Korea, Jisan. As a barrier in front of the royal palace of Joseon, it formed a huge oblique square with Cheongju, Yeoju, and Chungju. There were many Japanese military strongholds in this square, and a large number of Japanese troops were stationed there.
Soldiers and generals defended.
Once the Ming army attacks one of the locations, the other three locations and the surrounding strongholds, such as Seochuan City, Gongju City and other chokepoints, can quickly send troops to assist.
"I really didn't expect that Tachibana Muneshige, who is as famous as me, would die like this. It's really not honorable at all."
"Although I have been ordered to create a huge rout, why did I choose Jishan... If this place is breached, the southern position will be very troubled, right?"
Honda Tadakatsu wanted to win the battle to show his bravery, but the order given by the superiors was to fake defeat, and the defeat was very natural, which meant... he really wanted to lose.
Honda Tadakatsu was very annoyed with this behavior of giving away lives to the opponent.
"There can be many candidates who can cheat and lose. Why do you want to tarnish the reputation of Dongguo Wushuang in this way?"
As the new general of the Western Front, Mogami Yoshimitsu sternly explained to Honda Tadakatsu: "Because of your reputation, you were able to attract the Ming army to attack here. Last time they deceived Yonda Masamune, and Uesugi Kagekatsu and others went to attack Kaikai."
Isn't it the same when they were in Kaicheng? They put the general military officer in Kaicheng and gave a mere 10,000 troops to defend it, just to have a long-term plan to catch big fish."
"And there will be no suspicion. After all, the Ming army suffered a lot of casualties before. Ten thousand people are already a lot before reinforcements arrive."
"But this time, we retaliated with the other's own. More people died. Both the land and water armies were wiped out. Including the people who died in Yuanshan City on the eastern front, there were probably more than 100,000 people.
Already."
"The total number of troops entering Korea to fight was originally 300,000. Now that all the troops from all over the country are put in, the total is 500,000. If this battle is lost, the soldiers recruited next will
, they are all useless farmers."
The most elite 500,000 soldiers are here. Toyotomi Hideyoshi even asked the daimyo and various families to send all their elite guards here. This matter was strongly opposed by many people. It is said that they are still in the mainland.
There's some wrangling over there.
"But this kind of wrangling is meaningless."
Mogami Yoshimitsu looked into the distance with a calm tone. He didn't even need to inquire specifically to know what the final outcome of this local dispute was:
"In the end, they will definitely compromise. Rather than annihilating the entire clan, or even becoming resentful spirits or ghosts and gods driven by humans for the rest of their lives, they are still prepared to live more like human beings. At least this way they can retain their dignity for the last few decades."
"Kanbaek-sama, supported by Emperor Jimmu, has gone completely crazy. In order to swallow up the national destiny of North Korea, he will do whatever it takes. He wants to completely smash this land to pieces. He would rather break his muscles and bones to take it from the mouth of the Ming Dynasty.
Next piece of meat."
"Five million is just the vanguard. Even if we send those logistics troops and even the farmers in our country to the battlefield, as long as it can contribute to the overall strategy, Lord Guan Bai will definitely do it."
Honda Tadakatsu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Since the end of the troubled times, our country's population has been only more than 150,000, and 500,000 elite soldiers have entered the dynasty. Originally, war was used to support the war, but the war lasted for nearly seven years, and now North Korea
The land has been completely depleted of food, and we have nothing left to gain."
"Now that the eastern front has also been lost, we must send more troops to transport food. Even if the Ming Dynasty costs more to send food from the bitter cold land than us, we will need at least millions of people to cross the ocean.
Maintain food lines.”
"If we recruit domestic civilians again, who will cultivate those lands?"
Mogami Yoshimitsu's tone was calm: "As long as the "Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection" exists, the ghost soldiers, ghost generals, mountain elves, people who cultivate food, or monsters and ghosts will never be eliminated. The land will definitely be cultivated, even if the cultivators
It may not be human, but as long as it can fill the stomachs of soldiers, who cares where the food comes from?"
Honda Tadakatsu: "No! That's not what I'm talking about. Even if the land is cultivated, is it like this endless mobilization of living people to come here to participate in the war?"
"Now in the court, in addition to the 500,000-strong army, there are hundreds of thousands of demons transformed by wishes. This is certainly good, but if we don't leave any living people in the country, will our country be reduced to ruins after this battle?
Is this a ghost land that is no longer uninhabited?"
