The first day has passed.

The Ming army had the upper hand.

Kuroda Nagamasa only had 5,000 men under his command, and the Ming cavalry was able to fully demonstrate its power in the wild.

Jie Sheng, Pao Sai and other officers and soldiers all came from the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. Just by their names, you can tell that they are grassland people. Therefore, their ability to fight immediately is not weaker than that of the Liaodong Army.

The next day, the battle report was delayed for half a day and sent to Seoul, so that they could understand the situation on the front line in time.

Similar to day one.

Xie Sheng said that the Japanese launched a formal attack at noon and overwhelmed almost all the troops.

However, when the brothers guarding the second line of defense came to support, the Ming army had a slight advantage in numbers and suppressed the Japanese pirates. The two sides remained in a stalemate until it was dark. They simply stopped temporarily and camped on the spot, but neither side succeeded.

Leave the battlefield.

During this period, the King of Korea, who was anxious and uneasy, did not dare to go to the front line lightly, but he also sent envoys to Jishan to express condolences and verbal encouragement to the Ming soldiers who fought bloody battles.

In response, Pogui said to the envoy with pride:

"The Japanese pirates are very ferocious. All of them died in the front, but the ones behind them are still charging forward. I am over fifty years old. During the Ming Dynasty, I fought hundreds of battles with the surrounding barbarians. I have never seen anything more difficult to deal with than the Japanese pirates.

However, as long as my Northwest Iron Cavalry launches an attack, they can only kill them with their necks drawn."

With that said, he showed off the results of his cavalry's battles.

One by one, the heads of Japanese pirates were shaved and half-bald.

It seemed that the envoy from Li Dynasty was so excited that he could not control himself. After all, only dead Japanese pirates are good Japanese pirates.

To deal with such inhumane island beasts, one must be even more cruel than them. General Jie Sheng said that when all the Japanese were driven into the sea, they would use these things to build a Jingguan on the coastline.

If in future generations there are remnants of the Japanese nation who continue to invade other countries, let them look at their ancestors.

In addition, Jie Sheng also learned from the envoy that Nanyuan guard Lu Li miraculously broke out of the siege and entered Seoul from the sea along the waterway, and that he still had an organized force under his command.

First he was surprised, then he was admired.

Despite what Pogui said so arrogantly, he actually had to admit that the Japanese were indeed difficult to deal with. Even if they were a little afraid of fighting, they could still show impressive fighting power when it came to life and death.

Finally, before the messenger left with satisfaction, Jie Sheng asked him to bring a message to Mr. Lu, saying:

In the battle this afternoon, they killed a Japanese general named Ye Yizhi. Other small bosses who wore gold helmets and decorated their armor with gold powder also killed more than 30 people, which was regarded as revenge for the brothers who died in Nanyuan.

.

This goodwill came to Lu Li on the morning of the third day, and his affection for Xie Sheng and others greatly increased.

Not long after, the new battle report arrived on time.

[On the day of dawn, the thieves advanced with cannons spread out, white blades waving, poisonous gas covering the sun, strange shapes, shocking people's eyes. We responded to the cannons, fought hard to whip them, and the melons were broken. Not long after the battle,

The thieves were defeated and fled across the water]

Did the Japanese withdraw their troops?

The actors who should have been happy knew that the real battle would come next.

Kuroda Nagamasa withdrew in despair with more than 2,000 men. Although the battle in the first two days mainly consumed the Maori soldiers, his own unit still suffered heavy losses, and the great name Takahashi Enzo was killed in the battle.

If he hadn't fought so hard to bring his head back, the Ming army would have another record to show off.

But it was limited to the head, and the main body was still under the control of the Ming army. In the future, Takahashi Enzhong would be brought back to the mainland for burial, and a full body would have to be sewn with wood and leather.

If we stop fighting...if we continue fighting, we will lose our lives.

Across the river.

Mouri Hidemoto looked at the bruised Kuroda Nagamasa crawling out of the water, and he knew in his heart that he would not be able to make this guy fight for a long time.

However, the fierce battles in these two days also allowed Maoli to see clearly the actual strength of the Ming army. At present, there are only more than 3,000 people left, unable to make a huge difference.

