The eldest brother of the prince said: "Although the Tang army there has not launched an attack for the time being, it has restrained a large number of our troops. As a result, our army could only divide its troops and defend to the death, and could not concentrate its forces to break through the Tang army's way.

Looks like we're going to start the cherry blossom project right away. ”

The empress asked, "Is there any news from Monobe Kazuki?" ”

The eldest brother of the middle brother said: "Not yet, he sent a telegram saying that Li You is currently driving the Goguryeo and Baekje people to attack our military town of Hagwan, using them to consume the strength of our army.

He said that Li You was not well-intentioned, and when the Goguryeo and Baekje people were almost consumed, it would be their turn to be the people of Kyushu.

General Kim Yi-chul was very anxious, they had the Tang Dynasty's supervisors and warlords, and they had to really engage our army, resulting in heavy losses for both our army and the Goguryeos.

As for General Fugang, the same was true with General Fugang, the Silla people, under the surveillance of the Tang army, had to launch a fierce attack on our army. ”

Zhongchen Lianzu said: "It's not okay to go on like this, we must start Operation Sakura immediately." ”

The empress made up her mind, and she said, "Okay, start Operation Sakura immediately, and the crown prince will be fully responsible." ”

"The retainers obey." The eldest brother said solemnly.

Kumamoto Castle, the mansion of the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

Li Daozong took a statistical report and said, "Your Highness, this is the statistics of casualties among various departments since the beginning of the war. Among them, the Tang army suffered 1,614 casualties, 3,215 Goguryeo people, 1,756 Silla people, and 673 Kyushu people, totaling 7,258 people.

Such casualties are not small, and it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese slaves cannot be underestimated! ”

Niu Jinda said: "Over the years, the minister has fought many times with the Japanese slaves. Although the Japanese were poorly equipped, they were extremely combative and were very stubborn enemies. In battle, it is often fought to the death without retreating. The Art of War: When attacking a city, it is necessary to encircle three and lack one. It is to prevent the enemy from fighting desperately because there is no way out. The U.S. is an island country, and the navy of the Tang Army defeated the U.S. navy and blocked the sea, and they themselves had no way to retreat. The so-called encirclement of three is missing one, and this tactic will not be used. Our army is surrounded by enemy troops on all sides, and the enemy army will inevitably resist desperately, and the future battles will probably be all tough battles.

The previous stage of the battle, which belonged to the periphery, had already caused such a large number of casualties. As the encirclement shrinks, the closer you get to Fujiwara-kyo, the more stubborn the enemy's resistance will become, and I'm afraid that the casualties of our army will become greater and greater."

This time, the government and the opposition did not support the dispatch of troops to the Japanese slave country, and it was purely Li You's idea alone. If the Tang army suffered too many casualties, it would seriously affect Li You's reputation. Li Daozong was a little worried about this. He said: "I'm afraid this battle can't go on like this, and I still have to think of some strategies."

There is also the problem that the total blockade tactics used when attacking Goguryeo are not the same as the tactics used against the Goguryeo people are because the Tang army not only has a strong navy, but also keeps the transportation lines open on land. At present, our army adopts the tactics of landing, and the supplies carried by the various units are very limited, and all of them have to rely on sea transportation. This pressure is too great to last. It's better to do it quickly. ”

Liu Jianda said: "The regular army of the Japanese slave country is called the Renmin Division, and the main force of it is the four divisions of wind, cloud, fire and forest, each with 12,000 people, which are commanded by the children of the imperial family or the in-laws of the imperial family, and are distributed in various strategic fulcrums around Fujiwara-kyo.

When the Japanese army was fighting, it used these four troops as the backbone, and each local army that ruled the country cooperated. If these main forces can be defeated, the army of the Japanese slave country will become a plate of scattered sand, and the battle will be easy to fight. ”

Li You said: "You all have a point. That's the same with my opinion. Be patient in this matter, though. The Japanese slaves will soon lose their breath. Once they've taken action, our chance has come. ”

After the Tang army landed, Liu Renliang and his command headquarters also followed ashore.

Liu Renliang is a famous general, and Li You trusts him very much. In his Tang army, not only the navy under his command, but also all the land forces were under his command.

That morning, Liu Renliang was having breakfast when he heard a few guards outside the door talking there. It is said that recently there has been a fierce general in the [www.biqugex.biz] team of the Japanese National Army, and every time he fights, he takes the lead in rushing to the front, which is extremely fierce and crazy. This person is highly skilled in martial arts, and the Tang army that fought with him has repeatedly suffered losses.

Liu Renliang became interested and decided to go to the front line to see it in person. On this morning, Liu Renliang came to the front line with the Chinese army. The Tang army was besieging a castle of the Japanese slaves. He saw a stone city in front of him, tall and strong, and it seemed that it would be difficult to attack.

Liu Renliang said: "Attacking such a strong castle will cause heavy casualties, and it is best to lure them out for battle."

One of the generals said: "The enemy troops here are extremely crazy, and they will take the initiative to come out and engage our army."

”

Sure enough, at this moment, the gate of the enemy castle opened, and out of it came a group of Japanese troops, about two thousand people.

Liu Renliang raised the binoculars and saw these Japanese slaves, holding a banner with red letters on a black background, and he didn't recognize the words on it. Then he looked at the general led by the Japanese slaves. I saw that this person was wearing a cow helmet, and he couldn't see his face clearly. He was holding a long-handled broadsword and holding a red horse in his crotch. He was surrounded by a group of brightly armored samurai. These people looked different from the other Japanese soldiers, and they looked like they were supposed to be their generals or relatives.

Liu Renliang asked: "Is this the general of the Japanese slave country you are talking about?" ”

Someone next to him replied, "Yes, the Commander is this man." ”

At this time, the Japanese slaves had already come to the front of the Tang army, and the formation was completed.

The general stepped forward and challenged the Tang army. Today, due to the presence of the commander on the front line, there are naturally people in the Tang army vying to fight. I saw a Tang army general with a spear in his hand, Pegasus rushed out of the main formation and came to the front of the general of the Japanese slave country, and the two sides were very fast

They fought together.

The general of the Uno State was really powerful, and in just a few rounds, he beheaded the general of the Tang Army under his horse, and then with a wave of his sword, he took the lead in rushing to the camp of the Tang Army. The Japanese soldiers behind him also shouted and rushed over with him.

Probably seeing Liu Renliang's handsome banner, these guys actually went straight to Liu Renliang's Chinese army. This is a completely lifeless style of fighting, and the Tang army in front of them at this moment is full of 20,000 people.

Liu Renliang praised. "It's crazy. ”

Soon the Japanese people rushed into the front army of the Tang army. The soldiers of the Tang army seemed to be a little afraid of this general of the Japanese slave state, and the front army was actually rushed into confusion by him.
