Uji, a small city around Kyoto, is also the main road from Nara to Kyoto, there is a river outside the city, called the Uji River, it is the middle of winter, the river is exhausted, the not very wide river has long been frozen solid, people and horses can pass without hindrance, in previous years, every such time, there are many merchants full of all kinds of goods, from the Kanto region through this place to Kyoto and other places, but now in the midst of war, this place has long been sparsely populated, along the banks of the river a faction of dead silence and depression, only the east bank of the Uji River has a small group of cavalry slowly riding horses, Looking at the clothes, it is a team of Qing army cavalry sentries, there are not many people, it is just a team of ten people, led by a young general, under the helmet is a heroic face, it looks like only twenty-five or six, this person is Zhang Miao.

Zhang Miao, the guard of Prince Cheng's Mansion, a native of Jeju, Shandong, was Li Minxing's apprentice, and then entered Prince Cheng's Mansion with Li Minxing, and served Hongqing for seven years.

It's all young people, and there are two things that can be discussed, one is the current war, this, but there's nothing to say, no one knows what the next battle will look like, so it can only be a random guess, as for the second, it's naturally a woman, especially Dongying women, it is not forbidden to play Dongying women in the left and right camps, as long as they are not brought back to the camp, they will toss how they like, and all the officers and soldiers are bloody and strong, and they have been holding back at sea for two more months, once they let go, they are all playing happily, At this time, he said that he would get up, and he was more and more proud of each other, and he almost blew himself into seven times a night.

"Brother Miao, look, there is cavalry in front of the left!"

The crowd was giggling and laughing, but they heard a cavalryman suddenly point to the left front and exclaim loudly.

"It's a dog, ready to fight!"

Zhang Miao's eyes were good, and he followed the gesture of the cavalry to look over, and immediately saw that the team of cavalry galloping was the cavalry sentry of the Wa Kingdom, and the scale was only about thirty people, it should be a sentry team.

"It's the people, sons, go on, kill them all!"

At the same time that Zhang Miao and others discovered the cavalry squad of the Japanese sentinels, the Japanese sentinels who came at a gallop also saw the cavalry squad of the Qing army that was riding their horses slowly, and this saw that their own strength was three times that of the Qing army, and the eyes of the Japanese warrior led by the Japanese immediately flashed with bloodthirsty light, and he roared, and led his troops to rush towards the cavalry squad of the Qing army with a roar.

"Raise your gun, aim, fire!"

The Qing Dynasty has always been a bow and horse to establish the country, the most important thing is the construction of the cavalry, this time the crusade, although limited to the problem of carrying capacity, the cavalry carried is not much, but the equipment is very sophisticated, a horse gun, a revolver, the end of the bullet belt sac is also inserted in the long-handled grenade five, and equipped with a saber made of stainless steel, wearing light armor, can be said to be armed to the teeth, there is no doubt, with the help of so many advanced weapons, Zhang Miao does not put the opponent in the eyes of many people, While ordering his subordinates to open a horizontal formation, he coldly observed the every move of the Wa State cavalry, and when the Wa State cavalry squad had rushed to a distance of less than 100 steps from his side, Zhang Miao issued a battle order in a hurry.

"Bah, Bah, Bah......"

The Qing cavalry that can accompany the expedition are the elite of more than 2,000 people in the whole cavalry army, all of them are good hands, after more than years of training, acting according to the code has already been deeply rooted in the bones, Rao is a group of Japanese cavalry roared fiercely, and the officers and soldiers were not moved, with Zhang Miao's instructions, skillfully raised their guns and shot, and instantly shot down five people of the Japanese cavalry who rushed to the forefront, and the momentum of the charge of the Japanese cavalry squad was suffocated.

"Don't mess around, rush, rush, kill!"

The commander of the cavalry of the Japanese State is a strong man with a beard, named Nishimura Shouyuki, who is the Ma Huizhong (official name of the Japanese State) under the old Naka Tokugawa and his party, since he had heard of the sharpness of the Qing army's firearms, but he had heard of it, and he really met it, and he couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't want to retreat, but he wanted to take down Zhang Miao and his party in order to obtain those powerful firearms.

"Put away the gun, take out the knife, follow me, rush!"

Seeing that the Japanese cavalry was still rushing forward, Zhang Miaoke became angry, pulled out the saber hanging from his waist, shouted, shook the reins of the horse, and took the lead in launching a counter-charge.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

Both sides are long-trained cavalry, riding skills are naturally good, just more than 80 steps of distance is just a flash, in an instant, the two cavalry squads are like two sharp blades collided together, sabers and katana slashed again and again, people roared and neighed, blood splashed, just a face to hedge down, the Japanese cavalry has been killed six people one after another, and on the other hand, the Qing cavalry at a disadvantage in strength only one person died on the spot, there is no doubt that there is a big gap between each other's technical and tactical capabilities.

