Chapter 2373 Uesugi Kenno surrendered to Qin
Chapter 2370: Uesugi Kenno surrenders to Qin
Why did the Qin army suddenly withdraw?
The reason is very simple, it is that it doesn’t want to make wedding dresses for Ming Jun.
The elite of Takeda and Ida were annihilated by Wu Qi and Wang Jian, and the remaining 80% of the troops of the two families were also restrained.
The Ming army raided the rear of the two families at this time, and wasn’t it obvious that they came to seize the fruits of the Qin army’s victory?
Although the Qin army did not look down on the Northeast region where Takeda Ida was located when dividing the chassis, it was one thing that I looked down on. It was another thing that your Ming army would come and rob without even saying hello.
Both Takeda Ida''s army on the front line were on the defensive. Without taking the initiative, even if Wu Qi and Wang Jian commanded the army, it would be difficult for him to defeat him in the short term.
And as long as the Qin army is still on the front line, Takeda and Ida will not dare to mobilize troops from the front line and go to support the rear.
If the Qin army continues to stalemate with the two families, the final result will be a fight between the snipe and the clam, which will benefit the Ming army fishermen.
Wu Qi and Wang Jian were neither stupid, so they naturally would not do this, so they both chose to withdraw their troops on their own initiative.
The two of them were just halfway through the retreat and received Zhou Yu''s order, and they also asked them to withdraw their troops.
Obviously, Zhou Yu and Guo Jia also saw Zhu Di''s sinister intentions, so they ordered Wu Qi and Wang Jian to withdraw, and did not allow the Ming army to use the Qin army to benefit from the fisherman.
In addition, Zhou Yu had another intention, which was to transfer Wu Qi and Wang Jian to participate in the China War between Vietnam and Vietnam.
To be honest, Zhou Yu was embarrassed to transfer Wu Qi and Wang Jian back.
Wu Qi and Wang Jian''s partial troops had only a total force of only 10,000, but they had almost wiped out 70,000 invading enemies.
Zhou Yu held the main force of the Qin army with 20,000 Qin army and nearly 40,000 Qin army, but was blocked in Chunri Mountain City, and nearly 15,000 prisoners of war were lost, but he failed to capture Chunri Mountain City.
After this comparison, Zhou Yu seems to be too mediocre.
Of course, Zhou Yu didn''t care about this. He knew that the main reason why the main force was blocked in Kasuga Mountain City and could not be saved was because this city was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The Kasumi Mountain City is built against the mountain. It is not only the most powerful city in the Uesugi family, but also one of the best city in Japan. Even if it is placed in the Central Plains, it is a city that is difficult to attack.
Of course, with the departure of Susano and Kasuto, the morale of the defenders in Kasugayama Castle has dropped drastically, and their defense has naturally been greatly reduced.
Zhou Yu seized the opportunity to command the army to attack with all their might. After two days of siege, he finally captured the Uesugi No. 1 strong city, but he also paid the price of five thousand casualties of the Qin army.
A mere spring mountain city caused the Qin army to lose 20,000 Qin army, which was more casualties than the previous Qin army.
This shows that the Uesugi family is different from other forces in Japan. It is really difficult to fight, even more difficult than the princes of the Central Plains.
After Kasugayama Castle was captured, the defender Kashizaki Kei''s family was captured, and three of the Qianxin''s seven-hand group were killed in battle, while the other four generals were captured, and all Uesugi''s members were killed in battle.
As for the 40,000 defenders in the city, 15,000 were killed in battle and 25,000 were surrendered.
Zhou Yu broke through Chunri Mountain City and opened up a channel to attack Vietnam and China. He naturally had to lead his army to invade Vietnam and China.
However, there are also strong mountain cities in Vietnam. If the attack is strong, there will be heavy casualties. This requires a large number of Japanese surrendered troops to be cannon fodder.
As for the 25,000 surrendered troops in Kasugayama Castle and even all other prisoners of war from the Uesugi family, Zhou Yu promised to treat them well before surrendering, so obviously they cannot be allowed to be cannon fodder for the time being.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yu was caught in a situation where cannon fodder was insufficient, and at this moment, the army of Wu Qi and Wang Jian came into his eyes.
When the troops were divided into battles, Wu Qi and Wang Jian each had 5,000 troops. Now after a series of battles, the number of troops not only did not decrease, but also fought more and more.
In addition to the 4,300 Qin troops, Wu Qi also had 1,500 Takeda surrendered troops under him.
Wang Jian had 3800 Qin troops and 12,000 Ida surrendered troops under him.
The surrendered army of the Uesugi family cannot be used as cannon fodder, but the surrendered army of Takeda and the Ida family are obviously not listed here. Isn’t this the best candidate for cannon fodder?
Ready-made cannon fodder is not used in vain.
This is also the second intention of Zhou Yu to transfer Wu Qi and Wang Jian back.
