In order to whitewash themselves, the Japanese like to refer to their retreat as turning to the rear.

But Lu Li is not that shameless.

Defending Nanyuan failed.

But on the premise of admitting failure, Lu Li felt that this was a glorious failure.

The failure was attributed to insufficient troops, and the glory belongs to all the soldiers who participated in the defense of Nanyuan.

In the two sniper battles, the Liaodong cavalry showed extremely tenacious fighting spirit and excellent tactical qualities. They blocked 4,000 and 50,000, winning more than half a month, and the enemy was not a waste.

If you need to belittle your enemies to highlight your own achievements, that is also a kind of tragedy.

The Shimazu Corps, known as the number one in Japan.

Following the example of the West, the Konishi Iron Artillery Corps ranks first in the world in individual weapons.

Wipe them all out.

Moreover, the Ming army did not defend based on danger. They were fighting head-on with the Japanese pirates in open areas such as hills, mountains, and rivers, where they were best at hand-to-hand combat and the most proud of firearms combat.

If we continue to fight like this, no matter whether it is personal or strategic significance, it will not be very big.

As the victor, Old Monkey and his army commanders were not so happy.

In front of Namwon is Jeonju. If you capture Namwon, you can easily capture Jeonju. If Jeonju is lost, all three Koreas will be affected.

Therefore, the strategic position of Nanyuan is more important than that of Jeonju. It not only interferes with the war situation on the peninsula, but also seriously affects the defense of the entire Ming Dynasty coastal area.

Once this city was captured, the southern coast of Jeolla Province would not be protected, and the Japanese navy could go straight into the Yellow Sea from here to raid Jin, Shandong, Zhejiang and other places, and the voyage would be greatly shortened.

According to original history, after Emperor Wanli learned of the sudden loss of Nanyuan, he immediately issued an emergency military order, requiring all coastal counties to prepare for military affairs, and mobilize all navies across the country to strengthen coastal defense to prevent Japanese invaders from crossing the Yellow Sea.

Therefore, Nanyuan is just an inconspicuous border town on the map, but it can affect the nerves of half of East Asia, and all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were disturbed by it.

Logically speaking, the old monkey should be happy that his name is being spread again, but the loss caused by this is too great for him to accept.

Even if they guessed in advance that the Ming army would escape from the east and west gates, they were unwilling to ambush heavy troops.

Before he figured out a way to deal with the strange flames, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not willing to lose any more troops. He wanted to smoothly digest the fate of the country that was already on his lips and replenish his lifespan.

If Jeolla Road cannot be captured within five days, the prepared death poems will come in handy.

There was no way, those daimyo who died in battle frantically consumed their country's luck before they died, which made him, the prince, suffer from the recurrence of old injuries and find it difficult to suppress the coming of death.

It's a pity that Lu Li didn't know the inside story, otherwise he would have nailed Nan Yuan no matter what.

But apart from Hideyoshi himself, only the most trusted priest knew about this kind of thing. Even the army commanders didn't know about it, let alone Akito.

Two hours later.

The West Gate Suspension Bridge fell, and a group of hundreds of giant monsters and about five hundred cavalry rushed out.

The black-maned horse finally realized his long-cherished wish:

Let the master carry him once.

Because when this guy was supporting Nanmen,

He was seriously injured, and it was not serious enough to die, but the talisman water and elixirs could not cure him for a while. In desperation, Lu Li could only carry it on his back and pay attention to the surrounding trends at all times -

If there is a big enemy coming, he will immediately entrust the black-maned horse to the Bull Demon and the Tiger King who wants to find Kato Kiyomasa to avenge the murder of his son.

At this point, the Tiger King no longer wants to fight alone, even if the enemy is at the south gate.

Just like Lu Li said, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet again in the future. By then, the situation will be different, and he will also help kill Kato.

Others may refuse to believe this tiger spirit who has lived for thousands of years, but Lu Li is different. His record is enough to dispel all doubts.

However, the expected enemy did not appear, and the group of Japanese warriors were afraid to avoid it, so they stayed far away from the demons who were rushing to clear the way.

Almost at the same time.

The east, south and north gates are all broken.

The massacre begins.

…

When Lu Li came to this world for the first time, he bid farewell to the civil and military forces of the Li Dynasty and headed south to Jeolla Road. Although there was a mountain road to walk, it was still a broad road.

Jeolla-do is the only highway connecting Chungcheong-do and Seoul. It goes all the way north from Jeonju, passes through Gongju to Cheonan, and then goes north to Pyeongtaek, Toosan, and Suwon. Then, you can see

Seoul.

Tian'an is located at the center of this hub, and its strategic significance goes without saying. Once Tian'an is defeated, the Ming army's activity space will be compressed to the limit. Therefore, Ma Gui has made detailed arrangements.

I have to mention it again, everything is thanks to Commander-in-Chief Lu Li.

Ma Gui calmly sent out four generals: Xie Sheng, Niu Boying, Yang Dengden and Pogui, and asked them to secretly go south again to garrison near Tian'an.

They are all direct troops of the Ma family army!

In addition, one of the few remaining brave generals under his command, Zhuo Sai, and his soldiers were treated as a reserve team and placed in Geyuan and Jiechuan areas not far behind Tianan, with a strength of two thousand cavalry!

To put it simply, there is not much difference between the tactics previously deployed by Ma Gui and Lu Li. They are also three fronts.

The Tianan area is the first line of defense.

Geyuan and Jiechuan are the second line of defense.

The area around Seoul is the third line of defense.

Among them, the first line of defense has the largest number of troops.

More than five thousand people!

Four thousand came from the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining more than a thousand came from Chen Yuzhong, the governor of Quanzhou.

This courageous guy waited around and did not hear the news about the fall of Nanyuan. But when he heard that the Japanese right-leg army was attacking Huangshi Mountain City, he immediately abandoned the city and fled, fearing that he would be eaten by the enemy if he was too late.

As expected, neither Ma Gui nor the governor was willing to kill him and asked him to serve his crime.

The so-called preparation of the second line of defense means that if the first line of defense can resist the Japanese, the two thousand cavalry will immediately go to support them. If it cannot be blocked, it will be used to support their retreat.

And Seoul, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com is actually the final battlefield chosen as a last resort.

At first, after listening to Ma Gui's report, the official Yang Hao was the one who scolded the King of Joseon in front of all the nobles until his head was bloody and he wanted to crawl into the cracks of the ground.

He once again approached the king of Joseon, Lee V, and asked him to show his domineering spirit as a king of a country, and to go to Suwon near Seoul to boost morale.

However, Li V was unwilling to do anything, so he just clung to the pillars of the palace and refused to let go.

In desperation, Yang Hao moved his tent to Nanshan outside the city, ordered to play military music, issued various orders, and made the momentum extremely huge. Only then, on behalf of the King of Joseon, could he barely appease the morale of the military and the people.

"Mud can't hold up a wall!"

"Bastard thing!"

now.

Yang Hao looked at the map and became angry.

He is a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty and a guest from afar, but he still has the backbone and arrogance to live and die with this city.

But the king of this country was as timid as a mouse. When the war was about to break out, he actually secretly expressed that he actually wanted to embrace the Ming Dynasty and become an idle prince.

Is this what a king should do?
