Chapter 556: Military Order

People are afraid of death, and when the guards heard that Kato Kiyomasa had asked him to bring a thousand people to attract the attention of the enemy, he was so frightened that his soul was lost. I just felt that I dug a pit myself, and then jumped into it and was buried by someone else.

But he couldn't refuse, because he still wanted to contribute to the country in his heart.

So, it's tangled.

The escort set off with a thousand men and horses, which cannot be described as vast and sacrificed to death, and even sitting on a horse will feel weak.

When an ordinary person watches death approach, he must be in fear, so he dies.

After watching the small army set off, Kato Kiyomasa gathered his troops and horses to advance towards Shimayama Castle, striving to reach Shimayama in the shortest possible time and capture the castle.

The solution marched overnight, due to the enemy's deliberate exposure of his whereabouts. So on the morning of the next day, he found the traces of the enemy, and the two sides fought, and Mao Guoqi led a team of men and horses to rush back and forth to kill.

Within a moment, more than half of the 1,000 Japanese were killed and wounded, and the remaining half were able to escape, and in order to survive, they could no longer care about the mission of attracting the attention of the enemy army, so they got on their horses and fled.

"Lao Jie, I killed more than 600 enemies, but I think there is a problem. Mao Guoqi took off his helmet and stuck the steel knife on the ground.

Xie Fang's face was not very good-looking, "This is obviously used by the enemy army to attract our attention, I'm afraid that the large army has already withdrawn." ”

"Where will it go?"

They were not familiar with the terrain of North Korea, so they had to order someone to bring a map. After careful analysis, the two finally came to the same conclusion, "Go to Island Mountain!"

"Look at the map drawn, this island and mountain terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, could it be that the Japanese want to use this as the last foothold, and they can't defend it?" Xie Fang felt that he was too careless, and he didn't even find out the enemy's intentions.

"In that case, the march must be accelerated, and the coalition forces in Island Mountain City are in danger. Mao Guoqi said and put on his helmet and turned over on his horse, "Lao Xie, we can't wait any longer, the Japanese are already ahead of us." ”

The solution finally ordered a rapid march to the island mountain, and the last night's march had not rested until now, and began to advance again, and the soldiers were physically exhausted, but they were also dead. Even if it was the fastest, it was a little later than the Wako, and after another day, when they arrived at the island mountain, they found that the city gate was closed, and no one knew what was going on inside.

At this time, I suddenly saw a small group of people on the side of the city wall quickly approaching the city gate, wearing the uniforms of the Japanese robbers, and the number was basically the same as yesterday's escape.

Xie Fang knew in his heart that it seemed that the final destination of the Japanese was indeed Daoshan, and after the small army successfully attracted the attention of our army, the large army should capture the city overnight.

It's just that now he still has a glimmer of hope, wishing that he is ahead of the Japanese and that the island mountain is not lost.

But in fact, just this morning, Kato Kiyomasa has already commanded a large army to attack the island mountain, although this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the defenders are negligent in guarding, and the Japanese have been prepared, the number is superior, after the fierce fight between the two sides, the Japanese have successfully captured the city.

Now Kato Kiyomasa has assigned the soldiers the task of defending the city, this is their last position, and if it is lost, the whole army will be destroyed.

At this time, someone came to report that a small force of 300 people had been found in the city, and it was identified that they had sent 1,000 men yesterday. At the same time, a large number of Ming troops outside the city were ready to attack, as if they were going to attack the city.

The problem now is that open the city gates and let your own people in, but this will definitely allow the Ming army to find a flaw to attack.

In fact, this is not a problem for Kato Kiyomasa at all, because he will not open the city gate at all, giving the Ming army a little opportunity. It's just 300 people, and if he dies, he will die, and as long as he can keep the army, he is willing to die another 300 people.

Under the city gates, a wounded guard knocked on the door, shouting for help. He was lucky not to die, thinking that he had escaped death, and desperately rushed to Shimayama with the rest of the people, hoping to join Kato Kiyomasa's large army.

But no matter how hard he knocked on the door, the door that needed to be looked up to see was closed.

His own man appeared on the city wall, looking down at him, with pity in his eyes, but no compassion.

The man told him aloud that the general's order was not to open the door.

It was only at this time that the guards felt that the country and generals they had been loyal to all their lives did not care about his life or death.

War can make people dehumanize, because war pursues victory, killing, not saving people.

In the end, the 300 or so people sat on the ground in despair, leaning against the cold city wall, and sang the song of their hometown. At this time, they finally regretted it, thought of their relatives, thought of their friends, and thought of the days that were once stable.

Why do you have to invade other countries?

Countless arrows were shot from the Ming army on the opposite side, and more than 300 people were pierced by thousands of arrows.

The solution ordered the siege of the city, and the Japanese and the Japanese marched with them all night, and they must have not yet set up defenses just after taking the city, so this is the best time.

However, when the whole army was preparing to attack, the large army suddenly separated from the two sides and made way for a way.

One person and one horse held up the letter and shouted, "Lord Yang's secret order, get out of the way!"

Xie Fang dismounted, opened the letter, and then the whole person was stunned.

"Old Jie, what is written on it?" Mao Guoqi saw that his face changed suddenly, and he knew that he was afraid that Yang Hao had something to do.

Xie Fang slapped the letter on Mao Guoqi's chest, "See for yourself!"

Mao Guoqi took the letter and looked at it, "What! Stop marching and wait for the big army in place?"

His eyes were like bull's eyes, and he couldn't believe it, "What the fuck does this mean? Is Yang Ho crazy?"

The herald frowned when he heard this, but he didn't dare to warn, these generals were not good-tempered, and they were all angry, and after saying that, they couldn't wait for a meal.

Xie Fang clenched his fists, looked at the island and mountain city not far away, and looked back at Mao Guoqi, "Take a gamble?"

"Do you want to disobey military orders?" Mao Guoqi also had this idea, but when he saw the words of military law in the back, he still hesitated.

"I can't take care of it, now that the Japanese are tired, if they don't attack and give them a chance to breathe, even if the large army arrives, I'm afraid they won't be able to attack. Xie Fang grabbed the saddle and tried to turn over and get on the horse.

"It's too risky, if it is not captured, it will be disobeying the military order and beheading!"

"Are you afraid?" Xie Fang deliberately used the words to provoke Mao Guoguo, hoping to be useful.

"Aren't you afraid, do you know the real purpose of Yang Haorang's refusal?" Mao Guoqi had already called him by his name, indicating that he was also angry.

"What's the purpose, it's clearly a pig's head, stupid!"

Mao Guoqi shook his head and said: "You think Yang Hao is too simple, this is a war, what if he makes a decision after careful consideration? ”

This is also the reason why Mao Guoqi did not dare to disobey the military order, death is not terrible for them at all, that is, a trembling head to the ground, and eighteen years later, he is a good man.

However, in case Yang Hao really has a plan to annihilate the enemy army. Wouldn't it be a ruin to the overall situation if they acted recklessly like this?
