Chapter 299: It is advisable to chase after the poor

According to the report of the soldiers of the fleeing Japanese army, there were several strong generals in the Tang army, and they led a large group of Tang cavalry to cut into the army formation from the flank.

These martial arts are extraordinary, and they led those brave Tang cavalry to cut into the Japanese army formation from the flank.

Subsequently, those Tang army foot soldiers equipped with heavy armor and holding halberds responded to these cavalry charges, and also suddenly killed from the rear of the Tang army's military formation, and caught the Japanese army in front by surprise.

Although there were samurai in the Japanese army, it was difficult to defeat the four hands with two fists, and the Japanese army was still defeated and retreated.

The news from Bolingdu made Ping Changzheng's face more and more gloomy, and the foot who returned from fleeing said lightly that there was a Tang army general who held a horse lance and wore a basin collar armor and led the cavalry of the Tang army to easily break through the right formation of the Japanese army.

In the end, what led to the complete defeat of the Japanese army was because the commander of the Tang army, Wang Rong, personally led the armored cavalry to charge into battle.

Saito Nobubo was killed by the iron hooves of the Tang cavalry, and the chain reaction caused by Fujiwara Yoshibo's death completely collapsed the Japanese army.

More than 6,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, Saito Nobubo and Fujiwara Yoshibo were killed in battle, and the generals and colonels at all levels in the Japanese army were also quite heavy casualties, all of which weighed on Hei Nagamasa's shoulders like a mountain.

The armored cavalry of the Tang army, Ping Changzheng had an understanding before the offensive, when the general Li Mubai of the Ji State died in the Battle of Pingcheng, and Zhao Luqi, the general of the Ji State, had a detailed understanding of the Battle of Pingcheng.

The imperial court of the Ji State also listed the reasons for the defeat in the Battle of Pingcheng, and these things, after the Japanese army defeated the general Zhao Luqi of the Ji State Expedition, obtained and circulated once, one of which is to describe in detail the personal guard armored cavalry trained by Wang Rong.

The Kai cavalry brought by Ping Changzheng this time, among which there are more than 300 cavalry, is also equipped with heavy cavalry.

It's just that the Kai cavalry is precious, and Fujiwara Yoshibo did not let Taira Nagamasa put it into the attack sequence, but only sent the Mikawa light cavalry to guard the two wings of the ferry.

But those light cavalry did not play the role of guard, on the contrary, they were easily driven out by the cavalry of the Tang Army.

Those cavalrymen all said that the generals of the Tang army were extremely brave and difficult to match.

Ping Changzheng frowned slightly, the combat power of the Tang army was obviously several points stronger than in the Battle of Pingcheng, and the shortcomings of the original cavalry seemed to have been greatly strengthened.

Those Tang Army cavalry generals who seemed to appear out of thin air gave Ping Changzheng some bad premonitions.

After the entire Japanese army counted the number of people, there were only more than 6,000 people left, and more than 20,000 other soldiers remained.

The Battle of Hengshui ended in the defeat of the Japanese army, and the camp of the Japanese army was filled with a suffocating dullness, and the bustle and noise of a few days ago were no longer there.

In the camp of the Japanese army on the east bank of Hengshui, in the big tent of the Chinese army where Ping Changzheng was located, there was no noisy human voice, only the crackling sound of charcoal burning in the charcoal brazier. c

Ping Changzheng sat at the desk without saying a word, looking at the burning charcoal in the charcoal brazier with an expressionless face.

The defeat in the Battle of Hengshui made Ping Changzheng uneasy, although on the front line of Hengshui, there were many places where the river could be crossed, and the Tang army had few soldiers, so it was feasible to divide the troops to cross the river from the rest of the places.

However, Tang Jun's new victory was like a rainbow at this time, and now the strength of Tang Jun is far stronger than the strength that Ping Changzheng knew before.

To defeat the Tang army led by Wang Rong seems to be far more difficult than Ping Changzheng imagined.

