Chapter 1186 Hunting Shikoku Island
The inner city of Kyushu Island Prefecture, originally this city was the main city of Otomo Sorin of Kyushu Daming, but it had been captured by Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, and Otomo Sorin was exiled to Honshu Island.
The Fubo Army Navy gathered some fleets here and planned to attack Shiguo Island, one of the four islands in Japan.
The Seto Inland Sea is separated by Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, and the Seto Inland Sea is still calm.
The Crown Prince Chu Wu led his troops to the inner city of the palace and met with Zhou Yu and Lu Xun. Their troops were responsible for sweeping the four countries.
"The population of Shikoku Island is much smaller than that of Kyushu Island, only one million... The only Daming Changzong, our family member, has only tens of thousands of soldiers and many casualties in the Kyushu battle, so the guard of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince should be enough to sweep Shikoku Island. We send His Royal Highness to Shikoku Island, and the next battle depends on His Royal Highness himself performs."
Zhou Yu briefly analyzed the forces of Siguo Island. The main task of Fubo Army was to protect Chu Wu's army from boarding Siguo Island, and then Chu Wu conquered Siguo Island alone.
The population distribution of the four islands in Japan is not evenly balanced. Shikoku Island and Hokkaido are small in population, followed by Kyushu Island, and the largest population is Honshu Island, and the populations of the mountains and plains of Honshu Island are also very different.
The rise of Oda Nobunaga is related to Oda Nobunaga's basic base in the Kinki region, which has a large population.
"Conquer Shikoku Island and leave it to me."
Chu Wu attacked the Changzong-wo family of Shiguo Island, while the main force of Bai Qi, Yue Fei, Le Yi and other military generals attacked Honshu Island.
The nearest Honshu Island Daine to Kyushu Island is the Maori family.
The Japanese daimyos tried their best to avoid it, but Bai Qi and the others did not want to give the daimyos a chance to breathe.
After occupying all the cities in Kyushu Island, the Xia army took a brief rest and immediately launched the next round of offensive to seize whales and tigers on the four islands of Japan.
"The reason why Shikoku Island is Shikoku Island is that there are four ruling countries on the island, Abo, Sangi, Iyu, and Tosa, which are equivalent to four prefectures. Because they are basically mountainous, the population of each prefecture is not large. The Daming Nagasomume, who occupy Shikoku Island, has a special army of troops "one-leader", which is considered an elite force. It was severely damaged in the Kyushu War, and the remaining fewer than three or four thousand. Perhaps what should be careful should be the rugged terrain in the local area."
Before going to war, Zhuge Liang once again supplemented the information for Chu Wu.
Bai Qi added a group of troops to the Eastern Palace Guard, and Chu Wu led about 40,000 people to attack Siguo Island.
For Chu Wu, it should not be difficult for 40,000 people to conquer the Siguo Island, which has a population of only about one million.
"Try to complete the attack on the four islands of Japan before the cold winter comes, otherwise it will be more difficult to replenish supplies in the cold winter."
Chu Wu is calculating time.
In addition to the Xia army on the southern expedition, the Xia army on the eastern and western expeditions tried their best to avoid delaying the war until the cold winter.
Generals from the Eastern Palace Guards boarded the ship one after another and were escorted by Fubo's army.
The Fubo army has controlled the sea control of the entire Seto Inland Sea.
This is the benefit of the powerful navy, occupying the sea power, taking the initiative, and coming and going freely.
Not long ago, the Fubo army broke out in a small-scale naval battle with the Japanese Navy. The Japanese Anzhai Ship was severely scolded by the Dafu ship. Then, the Japanese Navy could only use the tortuous coastline to carry out guerrilla and saoran, and did not dare to confront the Fubo army head-on.
"Brother Chu Wu, in another year or two, I will follow you to fight."
Sun Shangxiang followed him to the inner city of the mansion. He originally wanted to go to Siguo Island together, but was forcibly driven away by Chu Wu.
So much so that Sun Shangxiang protested that she believed that her archery skills were still above Chu Wu.
Chu Wu just thought Sun Shangxiang said this on purpose, and wanted to intervene in and out of the Siguo Island team, and did not think that Sun Shangxiang's archery skills would surpass him.
The maximum limit of Chu Wu's military power exceeds 90, and in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, how many female generals can have more than 90?
Probably no more than 20 people.
"I didn't lie to you!"
Sun Shangxiang was swaying and was very dissatisfied with Chu Wu's despise herself, but she was still coaxed and deceived by Chu Wu and rushed back to the Central Plains.
"Xiangxiang finally got back."
Chu Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind Sun Shangxiang is the Jiangzuo forces, and Chu Wu has to take care of her feelings.
Having a high position is not completely without restraint. On the contrary, rulers must strive to maintain the original order, and often they are forced to make compromises and not be able to act exactly as they wish.
"snort……"
As the Eastern Palace Weishu, Lu Lingqi saw it and couldn't help but snort, a little dissatisfied.
The East Palace Guard went to Shikoku Island under the escort of 400 warships of all sizes.
Shikoku Island, the main city of our Nagatozo tribe, Okatoki Castle, the governor of our Nagatozo tribe, convened many old families, and the atmosphere was solemn.
After the Xia army achieved the domination of Jiuzhou, it gathered troops in the inner city of the palace, mostly aiming to conquer the Siguo Islands.
"The four countries have a small population and weak troops. How can they resist the Heavenly Division?"
"The lord may use mountain roads and mountain cities to resist more. When his troops and food are exhausted, he may retreat in the face of difficulties."
"This is the only way to do it for the present."
There is nothing wrong with Changzong's Yuanqin.
