Chapter 60: The Crusade to Kyushu VIII
readx;
This kind of crossbow chariot vigorously promoted by Zhang Jiashi is actually not better than the infantry strong crossbowmen in terms of long-range fire suppression, and it can even be said to have a great disadvantage, after all, the number of people is limited here, and you can't expect the crossbow chariot that often fights with less than 1,000 people to be able to do anything with thousands of arrows. Writing, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info this thing itself is impossible.
So after seeing that the long-range suppression of the crossbow chariot actually didn't have much effect, Wenle knew very well that he had to make the next move.
"After charging and firing twice, everyone concentrates on charging towards the southeastern perimeter of the enemy's formation, and then turns back!"
Wen Le said the way he planned to fight, and the five hundred lords of the Qin army, who were originally concentrated around him, quickly left and arranged Wen Le's arrangements.
......
The situation on the Japanese side is actually not very good, after all, such a situation of being directly suppressed and unable to fight back is enough to make many people's will to fight quickly fade.
But, as Wenle estimated, these Japanese commanders did have a brush or two.
The identity of the other party, even some historians in later generations, spent a long time unable to determine, and even the name or anything could not be known.
After all, it is impossible to understand such a situation in a country where there is no corresponding script. Later generations can only speculate out of thin air or take all kinds of very nonsense legends as the corresponding basis.
As for the Japanese Emperor Jimmu, I am afraid that even the Japanese Prince Shotoku in the Heian period will spray the faces of later historians:
"Why haven't I ever heard of such a person???
Emperor Jimmu or something, it is a statement that gradually spread after the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Japan, and its credibility is ...... It's like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors or something, you can't find an official explanation in the Qin Dynasty or the pre-Qin period. After all, this is not the year when the gods and Buddhas are flying everywhere.
As for what was the totemic symbol of the Japanese at that time?
Not many people really know about this.
It can be seen that many of the things recorded in writing alone are not very credible, so if you want to understand the situation at that time without even writing, the credibility is even lower.
Therefore, under these circumstances, some of the so-called pure descendants who tried to revive Japan in the future, but in fact could not get along with the Japanese ancestor Hachiko, who was already in a state of extinction, gave a name to such a hero who was in their hearts as a hero against the Qin people who enslaved them -- Kokoi Koichi.
After the research of the corresponding historians of the Great Qin Empire, they quickly came to a conclusion, and they published a notice in the newspapers and periodicals at that time:
"For Gu Guangguangyi, there is no evidence that can verify the name of the other party. Of course, it is not that the other party does not exist in the long river of history, but I am afraid that Zhang Jiashi, who was General Zuo at the time, will not know what his opponent is called. ”
After this announcement appeared, public opinion in the Great Qin Empire basically showed a one-sided situation, ridiculing these ignorant "peers".
Of course, after experiencing the relative weakness of the Great Qin Empire in a few years and temporarily gaining autonomy and deriving a unique local culture, many people really believe this statement, but after a large-scale dialectical study, Gu Guang Guangyi was confirmed to exist, but it is impossible to argue the existence of everything in his life.
This is obviously disgraced by some people, of course, they are a little more disciplined than some "peers" located in the Shang County area, after all, it can be regarded as a Shang County with a strip of water, and some people directly claim that Zhang Jiashi is a person from their Shang County.
Ahem, this thing...... Doesn't it sound familiar?
But that's for later......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
"Rush, !!"
More than 1,000 Qin army knights under Wen Le's command, under the orders of one officer after another, after a period of acceleration, came to a distance of about 200 meters from the north of the Japanese battle formation, which was still intact.
At this time, the speed of the Qin army knights was not quite fast. Then, with a sound of crossbow arrows flying into the Japanese formation, almost all of them quickly loaded the next batch of arrows.
At this time, the Ranger troops, who had been trained for a long time, were no longer the ones that had paid a considerable price in their training nearly two years ago.
After summing up a more effective and implemented training method, although it is impossible to prevent some accidents, since it can be said to be an accident, this method is indeed a good way.
In order to achieve this, without a long period of training and the familiarity of the officers and men of the unit with the corresponding orders, I am afraid that it would be good not to add chaos to Zhang Jiashi's operations.
Soon, more and more Qin knights flanked and came to a distance of about 150 meters from the Japanese battle formation.
Many of them have already completed reloading and are waiting for the launch order.
"Put !!"
With such an order, the officers and men of the Ranger unit once again launched a rain of arrows into the Japanese formation.
After doing this, the knight in front quickly took the lead and increased his speed again towards the periphery of the Japanese battle formation, that is, the position in the southeast.
Soon, the knights were about 100 meters away from the Japanese battle formation, and they cut diagonally past them.
At this time, more than 100 people in the Japanese battle formation were shot by two waves of arrows one after another. And the bows and arrows they fired at these knights could not effectively pierce the leather armor worn by most of the rangers at such a distance.
