Li Yaguo was slightly stunned after hearing the report, because the army led by the military general was equivalent to private soldiers, not a force directly under Li Yaguo, and Li Yaguo could not command, and Li Yaguo could only indirectly order by commanding the military future.

This is also the reason why Li Yaguo is unwilling to support Ran Min's expansion of troops, but sends him out to work his own, and all the taxes are used to recruit troops directly under him.

Therefore, Li Yaguo did not know the casualties of Ran Min's beggar army, and could only see the life and death of Ran Min himself from the system panel.

With Li Yaguo's understanding of Ran Min, it is impossible for him to return to his lair alone, no matter when and where, Ran Min will leave hundreds of beggar soldiers by his side as personal soldiers.

Ran Min didn't want to capsize in the gutter alone and be surrounded by a surprise attack.

At this time, Ran Min galloped back here alone, didn't he say that Ran Min's beggar army......

Li Yaguo instantly deduced the power of the Edo shogunate, and roughly guessed why Ran Min's beggar army was defeated......

As a general, Ran Min has a full-time Hell Nightmare as a mount, as long as Ran Min does not die, he can summon the Hell Nightmare as a means of transportation anytime and anywhere, which is an exclusive skill for military generals, and others can't envy it......

Therefore, once it encounters a surprise attack, the two-legged beggar army is likely to be wiped out, but it is not difficult for Ran Min himself to escape, not to mention that Ran Min has a large number of beggar soldiers around him to give up the cover of life and death, as long as Ran Min is not seeking to fight to the death, it is difficult to be killed by the enemy.

Ran Min, who fled to the outer city wall, looked at the slowly falling suspension bridge, and rushed into the imperial palace with a lonely face.

This battle dealt a big blow to Ran Min, and his beggar army was completely annihilated for the first time!

Tokugawa Ieyasu's hatred, Ran Min can be counted as a note!

After Ran Min entered the imperial palace, he just said hello to Zhao Xue and his party and went straight to Li Yaguo's lair in the inner garden of the imperial palace to report to Li Yaguo the army of the Edo shogunate.

However, the speed of the march of the Edo shogunate forces exceeded what Ran Min and Li Yaguo expected!

As dusk approached on January 1st, the Edo shogunate forces surrounded the entire Imperial Palace with no end in sight, and a soldier stood at every meter apart, truly encircling the Imperial Palace!

The most terrifying thing is that none of the once common Tier 1 conscripted farmers, Tier 2 Japanese miscellaneous soldiers, and Tier 3 Japanese spears and swords.

The lowest level of them are all Tier 4 Japanese Bow Ashigaru and Ashigaru Elite!

The Bow Ashigaru is a Tier 4 ranged class armed with an ancient Japanese longbow and saber, while the Ashigaru Elite is an elite hand-to-hand combat class equipped with a spear and a Japanese sword and shield.

This was the largest number of troops of the Edo shogunate that besieged the Imperial Palace.

Among the 4th rank soldiers, there are also a large number of 5th order Japanese sword warriors with different costumes.

The Japanese Taiken samurai has two taidao in their hands and wears samurai armor, and they have faintly become the leaders of those 4th-order ashigaru elite captains.

In addition, in the rear of the besieging army, you can vaguely see groups of 5th-order Japanese iron cannons wearing black armor lined up in small phalanxes!

These 5-order iron cannon ashigaru prototypes are the popular iron guns in the Warring States period of Japan, holding exquisite arquebuses in their hands, these arquebuses are much better in history than the arquebuses used by the firearms soldiers of the late Ming and Ming armies of the same period, at least they will not explode and kill their own people as soon as they fire......

In fact, the reason why the soldiers of the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty would rather use broadswords, spears, bows and arrows than use firearms is mainly because most of the firearms built by the decaying military industrial group in the late Ming Dynasty are defective products, and the probability of firing and exploding is almost half......

Because of this, the three-eyed firecracker, which has a shorter range and worse airtightness, is more popular with Ming soldiers than firecrackers because of its low explosion rate.

It's not that the performance of the Three-Eyed Firebolt is good, it's just that the Three-Eyed Firebolt is not easy to blow up......

The soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty were also quite pitiful, and the first thing they considered when using muskets was not whether they could kill the enemy, but whether they would hurt themselves......

If the quality of firearms at the end of the Ming Dynasty could catch up with the firearms battalion in the early Ming Dynasty two hundred years ago, it would also be able to hang the wild boar skin of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

The destruction of a dynasty often begins with internal degeneration and corruption, and the decay of the bureaucratic system often means the loneliness of other industries, because bureaucracy is the foundation of a country, and officials are the managers of a country.

Corruption from the top down is the deadliest!

As for the more advanced Edo shogunate forces, because there were too many troops outside the city, the distance was too far, and Li Yaguo's people couldn't see them at all.

The major forces from hell all have a commonality when they fight, they are willing to put low-level cannon fodder soldiers in front, and then arrange them according to their combat effectiveness, basically the weak ones go up first to consume the enemy's strength, and when the weak cannon fodder is almost dead, then send a higher-level soldier to the top, and so on, and when the last high-level soldier enters the field, the enemy's strength has almost bottomed out......

Then, the senior soldier can win the battle in one fell swoop with his strong personal combat power!

In this way, it is possible to effectively deplete the enemy's strength with crowd tactics, and to avoid the death of a large number of expensive high-ranking soldiers in frequent battles.

After all, the higher the level of the soldier, the higher the recruitment price.

If it is a 6th-order soldier, even if he does not step into the ranks of high-level soldiers, the head of the big forces will feel distressed if he dies......

As for the high-level soldiers above the 7th order, any one of them is the hole card of the major forces!

At this time, Li Yaguo had already received a hint from the game system, but the specific strength of the main force of the Edo shogunate was not given in this prompt, because the opponent had turned on a special decisive battle mode and blocked the information of his own army......

This is the first time Li Yaguo has encountered a situation!

The enemy can even block information!

Of course, Li Yaguo can also shield his military power from the enemy.

This scene made Li Yaguo realize that it seemed that the supreme rulers of the major forces had the authority to shield their own military forces when they were on a personal expedition.

And none of the armies that Li Yaguo had fought against before were supreme rulers......

When the advance of the Edo shogunate army arrived, without saying a word, a large group of bowed musketeers shot at the dwarven musketeers on the outer wall, and approached the moat to shoot a large rain of arrows!

They kept pumping arrows and throwing their bows, as if they wanted to scrap their arms in a short time......

The attack was carried out in all directions, and outside each of the outer wall defenses, there were a large number of Bow Foot Lights and Ashgaru elites launching siege battles under the leadership of the Taiken Samurai!

The continuous rain of arrows was like dark clouds, obscuring the sky on the outer wall of the Imperial Palace!
