Chapter 1188: The decisive battle is imminent
Kim Jong-ri's reasonableness made Seung-zuo very useful, and he didn't pretend when the situation was urgent, and accepted it straightforwardly. After that, he began to work on the transfer of Nagasaki with the North Korean army.
Fortunately, Nagasaki had already been defended by 10,000 Korean troops who arrived first, and these people had all been personally tested by Chengzuo. If nothing else, these North Korean troops are fully capable of defending the city.
Therefore, there was no need to trouble the change of defense in Nagasaki, and Chen Zuo only took half of the Dongjiang army and the 50,000 Korean troops who arrived. Then he said goodbye, Kim Jong-ri and Aomine rushed to Hiroshima Prefecture together. After the army arrived in Hiroshima Prefecture, Seongzuo and Aomine immediately arranged for a change of defense. After two busy days, on the third day, he took the original Dongjiang Army of Hiroshima Prefecture and continued to Heiankyo.
Mao Wenlong has relaxed in the past few days, and he is in a good mood, and the Dongjiang Army cannot delay for too long in the Wa Kingdom. The longer the time is delayed, the more embarrassing the lack of food and medicine. Well, although the reinforcements from North Korea came a little late, they were okay and did not delay the opportunity to attack Tokyo.
Full of joy and anticipation, Mao Wenlong finally waited for the arrival of the army. Personally greeted outside the city, Chengzuo and Qingfeng, as well as the generals of the Korean army, all stepped forward to pay homage to Mao Wenlong one by one.
Mao Wenlong was in a good mood, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the whole army to rest for two days, and then he drove directly to Tokyo.
The movement of such a large army on the side of the Dongjiang Army was naturally immediately known by the secret eyes of the Japanese Kou. The news soon reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor was shocked when he learned the news, he did not expect that Mao Wenlong actually borrowed troops from Korea.
"Emperor, according to the report, it seems that the Dongjiang Army borrowed fifty or sixty thousand troops from Korea. Coupled with the original 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Dongjiang Army, the number of their soldiers and horses is almost equal to ours at this moment. With equal strength, we are really not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army, should we arrange a retreat now? Kusao said worriedly.
The Emperor did not get angry this time, but pondered for a long time before he began to mutter, "Tokyo is our final destination, and leaving Tokyo means abandoning the entire Wa Kingdom." After leaving the Wa Kingdom, where do you think we can live? ”
The emperor obviously did not object to arranging a retreat, and he was not willing to surrender the entire dynasty to the Dongjiang army in this way. It's just that the reality is already obvious, the Dongjiang Army has the help of tens of thousands of Korean troops, and the Japanese army is not its opponent at all. If you know that you are invincible, you still have to fight to the end, this is no longer called backbone, but stupidity.
The emperor was obviously not a man who accepted death, but he believed that in the event of an enemy, he should avoid the Dongjiang army for the time being. If there is a place to stay, he can go elsewhere to develop and grow first, and when he accumulates enough strength in the future, it is not too late to bring the army back to retaliate.
With this in mind, the Emperor agreed to Kusao's proposal, but as far as he knew. There seems to be no place for them anymore except Tokyo.
After hearing this, Kusuo smiled bitterly: "Emperor, the last general knows a place for us to stay. It's just that we need to sail to sea, but we simply don't have enough ships to use right now. ”
The emperor frowned and said, "You need to sail a boat to the sea, what kind of place is it?" ”
Cao Xiong didn't dare to hide it, he said bluntly: "Vietnam! ”
The emperor muttered stunnedly: "Vietnam? ”
Cao Xiong nodded heavily and said, "It is Vietnam, if we can take away 50,000 soldiers and horses, we can completely sweep away the entire Vietnam." Then we can also co-opt the army there for our use, and we can also settle down there. ”
It is true that Vietnam is not very far from the Japanese state, but it is not close, and it takes more than ten days for ordinary warships to sail smoothly. If there is bad weather on the way, there must be at least 20 days to travel.
Going to sea is not a trivial matter in itself, all the more so now when there are no warships. Time is running out, and seeing that the Dongjiang Army will inevitably come to the city in less than ten days. Where to get a battleship in such a short time? It's like a headache.
The emperor said with a gloomy face: "If you want to go to sea, you must have warships, and talking about going to sea without warships is nonsense." ”
In a fit of rage, the emperor actually burst out foul language.
A look of embarrassment flashed on Cao Xiong's face, and he couldn't think of a way for a while. At present, the only one in the entire Wa Kingdom with enough warships is the Dongjiang Army. If you really want a warship, you can only find a way to seize it from the hands of the Dongjiang Army.
After some contemplation, Cao Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "Emperor, I heard that the North Korean army is now defending Nagasaki, and we need warships there. At present, we can only take it from there to have a chance of survival. ”
The Emperor was very hesitant when he heard this, and if he did so, he was taking a risk, and if he could not succeed, he would be in a situation from which he could never recover. After thinking about it for a long time, the emperor finally shook his head and denied: "This move is not appropriate, we are going to Nagasaki to seize the battleship, and we must attack quietly." The sky outside was full of hot air balloons from the Dongjiang Army, and it was completely impossible for us to sneak out quietly. ”
Hearing this, Kusuo also fell silent, Tokyo is currently completely under the surveillance of the Dongjiang Army, and any slightly larger moves will be known as soon as possible. In this way, there was no way to hide the sight of the Dongjiang Army and attack in the dark.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Cao Xiong suddenly became disheartened. And the emperor's face was also gloomy at the moment, and there were only two paths in front of him to choose from. Either venture to Nagasaki to capture the battleship and escape to sea, or stay in Tokyo honestly, ready to fight to the death with the Dongjiang army.
The former has little hope of success, while the latter may still rely on the defense of the city wall to fight with the Dongjiang army. After much thought, the emperor was never able to make a final decision.
At this time, Cao Xiong suddenly said: "Emperor, or we will be in danger and split into two. The First Army stayed behind to defend the city to attract the Dongjiang Army, while we secretly left the city and went to Nagasaki to capture the battleship. Of course, in order to avoid being discovered by the eyes of the Dongjiang Army, we can completely break it into pieces and escape from Tokyo City in batches at night. ”
The emperor immediately felt reasonable, and Kusuo's proposal was not bad, although it may not have gone as smoothly as he thought. But it's also worth trying, and after that's decided, the emperor should ask Kusuo to arrange it immediately.
The Japanese began to make small moves in the dark, and every night there would always be a small group of Japanese who quietly left the city. In order to avoid being spotted by hot air balloons in the air, no more than 100 people left the city at any one time.
At this moment, the Dongjiang Army was already halfway to Tokyo, and Mao Wenlong was not in a hurry to march, in order to maintain the physical strength of the army, but also for the safety of the army.
