Choshu Front

The two lines of defense run almost side by side through the mountains, hills, and plains, and run through the entire north and south coasts of Choshu.

With the exception of the steep mountains in the middle of Choshu that were not suitable for large armies because of their steep and dangerous terrain and dense forests, so neither side had many troops here, but Bichu Prefecture, near Izumo in the north and the sea in the south, was the main point of confrontation between the two armies.

In Bichu, which borders the Inland Sea in the south, the Izumo terrain in the north is dominated by gently sloping mountains and low hills, and there are also some small plains along the coast, so the army of Soga Yotoku is mainly concentrated in the coastal area to the south.

Compared with the almost comprehensive fortifications built by the Japanese state in the east, the defense line on Wang Ze's side in the west, which is five or six miles away from the Japanese defense line, is much rougher, and it can no longer be said that this is a line of defense, in fact, it is just a broken line connected by a series of small garrison points.

Moreover, the main part of this cantonment line was only opposite the Soviet-Ourde army, because the troops on Wang Ze's side were too small, and even the central mountains only sent soldiers to patrol once a day, and they had to rely on the armed colonization team behind to help defend some loopholes.

Fortunately, Wang Ze's side had an advantage in cavalry over the Japanese people, so that they could use the garrison point as the base point and the cavalry as the auxiliary to firmly control the large area of land around it, and also let the Japanese people who had sneaked into the rear of Changzhou County several times not go far to be wiped out.

In addition to the construction of a section of fortifications near the key location of Su and Yongde, in order to save manpower and material resources, there is basically no continuous fortification defense line of the Japanese people in other places, of course, this is also related to Jiang Chuan, Cao An, Zhang Hang and even Zheng Kui and others did not take the Japanese people in their eyes.

At this time, there was a group of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses were blocking in front of the Japanese army and shouting and scolding, led by a young general wearing rhino skin fish scale armor, wearing an eight-petal copper helmet, wearing a pair of soap-colored arrow boots on his feet, but in his hand was carrying a horse lance that was exactly the same as Wang Yong's original envoy.

Take a closer look, this young general is Zhu Bofu, who has turned 16 years old this year, Zhu Bofu is usually a bit of a ruffian, except for more than 500 soldiers under his command who are young people from the White Wolf Battalion, most of the others are specially selected soldiers, special experts in scolding war.

Don't look at these soldiers and oilers can't fight, but if you want to talk about scolding, they are really experts, and the angry words that scold can make Zhuge Liang hide his face and leave, and make Sima Yi vomit blood and die, but in the face of the continuous condolences of the experts of the scolding war to the eighteen generations of female elders, the Japanese army on the opposite side did not react at all.

"Captain Zhu, the brothers have been scolding for two days in a row, but the little dwarfs on the other side haven't even reacted at all! If people can't understand us, our brothers are tired and they don't know what we're scolding! A thin, wrinkled-faced, bitter-looking lieutenant of the garrison stepped forward and complained.

At this time, Zhu Bofu was wearing a suit of armor, and he was also constantly wiping his sweat from the hot summer sun, but when he heard the lieutenant's complaint, he still comforted: "This shows that the dwarves on the other side are weak-hearted, you must know that most of the Japanese nobles are proficient in Sinology, as long as they are officers, they can speak Chinese, how can they not understand it, let the brothers shout for another half an hour, let's rest!" ”

With Zhu Bofu's letter, these nearly 1,000 soldiers were led by several loud-voiced lieutenants and other officers, and it can be said that they opened their throats to scold, and when the sun rose, these soldiers began to get tired, and the summer sun was really hot, so Zhu Bofu ordered to withdraw to his own camp.

"Da Lang, we don't attack every day, we just shout and scold in front of the Japanese people, but the Japanese people are too timid to fight, and they don't even react at all, now it's so hot outside, let's call Cheng Erlang next time!" Zhu Bofu, who was hot and flushed, complained while taking off the armor on Wang Ze's big tent.

Wang Ze saw that Zhu Bofu's face was covered with thick armor, and the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat, and immediately handed over a bowl of sour plum soup, Zhu Bofu was not polite to his brother, took the bowl of sour plum soup handed to him by Wang Ze and drank it all, and then felt that it was not enough, so he poured himself another bowl.