The so-called "turning the sky" means that when Lu Li was in Nanyuan, he turned into Qing Ji for a while, Zhu Yan for a while, various vests emerged in endlessly, Samadhi True Fire and Red Lotus Karmic Fire were used alternately...

The confrontation between the two armies, the fight between cavalry, infantry, water and iron artillery, was forcibly transformed into a mythical reenactment.

"This Ming army has a very strong combat capability, and its fighting will is commendable. However, without reinforcements, and after being exhausted by the Kuroda family, it is at the end of its strength."

"The whole army attacks, enter!"

With that said, the pontoon bridge built in advance was quickly spliced ​​in the water. At the same time, the priest took action to completely freeze the river, enough for the army to cross.

Just after the Japanese were driven away, within two hours, 30,000 fresh troops rushed over. Jie Sheng was shocked and confused. Finally, he ordered all the artillery shells to be fired. After suppressing the wave of offensive, he turned around and retreated, acting extremely crisply.

"It is an honor to be defeated, but it is not a crime of war."

Jie Sheng felt that he had achieved a great victory in Jishan and was not very disappointed.

On the way, an army of 500 men came to meet them.

The general is an old face, Duke's family member, Du Quan.

At first, like Zhou Tian, ​​he was stationed in Seoul, but the day before Lu Li arrived in Seoul, he received a secret order from Admiral Ma Gui:

Station troops in the mountains to assist in the defense of Jishan.

Originally stationed as a reserve force in Jieshan, on the second day when the war broke out, they quickly led 2,000 cavalry under their command to support Jiesheng.

Du Quan doesn't have any objections to the fact that he failed to win the battle and was simply responding to the situation. The current situation...

Why worry that there is no tough battle ahead?

With only a few hours left before the deadline set by Hideyoshi, Mori and Kuroda fulfilled their mission. The latter captured Tianan City and cooperated with the former to capture Jishan.

Of the 1,400 samurai the Mori family had previously lent to Kuroda, less than 500 came back alive. In the final artillery battle, another 700 to 800 samurai were killed. Although no bones or muscles were injured, they were not injured.

Feel good.

Kuroda's main team lost about a thousand men, and the three dependent daimyo suffered equally heavy losses.

No need to commit seppuku...

With the slight pleasure of surviving the disaster, the two families had a drink, but that night, neither family continued to go north, nor did they further occupy Jieshan.

After taking Jieshan, Bingfeng points directly at Suwon.

Behind this wide river is the Seoul that Hideyoshi currently dreams of.

But both families have already had bleeding, so why continue?

Anyway, the passage to the north has been opened, and you can enter at any time as long as you meet the conditions.

As for what are the conditions?

Naturally, it's other legions.

First of all, after getting together, what was an evenly matched battle turned into a smooth battle.

Secondly, if the war is difficult, everyone will share the pressure and losses, and the capital will be weakened together, which can be regarded as a disguised balance.

Can't Hideyoshi see this trick?

From a farmer's son to a Japanese prince and a king recognized by the Ming Dynasty, if one could not see through Kuroda and Mori's little thoughts, then the entire Japanese country would be hopeless idiots.

No matter what, they completed the task on time.

Moreover, it is still the main force to attack Seoul next. The old monkey must be coaxed to a certain extent and cannot threaten to commit seppuku.

As a result, father and son Nabeshima Naoshige and Nabeshima Katsushige were sent up, with a total strength of 12,000 men.

In this way, the total number of troops attacking Seoul easily exceeded 40,000.

The right army was almost in full force. Only Kato Kiyomasa, the commander of the first army, who had high hopes, and a few daimyo with two to three thousand troops did not participate.

Most of them, together with the left army that suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Nanyuan, stayed behind and continued to wait and see the situation.

Of course, Kato was not included. This guy was not idle. He led more than 10,000 elite men under his command to carry out the secret mission assigned by the old monkey.

Suwon, Seoul.

Five hundred demons and more than four thousand Ming troops.

More than three thousand elite members of the Li Dynasty——

At least in this country's battle order, it can be regarded as worthy of the name.

After a full attack, there will be 10,000 troops.

How long can we keep it?

His eyes focused on Lu Li again.

After leaving the Flesh Mill, he had not been idle for long before entering combat mode again.
