Liu Mingqi is right.
Toyokawa is really lucky to be able to stand out from the crowd of Japanese heroes. He is really a hero.
One of the basic characteristics of a hero is to make a decision without hesitation when it¡¯s time to give up, and to give up all illusions.
When Toyokawa Mahyuki received the news of the failure of the attack on the Northern Navy fleet, he found that he had lost contact with Ikeno Nobutsuna for a day.
Toyokawa Mayuki is very clear about Ikeno Nobutsuna¡¯s character and abilities.
He originally knew that the Dakang army was besieging the city and preparing to attack Wencheng City in the past few days. Under such circumstances, Chiye Nobutsuna should have contacted him anyway, instead of not having any news.
?According to normal circumstances, Ikeno Nobutsuna would send flying pigeon messages to Toyokawa Masuki at least three or four times a day.
Encountering the recent emergency of the war situation and being trapped in a tight siege, although Ikeno Nobutsuna did not panic, he also increased the frequency of contact.
But now twelve hours have passed, and Toyokawa Makoto has not received even a letter from the flying pigeon. There are only two reasons.
The first one is that all homing pigeons were killed by birds of prey.
The second one is that there was an accident with Ikeno Nobutsuna, so he didn¡¯t even send a letter.
Toyokawa Makoto was not so naive. He directly judged that a huge accident had occurred on Ikeno Nobutsuna's side, and it was very likely that the entire army was wiped out.
Thinking of the fact that his navy had been severely damaged due to the betrayal of pirates, Toyokawa Mayuki immediately asked Hidenari Takeda to lead a meeting.
After discussing for an hour, everyone decided to retreat immediately.
? ?The harvest this time has been enough.
Previously, in order to ensure that the Northern Navy of Dakang sent Liu Mingjing and other five thousand Yulin Guards to Pi Island, almost the entire army was dispatched, which had no deterrent effect on the Japanese side at all.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Toyokawa Mayuki also transported more than 10,000 of his wounded soldiers, plus more than 300 ships of treasure and supplies back to Japan.
The entire transportation operation lasted for more than twenty days, and most of the treasures and materials they looted from Jiangsu were sent back to the country, so that they had a guaranteed income.
?According to Takeda Hidesunari¡¯s calculations, this wealth is equivalent to the income of the Japanese shogunate for fifty years.
Even if all the 400,000 people in the expeditionary force died, they would still be able to regain their strength in two or three years with a large sum of money after returning, and it would still be enough for the shogunate to support a million-strong army for more than twenty years!
Of course, they will not recruit so many sergeants, so when the money is divided and part of it is distributed, all the daimyo and generals will be extremely happy and heartily support the leadership of the general.
Secondly, enough troops have been lost now.
The 300,000 expeditionary force landed in Jiangsu.
The 100,000-strong private army of various local lords is a miscellaneous force. It is used to attract the attention of the Dakang army. It does not matter how many casualties there are.
But everyone didn¡¯t expect that they would be killed by Miao Yan¡¯s 15,000 soldiers. More than 50,000 people died in more than half a month, and the rest were so frightened that they fled to the North and South Expeditionary Forces.
Apart from them, the 200,000 expeditionary force is the real main force of the shogunate.
On the North Road Expeditionary Force, they fought back and forth with Dakang's Cavalry Guards and the local army, and lost twenty to thirty thousand men, but their strength was not damaged.
The strongest 100,000 expeditionary force led by Toyokawa Makoto on the south road was a bit miserable.
First, during the trial attack and defense with Wanyan Yi's Tiger Guards, they lost about 10,000 people.
Then Toyokawa Maiko wanted to let Xiaolin Gongbao capture Yangzhou City. On the one hand, he could gain more wealth and shock more Dakang troops. On the other hand, he also wanted to surround Wanyanyi's Tiger Guards from the east and west. Let's see. Is there any chance to double-team him and kill him?
As long as the Hu Ben Guards can be annihilated, then the Jiangnan region dare not say that they can burn, kill and loot as they please, but absolutely no one can stop their army.
In the end, Toyokawa Makoto did not expect that Kobayashi Gongbao could have captured Yangzhou City. However, Miao Yan descended from the sky at the most critical moment and together with the Yangzhou defenders, almost completely wiped out Kobayashi Gongbao's army.
¡°In one fell swoop, they lost more than 30,000 people.
Calculated in this way, even if the 30,000 daimyo private soldiers who defected were added, Toyokawa Makoto only had 80,000 troops left.
An army of this size is not afraid of the coalition forces used to deal with Wanyanyi and Miao Yan. Toyokawa is really lucky to have the confidence to spend a little more time to defeat them.
But the problem is that if Ikeno Nobutsuna¡¯s entire army is wiped out, then the 200,000 troops from southern Zhejiang will come all the way.
When the time comes, the Dakang Army willOnly those garrison and civilian protection forces of ? have enough courage to fight against the possible emergence of 80,000 elite Japanese pirates.