After hearing Zhu Bofu's complaints, Cheng Hu, who let himself go to the top post and also took a sip of sour plum soup, said angrily: "It wasn't that you had to rush to go by yourself at the beginning, and now you are complaining about who is to blame!" ”

Zhu Bofu was so blocked by Cheng Hu's words that he couldn't speak, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "If you want me to say, we have so many troops now, and Uncle Zhou's ironclad army is here, what is there to fear about the little widows, why don't you just attack directly?" Now that we have so much to do, I'm afraid that people will laugh at us! ”

Zhou Tong patted Zhu Bofu's shoulder and grinned: "Zhu Dalang, your Uncle Zhou and our men are all fighting in Jeju and Jibei County with hundreds of thousands of Qi army corpses in the sea of blood, and we are still afraid of a fart of the widows!" With their small figures, we can destroy them if we say that they can be destroyed, and now the little marquis makes a little trick but can lose a little manpower, which is always good! ”

Wang Ze also pointed to the sand table in the big tent of the Chinese army and explained to Zhu Bofu: "Brother, look, now the army of Su and I Yongde is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and we wait until Uncle Zheng Kui and they seize Wushi Island (Awaji Island) and threaten the Japanese Kyoto, Su Yongde will inevitably lead the Japanese army to retreat urgently, and then we will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and the casualties will be smaller after all!" ”

Zhu Bofu said suddenly: "The army under the command of Su Yongde can be said to be the most elite army of the Japanese people, if we can eliminate most of them halfway, then it will be much easier to deal with the Japanese country later!" ”

In fact, Zhu Bofu only guessed half of it, Wang Ze's main purpose was to let the Japanese people leave his defense line and start a field battle with the Japanese people, so that his own losses could be reduced to the lowest point.

When Wang Ze and Wang Yong formed an army to recruit soldiers, they promised that the families of all soldiers who died in battle could receive a large amount of pensions or choose a certain amount of land according to their respective military exploits.

At that time, there were Zhaoyuan gold mines in Sanqi, and many large gold and silver mines were found in the Wa Kingdom, and even the world-famous Iwami Silver Mountain in later generations had been accidentally discovered by Zhu Bofu and these people, with so many gold and silver mines, and so much land was grabbed from all over the East China Sea, these promises to the soldiers were originally easy to do.

But I don't want to think that since the Qi army crossed the river, the front-line troops of Jeju and Jibei County have lost more than half of their troops, and in addition to a series of battles such as the Battle of Jiaozhou, the Battle of Gaomi, and the Battle of Weishui, Wang Yong and Wang Ze have lost more than 200,000 soldiers.

In addition to the pension of each of these soldiers, which are more than 50 taels, if they are bare gold, at least tens of millions of taels of gold will be issued, and Wang Yong and Wang Ze will also be responsible for arranging the lives of millions of people who have fled to the east of Weishui, which can completely empty Wang Yong and Wang Ze's pockets.

In fact, Wang Ze is already lucky, relying on the Chinese's thirst for land since ancient times, and the vast majority of the families of these soldiers who died in the war choose a large amount of land compensation, although most of these lands are on overseas islands.

However, the amount of land that each family can share with hundreds or thousands of acres of land still makes these Han people who used to live at the bottom of the society in Northern Qi extremely happy, this land is not a deceptive trick with only a few decades of use rights, but a land that can be passed on to children and grandchildren for hundreds of years!

Even though these lands were far less fertile than the land that had been cultivated for thousands of years in the Central Plains, as long as they could graze their cattle or find gold and silver mines in their own land, they would be prosperous, so these people were willing to move to live on the land they would acquire.

At this time, Wang Ze had to be fortunate that there were not many powerful tribes on Sakhalin Island and Whale Island, and after the war against the Japanese State, two or three hundred thousand people could be placed on these two large islands alone, which greatly alleviated Wang Ze's difficulties, and even the land of Owari and Pingmachuan, which had not yet been grabbed by the Japanese State, was thought of by Wang Ze.

However, Zhu Bofu didn't know about Wang Ze's problems, he clapped his hands and smiled: "That's fine, it's just that Dalang, you have to keep an eye on these widows, when we fought with them in the past, these little dwarfs were tricky and not easy to deal with!" ”

After the East China Sea troops returned to reinforce Sanqi, because of the emptiness of the troops several times, the cavalry of the White Wolf Battalion almost fell into the strategy of the Japanese people, but fortunately, Zheng Kui, who was in charge of the defense line at that time, was more careful, discovered the conspiracy of the Japanese people in time, and sent troops to rescue the cavalry of the White Wolf Battalion in time.

Speaking of which, Su I Yongde can be regarded as a rare handsome talent, he led an army that was mainly rookies and rookies, and he used the rolling mountains of the Wa Kingdom to block Zhang Hang, Cao An, Jiang Chuan, Zheng Kui, the top generals in Wang Ze's ranks, so that Wang Ze also had to admire.

Just as everyone was talking about how to arrange the people after the occupation of the Japanese kingdom, suddenly a group of scouts dressed in jungle camouflage returned to the barracks.

