Kazuya Ninomiya said in a deep voice: "A true warrior will learn a lesson after defeat, and will take revenge on the enemy in the near future, and wash away the shame with the blood and corpses of the enemy!" Katsuto Ninomiya got up, knelt in front of Kazuya Ninomiya, and let out a sigh of shame on his face.

Kazuya Ninomiya frowned and asked, "How did you lose?" You just said that you were defeated by one of the opponent's fierce generals? And the opponent's 1,000 troops defeated your 3,000 elites? ”

Ninomiya Katsuto recalled the scene of that battle, and still had palpitations, and said: "The other party is a very heroic general!" I, I was all wrong! The Ming warrior is indeed brave and amazing, I didn't hold out for three rounds before he shot down the horse, if it weren't for the samurai desperately saving each other, I would have died on the battlefield! Everyone was in an uproar, although they had just heard Ninomiya Katsuto say that he had lost to a great Ming general, but they didn't know the details yet, and they all took it for granted that no matter how powerful the Ming warrior was, he would definitely have to fight with Ninomiya Katsuto for dozens of rounds before it was possible to defeat him. At this time, I heard that in less than three rounds, Katsuto Ninomiya was shot down and almost died, how not to be shocked inexplicably!

Katsuto Ninomiya continued: "More than a dozen high-ranking samurai rushed out to save me, and that great Ming warrior was not afraid to face a dozen people, urging the horse to face the battle. I saw him cut through our people, and in an instant five samurai were cut off by him! ”

If everyone was shocked when they heard what Katsuto Ninomiya said just now, then they were shocked after hearing his words now. Fighting against a dozen high-ranking samurai and killing five people in an instant, such combat power is simply unbelievable! Is this something that humans can do? It is clear that only the legendary eight-pronged serpent has such terrifying power! For a while, there was silence in the big tent, and the needles could be heard, and an inexplicable emotion lingered in everyone's hearts.

Kuroyama suddenly shouted: "No matter how strong the enemy is, we can defeat it!" We can definitely defeat the Ming people! And the crowd shouted.

Kazuya Ninomiya asked Katsuto Ninomiya, "How did the enemy defeat your 3,000 elites with a thousand men?" ”

Ninomiya Katsuto frowned and said, "They are frontal killing!" Like a group of fierce tigers, like a raging wave, we couldn't resist it at all, and in the blink of an eye, the army collapsed! ”

Kazuya Ninomiya frowned, his heart full of shock, and at the same time he felt that the situation was not at all what he had imagined before.

Changzong Yishou frowned and said, "It seems that we are all wrong. Our 200,000-strong army was defeated and lost, not because of the blind command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or not entirely because of this reason. The enemy is indeed fierce, far beyond our previous imagination. At this time, even Taro Kuro, who is usually the most arrogant, did not refute it.

Kazuya Ninomiya said happily: "Fortunately, we were cautious enough and did not attack rashly." After a pause, "The main force of the enemy should still be on the Nagasaki Peninsula and Oyano Island now, and it will not be possible to move over in a short time." We still have time to move in, so we will immediately send the order down, and the army will move towards Saeki. Everyone cheered in unison. Some friends may not understand what it means to turn in, hehe, in fact, this is a unique term in the Japanese military, in fact, it is retreat, in the Japanese, there has never been the word retreat, it is always called transfer, and the annihilation of the whole army is not called the annihilation of the whole army, it is called the whole jade shattered.

After the order to turn in was given, the army of the four countries immediately turned around 180 degrees and marched towards Saeki.

Look back to Kumamoto. Yang Peng regretted it after he couldn't control his emotions. Originally, Yang Peng saw that the enemy was so arrogant and arrogant, so he planned to deliberately show the enemy's weakness, attract the enemy's main force, and then use the main force to surround the enemy army and gather and annihilate it. However, he couldn't bear it after all, and rode his horse into battle. This victory was very satisfying, but it completely ruined his own plan to lure the enemy into depth, and he knew that after this battle, the Japanese people would definitely not march on Kumamoto again after they had learned their own strength. So Yang Peng immediately canceled the previous battle plan, sent someone to order the main force to come to Kumamoto to rest, and at the same time ordered Liu Zhiliang to lead the elite to wait for the opportunity to seize Nagasaki.

