This army is Xiao Ruxun's favorite vanguard general Luo Shangzhi's department, and before that, Luo Shangzhi's department was the first to land on the Japanese mainland to attack Nagoya, this time Xiao Ruxun still chose Luo Shangzhi as the vanguard army, equipped him with more than 100 cannons and enough ammunition, let him lead 3,000 elite southern soldiers to become the vanguard, and rushed to the Iwami area in the first place, and began to attack the city without saying a word. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The surprise attack of the Ming army came very suddenly, and the chaotic Japan did not have the ability to have a coastal defense system and coastal defense, so the Ming army landed easily, and then prepared for war, and the armies calmly set out to fight.

So much so that when the Ming army began to attack the city in the Iwami area, the Japanese people and some local garrisons did not react at all, thinking that this was the Tokugawa army coming to attack, but looking at the army's attire and the banner of the military flag, they found that it was not the case at all.

When some people who could understand Chinese characters finally found out that this was the time when the Ming army was attacking, it was too late, and those residential cities and small villages with little defense were taken away by a wave of artillery fire by the Ming army, and everyone became prisoners, and those who dared to resist were killed, and those who surrendered to Cheng were taken into custody, and all the defense facilities and ordnance that the Ming army did not look down upon were burned, and the Japanese in the area being attacked were truly defenseless.

Although the strength of the Ming army was tight, it was still simple and easy for 30,000 people to take a small Iwami area, and the Iwami area did not see any difficult to attack the Japanese city, which was good news for the Ming army, so the Ming army from all walks of life was progressing smoothly, Luo Shangzhi's army was progressing particularly smoothly, and in just two days, it hit the hinterland of Iwami from the seaside, heard the rumbling cannons and gunfires, and realized that there were troops fighting here.

Xiao Ruxun's pre-war analysis meeting made it very clear that the Iwami area was not only a place where the Ming Dynasty was determined to win, but also a place where the two Japanese forces were determined to win.

Both Toyotomi Hideji and Tokugawa Ieyasu knew the importance of Iwami Ginzan, so Toyotomi Hideji and Tokugawa Ieyasu would definitely fight in Iwami, and he asked the Ming army from all walks of life, no matter who saw the Japanese army fighting, no matter who it was, first go up with artillery fire to clean up, and then set up a camp to let the army gain a firm foothold.

Luo Shangzhi followed Xiao Ruxun's route forward, the first to bump into the two armies that were fighting, he did not rush to order the army to attack, but led people to sneak to the war zone, he observed the two sides of the war for an hour did not shoot, through the observation of the clairhand, he noticed that an army was in a weak position, an army was in an advantage, he guessed that the dominant side must be the Tokugawa army, and the weak side should be the Toyotomi army.

He guessed correctly, so he quietly assembled the army, and when the Toyotomi army caused heavy damage to the Tokugawa army and was about to be completely annihilated, he decisively ordered the artillery team to open fire, and the army attacked, and in one fell swoop defeated the Tokugawa army that was bombarded by artillery fire, and after killing and wounding hundreds of Tokugawa troops, the Tokugawa army on the battlefield was forced to retreat because they did not know the situation, giving up the upcoming results, and the fruits of victory were occupied by the Ming army first.

In the cave defended by the last unit of the Toyotomi army, Luo Shangzhi found a mountain of unprocessed silver ore, the amount of which was so large that Luo Shangzhi and his corporal were smacked.

Luo Shangzhi hurriedly ordered his personal guards to strictly guard the mine to prevent anyone from entering, and then seize the time to build a camp, he chose a very good place to set up camp, and soon established a reliable line of defense, before the arrival of the diplomatic envoys of the Tokugawa army, Luo Shangzhi had already arranged the defense.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was greatly surprised when he heard the news of the army on the battlefield, in his memory, the army with so many artillery pieces could never be the Toyotomi army, if they had so many artillery, they would have been used a long time ago, and the Tokugawa army would never be able to defeat them, but they didn't, so the identity of this army was about to be revealed.

Ming Army!

Damn, what the hell do these Ming people want to do? What the hell are you going to do? What are they thinking about? Why? Obviously said it, obviously said it, but still came to intervene? Are you afraid that I will not give them the money? A burst of artillery fire didn't kill much of the Toyotomi army, but it killed a lot of my people, what did they want to do?

Out of fear of the Ming army, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not order the whole army to press back again, but sent a diplomatic envoy, a staff member who knew Chinese characters and could speak Chinese, to send him to the Ming army camp to probe the bottom of the situation, ask the Ming army what they wanted to do, and then decide on the next plan.

However, the delay in time is certain, and the delay in the plan is also certain, Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart was full of anger, if he didn't feel that he couldn't defeat the Ming army, he would have sent troops to crush him.

The diplomatic envoy came to the camp of the Ming army, after seeing the banner, he was sure that it was the Ming army, and was surprised by the speed of the Ming army's encampment, he came to the camp before the Ming army camp, and asked the soldiers to meet the commander of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Ruxun, and the soldiers in the camp asked him who he was, and he said that he was the messenger of the Tokugawa general.

After Luo Shangzhi received the report, he sneered, all this was the same as Xiao Ruxun expected, Luo Shangzhi knew what he should do, Xiao Ruxun wrote several copies of the contract after the exchange and handed them to the generals of several roads, so that the generals of the roads would give it to him no matter who saw Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Provoking him, provoking him, and letting him take the initiative to attack, the main force of the Ming army can rush up and swallow his troops, so that his troops will be greatly damaged, and he will not be able to continue to attack the Toyotomi clan, buy time for the Toyotomi clan, and constantly reconcile the forces of the two sides, and finally contribute to the situation of the division of Japan between the east and the west.

This is not without precedent, as there are also so-called "Northern and Southern Dynasties" periods in Japanese history.

Strive to create two more "emperors" and let the Japanese fight for orthodoxy in their own internal strife!

Luo Shangzhi received the diplomatic envoy of the Tokugawa clan in his main camp, and along the way, the soldiers deliberately took this envoy to a place with many people, so that this envoy could not accurately analyze the strength of the Ming army, and put up more flags, giving people the illusion that they would have enough troops here, so as not to let Tokugawa Ieyasu jump over the wall in a hurry, and attack him with his main force before Xiao Ruxun's main force arrived, he was 3,000 people, and he really didn't necessarily get the advantage of fighting.

The messenger was brought to Luo Shangzhi and saw Luo Shangzhi with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the majestic Luo Shangzhi was a little frightened, and hurriedly saluted: "I don't know if the general is Xiao Ruxun and Admiral Xiao of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"This general is not Admiral Xiao, this will be Luo Shangzhi, a general under Admiral Xiao, according to Admiral Xiao's order, he led the army to Iwami to help the Tokugawa clan for Er."

The envoy and the second monk were puzzled.

"Help? It seems that my lord, the Tokugawa general, did not invite the Ming army to come to help in the war? ”
