"Leave."
Lu Li had been idle for too long, so he naturally would not refuse Liu Wei's invitation and decided to accompany him to fight Shuntian.
Dongguo Wushuang?
Zhang Fei of Japan?
Lu Li, who once plotted to kill Xiguo Wushuang Tachibana Muneshige, felt that taking away the so-called Dongguo Wushuang would be a good idea.
The Allied Navy left the base on the 15th, but stayed at Luolao Island for two days. It set off again on the 18th, arrived at Zuosuiying via Fangtak, and arrived at Suncheon on the morning of the 20th. Youdao on the southwest side of the Japanese city.
For the Army, this is amazing speed!
But the navy is different. With the help of wind and tide, if you are serious about it, it should only take three days to arrive. The reason why it is so slow is that after the honeymoon period, the two generals under Lu Li finally broke out. contradiction.
The strategic mission of the Navy is very clear:
Sweeping across Jeolla and Gyeongsang waters.
Suppress as many Japanese naval forces as possible.
Because water warfare is very special and involves many methods, Xing Jie, who oversees the entire peninsula war situation, did not stipulate a specific combat route and gave the commanders the power to make their own decisions.
When Lu Li commanded a fleet for the first time, he mostly listened to the advice of the two commanders and followed the good ones.
On the way, we encountered some enemy forces!
Chen Li believed that the easier things should be done first and then the more difficult ones. First, he should defeat the puppet troops of the Li Dynasty operating in the Nanhai Islands to resolve his worries, and then support Liu Wei;
Yi Sun-shin concluded that the puppet troops who surrendered to the enemy and rebelled against the country were nothing to worry about. As long as the main force of the Sunchoncheon Japanese army was killed, these guys would definitely collapse without a fight.
Everyone is reasonable, but no one can convince anyone.
As a result, the two of them had a big quarrel in Zuoshui Camp over this disagreement in front of Lu Li, the uncrowned admiral. Chen Li became anxious and said that he would ask the General to ask for the Ming Emperor's Shangfang Sword——
This really exists.
A ritual weapon containing the energy of the Ming Dynasty dragon cannot be used to fight the enemy on the battlefield. It has a very single function. Anyone under his command will be killed if he does not obey orders.
Hearing this, before Lu Li could speak, Yi Sun-shin became impatient. With a stick in his neck, he said, "Just kill me. Anyway, I only fight Japanese, and Koreans don't fight Koreans."
When the two were arguing, Lu Li made up his mind and said that Admiral Liu Wei was eager to march into Shuntian and urgently needed the cooperation of the naval forces. He should quickly support him and deal with the Nanhai Island puppet troops later.
The chief had spoken, and no matter how reluctant Chen Li was, he had to do it.
In addition, the relationship between him and Yi Sun-shin did not deteriorate because of this. They just discussed the matter. After all, they were leading the army alone all year round and stayed at sea, so they must have their own opinions.
On the 20th, night.
The coalition forces arrived at Suncheon Maeyang.
In the early morning of the next day, because the tide was too shallow for close combat, Lu Li ordered his fleet to surround the waterfront of Shuntian Wa Fortress and bombard the city with naval guns.
When Honda Tadakatsu saw the dazzling flags flying overseas, and the black-sailed ships of the Ming and Dynasty, he immediately frowned and sighed, and strictly ordered his samurai not to leave the city to meet the enemy.
Anyway, Shuntian was built extremely solidly, and there were priests blessing it in the city, so it was not afraid of long-range bombardment.
In this way, Honda Tadakatsu waited until the sun was about to set, and then sent a group of about two hundred people out of the city to test.
Then, this group of warriors were defeated by the coyote soldiers that Chen Li relied on most, and they hurriedly retreated into Shuntian City and continued to be unable to get out.
…
That night, Yi Sun-shin was worried that the Japanese would launch a night attack, so he personally led elite patrols in various camps all night.
At the same time, the puppet troops in the South China Sea who were lucky enough to escape wanted to see if there was any chance. However, Lu Li discovered them early and led a fleet to attack them head-on, seizing the ships and grabbing food.
Most of these rebellious scum were buried in the sea, and only a few successfully landed and escaped.
After all, this was the first major battle since leaving Seoul. From Lu Li down, morale was very high. Early on the morning of the 22nd, taking advantage of the high tide, the Allied Navy launched a massive attack.
After all, Honda Tadakatsu is also unparalleled in the Eastern Kingdom. He may not always be a coward, and he always hides in the city. Sooner or later he will be killed, so he simply tries to send troops to counterattack.
Attacking land from sea, apart from the advantage of artillery fire, is also risky.
The flagship of the guerrilla general Ji Jin accidentally ran aground on the beach. The Japanese seized the opportunity and surrounded and attacked it.
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty's ship was high, so even if it ran aground, it would still take some time for the Japanese to get up.
There was no need for Lu Li to separate his troops and rescue him.
This guy stood on the side of the ship, carrying a cannon on his shoulder, and hit the Japanese pirates surrounding him randomly, blasting them away.
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
Subsequently, a nearby fleet rushed over and rescued the stranded flagship.
Only eleven Allied troops died in this battle, and guerrilla general Ji Jin was shot in the left arm.
The Japanese suffered numerous casualties.
However, while fighting, Lu Li, Chen Li, and Li Sunchen all discovered one thing. Where did Liu Wei's West Route Army go?
This was his fault.
The fleet successfully mobilized the Japanese from the city. Why didn't the army in the north take the opportunity to attack the city? Didn't hear any movement.
Moreover, the main force of the navy is sailors, who have to control ships and fight naval battles. The wolf soldiers responsible for land battles are strong, but the number is not very large compared to the Japanese, and it is difficult to maintain this formation for a long time.
Finally, after a stalemate for a while, Lu Li had no choice but to order the withdrawal and evacuated the fleet deeper into the ocean before the tide ebbed.
To be honest, he didn't feel very happy.
It’s hard to live up to its reputation!
During the first Japanese rebellion, this old boy didn't fight any tough battles. He just opened his mouth and said, "Now that we are leading an army alone, we can realize our ambitions. Why are we so lazy?"
A young general with good skills was sent out to ask Liu Wei what was going on for Lu Li.
It was okay not to ask, but when he asked, Lu Li became angry. The old boy did nothing but urged his more than 20,000 troops to leisurely build siege equipment!
The Navy had been dragging their feet for enough, because the two generals had a disagreement and were delayed for two days. Lu Li felt that he could not help his brothers in the Western Route Army.
The results of it?
Liu Wei is really careless. According to what his young general said, they have just started making tools, and judging from the situation, they won't be able to finish it in four or five days.
"This guy... is too passive and slow in his work."
Chen Li was unhappy.
However, Lu Li felt unhappy and had already come to help, so he might as well leave. Against his will, he praised: "Admiral Liu has a delicate mind and wants to fight a well-prepared siege."
In any case, the water and land coalition forces did surround the Japanese, and such a large-scale production of siege equipment could also have a deterrent effect.
So... Liu Dadao's movements are uncomfortably slow, but his form is stronger than his own.
Only one leader of Li Chaoyi's army sighed after meeting Liu Wei:
"Mr. Liu has no heart for war, so he will retreat with peace."
Anyway, Lu Li didn't want to believe it. He expected Liu Wei to surprise him and temporarily stationed the fleet overseas, waiting for good news on land.
A very quiet five days.
The Ming army on land was collectively engaged in carpentry work, while Honda Tadakatsu was calculating food reserves in the city.
Twenty-nine.
You're done, it's time to attack the city!
