Chapter 135: Show Bao's Attack

"Why?" Tadaoemon asked coldly: "Do you remember the Battle of Toumani in the first year of Furu?"

"Dou Manjiang?" Zong Chuan repeated, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"It was the Battle of Tumenjiang in the 20th year of Wanli." It was speculated that Zong Chuan might not be familiar with the Japanese era name and the title of Tumenjiang in Asahi and the two countries of Asahi Japan, the translator quickly explained in Chinese.

"I understand," Zong Chuan suddenly realized: "You are talking about 'Renchen Band', but what does that have to do with the general you killed?"

"How could it be okay?" Chuanyoumon said slowly: "That was less than 200 casualties in the past, and the three roads of Hamkong, Gangwon and Gyeongsang were captured by the Korean prince Rinhai Jun, and Hesun Hokor, and went straight to the border of the Ming Kingdom. Although the initial goal had been achieved, in order to seize the victory and implement the Taige's great cause of the Tang Dynasty, the Taige Jun decided to lead the army through the Douman River to invade Ming territory to achieve unparalleled achievements. But I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect it would be a loss of troops and generals, and they fled in a panic, right?" Zong Chuan sneered.

The translator dared not pass it on to Tadaoemon intact, but asked in a "touching" manner: "Is the army unexpected?"

Tadyuemon continued angrily: "Who would have thought that he would not encounter Ming people, but his grandmother's Jurchen barbarians. At first, he was fat and then defended himself to take the initiative, and massacred five villages in a row to promote his reputation. There was no big obstacle. Unexpectedly, he was besieged by thousands of Jurchen cavalry before dawn the next day. Our army was unfamiliar with the land, and more than 600 casualties were lucky enough to break through. Six hundred people were three times the number of casualties in North Korea before. It can be seen how terrible the Jurchens are."

"Yes," the translator also sobbed in a low voice and said empathetically: "We North Koreans were bullied a lot by them."

"Go to your Korean!" As soon as the translator finished speaking, Tadaoemon kicked him in the stomach, and saw that he instantly flew three meters away, rolled on the ground for a few times and hit the pillar before stopping.

"If it weren't for you Koreans, we would not only do that!" Tadyuemon roared: "It was all because I believed in North Korea's instigation that I chose to enter the Ming realm from the upper reaches of the Douman River. What did you say at that time, "There are only the Jurchens and weak barbarians in the upper reaches, and there are no heavy troops in the Ming army. If you advance, you will have to do twice the result with half the effort." As a result, you did not meet the Ming army, but where did the 'weak barbarians' come from? Can the 'weak barbarians' kill and injured our army'?"

The translator reluctantly supported his upper body, rubbed his stomach, and replied with a painful expression: "The villain was not present at the time, so you can't blame the villain. I guess the military and civilians of our country have been persecuted by the Jurchens for a long time and want to use your country to get rid of it, so I deceived the adults."

"It's okay if you don't say it, but I'm getting angry the more I say it." Chuanyoumon walked to the translator, kicked a few feet into his chest, and said fiercely: "I'm afraid I want to use the Jurchens to get rid of us? Three thousand Korean soldiers crossed the river with us, grabbing grain and burning villages. But when he saw the Jurchens coming, he fled back to Hamkyung Road without looking back, leaving us alone to fight to the death. At this moment, my brother was stabbed to death by the Jurchen chief with a spear. How could I not avenge this grudge?"

The translator conveyed Tadaeyoumon's words to Sokuchi with a grievance. Of course, all the disgraceful deeds of the deserter were omitted.

Zong Chuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "At that time, I was the commander of Songshan Guard and assisted General Li in managing Liaodong. He did receive a report from Haci, who was the commander of Jianzhou Left Guard at that time. However, as far as I know, the Ula tribe, one of the four Jurchen tribes in Haixi, was not the Jianzhou Jurchens. The commander who commanded the battle was Ulabeile's younger brother Buzante, not the Manchu Beile clan's uncle Lu Tai. It seems that you killed the wrong person and avenged the wrong revenge."

"I don't care about so many things. Anyone who is a Jurchen should die!" Tadaoemon waved his hand and scolded sternly: "The defeated general is fish on the chopping board. If you want to kill, you can kill him. If you want to cut him off, you don't have to reason with you. Come and take these prisoners down. If you find anyone trying to escape, you can kill him first and then report."

"Haha." After saying that, he saw several samurai walking into the hall and taking the eleven remaining people to the warehouse. Tadaoemon glanced at the translator, snorted coldly and walked out of the hall.

The generals in the hall could not contain their anger at this time, and they all came to Tsuna Nao and persuaded: "Sir, it is you who will hold the forward to make the first contribution this time, but Tadaemon doesn't take you seriously. They are arrogant and arrogant, as if he is the first contribution. Such behavior is contrary to the way of a warrior."

Although Tsuna Nao was also unhappy, considering the current situation, he still hoped to avoid the troubles: "Everyone blamed Lord Ashizuka for his mistakes. The revenge of killing his brother is irreconcilable. The reason why he was so rash today is probably not his original intention, but was driven by the desire for revenge. So please forgive me, put the overall situation first, and do not hurt the harmony, so that the Ming army can take advantage of it."

"We understand, everything will be arranged by Lord Changchuan." Seeing that the person involved was not angry, everyone was not inconvenient to say anything, so they had to retreat to guard against the Ming army's sneak attack.

At the same time, Xiubao and Kichi had come to Yangcheng west of Zhongzhou to meet with Xiuzhong and Gao Hu who were preparing to cross Bird Ridge. At this time, the total force of his hands was only 2,800.

As Nagamasa expected, although Kiji was driven out of the house, he did not betray the owner's house. Instead, he pretended that his three hundred people were the pioneers of the Kuroda family, and the large army would not arrive in Chenghuanli later.

As soon as he heard "later", Hideobo understood what Changzheng meant. The situation was very critical now and he could not wait for reinforcements. Instead of waiting for Changzheng and Hideomoto passively to delay the opportunity to fight, it would be better to take the initiative, and there might be a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, Xiubao changed his initial combat plan and led his army from Cheng Huanli to Zhenchuan, sneaked along the southern foot of Zhuling to Yangcheng, and met with Gao Hu and others who were ordered to stay here. Late at night that day, Xiubao held a military discussion in the Yangcheng County Government Office and decided to let Xiuzhong return to Wenqing first and lead the Central Army to the north. However, the northward location was not in Niaoling, but in Taibai Mountain, which was chosen to cross the Jiangyuan Road and Qingshang Road. It is located in the southeast of Tichuan, far away from the Ming army's "Zhongzhou-Tichuan-Danyang Triangle Defensive Circle". The most important thing is that this place is still in the hands of the Japanese army. From this, it will definitely not attract the attention of the Ming army.

As for Xiubao's limited troops, it was divided into three routes. The western route was led by Gao Ji and Qingxing, with a force of 1,000, mainly responsible for feinting attack on Zhongzhou and delaying the Ming army; the southern route was led by Gao Hu and Longqing, with a force of 800, mainly responsible for capturing Danyang, seizing the ferry, and creating conditions for Xiu's family to break through; the northern route was led by Xiubao himself, assisted by Ziji, Junju, Yiqing, Qingsheng and Kiji, and raiding Yunling Pass.