"Yaga, show your courage, don't lose the face of our Edo army, rush me!"

Nishimura Shouyuki as a horse Huizhong, the combat power is quite good, he was the one who killed a Qing cavalry before, but when he saw that his side had an absolute advantage in strength, he actually killed six people in the hedge, and he was angry, brandished the bloody katana in his hand, and roared again and again to lead his troops to charge.

"Dogs, dare to come, brothers, keep up and kill all these dogs!"

Seeing that Nishimura Shouxing still dared to kill, Zhang Miao was furious, raised his saber, and rushed to kill Nishimura Shouxing, and a group of Qing cavalry saw this, they were not far behind, and they roared and followed behind Zhang Miao.

"Kill!"

"Die!"

……

Just as Nishimura Shouxing was eyeing Zhang Miao, the commander of the Qing army, Zhang Miao was also eyeing Nishimura Shouxing, in this charge, the two were gongs to gongs, drums to drums collided together, just when the two horses were about to cross, the two roared almost at the same time, and the two knives swung out at the same time.

"Poof!"

Nishimura Shouxing has always been known for his fast knife, a knife slashed, when it was really like lightning, it went directly to Zhang Miao's neck, but he never expected Zhang Miao to be out of the knife at the same time, his waist suddenly bowed, Nishimura Shouxing's knife slipped against Zhang Miao's top helmet, and before he could make a response, Zhang Miao's knife had unceremoniously swept past his neck, but after hearing a muffled sound, Nishimura Shouxing's head rolled off the horse, and blood spurted out from the broken stubble like a fountain, and rushed straight to the height of the zhang. Then it fell to the ground flutteringly, and its headless body shook several times in succession, and then fell unwillingly into the dust.

"Catch up and kill all these thieves!"

The two sides hedged down for the second time, only two people of the Qing army were injured, one of them was cut at the end of the blade at the arm, and the blood gushed like a spring, and the other person was pulled out of the blade by the blade in the face, which was not seriously injured, and the Japanese cavalry suffered a big loss again, not only Nishimura Shouyuki, the chief officer, was killed, but also four knights fell under the blade of the Qing army, and the rest saw this, and there was no trace of fighting spirit at all, how could they dare to turn back to the Qing army to fight again, and fled along the way they came without looking back. The leader followed in hot pursuit.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Uji belongs to the junction between the mountains and the Kansai Plain, the terrain is relatively flat, but there are still a lot of low hills, but the height of these hills is extremely low, the slope is also small, for the cavalry, there is almost no hindrance, the two sides of this escape and chase, is a few miles of land, the excellent cavalry of the Qing Dynasty under the full launch, the speed is faster than the Japanese cavalry, even if the start is slow, it is soon already a chase head to end, can be able to catch up with the Japanese cavalry, But he never thought that as soon as he rushed up a low hill, he saw countless armies marching at high speed, Zhang Miao was taken aback, and he didn't dare to pursue those desperate Japanese cavalry, so he hurriedly twisted the horse's head and led his troops to run wildly towards the way they came.

"Baga, give it to me, don't let anyone go!"

The 30,000 vanguard army led by Tokugawa and his entourage came in a hurry, and when he saw that his reconnaissance cavalry squad was pursued and killed so badly by the Qing army, Tokugawa and his entourage were angry, waved their hands, and gave a loud order, and then saw hundreds of Japanese cavalry swarming out, chasing and killing Zhang Miao and others like a tide.

"General, there is a situation on the east coast!"

In the gate tower of Uji Castle, Akiyama, the deputy general of the expeditionary force, was lying leisurely on a rocking chair, humming a little song with his eyes slightly closed, and was enjoying himself, but he saw a sentry break in like a whirlwind and report in a loud voice.

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard this, Akiyama didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly stood up, without asking too many questions, he rushed to the city saucer, raised the monocular in his hand, and looked at the place where the smoke and dust started, and his face instantly became gloomy.

"Blow the trumpet, and the whole army will enter emergency combat readiness!"

Akiyama led his troops to capture Uji Castle the day before yesterday, and yesterday he rushed to repair various war preparation facilities overnight, thinking that he could rest for two days, but he didn't expect the Japanese army to arrive so quickly, and his heart couldn't help but be a little heavy, but he didn't dare to delay it slightly, so he hurriedly waved his hand and issued a battle order in a loud voice.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

As soon as Akiyama's general ordered, his own herald sounded the horn of emergency assembly, and with the sound of the terrible horn, the various units of the Qing army that were resting in the city did not dare to delay in the slightest, and rushed out of the barracks with guns in hand, and rushed out of the barracks like flying......
