Chapter 1124 This is an isolated island

In May of the 21st year of Wanli, the North Korean Heiandao and Hamkyung Domain were completely beaten by the Ming army. The second legion Kato Kiyoshima tribe was not aware of the good or bad. The Japanese pirates, Mori Yoshiseki tribe and the Fifth legion Fukushima tribe launched several attacks on the Ming army's line, but they all broke their heads and returned in vain.

The general Ukita Hidea, who was originally in Seoul, led his troops to the southernmost end of Jeolla Road, which is also a sea-traffic port between Japan and North Korea.

There was no shocking war in the Eight Roads of Korea, but it was inexorable to fight at sea. The Japanese pirates who had just gained the advantage outside Incheon and the injustice of the Joint Navy were completely wiped out in the battle with the Ming Dynasty and North Korea. Since then, from Hungkai Road to Gyeonggi Province and Chungcheong Province, there is no Japanese pirates who can go to sea, and they can only rely on land transportation.

The commanders of the Japanese pirate army in Gyeonggi Province were still worried, and news that made them desperate came from Busan, "Ten thousand ships gathered, wolves ate tigers." "Although the ships were loyal and brave... The ships were sunk and people died, and martyrs died in their country..." This was a letter from Busan. The Japanese pirates and the coalition forces of Shen Jun ships suffered a devastating blow in the waters between Busan and Tsushima Island.

It is not just the Sanjiang fleet. In fact, when the Sanjiang fleet's gunboats arrived there, the battle was about to end. Anyone who wanted to get a share of the future trade or plunder between North Korea and Japan, and some even wanted to obtain a concession for participation in Nanyang and sugar traders. The sea owners flocked to defeat Shen Wang and Shen Wang's alliance, and they would gain greater wealth and power at sea.

The injustice gunboat still has an advantage in dealing with the Korean navy, but in front of the Ming Navy and other sea lords, he has no advantage. The quality and quantity of the artillery of the Sha Dacheng fleet are greater than that of him.

Compared with the Japanese pirates who fought to the death, the fleet of Shen Wu retreated from the battlefield immediately after suffering losses. However, such a life-and-death battle could not be left as long as he wanted. It was a fleet that was far more than his. After the battle, everyone discovered that there was no trace of Shen Wu on any ship on the sea. Someone confessed to the flagship where Shen Wu was originally located, saying that Shen Wu changed the ship and left halfway.

The Japanese pirates were wiped out. Starting from June of the 21st year of Wanli, the sea route between Japan and Korea was completely harassed by the coastal towns and ports of Kyushu and Xiguo, as they were on guard against the enemy, because they were harassed by the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants from time to time.

By the way, Kyushu Daming is still making voices with the sea lords, because of this, it has made huge profits...

In just two naval battles within a month, the commanders of the Japanese pirate army in North Korea suddenly found that they had no way out. Although they still have an advantage in terms of numbers, in a sense, it is still unclear who will win.

There is also less happy news. On the way to sailing towards Busan, the North Korean navy Lee Sun-sin's troops encountered a desperate attack from the Japanese pirates' navy. Because the Ming navy acted too quickly and was careless, the wind direction was not right, so it was too late to go back to rescue.

"It's all a mistake for a humble position, I'm willing to receive a heavy punishment!"

This is the apology document of a person in charge of the Volunteer Fleet. Fortunately, the remaining "Japanese Pirates" were also annihilated, all the ships were sunk, and all the sailors and soldiers were sinking.

"Suppose the merits are reduced to the sin!"

Wang Tong said in the document that he declared the entire army with great pain that all troops could learn from the lessons and that he could not make such mistakes of being careless and underestimating the enemy again.

The North Korean kings were irresistible about this. The North Korean kings in Yizhou only heard the army recovering one place. They were extremely happy. Their own navy lost it. They didn't expect to be preserved at the beginning. Moreover, Lee Sun-sen was never a pleasing character. He just sent a few eulogies and sacrifices.

In June of the 21st year of Wanli, except for several riot militias in southern North Korea, North Korea no longer had any military power.

On the tenth day of June of the 21st year, Wang Tong arrived at Huangju, Hungkaido, North Korea. The Kuroda Nagamasagi, the Third Corps, which had originally re-entered the Hungkaido, took the initiative to withdraw back to Gyeonggi Province.

Everyone knows what consequences will be after the sea route is taken. The whole country of Japan is extremely shocked and angry, and began to recruit pirates into the navy. The daimyos who were near the sea were assigned to the task of building ships, and they also sought help from various merchants in Japan, asking them to send ships to the war.

Will there be any result in shipbuilding? The pirates collected and Western ships who were tempted by the high rewards drove into the Tsushima Strait at the end of June.

The Dutch and Spaniards, who were originally full of confidence, hung up the flag of unintentional participation in the war after seeing the gunboats of the Sanjiang fleet and wanted to take the initiative to leave the battlefield. One of the Spanish ships was still beaten by three gunboats before leaving the battlefield because they rushed too close.

