Chapter 1186 Zhao Yun joined the battle and besieged the south
PS: Thank you 'Sky Easy' for your valuable monthly pass!
Sun Ming's fleet was stuck in time, and when the sky was twilight, the fleet happened to the east shore of Daoyuan Bay, near the coast near Yuming, which was originally an area with a very developed fishing industry, but after the war, most of the fishermen who dared to go to sea were gone, so unless those who were about to starve to death and had to go to sea, no one went to sea to make a living now.
In the early morning in the bay, a thin mist rippled, and large ships approached the beachhead, and the elite vanguard immediately jumped from the boats, and soon arranged defensive chapters on the surrounding heights and points.
Then the unloaded ships were pulled away, and the larger fleet came up, and a large number of troops quietly landed on land, and then the whole team quickly dispersed outward, and then the horses and supplies.
By the time it was dawn, the cavalry force of more than 20,000 men had all landed, and after letting the horses move a little and eat a little, the cavalry set off in whole formation to the east.
"General, this is Hezhi City1
"Are you sure this is a city? How does it look like a fortress, and such a big city dares to call it a city? ”
"General, this is the case in all the places of the Japanese people, it is a castle and he is also called a city, and it is just a name1
"But such a large city attack surface can't be spread at all, and this is the main road in the east-west direction?"
"Yes, but in the past, the Japanese people mainly communicated things through Tosu and Hita Road, but now Tosu has been taken down by the lord. The Hita Road was cut off by General Li Yuanzhi again, so they shifted the logistics to the road from Hezhi to Zhutian, which was not originally a strategic node. ”
Zhao Yun shook his head. It seems that the Japanese people in Kyushu Island, at least in the western Kyushu have been disabled by Guo Jia, otherwise they would not have used such a small city as a strategic support point, in the north of Heshi, all the way to Tosu, nearly two hundred miles of range, the Japanese have more than one million troops. Now we can only rely on this road for resupply.
"Alright, order the scout team to set up a cordon thirty miles around, search and kill the enemy scouts and ninjas! Order the front army to bypass the city. To the east side of the mountain road to ambush, ordered the Chinese army to prepare outside the north gate, ordered the rear army to prepare to the south, and the guards were divided into small teams. Tempt the attack with me. ”
"No1
"Yaga. Where did the enemy troops come from? Why is there no warning? ”
"Hey! I'm sorry general, but the enemy forces did not report from the direction of Tamaki and Uto, and it is likely that the enemy troops landed directly from the sea in Shimabara Bay. ”
"Soga! It seems that they want to seize Hezhi in one fell swoop, cut off our army's logistics channel, and make our army's troops on the Yanachewa front line lose their combat effectiveness.1
"Hi 1
"What is the situation of the enemy forces?"
"It's 22,000 cavalry, and the commander's banner is a 'Zhao' character, according to intelligence, only Zhao Yun's army is holding the banner of Zhao. The one who came should be the Zhao Yun Legion, known as the strongest cavalry of the Han army1
"Zhao Yun! Yaga 1
"General"
"Hold on to the city, can the cavalry jump on the city wall? We have 50,000 defenders, and we will be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive. ”
"Boom! ~”
The city was filled with gunsmoke, and even Zhao Yun, who was a few hundred steps away, felt that the gunpowder smoke in the air was very choking.
"This city defense cannon is really far away! It is a pity that the number of city defense guns is limited, and it is difficult to form a covering shot 1
"They also have shotshots, which can form a covering shot, but the range is less than 400 paces."
Zhao Yun's heavy crossbow has a maximum range of more than 400 steps, just outside the range of the scattered bullet shooting of the Japanese people, Zhao Yun looked up at the enemy army at the head of the city, this target is really easy to find, where there is smoke to shoot well, the city is too small, and the cavalry occupies too large the attack surface, so Zhao Yun can only put into the battle of the cavalry of 4,000 people.
However, the 4,000 people caused the killing and wounding but let the Japanese people feel painful, every time the cannon is fired, the artillerymen do not dare to come forward to reload, the enemy's arrows are too ruthless, and the accuracy is terrifying, half a day passed, the Han army took turns to attack, and the offensive of thousands of people made the defenders on the city more than 10,000 dead and wounded.
"General, the scouts have reported that the enemy reinforcements from Kikuchi have arrived twenty miles away1
"Very good, blow the trumpet and assemble 1
In the sound of the whining horn, the cavalry who had stayed outside the battlefield suddenly moved, rumbling towards the north of the city, and the defenders of the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then they began to worry about the friendly troops who came to the rescue, they still suffered such heavy casualties in the city, if it was a field battle
"Whew! Flutter 1
Five hundred paces away, the enemy general fell off his horse, and the target of Zhao Yun and his guards was these guys on horseback, who were occupied by the Han army's raided Japanese reinforcements, and arranged musket and artillery positions to try to confront the Han cavalry troops.
