Chapter 597: Pre-War Arrangement

In the eyes of Ishida Hedao, Zhao Hongyu and these foreigners are big brains.

actually used an iron cannon as the main battle weapon, this is not brain-dead.

Even though these foreigners can use the three-stage iron cannon combat technique, they are not worried at all.

They all thought that each other's iron cannons, both in terms of loading, firing, and mass and craftsmanship, were the same as those they used.

If it's such an iron cannon, then what is there to worry about.

Hehe, there aren't many opportunities like this, it's just the battle feats sent by Amaterasu.

With Ishida's order, all the generals responded in unison, and then the army began to march towards the Osaka commercial town, which had been reduced to ruins.

Ishida looked at the mighty and majestic army, and he was secretly proud in his heart.

In his opinion, those foreigners are a failure, and there will definitely be no second way.

When he had defeated the foreigners, he would send someone to the shogunate to report his victory.

Hmph, at that time, he Ishida will be very famous.

Let's see who dares to underestimate themselves and say that they are a soft-footed shrimp.

In addition to Ishida Aido, the generals who went out with the army were also very excited.

They are so excited because they can get the merit.

With military exploits, if you don't say anything else, you can be promoted by one level if you don't manage your official position.

The worst can also be mixed with rewards.

You must know that the samurai class in the Wa Kingdom is no longer as glamorous as it was in the Warring States Period, and some samurai families seem to be very glamorous, but in fact, the inside is rotten.

There were even samurai families who couldn't even get enough to eat.

There is no other reason than because it is now a time of peace.

These foreigners who appear now, in their eyes, are all '$_$' and are rewards, so how can they not be excited.

Not only the generals were excited, but even the Ashigaru and Hachimoto samurai, as well as the cavalry and militiamen, felt that this battle would be won. After this battle, they will all gain some benefits.

As for failure, they didn't even think about it.

How could it fail, this is their home field, the territory of Amaterasu.

Those foreigners who don't know where they come from, no matter how powerful they are in their hometown, but when they come to this place, they have to look at their faces.

According to the saying of the Ming Dynasty, that is, 'you have to coil if it is a dragon, and you have to nest if it is a tiger'.

So, this is the march. Ishida Aido and his men and the army were very relaxed.

God is pitiful, they don't know what kind of existence they have to face, and they don't know what kind of means their enemies have.

This is also doomed to the end of Ishida Hedao's tragedy, and this tragedy will come soon.

"Report!"

Several fast horses burst out of the darkness and rushed into the camp.

The scouts who had been sent out earlier had already returned to the camp at this time.

The Ishida Hedo army advanced with such fanfare, and there was no possibility of concealing it.

So, it was discovered by the scouts in the first place.

"Your Highness, the army of Japanese people has been found on the east side. The number is around 4,000 to 5,000 and is advancing towards us. It is expected that we will arrive at the small plain outside my camp at midnight, and I ask Your Highness to decide. ”

As soon as the scouts entered the camp, they reported the news.

Originally. At this time, Zhao Hongyu was already resting, but after hearing the news, he immediately dressed up and came to the camp.

Sitting on the main seat, Zhao Hongyu looked serious: "I can see it really." ”

The scout knelt on the ground and bowed his head: "There can be no mistake. The subordinates really saw it. ”

Zhao Hongyu asked again: "Have you ever seen the composition of the opponent's military force in detail?" ”

The scout replied, "Ashigaru is the majority, and there are hundreds of banners and guards, as well as hundreds of cavalry. The rest are militias with bamboo guns. ”

"Leave three hundred people and Liu Da Scar to guard the camp, and order five hundred Praetorian Guards and three hundred and eight banner soldiers to go with me to fight." After listening to the report, Zhao Hongyu immediately made a decision.

Since the other party will come here at midnight, it is impossible for him to let the other party wait until dawn.

And if you attack while the opponent is not on a firm foothold, the odds of victory will be greatly improved.

Field warfare is the strength of the American armies.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, but the army of the Japanese has arrived."

When the scout was ordered out of the camp, Wang Fuzi also got the news at this time and ran all the way over.

Before the man could come in, his voice came first.

Then, Wang Fuzi walked into the big tent.

After seeing Master Wang, Zhao Hongyu put away his serious expression and put on a very casual and relaxed look.

"Master, you just have a good rest at such a late hour, these widows may be forwards, don't be too nervous."

Wang Fuzi walked over quickly and arched his hand at Zhao Hongyu.

"Your Highness, don't say that, there is no sloppiness in the battle array, Xiao Lao'er doesn't know how His Highness Lu Dao will arrange to deal with it?"

