Chapter 45: Raid from the Back

"Forget it, let's see the effect, if it doesn't work, then Lord Ben will figure it out himself. Eight? 1 Chinese Network ?? ． ８?１?ｚ?” Shen Chongming comforted himself and said, talking about such a big thing with a person like Erdan is tantamount to playing the piano to a cow. It was such a mistake to come and talk to him.

"You can take care of your injuries, I'll go first." With that, Shen Chongming got up and was about to go out.

"My lord, you have to remember to promise your subordinates, Xin'er, you can help your subordinates propose." Brother Erdan has been thinking about this, and whenever he talks about it, the injuries on his body are not so important, and he doesn't feel pain when he sits up.

Turning around and glaring at Brother Erdan, Shen Chongming said helplessly: "Write it down, I can't forget such a good thing as you!" ”

The more than 100,000 troops of the Japanese were placed on the front line, and such news was naturally very easy to inquire about, and before the half-moon period arrived, the men and horses sent by Yi Sunsin sent back the information they had spooked.

"The army of the Japanese is spread out on the front line, and several cities echo each other, and the city of Yichuan at the head is the horn. They made such an arrangement, obviously wanting to rely on the geographical advantages to block the soldiers and horses of our court. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any good strategies to break the enemy? Shen Chongming glanced at everyone and asked, one person is short, maybe there will be a more perfect battle plan after discussion.

Moreover, the first phase of the battle against the Japanese has come to an end, and during this period of time, he has always made up his own minds, and he has not left a chance for his generals to perform. If we don't give them a chance now, the credit will be discounted.

"My lord, the Japanese are amassing heavy troops on one front, although it is extremely detrimental to our advance. But once Yichuan is broken through in one fell swoop, the entire front of the Japanese will be broken into two, and they can not echo each other and can be broken individually, then the autumn wind will sweep away the leaves. Therefore, the last general thinks that we should also gather all the horses to fight to the death, just like cleaning up the Japanese sailors, and the battle will be decided! Wang Zhen was the first to say, if you don't find some errands, you can only stare at others and envy others for their achievements.

Shen Chongming nodded in agreement, this is indeed a good idea, it is much easier to destroy all the Japanese in a battle than to eat them one bite after they are scattered. After all, the longer the army is spent outside, the more the burden on the imperial court will be, and this military expenditure is not a small amount.

As a deputy general, Xiong Dabiao has always been like gold, so that he is not pretending to be a leader, but he can only charge into battle, and this brain-using thing is really not his strength. If he said the wrong thing and caused others to laugh in their hearts, it was better to keep his mouth shut.

For this war, his thoughts are exactly the same as Wang Zhen's. It's just that this kind of idea of fighting hard is definitely not a good strategy, and Xiong Dabiao, who has a little more heart, is not in a hurry to express his position.

But now that Wang Zhen said such an idea, and he was praised by Shen Chongming, Xiong Dabiao immediately had confidence. It seems that over the years, I have really grown a lot of ability.

Thinking of this, Xiong Dabiao laughed and said: "The last general also thinks like this, if you don't hand over this errand to the last one to do it, you will definitely beat the wolf." ”

As soon as Xiong Dabiao said something, Zhang Chi, who originally wanted to speak, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. His own ideas are exactly opposite to those of him, and he is extremely opposed to such ideas of the two of them. Although it can work, but if you fight hard, even if you win the battle in the end, you don't know how many soldiers and horses you will lose. But if I say this, I will be guilty of both of them.

However, Shen Chongming didn't mean to let him go, turned his head to look at Zhang Chi and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, do you have other ideas?" ”

Zhang Chi, Shen Chongming, attaches great importance to this person, otherwise he would not have specifically ordered his generals if he led troops into the DPRK to fight against the Japanese invaders this time.

When Shen Chongming asked this, Zhang Chi was immediately a little overwhelmed. Say it, offend people, don't say it, but you have lived up to Shen Chongming's weight.

After a little contemplation, Zhang Chi still decided to focus on the big thing, after all, this matter is a major matter related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, even if he really offends Lord Xiong and Lord Wang today, it is worth it.

"Lord Qiyu, the last general has some differences in ideas from General Xiong and General Wang. Although the first war is the best choice for the current war, but in this way, I am afraid that the price to pay is not small. Therefore, the last general thought that this battle should also use the strengths of the imperial army, and it was best to force the Japanese to the coastal area. At that time, the terrain is flat enough for our cavalry to fight, and General Wang's sailors can also provide support at any time. In this way, the casualties of the brothers would be much less. As he spoke, Zhang Chi smiled apologetically at Xiong Dabiao and Wang Zhen. Although he has tried his best to take care of the faces of the two of them in his words, anyone can know the meaning of their words.

Xiong Dabiao didn't feel anything, but Wang Zhen was a little unhappy. What does it mean to provide support, could it be that the key soldiers of the Fujian Navy Division, who completely annihilated the Japanese Naval Army, can only serve as the task of providing logistical support?

