The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 718
Let’s say that the team led by Tokugawa Hidetada is the main force of the invasion of North Korea. There are also two armies, one to attack Wang Jing of Silla, and the other to monitor the so-called main force of the Ming army at the junction of the three countries. .

In addition, the other is to leave some guards at the three landing points such as Busan Port, and to leave some soldiers and horses for defense in the cities that were captured along the way.

There are also some Fusang warships cruising on the sea, so as not to be taken by the enemy.

Tokugawa Hidetada led the main force of the Fusang Army and was ambushed by the Ming army. About 6 people were killed, and most of the remaining [-] or [-] people were captured. Only a small number escaped into the dense forest in the chaos.

In addition, there are countless pack horses, money, food, cattle and sheep, and even hundreds of women who have been abducted along the way since the Fusang people landed.

These women thought there was no hope of survival, but they didn't expect that the mighty and fierce Fusang Army was wiped out by the Ming army. They were all grateful and cried on their knees in amazement.

On the one hand, the Ming army sent people to contact the Baekje government and asked them to welcome these women. At the same time, they also arranged for some people to follow the people of the Baekje court to restore the cities occupied by the Fusang army.

The Fusang army in those cities only had hundreds of people in each city, and the others were also some local second devils gathered temporarily.

After learning that the main force was wiped out by the Ming army, they lost their courage. The Ming army fired a few shots at random, and these people were frightened. One by one was quickly restored.

The Ming army temporarily "occupied" these cities in order to prevent the Fusang people from making a comeback, and made those Baekje officials who thought they could follow the Ming army to take advantage of it one by one frustrated and depressed, but they did not dare to attack, so they could only be cautious with a smiley face.

In addition, the Ming army sent troops to attack the Fusang army left behind in the three ports including Busan Port. It fell into the hands of the Ming army.

When the Ming army ambushed the main force of Tokugawa Hidetada, Marshal Deng Shichang of the National Defense Forces personally led a fleet to besiege the Fuso fleet cruising in the strait.

This Fusang fleet is said to be a fleet, but it is actually a hodgepodge of pirate ships, civilian ships, etc. The main function is to transport troops, and most of the ships do not have artillery installed on them.

Even if a small number of installed artillery are old-fashioned artillery with backward range, accuracy, and power, they cannot compete with the fleet of the National Defense Forces.

It is better to say that it is a siege than a group of wolves hunting a group of sheep.Not long after the battle started, the Fusang warships equipped with artillery were hit and sank one after another.

The remaining ships had no fighting power at all, and before Deng Shichang was persuaded to surrender, these ships raised the white flag one after another to ask for surrender.

According to statistics afterwards, nearly a thousand Fuso ships of various types were captured during the naval battle, almost all the ships that Tokugawa Hidetada could collect.

The destruction of the Fusang fleet completely cut off the retreat of the Fusang people.

Tens of thousands of Fusang soldiers behind Baekje Wang Jingxia were attacked by three divisions of the Ming army after dawn. The artillery opened the way, grenades assisted, and the muskets ended. The intensive and violent artillery fire made the already panic-stricken Yi's Fusang rear troops quickly fell into chaos. After less than half an hour of fighting, the Fusang army announced their surrender. In the end, half of the people died in battle and half were captured.

On the other side, the Fusang Army that was in charge of attacking the capital of Silla was also surrounded by the [-] Ming Army troops that had already targeted them. The battle ended after two hours, and the daimyo Noda Masao who led this army was captured on the spot. More than [-] soldiers were killed, and the rest were all captured.

The reason why Noda Masao's team was wiped out took a little longer, mainly because Noda Masao wanted to take people to hunt in the nearby woods on a whim, which resulted in the dispersion of the troops, so it took longer.

The last remaining Fusang army, which was monitoring the "main force of the Ming army" at the junction of the three countries, was naturally doomed to be destroyed. More than 2 people were wiped out, and more than [-] people were captured. They seized supplies such as food and grass countless.

Because of the precise intelligence preparations in advance and the meticulous and accurate prediction of the battle situation, the Ming army was fully prepared.

Tokugawa Hidetada led an army of 15 people across the sea with high ambitions. It took less than a month from landing to attacking under the capitals of Silla and Baekje.

This speed is already astonishing, and it can definitely be said to be overwhelming.

But they were destroyed faster. The 15 army including the fleet was completely destroyed. The entire battle took no more than five days, including some marching time or time used to paralyze them.

This can definitely be called a crushing speed, and it is all-round crushing. The so-called bushido spirit of the Fusang Army did not play a big role at all, but made them fall faster.

In essence, this is simply the crushing of science and technology across the ages. It is the doomed victory of the Ming army and the doomed failure of Fusang Kingdom.

In this battle with the Fusang Army, the Liaodong Theater dispatched [-] National Defense Forces and [-] National Guards.The [-] National Defense Forces were only used to suppress the formation and were not dispatched at all.All fighting was fought by ten National Guard divisions.

Compared with the complete annihilation of the Fusang Army, the death toll of the Ming Army is frighteningly small, basically negligible, and it can be said to be a complete victory.

The news of the annihilation of the Fusang invading army spread, and the Korean peninsula rejoiced. People from Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo poured out of the city. Rice wine, all kinds of snacks, fruits and vegetables were placed along the way to celebrate the triumphant return. The soldiers of the Ming army lined the road to welcome them, and even some unrestrained and enthusiastic girls bravely stepped forward and threw sachets embroidered by themselves to the soldiers they liked to show their love.

The kings of the Three Kingdoms even sent people to reward the Ming army along the way, and sent special envoys to bring a large number of gifts to meet Marshal Ran Wu of the Liaodong Theater and said that he would hold a state banquet to entertain him, thanking him for his kindness in defeating the Fusang invaders and saving the three kingdoms of Korea.

Ran Wu accepted the gifts, but refused all the state banquets.He knew very well in his heart that the real purpose of the kings of these three countries was to hope that he could give back to them the cities temporarily guarded by the Ming army, and return all the three coastal ports.

The delay and perfunctory performance of these three countries on the issue of food, grass and military pay for the North Korean garrison made Ran Wu not have a good impression of them, so he made up his mind to use this incident to teach them a good lesson.

How can there be good things in this world that only take advantage of the advantages without exerting effort? My soldiers fought bloody battles and consumed a lot of food, grass, ammunition and medical supplies to fight against aggression for you and defend your home and country.

Otherwise, those cities and ports would not have been "managed" by the Ming army.
