow?
The seventh day.
Everything was calm at first, but the appearance of another familiar face made Lu Li extremely happy. The two President Qian were confused as they had never seen the Commander-in-Chief like this.
Is it a big deal for Mr. Qian who came from the direction of Quanzhou?
Zhao Feng can answer clearly: As for!
Duke's arrival makes the lunch box more delicious.
