Since Hojo Munemasa chose such a mountain area as a defense, he must have wanted to take advantage of the geographical advantages to make it difficult for his side to give full play to the advantages of the formation, so as to drag the battle into a mountain battle that was conducive to the skirmishing of small groups.

Fan Zhuoyuan looked at the captured map, knocked on the table, turned his head to look at the subordinate generals, and asked, "Before the Eastern Expedition, how is the Mandarin Duck Formation that I asked everyone to practice now?" ”

General Fu Shidao clenched his fists and said: "Young marshal, this mandarin duck array is not complicated, it is suitable for small-scale chaotic battles, not for group battles, do you plan to use it?" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan pointed to the undulating mountain area of Sanchi County, which is surrounded by mountains and seas, "This place is not suitable for battle in formation, only a large formation of soldiers and horses is needed as a fortress, and the rest of the people want to clear the wooden village in the Japanese Kou Mountain, and it is inevitable to fight with the enemy stragglers, but it is suitable for the Mandarin Duck Formation." ”

The generals didn't care about the ninjas who were breathing one by one, and gathered around Fan Zhuoyuan, looking at the map on the table.

All the generals present were veterans who had experienced the Song and Yuan wars, and they were all trained by Zhang Shijie, and they were good at water warfare and mountain warfare.

"Young marshal, we already know that this battle will definitely give the Japanese a surprise! Dare to ask when to go on the expedition? ”

Fan Zhuoyuan looked at the sky outside, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and said, "Wait for the wind to stop, and set off immediately!" ”

Then, Fan Zhuoyuan wrote two letters, one to his father Fan Wenhu, and the other to Zhang Xi, the commander of the 30,000-strong army on the right wing, who had captured Fenghou Kingdom.

He has set a follow-up combat strategy, and he is determined to take Chikugo in one fell swoop.

As for the Mengyuan Eastern Route Army, if this wind continues to blow, there will be no Eastern Route Army.

After doing this, Fan Zhuoyuan put the list of people who had just been tortured to assist the assassins in entering the city on the table and called for an interpreter.

This businessman had never seen such a cruel scene, and he had already vomited empty in his stomach, and at this moment he knelt in front of Fan Zhuoyuan like a walking corpse.

"What's your name?" Fan Zhuoyuan's tone did not change from beginning to end.

"Villain Ishii Yuto ......"

"Very well, take my soldiers, and look for them from house to house according to the names on this paper."

Ishii Yuto raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of horror, "General, what are you going to ......?"

"Rats are not allowed in the territory I govern, so I can only ask them to die quietly like rats.

And you, as our good friend, will be elected as the tax collector of the city, and help us govern this place well.

We are here, not for destruction, but to save the people of Japan and get rid of the exploitation and oppression of the samurai lords without a bottom line.

We come here with good intentions and will surely create a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

……

Fan Zhuoyuan was waiting for the wind to stop, but not only did the wind not stop, but it also blew stronger and stronger, big enough to blow some not-so-big trees up to the roots.

Not only is the wind blowing, but also the rain, torrential rain!

If it weren't for the fact that the city was built on a hill, the rain would have been enough to flood the entire city.

No one could march and fight in such weather, and Fan Zhuoyuan waited for seven days.

is waiting for the same as Fan Zhuoyuan, as well as Jingjingren.

After an assassination attempt that day, he immediately returned to Miike-gun, Chikugo Province, and reported the results to the lord Hojo Somasa.

"Jingjing-kun, that means that there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Feihou at present?"

Kagami Ren nodded, "For specific situations, you can ask Ape Fei Sun and Moon." ”

Koga Kamishinobi Ape Flying Sun and Moon has compiled the corresponding information and handed it over directly to Hojo Somasa.

