At dawn, the sun rises from the east and casts a ray of light on the sea.
Zhang Yi slowly inserted the Chinese Dragon Bird Sword into its sheath.
He looked up at the sea. Countless corpses were drifting with the waves. The arrogant Japanese pirate army was slaughtered and ended up with the same arrogant Tsarist army.
After a day and night of fighting, one hundred thousand enemy troops were annihilated!
Another record, Zhang Yi thought happily.
To be able to create such a miracle, strategy is the key. To lead the Tsarist army into the canyon and push the Japanese pirate army to the seaside, the choice of battlefield is simply too important.
In addition, our army is united, brave and tenacious, which is unmatched by any army in the world.
Our army is invincible.
Zhang Yi turned around and looked proudly at the group of brave and fearless soldiers.
"Long live my sworn brother, long live victory, Ula!"
The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison.
Han soldiers, Mongolian soldiers, Korean soldiers and Slavic soldiers looked up to Zhang Yi standing on the rocks with admiration. This young man and their commander was the heroic master who led them to victory!
The moment of victory always makes people feel excited and excited.
But Zhang Yi had no time to savor the taste of victory.
His eyes moved to Ryugyong, which was dozens of kilometers away. The morning fog filled the wilderness. What was the situation in Ryugyong? Has Satsuma Kuroda launched an attack?
What's Liu'er's situation now?
Zhang Yi's heartstrings tightened.
He also wanted the soldiers to take a breather, but time did not permit it.
"Brothers!" Zhang Yi pointed in the direction of Liu Jing and said loudly, "I know you have worked very hard and are very tired, but I can conclude that Satsuma Kuroda is attacking Liu Jing with all his strength. We must rush back as soon as possible to defeat Kuroda in one fell swoop.
Tasatsuma!”
Two translators spoke in Korean and Cyrillic respectively.
The soldiers immediately let out an excited roar.
"Yi Ge, fight back to Liujing!"
"Protect Princess Liu!"
"We have enough strength to kill the Japanese pirate leader Satsuma Kuroda!"
Needless to say, just kill him and go back.
Zhang Yifei jumped on Jueying's back, paid military salutes to the soldiers, and then took the lead and galloped away towards Liujing.
No one was willing to fall behind, and all the legions followed Zhang Yi. Thousands of horses galloped across the field, raising huge clouds of dust.
…
Kuroda Satsuma learned the news of the dispatch of reinforcements from Heicheng last night.
The two places were hundreds of kilometers apart, so it was impossible for him to grasp the information in time.
Kuroda Satsuma summoned his generals to discuss how to respond.
The scouts reported that Zhang Yi himself participated in the attack on General Yoshikawa Hisaichi. The Korean regiment led by Li Changzhi only had about 10,000 people, and the remaining tens of thousands were the main Chinese army.
"Cunning, Zhang Yi is so cunning!"
Satsuma Kuroda muttered something in broken Chinese.
Li Changzhi had been hiding for a long time and suddenly appeared and pledged his allegiance to Zhang Yi. This was not a good thing.
He knows the situation on the Korean Peninsula very well. With him, Zhang Yi is even more powerful.
"Marshal, our army should immediately dispatch to support General Yoshikawa and take the opportunity to eliminate Zhang Yi and Li Changzhi in the wild." General Saburo Ishii bowed and said.
Kuroda Satsuma was silent.
Of course he wanted to kill the two of them through field battles. The scouts found out that they were only 30,000 men. And General Yoshikawa Hisaichi had a force of 100,000. Even if he was trapped on the beach, it would only be temporary. After the Pingcheng reinforcements were dispatched, the two armies attacked
, Zhang Yi is very difficult to resist.
He believes that now is the best time to attack Ryugyong.
Nakamura Shaoxiong, who is good at observing colors, saw the coach's thoughts and bowed.
"Marshal, the general believes that General Yoshikawa has a strong force, and Zhang Yi only has 30,000 troops, so he does not pose a threat to General Yoshikawa. If Zhang Yi sends troops for reinforcements, the defense force of Liujing City will be even weaker. This is to attack Liujing.
What a great opportunity!”
"Ryukyo is certainly important, but the general believes that annihilating Zhang Yi and Li Changzhi in the field is the most important! Once these two people die, the enemy army will collapse, and Ryukyong is in our pocket." Ishii Saburo insisted on his opinion.
road.
"Ishii-kun, Ryugyong stores countless grains and supplies, which is very important to us. If we go to attack Zhang Yi and Li Changzhi, they will definitely flee, and we will miss the best opportunity to capture Ryugyong!" Nakamura
The young hero refused to give way even an inch.
The two got into an argument.
The officers were divided into two groups and quarreled.
"Stop arguing, it's just a waste of precious time," Kuroda Satsuma said displeased, "Gentlemen, I think we should attack Liu Jing and take back everything we have lost. Zhang Yi will lose his footing if Liu Jing is lost.
If we hold on to Liujing, we won’t have any worries, and then we can divide our forces to encircle and suppress Zhang Yi and Li Changzhi. Isn’t this a strategy that has the best of both worlds?”
"Congratulations, Marshal!" Nakamura Shaoxiong said flatteringly, "There is also a very important point. This time Zhang Yi went to attack Pingcheng and did not bring many artillery. We must seize the artillery at all costs!"
"General, please obey the command of the commander-in-chief," Saburo Ishii did not dare to disobey the order, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "It's okay, if you steal the enemy's artillery, the empire can imitate it, and it will become a weapon for the imperial army to conquer the world."
"Ishii-kun is right to think so," Kuroda Satsuma nodded and laughed wildly, "Ryugyong, artillery, we must seize it as soon as possible. Gentlemen, please pass on the order and dispatch the entire army! This battle will determine the final outcome and the fate of the empire.
It is also extremely critical, all of you must sacrifice your lives and fight!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, obey the Marshal's orders, and we are willing to sacrifice our lives to fight for the Empire!" the generals shouted one after another.
…
At three o'clock in the morning, the southern defense line dispatched 150,000 troops, including 50,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry, carrying ladders and other siege equipment, and rushed towards Liujing City with great momentum.
Marshal Satsuma Kuroda personally leads the army, and he is bound to win this battle.
Marching all the way, they arrived at Ryugyong Castle at 5:30 in the morning. Kuroda Satsuma ordered the entire army to stop. He had already thought of tactics on the way. The artillery was too powerful, and if he concentrated his troops to attack the city gate, he would suffer heavy losses.
He decided to disperse his forces and sent four generals to attack the four city gates respectively, all assisting to attract the firepower of the defenders.
In addition, an elite commando team of tens of thousands of people was dispatched to find the weak spots in the Liujing city wall and carry out key attacks.
Kuroda Satsuma believed that this plan was foolproof.
He ordered the entire army to disperse, moved in silence, and completed the siege of Ryugyong City at 6:30 in the morning.
Kuroda Satsuma gave an order, the conch sound sounded, and the Japanese pirates rushed towards Ryugyong like a tide, launching a fierce offensive.
At this moment, the defenders on top of the city opened fire.
The roar of cannons broke the tranquility of the night, and a fierce battle began.
The enemy's actions, which they thought were secretive, had long been discovered by our army, and the most critical moment has arrived.
