Li Luo led his 8,000 men and horses back to the north overnight, and on June 12, he came to Tsushima Island again.

At this time, Tsushima Island had become a ghost, and the corpses of the Japanese who were slaughtered by the Yuan army were unburied. Li Luo could only camp on the remote coast of the leeward side, and did not dare to go deep into the island, lest the army get sick with "corpse gas".

In total, he had to wait for more than a month on Tsushima. Of course, he couldn't be idle for such a long time, so he simply trained for landing operations on Tsushima Island while having people cut down trees and build siege equipment.

Li Luo also did one thing very despicably. He sent a Goryeo officer of the Ganghwa Naval Division to send a letter back to Goryeo Hepo, asking Goryeo to prepare another 20,000 stone of military rations, 5,000 pairs of armor, 5,000 bows, 5,000 spears, 5,000 straight knives, and 100,000 feathered arrows to Tsushima Island for reserves.

It seems that Li Luo is so bold that he dares to represent the generals of the Eastern Expeditionary Army and ask the rear to replenish military supplies without authorization.

But he didn't do it brutally, but he knew that in the later period, the Eastern Expeditionary Army was wiped out, and Xin Du, Jin Fangqing and others fled back to China in embarrassment, and no one cared about this matter at that time, and no one even found out that Li Luo asked for a batch of supplementary supplies under the pretense of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

What if someone mentions it afterwards? Li Luo can be said to be "public", which is the meaning of Shangluo Gong. He is also for the Eastern Crusade, for the sake of Dayuan, and he didn't swallow it himself, right?

The officials in charge of the subsequent transportation of grain and grass materials in Hepu, Goryeo, originally had the task of replenishing supplies. It's just that they didn't expect that the Crusade Army would send people back to ask for things so soon.

Li Luo just had the mentality of giving it a try, and he really didn't expect others to agree. However, the returning Goryeo officer reported that the quartermaster had agreed, but it would take time to get it together, and it was estimated that it would take a month to send it to Tsushima.

This is not that the Goryeo officials are gullible. But in their subconscious, Tsushima Island was supposed to be a military staging station, and it must have been left behind.

After the occupation of Tsushima, store a batch of reserve military supplies and replenish the front line at any time, this is fine, it is normal. How did they know that the self-righteous and arrogant Xindu did not send people to stay behind in Tsushima?

The treacherous character of Li Luo is reflected here. He used to earn hundreds of millions of dollars, but now he has reached the fourth-grade official position in less than two years, relying on two moves. One move is to "take advantage of the situation", and the other is to "coax".

Thinking that a large number of troops needed to fall into his own hands, Li Luo felt happy in his heart, and he was happy not to want it.

He knew very well that after the hurricane, the 100,000 yuan army remaining on Eagle Island was not only gone, but the commanders were gone, the ships were gone, and even the supplies were lost, and many people even lost their weapons.

Otherwise, how could the 100,000 remnants of the army be easily wiped out by the Japanese army?

Li Luo was doing great things in Tsushima, but the Yuan army on the front line was fighting bloodily.

By June 20, Xindu, who had been waiting for the Jiangnan army for a long time, finally lost patience. He ordered the Eastern Route Army to no longer wait for the Jiangnan Army, but to leave the island of 1 Qi directly, enter Hakata Bay, and attack the main island of Kyushu.

At this time, Kyushu, Japan, was already in full swing.

The general of the defense of Kyushu, the guardian of the two islands in front of the three islands, the western government of Zhenxi, and the acting commander of Dazaifu have gathered 50,000 elite troops, including more than 10,000 samurai royal family members alone!

Moreover, there is a steady stream of ashigaru and samurai from all over the country, including the great samurai Takeki Kicho who is like a folk hero, and Kono Tsuyu, the leader of the Kono Party.

On the west coast of Kyushu, from Imatsu to Kaki, the Japanese spent five years building a stone wall as a "Yuankou fortification", and this "coastal Great Wall" combined with the coastal topography to block the coast like an iron barrel.

Behind the "Yuankou Fortification" were 50,000 heavily armed Japanese troops.

Japan's strategic intention was to rely on the "Great Wall of the Coast" to firmly guard the coast, prevent the Yuan army from landing, and let the Yuan army float on the sea all the time. As long as the Yuan army cannot land, it will not be able to give full play to its advantages.

