When Todeltay decided to defend the city of Jinzhou, a Japanese officer hurriedly rushed into Mitsui's headquarters and delivered a telegram to the supreme commander of the front.

Mitsui Takanomiya did not delay for a moment, and directly opened the folded telegram and looked at the contents inside. The more he looked at him, the more frightened he became, and when he saw that in the end, he didn't even have the strength to curse loudly, but only shook his body slightly, and supported the table next to him with his hands, barely falling down.

Then he looked at Jiro Yamaguchi beside him and said reluctantly, "Yamaguchi-kun, let's ...... Our loyal warriors of the 2,000 Empire deployed in Dawa were completely annihilated by the troops of the Ming Empire. ”

"What?" Jiro Yamaguchi, who heard the news, was shocked, and quickly grabbed the telegram and studied it carefully. He knew that there were not only 2,000 Japanese soldiers in Dawa, and the reason why he suggested that Mitsui Takanomiya leave 2,000 people in Dawa was to monitor the tens of thousands of Jinguo soldiers who were also in Dawa.

The person who was even more shocked was not Jiro Yamaguchi at this time, but Todeltai, who also knew the details of his arrangement. He was not in the mood to care about the 2,000 people in Japan who did not feel pain, he heard it in his ears, but there was a problem with Dawa - there were more than 40,000 people in Jinguo, how could there be a problem?

Before he could ask, Jiro Yamaguchi handed the telegram to Todel Tay, and asked in a very harsh voice, "How is that possible?" But your country has deployed more than 40,000 people there, and if you don't hold it for a day, you will lose the big depression? Even if there are 40,000 pigs, the Ming army will kill them for a few days, right? ”

This is a bit heart-wrenching, and Todeltay also wants to know how the whole 40,000 people led by Ye He Hao Zhan were successfully attacked by the Ming army without a single news being transmitted. He even wanted to get up and rush back to his headquarters in person to see if there was any more definite news coming.

In fact, Ye Hehao was not completely annihilated, his troops were now being routed in the direction of Haicheng Anshan, and after collecting the rout, he found that he could still muster at least 25,000 troops in his hands.

This actually had something to do with the fact that the new army troops did not have enough troops to pursue him, and he was able to retreat calmly because Guo Xing did not pursue him deeply. A small number of pursuing troops were sent in the direction of Panjin, and who knew that he fled in the other direction for fear that Todel Tay would punish him for his felony.

"General! Checkmate! The troops under the command of Ye Hehao Zhan, the defenders of Dawa, were defeated by the Ming army! Ye Hehao Zhan was nowhere to be found, and it only took an hour for the Ming army to occupy the county town of Dawa...... "Before Todeltay could get up and go back to his headquarters, his men had already brought the news over. As soon as the people who came entered the door, they shouted out the news of the rout at the front.

Todeltai had just lost about 20,000 troops under Jinzhou City, but now he heard that Dawa was also caught off guard, so he immediately turned around and looked at Mitsui Takanomiya and the others: "General Mitsui!" Now I can only return to the army and fight to the death with the Ming army in Dawa! ”

Hearing this suggestion, the muscles on Mitsui Takanomiya's face twitched, and he also had his own plans, after all, this war was not only related to Japan's future, but also related to his personal career - there must be no accidents in this war, after all, Japan is a small country that cannot afford to lose.

Attacking the Ming Army's tightly guarded Dawa was like a nightmare for the Japanese Army, and if it was reluctantly ordered, it would only increase the number of casualties. After a little calculation, Mitsui Takanomiya knew that if he went south to attack Dawa, then the Ming army in Jinzhou would attack Panjin.

If there was any more accident in Panjin, his troops would be surrounded in the field by the Ming army...... Not to mention impossible, the example of Dawa is still in sight, and these Jin soldiers are not as reliable as the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire. When Mitsui Takanomiya thought of this, he felt that going south was no different from committing suicide.

"General Todeltai, I also agree that we should return to the army to recapture Dawa now, but Panjin is our foundation, and we can't take it lightly, I, Mitsui Takagong, am willing to lead the Japanese soldiers to guard Panjin for the general, and when the general you recapture Dawa, the Ming army will not have to worry!" He thought for a moment before he spoke, and said a battle plan that he was comfortable with.

Hearing that the Japanese had allowed themselves to ram the Ming army's fortified defensive positions again, Todeltay frowned, his troops had just experienced losses, and it seemed that the morale and morale of the army were unusable to attack the enemy's fortified areas at this time. What annoyed him even more was that most of the troops in his hands were now scattered everywhere, and he couldn't make a fist in a short period of time, rewriting the current battle situation.

"The Ming army from the direction of Jinzhou can really have nearly 70,000 people?" Mitsui still seemed to have some disbelief in Deltai's words, and asked such a sentence. Zhang Baiting made a lot of money at that time, and he found out that the Ming Empire's troops in the northern region were slightly empty. As a result, the strength of the enemy troops discovered by the Japanese army from the battle has exceeded the original estimate.

"No more, no less...... The new army has at least 50,000 people, as well as Feng Pingzhang's 29th Army. There are not 100,000 people in total, but there are 60,000 or 70,000, right? Todel Thou could only rely on his own feelings at this moment to analyze: "The number of Ming troops near Dawa can't be too small, otherwise they won't crush the army we left there in one go, right?" ”

Hearing Todeltay's analysis, Mitsui Takanomiya also felt that this was indeed the case, and then he set his eyes on the map, and finally spoke: "The two forces of the Ming Dynasty have a combined number of at least about 120,000...... If we are entangled by them, and then drag it until the follow-up troops of the Ming Empire arrive, we will definitely be defeated. ”

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the map with his hand and suggested: "The navy of the Ming Empire can also threaten us near Panjin, so it is better to abandon Panjin and gather troops to Tai'an...... Build a fortification there at once and use strong fortifications to keep the fruits of victory! ”

"Hiss ......" abandoned Panjin, this move is really not bad, retreat to the inland and not be afraid of the harassment of the Ming Water Division, you can build a defense line with peace of mind, and when the army of the Ming Empire arrives, their defense line will be stable, and the Fengtian and other places that are swallowed into the belly can be regarded as preserved.

Thinking of this, he couldn't bear to look at the important town of Panjin on the map, and after hesitating for a few seconds, Todeltai made up his mind to return to Tai'an: "Leave 10,000 people to defend Panjin, and the rest of the troops retreat to Tai'an!" ”
