Chapter 458: Arson Battle in Kyoto

In the following time, the actions of the Ryukyu Navy were concentrated in one day, and the destruction was the mainstay, and the scale of the operation was also based on the battalion, but the Wa State was not all stupid, and the battalion of the Yutai fell into the trap of the Wa State during the operation and was trapped.

Fortunately, there were Shi Jin and Wang Yin's battalions around in time to rescue, so they were not annihilated, but they also lost half of their manpower, especially the soldiers lost nearly two-thirds, and the reason why they did not collapse was because everyone knew that they had killed too many Japanese people, and there would definitely be no good fruit to eat if they surrendered.

After the Yutai battalion was disabled, he had to go back to Zhenwa Island to replenish and repair, and during this period of time, Zhang San also lost two or three thousand soldiers, all of whom were replenished from the new barracks in the Ryukyus, so there were three new battalions on Zhenwa Island that had been training while being responsible for guarding prisoners.

Although the personnel of the battalion have been replenished, the combat effectiveness must have declined greatly, so Zhang San did not allow several requests to fight, so when he was guarding the slaves, he tortured and killed dozens of slaves, for which Zhang San called him over and gave him a beating, which is all money.

In desperation, Zhang San comforted him and asked him to train well to participate in the next battle of Kyoto. This calmed his emotions, and this incident also taught Zhang San a lesson, that is, some people are only suitable for being fierce generals, and leading troops may cause heavy losses.

In this battle, the whole country rejoiced, and all kinds of new tactics emerged one after another, and the 40,000-strong team in the Shizuoka area, in order to deal with this kind of battalion-based attack, was divided into ten teams of 3,000 men to prepare for several sneak attacks.

This resolute could not be tolerated, Zhang San decided to concentrate 20 battalions of troops to directly raid Shizuoka County, Zhang San's sea ships docked in the middle of the night to land on the Li Min to complete the encirclement, and several rounds of salvo fire from ballistas at sea found that the city wall could not be broken, Zhang San had to use the old method, the archers suppressed, and the infantry landed the city tactics.

Before going to the city, according to the siege method of this era, the crossbow arrows were first shot with a bed crossbow and nailed to the wall, one was to destroy the city wall, and the other was to give the soldiers who climbed the city one more channel to climb up.

However, the county seat of Shizuoka Prefecture is less than three meters high, and there is really no challenge, and many officers above the company commander do not use ladders to climb up directly, so after a few rounds of shooting, Zhang San ordered the army to attack the city.

There is no doubt that Shizuoka Prefecture did not expect pirates to dare to attack their heavily guarded city, so this time they sent most of the troops, and there was no problem with 10,000 people defending the city for a few days, but there was often a special case.

Because there were Zhang Yuanba and twenty battalion commanders in this battle, they were at least first-class master-level generals, so this small city, which was not even a county seat, was broken without resisting a round of attacks.

The original thought that there would be a large surrender of the castle did not appear, but the soldiers began to fight street battles with the Ryukyu army with the help of private houses, and even some residents resisted with various tools and farm tools.

The matter was reported to Zhang San's boat, and Zhang San asked speechlessly: "Guan Zhong, do you think we are too merciful?" ”

Xu Guanzhong shook the feather fan and said: "Tang Taizong has a saying: Rong Di has a human face and a beast's heart, and if he is not surprised, he will be harmed. Pidiyi is a cheap race, all of them are human-faced and animal-hearted, strong are invaders, weak are humble, do not serve kindness and righteousness, and especially have the ears of authority. ”

Zhang San nodded and said: "Yes, Sima Guang also said: Yidi, beasts, fear of power but not virtue, so we must let them deeply accept the lesson of this kind of resistance." ”

Zhang San thought about it for a while and said: "The order goes down, and all the departments take turns to leave the city, hand over their personal belongings except for those issued by the army, and start to enter the city at three o'clock in the afternoon, and kill them all!" Grab the light! Burn it out! But there are two prohibitions, the first is not allowed. Second, the seized items shall be uniformly distributed by all ministries and shall not be withheld without permission. ”

After the herald went down, the soldiers in the city received the order to immediately adjust the defensive line and began to go out of the city in batches to hand over their personal belongings to the logistics personnel to take care of.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the army entered the city again, and this time it no longer fought with these rats in the streets, but instead searched house by house, and as long as they did not surrender, they were all killed on the spot, so that the progress was much faster.

Shizuoka Prefecture was not very big, so in one afternoon, half of the county was taken, during which the Japanese tried to be desperately beaten back, and tried to break through but failed, and when it was almost sunset, the Japanese began to be active again, trying to rely on the night to resist stubbornly and wait for reinforcements.

However, Zhang San didn't have the patience to play slowly with them, watching the sky gradually darken, Zhang San ordered all the soldiers in the city to withdraw and withdraw to the city wall to standby, and Zhang San's fleet waited until the soldiers were withdrawn, and two rounds of fire and oil bombs came to salvo.

Looking at the burning Shizuoka Zhang San nodded with satisfaction, this is the end of resistance, half a month later, the new 20,000 people arrived on Zhenhai Island, Zhang San began to design how to destroy the plan of the sub-point garrison of the Wa Kingdom.

Originally, according to Zhang San's plan, it was to concentrate 60,000 troops to attack the 40,000 garrisons in Hiroshima, and then draw in reinforcements from the troops stationed in Kyoto, and when the troops in Kyoto arrived in Hiroshima, they would send elite troops to set fire to Kyoto and set him on fire.

However, the plan of the General Staff was to concentrate a large army to deal a heavy blow to the Hiroshima garrison, and then send a small number of men to besiege it, and when the reinforcements from Kyoto arrived, send elite troops to set fire to Kyoto, and make the illusion of attacking Kyoto, forcing the reinforcements from Kyoto who had just arrived in Hiroshima to return to Kyoto, and then annihilate them in a battle on the way.

That's right, this is a simple plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, Zhang San knows that the Wa Kingdom has learned a lot from the Han people, and it is impossible for them not to know such a bad strategy, if they are discovered, they will not be busy in vain.

However, the staff officers did not think so, the first Ryukyu had always relied on the superiority of the navy to attack the Wakoku, so the Wakyus never thought that the Ryukyus would want to defeat his main force, and the second was that the Ryukyu Army had never dispatched a large-scale army, and even in the Battle of Shizuoka just now, only 20,000 troops were dispatched.

Therefore, the Japanese will definitely think that we only have 20,000 or 30,000 troops in our hands, and this time we can attack Hiroshima with 30,000 troops, force the Hiroshima garrison inland, and then force it to go to Kyoto for help.

Zhang San thought about it again and asked, "What if the Kyoto reinforcements of the Wa Kingdom do not send out or do not send much?" ”

The staff officers felt: "If our 30,000 men show great combat power, and then make a posture of operating here for a long time, it is impossible for the Japanese state not to move, if he sends fewer people, we will annihilate their reinforcements, and if there are many people, we will act according to the plan." ”

Zhang San summoned several battalion commanders urgently, and Zhao Yunlong asked, "What if several departments of the Japanese Kingdom come together to reinforce, or if their reinforcement speed is slow?" ”

The staff officers said the third plan, if several units were reinforced together, they would be annihilated during the movement of several divisions, so that at least two of them could be annihilated when each department returned to help, and with the addition of Hiroshima's group, then the three parts of 120,000 men would be annihilated, and there would be no plan for divisional defense.
