"The Han army is now building a large number of fortresses, using fortresses to counter the fortresses. This is a dignified war of attrition. If I had listened to me, I would take the initiative to attack while the Han army has not yet established a stable foothold, and maybe I would have driven the Han army into the sea!"

In the meeting hall of the Kyoto Palace, the important officials are verbally whining every day, because there are many senior Aboriginal generals and strategists. In order to make them understand, the words used by the island players are still very civilized.

"Baga, can't the battle near the landed beach be explained by the Baga, the battle near the landed beach? There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. It will be useless to say things that have passed over and over again."

"A lesson from the past, a teacher from the future!"

"Okay, don't argue about this matter anymore! Now we are exploring the current situation in Jiuzhou. Now that Jiuzhou is attacked by north and south, landing war is inevitable. Instead of spending less power to keep the enemy outside the national gate, it is better to lure the enemy into depth and eliminate more enemies at a smaller cost. This strategy is unquestionable."

"this"

"However, the Han army built a large number of fortresses to fight fortresses with me, and the opponent had the power of aerial raids, we were obviously at a disadvantage!"

"Air power! Those flying dragons cannot fly high at all. As long as we create artillery with large firing angles, the problem can be solved. In addition, our fortress cannons have a significantly far better range than the enemy's ancient catapults. In the fortress battle, our army will benefit!"

"Tada Jun is right, fortress warfare is the best way to leverage our army's advantages and restrain the enemy's advantages."

"That's true, so as long as we strengthen our confidence and adhere to the current strategy, we can consume the enemy's vitality and greatly increase the enemy's war costs. Until the Han army cannot bear this serious loss and retreat!"

"Will it really retreat? The Han army's war strength and potential seem to be greater than ours!"

"You are wrong. Now the war with us is only part of the Han Dynasty. The population they can mobilize in Youzhou in the north and Kuaiji in the south is even roughly the same as ours, but in the early battles, our sea ships were consumed in large quantities in the process of breaking through barriers."

"This is also a helpless thing. Who told me that the urge was so urgent!"

"The incompetence of the Navy can't pretend to be invisible!"

"Baga, is the Army's performance at the city of Busan satisfying you?"

"Baga. You"

"Shut up! Yamamoto, what do you think is the possibility of success of this strategy?"

"Your Excellency and everyone, the strategy of luring the enemy into depth is not so much a strategy of response, but it is undeniable that this is the best strategy for our army at present. As Mr. Imai said just now, the Han army did not use the whole country to attack our country. If that is the case, our army's situation will be even more dangerous. Now there are frequent wars in the Han Dynasty, which adds the possibility of success to our strategic choices!"

"Yamamoto-kun means that he should focus on the Han Dynasty?"

"That is, the only one who defeats the giants can only be the giants themselves. As long as the internal chaos of the Han Kingdom occurs, they will not be able to continue to spend their military power in our country. Therefore, every extra point of internal friction in the Han Kingdom, the war power that can be invested in will be less. If the chaos in the Han Kingdom continues, our army will even have the opportunity to counterattack the Han Kingdom! Therefore, wars in our country cannot be resolved within our country, but should start from within the Han Kingdom!"

"Okay, Yamamoto Kansuke Kansuke, who is worthy of being the number one think tank in our country! He can see through the essence of things at a glance!"

"Start from the Han Dynasty? Is it a disaster in the Han Dynasty?"

"Yes, this is a good idea. As long as the Han Dynasty is in chaos, we will have a chance!"

"Don't we have many friends in Han Country!"

"Friends, those are dogs, dogs that bite people for us!"

"Mr. Hua, what does this mean? Do you need this information to be useful?"

"Well, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated! Isn't it a step to understand the enemy's character and relationships?

"Yes, but is this really necessary!"

"Of course, most of the strategies are formulated in a targeted manner, designed to target the personality of the opposite commander so that the power of the strategies can be effectively exerted. There is no doubt about this."

"I can understand this, okay, then I will try my best to do it, although it is not a small problem!"

After seeing Hua Xin off, Zhang Zhiyuan curiously brought the letter to the General Staff, hoping to consult Zhang Tianhuo about the purpose of Fang Zhiwen's need of these information.

"It's not difficult to understand. Understanding the opponent's personality is indeed an effective means to implement strategies." Zhang Tianhuo affirmed Hua Xin's statement: "However, Fang Zhiwen's purpose may be more than that."

"Oh? What's his purpose?"

"Now on the front line of Hanjin, the pattern of fortress war has emerged. Fortress war is a protracted war, which consumes a lot and takes time. Fang Zhiwen has always advocated a quick battle. Even if it is a national war, it is difficult to achieve a quick battle. However, Fang Zhiwen will definitely try every means to accelerate the process of the war. The most effective method is to kill a large number of vital forces of the opponent and increase the consumption of the opponent!"