When Wu Qi and Wang Jian entered the Chunri Mountain City, Zhou Yu had already conquered half of Vietnam, but lost another 7,000 Qin Xiejun.
After learning about the battle situation, Wang Jian couldn''t help but exclaim: "Kenshi Uesugi is worthy of being the name of the Japanese military god, and it is indeed difficult enough."
Wu Qi nodded in agreement.
The way Kenshi Uesugi defended his life is different from that of Takeda Shingen Ida Masaru.
She mobilized all the military and civilians across the country, from seventy-year-olds to ten-year-old children, all involved, and the whole people''s war was fought.
Even in the Central Plains, such situations are rare.
This was how Qin Wen used to repel the invasion of the Huns, and then the Jin army was later created.
Nowadays, even if you search the entire country of Japan, no other force can do this.
Only Kenshin Uesugi, who is supported enough by the people, can the whole country unite and resist aggression.
This is not the first time Kenshi Uesugi has done this.
After winning three Honshu wars, Oda Nobunaga sent troops to the Uesugi family every time, but failed and had no choice but to withdraw his troops due to too much resistance.
This time, Kenshin Uesugi adopted the same method, but her opponent was no longer Oda Nobunaga, but Zhou Yu of the Qin Dynasty.
Faced with this kind of national battle to the death, even if Wu Qi and Wang Jian, who were commanding the army with higher command, would not be much better than Zhou Yu.
The commander''s personal command ability is no longer of great effect in this situation, because no matter how much you command, you will have to attack hard to break the city.
I have to say that Sado Jinshan’s largest cake is obviously not so easy to swallow. If you want to get it, you must bite the hardest bone of the Uesugi family.
But even if you force yourself into the Qin army, you still have to break a few teeth if you want to forcefully bite this bone.
Zhou Yu had just landed in Echigo Kingdom and realized that the Uesugi family was difficult to deal with. It was precisely because of this that he did not massacre the city as a deterrent, because not only did this not scare the Uesugi military and civilians, but would also completely anger him and carry out more fierce resistance.
In order to reduce the resistance of the Uesugi family, Zhou Yu decided to adopt Guo Jia''s strategy, not to massacre the city, not to harass civilians, treat prisoners of war well, do not use prisoners of war as cannon fodder, and accept surrendered generals, which is also the main reason why the Uesugi family''s surrendered army as cannon fodder.
Guo Jia’s strategy is indeed useful. Seeing that the Qin army really complied with its promises, the Uesugi family''s military and civilians did not massacre the city after capturing the city, and treated prisoners of war well, their resistance to the Qin army was indeed reduced a lot.
It is also true that Zhou Yu conquered the second half of Vietnam, and the casualties he suffered would be only 7,000, otherwise it would be more than doubled.
Although the resistance of the Uesugi family is gradually decreasing, it is still a huge loss for the Qin army, even if it is the surrendered army.
So in order to minimize the losses, Zhou Yu decided not to attack other mountain cities, but to attack the capital of the Uesugi family, Toyama City.
Toyama Castle, just by listening to the name, you can tell that it is a mountain city built against the mountain. As the capital of the Uesugi family, with Uesugi Kenshin personally taking charge, it must be another city like Kasugi Mountain City, which is even easier to defend and difficult to attack.
Before Wu Qi and Wang Jian crossed China today, Zhou Yu cleared all obstacles to Toyama City.
After Wu Qi and Wang Jian met, Zhou Yu filled up their troops, and then led 26,000 Qin troops and 45,000 Qin troops to the city of General Fushan, and directly surrounded three and one of them. Zhou Yu, Wu Qi and Wang Jian each surrounded one side.
Just as Zhou Yu was preparing to attack the city, he received a request for help from the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu.
It turned out that after the Wei, Song and Wu three kingdoms attacked the Kinki Plain, no one could defeat Yamata Orochi and Shuitun Boy, and the casualties he paid became increasingly serious, so he wanted to use the Qin army to defeat Yamata Orochi in the future.
As for Shuitun Boy, although he is also very strong, he is obviously not as strong as the Yamata Orochi, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance itself can deal with it.
After receiving the request for help from the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu summoned all the generals under his command to discuss whether he should send someone to support him.
Most generals led by Lu Bu had opposition to support them.
In their opinion, it is more in line with the interests of the Qin Dynasty to make both the Wei, Song, Wu and the Oda family fight to the point of losing both sides.
The greater the losses caused by the Wei, Song and Wu Kingdom in Japan, the smaller the resistance of the Qin army to attack the Central Plains in the future, so there is no need to help the Three Kingdoms deal with the Oda family.
However, a small number of people led by military advisors Guo Jia, Wu Qi and Wang Jian support sending people to support the Three Kingdoms coalition forces.