After all, the Japanese now also know how to make bows and arrows, although, in many ways, the bow and arrow technology made by the Japanese is not even as good as the self-made bows and arrows of the old hunters in the Great Qin Empire, and it is not too difficult to throw a distance of more than 100 meters.
And expecting these weak bows and arrows to be able to shoot through the leather armor of the cavalry troops in the lower reaches of Zhang Jiashi's command is not ordinary.
However, this is not to say that the Qin army did not suffer any casualties at all. It is impossible for these "soft" bows and arrows to penetrate the armor, but it is not a big problem to shoot into the unprotected parts of the knights and horses.
Many of the Qin soldiers who were shot in the arm were able to grit their teeth and persevere, but they didn't leave the team until they reached a safer place.
But officers and soldiers who were shot in the neck or fell off their mounts due to the pain of their horses did not have such good luck.
Many people have not recovered from the severe pain of being thrown off their horses, and they are directly trampled by the mount of the robe behind them.
And these people, very few of whom can be rescued after the war......
......
Of course, Wen Le can see such a situation clearly, and he doesn't have a very good way to do such a thing, after all, the strength of the other party is indeed quite weak in many ways, but they are obviously not enemies who are powerless to fight back.
After directing the troops to a distance of about 300 meters to the southeast of the Japanese battle formation, Wenle quickly regrouped his troops.
Glancing at the Japanese battle formation, which had changed directions, Wen Le did not directly order another raid, because he saw that the Japanese army formation seemed to be slowly retreating.
Wen Le, who saw this scene, did not act rashly in order to confirm whether his observation was correct.
It wasn't until a long time later that Wenle saw that the enemy was indeed retreating.
And at this time, Wenle was not happy that he had won the battle so quickly. On the contrary, he was a little worried, because he was able to see these enemy commanders, and they did have quite good command combat capabilities.
If the other party is the biggest enemy this time, Wenle believes that Zhang Jiashi really needs to worry about such a situation.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
In the following time, Wen Le did not take the initiative to communicate with the Qin people in this camp, but led the troops to rest in another area about three kilometers north of the camp.
If there are no accidents, the troops under Zhang Jiashi's command will be able to reach this place this afternoon or at dusk.
In this case, dealing with this kind of thing is more left to General Zuo to be responsible.
Wenle did this not because he was worried about getting into trouble, but because he didn't want to get in touch with these people and save a lot of trouble.
Besides, his identity is not suitable for such a thing. It is true that he is the forward commander of the Qin army deployed in these operations, but he is not a descendant of Zhang Jiashi, but a captain who was put into the Zuo General's Mansion after the fall of Jizi Joseon.
And this camp, although he has not directly dealt with the other party, he also feels that this camp is obviously related to Daqin.
Why, then, did he have to trouble himself for someone who was not strictly speaking to him for the time being?
......
And just as Wenle estimated, under the order of Zhang Jiashi, the main force of the Qin army, which was considered to be the longest one-day march in the Kyushu Island operation, converged with Wenle's troops at dusk.
Of course, after confirming the area about three kilometers to the south, since there was really a camp, Zhang Jiashi discussed with Zhang Cang and the others.
Zhang Jiashi looked at Zhang Cang, who was found by him from the command of the camp construction, and said after a while: "Strategist, do you think we should send personnel to contact the other party now?"
Zhang Jiashi said contact, Zhang Cang didn't understand what he meant at first, but he quickly thought that there was only one factor for Zhang Jiashi to say this.
That's the question of the camp to the south of these.
Now that he knows Zhang Jiashi's problem, it is not a problem for Zhang Cang.
He pondered for a moment before he said, "My lord, we should do this tomorrow. ”
Zhang Jiashi heard Zhang Cang's words, and had some doubts in his heart, he looked at one of his right-hand men in confusion, and said after a while: "Why do you want tomorrow?"
"My lord, although they are also from our Great Qin, but after so many years, we have to be a little wary of them. If there is any chaos at this time, I am afraid that we will not have time to respond effectively. After all, the soldiers are quite tired, and it is much more appropriate to rest for a night than to continue to force the battle that may take place now. ”
Hearing Zhang Cang's explanation, Zhang Jiashi nodded slightly, he knew very well that Zhang Cang's arrangement was understandable. After all, as Zhang Cang said, his troops are going through such a day's long march, although it is not as great as a rapid march to consume a huge amount of physical strength, but if there is really any problem, I am afraid it will be quite troublesome.
"You go and arrange everything. Zhang Jiashi nodded, and then watched Zhang Cang take a few steps backwards and walk to the door of the camp where torches had been lit, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, for these people of Great Qin, who had been uprooted from their homeland for many years and had been deceived by Xu Fu, but who had already thrived in this place, Zhang Jiashi was not too sure that he would be able to let them return.
