Not to mention, Hauge has experienced a lot, and he really has some ideas about the current situation.
However, when he opened his mouth to speak, he found that there were people around him. He finally hesitated and asked Matsudaira Nobutsuna: "The villain does have a plan. Please step aside!"
Matsudaira Nobutsuna actually had no hope. When he heard this, he didn't expect that Hauge really had a way, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He quickly stood up and ordered him to retreat, leaving only Hauge. After tidying up his appearance, he bowed to Hauge, and then sincerely requested: "Please give me your advice, Mr. Hauge!"
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Hauge whispered to him: "Actually, the method is also simple. It is still the same as before, cut off the tail to survive. Selecting the elite troops close to you to evacuate will not only save food, but also allow others to stay." The army holds back the Ming army’s pursuit. This is the best solution at the moment!”
Upon hearing this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna's expression of surprise disappeared immediately.
He didn't even want to think carefully about Hauge's suggestion, but he knew that this method would definitely work. However, his original idea was to lead the army to fight a big victory, but the result was that he had to cut his thigh again. To be honest, it really hurt!
"If you have other good ideas, sir, just treat it as a villain and say nothing." Seeing that Matsudaira Nobutsuna lowered his head and said nothing, Hauge added another sentence.
But in his heart, he sneered: How could there be other good strategies!
Sure enough, Matsudaira Nobutsuna raised his head when he heard the sound, glanced at him, and said with a wry smile: "There is no other good idea, but this is the only one."
No way, he had no other choice.
There was no way to delay it any longer. Matsudaira Nobutsuna understood this and immediately sent an order to summon his confidants and began to secretly arrange the withdrawal.
I have to say that he still has the ability to lead troops to fight. Under his control, his elite confidantes were mobilized, only about 20,000 of them. They mobilized the army under the pretext of adjusting the ambush, and then secretly withdrew under the cover of night. Even before leaving, he did not summon other troops and let them fight for the Japanese country.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it clearly, but that he has no food. When he evacuated secretly, he didn't even want to stay to eat.
After dawn, he led his army to retreat south. Before he was ten miles away, he heard loud noises on the mountain where the ambush was originally located. In this regard, he had no choice but to pray to Amaterasu to bless them, and then left without hesitation.
When leaving, Matsudaira Nobutsuna also said to Hauge in a matter-of-fact manner: "Thanks to Hauge-kun this time, we can preserve the vitality of our great Japanese country."
He didn't blame Hauge for the morale that was discovered before, but he didn't pay attention to the ignored details.
At this time, he had already made up his mind. After rushing back to Busan, he would be fully prepared to fight with his back to the sea. Even if the Ming army wanted to defeat him, it would have to pay a huge price.
But he didn't know how the countermeasures that Li Dingguo discussed with Lu Da after learning about the ambush could only be to prepare for it!
…………
Li Dingguo knew that there was a Japanese army lurking twenty miles ahead. Although the Korean people could not tell how many Japanese soldiers there were, he could probably guess based on the descriptions of the Korean people that it would definitely not be less than 30,000 people. In other words, there will definitely not be many Japanese troops in Busan. Moreover, if the Japanese army wanted to ambush the imperial officers and soldiers, they would definitely have to bring elite troops. That means that the Japanese army in Busan is probably not elite.
Therefore, Li Dingguo's idea was to bypass the Japanese ambush in front of him and attack the Japanese base camp of Busan directly, catching him by surprise and attacking him unprepared.
So, he asked about the terrain here.
When it comes to familiarity with the terrain, neither the Ming army nor the Japanese army are as familiar as the local Koreans. After asking this question, it turned out that there was indeed a path that could bypass the place where the Japanese ambush.
In this case, Li Dingguo is not polite. He immediately discussed with Lu Da: Lu Da led 5,000 cavalry troops and a grain transport fleet to bluff here to intimidate the Japanese army and drag down the Japanese army; while Li Dingguo himself led 5,000 elite cavalry troops and marched from the trail. Bypassing where the Japanese army was, they rushed thousands of miles to attack Busan.
As long as we can defeat the enemy in Busan, we can get in touch with the Ming Dynasty Navy, and we will not be too nervous about the logistics and food for 5,000 people.
At this time, Li Dingguo was hurrying on his way. There was a North Korean guide to guide the way, which was at least twice as fast as the Japanese's marching speed.
In the evening of that day, the North Korean guide reported to Li Dingguo: "Commander, we will reach Busan in another twenty miles."
Hearing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but feel overjoyed, he was finally here.
So, he immediately ordered the entire army to rest and reorganize, and then sent Ye Fushou forward to investigate the situation of the enemy in Pusan.