If these 100,000 infantry are held in a group, the combat effectiveness is still quite considerable, especially the artillery that occupies the geographical advantage, which makes Zhao Yun even more afraid.
However, Zhao Yun doesn't need to be in a hurry at all, Zhao Yun's task is not to attack the fortification, as for killing and injuring the enemy, it is enough to kill and injure slowly, the enemy army is now in the field, as long as Zhao Yun entangles them, unless they repair the position to Hezhi City little by little, otherwise as long as they move, they will be attacked by Zhao Yun's cavalry.
And Zhao Yun's squad raid has not stopped, the adjustment of the artillery position is simply impossible to keep up with the speed of the cavalry, and Zhao Yun will not attack too far forward, and will generally retreat at four hundred paces, but the elite of these elites with accurate shooting and extremely high damage output have caused serious damage to the Japanese people.
What's worse is that this kind of unilateral killing has seriously hit the morale of the Japanese people, who raise the musket in their hands, but they can't even hit the shadow of the enemy, and if they are not careful, they will be killed by the enemy's accurate arrows, and the feeling of powerlessness and frustration is really terrible.
Every time the sound of the enemy's horses' hooves approached, the hearts of the soldiers became tense, as if the sound of those hooves was the footsteps of the Grim Reaper.
The sun soon set behind the hills to the west, and as night fell, the hearts of the Japanese people on the mountains became more and more nervous, and in the case of obstructed vision, people's fear was more likely to breed, but fortunately, the cannon above their heads was still roaring tirelessly, and this roaring sound became an important pillar in their hearts.
"Isn't the artillery durable?"
"Of course, there is, but the enemy forces have a large proportion of Inhumans, so they have strong logistical capabilities, and maybe they have enough spare artillery1
"But they keep firing, can they hold on? Today has passed, but what about tomorrow? ”
"General, if you ask me, I don't know.1
"Hehe, order the troops to attack in rotation, let the snipers sneak in while it is dark, and kill 1 freely
"No1
The so-called snipers in Zhao Yun's mouth are elite shooters with bow and crossbow skills exceeding level 60, the number of these people is not much, only about two or three thousand people, under the cover of night, these snipers find suitable cover, hide behind and snipe the enemy with special heavy crossbows, which is more terrifying than modern snipers, because their attacks are silent, especially on the battlefield with the roar of artillery, the snipers of the Han army are like ghosts, collecting a large number of Japanese lives.
The position of the Japanese people is very interesting, on the mountain, the red fire light is constantly flickering with the thunder, and under the mountain, the white light is also flashing continuously, each white light is the light after a player is hung up, which can cause such high damage to the player, which is enough to show how strong the attack power of the Han army under the mountain is.
The Japanese also tried to sneak attack the Han army at night, but it seems that every action was clearly seen by the Han army, and then they would be ambushed and raided by the Han army, and none of the people who went down came back.
Now the Japanese people trapped in the mountains are in a dilemma, and it may be the best way to continue to be trapped and waiting for help, but a large number of battle losses really make them feel painful, and there are a large number of gunpowder shells and artillery that have been consumed, these things are now difficult to supply, according to the current consumption rate, by tomorrow night, it is estimated that there will be no artillery available, and then these tens of thousands of Japanese people will become the target of the Han army's massacre.
This story tells the Japanese people that they must not fight with the Han army in the field, and the best way to deal with the Han army is the fortress war, which is a war of attrition, and it is absolutely impossible to expect to defeat the enemy army in a field battle, and even every rescue must be carefully considered, otherwise, it will become a lamb sent into the tiger's mouth.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Han army suddenly withdrew from the battle and seemed to rest for a while, and then the Han army turned to the east and withdrew, the Japanese did not dare to go down the mountain easily, but continued to hold the position, so that the scouts made sure that the Han army had gone far away, these Japanese people quickly withdrew from the position, and retreated towards Kikuchi at a rapid pace.
Of course, the reason for Zhao Yun's retreat was not because he couldn't defeat the position of the Japanese people, but because the reinforcements that appeared from the direction of Asu were already very close, and Zhao Yun turned to the direction of Asu to meet the 200,000 reinforcements coming from this side, and the Japanese people who had been beaten here really did not dare to pursue, turned around and ran back to Kikuchi.
Zhao Yun's troops again encountered reinforcements from the direction of Asu, and the best way for the Japanese to deal with the Han army was to occupy the position on the top of the hill and rely on the superiority of artillery fire to suppress the Han attack.
It's a pity that Zhao Yun is a cavalry unit, and it is an elite cavalry, with terrifying lethality and amazing speed, with 200,000 Japanese people, occupying several mountains where firepower can support each other, but Zhao Yun only swims around the periphery and never enters their fire circle.
The Japanese found that their situation was very passive, so they tried to use the cover of artillery fire to entrap Zhao Yun, but how could two feet run more than four legs, but these protruding musket troops were shot by Zhao Yun from afar, and the Japanese finally knew that they had encountered an iron plate, and the horror of the First Cavalry Regiment of the Han Army was really no joke.
