Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 8 Chaos Strategy
Since Hojo Zongzheng chose such a mountainous area as a defense, he must have wanted to use the geographical advantage to make it difficult for his side to take advantage of the battle, thus dragging the battle into a mountainous battle that is conducive to small groups of skirmishers.

Fan Zhuoyuan looked at the captured map, tapped on the table, turned his head to look at his subordinate generals, and asked, "Before the Eastern Expedition, how are you mastering the mandarin duck formation that I asked everyone to practice?"

General Fu Shidao clasped his fists and said, "Young commander, this mandarin duck formation is not complicated. It is suitable for small-scale chaotic battles, not for group battles. Are you planning to use it?"

Fan Zhuoyuan pointed his finger at the rolling hills in Sanchi County, "This place is not suitable for battles. We only need a large formation of soldiers and horses to form a fortress. The rest will inevitably have to fight against Japanese pirates in the mountain villages." The enemy's stragglers are fighting, but it is suitable for the mandarin duck formation to play."

The generals ignored those dying ninjas and gathered around Fan Zhuoyuan, looking at the map on the table.

All present were veteran generals who had experienced the Song and Yuan wars, and all of them were trained by Zhang Shijie. They were good at water warfare and mountain warfare. Looking at the geographical situation, they immediately understood what Fan Zhuoyuan meant.

"Young Marshal, I have already understood that this battle will definitely surprise the Japanese pirates! May I ask when will we go to war?"

Fan Zhuoyuan looked at the sky outside, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and said, "Let's go immediately when the wind dies down!"

Later, Fan Zhuoyuan wrote two letters, one to his father, Fan Wenhu, and the other to Zhang Xi, commander of the right-wing [-]-strong army who had conquered Fenghou Kingdom.

He has already decided on a follow-up battle strategy, and he is determined to take down Chikugo in one fell swoop.

As for the Mengyuan East Route Army, if the wind continues to blow, there will be no East Route Army.

After finishing these things, Fan Zhuoyuan put the list of personnel who assisted the assassins into the city that had just been tortured on the table, and called for an interpreter.

The businessman had never seen such a cruel scene, his stomach was already empty from vomiting, and now he was kneeling in front of Fan Zhuoyuan like a walking dead.

"What's your name?" Fan Zhuoyuan's tone remained unchanged from the beginning to the end.

"The villain, Yuto Ishii..."

"Very well, take my soldiers and search for them one by one according to the names on this paper."

Ishii Yuto suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of horror, "General, you are going to..."

"In the territory I govern, rats are not allowed to exist, so I can only ask them to die quietly like the rats.

And Ni, as our good friend, will be elected as the tax collector in the city to help us manage this place well.

We are here not to destroy, but to save the people of Japan and get rid of the bottomless exploitation and oppression of the samurai lords.

We come here with good intentions, and we will surely create a peaceful and prosperous world. "

……

Fan Zhuoyuan was waiting for the wind to stop, but the wind not only didn't stop, but also got bigger and bigger, so big that it could blow up some not so big trees by their roots.

Not only is the wind blowing, but also rain, heavy rain!

If it wasn't for the fact that the city was built on a mountain, the rain would have been enough to submerge the entire city.

No one could march and fight in such weather, Fan Zhuoyuan waited for seven days.

Like Fan Zhuoyuan, there was Jin Jingjing who was waiting.

The assassination failed that day, and he immediately returned to Miike County, Chikugo Country, and reported the result to the lord Hojo Somasa.

"Mr. Jingjing, that is to say, there are only more than [-] troops currently stationed in Feihou?"

Jin Jingjing nodded, "For the specific situation, you can ask Sarutobi Hitsuki."

Koga Shangnin Sarutobi Sun and Moon had already compiled the corresponding information and handed it directly to Hojo Sonemasa.

"City Master, this group of Yuan Bandits is just a part of the army. They have divided their troops, and some are attacking Bunghou Kingdom. Presumably, Bunghou Kingdom has already been captured."

Hojo Zongzheng shook his head and said: "Then we can only look at Dazai-sama's deployment, the wind outside is really strong."

