Chapter 630 Ambush 1
Jianglang naturally knew how to do it. At this time, how could it be possible to follow the requirements of Hosokawa Katsumoto? The power of Yama Nakaki Feng would be disintegrated, but if you want to retreat by yourself, there is no possibility at all.
The so-called agreement is nothing more than a piece of paper.
Hosokawa Katsumoto's current purpose is obviously very clear. Yamana Shintomoto was already forced to go to the fore. As long as the Ming army was working harder, it would not be a problem to capture the entire territory of Yamana Shintomoto's territory. Hosokawa Katsumoto probably wants to take advantage of it now.
Hosokawa Katsumoto's request was at least not intended to listen to the situation. Now the Ming army is in full swing. Even if it is necessary to negotiate, it will naturally have a better bottom line for negotiation.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's attack still did not stop, but Jianglang would not be blinded by the victory in front of him. They would advance gradually, while maintaining the progress of supply of food and ammunition. In this case, they would ensure that the enemy ambushed would not be cut off from the supply route.
On the other hand, the Kogishi army on Kyushu Island are now working hard to approach Kirishima Mountain, intending to join the Kogishi army that entered the mountain. After all, they are just an isolated army now, and there are serious shortages of food and grass. For the Kogishi army, this is completely a disaster. Since the Ming Dynasty completely adopted the policy adopted when Rukoumu invaded China on Kyushu Island. Although they did not kill them all, there were not many people who dared to stay in Kitakyushu. Moreover, once the Ming Dynasty occupied the city, it immediately sent troops to harvest all the food that could be harvested into the city. Therefore, the more than 70,000 Kogishi soldiers who barely landed can't find anything to eat at all. Not many of them. Although they can't starve to death, it's not easy to eat. However, the only thing that makes them feel relieved is that they have not discovered the Ming army yet. If they can reunite with friendly forces in the mountain, they may have a fight.
Of course, they were looking forward to reinforcements, but they didn't know whether there were reinforcements or not, and they couldn't figure it out. They entered the territory controlled by the Ming army. With the sea, they were not much different from deaf people now.
Of course, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty army to not have any reaction. Tang Qihan and his 100,000 troops were waiting for them. After capturing a spy, they learned the route of their operations, so they led the army hundreds of miles away from them. Of course, because the fleet had ambushed the landing fleet of the Komu Army once, if the Ming army had no reaction, there would be no way to believe it. So there were 30,000 soldiers chasing after the Komu Army after a hundred miles. Although there were only 30,000, this was also a considerable pressure for the Komu Army. Another point was that they did not dare to stop and ambush the 30,000 Ming army, because this might provoke more Ming troops to come, which was very unfavorable for them who were short of food.
Now the Komu Army is afraid of alarming the snake, so this spy dare not send too many. At the same time, they are hiding out at night to avoid being discovered by the Ming army as much as possible. However, the route of more than 70,000 troops is very easy to find, so now they can only hope to get rid of the Ming army that was tracking after entering the vast Kirishima Mountain.
In this way, under the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty, the Komu Army's army fled to Kirishimayama, while the 30,000 soldiers behind the Ming Dynasty were pursuing. Of course, in order to cooperate with the performance, the Ming soldiers slowly pulled a long distance with them, which gave the Komu Army an illusion that they had already thrown away the Komu Army pursuing behind them.
Of course, they did not know that around them, the spies of the Ming Dynasty were watching their every move. On the other hand, the army led by Tang Qihan was advancing with them not far away.
After several days like this, the Kogi Army had already entered the mountains of Kirishima Mountain. At most another day, they could fully enter the mountains. Even with as many as other large armies, it was very difficult to track them. Just like when the Red Army entered the Dabie Mountains, the enemy had no choice.
Tang Qihan is also a veteran, and has experienced many big and small battles. Of course, he understands the key issues and has always maintained a balance with the Komu Army, so that he can set up an ambush in front of them after knowing their way forward. On the other hand, the closer they get to the destination, the Komu Army will become more relaxed. Of course, when they launch an attack at this time, they are the easiest to collapse. The feeling of being defeated without mercy is very uncomfortable, and the easiest to collapse.
