Chapter 475: Invasion War

Hokkaido, formerly known as Ezo, is the second largest island in the Wakoku region, with an area of more than 83,000 square kilometers. The central part is high and surrounded by plains. It is 420 kilometers wide from north to south and 540 kilometers long from east to west, bordering the Sea of Japan in the west, the Pacific Ocean in the south, and the Sea of Okhotsk in the northeast. It is bordered by the Tsugaru Strait to the southwest and the Strait of La Peroz (Soya Strait) to the north.

Facing Sakhalin Island (Sakhalin Island), it is a strategic point to control the two gorges, and it is a frontier outpost in northern Japan, and is known as the "key to Japan's north gate". It's just that at this time, it was not considered by the Japanese people, and it was not as prosperous as later generations, and it was not the only province among the 47 prefectures in Japan in later generations.

Now it is just the living home of the Anu people, but it is forcibly occupied by the Yamato people. Enslave their brothers and sisters, kill them for no reason, and exploit them wantonly.

The Ainu persevered and fought to the death.

On the third day of his team's arrival on the island of Hokkaido, the team was moving. Tens of thousands of heavily armed Ainu, small but stocky and powerful. Familiar with the terrain, dispersed into various armies to become scouts.

"Comrades, rise up, we must not abandon our homeland, and we must not let the ethnic groups perish in the dust of history. Brothers, open your eyes and see that our compatriots are being bullied and tortured and killed. Can you sit idly by? ”

"Can't!"

"Be louder, you can't hear it."

"We can't, can't ......"

"What should we do in this situation?"

"Kill, kill, kill them all."

……

On the northernmost plain, which is also the only indigenous plain, the Chaojia army and the indigenous army of more than 100,000 people lined up in several phalanxes. Chao Gai stood at the forefront, encouraging the whole army with emotion. As he spoke, the native who was rescued and renamed Chao Jinshan did the same and followed the shout.

At the front, whether it was Han Chinese soldiers or indigenous soldiers, the emotions were gradually mobilized. They shouted at the top of their voices, and the roars became more and more neat. Everyone brandished the weapons in their hands, their faces full of fanaticism, and the crowd was furious, shouting and shouting and killing.

The deafening roar spread like a mountain and frightened the seabirds in the distance.

After the pre-war general mobilization, the soldiers were feasted on the war meal and drank the wine of practical salvation. Carry three days' worth of dry rations, and go to the battlefield with the commanders of the army.

Chao Gai, Han Shizhong, and Han Yong each led 30,000 troops and pounced on the Yamato army stationed in Hokkaido in three ways, officially firing the first shot of the overseas war.

The Yamato regime expanded dramatically, arriving in Hokkaido twenty years ago. Due to the distinction between good and bad in the legal system, it suffered strong resistance from the local aborigines, and the war for more than ten years has never stopped.

Every year, a big war breaks out, but the indigenous peoples are poorly equipped and engaged in production. In the process of confrontation with the Yamato nation, he gradually became at a disadvantage, until he was defeated and retreated, and the land was occupied, and he escaped into the deep mountains and old forests.

However, these natives have a resilient character and often attack and destroy in groups. Therefore, in order to prevent these natives from counterattacking, the Yamato regime stationed troops in this area and built many rammed earth fortresses.

Anyway, if they were killed, they would not have thought that the Song people would suddenly intervene to help the natives, let alone that they would be as fast as the tide army.

In the middle of the night, when the defenders were at their laxest, they launched surprise attacks in many places at the same time.

Although these forts are made of stones, the walls are five or six meters high, and they cannot stop the Shenwu guards and scouts who can do special operations, and use their claw hooks to quickly climb up, deal with sentries and open the gates from the inside.

Tens of thousands of troops marched in and slaughtered.

Although the Japanese army fought all year round and was elite, despite their strength and speed. I was caught off guard first, and I couldn't gather. Under the double disadvantage of weapons and numbers, it suffered a catastrophe.

Many people were hacked to death in a daze!

The Ainu were brave and good at fighting, and they were forced to be anxious again, thinking of those who had been enslaved, and of their relatives who had fallen under the butcher's knife of the enemy. Burst out with terrifying combat power. The screaming soldiers take the lead, only attack but not defend, fight for their lives, even if they pull a cushion back and die with the enemy before they die.

Facts have proved that training, even in actual combat training, cannot create elites!

On the battlefield, the two teams are judged by each other.

More than sixty or seventy percent of the Chao family army are recruits who have never seen blood, and their performance in the first battle is very stretched. Many people can't be ruthless with the enemy, can't adapt to the bloody scene, and there are not a few people who vomit and are afraid on the spot.

Those grassroots officers who were veterans encouraged, pacified, and led the team to rush to kill. And because many of his companions were killed by fierce enemies because of their soft-heartedness. was even more stimulated by the ferocity in the bones of these indigenous comrades-in-arms, roaring and crying, ignoring the cruelty of the battlefield, and fighting to the death with the enemy.

The bloody and corpse-strewn battlefield made the recruits vomit and vomit bile, and it was like a lesson to see the Ainu mending their enemies one by one. It indicates that the Chao family army is undergoing a transformation.

Transforming into a professional soldier!

The army scattered again on multiple roads, and the southern part of Hokkaido blossomed everywhere, and the smoke was everywhere. Military forts were breached, those who dared to resist were eliminated, the Ainu were rescued, supplies were collected, and small forces cleared the surrounding strongholds, recovering all of Hokkaido as quickly as possible.

The attack came too quickly and so suddenly that the Yamato regime simply did not react.

