There were as many as 10,000 Goryeo troops who landed in Puqiu, the head of the Ten Thousand Households, and there was no need to send expensive heavy cavalry. The reason why he played this trump card as soon as he came up was to take this opportunity to polish the heavy cavalry.

To the sound of war drums, 800 Goryeo heavy horses, each with spears, like an iron wall, rumbled towards the Japanese army on the opposite side.

The Goryeo infantry was also divided into two teams, one with 3,000 archers and the other with 5,000 gunners. Three thousand archers were drawn in the rear, and five thousand spearmen were in close behind, trotting forward in a hurry.

Almost all of the tens of thousands of troops moved, and it turned out to be a lion fighting a rabbit, wanting to do everything with one blow.

Zong Shengming only had less than 4,000 people, most of them were still peasant soldiers without any protection or even iron soldiers, and the army formation did not have a large shield and spear to protect the cavalry, how could he resist the thunderous Goryeo army?

Moreover, the Goryeo Army is a group operation, and the front is still the heavy cavalry with the strongest protection, how to carry out a "one-horse fight"?

"Kill the chicken and give it!" Zong Shengming, who had no experience in group command, could only wave the sword sadly, and took the lead in rushing towards the Goryeo army.

"Seven lives to serve the country! Slam the block! Zong Shengming's only one hundred horsemen also brandished their swords and rushed forward.

"Seven lives to serve the country! See you in the Yellow Spring! Three or four hundred samurai shouted hysterically and pounced.

Ironically, although there were thousands of ashigaru and peasant soldiers shouting to follow, there were still more than 2,000 people with pale faces poked in place.

"Nani?! Yaga! As soon as Zong Shengming rode his horse and rushed out of the seven or eight feet, he felt that the movement behind him was too small, and he couldn't help but look back and saw that there were still more than 2,000 people who had not followed.

Zong Shengming's face was suddenly difficult to see.

Originally, as long as a few thousand people died here, his goal would be achieved. When Yuan Kou saw that even the people of the Kingdom of God were desperate, their belief in occupying and ruling the Kingdom of God would definitely be shaken.

But now, at a critical juncture, this group of damned red deer is greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are holding back!

In this way, the sacrifice of the samurai is completely worthless. And when Yuan Kou saw that the people were afraid, he was more confident to occupy the kingdom of God.

Zong Shengming felt a hot patch on his face. This man, who was ready to die generously, fainted with shame. At this moment, he hated the people who were afraid of them even more than the enemies in front of him.

If I knew this, I should have lined up honestly and defended with all my might. At least it won't be so ugly.

Zong Shengming hated the peasants and soldiers who were stagnant, but the peasants were also extremely bitter in their hearts.

We are only peasants, we don't have armor and iron tools, we don't usually see the samurai lands levy a grain of grain, the samurai never reward us when they drink wine and eat meat, and the Dazaifu and the shogunate don't care about our life or death, and force us to die, why?

When the samurai die, they will die and die with honor, and there will be shrines to worship. What about us farmers? Evil gods don't remember us, do they?

At the next moment when Zong Shengming was furious, the peasant soldiers did not know who shouted, as if they were "fleeing", and then, more than 2,000 peasant soldiers were like bombing the camp, and the birds and beasts scattered with a "boom", spreading their legs and fleeing for their lives.

This is just a matter of an eye, and in fact, Zong Shengming can't be allowed to think about it too much.

"Shoot the arrows!" After the Goryeo army formation, a murderous voice was heard. Immediately after, there was a loud "buzz" sound, which was the sound of thousands of bows and arrows firing at the same time.

Before the samurai could collide with the mounted heavy cavalry, a rain of arrows poured down from the Goryeo army.

Three thousand feathered arrows fell from the sky, instantly covering more than a thousand Japanese troops. Although most of the Japanese troops who rushed up had armor, they were all light armor and leather armor, and they were not equipped with shields, how could they resist the dense rain of arrows?

Just listen to the sound of "poof, puff, puff", and hundreds of samurai and ashigaru people flipped on their backs. An arrow in the eye of a war horse neighed, and its body jerked in pain, throwing the samurai on horseback into the saf.

The already thin Japanese charging team suddenly became more sparse. Zong Shengming's armor had a feather arrow inserted in it, but it was not actually injured.

"Kill the chicken and give it! Slam the block! This man's crazy dancing knife slapping the horse, squeaking and screaming, against the four flags behind him, and the exaggerated helmet, vividly interpret the demeanor of the hero of the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, with a "boom", the heavy cavalry had already collided with Zong Shengming's team.

