Chapter 968: Near-Worry
On the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, although part of the Japanese army collapsed, the Japanese army on the left and right flanks still maintained a formation, but the collapse of the Chinese army caused the two wings to be cut off from the middle.
"The heavy armor of the former army changed the formation of Shuanglong out of the water, attacking the two wings of the Japanese army, the clouded leopard army, and the blade army attacked!" Seeing that the Chinese army of the Japanese army was defeated and retreated to Yangzhou City, Sun Wu issued an order again.
At this moment, although the battlefield is a mess, there are still soldiers and horses on the left and right wings, and the Chinese army, the heavy armor is crushing all the way to attack, but on the whole, the large formation of the six forbidden armies is not scattered, such as the heavy armored shield soldiers of the Chinese army, although it is a forward assault, but it still maintains the shield wall, and does not cause the shield array to fall apart because of the forward rush.
And the clouded leopard that has been following behind the Thor Army, the two armies of the blade have been playing soy sauce, and with Sun Wu's order, the lieutenant general of the Thor Army heard the sudden change of war drums, and immediately understood the meaning of the top, and the heavy armored soldiers who had been pushed forward were divided left and right, and suddenly turned into a hideous dragon from the steel fortress, and the heavy spearmen formed two dragon heads, and the heavy shields were like scales to protect the left and right, and they rushed directly to the left and right flanks of the Japanese army.
And the two light armies that were suffocated behind the moving steel fortress, Lin Chong of the clouded leopard army and Le Jin of the blade army were overjoyed, and it was finally their turn to play, the two armies heard the sound of drums, and immediately shouted loudly, the beast cavalry was the arrow, the sword and shield hands were distributed left and right, the spearmen were in the center, and the archers were behind.
The advantage of the heavy armored army is that it is heavy shield and heavy armor, and it marches like an armored tank, tens of thousands of people are united in one group, which is a small steel fortress, and in the face of such a heavy armored army, it is possible to cause damage to it unless large engineering equipment is used.
Melee fighting, even if it is a sharp sword, can not split a finger thick armor, you must know that although the Japanese are sharp, but it is a narrow-bladed long knife, it is estimated that a few slashes, the sound of the knife will break, as for the spear to stab, the spear of the heavy spearman is two feet three feet long, and the spear of the Japanese army is only a zhangxu, the two are compared, and the judgment is made.
As for the archers, even if the arrows rain down and fall in the heavy armor army, it will not cause many casualties, so the heavy armor army is almost a piece of incomparably hard steel, if you want to gnaw it, you have to break your teeth, but although the defense of the heavy armor army is amazing, it is not without weaknesses, that is, speed, with a heavy armor on the body, the speed can't be fast if you want to.
But the light armor army is different, a large number of leather armor, light and thin iron armor of the light armor army has superior mobility, it can be said that the five heavy and five light in the forbidden army are coordinated with each other, although one is the elite at random, but when used together, it can play a greater effect.
From the crane wing array, to the arrow array, and then the formation of Shuanglong out of the water, the rear army assault, in the change of formation, each army is playing its own role, 60,000 forbidden troops, three years of training, only today this drum change formation, advance and retreat based on the situation.
And with this series of battlefield changes, the elite of the forbidden army can be regarded as having passed the test of actual combat, and after this battle, the Great Chu Forbidden Army should be worthy of the name of the elite of the strong army.
The Chinese army of the Japanese army is completely finished, and was injured by Li Yuanba's move, and before he could recover from it, he was severely hammered by the big stick of the heavy armor army, which was even a smash of the bones, and the soldiers had no will to fight, and Sun Wu's command was like waves, wave after wave, without any gap.
Don't give Inoue Shunji a chance at all, when the clouded leopard, the blade of the two armies quickly interspersed, pursuit, like a sheep chasing the Japanese army rout, Inoue Shunji's Chinese army has no possibility of turning over, originally Inoue Shunji's Chinese army is the strongest, with a full 20,000 people, and also has some onmyoji, but a wave of heavy arrows plus the spirit arrow flying feathers that continue to fly down later, the killer weapon laid down almost did not come in handy.
It can be said that this battle is the most nestish battle of Inoue Shunji, the Chinese army was defeated, and the two wings of the Japanese army naturally could not defend alone, the retreating wolf army and the snow leopard army converged the rear army, and launched a fierce attack again, and the flank, the separated heavy armor army was fiercely inserted from the flank, although the strength of the two sides was not much different, but the situation on the battlefield has been tilted to the side of the Chu army.
In particular, the collapse of the Chinese army has dealt a big blow to the morale of the Japanese army on both wings, and the generals on both wings of the Japanese army are in a dilemma at the moment.
When, the sword slashed fiercely on He Buwei's side back, drawing a spark, the sharp sword only left a white mark on the armor, but it was unable to split the defense of this armor, why not wave the heavy shield in his hand for the backhand, for the heavy shield soldier, the heavy shield in his hand is actually a weapon.
The shield weighing 100 catties was waved but sassy, Peng, and the side of the shield smashed the Japanese soldiers who attacked him from behind, although the Japanese soldiers were also wearing iron armor, but in the face of this powerful impact, the ribs in the chest on the spot made a clicking and breaking sound, poof, a mouthful of blood splattered out, and a big pit collapsed in the chest, flying seven or eight steps away, before falling.
Whew, snort, why not gasp for breath, the heavy armor of the whole body is a big burden for him, although after two or three years of adaptation, but in the fierce battle, the consumption is still not ordinarily large.
