The troops set off slowly, firmly and cautiously towards Shuitou.
Shuitou is a small county area with only 100,000 people, and the county town only has 20,000 to 30,000 people.
This is located in the southeast corner of Wencheng. If you station here, you will not only have a city to rely on, but also Qingtian directly above Wencheng to attack Ikeno Nobutsuna's army.
Jia Xiaode knows very well the importance of military strength and speed.
Therefore, after meeting up with Liu Mingqi, he continued walking without stopping.
Of course, he did not forget to be vigilant.
The dispatched scouts have been spread out twenty miles away. If anything happens, they will immediately send out fireworks to warn.
The scouts are all veterans who have followed Jia Xiaode for many years. They are very alert and will not miss anything.
This is not a grassland, the Japanese don¡¯t have many cavalry, ships are not allowed to transport horses, and they can¡¯t find many horses in Fujian and Zhejiang.
So even if they come to make a surprise attack, they only need one pair of legs.
How long does it take to walk twenty miles with one pair of legs?
So this is enough for Jia Xiaode to prepare.
Otherwise, he would not dare to march all the way.
With the addition of Liu Mingqi, or to be precise, with 5,000 wooden-handled grenades and more than 30,000 bottles of hell cocktails, Jia Xiaode has greater confidence in forming a stronghold for defense.
At this time, he hoped to encounter Japanese people who would take the initiative to attack.
In this way, in defensive operations, one's own side will definitely take advantage.
Liu Mingqi had his own considerations when he joined Jia Xiaode's team.
If the Japanese attack towns in Zhejiang all the way north, then Liu Mingqi's special team will be useful.
Having widened the distance between time and space, the special team was completely at home, defeating them one by one.
But now that Ikeno Nobutsuna has put together more than 60,000 people and become a hedgehog, then a special team of more than 200 people will be completely seeking death if they attack the enemy's formation.
But if it is integrated into Jia Xiaode's army, when the two of them are fighting, the special team will be useful as a cavalry.
Important use.
night.
In the tent, a group of them and Gong Yuan were having a meeting together.
While Liu Mingjing was looking at the march map, he enthusiastically oiled and maintained his long knife.
This method was not taught by Liu Mingqi, nor did it come from the army. The army did not have such leisure.
The maintenance method comes from the imperial palace. For the emperor¡¯s inner treasury, there are naturally some methods.
Gong Yuan stood in front of the map, frowned and said, "Your Highness, if they stay in Wencheng City and don't come out, are we still going to attack the city?"
"There are two situations." Liu Mingqi said: "The first is that he wants to attract our attention for Toyokawa Maiko, then he will definitely stick to it. The second is that he will definitely come out and kill towards Wenzhou, trying to Escape by water."
"Then they are the first type now?" Gong Yuan said.
"Not necessarily. After all, they suffered a lot before. Maybe they need to rest for a while." Liu Mingqi shook his head.
"Don't worry about him, we will find out after we kill him." Liu Mingjing's eyes were shining, "Mingqi, do we have a chance to use the decapitation tactic you mentioned before?"
The decapitation tactic is the one commonly used in modern times.
In the electronic age, the name was changed to "targeted eradication".
It is useful even in modern times, let alone ancient times.
The commander is the soul of the soldier.
Once the coach is killed, the army will most likely collapse.
This is the meaning of the beheading tactic.
In history, it was Li Er who mastered beheading tactics.
His Xuanjia Army only has 2,000 people, but it always defeats the enemy ten times, twenty times, or even more.
In fact, Li Er¡¯s tactics are very simple.
When the two armies started to fight, his Xuanjia army hid behind first.
When the battle came close, the Xuanjia Army suddenly rushed out from the middle. With its strong maneuverability and lethality, it directly penetrated the enemy's formation and killed the enemy's commander along the way.
Even if the commander cannot be killed on the spot, the commander will be forced to flee in all directions. In this way, the enemy's morale will be hit to the lowest point and they will naturally collapse.
So many princes in the Central Plains were basically killed by him in this way.
Liu Mingqi followedMagic weapon, Ikeno Nobutsuna may have captured Lishui at this time, and he will not lose so many manpower, and the situation is much better than now.
But, if you encounter it, you will encounter it.
Ikeno Nobutsuna has long been accustomed to the huge casualties caused by wooden handle grenades and hell cocktails. At the same time, when they attacked the two cities of Qingyuan and Cangnan, they also seized some wooden handle grenades and hell cocktails, and tortured them to extract confessions. Only then did I know the true appearance and usage of the two demonic weapons.
He also knows these two things, especially the powerful wooden handle grenades, which are not many people in Dakang.
Otherwise, they would keep bombing with wooden-handled grenades. No matter how powerful the Japanese army was, they would only run away without their armor.
Ikeno Nobutsuna had several wooden-handled grenades disassembled. He still understood the general structure of the wooden-handled grenades, and also knew that the most important things inside were black powder and the yellow powder.
Ask the people in Dakang, they don¡¯t know what the yellow powder is, but the black powder must be gunpowder.
Black powder is available everywhere, including Japan, but the power of the explosion is not very high.
Ikeno Nobutsuna had people deploy black powder and wanted to imitate a wooden-handled grenade. The result was that not only was the power so weak that it couldn't even explode the iron sheet, he couldn't even make a delayed fuse.
When someone pulls the fuse, it explodes three or four seconds after being thrown out, and its power spreads several feet around.
The counterfeit one exploded in my hand, but because the power was too small, apart from a little burn, nothing happened!
Such a huge contrast made Ikeno Nobutsuna so angry that he almost chopped up the soldiers who were once exquisite craftsmen on the spot.
But he also knew that if he succeeded now, it would be unreal.
"You ordinary people can make something that a saint who knows it from birth has worked hard to make casually. Isn't that insulting the saint?"
After continuous experiments and disassembly of several pieces, Ikeno Nobutsuna no longer dared to try randomly. He planned to take it back to Japan and let Japanese experts study it slowly.
In comparison, the hell cocktail is simpler, but the raw materials are still relatively rare. It is made with ordinary people's kerosene, and it seems that it is not as powerful as "gasoline" with this quality.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Ikeno Nobutsuna said: "We also made a hell cocktail, which can be used to defend the city, and also let their people taste the weapons made by their genius prince."
The generals and staff were originally in panic, but upon hearing such a change of topic, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened again.
"right!"
One of the generals said fiercely: "Let them have a taste of hell's cocktail! It's best if His Royal Highness Prince De comes with us, I'm going to burn him to death!"
It is definitely impossible to burn King De to death.
Unless there is a switch between offense and defense.
So a group of colleagues thought he was self-satisfied.
Ikeno Nobutsuna ignored it, "But it is said that they have a lot of hell cocktails. Most of the buildings in the city are made of wood. You try to break up the houses as much as possible to prevent them from throwing a lot of hell cocktails in. Once it catches fire, it will burn." If it spreads to the whole city and burns us alive, that would be called bad luck."
"yes!"
A group of subordinates looked solemn.
This is a very necessary measure.
There is an attack outside the city. If the city is set on fire, it will burn like a furnace. How can we defend it?
Lord Chiye is indeed one of the three divine generals!
He seemed so calm and thought so carefully.
With him guarding this city, what do we have to fear? ?
