A Weird Theater That Started In London

After sacrificing to heaven and earth, the Ming army officially set off.

The king of Joseon, Li Ye, who always behaved very cowardly, became very arrogant. He said that he would personally send Lu Li and Yang Hao to the expedition.

Everyone happily obeyed.

The generals rode together and left Seoul in a mighty manner. Just as he was talking, Yang Jinglue, a civil servant, suddenly left the road and galloped toward a small road full of ice and snow.

Seeing this, the generals headed by Lu Li followed one after another, and the black mane horse was even thinking about whether to easily surpass it in order to show his extraordinaryness.

But on second thought, Yang Hao was his master's big backer on the front line after all.

Seeing that the crowd was about to leave, Li Ye was not to be outdone, as if he knew that he had been completely underestimated and had to restore his image, so he followed closely behind.

The generals were at a loss.

The entourage and ministers behind the Joseon king were at a loss.

They couldn't catch up at all.

You chased after me, and after walking for about a hundred or ten miles, Yang Hao turned around abruptly, looked at Li Ye, who was closely behind him, and said happily:

"Wang Ke is working with you!"

"…"Land from.

When it comes to loading forks, who can compare to the literati.

After this little episode passed, nearly 30,000 Ming troops jumped over Wuling with high morale and arrived at Mungyeong County at the foot of the mountain three days later.

This was the end point of the first stage of the great rampage between Governor Konishi and Masaki Kato at the beginning of the Imjin Japanese Rebellion.

Since the opening, Ma Gui, who has always been silent, seems to remember that he is an admiral, and made a request to the general of the Li Dynasty, Quan Li:

"My division is well-prepared by land, and the sailors alone can't get there many times."

Obviously, the Ming army needed support from the Li Chao navy, and they had to go to the waters near Ulsan to join their side.

This is a very strange request.

Because, Lu Li has already reported his experience at sea very clearly, including after the killing of General Kojima, Yi Sun-sin's strength has ushered in a decline—

The actor leaves.

Even if there is a gift of a general cannon, how much strength can be recovered in only two months?

Even if Yi Sun-sin is a veritable **** of war who can turn corruption into magic, he cannot bypass Suncheon, Geoje, and Busan, where several important ports where Japanese naval forces gather, and attack Ulsan on the east side.

His eyes turned to Quan Li.

After all, he is the general of the Li Chao, who can give orders to Yi Sun-sin, and also knows the inside information.

Under Lu Li's gaze, Quan Li's face was calm and he said without hesitation, "Yes."

The navy has a flag named: Yi Sun-sin.

There is also an iconic figure in the army, it is the veteran Quan Li, who once led his troops to defeat the Japanese army in Xingzhou Mountain City.

However, can sailors really be relied upon?

The actor is not optimistic.

Even Lu Li, who has seen and worked with Yi Sun-shin with his own eyes, is not optimistic.

As for the truth...

Quan Li knew that this request was impossible, but in order to make the main force of the Ming army continue to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese, the old boy bravely agreed.

In fact, the actors have a deep understanding of the next battle against Ulsan. Throughout the whole process of the battle of Ulsan, there is no record of Li Chao navy helping the battle.

And the historical materials of their own country, out of self-whitewashing, portrayed an old man who bravely patted his chest and harmed the Ming army into a general who eagerly cooperated with the Ming army to fight...

Yang Hao and Ma Gui underestimated Li Chaoren's integrity, and underestimated their careful thinking. After they were assured, they continued to lead the army south.

Halfway through, Lu Lijin made a remark.

Nai He, the old man who lives high in the temple, is commanding remotely, and asks the front-line Ming army to immediately launch an attack on the Japanese.

To a certain extent, the two of them are ready to be deceived, and they also feel that the danger brought by this is within an acceptable range.

However, be careful sailing the thousand-year-old ship.

Ma Gui kept a descendant of the Japanese, and gave himself a Chinese name: Lu Yuwen.

A native devil.

Human beings are clever, that is, profit-seeking.

So, Ma Gui promised to give him a hundred taels of gold, and sent him to sneak into Ulsan with a few scouts disguised as Japanese.

The next evening, Japanese traitor Lu Yuwen set off.

Lu Li and the others continued to wait for the army and subsequent reinforcements to arrive.

Ten days later.

The number of Ming troops reached nearly 40,000, and all of them arrived in Gyeongju. This is the closest city to Ulsan. Getting here means entering the war zone.

All the ministries took some rest in the city. The next night, Lu Yuwen returned with a big gift!

hand-painted map!

Lu Li was pleasantly surprised when he saw it, because this was a detailed map of Ulsan's defense.

The main force of the Japanese army in Ulsan is not in Ulsan Castle, but on the island of Dosan in the north.

This place is surrounded by dangerous places. The north is surrounded by Pyeongsan-dong, Sangan-dong, Gangyo-dong and Bangujeong, and the south is across the Taehwa River from Ulsan City.

