Chapter 83 Breakdown
The war was in full swing, and although Matsuura was not doing much, he kept worrying.
This time, the Matsuura clan mobilized 800 troops to avenge his previous shame. He was led by Matsuura Takanobu Nagato, and sailed from Hirado to Matsuura County, claiming to regain his old place.
Once upon a time, the Matsuura clan once led the entire territory of Matsuura County and could mobilize nearly 10,000 people. Even under the oppression of Ryuzao Temple, he could still hire pirates to fight for him... This was the case before Li Dan landed on the Five Islands.
However, when the Ming army came over, it suspensefully surrendered thousands of Japanese pirates entrenched in the five islands, resulting in the Matsuura family being able to summon more than a thousand troops and still stay in the area. How could they mobilize more places?
However, Chen Bazhi, who was fighting in the guest army, had thousands of armies, including both Japanese pirates and flag troops, and two northern troops of thousands of households. For a momentum, he attacked Songpu County.
Chen Bazhi's troops were divided into two groups. The flag army took a boat around Songpu County and headed straight to Saga Port. On land, Li Ruzhang and Li Rumei's two thousand households led their troops and Japanese pirates to sweep across Songpu County. Of course, Songpu Town Xin followed them and took over the villages along the way.
It is said that it is Matsuura County, but there is actually not a big city. The local tycoons in various villages are somewhat armed, but most of them were once one of the 48 parties of Matsuura. Seeing that Matsuura Zhen Nobu was attacked, they immediately turned against him to help maintain public order.
Although they encountered some resistance, there were no way to resist the might of the Jurchen Mongolian cavalry when dozens of peasants intercepted on the road. The Mongolian riders shot in a mess with arrows. The Jurchens shouted and rushed to the death, and the defeated enemies knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
This is not the first time the Li brothers have taken up the battle, but it is the easiest battle in their lives. There are few enemies, few roads, many weak soldiers, and every field is full of great victory without any casualties. It is easier than hunting in my hometown.
Even the five villages were swept away, and even the timid Korean soldiers became brave.
Li Ruzhang and Li Rumei were happy. They almost ran to death by Shin-Songpu Town and the Korean soldiers along the way. In just four days, the cavalry walked 60 miles along the sea road like walking, but the infantry battlefield was scattered among the mountains and forests in Songpu County, rushing back and forth for more than 100 miles.
They did not go deep into the county because the grain ships and gunships were floating with them along the coast. Of course, it was not to protect the ships. Chen Bazhi did not need anyone to protect them. They were to be able to eat and feel warm.
Liaodong Iron Cavalry is the most fierce in training, the bravest in the battlefield, but the daily supply is also the most delicate. These people are all servants whom Li Chengliang is caring carefully. When neither training nor fighting, these people are like old men.
The Chen family's flag army, regardless of whether the troops are equipped, have the same combat power, and all the same in terms of supplies, but the Li family in Liaodong was not the case. These arrogant soldiers have their own land in Liaodong. The double-paid silver is the elite of real silver fed, supplemented by bows, swords, and horses, and Xuanfu's exquisite forging armor.
To be honest, no matter who wears this set of things, their combat power will be low, let alone the athletes carefully selected by the last general Li Chengliang.
This situation swept through Matsuura County, and immediately the whole county reopened Matsuura Kaji Yewen, tired, but Matsuura Shinnobu was absolutely happy. This person shined in assisting his father in developing Hirado trade. He was very smart and rushed all the way to the Saga place. His troops were still eight hundred, but he had already changed another group.
His confidants were all in various villages, and he led an army composed of local tyrants. He wanted to use the power of the Ming army and Japanese pirates to conquer these people and fight to the Matsuura clan in the future.
On the fifth day of the 5th day of the dispatch of troops from Hirado, the troops arrived at Saga Port.
The Chen army was unhappy in the march, and then sank two pass-by ships from Ryuzaoji family on the sea. Moreover, the news of the Ming army's attack had long been spreading into Imali Castle with the news of Naoshima's retreat. The local area gathered with the local people, and retreated from Hirado several hundred times, and mobilized local people and encouraged strong troops to defend the city, waiting for Naoshima to return to mobilize the army to aid.
