Chapter 1202: Make Up Your Mind
The news of Nagasaki Prefecture finally arrived in Tokyo, and Haoda rushed to Mao Wenlong with the letter he had just received. After receiving the letter, Mao Wenlong immediately opened it and watched, and learned that although Nagasaki City was currently dangerous, it was still safe and had not been broken by the Japanese army, and Mao Wenlong was finally completely relieved.
Although Mao Wenlong didn't know the specific situation, he understood that as long as Nagasaki City could hold out for another day, then the reinforcements behind would arrive one after another.
Chen Jisheng was in a hurry at the moment, looking at the flat road, it was actually extremely difficult to walk. Especially in the night, some potholes are not visible at all, but fortunately the night is quite bright tonight, and the pioneer battalion can run smoothly after controlling the speed of the horses.
Looking up at the sky, Chen Jisheng frowned, and half of the dozens of miles had now been run. At this speed, we arrived at Nagasaki Castle in the early hours of the morning.
Chen Jisheng didn't know anything about the current situation in Nagasaki City, and the only thing he knew was that there were tens of thousands of Japanese troops attacking the city. Chen Jisheng was eager to fly to Nagasaki City immediately, he hesitated for a moment, and resolutely ordered the guards beside him: "Pass my order, the whole army will speed up and hurry, and be sure to arrive at Nagasaki City before dawn." ”
"Yes, General!" After the two guards received the order, they turned their horses' heads and began to roar loudly along the back.
Chen Jisheng is in a hurry, but Nagasaki City is already in silence. In the end, Cao Xiong only carried out a tentative attack during the day, and after seeing that the Dongjiang army was still spraying fierce fire oil, he gave up the idea of attacking the city during the day.
It was already the middle of the night, and it was dark everywhere, and the Japanese army could not see the situation on the city wall clearly. Similarly, the Dongjiang Army could not see clearly the situation of the Japanese army after the dispersal.
Neither could see each other clearly, which caused a lot of trouble for the Dongjiang army, because it was impossible to know the exact location of the Japanese army. The four gates of the south, east, and west may be attacked by the Japanese army at any time. And this is also the case, the Japanese army, under the command of Kusao, has launched more than four attacks on various city gates.
The attacks of the Japanese army were swift and swift, and they came and went in a hurry, without the slightest love of war. In the face of the attack of the Japanese army, the Dongjiang army was also exhausted, and then there were hundreds of casualties.
Kim Jong-ri and Xiao Li sat in the arrow tower, the dim light shining on their tired faces, and they spent the whole day dealing with the constant harassment of the Japanese army. Not only the two of them were physically and mentally exhausted, but the soldiers defending the city were even more unbearable.
"If we continue to be harassed like this, we will be in danger, General Xiao, can we solve the dilemma in front of us?" Kim Jong-ri asked with a sad face.
"There's no way, in this dark night, we can't keep an eye on every move of the Japanese army. Under the premise that there is no way to know the movements of the Japanese army in advance, we have no way to prevent it. Xiao Li was very distressed, and he didn't expect that the Japanese army would suddenly become smarter.
"What then? Is it true that we can't do anything now? Kim Jong-ri hugged his head in distress and complained.
Tomorrow will be fine when it dawns, but the Japanese army has been too frightened to attack the city again, and they see that the crisis is resolved. But before the Dongjiang army could breathe a sigh of relief, the Japanese army began to harass frequently after nightfall. As a result, the North Korean army suffered hundreds of casualties, not to mention, and even made the whole army exhausted, and they were all about to lie down tired.
"It's definitely not going to work still, we have to find a way to force these damn robbers out!" Xiao Li got up suddenly, slapped the table fiercely, and said fiercely.
Jin Zhengli looked at Xiao Li in a daze, waiting for his next words, but after waiting for a long time, he still couldn't wait for Xiao Li to say a real solution.
"General Xiao, what can you do not speak out." Kim Jong-ri said bitterly.
"It's really not possible, we can only take the risk and set fire to all the three cities in the south, east and west, leaving only the northern city for the Japanese army. So we just have to defend the North City. Xiao Li groaned.
"Ignite ......," Kim muttered.
"Then it's decided, we can't put it off any longer." Xiao Li didn't give Kim Jong-ri time to express his opinion at all, and directly turned around and left the arrow tower.
The 3,000 Dongjiang troops were quickly assembled, and Xiao Li directly deployed 1,500 people in the three cities in the southeast, south, and west. Each gate of 500 men was responsible for keeping the flames of the three cities burning until dawn.
In the end, the remaining 1,500 people followed Xiao Li to the northern city to defend, which would not be ignited and was specially reserved for the Japanese army to attack the city.
The Dongjiang Army's actions were very fast, and in less than half an hour, the three cities had already been ignited, and the Japanese army saw the sudden flames, and there was no way to carry out another sneak attack.
When the news reached Cao Xiong's ears, this guy was very stunned: "The Dongjiang Army actually directly ignited the three city gates, but the remaining Beicheng did not ignite. ”
The emperor said with a dark face and dissatisfaction: "Obviously, the Dongjiang army is under the idea of letting us attack the northern city, and we can't do what they want." It is necessary to find a gap elsewhere to continue the sneak attack. ”
The previous continuous harassment had exhausted the Dongjiang Army, and success was in sight, but at this critical moment, such a change occurred. The emperor was not willing to fall short, so he insisted on continuing to harass the Dongjiang army without even thinking about it.
Kusuo smiled bitterly and explained, "Emperor, this method is no longer feasible now. The Dongjiang army set fire to the outside of the city, and we could no longer quietly approach the city wall, and once we got close, we would be immediately discovered by the Dongjiang army. And with the flames in the way, we have no way to attack the Dongjiang Army again. ”
"Damn ......"
The Emperor was suddenly furious, stood upright, and then said fiercely: "How many soldiers and horses do we have now?" ”
Cao Xiong made a silent calculation in his heart before he replied: "There are about 40,000." ”
"Forty thousand, it should be enough."
The emperor ordered in a cruel voice: "Gather the whole army and prepare to fight to the death with the Dongjiang army from Beicheng, this time we must fight to the end, we are running out of time." Before dawn, the emperor wants to see Nagasaki Castle breached, and if it doesn't work, you Kusuo will come to see the emperor. ”
Kuao's face changed greatly, and he wanted to persuade him, but he suddenly took back the words that came to his lips: "Yes, Emperor!" ”
The emperor didn't give Kuaoo a good look, his face was still gloomy, and when he saw that Kusao agreed, he waved his hand indifferently and motioned him to retreat to do something.
Cao Xiong was full of reluctance, but he didn't dare to show a little on his face, and after suddenly turning around, his face was suddenly so gloomy that he could wring out water. I secretly decided in my heart that even if the whole army was wiped out, I must take Nagasaki Prefecture. He had no way out, no choice but to fight to the death.