When Liu Zhiliang received Yang Peng's order, he was already in Nagasaki City. It turned out that after Liu Zhiliang eliminated the main force of Uesugi Nobuo in one fell swoop, he immediately led 5,000 men and horses to attack Nagasaki. When they arrived at the castle of Nagasaki, the soldiers and civilians in the city did not know that Nobuo Uesugi had been defeated. When Liu Zhiliang launched an attack, the names of the residents in the city did not react for a while, and in the blink of an eye, the Ming army had broken through the city, and the senior samurai who stayed in the city committed suicide, and the chief executive surrendered.

After Liu Zhiliang received Yang Peng's order, he immediately ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Nagasaki, and at the same time ordered the various departments in the south to move to Kumamoto, and he himself rushed to Kumamoto. After several days of fighting, the Ming army was already quite tired, so Yang Peng suspended military operations, and the armies moved to rest.

Look to Kyoto. On this early morning, under the mild sun, the whole of Kyoto should have been very peaceful and peaceful; However, the news of the defeat at the front reached Kyoto, and the soldiers and civilians of Kyoto were terrified, and some nobles and commoners fled in panic to the northeastern interior, which was farther away from Kyushu, and for a time the whole of Kyoto was in chaos.

Tamamo was still sleeping in bed as usual, enjoying a comfortable sleep, but the noise outside woke her up, and she wanted to sleep again, but the noise outside was like countless flies lingering overhead, and she couldn't sleep at all. Tamamo was very angry, sat up, and shouted, "Someone! ”

The wooden door was immediately pushed open, and a maid crouched down in the aisle outside the door and let out a loud noise.

Tamamo asked angrily, "What's going on in the city, why is it so noisy?" ”

The maid said: "I heard that the front line has been defeated! Everyone is scared, and many people are busy fleeing Kyoto, so it's so noisy! ”

The bewitching face in front of Yuzao showed a look of surprise, and asked, "The front line is defeated?" Are you saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was defeated? ”

"Yes. I heard that the 200,000-strong army under the command of General Gen Yoshitsune, General Nario Samuro and General Nobuo Uesugi was almost wiped out! And the Shikoku army under the command of General Ninomiya has also suffered a setback and has retreated to Saeki. ”

Yuzao said incredulously: "I heard that the Han people only have 30,000 or 40,000 people, how can they defeat our army of more than 200,000 people?" ”

The maid showed a look of great fear on her face and said, "Master, those Han people are not human beings at all, they are devils, and they are the demon army under the command of the eight-pronged serpent!" Fierce and cruel, our warriors are simply vulnerable in front of them! I heard that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost died at their hands! Hosts, they are so horrible! ”

Tamamo didn't show a look of fear, but her pretty face became more bewitching, as if she had found the prey that interested her the most.

Tamamo showed a bewitching smile in front of him and muttered, "It seems that there are men who are more courageous than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

Yuhito received the news in Fukuoka that Kazuya Ninomiya had led his army back to Saeki, and his feelings were a little complicated. Yuan Yijing came in, bowed to Yongren, and said, "Brother Yu, I just received news that the Ming army has broken through Nagasaki. ”

Yongren frowned and said, "The loss of Nagasaki is expected. Then he asked nervously: "Where is the Ming Army now?" Did you march to Saeki, or did you come to Fukuoka? ”

"According to what our scouts have obtained, the enemy forces have suspended their advance, and the main force is now resting in Kumamoto."

