There are no pursuers behind him.

The road ahead is extremely smooth.

This is completely different from Lu Li's idea.

If the Japanese want to expand their victory, or if they want to completely erase everything about Nanyuan, then they should take advantage of this opportunity to launch a pursuit.

Even though Lu Li has confidence in himself, there is still a trump card that he has not revealed, but he still has to face reality:

The Japanese only need to send out a small army of a thousand men, equipped with two of the seven guns of Jiyue, to annihilate them all without any suspense.

This was what puzzled him the most.

Not only the daimyo and generals under his command know how cruel the old monkey Hideyoshi is, but the actor who plays the role also has a deep understanding of it.

Don’t you want to suffer any more losses?

It seems that the influence of Red Lotus Karmic Fire and the multiple vests have indeed had an effect.

Of course, Lu Li roughly guessed the answer that was closest to the truth, put aside all distracting thoughts, and concentrated on leading Can Yong back to the north.

Before reaching Gongju and Cheonan, it is impossible to see regular troops. At most, they will encounter some retreating militiamen of the Lee Dynasty and another group of Japanese...

Behind him, in addition to Utaki Hideie's left army, there was also Kato from the right army.

After losing the Kato Legion, the strength of the right army should not be underestimated. After all, of the two armies, the right wing that initiated the feint attack was actually the main force.

Although the possibility is unlikely, we cannot rule out the possibility of being hit by the opponent. What if it is really that dramatic!

You know, the all-powerful principal likes to cause trouble and make the parties involved feel speechless.

Because of this, Lu Li, who had an injury on his neck, did not immediately go north to Quanzhou after leaving Nanyuan.

There is a saying that when a great catastrophe comes, the heavenly chance will become extremely chaotic. No matter how powerful or proficient in divination, nothing can be calculated.

He tried to figure out the whereabouts of Chen Yuzhong, but as a result, the tortoise shell and the copper coins exploded.

But based on experience, Lu Li believed that he had abandoned the city and fled. When he saw no trace of the Japanese, he decided to conserve his strength and wait until the Ming army's backup arrived. The situation was settled, and then he would fight bravely against the Japanese...

A guy who always makes good plans and is a representative of opportunistic generals. He is only willing to fight smooth battles and stalemate battles with a certain degree of certainty.

"Go west and follow the coastline."

Faced with Lu Li's sudden proposal, the demons nodded their heads one after another, even if they couldn't figure out the reason behind it.

However, out of the principle of dispelling concerns, soliciting opinions and checking for gaps, he still explained it.

"After the Japanese won the battle, they sent most of their warships up the river. They were previously carried by the Shimazu family and the Konishi family. The coastal defense was obviously weak..."

Facts have proved that he was worried too much.

Throughout the narration process, both the demon and the Liaodong cavalry were silent. Of course, it was not a passive silence, but a focused gaze, with eyes full of expectation.

Okay, no need to explain.

After confirming that he was completely trusted, Lu Li stopped talking nonsense and followed his planned escape route.

The Battle of Nanyuan has completely come to an end.

Below is the Battle of Seoul.

As long as you successfully contain the Japanese pirates' offensive and confront them for a period of time, you can enter the strategic counterattack stage.

During the introduction, the battle became smoother and smoother.

No matter how you feel aggrieved now, how can you relieve your anger during the counterattack stage and change your position offensively and defensively!

However, the defense of Seoul was not so easy to pass. The Japanese devoured several peninsulas and the two armies completed their rendezvous. Morale will definitely increase accordingly.

If there were no actors involved, the defense battle would end in this way——

The Japanese occupied Tian'an and controlled Jishan, and the Ming army was forced to retreat.

From this point of view, the Japanese army won the victory.

But looking at the battle loss ratio, there is no doubt that the Ming army won.

Lu Li had a different understanding of this.

This is thanks to the cultivation of a certain senior sister. In class, he supervised his study of history books and asked him to personally play the role of a Japanese general. He was also required to analyze each battle and submit relevant reports as if he were writing a paper, in order to obtain study points as a reward.

.

Occupying Tian'an and Jishan is a result of war, and defeating the Ming army is also a result of war.

So what is the purpose?

The strategic goal of the Japanese army was to march north to Seoul and capture the royal capital of the Lee Dynasty.

The strategic goal of the Ming army was to prevent Japanese troops from marching north to Seoul and defend Seoul to the death.

After the two commanders of the Japanese army, Kuroda Nagamasa and Mouri Hidemoto, occupied Jishan, they did not continue their march and chose to stop.

There was no other way. During the Battle of Jishan, all the soldiers of the Ming Army taught them a lesson.

The Japanese army has always boasted that they are invincible in hand-to-hand combat and have never been defeated, but the Northwest Army of the Ming Dynasty broke this myth.

