Chapter 288, 289 The first day of shopping... Stonewall offensive and defensive battle!(1/2)

Li Luo led his 8,000 troops to the north overnight. On June 12, he came to Tsushima Island again.

At this time, Tsushima Island had become a ghost creature, and no one buried the Japanese corpses slaughtered by the Yuan army. Li Luo could only camp on a remote coast with a leeward and dared not go deep into the island to prevent the army from getting sick from being infected with "corpse gas".

In short, he had to wait for more than a month on Tsubasa Island. Of course he couldn't be idle for such a long time, so he simply trained landings on Tsubasa Island while cutting down trees and building siege equipment.

Li Luo also did something despicable. He sent a Goryeo officer from the Jianghua Navy to send a letter back to Hepu, Goryeo to prepare another 20,000 shi of military rations, 5,000 pairs of armor, 5,000 bows, 5,000 long spears, 5,000 straight knives, and 100,000 feather arrows to Tsushima Island for reserve.

It seems that Li Luo is so brave that he is out of bounds. He dares to represent the general of the Eastern Expedition Army and asks the rear to supplement military supplies without authorization.

But he did not act recklessly, but knew that the Eastern Expedition Army was wiped out in the later period, Xindu, Jin Fangqing and others fled back to their country in a mess. No one cared about this matter at that time, and no one even found out that Li Luo asked for a batch of supplementary supplies under the Eastern Expedition Army.

So what if someone mentioned this afterwards? Li Luo could be said to be for "public heart" and the meaning of Shangluo Gong. He also made an expedition for the Eastern Expedition and for the Yuan Dynasty, he did not embezzle himself, right?

The officials in charge of the subsequent transportation of food and supplies in Goryeo Hepu had already had the task of replenishing supplies. But they did not expect that the Eastern Expedition Army would send people back so soon to ask for things.

Li Luo was just trying it out and didn't expect anyone to agree. However, the Goryeo officer who came back reported that the military chief had agreed, but it took time to get it together. It would probably take a month to deliver it to Tsushima Island.

This is not because the Goryeo officials are credulous. But in their subconscious, Tsushima Island should have been a military-capacity transit station, so they must be divided into troops and left behind.

After occupying the horse, it is not a problem and it is normal to store a batch of reserve military supplies and replenish the front line at any time. How could they know that Xindu, the stubborn and arrogant, did not send anyone to stay behind the horse?

Li Luo's treacherous personality is reflected here. He used to earn hundreds of millions of dollars, but now he has reached the fourth grade in less than two years, relying on two moves. One move is to "taking advantage of the situation" and the other move is to "coax".

Thinking of a large number of troops that needed to fall into his hands, Li Luo felt happy and was so happy that he didn't want it.

He knew very well that after the hurricane, the remaining 100,000 troops on Eagle Island not only disappeared, but also lost their ships, but also lost all supplies, and many people lost their weapons in their training.

Otherwise, how could the 100,000 remaining troops be easily destroyed by the Japanese army?

Li Luo was doing great things on Tsushima Island, but the Yuan army on the front line was fighting bloody battles.

By June 20, Xindu, who had been waiting for the Jiangnan army for a long time, finally lost his patience. He ordered the Eastern Army to stop waiting for the Jiangnan army, but to leave Iki Island and drive into Hakata Bay to attack Kyushu Main Island.

At this time, the Kyushu, the Japanese Kingdom, was already ready.

The general of the Kyushu defense, guarding the three fronts and two islands, and the west is followed by the commander of the west. The Dazaifu, the deputy commander of the powerful commander, has gathered 50,000 elite troops, of which the Guangshu Yu family has more than 10,000!

Moreover, there were also samurai from all over the world who came continuously, including the great samurai Takeki Kazunaga, a folk hero, and the leader of the Kono Party, Torii Kono.

On the west coast of Jiuzhou, from Jinjin to Xiangqi, Japan spent five years to build a stone wall as a "guard for the Yuan gang". This "coast Great Wall" combines the coastal terrain and blocks the coast like an iron barrel.