Compared with Zhao Hongyu's ease, Wang Fuzi was a little nervous.

After all, the soldiers that Zhao Hongyu arranged in the camp on the shore were only 800 Praetorian Guards and 300 European Eight Banner minions, even if Liu Da Scar and their more than 100 people were added, this was only a little more than 1,200 people.

It is very unrealistic for an army of more than 1,200 people to confront the Japanese people on the land of the Japanese state.

At least, in the eyes of Master Wang.

Zhao Hongyu smiled, and at the same time walked towards the outside of the camp with Wang Fuzi.

At this time, outside the camp, the soldiers had already begun to run and shout in formation, making preparations for the battle.

The genetic people who were ready to meet the enemy with Zhao Hongyu lined up in the camp one by one with solemn faces, and the three hundred European Eight Banners were also ready, and they were waiting for the order with an excited look.

In the watchtower and fence of the makeshift camp, the Genetics soldiers lit torches and placed their muskets on the battlements.

More than a dozen genetics began to light small fires in the open space outside the camp.

"The scouts say that the Japanese will reach the little plain outside before midnight, and I am prepared to attack and crush them in one fell swoop while they are on their footing. These people are so bold. I'll march in the evening, and I'll be an idiot if I miss this opportunity. ”

Zhao Hongyu told Wang Fuzi his plan.

"Your Highness, is it a bit risky to do this, it is dangerous to fight in the wilderness at midnight. Moreover, the war is very fierce, Your Highness is still cautious, it is better for us to stick to the camp and wait until dawn. ”

Wang Fuzi's consideration and scruples are also normal, after all, the Japanese people crisscrossed the coast of the Ming Dynasty decades ago, but brought boundless suffering to the Ming Dynasty.

And the combat effectiveness of the Japanese at that time also opened the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time. Often a dozen Japanese robbers can capture a county seat, which is something that is really unimaginable.

But such a thing is real.

Of course, it is also an indisputable fact that the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at that time was low.

Moreover, if the people's hearts are weak, it will become inevitable that they can't defeat the Japanese invaders.

It's just that it's still a big surprise to let a dozen Japanese robbers capture a small county town with tens of thousands of people.

You must know that tens of thousands of people went up and foamed at the mouth. That can also say that the Japanese are drowning.

But not only did they not die, but they also captured the county seat.

This has to be said to be a real piece of world news.

It is precisely because of this that the fighting power and wave warfare ability of the Japanese were looked down upon by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

This is how the king thinks.

He thinks. Although the Japanese sailors are not as good as His Royal Highness the Prince, they are very powerful.

This is not his nonsense, but there are facts.

Therefore, Wang Fuzi thought that he would go out at night to fight with the Japanese people in the wild. That's a bad move, it's a stupid move.

Moreover, the opponent has more people than his own, so he fights against the Japanese in such a situation. It is a very unwise choice.

The safest way is to stay in the camp and wait until dawn to find an opportunity to fight.

This is also because Wang Fuzi does not know about the combat effectiveness of Zhao Hongyu and the soldiers under his command, if he knew the achievements of the American Legion in the past two years, then he would not have such thoughts.

It is estimated that he will still take the initiative to fight with his feet jumping and shouting.

"Master is too worried, I don't go out to find death, the reason why I take the initiative to fight is because I have the confidence to win. As for what he was doing, he couldn't say a word or two, so I asked the master to stay in the camp and watch, and in less than an hour I would be able to defeat the vanguard of the widows. ”

Master Wang really didn't know where the confidence of His Royal Highness came from, how could he boast of such a sea mouth.

It's just too much of a joke to defeat the Japanese people in an hour.

This is a real widow, not a fake widow among those pirates, this is a real murderer.

Besides, this is still in the country of other people's people, on other people's territory.

Oh my god.

Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's confidence so great, and what is it for?

"Your Highness, listen to the words of the little old man, it is safest for us to stick to the camp."

Master Wang continued to persuade unwillingly.

His mind is not bad, and his advice is correct.

It's just that he really doesn't know about the military strength of the Song Empire in the Americas.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Fuzi anxiously persuading himself, and he was not angry.

No matter what, people's starting point is also for his good, Zhao Hongyu still understands this.

"In this way, the master will stay in the camp and hold on, if I see that I can't disobey the army, I will lead the army back, and then it will be up to you, master."

After the end, Zhao Hongyu found a compromise and finally persuaded Master Wang.

Seeing that Zhao Hongyu had made up his mind, Master Wang knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't change it, and he had no choice but to accept Zhao Hongyu's method. (To be continued......)
