Cao Wenzhao's words made the meeting conclusive!

Lu Xiangsheng also agreed with Cao Wenzhao's view.

Cao Wenzhao stood up, "Holy Divine Oracle!" ”

All the officers knelt down: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Cao Wenzhao: "Everyone is on the table now, tomorrow it will be zero point, and the whole line will advance ten kilometers!" Prepare for a decisive battle against the Wakos! ”

All officers: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Cao Wenzhao nodded: "The meeting is dismissed!" ”

The officers got up from the ground, put on their hats and left, and hurried back to their respective units to prepare.

While the Ming army was preparing, Abe Tadaaki and the Japanese were also preparing.

Abe Tadaaki had even begun to prepare a day in advance, it seems that it is not that Cao Wenzhao estimated the Japanese too radically, but that the Japanese will be more radical than Cao Wenzhao envisioned, if it is according to Lu Xiangsheng's inference, if it is delayed for another half a month and a month, let alone take the initiative, it may not be said when the Japanese will suddenly break through the defense line.

The choice of the timing of the war is very important for an excellent commander, just like speculating in stocks, one day is missing, maybe one spring is missing. A day early, sometimes it can feel like a winter early, but how many people can really do it not early or late, so wonderful?

Tadaaki Abe did it!

Just four hours before Cao Wenzhao ordered the whole line to attack, the Japanese attacked!

This is a very favorable time for the Japanese, because the Ming army is making pre-war arrangements, when the camp is not moving, the defense is relatively tight, if the army is moving, the defense will be more concentrated, but when the army is making the final pre-war preparations. For an army, this is the time of the most laxity.

The 10-way shogunate army attacked on all fronts, and Tokugawa Iemitsu's headquarters remained in the center.

Abe Tadaaki's plan was to directly storm Hakodate, open the gap, and use the attack from all sides to cut off the layers of encirclement of the Ming army. Destroy the supply lines of the Ming army and burn down the temporary granaries near the forward positions! Even snatching food.

Abe's ultimate goal was to get two or three large armies to break out of the encirclement and fight to the Honshu Island area south of Hakodate, and the north and south responded to completely smash the encirclement of the Ming army.

Abe Tadaaki's idea is very bold and very reasonable, Cao Wenzhao had conceived this idea of the Japanese in advance, but Cao Wenzhao underestimated the explosive power of the Japanese at the last moment, even if he was hungry for two or three months. can only live on the bark of wild vegetables, and without edible salt, the state of the Japanese when they are desperate still makes all the Ming soldiers a very valuable lesson.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen planned to let Cao Wenzhao replace Hong Chengchou, and Zhu Youzhen still couldn't let go of Hong Chengchou in his heart, which could not be changed, because of what happened in the original history. It is impossible for Zhu Youzhen to act as if nothing happened, and those things that happened. They can only exist in the memory of the emperor forever, and no one can change them.

Zhu Youzhen believes that Cao Wenzhao's thinking is close to his own, and as long as Cao Wenzhao has half of Hong Chengchou's strategic vision and tactical level, he can replace Hong Chengchou.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen's requirements for Cao Wenzhao are not high, and it doesn't matter if his strategic vision is poor, because there is a staff headquarters. Zhu Youzhen only hoped that Cao Wenzhao could fight two beautiful battles when he carried out specific tactics. corrected Cao Wenzhao's name and lived up to his expectations.

A regiment under Cao Wenzhao's command is stuck in the direction from Tsuizawa to Hakodate! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was also in this regiment.

About four hours before Cao Wenzhao ordered the whole line to attack, it was more than seven o'clock. It was already dark, and the Ming army had just had dinner and was packing up their things to prepare for the overall operation at night!

Hong Chengchou: "Your Majesty, this army is about to move forward, let's go back to the box house." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Cao Wenzhao decided to do it tonight?" ”

Hong Chengchou: "Yes, there is one thing, Weichen thinks that he should talk to the emperor, Cao Wenzhao only stationed one battalion of troops in Hakokan, and Cao Wenzhao even transferred two battalions of the emperor's guard regiment to the front line." The remaining battalion is still a battalion responsible for connecting with the logistics troops, and it is somewhat underestimated by the enemy. Moreover, with a battalion, it is not only responsible for the defense of Hakodate, but also for patrolling. Liangshan is only suitable for defending the people of the past, if the Japanese break through from Liangshan, it is not conducive to Liangshan as a defensive area, and, the castle of Hakodate is too small, the city wall is too short, the Japanese horses should eat almost, but as long as you gather 200 horses to raid Hakodate, it is possible to rush out in one fell swoop, if the Japanese break through the Hakodate defense line and go to Honshu Island, it is a plain, which will cause great losses to my Ming soldiers and civilians. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen groaned, did not express his opinion, and looked at the map, "Cao Wenzhao is so desperate, he wants to send all his men and horses to the inner line to fight to the death with the Japanese!" He didn't think that the Japanese would jump out of the encirclement, if the Japanese broke through the encirclement, it would indeed be a big trouble, there was something wrong with this deployment, Cao Wenzhao had already sent all the orders? Didn't you go through your staff? ”

Hong Chengchou: "He showed us a copy of the meeting after the fact, explaining that he was afraid that the time would be missed, and he was also afraid that if it took a long time, the news would leak out, and he wanted to finish the battle." I'm not worried about the Japanese rushing through the encirclement, I'm worried about the materials of Hakodate and the safety of the emperor and queen, if the Japanese are allowed to kill Hakodate Castle, a fire can make the entire Ming army and people in Japan unable to survive this winter. After all, it is the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops, and such a large amount of grain and grass, it will be very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to collect and transport. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen groaned, it is too late to change it now, because Cao Wenzhao's order was issued as a whole as a combat order, and it will affect the whole body! After the commander's order is issued, if he forcibly intervenes as the emperor, it will definitely have a worse effect, and if he stops this battle plan halfway, it will have a very bad impact on the morale of the Ming army.

