A Weird Theater That Started In London

It is impossible for the army to rush forward in one go.

After thinking about it, Toyotomi Hideyoshi chose:

Kuroda Corps.

In fact, since the Battle of Nanyuan, the atmosphere within the Japanese army has changed. In the past, they were all rushing to be the vanguard and vying for more credit.

Now it has become that you push me to let me go, for fear of encountering some difficult demons, or worrying that the Ming army will come up with some deadly new tricks.

The Xiaoxi family has been abandoned.

This is especially true of the Shimadzu family. There are two outstanding patriarchs in charge. They should have prospered from generation to generation, but all of them, including the heirs, died on the battlefield.

Who wants to follow in its footsteps?

But I can't stand Hideyoshi-sama's tough assignment.

Nagamasa Kuroda, the commander of the 3rd Corps, didn't want to be ordered to cut his abdomen, and the Taiko had promised a lot of tempting conditions, so he simply took a gamble.

Zhangongzhou, crossing the Jinjiang River, approaching Tianan.

In fact, this place is not unfamiliar to Kuroda Nagamasa. He had been here as early as the Renchen year, in the early stages of his first invasion of the peninsula.

At that time, Governor Konishi and Kiyomasa Kato fought for each other, engaged in a speedy hurricane on the peninsula, sieging cities and looting countless places, and Kuroda followed, fighting steadily.

The marching line is exactly:

The Tianan-Suwon one.

Therefore, Hideyoshi old monkey, after careful consideration, ordered Kuroda Nagamasa.

"Revisit your hometown."

Looking at the map of mountains and rivers, a sigh sounded.

As a legion commander, Kuroda's business ability is naturally not bad. He concluded that the Ming army would not guard Tianan City, after all, the opponent did not have an advantage in military strength.

Of course, this inference has two premises.

1. During their attack on Nanyuan, no second Ming army crossed the Yalu River and did not support Seoul.

2. Responsible for the meticulous work of spying on intelligence, the information is accurate, and no one is confused and misjudged the situation.

I have to say that the psychological shadow that Lu Li left on the Japanese was too great, and Kuroda was afraid that he would bump into him again on the march.

After thinking about it, a small group of troops was divided, saying that it was launching a feint to investigate the enemy's situation. After all, if you really want to fight against the Ming people, this is no different from sending people to death.

…

Xie Sheng has already completed the tactical arrangement. He only allocated a small part of his troops to guard Tianan, and the rest are distributed in the mountains and forests.

Jishan is a good place for ambush!

The generals scouted the terrain, and together they made the following arrangements:

The foothills of Jishan Mountain was called Jinwuping, and the battlefield was selected to the north of Jinwuping. He divided his troops into three groups, and the left and right groups were ambushed in nearby Liupu and Lingtong, and the last group blocked the road.

To the south of Jinwuping is a large river called Gongxi, which is ten miles wide at its narrowest point. Unless the Japanese pirates want to try half-crossing and attacking, they can only enter Jinwuping through the bridge above.

Once the Japanese cross the bridge, they only need to blow up the bridge to form a situation of catching turtles in the urn.

"The strength of the troops is limited, and it is useless if they are concentrated. It is better to disperse them to make a big impact."

Standing on the mountain peak, Xie Sheng sighed that he had never fought such a humiliating battle in his entire life.

At the same time, it became more and more puzzled.

What method did the Nanyuan defender use to hold on for so long?

The same question resurfaced in my mind again.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't find an answer.

Xie Sheng didn't care about distraction, because the Japanese scouts groped for two or three hours, and finally returned to the camp to report the situation.

On the periphery of Jishan, the army begins to move!

With the arrow on the string, Kuroda Nagamasa set up the main formation at the Quanyi Pavilion on the south side.

A kind of institution similar to the [Ting] in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but the place is larger.

If he had seen through the enemy's tactical arrangements in the past, he would never have taken Tianan Town to heart, skipped it directly, and left it to Maori Hidemoto to deal with it, while he would lead the army north.

But the first battle in Nanyuan left a huge psychological shadow on the Japanese. No matter what, let's occupy a city first.

It is also good to find a fig leaf when introducing.

Based on this prudent idea, Kuroda Nagamasa dispatched three generals of the Twenty-Four Horsemen of Kuroda, who are famous under his command - Kuroda Shusuke, Kuriyama Shiroemon, and Maoyazhu Mizu.

The three generals led two thousand troops and arrived at Jinwuping in advance to launch a tentative attack.

The Vanguard Army deliberately changed out of their robes and put on white military uniforms, which were taken from the soldiers of the Li Chao, and can play a miraculous effect at special moments.

soon.

The Xie Ming army who was in charge of blocking it in the middle noticed the abnormality and looked at it carefully, thinking that it was an alliance retreating from the direction of Quanzhou, and didn't take it seriously.

And Shiro Kuriyama and the others were also startled by the sudden appearance of the Ming army.

