Chapter 620: The Great Goal of the Wa People

The moon is like water, and the autumn dew is like a pearl.

On the land of Youzhou, a cavalry galloped on the official road, bringing up a little dust, and white clouds erupted from the horse's nose, which seemed to have driven a lot of way, but they didn't seem to have the intention of stopping. The cavalrymen, filling their bellies with dry rations and water on horseback, continued to advance. The troops galloped like the wind, but the overall team remained very good at all times, and even if there was a sudden encounter, the troops were able to react quickly.

The generals who led the troops occasionally gave brief orders, and the cavalry adjusted according to the orders, and never uttered half a word of nonsense. Most of the time, only the sound of horses' hooves can be heard. These silent knights just rode their horses and galloped, without rhetoric, nor shouting and killing, and they were not publicized, but they had a thrilling power of their own.

The quality of this cavalry is rare in the world.

The moonlight fell from the sky, as if smearing a layer of hoarfrost on the war horses, and even the war horses turned white.

It is of course a joke to be dyed white by the moonlight, these war horses are all white horses of divine horses, and more than two thousand white horses roar past, bringing a strong visual impact. In the entire Youzhou, the entire Hebei, and even the entire land of Shenzhou, there is no second such cavalry force.

They are the most elite troops under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and they are famous white horse righteous servants all over the world!

The Battle of the Boundary Bridge may break out at any time, and there are Japanese people in the rear, and Gongsun Chan resolutely sends the most elite White Horse Yicong to help. The cavalry is the most mobile, and the white horse is the best in Hebei, and only this trump card can be used to pacify the Japanese people in the shortest possible time and resolve their worries.

Bai Ma Yi traveled day and night, and the wind generally passed through the Bohai Sea and Yuyang, and went straight to Beiping.

On the evening of the third day, Bai Mayi returned to Youbeiping and found that most of the coastal villages and towns had been plundered. Bai Mayi learned from one of the nearest player territories that the Japanese soldiers did not stop after plundering the coastal villages and towns, and continued to advance to the northern area of Beiping, and were preparing to attack Tuyin County, and the Japanese army should not be less than 20,000!

Gongsun Zhan, who was still confronting Yuan Shao in Panhe, also knew the follow-up actions of the Japanese people.

He was extremely glad that he had sent a white horse and not a small group of cavalry.

The rear urgently reported the landing of the Japanese people, and Gongsun Zhan initially thought that the Japanese people were like ordinary pirates or nomads, and they had taken a flash of captivity. You must know that the northern nomads know that Gongsun Chan is not easy to mess with, even if the elite of the Beiping army went to war with Yuan Shao this time, the Wuhuan people and Xianbei people did not dare to take the opportunity to mischief, they were afraid of being settled by the Autumn Queen, Gongsun Chan was notoriously ruthless in beating foreign races, and he would send troops if there were foreign races outside the Beiping realm, and he would go directly to Gongsun Zhan's lair to do bad things, and if he didn't peel off a few layers of skin, things were not so easy to calculate.

The Flying Fish Leader sent news some time ago, saying that the Japanese were making a comeback, but Gongsun Chan didn't pay much attention to it.

The nomads were all frightened by him, and the uncivilized Japanese people, what kind of thing? It was nothing more than relying on the Wa Island on the sea, the road was far away, and the Beiping Army had no naval division, thinking that it could escape punishment, so it took advantage of the main force of the Beiping Army to take advantage of the back, and grabbed some things to collect as soon as they saw it.

Gongsun Zhan had zero tolerance for foreign invasions, and the timing of the landing of the Japanese was too coincidental, so he was worried that the Japanese would collude with Yuan Shao, so he sent Bai Ma Yi to suppress it. Only by pacifying the Japanese who were taking advantage of the fire to rob in the rear could Gongsun Zhan concentrate his forces on a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

The Japanese people did not retreat after plundering the coastal villages and towns, but went north to besiege the county seat, obviously with a greater plan!

The Japanese people did have a more ambitious goal: to attack the city and seize the land in Youbeiping.

Sounds like a joke.

But the Waren were serious and convinced that their plan could succeed......