At the next moment when the two armies collided, hundreds of samurai and ashigaru were knocked into the air, pierced by spears, and the thin and sparse ranks were torn apart like a piece of paper.

However, the brave Zong Shengming is the hero after all, and at the same time that his mount was about to collide with the mounted heavy horse on the opposite side, he suddenly jumped up from his horse and pounced on the opposite Goryeo knight, and the cold and shining sword stabbed the Goryeo knight's unprotected eyes.

Strike a decisive blow and die together!

One Horse Battle! Well done! Zong Shengming's whole body was boiling, as if he was possessed by gods and demons.

The Goryeo knight was covered in iron armor, his reaction was very slow, and the spear in his hand didn't have time to adjust the direction to attack, and he couldn't imagine Zong Shengming to play like this.

Hearing a "poof", at the same time a miserable scream came, Zong Shengming's sword pierced into the bare eyes of the Goryeo knight, piercing the opponent's entire head. And Zong Shengming himself actually jumped on the other party's horse.

Sensing the pleasure of the blade drinking the blood and brains of the enemy, Zong Shengming was excited, but before he could pull out the sword, his body suddenly flew up.

A Goryeo heavily mounted spear blasted through his armor and pierced into his powerful heart, the brutal force of the horse's speed lifting him into the air.

Zong Shengming screamed miserably, the knife was taken off, and his body fell to the ground. He didn't even have time to glance at the Goryeo heavy cavalry that had killed him before he sank into the boundless darkness. In the blink of an eye, his body was trampled by the roaring hooves of the horse.

The male protagonist of the battlefield has finally come to an end.

There are not a few samurai like Zong Shengming who are determined to "fight with one horse", and they also bring a limited number of casualties to the Goryeo heavy cavalry.

The situation on this battlefield is, after all, a one-sided slaughter.

As the Goryeo Infantry Brigade stepped forward to encircle and suppress, the remaining hundreds of Japanese troops were all annihilated in a blink of an eye.

The bloody battlefield was littered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers and tattered flags.

The casualties of the Goryeo army were only a few mounted cavalry.

When two armies fight each other, it is often the side with the greater numbers and the fewer deaths. The side with fewer people tends to die more. Especially when the stragglers are fighting, because there are many people, they can besiege one by several, and the resulting battle loss rate is of course outrageous.

That's where the military formation comes in. A good general can use the military formation to make up for the disadvantage of troops, try to make more of his own attacking troops, and try to make more enemy soldiers who cannot output an attack idle.

When fighting against the enemy, only part of the troops are exporting attacks, and the soldiers in front are fighting bloodily, while the soldiers in the back are unable to intervene, and they are idle there and cannot effectively engage the enemy, so they simply fight into a refueling tactic.

Therefore, even if the force is at an absolute disadvantage, it is necessary to ensure the superiority of local forces.

If Zong Shengming gathered more than 1,000 battle teams into a tightly defended hollow array, although the entire army would eventually be wiped out, the casualties brought to the Goryeo army would definitely not be few.

In the eyes of the Yuan army, this first battle of the Japanese army is really not presentable, the enemy army is too weak. In particular, more than half of the enemy army actually fled, which made the powerful Yuan army full of confidence.

If Zong Shengming knew that his "enemy tactics" had brought about the opposite effect, he would probably come back to life in anger.

At this time, the more than 2,000 peasant soldiers who had dispersed in a hurry before fled and could not even see their shadows.

The various units of the Yuan army also organized landings one after another. The last to land were the Mongol cavalry and Xindu.

"Dashuai, the Japanese army on this island has been completely annihilated, but there are still some peasants who have fled." Jin Fangqing reported to Xin Duyu in blunt Mongolian.

"Warriors never let down their scimitars and idle their bows and arrows because of the cowardice and incompetence of their enemies. Jin Shuai, let the Goryeo warriors clean up all the Japanese people on the island. Xin Du said coldly.

This is to be slaughtered, which is the usual practice of the Mongol generals.

With the issuance of Xindu's military order, the Yuan army went deep into the island and searched and killed the islanders everywhere.

Men and women, old and weak, as long as they see it, they are not spared.

The brutal massacre lasted until dusk, and the vast majority of the tens of thousands of people on the island became ghosts of the Yuan army. The person who ran away before will also die after all.

When Li Luo saw the village that had become a hell on earth, he didn't feel anything in his heart.

