Beiyang new warlord

To be honest, in the past it was more difficult to fight more, but this time it was difficult to fight more with less. The Dongjiang army was still a little uncomfortable. Even the commander seemed to acquiesce. Shouting like this, it seems that this is not a battle of life and death, but a bit of a game.

Mao Jue wasn't in the mood to watch the decisive battle, he took Adelaina and Yu Le'er to boil tea under a big banyan tree behind the army formation.

But today it seems that God will not let him have time to be lazy, and the development of the battle situation has developed in a dramatic direction. Mao Jue's tea has not been boiled yet, and the tenth regiment is still halfway up the mountain Going to the formation, the sudden and fierce fighting sounded suddenly.

I'll go, a thousand miles of magic?Sprinkling beans into soldiers, is this a fight?

Throwing away the tea in astonishment, Mao Jue ran to the hillside in three steps at a time, only to realize that the tenth regiment was just as confused as himself. Looking down, it was indeed a lively fight. One by one, the Japanese warriors flew over with their blood and personal bravery to the extreme, and the gleaming blades could always bring out a lot of blood.

The only thing that was wrong was that more than 70 retainer families and more than 100 Japanese people fought on their own.

The head is flying, this situation is almost impossible to fake, but what kind of routine is this?Knowing that he is doomed, do you have grievances and revenge?Or fight before the start, let yourself see how fearless the Japanese are?

The distance from the battlefield is more than 300 meters, and it is located in the plain where the mountain nest revolves. More than 1000 Japanese people are fighting more lively and lively. After watching for a long time, the Ming army of the three regiments simply sat down and looked at it, and followed it enthusiastically. Start cheering and cheering, although the Japanese can't understand what they are shouting, and they don't know who the Japanese beat.

"Come on! That sun helmet guy, kick his ass kick, kick!"

"Stab him, stab him! The one with the bull's horn on his head, are you a fucking ox? Stab him with a knife, not your horn."

Officers and soldiers are not allowed to leave the formation, but officers can run around in the name of exchanging military information, holding the green tea that Yu Leer has learned and sold, and Mao Jue looked at Shen Rong and Zhao Tiehan speechlessly. For a few taels of silver, bet that the one with the papaya-patterned flag or the fan-patterned flag will win.

The Japanese became ruthless and cut their own people without mercy. It was a life-and-death fight. At night, more than 100 of the 400 warriors died, and 21 of the warrior families were killed. More than 50 retainer families are also scarred, they can be counted as the winner, it's up to you, right?The three soldiers of the regiment who had been working for a day suddenly sat up again, clapped out their bayonets at the order of the officer, and marched forward neatly under the army drum.

However, just like the non-violent non-cooperation movement, these warriors who had been fighting for a long time seemed to turn a blind eye to the approaching Ming army. They just sat cross-legged and panted for a whole afternoon of fighting. It is also a huge burden.

Immediately afterwards, facing the advancing Dongjiang army, more than 40 old devils waddled out, knelt down in front of the formation, held up the bloody samurai sword with both hands, and put it on top of their heads.

It was only then that Mao Jue understood that he was worthy of being the retainers of the previous day's family. The master would judge the situation and the retainers would also. They fought each other for an afternoon because of their feelings, and they fought fiercely without fear of death.

But this is not unreasonable. For a family, inheritance is more important than loyalty! When everyone is dead, what's the use of loyalty?

This war is completely different from the traditional war of the Japanese people. When others attack, they try their best to win over local families like them, and transform them from foreign retainers to general retainers. This can be regarded as a complete increase in power. The leader Uesugi Ken signaled that he was the god of the army. He was good at fighting and defeated the Kanto heroes many times, but his territory grew the slowest. On the contrary, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was once beaten by Takeda Shingen and pulled his pants , but was able to quickly seize the world, because the Tokugawa family's Fudai retainer group is much stronger than the Uesugi family's.

But when I met Mao Jue, who was unreasonable, he immediately exterminated the family and wiped out the roots. He had the stance of killing more than 100 vassals and retainers in the Nengdeng Kingdom. The life and death of the family quickly made these places who were unwilling to surrender The local tyrant quickly clarified his position.

So the next day, after a "friendship discussion" by the Noto family, after presenting the facts and reasoning, the 23 retainer families of the former Tian family who did not agree to surrender were "convinced" and were persuaded, and they offered their heads with both hands. The rest of the vassals were united and united under the banner of Dongjiang, and fought for Mao Jue sincerely.

