Chapter 1778 The Doomsday of Japanese Pirates (Part 2)
Chapter 1776: The Doomsday of Japanese Pirates (Part 2)
Youzhou, Yuyang County, Lu County.
This place also became a battlefield for the Northern Han and Japanese pirates.
With the blessing of "Wuxiong", Xue Gang, who commanded 100, led 30,000 new soldiers and 5,000 cavalry to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates under the order of Emperor Liu Che of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Today, the Northern Han Dynasty has strong Qin eyes on it in the south, and the Manchu and Qing dynasties are full of malicious intentions in the north. The pressure on the Northern Han Dynasty is unprecedented, so Xue Gang must eliminate the Japanese pirates in the shortest time.
As the first army in Japan in the Warring States Period, Sanada Yukimura, who is both wise and brave, has only one-seventh of the Han army''s strength, so it is naturally impossible to fight head-on with the Northern Han army, but he ultimately underestimated Xue Gang''s methods.
Xue Gang saw that the Japanese pirates had been avoiding the battle, and he didn''t have so much time to entangle here. In desperation, he only led a thousand elite cavalry and two thousand infantry to challenge the Japanese pirates.
Sanada Yukimura saw that there were only 3,000 Han troops coming to attack, two thousand of which were new recruits, while his side had a total of 5,000 elite troops, with two thousand more troops than the Han army, and the possibility of victory was more than 70%, so he had the intention to eat this group of Han troops.
The two sides set off in Lu County, Yuyang County, and started the final life-and-death battle.
Sanada Yukimura: Commander 96, force 99, intelligence 95, politics 84, charm 97; equipment: Shimonoseki, Shiraishi and Harama;
Sanada Yukimura overestimated himself and underestimated Xue Gang. He is the commander of 96, even with the blessing of his skills, his commander attributes are still not as good as Xue Gang.
Naturally, Xue Gang could not be stupid. He only used three thousand soldiers to fight against five thousand Japanese pirates. The reason why he dared to do this was because the two thousand infantry were not new troops at all, but elite cavalry that had been dismounted.
The elite cavalry of Youzhou were not inferior to those of infantry even if they were dismounted, so the battle was actually three thousand elite soldiers who led Xue Gang to fight.
Three thousand elite Northern Han VS five thousand Japanese pirates.
After the war began, Sanada Nobumura was directly deceived. He couldn''t believe that the combat power of the Northern Han Army was so strong that his five thousand army could not defeat the other three thousand.
Soon, Sanada Nobumura discovered something wrong. What kind of recruits are there? He is just a veteran who kills without blinking.
After realizing that he was imprisoned by Xue Gang, Sanada Nobum decisively issued an order to retreat, and this battle caused more than half of the Japanese pirates to suffer casualties, but the Northern Han army suffered less than a thousand casualties.
Sanada Nobumura, who failed in the first battle, no longer had the power to turn things around, but Xue Gang relied on his military strength to constantly squeeze the Japanese pirates'' activity space and erode the Japanese pirates'' living forces little by little.
In the end, it took Xue Gang less than half a month to beat the Japanese pirates, and Yukimura Sanada actually fled back to Japan with less than 500 people.
When I came to Zhongyuan, Yukimura Sanada brought 5,000 elite troops, but when I returned, there were only 500 left. Even if I snatched so much money and food, I still couldn''t make up for the loss of manpower in Zhongyuan. This trip to Zhongyuan was a huge loss.
What Sanada Yukimura didn''t know was that at least he returned to Japan with the money he had grabbed, while Maori Moto was only Uesugi and Shin-Kuai, but he didn''t get any benefits in the entire army.
Maori Moto even spent all his life in it, and Uesugi Kazunobu was even more confused about his whereabouts and his life and death were unknown.
Compared with these two families, Yukimura Sanada has already made good luck.
The one who suffered after Sanada Yukimura was Masato Ida. Ida Masatozong''s luck is really bad. Who is he not good at choosing? He chose Qi, which has a strong naval force. Qi also has Zhu Tianpeng, a top famous naval warfare general.
After the other Japanese princes came to the Central Plains, they basically robbed some places, causing considerable losses to the local princes.
Ko Masamune Ida? After robbing a small town, the Qi army immediately noticed it, and was chased by the Qi army''s navy.
The troops Ida Masato had only 6,000, but Zhu Tianpeng personally led 15,000 navy troops to encircle and suppress him, making him chased him with no way out of heaven and no way to enter the earth.
After half a month of escape and hiding, the hidden Japanese pirates were finally found by Zhu Tianpeng, and Masato Ida was forced to launch a counterattack, and naturally, they were defeated miserably.
There were only one thousand left in the six thousand army, and only a few warships were left. Finally, under the leadership of Masamune Ida, he fled back to Japan.
In this Japanese suppression operation, the Qin army passed the passive defense and counterattack, but only Qi State took the initiative to counterattack and kept chasing the Japanese pirates.
After destroying the Japanese pirates in their country, Zhu Tianpeng led the navy to the south to help his ally Zhu Ming and wipe out Takeda Shingen who was wandering in the Xu Huai land.
Takeda Shingen was originally fighting with Zhu Di, and it was difficult to solve the problem, but when he heard that King Zhu Tianpeng of Qi was leading more than 10,000 naval troops to encircle him, he was shocked.
Takeda Shingen knew that if he didn''t leave, he would probably not be able to leave, so he would not be able to take any robbery. He quickly ordered the remaining 4,000 troops to return and fled back to Japan by boat overnight.
Eight thousand elite Takeda family members had 4,000 left when they returned, and half of the casualties were killed or injured, but compared with other princes, it was already considered good.
Takeda Shingen was later affected by Tsuna Hojo. His luck was not as good as Takeda Shingen. He was ambushed by Chen Qingzhi while making great progress. Not only was the 5,000 troops wiped out, but his life was also lost on the Sanhan Peninsula.
At this point, all the Japanese princes who came to the Central Plains to rob, except Tokugawa Ieyasu and Akichi Mitsuhide, had been defeated. Among them, Mori Moto and Hojo Tsunazuki even made their lives.
The two princes, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Akichi Mitsuhide, were both in Yangzhou, and the total Japanese pirates in Yangzhou was as high as 17,000. Yangzhou was the largest Japanese pirates, so it was naturally the most difficult to clear them.
Most of the troops in the Eastern Wu were in Jiangxia to fight against Liu Xiu, and they did not pay enough attention to the Japanese pirates at the beginning, so the matter of suppressing Japanese was the slowest among all the princes.
Sun Jian sent his two sons, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, to suppress the bandits. Sun Ce was still fine. He hit Akechi Mitsuhide several times, but Sun Quan was indeed defeated directly to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and defeated Sun Ce all the advantages he had won.
The Japanese suppression of Wujun and Kuaiji counties was unable to succeed for a long time, and the number of people affected was increasing, even reaching nearly 300,000 at one point.
300,000 affected people are homeless and must be resettled as soon as possible, and they also have to spend a lot of money and food. This undoubtedly greatly increased the pressure on the Eastern Wu, making Sun Jian on the front line almost unable to withstand it.
And at this moment, another big thing happened, which became the last straw that crushed the Eastern Wu, and completely made the Eastern Wu lose the qualification to compete for Jiangxia.
