Chapter 195: Desperate Breakthrough
Japan is an island country, there are no grasslands, and they don't raise horses, so where did their war horses come from? Japan actually had its own local horses, and at that time Japan also had a special army to raise war horses. However, due to the climate and other reasons, the local war horses in Japan are not only very thin, but also have very poor physical strength, and they are often out of breath before they have run far, and they cannot be used for war at all. Japan also tried to form cavalry with its own local horses, but the results were very unsatisfactory, and it did not form combat effectiveness at all. Later, the Japanese came up with a way to introduce excellent stallions from the West and start breeding. After a long time, they raised a large number of good horses. This kind of horse is tall and handsome, and its explosive power is very strong, and it is not at all comparable to the Mongolian horses that the Ming Dynasty mainly rides.
When they launched a charge, the overwhelming momentum of the 300 war horses that erupted made these brocade guards panic at that time. But this is their duty, they know that they will die, they must do it, otherwise the fate that awaits them is more terrible than direct death. Iron discipline made them develop an absolute spirit of obedience, and in the face of powerful enemies, none of them fled in the wilderness, but tightly protected Mao Yulong and ran wildly.
But at this time, Mao Yulong woke up, and the original fear and worry, inexplicably lost, really reached the point of danger, but it was shocked. Looking forward at the distant city of Hangzhou, and then looking back at the lonely military camp, I calculated quickly in my heart. These people are far away from Hangzhou City, even if they can rush to the city of Hangzhou, it is estimated that they will be caught up by the enemy and hacked to death and injured countless times. And Hangzhou City must not open the door, once Hangzhou City opens the door and lets themselves in, these enemies who entangle themselves will take advantage of the situation to occupy the city gate, then Hangzhou City will be broken.
Now his only refuge is to return to the barracks, so he immediately made a decision and shouted at the hundred households of the brocade guard: "We can't go back to Hangzhou, let's return to the barracks, turn around quickly, turn around quickly." β
Jinyi Wei Baihu understood Mao Yulong's thoughts at that time, and shouted loudly to the brothers beside him: "Listen to Xiao Xiucai, turn around quickly, we will rush back to the barracks." β
It's not that it is impossible to continue to flee to the west, but the enemy's war horses are too fast, and they are not at all comparable to the Mongolian horses ridden by their own Jinyi cavalry, and the only way out is to rush back to the barracks.
As a result, in this panicked U-turn, a lot of time was wasted, and the 300 horses of the Japanese blocked the way forward like a whirlwind. They had to put this squad of brocade guards to protect this potentially important person, drive them away, and force them into the city. Now the pirates of the little dog have begun to press up, as long as they break through the city gate, the city of Hangzhou will be broken.
In front of him is a wall-like enemy, and it must be rushed over to protect this little show into the barracks.
Grabbing Mao Yulong by the neck, he lifted him from his short, useless war horse, and placed him behind him. The hundred households of the Jinyi Guard tied it to their waists with their robes: "Xiao Xiucai, I am your shield." Then without waiting for Mao Yulong to say anything, he yelled at his 100 brothers: "Brothers, what is the purpose of our Jinyiwei? β
"Do whatever it takes to get the job done." The 100 brothers raised their knives high and shouted in unison in reply.
"Jinyiwei, chargeβ" Then with a knock on the stirrup, Jinyiwei embroidered the spring knife and pointed diagonally, rushing towards the enemy on the opposite side.
Mao Yulong hugged the waist of this brocade guard, stuck his face on his back, and closed his eyes.
The sound of the wind whistling in my ears was heard, the trampling of horses' hooves on the earth, then the sound of violent swords clashing, and then screams after screams.
The war horse was still galloping, but there was a hot liquid spraying on his face, he knew that it was blood, closed his eyes, and did not know if it was the blood of the enemy, or the blood of this hundred households.
Heavy breathing erupted from Baihu's mouth, and when he opened his eyes violently, he saw that the things around him were flying backwards, and Mao Yulong asked nervously: "General, are you injured?" β
Didn't get the answer he wanted, this hundred households roared loudly, struggling to swing out one big knife after another, the sound of the collision between the embroidered spring knife and the enemy's weapons was endless, and the enemy's screams were accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, which kept ringing in front of him. Mao Yulong saw one enemy after another fall to the ground, but as one after another pieces of sword light flashed, the body of this brocade-clothed guard Baihu continued to have blood bursting out, and Baihu's painful gasps became more and more urgent. But this hundred households gritted their teeth and persevered, constantly struggling to wield their embroidered spring knives.
The colliding horses kept passing by him, and the horses were either empty, or one after another hideous enemies, but no one cared about this anymore, just desperately colliding and fighting.
On the one hand, there are beasts without humanity, and on the other hand, there are loyalists who are determined to complete their tasks. The two sides were mixed together, one to stop them from advancing and drive them back, and the other to break through the obstacles in front of them and escape.
It's a clash of beasts and loyalty, but ultimately one end, to achieve one's own end.
The two sides hedged against each other, and the time to charge was just a blink of an eye, Mao Yulong felt that the fighting sound in front of him was gone, and he had already broken through the enemy's resistance with this hundred households, but when he turned his head to look back, there were still more than two dozen Jinyi guards surrounded by the enemy, and among the enemy's various weapons, they were killed in a blink of an eye.
"Jinyi Wei 123 Banner left to block the enemy, and the rest followed me to protect Xiao Xiucai." The war horse did not stop galloping, and the hundred households gave a loud order.
One after another, after receiving the order, one after another Jinyi guards escaped and ascended to heaven, they did not hesitate to restrain their horses, once again raised their embroidered spring knives, and reflexively pounced on the enemy who was chasing after them for their mission, and the shouts of killing sounded again.
But those three small flags had already suffered heavy casualties, and there were only a dozen of the 30 men left, and they did not have much time to delay the enemy, almost only a dozen breaths, and they were all annihilated by the enemy who rushed over. The tall Japanese war horses continued to charge here, and a dozen lives had just opened up the distance, getting closer and closer.
The Jinyi Wei Baihu, who was desperately riding his horse and galloping, didn't hear the hooves of his war horse at all, and ordered loudly to his subordinates: "Four, five, or six small flags are still alive?" β
There was an immediate echo around him. "There are five more in the Four Banners, and there are nine more in the Six Banners." But none of the Five Banners answered.
"The Seventh Banner joins, and no matter what, stop the enemy's advance."
A group of real men immediately reined in the war horses, turned the horse's head, Mao Yulong looked back, and the twenty or so men automatically lined up in a horizontal line, isolated between themselves and the enemy, and one of the men shouted: "Swear to complete the mission, brothers, charge." Then he held aloft the embroidered spring knife, with blood all over his body, and met the enemy who rushed over without hesitation. A battle subsided in a blink of an eye, and more than two dozen men were wiped out in a collision. 22 Baidu take a look at the latest chapter of "Lonely Ministers and Jiezhong Literature in the Late Ming Dynasty" to read for free for the first time.
