Wherever you fall, you get up.

The last time they attacked Ulsan, the Ming army was defeated.

But this time, Ma Gui did not attack in a single line. The other two Ming armies pinned the Japanese pirates in their respective defense areas, and Lu Li and Li Sunchen's navy were watching. Therefore, this battle was considered a fair duel.

Ma Gui let Xiesheng, Yang Dengden and Pogui serve as the vanguard and led Wang Guodong to Ulsan to launch the first attack.

Then, other troops were deployed in places such as Xinning, Yixing, Zuoshuiying and Qingzhou, firstly to guard against Japanese sneak attacks, and secondly to appease local refugees.

Pan Ming is in the vanguard.

According to what the letter said, the generals crossed over the ruined islands and mountains in the basin and rushed straight to Ulsan. The same trick was repeated, with Wang Guodong and Pogui ambushing on both sides.

Counterattack.

At first, Nabeshima Naoshige, who was stationed in the city, heard about it and immediately ordered: "Consolidate the defenses and be unable to escape!"

But when the disbelieving Kwantung generals heard that the Ming army was coming and were provoking outside the city, they immediately opened their eyes wide and became furious. They put on their armor and raised their troops and went out to kill them.

Lu Li speculated that the other party should have known that it was a trap, but because of their unfamiliarity with the situation and their confused self-confidence, they took the initiative to infiltrate it.

Later...it was besieged until it was defeated.

In fact, his guess was not wrong, and there was another reason:

Internal friction.

As a general of the Western Kingdom, Nabeshima Naoshima would not be able to watch helplessly, but the situation was different for the Kanto heroes who were naturally inclined to the Tokugawa family.

In the future, if we can't protect everything, we will have to fight with each other. Now we can trap as much as we can.

After a small victory, Ma Gui, who found out that the Japanese army also had reinforcements, was a little hesitant, but he couldn't help but the morale of the actors was high.

In the early stage, all the leading vanguard officers were led by cavalry and lacked siege equipment. Seeing that Nabeshima was afraid of leaving the city, they huddled in Ulsan City. For a while, they had no choice but to launch artillery in the air.

After all, having experienced such a tragic experience as Dosan, the Japanese went to great lengths to repair Ulsan Castle to make it more difficult to attack than the former.

Several generals, including the actor, met to discuss and decided to build a siege vehicle while surrounding the city.

According to Nabeshima Naoshima's understanding of the Ming army, he thought that the two sides would confront each other for ten days and a half. In the end, he obviously underestimated the madness of the actor.

In fact, Xie Sheng and others were about to revisit their old place, feeling very sad and planning to make a siege posture first, to wear down the Japanese spirit little by little——

Every morning early in the morning, the various units circled Ulsan Castle like doing radio gymnastics. Whenever they felt like it, they would push their siege equipment up there to break the mentality of the Japanese defenders.

However, the actors collectively pretended not to understand, and the first sheep attack became a formal attack, a quick attack!

Qualified generals are supposed to take the lead, but how can they risk their lives so early?

This offensive...

Seeing this, Naoshima Naoshige felt terrified.

Even so, he still died in the hands of his son-killing enemy Pan Ming, and both of them died together.

Nabeshima Katsushige.

Nabeshima Naoshige.

Kuroda Nagamasa.

In addition, there are small bosses at all levels and hundreds of low-level warriors.

Sitting on the chair and calculating the results of the final exam for his good friend, Lu Li felt very stable.

"It's considered a happy funeral, right?"

Suddenly, an inappropriate word popped into my mind.

Looking at the commander-in-chief who looked calm and seemed to be a little happy, Chen Li couldn't help but be curious and thought to himself:

Could there be some good news coming?

Or, which route needs naval reinforcements?

During this period of time, various ministries have become familiar with the tactics of Japanese pirate sailors. However, there are only small battles. Chen Li really wants to have a big battle!

Realizing that the deputy was looking at him curiously, waiting for the next article, Lu Li had no choice but to say casually:

"The East Route Army has made some progress so far, and the leader of the thief, Naoshima Naoshige, has been killed."

I definitely can’t tell the truth——

[Pan Ming received his lunch box, I am happy for him]

Only the actor can completely accept death. Of course, there is an important prerequisite: completing the goals set in advance.

If it is not achieved...

Lu Li really wanted to return anyway, but nearly half of his strength had been lost. Not to mention the daimyo-level army commanders, even some of the more well-known Japanese generals found it difficult to complete a single kill.

However, since there is still a heavy burden on your shoulders, you must not be passive. Let's see if there is any suitable target and pull a big fish to support it.

From beginning to end, Lu Li never thought about another possibility:

He will live until the end.

