Chapter 622 The plan
Chapter 622 Plan
But it is obvious that Ashikaga Yoshimasa is very concerned about this plan now.
At the same time, he was very proud. At least one point he believed that using this plan would cause the Ming Dynasty to be hit. Now that the Ming Dynasty is victorious and unstoppable, of course, it is necessary to hit the morale of the Ming Dynasty and save some face. At the same time, it will also hit the morale of the Ming Dynasty well.
But Yamai Shinto knew very well that if he really did this, the Ming army would definitely wait for him, and his more than 100,000 troops would definitely go but never return. Since the generals of the Ming Dynasty could formulate such a detailed combat plan to make him and others believe that they would land in Hachimanhama, how could he not expect that once they landed, his 150,000 troops could cross the sea and directly attack the cities they had occupied? If he didn't even think about this, how could he be the commander of the hundreds of thousands of adults of the Ming Dynasty at a young age?
In order not to let his people sacrifice innocently, Yamashiki Shifeng immediately said: "General, I think this is inappropriate. The more than 100,000 troops in the Ming Dynasty are unknown. Moreover, their navy is large and powerful. My navy Yang has exhausted it. Although we have produced some warships recently, there is no way to compare with the Ming navy during the hasty period. If we encounter them when we cross the sea now, it will be very unfavorable for us!"
During the last Oita Battle, the Kogi Army planned to transport troops to the other side by sea, but was kidnapped by the Ming navy halfway through the way. Not only did the warships suffer heavy losses, but even the transport ships transported by the troops were not good. The troops were greatly damaged. The Ming Dynasty also found the right time and pretended to be Kogi Army and sneaked into Oita's city and attacked from the city.
Now our own troops are already seriously insufficient, and there are problems with self-protection, let alone counterattack. If we encounter the Ming Dynasty fleet again while crossing the sea, the losses will be very heavy.
"Now the Ming Dynasty's navy is concentrated in our sea area. Moreover, after they land, they plan to take down Maguan. In this way, their supplies will be very close, from Kitakyushu to Maguan. Therefore, their fleet should be concentrated in this area now, so if we send troops quietly, it will be difficult for them to notice!"
Yamahoshikawa Katsumoto next to him said at this time that this was obviously a very wrong decision. If the whereabouts of the fleet were grasped by the Ming people, it would be very likely that they would be intercepted at sea, just like last time. However, Hosokawa Katsumoto, who had a private agreement with the Ming Dynasty, certainly hoped to see Yamao Shin-hoshikawa Katsumoto lose more, the better, so that when they lose, they could enter this area with justification.
"What do I think too!"
At this time, Yoshimasaki nodded and said, "In fact, we are not without a chance. As long as our army now takes a full attacking attitude in front of the Ming army, they can only increase their troops, and the 100,000 troops can only be mobilized. In this way, we can avoid being intercepted, or they will log in to us when we log in!"
"Not bad, not bad!"
Hosokawa Katsumoto hurriedly echoed, "In this case, they can only mobilize 100,000 troops, and I think the place we attack should not be in Oita. Such a ship has only a great advantage, so it should be concentrated farther, so I think we should be concentrated at the southern end of Kyushu Island. As far as we know, there are still many troops hiding in the mountains here. As long as they gather them together, it will be a large combat force. Moreover, this place is far away from the Ming army's supply location, and the Ming army is not enough, so we don't have to worry about their reinforcements coming quickly. By the time they arrive, we have occupied most of the towns. With the experience of the last time, it will not be easy for them to take them back this time!"
"It's reasonable!"
Ashikaga Yoshimasa couldn't help but show a hint of joy, turned his head to Yama Nakaki and said, "What do you think?"
Yamana Shifeng was now hating the Hosokawa Katsumoto in front of him. This person's intention was to let his army die. The Ming Dynasty's army was constantly moving forward. This plan was good, but it was only in the early stage. Moreover, the food had been collected now. His own army could only rely on the supply from the rear. Now the food in Kitakyushu should be firmly controlled by the Ming army. If the Ming army landed on Shikoku Island at this time, Shikoku Island, which had no heavy troops to defend, was completely considered an unguarded city for others. Wouldn't it be easy to take it down by others? Then there would be extra supplies to support the soldiers in Kitakyushu?
