The remaining dozens of hundred-household officials in the remnants of the army were all promoted to thousand-households by Li Luo. And the remaining more than 60 thousand household officials are all under Li Luo's command.

Therefore, most of the new generals who came to participate in the military conference were familiar faces at a glance. Either an officer of Jianghua Xiangyong, or an officer of the Haidong Tang Army.

Of the 100,000 newly appointed households in the remnant army, nine were Li Luo's subordinates. Guangxia, Yang Xu, Zhu Jie, Zhang Yong, Yang Qingque, Jiang Jun, Du Lie, and Utu were all temporarily appointed as ten thousand households.

Only the 10,000 households of the Mongolian soldiers and the Semu soldiers were served by the only Mongolian 100 households chief Zheza.

The generals of the Mongolian army, who had more than 100 households, all fled back to China. Why didn't Jeza go? Because Zheza just offended his thousand-family chief, and Zheza's background was only a small root of ten households. So his head of a thousand households didn't inform Zheza at all.

This made Zheza the only remaining Mongolian army officer.

When Li Luo found out, he immediately found Zhezha and said in Mongolian with a metropolitan accent: "It is the eagle that will eventually spread its wings and fly high, and the good bow will eventually shoot the beast for its master." If it's a big tree, it shouldn't be a weed. ”

"Zheza, I, Li Hara don't spend it, and temporarily appoint you as the face of ten thousand households for the imperial court. I hope you will not live up to the glory of the Mongol warriors. I hope you will take the surviving Mongolian warriors and the horses of the northern country and gallop on the land of Japan! ”

Suddenly from a hundred households to ten thousand, even if it is only temporary, Zheza is very happy. He immediately knelt down excitedly, put his hand on his chest and said:

"The Mongols will not accept the fate of defeat, just as a wolf will never give in to its flock. I, Zheza, am honored to have the trust of the Great General. Swear to Tengri that as long as I am your subordinate, I will obey the general as I did with Xindu Batu. ”

"With the courage and strength bestowed by Genghis Khan, I will let the lowly Japanese people, grief because of fear, pull their hair and beard, and wail and cry every day."

Li Luo said: "My Zheza, you will become a real head of ten thousand households, believe me, Zheza." ”

Zhezha said again: "Thank you, General." ”

Zheza was a Mongolian officer, and he was originally determined to look down on Li Luo, a "Korean". However, the so-called urgent matter is in power, Li Luo is not only a general of the reinforcements, but also a "manager of ten thousand households" in the third grade, and asked him to temporarily lead tens of thousands of cavalry, which made him sincerely obey.

At the moment of life and death, people of different ethnic groups tend to unite, which is also where humanity lies.

The reason why Li Luo asked Zhezha to be the commander of Wanhu to lead the remnants of the Mongol Semu army was that he knew very well that the Mongol Semu soldiers could not become his anti-Yuan hegemony force, but would be his biggest enemy. Since it is destined to be an enemy in the future, there is no value in storage, and there is no need to send one's cronies to be ten thousand households.

Even if he sent his cronies to be the remnants of the Mongol army, he would not be able to command, and the Mongol army would not be convinced.

It is now the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, not the end of the Yuan Dynasty when the rule of the Meng Yuan Dynasty collapsed, let alone the beginning of the Ming Dynasty after the Meng Yuan withdrew from the Central Plains. It is impossible for him to be like Zhu Di, who still has the Mongolian army under his command.

The Mongol forces in Zhu Di's era were all divided, and of course there would be Mongol tribes like the Duoyan tribe who were loyal.

And he, Li Luo, don't even think about it.

Even the Koreans and the Japanese could be used by him, but the Mongol army certainly couldn't.

Therefore, Li Luo's positioning of Zheza is a knife, a knife that is sharp but can be discarded at any time.

Li Luo simply promoted a large group of Mongolian brand leaders (Shi Chang) to thousands of households, which can be regarded as re-establishing the command system of the Mongolian army.

These Mongolian chiefs were suddenly promoted to thousands of households, and they were all grateful to Li Luo. Li Luo also took advantage of this to control the remnants of the Mongol army.

At the beginning of the military discussion, Li Luo first asked the new commanders of each department to report on the number of their departments.

Zheza stood up first and said: "General, after counting, there are still more than 7,500 in our Mongolian army, and more than 2,700 in the Tanma Red Army, a total of 10,000 and 300. The armor was complete, there were more than 9,700 war horses, but more than 3,000 people had no weapons. ”

Li Luo nodded: "Mongolian warriors can't live without war horses. If you are missing 600 horses, you will be replaced. weapons, too, will be replenished. "Two thousand cavalry came from Haidong, but there were two thousand eight hundred horses, and the surplus horses were replenished to the Mongol army.