Of course, Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen knew very well what Hong Chengchou said, otherwise he would not have forcibly dismantled more than 100,000 troops during the war, so that these soldiers could recover and join Japan's local construction.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Change now." It's too late, two battalions from this regiment will be transferred, let them use only one battalion tonight to carry out Cao Wenzhao's plan, and the other two battalions will retreat to the Liangshan Gorge as a reserve! Cao Wenzhao is still too arbitrary in the war, how can he press it all. Not even a reserve? ”

Hong Chengchou: "I'll immediately issue a long-live holy message, Cao Wenzhao is too bold to do this, but this is also the reason why Cao Wenzhao can often play the momentum that other generals can't beat, he takes his command center as the vanguard of breaking the enemy every time, and when the war starts, the people below must kill him to the enemy's hinterland." Once it was glued to Cao Wenzhao's army, I had never heard of anyone surviving. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that it would be good if Cao Wenzhao and Hong Chengchou were merged, after all, Hong Chengchou was still better than Cao Wenzhao in terms of strategy and tactical command, but Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was emotionally speaking. I like Cao Wenzhao even more.

While the two of them were talking, it was too late!

There was a rush of shouts outside. The Japanese are coming!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen frowned! Yang Qicong and a group of armed eunuchs in Xichang immediately held the submachine gun that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen had obtained from modern times and protected him in front of the emperor!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen: "What? The Japanese are attacking? ”

Hong Chengchou said nervously: "It must be!" The timing of the battle chosen by Tadaaki Abe is quite fatal! ”

Zhu Youzhen frowned, "Don't say it, go and take a look!" ”

The regiment commander under Cao Wenzhao is a general who has experienced a hundred battles, otherwise Cao Wenzhao would not have let the emperor come to this regiment to observe.

Regiment Commander: "There are too many devils, I'm afraid there are 20,000 Japanese rushing up!" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said according to the head of the regiment. After a visual inspection, it seems that there are not so many, "There are not so many, right?" ”

Regiment Commander: "Your Majesty, you quickly retreat, there are the last generals here to resist." 20,000 people, only a lot more, Weichen has been fighting for a long time and has practiced a listening ability. ”

Hong Chengchou also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, withdraw first, here they are on top, and the dragon body of the saint is more important than anything else." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen: "Okay, I will withdraw immediately, there are people from Xichang to follow, and good horses, the Japanese can't catch up with me no matter what, and I don't believe that you will be attacked by the Japanese!" I want to see what the Japanese do to break through your defenses!? ”

The regiment commander said that 20,000 was too little, and Abe's goal was in the direction of Hakodate, and in this direction, three armies were mobilized, totaling more than 30,000 people, and they were the main force in the shogunate army! All of them were mobilized by Abe Tadaaki, Abe Tadaaki planned to break out of the encirclement by himself, and then occupy Hakodate Castle, it is best to kill the Ming Emperor, if he can't kill the Ming Emperor, he will hold Hakodate Castle, and join the entire Japanese army to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army near Hakodate Castle!

More than 20,000 shogunate samurai legions outflanked and attacked from both flanks, and the momentum was very violent, and the arquebuses in the hands of the shogunate samurai were not fired, and people kept falling, one by one, as if they were not afraid of death!

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was surprised, if you want to talk about not being afraid of death, it is indeed the Japanese who are more cheating.

What are they going to do?

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen immediately had the answer, and when a Japanese approached the position of the Ming army with an arquebus, he suddenly ignited the barrel with fire and jumped in!

Bang!

The barrel of the man's hand exploded!

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen admired the creativity of the Japanese very much, this is to use the arquebus as a blasting tube?

Yang Qicong blocked in front of the emperor, although there was a distance away, but Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen still felt the power of the blast, and it seemed that there was a stream of air rushing over! Seven or eight people were killed on the spot in the Ming camp!

The regimental commander commanded: "Don't save bullets!" Don't let the pirates approach the trenches! ”

Hong Chengchou knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese slaves are powerful, hurry up and withdraw!" The holy dragon body matters. ”

Zhu Youzhen: "Hurry up and report to Cao Wenzhao, immediately adjust the deployment, and let people support this regiment, Abe Zhongqiu is going to use this regiment as a breakthrough!" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen now admires this Abe Zhongqiu very much, not only creative, but also very good at choosing the battlefield, this regiment is famous, has made countless achievements, in the jackal, tiger and leopard general Ming Second Army is the main force, but also the main force of the main force of the Ming Dynasty, Abe Zhongqiu chose this regiment as the main attack, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen believes that with Cao Wenzhao's personality, he will definitely not leave a back hand to make preparations to support such a regiment!

Hong Chengchou quickly conveyed the emperor's order, turned around and knelt down: "Your Majesty, please withdraw quickly!" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen heard that Hong Chengchou had conveyed the order, and his heart relaxed a little, "Don't rush, I heard it, I will step back a little, look at it for a while and then leave." ”

Hong Chengchou saw that the emperor still refused to retreat, so he had to retreat a hundred meters and accompanied Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to observe the battlefield situation in a slightly higher place.
