Chapter 1149 Guo Jia attacked the city and sent it far away
Through a series of virtual and real arrangements, Guo Jia successfully made the commander of the Japanese people determine that the target of the Han army's attack was Fukuoka, but in order to prevent accidents, the Japanese did not mobilize Itoshima's troops to the north to help, but this level of contingency was naturally also in Guo Jia's budget.
November 21, the eighth year of Guangxi, sunny.
After confirming the final arrangement of the Japanese people, Guo Jia's army dispatched and swept through the fortress group in the north of the small city along the rift torn by Fang Zhiwen's cavalry in advance, and pushed the battle line outside the range of the city defense cannons on the city wall.
The surprise attack of the Han army caught the Japanese by surprise, and the originally prepared Battle of Fukuoka suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the original preparations for the war immediately became chaotic.
The sudden change in the situation of the war confused the Japanese people for a while, and only then mobilized troops south to support the small town that was under siege.
As for the bottom of the small city, the Han army is methodically digging tunnels and piling up earth walls, there is no way, who calls their long-range weapons not powerful, they can only use this method to send long-range troops to the strike range.
Fortunately, the cavalry of the Japanese Kou was also a weakness, and after going out of the city to harass them once and almost completely wiped out, they honestly never dared to go out of the city again.
The Han army built fortifications outside the city unhurriedly, and the Japanese in the city could only fire indiscriminately, on the one hand, they gave themselves courage, and on the other hand, they also hoped to be able to catch the dead rat with a blind cat, and it was cheap to cover a few casualties, but this kind of luck was definitely very little.
In fact, Guo Jia was also bluffing at this time, and it was impossible for Guo Jia to have so many troops that could be mobilized. Moreover, the battle for the fortress on the periphery has not completely ended, and Fang Zhiwen's cavalry troops are still on the periphery with the more powerful Inhuman troops to speed up the clearing of the recalcitrant fortress.
However, the more calm Guo Jia was under the city, the more the Japanese in the city believed that the Han army was fully sure to attack their fortified city, but they didn't think that Guo Jia was simply carrying out tactical deception.
What makes Guo Jia happy. The response of the Japanese in the direction of Fukuoka seemed to be much slower than expected, and reinforcements were sent only a day later, which bought Guo Jia a whole day to completely eliminate the unrest in the northern part of the town, and at the same time Fang Zhiwen's troops were also withdrawn.
Thirty miles south of Guanyin Mountain, it is a hilly area. Originally, it was not very suitable for cavalry activities, but there was no problem for Fang Zhiwen's guards at all, because their war horses could receive packages at any time, and 1,500 of the 4,000 guards were general-level soldiers. The ratio of officers and soldiers is as high as two-fifths.
"Lord, why haven't you come yet?"
"Who knows, but the habits of the Japanese are said to be like this, they like to take risks strategically, they are too cautious in tactics, and they like to follow the rules, so it is understandable to be slow."
"The lord knows a lot about the Japanese people.1 Zhen Xiang said in surprise while chewing the hay stalk in his mouth.
"Huh. Xueyin said, but it wasn't very reflective in previous battles, didn't you think they were slow to adapt? ”
"Sometimes, sometimes it's fast."
"Nonsense, there are still people who are virtuous and stupid, there will always be some differences."
"Hey, hey."
"Coming, the Flying Eagle has discovered the enemy scouts, ordered the scouts, sniped the opponent's scouts, and knocked out the eyes and ears of the enemy army1
"No1
"My lord. We are up to the challenge? ”
"The attack, but a flanking attack, went around to the south, launched an attack from the direction of the Shimokawa valley and then withdrew."
The killing of the Japanese scouts quickly alerted them, and the troops marched more and more carefully.
Fang Zhiwen launched an attack from the river valley to the south, although it surprised the Japanese people a little. But he did not panic, but tightly maintained the formation, used the shield and baggage cart as a barrier, and soon arranged the infantry formation.
Fang Zhiwen did not attack the formation of the Japanese people, but remained outside the range of the enemy, along the river valley from east to west, swept through, accurate shooting to the inexperienced enemy troops after causing heavy casualties, turned around, opened the distance again, from west to east and carried out another crossing, after seeing that the enemy had prepared artillery, Fang Zhiwen withdrew from the range of artillery, and then carried out a heavy crossbow throwing attack in the distance.
Originally, the damage that this kind of attack could cause was also very limited, after all, there were high-level generals among the opponents, and the offensive and defensive attributes of the enemy were not bad, so the effect of non-precision attacks would naturally not be very ideal.
However, Fang Zhiwen's skills are very scary, every time he uses the skills of concentrated fire shooting and arrow rain, he is a piece of mourning, which can cause heavy casualties to the enemy, so passively beaten, the Japanese will definitely not do it, the Japanese people in the front team will defend in situ, and the Japanese people in the back team have opened to both sides, trying to bypass the river valley, and the other party Zhiwen formed an encirclement.
Seeing this, Fang Zhiwen immediately led the army to evacuate, but Fang Zhiwen did not run far, but rushed south towards the outflanked Japanese people, and after another round of rapid attacks, the Japanese people on this road were forced to stop, but the north side wanted to outflank Fang Zhiwen's back road to the west.