Behind the "Yuan Bandits Defense" are 50,000 fully armed Japanese troops.

The strategic intention of Japan is to rely on the "Coast Great Wall" to firmly protect the coast, prevent the Yuan army from landing, and keep the Yuan army floating on the sea. As long as the Yuan army cannot land, it will not be able to play its advantages.

At the same time, Emperor Uta and ministers from Kyoto, who are already important officials of the shogunate, are praying for the gods and praying for the "eight million gods" to protect Yamato and send the damn Yuangang into the sea.

The shogunate ruled Hojo Toshizo, the Toshizo, ordered all to mobilize and prepare for war. On the one hand, he sent his younger brother Hojo Sora to preside over the defense of the west coast of Honshu, and on the other hand, he appointed Hojo Shimasaki as the general of Shinshu and presided over the overall situation of Kyushu.

More importantly, Hojo Toshizo also appointed Mikawa to guard Utsunomiya Sadatsura as the general of reinforcements, commanding 60,000 cavalry from the four countries, China and Kanto, and heading south to support Kyushu.

Not until this is over, the shogunate dispatched another mobilization of more than 100,000 troops from the Six Polo and Kansai areas to serve as the second wave of reinforcements.

The entire Japanese country has mobilized more than 200,000 elite troops!

Located in the Dazaifu (Xidu) in the Chumae Kingdom, in the congress hall in front of Suzaique Street, Shao Er, who also serves as the Dazaifu (the deputy behind Xidu), is presided over the Kyushu army discussion.

Daizaifu is the western capital of Japan, second only to Kyoto and Nara. The Daizaifu Council Office is the office of the highest commander of Kyushu, the commander of the Kyushu.

The real Xidu left behind is Dazai Shuai, but it is generally led by a prince far away in Kyoto, so Dazai Shuai (acting Dazai Shuai) is actually the Xidu left behind.

However, since the establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate, the Ozai Kō-ji gradually became a false position, and became a remote leader of the Shogunate. In fact, the Xidu stayed behind and became the Ozai Kō-ji (Deputy Hokō-ji).

Therefore, Shao Er Jingzi, who also served as the Dazai Daiyu, is currently the Xidu. Before the arrival of the Shinxi General Hojo Seimasa, he was the highest military and political chief in the entire Kyushu.

Moreover, according to the unwritten rules of Japan, even if the general of Shinsei Hojo Shimasaki came, he was only the nominal supreme leader, and the actual supreme commander was still Shao Erjingzi.

At this time, the magistrate hall was full of great warriors sitting in the helmets and armor. They were either guardians of various countries or high-level imperial families. They all looked solemn, kneeling on the couch, with their backs straight, and looked at Shao Erjingzi wearing gorgeous armor on the upper head seat.

"The Yuan gang warships are like mountains and are full of momentum. The survival and demise of Jiuzhou is here, and the rise and fall of the God Kingdom is here! The Dazaifu is an important town in Jiuzhou, only ten miles away from the seaside. It is the place where the Yuan gangs must fight for. If the Yuan gang lands, the Western Capital will be in danger!"

Shao Er Jingzi said in a deep voice, and suddenly retracted the folding fan in his hand, slapped it in the palm of his hand. Then, he opened it with a "wow" sound.

Sitting in the west and east of the town, the deputy seat, the town is in the west and east, and the emperor said, "What the young master said is very true. Now that the country is in danger of being in trouble, the demonic atmosphere is buzzing, the country of the gods is in danger of being buried, and the Yahe country is in danger of destruction. It is the time for us to serve the country for seven lifetimes and be loyal to the death!"

The samurai-sun below guarded Anda Shengzong, stood up suddenly and slashed the folding fan in his hand, "Your Excellency Shao Er, I am willing to personally lead the samurai warrior to guard Hirado and Shiga. There is no stone wall there, and once the tide falls, it can reach the Kyushu coast directly, which is the weakness of our army."

