444. The war has finally begun

In the previous Ming Dynasty, although it had been decided to send troops to Goryeo, many people did not take the war in Goryeo too seriously.

In the hearts of the high-level leaders, including Zhu Yijun, Goryeo and Dongying are nothing more than a small place, and no matter how much trouble they make, it is just a problem of scabies, and they don't take this too seriously.

Li Rusong's headquarters had already marched to Goryeo, and the advance team was only 2,000 people, and they went further to explore the way to find the enemy.

In addition, the Koreans are too cowardly, and ninety percent of the country has been lost, but there is no bottom number of enemy troops.

According to them, there are about 10,000 or 20,000 pirates, but the actual number is still unknown.

The vanguard officer under Li Rusong believed this, and without waiting for the large army in the rear to arrive, he led 2,000 men to start a counterattack against the Dongying troops. Moreover, in one go, he captured the outpost city of the Japanese Invaders, and began to oppose the guest and prepare to wait for reinforcements.

But who knew that by the night of the same day, a steady stream of would-be would-be robbers had arrived from the east and north, and the number of them had exceeded 30,000 or 40,000 by visual inspection alone, and the geometry of the enemy behind them was still unknown!

In this way, the pioneer officer immediately realized that the situation was not right, and he was likely to be cheated by these Goryeo stick pig teammates! If you continue to stay in the city with low walls, you are afraid that after the enemy surrounds you, you will have to reimburse your 2,000 men on the spot!

If you die, you will die, and if you can't pass on the reality to your country, it will be a great sin!

It has to be said here that the strength of the Ming Dynasty army is indeed far above the Japanese - of course, it is also above the Dutch and British who invaded later, as for why it was defeated by the Manchu Tartars, historians generally believe that the main reason is two words: infighting.

The 2,000 people in the vanguard battalion of the Ming Army, taking advantage of the cover of night, took them by surprise and attacked them unprepared, and took advantage of the unstable encampment of the Japanese to launch a counter-charge against the Japanese who were ten times their size!

This suddenly caught the besieging Japanese invaders off guard, and they lost their armor for a while, and they were miserable! This is like a player of "Diablo ‖", who has been brushing Andariel explosive equipment in the first scene of normal mode, and with the help of a small gold, it is really relaxed and comfortable, without pressure, and he feels that he is simply invincible in the world, from the bloody wasteland to the catacombs, and fights all over the world!

As a result, when I landed for the second time, I clicked the wrong button, and accidentally entered the hell mode, and the first creep when I went out was ice and fire immunity, lightning strengthening, skin hardening, and pulse waves! This player went up without knowing the height of the sky, and he was almost seconds when he raised his hand - this is the mood of the widow at about this time!

Could it be that you are getting into the wrong difficulty?

When the Japanese were wondering, the Ming Pioneer Battalion chiseled through the Japanese camp and then reversed the formation, turned around and continued to launch a counter-charge towards the way they came!

This scares the pirates enough! The past is gone, you ruthless me don't stop you, and you actually come back? Is it true that when we are out of temper?

But as soon as the battle is engaged, all right! It's really grumpy. In addition, the lights are blind, and I really don't know how many Ming troops there are, so I can only avoid the sharpness of the Ming army first, let these cattle people go over first, and then set up a camp, waiting for them to turn around and charge back!

However, these would-be robbers waited left and right, and before the Ming army that rushed back, they rushed back, wondering and even more flustered - the invisible enemy is the most terrifying, who knows what these perverts are messing with!

So they continued to line up and defend, which can be said to be tense until dawn - but at this time, the vanguard battalion of the Ming army had retreated at full speed, crossed the Yalu River, returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and rushed back to the front information for 800 miles!

This is the reason why the Ming court urgently summoned me to the palace to discuss the matter of entering the army - a group of people headed by the little emperor are already afraid!

Urgently go to the court to discuss matters, with the knowledge and courage of the little emperor, naturally he can only say something that should be said, what is the big matter, the national disaster is at the head, and so on, Shen Shixing and Shi Xing are not easy to say anything, you can't stop the little emperor from talking nonsense, and make real moves!