The plot of the summer of pirates allows the Japanese people to intersect with the land of China in advance, the island country is widowed, the night is arrogant, the land of the Japanese island is small, natural disasters occur frequently, and they dream of having a place to live on the mainland. At a time when the giant of the Eastern Han Dynasty has been suffering from internal and external troubles in recent years, riddled with all kinds of diseases, and is becoming weaker and weaker, the Kwantung king's order is not good, and it is a God-given opportunity for the Japanese people.

Once you've made up your mind, the next step is to choose the right target.

It just so happened that Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao confronted each other, the troops gathered on the front line, the rear was empty, pick one to attack behind it, and take advantage of the situation to attack the city and seize the land, it was as easy as a snap! Due to the fact that the ambition of the Japanese to attack the Eastern Han Dynasty was not long in coming, intelligence collection was still in its infancy, and only some relatively superficial information was obtained.

Choosing Gongsun Chan to start, the Japanese people shouted after careful consideration.

First of all, status. Yuan Shao is the Jizhou pastor, Gongsun Zan is the Beiping Taishou, and the state pastor is obviously bigger than the Taishou.

Again, origin. Yuan Shao comes from a famous family, and he is the master of Guan, and Haojie is mostly attached to him, so he can't be provoked; Gongsun Zhan's background is a local tyrant, an ordinary prince, and he looks a little easier to provoke.

Third, the battle situation. The Yamatai Japanese soldiers attacked from the sea, and the counties near the sea in Jizhou were the Bohai Sea and the Plains, the Bohai Sea was currently Gongsun Zhan's territory, and the Plains were in the hands of Yuan Shao, but the armies of the two sides were facing each other in the Panhe-Jieqiao area, and the Bohai Sea and the Plains were too close to the battlefield to collect the effect of the surprise attack. On the contrary, Gongsun Zhan's old nest in Beiping, which is also close to the sea and is located in the rear, if you act faster, you can occupy the entire territory of Beiping before the Beiping army returns. Gongsun Zhan's lair was taken away, and he had to resist Yuan Shao's threat, the wisest thing to do was to completely abandon Beiping, run Jizhou, and compete with Yuan Shao. In that way, Yamatai could send a steady stream of reinforcements to Beiping, consolidate its territory, and firmly control Beiping in its hands.

Fourth, geography. Beiping is on the northern border of Shenzhou, far away from the Central Plains, and it is easier to hold!

This is the calculation of the Japanese people.

When they confronted the boundary bridge, the opportunity of the imminent outbreak of the Great War attacked Beiping, and they firmly believed that there was a great chance of success.

It's a pity that the Japanese people don't know what kind of person Gongsun Chan is.

The Japanese people didn't even know what kind of army the Beiping Army was.

If the Japanese had more time to gather intelligence, I believe they would definitely not choose Gongsun Chan to go to war easily.

Hebei military strongman, a dignified white horse general, can be provoked by a cat or a dog?

If whoever has a big official position is powerful, Jizhou Mu should be Han Fu instead of Yuan Shao, and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu does not have to tolerate Gongsun Zhan's extreme toughness towards foreign races. In fact, this Jieqiao confrontation was Gongsun Zan who took the initiative to provoke the war, and Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao was passive to face the battle.

The Japanese did not understand this.

The Yamatai Kingdom crossed the sea and made an expedition to use Salmon Island as its forward base, but the production of Salmon Island was limited, and the Japanese expeditionary force could not stay on Salmon Island for too long, and the military rations they carried would be exhausted. The Japanese did not wait for the battle of the boundary bridge to start, and they could not wait to land in Beiping during the confrontation stage of the army, precisely because of logistical difficulties.

The Japanese could not afford to delay, so they could only take risks.

After landing, the Japanese discovered that Beiping was not as readily available as they had expected.

The elite of the Beiping army was exhausted, and the defense of villages and towns was useless, and only a small number of troops were retained in the county seat. The county town was protected by stone walls, and the small troops went to their deaths, so the Japanese had to gather their forces and attack the county town closest to the coastline.

The garrison of Tuyuan consisted of only 2,000 men, one-tenth of the number of Japanese soldiers.

The Beiping Army deserves to be an elite division, and the 2,000 men of the army resisted the onslaught of 20,000 Japanese soldiers day and night, buying time for Bai Ma Yi to return to help.

At dawn, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside Tuyin County.

Bai Mayi came out of the darkness like a ghost and rushed into the camp of the Japanese soldiers!