At the same time, Emperor Uta and ministers of Kyoto, as well as important ministers of the shogunate, prayed to the gods and prayed that the "eight million gods" would protect Yamato and send the damned Motoko into the sea.

Tokimune, the shogunate's ruler, ordered all of them to mobilize and prepare for war. On the one hand, he sent his younger brother Hojo Soyori to preside over the defense of the west bank of Honshu, and on the other hand, he appointed Hojo Minimasu as the general of Jinsai to preside over the overall situation of Kyushu.

More importantly, Hojo Tokimune also appointed Mikawa Guardian Utsunomiya Sadatsuna as the general of the reinforcements, commanding 60,000 cavalry in Shikoku, China, and Kanto, and going south to support Kyushu.

This was not the end, the shogunate also mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Rokupola region and the Kansai region as reinforcements for the second wave.

The entire country of Japan has mobilized more than 200,000 elites!

Located in the Dazaifu (Western Capital) of Chikuzen Province, in front of Suzaku Street, the young master who is also the deputy of Dazai Daiji (deputy left behind in the Western Capital) is presiding over the Kyushu Military Conference.

Dazaifu is the western capital of Japan, second only to Kyoto and Nara. The Dazaifu Council Office is the official office of the supreme governor of Kyushu, the Dazaifu Authority.

Legally, the real Western Capital is Dazaishasha, but it is generally led by the prince Haruka who is far away in Kyoto, so Dazai Quan Shuai (acting Dazai Shuai) is the actual Western Capital Guard.

However, since the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate, the Dazai Commander has gradually become a vacant position, and has become led by a major minister of the shogunate. In fact, the western capital stayed behind, and became Dazai Daji (deputy power marshal) again.

Therefore, the young two who are also the second of Dazai, that is, the current western capital, are left behind. Before the arrival of the Great Shogun Hojo Shimasa of Jinsai, he was the supreme military and political governor of the entire Kyushu.

Moreover, according to the unwritten rules of Japan, even if the general of Zhensai, Hojo Shimasa, came, he would only be the nominal supreme leader, and the actual supreme commander would still be a young man.

At this time, the council hall was full of great samurai with helmets and armor, who were either the guardians of various countries or high-ranking royal families. They all looked solemn, kneeling on the couch, their backs straight, and looked at the young man wearing gorgeous armor on the main seat of the head of the world.

"The Yuankou warship is like a mountain, the momentum is violent, the survival of Kyushu is in this battle, and the rise and fall of the kingdom of God is in this battle! Dazaifu is an important town in Kyushu, only ten miles from the sea, and it is the place where the Yuan Kou must fight. If Yuankou lands, the western capital is in danger! ”

Shao Erjing said in a deep voice, the folding fan in his hand was suddenly closed, and he slapped it in the palm of his hand. Tightly, it opened with a "bang".

Sitting in the deputy seat, the town of Xidong pursued Otomo Naitai and said: "What Your Excellency Shao Er said is extremely true, now that the national disaster is at the head, the demonic atmosphere is noisy, the Shenguo Society is in danger of exhaustion, and the Yamato country is in danger of falling, it is the time for my generation to serve the country in seven lives and be loyal to the Festival of Death!" ”

The Higo guarding Anda Shengzong below, stood up violently, and slashed down with a folding fan in his hand, "Your Excellency Shaoji, I am willing to personally lead the Higo samurai to guard Hirado and Shiga, there is no stone wall there, and once the tide falls, it can go straight to the coast of Kyushu, which is the weak point of our army." ”

Shao Er's nodding: "Hirado and Shiga do need to be guarded. However, Anda-kun, we can't fight hard with Yuankou, and at a critical juncture, we can retreat to the south shore of Hakata Bay, as long as we don't let Yuankou go ashore, it will be a great achievement. ”

"Hey!" Anda Shengzong received the order, strode out of the official hall, and dispatched the troops and horses of the station.

