Ikeda Hengxing's method still had an effect, and after Sun Miao saw this situation, he did not dare to take risks, and immediately let the Sunset Army retreat as a whole, and then gathered elite forces to intercept the two Japanese generals who were responsible for outflanking.
Sun Miao is very aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the Sunset Legion, if there is enough space for the Sunset Legion to play, then the Sunset Legion is almost invincible, but once they fall into the encirclement, then they will only be greeted by the whole army, because their army is completely sacrificing their personal defense and pursuing the ultimate speed and attack power.
Dozens of ninth-order wildebeest archers and all the generals instantly broke away from the team and rushed to both sides, with the speed advantage of the wildebeest, they quickly rushed to the front of the Japanese ** team, a round of arrows passed, and more than ten people on the side of the Japanese ** team were suddenly shot over. However, the strength of these Japanese generals was not weak, and many of them blocked the attack of arrows.
However, Ikeda was not very pleased with this result, and although it would be much better than any of the previous methods of all-round advancement, it would not change their current predicament. Regardless of the number of arrows that this cavalry corps carried in front of him, if this continued, his Ikeda army under the command of the famous Oda Daimyo would be completely history.
In desperation, Ikeda Hengxing gave an order that he was very reluctant to make, that is, to let the heavy shield soldiers come forward, list the shield array, and advance as a whole. Obviously, this formation was the most effective way to fight the archers, but it would slow down the march.
On the plain four or five kilometers wide, a neat column of heavy shield soldiers marched forward magnificently. Ahead, there were groups of nimble archers shuttling left and right, but all the arrows they shot were blocked by the opponent's heavy shields.
Sun Miao immediately ordered the army to stop the attack, just let the Sunset Legion retreat while waiting for the fighters, he didn't believe that these guys could stay in the turtle shell for a lifetime. He knew that the other party's army was going to Izumo City to support, although the purpose of the Sunset Army was not to prevent Oda Nobunaga from going to Izumo City, on the contrary, he had to let this army continue to advance, but the speed of this advance needed to be controlled by him, and now the speed of this Japanese ** team was too slow. It is not in line with Guo Jia's plan.
Now it's better than anyone's patience. If Sun Miao couldn't help it first, he hurriedly retreated one after another, and provided space for the Japanese ** team to advance, then his plan to destroy the opponent's living forces as much as possible through this canyon plain could not be said to be stranded. But it's definitely not going to be that perfect. But if it's a Japanese ** team, I can't help it. Forcibly rush forward. Then the battle behind is much easier. Of course, it would be even more perfect if the other party deployed as Guo Jia speculated.
Ikeda Hengxing when he was ambushed. He didn't inform Maeda Keiji at the first time, because he felt that the less than 20,000 people were easy to be wiped out, and if this little thing needed to be reported, wouldn't it seem that he was very incompetent? Therefore, Keiji Maeda and others do not know the situation ahead. However, as the speed of the army at the front slowed down, the rear army was soon affected.
Keiji Maeda immediately ordered the detective to go and inquire about the situation. Soon, the detective returned and told Keiji Maeda what had happened to Ikeda Tsuneko.
Maeda Keiji's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "This Ikeda Hengxing is getting more and more disagreeable!" I didn't even report such an important thing! When this war is over, Ben Shuai will definitely report to the great name and punish him for the crime of delaying the fighter! Toyotomi-kun, what do you think of these people in front of you? I can't catch up with it, and I can't surround it! It's really troublesome. ”
Toyotomi Hideyoshi pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think Baiyun City sent this army to intercept for?" ”
Keiji Maeda didn't think about it, so he said, "Isn't this obvious? They want to stop us from coming to the aid of Izumo Castle. ”
Toyotomi Hideyoshi shook his head and said, "Has Maeda-kun ever thought about it, is it possible to stop the pace of our army of more than a million with less than 20,000 cavalry on the other side?" Although we don't have cavalry here, most of the generals are always mounted, and as long as they adjust slightly, the opponent's men and horses will not play much role at all. ”
Keiji Maeda still didn't believe Toyotomi Hideyoshi's statement, and said, "It's normal, they didn't want to annihilate us all, they just wanted to harass us along the way, delay our march, and make it impossible for us to reach Izumo Castle on time, it's clear that they've partially succeeded now." I really can't think of anything else possible. ”
Toyotomi Hideyoshi smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe what you say makes sense!" But I always felt that something was wrong.
