Chapter 1189: Insatiable
The 50,000 Korean troops, plus the 30,000 Dongjiang troops, and nearly 100,000 troops on the road, will inevitably not be able to go fast. Mao Wenlong also walked very carefully, after all, it remains to be seen whether the North Korean army obeys the order. Under this premise, Mao Wenlong couldn't catch up even if he wanted to hurry.
The Dongjiang Army and the North Korean Army also need to run in, and it just so happens that all this can be carried out on the march. It has been ten days since the departure from Heianjing, but Mao Wenlong has only walked half the way.
Although the march is slow, there are many benefits, and running in while walking can also quickly speed up the tacit understanding between the two armies.
"General soldiers, the king of Korea did not perfunctory us, the 60,000 troops should be the elite soldiers of North Korea. Judging from the tacit understanding of the current integration of the two armies, by the time we arrive in Tokyo, there will be no problem at all in besieging the city! Chen Qiyue smiled.
The drills of the North Korean army these days have made him no longer doubt the combat strength of the North Korean army. Although the Korean army is still inferior to the Dongjiang army, it is not useless, and it has the strength to fight compared to the Japanese army. This is what Chen Qiyue is most pleased with, and he no longer doubts that the king of Joseon will fool the Dongjiang army and send some troops to come.
Mao Wenlong laughed when he heard this: "Although the king of Joseon did not perfunctory us, he did send an elite army. But his intentions are also obvious, nothing more than hoping to get more benefits after the war. ”
Chen Qiyu paused for a moment, hesitated and said, "What kind of benefits are the general soldiers going to give to the king of Joseon?" ”
After pondering for a moment, Mao Wenlong said lightly: "It's too early to talk about what benefits to give. Everything depends on the final performance of these North Korean troops, and if they perform well, it is understandable to give more benefits. But if the performance is not good, then the general soldier is not a good person, just give some sweetness! ”
Chen Qiyu nodded and said, "What the chief soldier said is extremely true! ”
After Mao Wenlong waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, he said again: "What is the movement in Tokyo?" ”
Chen Qiyue recalled a little and said: "At present, it is still as calm as water, although there are some small movements, but they are all within the normal range. ”
Mao Wenlong said with satisfaction: "Although I didn't find anything wrong, I can't take it lightly. The Japanese have always been cunning, and this time when they saw that we had killed nearly 100,000 troops, they would definitely not be willing to sit idly by. ”
"My subordinates know that they have always instructed the secret guards over there, please rest assured!" Chen Qiyue swore a promise.
It's not the first time to have a confrontation with the Japanese Invaders, and Chen Qiyue actually knows a lot about the virtues of the Wolves. So he has always been very careful and has never slackened off.
Mao Wenlong nodded, then glanced back at the army that was training, and said indifferently: "How far do we have to go to reach Tokyo?" ”
Chen Qiyue frowned and thought for a long time before replying: "Chief soldier, we have only traveled about half of the distance at present, and it has taken ten days. Now that the run-in progress of the North Korean army is much faster, why don't we speed up some speed later? ”
From Heiankyo to Tokyo, it usually takes only about a few days to arrive, which is still the itinerary of a large army. If you're just riding on the road, you'll be there in five days faster. The Dongjiang Army has been gone for ten days this time, and the time it took far exceeded expectations, and Chen Qiyue has begun to worry about what accidents will happen in Tokyo after a long delay.
Mao Wenlong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said: "Don't rush to the road, everything is fine as usual, Tokyo just needs to be strictly guarded." The Japanese army, which had no way out, had nowhere to go, and they had no other way to retreat except to fight us to the death. ”
"Yes, Commander!" Chen Qiyue bowed, and then stepped back to inspect the North Korean troops in training.
The Dongjiang Army was not in a hurry or slow, and still marched for the purpose of training, which saved enough time for the emperor to flee. For five consecutive nights, more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers left Tokyo City in batches every night.
Cao Xiong's face was full of spring breeze, and he said with a smile: "Emperor, at present, we have avoided the eyes of the Dongjiang Army, and the number of people leaving the city has reached more than 30,000. Whether to stop for the time being, the subordinates will go out of the city first tonight and put the army in order. After the Emperor leaves the city tomorrow night, we will march to Nagasaki and plan to seize the warships. ”
The Emperor nodded, and replied to the question: "Five days have passed, but the Dongjiang Army has not yet arrived, but there is any news of them?" ”
Cao Xiong pondered for a moment before frowning and said, "The news sent said that the Dongjiang Army was moving very slowly, and it was training as it went. They had already set out for ten days, but they were only halfway there. The subordinate estimated that it would take ten days for the Dongjiang army to reach Tokyo. ”
When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "How sure are you?" ”
Cao Xiong's heart shook slightly, and he replied cautiously: "The subordinate is just guessing, and he can only be sure. ”
In the last defeat, although the emperor did not really punish Kusao, he knew that the current emperor was employing people, so he endured it in every possible way. The old sin has not gone yet, and Cao Xiong does not dare to take any more risks to take on the new sin, so he simply says that he is not sure. He was saved from putting forward his opinions later, but in the end he still made a fuss!
The Emperor obviously saw Kuao's thoughts, but he was not angry or blamed, but after a moment of silence, he said, "Even if the Dongjiang army no longer marches slowly, it will take them at least five days to reach Tokyo." This means that we have at least five days to spare, so there is no need to rush to Nagasaki now. ”
Kuao's face was bitter, and the emperor's remarks were clearly disgusted with the fact that there were too few soldiers and horses to take away. More than 30,000 soldiers had already secretly fled the city in five days, and if it took another five days, it would mean that they would take at least 60,000 soldiers and horses with them when they went to Nagasaki. In the course of such a large target, it was extremely easy for the Dongjiang Army to detect.
At that time, not to mention that they are going to attack Nagasaki and seize the battleship and escape to sea, it is estimated that it is unknown whether they can reach Nagasaki or not. Cao Xiong absolutely couldn't let the emperor go on like this, so he immediately gave up his hand and persuaded him: "Emperor, don't do it!" ”
When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly turned gloomy: "Why not, you think that with only 30,000 soldiers and horses, you want to attack Nagasaki and succeed in regaining the battleship." ”
Cao Xiong was speechless when asked, but taking too many soldiers and horses will inevitably increase the possibility of being discovered by the eyes of the Dongjiang Army. After pondering for a moment, he explained in a slow tone: "Emperor, the outside of the city was already under the surveillance of the Dongjiang Army, and now the 30,000 soldiers and horses we escaped from have no way to gather. If we get another 30,000 soldiers and horses out under such circumstances, once we are discovered by the Dongjiang army, we will have lost all our efforts. ”
