But you have to admit that the Japanese nation is very tenacious. Even if the navy has been wiped out, the infantry on the shore will quickly stabilize. Even the soldiers who have just been enlisted by signs have escaped.

In fact, Ashikaga Yoshihisa only used one fact to tell these 150,000 soldiers.

Behind you is your home.

You retreat now, just wait for the Ming Dynasty's heroic cavalry to trample on your homeland, steal your property, play with your women, and kill all your family...

I made up a story with a scattered atmosphere, telling how miserable the Indochina Peninsula is now, and letting this story quietly spread in the army.

Therefore, the morale of the Japanese infantry has not dispersed.

Instead, he built fortifications more and more diligently.

Ashikaga Yoshitsushi saw it.

The artillery fire of the Japanese navy and the Ming navy is seeking death, so the fire of the infantry's muskets and the Ming infantry's muskets are also seeking death. You must fight in close hand-to-hand combat to have a glimmer of chance.

The tactic of digging trenches and piled up stones as a defense line proposed earlier was soon discovered deeper.

Currently, there are only five steel warships floating near the sea in the Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible to log in in the short term.

Ashikaga Yoshiji also believed that Zhu Di did not have a sea area map outside other Japanese ports, otherwise he would have chosen other places long ago instead of coming to Matsuura directly.

So Ashikaga Yoshika boldly asked his soldiers to start digging trenches and pile up defense lines with stones.

Fifty thousand people were completely mobilized.

But soon, Ashikaga Yoshiji discovered an accident: the fifteen treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty arrived at the coast of Matsuura. After confirming safety, they moved closer to the coast and provided ammunition, food and freshwater supply to the five steel warships.

Daqing really doesn't have the idea of ​​logging in quickly.

Something is still waiting for.

Therefore, during the period when the Ming fleet was waiting near the sea, the coastal area of ​​Matsuura was dug into a spider web with great connections by 150,000 Japanese troops.

It has to be admitted that Ashikaga Yoshihide's move is very epoch-making.

It is the most common operation of the war in the Firearm Age.

But this is the first time in this era.

...

...

On the Yingtian, Zhu Di stood at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance with a telescope. The dense trenches on the Matsuura coastline gave him a headache and he no longer looked down on this Ashikaga Yoshiji.

Indeed, digging trenches can effectively reduce the killing of large open flames.

The Yingtian at Zhu Di's feet was full of potholes. Although the navy soldiers have been knocking and repairing these days, some places need to be dismantled before they can be repaired. In addition, it does not affect the performance of the warship, so I ignored it.

At dusk, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanji, Zheng He and others stood behind.

Zhu Di put down his telescope and looked back at everyone, "Ashikaga Yoshiki dug many trenches, which can effectively reduce the damage of our firearms. You guys think that we should still log in as planned?"

Everyone looked at dusk.

As a demon minister of the Ming Dynasty, he must have different opinions from ordinary people.

The dusk was silent for a while, "The impact is not great, and the foreseeable result is the same. Besides, we should have been mentally prepared for this situation. The stubbornness of the Japanese nation is famous in history. We should not have the idea of ​​occupying this country without any blood from the beginning, so it is acceptable to increase the damage to war."

He paused, "War of war, how could there be no damage to the war?"

I can bear the losses.

If you can't bear the losses, then I will win unless you are a Frenchman.

Then we all relax.

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Founding this attitude, Ashikaga Yoshihisa seems to be in control of 100,000 or 200,000 troops. So, isn't it a bit insufficient to rely solely on the navy and naval forces?"

Dusk nodded, "It's a bit insufficient."

Looking at Zhu Gaoxu, "His Royal Highness, how many follow-up troops are there? How long will it take to arrive?"

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, "There will be about 50,000 troops in the next four hundred materials warships and two hundred materials warships. Most of the ones who arrived in advance were Shenji camps with firearms. The cavalry arrived last. If nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive here in another five or six days."

Zhu Di nodded, "Just like spider web-like terrain on the coast of Songpu, the cavalry will not be able to play even if they come."

50,000 troops, plus 45,000 troops from the Shanghai Army and the Navy.

It should be enough.

He said: "Then wait for the general attack in five or six days?"

Xun nodded, "Weichen thinks it's OK. Before this, we need to test it."

Everyone is puzzled, what to test?

Huang Tun explained with a smile, "When soldiers land, they have to face the counterattack of enemy firearms, so we need to bombard them with powerful intensive artillery so that the enemy infantry can't raise their heads. We must test the landing point of our artillery. At that time, all warships are placed in the most appropriate position to ensure that each artillery lands on the enemy's position, but will not accidentally hurt our soldiers. We will stop the artillery after our soldiers land on a large scale."

Suddenly I remembered something, "Actually, when the general attack is successful, if we land successfully, our steel warships are basically useless when we do not get the entire Japanese nautical chart, and can only be used for transportation. So I think that once the landing is successful, we must pour all the ammunition into the enemy's positions, destroy the defense of the Japanese infantry as much as possible, and reduce the damage to our own side. I think... Well, this strategy is called the saturation of ammunition at dusk. What does Your Majesty think?"

Zhu Di was a little worried, "But once the ammunition is used up, what should I do if the navy needs support in the future?"

Xun said: "In this landing offensive and defensive battle, it is necessary to fight for ten days and half a month. After the battle is completed, it will take about ten days and half a month to build the rear base camp. It will take about ten days and half a month. More than a month is not enough for our ships to transport supplies to misplaced?"

Zhu Di remained silent for a long time and looked at the other people.

No one said anything.

The current war situation is unprecedented, and many things are beyond their understanding. Even Zheng Heng from the Shenji Camp could only remain silent at this moment.

After all, Zhu Di was Zhu Di, so he quickly made a decision, "Just as Zhenxi Gong said!"

So the matter was settled.

However, landing war basically means a general attack on Japan, so in terms of strategy, we have to continue discussing with many generals. In fact, the biggest strategy has long been customized: landing, occupy a landing near the sea, then quickly establish defense, rely on naval warships to form a forward base, and then continuously replenish supplies and troops, and finally launch an attack on the entire territory of Japan.

Therefore, Zhu Di expected this external war to be expanded for one year or even two years.

A few days will pass soon.

More than 70 treasure ships, 400 material warships and 200 material warships were requisitioned nationwide, and finally arrived in Matsuura from Weihai, bringing troops and a large amount of supplies, so the situation turned around.

Before, it was Japanese navy densely packed in the coast of Matsuura.

Now the Ming fleet is densely packed near Matsuura.

Everything is ready.
