The Japanese pirate army, with only 60,000 to 70,000 troops left, was defeated and retreated to Busan. It can be said that it has no morale. The Japanese pirate army seems to be quite large, but you must know that the Japanese pirate army is composed of soldiers from various Japanese princes.
, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi rose to power, they even fought with each other. In this situation, the centralized Central Plains had no advantage in the face of professional soldiers.
In addition, the Japanese pirates were beaten all the way by the Central Plains army. Facing the Central Plains army, the Japanese pirates actually had no intention of fighting. The Ukita Hide family thought of many ways, and even promised high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but they had no effect. In the end, Ukita Hide family
The family simply used more than half of the wealth that the Japanese pirate army had scavenged in North Korea to reward their men, which restored the morale of the army a little, but this was just to make the Japanese pirate army look like that.
The Northern Army's tens of thousands troops arrived in Busan with siege equipment. The Japanese pirates were very nervous and prepared for the attack, but they found that the Northern Army did not launch an attack at all, but only blocked Busan.
Ukita Hideie was very confused. According to the current situation, as long as the Northern Army launched an attack, it was very likely to capture Busan. However, the Northern Army did not launch an attack. This situation was contrary to common sense, which made Ukita Hideie a little confused. He even sent
His trusted troops tentatively launched a sneak attack on the Northern Army. Of course, the Japanese pirates' sneak attack failed, and several thousand troops were lost.
However, after wiping out the Japanese pirates' sneak attack troops, the Northern Army only strengthened patrols and still did not launch an attack. In fact, at this time, the Northern Army was just waiting for news, and there was no conspiracy. The Northern Army naturally knew that as long as it launched a fierce attack, it would soon be
It is possible to capture Busan, but the Japanese pirates are now a trapped beast. If a fierce attack is launched, the casualties of the Northern Army will not be small. The Northern Army general does not want to increase the casualties of his own army for the sake of a group of Japanese pirates.
The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, following Zeng Yi's advice, had dispatched an urgent dispatch of eight hundred miles to report to the court and request naval support. Although the Korean War was basically fought on Korean soil, the Central Plains navy had no time to spare.
Now, these days, although I haven't taken any direct action, I have secretly sent warships to attack the Japanese transport ships. If it weren't for the naval guerrilla warfare, the Japanese pirates would definitely have more supplies than they do now.
In the past few days since the Northern Army ceased war, the 800-mile express has arrived in the capital. The old prince is actually very aware of the current situation in North Korea. The pro-military Duwei Mansion will pass back information on North Korea every day. The old prince also knows that the North
The reason why the army called the navy for support was not because the losses were huge or the battle was not going well, but just to reduce the casualties of the soldiers. After receiving the Northern Army's eight-hundred-mile emergency call, the old prince immediately ordered the navy without any hesitation.
Move out.
Tens of thousands of Japanese pirates were nervously waiting for the Northern Army's attack in Busan. This was both a blessing for the Japanese pirates, glad that they were still alive, but also a kind of suffering. They didn't know when the Northern Army would launch their attack, and they didn't know.
How long can I survive in this desperate war?
After waiting anxiously for several days, the Japanese pirates did not wait for the Northern Army to attack on the road. Instead, they waited for the Central Plains Navy to launch an attack from the sea.
This was a very ordinary night. The moon was dark and the wind was high. In Busan City, there were tens of thousands of Japanese pirates. After dinner, they began to take turns to rest. Although the Northern Army had no intention of attacking, the Japanese pirates were more careful. At least at night
Half of the people will still guard the city wall.
In the Busan Port, the Japanese pirate navy's warships are all moored inside the port. The weapons on the Japanese pirate navy's main warships are now the life-saving straw for the Japanese pirate army. This is their only weapon that can threaten the Northern Army's siege equipment.
Not daring to leave the port, all personnel were on standby every day, ready to respond to the Northern Army's attack at any time.
The Japanese navy also took turns to rest, and there were even some patrol boats patrolling inside and outside the port. A small patrol boat patrolled outside the port under the faint moonlight. The soldiers on it were all in a daze. At this time, a Japanese pirate
The soldier patted a sleepy comrade beside him and said, "Did you hear the sound of the waves? There seemed to be a faint sound of the waves coming from ahead."
"Isn't it normal for there to be a little sound of waves blown by the sea breeze at night? There's no need to make a fuss."
The soldier who just spoke frowned and whispered, "But it doesn't sound like the sound of waves blown by the sea breeze!" Unfortunately, the Japanese soldier next to him had already fallen asleep again.
The soldier always felt something was wrong, so he walked out of the cabin and looked around in the distance. After a while, the guy suddenly saw lights in the distance! "What is that?...Wait...No."
OK, enemy attack!"
The soldier roared angrily, and dozens of Japanese pirate soldiers on the patrol ship all woke up and rushed onto the deck, "What's going on!"
"What enemy attack! Where is the enemy?"
After a while, these people all noticed the lights getting closer and closer in the distance! "Quick! Inform the main force!" The captain of the patrol ship roared with his eyes wide open in fear!
However, as soon as the captain of the patrol ship finished speaking, everyone heard the sound of rushing. When they looked up, thousands of large and small crossbow arrows had been fired. A small patrol ship could not even fire a single crossbow.
Unable to bear it, let alone other weapons, after a while, the small patrol ship fell silent to the bottom of the sea.
...
"Haha, which ship is this!" In the darkness, the captain of a first-class ironclad ship from the Zhongyuan Navy asked the deputy general next to him.
"Captain, this is the third Japanese pirate patrol ship we have destroyed. The Port of Busan is in front of us!"
"Very good! Order the fleet to advance at full speed, prepare all weapons, and be on standby at any time, ready to attack enemy ships!"
The huge fleet that had always been in the darkness rushed out from the looming fog on the sea. The leader was three first-class iron-clad ships, followed by more than a dozen second-class warships. The Dengzhou Navy received the order from the old prince, and once
Xing directly dispatched more than half of his strength. With such strength, let alone the navy sent by the Japanese pirates to North Korea, it is estimated that even if the strength is doubled, there is no way to face the huge fleet of the Hard Steel Dengzhou Navy.
The Japanese navy dispatched a lot of patrol ships. It was basically impossible for the Central Plains army to completely hide the Japanese pirate navy. After rushing into the Busan Port, it didn't take long for several Japanese patrol ships to discover the Dengzhou group at the same time.