"Cage!"
"In one month, I will definitely overcome this city!"
After a series of victories, there were soldiers behind him. Zhen Nobu, who took down Matsuura's Battle, had a very strong morale. He swept through the woodland at a very fast speed in the south of Imali Castle, and cut wood into the grid to lay down the original formation. Looking out three miles away, Imali Castle pulled out his sword and shouted loudly to encourage his own morale.
The same is true for more Japanese pirates in the army. Seeing Matsuura Zhenxin draws his sword and shouts, it is also a noisy thing. Although this kind of morale is fascinating to Li Dan, who is regarded as the leader by the Japanese pirates, I really can't understand what they are going crazy.
After cheering up his morale, Matsuura Shinnobu was so arrogant that he led several samurai back to the formation with a swagger. He was greeting someone to serve sake, but suddenly he heard Xiao's whispers and his face changed drastically. He sat down cautiously and asked Li Dan, who was sitting beside him: "Captain Li, why did the two Generals Li lead their troops on the ship?"
Li Dan originally wanted to tell the plan to Shinnobu and Pan Matsuura, but seeing Shinnobu's anxious and unsure look, he didn't want to say it anymore. He chuckled and raised his fingers at Imali Castle, and joked: "Cabinets attack the city, can the horses run up? That wooden city has to climb!"
Before the battle, Li Dan held a telescope and looked at the city of Ivanli carefully. Lian Dou, under Long Junxiong's command, went with him this time and told him that this city form belongs to a flat city, which is as the name suggests, is a city that starts from a flat land. Although there is no danger of mountain land, it covers a larger area. If it weren't for a city-shaped city, the city would have been even more majestic.
Before Nobunaga Jian'an Tucheng, many Japanese cities were mostly wood-stacked and earthen cities, which were not common to stone cities, and there was no tall Tianshou. In this era, the similar Tianshou was the Gaolu developed from Wanglou, which had not yet developed into Tianshou.
There is no daimyo in Japan sleeping in Tianshou. Everyone sleeps in the Odo Palace. They only go to Tianshou Pavilion to take refuge in an emergency. Only Oda Nobunaga sleeps in Tianshou Pavilion and lives in daily life.
Although Imali City cannot be called a great city, it seems very solid in Li Dan. There are wetlands mainly composed of mud on the outside. There are three floors of Shimamaru, two wooden walls on the three floors of Shimamaru, which are enough to delay the speed of the attack and give the defenders enough time.
But the problem is that this city is near the sea.
"If the enemy can see our own formation clearly in the city, the army will be well-known to the enemy, and this will strengthen its determination to defend the city!"
This battle was a destined battle for Matsuura Shinnobu. They had never captured Imali City for many years. This time with the help of a large army, Matsuura Shinnobu was bound to win. At this time, the two generals of the Li family retreated was tantamount to disrupting the morale of the army. It was already rare that he could endure it and not get angry.
"I just heard that you want to besiege the city for one month or to boost morale?" Li Dan curled his lips, raised a finger, and said, "It's time to send a letter at this time. Let the city guards leave the city for half an hour to offer the bid. In one hour, you should prepare for the final attack."
"storm?"
Li Dan's tactics are not contrary to Matsuura Shinnobu, and it is completely nonsense. Even if they do not take human lives as their lives, their troops are not as powerful as they can directly attack the city of thousands of defenders.
At this moment, a rumbling sounded from the distant coast. When it reached the original formation, the sound was not loud but shocking. Takanobu Matsuura asked in surprise: "Is this?"
"For General Chen's test shot, both General Li are preparing to set off for the next city. Brother Zhenxin, it's really time to prepare for the general attack."
Just as Li Dan finished speaking, the sound of artillery fire roaring from the coast was coming, and it was like thunder, and the large number of bombardments seemed to make the entire Ivanli City, tremble.
Matsuura Zhen Nobu no answered, and looked at the north in a daze.
In the pupils, the city was falling apart.
