Chapter 393: A Change of Victory or Defeat
Himiko laughed and ordered his army to be stationed by the river, and then waited for Himiko's army to arrive.
About a day later, Himiko led his army to the other side of the river, and when he saw that more than 100,000 enemy troops were firmly holding the other side of the river, he was immediately shocked and ordered the army to stop and not to advance further.
But how could her army have such a ban as the Han army? The sergeant in front hurriedly stopped, and the sergeant in the back team did not get the order of Himiko at all, and still walked forward with his head stuffy, and directly bumped into the sergeant in front, and the sergeant in front couldn't hold back his footsteps and continued to crash forward.
At this time, Kasegawa, the lord of the Segawa Kingdom of the Dog Slave Country Alliance, saw that there was an opportunity, and immediately ordered the army of his country to cross the river and attack.
Originally, according to the plan of Himi Gonghu, it was to wait for the enemy army to cross the river first, and then wait for the enemy to cross halfway and attack it, but he didn't expect the sudden change, Kasegawa actually changed the plan privately, and led the army to attack, and when Himi Gonghu wanted to stop it, Kasegawa's vanguard was almost in the center of the river.
Seeing that the army of Kasegawa had moved, the armies of other countries also rushed to take action, lest they fall behind and miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, thereby reducing the acquisition of supplies. Because when the Japanese distributed the spoils of war, they mainly distributed them according to the size of their military merits.
Due to the drive of the army under the command of Kasegawa, most of the army of the Dog Slave Kingdom Alliance moved, and at this time, the shouting of the bow did not have the slightest effect, and he could only watch the 120,000 army rush to the opposite bank like a wolf.
"Damn Kasegawa, if you can win this time, it's easy to say, if you lose because of your recklessness. Behold, Lao Tzu will not destroy thy kingdom and reduce all thy people to slavery. Himi cursed viciously, but in desperation, he could only wave his troops and continue to advance.
And sometimes the development of the world is really afraid of something, when a small part of the army of the Dog Slave Alliance crossed the river, it was found that the army of Himiko had ended the chaos and began to fight with them.
Although the Japanese are small in stature. But they are all barbarian people, advocating force, brave and ruthless, so the battle is good, although the number of sergeants of the dog slave alliance is small, but in the face of the siege of superior forces, none of them will escape, but bravely fight to the death with the enemy.
Fortunately, the weapons on both sides are extremely backward, and the killing efficiency is very low. The war lasted for two hours, and although the Dog Slave Alliance was in a weak position, the casualties were not heavy, and only nearly 3,000 of the 50,000 troops who crossed the river were killed, and no injuries were inflicted, so the army was still resisting stubbornly, trying to create an opportunity for the arrival of the follow-up army.
But they are brave, one is that they can't stand the other party's large number of people. Instead, the troops behind were blocked by the armies on both sides of the river, and it was difficult to cross the river for a while. And the most terrible thing is that this time, the soldiers of the Yamatai Alliance actually worked hard as soon as they came up, which really made the soldiers of the Dog Slave Alliance feel incomprehensible.
In the past, although the Yamatai Alliance had a large number of people, its combat effectiveness was still slightly inferior to that of the Dog Slave Alliance, so they were often at a disadvantage when fighting, but today I don't know why. As soon as the battle began, these cowards turned out to be as fierce as tigers and wolves, forcing the soldiers of the Dog Slave Alliance to keep retreating.
"Kill, you can't be suppressed by a group of cowards." Seeing that his army was showing signs of defeat and retreat, Kasegawa couldn't help but feel anxious. Immediately shouted loudly.
It's no wonder that he is not in a hurry, because he disobeyed the order of Himi Gonghu before and led the army to cross the river without authorization, if the army is defeated, he will be rewarded for meritorious service and become a hero in the alliance, and his combat experience will also be recorded in history, but if he fails this time, then he will be punished for disobeying the order, this punishment can be light or severe, the light is just to pay some materials, and the heavy one may be removed from the position of lord, and even the entire kingdom will be abolished.
Before, Himiya said proudly that he knew what art of war, but before it could be implemented, he was destroyed by Kasegawa, so even Kasegawa himself knew that as long as this battle was lost, he would definitely suffer the most severe punishment.
"I can not be the lord of the country myself, and even I can die, but my kingdom cannot be affected by this, so even if I die, I must not back down in this battle."
Thinking of this, Kasegawa suddenly swept away his previous arrogance, and solemnly took out an iron sword, this iron sword is the only iron sword in his country, and it is naturally the treasure of the town in his country, today he wants to use this treasure of the town and country to fight on the battlefield, either to help his side reverse the defeat, or to die there directly, anyway, he will never be a deserter anyway, so that the entire kingdom will be affected by himself.
Just as he spoke, Kasegawa came to the battlefield wielding a sharp iron sword, struggling to kill the Yamatai Alliance soldiers who dared to resist.
