The raiding army is a beheading army and an important part of the entire strategic planning.

Xin Qiji believed that the Ming army would not be able to fight too quickly, and Ping Qingsheng, as a leader of the central government, had certain mobilization capabilities. Once he mobilized too many troops, the Ming army would have to pay a considerable price to win.

In order not to give Ping Qingsheng time to mobilize the main force of the army to resist the Ming army, in order to avoid possible large-scale casualties of the Ming army, Xin Qiji decided to send a 10,000 infantry and cavalry to land in Daluntianpo under the cover of the navy.

The mission of this army was to break through the country of Sejin, directly threaten Heian Kyo, force the Japanese head of state to transfer, or put it into a certain degree of chaos, and even worse, directly destroy them.

Heianjing is located in a basin, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and has natural danger protection. Only when facing the country of Sejin, the door is open for easy access, and the terrain is very superior.

Of course, as long as you break through the Kingdom of Katsugi, you can reach Heianjing directly without any obstacles.

Xin Qiji believed that the best result of this battle was the successful beheading, the collapse of the head of the army, the nationwide resistance of Japan lost unified command, and fell into chaos in which each place fought on its own. Even under the premise of the Ming army's attack, there were still people fighting each other and killing each other.

The Ming Dynasty's action to defeat Japan will end successfully with lower losses.

This was a dangerous move. Su Yuan had objected to this, believing that this was too risky and might not have done so.

Although Japan is weak, it only takes 10,000 troops to attack the capital of the other side. I am afraid that it will face more than three times the opponent's troops. It is always a very risky thing to fight more than less.

This is the first point.

Secondly, although Kong Zhende was born in land warfare, he has been studying water warfare for many years and is not proficient in land warfare. He may not be able to handle this arduous task.

To put it bluntly, he didn't trust Kong Zhende to fight this battle well.

In response, Xin Qiji immediately asked Kong Zhende to ask him about the Ming Dynasty's skeleton and cavalry tactics. Kong Zhende answered clearly one by one, and there was no incorrectness. It can be seen that he has not slacked off in tactical research for many years.

Su Jue still felt sorry for his old subordinates, hoping that Xin Qiji could change his tactics and dispatch more troops to attack, such as two divisions, or he would lead his troops to carry out this tactics himself.

"My army was unexpectedly rushing to its capital. Can they react? This is the first point. Also, since the war started, do you think they can understand the overall situation on the battlefield?"

Xin Qiji asked Su Jue in this way.

Su Jue thought about it and gave an answer that suited the reality.

He didn't think the other party could react, nor did he think the other party could control the overall situation.

"That's it. Our key is to be quick, accurate, fast and ruthless, quickly implement tactics, accurately attack the key points, and achieve the goal. We must kill the other party before they can react. We must directly take down the other party's capital before they have time to concentrate a large number of troops in the capital."

Xin Qiji insisted on his decision to fight this beheading battle, to defeat the Ping clan regime as a headless fly, and completely lose the possibility of general mobilization.

To this end, Xin Qiji also decided to equip the 41st Division of the 14th Army that was carrying out the mission with a sufficient number of firearm troops to assist.

Due to the need for rapid raids, the general cannon cannot be installed, so they are replaced by chariots and general cannons. The latest cannon car developed by the Ministry of Industry has strong maneuver power and carries lighter chariots and general cannons, which can cooperate with the troops to achieve higher speed maneuvers.

Although Su Jue still disagreed and did not believe that Kong Zhende could complete the task, Xin Qiji's strong suggestion could only accept it.

Kong Zhende was born in the land war. Later, when the Ming army had the need for water war, he was dispatched as a naval general and made great achievements. However, he was definitely not unfamiliar with army tactics. The existence of the naval marines made them, such as the navy generals, familiar with infantry and cavalry tactics.

It's just not that big.

A 10,000-person infantry cavalry did not exceed Kong Zhende's ability limit.