In the first two days, the three-way army was mainly raided, except for the first two battles, which sacrificed hundreds of people, the officers and men of the Chao family army adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield, and the casualties were sharply reduced, or even ignored, and they marched all the way.

Attacking the city is like a bamboo.

However, after the third day, the military forts and towns were reported by the sergeants who had fled and were put on higher alert. The effect of the raid is becoming less and less noticeable. until it becomes a head-on confrontation. It's also time to test the generals.

In order to be in a hurry, the catapult is only an auxiliary, more of a deterrent. The tactics chosen by each army are different, and the speed of advance varies from fast to slow.

Casualties, there is a gap between the teams.

Sai Qin Qiong Yutai personally led the team to fight and rush, the fastest speed, and the largest casualties. Jin Leopard Yang Lin is the most cautious, steady and steady, often looking at the right time to lure the other party out, and suddenly kill the encirclement and suppression, with the least casualties.

Sairengui Guo Sheng, Xiaowen Hou and Lu Fang adopted the style of playing with three missing one, relying on the advantage of bows and arrows to suppress and quickly seize the city. It's just that the tactics are a bit dull, easy to encounter street fighting, with few casualties and slow speed.

The most outstanding is still Pohan Wu Han Shizhong, a round of catapults bombing wildly, launching a charge to attack the city when the enemy army is most panicked, and the speed is very fast.

Han Yong chose to use the tactic of fierce fire oil, and the ignited oil canister was thrown into the city wall to cause a riot, and then the wooden city gate was burned. Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the army drove into the ...... like a tidal wave

In addition to the consumption of fierce fire oil, the loss is small and the speed is fast!

Huazi, Hu Sanniang, and several female generals in Yelu Tali also shined. The woman's effeminate appearance became the best cover, blending in with the fleeing crowd. Suddenly seize the gates during a siege or flank from the inside and outside. Not only are the casualties small, but the speed is not inferior to the two Koreas.

Chao Gai did not command the battle, but understood the situation of the various armies. And always keep abreast of the actions of the Yamato regime, so as to adjust the operational objectives.

In just a few days, Hokkaido was completely recovered!

In total, more than 20 military fortresses and small cities were breached. There were 50,000 Japanese soldiers who wiped out the Japanese army, most of them died in battle, the others threw away their weapons and surrendered in time, and there were more than 100,000 Japanese civilians in small cities and villages. They migrated from Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku and other places.

In fact, there will be more captives, but many will be killed by angry natives. In the end, Chao covered the carrot and put the stick, and Enwei and Shi got it done. A trial can be held, and the Ainu can kill the Ainu who have the Ainu on their hands, but they can't kill the civilians, and the Ainu obey.

Such a result in a few days!

The Ainu suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Chao family were killed in battle. If it weren't for the improvement of battlefield first aid, there would have been more deaths.

In its place was the Guards, and the Iron Lady Army gradually grew into the elite!

Hokkaido, a large island, has fallen!

Naturally, it set off turbulent waves among the high-level leaders of the Japanese state, and they also sensed that something was wrong. Reminiscent of a little more than a month ago, Tsushima suddenly lost contact.

This made the top brass of the Japanese state even more aware of the seriousness of the situation.

Many people believe that Goryeo sent a large army to attack, because a few months ago, thousands of samurai went to Goryeo to plunder, but the whole army was wiped out. The nobles of the Wa Kingdom rallied and organized a large army to defend against the invasion.

However, the area of the Wa Kingdom is not large, but it is not small, and there are dozens of large and small cities. The number of people is two or three million, the army is at most one out of ten, the regular army is only more than 200,000, scattered in various cities, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 troops in the royal city, and there will be hundreds of thousands of people who are recruited into the army.

However, whether it's assembling an army or recruiting new recruits, it takes time.

Chao Gai didn't give the Wa Kingdom this time.

The Guards, the Iron Lady Army and other teams that fought for several days in a row rested, implemented military management in various places, and arranged for Xiucai who learned Japanese and performed well to take office. Make an example of the people, and organize the people to prepare for the harvest.

Three infantry divisions and four cavalry divisions were in place. Under the leadership of the leader Chao Gai, more than 100,000 troops marched into the neighboring island of Honshu overnight. shouted again to kill the earth-shattering, and the soldiers were divided into multiple ways.

This time, the Japanese state was prepared, and a sneak attack was almost impossible.

Chao Gai led the army and was not in a hurry, and fought steadily and steadily, and started training again. Rao is so, with detachable investors and bed crossbows and other siege weapons. Even the rammed earth walls of the castle on the island of Honshu are higher.

Advance at the speed of a city in three or five days with an army all the way.

The Japanese army was defeated and retreated, constantly losing the city, and it seemed that it was getting closer and closer to the imperial city. The nobles of the Wa Kingdom could not sit still and gathered large armies from all over the country.

The team is all moving closer to the royal city!

It's just that this news can't be hidden from the members of the special task force at all.

Chao Gai received the information and used the Flying Eagle to transmit notifications to various places and give orders to mobilize the army. The Guards, the Iron Maiden and other teams went into the battlefield to ambush reinforcements. Five cavalry divisions were mobilized to join the battlefield of encirclement and reinforcement.

Time passed like this, and the Chao family army strangled with the teams that came to help from all over the country.

Xiao Zhang Liang Xu Guanzhong, sick pharmacist Xiao Jiasui, and Gongsun Sheng of Yunlong each sat in a team. Three fleets carried two or three divisions and siege equipment. They are moored and landed from remote places such as Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku. Unleash a fierce attack on the unfortified cities.

The all-out invasion of the Japanese war has completely begun!
