Chapter 375: Kunlun Nu vs. the Japanese Army
Nozu Castle south of Iwami, here is the only way for Soga to enter the deer and withdraw to Asuka, originally stationed nearly 10,000 defenders, guarded by Ishikawa Maro, and at the same time it is also a supply transit station for the front-line army, and the grain and grass in the rear have to be transported through this city to the frost city, but it is a pity that Nozu Castle has been successfully attacked by Huli and Xue Rengui three days ago, Ishikawa Maro was killed in battle, 10,000 defenders were destroyed, and all the grain and grass in the city were obtained by the Tang army.
On the top of the city in the direction of Frost City, Hu Li and Xue Rengui held binoculars to observe the situation ahead, although it looked very calm, but they received news from the scouts this morning that the 80,000 troops of Su I into the deer were not far from Yejin City, and they could arrive this afternoon at the latest.
After observing for a while, Xue Rengui took the lead in putting down the binoculars and said: "General Hu, General Su has sent a military order, ordering us to hold on to this city, be sure to block their way north, wait for the army in the rear to arrive, and under the front and back attacks, we will destroy the largest resistance force of the Wa Kingdom in one fell swoop, but the other party is several times larger than me, and this Yejin City is not a strong city, it is really a bit troublesome!" ”
When Hu Li heard Xue Rengui's words, he also put down the binoculars in his hand, and then showed a relaxed smile and said: "General Xue don't have to worry, Frost City was flattened by General Su in one fell swoop, which has already made Su and I enter the deer army in a daze, and now it is only supported by a breath of escape, and when they arrive at Yejin City, I will lead the troops to take the initiative to attack and defeat the opponent's momentum first, and even if the other party has a hundredfold army, it will be difficult to conquer this small Yejin City." ”
Seeing that Huli was so calm, Xue Rengui, who led the troops independently for the first time, also breathed a sigh of relief, starting with the Iwami landing. He hadn't experienced much resistance, even when he was in Nozu Castle. When the Japanese people in the city saw the Kunlun Nu army behind Hu Li, they immediately shouted that the evil ghosts of hell were coming. Then they dispersed, and there was no big fight at all. Although this is a good thing in the eyes of others, but for Xue Rengui, it has not allowed him to accumulate experience in leading troops, especially this time when he has to face 80,000 enemy troops, if he is not nervous, it can only be said to be a lie.
Hu Li is a veteran of Shacheng, so he naturally understands Xue Rengui's psychology, and the two still have a psychology of comparison before. However, after this period of getting along, it made the two have a sense of sympathy for each other, Xue Rengui admired the tiger's courage and strategy, which seemed to be rude, but in fact it was rough and fine, and the marching formation was extremely old and spicy. And Hu Li admired the sharpness of Xue Rengui, as if he saw himself back then from the other party, so as a senior, he naturally helped if he could.
Seeing the nervousness in Xue Rengui's heart. Hu Li smiled and pointed to the 1,000 soldiers standing at the head of the city, dressed completely different from other soldiers, and said: "General Xue, you see what kind of musket team of more than 1,000 people, I don't know what it is used for with a steel pipe in my hand." And what is used is the best, and His Royal Highness also attaches great importance to them, but I don't know how effective their combat power is? ”
After hearing this, Xue Rengui also turned his head to look at the musket team standing solemnly next to him. I saw that the other party carried the weapon called the musket on his shoulder, and looked ahead without squinting. They would not even move without an order from an officer. It looks like a wooden man. Not to mention the rest for the time being, this discipline alone makes Xue Rengui, who is also a general, greedy.
"General Tiger must not underestimate this musket team, didn't the battle report from General Su say, the reason why the frost city was conquered so quickly was that the artillery team in the firearms battalion contributed a lot, although I don't understand the power of the artillery, but this musket team and the artillery team are both members of the firearms battalion, and the combat effectiveness must be not much worse." Xue Rengui said with a solemn gaze.
Hu Li also nodded after hearing this, the battle report from Su Dingfang was very brief, but he solemnly mentioned the great achievements of the artillery team, so it can be seen that those weapons called artillery must have made a lot of contributions, but I don't know how powerful these muskets made of steel pipes are in front of me?
The musket team in front of Huli and Xue Rengui is the one trained by Liu Renliang, originally they were combined with the artillery team to form a firearms battalion, but this war was divided into two, the artillery team followed Su Dingfang and conquered Frost City with powerful firepower, and the musket team was sent to Huli and Xue Rengui to help them guard Yejin City.
Huli waited at the head of the city all morning, and the scouts sent out came back one after another to report the location of Su I's army of Lu and I, until in the middle of the day, Su I's army of Lu finally arrived not far from Nozu City. It's just that Su I was an extremely cautious person, and when there were still dozens of miles away from Nozu City, he let the army stop, and then buried the pot to cook, and waited until the army was full, and rested for another hour, and then he started the army again and rushed to the city of Notsu.
Huli and the others on Yejin City have already been prepared, and the bed crossbows transported from the rear are placed at the head of the city, and the trebuchets left by the Japanese people are also used, but the most important thing is that the archers under Xue Rengui stand on the head of the city and draw their bows and arrows, as long as the other party enters the shooting range, they will immediately give the enemy a head-on blow.
