Chapter 830 Puppet Army

20,000 troops, although the fighting strength is enough, it is quite difficult to occupy such a large territory.

20,000 people sprinkled on the map, like a grain of sand on the beach.

On average, less than a hundred people are stationed in a town.

As a result, Qian Sule began to accept and use the puppet army, that is, the Dahua army composed of Fusang people.

If you want to quickly occupy and control Fuso, this is the only way.

It is impossible to continue to increase troops in the country, and it is too expensive.

It is much cheaper to use the puppet army, the salary requirements of the puppet army are low, there is no need for pensions if killed in battle, no medical treatment is required for the seriously injured, and the food does not need to be too good.

The money to support one Chinese soldier can support more than five puppet troops.

When the Chinese army arrived at the Chiyoda front line, their army number also reached as many as 60,000, of which nearly 40,000 were puppet troops.

The 40,000 puppet troops were also divided into two parts, of which more than 20,000 were recruited from the Satsuma domain. This part was more loyal to Dahua, and they all claimed to be Dahua.

These people are very useful, and they are not soft at all when they fight other Fusang people.

Another part is the surrender of the Fukuoka Domain and the Kumamoto Domain.

These people are all over the top, whoever is stronger will go to which side, the will to fight is extremely poor, and they can only fight against the wind. Once the war situation is unfavorable, they may betray or flee.

However, Qian Sule also accepted it correctly, these people are all used as cannon fodder.

As long as the war starts, force them to rush forward.

If they dare to be disobedient, the machine guns behind the supervising team will teach them how to behave.

As long as the Chinese army is strong enough, these wallgrass can be used, and there is no need to worry about them defecting.

When the 60,000 Chinese troops arrived at the front line, Tokugawa Yuxian, the commander of the shogunate's coalition forces, smashed a telescope angrily.

"Baga, these cowards, these traitors deserve to die, they don't deserve to be a big country."

Dechuan Youxian cursed.

Originally, they only had a little military advantage left, and they tried to use this advantage to stretch the front of the Chinese army and drag it down step by step.

But now, the Hua Army has brought so many puppet troops over, so that their advantages are gone.

Even worse, these puppet troops were also supported by part of the equipment of the Hua Army. In terms of equipment, they were even better than the coalition forces of the shogunate, that is, the will to fight was slightly worse.

If these puppet troops can burst out with high fighting will, maybe they don't need Hua Jun to take action, and the defense line of the shogunate coalition will not be able to hold up.

"General, what should we do now, I'm afraid we can't prevent it."

Maeda Kenjiro worried that the situation was getting worse and worse, and the pressure on these high-ranking officials and nobles was very high.

"These cowards are nothing to worry about, as long as you hit them hard, you can defeat them."

Another less powerful daimyo, Shiro Oshima, said that he didn't want to retreat any longer, and he would come to his territory if he retreated.

Once this line of defense falls, his territory will be captured by Dahua, and he will become a daimyo without territory.

If there is no daimyo on the site, can it still be called a daimyo?

Shiro Oshima didn't want to be a wandering samurai, and he didn't want to be a vassal of the shogunate. If you really want to be a servant to others, why not do it for the more powerful Dahua?

Within the entire coalition, the people's hearts are not at all, and each has its own ideas and plans.

After a dispute, the coalition decided to stick to it.

They are going to avoid the real and attack the false, focus on attacking the puppet army, and defeat the puppet army with poor fighting will first.

As for how to deal with the Dahua soldiers next, they haven't figured it out yet, they can only take one step at a time.

Taking one step at a time is already the norm for their senior management, and they do not have an effective strategic plan.

There was a scholar in Edo who wrote a book on protracted warfare, suggesting that the territory should be surrendered to Dahua, all regular troops should be split into the countryside, and guerrilla warfare should be carried out in the mountains.

Use the vast territory to stretch the Dahua front and let Dahua fall into the people's war.

With Dahua's limited military strength, if he wants to control the entire Fusang, it will inevitably make the troops extremely scattered.

At that time, they will have a chance.

However, this suggestion was ignored by Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Abandoning Edo, joking, and killing him would not agree.

Tokugawa Jiaguang is not stupid, he actually understands it very well.

As for ordinary people on their side, there is no drama.

Although Dahua is an outsider, he, a local, has never been good to the people, and even many exploited people hate him to the core.

The Fuso people no longer have a strategy. They can only arrange specific tactics in specific battles.

Not to mention that they can't defeat Hua Jun on the battlefield, even if they can win a few games from time to time, this kind of play without strategy is actually a sure defeat, it's just a matter of time.

On the Huajun side, the staff is also formulating tactics.

Even if the Chinese army all knew that their side would win without a doubt, but in specific battles, they would not underestimate the enemy.

In order to gain military exploits, they are all working hard to fight beautiful battles.

In this battle, Qian Sule wanted more than just breaking the line of defense. That's too easy, even if you don't formulate tactics, you can do it without thinking.

Compared with occupying territory, the Chinese army prefers to kill the other's living forces, and prefers annihilation.

This time there are 100,000 enemy troops gathered in this area, which is a good opportunity to catch them all.

Only

To eliminate the Fusang army, the Fuso in the western part of Honshu Island must give up, and there will be no more troops stationed there.

How to annihilate this troop is the problem that the Huajun staff wants to study.

"We can ask the navy to help, and then send an elite force to land behind Hiroshima, then occupy Saijo, go to the original places, and cut off the enemy's retreat first.

After forming a large net, launch a fierce attack on the enemy. "

Xiong Changling said that he is the second son of Xiong Rulin, a second generation of honor.

In the current Dahua army, many generals have this kind of background.

The descendants of these nobles, the first choice is to join the army, and if they don't have the talent to join the army, they will go to the imperial examination or do business.

This has led to a number of second-generation honors in the army.

Of course, these people also have certain real materials, otherwise they will not be able to climb up by relationship alone.

What they have more than ordinary people is just some opportunities. The army is the most serious and the least joke. People who are incompetent, the people above are afraid to use it, and it is easy to cause major problems.

"It's a bit of a risk. Our troops are not as strong as the other party, and now we have to surround them. If they concentrate their forces and attack one of our points, we may not be able to withstand it."

another staff officer asked.

He did not oppose Xiong Changling's plan, but only raised his concerns.

Only when Xiong Changling gave a satisfactory answer to everyone could this plan be passed.