Anda Shengzong's subordinate, Higo Imperial Family Takeki Ji Chang also stood up and said: "The subordinate general will lead the Higo sailors to form a fast fleet to harass the Yuan army fleet and prevent Yuan Kou Ansheng from attacking the stone fortress. ”

Shao Erjing said: "The courage of Zhuqi Jun is famous in Kyushu, and no one in the world knows it!" I heard that the great pirates of the Matsuura family also had a good relationship with Takeki-kun, so I asked Takeki-kun to show off their skills. On this sea, please leave it to Takeki-kun! ”

Takeki Jichang, who has a slender figure and stands out among the Japanese, folded the fan in his hand and said, "Hey! In the next will be determined to bury thousands of miles of waves, the corpse to feed the Baqi snake, and swear to fight with Yuan Kou to the end! ”

When Zhuqi Ji grew out, Shao Er Jingzi said: "The sect monarch of Tsushima Island must have been killed." The Central Plains is related to Yun Chang, Yue Wumu and other good men, and my kingdom of God will not lose half of it! The cabinet has drawn up a fold to the Kyoto Imperial Court, asking the Imperial Court to posthumously seal the Emperor from the three, the name of the beauty, and the soul to return to the Ise Jingu. ”

"If you don't let the monarch be in front of you, this pavilion will definitely take care of the monarch's name! If this pavilion dies in battle before the kings, the honor and disgrace after this death will be entrusted to the kings. ”

The great samurai present nodded together and said, "Hey! ”

Shimazu Kusu, the guardian of Satsuma Country, stood up and said, "Your Excellency the General General, is the Sailor Division under the Lower Command going to be idle in the Western Capital Shuicheng Military Port?" Seeing that the army is fighting bloodily, but the navy is hiding in the water city, it is not like words. ”

Shao Erjing pointed to Shimazu's long-standing folding fan and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Shimazu, what is written on your folding fan?" ”

When everyone saw it, Shimazu's long-standing folding fan was a word for forbearance.

Shimazu said with a wry smile: "What the general reminds is that he is eager to fight." Before the offensive and defensive transposition, the main force of the sailor division must not be lightly released. ”

The navy of the Satsuma clan was the main force of the Kyushu navy, and it was used as a killer weapon to counterattack the Motoko. Now it can only be hidden in the water city outside the Western Capital and Ohno City, and it can't be consumed by Yuan Kou.

Therefore, the 10,000 naval troops of the Satsuma Domain have not yet been counted among the 50,000 Japanese troops defending the shore. If you add Shimazu's long-standing 10,000 naval divisions, as well as the Matsuura family's pirate navy, and other pirates, in fact, the total strength of the Japanese army in Kyushu has exceeded 70,000.

"The dragon temple is clear, and the dragon temple is in season!" Shao Er experienced and shouted.

"The humble minister is here!" Two muscular samurai stood up together. The brothers of Ryuzoji Temple are members of the Hizen Imperial Family. Since the guardian of the Hizen country is the Shao Er Economy, the two of them are also the retainers of the Young Er Economy.

"You and the other two have to firmly defend the fifth stage of the stone fortress, that must be the strongest attack of Yuan Kou!"

"Hey!"

Shao Erjingzi stood up, "All the gentlemen immediately return to their respective combat positions and guard against death!" As long as we wait for His Excellency Utsunomiya Sadazuna's 60,000 Liudi horse cavalry, it will be time for us to counterattack! ”

"Hey!"

All the generals received the order in unison, and rushed out of the council hall one after another, hurried out of the city, and rushed to the stone-walled fortress a few miles to the west. A new round of Yuankou's attack should start soon.

As the general of the defense of Kyushu, of course, Shao Erjing will not sit in the official hall and wait. He also hurried to the front line with a large group of personal guard warriors, preparing to supervise the defensive battle of the entire coastal Great Wall.

…………

Not long after the Japanese generals returned to their former enemy camps, the Yuan army really launched the third landing operation.

Not surprisingly, it was still the Goryeo army that took the lead, while the Mongol and Tanmachi armies were only responsible for firing arrows in the rear.

Although the Great Wall of the Japanese Army was not high, only a foot high, it was extremely strong. And the location is also higher than the beach, which completely gives the Japanese army a condescending geographical advantage with a stone wall defense.

On the other hand, the Yuan army not only could not line up on the narrow beach, let alone spread out, and the terrain was extremely unfavorable, and it was almost blocked by the Japanese army in the sea and could not get to the shore.

And the stone cannons, the long-range attack weapons on the warships of the Yuan army, were also idle due to the lack of stone shells. The primitive artillery equipped on the warships of the Yuan army was very quiet when fired, but it did not have much lethality, and it could not blast the Japanese stone fortress at all.

However, the Japanese army was able to hide behind the stone wall, blast out a rain of arrows at close range, and stab the Yuan army climbing over the stone wall with a dense forest of spears.

