Chapter 606: Eagle Strikes the Sky!
Heiankyo is the capital of the current Japanese country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is no doubt that, to some extent, Heiankyo is the spirit of the Wa Kingdom, and if Heiankyo is broken by the Takedai, it means that the Wa Kingdom has officially begun to fall.
This is obvious, if you can't even protect your own Beijing division, then what's the use of the Japanese soldiers left? It's better to commit suicide by caesarean section.
Heianjing was already in sight, but Wuda stopped.
Because, he knew very well in his heart that the biggest crisis in this crusade against the Japanese State, or the most critical decisive battle, was about to kick off.
It is bound to be impossible for the Japanese to sit idly by, and they must have made all preparations and countermeasures in advance.
In fact, it is true, when Wuda approached Heianjing and stopped, the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing was quickly heard in all directions, from far and near.
Directly north of the army of Wuda is the Kyoto Castle of Heian of the Japanese Kingdom.
In Heianjing, nearly 20,000 troops hid within the city walls, ready to block Wuda from breaking the city at any time, or ready to rush out of the city at any time and fight with Wuda, and there were only a few defenders above the city.
In doing so, the Wa Kingdom still wanted to minimize the power of Yan Yun's earth-shattering thunder and fierce fire oil.
To the east, thick smoke billowed and horses' hooves were bursting, and it was the arrival of the Japanese cavalry, and there were 20,000 horses;
In the West, it was the "Ashigaru Army" led by a large number of samurai.
The ashigaru was the most basic infantry unit of the Wa Kingdom, and most of them were recruited by peasants. Ideal for defense and easy to maintain formation. Has a strong frontal attack, but has almost no side defense;
It is the most famous and the most brave infantry elite on the battlefield of the Wa Kingdom - monks!
The monk soldiers, the strongest infantry unit in the Japanese country, have extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they will never flinch until the last person left in the battle, not so much that their attack power is too strong, but that they are truly fierce and not afraid of death!
At this point, the Wa monks and our Huaxia are naturally two completely different concepts, the Shaolin monks and soldiers in China do have martial arts masters, but their scale is very small, and they can never confront the imperial court (the movies are all fake, and the monks have indeed never achieved fruitful climate, let alone threaten the imperial court), while the Wa Kingdom is completely different.
It is difficult to say the combat ability of individual soldiers, but in terms of scale and influence, the Japanese monk soldiers are far superior to the Shaolin monk soldiers.
The Shaolin monks and soldiers were only a self-protective armed force, far from being able to compete with the imperial court, which could flourish if it was left alone (such as the Tang Dynasty), and the imperial court would decline if it strengthened its management (such as the Qing Dynasty).
The stories of some Shaolin monks and soldiers are exaggerated, such as the story of "Thirteen Stick Monks Saving the Tang King", which is almost all the imagination of later generations.
The monks and soldiers of the Wa State are relatively much more powerful, and the monks and soldiers have become a very important armed group, and some sect believers have always made many of the Wa forces anxious, and the famous "Ishiyama Honganji" has become the ruling class of the Daimyo level of the Warring States of the Wa Kingdom, which cannot be compared with the Shaolin monks and soldiers.
At this time, when Wuda arrived at Heianjing, the monks and soldiers of the Wa State finally came out, and they were directly blocked by Wuda's retreat.
Obviously, these fierce monks and soldiers of the Wa Kingdom who are not afraid of death want to use their lives to prevent the army of Wuda from escaping.
At a glance, the Japanese soldiers who came from all directions to encircle and suppress the people of Wuda were close to 100,000!
One hundred thousand, that's a very scary number.
Don't forget, in this day and age, the total population of the Wa Kingdom is only about 10 million people, and the number of their soldiers is even smaller, and they can dispatch 100,000 people, which is enough to show the strength used by the Wa State to protect their Jingshi Heian Jing, and it is also enough to show that the Wa State is determined to wipe out the army of Wuda.
Moreover, in the present day, the social structure of the Wa Kingdom is very complex, and it can be roughly divided into four levels: emperor, minister, samurai, and commoner.
Most emperors were not directly in charge of the details of government affairs, and most of the political affairs were entrusted to the ministers, and the samurai were attached to the ministers to manage the territories of the Japanese kingdom.
In other words, the current local power of the Wa Kingdom is very chaotic, the major ministers do not like each other, the war is mainly dominated by the samurai, and there are few standing armies, but this time in order to eliminate Wuda, in order to defend Heianjing, the major ministers have joined forces to send troops to crusade against Wuda, which can also be seen from another level, how the Wa people hate Wuda to the core.
Yanyun's 8,000 soldiers, facing the nearly 100,000 army of the Japanese State, what kind of disparity of power?
To use the simplest analogy, if there are enough strong crossbows in the Wa Kingdom, and a few rounds of salvos are fired, the less than 8,000 men and horses led by Wuda are estimated to suffer heavy losses.
But even so, Wu Da was still sitting on the back of the horse so calmly, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a faint ridicule, and he didn't know what he was ridiculing.
Then, while the Japanese army had not yet lined up, Wuda suddenly raised his hand and fell heavily!
Wu Gang took a long breath and shouted:
"Iron Float, Iron Harrier, Array!"
"No!"
A thousand iron floating slaughter, a thousand iron harriers, crossed formations, turned into a circular war, and surrounded all the soldiers such as Wuda.
This was done to beware of the crossbow arrows of the Japanese kingdom.
The heavy cavalry was heavily armoured, and ordinary crossbow arrows could not inflict much damage on them at all, in other words, they were the best shields in themselves.
At the same time, the Wufu family guards the courtyard, and all raise shields to form a second protective circle.
Dongguo Taixun saw this posture, frowned slightly, and said lightly:
"Wu Daguan, don't tell me that you want to use these 8,000 men and horses to fight against the 100,000 army of the Japanese State, and you are still trying to attack the city? It's looking for death! If you have any hole cards, show them quickly, otherwise you won't have a chance. ”
Dongguo Taixun is right, no matter how brave and good the 8,000 men and horses under the command of Wu Da are, but the manpower is sometimes poor, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the Japanese army.
"Hmm......"
Wu Daduan sat on the back of the horse, slowly rubbed his chin, and said with a playful face:
"I just want to use 8,000 men and horses against 100,000 soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom, what's not to do? Our Yanyun soldiers, all of them are heroes who fight against hundreds, nothing is impossible! ”
The corners of Dongguo Taixun's mouth twitched, and his head was full of black lines.
Obviously, he thinks that what Wu Da said is pure nonsense and nonsense!
Everyone pricked up their ears and waited for the order from Wuda.
However, Wu Da did not give an order, but slowly raised his right arm.
The next moment, a black shadow came from high in the air and landed on Wuda's right arm.
It's the eagle that always follows Wuda!
Wu Da brushed the feathers of the eagle, his right arm shook slightly, chuckled, and said:
"Go ahead!"
"Woohoo!"
The eagle cries, spreads its wings and flies high, and the eagle strikes the sky!
