Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Lu Tang was silent for a moment and then said: "It won't be too late to return to the division to support us after we capture Dazaifu!"

Li Weiwei was angry: "How come it's not too late? When we finish defeating Dazaifu and then go there, they will probably all be wiped out!"

Lu Tang was speechless. Of course he understood this, but this was the most beneficial arrangement for Li Wei and their subordinates.

First capture Dazaifu, and then return to intercept the enemy at the floating bridge. The Japanese ambushed Tanghe. They followed behind and defeated the Japanese when they were tired. After such a battle, all the victory was attributed to them. After they returned, they It would not be an exaggeration to grant a few more titles to the emperor, and Li Wei might even be granted the title of Duke!
As for Tang and the others, to be honest, Lu Tang and Chen Su, who were born as craftsmen, had no good impressions of these nobles and were even resentful.

The so-called corrupt officials and illegal nobles are not just words. Under these simple words, there are the blood and tears of countless people. Don't look at people like Tang and Hu Hai talking and laughing with them now. In fact, they are facing ordinary people. They didn't have this attitude when they were ordinary people.

Just like Tang He, he is a drunkard and a murderer, so he is a real killer, and even if he kills innocent people indiscriminately, he will be fine if he has an iron ticket to avoid death. At most, he will be reprimanded and punished by Zhu Yuanzhang if he finds out.

It cannot be said that it is unique for someone like Li Wei, who holds a high position and still treats ordinary people as equals, to be rare.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Wei immediately snorted angrily.

But now is not the time to hold people accountable, it is important to respond as quickly as possible.

"Pass the order, the front army will become the rear army, and the whole army will turn to fight for the lead and support the general!"

Li Wei ordered.

Lu Tang was startled and quickly stopped him: "No, Lord Marquis, now we have arrived near Dazaifu, and the Japanese defenders must have discovered us. If the army rashly turns around and is chased by them, we will be passive. Even if we catch up in time, When we reach the pontoon, we will be attacked from both sides by the Japanese."

Li Wei's expression changed and he immediately reacted.

In this situation, he is riding a tiger and cannot get out of the situation. If he does not take Dazaifu first to relieve his worries, then supporting the pontoon will put the Ming army into a risk of complete defeat.

But he couldn't just give up on Tanghe. Even if he ignored these noble generals, he still had to save tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers!
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Li Weiwei shouted: "Call all the generals to discuss!"

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Lu Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned around and went out to call other generals.

After a while, Jiang Long, Shi Jun and others gathered in front of Li Wei.

Li Wei was still angry and waved his hand to let Lu Tang explain to them.

Lu Tang had already prepared and gave the information intercepted from Lin Xian to Jiang Long and others for review.

"Everyone, someone recently discovered that there was a spy in the army. After I got the news, I made a secret plan and finally captured the traitor. This was the message he conveyed to the Japanese. We intercepted it, but he had already disclosed the information to the Japanese before that. Japanese."

After Lu Tang finished speaking, the faces of Jiang Long and others changed drastically.

"If this is the case, the Japanese will definitely set up an ambush at the pontoon in advance. Wouldn't the General and the others be in danger?"

Shi Jun said worriedly.

Li Wei nodded lightly: "Yes, that's why I asked everyone to come over to figure out a solution together. What should we do now?"

Although Li Wei did not explain Lu Tang's words, Jiang Long and Shi Jun were not stupid people, and they easily thought of these.

Jiang Long's eyes flashed. Although he didn't know as clearly as Lu Tang did, after a little analysis of the current situation, he could clearly understand the current pros and cons.

"Master Marquis, now that the matter has come to this, I think it would be better for our army to attack Dazaifu first and then return to support the pontoon!" Jiang Long stepped forward and cupped his hands.

Shi Jun also nodded, this is indeed the best choice now.

Li Wei frowned: "Is there any other way? The general and the others may not be able to support us for long."

Jiang Long and Shi Jun looked at each other and shook their heads slowly: "We can only do it as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Li Wei paced back and forth irritably, and after a moment he suddenly shouted angrily: "Lu Tang! Order the army to march to Dazaifu immediately and try to break through the city in half a day! If you can't do it, I will take advantage of you!"

"Yes!"

Lu Tang did not dare to say anything, so he raised his hands and said yes, and left in a hurry to deliver the order.