If there is a Guinness record in this era, Mao Jue's crack must be the Guinness record for the fastest pacification of a country.

There is no need to continue to exterminate the family. Today's more than 400 heads are used as votes, enough for the rest of these families to no longer be tolerated by the previous day's family. Moreover, according to the rules of the Japanese, each family has four or five boys and girls under the age of ten. Taking Mao Jue as a hostage is the kind of attendant with a small surname. According to the level of the Wa country, as long as he can hold this place and ascend the country, he can be regarded as a 21-shi name of a retainer.

It's just that Mao Jue doesn't have the domineering spirit of Oda Nobunaga back then, and the battle still has to be fought. Amid the depression of the five brothers of the Liu family and three regiments participating in the battle, Mao Jue announced that he would pardon the fifty or so people who could climb the trenches. A retainer of the Maeda family.

On the third day, the dividends brought by the amnesty began to appear in front of the Dongjiang army. These people are local leaders, and controlling them is equivalent to controlling more than 7 Japanese people in Noto.

Noto country is a peninsula suspended in the Sea of ​​Japan, the narrowest place is only more than ten miles wide, and there are mountains in the middle to rely on. Early in the morning of the third day, this narrow place became lively, with a steady stream of Japanese canopies , The fishermen were driven out of the land, took hoes, and began to work for Mao Jue.

Cement is really a good thing. As a ballast stone, Mao Jue brought a lot more than gunpowder and grain. In Iki, this is transported towards the island and outside Nagasaki city, and the other end is transported by land. To replace the rock, Mao Jue only used two-thirds of it in two months, and the rest was just used here. Driven by the whip, these Japanese people first dug out a rock that was more than one meter wide and one meter deep. The ditch is made of planed stones mixed with cement slurry, and the two sides are fixed with spare ship planks for ship repair, and the steel bars brought by the Dongjiang River are inserted in the middle to repair the side walls.

It really deserves to be the samurai ruling class that has ruled the Wa Kingdom for more than 500 years. It didn't even need the Ming army to intervene. As long as Mao Jue said the request, the Tuhao in these places immediately understood and did it in a strict manner.

It's just that at this time, all the main forces of the Dongjiang Army, the five Iron Regiments, the three Woongjin mercenary regiments trained according to the Dongjiang model, and the 3000 main force of Jeju Island were all stationed south of the stone wall of the building.

At this time, the defense has not yet been built, and it is considered the most vulnerable time for the Dongjiang Army. If the Kaga Fan army attacked, Mao Jue would have to use his precious troops to fight the Japanese army one-on-one on the plain. Suspicion, but unnecessary loss, Mao Jue was still very unwilling.

But under Mao Jue's worried eyes, on the fourth day, fifth day, sixth day, until February 6000th, the Kaga Fan soldiers and horses who were on guard did not come, but behind them, packed up After Matsudaira Nobutsuna abandoned the ordnance and food outside Nagasaki, Li Shanhai led more than [-] Li Chao soldiers and horses to follow and support them to Noto.

These days, the trench has been dug to a width of three meters and a depth of more than two meters, and the low wall built with cement and gravel behind it has also become two meters high and more than two meters wide. Although these have not yet reached their peak, they still have the capital to fight After that, Mao Jue began to look forward to the arrival of Maeda, the Kaga domain, as he withdrew the legion behind the stone wall again.

However, on the 25th, 26th, and 27th, until the end of February and the beginning of March, after [-] days of occupying Noto, Mao Jue still did not see a single soldier from the Maeda family, even the Kaga country next to the Noto border, After crossing the Chinese farm, the retainers withdrew back.

Standing on the stone wall and looking southward, Mao Jue wanted to see through the distance, but he couldn't see anyone coming to beat him, so he knocked on the freshly solidified cement and screamed very sadly.

"This person surnamed Maeda is too cowardly!"

Chapter 226. Unexpected Visitor

It's really cowardly enough. The Three Kingdoms led by the family let Mao Jue come up and destroy one country. He also slaughtered more than half of the Maeda family's retainers who were able to ascend the country, and forced to land the rest. Tian Wutian sent his entire army to take revenge, but the Maeda family, who was born in a bravery, just kept going, shrinking the front line constantly, and the soldiers of the feudal clan kept gathering towards the city of Kanazawa. To counterattack, it is necessary to fight a battle of the cage city, waiting for Mao Jue to fight him.

But this really made Mao Jue uncomfortable.