Then Wang Ze was surprised to learn that the Japanese army on the opposite side had quietly withdrawn last night, and now there were only one or two thousand Japanese soldiers on the opposite side. Dream Literature Network

Fuck it! I was fooled! Wang Ze didn't know how to describe his feelings, just now he told Zhu Bofu that he would use a strategy to drag the Japanese army to pursue while the Japanese were retreating, but as a result, tens of thousands of Japanese troops had already secretly run away.

"Brother Bo Fu, your White Wolf Battalion and Ji Xiang first led the cavalry of the department to reconnoiter the military situation of the Japanese people, and I will take Jiang Chuan and Zhang Hang to pursue them!" Wang Ze was as anxious as burning his ass at this time.

There is no way, if you let these Japanese armies escape safely and strike at the other armies that are not mentally prepared, it will be a big loss, but fortunately, Ji Xiang's cavalry is still by his side and has not been sent.

Just when Wang Ze was chasing after the burning tail, Su Wu Yongde and Su Wu Ma Zi's uncle and nephew also had gloomy faces, urging the soldiers under their command to speed up from time to time.

On that day, after receiving an urgent letter from Soga Inamo, he learned that when he was confronting the Central Plains army in Choshu, the opposition forces in Kyoto, led by the Monobe clan, had taken the opportunity to completely eliminate the Soga clan, which had long held the power of the Japanese state, despite the enemy's pressure.

At first, tens of thousands of enemy troops attacked Awaji Island and annihilated all the Japanese people on the island, and a naval army intended to attack Kyoto along the Seta River.

When this Central Plains people first came to the East China Sea, the total number of troops was only about 10,000, and now there are tens of thousands of troops in Changzhou, not to mention, there are tens of thousands of troops on Awaji Island.

Tens of thousands of troops occupied Awaji Island and approached Kyoto, and the last naval army stationed on Awaji Island was completely wiped out, although there were still 150,000 new troops in Kyoto, but the Japanese monarchs and ministers who knew the actual situation of their troops were still extremely frightened.

At this time, Su I Daomu, as the father-in-law of the King of Qinming, and a powerful minister who has always controlled the government of the Japanese State, of course he had to take on heavy responsibilities at a critical moment.

Therefore, under the plea of the king of Qinming, Suga Iname temporarily pretended to be generous to forgive the tribes that opposed him, and said that he would unite all the Japanese tribes to fight back together to repel the Han people in the Central Plains who dared to invade the country of the rising sun, and establish the right of the country of the rising sun to speak in the East China Sea.

In fact, Su I Daomu didn't really want to fight head-on with Wang Ze's army, he still fought the idea of taking the opportunity to annex the armed forces of other tribes, as long as Su I clan reconciled the full strength of the Wa State, and then fought a few battles with Wang Ze, so that it would be good to negotiate an armistice with Wang Ze.

But what Su I Daomu didn't expect was that the Monobe clan and other opposition forces also did not have a good heart, and when Su I Daomu sent most of the armed forces under his command and took the weapons of the Monobe clan and other opposition forces to the front line to resist Zheng Kui and Shen Sanshui's department, the Monobe clan finally attacked the Su I clan.

At first, the Su I clan was only impeached by the opposition led by the Monobe clan, and the Su I clan didn't care about it, thinking that the Monobe clan just wanted to take the opportunity to gain more power, after all, now that there is a big enemy outside, the Monobe clan is a large tribe in the Japanese country, and this strategic vision is still necessary.

Who knows that the Monobe clan is really a teammate of the pit father, I don't know if it's brain-dead or what to think, they united their allies to secretly hide an elite army, taking advantage of the emptiness of Kyoto to attack and kill all the members of the Soga clan below Soga Inamo.

Fortunately, the Soga clan has a deep foundation, and there are many forces in the city that are inclined to the Soga clan, and Soga Inamome knew the news in time and fled into his family's castle, so he escaped with his life, but the king of Qinming was controlled by the tribal ministers headed by the Monobe clan, and even the two daughters of Suga Inamo, who were the concubines of the princess of the Chinmei, were also killed by the Monobe clan.

Although Soga Inamome was extremely angry, but at this time, the castle of the Soga clan was tightly surrounded by the Monobe clan's armed forces, and it was already good to be able to defend the castle without losing it, where could I go out and fight the Monobe clan.

Fortunately, Soga Inamome has a deep foundation, and for a while, many originally neutral ministers still continued to wait and see, so Soga Inamome took the opportunity to send several samurai with high martial arts skills to break out of the encirclement and go to the front line in Choshu to inform Soga Yongde, who is currently in command of the last elite army of the Wa Kingdom.