Naturally, I didn't have much to say, I just listened silently. When he said that he was tired, he asked lightly: "Then, according to Your Majesty's wishes, when should you enter the army?" ”

Zhu Yijun naturally hated the root of his teeth, but he had no choice but to smile with a majestic face: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! May Aiqing triumph as soon as possible and raise the prestige of our country! ”

I didn't talk nonsense with him, I received the tiger talisman, and saluted in front of everyone, turned my head and went down to the palace!

To tell the truth, I really don't want to be false and wronged with them here, to put it bluntly, I am a hundred rivers in the sea, tolerant and big, standing on thousands of walls, and just without desire. I don't want to be heard in the world in the Ming Dynasty, so why bother to bend my eyebrows and bend my waist to make me unhappy!

Go down, go out, get on the horse, go home, and enter the gate time is only the second watch.

I didn't talk nonsense with others, and went straight to Li Zaixing's mansion to discuss the next march into the army.

Li Zaixing was not in good health and had already slept, but since he heard that I had been called into the palace overnight, he knew that this was a signal that he was about to enter the army, so he got up one by one, put on cotton clothes, and wrapped himself in a warm quilt waiting for my news.

As soon as I came back, he was about to ask his personal servant Li Fu to call me, but he saw that I had come uninvited and had already come to the door of the house.

Li Zaixing was also a soldier, and there were no taboos, so he immediately returned me to the inner hall, and without waiting for me to sit down on the opposite side, he asked: "What does the saint mean, but you want to enter the army immediately?" ”

I arched my hand and smiled: "If you go back to your father-in-law, the little emperor will mean this." ”

After a series of changes, my father-in-law also has a lot of criticism for Zhu Yijun, so although I was disrespectful, he didn't think it was wrong, but frowned and said: "I heard that the Japanese army is very huge, could it be that as you said, it can reach four or five hundred thousand people?" ”

I nodded and said without evasion: "Exactly, the real number is at least more than 400,000!" ”

Li Zaixing was quite silent for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "If this is the case, how can Qilan defeat the enemy?" ”

I laughed and said, "Even if the enemy army is a million, it is not enough to be afraid of the child's eyes!" ”

Li Zaixing smiled, but shook his head again and said, "I said this at the beginning, just to cheer up Xiao...... The Emperor's determination to send troops. But now that the troops are about to be dispatched, you must not be careless when you are out in command! If you have a bad pool, won't Huamei, Kite, and Lan'er have to suffer and grieve for you all their lives? ”

I knew that he was genuinely worried about me, so I stopped joking, but replied with a straight face: "Master Yue, the child is not a vain person, you can sit down and listen to me." ”

Li Zaixing nodded and sat firmly, listening to my plan.

I took out a few cups, put them upside down on the table, and divided them into two with my hands.

Stretching out his hand and pointing to one of them, he said, "This half is the strength of Yushiba Hideyoshi's army." As he spoke, he pointed to the other half: "These are the forces of the Shibata Katsu family." ”

Li Zaixing nodded, waiting for me to continue.

I stretched out my hand and pulled a bunch on the left, and sneered: "I have already reported to Lord Yuezhang before, Shibata Katsuya is now at the end of the strong crossbow, and the wind and candle are in their last years, and the slightest wind and grass will soon die." And the Shibata family has no successors, and several of them are adopted sons on the table, and they are dissatisfied with each other. If Shibata Katsu returns to heaven, Shibata's camp will definitely be in chaos without a fight! ”

Li Zaixing nodded, but he was even more worried: "Now that the Japanese are in full swing, the situation is still controllable, if one of them collapses, then the rest are like mountains and flowing water, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo, Qilan, how do you meet the enemy?" ”

I smiled slightly, pulled aside the teacups that represented the military strength of the Shibata Katsuie, and then took out a few cups representing the military strength of Hideyoshi Hashiba and scattered them open.