To fight, or not to fight?

The Japanese warriors who were supposed to be indomitable became timid, fearing that the entire army would be wiped out.

Even though the Ming army on the road had only one gang, seven or eight hundred people up and down.

"Iron cannon, get ready."

"put!"

The unconfident Japanese chose to shoot instead of charging, and started the hand-to-hand combat that they were best at and proud of in the past.

Bang! Bang bang!

The sound of the firing of the iron cannon is different from that of the three-eyed gun. It is very crisp and highly recognizable!

The Ming army suddenly woke up, where is the Korean army, it's a real Japanese!

How to do?

Right bang!

Following Xie Sheng's order, the Ming army in the middle route began to fight back with the Great General Cannon, the Tiger Crouch Cannon, and the Three-Eyed Gun.

Not long ago, cannons of various calibers pre-installed on the mountainside also began to bombard the avenue.

Originally, the 2,000 Japanese were still immersed in the joy of succeeding in the sneak attack.

This time, he was caught off guard by the intense firepower, and the formation was in chaos.

It is undeniable that the Ming army does not have an advantage in numbers, but the cannonballs are definitely enough!

Under the heavy firepower that covered the sky and the sun, the Japanese gradually turned off the fire. The warriors hid behind solid rocks and shivered. From time to time, they grabbed iron cannons to counterattack twice to show their sense of existence.

Two thousand people?

It's worth exposing your full strength.

After thinking for a while, Xie Sheng, who had slashed an axe against the Japanese, decided to attack the entire army.

On the avenue, the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded like a drumbeat, coming from far and near.

Boom!

After the heavy firepower was suppressed, the cavalry went into battle.

The Japanese army looked up in horror, only to find hundreds of cavalry charging from both sides.

With a terrifying speed, combined with the powerful assault force, the Japanese formation was suddenly disrupted.

Brothers, give it to me!

The general who shouts such words is the most useless, it should be:

Brothers, come with me!

This point, whether it is the Liaodong Army, the Xuanda Army, or even the Southern Army, has been implemented. After all, it will be the courage of the soldiers.

Only seeing Sheng Yiqi at the moment, he showed his weapon and took the lead in a head-to-head battle with the Japanese pirates.

It is worth mentioning that the preparation of weapons in Xuanda is completely different from the Liaodong army that Guizi is most familiar with. Liaodong soldiers like to use knives as hand-to-hand weapons, and they are stationed in grasslands and deserts, and they are best at iron whips, sticks, and meteors. Hammer and other weapons.

Under a hard smash.

Red and white things fly together.

The samurai sword is sharp and not fake, but it is extremely brittle. Some materials are slightly inferior, and they are directly smashed on the spot.

on the battlefield.

A meteor hammer came flying.

He easily broke off a samurai's sword, and he hit a head without losing his strength.

In an instant, the Japanese stuck out his small tongue and flew out backwards, his head shriveled out of shape, as if he could not survive.

In the face of the Ming army's assault, the Kuroda army could not be said to be unprepared, but he did not expect it to be so violent.

Two thousand warriors were surrounded on the road, unable to advance or retreat.

The twenty-four cavalry of Kuroda are very famous in Japan, and the three generals who lead the team are all among them.

And inside them, there are other classifications, Kuroda Shusuke and Kuriyama Shiroemon, who are also known as: Kuroda Eight Tigers.

But whether it was a horse or a tiger, they were all dumbfounded at this time, thanks to the quick response of the owner of Mao, Shui, and when Kuroda and Lishan joined forces to block the generals such as Xie Sheng, he grabbed the banner and jumped on the huge rock. , shaking desperately.

At this point, it finally gave the troops a clear signal, and the Kuroda Army soldiers who were divided into pieces by the cavalry were not bad themselves. Although they were in chaos, they reluctantly shrunk their formation and retreated to the rear.

A war is simply not called it.

To be precise, it can only be called:

Contact War.

As for the results, they were far from satisfactory.

This Japanese vanguard, ordinary warriors and soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, about 600 to 700 people, but the main general was not damaged, so he was born to carry tigers down the mountain. When they first rushed down, they killed a hundred generals in an instant. .

But in this battle, Daming won the battle cleanly and should be celebrated.

After the three Japanese generals withdrew from Jishan with their remnants of defeated soldiers, they began to summarize the defeat.

The owner of the house Mao is the oldest in water qualification, plus he has made great achievements in commanding the retreat of the army, and his words are very weighty:

"This old man has participated in so many battles in his life that he can't even count them, and the one with the largest number of people participating in the battle is Duke Nobunaga vs. Duke Katsurai, that is, the battle of Nagashino."

"The Ming army we encountered just now is obviously larger than the battle of Changxiao!"

The Battle of Nagashino was a contest between the 35,000 Oda Army and the 15,000 Takeda Army, with a total strength of 50,000.

So, there are 50,000 Ming troops guarding Jishan Mountain?

This is not talking nonsense with your eyes open!

