Chapter 1157: The Great Battle of Kyushu Begins!
In Fukuoka Castle, the rested Xia army, under the order of Bai Qi, began to march towards Iwaya Castle, where the Japanese army gathered, opening the prelude to the Great Battle of Kyushu!
In the battle of the Yuankou fortification, the Xia army took the initiative to attack, and in the battle of Iwaya Castle, the Xia army, which was originally the attacker, began to counterattack because of the disadvantage of troops, and launched the Battle of Fukuoka Castle.
When the teleportation array at Fukuoka Castle was opened and reinforcements arrived, the Xia army reorganized the offensive.
As long as the Japanese army of Iwaya Castle is defeated and the island of Kyushu is occupied, it is only a matter of course.
Bai Qi officially revealed his identity as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses on the East Road, which made the Japanese army in Iwaya City tremble.
People slaughtered Baiqi, and they were actually sent by Emperor Xia to conquer the four islands of Dongying, instead of participating in the Eastern Crusade!
Bai Qi's identity made many Dongying players frightened.
This is the Battle of Changping, and the people who killed 400,000 Zhao troops were slaughtered!
Thousands of dragon banners of the Xia army set out from Fukuoka Castle, and the troops were divided into three routes, occupying almost the entire Hakata Bay, and encircling the Japanese army of Iwaya Castle!
This time, Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Le Yi, the three real god generals, served as the main generals of the three-way soldiers and horses!
Zhou Yu and Lu Xun are still inferior to the three of them in land warfare.
Countless elite soldiers and horses have left Fukuoka Castle!
The crown prince Chu Wu still stubbornly insisted on fighting on the east road.
Oda Nobunaga and other daimyo knew that the crown prince of the Bactria Dynasty was on the East Road, however, the East Road made the Daimyo of the East Ying suffer many times.
Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Le Yi attacked in three ways, cooperating with each other, if Oda Nobunaga concentrated his forces to attack the east road, then the middle and west roads were driven straight into by the Xia army, and Iwaya Castle would also be lost.
On Xia Jun's side, Bai Qiju Middle Road, Yue Fei East Road, and Leyi West Road went south in a big way, pointing directly at Yanwu City.
Chu Wu is only the supreme commander of the Xia army in name, but in fact, Bai Qi coordinates the overall situation, and the specific battle depends on Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Le Yi's respective performances.
The further south you go, the tighter the terrain becomes, and the three lines of soldiers and horses will converge at Iwaya Castle and use Bai Qi's siege ability to pull out Iwaya Castle.
There is nothing unexpected about such a deployment, but it also means that there are not many flaws.
Oda Nobunaga had to resist the three-way soldiers and horses heading south.
Chu Wu was in Yue Fei's Eastern Route Army, and the Donggong Guard, which was supplemented by the Cowardly Xue Army, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the Savaran Heavy Cavalry, the Black Cloud Long Sword Army, the Tachibana Early Strike Girl, the Zhuge Crossbow Soldiers, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, was already extremely strong, and it was no longer the Donggong Guard that lacked elite soldiers in the Battle of Iwaya Castle and the Battle of Fukuoka City.
Although Chu Wu's troops belong to the East Palace Guards in terms of organization, their actual combat strength is no less than that of any legion.
Yue Fei had 8,000 Beiwei troops, Zhang Xian and Niu Gao, each with more than 10,000 Yue family troops.
In addition, the Huainan Army also has Tian Ji's elite "Qi Skill Attack".
Lu Su and Wen Yang are also among the soldiers and horses along the way.
The Huainan Army, during the Kyushu War, invested 150,000 troops!
Chu Wu's legion is still 50,000 people, plus Yue Fei's legion, a total of 200,000 troops, however, these 200,000 people, the actual combat power is very terrifying, because the proportion of elite troops is very high, more than one-fifth of the troops are high-level troops, which is higher than the proportion of one-tenth of the high-level troops of Dongying Daimyo.
In addition, the Tachibana family recruited 10,000 ashigaru on the spot in Fukuoka Castle as cannon fodder and joined the Eastern Route Army.
The Middle Route Army was personally commanded by Bai Qi, and the main force was the Fubo Army, with Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Chen Luan, Gan Ning, and Zheng Zhilong all on this road, using a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses.
With Bai Qi as the main general, after the Fubo army comes ashore, it can also get a high attack bonus.
The Western Route Army was commanded by Le Yi, and the main forces were the Liaodong Army and the Goryeo Army, Zhu Neng, Geng Yi, Li Chenggui, and Jiang Handzan all served under Le Yi at this time.
