Chapter 922: A World Without Buddhas (1)
Battle of Suwon.
This is a battle unprecedented in history.
Because the Japanese at that time did not have much desire to win, they just wanted to perfunctory Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and plundered some wealth and population by the way, and Zhang Ben for returning to the country and being entrusted.
Therefore, Mao Li and Kuroda paid a huge price. After taking Jishan, they stopped going northward to avoid encountering a large number of Ming troops...
But the battle line in this world is obviously not going this way, and the defense of Seoul is imminent.
what to do?
Ma Gui, Yang Hao, and even Li Yan all asked Lu Li this question.
What can be done? Hit hard!
The situation is so obvious, even if you want to break your head, there is no way to be amazing enough to make up for the disadvantage of the number.
This is the gap in hard power.
irreparable.
Admiral Magui was not disappointed about this, he just asked casually, after all, he is also a veteran of the battlefield and has a deep understanding of the situation.
The same is true of Jinglue Yang Hao. If he was afraid of a fierce battle, he would not rush over from the rear immediately, scold Ma Gui and even Li Chaowen and Wu, and order them not to retreat...
Only the monarchs and ministers headed by Li Yan were completely desperate. They wanted to run away but couldn't. Under the torture of this mentality, they simply didn't care about anything and let the Ming army take over everything completely.
Worrying all day long.
This is the truest portrayal.
Regarding the mud that could not support the wall, Yang Hao no longer had any expectations in his heart. Since they acted like this, it saved a lot of trouble.
All the generals of the Ming army got together and quickly discussed the layout, and it was not as noisy as in the vegetable market.
After all, the situation is very easy to see.
The place to guard is not large, and the space for maneuvering is very limited.
Lu Zongbing and his soldiers who had just landed became sailors again.
Who told him to have a giant turtle ship?
Next, Lu Li will lead a group of small ships to cruise around Suwon, standing in the front line against the Japanese.
Speaking of which, he was really cheering up, but from a certain point of view, it was also a standing target.
Because of this, Admiral Magui allocated enough weapons for him:
Tian character gun, ground character gun, Xuan character gun, yellow character gun, Dasheng character gun, Xiaosheng character gun, Tribulus gun, large fire barrel, large bowl mouthpiece, and medium bowl mouthpiece.
various kinds.
You can also know the name, all the Li Dynasty standard weapons, the same is true for the projectiles:
Long piece arrows, iron bullets, general arrows, general arrows, etc., all kinds of fancy names.
In addition, Lu Li looked at the bird guns and double-barreled gun barrels that were eliminated in an unknown era, and immediately returned them. He didn't accept the broken ones, even if he had a little patience, they could be used.
Hades is no different than a hungry ghost.
What's more, Lu Li is a fierce general who can create miracles. He has Yang Jinglue of the Liaodong Legion in his heart, and specially arranged for the flagship he was on. There are quite a few of them, four in total.
The two Japanese-style cannons originally installed at the stern were also replaced with increasingly powerful Ming army tiger-squatting cannons, and all ten muzzles were filled.
Since it was a water battle in the river, the local government couldn't implement it, and if the monsters participated or not, the impact would not be great, so Lu Li placed them all in the city.
It is undeniable that Liaodong iron cavalry is very brave, but its real combat effectiveness is indeed not as good as that of monsters.
At this juncture, how many soldiers you have under your command and how many things you can do is the right to speak.
Five hundred monsters, all of them at least one to block five.
There are also old monsters like Tiger King and Su Xingling Mountain God. If there are no generals among the Japanese to stop them, it will be a massacre.
"When he saw the goddess, the King of Joseon's eyes were straightened, tsk tsk tsk, he is indeed a meat eater."
Pan Ming has always been venomous.
Right now, he has become Lu Li's second-in-command, leading the fleet together to guard the last natural barrier in front of the city. Without outsiders present, he naturally speaks casually.
"Prince Xiang is interested, but Goddess has no dreams."
"As long as the canonized edict is given, it is not in vain for the demons and wild gods to fight bloody battles and fights in Nanyuan for Li Chaowen and Wu. As for what he will do next, we have no control."
Lu Li stood on the deck with an inexplicable expression.
Taking King Xiang as an example earlier, Li Yan, the monarch, was too flattering. If he had a bit of backbone and didn't always cry, maybe the goddess would look at him high, and there was a slight possibility of success.
After all, a king who has no courage, let alone martial arts and martial arts, would rather subjugate the country, disregard the foundation of his ancestors, and only want to have a great Ming inside, is really useless.
With that Goddess' cold temper, I'm afraid she thinks that Li Yan is no different from a beggar on the street.
"Trash snacks." Pan Ming commented pertinently.