This is just the beginning. There will be many more deaths, many, many more.

Seeing the smug looks of the generals of the Yuan army, Li Luo also secretly despised it. Hmph, do you think Japan is really a soft persimmon? There is what you will receive later. When the elite Japanese troops in Kyushu are gathered, no matter how good your teeth are, you won't be able to swallow them.

Li Luo made up his mind not to follow the main force of the Yuan army to attack the seaside stone wall that was waiting for him, it was a waste of his own troops.

If you want to fight, let Xin Du and Jin Fangqing fight. He is just a four-grade protector and does not participate.

As for the reason for leading the army to leave and watch the play to the side, he had already thought about it.

Tsushima Island was a material transit point for the Yuan army's conquest of Japan, and it should have been guarded by troops. However, during the previous military discussion, Xindu refused to divide his troops to defend Tsushima Island.

Xindu's reason was that the Japanese army would not share their precious forces and return to Tsushima. Even if they come, there will not be many troops, and the Yuan army can recapture it at any time.

Jin Fangqing persuaded: "Marshal, this pair of Falklands can be used to hoard domestic follow-up military supplies and replenish the front at any time, how can you not defend it?" ”

Xin Du sneered: "The military supplies of the Japanese are the military supplies of the Dayuan warriors, and the military supplies we bring are enough." Even if it's not enough, the Japanese have it. ”

The Goryeo generals looked at each other, but did not persuade again.

Of course, Li Luo will not persuade. Even if you want to persuade, you don't have the qualifications to speak.

Isn't it always the case that the Mongol army fights? They constantly seized the enemy's munitions, and they didn't care about what grain and grass were transported. This is due to the tactics of feeding the enemy, which also makes them extremely mobile and have a low dependence on logistics.

As long as there are people, the Mongol army is not afraid of going without food.

The Yuan army repaired on Tsushima Island for two days, let the war horses eat a lot of grass, and then set sail south, leaving behind Tsushima Island, which had become a ghost.

On June 9, the Yuan army captured 1 Qi Island.

1 Qi Island is smaller, with a smaller population and troops. In just half a day, he was slaughtered by the Yuan army.

The capture of 1 Qi means that the Yuan army has reached the gate of Japan. Separated by dozens of miles of the 1 Strait is the Kyushu mainland.

However, the Yuan army did not continue south, but stayed at 1 Qi Island. Because, according to the established strategy, the Eastern Route Army was to wait for the Jiangnan Army on 1 Qi Island, and after the two armies met, they would attack Dazaifu in Kyushu.

According to the plan, the Jiangnan Army will come in a few days.

But only Li Luo knew that the Jiangnan Army would not be able to come at all for a while and a half, because of one reason or another, the Jiangnan Army would not be able to come to join the division until July.

Next, Xindu, who was anxious, would lead the Eastern Route Army to attack the coast of Kyushu alone, but his head was broken under the stone wall by the sea, and he couldn't land, and he floated on the sea for nearly a month.

When the Jiangnan army arrived late and the two armies met, there was still no way to take the seaside stone fort. The Yuan army was unable to go ashore for a long time, and it could not give full play to the advantages of the cavalry group at all.

It took until August 1, but I waited for the hurricane.

Therefore, in order not to be cannon fodder, Li Luo had to lead his troops to do it alone.

In the evening, after the military meeting of the Goryeo battalion, Li Luo stayed alone, and he wanted to persuade Kim Kwang-kyeong.

"Shang Luo Gong, the younger generation has a word, don't vomit or be unhappy, please Shang Luo Gong for advice." There were no other generals present, and Li Luo directly called the "Shangluo Gong" who brought the relationship closer.

Jin Fangqing said lightly: "You say come and listen." ”

Li Luo said solemnly: "Our army is so powerful, the Japanese army will definitely be vulnerable. It's just that the younger generation thinks that in the south of Kyushu, there may be Japanese sailors who copy the back road of our army. What if the Japanese naval division occupied Tsushima and cut off our army from the country? ”

When Jin Fangqing heard this, he couldn't help but pay attention to the possibility of what Li Luo said.

The Japanese naval division in Kyushu is not weak, but so far, no Japanese naval division has been found. Who can be sure that the Japanese naval division has no intention of copying the back road of the Yuan army?

Although Xindu despises logistics supply, it does not mean that Jin Fangqing also despises logistics supply. Especially in naval warfare, if the landing is not possible for a while, the supplies are exhausted, and the supply sea route is cut off, then the army is in danger.