"General Xie!" Li Luo was so happy, and Zheza suddenly felt even more grateful.

Du Yeol, who was temporarily appointed as the Goryeo Army's Ten Thousand Households, said: "There are still 13,000 Goryeo troops, of which 800 are equipped with heavy cavalry. More than 4,000 people were left without weapons. ”

As the heads of thousands of households reported one by one, Li Luo knew what to expect.

There were 10,000 and 300 Mongol soldiers, 13,000 Goryeo troops, and more than 68,000 Jiangnan troops. The remnants of the army totaled 92,000.

There were 1,600 horses left, of which more than 2,400 were mounted heavy cavalry from Mongolia and Goryeo, and the rest were light cavalry.

The number of people who lost their weapons reached 30,000, accounting for one-third.

Fortunately, Li Luo had been prepared and carried a large amount of ordnance. The supplementary ordnance that Li Luo carried included the Goryeo military quartermaster who was "defrauded" on Tsushima Island, the seizure of the Pu Arsenal, and the self-made ordnance made by the Haidong Craftsman's Office.

Combined, it can arm thirty or forty thousand people, and the ordnance to replenish the remnants of the army is more than enough.

In the ordnance reserve, in addition to 30,000 pieces of swords and guns, tens of thousands of pairs of armor, tens of thousands of bows, and 400,000 feather arrows, there are also a large number of bed crossbows, stone cannons, and divine arm bows produced in Haidong.

As soon as so many ordnance were replenished, plus the ordnance that the remnants of the army already had, they immediately armed an army of 100,000 to the teeth.

In addition to ordnance, it is military rations and horse feed.

Li Luo "defrauded" Goryeo of 20,000 stone of military rations, and brought more than 100,000 stone from Haidong, plus the military rations allocated to him when he set out for the expedition, a total of 140,000 stone remained.

140,000 stone army rations, almost enough for 100,000 troops to eat for three months. Food is not a problem at all for the time being.

Horse feed, but only enough for more than 10,000 horses to eat for a month. In other words, if you can't land in Kyushu within a month, the horse will be scrapped.

Without a horse, it's a fart.

The bigger problem is fresh water.

The water from the wells on Eagle Island is salty. There is fresh water on the island, but there is not enough to drink.

The fresh water Li Luo carried was only enough for 100,000 people to drink for ten days.

So, within ten days, either drink horse Kyushu or leave Eagle Island. But to leave Eagle Island, there are not enough boats. Li Luo's ship can only take away a maximum of 50,000 people.

However, the most urgent task at the moment is not to land and attack, but to run in with the remnants of the army, so that the new commanders at all levels in the remnants of the army can quickly control the troops and thoroughly restore the command and management system.

It will take at least a few days, and there is no urgency.

Therefore, Li Luo ordered the training to be conducted for five days, and after five days, he would attack Kyushu again.

The second important topic of the military discussion is the reconstruction of the battle sequence.

First of all, the formation of a Chinese army.

Li Luo screened out all the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division in the remnant army, stripped them out of the Land Division, and integrated them into the Water Division under Li Luo's command. In this way, the original 7,000 sailors suddenly expanded to 15,000.

This fifteen-thousand-water division was led by Luo Yu, Zheng He, Liu Tuo, and Han Shao. As a naval division of the Chinese army. The reason why all the sailors were included in the Chinese army was because Li Luo wanted to control every boat.

and then the 10,000 Jiangnan Army under the temporary command of Yang Xu was assigned to the Chinese Army.

The 7,000 army under Li Luo is, of course, also the Chinese army.

In this way, the Chinese army has 17,000 land forces and 15,000 naval divisions, for a total of 32,000. The task of the Chinese army is mainly to dominate the sea, and beyond that, it is to serve as a general reserve. As for being the vanguard of the landing attack, I'm sorry, that's not the task of the Chinese army.

The 800 heavy cavalry of the Goryeo army were all assigned to the cavalry of Jeza. In this way, the Mongol cavalry of Zheza had 11,000 cavalry, including more than 2,000 heavy cavalry.

Because the Goryeo soldiers had good foot shooting, 13,000 Goryeo soldiers, mainly equipped with bows and arrows, formed the largest archery group in the whole army, called the infantry bow army.

The remaining 50,000 Jiangnan Army has six army offices with 10,000 households. One of the ten thousand households was changed to be fully equipped with bed crossbows, stone cannons, and bazookas, and was called the ballista army.

