"Deng Zhi, what do you think of this battle?" Zhao Yun rode his horse and walked on the battlefield that had just been cleaned, and asked one of the generals beside him.

This is a young general who is not much different from Zhao Yun's age, named Deng Zhi, who only joined the Han army half a year ago, and then worked under Zhao Yun, and now he is in the position of regiment commander, with more than 18,000 people in his hands, and his own strength is also extremely good, and he is a strong man in the middle of the congenital period.

Listening to Zhao Yun's words, Deng Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Dongying soldiers is really not weak, and even on the Donglong Continent, we can't find a few such an army, if all the Dongying soldiers are like this, then this time our war on Shikoku Island may not be so easy." ”

Nodding, Zhao Yun said: "What you said is right, what we thought before was too simple, Dongying can't be compared with those unpopular princes in the Donglong Continent, if we want to conquer Dongying, we have to spend a lot of effort, this time 150,000 soldiers, under the first battle, nearly 10,000 casualties, in this way, to conquer the entire Shikoku Island, I don't know how many soldiers sacrificed!" ”

Shikoku Island is not smaller than Kyushu Island, not to mention more, three or five hundred thousand troops are still together, except for those newly recruited soldiers, the elite Dongying soldiers are conservatively estimated to be above 100,000, and it is precisely because of this that Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi feel that this battle is not easy to fight.

"General, according to the last general, it is not weak for us to occupy the beach, establish a military base, step by step, steady and steady, we have enough food, even if it is not enough, we can still plunder from the land of Dongying, so we can completely slow down the pace of advancement, and wait for reinforcements to arrive from the Donglong Continent, in this case, it is also a good thing for us!" Deng Zhi suggested.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun said: "What you say makes sense, but in this way, when will you get to occupy Shikoku Island?" You know, the latest plan, we will conquer Dongying within a year, so we can't delay this battle. ”

After a pause, Zhao Yun continued: "Although in terms of numbers, we do not have an advantage, but we have Shenwei cannons, if we can make better use of them, we will not be weaker than the Dongying people, but before that, we must understand the every move of the Dongying soldiers, this time, we only have eight thousand cavalry, I will allocate you two thousand people, you will break them into pieces, and go around to find out the whereabouts of the Dongying army, have you done it?" ”

"General, what about language?" Deng Zhi said with some concern, "Not all Dongying people can speak Chinese, as long as they communicate, they will definitely be exposed." ”

Zhao Yun returned and said: "Try to avoid communication, when you need to find someone to ask, you can sneak into looking for businessmen who often go to sea, they definitely know Chinese, but we must do a good job of secrecy, if necessary, even if we kill them, we must not expose us, remember, only by fully understanding the movements of the Dongying army, we can fight better, all this depends on you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Deng Zhi looked solemn and said: "General rest assured, the last general will do his best!" ”

。。。。。。

In just two days, Zhao Yun's department established a large-scale military camp within a radius of twenty miles from the landing site, and occasionally the Dongying army came to attack, but under the leadership of Zhao Yun and with the help of Shenwei artillery, the Dongying people could only return in vain every time.

After the establishment of the military camp, it took a full ten days for Zhao Yun to finally roughly grasp the movements of the Dongying army, and it was at this time that he took the initiative to attack, but all he led was five thousand iron cavalry!

Zhao Yun ordered the five thousand cavalry under his command to bring only ten days of dry food, and then one person with two horses, accompanied him to the battle, which brought together more than fifty congenital realm powerhouses, Wang Realm powerhouses, and even half-emperors, but they would not shoot at will, but with them, at least Zhao Yun had a lot less worries.

At night, Zhao Yun led the troops out of the barracks, and then began a planned march, in the early morning of the next day, with lightning speed to raid a number of about 30,000 Dongying military camp, the unprepared Dongying soldiers were completely blinded, only half a pillar of incense time, Dongying soldiers began to rout, Zhao Yun waved the army to cover the kill, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and his own loss was only about 300.

This was only the beginning, and in the next few days, Zhao Yun led the small cavalry behind him to launch a surprise attack on the camp of the Dongying army, causing heavy losses to the Dongying soldiers.

After Zhao Yun swept away the eighth Dongying army camp, a news came that Taro Watanabe, the actual controller of Shikoku Island, gathered all his soldiers and claimed to be 320,000 and marched towards the coast, and he tried to fight to the death with the landed Han army in the coastal area!

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Yun did not stop at all, and led the cavalry soldiers who were only in their early 3,000s to quickly return to the Han army camp to prepare for the upcoming battle.

At present, Zhao Yun's capable soldiers, in addition to the relatively weak naval division on land, there are still 128,000 soldiers, these 128,000 soldiers are divided into three formations, 30,000 soldiers on the left and right, and 68,000 soldiers in the middle, forming a corner and preparing for a big battle.

Watanabe Taro was also ruthless, and summoned ninety percent of the troops on Shikoku Island to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, vowing to wipe out the Han army, and hundreds of thousands of horses on both sides lined up on the beach by the sea, and the war was about to break out!

Zhao Yun looked at the formation of the Dongying army three miles away, and saw that the Chinese army was dominated by foot soldiers, and a large number of cavalry gathered on both sides, the number of cavalry was conservatively estimated to be above 30,000, in fact, Zhao Yun knew that although Watanabe Taro claimed to be an army of 320,000, in fact there were only 190,000 soldiers.

The Watanabe family is different from other princes, the Watanabe family takes the elite route, he doesn't need those recruits, originally, the Watanabe family has 300,000 regular troops, of which 50,000 are elite, but during this time, Zhao Yun continued to lead the troops to sneak attack, coupled with the previous battle on the coastline, the 300,000 troops under the Watanabe family have been reduced to only 220,000, except for 30,000 soldiers guarding various towns, the remaining 190,000 soldiers have almost all arrived.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of war drums began to remember, and the loud sound of trumpets also came out, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the world, and at noon, the Dongying army launched the first attack.

Perhaps because he was afraid of the strength of the Han army, he only sent 10,000 heavy armor at the beginning of the period, and in the face of this, Zhao Yun ordered a salvo of eight bull crossbows, and hundreds of eight bull wrath were used at the same time, even if those soldiers were Dongying's heavy armor warriors, they still suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.

The infantry tried to no avail, and then saw the cavalry on both sides of the Dongying army formation start to act! 8910
