Just when Wang Bing used Li Hao, the king of the Bangzi Kingdom, as an example, this country, which often prides itself on its three thousand miles of beautiful mountains and rivers, finally managed to gain the understanding of Ming Dynasty after many efforts.

I was completely relaxed.

But little did they know that just as the country was relaxing from top to bottom, the Japanese country, separated by a sea, had completed the final preparations before dispatching troops.

In March of the 20th year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty and the first year of the Japanese kingdom, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the "monkey", mobilized a total of more than 300,000 troops in the Japanese kingdom.

In addition to the logistics personnel who built roads and transported supplies, the number reached almost more than two million people. It can be said that at this time, in the Japanese country, except the old and the weak, all the young and strong were serving the upcoming war.

Among the more than 300,000 troops, there were a total of 158,700 troops as the first batch of landing troops, with Ukita Hideie as the commander-in-chief.

However, out of concerns about the 150,000 troops being commanded by one man, these hundreds of thousands were divided into nine legions by the 'monkeys'.

And these nine legions are basically commanded by a daimyo. Each legion has different numbers and has independent command and action rights.

Then among these nine armies, the first army, Konishi Yukinacho, the second army, Kato Kiyomasa, and the third army, Kuroda Nagamasa, served as the landing vanguard, with a total of 52,000 people, preparing to seize the next country first!

In addition, the Fourth Army Shimazu Yoshihiro, the Fifth Army Fukushima Masanori, and the Sixth Army Takakage Kobayakawa led a total of 54,500 operations as the second echelon.

The 7th, 8th, and 9th armies were led by Terumoto Mori, commander-in-chief Hideie Ukita, and Hidekatsu Hashiba, with a total of 52,000 people as the third echelon to land in Bangzi Country.

Since it was a cross-sea battle, "Monkey" Toyotomi Hideyoshi also specially arranged for Kuuki Yoshitaka to lead a navy of 8,750 people and 700 ships of various types for transporting soldiers and naval battles.

In addition, as a supplementary source of troops, under the order of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Maeda Toshiie, Uesugi Kagekatsu, Kamaojigo, and Date Masamune also gathered their troops, a total of 105,000 people, in

Natoya was appointed as a reserve team, ready to land at any time for support.

In terms of strategy, "Monkey" adopted Tokugawa Ieyasu's strategy of "advance by land and sea, use the strong to bully the weak, and win a quick victory." The navy used the navy to ensure the supply of materials for the army, and the army divided into three routes to advance simultaneously.

But what Monkey and Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't know was that their strategy had been anticipated by Xu Yihou, and was sent back along with the report that Zhu Junwang risked his life to bring back.

Daming.

…

"Soldiers, I originally wanted North Korea to cooperate with me in conquering the Ming Dynasty. But Li Huo didn't know what to do and dared to refuse! In this case, I wanted to capture North Korea first, use it as a base, and then conquer

Daming!"

"Those of you soldiers who are dissatisfied because you were forced to participate in the war, just need to remember Hontaiko's words, 'War is an opportunity,' and you will be filled with infinite courage and strength!"

On April 12, the 20th year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty, in the Japanese country, Nagoya Castle, Toyoda Hideyoshi, who was short and thin and wearing a gorgeous battle armor, was making an impassioned final pre-battle speech to a group of Japanese soldiers who were about to go on an expedition.

mobilization.

"Soldiers, after this battle, our names will forever go down in history, and our glory will always be remembered by future generations!"

Finally, after issuing a demagogic pre-war mobilization, the short and skinny "monkey" swung down the extremely gorgeous military fan in his hand, and the Japanese invasion of Korea was officially launched.

Soon, on April 12, the 18,000-strong First Army led by Governor Konishi arrived at Tsushima Island between North Korea and Japan to stand by.

On April 13, the day after arriving at Tsushima Island, the order for the departure of the Ninth Army was delivered. Then, Commander Konishi immediately led the army to set off and rushed towards Busan Castle, the southern gate of Korea.

!

Just when Governor Konishi led the First Army to attack Busan with great momentum, the guardian of Busan, an important gateway, Zheng Bo, was hunting all night, and did not realize that the Japanese were coming in large numbers.

"Hey, what is that? Is it a merchant ship sent by Zong Yizhi?"

In the early morning of April 14th, Zheng Bo, who had just returned to the harbor after hunting all night, suddenly discovered a large number of strange ships floating on the sea.

However, at this time, Zheng Bo still did not realize that this was a Japanese warship, and thought it was a merchant ship sent by Zong Yizhi of Tsushima Island.

There is no way, the trade exchanges between North Korea and Tsushima Island are too ordinary.

"Sir, are there too many merchant ships? Where did Zong Yizhi get the financial resources to build so many merchant ships?"

Just when Zheng Bo thought it was a merchant ship sent by Zong Yizhi, an unintentional remark by a follower suddenly woke up Zheng Bo, who was a little confused due to hunting all night.

"No, those are Japanese pirates! Go back to the city and prepare for defense!"

After Zheng Bo woke up, he made an extremely 'correct' decision as soon as possible, abandoning the sea area and returning to the city to wait for help!

However, Zheng Bo still overestimated himself, and at the same time underestimated his opponent, Yukinagako Konishi!

Just when Zheng Bo gave up the sea and returned to the city, Governor Konishi, who originally thought there was going to be a difficult landing battle for the beach, could not help but be overjoyed at this time. He hurriedly ordered the warship to speed up and headed towards the Busan Port in a mighty manner.

.

…

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"

As the ornate military fan in Konishi Governor's hand was heavily stained, the Japanese troops, who quickly abandoned the ship and landed without any resistance, launched a ferocious attack on Busan Castle.

"Bah, bah, bah..."

Soon, when the Japanese army rushed to a distance of about thirty steps from the city, a crisp sound of gunfire sounded like fried beans. The Japanese army, equipped with a large number of fireguns, fiercely fired each one.

Hot projectiles poured towards the stick defenders at the top of the city.

"ah……"

In an instant, wailing sounds suddenly sounded on the top of Busan City.

"Archers shoot, shoot these little bastards to death!"

Seeing the Japanese army's muskets firing first, on top of the city, guard Zheng Bo quickly ordered the archers to fight back.

All of a sudden, projectiles and bows and arrows from firecrackers above and below the city began to fly everywhere.

Relying on the advantage of the city wall, the Bangzi Army, which had maintained peace for more than two hundred years, was suddenly on a par with the Japanese army, and both sides suffered casualties.

However, this good situation did not last long. Less than an hour later, something embarrassing happened to the Stick Army. They ran out of arrows.

Yes, Busan City, the most important southern gate of Bangzi Kingdom, has no arrows at this moment.

You know, in this battle to defend the city, the most important thing is the power of bows and arrows. If there are no arrows, how can we defend? Rely on rolling wood and beating stones? If there are not enough sticks for the arrows, where can they come from?

Therefore, as expected, in less than two hours, Busan Castle, the most important southern gate of the Bangja Kingdom, fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

With the fall of Busan Castle, it means that North Korea has opened its door to the Japanese army, and the Japanese army can continuously enter the peninsula from here!

"Damn it, these sticks are really useless. I haven't been able to hold on for a long time! Fortunately, we were prepared, otherwise we would be buried by these sticks right now!"

Just when the South Gate of Busan City had just been breached, several people wearing stick costumes but speaking with a standard Ming Dynasty accent quickly fell from the wall of the North City of Busan and rushed towards a hidden place.
Chapter completed!
