617 I fall
Thinking so in his heart, he was afraid that the Japanese army left behind would not be able to hold back the Ming army for too long, so Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't want to stop for a moment, and led the army back to Busan's lair as quickly as he could.
This kind of march, at the beginning, there was still an organization, but as it ran, it broke up the formation. In this regard, Matsudaira Nobutsuna could not ask for more. Anyway, when I return to Busan, I will naturally be able to restore the establishment.
On this day, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was on his way when he suddenly heard a commotion at the front of the procession.
Isn't this that you haven't arrived in Busan yet, and have you met a scout? He was thinking about it, but he saw the group in front of him separate, and then an embarrassed widow walked towards him.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at it closely, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded. I fled in a hurry, and I forgot about it. If he could, he would have wanted to hide first.
"Old man, my subordinates thought they would see you only after they withdrew to Busan!" This person came to Matsudaira Nobutsuna and said in a flat tone.
In this short period of time, Matsudaira Nobutsuna has already rebuilt his psychological defense line, and said with a serious look on his face: "Kameda-kun, you retreated too quickly, and the Ming army saw a flaw, which caused the official's ambush strategy to not work!" ”
"......" Kameda under the tree was stunned when he heard it.
He didn't expect Matsudaira Nobutsuna to lead the army to catch up from behind, so he understood that the old man had no intention of rescuing him at all, and just used him as bait.
Seriously, anyone who knows that he can be sacrificed by his boss casually, no matter how open-minded he is, he must feel some discomfort in his heart. Therefore, although Kameda came from the tree and did not ask, the respect for the boss before was gone.
As a result, he didn't expect it, he didn't mean to question, but Matsudaira Nobutsuna questioned him in turn. In other words, he couldn't ambush the Ming army, and he was to blame.
However, it was clear that Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't really mean to put the blame on him, and immediately added: "But it's good that you're back." If you have anything to say, let's go to Busan, it's important to hurry first! ”
When Kameda heard this, he immediately pressed the disgust in his heart to the bottom of his heart, and immediately asked, "Is it the Ming army that has caught up?" ”
"Let's go! Don't stop! Matsudaira Nobutsuna shouted orders to the guards around him, asking them to convey the order, and then he walked by himself while saying to Kameda under the tree who was following him: "Our army is embarrassed, the Ming army must know it, and it will definitely chase it." Therefore, we must rush to Busan as soon as possible, converge the military forces on the side of Damufu, counterattack the Ming army, and let those Ming troops know that if they dare to chase them, they will pay the price! ”
When Kameda heard this, he remembered the Ming cavalry he saw in Seoul, and his heart suddenly tightened, so he immediately said: "Those Ming cavalry are tall and powerful, and they are several times stronger than our Japanese people, not to mention that even their armor and muskets far surpass our army. Even if we get to Busan, can we win the Ming army? ”
The Ming army is all northern men, and their height is naturally not comparable to that of a dwarf. The previous Jianyu was the same, but at that time, the Japanese still had reason to find, thinking that they were good at using firearms, and they were tall, so it was just a bigger target.
But this time, Kameda had already seen the firearms of the Ming army in the contact battle between Seoul and the Ming army. He found that the Ming army's firearms could automatically fire without lighting the fire rope beforehand. In this way, they fired faster and more closely arranged, and the fire of muskets was not the opponent of the Ming army at all. It can be said that the Japanese army was crushed by the Ming army in all directions. This is also the reason why he did not dare to stay in Seoul even if he did not have a military order.
At this time, when he heard Matsudaira Nobutsuna's words, he was also unconfident in his heart. Even in order to prove the correctness of his views, he also said the comparison between the two sides.
Not to mention, Matsudaira Nobutsuna led the army to North Korea, although he had lost about 60,000 men and horses, in fact, he had never fought with the Ming army at all, although he knew something about the situation of the Ming army, but his subordinate Kameda said, there were some things he really didn't know.
When he heard this, he was stunned.
Before coming to Korea, as the commander of the first batch of armies, he naturally knew about the Ming army in advance. Even before he came to Korea, he visited the veterans who had fought with the Ming army. What he learned was that the firearms of the Ming State were not as powerful as the Japanese army, but the artillery was more powerful than the Japanese army.
In fact, it is. The shotguns of the Ming army were actually captured from the Japanese army, and then copied in large quantities. In terms of muskets, at least in the past, they were indeed inferior to those used by the Japanese army. Coupled with the corruption at that time, the muskets also had many explosions, which deepened the impression that the firearms of the Ming Kingdom were inferior to the Japanese State.
