Chapter 916 Stalemate (10) [Partial Narration]

After taking Namwon, Hideyoshi ordered a bloody massacre, leaving no one in the city.

There is not much purpose, it is purely for venting anger.

Then, there is Jeonju in the north.

The left and right armies converged, easily occupied the empty city, and carried out another massacre. It was too late to escape, or the people of the Li Dynasty who had some illusions about the Japanese were all empty.

Obviously, it was different from the Japanese Invasion period in Imjin. At that time, at any rate, they would pretend to be Anmin, and flaunt the teachers of benevolence and righteousness.

Now I don't even bother to put on a show. Whether it is the left army or the right army, they are all on their respective marching roads, dyeing a road paved with blood.

Those rebels scattered in the forests and ravines didn't even need to inquire about the information. They could judge the Japanese army's movements based on the degree of blood drying up, as well as the temperature and state of the fireworks in the villages and towns.

Burn all the houses.

Kill the village.

...

These have completely become the endorsement words of the Japanese. The monks accompanying the army lamented that the entire Jeolla Province has become a "red country". Many untreated battlefields and corpse pits have spawned a lot of strange things.

Neither ghost nor demon nor demon.

Very scary.

After slaughtering several cities in a row, Hideyoshi's anger subsided a little, and he planned to stop the soldiers under his command.

But the old monkey thought about it again, he was gentle enough during the last invasion, but the untouchables didn't appreciate it at all, this time he simply slaughtered Jeolla Dao to frighten other Dao and make them become honest.

In this way, after venting their animal desires, the second phase of the Japanese army's strategic goal was launched. The navy who came to help along the river went to the coastal areas to eliminate potential threats and build small fortifications.

The main force on land is divided into two groups, marching towards Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do at the same time, and must take Seoul within half a month.

And the Ming army, which had been stationed south for a long time, also found out that the Japanese pirates were impatiently heading north.

Among them, there is also bad news that Toyotomi Hideyoshi personally supervised the battle.

In any case, the old monkey can barely be regarded as the king of a country. Although there is an emperor in their country, after the last war, Daming awarded the title of king to Hideyoshi.

Because of this, Yang Gao approached Joseon King Li Yan again and asked him to also go to the front line in person to boost morale.

In order to show his sincerity, Yang Jinglue, a high-ranking and powerful man, uttered bold words that he would personally follow Li Yan and protect him!

The king of Joseon was so frightened that he ordered people to pack his bags secretly, while bowing his head and muttering:

Right now there is a lot of chaos, swords and firearms on the battlefield don't have eyes, you are a distinguished guest from the Ming Dynasty, how can you take the risk yourself? In case of a mistake, who will take charge of the overall situation.

He said he was worried about Yang Gao, but in his heart he still hated himself. Li Yan really felt that with tens of thousands of people, he couldn't defend Seoul at all.

If it hadn't been for being scolded bloody last time, Daming's words were harsh, declaring: If he talks about running away, he will withdraw the army, how could he persist until today?

At the moment, I can only secretly transfer private property and family members together with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, so I can escape with ease!

Seeing Li Yan, the head of foreign affairs, faltering and hesitating, he almost grabbed the pillar, wiped his nose and tears, and said clearly that he would not go.

Yang Jinglue flicked his sleeves and left with a cold snort.

No need to say it, the King of Joseon knew that it must be his fault that the mud could not support the wall.

If you can't help it, you can't help it.

When I went to Daming in the future, that benevolent and unfamiliar elder brother of the emperor would more or less give me some preferential treatment. After all, he was also a dignified prince with a higher title than the courtiers.

Is it necessary to be as knowledgeable as people who are not as good as you? Li Yan figured it out instantly, and began to recall a few years ago.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had been hinting through various channels that the Japanese pirates were likely to launch a large-scale invasion, reminding them to prepare for war as soon as possible.

However, everyone is used to having fun, and knows that this is the case, but they just don't act.

Besides, no matter how well organized the army was, it was useless, so it simply pretended not to know from top to bottom.

When the Japanese pirates actually landed and launched an attack, the Ming Dynasty issued an official message again, actively asking if they needed help.

Li Yan followed the courtier's wishes and sent a reply letter, the subtext was: Don't worry about small problems, we can handle them by ourselves, don't worry.

However, this is obviously a dead duck's mouth.

At that time, the Japanese pirates fought and won victoriously, and had already captured Seoul, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had to move to Pyongyang with them.

At this moment, Tong Yangzheng, the deputy commander of Daming Kuandianbao who was closest to the peninsula, sensed that something was wrong, and took the initiative to cross the Yalu River to ask Yizhou officials if they needed support.

[Our country has sufficient military strength and does not need to work for the Heavenly Dynasty]

The original words are so.

Tong Yangzheng retreated helplessly.

Party struggle, good face, and various factors caused the Li Dynasty to delay too many opportunities, so that the Ming Dynasty received the letter of request for help. After learning the truth, it had to wonder whether there was a conspiracy in it.