"City Lord, this group of Yuankou is only part of the army, they have divided their troops, and some of them are attacking Fenghou Kingdom. Presumably, the country of Fenghou has been taken. ”

Hojo Munemasa shook his head and said, "Then it can only depend on the deployment of Dazai-sama, the wind outside is really strong." ”

The three of them looked out the window together, and Kagami Ren said: "The kamikaze has come, and it is not surprising that the 40,000 yuan kou there in Fukuoka should be buried on the waves!" ”

All the samurai in the room were excited, and one of the retainers said, "In this way, when the wind stops, Dazai-sama will be able to free up his forces to support us and Bunzen Province!" ”

Fengqian Kingdom is adjacent to Fenghou Kingdom, and now the 30,000 troops on the right wing of the Great Song Dynasty Army have been stationed in the lord of Fenghou Kingdom, and after waiting for the wind to stop, they will march into Fengqian Kingdom, and form a pincer offensive with Fan Zhuoyuan's army.

But the premise is that Fan Zhuoyuan must conquer Chikugo within the agreed time.

Not only Fan Zhuoyuan knew this, but also the many samurai of Chikugo Province here also knew it in their hearts.

Hojo Somasa said: "I brought the main force here to take advantage of the complex mountainous terrain, which is not conducive to the Yuankou arranging into a large formation to fight, nor is it conducive to their cavalry advantage.

We can only fight in unfamiliar mountain and forest areas.

Some time ago, they fought with the Yuankou Eastern Route Army in Hakata Bay, and although they were well-equipped and strong, they could not take much advantage in the case of stragglers. ”

Everyone praised it, and many retainers patted their ass, "The head of the family is far-sighted, if he dares to come this time, he will definitely fail miserably!" ”

Kagami Ren looked at Hojo Somasa and didn't have much to say, after all, this lord didn't have any problems arranged, and the elites of Japan's various daimyos couldn't fight a decisive battle with Motoko on flat ground, even if they had a tenfold advantage in troops.

But he couldn't listen to all kinds of flattery, confessed, and turned away.

Seeing this, a retainer said unhappily: "What is the difference between a lost dog and a ronin, and he is still here to protect the Falklands." ”

"That's it, and I swore before that this assassination would be successful, and as a result, I also broke Iga Kamishinobu Hattori Ryoto, it seems that the so-called soul of Tsushima Island is just boasting."

Hojo Somasa shouted: "That's enough, Kagamii-kun has done a lot to fight against Yuankou, and he is not allowed to say that he is not behind his back." ”

Soon after Kagai Ren left, Sarutobi Sun and Moon also walked out.

"What is the strength of that Yuan Kou general? Hattori couldn't even get out. ”

Looking at the wind and rain outside the corridor, he put the hat on his head, and said in a deep voice: "It's a terrible guy, just like a demon, and he can't be killed by ordinary methods." ”

Ape Fei Sun and Moon wondered: "Evil ghost? What do you mean? ”

"This person is invulnerable, and I used Yuan Kou's sky-shaking thunder to barely force him back."

Ape Fei Sun Moon sneered: "Invulnerable? Is it possible that such a person exists! ”

At this time, Ye Xiuping turned out from the corner, "Middle-earth does have martial arts that can cultivate human flesh to the point of invulnerability. ”

Ape Fei Sun and Moon staggered two steps slightly, and he seemed to be a little jealous of this Song scholar.

"What kind of kung fu is that?"

"External skills, iron cloth shirts, golden bell jars and the like, as long as you practice to the fullest, all iron is difficult to hurt."

Ape Fei Sun and Moon were surprised: "Are there many people who know this kind of martial arts?" ”

"This kind of martial arts is almost rotten on the street, and many people can."

Ape Fei Sun and Moon were first startled, and then sneered: "Nonsense, you won't!" ”

"Hmph, I said that many people can, but it doesn't mean that everyone can cultivate to the fullest.

Before the completion of the Dacheng, this kind of horizontal practice was nothing more than standing and being beaten, and there was still a cover door.

Only when you practice to the fullest, the body's defense forms an instinct, which not only greatly increases the defense, but also greatly enhances the strength and physique of the person, and this Fan Shaoshuai is probably like this.

Although it is a widely spread method of horizontal refining, because the cultivation process of the exercises is very painful, the initial actual combat effect is still very poor, and it is even very easy to self-harm, and there are very few people who can really practice. ”