"It won't go to such an extent, right? Moreover, if the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit Collection is taken away, the hundreds of thousands of demon army will disappear in an instant, and we will immediately run out of food, right?"
"Moreover, wishes are born from all the people. If all the people die, who will maintain such a huge wish? Just Emperor Jimmu alone? Or let those resentful spirits..."
Before Honda Tadakatsu finished speaking, the sound of an enemy attack sounded outside.
The Ming army attacked, and Mogami Yoshimitsu and Honda Tadakatsu watched on the city.
"The Ming army came with great momentum...that banner, is it Chen Lin?"
"No... solution... the flag is Jie, there are five big flags... it's Jie Sheng!"
The deputy commander-in-chief of Ming Dynasty's North Korean preparations was released!
Five flag gods!
"I know that this guy is the deputy of the chief military officer Ma Gui. He is the one who defends Kaicheng with 10,000 people. Things are really changing.... This time it is our turn to catch them."
Honda Tadakatsu was preparing to meet the enemy, but suddenly he saw a tall military general among the Ming army coming out first. His face was covered with an iron shield, and his face was invisible. The armor he wore was also different from the ordinary Ming army. It was as thick as
A moving mountain of iron. Holding an iron sword in his hand.
The general marching to the south is brave and brave, with a Qishui Yanfei saber across his waist.
The wind blows, the mountains and rivers move, the lightning flashes and the flags rise high at the sun and the moon.
The big flag has the character Liu written on it!
Honda Tadakatsu's eyes immediately shone: "Here comes a powerful general!"
What he saw in his eyes was the armored general who came forward. The aura on his body shot straight up to the sky, as thick as a pillar of heaven, causing the clouds in the sky to roll and disturb like the waves!
The strength of the other party’s divine status is definitely not that of an ordinary person!
"Looks like I can teach with this guy! Even if we lose this battle, it will be worth losing!"
Mogami Yoshimitsu's face turned serious.
"Liu...it's the Black Tiger General Liu Wei! This guy has come to North Korea! I didn't expect that the Ming Army was so sure to win this Jishan City!"
"It just happened to be a plan."
He saw the Beidou stars twinkling in the vast rolling sea of clouds, and a piece of mysterious energy transformed into a tiger shape roaring in filial piety.
"The divine throne is the Lord of Heaven, Beidou Xuanji Lord, who governs the twelve thousand gods in the sky, and holds the destiny of people! The three disasters have been wiped out, and the dragons have spread their wings."
Honda Tadakatsu heard Mogami Yoshimitsu's solemn tone, but he didn't feel timid at all. Instead, he became more and more excited:
"It turns out to be Liu Wei. I heard that he returned to the Ming Dynasty after the last peace negotiation. Now he is going to war again. It is indeed a worthwhile trip to fight him!"
"The stronger, the better. Let's see if it's the reputation we boast!"
He raised the big gun "Dragonfly Kiri" in his hand, and the virtual appearance of a god appeared on his body, and flames sprouted out of thin air!
The Kagu earth destiny of fire!
.........
"Lord Ieyasu, according to the plan, our army has been defeated in Jishan, Seochuan, Chungju, and Gongju. The number of soldiers killed in these four battles is about 23,000. The demons..."
"Okay, there are as many demons as there are created by wishing, and their own combat power is not very strong, so there is no need to report them."
When Tokugawa Ieyasu heard the huge number of casualties, his expression did not change much, while the expressions of Terumoto Mori, Takatora Toudo, and Nagamasa Kuroda became grim.
Indeed, as Tokugawa Ieyasu said, those monsters that were willing to be cast will die when they die. They are all worthless things like soldiers, and the real great monsters are not sent to the front line.
However, there were more than 20,000 living elites who were killed in battle. This was a real heavy loss. Even though they knew that this was the price to pay for the plan, they couldn't help but feel cramped in their hearts.
"With such heavy casualties, if the Ming army cannot be lured in, then everything will be over."
Kuroda Nagamasa still couldn't help but talk too much, but Tokugawa Ieyasu said that these are necessary sacrifices. How can you catch big fish without heavy bait?
From the first glance, you don’t look like you are old fishermen. It doesn’t look like you are from the coast. You are very proficient in fishing, and you are by no means an expert.
"The bait is too shallow, and the other party will only try it once and for all. It is inevitable that they will give it up as soon as it is good. Only when they see that big profits are ahead, will they rush over like crazy. By the way, gambling is the same."