There have always been rumors that Li Chao has colluded with the Japanese to plan Daming.

Otherwise, how could the Li Dynasty, which is barely considered a big country with a large number of natural dangers to defend and hundreds of thousands of armors, fall so quickly.

Li Yan clearly remembered that while defending himself, he was thinking:

Daming is a nation of parents, so a child would be beaten up outside and go back to his parents' house to eat and drink, isn't that too much?

During the tormented wait, Da Ming's father quickly found out the truth, and immediately sent reinforcements, and asked a general named Guo Mengzheng to give him 20,000 taels of silver, saying it was comfort...

all in all.

All kinds of experiences in the past made Li Yan look forward to the Heavenly Dynasty from the bottom of his heart, where there is an emperor's elder brother who has never met, but is extremely generous.

Therefore, when the crisis came again, he didn't think about resisting, but instead focused on being attached.

It's a pity that Emperor Wanli, who was far away in Yanjing, already hated this half-brother with a different surname.

But Li Yan didn't know it.

In fact, the Li Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom have been fighting for many years, dragging down the livelihood of the people, and Daming, who has internal worries, also feels a little tired and impatient.

Inside the imperial court, whether it is the main peace faction or the main war faction, they have now silently reached an agreement:

The big guys should finish their work in one battle, and drive the island country devils into the sea with a thunderous force. Don't delay any longer, and let the country's finances breathe a sigh of relief.

Therefore, the principles originally established when the war broke out have been further implemented——

More troops, more troops, more troops!

It is indeed difficult to defend Seoul with less than 10,000 people at present, but as long as you stick to it for a period of time, the crisis can be resolved.

Because Li Rumei, Li Fangchun, Zu Chengxun and other Liaodong generals have crossed the Yalu River for a long time, it is estimated that they will arrive in Gyeonggi Province of Li Dynasty in half a month.

And this is the first wave of support.

The second wave of support must be in place in one step to achieve the goal of driving the devils into the sea at once.

Since it is a big move that will involve all aspects, it is impossible to complete it this year.

You know, Liaodong and Xuanda have already sent a large army to the peninsula to fight against the Japanese, and the rest are shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the north of the Ming Dynasty. How could it be possible for a foreigner to unrestrainedly weaken the defense of the capital?

There is only one way left for the Ming court, which is to select troops and commanders from all over the country to participate in the war.

In addition, a series of logistics supply problems brought about by the increase in troop strength cannot be solved overnight.

[There are large monsters in this world, and the size of ships is even more exaggerated. Correspondingly, those soldiers who can carry a tripod need to eat more food to replenish their physical strength. 】

For now, this big project has quietly started. The guerrilla general Lan Fangwei's 4,000 Zhejiang soldiers and the former battalion general Wang Guodong's 3,000 cavalry have been circled by Emperor Wanli on the list.

Liaodong, Xuanda, Jiangnan, Sichuan and Chongqing, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau are all on the list of conscripts. They just wait for winter to pass and spring to set off to kill Japanese pirates in foreign countries.

Among them, three of them were booked early.

Liu Ting, General of the Broadsword.

He is good at wielding a giant iron sword. This person used to fight against the rebels in Burma and guard the southwestern border. Later, he was transferred to Sichuan and Chongqing as a general. During the Japanese Invasion in Imchen, when he heard that the imperial court was going to fight the little devil, he said excitedly :

"Lao Tzu's big knife is his mother's time to come in handy!"

Liu Ting immediately asked the imperial court to allow him to come out of Sichuan to fight against the Japanese. The imperial court also felt that a tiger general was idle, so he was asked to lead five thousand Sichuan troops to hunt down little devils in foreign countries.

After receiving the official transfer order, General Broadsword happily led the army to set off, but the journey was really far away. When he arrived at the Peninsula Battlefield, the devils had already lost their strength...

In other words.

Li Rusong led the Liaodong Army to show off and beat the Japanese out of Pyongyang, making them give up their attack completely and lose their energy.

And Liu Chen held a big sword and marched all the way in a hurry. As a result, he didn't win a big battle. After fighting soy sauce for two years, he had no choice but to return home.

Now that the second war is going on, he has received hints from the imperial court that although he is several years older than when he was on the first expedition, Liu Ting still can't help but scream, insisting on letting the little devil know how fierce Liu Dadao's big sword is .

No one is perfect.

Liu Ting has a very speechless problem:

greedy for money.

Not only that, he felt that everyone was as greedy for money as he was.

The first time he came out of Sichuan to fight against the Japanese, he had merit and hard work. It stands to reason that promotion and fortune are a certainty, but if he wanted to make more money, he went to bribe the censor Song Xingzu.

Who are they? Censor!

Responsible for monitoring and impeaching officials!

Dang even was sued by Song Xingzu to the court.

Emperor Wanli didn't go into it in the end. After all, the warrior was simple-minded, so he didn't reward or punish him. He even sent him to Bozhou to put down Yang Yinglong's rebellion.

