Chapter 905: The Fall of Nanyuan (9)

In order to whitewash themselves, the Japanese like to refer to the rout as turning backward.

And Lu Li wasn't that thick-skinned.

Shou Nan Yuan failed.

But on the premise of admitting failure, Lu Li felt that this was an honorable failure.

The failure was attributed to the lack of troops, and the glory belongs to all the soldiers who participated in the defense of Nanyuan.

In the two sniper battles, the Liaodong cavalry showed extremely tenacious fighting spirit and excellent tactical quality. They fought for more than half a month, and the enemy was not a waste snack.

If it is necessary to belittle the enemy to set off one's own achievements, that is also a kind of sadness.

The Shimadzu Legion, known as the number one in Japan.

Following the example of the West, the Xiaoxi Railway Artillery Team, which has the best individual weapons in the world.

All wiped out.

Moreover, the Ming army was not guarding against danger, but was dignifiedly fighting head-on in open areas such as hills, mountains, and rivers, in the hand-to-hand combat that the Japanese pirates were best at, and the most proud firearms battle.

If you continue to fight like this, neither the personal significance nor the strategic significance is very great.

As the victor, Old Monkey and his army commanders were not so happy.

In front of Namwon is Jeonju. If you take Namwon, you can take Jeonju easily. If Jeonju is lost, all three provinces of Korea will be affected.

Therefore, Nanyuan's strategic position is more important than that of Quanzhou. It not only interferes with the peninsula war situation, but also seriously affects the defense of the entire Daming coast.

Once this city is captured, the southern coast of Jeolla Province will not be safe, and the Japanese navy can enter the Yellow Sea directly from here to attack Tianjin, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places, and the voyage will be greatly shortened.

In the original history, when Emperor Wanli learned of the sudden fall of Nanyuan, he immediately issued an emergency military order, requiring all coastal counties and counties to repair military affairs, mobilize the national navy to strengthen coastal defense, and prevent the Japanese from crossing the Yellow Sea.

Therefore, Nanyuan is just a small border town that is inconspicuous on the map, but it can affect the nerves of half of East Asia, and the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty are disturbed by it.

Logically speaking, the old monkey should be happy that his name is being publicized again, but the loss caused by this is too great for him to accept.

Even, guessing in advance that the Ming army would flee from the east and west gates, they were unwilling to ambush heavy troops.

Before he figured out a way to solve the strange flame, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was unwilling to lose any more troops. He wanted to smoothly digest the national fortune that had reached his mouth and fill up his life span.

If Jeolla-do cannot be won within five days, then the prepared desperate poems will come in handy.

There is no way, those daimyos who died in battle crazily consumed their country's luck before they died, which made it difficult for him, the Taige, to relapse from his old injuries and restrain the coming of death.

It's a pity that Lu Li didn't know the inside story, otherwise he would be nailed to Nanyuan no matter what he said.

But this kind of thing, apart from Hideyoshi himself, only the most trusted priests know about it, and even the legion commanders don't know about it, let alone anyone else.

Two hours later.

The Ximen Suspension Bridge fell, and a group of hundreds of giant monsters and about five hundred cavalry rushed out.

The black-maned horse finally realized its long-cherished wish:

Let the master carry him once.

Because this guy was seriously injured when he was supporting the South Gate. He said that it would not be too late if he died, but the talisman water and the elixir couldn't cure him for a while. In desperation, Lu Li could only bear it first, and always pay attention to the surrounding movements—— —

If any great enemy came, he would immediately entrust the black-maned horse to the Bull Demon and the Tiger King who wanted to find Kato Kiyomasa to avenge his son's murder.

By now, Tiger King no longer wants to fight alone, even if the enemy is at the south gate.

Just like what Lu Li said, there will be chances to meet again in the future, but the situation will be different in the future, and he will also assist in killing Kato.

Others promised that maybe this tiger spirit who had lived for thousands of years would refuse to believe it, but Lu Li was different, his record was enough to dispel all doubts.

However, the expected enemy did not appear, and the group of Japanese warriors feared that they would not be able to avoid it, so they avoided the demon rushing to open the way far away.

Almost at the same time.

East, south, and north, all three gates were broken.

The massacre begins.

...

When Lu Li came to this world for the first time, he bid farewell to Li Chao's civil and military affairs, and when he went south to Jeolla Province, although there were mountain roads to go, it was still a broad road.

Jeolla-do connects Chungcheong-do with Seoul, and there is only one, that is, from Jeonju all the way to the north, through Gongju to Cheonan, and then north to Pyeongtaek, Josan, and Suwon, and then you can see Seoul.

Tian'an is located in the center of this hub, and its strategic significance needless to say. Once Tian'an is conquered, the Ming army's space for activities will be compressed to a limit. Therefore, Magui has already made detailed arrangements.

I have to say it again, everything is thanks to the commander-in-chief Lu Li.

Magui calmly dispatched Jiesheng, Niu Boying, Yang Dengshan, and Pogui to send them south again in secret to station near Tian'an.

They are all direct descendants of the Ma family army!

In addition, Bai Sai, one of the few remaining brave generals under his command, and his soldiers were regarded as a reserve team and placed in Geyuan and Jiechuan not far behind Tian'an, with a force of two thousand cavalry!

To put it simply, there is not much difference between Ma Gui and Lu Li's previous tactics, and they are also three fronts.

The Tianan area is the first line of defense.

Geyuan and Jiechuan are the second line of defense.

The perimeter of Seoul is the third line of defense.

Among them, the first line of defense has the most troops.

More than five thousand people!

Four thousand came from the northwest of Daming, and the remaining one thousand came from Chen Yuzhong, the guard general of Quanzhou.

This courageous guy waited and waited until the news of Nanyuan's fall, but when he heard that the Japanese right army was attacking Huangshi Mountain City, he immediately abandoned the city and fled, fearing that if he was too late, he would be made dumplings by the enemy.

As expected, neither Ma Gui nor the governor were willing to kill him, asking him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

The so-called preparation of the second line of defense means that if the first line of defense can withstand the Japanese, the two thousand cavalry will immediately go up to support them, and if they cannot be blocked, they will be used to support their retreat.

Seoul, on the other hand, is actually the final battlefield chosen by the last resort.

At first, after listening to Ma Gui's report, he managed Yang Gao, that is, the civil official who scolded the King of Joseon bloody in front of all the nobles, and wished he could get into the cracks in the ground.

He approached the king of Joseon, Lee Chan again, and asked the other party to show the domineering spirit of a king of a country, drive his own conquest, and go to Suwon near Seoul to boost morale.

However, Li Yan was unwilling to live and die, so he almost hugged the pillars of the palace and refused to let go.

In desperation, Yang Gao moved his big tent to Nanshan outside the city, ordered military music to be played, and issued various orders to make the momentum extremely large. Only then did he take the place of the king of Joseon to calm the hearts of the army and the people.

"Mud can't support a wall!"

"Asshole!"

now.

Yang Gao looked at the map and was furious.

He is a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty and a guest from afar, but he still has the backbone and arrogance to live and die with this city.

But the king of this country was as timid as a mouse. When the war was about to break out, he even secretly hinted that he actually wanted to attach Daming to himself and become an idle prince.

Is this what Wang should do?

How to deal with the ancestral mausoleum?