And because of the encouragement of Kasegawa, the soldiers of the entire Segawa country, and even the entire Dog Slave Country Alliance, felt excited, and waved their weapons to fight the enemy to the death.
Kasegawa's desperate efforts really worked, and the bloody battles of the soldiers of the dog slave country gradually recovered the decline, making the battle situation enter a stalemate again.
And Himiko, who was watching the battle not far away, gradually frowned, but was suddenly destroyed by that Kase River, if he hadn't personally gone to the battlefield to fight, boosting the morale of the Dog Slave Alliance, her army would have been defeated, and now it was actually pulled back by the enemy, which is a very bad thing.
Although the Han army will soon arrive and attack the Dog Slave Alliance from behind, if her army is defeated before the arrival of the people, even if she can barely take over the southern states, I am afraid that her prestige will be greatly damaged.
So, no matter what, she wants to win this battle.
Thinking of this, Himiko said to Hikaru Kobayashi, the personal guard beside her: "Hikaru Kobayashi, you take the king's Kusanagi iron sword and kill the enemy army, this time you must also boost morale like Kasegawa, as long as you succeed, the king can consider the things you mentioned that day." ”
It turned out that Kobayashi Hikaru had not only protected Himiko's safety for so many years, but sometimes when she was lonely in the spring, she also played the role of a firefighter, and later Kobayashi Hikaru proposed to let his younger brother Kobayashi Yasui enter the court as a doctor, but Himiko never agreed.
Now Kobayashi Mitsu saw that his old lover suddenly agreed to his request, and his courage suddenly increased, and even his brain became much better, he took the sword handed over by Himiko, rolled his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Our reinforcements are almost here, everyone work hard to kill the enemy, the queen said, whoever kills Kasegawa can get more food for 100 stones." ”
Although there is only 100 stone grain, it is not in the eyes of an ordinary rich peasant of the Han Dynasty, but for the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom, it is definitely a huge wealth that makes people blush, because the grain is too scarce for the Japanese people, and it is as precious as the beef of the Great Han.
There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, so as soon as Kobayashi Hikaru's reward came out, many soldiers immediately followed him and killed him in the direction of Kase River.
Since Kobayashi Hikaru can be Himiko's personal guard, he naturally has good martial arts, plus he has the treasure of the town and the iron sword of Kusanagi in his hand, so he is naturally invincible, how will the enemy troops intercepted along the way be able to stop it? The soldiers died tragically by his sword.
The army of the Japanese people rarely pays attention to the arrangement of troops, and mainly relies on the courage of blood and qi when fighting, and a person with high martial arts has a much greater effect on the excitement of the military spirit than the Han Dynasty, so with the courage of Kobayashi Hikaru and the soldiers around him to kill the enemy, the Dog Slave State Coalition Army, which had already stabilized the shape, showed signs of defeat again.
Seeing this, Kasegawa knew that it was not good, so he immediately led his guards to meet him, and personally held an iron sword to meet Kobayashi Hikaru.
But where did I think that Kobayashi Hikaru's martial arts were so strong, but after more than a dozen rounds, with a scream, everyone clearly saw that one of Kasegawa's arms flew into the sky, and the sharp Kusanagi iron sword turned out a few terrifying cold lights, and then quickly cut off Kasegawa's head.
With the death of Kasegawa, the morale of the Dog Slave Country Alliance dropped rapidly, on the contrary, the morale of the Yamatai Alliance immediately soared to the extreme, and more than 100,000 troops roared, regardless of their lives, they killed the soldiers of the Dog Slave Country who had lost their will to fight, and seeing that the general trend had gone, the soldiers of the Dog Slave Country fled one after another, and the 120,000 army was defeated and returned.
Excited, Himiko immediately ordered the army to move on, and then rushed to the undefended Oninu King's Palace, where they carried out a great ransack, capturing tens of thousands of people, recruiting nearly 30,000 troops, and obtaining a large amount of supplies in the palace, achieving the greatest victory since the founding of the alliance.
However, because of his greed for the materials and population of the Ghost Slave Country, Himiko lost the opportunity to pursue the victory, giving the Dog Slave Alliance a chance to breathe, and allowing Himiko to reorganize its forces, which resulted in a great defeat of the Yamatai Alliance.
It turned out that when Himiko lost his vigilance, the little bit of the art of war left by the ancestors of Tongguò actually used the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, first luring and provoking a part of the army of Tongguò, and then when Himihu led the army to rush away, he released the ambush soldiers who had already been ambushed, and slaughtered the enemy soldiers in the middle of the plan, and the result was not only defeat turned into victory, but led the army to attack the territory of the Yamatai Alliance.
As a result, the situation of the Yamatai Alliance has fallen into an extremely serious predicament. (To be continued......)
