The important officials of the castle tower and the samurai all had a preliminary evaluation of the team in front of them. They are very disciplined, move quickly, and are logistically well restocked. Everyone can see that this is a tough opponent.

Just as these people were about to leave the castle tower, someone noticed a small group of people running quickly in the direction of the castle tower. Abe Tadaaki said, "It may be the messenger sent by the pirate. I guess you'd like to hear what he has to say, right? “

The others smiled and nodded, and Abe Tadaaki ordered a samurai to lead a small group of Ashigaru out of the castle to greet them. The two men met outside the city and soon parted ways and returned. Soon after, the warrior walked up to the wall, bowed with a letter in his hands, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a letter sent by the other party. ”

Abe Tadaaki's result letter was opened and he smiled when he saw it. And showed the contents of the letter to those around him. The letter was very simple, with only a few large characters. It reads: "Decisive battle in the day after tomorrow!" ”

The other ministers also laughed when they saw it. Horita said, "It seems that this pirate has a lot of confidence in his people!" I hope that his people are used to walking on the sea, and they can stand firm when they walk on land! ”

Horita's witty remarks sparked an even bigger burst of laughter. Abe Tadaaki also smiled and said, "Everyone, let's go and meet the general together." ”

The crowd asked to see Tokugawa Iemitsu. Tokugawa Iemitsu soon received them. He asked with a flat expression, "So, have you discovered anything?" ”

They told Tokugawa Iemitsu what they had seen and analyzed it in detail. These people have followed the Tokugawa family for many years, and they still have vision. From the clues of the opponent's army, they can deduce that this army is a very effective team.

Tokugawa Iemitsu listened slowly, his expression becoming more and more serious, and he slowly fell into deep thought. When the people saw Tokugawa Iemitsu thinking, they knelt down and said no more.

After half a ring, Tokugawa Iemitsu said slowly: "Gentlemen, please be sure to warn the samurai below that the other party's team is a very elite team!" Although we are several times more powerful than them, but I

We may not be able to win it all! Think carefully about the Korean Campaign in previous years! ”

Everyone listened to this, and their hearts sank! The Korean War is an eternal pain in the hearts of the Japanese people! In the early days of the campaign, the Japanese were overwhelmed, beating the Koreans to crying fathers and mothers! But when the Ming army appeared, the tide of the battle took a sharp turn. This made them deeply aware of the strength of the Ming Kingdom!

And now Tokugawa Iemitsu is using the Korean campaign to remind everyone that he seems to have a great deal of importance for these enemies on the other side. So everyone didn't dare to be careless, and everyone leaned over and answered, "Hai! ”

At this time, Liu Pei was not as serious as Tokugawa Iemitsu. He was in the camp enjoying a post-landing dinner with the officers. Truth be told, the dinner wasn't hearty at all. Except for some vegetables that were snatched from the Japanese people, there was basically nothing to eat. It's all shelf-stable canned food, bacon and smoked chicken. Bacon and stuff like that.

Because Liu Pei's funds have been completely cut off, there is no way to purchase fresh things. So you can only use what you have in the warehouse to top it. However, all of you are soldiers, and they don't care much about the taste of things, they only care about whether they can eat enough and have enough meat.

After everyone finished eating, Liu Pei slapped his face, motioned for everyone to look over, and then said, "The day after tomorrow, we will have a decisive battle with the Japanese people!" According to intelligence, there are probably more than 40,000 Japanese people, close to 50,000! Almost ten times our strength! But tell the soldiers not to be nervous, these Japanese weapons are not much stronger than the natives of Taiwan! ”

The officers laughed. Everyone knows that the actual situation is certainly not as simple as Liu Pei said. Moreover, everyone also knew about the situation of the Japanese army in advance. So everyone understands that Liu Pei is joking.

But in the same way, they also know that some of Liu Pei's words are true. That is, the proportion of firearms in the Japanese army is not high, especially since they do not have artillery! That's a key difference! As Liu Pei said, artillery is the god of war! With the help of the gods, what are you afraid of?

Liu Pei continued: "Okay, don't think about it so much. Have a good rest today and tomorrow, and save enough energy. Wait until we defeat the Wa

Man, I'll treat you all to a good meal again! ”

The officers applauded! The inside of the barracks is not like a barracks, but like a cottage hall where you sit on the ground and share the spoils! However, the morale of the army was completely uplifted by Liu Peiyi!

The camp had been set up, and the soldiers who had disembarked from the boat began to rest comfortably in the camp. But the officers were not as comfortable as the soldiers. They have to count the materials, inspect the site, calculate the distance, make a plan...... and hit the back of the head with their busy feet!

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the camp became quiet. Except for the sentinels guarding the fire outside the camp, everyone began to rest in earnest. Because tomorrow there will be nearly ten times as many enemies to deal with, and it will take a lot of effort!

As soon as the third day dawned, the trumpet sounded over the castle tower. The gates of the castle tower opened, and a large number of troops poured out from the gates of the castle tower and the barracks outside the castle tower, gathering together. A sea of people was formed.

One by one, the samurai wore majestic armor and held swords, looking incredible! Soldiers of different daimyo wore various costumes and gathered into small phalanxes. The back flag on Ashigaru's back flutters in the wind, and it looks very majestic.

Just as the Japanese began to assemble, there was no movement in Liu Pei's camp. However, the Japanese people were not in a hurry, but slowly sorted out the team. These Japanese armies came from different daimyo, and now that they were going to war, they naturally wanted to be united. Under the command of the samurai, the small phalanx slowly converged, and finally converged into nine large phalanxes.

Tokugawa Iemitsu did not wear armor today, and he stood on the castle tower with a group of important ministers in his regular clothes. He looked at the assembled army and was very satisfied! Especially when he saw the general Masakatsu Horita gradually integrate the team, he was even more satisfied! Looking at the mighty military formation, he even believed that today he was the destined victor.

Just as the Japanese were about to finish sorting out the team, the gate of Liu Pei's camp finally opened, and the soldiers walked out of the camp gate with neat steps and singing. Their morale also attracted the attention of Tokugawa Iemitsu. Tokugawa Iemitsu also smiled and said, "It seems that the morale of these people is very high!" ”