Of course, Hangzhou is not far from Suzhou, and when the Japanese pirates invaded Taizhou before, Liu Renhuai was on guard against them raiding Suzhou.
So he equipped Suzhou with tens of thousands of wooden-handled grenades and half a million bottles of hell cocktails.
After receiving the news that Toyokawa Makoto was running madly towards Songjiang Prefecture, Liu Renhuai used the fastest speed to send 20,000 stored wooden handle grenades to Suzhou, as well as millions of kilograms of oil, so that they could Go make your own hell cocktail.
In addition, Liu Renhuai himself led the 50,000 troops stationed in Hangzhou and advanced directly to Jiaxing. Jiaxing and Huzhou were completely relieved.
There are a large number of reinforcements outside and enough defensive materials inside, so Suzhou Mansion is not so afraid.
But Yu Qiao was still worried, and the more than thirty letters sent by flying pigeons every day never stopped.
Miao Yan was as calm and taciturn as ever.
He only replied to Yu Qiao on the first day, "Defend with all your strength, I have traveled all day and night", and did not reply to the rest.
Poor Yu Qiao, faced with the earnest expectations of the people all over Suzhou, could only use this letter every day to make up the illusion that Miao Yan kept replying.
¡¡
The garrison of Songjiang Prefecture has 10,000 people. It is not the most elite force, but it is still a powerful force.
¡°It¡¯s just that their usual defenses are against attacks from overseas.
For the attack from the west and inland direction, there was no plan at all.
Songjiang Prefecture cannot be blamed for this, just like the best defense in the Gyeonggi region is in the three directions of east, west, north and west, and it does not care about the inevitable two lakes area.
Whoever can attack from the Lianghu area basically means that Dakang is almost doomed, so what¡¯s the point of struggling?
The same is true for Songjiang Mansion.
The enemy has occupied most of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. What is the use of our mere Songjiang Prefecture resisting?
It¡¯s just a waste of materials, money and food.
But who knew that now they would encounter a strange thing - a Japanese pirate who was running away like crazy.
Fortunately, Songjiang Prefecture still has a lot of corresponding defense materials. Liu Renhuai also attaches great importance to this large port trading city and prepared 5,000 wooden handle grenades for them early.
Now it was judged that the Japanese pirates' escape target was the port of Songjiang Prefecture, and the Governor of Jiangnan used the fastest speed to transport them 15,000 wooden-handled grenades.
It¡¯s really difficult to say Liu Renhuai.
Wooden handle grenades have always been scarce. During the most difficult and stressful times, he had to distribute hundreds of grenades to a town every day, which was not available in every town.
¡° Nowadays, even if the apprentices of Prince De¡¯s Mansion are full of seeds and can produce up to 4,000 pieces a day, it is still not enough.
With great difficulty, Liu Renhuaicai prepared 40,000 wooden-handled grenades for the coalition forces of Jia Xiaode and Su Feng fighting in southern Zhejiang, and planned to give them to them when they passed by Hangzhou.
As a result, the Japanese pirates are now heading towards the south of Jiangsu desperately. He can only give Suzhou Prefecture 20,000 coins and Songjiang Prefecture 15,000 coins. The remaining Jiaxing and Huzhou can only receive 2,500 coins each.
If these two cities are attacked, they will be used up in half a day.
For this reason, Liu Renhuai could only temporarily settle in Jiaxing by himself. After the new wooden-handled grenade came out and Wanyanyi's Tiger Guards caught up, he immediately went to Songjiang Mansion in the northeast to kill the Japanese pirates from both sides.
Therefore, the key to this battle is whether the 10,000 defenders in Songjiang Fucheng can hold on to this traffic pass and snipe the Japanese pirates until the army arrives.
At this time, all the civilians and merchants in Songjiang Prefecture had retreated, leaving only the defenders, which seemed innocent.
But anyone with any sense understands that relying on ten thousand of them to defend the city and stop eighty thousand of the most elite Japanese pirates is simply a daydream.
It¡¯s just to let them postpone the time.
"Why didn't Liu Renhuai directly lead his troops to Songjiang Prefecture?
the reason is simple.
¡°If he settled in Songjiang Prefecture, what if the Japanese pirates did not invade Songjiang Prefecture, but killed them directly between Songjiang Prefecture and Suzhou, massacred Jiaxing, and attacked Hangzhou directly?
Hangzhou is much more important than Songjiang Prefecture!
That is the most prosperous town in the world, and it is the symbol of Dakang in the south of the Yangtze River!
If Hangzhou is captured, massacred, burned, killed, looted, the whole world will be shaken and uneasy.
The key is that Hangzhou also has a large port!
After the Japanese destroyed the city of Hangzhou, it was the same when they left Hangzhou by boat.
Therefore, Liu Renhuai did not dare to reveal the Jiaxing passage, and he had to be just in case.
To put it another way, it would be much better for the Japanese pirates to open a passage and leave through Songjiang Prefecture than to capture Hangzhou Prefecture!
This is also a last resort choice. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??A large port!
