Chapter 362: Pioneer

"Slave slave Hachi, please see the champion!"

When Wang Bing led 100,000 soldiers to Foala, Wei Lao Ying in Jianzhou, Nuer Hachi, leading a group of generals, had already been waiting outside the city for a long time.

"Has the army been prepared?"

After waving Nuerhachi and other Jianzhou Guard generals to stand up, Wang Bing then calmly asked about the preparations of the Jianzhou Army.

"Replying to the Marquis, the Jianzhou Guard's 15,000 troops are at your disposal at any time!"

"Let's put it together, twenty thousand!"

Glancing at Nu'er Hachi in front of the horse, Wang Bing spoke calmly again.

"Master Hou...slave, slave, I obey!"

Nuerhachi, who originally wanted to bargain, saw the 'expectation' in Wang Bing's eyes, but finally reason prevailed and wisely chose to obey the order.

There is no other way. With a hundred thousand truly elite troops pressing down on the territory, his slave Hachi is no longer a hero. No matter how capable he is of fighting, he can only choose to bow his head at this moment.

"I will give you another 10,000 people and order you to be the vanguard and cross the river first to clear the way for the army!"

Seeing that Nuerhachi, a powerful man of the generation who knew the current affairs, chose to bow his head, Wang Bing secretly thought it was a pity, but he immediately gave him the vanguard task of opening the way for the army.

"Slave, obey!"

Although he was very reluctant to go on this expedition, Nuer Hachi, who was under the eaves, had no choice but to bow his head again.

"Li Chengming, Ye Yanggu, each of you will bring five thousand Yulin brothers and Zuowei soldiers and horses to assist Nuerhachi in occupying Dingzhou first, and recruit local people as civilians for transportation purposes!"

As the saying goes, before the army moves, food and grass go first. This battle is actually about logistics.

For this expedition, at Wang Bing's suggestion, the little fat man mobilized 400 ships and 70,000 tons of grain from Tianjin Wei, and headed directly to Dingzhou by sea.

Therefore, while Li Chengming was appointed as the 'supervisor of the army', the important task of operating the logistics base for the entire army also fell on his shoulders.

"I will obey your orders!"

When he heard that he, the usual 'big steward' of the Yulin Guards, had become the first to enter the court, even if it was only in name, Li Chengming couldn't help but stood up with excitement and loudly agreed.



"General Li, let's set off like this? This food and grass?"

When Nuerhachi brought 20,000 Jianzhou troops to join Li Chengming and Ye Yanggu, Nuerhachi couldn't help but look puzzled when he saw that the team did not carry even half a grain of food except for weapons and ammunition.

"Haha, how troublesome is it to bring food by yourself? Are you afraid that you won't be able to find food after crossing the river? Besides, by the time we reach Dingzhou, the court's food ship should have arrived!"

For the Habayashi Guards, providing food to the enemy is the only way to go. Therefore, every time the Habayashi Guards went on an expedition, except for some dried meat and tea they carried with them, there was no precedent for bringing food with them.

This time, although the enemy is no longer the Tatars with their herds of cattle and sheep, Korea is now almost completely occupied by Japanese pirates. Therefore, the principle of feeding the 'enemy' is naturally feasible.

However, what Li Chengming didn't expect was that soon after the 30,000 vanguard troops crossed the Yalu River, he discovered that the idea of ​​relying on the enemy with food seemed a little too good.

There was no way, those Japanese were just like their descendants hundreds of years later. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil wherever they went. Therefore, Li Chengming and others did not find any food supplies along the way.

"General Li, all the villages along the way have been robbed by Japanese pirates, and there is no food left. Let's speed up and go directly to Dingzhou!"

Looking at the ruins of another ruined wall with black smoke still rising in front of him, as well as the fallen corpses, Nuerhachi couldn't help but frown.

"Let's go, then go straight to Dingzhou. After taking Dingzhou, we will clean up the little bastards around us!"

Li Chengming, who originally thought he could 'supply' some supplies with the local people, saw that he could not do so due to Xiao Zhizi's misdeeds, so he had to give up the idea of ​​supplying food to the enemy.



"Your Majesty, the scouts just came to report that the Ming Dynasty has sent troops. Tens of thousands of Ming Army cavalry are coming towards Dingzhou. Should we retreat first and report to the General for help? Please give me your instructions!"

Just when Nuerhachi and Li Chengming led a vanguard of 30,000 mainly Jurchens to attack Dingzhou, not far from Dingzhou, a group of thousands of stick people were escorting them, numbering about 2,000.

The Japanese also received news of the Ming army's attack.

There was no way, with an army of 30,000 and cavalry, the target was too obvious. In addition, Nuerhachi and Li Chengming had never thought of hiding their presence, so it was not unusual for the Japanese to detect them.

"What are you afraid of? The Ming army is decayed and has low combat power. Back then, dozens of ronin could kill thousands of enemies, leaving hundreds of thousands of Ming troops helpless. We have three soldiers and horses, so why not be as good as a group of pirate ronin?

?”

Hearing the attack of tens of thousands of Ming army cavalry, the leader of the Japanese army was not surprised but happy. Instead, he wanted to fight in the wild. This shows how arrogant and arrogant these Japanese soldiers are!

"Rumble, rumble..."

Soon, shortly after these three Japanese troops, totaling more than 2,000 people, had just set up their formation, a thunderous sound of horse hooves came, but Nuerhachi, the vanguard general, led two

Wan Jianzhou's army came over first and killed them.

"Huh? You're so arrogant! E Yidu, kill these bastards for me!"

When he saw more than 2,000 short Japanese pirates setting up a formation, trying to block his own army, slave Hachi, who was already angry, finally found a place to vent his anger.

"Master Beile, those Koreans? Do you want to wait a moment and ask the uncle what he wants first?"

Just when Er Yidu was about to go into battle, he looked at the Korean people in front of the Japanese pirate formation, but He Heli suddenly stopped him and turned to look at Nuer Hachi.

You know, Wang Bing, the champion, is worried that he can't find an excuse to deal with Nuer Hachi. If he is charged with killing innocent people indiscriminately, it will be really hard to defend.

"Well, you are right! Then wait a moment and send someone back to ask what to do with these Koreans."

Being reminded by He Heli, Nuerhachi also reacted instantly. The people opposite were not all Japanese pirates, but there were thousands of Korean people.

"How about it? I am right, am I right? Although these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are so arrogant, they are basically a bunch of eggless people, hahahaha!"

Just when Nuerhachi sent someone to ask for instructions from Li Chengming in the rear team, the leader of the Japanese army in the Japanese army formation a mile away was pointing at Nuerhachi.

He said, laughing with an arrogant look on his face.

"Damn you little boy, I'm going to cut you alive in a moment!"