After all, since the midterm exam, I haven't had this kind of experience for a long time. Either I died suddenly or I was confused until the end.

the other side.

The East Route Army was in a stalemate, and with the arrival of support from the Kanto side, Nabeshima Naoshima was the only one who achieved remarkable military success.

And the battle situation of the Central Route Army...

Commander Dong Yiyuan galloped through the starry night and ordered his soldiers to take a short rest in a small town called Sanjia. Early the next morning, he continued to lead the army and had already reached Nanjiang and was approaching Jinzhou.

The Ming army unanimously believed that the big fish Toyotomi Hideyoshi was hidden here, so Dong Yiyuan was very active and very cautious.

Even a veteran who is used to seeing things like trouble is still a little unable to control himself in the face of such temptation, because the reward for capturing or even beheading the old monkey is no worse than Qi Jiguang!

Prudence comes from reason.

As a being who threatens the Three Kingdoms, how could he be captured so easily?

According to the scouts' observations, the old Japanese's main formation is most likely to be located in Sichuan City, which is close to the sea, and Jinzhou is the north gate of this place.

On the left is Kunyang, and on the right is Yongchun. These two villages are at the horns of each other, and together with Jinzhou, they form the peripheral defense line of Sichuan.

Not only that, Sachuan City itself also has two cities, Jinhae and Guseong, as guards, with an unknown number of troops stationed.

In addition, next to the old city of Sichuan, there is a Dongyang warehouse, which stores a large amount of grain, grass and baggage, and is also heavily guarded.

in short.

The limited space from Jinju to Sichuan was filled with camps. There were eight large camps on the public surface, and they were connected to each other. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the camps were built step by step.

If the impregnable Ulsan City was built with quality in mind, then the goal that the Central Route Army faced was to have both quantity and quality.

Even if we take a step back and say that the quality is not good, just this fortified city, both overt and covert, is very troublesome, and tens of thousands of lives must be spent to fill it.

"Jinzhou is next to the Nanjiang River. To defend the city, you must defend the river. The Japanese are not stupid. They built a whole row of small camps along the flow of the river between Jinzhou City and Nanjiang."

"Our formation is backed by Wangjin Peak, and the terrain is very dangerous. If we want to attack Jinzhou, we must first pull out this row of fences along the river!"

Inside the camp, the atmosphere was extremely serious.

Generals from all over the world were staring at the mountain and river maps and listening carefully to the analysis.

The center army has the strongest strength. If this first battle cannot be won, or if it is delayed for too long, it will cause a lot of negative consequences.

Mao Guoqi, a general of the Zhejiang Army who had previously performed brilliantly in Daoshan, was assigned to the Central Army, where he could flex his muscles.

At this moment, he carefully analyzed the situation and said to coach Dong Yiyuan in a fact-stating tone:

"If you want to conquer Sichuan, you must first capture Jinzhou; if you want to capture Jinzhou, you must first defeat the Nanjiang camp; if you want to defeat the Nanjiang camp, you must first defeat the Wangjinfeng camp."

"This is a key point in the defense of the Japanese army. Once it is broken, everything else can be broken down in succession."

With capable people under his command, the coach did not have to worry about everything. Dong Yiyuan asked him directly what method he wanted to use to break through the Wangjin Peak camp.

An inexplicable smile appeared on Mao Guoqi's face, and he said mysteriously: "Shan Ren has his own clever plan."

You must know that war depends not only on soldiers, generals, and logistics, but also on an indispensable but obscure role:

spy.

The Imjin Japanese Rebellion could be suppressed in the past, but patriotic spies were indispensable.

Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?

As early as when the Japanese mobilized the whole country to prepare for the invasion of China, the Ming Dynasty was already vaguely aware of this matter.

Xu Sanguan was a native of Ji'an, Jiangxi Province during the Ming Dynasty. He made a living by doing business. As a result, he fell into Japanese hands in the South China Sea and was sold to the Satsuma Domain after several twists and turns.

Because of his medical skills, he saved the descendants of the Shimazu Yoshihisa family by chance. Since then, he has been highly valued and received beautiful women, monetary rewards, and even a son.

But this gentleman was naturally warm-hearted and patriotic. Although he was out of danger, whenever he saw his compatriots being bullied by the Japanese, he would gnash his teeth with hatred and think about doing something for them every day.

Before Hideyoshi unified Japan and attacked Kyushu, Shimazu Yoshihisa saw that he could not resist the military power, so he put on his cassock and opened the city to surrender. When he went to see Hideyoshi, Xu Sanguan was also with him as a retainer.

When the surrender was negotiated, he suddenly stood up, changed the subject, and told his own experience, hoping that Hideyoshi would punish those pirates severely in the future.