With the strong support of the local governor, Liu Ting lived up to expectations and won a big victory.

It should be rewarded!

But Liu Ting made another mistake, and went to bribe the governor's father. Without accident, he stabbed the court again, and the merits and demerits were equal...

Emperor Wanli couldn't help but want to grab his collar and ask: What are you planning? Afraid that I won't give you a promotion? Do not go sideways!

However, Liu Ting was indeed capable of fighting, and he was especially fond of chopping off the heads of little devils, so at this moment, he was determined early by the court.

Followed by Dong Yiyuan.

The descendants of Dong Zhongshu, a great Confucian in the Han Dynasty, but they have become generals. Their father and elder brother are famous generals of a generation. Veteran of things.

The last is Chen Lin.

The titles the emperor intended for him were:

The imperial envoy commanded the sailors and the general officer of the Imperial Japanese Army.

After all, once the time for a general attack is ripe, it must be land and water advances!

This means that during the long war, the Daming Navy, which has always remained silent, is about to set sail for an expedition.

And Chen Lin, as a powerful man from Guangdong and Guangxi, has 2,000 sailors, 2,000 infantry soldiers, and nearly 5,000 wolf soldiers under his command, all of whom are good at fighting devils.

The wolf soldiers have always been the main force to fight against the Japanese. Long before the establishment of the Qi Family Army, the wolf soldiers used their brave fighting style to scare the Japanese pirates into fear.

But still the same sentence: No one is perfect.

Liu Ting is honest and honest, and he wants to cling to civil servants, but because of his poor political methods, he is always punished by others, but he can't make big troubles, and he doesn't like to bully others.

This Chen Lin is really bad, beating devils is unambiguous, but beating his own people is also the same, he likes to abuse soldiers, bully men and women, and plunder...

He has taken over everything that a gangster does, and this kind of person is still in a high position.

It is foreseeable that once the navy led by Chen Lin arrives on the peninsula, it will definitely be a wild ride.

Of course, Lu Zongbing doesn't care about the big counterattack plan for next year.

It is now the end of autumn. According to the original history, after the battle of defending Seoul and trying to counterattack again, the coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty and the Dynasty and the Japanese pirates will enter a stage of strategic stalemate and survive the cold winter that is not suitable for combat.

However, history took a big turn.

The old monkey Hideyoshi came to the peninsula, and with him sitting in the army, 100,000 Japanese pirates launched a strong attack regardless of casualties, and it is very possible to break through Seoul.

"Magui has thousands of troops in his hands, and with the natural dangers, he can be an army of 20,000."

The Black Emperor, that is, the giant turtle ship.

Many actors are pondering against the sand table.

There are no outsiders around, so they are much more casual in addressing them.

"Three to four lines of defense."

"Ma Gui's General Jie Sheng is stationed at the outermost perimeter, and has the largest number of troops, probably three to four thousand.

After all, Chen Yuzhong, a worthless guy, should have about 1,500 horses with him when he retreated to Quanzhou. "

Lu Li didn't hold back, and directly stated the facts:

"There are 2,000 people on the second line of defense. If the first line fails to withstand the pressure, they can stand up at any time."

"A total of 6,000 soldiers can hold back a 100,000 army for a few days? The third line of defense and the fourth line of defense can actually be regarded as one. Suwon and Seoul itself are close together, supporting 3,000 people to death."

Wei Feng pointed out the facts.

In the eyes of the player, the military deployment map around Seoul is completely transparent, unless...

"Nanyuan fought for more than half a month, and it's impossible for others to do nothing. Li Rumei is probably coming soon." Lu Li was a little excited.

When the Liaodong Army arrives in Seoul, the room for itself to play will be wider, so there is no need to worry about what Admiral Ma Gui will do.

Besides, Jinglue Yang Gao is considered half of himself.

"At the current speed, we can enter the Han River Basin in two days, and we can definitely catch up with the defense battle, but it is not clear whether the front line can withstand the pressure."

Wei Feng spoke with anticipation: "Except for the naval battle a few days ago, our group has never won at sea. I hope that we can transfer our luck when we go ashore."

"The generals under Ma Gui's command are tough, and they dare to fight and fight hard. It's not a problem to last for four or five days."

After saying that, Lu Li stood on the deck, looking in the direction of Tian'an, secretly worried.

The only way for the Japanese to go north.

Tian'an.

Jie Sheng, a frontline general of the Ming army, was preparing for the battle with all his strength, and he did not rush into Tian'an City.

Although he didn't know what method Zongbing Lu used to defend Nanyuan for so long and obtain unworldly achievements, Jie Sheng carefully weighed himself.

With his strength, if he dared to play like this, defending a city and resisting the Japanese soldiers, he wouldn't last long.

It's better to use the dangerous terrain of Jishan nearby to deal with the enemy and buy more time.

It is true that Xuanda and Liaodong didn't deal with it very much, but at the critical moment, everyone was a wise man, from Magui and below, in fact, they all looked forward to Li Rumei's quick arrival.