In addition, there were 50,000 households, and there was originally a full staff equipped with Song Army infantry armor heavy infantry, which remained unchanged. No. for the Heavy Infantry Army.

The last four thousand households are the most ordinary infantry. The number is the assault left army, the assault right army, the assault front army, and the assault rear army.

Generally speaking, there have been very few changes in the various units, mainly because they have been given military titles and their key tasks have been clarified. But compared to when Xin Du and Fan Wenhu were still there, this arrangement seemed more orderly.

As a result, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army suddenly took on a new look, was in good order, and the morale of the army recovered quickly.

More importantly, after Li Luosa sent a large amount of military rations and ordnance, he regained the hearts of the remnants of the army overnight, and really began to grasp the military power of the Eastern Army.

…………

On the third day after Li Luo led the army, the Japanese army headquarters in Kyushu began to plan a new military strategy.

Takeki Jichang's sea outpost reported that the Yuan Kou on Eagle Island was estimated to have been greatly replenished, and it seemed that morale had recovered. There is a lot of cooking smoke on the island, and there should be no shortage of military rations.

Yuan Kou's soldiers and horses must still have more than 100,000.

As a result, the so-called encirclement and suppression of Yunyun by going to sea will be completely unimplementable.

Now that Kyushu only has 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if the Yuan army that has recovered morale and been replenished can win, the best outcome will be a miserable victory. Once you lose, it's over.

The risk is too great, and a lot of samurai will die. You can't do that at all.

In the original history, the Japanese army relied on its superiority in strength to annihilate the remnants of the Yuan army that were hungry, lacking armaments, demoralized, and fighting separately.

Hey, kamikaze, why don't you send the newly arrived Yuankou reinforcements to the bottom of the sea? Shao Er, Jingzi and others couldn't help but regret it.

At this time, the arrival of Yuankou reinforcements had diluted the excitement of the Japanese army because of the kamikaze, and the Japanese army continued to pray to the gods while having to choose defense again.

"Send someone to Honshu and ask His Highness Hojo to continue to send reinforcements, and as soon as the reinforcements arrive, they can go to sea for a decisive battle!" The decision was made by the young two economic resources.

"Then ask for reinforcements! Hey, what a pity. It is estimated that the reinforcements in this state have been dismissed, and it will take more than half a month to reconvene and come to Kyushu to help in the war at the earliest. The general of Zhenxi, Hojo Shimasa, also sighed.

…………

Because the Japanese army adopted the military strategy of holding on and waiting for reinforcements, and then turning defense into attack, and Li Luo also needed time to train the army to conquer the east, there was no action on both sides in the next few days, and it was rare to be quiet for a few days.

On August 10, Li Luo beat the drum again and finally started the landing strategy that he had planned with Cui Xiuning a long time ago.

The first step is to kill the Japanese Kyushu Marine!

This is a strategic step that Li Luo and Cui Xiuning agreed on. The strategic mistake of Xin Du and others was to focus all their energy on the landing, but to ignore the Japanese naval division.

This is also the fault of the Mongolian generals, who have never paid attention to the role of sailors. Only the sailors are regarded as sea transport teams. The Yuan army fought Japan, Annam, and Java, but they all suffered because they didn't use the water division well.

Japan is an island country, if you don't kill the Japanese sailors, you will completely control the sea power, what day will you levy?

In the past, the Yuan army was constantly harassed at sea, and every move could not escape the eyes of the Japanese army, and it was impossible to land and attack the fortifications with peace of mind.

As long as the Japanese naval division is killed, the Kyushu Army will become blind and deaf, and will completely fall into passivity.

Li Luo is very familiar with this history. He knew that there were now more than 20,000 Japanese sailors in the waters of Kyushu. More than half of them are still the pirate coalition of Takeki Kicho and the Matsuura Party.

The combat power of this pirate coalition is actually stronger and more flexible than that of the regular Japanese sailors.

In addition to the pirate coalition, it is Shimazu's long-standing Satsuma sailor.

The entire strategic plan is in Li Luo's mind. There was no need for him to discuss it with the generals. He just needs to give the order and implement the plan directly.

On the evening of August 10, all the ships of the Eastern Expeditionary Army set sail north, with the intention of attacking Dazaifu again.

At the same time, Li Luo ordered the defenders on Eagle Island to stand by in battle.

When the news reached the Japanese battalion, Shao Er's capital immediately judged: Yuan Kou has divided his troops!

One stayed on Eagle Island, and the other went north to attack Dazaifu.

