In front of the Ming Army's camp, apart from the destroyed fence, there was only a mist of blood. There was not a single Japanese cavalryman standing on the battlefield. Only a few injured warhorses neighed sorrowfully on the battlefield, hoping to call back their masters who could not wake up.
The soldiers of the Ming Army at the frontline breathed a sigh of relief. A feeling of surviving a disaster swept through their hearts.
Luo Shangzhi also breathed a sigh of relief.
The cavalry of this archipelago country was probably not very easy to form, and the number of cavalrymen would not be too large. Therefore, they would not have too many cavalrymen, and they would not dare to casually send out cavalrymen. Therefore, the line of defense was stable. Luo Shangzhi looked at the Japanese army in the distance with the telescope. Seeing that there was no movement, he asked the Ming Army to seize the time to rest and reorganize, and seize the time to build a new fence to defend, not giving the Japanese any chance to take advantage of the loopholes.
This made Tokugawa Ieyasu very uncomfortable. He stood at the highest point, and could not see clearly. However, seeing that the black dots that attacked did not get up again, he also knew that his bravest and most loyal general had died in battle. His legs swayed, and he almost fell to the ground. The retainers beside him hurriedly came forward to support him.
"Master, what should we do now? Should we use the whole army to attack? "
"Master, should we send another group of people to attack and try?"
"Master …"
"Master …"
Tokugawa Ieyasu shook his head and said, "The general died in battle, and the morale has fallen to the bottom. We can't fight anymore. If we continue fighting, we will suffer more losses. Pass the order, retreat, and send someone to negotiate with the Ming Army. In short, we must make them give up this place! Then, send someone to summon the military counselor back. I have something important to discuss with him! "
"Yes!"
The retainers had no choice but to obey. But to be honest, they also felt sad when they saw Honda Tadakatsu die so miserably. The cannons of the Ming Army were too powerful. If they rushed in, they would die. Knowing that this was the result, no one wanted to die, right? Tokugawa Ieyasu was about to conquer the world, but he had to die in this place. It was not worth it.
However, all of them could feel that with Honda Tadakatsu's death, Tokugawa Ieyasu's journey to conquer the world seemed to have been shrouded in a shadow that was hard to see, but it was definitely there.
When the Japanese army gave the order to retreat, the generals at the front line heaved a sigh of relief. The soldiers also heaved a sigh of relief. In the face of such a ferocious enemy, and with their number one general dying in front of them, it was impossible for them to say that they were not afraid. Now that the Japanese army had given the order to retreat, their hearts were filled with a sense of fluke. They cursed this hateful army and prayed that they would not cross paths with them again — they could not afford such a loss.
Luo Shangzhi watched from afar as the Japanese army slowly retreated from the battlefield. Only then did he relax. To be honest, if a thousand soldiers had charged into the Vanguard Barracks, it was likely that the Vanguard Barracks would have been breached. It seemed that without the protection of the Shieldbearers and Pikemen, the Musketeers were still lacking when it came to fighting against the cavalry.
"Is there anything wrong with the messenger?"
Luo Shangzhi asked the soldier beside him.
"He left two hours ago. I'm guessing that he should have bumped into one or two squads by now, and they should be rushing towards us."
The soldier replied.
"Hopefully, it's Li Rusong and Liu Chi. If they come, we'll be safe. Those two lunatics are eager for battle, and they've been looking for Japanese pirates everywhere to kill. I don't even know how many of them they've killed. If they come, we'll be completely safe. I wonder if these Japanese pirates will be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth."
This was what Luo Shangzhi was looking forward to.
As if hearing Luo Shangzhi's expectations, the reinforcements that Luo Shangzhi sent out met Liu Chi's troops and Li Rusong's troops. After reporting the news, they met Xiao Ruxun's headquarters. Therefore, all the troops of the Ming Army gathered at Luo Shangzhi's barracks. They brought along the looted treasures and supplies. They were pushed by the captured Japanese youths in large carts.
The discipline of the Southern soldiers was better. The Southern soldiers led by Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi had strict discipline, and there was no looting. However, Liu Chi's multinational troops and Li Rusong's Liaodong soldiers were different. They killed people and looted things on the road. They were eager for battle and achievement. The two troops competed in killing and looting. If they couldn't find the Japanese troops, they would kill the civilians. Anyway, they didn't see the Japanese as human beings.
Xiao Ruxun's headquarters was a little more purposeful. They killed all the old and young, and captured all the young men and women to do hard labor. Those who dared to resist were skinned and pulled out in front of all the captives as a deterrent. In a few seconds, this group of civilians was scared out of their wits. They obediently worked for the army and were as obedient as they could be. In the face of the strong desire of many of his subordinates, Xiao Ruxun turned a blind eye to the soldiers raping the female captives and pretended that he didn't see it.
On the battlefield, this kind of thing was too normal. In order to boost morale, the generals would do anything. After all, they were not the people's soldiers. How could they expect the illiterate soldiers to have the awareness to get along with the people? Xiao Ruxun didn't want to stop them. As long as they obeyed the order, it would be fine. He would take the blame, as long as they didn't do it in the Daming Territory.
But when the exact information came, Xiao Ruxun didn't care about anything else. He immediately gave the order to be ready in an hour. No matter if they were eating, peeing, or relieving themselves, those who were eating had to eat quickly, those who were relieving themselves had to pee quickly, and those who were relieving themselves had to pull up their pants quickly. If they didn't get ready in an hour, they would get 40 lashes!
The soldiers under Xiao Ruxun's command were all used to Admiral Xiao's way of leading the troops. Admiral Xiao didn't care about small things, but he cared about big things. He didn't care about some of the unwritten rules in the army, but if you didn't comply with his orders, he would teach you a lesson. The arrogant Li Rusong was now obediently listening to his orders, and the ferocious Liu Gu's multinational troops were now also obedient. From this, it could be seen that Admiral Xiao was very skilled in leading troops.
Under Xiao Ruxun's order, the 20,000 troops immediately rushed toward the destination without any sloppiness. In half a day's time, the vanguard troops arrived at Luo Shangzhi's main camp. When Xiao Ruxun arrived, the battle-hungry Li Rusong and Liu Gu's troops had already arrived and were setting up camp.
The 35,000 Ming Army's expeditionary force had all gathered, but the Japanese army still didn't know about it.
Luo Shangzhi proudly displayed the results of his battle, and brought Xiao Ruxun to see the mountain of silver ore. Xiao Ruxun carefully examined the silver ore, and walked one round around each mine. He was also shocked by the amount of silver ore stored here.
"Admiral is really a godly person. You can even say this accurately. No wonder this small country has the courage to start a war with us. It turns out that they have so much silver to support them. If the Daming had this, it would be enough for us to destroy this small country three to five times, so that they won't be noisy again! Admiral, am I right?! "
