In mid-August of the 19th year of Jiajing, the 280,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty in the central and southern part of the Qing Dynasty were purged and camped.

At the beginning of September, they arrived at the border between Mino and Shinano-gun.

This is the main battlefield chosen by the daimyo of the Japanese Kingdom!

Since the Ming army landed in Japan, under the call of Emperor Nara, the daimyo abandoned their prejudices, united their forces, and wanted to fight with the Ming Dynasty, and the way to deal with the Ming army was not one.

For example, the division of troops to garrison, planning to fight against the Ming army and find opportunities from it, such as breaking the whole into pieces, exhausting the Ming army through guerrilla attack tactics, etc., but in the end it was forced into a decisive battle!

There is no way, this is completely forced, the Ming army has an absolute advantage, still step by step, the caution can be called excessive, no matter which county is reached, the first is the scouts out, after finding out the local situation is the massacre, but as long as the Japanese are not women and children, they will be killed!

Guerrilla tactics should also be based on the masses, and raid tactics must have sufficient favorable terrain to cover up, but these are completely useless in front of the steady Ming army.

The massacre of the Ming army caused all the Japanese civilians to be killed and wounded, even if they hid underground, they would be searched out of the caves, and then they would be killed with one shot, without a large number of civilians as cover, what kind of guerrilla warfare.

The sweep is similar to the sweep of the clear field of the fortified wall, which directly makes the Japanese army have no living space for the slightest attack tactics, and what can be done if it does not fight to the death?

The two armies faced each other, and the flags covered the sun, but the flags of the Ming army looked neat and uniform, while the flags of the Japanese army were varied, and there were everything.

Ashikaga Yoshiharu looked at the Ming army formation twenty miles away through the binoculars, and couldn't help but feel palpitations.

Whether an army is strong enough or not, just looking at the appearance of the army may be a bit arbitrary, but an army with strict military discipline can never be a weak brigade, the Ming army looks neat and tidy, without the slightest chaos, and more than 200,000 troops stand in the wind, like a whole, how can such an army not be strong!

On the other hand, the Japanese army was on par with the Ming army in terms of total strength, but no matter how you look at it, they were all chaotic samurai who crisscrossed the battlefield with their personal martial prowess...... It is estimated that he felt that he should save his physical strength before the war, and I don't know how many of them sat directly on the ground, and the whole army was unsightly.

But there is no way to change it, this is the tradition of the Japanese samurai is even more proud, they are not afraid of death, and they are also tigers and wolves on the battlefield, but what is an elite division, what is a straggler, Ashikaga Yoshiharu can still distinguish clearly.

Look at the thousands of artillery pieces on the front line of the Ming army...... The muzzle of the black hole seemed to be the hideous mouth of a monster, looking at them coldly, waiting for the opportunity to swallow them up.

Because of the long-lasting defeat of Nizi, these living daimyo are very aware of the power of the Ming army's artillery, and it is said that a cannon goes down to the sky, and the most important thing is that the Ming army's artillery has a range of up to more than ten miles!

The easiest way to restrain firearms is to have an equally fierce firearm to fight it, or an equally sharp ultra-long-range assault weapon capable of destroying enemy artillery positions with precision.

But it can't be...... Japan's most powerful artillery has a maximum firing distance of only seven or eight miles, as for the ultra-long-range rhubarb crossbow...... Hehe, forget it.

When will the two armies be separated by twenty miles? It was almost impossible to reach such a truce, but there was no way, no matter how stupid Ashikaga Yoshiharu was, it was impossible for the last hope of the Wa Kingdom to be within the range of the Ming artillery.

Nowadays, Japan's biggest advantage is that it is on the defensive, and the attacking side is the Ming Dynasty, so blocking the enemy here, the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and advancing, using the advantage of turning into the front battlefield to play attack and harass tactics, and then looking for a good opportunity to break the enemy, this is the most correct tactical response.

This is also the only winning strategy of the current Japanese army, a frontal decisive battle, the Japanese army is by no means the enemy of the Ming army, and even like Nizi for a long time, even the Ming army's fire blockade can not break through, it will be completely defeated.

Therefore, it can only be fought head-on and aggrieved......

"Little Japan is a little interesting, it's a bit ......like when we fought against the Crusaders in Andorra," Zhu Houzhao smiled.

Zhu Houwei doesn't think it's ridiculous, the reason why my brother said this is because little Japan planted tens of thousands of mines on the main battlefield in front!

It's not that Japan doesn't have firearms, and they don't have the ability to make high-end firearms, but if they can't get anything like mines, grenades, and explosives packs, which don't have much technical content, it would be a bit too stupid.

It's just that little Japan thinks that the Ming army doesn't know about the mines, but unfortunately, with the military intelligence analysis ability of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing that can hide the intelligence system of the Ming Dynasty, if such a big battle still wants to hide the eyes of the Ming army, unless Zhu Houwei's eyes are blind.

"Now Ashikaga Yoshiharu is probably still stupidly waiting for us to charge, and then be blown up by the minefield he arranged?"

Zhu Houzhao pouted and said: "Boring arrangement, if I were the commander of the Japanese army, I should do everything possible at this time to break through more points and escape from the air raids of our army at sea, instead of staying on the mainland and fighting a war with no chance of winning at all."

Zhu Houwei agreed, what is the hand that determines the winner or loser of a war?

The winner of the war is definitely not a conspiracy!

The so-called those who rely on intrigue and trickery to conquer the world and are invincible are pure nonsense, and they regard the enemy as fools.

Every battle that has been won by intrigue and intrigue will be written about, why? Because it's scarce.

On the battlefield, on the premise that there is no serious generation gap between the military industries of the two sides, it depends on the superiority of troops and morale!

In other words, the key factors that determine the outcome of the war are troops, morale, and military industry!

The military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is so weak and surrounded by tigers and wolves, but it still inherits the national honor for more than 300 years, relying on the military industry!

An army with a high morale of 100,000 and an enemy army with the same high morale as 20,000 or 30,000 have a head-on decisive battle.

Morale is something that can't be seen or touched, but it's everywhere, before going to the battlefield, why do generals want to boost morale, why do they want to scream at the soldiers under their command, for morale.

Of course, for today's Ming army, morale ......

You say that a new army that has been in formation for more than ten years, and has gone from an undefeated army to the battlefield and still has morale, is that nonsense.

And what about the Japanese army? It seems that there are only four words that can describe the low morale, there is no way, after Nizi's long-lasting rout was collected, those defeated soldiers directly infected the panic of the whole army, and in the face of the Ming army that was described as fierce and vicious, can there still be morale?

The number of troops is equal, the morale is low, the military industry is not at the same level, where does the Japanese army have any chance of winning!