If there are so many Ming soldiers in the Seoul area, what are they guarding? The two armies are facing each other directly, and the entire Kuroda family is not enough to jam their teeth.

However, since the owner of the house Mao said so, he must have a deep meaning, and the book assistant surnamed Kuroda knew it in his heart and agreed:

"There are so many enemy soldiers. We finally got out of the ambush circle. Why don't we retreat quickly, join our team, and take Tian'an City first."

"good."

Kuriyama is also a human being, and he waved his hand:

"I saw very clearly just now that the Ming army is equipped with a divine iron shield, and our guns can't actually do much damage. If we want to win, we must have at least 20,000 troops."

The three sat together and started making up stories.

In the final analysis, he still saw through the attitude of the owner.

In the eyes of all the daimyo, this expedition to the peninsula was not for occupying land, but for Lord Hideyoshi to regain his lost face.

How valuable is this face?

In the eyes of each big name, they have their own answers, but they just don't dare to say them.

Anyway, even Kato Kiyomasa, who is most loyal to the Taiko, will not cause the entire army to be wiped out just for his sake.

In this country, there are still many forces that can grind their teeth and allow blood. They must preserve a certain strength and maintain their own fiefs.

However, based on the actual situation, the three cunning Japanese generals roughly estimated in their hearts that Jishan should have ambushed nearly 6,000 Ming people.

The Kuroda family has only more than 7,000 people in total, and it does not occupy the geographical position. If they fight recklessly, the Kuroda family may not exist in the future.

"We should wait for Maori Hidemoto to arrive, and the two will gather the iron artillery team and use salvos to attract the attention of the Ming people, and then send a considerable number of partial divisions to break into the garrison of their shields and cut off their feet. Beheaded."

After getting together and telling so many lies, Kuroda Shusuke felt bad about it, so he told half the truth.

Waiting for the Maori family to be true, the so-called tactical arrangements are all nonsense.

Kuroda Nagamasa, who had high hopes from Hideyoshi, brought more than 5,000 samurai in his team and took Tianan City lightly.

Are there any results?

Have!

Has the strategic goal been achieved?

No!

Tianshui City is insignificant, and it is only used as a fig leaf. As long as Jishan is not captured, it will never be possible to invade Seoul from this direction.

[The army is better than the bridge, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support, it is my death]

[The enemy's army is tenfold and I have no successor, so I have to fight to the death]

Kuroda Nagamasa began to write and cry, telling Hideyoshi, who was in the rear, that the Ming army was ten times his own and that he was ready to die heroically.

In the end, Anzai mentioned that he fought desperately and won a fortified city from Daming's rival.

This letter was written with emotion.

If it wasn't for the fact that his family knew about his family affairs, Kuroda Nagamasa would have almost believed the lie he had written by himself.

After all, this is the old tradition of the Kuroda family, no, it is the tradition of all daimyo.

Various "family records", such as "Kuroda family records", have a distinctive feature of the war narrative:

If we win the battle, we will boast about the number of Ming troops killed and wounded, but water... If the number of Ming troops involved in this battle is increased tenfold, it may not be enough for a devil to kill with a pen.

If the battle situation on your side is unfavorable, then the void will summon the Ming army, try to exaggerate the actual strength of the Ming army, and then turn around and boast about the bravery of its generals, and can be barbara in such a situation.

Inwardly anxious, he had already made up his mind to defend Jishan's revival, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com could never have imagined that the mere 3,000 or 4,000 troops under his command became 50,000 among the Japanese population!

If he has 50,000 people, plus follow-up reinforcements, let alone drive the pirates into the sea, and directly kill the little devil's hometown...

"The Japanese are afraid that they will be killed in Nanyuan, but I look at their generation, and they are very depressed, and they will retreat at the touch of a button."

"I don't know how General Lu is, alas."

The first battle of Jishan seemed to have nothing to do with Lu Li, but in fact it was closely related. Xie Sheng was keenly aware that the Japanese people's desire to fight was very low, and they lacked the spirit of Ren Chennian.

Just like in the previous encounter, even if the two thousand Japanese were stunned by the artillery fire, they would not retreat easily. They would organize at least two or three counterattacks, and only began to think about turning when they could not do anything about it.

That's the truth.

Only in a battle ten times that of the enemy, the Japanese army commander will actively kill the enemy, as if tens of thousands of troops are gathered in one place, so that they will not be so afraid.

Once they were evenly matched, or had a slight disadvantage, they immediately began to complain and hesitated.

The war was interrupted hastily.

The Kuroda family was stationed at Tian'an City, without any action, they made up their minds to wait for reinforcements;

Xie Sheng was so happy, he just came to buy more time, at most Li Rumei and others came in half a month.

However, Lu Li was obviously one step ahead of Li Rumei, and he was more able to represent the Liaodong Army.

"Han River."

At the mouth of the sea, a slightly excited voice sounded from a giant turtle ship.
