Seeing that all the generals were eager to fight, the Japanese army commander Sakai Tadaji was also overjoyed, and said to the generals: "Everyone! At that time, Taige led the elite of our great Japan to invade Korea, with the original intention of destroying Korea, advancing westward into the Ming Dynasty, and then attacking India and dominating the mainland! Move the capital of Japan from Kyoto to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty! Such a grand ambition has not been realized, and it is really a hatred for the ages! ”

The next six people, Honda Tadakatsu, Kamihara Yasumasa, Ii Naomasa, Nainari Naito, Hattori Hanzo, and Watanabe Hanzo, were all angry when they heard this, and they all seemed to have some deep hatred with Daming.

Sakai Tadaji, the chief general of the Japanese army, continued: "Today, I will lead the 300,000 elite Japanese army to invade Korea again with you, not only to defeat the tens of thousands of Ming troops in front of me and cut off the back route of the 200,000 Ming army, but also to take advantage of this great opportunity to annex Korea, complete the first step of the Taiko's grand plan of that year, and lay the foundation for our great Japan to dominate the mainland!" ”

"Long live Great Japan!"

"Annexation of North Korea and defeat the Ming Dynasty!"

Honda Tadakatsu, Kamihara Yasumasa, Ii Naomasa, Naonari Naito, Hattori Hanzo, and Watanabe Hanzo all shouted with their arms in the town, and fell into a frenzy like a pack of mad dogs discovering carrion.

"Ben will order!"

As soon as the words fell, Honda Tadakatsu, Kamihara Yasumasa, Ii Naomasa, Nainari Naito, Hattori Hanzo, and Watanabe Hanzo all stood up straight, staring at the main general Sakai Tadaji without squinting, waiting for Sakai Tadaji to issue an order.

"Today, the whole army will begin to mobilize, and early tomorrow morning, the armies of all departments will go out of the camp and prepare to fight with the tens of thousands of Ming troops in front of them!"

"Hey!"

On that day, the 300,000 troops in the Japanese camp immediately began to reorganize, and the camp was full of movement of men and horses, material transfers, and the sound of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and war horses could be clearly heard for miles away.

When the Japanese army first began to mobilize, the soldiers who had been wandering around the Japanese camp found out the clues. It didn't take long for the Japanese army to be sent back to the camp a few miles away.

After receiving the information that the soldiers who did not receive it at night were continuously sent back, Li Dingguo, the chief military officer of Liaonan Town, and Ai Nengqi, the chief military officer of Tashan Town, immediately summoned all the generals above the garrison level in Liaonan Town and Tashan Town to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss and prepare to formulate a combat strategy to meet the Japanese army.

It didn't take long for dozens of garrisons and generals from the two towns to gather together and crowd the Chinese army's tent.

Li Dingguo was in the first place, Ai Nengqi sat in the deputy position, and the remaining dozens of garrisons and staff generals sat down in turn.

Li Dingguo saw that everyone had arrived, and there was no politeness, so he directly picked up an urgent report sent back by the soldiers who did not receive it at night, and said to the generals: "The urgent report has been sent back if the night is not received, the Japanese army is fully mobilized, and it is expected that it will come to fight a decisive battle with our army tomorrow!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the dozens of garrisons and generals present were full of fighting spirit, without the slightest fear, and they were eager to lead tens of thousands of soldiers from the two towns to fight the generals now.

Ai Nengqi on the side saw that all the generals were roaring loudly and excited, and his voice even overshadowed Li Dingguo's words, so he couldn't help frowning and being a little annoyed: "What are you yelling about!" Shut up! Listen to the big brother! ”

Most of the generals in Liaonan Town and Tashan Town were originally reorganized from the army of thieves, and some of the soldiers were replenished from all over Liaodong after the destruction of the Manchu Dynasty.

Therefore, the main general Li Dingguo is not only the chief military officer of Liaonan Town in the hearts of the generals of the two towns, but also the leader who led everyone to find a way to live, so now although everyone has become the generals of the Dangkou battalion, the vast majority of generals and even veterans are still used to calling Li Dingguo the boss and the eldest brother.

Ainengqi's voice immediately made the dozens of guards and generals present shut their mouths, and everyone sat back in their seats with a wry smile and stopped shouting loudly.

Seeing this, Ainengqi muttered: "They are all generals of the Dangkou battalion, and they are still so unruly!" ”

Li Dingguo laughed a few times, but he was not angry because of this, and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Japanese army is different from the Korean soldiers and horses, and its combat power is much stronger, especially the Japanese army's Japanese sword is even sharper, which is modeled on the Tang knife, and the soldiers of all departments should be more careful!" ”

Ai Nengqi also said with a grim face: "Also, according to the news that the night does not receive back, there are still a lot of firecrackers in the Japanese army, and those are formed firecrackers, so we must be more careful when we come to the battle!" ”

After listening to the words of Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi, all the generals put away their previous thoughts of underestimating the enemy and began to take seriously the 300,000 Japanese soldiers and horses in front of them.

Some generals suggested that when the battle was due, they should directly use the heavy fire of the artillery battalion to crush the Japanese formation, and then use the iron cavalry army to rush straight up.

Some generals suggested that it was better to defend the camp to the death, first deplete the Japanese army's strength, and then defend it to attack and defeat the enemy.