In some cases, although these people are quite dissatisfied with Xu Fu, there is a problem, that is, since Xu Fu has not suffered a "horizontal death" for so many years, it is obvious that he is not a simple liar who can do it.
"If that letter from my father-in-law doesn't do anything, then what should I do?"
Zhang Jiashi muttered to himself and said this sentence.
......
Xu Fu is rumored to be a monk with a certain ability.
Moreover, Zhang Jiashi did not think that if Xu Fu did not have a certain ability to coordinate the corresponding arrangements of these personnel, I am afraid that he would not be able to wait for their arrival and be destroyed by the Japanese.
It seems that some people in later generations brought the boys and girls to Japan with Xu Fu, who are the ancestors of the Japanese......
Well, this matter is very unreliable and even lacks common sense from two aspects.
The first is the ethnographic origin of Japan, although it is true that it was immigrated from the East Asian continent to the west, but it is clear that the time was much earlier.
And if you have to count, the "wild people" in the Samhan region are closer to the current ancestors of the Yamato clan than the so-called "boy scouts".
The second is a matter of complete common sense, the true origin of the Japanese writing is that the saying is mainly that the envoys of the Sui and Tang dynasties who crossed to the west were established after learning the Sui and Tang cultures at that time.
And this most credible statement is the most correct one, then the question arises.
In other words, there was a clear blank period in Japanese writing before that. And compared to this situation, do these boys and girls and that Xu Fu have no culture at all?
The answer, of course, is no.
Not to mention the knowledge of these boys and girls, Xu Fu's knowledge alone should be quite extensive. Taking 10,000 steps back, let's just say that these seven or eight thousand people are illiterate, so Xu Fu naturally has no problem teaching a small number of people, isn't it?
It is clear that the fate of these boys and girls, as well as the rest of the fleet, ...... It can well be imagined.
Either they were exterminated by these Japanese ancestors who were still in the late primitive system or around the middle of the slave system, or they were ...... was fused by the other party by some means.
Judging from this inference, Xu Fu and the personnel of the dispatch fleet who followed him back then had a worrying fate. Instead of the so-called male ploughing and female weaving to create a new situation.
Some things are very reasonable, but after careful consideration, you can see that such a statement is completely unreasonable.
Some people may use the culture to illustrate this point by saying that the Jomon culture in Japan at that time suddenly evolved to Jinshi and used it to illustrate this point, but Zhang Jiashi does not think that this can be used as proof that the so-called people who went east to Japan can continue.
It's like, there are some things that you can do when you look at them, but it's like words or something, and without the corresponding platform, it's impossible for you to know what it means.
It's like a foreign language, you haven't learned it, you know what it means? Of course, it's negative.
In this case, Zhang Jiashi thinks that his arrival has indeed saved these people, but the attitude of the other party is also something that Zhang Jiashi has to think about.
After all, no matter what happened to Zhang Jiashi, it was impossible to shout loudly directly: "I'm here to save you!"
He's not a secondary two, and he's not a brain-dead, so of course he wouldn't do something that looks stupid, but it's actually very stupid.
"Perhaps, as the military advisor said, we will contact the other party tomorrow and then move on to the next step. ”
Zhang Jiashi muttered such a sentence to himself, and the two girls in front of Zhang Jiashi looked at him inexplicably.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Although the battles experienced by Zhang Jiashi after the landing were not too fierce, even the naval battle that was considered a fierce battle was only given some special explanations in the history of the war sorted out by later generations.
However, in the midst of an invisible battlefield, a large number of native Japanese myths were slaughtered by a fundamentally incomparable enemy.
This is inevitable, after all, the strength of these existences does not come entirely from their own cultivation, but also partly from the corresponding power of faith.
This is also why Fu Xi did not hesitate to personally confront the other party in order to deal with the Xuanniao King. Because the Xuanyao King at that time could be said to be a more powerful existence than most of the divine beasts.
However, in this part of Japan, many of the existence of spirit beasts in the Central Plains region can only be regarded as the existence of spirit beasts, and they can "occupy the mountain as the king", and this strength can fight against the luxury monster farming group including the green dragon and the unicorn?
Except for Amaterasu, who had fought Kirin for less than dozens of rounds and fled directly, few so-called Japanese gods and monsters could fight against these beings whose strength far surpassed them.
And in the naval battle some time ago, a kappa king and a large kraken that looked like an octopus in Huang Qinmin's fleet that had planned to stir up the wind and make waves were easily solved by Qinglong.
However, this kind of strength does not have much significance for these divine beasts, it is more of a way to pass the time.
Of course, Qinglong scoffed at such a statement, after all, he once said angrily to one of his old buddies, Qilin: "You are not passing the time, you are just afraid of trouble." ”
Qinglong, who was told what he was going to do, was going to fool him by directly gagging, and what was waiting for him was the middle finger that these old guys stretched out at him......
