Chapter 653: The Dust Sweeping Plan to Sweep the Japanese Island (63)
In Baolin's view, even if the Korean army that was bumping from the sea could easily take down Toyama and Kanazawa, it would be difficult for them to break through the snow-covered peaks of hundreds of miles of Mount Migao, Mount Bai, and the obstacles and resistance of Echizen and Wakasa's vassals in a short time. After all, the Korean army was not iron-clad, and they should be tired.
Therefore, after listening to the detailed and in-depth analysis by General Paulin, Tokugawa Ishiki, who had already been unscrupulous, immediately decided not to inform the news that the Korean army had landed in Toyama that the people were busy at Himeji Castle, so as not to affect the large counterattack plan that the general of Himehara will launch in five days.
Tokugawa Ishiki believed that his General Consultant Pauling's algorithm would be successfully implemented as long as the large counterattack plan of Itagaki Tuisuke can be implemented smoothly, at most three days, more than 10,000 Korean troops facing Himeji will be eaten up by his army. At the same time, the main forces of the Western Front Army, which are still concentrated in the direction of the United States, will have to give up all the original delusions due to the serious threat brought by the exposure of the flanks.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Itagaki Tuisuke and Raijima Zuobu were able to draw a large amount of power and then turn back to deal with the Korean army heading south from Toyama.
Of course, despite having no idea, Tokugawa Ieshiro firmly denied another suggestion made by his general counsel, and refused to send the soldiers and soldiers of the Arima Shin-seven First Guard Corps stationed around Edo to Gifu.
In this way, if it weren't for the fact that a large number of Echizen, Wakasa's rebellious soldiers and refugees had been fled around Kyoto, Ichisuke would have to continue to mess around in Himeji Castle.
Finally understood, Itagaki Shisuke suddenly felt that the disaster was about to come. He had to resent and quickly put away his so-called counterattack plan and drove Omi, Tanba, Iga and other vassal soldiers who had just been ordered around Kyoto to Kyoto, Wakasa, and Omi again to Kyoto, Wakasa, and Omi.
Kyoto will never lose it. Although the emperor has already gone to Edo, Kyoto Oshi Castle, a symbol of Japan, cannot be taken into the hands of the North Korean army. Itagaki Tuisuke is very clear about this.
If he wants to firmly guard Kyoto, his work focus can no longer be simply on the line of defense against the enemy coming from the west. He must also strengthen the defenses between Wakasa and Omi before the Toyama landed in the south. Especially the Omi, which connects Japan's east-west traffic, is bound to be lost.
After driving away the groups of people around him who were already shocked by the sudden crisis, Itagaki Tuisuke also began to run towards Kyoto on a starry and moon, and at the same time, Fei Nobuyuki asked the Left Guardi of Laijima who was in a difficult confrontation with the United States. In any case, he had to try every means to draw out some of his troops and quickly go east to strengthen Kyoto's defense.
Itagaki Tuisuke and Li Rongxi, who were heading south in large numbers, made a difference.
Li Rongxi, who personally led the right-wing army to move south from Kaga, was already at the foot of Ekimaema Marugang City on November 12th. Within two days, he not only induced and annihilated most of the reinforcements sent by Ekimaema Daima Matsuhei Keiyen to Marugang, but also captured Maruoka Castle in one fell swoop.
The complete defeat of Marugang's battle made Matsuhei Keiyen lose his soul and courage. On the fifteenth night, when the vanguard of the dynasty army arrived at the city of Fukui, the Echizen's vassal city had already become an untouched city. Matsuhei Keiyen had already abandoned the city early in the morning that day and fled.
Li Rongxi led the right-wing army to continue his efforts and successfully captured Wakasa's Sanfang City on the 19th. On the other side, the other side not only broke through Aifa Pass, known as one of Japan's three famous passes, and easily entered Ori River. He also seized two fortresses, Rizhao Mountain and Miyagawa, and arrived directly under the city of Hikone on the 21st.
But I had already received the order of Ichigaki Tsui and Omi Legion, who had to go back day and night. The Wakasa Legion was still on the chaotic way back home. As for the Omi Legion, which had the Iga Legion as its companion, he had just stepped on their feet into his own countryside.
Wakasa, especially the crisis that Omi had appeared, made Itagaki Tuisuke so anxious that he was in a fire. While he was once again ordered Wakasa and Omi to speed up the return of defense. Even if he fought no more, he had to block the offensive momentum of the North Korean army. At the same time, he quickly ordered Tanhou and Tanba to quickly rush to the direction of Wakasa.
In order to ensure Omi's absolute safety, Itagaki Tuisuke even had the idea of a vassal legion of the Ise, Shima and Kii who gathered around Osaka.
But his thoughts were soon dispelled by the crisis that appeared in Hyogo Bay.
On November 22, a North Korean fleet led by Park Jinhai rushed into Hyogo Bay, first attacking Hyogo, and then bombing Osaka, making a Hyogo Bay awesome.
This time, the Tuisuke Itagaki was so scared that he not only did not dare to talk about rushing troops to the Omi direction for support, but also had to force one group of people to the two places desperately to prevent the Korean army from coming ashore from these two places.
Li Rongxi had been paused at Hikone City for four days, and had not used a knife to Hikone City in front of him.
He originally wanted to take advantage of these four days to take a break and recuperate his troops while waiting for the Japanese Ome Legion and Iga Legion who had returned to his hometown to come to him.
However, no matter the Iga army that had to come to help, or the landlord who saw that his hometown was trampled, the Oe Legion refused to come over. Instead, he relied on the formation houses such as Inchoji Temple, as well as the two cities of the Seal and Mizuguchi, to look at the Korean army from afar.
Of course, the Japanese army's behavior of not being beaten to death would not make Li Rongxi feel any displeasure.
On November 25, with Li Rongxi's roar, the Korean army, who had been in charge of energy for four days, began to rush to Hikone Castle. The defenders of Hikone Castle, who had suffered for four days of panic all day, finally finally came to an end.
When the Japanese Ome and Kaga's vassal army officers and soldiers were all wondering about when the Korean army would hit their door again, Li Rongxi was playing a good show of preparing for the troops in Hikone Castle, and quietly moved the main force to the east.
Because there is an important juncture that is as famous as the "Aifa Pass" that he conquered not long ago - not breaking the pass.