Jiang Long and Shi Jun were a little surprised. They didn't know why the Marquis suddenly became angry at Lu Tang.

……

At the Nagawa Floating Bridge, the Ming army, which was successfully attacked by the Shimazu clan, barely stabilized its position after a fierce battle.

Although the Shimazu clan had the advantage of sneak attacks, the Ming army was superior in terms of combat power and equipment. After the initial panic, the two armies fell into a tug-of-war, fighting back and forth.

In the Ming army formation, Tang He, Hu Hai and others were all covered in blood, whether it was the enemy's or their own, and their eyes revealed ferocity.

They were all furious at this battle. The Ming army was suddenly attacked and suffered heavy casualties. Nearly a thousand people died in this period alone.

However, being in a foreign country in the Republic of China, the soldiers also knew that there was no way out, and they all fought to the death with a desperate mentality. Only then could they hold off the enemy and form a confrontation with the enemy.

"General, the situation is not good. The enemy is blocking us hard. We can't rush through. If that doesn't work, let's retreat first!"

Hu Hai said while wiping the blood on his face.

Tang He looked solemn: "No, we have to rush over! If what I predict is correct, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon. If we retreat, we will be attacked from both sides, and we will not be able to fight against the enemy. Rushing across the pontoon bridge is our only chance of survival. , I can only give it a try!"

After hearing what Tang He said, Hu Hai understood. He could only grit his teeth and continue fighting.

"Come to me, no matter the cost, cross the pontoon bridge by force!" Hu Hai brandished his sword and roared. After saying this, he led his soldiers to charge forward, pointing directly in the direction of the pontoon bridge. There is a saying in the art of war: An army hanging thousands of miles away cannot be defeated!
Although the Ming army suffered heavy losses due to the attack, they were located in an enemy country thousands of miles away and had no way to retreat, so every soldier would fight tooth and nail.

Under the leadership of Hu Hai, the soldiers of the Ming army strengthened their spirits, brandished their swords and guns, and bravely followed him to charge.

Among the Japanese army, Shimazu Yoshihiro stared at the ferocious Ming army, not anxious at all. He knew that reinforcements from Dazaifu would arrive in the near future, which would definitely make it difficult for these Ming troops to fly!

But the actions of Hu Hai's men surprised him. Under the leadership of this fierce general, the Ming army was like a sharp sword, tearing apart the Japanese siege and gradually approaching the floating bridge.

"Stop them, don't let them get close to the pontoon!" Yoshihiro Shimazu yelled hurriedly.

"Yes!"

His subordinates received the order and quickly mobilized Japanese soldiers to reinforce the floating bridge.

"kill……"

"Bang bang..."

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The shouts of killing rang out, arrows and firecrackers were fired, and the battlefield in front of the pontoon suddenly became extremely fierce. The Ming army rushed forward desperately, while the Japanese resisted with all their might.

Hu Hai took the lead and was so brave that he chopped down the Japanese on the opposite side with his sword to the ground.

Needless to say, the other equipment of this Japanese is not very good, but this Japanese sword is very good. The Ming army is now equipped with fine steel weapons made of high-quality steel by the Ordnance Bureau, but Hu Hai is so powerful and heavy. One knife failed to make a gap in the Japanese sword!
Fortunately, he was very strong. Even with a good sword, the Japanese couldn't stop him. A deep bloody gash was cut on his shoulder, and he basically lost his fighting ability.

"Come to me! Grab the pontoon and let's go to the other side!"

Hu Hai took the time to point his knife at the head of the pontoon bridge and shouted.

When the soldiers of the Ming Army heard the call, they rushed in the direction he pointed at all costs.

When Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was watching the battle from behind, saw this scene, he suddenly felt anxious and shouted: "Quick, stop them quickly, don't let them cross the bridge!"

They finally laid an ambush here to block these Ming troops. If they were allowed to cross the bridge, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain!

Under his order, the Japanese continued to support the bridge. If one person fell, he would immediately replace him with another, desperately blocking the Ming army's attack.

At this time, a melee broke out between the two parties, and bows, arrows, and firecrackers had lost their use, and they started fighting with real swords and guns.

