Li Zhenzhu's tragic defeat was expected by Xiao Qian.
The Japanese army in Gyeongsang Province, after being defeated by Xiao Qian, still had 80,000 troops.
Xiao Qian could feel during the battle that the opponent was also a master of war. His judgment of the situation was very accurate.
First, the opponent's defeat this time was an underestimation of the enemy. They were caught off guard and suffered Xiao Qian's attack. The sudden appearance of the Long Yan Army and its powerful combat power made the enemy uncomfortable.
Second, in this defeat, Mizuno Masashige's troops lost 20,000, but they were not seriously injured. Mizuno Masashige still had an army of 80,000 like wolves and tigers in his hands.
Third, Xiao Qian still understands the spiritual attributes of the Japanese warriors very well. Regarding this, he has to admire that they are very strong. The spiritual attributes are stronger than their own combat effectiveness. At this time, the spiritual attributes also become combat effectiveness. A very remarkable characteristic is that the more frustrated you become, the more courageous you become. The more defeated you become, the stronger you become. The spirit of Bushido will make these Japanese people brave after knowing their shame. This is something Xiao Qian has always admired about the Japanese people.
Based on the three points, he decided to temporarily withdraw his troops. After reorganizing the entire army, he would then start a battle with the Japanese army and plan for it slowly.
This is the safest way, and of course, the only way.
However, Li Zhenzhu couldn't help it.
He borrowed 20,000 troops from Xiao Qian, and then led his own 50,000 troops, a total of 70,000, and set out in a mighty manner, intending to avenge his previous humiliation.
The battle took place in Andong, Gyeongsang Province.
The Japanese army itself only had 30,000 soldiers.
Li Zhenzhu believed that he could steadily defeat him in terms of time, space, and combat effectiveness. The configuration of 70,000 troops, 20,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry, and 20,000 archers was quite reasonable. In his opinion, this battle There is no reason to win. He will definitely take back the city of Anton.
So from the beginning, he did not leave himself any backup, and devoted all his military strength to the siege.
His idea is very simple. If he fights 70,000 against 30,000, he still can’t defeat him.
Now that the Southern People's Party has a vague tendency to take over the power of the Western People's Party, in the war, the Southern People's Party needs to show some behavior and cannot lose again and again.
Various factors influence.
In this battle, Li Zhenzhu had to fight.
However, he really didn't expect it.
70,000 versus 30,000, I have never fought before.
It's not that he hasn't fought before. It's that he didn't win Anton within the time he expected.
The time he calculated was seven days.
Because seven days was enough time for the Japanese troops who had already occupied other cities to rush over for reinforcements. So he had to end the battle within these seven days. At the beginning, he was very confident and continued to attack fiercely, but those Japanese guys were desperate. They actually managed to survive.
Shockingly strong.
During this period, Li Zhenzhu saw the ferocity of these Japanese warriors.
That's right.
Not only cruel to the enemy, but also cruel to yourself.
During the siege of the city, several times Li Zhenzhu's side was about to successfully break through the city. At this time, a group of Japanese death squads would always appear. They had explosives tied to their bodies and rushed into the Li Dynasty like crazy. In the army, he lit explosives and died with them. Again and again.
People were dumbfounded.
Is there any other way to play like this?
Aren't their lives their fate?
Li Zhenzhu instantly felt that compared to these Japanese warriors, the Li Dynasty soldiers were all scum, easily defeated, and running away with their heads in their hands.
later.
There are no more explosives in Japan.
Just let someone splash oil all over you and rush in.
ignite.
The city gate will soon turn into a field of fire.
Li Zhenzhu now started to curse.
How to fight this battle?
Are these people still human? Are their lives not life?
then.
Three days.
five days.
seven days.
The Japanese warriors of Andong endured these seven days. On the last day, Mizuno Masashige's reinforcements finally arrived. Like a roaring tsunami, they were waiting for work. They were exhausted and had been defeated by 30,000 people. The Li Dynasty's army, whose courage was shattered, immediately launched into a destructive and almost crushing fight.
"run!"
At that time, Li Zhenzhu only said this sentence.
In the past seven days, the Li Dynasty's army had been frightened by the 30,000 people defending the city. They wanted to run away for a long time. What's the point of getting orders from the general at this time? Everyone is like crazy, running faster than a rabbit. Got it fast.
Xiao Qian didn't even know how this Li Zhenzhu became a famous general in the Li Dynasty today.
If he could choose to fight and retreat at this time, the casualties would not be so heavy.