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked confident.
Todo Takatora asked: "Then... in these four battles, the Ming Dynasty immortal did not appear. What do you think?"
"Could it be lurking behind us?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "The defeat of Motoyama was due to the rebellion of Shimazu Yoshihiro and the death of Tachibana Muneshige. As a result, the entire army on the eastern front was wiped out and the artifacts were lost. Only then did Masamune Intatsu and Kagekatsu Uesugi be defeated and captured."
"But this time, I'm pretty sure that we won't have any details here... Do any of you here have your heart set on the Ming Dynasty?"
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads to show their loyalty.
General, you know us. If we were to rebel... you might die here now.
Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled and raised his hands: "Okay, you don't have to be so scared. I just want to talk to you. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can raise it as soon as possible. We can fight for everything we can get from Guan Bai.
, the four of us will help each other more in the future, and we must not sacrifice the lives of our relatives and friends for temporary gain."
"That's right, the general is right."
Three others also agreed.
Then Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "My Kagemusha have been sent out. I can sense their presence here and have successfully blended into the Ming army. In such a large-scale war, three to five people died.
It is an extremely common thing for an ordinary general to do."
"If you want to be confused, only at this time, the shadow warriors also need to see the appearance of the opponent's generals before they can change. It is impossible to create people out of nothing."
"And, having said that, even if the Ming Dynasty immortal really sneaks in, it doesn't matter. We are in Ulsan, so far away from Jishan. If he wants to come, he must first defeat the enemy all the way. I have never heard of it.
What kind of transformation does he have?"
"And now, the expert I mentioned should also..."
.........
A shadow warrior's face changed and he blended into the Ming army after the Jishan battle.
Commander-in-chief Liu Yujie died under the gun of the Japanese general Honda Tadakatsu in the Jishan battle. When the shadow warrior saw his death, he appeared from the shadow of Honda Tadakatsu, and Li Daitao stiffly replaced Liu Yujie.
existence.
As for the original corpse, after the face was burned, it was indistinguishable from human to ghost.
The overall official position is not very big, it is one of the grassroots officers and soldiers, but there are 440 combatable soldiers under his command. This is a large number of military forces. If used properly, it will bring great influence to the Ming army.
of confusion.
In the next war, he has already made a plan to kill his boss, Mr. Li Penqiao, and Liu Yujie's identity will disappear in the next war.
General Manager, General Manager Qian, guerrillas...climbed up one level at a time, and in several other cities, there were also other shadow warriors who had completed the actions of replacing Li Daitao with others.
It blends in so perfectly that no one can even notice it.
The Kagemusha moved forward, and suddenly, he saw "Shimazu Yoshihiro" walking among the Ming army.
Sure enough, just as Lord Tokugawa said, Shimazu Yoshihiro is leading the way for the Ming army, but unfortunately, the side you are betting on this time is destined to fail.
At this time, Shimazu Yoshihiro glanced at himself, followed by the surrounding Ming troops who all turned their heads, some with looks of shock and disbelief in their eyes.
"The shadow-stepping technique of the Tang Dynasty was performed with the help of the shadow-stepping Gu. I didn't expect that there were people in the Japanese army who knew this kind of magic. It can be said to be rare."
"The spells left over from the Tang Dynasty are full of strange and unique features, but your shadow has not yet mastered them."
"Certainly!"
The sudden sound, as well as the surrounding separated crowds, including the subsequent torches raised high, isolated the Kagemusha in the center!
After hearing that sound, the Shadow Warrior's thinking also stopped, along with its actions. Among the Ming troops holding torches around them, a Taoist priest in black walked out.
"The shadow gods of the shadow-trampling technique can devour each other to increase their own power. However, your master has not fully practiced the shadow-stepping technique. It seems that he has lowered the threshold of practice, so the shadow gods that can be controlled
The number of soldiers has become very small."
"But after all, I still used the ability of the number one shadow god, 'Youhuang'."
A portion of the essence of living beings appeared in Ji Xiang's hand. After this portion was used up, only three portions of the essence he had obtained were left.
A Shadow Stepping Gu can separate a Shadow God.
Next, Ji Xiang stepped forward and reached out to invade the shadow warrior's head. Then, the shadow power was transferred!
The Kagemusha didn't even have room to think. After the power was transferred, it immediately dissipated and disintegrated and ceased to exist.
At Ji Xiang's feet, the nine shadows changed, and a second shadow rose from the ground.