Fighting on the battlefield is not like fighting for a long time in martial arts dramas and both sides remain unscathed. When soldiers from the two sides face each other, it is usually either I chop you to death, or you chop me to death. There is no fancy way of you coming and going, but it is all exhausted. Slash the opponent with all your strength, disemboweling him at every turn and causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere!
For a time, the Ming army led by Hu Hai was like a sharp knife, advancing towards the bridge with difficulty, leaving a trail of blood staining the road red.

While the two parties were fighting fiercely, He Fu, who was in charge of the rear, suddenly changed his expression and shouted: "Hurry! Hurry up, Japanese reinforcements are here!"

At the rear of the Ming army, the 70,000-strong army led by Shaoer Puteng and the Otomo Shimazu clan was already in sight. Tang He made the right choice this time. If the Ming army had chosen to retreat before, they would have directly bumped into these Japanese. When the time comes, they will have no chance of surviving under the attack from both front and rear. The only thing they can do is to disperse and flee into the mountains and forests.

However, once the army disperses, it will be difficult to gather it back together. Plus, in a foreign country, they will really have to be wiped out.

Fortunately, they made the right choice and now there is a glimmer of hope!
When the Ming army charging in front heard the shouts from behind, they fought desperately. The roars came one after another. Some soldiers would rather die together than stab the Japanese blocking the road in front to death!
Even the Japanese warriors who were deeply brainwashed by bushido were frightened by the Ming army's life-threatening tactics. With their morale rising and falling, they were quickly pushed to the bridgehead position by the Ming army.

Seeing that he had finally taken over the bridge, Hu Hai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted: "Hurry, cross the bridge quickly!"

The Ming army also knew that this was a moment of life and death, and did not dare to hesitate at all. They directly abandoned the heavier food and grass baggage and rushed onto the pontoon bridge lightly.

The so-called pontoon bridge is made of some small boats or water tanks placed underneath, with wooden boards on top connected by ropes. The Nagawa pontoon bridge is not spacious, and it would take a lot of time for tens of thousands of Ming troops to cross it. After occupying the bridge head, the two sides are still Facing the Japanese attack, they must hold on and buy time for their comrades to cross the bridge.

When Shimazu Yoshihiro saw this scene, his heart suddenly sank and he roared: "Stop them quickly! If not, just destroy the pontoon bridge and don't let them cross!"

With that said, he couldn't stay any longer and personally led the people up to supervise the battle.

For a time, the bridgehead became the center of the battlefield. Thousands of Japanese and Ming soldiers crowded together, constantly slashing at each other with their swords, and corpses piled up quickly.

Some Japanese jumped directly into the waterway to cut the ropes connecting the wooden boards. They wanted to destroy the weak pontoon as ordered. The Ming army had to defend on both sides.

Not long after, the army led by Shao Er Pu Teng finally arrived here. Seeing the current situation, he immediately understood the purpose of the Ming army. He didn't bother to form a formation or anything, and directly ordered people to join the fight. The pressure of the Ming army suddenly Big increase!

When Shaoer Puteng and others rushed to the pontoon, Li Wei also began to attack the city.

Due to the complicated power of the Japanese country, the territory occupied by each daimyo was very limited, and it was difficult to organize a huge manpower to build a large city. The smaller daimyo often directly used natural dangers such as mountains and rivers as defense, and the cities built by larger families also Not big.

However, with the fall of the Kamakura shogunate and the continuous civil war in Japan, the demand for the city from various forces became stronger and stronger. Dazaifu, as the representative shogunate or the emperor's ruling center in Kyushu, has been passed down for hundreds of years. It not only has Hirayama built on the mountain city, and moats were dug outside the city.

Li Wei couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this city. It was much harder to attack a city with a moat than a city without a moat.

"The artillery arrays are arranged at an angle to focus fire here, and soldiers are arranged to attack from the center!"

Li Wei first inspected the city and found a slightly weak place to make arrangements.

Although Lu Tang had not experienced the Battle of Puding, he was a craftsman and his use of artillery was much better than Sun Lei. He understood this method of warfare as soon as Li Wei told him about it.

The situation is urgent and the siege must be fast!

The Ming army formed an array five hundred steps outside the city. Bows and arrows could not reach here, but the artillery range could easily cover the opponent. This was the absolute advantage of firearms!
