Chapter 881 Bloody Jeolla Road (24)

Liaochuan is in the southeast of Nanyuan City. Once the Japanese pass through, it means that there is no natural danger to defend, and they can only fight against the city.

Therefore, Lu Li assembled most of the troops he could use here, and mobilized another 1,000 garrison battalions on the basis of the original vanguard battalion.

At this moment, nearly 2,000 Liaodong elites had gathered near Liaochuan, and only 1,000 remained in Nanyuan.

However, in such a situation where the battle was in full swing, the Japanese stopped between Suxingling and Tunshanling without moving at all.

Several times, Lu Li used the technique of fetching the moon to observe the enemy's situation, and he found hundreds of warriors searching, one mountain after another.

Obviously, he was looking for Yoshihiro Shimadzu.

After such a long time, anyone with a little sense of judgment will know that this so-called Ghost of Satsuma, the daimyo of the two eras of Japan, has died in battle.

But the samurai are still searching, and the number is increasing day by day.

Needless to say, it must be that the big men among the Japanese pirates did not give up, and issued an order similar to "see people when alive, and see corpses when dead".

However……

Oni Shimazu died so badly that there was not even a scum left.

Not only that, but the knife, threat, and armor were all burned by karmic fire because of their sins.

Between heaven and earth, no relics related to this man have been found.

In fact, the group of Chanjin River monsters and Satsuma warriors who died on the battlefield were also the same. If the Japanese army's high-level officials were not stupid, they would know roughly what was going on.

It can only be said that Yoshihiro Shimadzu is too important, so that Utaki Hideka and others have to force themselves, with a little fantasy about it.

"Boss, you said what kind of chain reaction will we have after this operation?"

Inside the barracks, the monk Zhao Feng looked at the map and asked, his expression full of anticipation.

"It will allow Nanyuan City to hold on for a longer period of time, so that the follow-up army mobilization will be more calm, and the defense battle around Seoul will be done well." Lu Li replied holding the sand table, his eyes fixed on the right side.

The Japanese seem to like the number eight very much. During the Imjin Japanese Invasion, there were eight legions. Now, no matter how chaotic Dingyou is, there are still eight legions.

First Legion: Kato House.

Second Legion: Xiaoxi's family.

Third Legion: Kuroda House.

Fourth Legion: Nabeshima family.

Fifth Legion: The Shimadzu Family

Seventh Legion: Hachisuka family.

This is the main battle army.

Ukita Hideka and Mao Li Xiuyuan have a reserve army, which is the Eighth Army——

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 Navy Corps of Changzong's Ministry.

Now, according to his memory, Lu Li arranged the positions of these legions on the sand table in order.

In the year of Renchen, the Japanese people advanced in three ways.

In the year of Ding You, the two roads are concurrent.

One left and one right.

The Left Route Army had dealt with Lu Li before. Under its command were the Second Army, part of the Third Army, the Fifth, Seventh Army, and half of the Eighth Army. The commander-in-chief was Ukita Hideka.

The right-hand army is relatively unfamiliar. It is equipped with the First Army, part of the Third Army, the Fourth and Sixth Army, and half of the Eighth Army. The commander-in-chief Kobayakawa Hideaki.

According to the strategy formulated by the Japanese in advance, it is now the first stage. The right-hand army will launch a feint attack from the right, forcing the Ming and North Korean coalition forces to focus their limited forces and attention on the direction of Gyeongsang-do.

The left army facing Lu Li should attack quickly and capture Namwon as quickly as possible, dividing Jeolla Province into two, and then the left and right armies will join forces under the city of Quanzhou to take Jeolla Province completely.

But this is history.

Now, Lu Li has changed the situation. At the very beginning of the war, he killed the commander of the fifth army with all his firepower and delayed the left army's offensive.

so……

What is the chain reaction?

The so-called rapid attack has turned into a swift advance, and it seems impossible to take down Nanyuan as soon as possible, so how will they change their tactics.

"I have a strong hunch."

Zhao Feng stroked his bald head, followed Lu Li's gaze to the right, and continued, "We're playing too big this time. After the right army in charge of the feint attack takes down Yellowstone City, it's likely that they won't go to Quanzhou, but cooperate with the left army. , adjust the direction slightly, double-teaming Nanyuan front and back."

"Then, the soldiers joined together, and the army rushed to Quanzhou with a murderous look."

"Well, the left army, which was supposed to act quickly, retreated for thirteen days, and seemed to be doing nothing except looking for Yoshihiro Shimadzu." Lu Li said solemnly, "I'm afraid they are really eyeing Nanyuan. If we If you don’t run away, you have to get a box lunch together.”