"What does that have to do with this requirement?"

"Yes! The relationship is quite good! Nowadays, players are the absolute main force in the Japanese army, and players have very distinct characteristics. Although the Japanese are relatively united, it does not mean that they are a solidarity. Fang Zhiwen's purpose is to fully utilize the players' unruly personality to inspire internal conflicts and induce them to make mistakes."

"oh!?"

"There is another characteristic of fortress war, that is, once the defense line is broken, the entire strategy will become very passive, and the cost of early investment will basically be scrapped."

"So that's the case. Since that's the case, this information seems to be very necessary!"

"Of course, if possible, I also want information about the generals of the Southern Command opposite the strait."

"The preparations for landing on Kyushu Island have been completed?"

"It's almost done."

"I understand. Although it is not easy, I will try my best to get the information you want."

"General. Look, the central part of Kyushu Island is a mountainous area. As long as we make full use of this and establish a stronghold in the central mountainous area, we can attack here and become the poison in the heart of the enemy!"

"Well, this is also the purpose of the lord sending us here to log in. Have you studied the map thoroughly?"

"How did you get the map here? It's quite detailed!"

"You don't have to worry about this. I heard that I got it from Yiren. I entered the mountain area by the sea for 120 miles. I don't think we have to hide and destroy all the enemy camps on the coastal roads! By the way, we can get some supply reserves!"

"promise!"

Fang Zhiwen circled Li Yuanzhi's cavalry and directly sent it to the Hinata near the eastern coast of Kyushu Island. Li Yuanzhi deeply understood Fang Zhiwen's strategic intentions. After landing, he wiped out several surrounding fortresses with great fanfare and then disappeared into the continuous mountains.

At the beginning, the Japanese didn't understand why Fang Zhiwen did such an inexplicable thing, and even sent a cavalry unit worth more than 20,000 to the enemy's back and in the mountains. Isn't this a death sentence? In addition, the supply cut off, what combat effectiveness does this unit have?

Therefore, the Japanese don’t have to bother to find this cavalry unit. Just guard the surrounding mountain exits and block them in the mountainous areas, and they can trap them alive!

But then they discovered that this was just their own fantasy!

Not only was this cavalry not trapped to death, but it fully utilized the complexity of the mountainous areas. It attacked the surrounding cities and fortresses everywhere, from southeast to northwest to the east, south, west and north. Any weak places could be raided by this cavalry. This cavalry caused huge casualties and losses to the Japanese in a short period of time.

As for the issue of cutting off supplies, it seemed that this cavalry didn't care at all. It was not until the detailed information from the Han Dynasty showed that this was a mountain cavalry specially used for mountain warfare behind enemy lines that the Japanese who suffered a great loss understood what kind of enemy they were facing.

So what if you know? The troops sent into the mountains were either annihilated or dragged down. If you want to encircle such a large area, the troops will appear sparse and your speed will not keep up. The encircle and suppression finally became annihilated by the opponent in search of opportunities. In order to encircle and suppress this 20,000 team, the Japanese lost no less than 100,000 people. This is not the number of people killed by Li Yuanzhi, as well as the fortresses and cities that were burned by him.

There has not been a solution here yet, and the battle of fortresses in the north has another problem. The impatient guards of Itoshima Taro and Sanada Yukimura were lured by the Han army and advanced along the coast. As a result, Yu Shu used his clever leap tactic to use the navy's transportation capabilities to in turn attack and cut off his retreat.

More than 70,000 infantry were wiped out between the beaches and mountains in the Fuji area. Then Yu She led his army to advance and led a large number of player troops to take down all the forts between Fuji and Ito Island in one go, forming a siege on the empty Ito Island. The originally dense fortress circle was immediately torn apart.

The Itoshima crisis immediately mobilized the entire fortress circle. The Han army, who had been prepared, took advantage of the Japanese to mobilize and repeatedly attacked and raided the moving troops, captured a large number of fortresses, and pushed the entire battle circle to the front line of Guanyin Mountain and Matsuuragawa Yamaguchi. The originally cramped situation suddenly expanded. As the front line expanded, the dull situation between the two sides was broken and the fierce battle began!

On August 3, the Japanese gave up Itoshima and retreated to Fukuoka to reorganize the defense line. Yushe occupied Itoshima to build a city. The second fulcrum was completed. The strategic situation in the northern part of Kyushu became alive. For the Japanese, the area they wanted to guard against was even larger. What's bad is that the loss of Matsuura River and Guanyin Mountain may have the small town facing a siege. If the small town is lost, the entire northwestern part of Kyushu will be cut off, which forces the Japanese to arrange heavy troops around the small town.

As a result, not only the troops in the northern defense circle were a little short of strength, but the troops in the central defense against Li Yuanzhi, but also the troops in the southern defense operations are not enough. (To be continued...)