If it weren't for the prohibition of rebellion in this world, there is an iron law that suppresses actors from letting go of themselves, he even wanted to kill Li Chaowen and Wu, and confuse his evaluation.
After all, no matter what, it is also a special achievement to thoroughly wash the civil and military ministers of this country with blood. It can be called unprecedented and unprecedented, and it is destined to be recorded in the annals of history.
"The sorrow of a small country."
Lu Li hadn't chatted with Pan Ming alone for a long time, and it was still at the moment when such a big battle was coming, so he continued to add on the topic:
"Actually, it's not a small country. It's just that internal conflicts are too serious. In court, when one side puts forward an opinion, no matter whether it is correct or not, whether it is beneficial to the country or the people, the other side will inevitably oppose it for the sake of opposition."
"It's been like this since ancient times."
Speaking of this, Lu Li thought of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and lost interest in an instant.
Eldest brother laughing at second elder brother? boring.
Li Chao is known as the Little China, from the clothes to the law, and then to every aspect, it is imitating the suzerain country, so the one that removes the prefix is so much better...
Rest in place for a day.
The Kuroda family and the Mori family are on the road again.
Although Hideyoshi was tyrannical, he still meant what he said. He replied that he had sent the father and son of the Nabeshima family to support him, so he would definitely not break his promise.
In order to seize the opportunity and prevent themselves from appearing too philistine, the two coalition forces decided to take the lead in setting out, eradicating small obstacles encountered along the way, and waiting for the Nabeshima Army to arrive below Seoul.
Regarding the previous battle, the knife and pen officials have already polished it up, and the Kuroda family recorded it like this:
Mao Lixiuyuan's soldiers also arrived, the remaining enemy soldiers did not dare to fight and retreated, and our soldiers also slowed down.
In a short sentence, he indirectly admitted his failure, and then started the old tradition of bragging about how brave his generals are.
Then, start making history:
Jiesheng, a front-line general of the Ming army, retreated in a panic after fighting the Battle of Jishan, and then sent an envoy to send a white eagle to Kuroda Nagamasa to beg for surrender.
Daimyo have a tradition of writing family diaries.
Naturally, the Maoli family also wrote, and it was even more exaggerated, saying that the Ming soldiers were killed by them and fled in all directions. After making dumplings, they had to climb the mountain.
Facing the siege, Jiesheng sent an envoy to see the patriarch Mao Lixiuyuan, saying:
"We were sent to fight in a foreign country. It is really the emperor's order that cannot be violated. We don't have too much hatred. I will give you the flag. You can stamp it as a seal and put it on the next lifeline."
In this almost magical story, Mao Lixiuyuan is extremely kind, and really stamped a mark on the flag that symbolizes military power, and let Jiesheng go.
...
After the main force of the navy of the Japanese army finished helping out and helped take down Namwon, they returned to the coastal area——
Sweep the rebels and build the city.
When the two coalition forces arrived in Suwon, they were a little dumbfounded looking at the fleet lying ahead.
Leaving aside the flagship, the size of this navy is not too large. As long as Maori gathers his own cannons and launches a confrontation with it, it can be taken down in a maximum of two hours.
The turtle boat that can be piloted is too unusual.
Not only is it large in size, but if you look closely, you can also find that every muzzle is blocked by dark things.
Obviously, this is a mobile fortress.
Once the Japanese approached, the instant burst of firepower would cause them heavy losses.
Subconsciously, Mori Hidemoto looked at Kuroda Nagamasa, who had a gloomy expression.
Only fools do things like this to fill their lives!
"Let's wait for the Nabeshima family. They haven't experienced a fierce battle so far, so it's obviously unreasonable."
Seeing the old ghost Kuroda's tough attitude, Mori immediately took a step back, just like Hideyoshi didn't dare to push the two of them too much, and he couldn't do it himself.
Since landing, the Nabeshima family has not made an inch of merit, and there is no reason to shirk.
"It's getting petty."
Lu Li looked at the two coalition forces from afar and said with a smile:
"Watch me challenge them."
After the words fell, the hard bow that was forged in the past appeared in his hand.
The General's cannon could barely reach the edge of the Japanese army's position without causing too many casualties. In addition, Lu Li didn't want to expose the firepower in advance, so he simply used his own strength combined with a magic weapon to frighten the Japanese.
As a cultivator, Pan Ming has no shortage of magic weapons, especially after knowing the specific types of final exams, he prepared relevant weapons early.
A bow carved with dragons and phoenixes appeared.
You don't need to rely on the aura it emits, just by looking at its appearance, you will know that it is several grades higher than the magic weapon that Lu Li casually forged.
Big banner, the status is extremely important.
In the Three Kingdoms era, there was a rule that if a warrior holding the banner was shot and killed by the enemy's bow and arrow, someone should immediately go up to make up for it, and the banner must not be allowed to fall.