After he commanded the navy with his skillful tactical command ability to destroy the Japanese navy, he commanded the infantry and cavalry troops to land, rectify logistics supplies and artillery, and then the army moved forward.

The cavalry reconnaissance and the road was opened, and the infantry followed closely, siegeing cities and camps all the way, and the progress was smooth.

The country of Sezuki controls Heian Kyoto's portal, and has always been valued by Heian Kyomori. It has set up many defense facilities and troops here, and has set up many obstacles on the road to Heian Kyoto, just to protect Heian Kyo's safety.

At this moment, the army of the state of Sejin had learned that the Ming army had launched an attack on Japan, so the army was relatively nervous and had already made combat readiness orders and was ready to dispatch various places to support at any time.

Therefore, Kong Zhende faced a relatively elite, well-prepared and large number of Japanese defenders.

But Kong Zhende did not think this task was difficult.

His first target was Japan's former capital, Namba Kyo. After taking the port, the huge movement had already made Namba Kyo's defenders vigilant. He calmly tidied his army, especially letting the firearms troops rectify, and followed the army and launched an attack on the Japanese garrison according to the secret spies' directions.

Facing the Japanese camp, Kong Zhende bombarded the Japanese camp with artillery. The Japanese army had never seen such fierce attack weapons as artillery, so they had no way to counterattack. They were in chaos and fled in scattered areas.

The number of artillery and ammunition in Kong Zhende's hand was very large, enough for him to squander his money, so he was very calm and let the gunners bombard him until the opponent completely collapsed.

After a bombardment, the infantry went forward to cover the killing. The musketeers cooperated in the formation. Once they found that there were still Japanese troops, the musketeers immediately fired and made the first wave of attacks. The final shot was handed over to the sword shield and the spearmen.

In the first battle after landing, Kong Zhende did not leave any "good impression" on the Japanese army. The three thousand defenders guarding Namba Jing were wiped out under the attack of Ming army artillery, and the important passage was lost in three incense sticks.

Later, the Ming army attacked Nanba Jing and bombarded the city walls with artillery. The defenders were unable to resist and were soon captured by the Ming army. Nanba Jing was then occupied by the Ming army.

But this is not important. Kong Zhende's goal is not Namba Kyo, but Heian Kyo.

Kong Zhende rectified the army, leaving a small number of troops stationed in Namba Jing to maintain logistics, and he led his main force to continue to attack in the direction of Heian Jing.

He rushed all the way, encountered brave defenders and fleeing defenders along the way. Kong Zhende won all five battles, defeated the Japanese army of the Shijin Kingdom, broke through the Shijin national defense line, entered the basin where Heianjing was located, and the troops headed straight to Heianjing.

The total time is five days.

Another day was because it was raining, so Kong Zhende asked the army to rest and protect the firearms and gunpowder without attacking, but this did not attract a surprise attack from the Japanese army, but received news that the defenders of the state of Shejin were retreating in full.

It seems that Heian Kyo had already learned of the Ming army's landing in the country of Sejin, and knew that the defenders of Sejin were defeated, so they quickly asked the remaining defeated generals to retreat and prepare to arrange a second line of defense.

Kong Zhende knew that the fighter plane was right in front of him and could not be missed, so he decisively advanced his troops and did not intend to retreat. He decided to face the current Japanese defenders near Heian Kyo.

He was convinced that in the short time since the war began, the army that Heian Kyo could use was definitely not enough to make him helpless.

Kong Zhende's judgment is correct.

On the Heian Kyo, although Hei Kiyomori issued a mobilization order and began to prepare for war, it only took twenty days in total from the beginning of the mobilization order to Kong Zhende defeating the Sojin Kingdom.

After learning that the Ming army had invaded the Kingdom of Shejin, Ping Qing was shocked and immediately ordered people to rectify the army. He learned that he could use only 30,000 mobile troops that had entered combat readiness.