Looking at Ashikaga Yoshimasato looking at him, Yamana Shitotsu shook his head again and said, "Your Excellency, I don't think it's appropriate."
“Why?”
Ashikaga Yoshimasa's words clearly reveal some displeasure.
However, if you are unhappy, Yama Nakaki Shifeng knew that he had to persist, otherwise he would be over, so he immediately told his reasons. Of course, the most common reason was that his warships were insufficient, and he could not transport more than 100,000 troops at one time.
But he forgot one person, that is, Katsumoto Hosokawa. He was determined to make the Ming Dynasty and Yama Nakaki Tsubasa fight to the death, how could he be willing to let such a good plan go bankrupt? He smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Although the battle with the Ming Dynasty in the past few years caused my navy to lose a lot, I have also built a lot in the past or two years. Now everyone is on the same boat. If you lose, it will not be any good for me, so I can send my navy to help you transport troops."
"Will you be so kind?"
Yama Nakaki Chifeng clearly didn't believe it.
"Why can't it?"
Hosokawa Katsumoto smiled slightly and said, "After all, your enemy is my enemy. Besides, if you transport you 100,000 troops, I will have to dispatch 20,000 troops myself. If you encounter an attack halfway, I will not be beneficial."
Ashikaga Yoshimasa nodded after hearing this and said, "This is good for Hosokawa Daisuke. Now you and I are on the same boat. We only have one enemy, that is, the Ming Dynasty people. Of course, we can't divide each other. This way, we will do as we discuss. On the one hand, concentrate our troops on the front of the Ming Dynasty army and force them to increase their troops. It is best to attract the rest of their 100,000 people. On the other hand, we are preparing to land, and I want to catch them off guard."
After saying that, he said with a hint of indifference: "Now our enemy is in front of us, I hope everyone will be united. This is not the time to divide you and me, do you understand?"
"Yes, General!"
Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamana Shinto said at this time, but Yamana Shinto knew that this was clearly what he said to himself.
After the order was issued, the Komu Army's troops began to gather directly in front of the Ming Dynasty, which was clearly intended to prevent the Ming Dynasty's army from landing.
Under the leadership of Jiang Lang, the Ming army quickly conquered Maguan, and then more than 200,000 people also hoarded it. At this time, it was the eighth day since the Ming army landed.
After Maguan was attacked, the Ming Dynasty's supplies became closer, and the supply that could be transported directly from Kitakyushu was also closer.
In Maguan City, Jiang Lang was patiently listening to the spy's report. First, the Kogi Army began to gather troops in the front, with a large number of people, exceeding 200,000. Second, the Hachimanhamaguchi Mu Army's troops did not have any other moves, as if they were going to be stationed there. Third, the fleet belonging to Hosokawa Katsumoto seemed to have some moves. It suddenly disappeared a few days ago, and its whereabouts were unknown.
After listening to this information, Jiang Lang pondered for a moment, opened the map, and gently tapped the map with his hand, then said: "Tell me my order, Miyazaki, Hinana, Kagoshima and other cities during this period to prevent the enemy's sudden attack! At the same time, he mobilized 100,000 people to these three parties. First, strictly prevent the remaining Guchiki Army on Kirishima Mountain, and second, Guchiki Army that landed on the shore."
As soon as Jiang Lang said this, many people present were surprised. Deng Yuanjue asked, "Want to counterattack?"
Jianglang nodded slightly and said, "I'm just a guess. The Kogi Army hoarded troops in front of us, with the purpose of attracting our remaining 100,000 troops. We will not land in Hachimanhama, but their troops have not moved. At the same time, Hosokawa Katsumoto's navy suddenly disappeared and he should be planning to transport their troops! Moreover, in order to avoid our navy, the remaining Kogi Army on the island at the same time, it is very likely that he will choose to attack these three cities!"
Deng Yuanjue pondered for a moment, then said, "Would the lord mean to destroy them on the sea?"
Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, "No, it's best to destroy them on land and send a fleet to stand by. Once the Komu Army lands, cut off their supplies. I want them to have no supplies!"