At this time, there were less than 20,000 Japanese troops in Busan, and there were more than 30,000 Japanese civilians. Under the command of Inoue Masashige, keeping in mind Tokugawa Iemitsu's message, he asked these people to make the decision to cross the sea. The gesture of escape. Most of the people were concentrated on the beach, cutting wood to build rafts, etc. Not to mention, they immediately attracted the attention of the Ming Navy.
Many Ming warships came nearby and used artillery to greet the busy Japanese pirates on the shore.
"Boom...boom...boom..." sporadic artillery sounds sounded from time to time.
Every time it sounded, it was as if the artillery was very powerful. The Japanese pirates on the shore heard the wind and fled, disappearing in an instant. It took a long time to wait until it appeared on the shore again. Every time this happens, you can always hear unbridled ridicule coming from the Ming army's warships.
In response to this, Inoue Shigemasa, who was hiding in a safe place on the shore, sneered, thinking to himself, let you smart dogs be proud for the time being. When the General's naval reinforcements arrive, you will be caught off guard and you may cry!
As for the shore, he really tried his best.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna took away the elite, and most importantly, took away everything that could be eaten. Fortunately, this is the beach, so we can continue to catch something to eat from the sea every day. When the tide goes out, you can pick up some food. Although everyone shared it, it was so little that it was impossible to eat enough. But it has allowed these Japanese to make moves to attract the Ming army. In Inoue Masashige's view, it is the best thing to do.
Seeing the scene of being bullied by the Ming army every day, Inoue Masashige couldn't help but pray in his heart that the navy sent by the general would show up quickly and beat these Ming navy to cry for father and mother!
In addition, he often wonders, how is the situation with Matsudaira Nobutsuna? Calculating the time, we should be in contact with the Ming army, right? The Ming army would definitely be fooled and be caught off guard by Matsudaira Nobutsuna, right? Yes, that must be the case. You must know that he is known as "Wisdom Izu" and is one of the most outstanding leading commanders in the Japanese country today! Anyway, in this regard, Inoue Masashige is absolutely convinced!
After Matsudaira Nobutsuna defeated the invading Ming army, it was best to come back with his head, hanging it on a pole and inserting it into the sea, all along the long coastline. In this way, there is no need to send the Japanese to attract the Ming Navy in such a embarrassing manner. Maybe they can directly scare away the Ming Navy, right?
If there is a great victory on land and a great victory at sea, the Japanese country will be bitter at first and then sweet, turning defeat into victory. Not only will he and Matsudaira Nobutsuna not be held responsible for the previous defeat, they will even be rewarded by the general. In the Japanese country Leave a mark in the history books...
Inoue Shigemasa was eating grilled fish and thinking about the bright future from time to time. During this time, he was in a rare good mood.
On this day, he hid in a place with a wide view halfway up the mountain. Watching the Ming Dynasty Navy coming to bully the Japanese again, he was no longer angry. He just said to the bodyguard beside him: "Amaterasu gave me a dream last night." Officer, we are saying that Lord Lao Zhong is having a great victory, and the Ming Dynasty navy in front of us will be completely wiped out. Just wait until you spread the word, and don’t be depressed by the current predicament. We will be able to turn around soon, and everyone will be rewarded by then. There is so much land in North Korea, and every meritorious warrior will definitely be able to get land and grain fields!"
It doesn't matter how much you open the short pie, as long as you encourage the morale of the people below and let them continue to act.
Hearing Inoue Shigemasa's words, his personal guards were naturally happy and quickly issued orders. Those Japanese who were humiliated by the Ming army were actually hungry and already exhausted physically and mentally. However, as soon as they heard this military order, especially under the stimulation of the land and grain fields, they immediately became energetic. .
By noon, they had exhausted too much energy and could no longer perform the performance, so the Japanese prepared to go back and get something to eat first. When the Ming army officers and soldiers at sea saw it, they also prepared to return to Geoje Island. Watching the Japanese pirates disappearing on the coast, they stood on the deck, bored and talking a lot.
"These Japanese people just want to cross the sea by setting up rafts. I really don't know whether we are stupid or they are stupid!"
"Haha, that's right. We are still patrolling. They can cross the sea. What are they thinking?"
"The commander-in-chief said that if anything goes wrong, there must be monsters. Maybe the reinforcements from the Japanese country are coming soon, and they just want to attract our attention!"
"Yes, so the commander-in-chief's military order is for us to play with them. We are driving these dwarf monkeys around every day. We are not bored anyway, so we should play with them!"
"..."
Obviously, if Zheng Zhilong cut off the Korean Strait, how could he not prevent Japan from sending another navy? After learning about the movements of the Japanese in Busan, I secretly became more wary of the Japanese direction.
At this time, these Ming army soldiers were chatting and were returning home. Suddenly, a Ming army soldier pointed at the shore and shouted in surprise: "Look, what is going on?"