If the enemy attacks from the north, they must cross Dosan before they can capture Ulsan.

In addition, the Japanese general guarding this place is really surprising, and it is the old rival Kato Kiyomasa.

He was originally a famous architect in the Japanese country, and he built the Nago (ancient) house that was the base of the invasion of other countries in the early days.

Kato, who had just arrived here, started building the Wajo Castle after he left Seoul in order to prevent the Ming army from attacking and repairing his body.

This place is backed by a mountain wall, and there is only one waterway leading to the Taihe River.

According to the accompanying scouts, this Japanese city was built in a Japanese style.

Outside the city, it was the priest who controlled the leylines, and the heavy rock walls surrounding the city surrounded the entire island and mountain with three inner and three outer layers.

Not only that, there are also eight camps outside Bangujeong and Taehwa River Camp, which can echo each other.

"My lords, according to the observations below, there are only two ways for Shimayama Wa Castle to communicate with the outside world."

"One is to travel by land to Eonyang and then to Busan, and the other is to travel from the Taehwa River to Xisengpo by water."

Sure enough, he was a Japanese traitor, and he did everything he could for Ming after receiving the money. According to him, before their arrival, Kato Kiyomasa himself was in Nishigura, preparing and supervising the transportation of various materials.

And in the city are Anzheng Kato, Nao Shigeru Nabeshima and Kazuyoshi Ota, who commanded the defenders and the slaves of Li Chao to build it desperately.

After seeing Lu Yuwen's information and confirming it with the many scouts accompanying him, Yang Hao and Ma Gui were overjoyed.

Before the official war started, they knew the details of the Japanese. Is there any suspense in this battle?

After some discussion, after a brief discussion, Yang Hao gladly picked up a wolf pen covered in red ink and drew three lines on the map of mountains and rivers.

It is required that the ministries should not blame each other, and must launch attacks in accordance with this strategy.

The first line goes straight to Daoshan. Li Fangchun, Gao Ce, and Peng Youde are subdivided into three roads. We must firmly trap this mountain city in front of Ulsan!

The second line is Wu Weizhong. He missed the defense of Seoul, and now he is excluded from the grand strategy. He will lead the soldiers from the south of Daming to Liangshan to intercept the Maori Xiuyuan who may come for reinforcements.

The third line fell on the Taihe River. The guerrilla general Lu Jizhong led 2,000 soldiers and horses to block the river surface with the Great General Artillery and Tiger Squat Artillery to prevent the Japanese from coming and going by water.

In order to make sure nothing goes wrong, Yang Hao also sent Dong Zhengyi's department to Nanyuan, where Lu Li had previously lost, to put pressure on the Japanese troops stationed in Shuntian.

Lu Li was caught in the first line, looking very low-key. After all, it was a battle at the level of a large army—

Different from the southern army, the Liaodong army and the Xuan army were designated to fight hard battles in order to make more contributions.

The horse team headed towards Daoshan City.

Steady and steady, calm and calm.

Unfortunately, I wasn't the first to eat meat.

Things are impermanent, Wu Weizhong, who has been excluded from the circle from beginning to end, led the 3,000 southern troops under his command, mainly Zhejiang soldiers, to advance towards Liangshan.

However...the team set out late at night, and in the early morning, in a small town called Yanyang, it ran into the Japanese army.

The Battle of Daoshan, which was recorded in the annals of history, actually started with an encounter.

However, it is also reasonable.

Similar to the status of Namwon at the beginning, Eonyang is the throat of Ulsan to the southern cities and cannot be easily discarded.

And the Japanese that the chief soldier Wu Weizhong encountered was Yukichi Asano, the son of Nagamasa Asano, the confidant of the old monkey Hideyoshi, and Kazuyoshi Ota, the supervisor.

Due to the need for a large number of slaves and supervisors to build a city on the island, they came here to serve as supervisors and **** a small number of slaves.

On this day, I happened to rest in Yanyang City, and I was preparing to march quickly the next morning and enter Daoshan City.

Although most of the troops lived in the city, in order to increase their vigilance, they arranged for five hundred warriors to camp and rest by the river north of the city.

"Huh? Wako."

How did Wu Weizhong know that this group of thieves was just going to Daoshan to be a supervisor, subconsciously thinking that the reinforcements had received the news and came to support, and immediately ordered the whole army to fight.

There are few soldiers in the south.

In addition to the North-South dispute, they have always been excluded from the inner circle, but in terms of combat effectiveness, why do we need to go into details?

This group of elites wearing red shirts in the snow immediately crossed the river to chase and kill them. As expected of the Qi family's army, they easily defeated the camp set up by the 500 Japanese soldiers. Whether they woke up or fell into a deep sleep, they will all be sent to you. To meet their so-called Amaterasu.