"I follow the arrangements for everything." Zhao Feng was very open-minded and didn't worry about receiving the boxed lunch.

Did you get too little box lunch before?

"Then let's save a few more daimyos."

Lu Li's voice was low.

"good."

Looking at the determined Zhao Feng, Lu Li said again:

"When the time comes, I will assist you to kill a daimyo with guaranteed guarantee."

Generally speaking, he would not make any promises in advance. Because of this, these words fell into Zhao Feng's ears, which explained what surprise was.

Daimyo, the feudal armed lords who occupied one or several countries during the Muromachi Shogunate of Japan, Azuchi Momoyama Era, and Edo Shogunate, equivalent to the princes of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods in China.

Although there is a big gap between the daimyos, like Yoshihiro Shimadzu, the daimyo of the Satsuma clan, who commanded more than 10,000 troops, and a daimyo who was fifteen or sixteen years old like Sagara Yoshihiro, with only 800 samurai under his command, he is also a daimyo!

In name, the status is the same as that of Shimadzu.

As long as it can be killed, the evaluation will definitely not be low at the time of settlement. After all, there are only those daimyos sent by the Wa Kingdom to conquer the peninsula, and the total number does not exceed thirty.

And Lu Li, who was already determined to die, was also thinking about which famous names he should kill.

Today, Yoshihiro Shimadzu, the leader of the fifth army, has been killed, and among the remaining daimyos of the same level, only:

Kiyomasa Kato, Governor Konishi, Kuroda Nagamasa, Hachisuka Iekeng, Naomi Naoshima and Nabeshima Katsushige, Nagamune Kabu Motokin.

Ukita Hideka and Mori Hidewon are the generals of the left and right armies respectively, and it would be extremely difficult to kill them both.

So Lu Li didn't think too much about it.

In his eyes, as long as he kills another daimyo at the level of army commander, it doesn't matter if he gets a box lunch.

Under such difficulty, eight army commanders killed two of them with their own strength. Among them, Onishimazu is an arbitrary faction famous for his personal force. May I ask how many of them can do it?

Ranking purely based on combat effectiveness, I am afraid that only Kato Kiyomasa, the commander of the First Army of the Right Route Army, can securely win one of them, and he is ranked among the seven guns of Qiyue——

In the 11th year of Tensho in the Warring States Period of Japan, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuie fought at Chiyake, the seven most outstanding samurai of Hideyoshi's military exploits won this honor.

They are:

Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, Usiya Takeno, Katagiri Katomoto, Kato Yoshiaki, Hirano Changyasu, Wakisaka Yasuji.

In addition, the daimyo's status is high, and the dogmatic daimyo is also good at fighting, but when it comes to individual combat ability, it is still not top-notch.

Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, Kato Yoshiaki, Wakisaka Yasuji, four of the seven guns set foot on the peninsula, and the remaining three were of lower status and have not been recorded.

Killing two Qibengun members of Qiyue might be worth a legion commander?

Of course, from this point of view, Kato Kiyomasa would be excluded. He is not only the head of the army of the Arbitrary faction, but also a member of Qiyue Qibengun, with both status and strength.

While Lu Li was determined to die and was considering how to expand the results of the battle, a fleet of ships arrived near Suncheon along Tsushima Island, more precisely, the mouth of the Seomjin River.

Hideyoshi has arrived.

Moreover, having received the news of Shimadzu Yoshihiro's death, apart from frowning and wondering why the demons are so powerful, he did not worry about whether the Satsuma Legion would lose their combat effectiveness like President Konishi.

Because he brought Shimadzu Yoshihisa, the previous head of the Shimadzu family, or in other words, unlike ordinary daimyos, the Shimadzu family has a double hall (house governor) system.

"There are two reports, 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."

"Furthermore, the monster that killed Ghost Shimanzi was an ancient fairy from the Ming Dynasty, Qidi Water God Qingji."

"But what's interesting is that all the corpses and traces were burned by the flames. Xiaoxi found some scorching marks among a group of shattered mountains."

After saying that, Hideyoshi stroked the samurai sword specially shortened according to his short stature, and went up the river.

Staring at the turbulent river, this mighty Taige looked a little dazed.

This is his first time in a foreign country.

As early as a few years ago, when the war broke out, he wanted to take a look, but he was persuaded by his retainers. Now that he has a health problem, he finally made up his mind to act and bet everything on this war.

Hideyoshi often can't figure out a problem.

Ming Dynasty is a country rich in products, and various technologies are very advanced, but it is extremely incompetent.

The daimyo's subordinates who were defeated by him back then, a group of defeated soldiers, prodigal dogs, united with some ronin, old farmers, and pirates. Sometimes only relying on dozens of people to land on the southeast coast, they can drive straight in, plunder countless gold, silver, jewels and women, and then walk away.