Then, the Japanese army can only divide its troops from the north and south accordingly, and there is no other way.

On the one hand, Shaoji Jingzi ordered Takeki Jichang to delay the Yuan fleet to go north as always, and at the same time personally led 40,000 elite soldiers to defend Dazaifu in the starry night.

Because, if there is no pirate alliance of Takeki Ji to drag down the Yuankou fleet, his speed may not be as fast as that of Yuankou.

Zhuqi Ji Chang didn't need Shao'er Jingzi to give an order, so he commanded more than 10,000 pirate coalition troops and Li Luo's fleet to the north. He divided the pirate coalition into ten teams, took turns intercepting and harassing, and then relied on the small speed of the ships to keep a safe distance from the Yuan fleet, and then attacked the last ships.

This set of tactics, like hyenas, is indeed annoying, but it cannot be ignored.

Li Luo was not on the ship at this time, and on Eagle Island, there was no need for him to take risks as a commander. He believed that Luo Yu, Zheng He and others would be able to execute his plan well.

The men and horses of the northbound fleet were far less than the Japanese imagined, and they were only 15,000 sailors, not a single infantry and cavalry.

It was only because they brought too many ships that the Japanese army misjudged that there were 50,000 people. In fact, many of the ships are empty.

Therefore, the purpose of the Kitakami Fleet was not to attack Dazaifu at all, but to lure out the pirate coalition of Takeshiki and destroy it.

The Japanese generals and commanders did not think that the purpose of Motoko was not Dazaifu, but Takeki Kicho.

Even Zhuqi Jichang himself didn't expect that he would have such a big face.

Takeki Ji Chang stood on the deck at this time, looking at the lights of the Yuankou fleet in front of him, like a starry sky, and couldn't help but be a little confused.

He looked at his fleet, and then he pulled back his thoughts.

The Yuankou ship is big and there are many people, but so what? The warriors of the Kingdom of God are not to be dishonored. It won't be long before the Yuankou fleet in front of you will be buried in the sea.

At some point, there were more than 200 masked black-clothed men standing on the flagship deck, all of them carrying short knives, and even the clothes on their bodies seemed to be a special kind of leather, which was very smooth.

They are the water ghost team of Takeki Kicho, and they are also the maritime reconnaissance team of the Japanese army.

"Gentlemen, let's act!" Takeki Ji Chang ordered, "Even if you can't get the head of the Yuankou generals, you must find out their strength. ”

"Hello!" More than 200 water ghosts jumped into the water together, only splashing a little water, and the sound was very small, obviously the water nature is extremely good.

Sending out water ghosts to act is an old method of Takeki Jichang.

These water ghosts are not only excellent in water, but also very skilled in fighting, and they are the most important force under his command. They can stay in the sea for half a day without going ashore, and they are real sea warriors.

As soon as more than two hundred water ghosts left, the troops on the flagship were suddenly only a few dozen people left. However, with his fleet on the left and right, he was not worried about safety.

The ship of the Japanese Navy Division is not large, and the flagship of Takeki Ji Chang is already the largest ship of the Japanese Navy Division, and it can only carry 300 people.

Takeki Ji Chang came to the cabin, started typing a Kyushu chart, and waited for news from his subordinates while looking at the map and pondering.

Almost two hours passed, and it was almost dawn, and Takeki Jichang finally heard the movement outside.

It was the sea warriors who came back, hoping that they would kill a lot of Yuankou, or at least let Yuankou live in peace overnight.

Takeki Jichang went up to the deck with expectations, and with the help of the lantern on the flagship mast, he saw a hundred men in black, standing on the deck wet, with short knives in their mouths.

Takeki Ji Chang sighed in his heart, he sent out more than two hundred sea warriors, how could there be only more than a hundred people who came back?

Could it be that nearly 100 people have sacrificed their lives for the country?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhuqi Jichang suddenly felt a heartache.

"Why are there so many people missing?" Takeki Ji Chang asked. The sea warriors are all elite, extremely water-based, and few of them have been damaged in several actions.

Several masked men in black walked over quickly, as if they were about to answer. But as soon as they walked up to Takeki Jichang, Takeki Jichang realized that something was wrong.

Although their clothes are also black, they are still a little different from the clothes of the sea warriors. And their short knives, too, are different!

Not good!

As soon as Zhuqi Ji Chang found out that something was wrong, several people on the opposite side suddenly burst out, and the short knives in their hands stabbed together.

At the same time, the remaining more than 100 men in black also suddenly burst out and attacked the sailors on the flagship.

The incident happened so suddenly, and before Takeki Ji Chang had time to draw his knife, he was surrounded by three men in black......

