Chapter 392: Xia Yingzhou (I)

According to the information from the captives, Zhou Yu ordered all the sailors to go ashore and divide the way to clean up the island of Tsushima.

In the past few days, 20,000 naval soldiers searched Tsushima North Island, defeated a total of 18 tribes, killed more than 3,000 people, and captured nearly 10,000 prisoners. It is a far cry from what the previous captives said.

After the interrogation was conducted again, it was learned that the warriors of all the tribes had gathered together when they had met the tribe before, so many people were besieging the water army camp on the shore. Only then did the previous captives take the opportunity to intimidate.

Zhou Yu didn't care about this, after all, it was hostile, and it was normal to be a little careful.

According to the situation of Tsushima Kitajima, there are about 20,000 people in a small Tsushima Kita Island, and there are probably about this number in Tsushima Nanjima, which is more closely connected with Saikaido. Thus, there were 40,000 men in Tsushima alone.

No matter how remote Tsushima is, and it is located on an island, not a mainland, if there are so many people in other 70 countries, then the total population of Yingzhou is at least 3 million.

20,000 troops versus 3 million?

Although Zhou Yu already knew that the weapons and equipment of the Yingzhou people were too poor, and they could break the number of a school with a single song, or even more, but three million people were really too many, even if someone stood up and asked you to kill, one person would have to kill one hundred and fifty people, not to mention that it was impossible at all. People only need to show the spirit of not being afraid of death, and it is not a problem for dozens of people to fight to the death, at that time, how to take Yingzhou?

After taking the North Island, he has lost 30 people, which seems to be not much, but the total army of this expedition is only more than 20,000. Thirty losses were lost by taking the North Island, another thirty by going south to the South Island, and nearly 100 people were lost in just one Tsushima country, and not thousands of people were lost when more than 70 countries came down?

In addition, if other countries hear the news and take the first step to make preparations, the losses will definitely increase.

Zhou Yu thought about it for a long time and decided to look at the situation again and make a decision.

According to the plan, Zhou Yu first gathered the captives, and then divided the army into two routes, one way with 2,000 men, and stayed on the North Island, according to the news from the captives, to explore the silver mines on the island; On the other hand, more than 18,000 people sailed south to the South Island.

Subsequently, it took another eight days, one day on the road, and less than seven days to clean up the South Island, because the South Island is smaller than the North Island. However, the South Island has more people than the North Island, with twenty tribes totaling nearly 30,000 people. Half of them were killed, the remaining half were captured.

This time the losses were even worse in the North Island, with more than 50 people killed. , because the South Island was prepared, set traps in advance, and shrank defenses,

Zhou Yu decisively gave the order to suspend the march, and then gathered all the women of Tsushima Island, including girls and baby girls, together, leaving 500 as camp prostitutes, and the rest were all boarded and sent back to Liaodong.

This is a desperate plan!

Zhou Yu didn't know why Gongsun Du had such a big hatred for the people of Yingzhou, and he wanted to cut it off, but he still carried it out seriously.

You don't see how many tribes the first emperor destroyed and how many people he killed in order to dominate the world.

During the time when the ship returned to Liaodong, Zhou Yu did not rest, and before the ship arrived again, more than ten silver mines had been explored, and Yingzhou people were miners and began mining (how many silver mines are actually there, don't be serious, I can't find information on this.) It's hard to find a map of Yingzhou, and now I'm using a map of Yingzhou in the shogunate era, forgive me! )

In the past month, the ship returned, bringing with it a new order from Gongsun Du, as well as ......

After receiving the new order, Zhou Yu immediately left two people, one on the north and south islands, and the rest of the people boarded the ship and headed for the two countries of Itqi and Hizen in the south.

At this time, the number of ships was nearly double that of the last time, and there were more than 100 ships. When it arrived at its Qi country, the sails that covered the sky and the sun frightened it into almost fleeing directly.

It is smaller than Tsushima, and even about the same size as Tsushima Island. In front of the infantry army led by Chu Yan, not fleeing was actually the biggest mistake of the king of Qi State.

The infantry army led by Chu Yan should actually be regarded as a mountain army. Since the surrender of Chu Yan, under the leadership of Chu Yan, they have been training in Shoushan, Qianshan, and Gaima Mountains for several years.

Therefore, in just three days, it fell under Chu Yan.

Although it is a small country and a weak people, it is not because the army led by Chu Yan is more suitable for fighting in this environment.

The mountain army led by Chu Yan is probably the first infantry army in history that is truly epoch-making.

Subsequently, it was like Tsushima, and Zhou Yu left Yiqu people to dig silver mines, and then continued south to Hizen Province.

Hizen Province is the westernmost country in Saikaido and the fourth largest country in Saikaido. On the way, Zhou Yu specially communicated with Chu Yan for this purpose, and secretly reminded him to be more careful. Maybe it was because it gave Chu Yan a feeling of weakness before, and he didn't take it to heart.

Hizen Province also got some news from the people who had fled from Tsushima and Itaki Province, and made some preparations first. It's just that they don't pay attention to it either, but instead covet the kind of fine armor that these people say.

Both sides have a contempt for each other, and only the combat effectiveness of the sergeants on both sides is compared. In this way, the mountain army led by Chu Yan occupied an absolute advantage and defeated the 5,000 elite army of the Hizen Kingdom in one fell swoop. After that, it lasted half a month, and he completely took down the fat front.

Easily took the Feiqian Kingdom, Chu Yan felt that Zhou Yu was too cautious, and did not stop, and continued to lead the troops to march to the Chikuzen Kingdom in the east.

In another month, Chu Yan destroyed the three kingdoms of Zhuqian, Zhuhou, and Fengqian.

With Hizen, a total of more than 28,000 people from Shikoku were killed and nearly 100,000 were captured. The mountain army died less than 200 people, and Chu Yan's arrogance became even worse. When Zhou Yu suggested suspending the offensive and resting for a while, Chu Yan refused without hesitation, and led the army to the south and entered the territory of Feihou Kingdom.

At the beginning, he did not encounter the enemy, Chu Yan only felt that the natives of Yingzhou were just intimidated by their military prestige, and did not dare to send troops to fight, so the distance between the spies and the spies was shortened from thirty miles to five miles.

Pride should be there, but it can't be overturned, and if it is over, there will be a catastrophe of overturning.

Chu Yan entered the Higo Kingdom for three days, and finally met the army of the Higo Kingdom, but the other party was crushed at the first touch. Chu Yan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, and led the troops in pursuit.

This was the case for five or six days.

At this time, Chu Yan finally realized that something was wrong, however, it was too late at this time. After several days of pursuit, Chu Yan no longer knew how far the army had marched, only that the enemy soldiers killed in the past few days were only three or five hundred, which was far from the number of enemy troops encountered.

Chu Yan didn't dare to advance easily, so the army was stationed on the spot and sent elite spies to investigate within a radius of two hundred miles.

Zhou Yu couldn't persuade Chu Yan, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but in order to take care of the overall situation, he hurriedly arranged the captives of the four countries of Hizen, and then led the army to follow.

It's just that the mountain army led by Chu Yan marched extremely fast, and although Zhou Yu led the elite of the water army, it was a water army, which was inferior to the infantry army, and it was far worse than the mountain army.

After three days of travel, Zhou Yu suddenly found that he had lost the trace of Chu Yan's mountain army, and immediately felt uneasy, and hurriedly sent spies to explore the surrounding area of a hundred miles.

In just half a day, the spies detected the traces of Chu Yan's army, but it obviously deviated greatly from the planned direction. Zhou Yu knew that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he immediately ordered to speed up the march and chase away.