Ping Changzheng's follow-up actions were indeed calculated by the Military Division.

The Japanese army, which had suffered a devastating blow, really stopped continuing its march, and because of Fujiwara Yoshibo's death, Hira Nagamasa automatically changed from a deputy position to a full-time position and became the commander of the Japanese army. The loss of troops in the First Battle of Hengshui made the morale of the Japanese army low, and the morale of the army was seriously affected.

The Battle of Hengsui also affected the major families of the Wa Kingdom, with Saito Nobubo and Fujiwara Yoshibo, as well as a large number of Fujiwara, Saito and other families dying in Haruindu.

In the first battle of Bolingdu, most of them were real Japanese soldiers composed of private soldiers of the Japanese family, and most of them were lost, if the news was transmitted back to the Japanese country, it would be enough to make this

Some of the Japanese people felt a pain in their flesh.

Ping Changzheng also knew that if he wanted to instruct these family private soldiers, he was afraid that it would be a hundred times more difficult.

The defeat of the Battle of Hengshui made these families no longer fight hard, but chose to fight against the yang and the yin, and in this case, the combat power went to more than three or four thousand. The only force that he could command was the 2,000 shogunate guards given to him by the Fujiwara clan, and the rest of the army was even more difficult to command.

Tang Dynasty AD, May 14.

The Japanese army, which had been silent for nearly a month, finally made a move.

After a long debate, Taira Nagamasa subdued Shibasaki Keiyuki and other representatives of the Wa clan, and then led a group of soldiers and horses south. The army, led by Shibasaki Keiyuki, led by the family's private soldiers, walked in front, while Taira Nagamasa led 2,000 shogunate guards in the middle, and more than 10,000 other soldiers followed as the rear army.

Ping Changzheng planned to march to the Hejian County Governor's Office.

At the beginning of the establishment of Lecheng, it was named Lechengyi, which belonged to Jizhou in the Zhou Dynasty. However, at that time, the euphora was not an administrative establishment, but a mining eup.

From the Warring States period to Qin, the transformation from slavery to feudalism was implemented, and the feudal system of splitting the soil and sealing the king was changed to the county system.

Starting from the Qin Dynasty, there were 36 counties, and Lechengyi belonged to Julu County. Later, Lecheng County, Julu County was placed in Hejian County, Lecheng belonged to Hejian County, and the county was governed in Lecheng.

Lecheng is located in the south of the main stream of the Xutuo River, is one of the upstream tributaries of the Ziya River of the Haihe River system, with a total length of more than 1,200 miles and a basin area of 30,000 square kilometers.

After hearing the approximate size of the Japanese army on the east bank, Wang Rong left the Zhongshan County soldiers and handed them over to the new Zhongshan County Warden Zhang Xu.

As a war hero in the Tang Army, Zhang Xu was seriously wounded, he entered the Wubei Academy, and after successfully graduating, he first served as a county lieutenant in Shangdang County, and then served as a county soldier Sima in Yanmen County, and was finally selected as the county guard of Zhongshan.

Wang Rong took the replenished Guards Division and the Seventh Division, rushed through Hengshui, passed by the Japanese army camp, Wang Rong looked at the layout in the Japanese army camp, and said to Li Sujie on the side: "The camp layout of the Japanese army does have its own set, trenches, tripping horses, and rejecting horses, everything."

Li Sujie nodded and said, "Even so, we won, and they took the initiative to withdraw their troops."

Wang Rong disagreed with Li Sujie's view, and said to Song Wenbai and other Tang army generals: "It is advisable to chase after the poor and brave the remnants, we have not yet held the victory in our hands, and the Japanese army in the Central Plains is not only this one, not to mention this army, we have not been able to completely wipe out this army."

Zhang Yunshu suggested: "Marshal, the Military Affairs Department suggests sending cavalry day and night to rush to the front of the Japanese army and intercept the main force of the Japanese army under the command of Ping Changzheng."
