Chapter 955 Afterglow of the Empire (11) [Actors: Jumpable]

With the cooperation of the internal forces, the Japanese army was in chaos.

The soldiers who crossed the river seized the time and crossed in one fell swoop. The generals rushed to the front of the camp in front of the camp. The Japanese were defeated without a fight and fled towards Jinzhou.

The vanguard officials Lan Fangwei and Mao Guoqi who received the signal immediately launched a pursuit. More precisely, they only chased but did not attack, which further stimulated the escape instinct of the Satsuma warriors.

In the end, he followed for hundreds of miles, broke through all the big villages along the river, and burned more than 2,000 barracks.

The coach, Dong Yiyuan, lamented that Guo Guoan really kept his word, and at the same time ordered a rapid advance. The tens of thousands of Ming troops who had just crossed the river, after a short rest, went straight to the next target underground: Jinzhou City.

In fact, the Dongguo soldiers in Jinzhou City also panicked, because Nanjiang was taken so easily, so they had no psychological preparations at all, and fell into an embarrassing situation where they could not defend themselves.

It is true that the samurai from the Kanto region of Japan had never experienced severe beatings, and their morale was high, but they really couldn't defend Jinzhou!

Because they are defenseless.

Jinzhou City has no walls.

Or rather, there used to be.

As early as a few years ago, during the massacre initiated by the Japanese, the city walls of Jinzhou were first attacked by raging fire, and then suffered extreme rainstorms. All the walls on all sides collapsed. In such a short period of time, there was no terrain to rely on, and it was impossible to repair it at all.

So the Jinzhou defenders...there are no defenders anymore.

Seeing the menacing cavalry of the Ming army, they behaved very simply, they did not intend to resist at all, they were directly surrounded by the Samoan warriors, and they fled the city together.

In the end, the Ming army won two important military sites in a row without bloodshed.

After capturing Jinzhou, Dong Yiyuan was full of confidence, and immediately dispatched two troops to Yongchun and Kunyang, the two camps located in the east and west, to pin down the Japanese pirates there.

At the same time, Dong Yiyuan himself led the main force, went all the way south along Jinzhou, drove straight in, and made a aggressive gesture of approaching Sacheon. Judging from the posture, he was undoubtedly preparing to catch a big fish.

In the next few days, good news came to Lu Li one after another:

On the night of the 20th, Yongchun was broken by the Ming army;

In the early morning of the 22nd, Kunyang, which was a little further away, was also burned.

The two Japanese troops were hunted down in Sacheon City.

So far, the threat from the periphery and flanks of the Central Army has been wiped out, and the peripheral defense system that the Japanese have worked so hard to build has been trampled to the ground.

And the first achievement should be Guo Guoan.

However, after sweeping away the external forces, Dong Yiyuan's real soldiers approached the city of Surabaya. As a result, when he explored the terrain, he muttered again in his heart.

Mao Guoqi: "The Japanese have no other skills, but they really have a knack for repairing tortoise shells."

Ulsan, which was attacked at the beginning, was divided into:

Ulsan Old City and Dosan Waseong.

And Sacheon also has two cities, one is the old city built by the government of the Li Dynasty, and the other is the newly built Wa City, which is located on Fachi Island not far from the old city.

The latter is surrounded by sea on three sides and land on one side. Unless the navy is mobilized to participate in the siege, it will be difficult to cut off the supplies here. Moreover, huge trenches have been dug with sea water, which is very difficult to attack.

In addition, there were still Japanese army camps stationed around Sacheon, and the defense was still dense. Dong Yiyuan stood still and decided to surround Sacheon first, and then find another way.

"It's not impossible to fight hard, but there are too many casualties." Lu Li sat in the comfortable cabin and began to write to Dong Yiyuan.

There is no big problem with Magui.

But there may indeed be problems with the Central Route Army. More precisely, there are two fatal mistakes.

Perhaps the actors who are involved in it will actively prevent and guard against such incidents——

Reject the oldest but practical method of warfare: Encircling Three Ques and One.

General Peng Xingu's troops were too poorly disciplined. In order to grab credit, they rushed up and ignored the general's cannon on the position. In the end, the cannon accidentally exploded and detonated the Ming army's gunpowder depot.

That tragedy...

According to historical records, a glaring flame exploded in the artillery camp, black clouds soared into the sky, and then the roaring sound came into the ears, and the hot flame and shock wave spread indiscriminately to the surroundings.

Countless complete Ming soldiers turned into stumps and arms, were thrown high, and then fell to the scalding ground. During this period, no blood leaked out, and all the liquid had been dried at high temperature.

The gunpowder smoke that covered the sky suddenly dimmed the sky. Both the Ming army and the Japanese army came to a standstill, and no one recovered immediately.

In the end, it was confirmed that a terrorist explosion occurred in the Ming army's position. Whether it was a soldier or a general, they all panicked and turned around to run for their lives, because their homes had suffered a terrible "attack".

The soldiers who were originally rational became crazy in this crazy atmosphere.

The Japanese began to turn from defense to offense, chasing and annihilating the Ming army who had no will to resist. Because they have been reduced from an established army to weak individuals, it is easier than killing a chicken, and their heads and ears are cut off.

Rivers of blood flowed and wreckage lay everywhere.

It became a stain that could never be erased during the counter-offensive stage of the Ming army, and the key point of failure——

Peng Xingu.

The black soldiers that the king of the Li Dynasty asked to see before were all from his command.

It looks quite bluffing, and there is a fancy title of black-faced God of War, but it doesn't matter at all, and besides the blacks, this guy is all officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp.

What's the use of a group of veteran soldiers?

You must know that the military discipline of the Beijing camp has always been very poor. This is the long-standing malpractice of the Ming Dynasty. The people and officials of the Li Dynasty hate this gang of scoundrels from the capital of the Ming Dynasty the most.

When the dawn of victory appeared in the war, these gangsters left their positions without authorization and rushed towards the city gate. In the end, the unattended cannon exploded, detonated the gunpowder magazine, and sent away the innocent Ming soldiers from other troops around.

If this happened to the East Route Army and the West Route Army, Ma Gui and Liu Ting would at least be able to ensure chaos without collapse.

But the most powerful central route army can't do it.

The source of troops is too complicated.

General Zu Chengxun of the Liaodong Army led Zunhua soldiers, while Xuanfu General Ma Wencheng led Bashu soldiers. In addition, there were Zhejiang soldiers, Jing soldiers, Xuanda soldiers, Jizhou soldiers, and Miyun soldiers.

Everyone doesn't trust each other, and there is even less tacit understanding. When such a sudden change occurs, all the ministries will go their own way, which seems to mean that a catastrophe is imminent and they will go their own way.

Therefore, Lu Li wanted to avoid this tragedy.

At the same time, the actors who stayed in the middle route army had already made up their minds to stop Peng Xingu and his gang of idiots.

And the worst plan is that tragedy will inevitably appear, and they will go up immediately to control the unattended cannons and gunpowder depots on the position.

After all, such accidental mistakes are completely manageable for those who know in advance where they are going.

The Eastern Route Army stood still.

After the surprise spy battle was staged, the Central Route Army, which entered the stalemate stage, began to confront the main force of the Japanese army.

What is the West Route Army doing?

Lu Li, who had nothing to do, looked at another pile of reports and picked it up.

It turned out that Liu Ting, the general of the big sword, had been idle for a while, and began to be busy singing operas, and the battle was quite big, and tens of thousands of soldiers accompanied him to perform together, just to trick an ignorant "fool" into taking the bait...