Su I rode a Hequ horse bought at a high price from the Tang Dynasty, and his tall body made him look a foot taller than other generals, and he felt a little out of the crowd. It's just that Su I Jinlu frowned now, looked at the elite Tang army at the head of the city, and finally waved his hand, and immediately divided two teams of 10,000 people behind him, carrying ladders, pushing siege weapons such as crashing vehicles, and began to quickly press towards Yejin City.
These siege weapons were made by them by cutting wood on the road, and they delayed a lot of time, so they arrived today, but it was worth it, Nozu Castle was not a strong city, the walls and gates were not very strong, and the city walls were not high, with ladders and crash cars, it was enough for them to conquer this city.
Seeing that Su I's army would attack the city as soon as it came up, Xue Rengui at the head of the city immediately prepared, but Hu Li went down to the city, and then went out of the city with 4,000 Kunlun Nu troops and 2,000 Kunlun Nu who guarded the musket team, and took the initiative to attack according to the previous plan, preparing to defeat the morale of the Japanese people first.
As soon as the Kunlun slaves of 6,000 people came out of the city, they immediately rushed towards the Japanese with a strange scream, and these Kunlun slaves were painted in a mess on their bodies and faces, which looked extremely terrifying, mainly because Hu Li found that the ugly appearance of the Kunlun slaves made the Japanese people very afraid, and the Kunlun slaves had the custom of pictures before the battle, so they simply let these Kunlun slaves play freely and dress themselves up more ugly, in order to intimidate the enemy.
Sure enough, as soon as these painted colorful Kunlun slaves came out of the city, they immediately caused a riot among the Japanese people, and some people even began to shout about the evil ghosts of hell, but Su I got the news long before I entered the deer, knowing that the Tang army had a Kunlun Nu army, and had already informed the whole army of the origin of the Kunlun Nu in advance, so most of the Japanese army had been psychologically prepared, and only a small number of people who were not mentally strong were frightened and shouted, which attracted officers and was killed on the spot.
With the officers using forceful means to maintain order, and having been vaccinated beforehand, the riot was quickly stopped, and the charge began to be reinvigorated. However, the timing of Huli's choice to attack was excellent, and before they met the Japanese people, the Japanese people had already entered the range of the weapons at the head of the city, only to see the bed crossbow and trebuchet on the head of the city together, and the weak spear-like crossbow arrows and boulders flew out of the city and fell into the camp of the Japanese people, as a result, with a mass of flesh and blood, the Japanese people's neat formation was disrupted again.
Rumble~
The two teams like a torrent finally collided together, the Japanese were originally short in stature, few people were above one meter five, and the Kunlun Nu were all tall people, especially the two thousand broken camp as arrows, they were extremely tall and strong, and there were several generals who were almost the same as the tiger power, these Kunlun Nu rushed into the team of the Japanese people, it was like the giants and dwarves in Western legends were at war, but the Japanese did not have the strong body of the dwarves, and they were thrown into chaos by the strong Kunlun Nu in the blink of an eye.
Kunlun Nu is covered with heavy plate armor, and the horizontal knife in his hand is also increased and lengthened, under one knife, several lives of the Japanese will be cut into two sections, and even the weapon is useless, because the weapons used by these Japanese are really inferior, most of them are wooden spears, and they can't stop Kunlun Nu's slashing at all.
The discipline of Kunlun Nu is poor, and the formation cannot be kept intact like the ordinary Tang army, especially when it is impacted, it is even more indiscriminately slashed and killed, but it can also be kept in the shape of an arrow, not being rushed away by the Japanese people, and this arrow also quickly chiseled the team of 20,000 Japanese people, leaving a road paved with flesh and blood behind it.
And the tiger power in the front roared angrily, turned around and killed into the team of the Japanese again, and the Kunlun slaves behind him followed closely, they didn't know anything else, they only knew that when they were on the battlefield, as long as the generals in front of them killed, they would follow.
Under the wielding of the iron rod made of stainless steel in Hu Li's hand, Fang Yuanzhang Xu's Japanese people were all under his attack, where had these short Japanese people seen such a brave figure? Under the second impact of the tiger force, the entire army was broken into three at once, and even the two Japanese generals who led the team were smashed into pulp by the tiger force, which intensified the fear of the Japanese people, crying and scattering and jumping, and the 20,000 Japanese people were actually defeated by 6,000 Kunlun slaves.
Seeing this situation, Su I'm in the back, his face turned blue, and while sending people to collect the defeated army, he once again ordered two teams of 10,000 people to come forward to cover the kill, and be sure to leave this Kunlun slave outside the city.
Although the tiger power is still very powerful, he understands that the Kunlun Nu behind him has gone, and it is already good to break 20,000, if he fights with the Japanese people outside the city, it may really not be able to go back, so he took the Kunlun Nu to retreat while fighting, and soon retreated to the city wall of Yejin City, and at this time, the 20,000 people sent out by Su I into the deer have also chased over.
