Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Mao Wenlong didn't know yet that Tokugawa Hidetada had decided to abandon Okayama.

As time passes by little by little.

When the moon rose three poles, Mao Wenlong officially issued the order to set off.

Since resting at noon until now, the physical strength of the Dongjiang Army soldiers has basically been restored.

Then what to do next is very simple.

Capture Okayama!

Enter Kobe!

"General, the spies are here to report."

"It is said that Japanese people from the direction of Okayama have been evacuating one after another since the afternoon."

"These little dwarfs have collected troops and are constantly digging defensive positions."

"Our opponent has also found out clearly that he is the second patriarch of the Tokugawa family, and his name is Tokugawa Hidetada."

"He is also the father of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the current patriarch of the Tokugawa family."

"Originally, he was living in seclusion in Osaka to retire, but now he was called up by Tokugawa Iemitsu to take charge of all affairs in the south."

"This man is a military commander from the Edo period and has certain ability to command troops."

Not long after the army set out, a general told Mao Wenlong the information he had learned.

First, the people in Okayama direction evacuated, leaving only the army stationed.

The second is to find out the news about Tokugawa Hidetada.

Mao Wenlong listened silently and smiled slightly.

"It seems that Tokugawa Hidetada wants to hold him back."

"Okayama has been abandoned by him. Those so-called soldiers were just sent out for us to kill."

"She does have some brains..."

Mao Wenlong was not interested in Tokugawa Hidetada's resume.

Maybe he could be regarded as a military talent in the corner of the Japanese country, but if he were placed in the Ming Dynasty, he might not even be able to serve as a general.

In the final analysis, there is no difference between internal fighting in Japan and village fighting, it's just about the people.

Compared with the Han family, it is far behind.

"General, it is clear that Tokugawa Hidetada wants to consume our energy and delay our attack on Osaka."

"Why don't we just go around Okayama? Didn't the people of Okayama evacuate to Kobe?"

"Then just attack Kobe!"

The general next to him touched his head and couldn't help but suggest.

Tokugawa Hidetada was really ruthless, he directly summoned new soldiers to die.

If there is a battle with these new soldiers, although there is no threat to the Dongjiang Army, it will definitely consume a lot of physical strength.

It’s tiring to kill too many pigs.

"No, just fight as planned."

"The Japanese country is mostly mountainous. It is inconvenient for our soldiers to move. How can we pursue them."

"That's not giving people opportunities out of thin air."

"And His Majesty has already said that when he comes this time, he will burn down everything he can see."

"After all, there are tens of thousands of people living in Okayama. How can we explain it if we don't destroy it?"

"Just fight head-on and burn one city after another!"

"Anyway, in the face of absolute strength, any little tricks are nothing more than a mantis trying to trick the enemy."

After hearing the general's proposal, Mao Wenlong shook his head and refused.

There is no point in using heavy armored soldiers to pursue them.

Pushing them forward can also cause great psychological pressure on these little dwarfs.

"Yes, General."

"The general will know."

The general tilted his head but did not refute.

He just made a suggestion. If Mao Wenlong didn't agree, forget it.

Anyway, you are right to listen to the general!

After fighting for so many years, Mao Wenlong has basically never suffered any losses.

The soldiers under his command were quite convinced of him!

"Okay, stop talking nonsense."

"Inform the soldiers that Tokugawa Hidetada has sent a group of people to die."

"Then knock down Okayama as quickly as possible!"

"Pile the corpses together and set them on fire for me, General!"

"We must let the Japanese people hiding around see what it means that the power of the Ming Dynasty cannot be insulted!"

"Those who humiliate will break their bones and spread their ashes!"

Mao Wenlong waved his hand to signal this guy to stop talking nonsense.

Since we are fighting a group of new recruits, end the battle quickly!

We must let everyone in Japan know that we should fight Mao Wenlong! As many as come will die!

--------------------------

"Report!"

"Patriarch, it's not good."

"The old master suffered a defeat near Okayama and is currently retreating towards Kobe."

"Okayama has been abandoned."

Just when Mao Wenlong was preparing to quickly take Gangshan.

On the other side, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was also busy, also waited for the letter from his father.

Taking it from the panicked messenger, the contents inside made him very angry!

Okayama is lost!

It was lost so quickly!

What exactly is going on!

It was originally said that Mao Wenlong's army would be involved in Gangshan, but in less than a day, Gangshan was gone?

If we lose Okayama today, will we lose Kobe tomorrow?

Next, we lost Osaka, Nagoya, and finally Edo too!

With a dark face, Tokugawa Iemitsu carefully read the letter written by his father from beginning to end.

After reading it, his frowning face became even more ugly.

Ten thousand heavily armored soldiers? !

And carry a lot of artillery?

Grass!

Does this mean that the barbarian army is so rich now?

Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't believe it. His understanding of Ming Manzi basically stopped at intelligence.

In particular, the main force of the Japanese army in the Fuzhou area was not fighting the Sixiang Army, which made his assessment of Ming Manzi's combat effectiveness even more wrong.

In his opinion, no matter how strong the Four Elephant Army is, it will probably be a little more powerful than the Qi Family Army and the garrison, but it will never be much higher.

It turns out now that this idea is totally wrong!

Damn it, that bastard Huang Taiji didn't tell me this news.

Still no longer allies!

Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help but curse Huang Taiji in his heart, then put the letter aside and quickly checked the map.

Ten thousand heavily armored soldiers...

No wonder my father didn't dare to confront her head-on.

This is naked equipment suppression and cannot be smoothed out by tactics at all.

My father’s intention was to gather everyone in Osaka to play a stud game.

Tired of these tin cans!

But if this happens, Okayama and Kobe may suffer.

Moreover, if this stud is not won, then Osaka will also be unlucky!

"No, the soldiers from the south alone are simply not enough."

"Go, notify the troops in the Edo area and send reinforcements to Osaka as quickly as possible!"

"Also bring the firearms!"

“There must be no mistakes in Osaka!”

I learned that the [-] soldiers and horses in Mao Wenlong's hands were heavy armored soldiers.

Tokugawa Iemitsu also understood what to do next.

That is to kill this army in one wave at any cost!

Otherwise, if we engage in regular battles, as long as the supplies on the other side are constant, it is really possible to reach Edo!

My father probably decided to give up on Okayama with this in mind.

Use new soldiers to delay Mao Wenlong's attack time.

Involuntarily, Tokugawa Iemitsu thought of the [-] elites still in Fuzhou.

If Osaka fails to win the battle in the end, he will have to mobilize this group of elite reinforcements.

Once aid is returned, it means that Japan's war against the Ming Dynasty this year has completely failed.

Oh shit...

This pressure is really a bit big!

After only a few months of fighting, Japan had already suffered several losses.

This kind of pressure is simply not comparable to the previous internal village wars in the Japanese country.

No wonder the Tatars have come to form an alliance after being beaten. It is really hard to sleep with such neighbors!
