Chapter 863 The scumbag Kuroda Nagamasa
Upon hearing this, Li Rusong nodded with a serious face and said, "Don't worry, Father, I understand."
Li Rusong pays more attention to this matter than Li Chengliang. Because when he was studying in the capital, he met many capable people at the Royal General Academy. Those people may not have family backgrounds as good as him, but their abilities are very strong. Many people have very deep insights into using firearms to fight wars.
Once those people show their strengths in the army, they will inevitably be reused soon. Even though they have a father as their backer, they may not be able to do anything. After all, strength is the most important thing in the army.
In war, food is original sin.
For a general, it is most important to win a battle. As long as there is a battle, their promotion will be very fast.
As for whether there will be a war in the Ming Dynasty, Li Rusong knew very well that this battle will probably not be missing from now on.
Such strong military equipment is wasted if you don’t go out to fight.
Japan is not the end, but the beginning.
The father and son chatted for a while again, and Li Rusong waited for his father to rest.
My father has been marching all day and needs a good rest when he is old.
Meanwhile, Joseon King, Seoul.
Kuroda Nagamasa walked around the room with a very ugly expression.
Since the attack on North Korea, everything has been going very smoothly, he is in a very good mood, and the Third Legion led by full of confidence has also achieved a lot of military achievements.
At the beginning of the war, Kuroda Nagamasa summoned 5,000 military service personnel, led the third team as the main general, and attacked from another approach with Governor Konishi of the first team and Kiyoshi Kato of the second team and became the pioneers.
After landing in Busan, attacked Jinhai, Changyuan, Lingshan, Changning, Yanfeng, Maoxijin, Xingzhou, Jinshan, Qiufengling, Yongtong, Wenyi, Qingzhou, and Zhushan, and arrived in Seoul on May 7.
After obtaining Seoul, Kuroda Nagamasa was ordered to garrison here. The First and Second Corps continued to advance and soon occupied Pyongyang. The army was unstoppable, and the battle situation was very beneficial to Japan.
Kuroda Nagamasa originally thought he would soon be able to capture the King of Korea and successfully occupy the entire North Korea. At that time, he would lead his army to attack the Ming Dynasty and establish a huge empire.
But who would have thought that the battle situation suddenly took a sharp turn. After the Ming Dynasty joined the war, things were beyond their expectations. Before our side could react, the battle situation had collapsed to the point where it was uncontrollable.
First of all, in Jiangsha, the people on his side were annihilated, and then the Pyongyang City of Governor Xiaoxi was captured, everyone was destroyed, and Governor Xiaoxi was captured.
Secondly, Kato Kiyomasa's Second Legion was wiped out in Hamkyung Domain, and Kato Kiyomasa was captured.
Although the Ming army has stopped in Pyongyang and has not moved, its actions have not stopped these days. People are being arrested everywhere and their scouts are everywhere. They will call us soon.
Mingjun is accumulating strength and preparing for the next round of attack. When the next round starts, it will definitely be an attack like a tsunami.
Although my request for help has been sent back to Japan and some reinforcements have been brought one after another, it is not enough.
At this time, footsteps sounded outside.
Kuroda Nagamasa looked over with bright eyes.
I saw a tall man walking in from outside, wearing a full body and a long knife around his waist.
The man walked in and said with a respectful expression: "Head of the family."
Kuroda Nagamasa nodded and asked quickly: "Is there any news?"
"I have it," the visitor nodded directly and said, "We have found out about the Ming army. The head of the family's previous guess is correct. The Ming army is indeed accumulating strength, and their later reinforcements have arrived."
"Our people also saw with their own eyes that a lot of supplies were transported into Pyongyang City. Although we could not get close to inquire, we had roughly judging that there were about 100,000 people from the Ming army this time. If nothing unexpected happens, the total force of the Ming army entering North Korea is almost 200,000."
"Isn't it a claim?" Kuroda Nagamasa asked with a frown.
"No," the other party shook his head and said, "It's not a claim, but an actual number. Moreover, the Ming army is very well-equipped, and they even have heavy cavalry. In addition, their firearms are also very well-equipped."
"According to the information found, they used a large number of artillery when attacking Pyongyang City. At that time, the ground under the city was shocked. After the city wall was knocked down, the Ming army rushed up like a wolf and tiger. They actually blocked all four doors. Our people couldn't rush out. They had sent people to rush out, but were beaten back."
Upon hearing this, Kuroda Nagamasa's face became very ugly.
The losses this time were really serious. There were a total of ten corpses entering North Korea in the first wave, and there were ten corpses in the future.
However, the subsequent ten corpses were prepared to invade the Ming Dynasty, and even if they were transferred from the country, they would not be able to support them for the time being.
Judging from the Ming army's posture, they would soon pounce on it.
Kuroda Nagamasa would not think that the person in front of him would deceive him. As one of his eight generals of Kuroda, he is a reliable retainer.
"Come everyone, I want to make a combat plan." Kuroda Nagamasa's face turned a little dark.
In fact, Kuroda Nagamasa had no good idea, just to ask someone to discuss it first.
Now I have only so many people, and the number of people in Seoul is not as large as that in Pyongyang City.
Should I guard or divide the troops in Seoul?
For a moment, Kuroda Nagamasa had no idea, so he was going to ask someone to discuss it.
Soon, all of his subordinates came.
In addition to his confidant Kuroda's Eight Generals, other generals stationed in Seoul have also arrived.
Among them, Takahara Soshima is also there.
Kuroda Nagamasa had high hopes for him. After all, among all, he was the best person to play with firearms, and he also had a team of Daoji.
The Ming army relied on these firearms this time, and this time it might also rely on Tachibana Somashita.
Tatehua Soshima was seen as if he was feeling pins and needles by Kuroda Nagamasa. He did know a lot about firearms, and it was precisely because of this understanding that he was afraid enough in his heart.
The Ming army's firearms are definitely not comparable to those of us. If Kuroda pulls himself up, he is likely to follow the footsteps of Governor Konishi, and it may not even be treated by someone. Maybe he will be killed directly by the Ming army.
After sitting down, Takaha Somamasa lowered his head and said nothing, as if he did not exist.
But this kind of thing is impossible, everyone stares at him.
Now everyone hopes that Tachiha Somashita can come up with an idea to overturn the current situation, and even to directly defeat the Ming people with their own people, and turn defeat into victory.