Seeing Wang Zhen look up at the roof and not speak, Shen Chongming knew that this guy was a little angry, and he couldn't bear to watch the estrangement between these two guys, so Shen Chongming had to be a peacemaker again.

"Hehe, what you two say must be reasonable, if the two become one, this battle will be easy to fight. In the opinion of this officer, if we want to force the Japanese to act according to our ideas, we must spend blood to break their morale at the beginning of the war. Then, when the Japanese retreated, we surrounded and intercepted him, forcing him to retreat to the flat land along the coast, and when the time came to enter the range of cavalry attack, all things would be settled. ”

If you are impartial, you will immediately make Wang Zhen happy. Since he is going to fight a tough battle, there are not a few soldiers and horses needed, and if he asks for orders to participate in the war, Lord Shen will definitely agree.

And Zhang Chi was also relieved, after all, he didn't want to wipe out more than 100,000 Japanese robbers in one go, so that although it was still inevitable to fight a tough battle, the casualties would not be as heavy as before.

"My lord, when the Japanese are gathered on the front line, they must have thought that we would directly attack their defenses. If we can attack from behind, it will definitely disrupt their arrangement, and it will be much easier to drive them away. ”

This was the voice from the door, and Shen Chongming, who was sitting in the seat, originally said that it was the idea put forward by the general with a relatively low position, but when he looked up, he was now leaning on a slightly low soft chair and looking at himself cautiously.

In the past, there were such military meetings, and Brother Erdan generally stood beside Shen Chongming as the leader of the guard. This time he was seriously injured and could barely get out of bed, and he didn't dare to lie in the front for others to watch, so he sat at the bottom very low-key. Unexpectedly, there were dozens of generals attending the meeting, and Shen Chongming did not even show him.

Brother Erdan's words were exactly what Shen Chongming was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Second ...... Master Ma, tell me what you think. ”

This smile can be regarded as the greatest encouragement to Brother Erdan. In fact, when he said this idea, Brother Erdan was just a whimsical and didn't think about more things, and he couldn't help but regret saying it for a while, if he said the wrong thing, he would have to laugh and be generous.

"My lord, my subordinates can't say anything. It's easier to just do it than to be open. Brother Erdan is straightforward and fast-talking, and directly says the truest thoughts in his heart.

Shen Chongming glanced at him a little helplessly, such a good opportunity to perform was wasted by this stupid person.

Although he was a little angry, Shen Chongming still gave enough face to this subordinate of the center, and when he saw him, he smiled and said, "Well, what you said is reasonable." If the sneak attack is successful, there are indeed a lot of things left, how do you think you can do it? ”

He said it all, and the others didn't dare to open their mouths even if they had different ideas, and immediately nodded their heads in favor, and a meeting that decided to win or lose the big war ended quickly.

That night, Wang Zhen's fleet sailed south with the Jianzhou Zhongwei men and horses of Nalanddoji. The Jurchens are natural hunters, and this kind of sneak attack that most needs to hide their whereabouts is naturally left to them.

However, Wang Zhen failed to participate in the frontal attack as he wished, and he was still a little unhappy in his heart, but since Shen Chongming had issued a military order, how could he dare to disobey, and he could only wonder if he would have to follow Nalan Duoji's back to bargain for some bargains at that time.

On the contrary, Narandoji, who led the troops on a sneak attack mission, cheered. Lord Shen entrusted such an important task to himself, what a lot of trust.

Nalanduo took the lead in the first step, and early the next morning, Shen Chongming led the remaining 50,000 men and horses to set off in a mighty manner, and along the way, he did not hurry or slow down the posture of the army going south, only hoping that the scouts sent by the Japanese to inquire about the news could show this matter. When the time comes, it will attract their attention, and the chance of success of the sneak attack behind Nalandoji's troops will be even greater.

Looking back, the Japanese who had been waiting for the battle, and after waiting for a few days to see Watanabe Masao return with the fleet, Kuroda Nagamasa could see that something was wrong, no matter how stupid he was. Although I didn't feel scared in my heart, it was natural to send someone to report such a serious matter to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. At the same time, Kuroda Nagamasa also sent more than a dozen scouts to the Nanpu area in disguise to inquire about specific news.

The result of the guess did not scare Kuroda Nagamasa, but it scared Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves. If this is the case, the combat power of the Ming army is too strong, so whether Kuroda Nagamasa, a fierce general, can resist the Ming army's soldiers, is two words. At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi made a plan to withdraw his troops from North Korea.

However, as soon as the small calculation was made, Toyotomi Hideyoshi dispelled this idea. The navy was completely annihilated, and with these disembarkations in his hands now, wanting to withdraw the more than 100,000 troops was tantamount to a fool's dream.

Moreover, once the war ends in such a hurry, the First Army, which was almost completely wiped out before, will have no value, not to mention, its prestige will definitely be greatly damaged. So after pondering and pondering, Toyotomi Hideyoshi still decided to grit his teeth and persevere. After all, this arrangement is very comprehensive, and it is not certain that it will be better than it will be successful.
