"Quick! Fast!! Hold on a little longer, Heiankyo's family is waiting for us. "Yuan Weiyi knows very well how to boost morale, and a sentence of taking you home is enough to make these people never abandon him.

As he was walking, Yuan Weiyi suddenly heard a dull sound, he fell down suddenly, and then said, "It's the sound of horses' hooves, at least a hundred horses, fast!" Who will speak Song and tell them that we are here to surrender! ”

"I will, everyone shout with me!" Minamoto Yoshikoku said, "Don't shoot arrows! Emperor Toba is here! Hurry up and shout! ”

"Don't shoot arrows! Emperor Toba is here!! The generals of the Yuan family shouted one after another, and the shouts were loud enough to spread for miles in the wilderness.

"What are they shouting?" The minister in the back heard the shouting, asked the pursuers to stop, and then listened attentively, and immediately shouted "Quick!" Catch up! The Yuan family and the Song people are about to pick up! ”

Yuan Weiyi heard it well, there was indeed a cavalry patrolling, and the head of the capital listened to the shouting, and said strangely, "Emperor Toba? Isn't that the king of the Wa Kingdom? How did it end up here? One platoon followed me, the others were two arrows away behind me, beware of an ambush! ”

The cavalry immediately divided into two teams, and they all came to Yuan Weiyi and others with a team of cavalry, and saw that Yuan Weiyi had hundreds of people, but under the torches, he could see that he did not put on a battle formation, the arrows were not on the bow, and the knives were not unsheathed, so he was relieved.

"Who are you? Why here? Where is the Toba King? Du Tou looked around vigilantly and found that there was no place to hide soldiers nearby, so he was a little relieved, but he still put a small shield on his hand.

Yuan Weiyi stepped forward, all of them hummed, the tip of the gun pointed at the source of the righteous katana, Yuan Weiyi oh, threw the knife to the samurai behind, and then stepped forward and said, "Under is the pillar of the Yuan family, Yuan Weiyi, we heard that Pingyin Hou Lixian corporal, meritocracy, specially come to defect!" ”

"You're here to surrender?" Dutou put down the tip of the spear slightly, and then said, "What about the Toba King you talked about before?" ”

"That's... Only when we see Lord Pingyin can we say it! Yuan Weiyi was worried that the Pingyin cavalry in front of him would take the credit, so he said.

"Dutou, look at that, look at the torches, I'm afraid there are thousands of people!" A sergeant pointed to one place and said, and he stood on his horse and looked, and sure enough, he saw a fiery dragon running towards him.

"My lord, those are the pursuers who are chasing us, please take us away quickly." Yuan Weiyi said anxiously.

But the head of the capital said unhurriedly, "But there are only a thousand people, this is a plain, why are you afraid of it?" Don't move here, watch me break the enemy! ”

As he spoke, the sergeant next to him took out his whistle and blew it rhythmically, and dozens of horsemen in the distance heard the sound and followed.

"Master of the family, this is only a hundred horses, how can it be against a thousand? I'd better leave as soon as possible. Yuan Yiguo looked at the cavalry lined up on the side and persuaded Yuan Weiyi.

Yuan Weiyi shook his head and said, "We will be under the command of the Marquis of Pingyin in the future, if the Marquis of Pingyin knows that because of me, he will lose his hundred horses, how angry will he be?"

In this way, I will lead people to meet the enemy with them, and you will take Emperor Toba to meet the Marquis of Pingyin. ”

"Pillars!" Yuan Yiguo grabbed Yuan Weiyi's hand and wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Weiyi shouted, "If I die, Lord Pingyin Hou will only pay more attention to our Yuan family, for the sake of the Yuan family, are you not even willing to take a few steps?" Come on! ”

Yuan Yiguo gritted his teeth and glanced at Yuan Weiyi, and left under the escort of a group of Pingyin cavalry, Yuan Weiyi took the remaining more than two hundred people and said, "Everyone, let's fight to the death for the future of the Yuan family!" ”

"Hey!"

Yuan Weiyi walked to the capital heads lined up on the side and said, "Please let us join the battle too!" We are willing to prove our loyalty with blood! ”

Nadu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You guys just press the formation on the side, don't hinder us from fighting." ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, what's your name? I just didn't remember. ”

"In the lower source for righteousness, I don't know the name of the adult."

"I am Liang Wei of the third regiment of the Liangshan Xiao Jockey!" After Liang Wei finished speaking, he said to the surroundings, "The platoon is tighter, and the enemy will arrive soon!" ”

"Liang Wei..."Yuan Weiyi muttered again, he looked at the cavalry lined up in a phalanx, and said strangely, "Shouldn't the cavalry be better in a cone formation?" Why the phalanx? is still so closely arranged, in this case, how can you show your horse martial arts? ”

Since ancient times, there were cavalry, cavalry battles rely on their own martial arts, so there are often praise for the skill of bows and horses, and the arrays are also cone-shaped formations with the warriors as the first column, which are relatively loose with each other.

