Chapter 998: Feint Attack and Feint Defeat
After many years, in the territory of the Japanese State, the Tang Army once again launched a killing of the Japanese people.
This time, the name of the Tang army is the suzerain, the lord of the Wa State is in decline, and there are many people who are not subservients in various places.
Under the banner of the suzerain's country being the younger brother of the vassal ministers, this time the Tang army under Li Qinzai's command not only occupied the moral high ground, but also possessed absolute superiority in force.
Three days later, Liu Renyuan and Wang Fangyi's troops defeated a total of five local armed forces of the Japanese State, defeating more than 4,000 enemies.
In accordance with Li Qinzai's military order, all the Japanese who participated in the rebellion against the Tang army were beheaded, regardless of whether they surrendered on the battlefield or not, they were not forgiven, and no one was left alive.
In addition, half of the local forces that laid down their weapons and rushed to Asuka City to submit to the lord of the Wa Kingdom, so far, almost all the small local forces in the Wa Kingdom have been wiped out by the Tang army.
However, the Wa Kingdom was not peaceful, because there was still a large force that grew stronger, and this force was temporarily allied by four local forces after learning that Li Qinzai had issued a decree to respect the king, and because they were unwilling to obey Li Qinzai's order, the number of which is said to have reached more than 20,000.
It's a big fish, but in front of the firearms of the Tang Army, it's not enough to see.
Most of these local forces are composed of peasant households from all over the country, who have not received strict military drills, nor have they experienced the baptism of swords and swords on the battlefield, and to put it bluntly, they are a group of rabble who collect protection money in the countryside or towns, and rob and extort money part-time.
No matter how many people this kind of goods are, how many rounds can they hold in front of Tang Jun, who is armed with sharp firearms and has been trained for many years?
In that year, Li Qinzai's war of annihilation against the Japanese State almost wiped out the real military strength of the Japanese State, resulting in the combat power of the so-called armed forces in the Japanese State today being more than a step behind that of the past.
Asuka outside the castle camp.
The camp was heavily guarded, and there were many swords and halberds around the tent, and the strings and crossbows were controlled.
There were a few candles lit in the tent, but the light was still a little dim.
A spy of the Hundred Cavalry Division stood respectfully in front of Li Qinzai and whispered the recent information of the Hundred Cavalry Division.
"The local forces that came to Assuka City from all over the country to surrender to the lord of the Wa Kingdom, a total of more than ten shares, the number of people is about 20,000, according to Li Shuai's order, these people put down their weapons and were confined outside Assuka City, guarded by more than 1,000 of our soldiers."
Li Qinzai nodded and motioned for him to continue.
The spy continued: "Most of these forces are rabble, all of them are gathered by peasant households from all over the country, and there is another thing, when more than 20,000 people bowed down to Asuka City to show their submission, the lord of the Wa Kingdom drank and feasted in the palace......
"According to the royal eyeliner, the lord of the country was drunk that day, saying that thanks to the righteous help of the Duke of Li County, and thanks to the decree issued by the Duke of Li County, the prestige of the royal family will finally be restored."
Li Qinzai's expression floated with a little smile: "What else did he say?" ”
"I said a lot, all of them were some nice words, and repeatedly expressed my loyalty to Datang, and when it came to emotion, I even cried and wailed, and bowed to the ground in the direction of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty......"
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "A drunken person speaks so soberly, every sentence is good, and the sense of ritual is so touching, do you believe it?" ”
The spy was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "The villain only inquires about the news, and does not dare to discuss the military and politics." ”
"It's okay, just when I talk to myself, you don't have to answer," Li Qinzai's smile became more playful.
"The land has been occupied, the army has been crippled, the power has been hollowed out, the subjects have disobeyed him, and even he himself has been under house arrest in the palace for many years, and he can't even get out of the palace gate......"
"It stands to reason that we should be his enemies who destroy the country, eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, but he is grateful to the enemy of destroying the country, and he is more obedient than his own grandson."
"Although the Japanese people are originally a national characteristic of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, his performance is too outrageous."
The spy said puzzledly: "Li Shuai means ......"
Li Qinzai sighed with a smile: "The play, it's been acted." If he hadn't done some kind of thanksgiving and worshipping in the face of Chang'an, maybe I really didn't think about it, but when he did this, I don't doubt that I couldn't say it. ”
Liu Asi's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Fifth Shaolang, Wang Fangyi sent a messenger to report on the military situation ahead." ”
Li Qinzai frowned: "Let him in." ”
The messenger hurriedly entered, saluted, and said: "Li Shuai, according to Li Shuai's military order, Vice General Wang led the army from north to south to clear out local forces, and destroyed more than 5,000 enemies in three days. ”
"But several forces in the north have formed an alliance, and Vice General Wang intends to launch a surprise attack on this alliance before dawn tomorrow, and if nothing else, it can be completely annihilated."
Li Qinzai was silent for a moment and said, "Has this alliance force been stationed in the north all along?" ”
"No, they were formed by a temporary combination of troops, looking at their marching tracks, it seems that they are planning to come towards Asuka City, but they are burning and looting all the way, obviously not to surrender to the Wa King, but to attack Asuka City......"
Li Qinzai nodded slowly, pondered for a long time, and then said: "I ordered Wang Fangyi's headquarters to launch a surprise attack on this alliance before dawn, but it was only allowed to feint, and finally pretended to be outnumbered, and led the army to retreat fifty miles......
The messenger exclaimed, "W-why?" ”
Li Qinzai smiled slightly: "Let this alliance army reach Flying Bird City smoothly." ”
The messenger couldn't help but say: "Li Shuai, we only have more than 3,000 soldiers stationed in Flying Bird City, and although this alliance army is a rabble, there are more than 20,000 people, I'm afraid it ......."
Li Qinzai said in a firm tone: "No, let them come, give the order to go." ”
The messenger had no choice but to salute with his fists and leave in a hurry.
In the handsome tent, the spies of the Hundred Cavalry Division were still standing in front of Li Qinzai, waiting for orders.
Li Qinzai said lightly: "Let the eyeliner in the palace closely monitor the every move of the lord, he went in and out a few times at night when he pampered his concubine, and he checked it out for me after a few trembling times." ”
The spy saluted awe-inspiring and left.
Li Qinzai was the only one left in the handsome tent, sitting cross-legged at the low table, looking at the military reports on the table, and couldn't help muttering: "Brother Zhong, I hope you don't die, otherwise Xiao Baga won't want to sleep with me in this life, I am the man she will never be able to sleep with." ”
…………
On the third day, a horrific news reached Asuka City.
The invincible Tang army actually lost the battle in the northern part of the Wa Kingdom.
Wang Fangyi's headquarters raided an alliance force with more than 20,000 people at dawn, but was outnumbered and had to retreat with his army.
This news greatly boosted the morale of the Japanese people, who had been desperate for the fall of the country, after hearing the news, their spirit suddenly came up, not only up, but also up.
Since Li Qinzai led 6,000 Tang troops to land in the Wa Kingdom many years ago, the Wa Kingdom has been defeated and retreated, and has never bargained on the battlefield.
However, this time, a Tang army of 7,000 soldiers and horses was inexplicably defeated, and I have to say that this is great good news for the Japanese country.
