The joining of Li Changzhi and the establishment of the Korean Legion enhanced Zhang Yi's strength.
The conditions are ripe for attack.
Kuroda Satsuma has laid a large net around Ryugyong Castle. Now there are flaws in this net, and it is time to tear it apart.
The letter written by Zhang Yi to the leaders of Greater China was never sent because the roads were all blocked by Japanese pirates. The tens of thousands of soldiers were missing, but the enemy was not seriously injured.
The enemy is more stubborn than imagined. They desperately collect food and maintain a huge army. They refuse to give up Liu Jing life and death.
Zhang Yi stared at the map of the peninsula and thought to himself that if he did not eliminate the enemies in the northern part of the peninsula, he would have no way to go south.
The top priority is to open a road to the north and send the letters out. If Greater China sends troops, it will relieve the pressure on its rear, so that it can move its troops south.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yi came up with an idea.
He summoned the generals to discuss matters.
"According to the intelligence we collected, Satsuma Kuroda has built a line of defense in Pingcheng, Miaoxiang Mountain and Ahu Feiling that is easy to defend but difficult to attack," Zhang Yi said.
Launch an offensive within a kilometer area, but we must open the road to Andong City in order to establish contact with Greater China."
"Yes, although our military strength reaches 80,000, it is not enough to conquer the peninsula. If Greater China can send troops to control the northern part of the peninsula, we can go south with confidence." Chen Yiyi said, this is an objective fact.
The enemy is not stupid either. They will not confront our army head-on. They will choose tactics that have been tried and tested in the past, cutting off our army's retreat, constantly harassing our army, and putting our army in a dilemma.
"We must not disperse our forces," Fu Xiang said. "Kuroda Satsuma wants us to leave Ryugyong and attack their long defense line. If we do, we will be divided and surrounded by the enemy, and ultimately lose the strategic initiative."
Zhang Yi nodded repeatedly. Chen Yiyi and Fu Xiang were very clear-headed and worthy of being experienced chiefs of staff.
"I feel that we are already very passive," Xiao Liu, the leader of the Women's Army, said. "It turns out that we thought that the Japanese pirate army would collapse soon due to lack of food. Who knows that they are still persisting and surrounding us in the isolated city.
So angry!”
"Don't be angry, Princess Liu," Li Changzhi said. "The Japanese pirates have no food, but they are good at fishing. There are seas on both sides of the peninsula. The most indispensable thing is fish!"
ah?
Xiaoliu became depressed. People in the mainland thought that food was rice and noodles, but they inevitably ignored the fact that Japanese pirates are a marine people, and fish are food!
"Haha, we come from the Loess Plateau and our thinking is a bit narrow," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "This is a small mistake on our part, but it doesn't matter. Liu'er, they have fish to eat, so let's hit them."
Go feed the fish in the sea."
Everyone clapped their hands and laughed, and Xiao Liu couldn't help but laugh too.
No matter what time, you must stay optimistic and don't look for trouble.
"Brother Yi, do you have an idea?" Xiao Liu asked with a smile.
"I think it depends on Chang Zhi's performance next." Zhang Yi nodded.
Li Changzhi smiled and said.
"I also have an idea, and I don't know if it is the same as my brother-in-law's idea. That is, I will lead the Korean regiment to act as a bait to attract the main force of the Japanese pirates, and then ask the generals to cooperate, and we will fight the enemy into the sea together!"
"Hahaha," Zhang Yi laughed and nodded, "Chang Zhi and I thought of the same place!"
Everyone was amazed.
"Good guys, you are all smart people, but I can't come up with any ideas." Niu Ben sighed.
"Brother Niu, don't sigh, I am the same. Let's read more military books in the future." Shi Gandang patted his shoulder and comforted him.
"You are right to think so," Xiaoliu said happily, "This is a great idea. If the Koreans turn back and provoke the enemy, Kuroda Satsuma will definitely become angry, and then Changzhi can lead the enemy to a position that is beneficial to us. On the battlefield!”
"This is the tactic that the prairie cavalry is best at. It angers the opponent, drags the opponent away, and leads the opponent into an encirclement." Vajim said.
Yes, the Mongolian army was invincible at that time, relying on this kind of kite tactic, which proved to be successful time and time again.
With the tactics decided, Zhang Yi began to deploy his troops and generals.
The plan was that Li Changzhi would lead the Korean army out of the city and go northward, and pretend to attack Pingcheng, which was an important stronghold of the Japanese pirates in the north, with nearly 100,000 troops gathered.
At the moment, the Japanese pirates are only afraid of our army's artillery. For field battles, they have mysterious confidence in their combat effectiveness. At first glance, it is the fleeing stick soldiers who are harassing them. The Japanese pirates are bound to be angered and send out their main force with a contemptuous attitude. Attack.
To be honest, the Korean army's combat effectiveness is relatively low, and it is indeed difficult to resist the Japanese pirates' attacks, and they often collapse at the first touch.
Then just use the trick and turn around and "escape".
We ran to the coast in one breath, and then our elite troops rushed out and annihilated the enemy in one fell swoop.
…
"General Li leads 10,000 troops to lure the enemy," Zhang Yi deployed, "General Niu leads 10,000 wolf cavalry, General Shi leads 8,000 iron troops, and General Liu Cheng leads 1,000 imperial troops. These three troops are the main force in killing the enemy. Wa General Jim led the Slavic Army to stand by in the city, while the others guarded Liujing."
Everyone took orders.
Zhang Yi's specific arrangement was that the Wolf Cavalry, the Iron Army and the Royal Forest Army were all disguised as soldiers of the Korean Legion. The armor was covered with a khaki or turquoise battle uniform, which could not be distinguished from a distance, and the flags were all Taegeuk flags.
There is no critical task in this battle and there is no need to carry artillery. Xiao Han and Xiaoliu guard Liujing, while Chen Yiyi and Fu Xiang accompany Zhang Yi to fight.
Vajim is a reserve army, and Zhang Yihui will decide whether the Slavic Army will participate in the war based on the field situation.
If the disguised North Korean regiment can annihilate the enemy, there will be no need to mobilize troops, and the same tactics can continue to be used.
Arrangements were made, and everyone went to prepare.
This time Xiaoliu was very obedient and did not ask to go with Zhang Yi. She also knew that there were no female soldiers in the Korean Army. She and the Detachment of Women would be discovered by the enemy once they showed up. Moreover, guarding Liujing was also an extremely important task, and she absolutely could not An accident occurred.
"Brother Yi, Xiaohan and I will keep our home safe. Just feel free to kill the enemy." Xiao Liu said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Liu'er. If we can successfully fight a few battles to lure the enemy, we can change from passive to active and move south to capture the entire peninsula as soon as possible." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"We will definitely succeed, Brother Yi. I think the Japanese pirates are just resisting in a corner. To destroy them, all it takes is a straw." Xiaoliu said confidently.
"That's good, then let's be the straw that breaks the camel's back!" Zhang Yi laughed.
Two days later, the preparations were completed.
The North City Gate opened, and Li Chang took the lead, leading the Korean army to advance to the north.