This is the third landing battle of the Yuan army in a few days, the first two were bloody battles for half a day, completely filled with human lives, but they have never been able to capture the stone wall, but left thousands of corpses.

Although the total strength of the Yuan army was superior, because it was difficult to go ashore, more than half of the men and horses were idle on the ship, and it was impossible to fully invest the troops, so that in the local battlefield space of the two sides' attack and defense, the troops were at a disadvantage.

The local forces are inferior, or the attacking side, the defending enemy still has stone walls, how can this battle be fought?

During this time, the Yuan army looked for a suitable landing site everywhere, but found that there were stone-walled fortresses everywhere, and there were elite Japanese defenses everywhere, just like a dog eating a hedgehog, and it couldn't find a place to put its mouth at all.

The army can't get ashore, and the horses of the Mongol army and the Tanma Red Army are waste, and there is no use for fart. The Yuan army was unable to give full play to the advantages of cavalry and the advantages of large corps in cluster operations, and it was really discouraged that it could not take advantage of the slightest advantage.

At this time, the previous scene was played out on both sides of the stone wall again.

The Goryeo soldiers who took the lead rushed to the stone wall under the pressure of the generals, and the archers of various tribes behind also desperately output a rain of arrows. The defending Japanese troops also desperately released arrows, and the spearmen tirelessly stabbed out their spears.

Not only feathered arrows and spears, but also countless wooden guns, bamboo guns, and stones flew out from behind the stone wall, raining down like drops, and the Goryeo soldiers who attacked the wall screamed.

"Kill the chicken and give it!"

"Kill!"

"Poof......

"Ah......h

The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of bows and arrows, the sound of swords and guns, and the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh, the sound of war drums, and the sound of screams and wails all resounded together, and the sound shook the sea and the sky, and it was extremely tragic.

Miles of narrow beaches were littered with dead bodies, rivers of blood, and red sand. Many people were shot in the face without protection, and many were stabbed to death by spears.

The Goryeo army was mainly equipped with leather armor, and only officers above the rank of commander were equipped with iron armor. Leather armor is not bad at defending against bows and slashes, but it is difficult to defend against spears and spears at close range.

As this wave of assault was again futile, with huge casualties, the demoralized Goryeo army could no longer bear to retreat, leaving behind corpses and wailing wounded.

Xin Du on the ship watched the Goryeo army retreat again, and couldn't help but be furious: "Coward! Koreans, what cowards! They gave their courage to their enemies! ”

The Mongol and Semu generals next to him did not speak, they thought that the Goryeo army was fighting like this, in fact, it was not bad. After all, such a battle is too difficult to fight.

"The heroic Xindu Batu, I Jikeli thinks, can't fight like this." A Mongol general spoke.

Other Mongol generals also suggested withdrawing their troops and returning to the ship first.

Xindu's big cake face is difficult to see. His wolf-like eyes stared at the cheering Japanese on the shore, and suddenly drew a feather arrow, which snapped with a "click", and said: "I, my son is only a pound of Xindu, and swear to my Sulu ingot battle banner that if I ascend this land, I will stain it red with the blood of the owner of this land." ”

Xin Du made a terrible oath and unwillingly ordered: "Withdraw the army!" ”

The military order to withdraw was issued, and Kim Fangqing, who was on the flagship of Goryeo, breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he was distressed and angry in his heart.

During this time, including today, the Goryeo army has suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. These are all elite soldiers of Goryeo! didn't even board Kyushu, just folded on the beach, how could Jin Fangqing not be heartbroken?

Angry, Xin Du completely used the Goryeo soldiers as cannon fodder, and was so stubborn and self-serving.

Even if such a stone wall can really be broken, how many lives of Goryeo soldiers will be needed in exchange? No, he must stop Xindu's reckless behavior. He is the commander of the Goryeo Army, and he can't let Xin Du ignore it like this!

What Jin Fangqing didn't know was that although the Goryeo army suffered heavy casualties, the Japanese army behind the stone wall was definitely not easy.

In particular, the dense and strong arrow rain of the Yuan army caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese army in the past few days.

When the latest casualty figures were reported to the battalion of Shao Er's capital, Shao Er's capital also frowned bitterly.

There have been six or seven thousand casualties!

Samurai with the status of the imperial family alone died in battle, and more than 1,000 people were killed in battle.

In other words, the losses of the Kyushu army exceeded one percent!
