After receiving the information, Ishida Mitsunari understood, so he immediately said, "Xiao Ruxun really has doubts. He only sent a division to break the siege, and the main force is still behind. If we send out the ambush troops, Xiao Ruxun's main force will catch up from behind. How can we fight? We must wait for the main force of Xiao Ruxun's army to come up together, and then send out the troops! "
Masuda Nagamori hurriedly said, "But if we let the ten thousand Ming Army attack, our encirclement will not be able to hold them! If we attack from both sides, the surrounded Ming Army will definitely be rescued. The two armies will merge into one, and the number of people will increase greatly. We can't even handle five thousand of them. If there are ten thousand more, won't our stomachs burst? At that time, the Ming Army will break through the defense line and directly attack Tomaru-san, and we will all be captured alive! "
Ishida Mitsunari gritted his teeth and said, "We still have to wait! Our target is the main force of Xiao Ruxun! We will try our best to weaken Xiao Ruxun's main force and slow down his attack. As long as we slow down his attack, we can seize the initiative! Otherwise, if we lose Seoul, the whole war in Korea will be over! Our hard fighting for half a year and the blood of so many soldiers will be in vain! "
Masuda Nagamori grabbed Ishida Mitsunari's neck and said, "Are you going to watch Kuroda and Kobayakawa's troops be wiped out? If they are finished! Xiao Ruxun's main force and the ten thousand Ming Army will form a pincer attack. At that time, we will not send out the ambush troops! It will be a piece of fat meat! A piece of fat meat waiting for Xiao Ruxun to bite! "
Ishida Mitsunari pulled Masuda Nagamori's hand away.
"What can we do?! At this point, can we still retreat? If we abandon the terrain here, the front is a flat plain! Haven't you seen the cavalry of the Ming Army? Can we deal with them? Konishi, Kato Kiyomasa, Tachibana Muneshige, Otomo Yoshimitsu, Kato Mitsuyasu! They were all dead! Now, how many more people do you want to sacrifice?! If Taige finds out, he will go crazy! "
"If he's crazy, so be it! He had gone mad! To send troops to suppress the Ming Kingdom at this time, if he wasn't a lunatic, then who was? The Ming Nation is so big and has so many people. How are we going to fight them?! They had already lost so many people! How many more do you want to lose?! Those were all strong young men! It was an important labor force! How many more do you want to give up?! "
Masuda Nagamori seemed to have suffered a great mental shock. He said what he didn't dare to say before.
"I have never been in favor of sending troops to suppress the Ming Kingdom. That is simply unrealistic! But Taige insisted on fighting. You all followed him and said that we could fight. What was the result? To this day, in one month, the Ming Army has forced us to this point with forty to fifty thousand people. We have more than a hundred thousand elite soldiers and more than a hundred thousand people helping us with transportation and logistics. We can't defeat the Ming Army on land and we can't even deal with Lee Sun-sin on the sea. What else can we do?!
Even if we force Xiao Ruxun's main force to retreat today, they can still send more troops! The Ming Kingdom is so big and has so many people. If they casually send a hundred thousand people, not only will we not be able to protect North Korea, but our own land will also be threatened! At that time, what should we do?! What should we do?! Give me a solution! "
Ishida Mitsunari pointed at Masuda Nagamori in disbelief and said, "Now you said what was on your mind?! Now you said it!! What are you thinking? What's the use of saying this now? What's the point?! Do you want to commit seppuku?! Let me tell you! If you want to commit suicide, I won't do it for you! "
Masuda Nagamori still wanted to shout but was stopped by the extremely angry Yukita Xiujia.
"Enough! Now is not the time to quarrel! The soldiers are still fighting and you guys are actually quarreling here! It's meaningless to say such things! Do you want to wait for the Ming Army to come up the mountain and cut off our heads before you are satisfied?! "
Yukita Xiujia was deeply trusted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and was very loyal to him. He was grateful for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's kindness and would always put Toyotomi Hideyoshi's career first. He could not tolerate the existence of anyone who doubted Toyotomi Hideyoshi. However, the current situation was very obvious, and he could not afford to split the army at this time.
"Send some of our troops to entangle the Ming Army. At least before the ambush attack, we can't just watch Kuroda and Kobayakawa's troops be defeated. If that happens, we will be finished!"
Shoushu Masakie, the internal affairs expert sent by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to support the Yukita Xiujia, spoke up.
The atmosphere of the entire headquarters was stagnant. Everyone finally realized what they should do at the moment.
Masuda Nagamori also called back his reason. He knew that he had said something that he absolutely shouldn't have said. After the battle, whether he won or lost, he might face the desperate situation of death. So he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, pulled out his sword, and walked out. "I will lead the troops. If we can't defeat the Ming Army, I will kill myself to thank the Prime Minister!!"
No one stopped Masuda Nagamori. They all knew that this was the only way for Masuda Nagamori to survive.
Wu Weizhong's troops, who were fighting desperately in the encirclement of 20,000 Japanese troops, finally heard the familiar sound of war drums. The morale of the troops was greatly boosted. Wu Weizhong breathed a sigh of relief, raised his sword, and shouted, "The reinforcements have arrived! Everyone, follow me and fight to the death!! "
With the drive of Wu Weizhong and the excitement of the reinforcements, the Ming Army once again broke out a strong fighting force. Even in the face of a desperate situation, the soldiers led by Qi Jiguang would not retreat. They would only fight until they died. As long as their general was still fighting, as long as the general had not abandoned them, they had the motivation and courage to continue fighting.
Wu Weizhong had been fighting with Master Xiu Jing at the forefront and had never retreated. Since the general did not retreat, as soldiers, they had no reason to retreat. They could only follow the general and fight to the end. Even if they died in the silent battle and became a pension, they would not feel depressed or regret.
After the last round of bombardment, all the gunpowder in Wu Weizhong's troops had been used up. The cannons that posed the greatest threat to the Japanese troops could no longer be used. The iron cannons that were injured were also used up, causing the firing frequency to greatly decrease and were almost useless.
The shield formation and shield cars were shot full of holes and shattered. The ability to protect the Ming Army was greatly reduced. The casualties of the Ming Army began to rise. The Ming Army, who had lost the shield formation, could only use their own flesh and blood to build an indestructible "shield formation".
At this moment, the valiant general of the northwest, Ma Gui, led the Ma family's troops to kill. The 10,000 soldiers behind him formed a neat formation and charged toward the Japanese pirates with a murderous aura. In order to avoid hurting the Japanese, they directly charged with their spears. The bright spears pierced row by row, poking holes in the bodies of the Japanese pirates. Wu Weizhong led the troops to kill Ma Gui's troops. Ma Gui also tried his best to get close to Wu Weizhong's troops. For a moment, the Japanese pirates, who were sandwiched between the two armies, were attacked from both sides and suffered heavy casualties.
