Chapter 42: Pacification
"Woo woo woo~"
At the sound of whimpering horns, groups of soldiers in black armor were moving forward quickly in a formation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Pedal Pedal ~"
At the front of the army, a banner engraved with the word "Honda" was waved in the wind, and the Honda Tadakatsu, who was wearing a golden helmet with horns and horns, wearing black armor, and holding a halberd of the two heavenly paintings in his hand, rode on a tall horse, with the face of a resolute horse, and the majesty of the first fierce general of Japan's Warring States was revealed.
"Kill!"
"Ahh
"Ahh
At this time, the advance of the entire Zhongwu battalion was only a few hundred meters away from Sima Yu and the guards who were fighting with the rebels in front, and from a distance, you could see that the guards cavalry resisting the impact of the rebels on the dirt slope were fighting fiercely, and the earth-shattering shouts and screams could be heard clearly.
"Blade Formation! Assault of the whole army! ”
The guards on the dirt slope rode no more than a thousand people, and on three sides were a large number of besieging rebel soldiers.
After the crossbow attack and the armored cavalry attack were blocked, the disadvantage of the insufficient strength of the guards cavalry gradually became apparent, and Feng Hui, who had regained the initiative, commanded the rebels to surround the guards cavalry on the dirt slope and the armored cavalry regiments that were still raging in the enemy's formation.
Although the two armies are still in a stalemate for the time being, the situation has gradually developed in an unfavorable direction for Sima Yu.
After all, these guards cavalry are the only formed cavalry under his command at present, and if they fight to the death with these rabbles here, it must be a big blow to the Yangwu army.
Therefore, Honda Tadakatsu, who had just arrived, did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered.
"Drive!"
"Kill!"
After giving the order, Honda Tadakatsu took the lead, jumped out and led his 100 guards cavalry to kill the rebels.
"Drink!"
Fang Tian's halberd drew a wonderful arc in the air, like a death scythe dancing in the air, as soon as it broke into the rebel formation, the Fang Tian halberd in Honda Tadakatsu's hand had already taken the lives of several rebel soldiers who had no time to react.
The sharp halberd blades easily slashed through their throats, and streams of blood shot out, leaving the rebel soldiers powerless to fight back in the face of the prowess Honda Tadakatsu.
"Archers! Shoot! ”
When the Chungmu battalion army advanced to a distance of 200 paces from the rebels, the military commander Ueda Ichiro gave an order, and 500 archers quickly spread out from both flanks, drew their bows on the spot and fired at the rebel soldiers who were charging at the guards cavalry.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
The sudden rain of arrows falling from the sky landed directly in the dense area where the rebel soldiers gathered, and even the well-equipped rebel soldiers were still injured and dozens killed in the panic because of their lack of combat experience.
These loyal soldiers were originally robbers who had been plundering everywhere for a long time, and they had rich combat experience, and after serving Sima Yu, they became loyal supporters of Sima Yu, and after a month of training, they had begun to have the temperament of an elite soldier.
These 500 archers were selected by Honda Tadakatsu from tens of thousands of Japanese warriors, and all of them were accurate in their archery, directly and accurately covering the area of the rebel soldiers, without harming their own guards.
"Mom, it's terrifying, run!"
A rain of arrows fell, and the rebel soldiers who were attacking the Guards Cavalry were suddenly frustrated, and some of the rebel soldiers who were in front of them and were within the range of the archers of the Chung Wu Battalion began to retreat.
In the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, few people dare to face the scene that is tantamount to dangerous zero-distance contact.
"Death to those who retreat! Rush up! ”
Looking at the rebel soldiers who showed signs of collapse, the overseers behind immediately drew their swords and began to block the defeated soldiers, barely suppressing the formation, but unfortunately the good times did not last long.
"Kill!"
After a few rounds of arrows, in a burst of oppressive cheers, the Zhongwu battalion finally arrived, and a soldier of the Zhongwu battalion in light armor raised his spear and stabbed at the rebels in front of him.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Ahh
"I don't want to die!"
"Fuck off! Let Lao Tzu go first! ”
。。。。。。
The dense gun array immediately set off a wave of blood among the rebels, and in the face of the sharp gun array of the soldiers of the Zhongwu Battalion, how could the rebel soldiers, the rookies on the battlefield, resist it, and only one wave of attacks took the lives of hundreds of soldiers, and the military array that was barely suppressed by the Inspector also collapsed in an instant.
Looking at the strong pressure of the loyal battalion military column, a large number of rebel soldiers directly turned around and fled to push away their companions, everyone you push me, I push you, and without giving in to each other, it immediately caused a violent chaos among the rebels.
The approximately 3,000 rebel soldiers on the entire breakthrough were directly targeted by the Chungmu battalion in the chaos, and under the leadership of Honda Tadakatsu, the Chungmu battalion army quickly drove all the rebels down the dirt slope like a bulldozer, leaving nearly 1,000 corpses on the ground.
"The subordinates are late, and the lord is atoning for his sins!"
After relieving the siege of the Guards Cavalry, Honda Tadashi quickly came to Sima Yu, who was surrounded by Wu Song and others, and was intact, respectfully pleading guilty.
"Qilin City is nearly 15 kilometers away from here, it is not easy for you to lead a large army to arrive here in less than 2 hours after receiving the military order, how can I still punish you. But I underestimated their courage and determination! Hachiro, let's calm the chaos first! ”
Sima Yu touched the blood splattered on his face, shook his head and said to Honda Tada.
In this battle, he underestimated the rebels, and he did not expect that the rebel soldiers would dare to take the initiative to attack after seeing him arrive.
"Yes!"
"Kill!"
Honda Tadakatsu heard the words and received the order, and immediately led the Tadamu battalion to launch a final assault on the rebel soldiers.