The three of them looked out the window together, and Kagami Jin said: "The kamikaze has come, no accident, the 4 yuan Kou from Fukuoka should be buried on the waves!"

All the samurai in the house were excited, and a retainer said: "In this way, after the wind stops, Lord Dazai will be able to free up troops to support us and the Buzen Kingdom!"

Fengqian Kingdom is adjacent to Bungou Kingdom, and now the right-wing [-] troops of the Great Song Dynasty's descending army have entered the feudal city of Bunghou Kingdom's lord, and will enter Fengqian Kingdom after the wind dies down, forming a pincer offensive with Fan Zhuoyuan's troops.

But the premise is that Fan Zhuoyuan must conquer Chikugo Kingdom within the agreed time.

Not only Fan Zhuoyuan knew this, but also the many warriors of Chikugo Kingdom here.

Hojo Zongzheng said: "I brought the main force here to take advantage of the complex mountainous terrain, which is not conducive to the Yuan bandits forming a large formation to fight, and it is also not conducive to their cavalry advantage.

We can only fight with us in a chaotic battle in an unfamiliar mountain forest.

Some time ago, they fought with the Yuan Kou East Route Army in Boduo Bay. Although they were well-equipped and powerful, they couldn't take much advantage in the situation of stragglers fighting. "

Everyone praised, and many retainers flattered, "The Patriarch has a long-term plan. If the Yuan Bandits dare to come this time, they will surely return in disastrous defeat!"

Kagami Hitoshi looked at Sommasa Hojo and didn't have much to say. After all, the lord's arrangement was not a problem. The elites of various Japanese daimyos would not be able to fight the Yuan Bandits on flat ground, even if they had ten times the strength.

But he couldn't bear to listen to all kinds of flattery, so he apologized and turned to leave.

Seeing this, a retainer said unhappily: "It's just a lost dog, what's the difference from a ronin, and he's still putting on airs to protect Tsushima Island."

"That's right, and I vowed before that this assassination would be successful, but Iga Kami Ninja Hattori was killed in the end. It seems that the so-called soul of Tsushima Island is nothing more than bragging."

Hojo Zongzheng stopped and said: "Enough is enough, Mr. Jingjing has contributed a lot to fight against the Yuan bandits, so don't say anything wrong behind his back."

Not long after Jin Jingjing left, Sarutobi Sun and Moon also came out.

"What is the strength of that Yuan Kou general? Hattori can't even get away."

Looking at the wind and rain outside the corridor, Jinjing put his bamboo hat on his head and said in a deep voice, "It's a scary guy, just like a ghost, and he can't be killed by ordinary methods."

Sarutobi Sun and Moon wondered: "Evil ghost? What do you mean?"

"This man is invulnerable, I used Yuan Kou's Thunderbolt to force him back."

Sarutobi Sun and Moon sneered and said, "Invulnerable to swords and guns? Could there be such a person!"

At this time, Ye Xiuping turned around from the corner, "Middle Earth does have martial arts that can make a person's body invulnerable."

Yuan Fei Riyue slightly staggered two steps, he seemed to be quite afraid of this Song scholar.

"What kind of kung fu is that?"

"External skills are practiced horizontally, such as iron cloth shirts, golden bell covers, etc., as long as they are practiced to a great extent, all iron will be hard to hurt."

Yuan Fei Sun and Moon asked in surprise: "Are there many people who know this kind of martial arts?"

"This kind of martial arts is almost bad, and many people know it."

Yuan Fei Sun Yue was startled at first, and then sarcastically said: "Nonsense, you won't!"

"Hmph, I said that many people can do it, but it doesn't mean that everyone can practice it to great success.

Before reaching great success, this kind of horizontal kung fu practice is nothing more than standing and being beaten, and there are still barriers.

Only when you practice to a great degree, your body will form an instinct for defense, which will not only greatly increase your defense, but also greatly enhance your strength and physique. This is probably the case with this Young Marshal Fan.

Although it is a very widely spread horizontal practice method, but because the cultivation process of the method is very painful, the actual combat effect in the initial stage is still very poor, and it is even very easy to injure yourself, and there are very few people who can really practice it.