The Liaodong army had 150,000 troops, and during the construction of Fukuoka Castle, the Goryeo Kingdom transported 150,000 troops to Hakata Bay, so that the Goryeo army, which suffered heavy losses, was replenished, so that the strength of Li Sunggui's Goryeo army reached 200,000.
The Eastern Route Army, a total of 350,000!
Three-way soldiers and horses, a total of 860,000, known as 3 million to the outside world!
The soldiers and horses that are known to the outside world are naturally blown as much as possible, so that the other party cannot distinguish between fiction and reality.
"Your Highness, General Yue Fei has already sent Yang Zaixing as the vanguard, and our legion should also go south."
Zhuge Liang reminded Chu Wu to pull out the camp.
This time, Chu Wu's Donggong Guards no longer served as the vanguard, and Yue Fei asked Yang Zaixing, a fierce general who was good at being a vanguard, as the vanguard general who went south.
————
Zhuge Liang came to Chu Wu's camp and found that Lu Lingqi, the leader of the East Palace Guard, was helping Chu Wu rub his shoulders.
Let Lu Bu's daughter do the work of a maid......
This kind of card is estimated to be few people in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Chu Wu fooled Lu Lingqi and made Lu Lingqi think that rubbing the shoulders of the prince was also one of the duties of the East Palace Guard......
"This expedition will definitely set foot on Kyushu Island."
Chu Wu got up.
Finally, it was time for the decisive battle on Kyushu Island.
This time, he has his own exclusive high-level class.
The East Palace Guard has gradually grown into a powerful legion after being replenished by the imperial court without sparing any effort.
A few months ago, when Chu Wu was crusading against the Qinling bandits, he did not have his own troops, and even needed to borrow Gao Shun's trapping camp.
In the battle of the crusade against Kyushu Island, Chu Wu formed an exclusive guard of the East Palace, and the soldiers were strong and strong.
2,500 cowardly Xue troops assembled, Chu Wu rode Salu Zi, and Lu Lingqi took the Bingzhou wolf to ride and followed Chu Wu south.
"The Tachibana family, assemble!"
Tachibana Chiyo summoned 1,000 Tachibana Hayasaki women, as well as 10,000 Tachibana samurai and ashigaru of the Tachibana family, to participate in the Battle of Kyushu Island, and was the only daimyo to surrender.
Although this surrender was a bit reluctant, Tachibana Chiyo valued the existence of the family more.
Two retainers of the Tachibana family, Fuweishin and Ono Zhenyuki, joined the Tachibana family's servant army and led the samurai to fight against Ashigaru.
In fact, in addition to the 11,000 people of the Tachibana family, the lord of Hirado Castle, Taira Yoshimori, also sent 2,000 troops to help.
The Royal Boar, Yang Xingmi, and Zu Dashou took the replenished legions and marched south.
And Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying's crossbowmen are also a lot of combat power.
This time, in order to strengthen the continuous output ability of the crossbow soldiers, Zhuge Liang prepared a military vehicle full of crossbow arrows.
Huang Yueying whispered to Zhuge Liang: "It will take a while for the large Zhuge Repeater to be studied......
"Since it's a repeater for your ability research, why do you want to name it 'Zhuge '?"
“……”
Huang Yueying knew that Zhuge Liang deliberately teased herself, her pretty face flushed, and she didn't answer.
Chu Wu saw that although Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying had already formed a marriage, the two of them were still like glue, and couldn't help muttering: "The military advisor is proficient in male and female speech, and he doesn't teach me to ...... with one hand."
The Xia army claimed to be three million to the south, and Iwaya Castle, dozens of daimyo of the eastern and western kingdoms gathered together, and Oda Nobunaga sat in the first place, and the atmosphere was heavy.
If the Kyushu War was lost, almost all the land of the daimyo would be confiscated, and the reigu system would be replaced by the county system.
If you don't do it, the emperor will be gone.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, Uesugi Kennobu, Takeda Tadayoshi, Hojo Clanmasa, Date Masamune, Mori Terumoto, Shimazu Yoshihisa and other daimyo successively suffered losses in the confrontation with the Xia army.
Utsunomiya, Soma family, and Takahashi daimyo were killed, while Nanbu Harumasa and Tachibana Michiyuki were captured alive.
Oda Nobunaga looked around at the silent daimyo, and as a shogun, he had to lead them to the challenge.
"Gentlemen, life and death, fight here, bet on the fortune of the country, and wish the martial arts prosperity!"
"I wish you good luck!"
