Chapter 1378 Detour
Everyone's expressions changed as He Xilian said.
This method is ruthless, quite ruthless!
Dorgon touched Guangzhuang's forehead and looked bored on his face.
The Japanese people's strategies and tactics are really painful. This kind of fighting method that hurts one thousand and hurts the enemy is disgusting and uncomfortable.
"Do you have any solutions?" Dorgon looked at everyone present coldly.
Zuo Liangyu immediately responded and said, "Aoyama Tadatsushi obviously intends to defend the situation at all costs. If we fight hard, even if we lose it, it will be too great. It is better to surround him and not attack. It depends on how long he can last!"
The 20,000 people that Zuo Liangyu accepted have been damaged in the siege in the past few days, so he doesn't want to continue to attack.
Zuo Liangyu's words actually make sense. Because the Ming army had so many total troops to fight against the Japanese this time, we could not expect the court to send reinforcements again, so they had to cherish their troops.
The key to the problem is that no one here can afford to spend it. There are certainly various reasons for this battle to be delayed for so long, but the court and the emperor expressed their dissatisfaction. If we continue to delay, then what we are waiting for is the emperor and the court.
Dorgon didn't explain anything, but said in a dissatisfaction without concealing his dissatisfaction, "Is there any other way to take down the fortress as soon as possible?"
Qian Jinxiao lowered his head and looked solemn.
Tadatsuke Aoyama has an army of 80,000, which is obvious that he is dying with them. If he wants to fight quickly, there is no other way except for a strong attack.
"It would be great if I could go around..." Mandahai said as if he was talking to himself.
Qian Jinxiao shook his head and said, "It's not like it takes a long time to go around, and it's a big taboo to go deep into the country's island without taking down the Guanmen Strait in front of us."
"Then, will you be in the internal rebellion?" Daishan continued.
Qian Jinxiao was silent for a moment and said, "Let's test it, there was no response inside. I believe Tadashi Aoyama had learned the lesson last time and took strict precautions."
"Where are you luring him out of the city?" Li Dingguo asked.
Qian Jinxiao did not hesitate this time and said, "Qingshan Tadashi Aoyama made up his mind to defend himself. He would lose our troops in the fortress at the close of the gate. It would be impossible to leave the city. He is not an ordinary person and cannot be lured with common sense."
"I should have burned all the granaries inside at the beginning!" Duoduo said with some hatred.
This fortress was really like a natural chasm, blocking the Ming army's way forward. It seems that there is no other way except for a strong attack at all costs!
There was silence in the camp, each thinking about it, and each having different abacus.
Dorgon closed his eyes, his face feeling bored.
This is generally the case with Daishan, Mandahai, Duoduo and others. They do not want to lose Jurchen troops, so their tactics are very limited and time does not wait for them, so they are very impatient.
Li Dingguo saw the situation clearly. If it were him, he would definitely attack the city at any cost and would not give Japan too much time. But this time he was a character of "training" and "surveillance", and he had no say, but was more of a bystander.
Zuo Liangyu is the most selfish. She is determined to preserve her strength. She doesn't speak when she sees others, and she is happy to be silent. As long as she doesn't treat him as a pioneer, it's fine.
The two of them were very reserved, and despite the heavy losses of their army in the past few days, they felt particularly comfortable. These adults were very satisfied with their performance and gave them a lot of rewards.
For example, the autumn tax collection on Jiuguo Island is generally determined to be given to them, and they are also allowed to recruit soldiers on their own. The official position is the same as that of the commander of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it gives considerable freedom!
Seeing the troubles of the adults of the sect leader, the two looked at each other, and Hei Tianzhongzhi said, "Sir, it's not impossible for you to bypass the gate fortress."
Dorgon, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "What's the solution?"
The other people also looked at him, their eyes terrified.
Kuroda Tada looked at everyone's eyes and said respectfully: "From Toyomaebashi, go to Okura Castle, there is a dark road where you can go around to the back of the Guanmen Fortress."
The west coast of Guanmen Strait is mainly located in two vassal states, one is the vassal state of the vassal state and the other is the vassal state of the vassal state. As the vassal state of the vassal state of the vassal state, he naturally knows a lot about this important way that connects the country's island.
Without waiting for everyone to be surprised, Dorgon said with a cold look, "Why didn't you say it before?"
Kuroda Tada's body turned cold and he knelt down and said, "Sir, first, the journey is too far, and the army will have to walk for four or five days. Second, that road is a secret passage between Fengmae's secret contact with the major names of the islands. It is rugged and difficult to move through, and the army is difficult to pass. The villain thinks that it is impossible to use it at all."
Everyone listened to his words and thoughts.
But Duoduo was impatient and said directly: "It takes four or five days to walk, and I can only walk for one day, and I can get around it!"
Duoduo is naturally confident. Their cavalry has three horses, which are not stopped day and night, so how can it be comparable to walking?
Dorgon was unwilling to delay it, and he would not be able to delay it. Not to mention the loss here, he might not be able to return the Phnom Penh over time!
He was vaguely worried that the Ming emperor would leave him on this deserted island!
Dorgon sat up suddenly and said in a deep voice, "Kuroda Tadayuki, you lead the way with a thousand people, Dordo, Mandahai, you lead 10,000 cavalry and set off on the road immediately!"
"yes!"
Kuroda Tadayuki and Dodo immediately received the order, and they couldn't wait. This closed strait really disgusted them!
Seeing Dodo leaving, Daishan said to Dorgon: "We cannot place all our hopes on that dark road."
Dorgon took a deep breath, as if he wanted to clear the boredom in his mind, looked around everyone and said, "Well, continue to attack the city tomorrow, control the rhythm, and pay attention to casualties."
"Yes!" a group of people responded.
The Ming army could not afford to lose money, and the fortress could not be delayed. Both sides had clear strategic intentions and clear tactics.
The next day, the Ming army once again attacked the city under the cover of artillery fire. The fierce artillery fire covered the city not far away, and it was almost blown up here.
The shogunate army, as they had fought desperately, turned the fortress into a meat grinder again, ruthlessly reaping lives.
In the city, there were teams of warriors holding swords. Their faces were cold and they could kill anyone who dared to retreat directly. Not only here, such a team was spread throughout the fortress!
Tadatsutsu Aoyama stood in the distance at the watchtower, staring at everything in the city indifferently.
There were many daimyos standing behind him, and behind them there was a warrior with his sword unsheathed, revealing a cold murderous intent.
These daimyos stood, their backs were chilling, their hearts were trembling, and they didn't move.
Tadatsutsu Aoyama looked at it for a while, silently calculated the grain and grass in the warehouse, and then said, "What's the matter with Shigemasato Onakura?"
Inoue stood behind him and said, "He has less than a thousand people in total, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to accomplish anything."
Tadsuke Aoyama silently said, "The pace of the Ming army is slowing down. It is either brewing something or preparing to withdraw. What do you think?"
Inoue's expression tightened and said, "The meaning of Palace... is the Ming Dynasty ready to attack at any cost?"