The reason is also very simple. The Oda family is the biggest enemy of the Qin Dynasty in Japan, and it is obviously not so easy to control both sides in a defeat.
Once the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu were defeated by the Oda family, the Qin Dynasty would have to fight against the Oda family alone, and the price it would pay would be even greater.
But if the Oda family was defeated by the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wu, even if the Three Kingdoms could occupy a large amount of chassis in Japan, when the Qin army ended its cultivation in the future, sent troops and conquered the Central Plains, these territories would definitely be from the Qin.
Moreover, Daqin originally planned to give up some of the benefits in Japan to stabilize the three allies of Wei, Song and Wu, and let them put aside some of their vigilance against Daqin.
Zhou Yu was convinced by Guo Jia and decided to send a powerful general to support him, but the Qin army also had a tough battle to fight, so he definitely could not send the strongest Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, so he ordered Dian Wei Xuchu to support the Three Kingdoms coalition forces.
After Dian Wei and Xu Chu left, Zhou Yu immediately ordered the attack on Fushan City.
In the first day of the siege, the Qin army lost two thousand Qin army, but they did not even climb the city tower, but only filled the moat of Toyama City.
The next day, Zhou Yu received two good news.
Xu Huang, who guarded the six western countries, completed the training of 50,000 surrendered troops, and was able to transfer these 50,000 surrendered troops to him for battle.
Yu Jin, who was left on Jiuzhou Island, also completed the preliminary training of this Japanese army after convening 30,000 Qin army on the spot.
In other words, Zhou Yu had another 80,000 Qin Xiejun, which could be used as cannon fodder for siege.
Most importantly, the two territories occupied by the Qin army, a total of nine countries, have basically stabilized and cannon fodder cannon fodder cannon fodder for the Qin army.
In other words, Zhou Yu will never be short of cannon fodder in the future.
After learning about this, Zhou Yu decisively transferred 30,000 Qin Xiejun from Xu Huang''s command and 10,000 Qin Xiejun from Yu Jin''s command.
In addition, Zhou Yu also ordered Xu Huang and Yu Jin to recruit another 20,000 troops as reserve troops, while maintaining local rule.
40,000 Qin Xiejun was transported to China by the navy and participated in the offensive and defensive battle in Toyama City. The total strength of the Qin army also reached 110,000, of which more than 80,000 were the Qin Xiejun alone.
Zhou Yu not only did not hide the news of the arrival of reinforcements, but also made a lot of publicity. At the same time, he spread Shintoism that had been destroyed, and Susano and Kazuto had both escaped, hoping to use rumors to attack the morale of the defenders.
But Kenno Uesugi had been guarding against Zhou Yu''s move and took precautions in advance, directly declaring that the Qin army would spread rumors to disintegrate the defenders'' resistance, so don''t believe anything the Qin army said.
Since Kenshin Uesugi gave the vaccination in advance and had strong control over Toyama Castle, Zhou Yu''s rumor strategy did not play any role.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu could only continue to attack at any cost. Anyway, this is also the killing of each other between the Japanese, and even if there are too many Japanese, he will not feel sorry for him.
After a full five-day strong attack, the Qin army lost 20,000 Qin army, killing 4,000 people a day on average. Such casualties are of great importance.
Even Kenshi Uesugi thought Zhou Yu would slow down the offensive and let the defenders take a breath, but they received news that 40,000 Qin Xiejun came to aid.
At this time, Kenshino Uesugi realized that the rumors spread by Zhou Yu were all true, which also made Kenshino Uesugi both indignant and desperate.
Indignantly, he was so greedy for life and fearful of death. He turned his back to the Qin army so easily, and also helped the Qin army attack their compatriots, and even treated their compatriots more ruthlessly than foreigners.
Desperate that Zhou Yu will no longer lack troops to attack the city in the future. With the continuous consumption of the Qin Xiejun, the number of defenders will become smaller and smaller. Sooner or later, they will follow in the footsteps of Oto and Maori.
The Qin army''s Qin army can be replenished continuously, but the defenders in Toyama City cannot be replenished.
There are only 70,000 people in Toyama City, and all the blue signs have been incorporated into the army, and the only ones are the elderly, weak, women and children.
Although the elderly and the weak can also defend the city, Kenshino Uesugi really couldn''t bear it and let the elderly, weak, women and children go to the battlefield to die.
As for this moment, Kenshino Uesugi realized that it was meaningless to continue to resist, because the Japanese were killing each other.
For the Qin army, in addition to consuming some food, grass and arms, their own losses were actually minimal, and even food, grass and arms were stolen from Japan.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Kenshi Uesugi decided to negotiate with Zhou Yu. After all, she still has some capital in her hands now. If she has no capital at all, she will really not even have the qualification to negotiate with Zhou Yu.
After three days of negotiations, Kenshin Uesugi finally opened the city gate and took the initiative to surrender to the Qin army.