The Dongjiang Army is indeed strong and strong, and 1 people can be used as 5 people, but Mao Jue's biggest advantage is the fleet across the world. The maritime advantage allows Mao Jue to launch an attack at any point that is difficult for the Japanese to guard against. The sharp artillery fire from the sea Offense is also an important reason for winning several battles of Nagasaki.

If the Maeda family launches an attack, even if the side wall is not repaired, Mao Jue is confident that he will severely injure the main force of the Kaga domain by the sea. Hokuriku of the Kaga domain is the foothold, and there is no need to worry about going deep into the core areas of the shogunate such as Shinano, Mino, Mikawa, and Enjiang.

But with the Maeda family retreating like this, Mao Jue had to be afraid. With [-] to [-] Maeda troops behind him threatening his back, who would dare to go far?Once the lone army goes deep into the mountainous Shinano and Mino, it is likely to be cut off from the rear and flanked back and forth. Whether they can come back is a matter of opinion.Mao Jue had such a fortune, he couldn't afford it.

But in order to be on the safe side, just in Kaga, Echizen, Echu, Echi, and the Hokuriku countries plundered, the spoils of this thousand-mile raid will be discounted several times. Hokuriku is richer than Kyushu Island, but its strengths are limited.

More importantly, the strategic goal that Mao Jue most wanted to achieve was to destroy the core of the Tokugawa family, weaken the authority of the Tokugawa shogunate, and bring the Wa country back to the brink of turmoil. For the shogunate, it was just scratching the surface.

The problem now is not that the Maeda family is coming to fight, but that the Maeda family is not coming to fight!

On the third, fourth, and fifth day of March, the construction of the Noto defense wall is almost complete. The [-]-meter-high defense wall encloses the Sufang Peninsula. The four-meter-wide and two-and-a-half-meter-deep trench in front will also serve as the main force for infantry. Tombs of any attackers, but the Dongjiang Li Dynasty Expeditionary Army still stagnated in Noto, Mao Jue has been hesitating.

This made the military spirit start to become impetuous.

"The Maeda family, are you really not coming?"

A large pile of heads began to rot and stink under the blowing of the sea breeze. Flies buzzed and circled above them, and maggots crawled out of their shriveled eye sockets disgustingly.

Not only did he show the heads of the beheaded retainers and samurai in Jingguan, Mao Jue also imitated Zhuge Liang and sent someone to send a woman's clothes to the current head of the Maeda family, Maeda Lichang. I don't know if this guy is like Sima Yi. He was still dressed in anger and showed off to the generals. Anyway, the old fox, the daimyo of the Warring States Period who survived the Great War of Sekigahara, was not fooled. Today, he still didn't see the Maeda family's crusade team come to die in a mighty manner.

This also made Mao Jue very upset.

"Coward, coward, coward!"

Throwing the stone down the wall casually, Mao Jue kicked hard on the newly built parapet again. As a result, those who were able to ascend to the aristocratic family in order to save their lives really worked hard. The parapet erected is extremely strong, but it hurts. Huo hugged his feet for a while and jumped like a rabbit, grinning so ugly and ugly.

Behind them, in the hustle and bustle of the retreating team, a few silly Japanese farmers couldn't help grinning a few times, but unfortunately, they didn't laugh until the end, and the heads of their colleagues were still hanging outside!Who is not afraid?The samurai master immediately took out his whip and gave these bold farmers who dared to laugh at the "Maori family master" a good meal.

To be honest, the retainers of the Xietian family still don't know where this group of powerful and outrageous "samurai" came from, but Mao Jue has been flying the three banners, so they have no choice but to pretend to be confused and pretend that Mao Jue is really Grandpa of the Mori family.

What these people didn't know was that it didn't take long for them to adopt an unprecedentedly tyrannical surname of the Wu family.

"General!"

Just when Mao Jue was not going his way, a cold voice suddenly remembered from behind him. Turning his head, with a stern face, the girl Adelena was holding a lot of documents in her arms, looking around angrily. look at yourself.

Greek military proverb, God of War hates those who hesitate! These days Mao Jue is indeed a bit too vacillating. This girl from the West doesn’t know how to persuade the lord with curves and tricks. Second, give him a small face directly.

"Lord Li and the generals are already waiting in the army, just wait for the general to call the shogunate army meeting!"

"I see!"

Three days ago, Li Shanhai, Shen Shikui and the others were already a little anxious, and the expedition would be delayed for three days. It is estimated that today is inevitable. Looking at the empty rivers and mountains of the Japanese country, Mao Jue punched him again. After reaching the top of the female wall, he turned around and turned around.

"let's go!"
