Chapter 1126: Withdrawal
It is conceivable that once the matter is not resolved well, Humang will inevitably be blamed. But at this time, Hu Mang couldn't care so much, because he got accurate information, and he had already begun to negotiate with the envoy of Beiming, and agreed to make a final decision within twenty days at the latest. Now, there are only 17 days left.
Being able to get accurate information, Rong Shao naturally took the initiative to open a hole in the siege, so that a group of people in Shajing City came out, and there were indeed intelligence officers from the Five-Star Army.
As soon as he got the news, Hu Mang called Yu Mian and Yang Si, and the three of them discussed together how to deal with the complex situation that could change at any time.
The three of them first listened to the accounts of the intelligence officers who escaped from Shajing City, and when they learned that their people saw the merchant Rong Shao appear in the mansion of Shebei as the envoy of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and also saw that he was sent out by the other party with a smile, the faces of the three of them became a little ugly.
The one who reacted the most violently was Yang Si, who slapped the table abruptly and scolded loudly, "What do you want to do with this donkey?" Thanks to the young master's trust in him so much, he dared to do things like colluding with foreign enemies and rebelling, which was really intolerable. ”
"Yes, I didn't expect him to be such a person." Yu Mian quickly seconded the proposal, and at the same time looked very angry.
Hu Mang's face was not much better, but he knew better that this was not the key now, once the new Second Army really voted for Beiming, then Shicheng would become the next target, and in the case of complete supply interruption, how to face this complex situation was what he needed to consider. As for the matter of abandoning others, whether it is true or not, naturally the Sixth Young Master will deal with it.
"Two, let's put out the fire first, let's think about our own problems first, once the two cities of Shajing and Jingzhou are acquired by Beiming, they will have no worries, and the next thing is the first city of the army, at that time, do you have any countermeasures?"
Listening to Hu Mang's words, Yang Si replied without hesitation, "Is there anything else to think about?" Of course, the soldiers will block it, our first city is not two cities of manholes, we have heavy troops here, and there are also soldiers and civilians who are united, and they are not afraid of any enemy attack. ”
"Yes. We are not afraid of any enemy, just fight. Yu Mian Yijie scholar seemed to be aroused at this moment, and his voice was like a bell.
"Okay." Hu Mang wants this kind of effect, as long as everyone has the same attitude and cooperates with each other, then nothing can not be done, and there is no enemy that cannot be defeated.
......
Just when the situation on the grassland became very complicated, the war on the battlefield of the Japanese Kingdom was in full swing.
After Yang Chendong gave the order for a general counterattack, more than 200,000 land five-star troops launched a crazy counterattack, and with the cooperation of more than 100,000 troops of Akechi Naganobu and Fukada Valley, they had surpassed the men and horses of the great general Ashikaga Yoshimasa in terms of total strength.
Just because you outnumber your opponent doesn't mean you're sure you'll win. However, the strength of the morale of the army and the strength of its combat effectiveness are indeed enough to show that the balance of victory or defeat in the war has been greatly tilted.
After the army left Heiankyo, it marched straight to the north,
Came to Higashiyama Road, and connected Omi-gun, Mino-gun, Shindo County and other places, and directly suppressed Ashikaga Yoshimasa's men and horses in the Musashi region of Tokaido.
On the sea side, Captain Kuroda's 300,000 naval divisions broke through all the way, although they had an advantage in troops, but in the face of the threat of the powerful artillery of the 4th and 5th naval divisions, they fled all the way, and when the 300,000 naval divisions entered the side of Higashiyama Road, there were only 100,000 people left.
Lost the city all the way on the land, and the 300,000 army was only about 100,000 left, so that the Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who originally had tens of millions of soldiers, now has only 200,000 soldiers, and the reduction of strength makes him worry every day, scolding the arrogance of the five-star army At the same time, he is also ready to give up his homeland and leave the Japanese country.
Compared with the continuous defeat of the Japanese state, the five-star army is like an unstoppable hurricane, everywhere it goes, but anyone who encounters resistance, there is no hesitation, except to kill is to kill. Along the way, I don't know how much blood was stained on my body, and the forces that opposed the Five Star Army in the final attack were all in danger, and most of them had to surrender, and a small number of people fled.
According to the current trend, in three months at most, the entire country will be occupied by the five-star army. In the time of half a year to a year, the population migration and exchange will be carried out, and it will become an inevitable trend for the Japanese to become another province of the Five-Star Army.
But at this time, a telegram suddenly appeared, and at the same time, the 1st Cavalry Division, the New 3rd Army, and the 4th Army Division were transferred back to Heianjing.
