Chapter 1198: Bad News (3)
The fire attack of the Dongjiang Army completely suppressed the madness of the Japanese army, and at this moment, the eastern castle of Nagasaki was completely covered by a sea of fire. Even if the Japanese army had the confidence not to be afraid of death, they could no longer attack the city from here.
The Emperor's face became gloomy, and the sudden unexpected situation almost cut off his thoughts of Nagasaki Prefecture. In the face of the Spitfire tactics of the Dongjiang Army, before he has no way to crack or resist, it is obvious that he can no longer carry out the plan of attacking the city?
There was not much time left for the Japanese army, if they failed to take Nagasaki Castle in two days. Then the Japanese army was bound to be besieged by the Korean army, and the emperor knew that the Dongjiang army was rushing to the rescue at this moment. His only option was to storm Nagasaki as quickly as possible, capture the battleship, and flee.
"Caoxiong, is there a way to crack the Dongjiang Army's sea of fire tactics?" After the emperor's contemplation, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked Kusuo for a solution.
"Emperor, the flames of the Dongjiang Army are all ignited by fierce fire oil, and as long as they are touched, they will burn any thing. There is no way to defend at all, but his subordinates are thinking, if this huge flame is all ignited by fierce fire oil, then the Dongjiang army needs a lot of fierce fire oil......" Cao Xiong said here and stopped suddenly.
The Emperor frowned, pondered for a moment, and said uncertainly, "You mean that the fierce fire oil of the Dongjiang Army may run out?" ”
Cao Xiong chuckled: "Exactly, this thing does look powerful, but it needs a lot of fierce fire oil to be able to support it." The Dongjiang Army is out in battle, and if it is not replenished in time, the subordinates believe that they will definitely not be able to fight a few times with such an effect. ”
The Emperor pondered for a while, and soon understood what Kusao meant, and he muttered, "You want to exhaust the fierce fire oil of the Dongjiang Army? ”
Cao Xiong nodded and said, "That's exactly what my subordinates mean." ”
The Emperor then frowned: "What kind of exhaustion method?" ”
Cao Xiong pondered for a moment before he said: "The necessary efforts are still needed, but now the subordinates have not yet thought of a way to exhaust the fierce fire oil of the Dongjiang army with the least losses, and ask the emperor to give the subordinates a little time." ”
At this moment, time is everything that determines victory or defeat for the emperor, and once the reinforcements of the Dongjiang Army arrive, they have no chance of escaping at all. But if the fierce fire oil of the Dongjiang Army is not exhausted in front of him, the siege of the city will be completely empty talk. After thinking about it for a long time, the emperor reluctantly said: "Give you an hour's time, and after an hour, the emperor must see an effective way, otherwise he will not be spared!" ”
Obviously, this is the emperor is creating pressure on Kusao, and Kusao also understands the emperor's intentions, he did not hesitate at all, and even agreed.
The Japanese army has not taken a break since the morning, and it is just at this time to let the army rest. Subsequently, the emperor ordered that all the rest of the army, except those who needed to be guarded, should seize the time to rest for an hour.
The soldiers of the Japanese army were so relieved that they hadn't even eaten a bite of food since the morning, and after this order, they immediately took out dry food and devoured it.
The fire outside the eastern city was still burning violently, and although it was not as strong as it had been at the beginning, the temperature was much higher. This, combined with the billowing black smoke and the smell of burning, made it impossible for the defenders on the city walls to gain a foothold.
Kim Jong-ri himself could not stay any longer, and after carefully inspecting the situation outside Dongcheng, he consulted with the commander of the Dongjiang Army, and then temporarily let the defenders of Dongcheng retreat to the city. There were only a hundred or so people left on the city wall to watch the wind, in case the resting Japanese army suddenly attacked again.
The sudden truce between the two armies was the need of each other, but both armies understood in their hearts that such a truce was only a short moment. Once the fight starts again, it will inevitably be more fierce than the previous one.
No one dares to take it lightly, both armies are secretly accumulating strength, and Kim Jong-ri is also quite nervous. At this moment, he had already learned that although the fire-breathing oil tank was extremely powerful, it needed a lot of fierce fire oil. And the Dongjiang Army currently has not much of the fierce fire oil left, and according to the estimation of the Dongjiang Army, it is only enough for two more attacks like the one earlier.
This also means that if the Japanese army is desperate to attack, the fierce fire oil will only be enough to withstand two more Japanese attacks.
"General Xiao, do you think the Japanese army still dares to attack?" Kim Jong-ri asked General Manager Qian of the Dongjiang Army with concern.
"The Wako will not retreat from this, their purpose is already known to us, that is, to seize the warship and escape from the Wa Kingdom after breaking the city, and there is no other way for them to escape." Xiao Li replied with a wry smile.
"Then what should we do if the Japanese army comes to attack the city again? The artillery was also short of ammunition, and it was concentrated here in the East City. If we wait for the Japanese army to attack the city from elsewhere, we will not have time to carry the artillery. Kim Jong-ri was distressed.
Today's reinforcements only know that they are already on the way, but there is still no news about when they will arrive. This made Kim Jong-ri very passive, and he didn't know if he could resist the crazy attack of the Japanese army.
At the moment of the great enemy, Kim Jong-ri can't do it in his heart, in such a situation, he can't help but be in a hurry and panic!
"General Jin doesn't have to worry too much, by tomorrow at the latest, reinforcements from Hiroshima Prefecture should be able to arrive, although there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, but once they enter the city, if they join forces with us to defend the city, there will be no problem at all to resist the Japanese army for two or three days." Xiao Li analyzed quite calmly.
After Kim Jong-ri heard this, a big stone finally fell in his heart. But immediately thinking of the predicament in front of him, he spoke again: "Does General Xiao have a plan to deal with the Japanese army to attack the city again?" ”
Xiao Li didn't want to think about it, and shook his head directly: "There is no way, there is no other way in front of us except to fight to the end!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Kim Jong-ri's face immediately turned green, and although the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in the morning attack, there were thousands of dead and wounded. But there are a lot of people, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are killed and wounded, and thousands of them can't hit the strength of the Japanese army at all.
However, there were less than 10,000 North Korean troops left defending the city, and with such a huge disparity in strength, it was obviously difficult for the North Korean army to withstand the frantic attack of the Japanese army. What worries Kim Jong-ri even more is that even if the North Korean army withstands the attack of the Japanese army in the end, it will inevitably result in heavy casualties or total annihilation.
Either way, it will be bad for Kim Jong-ri, after all, it is the North Korean army that is killed and wounded.
Looking at Kim Jong-ri, whose face was uncertain, Xiao Li already understood his mind after a little contemplation. Then he chuckled and said with relief: "General Jin doesn't need to be so flustered, although we don't have much fierce fire oil, if we can save some of it, it will be no problem to persist until tonight." ”