When Yongren heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then frowned again, muttering: "After the Han people have finished resting, they are bound to attack again!" What should we do? What should I do? Yuan Yijing said: "Brother Yu, I think the Six Dao Army should be transferred." Yongren immediately thought of the last trump card that had been training in secret, and his originally flustered expression suddenly became as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, we still have six armies!" We can also turn defeat into victory! ”

Friends who have read the previous article should know the so-called 'Six Dao Army', which is the most elite unit under the command of Zuo Chengxiong. However, today's 'Six Dao Army' is no longer the same as the Six Dao Army at that time, and when the Japanese people in Goryeo saw the power of the Jin people Kuaima Rui soldiers and the bravery of the Yanyun Army, they felt that it was impossible to confront these two powerful empires with the current samurai and ashigaru, so Yong Ren began to form similar elite troops after he took power. Based on the elite troops under the command of Zuo Chengxiong, all equipment and tactics were modeled on the Khitan Army and the Ming Army, and a total of 50,000 elite troops were formed, including 40,000 infantry troops and 10,000 cavalry, and the infantry army were all wearing heavy armor similar to the Khitan Army and the Ming Army, and the weapons gave up the traditional katana and Taidao, and used the broadsword and battle axe similar to the heavy armor troops of the Khitan Army and the Ming Army; As for the cavalry, the Japanese people are already short of war horses, and it is already their best to be able to form 10,000 cavalry, and the quality of these war horses is not even comparable to the war horses of the Khitan army, let alone compared with the war horses of the Ming army, so although Yongren wants to form these 10,000 war cavalry into heavy armored cavalry, but in the end he can only form 10,000 light cavalry dressed in samurai armor.

The 50,000 elite troops formed by Yongren completely broke the rank of samurai and ashigaru all along, and completely imitated the composition of the Khitan Army and the Ming Army, especially the Ming Army. However, his unconventional approach was resented by many daimyo and samurai in the country.

Yongren and the entire Japanese high-level have high hopes for this new army, but it is still difficult to say how much this army will be able to exert in the end.

Yonghito said to Gen Yoshitsune: "Immediately pass on my order to transfer the Six Dao Army to Fukuoka." Yuan Yijing promised and ran down.

Soon after, Fujiwara Shimitsu and Fujiwara Narikin, who had stayed in Kyoto, sent a reply that they had refused Yuhito's order. Fujiwara Shiguang said in his reply: Your Highness Mingjian, the strength of the Ming Army is far beyond imagination, and it is still unknown whether the Six Dao Army can compete with them. However, judging from the combat effectiveness shown by the Ming Army at present, the possibility of the Six Dao Army turning defeat into victory can be said to be very small. If the Rokudo Army were to be defeated again in Kyushu, Kyoto and Honshu would lose their strongest defensive forces. Once the Ming army takes advantage of the situation to attack Kyoto, it will be difficult for us to defend. This is a little shallow opinion of the foolish minister, and please ask His Highness to learn from it.

Yong Ren frowned and paced back and forth, also hesitating in his heart. He was now in a dilemma, if he wanted to hold Kyushu Island, he had to mobilize the Six Paths Army, but as Fujiwara Shimitsu and Fujiwara Nariko said in their reply, no one could guarantee that the Six Paths Army could turn defeat into victory. If the Six Dao Army can turn defeat into victory, then it is naturally the best, but if the Six Dao Army cannot fight against the Ming Army, then Honshu and Kyoto will lose their most powerful escort force, and then the Ming Army will take advantage of the situation to attack Kyoto, and things will be unimaginable.

However, if the Six Dao Army is not mobilized, judging from the current situation, Kyushu may not be able to hold it, so the only way to do this is to abandon Kyushu Island. Thinking of this, Yongren's face couldn't help but turn pale and tremble, because he thought that no ruler of the Yamato nation had ever lost such a large territory in history, and if he lost such a large territory, it would inevitably become the biggest shame in the history of the Yamato nation.