Suddenly, shouts sounded again in the big tent, but this time the generals were only discussing the enemy's strategy, so Ainengqi not only did not reprimand the generals, but also participated in the discussion together.

After everyone discussed, they found that the main general Li Dingguo had not spoken, but was pondering and silent.

So, the generals looked at Li Dingguo one after another, and Ai Nengqi also asked: "Big brother, if you have any ideas, just talk to the big guy." ”

Li Dingguo said in a deep voice: "According to the news that the soldiers will not be collected at night, the big battle is tomorrow, and the Japanese army will not do its best to fight in this battle, at best, it will be a tentative attack, so it is very simple for our army to win, and it is not difficult." But! ”

Everyone asked, "But what?" ”

Li Dingguo frowned and said, "However, we can't fight this battle!" It could not hurt the Japanese army and make the Japanese army retreat, so that Wu Zongzhen led the army to block the retreat of the Japanese army; And we can't let the soldiers sacrifice in vain and suffer losses and defeat in the big war. So how do we deal with the battle of tomorrow, but it's extremely difficult! ”

When the generals heard this, they were also embarrassed, and they were all silent in thought. Ainengqi also frowned and didn't say a word, obviously unable to think of appropriate attention.

Li Dingguo saw that all the generals were in trouble, and suddenly laughed and said, "Haha! That's okay, it's not that hard! Since this battle is not easy to fight, then we will not fight it well! Pass the order! The whole army abandoned the big camp tonight, and the whole army retreated ten miles south and set up camp again! ”

When the generals heard this, they were all anxious, and many people stood up suddenly, including Ai Nengqi, almost everyone opposed the retreat order issued by Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "If our army fights, if it wins, the Japanese army will hesitate and dare not advance, and then it is very likely to go north and flee; If defeated, 300,000 Japanese troops will chase after each other, and our army will most likely collapse! Therefore, our army retreated first and then retreated, retreating ten miles every day, and set up a large camp every day for the Japanese army to occupy. The plain here is about 100 miles long from north to south, and in eight days at most, the town will be torn apart by the Japanese army! ”

When the generals heard this, they were all thoughtful, but Ai Nengqi thought of something, and said with a smile: "Since the eldest brother has given the order, then let's do what it is!" ”

Seeing that the generals were still hesitant, Ai Nengqi said with some hatred: "Haven't you seen the Three Kingdoms? I don't even know how to deceive! ”

When the generals heard this, they all suddenly realized, and one of the generals laughed and said: "The eldest brother asked us to be Wei Yan, and the eldest brother himself became Zhuge Kongming!" ”

"Haha!"

When they heard this, they burst into laughter.

Early the next morning, the Japanese army commander Sakai Tadaji led Honda Tadakatsu, Kamihara Yasumasa, Ii Naomasa, Naonari Naito, Hattori Hanzo, Watanabe Hanzo six generals led an army of 300,000 troops, and swept south to kill the camp of the two towns of the camp in one fell swoop.

However, to the surprise of the Japanese generals, it was not the tide of the Ming army that greeted him, nor the artillery and swords, but an empty battalion, and there was not a single soldier of the Ming army. The camp of the Ming army was full of all kinds of materials left behind, and even some weapons were thrown on the ground, and the whole camp was a mess.

Seeing the scene in front of them, all the Japanese generals were shouting, and the 300,000 Japanese troops behind the generals also let out bursts of cheers, the once invincible Ming army was scared away by the Japanese army, and even had no courage to face the battle, how could such a thing not make all the Japanese soldiers cheer?

Seeing that tens of thousands of Ming troops had fled without a fight, the six generals of Honda Tadakatsu, Kamihara Yasumasa, Ii Naomasa, Naonari Naito, Hattori Hanzo, and Watanabe Hanzo saw that tens of thousands of Ming troops had fled without a fight, and they shouted that they would lead the army to pursue the victory, and they must completely annihilate this Ming army.

However, the Japanese army commander Sakai Tadaji was a little hesitant, it is said that the Ming army that went to Korea this time was an elite division that had fought in Liaodong, and they were all strong generals who participated in the destruction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how could they flee without a fight?

Seeing that the main general was still hesitating, Naomasa Ii on the side shouted loudly: "Sakai-kun! Don't hesitate any longer, even if this Ming army is strong, as long as the generals leading the army are afraid, they will also run away without a fight! ”

"That's right! It must be that the generals of the Ming army were afraid of the might of our army, so they directly led the army to escape! ”

The rest of the generals all echoed their words and urged the whole army to pursue.

The Japanese commander Tadaji Sakai pondered for a while, then made up his mind and said to Watanabe Hanzo beside him: "Watanabe-kun! You lead an army of 40,000 to garrison here, waiting for our army's victorious return! ”

When Watanabe Hanzo heard this, he immediately shouted his order: "Hey! Please rest assured that the last general will definitely guard the back road of our army! ”

The rest of Honda Tadakatsu, Yasumasa Kamihara, Naomasa Ii, Masanari Naito, and Hanzo Hattori all sneered in their hearts when they saw this, and they all felt that the main general Sakai Tadaji was too cautious, and he had to guard the retreat of the army first in pursuit of tens of thousands of routs? In this case, by the time the army set off, the tens of thousands of Ming troops would not know where to flee to!