And the Liangshan cavalry, because of the influence of Jiang De's great attention to the queue, coupled with the advice of Hu Yanzhuo, the most knowledgeable cavalry on the mountain, began to reform the cavalry tactics, using a wall tactic similar to that of later generations, all the cavalry are lined up in two to three rows, keep an arm's length between the cavalry and the cavalry, and use the most dense formation to hit the enemy, which will weaken the bravery of the sergeants, and strengthen the collective strength, in such a formation, the general ancient cavalry will not be an opponent, and even two hundred people will feel that they are few, To put it bluntly, such a formation is actually a situation in which the majority fights the minority is formed locally.

But this kind of wall cavalry tactics is not really only in modern times, the ancient cavalry masters know a lot of such a truth, but this requires cavalry to have a very high degree of discipline, generally only the real elite can do it, such as the iron harrier of the Western Xia, the iron floating slaughter of the Jin country, and the Great Song Dynasty, only the Western army has some small troops in the hands of the generals who can do this.

Liang Wei checked the formation twice, and then shouted, "The whole army listens to the order and prepares to fight!" ”

"Wow!" There was a sound of guns raised.

"Beep~" whistle sounded, the cavalry began to run slowly, because there were only one hundred horses, Liang Wei only lined up in two rows, but each row had a hundred meters of cross-section, fifty spears pointed forward, and less than five hundred meters ahead, it was the fire dragon that was getting closer and closer.

"Da! Da! Da da da"

The sound of hundreds of horses' hooves trampling out together made the pursuing Japanese army hurriedly stop, and the princess on the sedan chair listened to the rumbling sound that was getting closer and closer, and was so frightened that he trembled, where did they have the experience of going to the battlefield.

"What's going on? What is this sound? ”

"Oh no! It's cavalry, quick! Gather together! Array! Spearmen go to the front!! The experienced samurai in the army looked at the frightened minister, cursed in his heart, and began to arrange the troops with the sergeants.

"Kill!!" Liang Wei shouted, and a hundred cavalry shouted in unison, rushing to the front, and the opposite face did not shoot a few arrows, which greatly increased their confidence.

The art of war is cloudy, and the rout cannot be chaos.

The Japanese army in front of him is a chaotic army.

"Poof!" Liang Wei opened the spear that stabbed at himself, and then sent his spear to the chest of the Japanese army, the war horse continued to gallop, and the Japanese army was brought down by the momentum, Liang Wei pulled out the spear with a tilt of his right hand, and then stabbed the next Japanese army.

The cavalry pressed down like a wall, and the pikemen in front of them were smashed apart without even a wave, and the cavalry continued to rush forward, no matter what it was, it was the horses' hooves trampling, the spears piercing, and the fire dragon formed by the torches was instantly beaten into a field of fireflies.

It turned out that the princess who was on the sedan chair looked at the masked knight who looked like he had come out of hell, and he was so frightened that he grabbed the sedan chair and shouted, "Run!" Come on! You guys hold me back! Resist!! ”

The sedan chair was carried by the servants of the minister's house, and he had long wanted to run, and when he heard the secretary say this, he turned his head and ran with the sedan chair on his back, and ran two steps, probably because he felt that it was too troublesome to carry the sedan chair, so he simply threw the sedan chair away, and ran away with the secretary on his back.

The secretary ran away, and the remaining sergeants were even more discouraged, and in the dark night, I don't know how many cavalry rushed over, and then there was a pursuit battle.

And the pursuit battle was a massacre for the cavalry.

Yuan Weiyi, who was in the back, looked at the scene in front of him, and was simply stunned, the army of the Wa Kingdom generally relied on bows and arrows to kill the enemy, and the use of cavalry was also mainly cavalry shooting, and the cavalry charge and killing tactics would not be used on a large scale until the Warring States Takeda Shingen.

"How can such a mighty and majestic army be the enemy?"

Yuan Weiyi suddenly felt that he might really hug a thigh.

- Heiankyo

Jiang De looked at the bird feather wrapped in the mat, shook his head, and then looked at Abe Yasujin on the side.

Abe-tai's eyes flashed with a hint of unbearability, and then said, "This is His Majesty Toba." ”

"Good! The source family abandons the darkness and turns to the light, first write down this achievement, and when this battle is successful, I will have a reward! Jiang De said happily.

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

Jiang De looked back at Toba and said, "King Toba, please write a handwritten letter." ”

"You rebels and thieves! What do you want to do? ”

"King Toba... When did I become your rebel? Jiang De squatted down, patted his face and said, "Blame... Blame your children and grandchildren. ”

"My children and grandchildren?" Before Toba could react, Jiang De said, "Come on, take it down, let him rest first, and then let him copy the handbook!" ”

"I don't copy! I don't copy!! Toba shouted frantically.

