Chapter 476: Seven Cities Lost
In addition, Jiang Chao asked the subordinate army to send another 30,000 people, and among these people, there were soldiers from various prefectures who came over.
It's just that the continuous coastline of China is too long, and the 40,000 troops are still seriously insufficient.
The six treasure ships led by Dong Lishan with 3,000 people are still adapting to sea navigation and various trainings for the time being. Becoming a Navy is not an easy task.
First of all, seasickness had to be overcome, in fact, Jiang Chao originally wanted to recruit those fishermen around the coast to form the first generation of navy.
However, in terms of combat effectiveness, these fishermen are afraid that they will be much worse. It may be more time-consuming and laborious to train than for the Junior Army.
Moreover, many of these fishermen may be the eyes of pirates, or they may be part of the pirates, and if they are taken into the army, they may be time bombs at any time.
Therefore, he had to give up this idea and let Dongli Mountain slowly train the soldiers of the subordinate army. He only hoped that Dongli Mountain would be able to get his soldiers into battle as soon as possible.
Just as Jiang Chao was making various preparations, seven places along the coast, a seven-way army launched an attack on seven cities along the coast.
These seven-way Japanese armies belong to the seven forces, but under the union of Nobuorimaru, they have united into one force.
The coastal cities they attacked were Yongcheng, Futian City, Yunlian City, Wenling City, Puqing City, Dongqing City, and Puyun City.
Except for Yongcheng, which sent an army of 30,000, the other six cities sent more than 10,000 troops.
The seven cities are about the same size, if you really want to say that it is big, it may be that Yongcheng is a little bigger. But the strength of the defenders was 2,000 men.
However, since Nobuorimaru was the most powerful of the seven forces, and his troops plus the pirates he subdued, there were 100,000 people, so he sent the largest number of troops.
If it weren't for the uncertainty of the situation, and Shinorimaru didn't want to take too much risk, he still hid on the island of Putuo, he might have sent an army of 100,000 and went directly to seize the Qian Mansion.
Seven days later, the Japanese people's battle to capture the seven coastal cities began at the same time. They sent ninjas to infiltrate the city, and then easily captured the east gate with great combat power.
The entire Yongcheng city lasted almost less than half an hour before it was breached, and most of the 2,000 guards in the city were killed, and a small number surrendered. There are also some that break through.
And those defenders who surrendered were hanged directly on the city gate, and the Japanese wanted to use this to deter the people in the city.
When the people saw this, they all trembled with fear, and their eyes were full of fear and despair.
The same is true of six other cities along the coast. The Japanese took all seven coastal cities in almost half a day.
Jiang Chao, who was in Qian Wen's Mansion, showed a look of astonishment in his eyes when he heard the news. He could never have imagined that the coastal defenders at this time would be so incompetent.
However, from the information that came back, he had a new understanding of the war patterns of the Wa people.
Using ninjas to open the city gate can be said to be fatal to ordinary soldiers, especially those government troops like those in Mingzhou Mansion before.
In his previous life, Jiang Chao had learned the power of those ninjas, which made people unguardable. Headaches. The combat effectiveness is also extremely strong.
Ninjas are even better at assassination, even on the battlefield, they will hide where you can't see, and then, out of nowhere, come out and give you a fatal blow.
If the Lord is killed on the battlefield, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable. Once the army's heart appears to be dissolved, the end is already doomed.
Even if the subordinate army encounters such a battle mode, I am afraid that it may also suffer. However, it is unlikely that the ninja decapitation method will be used to break the hearts of the children's army.
The training model of the subordinate army is that the officer of the main rank dies and the deputy rank replaces. The sub-level dies, and the next level replaces. Until the entire army dies to the last man. On the chain of command, there will be absolutely no blind spots.
Moreover, although the combat mode of the soldiers of the Zidi Army is mainly based on unity and cooperation, they also pay attention to the extremely strong individual combat ability.
It will definitely not just rely on the group to survive, even if the troops are scattered and defeated, as long as there are still soldiers, the fighting will not stop.
Jiang Chao remembered one of the most classic examples in his previous life, when China was also invaded, but the enemy country turned an invasion war into a battle to defend the capital.
Among them, three fighters chased after a battalion of the enemy after losing contact with the large army. It was with three people that he captured a battalion of the enemy.
If the Zidi Army encounters the Japanese in such a battle mode, even if those ninjas can behead high-ranking officers, it is even more difficult to break the hearts of the Zidi Army than to ascend to the sky.
Jiang Chao immediately issued an order for a counterattack to the 30,000 troops who rushed in, and the 30,000 men were divided into six routes, with 5,000 people each marching to the six cities along the coast.
And he took the 10,000 soldiers on the side of Qian Weifu and rushed to the nearest Yongcheng. He was worried that he would not have a chance to destroy the Japanese people.
Now that they are occupying the city, they have given him a chance to annihilate them all, and he will definitely not give these Japanese people a chance to escape back.
The other six armies marched towards their respective goals, and Jiang Chao also rushed to Yongcheng, which was occupied by Shinorimaru, with 10,000 soldiers.
Nobuorimaru was not arrogant because he took Yongcheng, nor did he move his nest from Putuo in Shanzhou to Yongcheng.
He is waiting for the reaction of Huaxia's side, and he is also waiting for his subordinates to take root in Yongcheng.
If, Huaxia's reaction is within his control, and he gradually controls the surrounding areas of Yongcheng, then it is time for him to move his base camp to Yongcheng.
When Jiang Chao arrived in Yongcheng, the Japanese people in Yongcheng were looting property in the city, and burning, killing and looting the people in the city.
The entire Yongcheng is in a dark, and the people of Yongcheng are also in dire straits.
Jiang Chao did not hesitate, he directly placed 2,000 people at each of the four city gates, and the remaining 2,000 people were used as reserves, he not only wanted to recapture the city, but also to annihilate 30,000 of the enemy troops.
At the head of Yongcheng City, the general under Nobuorimaru, Yanagi looked at the two thousand disciples in front of him, his eyes were full of ridicule and contempt.
Next to him was a young Chinese man. This person was dressed in Confucian clothes and looked like a Confucian student.
He is Liu Song's disciple Chu Ming, and he also went to the Wa Kingdom with Liu Song, and he is proficient in the Wa language, so he was sent by Liu Song to assist Liu Sheng.
"Mingjun, this is what you Chinese people call the subordinate army?! Look, that's just it, haha, they really don't know what to do, they want to use 10,000 people to take Yongcheng, they really don't know whether to live or die! Haha......"