Although he dominated Shikoku Island, Shikoku Island in "Lord" has only one million people. Without the help of Honshu Island Daming, it is a fantasy to want to fight head-on with the siege army coming from the Central Plains.
The Shikoku Island daimyos are far inferior to the Kyushu Island daimyos, and even more different than the Honshu Island daimyos, which is just a little better than Hokkaido.
"The only thing you can rely on is mountain."
After some serious consideration, Changzong's army went to the family and the retainers, and finally came to a consensus conclusion: when fighting head-on, it was no match for no matter what. It could only rely on the mountainous terrain and mountain cities to consume the Xia army, allowing the Central Plains dynasty's conquering army to retreat due to shortage of food.
Despite this, the Yuan-Qingzong's army, the Yuan-Qing-Changzong, notified the city lords and retainers, reminding them that the Xia army might attack Shiguo Island and put them on guard in advance. Once the Xia army landed on Shiguo Island, then inform other daimyos immediately and be prepared.
Our troops in Changzong can still use tens of thousands of troops as mobile troops to support all the city lords who surrendered to our troops in Changzong at any time.
"May God Amaterasu protect him."
The first relative of Changzong, my family can only pray.
The East Palace Guard, which was fighting against Shiguo Island, was on the way, and Chu Wu once again refreshed the distance of his expedition.
Accumulating military achievements is crucial to consolidating the position of the Eastern Palace.
Lu Lingqi was seasick again and was persevering with amazing perseverance.
Tachiha Chiyo was forced to take a team of Takaha family's retainers to fight against the Daming of Shikoku Island.
She was a little worried that she would not go back to Lihua Mountain City in the future.
"The population of Shikoku Island is less than half that of Xiacheng, so it should be easier this time."
Chu Wu muttered.
It is not difficult to conquer Kyushu Island, but the Daming people of Honshu Island gathered on Kyushu Island, and their troops exceeded one million, so it was a bit tricky.
Once these big names are separated, they will easily be defeated by each one. After all, their troops are too scattered, with each city ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of people, which is extremely unbalanced.
The lords and samurai on the coast of Shikoku Island received a reminder from Nagato's metropolitan Sora, who sent villagers from Zuo-ku or fishing villages to patrol the coast and ordered that they immediately report the Xia army's fleet if they were discovered.
In the southern part of Yiyu Kingdom, Chu Wu's fleet was planned to land on the territory of the Xiyuanji family.
The Xiyuanji family is a daimyo name in Shikoku Island. In fact, the population of the rulers includes villagers. I don’t know if there are more than 100,000 people who have been surrendered to the dynasty of our family.
There is no difference between dealing with this level of daimyo and beating vegetables.
In a fishing village under the jurisdiction of Xiyuan Temple, local fishermen who went out to sea were horrified to find a huge fleet of ships appearing on the sea level. The dozens of meters long Dafu ship was bulging with sails, and it was vast and covered with the sea.
"monster!"
"What monster, this is the navy from the Central Plains!"
"Damn it, you shouldn't go out to sea at this time!"
Among the fishermen are players, they can tell that this is a big lucky ship unique to the Central Plains, with a pale face.
The fishing boats turned around and fled, trying to get ashore to avoid the Xia navy.
The navy general Lu Meng, who was responsible for escorting Chu Wu's troops along the way, was unmoved.
With the mobilization of tens of thousands of people, it is basically difficult to hide their whereabouts. Even if they are noticed by the daimyos of Shikoku Island, it is probably nothing to say, because Shikoku Island's strength is too weak.
Lu Meng escorted a fishing village along the coast. The Dafu boat could not get close to the fishing village, otherwise it might be stranded.
The Eastern Palace Guard rowed wooden oars and easily captured the fishing village.
Forty thousand soldiers came ashore, with golden swords and iron horses, and the fishermen were trembling.
They are just a small fishing village with hundreds of people, so there is no need to mobilize 40,000 troops to suppress them.
Lu Meng said: "A small team of ships will be left to meet him at the end, and every once in a while, food and grass will be transported here."
"It's time for General Lu."
Chu Wu sent Lu Meng away from the inner city of the mansion and counted the troops who had arrived ashore.
Royal Wild Boar, Yang Xingmi, Zu Dashou, and Su Lie still followed Chu Wu, and there were also Lu Lingqi, Liehua Qianyu, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Yueying, which were relatively dreamy lines.
The 40,000 soldiers were all veterans who survived the Kyushu War.
After the joint battle and training during the rest, Chu Wu's Qie Xue army reached level 25.
"The city to the north is the main castle of Nishimoriji family, Kurose Castle, and there is an Omori Castle to the south. The number of guards in each city is estimated to be only one or two thousand. Therefore, the troops are divided into two groups, one along the north and the other along the south, and the entire Shikoku Island is taken as soon as possible."
After Chu Wu came ashore, he immediately divided his troops.
If the opponent is a strong enemy, it may be more risky to divide the troops, but this time it is obvious that he is coming to Shikoku Island to hunt, and he should take Shikoku Island as fast as possible.
The terrain of the island is often mountainous in the middle and the coast is relatively flat, so the two groups of soldiers can just sweep the entire island and finally converge.
Chu Wu led the troops on the south side, while Su Lie, Zu Dashou and the royal wild boar led the troops on the north side.
When Chu Wu arrived at Jiuzhou Island, Bai Qi, Yue Fei and Le Yi's army, under the escort of Fubo Army, crossed the Strait of Maguan and set foot on the Honzhou Island!
The Strait of Makkan is also the place where the Treaty of Makkan is signed. Opposite Kyushu Island is Honshu Island.