As soon as the telegram came out, all the front-line generals who got the news were confused. Seeing that the great victory was ahead, they really didn't know why such an order appeared.
Although it is said that there are more than 300,000 five-star troops in the land army, only the five armies that can really fight are the 4th Army Division, the 7th Army Division, the 1st Cavalry Division of the World, the New Third Army, and the 1st Reserve Division. Others, such as the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Divisions, as well as more than 100,000 miscellaneous Japanese troops, were just picking up leftovers behind these five armies, and many of them were even doing the work of cleaning up the battlefield.
And now, the sudden transfer of three strong armies will inevitably cause all kinds of speculation among the generals.
But no matter what thoughts he had in his heart, this telegram was sent by Yang Chendong himself, and no one dared to disobey it on this basis. After only a moment of amazement, the three armies packed up and stopped advancing. After that, within four hours, he began to turn around and return to Heiankyo from north to south.
This is the military order of the Five-Star Army, once there is an order, no matter what the situation and situation are, it must be obeyed, which is also a point that must be done to become a general of the Yang family.
In the blink of an eye, the three strong armies left, although the total number was not very large, only more than 50,000 people, but it still dealt a big blow to the morale of the army. Tian Ce, the commander of the 7th Division of the Lu Army, who stayed behind, took the initiative to find the commander of the 1st Reserve Division.
is also the division commander, and even the strength of the first reserve division led by Xu Da has reached 30,000, far exceeding the Lu Qi Division, which is less than 10,000, but Xu Da has given Tiance enough respect. Who made the family be the cold front series, equipped with all firearms?
"Heavenly Master, please take a seat." In the face of Tiance's visit, Xu Da did not dare to slack off, and took the initiative to go out of the camp to greet him.
"Master Xu is too polite." Tiance smiled, very satisfied with Xu Da's attitude. Even if the other party was so polite, of course he would not take it, but took the initiative to slow down the pace of progress, and kept in sync with Xu Da as much as possible.
When the other people in the big tent retreated, and when only two people were left, the smiles on their faces couldn't help but converge at this moment,
The five strong armies went to the third, and both of them felt the pressure enormous. Once the situation that was supposed to win had problems because of this, it was the incompetence of the two of them, which had to make the two of them extremely nervous and cautious.
Glancing at each other, it was finally Tiance who spoke first: "Senior Commander Xu, three of the five strong armies have gone, and then the pressure on our shoulders will be much greater." ”
"Yes, but we're not afraid." Xu Da said in a loud voice. "There are 30,000 horses in our first reserve division, and they are all veterans who have experienced life and death on the battlefield, although they are not as elite as Leng Feng, but we have the courage and courage not to be afraid of any opponent and enemy."
"That's a good point." Tiance happily waved his fist into the air. "A soldier should be like this, with indomitable courage, just like the sixth young master said, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, as long as they dare to work hard, heaven and earth can be defeated."
"Hahaha, the words of the Heavenly Master are very appetizing to my old Xu." Xu Da also laughed out loud at this meeting.
Once you get off to a good start, the rest of the conversation is much easier. As the conversation between the two deepened, the two quickly reached a consensus on how to fight the next battle, and military plans were also formulated by the two.
Let's talk about Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who is already preparing to leave Musashi Prefecture. Sitting on the chair with a sad face and sighing, he really couldn't understand why this was obviously his home field, and with an army of nearly one million, it would be defeated by a five-star army of more than 200,000 people.
As a result, the other party's people are fighting more and more, and their own strength is getting weaker and weaker?
What is the reason for this, is it just because the opponent's weapons are strong?
Even now, Ashikaga Yoshimasa doesn't know what it means to win the hearts of the people and win the world, and he thinks that power is a high thing, and as long as he grasps power, he can do whatever he wants. But I don't know who gave the power, and when a person who has power does not make good use of the power to serve the people, it will not be far from the time when he will perish.
Just as he was sighing to himself, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the big tent outside the door, and then a happy Maori Masashi appeared, shouting, "General, good news, good news." ”
"Good news? It's all at this time, what good news is there? Ashikaga Yoshimasa said disapprovingly. In his opinion, the defeat is certain, and he is even going to leave the homeland where he has been living, and he really doesn't know what news can make people happy.
Maori Masanori didn't care so much, he took the information obtained by the front-line scouts, stood in front of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and said excitedly: "General, I just got the information, the Five Star Army has withdrawn." ”
"What?" Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who didn't care about it, also got up suddenly at this moment, staring at him with wide eyes, and he didn't believe it. "You're saying it again."
