Chapter 169 Unlucky Xu Wei

"Ding, you have recruited Xu Wei. The B-level achievement task 'Three Great Talents of the Ming Dynasty' is unlocked. The completion rate of this achievement task is 33.3%."

The strategist Xu Wei appears in Li Qian's camp, and the B-level achievement mission "Three Generations of Talents in the Ming Dynasty" is also unlocked.

The three great talents of the Ming Dynasty were Xu Wei, Xie Jin and Yang Shen.

Li Qian has just recruited Xu Wei, and he only needs to recruit Xie Jin and Yang Shen to complete the task.

A counselor wearing a tattered black turban and a white cloth appeared in Li Qian's camp.

His eyes were bright and there was pride between his brows.

Li Qian knew something about Xu Wei's story.

Xu Wei lost his father when he was young, and his mother was driven away by his stepmother. At the age of 21, he married into a wealthy family in Shaoxing. However, when he was 25, Xu's family property was seized by a wealthy scoundrel. When he was 26, his wife died of illness, and he failed to pass the imperial examinations many times.

When he was in his thirties, Japanese pirates invaded the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian. Xu Wei finally had the opportunity to display his talents and offer advice to officers and soldiers. He attracted the attention of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, and became Hu Zongxian's aide. He lured the pirates Xu Hai, Wang Zhi and others into surrender and killed them.

But only four years later, Hu Zongxian was dismissed from office because of the "Yan Party Case" and later committed suicide. Xu Wei suffered mental problems as a result. Because he was arrogant and did not manage his business, he lived in poverty in his old age and eventually died of depression.

In his old age, Xu Wei went to Liaodong and had a good relationship with Li Chengliang's sons, Li Rusong, Li Rubai, Li Ruzhen, Li Ruzhang and Li Rumei, and taught them military tactics.

In short, Xu Wei was talented but extremely unlucky. The bright years in his life lasted only a few short years, and misfortune accompanied him throughout his life.

"Wen Chang greets you, sir. I have a lot of knowledge, and I will only use it for you."

When Xu Wei saw that Li Qian had a strong army and powerful horses, he thought that there was a place for them to use their military strength and he was overjoyed.

What he lacked was an opportunity.

Xu Wei's courtesy name was also Wenchang, the same as Wei Yan?
It’s just that Xu Wei, the literary chief, is truly knowledgeable and talented, while Wei Yan is more like a military chief.

The arrogant people under Li Qian's command, such as Wei Yan, Gao Xianzhi and others, are more arrogant than each other, so it doesn't matter if there is one more Xu Wei.

Li Qian checks Xu Wei's character panel.

……

Xu Wei's intelligence is as high as 85, enough to serve as a military advisor.

Since Xu Wei had been Hu Zongxian's adviser, he must have been quite capable.

If the troops are divided into several routes in the future, Xu Wei can serve as the military advisor for one of the routes.

Li Qian temporarily arranged for Xu Wei to assist in military affairs, and to work with advisers such as Du Ruhui and Feng Changqing to give him advice.

Li Qian's attention returned to attacking Daoshan City.

The Ming army quickly captured the outskirts of Daoshan City, and everyone was full of hope for capturing Daoshan City.

It only took the Ming army one or two days to capture the outer strongholds. With more than half a month left, how could they not capture Daoshan Castle?
Nearly 10 million Ming, Han, and Joseon troops surrounded the Dosan Castle. The Dosan Castle was built on a 50-meter-high mountain, towering and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Ming army camp could not take advantage of its military strength and could not attack from all sides.

There are still two million Japanese troops in Shimayama Castle, and outside Shimayama Castle, the Japanese troops and Japanese players together number twenty to thirty million.

The momentum for a decisive battle is here.

In the Ming army camp, commander-in-chief Li Rusong and a group of Ming army generals and rebel generals are deploying the final offensive.

The Ming army assembled a group of elite troops, preparing to assault Daoshan City with its elite forces after the Shenji Camp bombarded the city.

Boom.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder outside the tent, and the faces of counselors such as Du Ruhui, Xu Wei, and Song Yingchang changed drastically.

Some lord players hadn't reacted yet when they noticed that some of the big shots in the account looked pale. They didn't understand the reason and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"There will be heavy rain in the coming days, and I'm afraid the firearms of the Shenji Camp will be affected."

Song Yingchang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was also familiar with military affairs.

The Shenji Camp has a fatal weakness, which is its fear of water.

Once the gunpowder of the Shenji Camp is soaked by heavy rain, the firearms will be useless.

"Once the heavy rain starts, we don't know when it will end. We might as well attack the island city in one fell swoop before we can't use firearms."

Cha Dashou suggested attacking the city directly.

"The night is long and dreams are many, let's attack the city as soon as possible."

"Seconded."

The generals of the Ming army were generally arrogant. Facing the Japanese army that was attacking from both inside and outside, the simplest method was to forcibly capture the Shimayama Castle before the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and then turn around to deal with the enemy's reinforcements.

"Some troops will block the reinforcements, and some troops will attack the city."

Li Rusong finally made the decision and agreed to Cha Dashou's tactics.

Li Rusong was equally radical and wanted a decisive battle before it rained.

Li Qian joined the siege troops.

However, Li Qian did not choose to join the vanguard.

The strength of the island mountain city is obvious to all, and the vanguard troops may have a narrow escape from death.

Even if lord players are eager to achieve great things, they still have to stay alive to do so.

The Ming army's Shenjiying was used for sieges.

However, the Ming army soon discovered the problem.

Because the island city was built on a towering mountain, the general cannon could not be raised and could not hit the city wall above.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon can fire in an indirect manner, but it has little powder and a small projectile, so its range and power are insufficient, and it will not hurt a stone wall at all.

The Shenji Camp had limited effect, and the Ming army could only suppress the defenders of Daoshan Castle with arrows.

Outside Shimayama Castle, the Japanese army erected a wooden fence, which was dragged down by the Ming army's horses. Then the Ming and Han armies launched a large-scale attack and entered the San-no-maru of Shimayama Castle.

However, the corridors inside Sannomaru were complicated, and Ninomaru and Honmaru were in a commanding position. With cannons and arrows firing at the same time, the Ming and Han troops that entered Sannomaru were suppressed and suffered heavy casualties.

The Ming and Han armies could only engage in close combat with the defenders of Sannomaru, but were attacked by the Japanese army in three positions at the same time.

In the end, Cha Dashou had to flee from Daoshan City in a panic, and 100,000 of the 300,000 Ming troops attacking the city suffered casualties.

Even the commander of the Ming army, Li Rusong, did not expect that Daoshan Castle was so strong.

"The second batch of troops, begin the siege!"
