Chapter 1199: Scheming

In the face of more than ten times the strength of the Japanese Invaders, Xiao Li still maintained that indifference very well and did not panic. And although Kim Zhengli was still apprehensive in his heart, he was still affected by Xiao Li and slowly calmed down.

The truce between the two armies did not last long, and an hour later, Kim Jong-ri learned that the Japanese army had begun to make moves. By the time he and Xiao Li climbed the city walls, the fires outside the city had begun to gradually extinguish. As far as the eye could see, the ground was littered with charred corpses, and a foul stench filled the air.

Kim Jong-ri frowned, resisted his nauseous nausea, and turned his gaze to the camp of the Japanese army in the distance. I saw that the Japanese army had begun to assemble at this moment, and under the leadership of the generals, it slowly moved to the west.

Seeing this, Jin Zhengli suddenly became nervous again: "General Xiao, it seems that the Japanese army is going to attack Xicheng!" ”

Xiao Li also saw the movement of the Japanese army in the telescope at this moment, and he nodded in response: "Indeed, it seems that the Japanese will not give up the siege easily this time." ”

Although he was very calm on the surface, Xiao Li began to feel uneasy in his heart. In fact, the fierce fire oil is not as abundant as he said before, once the Japanese army continues to attack the city, the fierce fire oil will not be able to fall at night.

Jin Zhengli didn't notice the flash of worry on Xiao Li's face, he paused and turned to look at Xiao Li and said, "Why don't we go to Xicheng to set up defenses now." ”

Xiao Li didn't say much, and after nodding his head in agreement, he immediately called three thousand Dongjiang troops to go to Xicheng with him. And Kim Zhengli was not so troublesome, he handed over the aftermath to his subordinates, and he followed Xiao Li to go with him.

Another big battle is about to begin, and both armies are actively preparing. The emperor and Kusuo rode side by side, and the emperor always had a distressed expression on his face, a sullen look.

Kusahiro knew why the emperor was like this, and the reason was nothing more than the reply he handed in within an hour, which made the emperor never happy.

While he was pondering, Cao Xiong heard the emperor say in a deep voice: "How sure are you that you can use the lives of 20,000 soldiers to exhaust the fierce fire oil of the Dongjiang army?" ”

Cao Xiong paused for a moment when he heard the words before responding: "The emperor, the subordinates are not completely sure, but we have no way out at present, so we can only fight like this." ”

How much fierce fire oil the Dongjiang Army has, where can Cao Xiong know, but now even if he has no bottom in his heart, he can only bite the bullet, and there is no way out.

The Emperor frowned again, but did not say a word about Kusuo. In fact, he had long understood in his heart that when he came to this point, the Japanese army had no other way to retreat, and the only way to survive was to seize the battleship at all costs and escape.

The Japanese army soon turned to the outside of the west city, and looking at the Korean army that was still busy deploying on the city wall, Cao Xiong suddenly bowed his hand to the emperor and said: "It's better for us to change directly to the south gate, and the Dongjiang army will be caught off guard." ”

After pondering for a moment, the emperor finally showed a smile on his face, and said, "Good idea, just do it!" ”

Afterwards, the emperor directly ordered the army to continue to advance towards the south gate without any stop.

In this way, the Korean army and the Dongjiang army who were busy deploying on the city wall were confined. Kim Jong-ri frowned and said, "Is the Japanese army going to attack the southern city gate?" ”

After Xiao Li pondered deeply, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Japanese army clearly had a momentary pause just now, which proves that they wanted to fight Xicheng from the beginning. And now they continue to advance towards the southern city, which can only show one thing, that is, they found that we have set up a defense here, and they continue to go to the southern city. ”

Xiao Li really saw it thoroughly, and immediately grasped the thoughts of the widows.

Kim Zhengli was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and said anxiously: "Then what should I do?" We have already set up the West City, if we rush to the South City to arrange it at this moment, it will be completely too late! ”

The defenders of Nagasaki Castle were not enough, and the previous battle had cost some soldiers, and this was only a matter of troops. Soldiers only need to be mobilized to change their defenses, and the key is that those artillery pieces also have some equipment that can help defend against the enemy. It takes time to move and assemble these things!

After Xiao Li heard this, he said unhurriedly: "The Japanese army will definitely not attack the city so easily, we just need to immediately mobilize troops and horses to the southern city and pretend to be busy arranging defenses." When the Japanese army saw that they would definitely rush to the north again, we could still do it, and when they came to the west again, we pretended that it was too late to set up defenses, and deliberately showed weakness to the Japanese army, so that they could come and attack the city. ”

According to Xiao Li, this is indeed a good way, but it is difficult to say whether the Japanese army will be fooled in the end. And Kim Jong-ri felt that the Japanese army would not be so stupid and easily deceived.

But in addition to the method that Xiao Li said, Kim Zhengli couldn't think of any better way for a while. For this reason, Kim Jong-ri can only choose to take a risk in the end.

Immediately following the Japanese army, 3,000 soldiers of the Dongjiang Army immediately rushed to Nancheng with fierce fire oil spitter cabinets. However, the North Korean army, under Kim Jong Ri's order, left half of its troops to continue to deploy defensive equipment. The other half of the soldiers and horses rushed to Nancheng to assist the Dongjiang army in the defense.

The changes in the city completely fell into the eyes of the emperor and Kusao, and the two laughed together as they watched the Dongjiang army hurrying to the southern city.

Cao Xiong laughed and said, "Emperor, it's better to wait for us to reach the southern city, then order the army to rest for a while, and when the Dongjiang army is almost ready, we will continue to rush to the northern city." After a big circle around him, the Dongjiang army was paralyzed first, and finally we decided to attack the weakest point of defense. ”

The Emperor laughed and said, "This is also the emperor's intention, but the time can't be delayed for too long, and we will have to break through the city tomorrow at the latest." ”

Kusao will become confident, and swears: "The emperor, please rest assured, the ministers know what to do." ”

The Emperor nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Okay, then let's do what I want!" ”

"Yes, Emperor!" Kusao excitedly agreed, and then rode away.

Xiao Li and the others had just arrived in Nancheng and had not yet begun to deploy their defenses, when they had already seen the arrival of the Japanese army. This time, the Japanese army did not leave immediately, but stopped, but there was no sign of attacking the city. At first, Xiao Li mistakenly thought that the Japanese army would attack the city, but fortunately, the Japanese army did not stay long, and then set off to advance towards the north gate.

Seeing this, Xiao Li and Jin Zhengli immediately felt relieved, there is no doubt that Xiao Li's thoughts have been expected by Xiao Li. Although they expected the thoughts of the Japanese army, Xiao Li and Jin Zhengli did not dare to slack off, and then transferred troops to Beicheng.
