Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Although Jiro Koizumi is not occupying new cities, he also gave back Ehime, which he had previously occupied.

But Meiji was not satisfied with such results. What he wanted was to drive Koizumi Jiro out of Shikoku Island, or to directly eliminate Koizumi Jiro.

Therefore, Meiji sent a stern telegram to the three division commanders on the front line, urging them to march as soon as possible and eliminate Jiro Koizumi.

Although the three people who received Meiji Tianhuang's order were very reluctant, they could not refuse directly.

So, after the three of them discussed, they decided to use an encirclement method to surround Koizumi Jiro.

The [-]th Division marched from north to south from Okawa, targeting Kochi City. The [-]th Division marched from west to east from Niyodo River and advanced eastward to block Koizumi Jiro's route back to Otsuki.

The Thirteenth Division attacked from Tosa to the east, and then from east to west, hoping to force Koizumi Jiro into the field and the Muroto area. Then the three divisions, totaling more than 7 people, were in the field. The Muroto area launched a general attack on Koizumi Jiro and eliminated him.

Their ideas are great, but they are also very aggressive.

Not to mention other things, just talking about the Thirteenth Division, he was separated from the Eleventh Division, and the Twelfth Division was too far away. There is a day's journey between these two parts.

If something unexpected happens along the way, it is very likely that it will be delayed for three or four days, let alone one day.

This created conditions for Koizumi Jiro to annihilate the [-]th Division.

After Koizumi Jiro learned about the march routes of the three divisions through the intelligence personnel in Daxia, he felt that the time had come for him to severely damage the three divisions.

As long as he can delay the 3th and [-]th Divisions for three days, Koizumi Jiro will be confident that he can eliminate the [-]th Division.

As for how to delay it for three days, Koizumi Jiro already had a plan.

This plan benefited from Daxia.

As mentioned before, under the auspices of Lin Yi, the Weapons Research Institute of Daxia has developed new things like landmines.

But if you haven’t used this thing before, you don’t know whether it works or not.

If any weapon wants to obtain the most realistic data, it must pass the test of war.

In Daxia now, it is unlikely that a large-scale war will break out in a short period of time. But in Goryeo and Sakura Country, the war has not stopped yet. So Lin Yi thought of testing the empire's new weapons in Sakura Country and Goryeo.

In other words, Lin Yi wants to use Sakura Country and Goryeo as weapons testing grounds for the empire.

Therefore, Linyi allocated a batch of landmines to Koizumi Jiro.

Not too much, only ten thousand landmines in total. At the same time, Lin Yi also sent an orangutan to teach Koizumi Jiro how to use these weapons.

Koizumi Jiro could also understand Lin Yi's thoughts very well. In addition, these mines were needed now, so Koizumi Jiro had people lay out a minefield on the main road from Kochi to Aki.

Because the number of landmines was too small, Koizumi Jiro was unable to arrange the mines very tightly. He only placed mines in some more dangerous places.

After all, Koizumi Jiro just wanted to delay the arrival of the two divisions, not how many enemy troops he wanted to kill through these mines.

As long as the mines can cause damage to the [-]th and [-]th Divisions and force them to stop and clear mines, it is enough.

After laying the mines, Koizumi Jiro took the initiative to retreat to Tano City. Then we waited for the Thirteenth Division to come.

Soon, the [-]th and [-]th Divisions arrived near the minefield, and they were blocked by mines.

In the history of previous wars, there were no landmines, so the [-]th and [-]th Divisions walked on the main road with swagger as before.

As a result, it was no surprise that someone stepped on a landmine and was killed directly. This made the [-]th and [-]th Divisions stop involuntarily.

In fact, the landmine explosion only killed one person and injured two. This casualty is actually nothing to a team of tens of thousands. But the psychological pressure caused to ordinary soldiers is very great.

After all, no one knows whether they will step on a landmine the next time they step down.

There was no choice but to stop the two divisions and start checking the road conditions.

But even during the inspection, many people were killed due to lack of experience. This made the frightened [-]th and [-]th Divisions even more cautious.

As for speed, it can be said that they did not go far in two days.

And this is what Koizumi Jiro hopes.

Using the two days gained by the mines, Koizumi Jiro took the initiative to launch an attack on the [-]th Division.

At this time, when the Thirteenth Division learned that the Eleventh and Twelfth Divisions were blocked, he felt something was wrong. So he also ordered the [-]th Division to stop and wait for the [-]th and [-]th Divisions to deal with the mines before attacking the fields.

However, Koizumi Jiro did not give him this opportunity at all. What he was waiting for was that the attack of the [-]th and [-]th Divisions was blocked.

Therefore, Koizumi Jiro took his elite division and took the initiative to attack Kumu Daiichi's [-]th Division.

Under the powerful firepower output of Koizumi Jiro's division and the fearless attack of the soldiers, the [-]th Division, composed entirely of recruits, could not stop it at all.

In just one and a half days, the [-]th Division was completely defeated.

Koizumi Jiro, with the idea that injuring ten of his fingers would be better than cutting off one of his fingers, he directly pursued the defeated troops of the [-]th Division. After chasing until near Haiyang, the [-]th Division was basically annihilated.

Koizumi Jiro estimated that the number of the [-]th Division that escaped was less than three thousand.

After doing all this, Koizumi Jiro turned his gun and launched an attack on the [-]th and [-]th Divisions still in Aki.

At this time, the [-]th and [-]th Divisions, who learned that the [-]th Division was completely defeated, were frightened by Koizumi Jiro.

The morale of these two divisions was already low due to the impact of landmines in recent days. Coupled with the defeat of the [-]th Division, these two divisions, which were also composed of new recruits, were almost on the verge of collapse.

With such morale, the two divisions did not dare to fight against Koizumi Jiro, and they could only choose to retreat.

Koizumi Jiro began to follow the two divisions in an orderly manner, chasing leisurely.

Koizumi Jiro feels that he is like a wolf now, needing to keep an eye on the prey patiently. As long as the prey makes the slightest mistake, he can pounce on it and bite it.

Koizumi Jiro is not in a hurry, but some people are starting to get anxious.

After Meiji Tenhuang learned about the corrupt war situation in Shikoku Island, he became furious again in his palace.

But this time, Meiji did not dare to give any instructions to Shikoku Island. He also discovered that he seemed to have no command ability.

Originally, the Meiji Army still had the upper hand on Shikoku Island, but because of what she did, the current battle situation on Shikoku Island began to become confusing again.