Moreover, Kuroda Nagamasa personally led the army against the Ming cavalry throughout the whole process. This was the second time in his life. The first time was against Li Rusong's Bito Pavilion.

Because of this, he was very familiar with the nearby terrain and knew that the road from Jishan to Seoul was one of the few smooth roads in the entire peninsula, and the open terrain was most conducive to the Ming Dynasty's cavalry operations.

[Gunshao Electric Flying] [Suddenly Flying]

Once the Japanese go north, the Ming cavalry will once again let them experience what it means to be relaxed and free, gallop back and forth, fight when they want, and walk when they want, without any hindrance.

This kind of battlefield, where attacks can be launched anytime and anywhere, can be called a paradise for the Ming army and a hell for the Japanese army.

Therefore, every time they thought of Kuroda Nagamasa and Mouri Hidemoto here, they chose to remain silent and made up their minds not to go north easily before solving this problem.

The above is Lu Li's entire understanding of the Battle of Jishan. The conclusion is very clear. The actual winner of this battle was the Ming Dynasty.

The Japanese army stopped marching northward.

But once it stopped, the war was reversed.

Jishan was the northernmost point that the Japanese troops could reach during the Ding Youzai chaos. Soon, the Ming and North Korean allied forces used this place as a starting point to enter the counterattack stage.

The next time the Japanese pirates crossed the Jishan Mountain and entered Seoul again, it would be hundreds of years later, during the Sino-Japanese War of 1998, when China was poor and weak, and the ruler was the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Tunguska Wild Boar Skin Family.

At the moment, Nurhachi, the leader of the Jiannu slaves, is still growing up, so Lu Li can't think of him yet. If he can defeat the Japanese pirates alive and lead his troops back to defend Liaodong, he will definitely think of this thief chief.

But the Japanese...

With Hideyoshi supervising the battle, I am afraid that the period of peace after the Jishan War will not come. The Japanese pirates who broke the first line of the Ming army will be surprised to find that, just like Nanyuan, everything is done by external forces.

Unless Li Rumei and others lead their troops to arrive in time and engage in another head-to-head confrontation to completely defeat the arrogance of this group of invaders.

This was definitely not Lu Li's imagination. With each victory, history has undergone major changes with Nanyuan as the center. Reinforcements should be on the way and must have crossed the Yalu River.

…

From being in the spotlight to being ignored.

It took Nanyuan just a few hours.

The strategic center has quietly shifted. The Ming Dynasty, Li Dynasty, and Hideyoshi all began to set their sights on the Gyeonggi-do region.

But the suffering of the people of Nanyuan continues.

Hidemoto Ohuchi, the author of "Joseon Chronicles", participated in the massacre. At this moment, after cutting off ten heads, he wrote in his diary: This is a sacrifice to the patron saint Hachiman Daibodhisattva.

Then, he put down his blood-stained sword and diary, clasped his blood-stained hands together, and bowed respectfully in the direction of the Japanese mainland.

In order to boost morale and vent one's emotions, an important military city was emptied.

There were countless corpses piled on the ground, most of which had no heads, and no noses on their heads, because Hideyoshi suddenly had a whim and wanted to use these things to build a temple in his hometown to show his achievements.

…

Clouds are moving in all directions.

Lu Li advanced north along the coast to ensure that he could catch up with the Battle of Jishan in time.

During this period, the Japanese were carrying out their traditional massacre, and the civil and military forces of the Li Dynasty were anxious and waiting for the situation to become clear. If Seoul could not be defended, the retreat would be swift and decisive.

However, this group of people who are greedy for life and fear of death have forgotten that they still have a superstar.

After the navy was completely wiped out in the battle of Chicheonryang, the Li Dynasty was so proud that the navy, which hated the Japanese to the core, sank to the bottom of the sea along with the warship.

Once upon a time, when Yi Sun-shin was in charge of the army, the naval forces fought wherever they pointed and they were invincible. However, as the Japanese rebellion in Imjin was suppressed, the cunning rabbit was not dead but the lackeys were cooked.

This naval god of war, who was feared by the Japanese and admired by the Ming army, was directly exiled because of party disputes.

The King of Joseon also seemed to have forgotten the surprise and touch that Yi Sun-shin brought to him at the critical moment of the country.

Yuan Jun took office.

But the same team was handed over to him, and it was over in one fell swoop. The speed was so fast that even the Ming army headquarters who had made a detailed plan scolded them directly. The blame for the fall of Nanyuan was also inseparable from it.

However, debts disappear after death.

The group of ministers of the Li Dynasty who specialized in fighting among themselves and were well versed in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty began to pretend to be dead. They thought of Yi Sun-shin, who had been tortured to death, and hoped that he could come back and continue to create miracles.

But no one dared to suggest it. The King of Joseon also thought of Yi Sun-shin and felt it was too embarrassing.