"As far as I know, the strength of the Yuchai army is by no means monolithic, Lord Yue, you see, this is the Shimazu family." I pointed to the teacup closest to the table and smiled, "The Shimazu brothers are heroes, and they have always refused to be subservient. Now, although he has submitted Hideyoshi Hashiba, he is definitely just adapting to the situation and is not willing to contribute to it sincerely. ”

Li Zaixing hummed, but did not answer, I knew that he still had no confidence, so I told the story of the two brothers who went to Dongying in person and met Shimazu on the road in the previous stage, and talked about the fire that they only got on the boat and were unguarded, and listened to my advice, Li Zaixing finally had some confidence.

I continued: "It's pretty easy to verify his attitude – just see if he's going to leave, that's enough to say it, right? Lord Yue. ”

The old father-in-law believed me, then pointed to the next cup and asked, "What about this?" ”

I looked at the cup and said lightly: "The overlord of the four countries, Changzong and my first family, are brave and resourceful, and have always been jealous of Yushiba Hideyoshi, and the relationship between the two has always been extremely unharmonious. However, due to the general situation, it seems that he has thrown himself into the forces of Yushiba, but as far as I know, the soldiers he sent to Goryeo are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and the main force remains in Shikoku. ”

The old father-in-law suddenly laughed and said, "He is on guard against Yushiba Hideyoshi's drunkard's intention not to drink!" ”

I spread my hands and said, "Do you need to say more about this?" ”

Li Zaixing laughed excitedly a few times, choking himself and coughing violently! The door curtain was suddenly lifted with a "bang", and a few people came in outside the door, with a diffuse aroma!

It turned out to be three girls eavesdropping outside the door, and when they saw that their father was unwell, they immediately came in to help beat their backs and rub their legs!

The old father-in-law was obviously frightened by them, waved his hand lightly to indicate that it was not necessary, and held back his cough, before he asked in a hoarse voice, "What about the rest?" ”

I pointed to the remaining three cups and said in one breath: "The Maori family is known as a wise man, and seeing that the Shimazu family and the Nagazong family are all taking advantage of the situation, they naturally refuse to be the first bird alone. If the other two are persuaded to quit, it will be a fallen tree! ”

"In addition, there are the bereaved families of Akechi Mitsuhide and the remnants of Honganji Temple, who all regard Hashiba Hideyoshi as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, if we fan the flames in their homeland, it will inevitably cause Hashiba Hideyoshi to cause trouble in the wall!"

Li Zaixing said with a smile: "Just like the last time you did those shady things in Dongying!" ”

I laughed and said, "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, Lord Yue's words are serious!" ”

We looked at each other and laughed together!

Finally, I added: "In this way, the army of Hashiba Hideyoshi is only left with its headquarters and the Uki family, and some young people such as the Uki family, and Lord Yuezhang can rest assured!" There must be no mistakes! ”

The old father-in-law was completely relieved, but he remembered something and asked: "There are two other things, one is that you once said that you should cooperate with the Spaniards and act to attack the Ming Dynasty......

I whispered, "Be on call, what a show!" ”

Li Zaixing's father-in-law smiled and said nothing, he naturally understood what I meant.

Finally, he turned his head to look at the three girls behind him, and then sighed and asked, "......What about these children?"

I was also very emotional, and when I met Kite and Lan Fang, I had to separate; and Huamei finally became married, but had to part for the time being. But just as I was about to speak, the three of them said in unison, "I'll go too!" ”

I couldn't help frowning and said, "I'm going to fight, what are you going to do?" Take care of my father-in-law at home with peace of mind, and I will come back naturally after I win! ”

Unexpectedly, the three of them resolutely disagreed, slapped the table and glared at me, and shouted at me! If you don't take them there, you won't follow them, and I don't want to think of going out of this door, and so on.

I was suddenly noisy! This is simply a battle that is more difficult to fight than facing the army of Dongying Woko!

Of course, it's all fate!