Glancing around, their heavy shield soldiers were like an arrow piercing into the formation of the Japanese army, in front, there were red-eyed Japanese soldiers on the left and right sides of the army, although these dwarfs were knocked down one piece, but they were still one after the other, and it would not last long if it went on like this.
Why not take a long breath for the long breath, and hold a long handle on the heavy shield with both hands, it looks like a sign, like thunder and lightning, but in fact this long handle is the handle of the knife.
The heavy shield itself is actually a scabbard, and there is a straight knife inserted in this heavy shield, the blade is four feet long, the back of the knife is not bent, and the large straight knife is considered to be the standard equipment of the heavy shield soldiers.
Why don't you pull out the hidden knife in the shield with a stumbling sound, the blade of the straight knife flashed a cold light, the four-foot blade, swung up, flashed an arc of light, when, dang, three crashes in a row, but the straight knife and the three chopped knives were clashed together.
This kind of straight knife weighs thirty catties, although it is not as powerful as the heavy shield wielded, but it is still a heavy soldier for the Japanese knife that weighs only six or seven kilograms, and it is obviously a little surprised by the three Japanese people, and the tiger's mouth trembled, and the Japanese knife in his hand was actually sent flying.
The Japanese soldiers have not yet reacted, and the straight knife that swept out has returned again, poof, arms, and heads are suddenly separated from the body, why not glance at the fallen corpse that is still spraying blood, look at the Japanese soldiers not far away, and stride forward.
Compared with the hundred-pound heavy shield, the thirty-pound straight knife is obviously lightweight, and it is much easier to wield, and it is more efficient to kill people, and many heavy shield soldiers who can't keep up with their strength have thrown away the heavy shield, replaced it with a straight knife, and relied on a strong armor to kill in the Japanese army.
The heavy armor army continued to break into the formation, and the front had to bear the number of Chu troops that were not inferior to the number of the formation, and the two wings of the Japanese army could be described as quite difficult, and at this moment, the blade army that killed the Chinese army, the clouded leopard army gave up the Japanese army that flocked to the city of Yangzhou after completely devouring a large number of Chinese army routs, but turned around and rushed to the left and right wings.
Cut off the retreat of the two wings of the Japanese army to Yangzhou, when the generals of the two wings of the Japanese army heard the news, they immediately panicked, if they were cut off from the back road, it was not impossible for the whole army to be annihilated.
"Retreat! Retreat towards the lake. "At this time, it is no longer the time to hesitate, the back road is cut off, and you may be besieged on the outskirts of the city at any time, and the final outcome is self-evident.
At this time, the blade army is coming from the direction of Yangzhou City, and at this time it is still retreating towards Yangzhou City, and it is going to fight to the end with the other party, and once it cannot break through, it will be entangled, and to the side of the lake, this direction is their only way to survive, as long as they reach the shelter range of the sea ship, they can save most of the people.
Compared with the right wing of the Japanese army, there is a way to retreat, the left wing can be sad, if you run to the east, but it is getting farther and farther away from Yangzhou City, and in the field, they only have two legs, where can they run past those swift leopard horses, so their way of life, there is only one, that is, to retreat in the direction of Yangzhou City, even if the Chu army has come up behind, but they seem to have no better choice.
The two armies made different choices, but they could not change the outcome of the war, the main force of the Japanese army was completely planted outside Yangzhou City this time, compared to the Great Chu, who could replenish the troops at any time, the Japanese army came from the Dongyi expedition thousands of miles away, and the soldiers and horses were one less dead.
In the face of this defeat, the Japanese people did not do much in Yangzhou, and they had to weigh and weigh if they wanted to go deep into the interior to burn and loot.
Leng Zhuo watched the right flank of the Japanese army retreat towards the shore of the lake, and suddenly couldn't help frowning, although the Japanese army was defeated under the city of Yangzhou, but the Japanese army ships were still there, which was a threat that could exist at any time for Yangzhou.
Da Chu now controls two states, counting the southern part of Qingzhou controlled by Bai Qi, that is, two and a half, these two and a half states are all dependent on the Tianhe River, and have a vast coast, if the Japanese army started a guerrilla attack, using these sea ships along the coast, the Tianhe waterway is criss-crossed, Leng Zhuo can't prevent it if he wants to.
And Leng Zhuo was even more worried, that is, the Japanese army continued to advance west along the Tianhe River, in case these Japanese people hooked up with Li Tang, it would definitely be a nightmare for Leng Zhuo.
Li Tang because of congenital deficiencies, although the army is strong, but the navy is weak, although every effort is made to train the navy, but Leng Zhuo is firmly in control of the water power of the Tianhe, Li Tang's navy can not support the climate at all, and the number of shipbuilding, Da Chu is far more than Li Tang, after all, Zhongzhou lacks shipbuilding giant trees, and it has not been a place where shipbuilding has flourished since ancient times, while Chu and Yang are different.
However, the Japanese navy has obviously posed a huge threat to the Great Chu Naval Army, which is not that Leng Zhuo is worried, but the continuous understanding of the Japanese people these days, Leng Zhuo thinks, you must know that many of the Japanese people are the Tang Dynasty people who crossed east in the late Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and the influence of the Tang Dynasty on the Japanese people is still very far-reaching, once the two are connected, it is likely to reach an agreement.
This Japanese army can't let go no matter what!" Leng Zhuo thought through gritted teeth.
