Chapter 1778 The end of the Japanese pirates (Part 2)

Chapter 1776: The end of the Japanese pirates (Part 2)

 Youzhou, Yuyang County, Lu County.

 This place also became a battlefield for the Northern Han Dynasty and Japanese pirates.

With the blessing of "Wu Xiong", Xue Gang, whose commander reached 100, was ordered by Liu Che, Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, to lead 30,000 new soldiers and 5,000 cavalry to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates.

Today's Northern Han Dynasty has the powerful Qin Dynasty in the south, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the north. The Northern Han Dynasty is caught in the cracks. The pressure is unprecedented, so Xue Gang must wipe out the Japanese pirates in the shortest possible time.

 Sanada Yukimura, known as Japan's number one soldier during the Warring States Period, was both wise and brave. He had only one-seventh of the troops of the Han army, so it was naturally impossible for him to confront the Northern Han army head-on. However, he ultimately underestimated Xue Gang's methods.

Xue Gang saw that the Japanese pirates had been avoiding fighting, and he didn't have much time to fight. In desperation, he only led a thousand elite cavalry and two thousand infantry to challenge the Japanese pirates.

Sanada Yukimura saw that the Han army that came to attack only had 3,000 troops, of which 2,000 were new soldiers. However, his own side had a full 5,000 elite troops, which was 2,000 more troops than the Han army. The probability of victory was more than 70%, so he gave birth to He planned to eat this group of Han troops.

 The two sides squared off in Lu County, Yuyang County, and began the final life-and-death battle.

 Sanada Yukimura: Commander 96, Martial Power 99, Intelligence 95, Politics 84, Charisma 97; Equipment: Jumonji Gun, White and Raw Hair;

Yukimura Sanada overestimated himself and underestimated Xue Gang. With a commander level of 96, even with the blessing of skills, his commander attributes were still not as good as Xue Gang's.

Of course, Xue Gang could not be stupid and use only three thousand soldiers and horses to go head-to-head with five thousand Japanese pirates. The reason why he dared to do this was because the two thousand infantry were not new troops at all, but dismounted elite cavalry.

Youzhou's elite cavalry, even if dismounted, is no less powerful than the infantry, so Xue Gang actually led 3,000 elite troops into the battle.

 Three thousand Northern Han elites VS five thousand Japanese pirates.

After the war started, Sanada Nobumura was directly confused. He couldn't believe that the Northern Han army was so powerful. His 5,000-strong army could not defeat the opponent's 3,000.

Soon, Nobumura Sanada discovered something was wrong. What kind of recruit was this? He is simply a veteran who kills without blinking an eye.

After realizing that he had been tricked by Xue Gang, Sanada Nobumura decisively issued the order to retreat. This battle resulted in more than half of the Japanese casualties, but the Northern Han army suffered less than a thousand casualties.

　　Sanada Nobumura, who was defeated in the first battle, never recovered, but Xue Gang relied on his military superiority to continuously squeeze the Japanese pirates' space for activity, bit by bit eroding the Japanese pirates' effective troops.

In the end, Xue Gang defeated the Japanese pirates in less than half a month, and Sanada Yukimura could not escape back to Japan with less than 500 people.

When he came to the Central Plains, Sanada Yukimura brought five thousand elites, but when he returned, he only had five hundred left. Even if he robbed so much money and food, he still could not make up for the loss of manpower in the Central Plains. This trip to the Central Plains was a big loss. Sent.

What Yukimura Sanada didn't know was that he at least returned to Japan with the money and food he had grabbed, while Motori Moto was just the Uesugi Kanenobu family, but the entire army was wiped out and no benefit was gained at all.

Moto Rimoto risked his life, and Kanenobu Uesugi’s whereabouts are unknown.

 Compared with these two companies, Sanada Yukimura's luck is already good.

The next person to suffer disaster after Sanada Yukimura was Date Masamune. Date Masamune's luck was really bad. It was not good for him to choose anyone, but he chose Qi State, which had a strong naval force, and Qi State also had Zhu Tianpeng, a top naval warfare general.

 After other Japanese princes came to the Central Plains, they basically looted some places, causing considerable losses to the local princes.

 Can it be Date Masamune? After plundering a small town, they were immediately noticed by the Qi army, and were later hunted down by the Qi army's navy.

Date Masamune only had 6,000 troops in his hands, but Zhu Tianpeng personally led 15,000 naval troops to encircle and suppress him, leaving those who chased him with nowhere to go.

After half a month of escaping and hiding, the hidden Japanese pirates were finally found by Zhu Tianpeng, and Date Masamune was forced to launch a counterattack. The result was a disastrous defeat.

Only one thousand of the six thousand army were left, and only a few warships were left. Finally, under the leadership of Date Masamune, they fled back to Japan.

In this campaign to suppress the Japanese invaders, the Qin army and others were passively defensive and counterattacked, but only Qi was the only country to take the initiative to counterattack, and it was still pursuing the Japanese pirates.

After annihilating the Japanese pirates in his country, Zhu Tianpeng led the navy southward to help his ally Zhu Ming and annihilate Takeda Shingen who was wandering in the Xuhuai area.

Takeda Shingen originally had a battle of wits and courage with Zhu Di, and the fight was inseparable. But when he heard that Qi King Zhu Tianpeng was leading more than 10,000 naval troops to encircle and suppress him, he was suddenly frightened.

Takeda Shingen knew that if he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave, so he quickly ordered the remaining four thousand troops to return and fled back to Japan by boat overnight.

Of the 8,000 elite Takeda clan, there were still 4,000 left when they returned. The casualties reached half, but compared with other princes, it was considered good.

Takeda Shingen was followed by Hojo Tsunari. His luck was not as good as Takeda Shingen's. He was ambushed by Chen Qingzhi when he rushed in greedily. Not only was the entire army of 5,000 annihilated, but he also lost his own life. The three Korean peninsulas.

At this point, except for Tokugawa Ieyasu and Akechi Mitsuhide, the Japanese princes who came to plunder the Central Plains have all been defeated. Among them, Moton Mouri and Hojo Tsunari even lost their lives.

The two major princes, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Akechi Mitsuhide, were both in Yangzhou. The total strength of the Japanese pirates in Yangzhong was as high as 17,000. Yangzhou was the state with the largest number of Japanese pirates, so it was naturally the most difficult to suppress them.

 Most of Soochow's troops were in Jiangxia to fight against Liu Xiu, and they did not pay enough attention to the Japanese pirates at the beginning, so the suppression of Japanese pirates was the slowest among all the princes.

Sun Jian sent his two sons, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, to suppress the bandits. Sun Ce was doing relatively well, severely injuring Mitsuhide Akechi several times, but Sun Quan did suffer a direct defeat to Tokugawa Ieyasu, suddenly taking away the advantage Sun Ce had gained. Totally defeated.

 The suppression of Japanese pirates in Wu County and Kuaiji County failed for a long time, and the number of affected people increased, even reaching nearly 300,000 at one time.

Three hundred thousand people affected by the disaster were homeless and had to be resettled as soon as possible, and a lot of money and food had to be spent. This undoubtedly greatly increased the pressure on Soochow, and Sun Jian on the front line was almost unable to withstand it.

At this moment, another major event happened, which became the last straw for Soochow and made Soochow completely disqualified from competing for Jiangxia.