No matter how bad the battle is, as long as the banner does not fall, then everyone has the confidence to continue fighting, and if it falls, it means the commander is dead.
The Japanese do not have a flag, but instead have a flag with a family crest painted on it, and the effect is almost the same.
Knowing that Pan Ming's murderous intent had lasted for an unknown amount of time and he had nowhere to vent it, Lu Li took the initiative to target the banner on the Kuroda family's front line.
Boom!
The bowstring trembled violently, showing the strength.
At this level, there is no question of whether the shot is accurate or not, and the two cold lights shot straight at the flagpole that was only two fingers thick a hundred miles away.
clang!
Not surprisingly, a layer of diaphragm emerged spontaneously.
The luck of the two families is condensed on it, as well as the blessing of the military formation, it is extremely difficult to break through the armor.
At least one arrow is not possible.
However, Lu Li and Pan Ming had expected it a long time ago, and after shooting the first arrow, they bent their bows and set their arrows again.
If one arrow fails, there are second and third arrows, which are different from the large-scale damage of artillery. The iron cluster made of divine iron can gather all the strength at one point and explode. This is the unique charm of cold weapons.
click.
Before the flag guard warriors of the two families could react, they heard a crisp sound, and their hearts were ashamed.
The flag fell.
However, it didn't land completely, and was caught in mid-air. If it couldn't react anymore, the flag guard warrior might as well leave it to the dog.
"Old Lu, how do you think the two old guys will react, fire a few shots from the air? Or send a small group of troops to fight us?"
Pan Ming looked at the flag that had been picked up again, with a smile on his face.
"They will take the initiative to retreat and wait for the reinforcements to arrive." Lu Li said to the point.
Within the formation.
Mao Lixiuyuan sneered, as if he had seen through the tricks of the enemy general, he decisively ordered the camp to be pulled out, and continued to retreat for hundreds of miles.
The retainers offered their praises one after another.
The Ming army's despicable provocative methods, as long as they are not fooled, they have already won.
Everyone thinks so.
"I don't have the guts anymore." Pan Ming was helpless.
After sitting on the bench for so long, he longed for a fight, just like Duke did, killing a daimyo at the level of a legion commander.
In fact, in this oriental traditional world, Pan Ming is the one who is most at ease, because the route he initially chose was:
Xiu Xian.
"I don't know how many Japanese people will come to support."
Lu Li was looking forward to it.
After escaping from Nanyuan, he earned his life no matter what, so he said: "Jieshi, you are facing the enemy in the open, and I will find a way to shady the pirates."
Hidden prodding for a sneak attack, or taking advantage of the unpreparedness to give the enemy a "surprise".
This feeling is really refreshing.
And the object is the Japanese, which directly doubles the happiness.
Pan Ming can imagine how much psychological shadow his brother left on the pirates when he was in Nanyuan——
If he showed his face, not to mention frightening the enemy away, at least he could make them hesitate to attack for half a day.
All kinds of signs showed that the major legions had gradually lost their vigor. Not to mention, Jishan, a battle where the two sides were evenly matched, immediately began to complain and began to think about retreating.
This exhausted Hideyoshi physically and mentally, and everything about him and the Toyotomi family was pinned on the Battle of the Peninsula.
Failure is never allowed!
Ever since, Kato, the head of the First Army, came in handy. He left the formation, and through clever feints, bypassed the blockade of Li Chaojun on the flank, and went straight to Seoul from another angle.
In terms of tactics, it is undoubtedly a wonderful battle example, and it is also a kind of helpless compromise. Hideyoshi confirmed that the other corps under his command have lost the indomitable spirit of the Imjin War——
If it was at that time, there wouldn't be so many detours, even if there were, Kato would not feint to carefully bypass the Li Chao army guarding the flank.
feint?
roundabout?
Draw a straight line on the map and stride through the enemy's position!
Such a strong contrast made Hideyoshi choose to prepare for the worst, retreating to the three ways he had already collected, regardless of the cost, mobilizing domestic forces, and forcing those daimyos who watched the theater to bleed together.
Ieyasu Tokugawa.
The Kanto daimyo headed by him has been excluded from the invasion plan since the beginning of the war.
And the daimyo who followed Hideyoshi to send troops are all forces under his orders...
Can the plan succeed?
You know, the Tokugawa family is too tolerant, and the Kwantung Allied Forces are only weaker than their own forces. If they don't obey orders, fighting will break out in the mainland and return to the Warring States Period.
The old monkey was undecided.
Everything depends on Seoul.
Suwon.
Noon the next day.
The Naoshima army came, only two thousand elite soldiers followed, and the rest continued to march in the rear.
But they were full of fighting spirit and took the initiative to send troops alone to take down Suwon, the only defenseable barrier in Seoul.
