Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

It would be fine if Lan Yu and his men had already landed, but what if they were discovered by the Japanese pirates before they could even land?

It will not be so easy to land at that time, even if Lan Yu has more people and more advanced and powerful weapons.

But the sea can never compare to the land. It is well known that landing warfare is one of the most difficult forms of warfare.

The coastline has complex terrain, with limited locations suitable for landing, and the attackers are not familiar with the water environment at the landing point.

For example, the depth of the water area, the pattern of tides, and whether there are imperceptible undercurrents underwater are all difficult points.

The depth of the water determines how far a large ship can dock. The closer to the shore, the faster the soldiers can be transported ashore.

However, in unfamiliar waters, if a large ship comes too close and exceeds the warning line, there is a risk of running aground, and the ship will be completely destroyed.

The second issue is the pattern of tides. Without familiarity with the pattern of tides, it would be too risky for small boats to transport soldiers and supplies.

Small boats in ancient times could not withstand the waves crashing against the shore, and if they were not careful they would be in danger of being overturned by the waves.

If there is an undercurrent underwater, the soldiers who fall into the water will be swept away and there will not even be a need for rescue.

Moreover, the carrying capacity of ancient small boats was very limited, so if they wanted to land, they had to transport troops back and forth multiple times.

Even if the troops were transported ashore, they would now face a second problem: the mudflats, reefs, and the environment around the coast.

The mudflats, composed of mud, sand and rotten vegetation, are as difficult to walk on as walking in a swamp and consume a lot of physical energy.

But even so, the mudflats are still relatively good. If you encounter a rocky area on the coast, it would be really dangerous.

Not only is walking difficult, climbing is also strenuous. If you slip and fall, even if you are lucky, the worst you will suffer is a broken bone.

If you are unlucky and fall on a bump or sharp spot, your life will end on the spot.

But this is not the most critical factor. What really makes the landing battle difficult is the environment around the coast, which is extremely unfavorable to the attacker.

There is no point in landing with too few people, but if there are too many people landing, the attacking troops will not be able to launch an attack formation.

And there is no cover when coming from the sea, which makes her like a naked girl to the defenders.

The defending side has either cliffs or woods, or terrain with great defensive value like Hulukou.

Only a very small number of troops need to be sent, and a crazy attack before landing can stop the attackers at sea.

Even if the enemy successfully lands, the defenders only need to strangle the throat to achieve the effect of several or even dozens of times the number of people.

This is why Americans in later generations have been bragging about how great the Normandy Landing was.

To be honest, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty navy, landing would definitely be no problem, but the price to pay would be extremely high.

Moreover, the more people the Japanese pirates have defending, the more casualties the Ming navy will suffer when landing.

This is not the result Wei Wu wanted to see. Those are all good men of China and they cannot die in such a miserable way.

Therefore, no matter what, Wei Wu could not allow the war between the Southern and Northern Dynasties to break out.

No, it should be said that these 5,000 soldiers outside the city cannot go to Higo Province, they must all be left in Hizen Province.

Looking at the map on the table, Wei Wu fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Shen Lin and Zhang Hai immediately lowered their breathing, for fear of disturbing Wei Wu's thoughts.

A few minutes later, Wei Wu raised his head and looked at the people in the Wuchang team with a smile and asked:

"Fourteen people wiped out the five thousand soldiers outside the city. Do you have the courage to follow me?"

Hearing Wei Wu's words, the Wuchang team, including Shen Lin and Zhang Hai, were all stunned.

But they reacted the next second and knelt on one knee in front of Wei Wu.

"Whoever the young master says to chop, we'll chop!"

At this moment, Wei Wu seemed to see the scene when they swore to be the knife in his hand.

"Good! These are the people I, Wei Wu, command. This is the kind of momentum we need: 'Even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will still advance!'"

"I can tell you that destroying the army outside the city was not a whim on my part. It was done to ensure a smooth landing for the navy."

"This time, the location where the Southern and Northern Dynasties fought happened to be where the navy landed, making the landing battle extremely difficult."

Having said that, Wei Wu specifically explained to the Wuchang team the difficulties and risks of the landing battle.

After the popular science, he continued to speak:

"The more defenders there are, the more difficult it will be to land. They are all brave men of the Ming Dynasty, each one of them a man of steel."

"They can die in battle with the enemy, but they can't die in such a miserable way. They can't die without any value!"

"Therefore, we must leave these 5,000 people in Hizen Province to share the pressure on the navy and reduce casualties."

After Wei Wu finished speaking, Shen Lin and the others did not say anything, but the resolute expressions on their faces were enough to explain everything.

In fact, for Shen Lin and the others, there was no need for Wei Wu to explain too much. They would do whatever Wei Wu said.

Wei Wu knew this in his heart, but it was precisely because he knew it that he had to say it out loud. After all, trust is a mutual thing.

After dealing with the Wuchang Squad, Wei Wu set his sights on the Inuyanggou hybrid.

After all, in the process just now, he did not avoid this dog and clearly stated that the Ming Dynasty was going to attack the Japanese pirates.

Now Wei Wu wanted to see how the dog-raising hybrid would react after knowing this.

But the result surprised Wei Wu a little. There was no fear on the face of the dog-raising hybrid except for surprise.

It was as if he was only surprised by the Ming Dynasty's attack on the Japanese pirates, but did not care at all about the war that his hometown was about to encounter.

This aroused Wei Wu's curiosity, and he stared into the eyes of the dog-raising hybrid and asked bluntly:

"When I told you that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack the Japanese pirates, you didn't react at all. This is your hometown! Why?"

Upon hearing Wei Wu's question, the Inukai mongrel immediately bent down and knocked his head on the tatami.

"Woof woof! Master, although this is my hometown, it has long since decayed and is not worth revisiting."

"Whether it's the heartless shogun or the Yoshino court trying to regain power, they'll only make things worse."

"In that case, why not let them feel the pain? Without experiencing real pain, there will be no peace here!"

Wei Wu looked at the dog-raising hybrid with a strange expression on his face and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Did this guy get the wrong script? Is this what he should say?"