However, Xin Du refused to divide his troops to guard Tsushima Island, which made Jin Fangqing very helpless. Without defending Tsushima, it was easier for the Japanese sailors to cut off logistical supplies.

"You go on." Kim Fang Qingdao.

Li Luo frowned and said: "Marshal Xindu doesn't care about sea supplies, presumably he thinks that he can attack Kyushu quickly." But what if the Japanese army is heavily defended, it is unable to land for a long time, and the supplies are not replenished? Therefore, the younger generation thinks that Tsushima must be guarded. ”

Jin Fangqing couldn't help but nodded, how could he not know the importance of Tsushima Island? If the Japanese naval division went around to the rear and occupied Tsushima Island, and the Yuan army could not land in Kyushu for a while, it would be very bad.

It's just that Xin Du is the commander-in-chief, and he is stubborn and self-serving, he refuses to occupy Tsushima, and Jin Fangqing can't refute it.

Li Luoyou continued: "There is one more thing, but we Koreans say it behind closed doors, and the younger generation does not dare to spread it to the ears of the Mongolian generals. Shangluogong, if the Japanese naval division occupies Tsushima, regardless of Kyushu, but comes out with the tactics of encircling Wei to save Zhao, how about attacking my Goryeo? ”

Jin Fangqing was shocked.

What Li Luo said, it's not impossible.

Now that the elite of the Goryeo naval division is exhausted, and half of the elite horse infantry is also marching eastward, whether it is coastal or domestic, the troops are very empty. What if the Japanese naval division came out to besiege Wei to save Zhao and attack Goryeo?

The Japanese may do so, even if it is out of revenge.

Then, Tsushima Island must be defended! Don't have to defend, the number of troops must not be less.

Li Luo can think of this, which shows that he is not a straw bag, and he also cares about Goryeo.

In the end, it is a Goryeo, unlike the Mongols, who don't care whether Goryeo lives or dies at all.

"Li Luo, are you willing to guard Tsushima?" Jin Fangqing asked suddenly. He felt that Li Luo was quite reliable, and the troops under his command were not small, and it should be okay to guard Tsushima.

Besides, Jin Fangqing didn't want Li Luo to take risks in Kyushu, in case he died in battle, he would not be able to explain to his in-law Li, and even the queen would be unhappy.

Li Luo is not only Li Jian's nephew, but also a "post-party".

Then simply transfer him to the rear, guard Tsushima, and guard against the Japanese naval division, which is safer than fighting a landing battle in Kyushu.

"Me?" Li Luo looked surprised, and then said with a wry smile: "Shangluo Gong has an order, and the juniors will naturally obey it." It's just that you still need to convince Xin Du Dashuai. ”

Jin Fangqing smiled: "What's so difficult about this? The old man is the commander of the Goryeo Army, and in the name of searching for and containing the Japanese naval division, he will transfer you away from the main camp. Since you led your troops back to Tsushima Island, how did the marshal of Xindu know that you had gone to Tsushima with a four-grade Yu Hou? ”

Li Luo "suddenly realized", arched his hand and smiled: "Sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy, Shangluo Gong has a clever plan, and the younger generation has taken it." ”

Jin Fangqing said indifferently: "This is just a perfunctory strategy in desperation, what a clever plan, it's funny." The matter was settled. The old man issued a military order to let you search for the traces of the Japanese sailors. Now you are ready to lead the team back. ”

"Li Luo obeys!" Li Luo saluted Jin Fangqing, and then said with a concerned face: "Shangluo Gong is very old, and he has to saddle a horse to conquer the Japanese country, please take care of Shangluo Gong." The younger generation also wants to... Listen to the teachings of Shangluo Gong. ”

Jin Fangqing stroked his beard and smiled: "Boy, go by yourself!" Don't be like a child. ”

"Yes." Li Luo bent down and respectfully accepted the order and withdrew.

When Li Luo's back disappeared, Jin Fangqing shook his head slightly, and said to himself: "Smart is smart, but after all, I slipped my head, and I was a little greedy and afraid of death." It's careful, hehe. ”

Li Luo walked out of Jin Fangqing's big tent, and immediately straightened his waist, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In order to prevent long nights and dreams, Li Luo returned to his camp tent and gathered the generals as soon as possible, ready to board the ship and set sail.

As soon as the order was conveyed to the generals, Jin Fangqing's military order arrived. There must be no mistake in dispatching Li Luo's troops to the sea to inspect and search for and contain the Japanese naval division.