"Ahh
"Run! Enemy reinforcements! ”
The addition of the Zhongwu Battalion, a vital force, immediately changed the situation on the battlefield, and the victorious scales were completely inclined to Sima Yu's side.
Under the combined action of the Guards Cavalry and the Chung Wu Battalion, the remaining thousands of rebel soldiers finally could not bear it anymore and began to flee in formations.
The soldiers of the Yangwu Army are too strong, and these recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time finally understand the fierceness of the Yangwu Army for the first time, but the price they paid is a little too high.
By the time of the afternoon, the war at the rebel camp outside Sanxing Town had completely ended, and most of the corpses on the battlefield had been cleared, and a marching camp of neatly arranged tents had been replaced not far from the battlefield.
Inside the camp, a group of soldiers from the Chung Vu Battalion who were in charge of patrolling were making close rounds.
To the southeast of the camp, in a specially carved clearing, a large number of prisoners are being held, and all their armor and ordnance have been confiscated.
"Hmm~"
"Ah~"
Many of these captives were wounded, and from time to time there were bursts of moaning from the mouths of some seriously wounded rebel soldiers.
In the crowd of rebel soldiers, several teams of medical teams are constantly shuttling and reserving the wounded rebel soldiers.
The whole battle has long ended, with the addition of the Zhongwu battalion, the already demoralized rebel soldiers finally could not resist the Yangwu army's troops, the whole line fled, the remnants of more than 6,000 rebels were directly intercepted by the North Battalion of the Navy led by Yu Dayou, who came from the southwest, and the rebel leaders Zhao Chuan and Feng Hui were killed, more than 5,000 people were killed, and more than 4,000 people were captured.
As for the other 10,000 rebels who fled when Zhao Chuan and Feng Hui led their troops to resist the guards cavalry, they were directly annihilated by the naval division Nanying who had already been ordered to wait on the road and the foot of Shiyan Slope in the process of scattering and fleeing.
Among these fleeing rebels, Zhao Chuan and Feng Shurong were among them, and Zhao Chuan and Feng Hui desperately wanted to stop Sima Yu precisely to create conditions for their only son to escape, so as not to leave the entire family behind.
At this point, the rebel army, which was originally powerful, was completely annihilated.
"Lord, the casualties have been counted, in this battle, my guards cavalry lost 87 people, the loyal battalion lost 23 people, a total of 10,389 prisoners, I don't know what these captives the lord plans to do?"
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the captain of the Zhongwu battalion, Honda Tadashikatsu, knelt on the ground with a respectful face and reported to Sima Yu.
"All the commanders of more than 100 people were executed, and all the other captives were reduced to slaves and sent to various places to serve as coolies, and they could only regain their freedom after serving for five years!"
Sima Yu looked at the post-war statistics in his hand, and his face sank like a waterway.
"Yes!"
Honda Tadakatsu heard this, bowed down and took the command.
There must be no mercy on the rebellion, and it is necessary to make an example of each other, otherwise it will only fuel the ambition in the hearts of more people.
Soon, a scream rang out in the open space outside the tent, and hundreds of generals who had previously been powerful in the rebels were summarily executed.
"Boom~"
There was a tsunami-like rumble from the galloping road outside Qilin City, and the dense horse's hooves struck on the spacious bluestone galloping road.
"It's the cavalry, our army is back!"
Such a huge momentum had already alarmed the people of the entire city, and a large number of people gathered around the open space outside the city, looking at the northeast direction and cheering incessantly.
I saw that on the galloping road hundreds of meters outside the north gate of Qilin City, a black cloud was rapidly coming in the direction of the city gate.
The black armor was like a cloud, the flags were all over the sky, and more than 20,000 troops from the five battalions of the Shaking Mountain Battalion, the Guards Battalion, the Changfeng Battalion, the Guoyi Army, and the Huben Battalion finally rushed back to Qilin City under the command of Xu Shu.
It was the five battalions that followed Sima Yu to attack Chenshi County this time, and all of them rode the Hequ horses that Sima Yu drove out from the treasury system to rush back.
Seeing that Qilin City was in sight, the march of the army slowly slowed down, after all, most of them were only able to ride horses, far from reaching the level of the guards cavalry.
With so many horses and cavalry, it is no wonder that they are invincible throughout the riverbank area, and it seems that the strength of this neighbor will have to be reassessed in the future.
At this time, Liu Wenxiu, who was dressed in strong clothes, was also outside Qilin City, looking at the black-armored army surging in the distance like mountains and seas with a solemn face, and said secretly with a heavy heart.
"General! The lord has an order, tell us to hurry back to what a terrier! ”
Just as Liu Wenxiu was pondering, a strong man dressed like them hurriedly came to his side and said with an anxious expression.
"Already at war?"
Liu Wenxiu's heart sank again when he heard this.
"Yes, three days ago, Sun Kewang suddenly launched an attack from Wujian Town to Xianlong Town, and the lord has already led his troops to attack, please hurry back to the town of He Terrier!"
"Have you found Miss?"
Liu Wenxiu was silent when he heard this, and turned to ask the guard beside him.
"No, we have asked all over the entire Qilin City, and we have not found the whereabouts of the young lady"
One of the guards hurriedly said.
"You stay and continue to look for Miss, and when you find it, send Miss back to He Terrier as soon as possible! Walk! ”
After a little hesitation, Liu Wenxiu quickly made up his mind, and instructed the four guards who followed him, and after speaking, he quickly passed through Qilin City in the direction of Jumei County, which was west of the city.
The reason why Liu Wenxiu and the others, who had already left, returned to Qilin City was to find Li Manxin, who came out after leaving a letter, but now that the war broke out, he had to return, and Li Manxin could only let the people below continue to search.
