Although the small town has not been captured, it has basically lost its role as a strategic node. The reason why the small town has not been captured is that Guo Jia wants to use the small town to fish. The terrain around the small town has been clearly touched, and important nodes are also held in the hands of the Han army.

In this case, the unfavorable conditions for away battles can basically be avoided. Instead of continuing to attack outward and diluting his own troops, Guo Jia is more willing to choose to consume the enemy on a familiar terrain. After all, the war on Yingzhou Island cannot be completed in one or two years. This is a national war, and it is a battle to destroy the country. You must wait until one of the countries has completely exhausted its national strength and is completely eliminated before it can truly end.

The small town has actually gone down. As a result, the Japanese and players of Nishikyushu, which have formed a substantial separation to the west of the small town, are anxious.

However, the players and troops here are less than one million, not to mention that they are still scattered among the cities. The commander-in-chief of Kyushu Island has two choices. One is to rely on the city to fight to the last moment, and try its best to consume the combat effectiveness of the Han army; the second choice is to shrink the troops, gather the troops together, and then break out in the direction of the small city.

The latter option seems to be more feasible, but the consequence of this option is to abandon the two or three million people in Xi Kyushu. Then, even if you can break through the siege, the result will still be the same, that is, the loss of Xi Kyushu, the entire Xi Kyushu will become the territory of the Han army, where the Han army will establish rule, build cities and migrate the population, and become a solid and huge forward base for continuing to attack Yingzhou.

After comprehensive consideration, the Japanese chose to defend the city. They tried their best to delay the time for the Han army to completely occupy Xijiuzhou, and use their will and persistence to wait for the news of the reinforcements' victory in the counterattack of the small town. Of course, it may also be the result of a fire of jade and stone. The Japanese players were also mentally prepared for this result, so they recruited all the young and strong militias. Although due to the logistical supply issue, these militias could only hold a bamboo gun or a homemade bamboo bow in their hands, and they were also known as the army.

The west of the small town is about sixty miles, and it is a place called Wuxiong City. There were no troops stationed here at first, but after the first phase of the battle between the small town, nearly 300,000 troops gathered here from Imali in the north and the fortress group in the east.

They also tried to take the initiative to attack in the direction of the small city. They opened up the connection with the small city, but failed several times. After losing more than 100,000 troops, they hurried into the city and did not dare to come out. The player troops of the Han army, led by Taishi Zhaorong, slowly pushed the front line to Wuxiong's city and began to build earthen bases to attack Wuxiong.

In the other direction, the player troops from Hanjin were also attacking Imali, but as the battlefield was fully unfolded, the range of the battlefield expanded a lot. From Itoshima to Takeo, the distance was about 180 miles. Within such a large range, it also gave the enemy sufficient room for activity, especially those ninjas that were small troops active. They were active on this large-scale battlefield, spying on intelligence, and on the other hand, assassination and poisoning activities. Although the harm was not as great as they expected, it was very annoying.

Therefore, a martial arts recruitment order appeared in cities all over the Han Dynasty, calling on the Han Dynasty to show off his style on Yingzhou Island. This is unprecedented good news. As Hanjin upgraded to a second-level town, Hanjin's post office has been opened, and the restrictions that could not be opened due to transportation capacity have also disappeared.

As soon as this conscript order was released, a large number of rangers flocked to him. There was never a shortage of passionate players. Most of them were free players who ran to single gangs or mercenary groups and were not qualified to participate in large-scale battles in the early stages of the war. Now they have the opportunity to kill the Japanese, so they naturally cannot be missed.

All sects and sects even organized themselves, dividing the battlefield into areas, each responsible for one direction, especially in the direction of Xijiuzhou. Since the Japanese on this side were all shrouded in the city, the vast space outside the city suddenly became the world for these martial arts people.

"There are people across the valley, be careful!"

"It should be my own person, look at the map."

"Oh, it's really my own people. Hello, your part?"

"Songshan School? What is the way the brothers on the other side?"

"We are from Hengshan School."

"You guys have crossed the boundary, this is our territory!"

"Haha, I chased after a group of Japanese ninjas. We were about to turn north!"

"Don't worry, how many people are there on the side of my brother?"

"Fifty people!"

"Then talk, there is a big business!"

Although these martial arts people have no combat power on the battlefield, their skillful cooperation and weird skills are still very interesting in the battle between such small troops, so they still have some ideas when facing the small Japanese troops.

In fact, their current location is probably southeast of Sasebo, which is already a typical hinterland of the enemy-occupied area. Not only are there enemy ninja activities, but also logistics and security forces. This time, they obviously targeted a regular army.

"This 1,000-man unit transports wood and gunpowder to Matsuura Castle, and we have been following it for a long time."

