Chapter 616: Shimazu's long-standing plan

Shimazu shook his head for a long time and said: "Lord Wang, I still don't see how Lord Wang can break through the obstacles of His Excellency Fukuda and His Excellency Otomo, they can force the prince's army back on the middle of the sea road, can't they do it on the shore?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Okay, we'll wait and see." ”

Seeing that the tide was about to rise, Fukuda Kaneshige's army was unwilling to go back, and under the personal leadership of Fukuda Kanemitsu, they used all their remaining forces to launch a series of attacks, and the exhausted Goryeo army almost collapsed several times.

At this last moment, Jin Fangqing could not let Futian succeed, and hurriedly led his own soldiers to supervise the army from behind, so as to finally stabilize his position.

When Fukuda Kanemitsu saw Jin Fangqing coming in person, he was red-eyed, and he desperately tried to rush to Jin Fangqing's eyes several times, but he was blocked by the Goryeo army.

The water was knee-high, and the Goryeo army under Kim Fangqing's command finally heard the sound of the retreat, and the Japanese army had to return to the shore. There are hundreds of floating corpses on the sea, which is unbearable.

When the Goryeo army returned to the island, they were all slumped on the beach. The three-day bloody battle almost exhausted their mental strength and courage, and no one mentioned the pride before the war, and finally, they survived temporarily!

Cheng Yue called and said: "Xindu, Hong Chaqiu, Liu Fuheng, the three of you come here." ”

The three of them hurriedly stepped forward and obeyed Cheng Yue's orders.

Cheng Yue said: "From tomorrow, the three of you will be responsible for protecting Haizhong Road, and the craftsmen will never allow any deaths and injuries, do you understand?" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Yue said again: "Also, if you don't count today, I think in two days, the road can be repaired to the shore of Kyushu, and the Japanese will definitely use all means to stop it." If you can't stand it. I'll send someone to help you at any time. ”

The three of them didn't dare to hold it up at this time. Xin Du said: "We will fight to the death, but if we can't do it, please forgive the prince." ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "Are you afraid that I will blame you?" I'm not that interested. Work hard, and let me see how your reputation for good fighting has come about. ”

The three of them saluted in unison and said, "Yes!" "I bowed very low.

Fukuda Kaneseshige, Fukuda Kanemitsu, Otomo Yoritai, and Otomo came to the Hongrokan as scheduled, and Fujiwara Keizai saw that they were sullen and asked, "Your Excellency Fukuda, Your Excellency Otomo, isn't the war going well?" ”

Fukuda Kanese sighed: "Cheng Yue's road is getting closer and closer. It seems that it will be repaired in three days, and on the morning of the fourth day at the most, we will have to fight them on the shore. It's hard to say whether it will be blocked at that time. ”

Fujiwara was taken aback and said, "So fast? Can building roads in the sea be like this? ”

Fukuda Kaneshiro said: "The craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty are really amazing, they are repaired quickly and well, and we have never seen many tools, which are much stronger than our Japanese ones." When we repaired the fortifications, it took half a year to complete the repair, if it was replaced by the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty. I think two months is enough. ”

Fujiwara Jingzi muttered: "In this way, we have to decide now how to deal with Cheng Yue in three days. What do you think? ”

As soon as Fujiwara's voice fell, everyone suddenly fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Hojo Somasa took the lead in speaking: "I thought that we should do everything we could to prevent Cheng Yue from going ashore, but if we still can't succeed, we should defend the mountains, especially Akasaka Mountain." It was difficult for Cheng Yue's brigade to march along the ridge, and after bypassing the fortifications, only by capturing Akasaka Mountain could they take the avenue to attack Dazaifu, and the Mongol cavalry would be useful. ”

Fujiwara said: "Last time, the Mongols took Akasaka Mountain first, and this time will certainly be no exception. ”

Fujiwara Keiji immediately said, "Yes, although they tried their best to take Mt. Akasaka last time, the troops who arrived from all over the country blocked all the roads leading to Mt. Akasaka to Dazaifu, making them afraid of being surrounded by us, so they finally had to retreat. This time, Cheng Yue must have thought that he had enough soldiers and enough food to break through our encirclement, and I thought that the decisive place for this battle was still in Akasaka Mountain! ”

Shimazu said viciously: "Trap Cheng Yue to death in Akasaka Mountain, I will cut off his head!" ”

Fujiwara raised his eyebrows and said, "Trap him?" ”

Shimazu said, "Exactly. We occupy Mt. Akasaka, and we can't stop Cheng Yue's cavalry from attacking Dazaifu, so we should occupy the road under Mt. Akasaka. Cheng Yue must need Mt. Akasaka as a foothold in order to march to Dazaifu, so we might as well pretend to resist, give him Mt. Akasaka, and then surround him with all our forces. As long as we can block the way for the Mongols to enter the army, and then besiege Cheng Yue day and night, with our superior combat power, Cheng Yue will inevitably be constantly weakened, and when we kill Cheng Yue, the thief soldiers will be completely defeated! ”

"Good!" The crowd couldn't help but applaud!

Fujiwara Keizai lowered his head and thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't think of anything wrong with this strategy, so he raised his head again and said, "Since this is the case, you should prepare like this." ”

Everyone said in unison, "Yes." ”

Fujiwara Keizo said: "Tomorrow, please ask Your Excellency Fukuda to fight them for another day." Starting the day after tomorrow, please lead your Kanto samurai to defend with Your Excellency Fukuda and Your Excellency Otomo, and strive to seal Cheng Yue in Shikashima. If we are really defeated and quickly retreat to the area around Mt. Akasaka, I will set the defense areas for which each army is responsible tomorrow and carry out His Excellency Shimazu's plan. ”

"Yes!"

On the fourth day, Cheng Yue still came to the mountain early to watch the battle. The difference is that today Jin Fangqing and other Goryeo generals can sit next to Cheng Yue next to him, and the next ones who are going to desperately exchange with the Japanese are the three Mongolian generals in Goryeo.

Cheng Yue saw that Pu Qiu, Jin Zhouding and Han Xiyu were all injured, smiled slightly, and said, "Does the injury on the body matter?" Can you still fight? ”

The three of them immediately straightened their chests, and Pu Qiu said loudly: "Back to the prince, the last general can fight at any time!" ”

Cheng Yue gave a thumbs up approvingly and said, "You have played well in the past three days, and I am proud of you." ”

Cheng Yue didn't say anything, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Jin Fangqing and other generals were even more ashamed. Having been beaten by the Japanese several times and almost collapsed, what is there to boast about?

Cheng Yue said: "Your weapons and training are not as good as the Japanese army, it's already good to fight like this, don't blame yourself too much." ”

Jin Fangqing said: "Lord Wang, the subordinates originally wanted to rush to Kyushu and make a contribution to the prince, but they failed to achieve it, and they are really ashamed of the prince." ”

Cheng Yue looked at Haizhong Road and said leisurely: "The meritorious service is still behind, don't worry." ”

On both sides of Haizhong Road, Fukuda Kanese and Xin both confronted each other, and they couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Fukuda Kaneshiro pointed to Xindu, who was waving the Mongolian flag in the distance, and said, "Your Excellency Otomo, is it replaced by a Mongolian on the other side?" They were all Koreans for the first two days, right? (To be continued.) )
