Chapter 1748: Qi Jiguang Suppresses the Widow (Middle)

The total strength of the alliance between Kazuki and Maori Yuan was only nearly 11,000, but the number of troops in Zhou Yu's hands was as high as 65,000, and it could be said that he had an absolute advantage in killing the Red Qin army in terms of strength.

But even so, Kaneshin was still sure of victory, because the purpose of his trip was only to plunder, not to fight the Qin army head-on.

There are more people and there are more people, and fewer people also have the advantage of fewer people.

Although there are few people on the Japanese side, they are on the attacking side, they are not trying to attack the city, they are just plundering, and they find the empty place of the Qin army's troops and grab it and run, the superior forces of the Qin army cannot be used at all, so they occupy the absolute initiative.

Although Zhou Yu has a lot of troops in his hands, he is on the defensive side, and Qingbei needs to be guarded against a lot, so if the troops are apportioned, it will naturally not be much, so it is relatively passive.

Zhou Yu's side, before receiving Su Dingfang's summons, had already learned the news that a large number of pirates had appeared in Liangshan County, and after Su Dingfang learned that they were Japanese pirates, he was also more vigilant.

The biggest difference between Zhou Yu and Su Dingfang is that Su Dingfang only needs to defend the land of one county and eight counties in Bohai, after all, Jizhou only has one county in Bohai near the sea, but he has a full army of 100,000 in his hands.

100,000 troops defend eight counties, even if the troops are evenly divided, each county can be divided into more than 10,000 troops, so the defense of the Bohai Sea can be foolproof.

Although Zhou Yu had 65,000 troops in his hands, the number of troops was far more than that of Shangshan and Kanxin, but the coastal defense line in Qingbei was too long, and there were 18 counties in Beihai County alone, and the three counties had 36 counties.

If the troops were divided evenly among the 36 counties, even if there were 100,000 more troops, it would still not be enough.

Zhou Yu couldn't do this without so many troops, he could only allocate 50,000 troops to guard more than ten counties close to the sea, and ensure the safety of coastal counties as much as possible.

In this case, it is naturally more dangerous to be relatively far inland, but once the Japanese invaders penetrate deep into the interior, the time for retreat will definitely be greatly increased, and this also gives Zhou Yu the opportunity to send a large army to encircle and annihilate him.

Zhou Yu obviously underestimated the Dongying military god shirt and letter, his arrangement seems to be very perfect, but it is a method for mediocre people, in front of everyone in the art of war, such an arrangement still has many loopholes.

Therefore, after the union of Kamikanesin and Maori Moto, the first target selected was Xiami County, Beihai County, for three reasons:

1. There are many people in Xiami County, and they are rich, even if they don't enter the city to loot, they can still grab a lot of money and grain;

2, Xiami County is close to the sea, which is convenient for retreat, and the Qin army is too late to react.

3. The garrison strength of Xiami County is not large, and it is a county with relatively few garrison troops among the three counties near the sea in Qingbei.

Zhou Yu would arrange it like this, the purpose was to lure the Japanese to go to the interior of the defense of the vacant inland, but he was not fooled at all, and still chose the county seat near the sea.

Knowing that Xiami County had been attacked and suffered heavy casualties, Zhou Yu hurriedly mobilized troops to support Xiami County, but when they arrived, the Japanese had already run away, and although the county seat had not yet been breached, the surrounding villages and towns were devastated.

Zhou Yu was angry, but he received the news of what had happened to Beihai Gaomi, but when the reinforcements arrived, the Japanese ran away again.

After two consecutive failures, Zhou Yu realized that it was not possible to go on like this, so he ordered the people outside the city to be relocated into the city, and at the same time set up beacons along the coast to warn against the attack of the Japanese invaders, and the combination of these two tactics finally worked.

The target of the third login of the Japanese invaders was to choose Zou Liang County of the Liangshan Army, but they were detected soon after they went ashore, and Zhou Yu hurriedly mobilized the troops of the surrounding three counties to encircle and suppress, but the outcome was completely unexpected by Zhou Yu.

The army of 6,000 in three counties fought against 4,000 Japanese and killed 800 Japanese soldiers, but paid nearly 2,000 casualties.

Such a casualty ratio also made Zhou Yu realize that the combat strength of this group of Japanese pirates who crossed the sea was not weak, and it was really not easy to defeat the Japanese pirates head-on with the army he had reorganized from prisoners of war.

The 65,000 army in Zhou Yu's hands was extremely mixed, either from Liangshan or from the Northern Han Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness was naturally not strong.

Zhou Yu originally thought that even if the combat power of the Qingbei army was not strong, he could make up for the shortcomings in this area by relying on his wisdom and ability, but he didn't expect that the main general of the Japanese Kou was also a famous general, and it was obviously impossible to defeat an elite army of tens of thousands with a weak army.

In desperation, Zhou Yu had to ask Qin Hao in northern Hebei for help, hoping to send some elite soldiers to Qingbei to help him suppress the bandits, and the number of people was not too much, 10,000 was enough.

Hebei North, Hejian Army, Lecheng County, Taishou Mansion.

"My lord, this time the Japanese invaded, not only my family, but also the coastal areas such as Eastern Wu, Zhu Ming, Zhu Qi, Northern Han, and even Sanhan were all attacked by the Japanese invaders.

Wu Gongsun Jian issued an edict, accusing Liu Xiu, the king of Chu, of colluding with foreigners, hiring Japanese pirates, and attacking Jiangdong.

Zhu Di, the king of the Ming Dynasty, also issued an edict, angrily scolding Cao Cao, the Duke of Wei, and Zhao Kuangyin, the Duke of Song, for colluding with foreigners, hiring Japanese robbers, and slaughtering Jianghuai.

As for the puppet emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, Liu Che ......"

At this time, Zhang Liang listened, while Qin Hao sneered: "Liu Che must have slandered this king and hired a wolf to attack Youzhou, right?" ”

"That's right."

"Hehe, it's really a tacit understanding."

Qin Hao sneered and mocked.

In this large-scale attack on the coast, the affected princes not only did not look for the culprit, but instead put the blame on the heads of their opponents, and there was no more darkness in the hearts of the people than this.

"What about the casualties of our people?" Qin Hao asked.

Zhang Liang didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Compared with other princes, the casualties of our people are not large.

According to statistics, a total of 6,578 people in Bohai County, Jizhou, died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese Invaders.

Because the Japanese in Jizhou fled to Qingbei, and the two Japanese have joined forces, the casualties among the people in Qingbei are even greater.

At present, the number of dead and injured people in Qingbei has exceeded 10,000, and it is still rising. ”

Syllable......

Qin Hao slammed the table and said angrily, "What is he Zhou Yu doing to eat?" An army of 65,000 can't wipe out more than 10,000 Japanese invaders? ”

Qin Hao had great hopes for Zhou Yu, and even the little thing between him and his little sister turned a blind eye, but this time Zhou Yu disappointed him.

Qin Hao didn't know the actual situation in Qingbei, so he said this, but Li Jing, who knew the situation, knew it, and immediately stood up to defend Zhou Yu and said: "Lord, in fact, Zhou Yu has tried his best, but most of his troops are reorganized by prisoners, and their combat power is not strong, so they will be broken out by the Japanese many times......