Shao Er Jingzi nodded, "Hirido and Shiga do need to be guarded. However, Andajun, we cannot fight hard with the Yuan Knights. At a critical moment, we can retreat to the south bank of Hakata Bay. As long as we don't let the Yuan Knights land, it will be a great achievement."

"Hi!" Anda Shengzong took the order, strode out of the official hall, and dispatched his troops to his subordinates.

Anda Shengzong's subordinate, Feihou Yu's family, Ji Chang, also stood up and said, "The subordinate general led Feihou sailors to form a fast fleet to nuisance the Yuan army fleet and prevent Yuan Kou Ansheng from attacking Shilei."

Shao Er Jingzi said, "The bravery of Zhuqi is full of nine provinces, and no one in the world knows it! I heard that the pirates of the Matsuura family also had a close relationship with Zhuqi, so I asked Zhuqi to take them to show their skills. I'll ask Zhuqi to Zhuqi to do this sea!"

He has a slender figure and looks like a crane among the Japanese. He closed his folding fan and said, "Hi! I will be buried in the waves of thousands of miles away. I will feed the corpse to the Yaqi Orochi. I swear to deal with the Yuan Kou to the end!"

When Takekiji grows out, Shao Er Jingzi said, "The Zongjun of Tsuma Island will definitely be killed. The Central Plains's great men such as Yunchang and Yue Wumu are not inferior to the kingdom of God! This cabinet has drafted a memorial to the Kyoto court, asking the court to posthumously grant Zongjun three posthumous titles, and return to the Ise Temple."

"If you don't let Zong Jun be beautiful in front of you, our cabinet will take care of you behind you! If our cabinet dies before you, please ask you to take care of you in the matter of honor and disgrace behind you."

The big samurai present nodded together and said, "Hi!"

Satsuma State guarding Shimazu Kuke stood up and said, "His general, will the navy be idle in the Xidu Water City Military Port? Seeing the army fighting bloody battles, the navy is hiding in the Water City, which is notorious."

Shao Er Jingzi pointed at Shimazu's folding fan that had been waving for a long time and said with a smile, "Sir Shimazu, what is the word written on your folding fan?"

When everyone saw that Shimazu's folding fan was so full of the word "nin".

Shimazu Rijue smiled bitterly and said, "What the General General reminds me is that I am eager to fight. Before the offense and defense are transferred, the main force of the navy should not be easily released."

The Satsuma Navy was the main force of the Kyushu Navy and was the killer weapon used to counterattack the Yuangang. Now it can only be hidden in the water city outside the Xidu and Ono Castle, and cannot fight with the Yuangang.

Therefore, the 10,000 naval forces of the Satsuma family are not counted as the 50,000 Japanese defenders. If we add Shimazu's 10,000 naval forces, the pirate naval forces of the Matsuura family, and other pirates, the total strength of the Kyushu Japanese army has exceeded 70,000.

"Ryuzaoji's family Qing, Ryuzaoji's Ji Shi!" Shao Er shouted.

"There is a humble minister!" Two strong samurai warriors stood up together. The Ryuzaoji brothers are from the family of the Faemaki Kingdom. Since the Faemaki Kingdom guards Shao Er Jingzi, they are also the retainers of Shao Er Jingzi.

"If you wait for the two of you to firmly guard the fifth section of the stone lane, it must be the fiercest place where the Yuan gang attacks!"

"Hi!"

Shao Er Jingzi stood up, "You guys immediately return to their respective combat positions and guard them strictly! As long as you wait for the 60,000 Liudi horse cavalry of Lord Satotsunobu Utsunomiya, it will be the time for us to counterattack!"

"Hi!"

The generals took the order in unison, rushed out of the congressman's hall, quickly left the city, and rushed to the stone wall fortress several miles away to the west. The new round of attacks by the Yuan Kou should have begun soon.

As the general of the defense of Kyushu, Shao Er Jingzi would certainly not sit in the official hall and wait. He hurried to the front line with a brigade of personal guards and warriors, preparing to supervise the defense battle of the entire coastal Great Wall.