"One thousand people, that's too many, we're less than two hundred people together."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. We don't plan to fight hard either. I plan to gradually eliminate the opponent through repeated ambushings. They want to go to Matsuura to get dark. If we can delay them, darkness may not be possible."

"But the surrounding terrain is not very good!"

"It's okay, they dare not chase them too far, and we are not inferior to them with speed. How about it, will we do a vote?"

"Damn! I've done it, I haven't seen such a big business yet!"

"Okay! We have already fired the cloud-piercing arrow. I hope to gather more colleagues to come over, and maybe they will be wiped out by then."

"Be careful, there are ninjas!"

"Damn. There are actually ninjas on the periphery, and there are quite a lot of them. It seems that this is a trap!"

"The wind is tight. Is it?"

"No hurry, they didn't expect that we would have so many people, slowly retreating and heading to the southeast!"

"Look at each other and be careful of their poison darts!"

"I'm afraid of the ball, so I'm not jealous of the poisonous terrestrials. This is the poison obtained from the Star Sect!"

"Haha. I bought it from the Tang Sect."

“Up uphill, uphill!”

"Lime, sprinkled!"

Huh! A mountain wind blew. The lime powder in the sky rushed towards the group of ninjas wrapped in head and face chasing. At this moment, many people who were unprepared were immediately caught!

"Run!"

The group of martial arts masters suddenly turned around and all kinds of light skills rushed into the ninja group. After a chasing, the ninja fled to death.

"Don't chase, heal the wound and recover the blood. Hurry up, those who are poisoned should detoxify quickly. Pick up the equipment of the brothers who have been hung up, and there is an army behind them. Let's go around in front of them and give them some supplies!"

"Okay! Haha."

"Look, the arrow through the clouds!"

"A fellow man is here! That's great! I'll deal with these grandchildren. I dare to kill me and I will never end up with you!"

"Wenyou, is this war report highly credible?"

"It's very high, it's based on task settlement data."

"It's amazing. I actually killed more than 100,000 ninjas. Does the other party have so many ninjas?"

"Haha, there are also militias and regular army troops. These martial arts people have penetrated the western coast. All the small groups of Japanese who go out of the city are their targets, and we agree with this."

Fang Zhiwen smiled unexpectedly: "This is an unexpected gain! I didn't expect these martial arts people to have such strong combat power."

"Yes, their abilities are quite considerable in battlefield cleaning and raid battles! However, they are also very serious when facing regular troops. Look at our casualties statistics, although they killed 100,000 enemies, they also died more than 80,000 people."

Fang Zhiwen nodded: "This battle loss ratio will gradually decrease. In addition, the exchange price of equipment and replenishment drugs should be appropriately reduced."

"promise!"

"Fengxiao, on your side, the enemy's reinforcements should have passed the Xiaguan, right?"

"According to the intelligence, the enemy reinforcements have passed the Shimaguan and are concentrating in Fukuoka. The attack direction is unclear, and the number of troops is about three million."

"The direction of the attack is unclear? Then why not strengthen the offensive in Imali? How about transferring Yushe from Itoshima to Imali and voluntarily give up Itoshima?"

Guo Jia looked at Li Ru with a smile. Li Ru spread his hands. Fang Zhiwen saw the little movements of the two. It was obvious that Guo Jia and Li Ru were making a bet by themselves. It seemed that Li Ru lost.

"Lord, the proportion of deaths in Yiren in the battle in the battle of Takeo City has reached 70%. It is estimated that Dai Yilong (the Chinese name of Yoshitaka Ouchi) will be able to convince the indigenous defenders to surrender. As for Imanli, there are still 300,000 defenders now. If General Yu She and his mistress's troops attack together, Imanli should not be able to hold on for a few days."

Fang Zhiwen nodded, looked up at Guo Jia and said, "How sure are you?"

"Ninety percent! The key is the time point, and the enemy must be controlled within our time point." Guo Jiasu said.

Li Ru interrupted: "Time can be controlled by our army's mobilization, such as giving up the time of Itoshima, such as the degree of attack on the small town, appropriately plaguing Tosu Castle in southern Fukuoka, etc., these can all influence the opponent's attack time."

Fang Zhiwen stood up, patted his wrinkled clothes and said with a smile: "Okay, you can control this. Dingyuan and I will go around the Torii to make them think we are preparing for the second blocking battle!"

"Thank you, lord, the mobilization of Itoshima will start tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be captured Takeo, and the day after tomorrow will be launched on December 13th. The lord will move near Tosu until the thirteenth day, and then turn north to restrain the enemy troops near Itoshima."

"I understand! Please contact us anytime! I hope God follows the wishes of man!"