Fang Zhiwen simply led the troops to continue south, towards the rear of the Japanese people, this large army of hundreds of thousands of people, the line was quite long when marching, Fang Zhiwen wanted to find many opportunities for a surprise attack.
Fang Zhiwen's combat power is strong, but the number of troops is not large, the Japanese commander still judges that the other party is a containment force, the enemy is building a fortress under the small city to attack the city, it must be the blocking troops here, if you think about it this way, you should try to eat this blocking force first, after all, the situation in the small city is not so bad, and it will definitely be no problem to hold out for ten days and a half months.
Therefore, the Japanese people were not in a hurry, but very patiently entangled with Fang Zhiwen, the Japanese people took the team as a unit, almost all of them were scattered, and the Fang Zhiwen was surrounded and intercepted in a considerable range, but unfortunately, Fang Zhiwen's cavalry was very fast, and it could cross the mountains and mountains at any time, unless the Japanese blocked the surrounding mountains, otherwise it was a fool's dream to block Fang Zhiwen.
After a whole day of pursuit, the Japanese commander found that this cavalry was too slippery to catch it, and he was played by others like a fool for a day, with nearly 10,000 casualties, and he didn't even touch a single hair of the opponent, and wasted a day's time in vain, although time is not so important, but it is obviously not a good idea to continue.
As a result, the Japanese people shrank their troops and set up a camp to the south relying on the fortress, no longer entangled with Fang Zhiwen.
However, Fang Zhiwen didn't plan to stop like this, at night, Fang Zhiwen appeared outside the camp, after clearing the light and dark sentry, a thousand trebuchets were erected, a meal of fire oil and fireballs, and the camp of the Japanese people was set on fire, and the Japanese people did not dare to attack in a large group when they saw the darkness outside, so they could only send a small combat force, but these small troops composed of samurai and ninjas really played a small role in front of the regular army, not to mention, Fang Zhiwen's troops had a strong ability in reconnaissance.
The Japanese saw that the troops they sent out were all meat buns and dogs and had no return, but the enemy troops still shifted direction from time to time and launched attacks into the camp, but the Japanese people could not do it, so they could only use artillery to return fire in the estimated direction, and constantly drove Fang Zhiwen's troops.
When it was almost dawn, the Han army withdrew, and the pungent smell of gunsmoke and fire oil filled the camp of the Japanese people, and the camp was in shambles, and from time to time you could see the charred corpses of horses and aborigines, which was not comfortable in any way.
The itinerary of the second day was like a copy of the first day, however, this time, the Japanese did not desperately pursue Fang Zhiwen's troops, but just drove them away, and then smoothly let the large army pass, all the way to a valley called Dongchuan smoothly, suddenly a gong sounded on the mountains on both sides, countless stones and oil tanks were overwhelmingly smashed down, and then a fireball was thrown down, under the frightened gaze of the Japanese people, the entire valley was suddenly burned into a sea of fire.
In the dry mountains in winter, the gunpowder of the Japanese people was martyred, and the fire oil thrown by the Han army was burning, and the Han army that had fallen on the mountain was so hot that they could not stand it, so they had to quickly evacuate to the east side, and by the way, the Japanese troops who had not yet entered the valley were surrounded, and then there was a siege and annihilation battle.
It turned out that Fang Zhiwen tried every means to delay the other party yesterday, just to buy time for Guo Jia's troops to go north and the troops hidden in Guanyin Mountain to go south, and Fang Zhiwen suddenly hunted the other party's scouts and ninjas, but also to make the Japanese lose their vigilance, coupled with Guo Jia and Li Ru's ambush hiding skills, they finally succeeded in luring the Japanese reinforcements into the trap, and the effect of this sea of fire and hell was surprisingly good.
Subsequently, Guo Jia's ambush was launched in a row, and the arriving Inhuman troops surrounded the remnants of the Japanese reinforcements, and the Han army, which occupied the geographical advantage, fought very bravely, plus Fang Zhiwen's cavalry repeatedly assaulted the enemy's key points, and soon the remaining Japanese soldiers were also scattered and divided and annihilated.
The battle didn't end until night, during which the enemy army in the small city once planned to go out of the city to support, but Taishi Zhaorong and the Inhuman cavalry slowed them down, and by the time they arrived, the battle had come to an end, and Guo Jia could still divide the troops to try to eat these hundreds of thousands of troops in one bite.
Fortunately, the command of the Japanese people was very vigilant, and as soon as they found the strange change in the strength of the enemy's resistance, they immediately issued an order to retreat, but they were chased back to the small city by Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong all the way, leaving the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers along the way.
Guo Jia cleaned up the battlefield, returned to the small city, and surrounded the small city, now the situation in the small city is really critical, to send reinforcements from the west of the Kansai, it will be half a month later, if the surrounding troops are mobilized to shrink back to the small city, maybe there will be a similar situation, but if the small city is not rescued, the western part of Kyushu will be divided, and the Han army will get a stable rear.
The strategic posture of the Japanese is terrible! To be continued...