Ever since, stimulated by wealth and women, more and more landless vagrants and farmers joined the ranks of robbers and made a fortune by slaughtering Daming.

Such a rich and vast country is actually ruled by a group of incompetent people?

Hideyoshi felt that this was a waste of money, the biggest and most unforgivable sin in the world, and it should be led by a great man like him. In this way, the place would become even greater and richer.

However, with my decades of invincible wisdom, determination, and courage, as well as hundreds of thousands of warriors and invincible generals under my command, how could I lose?

It must be that the group of legion commanders did not work hard!

But it doesn't matter, this time he came in person, and came across the sea with the courage of a lion fighting a rabbit and Mount Tai overwhelming.

Faster than the first time, take down Li Chaobadao, defeat the Ming army, and then digest the fat in your mouth to accumulate strength!

In the not-too-distant future, cross the Yalu River, fight a decisive battle with Ming Dynasty, and plunder everything including luck, land, wealth, and population.

behind.

Shimadzu Yoshihisa felt that the master's mental state was a little unstable, because there was a black mist pouring out of his body, which was a strange, corrupt but dangerous existence.

Tunshanling.

The young and handsome Ukita Hideka looked ahead. It was Su Xingling, the place where Satsuma's ghost disappeared.

"The Taige is here."

"He seemed to be in high spirits and had no intention of punishing anyone."

As he said that, he looked at Chief Xiaoxi and said meaningfully: "In addition, your lord has brought many eminent monks, monk soldiers, and his most trusted warriors with him on this trip."

The daimyos of the Right Army led by Kato Kiyomasa are almost all fanatical Buddhists.

The composition of the Left Army is different.

President Konishi has a fashionable Christian name:

Augustine.

And his son-in-law, Zong Yizhi, is called Dario.

Omura Kizen's Christian name is Sanchee, and Arima Harunobu's Christian name is Prodasio...

Many daimyos are Christians, which is not allowed in Hideyoshi-sama's eyes. He resists foreign sects. If there are priests in the army, someone will definitely commit seppuku and atone for it.

As the general of the Left Army, Utaki Hideka, who has lost the ghost of Satsuma, does not want to see any meaningless death, especially in front of the enemy.

"Don't worry, my lord."

Xiaoxi greeted him with firm eyes. He can guarantee that there is no priest in the camp for himself and his son-in-law.

"That's good, let's wait quietly for Taiko-sama's arrival. The right-hand army that is attacking Huangshi City will also dispatch the Kuroda team of the First Army and the Third Army to surround and outflank."

First Legion?

Kato!

A strange light flashed in Konishi's eyes.

A copy net without any omissions was formed, regardless of whether Nanyuan had 3,000 Ming troops or 30,000 Ming troops, there was only one end:

defeat.

...

Time passed slowly.

Another five days passed.

The samurai who were searching for Onijimadzu at Suxingling disappeared completely, and they retreated to the main formation further back, waiting for something unknown.

Lu Li smelled the breath of death.

Zhao Feng smelled the scent of the boxed lunch, and he felt that for him, as long as he killed a famous person before receiving the boxed lunch, that would be blood money!

The black-maned horse and the bull demon have not yet received the lunch box and tasted death, but they are not afraid, but full of anticipation. They often stand side by side on the highest point beside the Liao River, looking forward to seeing the traces of the Japanese.

sixth day.

An army of only fifty people appeared, and it was Li Chao's defeated army. The leader was the envoy Li Funan, who retreated from Qiuli.

On the way, I encountered many small groups of Japanese scouts, but they were not afraid, and swaggered through the middle to support Nanyuan.

Probably the Japanese were stunned by this behavior of not being able to see the number clearly, and they didn't even stop it.

"Those who support themselves and protect themselves are full of talk."

"And Gongdu went there with a lone army, and there was 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 admiration.

In history, this man once had the opportunity to fight out with Yang Yuan when the city was broken, but he refused the offer, carried firewood alone, committed suicide by setting fire to himself, and lived and died with Nanyuan City.

So he was also placed in Liaochuan camp.

one stone two bird.

Lu Li managed to get Tang Chuan into Li Chao's army. If he goes back, whose orders should the thousands of soldiers obey?

the seventh day.

Everything was peaceful at first, but the appearance of another familiar face made Lu Li extremely happy. The two generals didn't understand, so they had never seen the general soldier like this.

Mr. Qian came from the direction of Quanzhou, as for it?

Zhao Feng can answer clearly: As for!

The arrival of Duke makes the bento more fragrant.

...

The protagonist is about to receive a lunch box...