How many years have passed, and the Ming army has changed so much? Matsudaira Nobutsuna was very shocked in his heart, but he quickly came back to his senses, and in order not to affect his morale or his image, he immediately said to Kameda under the tree: "The army over there has been resting for many days, and we should be able to wait for work and fight the Ming army that is tired from the hasty pursuit." In a war, the key is to look at people, not ordnance and equipment. Otherwise, what is the future of my great country? ”
He was a Japanese man who had a dream of conquering the Central Plains Dynasty, and Kameda under the tree was no exception. Therefore, these warriors naturally refused to admit that their congenital conditions were insufficient, and they had no hope of winning the Ming army!
Therefore, after hearing Matsudaira Nobutsuna's words, Kameda nodded and agreed. However, he didn't bury his head in the road, but followed behind Matsudaira Nobutsuna, and made another request of his: "Old and middle-aged adults, my subordinates have been starving for many days, please allocate some military rations to come down, so that my subordinates can have a full meal!" ”
Hearing this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna almost flashed his waist, he didn't expect that Kameda under the tree would make such a request to him.
He couldn't help but want to complain, if he wants food, will this official be so embarrassed?
Seeing that Matsudaira Nobutsuna didn't speak, Kameda added: "The subordinates have no strength to retreat." It's also strange that along the way, the wild vegetables that can be eaten are so rare to see! Otherwise, the subordinates would have been able to go back to Busan by themselves. ”
When Matsudaira Nobutsuna heard this, he sighed in his heart and said: Those wild vegetables have long entered the stomach of the army.
However, he naturally did not point out, but quickened his pace and walked forward, and said at the same time: "When the army rests, let's eat together, it's important to hurry now!" ”
Kameda under the tree heard this, and when he wanted to fight again, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him, and the sound was getting louder and louder, as if something had happened. This made him not bother to say first, but to look up.
When there was movement before, it was the person in front who met the person from Kameda under the tree, which caused trouble to Matsudaira Nobutsuna, and now there was movement again, which made Matsudaira Nobutsuna feel even worse, so he scolded loudly: "There is still strength to make noise, it seems that the stomach is full, isn't it?" ”
If it were changed to before, this kind of thing of using food to blackmail would have absolutely immediate results. But at this time, the people in front not only did not calm down, but the noise became louder and louder, and faintly, one or two could be heard.
“…… What the...... It can't be......"
“…… How can it be...... Hell yes......"
“…… Ming Army...... Fly ......"
“……”
Hearing these voices, I don't know why, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he had a very bad premonition.
Hauge, who had been beside him without speaking, also sensed that something was wrong. Immediately, he began to look around, looking for something.
"Report ...... Old, middle-aged and adult! Finally, a Japanese man rushed to Matsudaira Nobutsuna and said with a panicked face, "The Pusan side was attacked by the Ming cavalry, and the whole army was wiped out!" ”
"What?" When Matsudaira Nobutsuna heard this, he immediately shouted and reprimanded, "Isn't the Ming cavalry behind us, where did the Ming cavalry come from in Busan?" You dare to lie about the military situation and shake the morale of the army......"
Before he could finish his words, he saw a few embarrassed widows coming behind him. One of them, Matsudaira Nobutsuna still knows, is the head of Inoue Shigemasa's personal guard, and it seems that his name is Ida. When Matsudaira Nobutsuna saw it, he was immediately shocked. At this time, although he had already understood that the matter must be right, he still couldn't believe it, and wanted to grab a life-saving straw, so he rushed over in a few steps, and shouted at Na Ida: "What about Damu Fu, what about Inoue Shigemasa, where is he?" ”
Hearing his screams with an almost hideous face, Ida, exhausted, untied a package from his waist, knelt on the ground and placed it respectfully, and then unwrapped it, revealing a head.
Matsudaira Nobutsuna actually expected his demeanor before he unraveled it, but when he really saw the head of Inoue Shigemasa's death, he was stunned for a moment.
"Big Eyes Fu committed suicide and martyrdom!" Ida didn't want to tell others that the things that Inoue Shigemasa regretted before he died could be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of master and servant.
The people around him, seeing the head of Inoue Shigemasa and listening to Ida's words, suddenly everyone was quiet for a while, and then suddenly exploded. It's like the end of the world, when many people are crazy and desperate!
At this moment, I heard Matsudaira Nobutsuna's "ah" sound, and he didn't vomit blood, so he fell backwards.
This time, Hauge didn't help or hug in time, just stared at the head of Inoue Shigemasa and didn't speak.
And Matsudaira Nobutsuna's personal guard's attention was all attracted by the head of Inoue Shigemasa, and for a while, he didn't notice anything else.
So, when Matsudaira Nobutsuna fell, he fell firmly on all fours and let out another "ah" sound.
At this time, his guards reacted and hurriedly went to help him, only to find that there was still blood on the back of his head, which happened to hit a stone.
At this time, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was obviously a little confused, and after a while, his eyes refocused, and then, he saw that the army that had not been formed in the first place was all in an uproar, all talking about the news that the Busan army was completely annihilated by the Ming cavalry.