Yuhito hesitated for a long time, and finally did not dare to take the responsibility of losing the entire Kyushu, and felt that he could not explain to the samurai daimyo of Kyushu if he lost the entire Kyushu, so he decided to fight again. However, Yuhito's idea was not to mobilize all the six Dao troops to come to Kyushu to fight against the Yanyun army, but to transfer 10,000 six Dao infantry troops and tens of thousands of samurai Ashigaru to support Fukuoka, and at the same time order Ninomiya Kazuya to defend Saeki. He felt that as long as he could hold these two castles, there would be hope for recovering the entire island of Kyushu in the future. Immediately Yuhito passed down the order, and at the same time ordered Fujiwara Shimitsu Fujiwara Narita to assemble a large number of artillery and gunpowder to transport to Fukuoka and Saeki, and he felt that it was impossible to hold these two castles without a large number of artillery and gunpowder. This time, Yonghito gave the order in a strict tone and form, and Fujiwara Shimitsu and Fujiwara Nariko faced such an order, but they could no longer raise any objections.

Shimazu Shigehiro, the general of the Japanese navy, was worried that the enemy's attention would turn to him, and at the same time he felt that the army on land had been defeated like a mountain, and there was no point in his navy staying here any longer, so he decided to move in.

At this moment, the sentinel ship came with the news that a large fleet of ships had been discovered from the west. Shimazu Shigehao was taken aback when he heard this, he thought that the Daming Navy was about to take action against him. But then he calmed down and thought, 'How can the enemy's navy come from the west, when it is from the north, and it is coming to attack us?' Immediately, his heart moved, and Shigehiro Shimazu became excited, and said loudly: "It must be Daming's support fleet!" Great, finally waiting for them! Shigehiro Shimazu decided to attack, but for the sake of safety, he did not immediately give the order to attack, but ordered the sentinel ships to find out the situation of the fleet, whether it was the transport fleet or the fleet.

At midnight that day, Shigehiro Shimazu received a report that the fleet coming from the west was the Ming convoy, not the fleet. There are more than 100 large and small sea vessels. Shigehao Shimazu was inexplicably excited, and immediately ordered all the warships to attack, and all the warships rushed towards Yanyun's transport fleet like wolves.

The Ming convoy continued to sail northeast in the night, sailing at night on the sea, and it was almost impossible to distinguish between the sea and the sky where the sky was and where the sea was. A lookout who came to take over came to the main mast and shouted at the top, "Hey, I'm here to take over." The lookout, who was standing at the top of the mast, pointed ahead and shouted, "There seems to be something ahead." The people below looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that there seemed to be many dark shadows in the dim and dark sea. The lookout on the mast shouted, "It looks like a fleet, and there are quite a few of them!" The lookout below laughed and said, "It must be our fleet." The lookout above felt that he was right. Climbing down from the mast, he said, "We have to send a signal to the other ships, and also to the navy in front." As he spoke, he picked up a torch and lit it, sending out a signal according to the rules that had been formed among Yan Yun's seafarers.

The ships of the convoy responded with signals, but strangely enough, the navy on the opposite side did not react at all. At this time, the ships of the convoy had stopped on the spot, and many of the convoys signaled to the navy on the opposite side, but the navy on the opposite side still did not respond, as if they did not see it. Everyone was very surprised, and they didn't know what was going on with the navy on the other side.

The navy's fleet was getting closer and closer, and at last it was close enough for everyone to see what the ships were. Wherever the navy warships are, they are clearly the warships of the Japanese people. The people were horrified and went into chaos. At this moment, the Japanese warships attacked, only to see a rain of fire flying towards the convoy, at the same time, some of the Japanese warships were full of smoke and fire, thunderous loud resounding across the sea, the middle of the convoy water column soared into the sky, the mast was broken, the sailors fell into the water, and the shouts and shouts were loud.

……

At noon the next day, the sentry of the Daming Navy who was leading the navy to guard the southern part of Oyano Island noticed several ships coming from a distance. The sentry immediately raised the alarm. The soldiers of the Ming army were in place one after another, Wang Rong boarded the lookout platform, looked south, and sure enough, he saw several ships coming with white smoke. Wang Rong didn't feel like an enemy, and after a while, she found that the appearance of those ships seemed to be the appearance of her own civilian transport cargo ships, and she couldn't help but have a bad premonition in her heart. An order was immediately issued, and without an order, no warship could attack.