"King Toba... Did you misunderstand something? Jiang De looked at you who were erected by the sergeant and said, "Sometimes, if you write it, you write it, but it is not, and sometimes, if you say that it is not written by you, it is not written by you, yes and no!" Take it down! ”

Toba had never heard such naked words, and he was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth, he only felt that the person in front of him was not from the Song Kingdom at all, but from the Liao Kingdom.

Jiang De looked back at everyone and said, "Losing the Toba King, Fujiwara Faithful will have less capital to negotiate with Shirakawa, or it won't be long before they will join forces and let the sergeants prepare, thinking that Hakukawa will soon have a letter delivered, and at that time, it will be time to start a war." ”

- Mt. Otowa

"Smack!" Fujiwara Faithful slapped the Minister who failed to pursue but lost his troops to the ground, he gasped and looked at the ground, and after a long time, he said, "Go, tell His Majesty the Emperor that His Majesty Toba is now in the hands of the Song people, if he wants to immortalize the Japanese Kingdom, he will agree to my conditions, not only to continue our Fujiwara family, and not to pursue anyone, and I... Will give him an explanation when it's over.

If he still doesn't want to accept it, I'll take the army to join the Song people! I think that if the Song people want to govern the Wa Kingdom, they still need a Guan Bai! ”

- White River Camp

Shirakawa looked at Fujiwara's letter to him, snorted, threw it aside, and said, "Tell Fujiwara Faithful, as long as he becomes a monk afterwards, I will not blame anyone else!" ”

Because Minamoto took Toba away, the two Japanese armies that were still fighting quickly negotiated peace, and it only took one day for the Shirakawa Army to hand over the defense with the Fujiwara Army.

—May 24

In the direction of the eastern part of the country, Cheng Min looked at the wolf smoke burning at the Buluo Pass, waved his hand, dozens of artillery guns transported down from the warship were lined up, and sandbags were placed under the artillery to form a simple battery.

"Fire!" Cheng Min swung the giant axe violently, dozens of artillery pieces roared together, and dozens of lead balls visible to the naked eye flew towards the Buluo Pass, smashing on the city walls and towers of the Buluo Pass, and one was extremely lucky to hit the closed gate, the iron fence in front of the gate was hit by a cannon A depression, the lead ball smoked in the depression, and then slowly fell.

"Just hit it like that! Hit me at the gate! until the gates are broken! Cheng Min said confidently, and corresponding to him, the Japanese army on the city wall trembled in the shaking of the city wall.

At the foot of Mt. Otowaba, Shirakawa sat on a sedan chair and was carried up the mountain by a group of waiters, and Mt. Otoba, which he had not captured with all his might, had completely opened his arms to him, he looked at Fujiwara Faithful, who was kneeling on the side, and snorted coldly in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Ah, Fujiwara-sama, it's just some misunderstanding, hurry up."

Fujiwara faithfully looked at Bai He with such a smile, and only felt chills all over his body, he knew Bai He too well, and the more this was the case, the more it represented Bai He's resentment towards him.

"Your Majesty, I'm so sorry for the loss of Heian-kyo!" Fujiwara Faithful saw Shirakawa walking towards the room, and hurriedly followed.

"It's nothing, just take it back, I heard that there are only more than 10,000 people in Song."

Bai He said indifferently.

"This is only the number in Heianjing, and all the Song troops in the Wa Kingdom are probably between 30,000 and 50,000." Fujiwara Tadashi knew the situation in Kansai very well, and he believed that Shirakawa was also very clear, so he said honestly.

"Well... Let's give the young Pingyin Marquis a war letter first. Bai He got up, he had already prepared his pen and ink, Bai He wrote a few pieces of paper and said to a waiter, "Send it to the Marquis of Pingyin, I will talk to Lord Guan Bai here, and wait for you to come back." ”

The waiter answered, and after Shirakawa and the waiter left, he asked Fujiwara, "Toba was taken away by the people of the Gen family?" ”

"Weichen is incompetent, after His Majesty was taken hostage, Weichen also ordered someone to go to the rescue, but was stopped by the cavalry of the Marquis of Pingyin."

"It's nothing, but the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom can't fall into the hands of the enemy, it's too bad for us, I'm ready to re-establish the Emperor, what do you think?"

What else could Fujiwara Faithful say, he could only smile and say, "This is naturally great, but I don't know who is suitable." ”

Bai He smiled: "I think Queen Zhangzi has a child in her belly, which is very suitable." ”

Fujiwara's eyes widened, he never thought that Shirakawa could be so shameless, not to mention who the child is, what is the matter with the emperor of this belly, is this considered to be there or not?