…………

Shortly after the Japanese generals returned to their respective frontier camps, the Yuan army indeed launched the third landing battle.

Unsurprisingly, the Goryeo army was still the leader, while the Mongolian army and the Red Army of the Discovery Army were responsible for firing arrows in the back.

Although the Japanese army's coastal Great Wall was not high, only about one meter high, it was extremely strong. Moreover, its location was higher than the beach, which completely allowed the Japanese army to occupy the geographical advantage of defending the stone walls and being condescending.

On the other hand, the Yuan army was not only unable to arrange the narrow beach, but also unable to spread it. The terrain was extremely unfavorable and was almost blocked by the Japanese army and could not get on the shore.

The long-range attack weapon stone cannons on the Yuan army warships also became idle due to the lack of stone bullets. The original cannons equipped on the Yuan army warships made a lot of noise when they were set off, but they did not have much lethality and could not blow up the Japanese stone cannons at all.

However, the Japanese army was able to hide behind the stone wall, burst out arrows from close range, and stabbed the Yuan army climbing the stone wall with dense spears like a forest.

This is the third landing battle in the Yuan army in a few days. The first two battles were half a day of bloody battles, and they were completely filled with human lives, but they could not capture the stone wall, leaving thousands of corpses behind.

Although the Yuan army had the advantage in total, it was difficult to get ashore, and more than a half-man were idle on the ship and could not fully invest the troops, which made the troops at a disadvantage in the local battlefield space of both sides' offensive and defense.

The local force is inferior, and the attacking side is still the enemy on the defense, and the stone walls are still there. How can I fight this battle?

During this period, the Yuan army looked for suitable landing places everywhere, but found that there were stone walls and fortresses everywhere, and there were elite Japanese troops defending them everywhere, just like a dog eating a hedgehog, and there was no place to find the mouth.

The army cannot reach the shore, and the horses of the Mongolian army and the Red Army of the Probing Horse are useless, and they are useless. The Yuan army cannot leverage the advantages of cavalry and the advantages of large corps cluster combat, and it is impossible to take advantage of the little bit of advantage. It is really disappointing.

At this time, the previous scene was staged on both sides of the stone wall again.

The Goryeo warriors who were in charge of the generals rushed to the stone wall, and the archers of all races behind them were desperately sending arrows. The Japanese army on the defense also shot arrows desperately, and the spearmen were tirelessly stabbing out the spears.

Not only were feather arrows and spears, but countless wooden guns, bamboo guns, stones, and raindrops flew out from behind the stone wall. The Korean soldiers attacking the wall screamed.

"Kill the chicken!"

"kill!"

"Puff..."

"ah……"

The sound of shouting, the sound of bows and arrows, the sound of swords and guns hitting, the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh, the sound of war drums, the sound of screams and wailing sounds, and the sound of shocking the sea and the sky was extremely tragic.

On the narrow beach that was several miles long, there were corpses in a mess, blood flowing like a river, and sand dyed red. Many people were shot in unprotected faces, and many were stabbed to death by spears.

The main equipment of the Goryeo army is leather armor, and only officers above the corps commander are equipped with iron armor. The leather armor has good effect on defending bows and arrows and chopping, but it is difficult to defend against spears at close range.

With this wave of strong attacks again in vain, the casualties were huge, and the low morale Goryeo army could no longer bear it and retreated across the line, leaving behind corpses on the ground and the wounded who were wailing and screaming.

Xindu on the ship watched the Goryeo army retreat again, and couldn't help but say angrily, "Coward! The Goryeo people are really cowards! They gave their courage to their enemies!"

The Mongolian and Semu generals next to them did not speak. They believed that the Goryeo army was not bad in fighting like this. After all, such a battle was too difficult to fight.

"I, Jiklie, the heroic Xindubadu, cannot continue to fight like this." A Mongolian general said.

Other Mongolian generals also suggested withdrawing their troops and returning to the ship first.
To be continued...