Soon after, those cargo ships sailed in front of them, and sure enough, they were the cargo ships of their own people. However, the hull of the ship was scarred, and in many places there were traces of flames, and it was clear that they had just experienced a terrible catastrophe.

The cargo ships stopped in front of the battleship formation, and the sailors on it waved and shouted in this direction, looking very excited.

Wang Rong ordered someone to put down the boat and go over to pick up people. A moment later, the boat came with a middle-aged man and an old man. The two followed the sailors to Wang Rong's flagship and saw Wang Rong in a heroic uniform. The two ordinary people did not introduce the sailors, but they felt that Wang Rong was the main general here, and immediately bowed together: "The grass people meet the general!" ”

Wang Rong frowned and said, "Who are you?" What's going on? The old man hurriedly said: "General, hurry up and send troops, otherwise everyone will definitely be killed by the Japanese slaves!" Wang Rong said: "Don't worry, make things clear first." The old man cried and said, "We came to support the army with grain and grass on the orders of the Governor, and we didn't want to encounter the Japanese army on the way!" The Japanese people who were killed that day killed people when they saw them, and everyone suffered heavy casualties! Hurry up and send your troops, general, or ......"

Wang Rong understood what was going on, frowned, and asked urgently, "Where did you encounter the ambush?" The old man showed a blank look and said, "Grass people, grass people don't know where it is?" I only know that it was an ambush in the middle of the night last night, and we ran desperately to the north with a few boats, and Ranou met the general. ”

When Wang Rong heard him say this, it was estimated that the place where the convoy was attacked was half a day's sea journey to the south. An order was immediately issued to keep a small number of warships in place, and a large group of men rushed to the rescue of the convoy. The sound of the herald's horn echoed behind the sea, and the Yanyun fleet took anchor one after another, with cruisers as the vanguard, and ballista warships as the wings and headed straight to the south.

After noon, the Daming Navy saw a mess on the water in front of them, many ships were half-sinking and half-floating on the water, the corpses and the wreckage of the ships were almost all over the sea, and many people were crying for help in the water. However, there was no longer half of the Japanese at the scene, and I think they had already retreated after the raid was successful.

Wang Rong was greatly annoyed, and immediately ordered the clippers to search for the enemy in the east, west, and south, and the cruiser was on guard around it, and the ballista warships entered the rescue. The navy sprang into action, with clippers searching for the enemy in east, west, and south, cruisers scattered in battle formations to guard the perimeter, and ballista ships entering the messy sea to rescue the sailors who had fallen overboard, and to fight for floating bodies and supplies.

Wang Rong looked at the scene in front of her, her brows furrowed tightly. ……

Yang Peng received a message from Wang Rong in Kumamoto and learned that the transport fleet had been attacked and almost all the troops were wiped out. Yang Peng was very annoyed, then thought about it, and muttered: "I was too careless, I even thought that the Japanese water army would not cause any trouble!" "I walked to the map and looked at the waters that enveloped the four islands of the Japanese kingdom, and felt that in order to secure the fruits of the current victory and further expand the victory, it was necessary to completely eliminate the Japanese naval army. As soon as he thought of this, he adjusted the previously designated attack plan in his mind, and decided to attack simultaneously on land and sea, so as to completely eliminate the Japanese naval army and occupy the entire island of Kyushu in the shortest possible time. The strategy of the offensive on land has already been well thought out, and there is nothing to think about, but what should be done about the offensive strategy at sea? Yang Peng fell into deep thought.

Many methods flashed through Yang Peng's mind, but there were some problems with these methods, and Yang Peng couldn't think of a very appropriate way for a while. simply put this matter down for the time being, walked out of the palace, looked at the landscape in front of him, and only felt a big heart.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