Moreover, when you get close to the mountains, you can determine the route of the Komu Army. At the same time, the most important point is that the terrain here is dangerous and densely packed with jungles, which is very suitable for ambush wars.
More than 100,000 troops set up ambush on the route of the Komu Army. Since it was a pursuit and marching, there was no way to carry this heavy weapon, but the cavalry had nearly 10,000, which could make up for the lack of firepower. Moreover, the Komu Army landed basically just ordinary infantry, and their war horses could not adapt to sea transportation. After all, the development of the Ming army was targeted!
At the same time, it was equipped with more than 5,000 rifles. According to the current configuration of the Ming Dynasty, when attacking the Koumu Army, five thousand rifles were installed out of 100,000 people, and nearly 20,000 archers and crossbowmen. The rest were infantry and cavalry. The artillery did not belong to the organization and was independent, but was just obeying the command.
After the ambush was completed, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty quietly waited for Kou Mujun to fall into the trap.
The forest is very quiet now, and the birds seemed to feel the murderous aura of the Ming army, so they all left their nests and did not dare to fall in the jungle.
In an ambush battle, of course, the power of long-range firepower must be exerted. So at the front, there are rifle teams and crossbowmen, with infantry behind them, and cavalry on another hillside. Once the Komu army enters the ambush circle, the first ones to fire are crossbowmen and rifles. At this time, the Komu army either counterattacks or escapes. If they counterattack, the infantry lying behind the crossbowmen and rifles team will come forward to fight, and then the Ming cavalry will attack from behind. If they escape, they will take the lead.
The ones who attacked were the cavalry. Considering that he had more than 30,000 more troops than the Komu Army, Tang Qihan also learned from Jiang Lang that time, and ambushed more than 15,000 people in the way of advance and retreat of Komu Army. No matter whether the Komu Army retreated or advanced, there must be not many people who could break through the main ambush circle. Ten thousand people were enough to deal with them. At that time, the Komu Army was already like a frightened flock. A little movement could make them frightened, without any intention of fighting.
Now the Ming Dynasty is waiting quietly, and the spies come to report that the Komu Army is more than fifty miles away from them.
Tang Qihan looked at the foot of the mountain and complained: "These bastards are running too slowly, why haven't they come yet?"
A general next to him couldn't help but smile: "General, the Komu Army is still more than fifty miles away from us now. According to their itinerary, it will take several hours to arrive at us!"
"It's too slow!"
Tang Qihan still complained that he and others felt that there was not much time spent here.
Of course, this Mu Jun cannot be compared with the Ming Jun. One can't eat enough and live a frightened life, and the other can eat enough. Of course, this requires speed and energy.
The general did not explain and asked, "The general is still full of expectations for this battle?"
"That's of course!"
Tang Qihan said without hesitation, "Wang Dacai, that boy, led his troops in front of him and fought happily. He gave me the old man behind the city. When I heard the news of good news in front of him, I was so bored that I finally had a war, so of course I had to fight a good battle."
The general was stunned. Perhaps only Tang Qihan dared to call Jiang Lang a boy, because he was the oldest here, and Jiang Lang respected him and respected him.
After a silence, the general said, "Yes, I heard the news from before. Now our army is approaching step by step. The introduction of the Komu Army has been defeated. I guess it will take not long before we can occupy the entire territory of the Komu Army!"
Tang Qihan shook his head and said, "It is not easy for me to occupy the entire territory, or General Wang has no intention of occupying the entire territory of Koumu Army!"
The name of Jiang Lang was also changed from a boy to a general.
The general was stunned and said strangely: "General Wang is not planning to occupy the entire territory of Koumu Army?"
Tang Qihan shook his head and said, "It should not be. From the Washi, we can see that the situation of Washi now can easily take them down as soon as we send troops. However, the court has not sent troops at present. It is just constantly expanding to attract those herdsmen and then slowly swallowing them. I think for the Koumu Army, he still plans to use this method to occupy a part of it, not to compare them to the dead end, and then resist less, and then attract their people! In this way, the losses can be minimized."
The general nodded slightly, and understood what Tang Qihan meant! He didn't ask more questions at the moment, and quietly waited for the appearance of Kou Mujun.
Chapter completed!
