Since the city was broken, Xue Hong has been ordering people to monitor Dongfang's movements at all times. After all, he led 8,000 people and killed one of the strongest daimyo, along with 20,000 warriors. It was impossible for the other daimyo to remain silent.
.
During this period, the Tokugawa shogunate paid special attention to various parts of Japan because they had just unified.
Therefore, in order to prevent the whole army from being in danger, Xue Hong ordered half of the whole army to be stationed outside the city and half inside the city. They would take care of each other and serve as a retreat for each other.
After all, the only people who landed in Japan to fight were these 8,000 troops. With advanced weapons and well-trained troops, if they were to encounter Japan's 100,000 or 80,000 troops head-on, they would probably win with a high probability.
However, if these eight thousand people are stationed in the city, if the Tokugawa shogunate bites the bullet and really sends tens of thousands of people to besiege the city, but fails to attack it, and disperses the samurai to set traps around the city, in this case, if they are trapped in the city,
That would be great fun.
Even those who have never fought in a war should know one thing: an army alone will not be shortlisted. Of course, if it is some general who is a bad person, then treat it as my fart and say nothing.
This small broken city is only so big, and Japan is extremely short of food, so it has always had to rely on fisheries to survive.
But Xue Hong understands that his command level is only one thing. If he can take these 10,000 soldiers away from the country and reduce casualties as much as possible, he must reduce casualties!
The first priority of a general: accomplish strategic goals!
The second important point: ensure the survival of your soldiers!
Xue Hong must strive to achieve the greatest strategic results at the smallest cost!
After the Daming Mansion was captured, approximately one million taels of silver were found in the entire Daming Mansion.
Xue Hong ordered that 700,000 taels of silver be sealed and transported back to the fleet together with supplies. The remaining 300,000 taels of silver were used to reward the entire army. The remaining 100,000 taels were given to Zhu Hui and Chen Chen respectively.
Ten thousand shall be regarded as hard work fee.
Another 30,000 taels were taken out and distributed to the craftsmen and shopkeepers who accompanied the army to Japan. Even if these people have not yet played their role, they must leave their hometowns and fight across borders. The people's hearts must not be broken!
Xue Hong didn't even leave a tael of silver for himself. In the end, Zhu Hui and Chen Chen also kept their share in the military camp to reward the military's meritorious personnel in the future.
The threesome all know in their hearts that this little bit of silver is just the beginning, and the bulk is still to come! The army is alone overseas, and the morale of the army is the most important thing!
Sure enough, with the large amounts of reward money scattered, the morale of the army was extremely high.
Xue Hong was sitting in the military tent looking at the map of Japan, speculating on the possible actions of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Suddenly, soldiers came to report.
"Report to the General!! The Japanese Matsushita Daimyo sent people to declare war and asked us to fight on the river bank twenty miles east of the city. The winner can have the territorial rights of the Jiuki Daimyo."
Zhu Hui frowned: "On the river bank? Where is their army now? How many people are there?"
Soldier: "Back to my lord, Matsushita Daimyo's army has formed a formation on the river bank. There are about ten thousand people."
Chen Chen had a strange look on his face: "Against the enemy? Does he think he is Han Xin? Or does he think we are King Zhao and Chen Yu?"
The same military art, the same tactics, used by different people, the results are very different!
Rushing from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, Huang Zhong killed Xia Houyuan. But Ma Di also rushed from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, but he was the one who got fucked.
The same strategy will naturally play different roles in different environments, against different enemies, and with different armies.
Xue Hong looked at the geographical situation of Jiugui City and finally decided that four thousand people would guard the city, with Zhu Hui and Chen Chen in charge, but the temporary command of the city would be given to Deputy Commander Dai.
After all, Zhu Hui and Chen Chen had never fought before, so it was impossible for Xue Hong to hand over command to them, no matter how good the relationship between the three was.
Xue Hong led four thousand people directly to the east of the city. When they arrived, Xue Hong climbed up a hill and looked, and sure enough he saw the military formation of Matsushita Daimyo.
But...this is different from what Xue Hong imagined!
Han Xin worked hard and made arrangements and arrays in advance.
But the Matsushita Daimyo's army... cannot be said to be loose, after all, every samurai is well prepared.
But this military formation...what kind of dissimilarity is this??
They were all short-range samurai, or a few pikemen, but not a single archer. During this period, Japan also had firearms armies, but those things were controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate. In order to rule these daimyo, the Tokugawa shogunate strictly stipulated that each daimyo's army Not allowed to possess firearms.
Under this circumstance, Panasonic actually ordered the military formation to be firmly leaning against the river bank, and there was no defensive equipment at all!
Not to mention Xue Hong's firearms troops, even a thousand light cavalry can drive these ten thousand warriors into the river to feed the fish!
Three thousand archers, even flying kites, can kill the entire army of 10,000 warriors.
Xue Hong did not use mortars this time. After all, they were too big and overqualified.
Xue Hong first sent scouts to find out the surrounding situation, but it turned out that there was no ambush at all!!
Xue Hong: "Does Panasonic think that military warfare is the same as samurai duels?"
Doubts remain doubts, but Xue Hong is still ready to make a quick decision.
Xue Hong ordered three thousand spearmen, shield soldiers, and sword soldiers to form a formation, protect the firearms battalion in the center, and slowly advance towards the opponent.
When he was about a few hundred meters away from the opponent's military formation, Xue Hong ordered to stop advancing.
Suddenly, all the warriors drew their samurai swords, and following the leader's order, they rushed towards the Ming army to kill them.
Xue Hong: "Firearm camp, release!"
Bang bang bang bang!
After a round of gunfire, the warriors at the front fell to the ground and died.
After several rounds of gunfire, the 10,000 samurai army was reduced to less than a thousand.
The more than a thousand people charged again, but Xue Hong didn't bother to pay attention to them, and sent them all away with two more volleys.
Xue Hong asked the dog bather whom he had brainwashed with magic.
The dog owner and bather directly told Xue Hong all the news about Panasonic's name.
This Matsushita Daimyo only had an army of just over 10,000 men! In other words, Matsushita Daimyo's city no longer had much defense.
Xue Hong was quite speechless. He originally thought that the other party knew that he was a master of back-and-forth formation, but he didn't expect that he was a sb.
Xue Hong: "Mr. Wang Qian! You take five hundred brothers, let the dog owner and bather lead the way, and go to the city of Matsushita Daimyo. Capture him for me.
I would like to get to know this famous person."
A burly General Manager Qian clasped his hands in his fists: "I have the order! Come with me!"
Five hundred people marched towards the city where Matsushita Daimyo was located.
Xue Hong led the remaining 3,500 people back to Jiugui City.
Originally, Xue Hong thought that someone would take the opportunity to steal the city and then attack him to form an encirclement.
Facts have proved that Xue Hong overestimated the other party.