"It's only five hundred Japanese, how can it be fun?" Wu Weizhong's face was full of regret.

Almost at the same time, the battle by the river disturbed Asano Yukonaga, who was resting in the city. He got up from a woman with powder applied, and went up to the castle to see:

A group of Ming soldiers in red were playing their subordinates as monkeys, and they yelled immediately, don't point to a young man in his early twenties who is in a high position under the protection of his parents, he can focus on the overall situation.

Feeling humiliated, he immediately grabbed the sword and ordered to open the city gate to fight, breaking the so-called myth of the Ming army.

Although the superintendent Kazuyoshi Ota was old-fashioned, showing that the enemy was outnumbered and the defense of the city was better, the second generation Asano Yukage was not willing to listen, and led his own guard to rush out.

"If you don't break the Ming Army, you will never turn around!"

After uttering a harsh sentence, the guy straddled the horse angrily.

When Wu Weizhong saw it, a Japanese general in fancy armor rushed out of the city. He immediately knew there was a big fish and ordered the soldiers to surround him.

With **** bravery and fantasy, he rushed out of the city, but it didn't take long for Asano to regret it, but Mr. Wu has never eaten meat, how could he let this kid go?

Thousands of cavalry lie between him and Yanyang City.

The escape route was cut off, what should I do?

Asano made a decisive decision and fled in the direction of Daoshan. Just like the Ming army did not know the specific deployment of the Japanese soldiers, the Japanese did not know that Daoshan was being surrounded by the army.

"Chase!"

Nan Bing, who was supposed to march forward, was so excited that he spun around, chasing after the little devil.

The family warriors fought less and less. Yukio Asano fought and fled, and was slashed dozens of times by the Ming army, bleeding profusely.

Seeing death approaching, a general named Kameda decided to sacrifice himself and used self-destruction to stop the Ming army's pursuit. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Asano found a loophole in the encirclement and rushed to the bottom of the island to call for help.

Kato Yasuma, who was guarding the outermost line of defense, saw that it was the son of Lord Taiko's close minister. He hurriedly dropped a rope, climbed and dragged it, and pulled it into Shimayama Castle.

Seeing a piece of meat fly away, Nanbing scolded and scolded him. With Wu Weizhong's comfort, he withdrew his troops and returned to Yanyang to continue the task of blocking aid.

And the second generation Asano Yukonaga was lucky to save a dog's life, and immediately recovered his anger, and immediately asked:

"Why are there so many Ming troops?"

Kato Yasuma sighed helplessly.

Nearly 20,000 warriors and nearly 100,000 slaves were all busy building the city. This morning, I suddenly saw that a large number of Ming troops were moving here, and none of the people who went out to hunt were able to return.

Two hundred miles away, the surrounding circle is roughly formed.

Lu Li, who had just replenished the two thousand cavalry, led the demons to form a group and moved in the given direction.

As they moved forward, the various ministries began to be close to each other, gathered together, and completely surrounded the city built on the mountain.

Of course, besiege but not attack.

Just like the Japanese besieging Nanyuan, the Ming army set up a strong position, but they just set up camp slowly.

On the second day, he fell behind and did not follow the army to the front line. Yang Hao heard that the encirclement was completely formed, and immediately brought the interpreter and General Li Chao to the front line. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Prior to this, the command was in the hands of Admiral Ma Gui, who did not use Lu Li. In other words, the generals of the entire Liaodong system were useless, and he called his favorite generals on a small scale.

Tomorrow is going to attack the city, who will be the charge?

The three of Yang Dandan, Paisai, and Pogui were very enthusiastic, because the Kato army's performance in the Seoul battle was too unbearable, and everyone wanted to pinch soft persimmons.

In the end, Yang and Po, who had been pioneers before, were persuaded by Ma Gui and gave up their chance to the competition, and they looked for opportunities later.

In the first battle, the Liaodong Army was not used. Li Rumei had a lot of criticism. He led the army across the Yalu River and rushed to help Seoul, but nothing caught up. Now that he is entering the counteroffensive stage, he still does not need himself? !

If this battle is still under the command of my brother...

Two thousand iron cavalry, five hundred demons.

Lu Li was not in a hurry. He watched Pan Ming, Zhou Tian, ​​Du Quan and the others go up to seek military exploits. There was no sense of imbalance. You know, it wasn't that they had to fight later. Instead, he was curious:

What new tricks will Kiyomasa Kato bring to this defeat?

With this thought in mind, he started to barbecue again, and he had nothing to do, so he might as well relax.

The flags were all played brightly.

The word [Lu] flutters in the wind.

In this case, the Japanese even ate the gall of a bear and a leopard and planned to abandon the city to break through, but they did not dare to choose to start from here.

Moreover, the mountain castle built by Kato and Nabeshima is really solid. To be fair, Lu Li felt that it was no worse than Nanyuan.
