Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Without any hesitation, Maeda's army entered the plain of the gorge, and when it reached four or five kilometers deep, more than half of the members of the Ikeda Legion at the forefront had already crossed over. The commander of the Ikeda Legion, Ikeda Tsuneko, rode his horse to the front, and at this time he was full of ambition and prepared to show his skills in the Battle of Izumo Castle.
At this moment, an adjutant general beside him frowned and said: "Commander, my subordinates always feel that the situation around here is a little weird, although the people here are relatively sparse, but there shouldn't be a single figure for a few kilometers?" ”
Ikeda Hengxing smiled and said, "What's so strange about this, it's just past noon, and those farmers may be eating at home!" Don't you see that almost everyone's chimney is smoking? Moreover, the terrain here is flat, and there is not even a place to hide. Even if the other party wants to ambush, they won't look for this ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and stopped. Because he saw a group of cavalry standing upright on the official road in front of him, not moving, and the war horse under his crotch was also very strange, and its head actually had a pair of antlers-like things.
Ikeda Hengxing is not stupid, although he doesn't know which side of the forces these people in front of him belong to, but since the other party appears here, the ten ** are friends and foes.
"Who are you waiting for! I, Ikeda Tsuneko, the commander of the Ikeda Legion under the command of Naoda Daimyo, have something important to rush to Izumo Castle! Are you waiting here to block the way, do you want to rebel? Ikeda stopped and shouted. He was not wrong in what he said, because this is a place under the jurisdiction of Oda Nobunaga, and now there is an army to stop the direct forces of the Daimyo, what is it not a rebellion?
A man from the cavalry team in front of him replied with a smile, "I have a few friends who are setting off fireworks in Izumo Castle!" Worried that someone will come to disturb you, I will let you know here that I hope you will go back to where you came from. That shouldn't be a problem, right? ”
Ikeda Hengxing was stunned for a moment, and when he woke up, he was immediately furious, these people dared to blatantly prevent them from going to Izumo City, it must be the army of Baiyun City. He could see that the army in front of him was less than 20,000, and he dared to intercept their more than one million elite troops. Ikeda immediately ordered the whole army to attack and give the other side a blow to the head. He had already received instructions from Keiji Maeda before, and once he discovered the Baiyun City army, he would immediately annihilate it.
Ikeda Hengxing guessed correctly, the army in front of him was the Sunset Legion of Baiyun City, and the person who spoke first was the legion commander Sun Miao. At this time, the size of the Sunset Legion had increased compared to before, but it was still not comparable to the other main armies, and until now, the Sunset Legion had only 18,000 men, and the reason for its slow growth was the limited number of wildebeests. Yang Tian also thought about finding other war horses that could replace the wildebeest, but the result was unsuccessful. Until now, he had not found a horse that could match the speed of a wildebeest.
However, although the number of the Sunset Legion is small, don't underestimate these people, since it can become the twelve main legions of Baiyun City, it naturally makes sense, and the small scale also has the advantage of small scale, such as changing clothes, it is much easier than other legions. The current wildebeest archers have been replaced with a full set of gold-level equipment. With the exception of weapons, which increase attack power, all other armor has the ability to increase speed or stamina. Nowadays, the wildebeest archer, running at full speed, can reach more than 300 kilometers per hour, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is appalling.
A large number of elite troops surrounded the Sunset Army, but Sun Miao was not worried at all, and ordered unhurriedly: "Take the hundred-man team as a group, each group will scatter and attack, with the purpose of annihilating the enemy's living forces, exchange space for time, and gradually retreat!" ”
As soon as Sun Miao's voice fell, the Sunset Legion suddenly scattered, and each hundred-man squad under the leadership of the centurion looked for an attack target, wandering on the battlefield like loaches.
Now the soldiers of the Sunset Legion are all composed of eighth-order soldiers, and the lineup of generals is also luxurious, all centurions are special-level generals, and they are super-level peak generals, if it weren't for the fact that they haven't gotten enough internal skills for the time being, they may have already been upgraded to king-level generals. As for the commanders, they are all composed of king-level generals. The qualifications of these people are not low, they are all experienced in a hundred battles, and their grasp of fighters is even more perfect, coupled with the advantages of equipment and mounts, they are not worried about falling into the encirclement of the enemy army at all.
Arrows flew towards Ikeda's army as if they had eyes, each arrow taking a life......
Ikeda Hengxing, who rushed to the forefront, was depressed, although his crotch mount was a rare BMW, but it was only better than the balance of attributes, in terms of speed alone, he was not faster than the wildebeest of the Sunset Army, and even in terms of flexibility, it was a little worse, so although he felt sorry for the soldiers under his command who were shot, but he was helpless, and even at this time he was a little difficult to protect himself, because he was targeted by Sun Miao and the other two captains.
In order to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the Sunset Legion, Yang Tian even gave Sun Miao the soul of a first-class historical military general and the specialties and talents of the archers, although it cost a lot of points, but it was very worthwhile. Just like now, as a first-class historical general, Ikeda Hengxing has no power to fight back under the combined attack of Sun Miao and the other two king-level generals, of course, the attacks used by Sun Miao and the three of them are all arrows, and this Ikeda Hengxing can't fight back even if he wants to, because he can't reach the other party at all.
Ikeda Hengxing felt remorse in his heart, he knew that this was the situation, and he had directly practiced his bow and arrow, even if he didn't practice archery well, it would be good to carry a better longbow with him! It will not fall into the current situation of being completely passively beaten.
After this asymmetrical war lasted more than ten minutes, Ikeda's army paid for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, while the Sunset army did not hurt a single soldier, which made Ikeda Hengxing understand that if he relied on this method alone, he would not be able to help the other party at all. If this continues, they will eventually be wiped out.
At this time, the battlefield was no longer limited to the official road, and with the deliberate guidance of the Sunset Legion, the entire canyon plain became a battlefield.
"All the generals are gathered and outflanked on two wings! The army advanced in an arc formation. Ikeda immediately changed its strategy.
The order was quickly executed, and all the generals of special strength or above gathered and formed a formation with each other, and surrounded the Sunset Legion from the riverbank and under the cliffs. (To be continued)