Keiji Maeda said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, it's a big deal that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, so let's solve the problem in front of us first!" Toyotomi-kun, tell me, what do we do with this rogue army? ”
Toyotomi Hideyoshi sighed, and instead of continuing to dwell on the original question, he said: "Actually, it is very simple, the opponent's tactic is to use their own strengths and attack the other's weaknesses, relying on their absolute superiority in speed and attack distance to shoot our personnel. If we want to crack it, we also need to know our strengths. Judging from the current situation, our advantage is in numbers, not only the number of ordinary soldiers, but also the number of generals. The combined strength of the three major legions above the king level, together with you and me, has a total of thirteen people. With these thirteen people, we can break the opponent's tactics. ”
Keiji Maeda seemed to understand a little and said, "What does Toyotomi-kun mean, let's unite the thirteen people and rush over and carry out the decapitation operation?" ”
Toyotomi Hideyoshi said: "It is inevitable that we will join forces, but it is not so easy to decapitate. According to the situation detected by the reconnaissance cavalry just now, the Baiyun City legion in front has a great advantage in speed, even if it is Tian Jun's mount before, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up. But the purpose of what I am talking about is not to decapitate, but to expel them, and the opposing army, which has only a long-range advantage, will not dare to engage us in close combat, so that as long as we rush forward, they will inevitably retreat. Because with our strength, those arrows could hardly hurt us, and they didn't dare to let our men rush behind them, so they had to retreat. As long as they withdraw, won't the dilemma in front of them be solved? ”
"Wonderful!" Keiji Maeda said with joy! Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi's force was inferior to him, he was very impressed by the wisdom of the other party: "Let's go now, if the Baiyun City army doesn't withdraw, it's better, we will definitely be able to annihilate them all here!" ”
Toyotomi Hideyoshi smiled, but he didn't have any hope for this, looking at the opponent's entire combat deployment now, he was obviously not stupid, so he would never make such a low-level mistake.
At that moment, Keiji Maeda and Toyotomi Hideyoshi gathered the king-level powerful generals of the other two major legions, and then left the team and rushed forward.
Soon, Keiji Maeda and the others saw Ikeda Hengxing in front, and at this time, he didn't bother to question this self-righteous army commander, and said Toyotomi Hideyoshi's opinion with a cold face, and then ordered the heavy shield soldiers in front to get out of the way.
Suddenly, the thirteen generals grabbed their horses in their crotches and rushed out in an instant, with a distance of almost sixty or seventy meters between each general, so although there were only thirteen of them, they also covered a battlefield more than a kilometer wide. And Maeda Keiji himself went straight to Sun Miao, his gnashing expression illustrating his anger at the moment.
……
Sun Miao couldn't help but tilt slightly when he saw the thirteen people rushing out of the opponent's battle array. However, he didn't despise the other party just because there were only thirteen people on the other side. These are the three main armies under the command of Oda Nobunaga, and the thirteen people who rushed out now naturally cannot be fuel-efficient lamps.
However, Sun Miao still plans to test it, and the lack of certainty will always make her heart unsure. He didn't have a skill like probing, but the method of temptation was simple, and that was to have the wildebeest archers attack the people who had come out of the hedge.
A rain of arrows drifted over, and the result came out immediately, and the thirteen people actually rushed out of the rain of arrows unscathed, you must know that they are hundreds of people attacking one person, the density of this arrow is very amazing, the other party can rush out of the rain of arrows, and the strength can be seen. And he, the other two king-level generals, as well as dozens of ninth-order soldiers, all attacked the person who rushed towards him, but they also failed to hurt the other party.
It looks like I've really met the main owner.
"Retreat! Keep your distance! Sun Miao immediately gave an order.
All the wildebeest archers stopped shooting arrows, turned their horses' heads and ran south, rushing hundreds of meters away in an instant. Keiji Maeda and others can only eat ashes in the back!
The day before yesterday, Qingci saw that the pursuit was hopeless, so he immediately asked everyone to stop, and then let the army resume its formation and continue to advance at full speed. I had just been delayed by this Baiyun City army for nearly half an hour, and if I didn't dare to hurry, I was afraid that I would really not be able to reach Izumo City on time.
After a while, Maeda Keiji found that the Sunset Army had run away, so he returned to the Chinese army, after all, such a large army, without himself in the Chinese army, may not be able to take care of the beginning and the end if something goes wrong.
However, he had not been in the Chinese army for a few minutes when he received a report from the front that the archers' cavalry corps had reappeared, and if it had not been for the heavy shield soldiers who had been in front, I was afraid that this time they would have suffered a lot of losses.
In desperation, Keiji Maeda had no choice but to continue to rush to the front of the team and drive the Sunset Army away again.
But when Maeda Keiji returned again, the Sunset Legion reappeared, making him depressed and wanted to vomit blood. But he had to go, because he couldn't watch the speed of the team slow down.
After these few times of chasing after me, the army has advanced nearly twenty kilometers, and the entire canyon plain has completed one-third of it. (To be continued)