The Dutch and Spanish Western gunboats left the battlefield, causing the already panic-like pirates to collapse immediately, and the next battle was another massacre.

The sea lords who are good at Wang Tong cannot stay on the strait for a long time. They also have to do business. There is no mandatory regulation on Wang Tong. In fact, the strait has achieved its goal in more than half a month.

There were too many ships, which made it impossible for the Japanese pirates to send people to disguise themselves and secretly communicate with North Korea. The shocks of the giant ships and cannons on the sea were even more unparalleled.

After learning that the sea route was completely destroyed and further knowing that this could not be broken, the Japanese pirate army commanders in North Korea were a little unable to sit still.

No matter how you think or do it, there is only one way out for them now, that is, to fight the Ming army and defeat the Ming army, there is still a glimmer of hope in North Korea. If not, in fact, there is no other choice now, only one battle.

After the Ozakigawa Takake, Ukita Hidea and several nearby legion commanders began to dispatch troops. Since the sea route had been cut off, he simply gave up Jeolla and Gyeongsangdo on the back route. After leaving behind small teams to collect grain and maintain them, the rest of the army headed north and gathered in Gyeonggi Province and Chungcheong Province. The troops from Gangwon Province also moved westward.

North Korea is mountainous and flat areas are the areas in the western part of the Korean Peninsula. The battle between large troops is on the front lines of Seoul and Incheon. The Han River Basin is most suitable for development.

The advantage that the Japanese pirate army can have is to wait for the Ming army to go south in advance and wait for the Ming army to move south. In order to ensure that there is enough time before the army reunion, Governor Konishi and Kuroda Nagamasa's First and Third Legions jointly head north and attack the Ming army that had entered the Huanghai Road first.

When the Ming army had just entered North Korea, there were Ming horse exploration and night-time activities on the countryside and on the roads everywhere, there were Japanese ninjas and spies reconnaissance, and even Korean spies who served in the Ming and Japanese...

But now, it is impossible for the Japanese pirates to know the movements of most of the Ming army. The battlefield has been completely covered by the Ming army's cavalry. The Ming cavalry who went out to operate has a principle. As long as they think it is suspicious, they can be killed. Needless to pay attention to his wearing Japanese clothes or the costumes of the Korean people.

The information on the battlefield was unilateral. The activities of the two Japanese pirates were controlled by the Ming army at any time. They knew themselves and their enemies and won every battle. By this time, the balance of victory and defeat had already tilted.

The First Regiment, the Fifth Regiment and the Sixth Regiment of the Huwei Army were accompanied by two thousand Datong Horse Team. In addition to the regiment's artillery, there were twenty artillery pieces, and 4,000 model infantry soldiers in the border town. They set out in advance to fight against the Japanese pirates.

The two Japanese pirates had a total of 30,000 people. They left Gyeonggi Province and went to the northern part of Hwanghae Road. They had to go west first and then turned north. Even if the army was moving, it would only take two to three days to walk safely.

Li Hutou, who led the team south, walked two more hours a day since he set out, set out early and camped late, and took a long time to steal it. He arrived almost at the same time as the Japanese pirates. There was a flat terrain between Haizhou and Kaicheng, but Haizhou was close to the mountains. There were mountains in the north of Huanghai Road, and there was a gourd-shaped plain. Haizhou was just on the waist of this gourd.

Whoever pinched the waist of this gourd, the soldiers in the north had to cross mountains or take the sea to go south, and could not take a step south. After all, the Japanese pirates acted early. Although Li Hutou rushed to the scene, they still arrived at Haizhou City one step earlier.

There are 30,000 to 10,000, and there are cities to rely on. This situation is very good for the Japanese pirates, but such greatness is just on paper.

Because of this number of people, and Governor Konishi and Nagamasa Kuroda found that the Ming army was also mainly infantry, they did not expect to defend Haizhou City. Instead, they were preparing to go out of the city to set up a field battle. After all, since the Ming army entered North Korea, every time the Ming army used cavalry like sea tides to completely defeat the Japanese pirates. Now they are infantry, and their advantage is not that big.

"The first regiment entered the reserved position~~~~" "The fifth regiment took over~~~" "The sixth regiment~~~~"

The calls on the battlefield came one after another, and the horses dragged the cannons and landed on the artillery positions. One cannon was raised, and the artillery soldiers were nervously preparing for the shooting.

"Must gun soldiers check the muskets, prepare before shooting~~~" "Court correction~~~"

Li Hutou patrols the queue on the horse. His position is in the front row on the right side of the entire team. Now he is looking at the opposite side of the team. The Japanese pirate array is also waving with flags and flags. The Huwei Army is still preparing, and you can see that the flags and orders are issued there. The enemy will not give you time to prepare for the array and attack first.

"Mr. Li, the last general is willing to lead the cavalry out of the battle."

Datong deputy general Ma Gui immediately asked for a fight. Li Hutou shook his head and said with a smile:

"The cavalry is not used here. The commander used to teach me that wars were always made by firing cannons!"