Just a moment later, dozens of sailors, including Takeki Jichang, were attacked and killed by the men in black. Pity the great samurai Takeki Jicho who left his name in the history of Japan, and the sea warrior who is good at sneak attacks at sea, even died on this method that he was proud of.

Of course, the man in black also suffered several casualties.

Actually, this is not Takeki Ji's carelessness. Because, he has repeatedly used sea warriors to carry out raid missions, and he has repeatedly succeeded. However, the Yuan army never used the same means to counteract. Let him judge that the Yuan army does not have an underwater team.

He judged correctly, the Yuan army did not have an underwater team. However, Li Luo has it.

This is called darkness under the lights, or blind spots. Most of those who drowned were people who knew how to water.

The fight just now was surrounded by several people and killed one person, so it was not intense. The pirate ship closest to the flagship was also at a distance, and the sound of the wind and waves on the sea made the light dim, so no ship had discovered the change in the flagship.

"It's getting dawn." The man in black at the head said, and his mouth turned out to be Chinese.

"Captain, do you want to send the flag to gather the pirate fleet?" One asked.

The captain shook his head, "Wait another two quarters of an hour, it's still dark, and the pirate ship can't be seen even if the flag is issued." ”

They, of course, are the water ghost team trained by Li Luo.

Li Luo's water ghost team, with a total of only two or three hundred people, was personally trained by Luo Yu and Han Shao. On this expedition, the water ghost team finally came in handy.

Before the sailor set out for the expedition, Li Luo told Luo Yu, Zheng He and others that there was a group of sea warriors under the command of Zhuqi Ji Chang who were proficient in water, and they repeatedly attacked and killed the generals of the Yuan army at night to spy on the military situation. This time, the sea warriors will definitely come.

So, Luo Yu arranged a trap, on the one hand to lure the sea warrior to the bait, and on the other hand, to arrange encirclement and suppression.

Therefore, as soon as the sea warriors approached the fleet, they were immediately discovered by the water ghost warteam that had been prepared for a long time, and with the cooperation of the fleet sailors, they ambushed and killed the sea warriors of Takeki Jichang.

Then, he implemented the tactic of returning the favor with the other, and sent a water ghost team to attack the flagship of Takeki Jichang.

The final step of the plan, if the attack on Takeki Jichang is successful and does not alarm the pirate fleet, then in the name of the pirate flagship, issue a flag and order the pirate fleet fleet to assemble.

Why is it so difficult to deal with? In addition to the fact that he had an underwater battle team, it was he who divided the fleet of more than 10,000 people into more than ten thousand teams, and the Yuan army could not fight a decisive battle with him.

Only when the pirate coalition forces are regrouped will there be a chance for a decisive battle.

Half an hour later, the sky finally brightened. The pirate ship closest to the pirate flagship suddenly found that the flagship was waving the flag of fleet assembly.

Suddenly, as if lighting a beacon fire, one by one flags centered on the flagship, sending out the command of the flag to convey the assembly.

Slowly, the pirate fleets scattered within a radius of more than ten miles gradually gathered.

Soon after, two or three hundred pirate ships finally formed a large fleet of more than 10,000 people again.

At this moment, the water ghost warband, dressed in Japanese-style armor, issued a flag again, and summoned all the ship generals and chamberlain generals to participate in the military meeting on the flagship.

Soon, one by one, the pirate leaders came by boat, connected to the flagship through the bridge, and then boarded the ship.

As soon as they boarded the ship, the bridge was immediately withdrawn.

Participating in the military meeting were the pirate leaders of the Matsuura Party and Kono Tsuyori, the leader of the Kono Party, both of whom were famous pirates in Kyushu.

But when one of them came, one was slain. There were eight ship generals on board one after another, but all of them were assassinated by a team of water ghosts disguised as Japanese samurai.

Basically, the highest command of the pirate coalition fleet, was all decapitated.

In the end, the water ghost clan gave the last flag order according to the plan: prepare for a decisive battle!

After issuing this flag military order, more than 100 water ghost clans took off their Japanese-style armor and swaggered into the sea.

The pirates on the other warships not far away saw more than a hundred water ghosts on the flagship jumping into the sea, and they all said, "Master Ji has sent sea warriors to fight again!" ”

Another pirate said, "Is there really a decisive battle?" That's great! ”

These low-level pirates are all warriors who are brave and have insufficient strategy, they actually want to have a good fight with the Yuan army, where do they know the hard work of Zhuqi Jichang?

ps: Ask for support, the protagonist's first battle is about to start!