Su I Yongde knew that there was an accident at home, of course, I couldn't continue to confront Wang Ze, so I quietly retreated after leaving 2,000 soldiers on the night of the second day when Wang Ze came, and when Wang Ze's scouts found that Su I Yongde had retreated, the Japanese army had already gone out dozens of miles away.

Knowing that Su I escaped at night, Wang Ze led the army to chase all the way, but fortunately, the Jiaodong Han were tall and long, and one step was worth the small short legs of the Japanese people, plus the cavalry troops led by Ji Xiang, Zhu Bofu, Xu Zheng, and Yan Xiaowu harassed and blocked, but by the morning of the next day, Su I Yongde's army was caught up by Wang Ze.

Seeing this, Su I had no choice but to put on a position to try to resist Wang Ze's attack, but since the Japanese army had begun to retreat, and now they were forced to fight with people, the morale of the Japanese soldiers was low one by one, and when they fought with Jiang Chuan, Zhang Hang and others in the past few years, they knew that the army in front of them was all killing gods that they could not provoke.

The morale of the Japanese army was already low, even if Su I sent a team of warlords, Wang Ze did not say nonsense at all, first the saturation blow of Zheng's rockets and 'rain flying' gunpowder arrows, and then the intensive shooting of the soldiers of Yu Feng's crossbow and arrow battalion.

After the Japanese soldiers finally survived the successive blows, before they came to their senses, they saw a group of big men standing out of Wang Ze's army, which had already rushed very close, and threw grenades that ignited the fuse into the Japanese army one after another, and blew up the Japanese army who had never seen the world crying for their fathers and mothers.

Of course, these grenades are still made of black powder, although Wang Ze already has nitroglycerin explosives and yellow explosives, two powerful gunpowders, but nitroglycerin explosives are too dangerous to be used as a last resort, yellow gunpowder is much safer, but it is too difficult to obtain basic raw materials without large-scale industrial production, so Wang Ze still has to use black powder.

After the grenade explosion frenzy passed, thousands of ironclad troops led by Zhou Tong had come to the front of the Japanese army, with a heavy horse cutting giant sword swept over, rows of Japanese people were cut into pieces of flesh and blood, even if there were Japanese people who fell to the ground and pretended to be dead, they were not afraid, and there were Jiang Chuan, Zhang Hang and many other generals behind the army to mend the knife one by one.

The Japanese were originally very resistant to pressure, but when the casualties exceeded the tolerance of the Japanese people, the last of the Japanese army, which was still quite elite, finally found that they were simply sending them to death, so the Japanese people who could not bear the pressure immediately collapsed.

It's just that Su I was worried about the safety of the Kyoto people in my heart, and I had already fled in advance with only 10,000 of my own family arms.

When Wang Ze led the army to pursue and sweep away the Japanese tribe all the way, with the cooperation of Sun Xing, the army of Shen Sanshui and Zheng Kui, who were originally only feints to attack Kyoto, actually ignored the fact that most of them were militiamen, and began to land on the Japanese mainland on the other side, and launched a crazy attack on tens of thousands of Japanese defenders on the shore.

The previous 200,000 Japanese army claimed to be 800,000 did not frighten Zheng Kui, and the tens of thousands of Japanese troops sent to fight Zheng Kui and others were quickly defeated by Zheng Kui's tens of thousands of troops, and half of the tens of thousands of newly formed Japanese troops were even Japanese women.

Although these Japanese women are ugly, some of them are okay after all, and since these Japanese women were drafted into the army, they must be in good health, and they are also very good to use as slaves.

Most of Zheng Kui's troops are said to be militiamen, but the remaining troops of the Wa State are even less suitable for the battlefield than Wang Ze's long-trained militia.

When Wang Ze's army was chasing Su I Yongde all the way to Kyoto, Cao An and Chu Honghang's troops had already occupied the plains of Owari, not to mention the meeting with Meng Xian's troops who were attacking from the north and at Lake Omi Biwa, and at this time the Wa Kingdom could be said to have been cut off into two parts: east and west.

"Little Marquis, let's go up along the river in front of us, and walk a hundred miles to Kyoto in the Wa Kingdom!" The wolf-tooth soldiers who had already infiltrated the Japanese mainland gave full play to their abilities at this time, and they had a clear understanding of the situation on the Japanese mainland early.

After cleaning up most of the Japanese army, Wang Ze led a large army to the Japanese Kyoto, and today with Zheng Kui, Shen Sanshui, and Liu Wancheng's headquarters converged, this time with the wolf's tooth to lead the team, and the march was much faster.

Su I Yongde, who returned to Kyoto, didn't care if Wang Ze came or not, as soon as he returned to Kyoto, he set off a bloody storm! The Monobe clan and his allies were immediately cupped!
