Chapter 423: Broken Thief
Inugami Ota Shovel is on a five-tooth ship, and with his condescending advantage, he clearly sees everything on the shore.
The Tang army was no more than 1,000 people, and among the more than 1,000 people, the cavalry was no more than 400.
But just this is just the momentum of more than a thousand people galloping, but it seems to be able to destroy Fuyue Mountain.
Inugami Yutian shovel lingered in the prosperity of Tang Chang'an, intoxicated by the prestige of those soldiers who could serve as chiefs and prisoners, and immersed in the arrogance of being slaves and not daring to be angry.
But at this moment, seeing that the more than 1,000 red-clothed Tang troops were burning towards the birds like a Buddhist fire, this trend of burning the prairie made the Inugami Yutian shovel tremble, and he understood from the bottom of his heart why he wanted to enter the Tang Dynasty and take Chang'an as his hometown.
The little mustard in my heart seemed to be cut away with a knife, and suddenly disappeared and was never seen again.
In a hurry, the dog didn't even have time to ask to get off the boat, so he simply turned over and jumped down directly by relying on the water, which surprised Liu Renliang, who was watching Li Shiyun leave on the shore.
After sending someone to pick up the envoy, he heard the man shouting there:
"General Liu, although your subordinates offer a bird picture for the country, the picture shown in the map is not allowed after all."
"Your Majesty, please lead the way for the Lord! Your Majesty knows the nobles of the Su My Clan! Your Majesty is willing to make meritorious contributions! ”
There is no horse on the dog and the spade, and Li Shiyun naturally can't hear these heartfelt words.
When he was on the ship, he had already studied the bird according to the pictures of the Japanese people and his own soldiers.
Or because of the deep residence in the Wajima, and because of the geographical advantages, and the flat terrain of this Wajima is extremely precious, there are no troublesome things such as the city wall and the dock fort here.
The king of the Wa kingdom and the nobles of each family lived according to the location of the land they occupied, and the exiled slaves lived around the nobles, and eventually these settlements surrounded by the names and surnames of the nobles formed the entire Asuka.
And the flat fields that were connected together also provided the greatest convenience for the Tang Army scouts to ride horses.
There was no need for special orders, the commander of the scouts had already led his light horsemen to search in the direction agreed in advance.
Li Shiyun slowly drove the war horse and the main formation, and marched towards the south of the bird without hurrying.
According to the information provided by the Japanese envoys, the Soga clan is now highly revered here, and the land south of Asuka is the most fertile and flat, and there are two rivers irrigated by it, which is extremely rich, and it is the private land of the Soga clan.
He saw living creatures that could hardly be called "people" in Datang, with some things like leaves or hay tied up hanging on their bodies, as if they were to keep out the cold.
Unkempt and small, each with rudimentary pieces of wood or hands, they are still trying their best to dig the soil in the fields in December, as if they want to find something to eat.
Seeing the Tang army rolling over, they just stopped what they were doing, looked up one by one in a daze, and stared at each other with the marching Tang army without saying a word.
On the way, there were occasionally some Japanese who were different from these slaves, and when they saw Tang Jun, they either stopped in front with shouting and whining words, or fled without saying a word.
Those who blocked the road were all shot, and Li Shiyun, who escaped, didn't care, but just ordered:
"Slow down."
Riding on a tall horse, Li Shiyun took out a thousand-step mirror from his chest and looked into the distance more clearly.
He saw that those slave-like widows had fled into a magnificent village in the distance, and then the village began to boil, and people kept coming in and out, all pointing and pointing towards him.
Continuing to move forward, the scouts who had previously dispersed like milk swallows in the forest returned to the team one after another like tired birds returning to their nests, and they also supplemented the simple map in Li Shixian's hand more and more completely.
When the last scout returned, the private soldiers gathered by the Su I clan could be said to be close at hand.
At this time, Li Shiyun felt that the previous envoy did not seem to be exaggerating, after all, more than 10,000 people had gathered in front of him alone, and according to the scout's return, there were at least three such giant villages behind.
Even if the height is less than that of the Tang Army, the weapons are not as good as the Tang Army, and the armor can be said to be non-existent, but the gathering of more than 10,000 people is also boundless, which makes the Japanese people in it unprecedentedly confident.
A man who seemed to be the leader rode out on a short pony, and when it was clear that the man was short and the horse was short, some words spoke of a feeling of arrogance.
Li Shiyun didn't understand, but he could clearly see that the people behind the general began to cheer one after another, as if they were like angry waves, and they had a faint sense of horror.
But the Tang army didn't eat this at all, as a veteran who had experienced the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and many soldiers had the experience of fighting for their lives with the night attack on Dingxiang and the Turks, so their faces were filled with undisguised contempt.
Fortunately, they finally waited for the order of their own general.
"Noise!" Li Shiyun's expression was like ice, the difference in language and the other party's attitude of not knowing life or death made him completely lose interest in verbal communication with the other party, and only a nameless fire rose in his heart.
The war horse stopped, and Li Shiyun raised the long lance in his hand and pressed down with his front finger, giving a signal to attack.
However, a team of more than 1,000 people did not need to be ordered by the generals, and Tang Junjian'er took advantage of the situation to inform the other party with crossbow arrows that the war had begun in the way he was most familiar with.
More than 600 infantry troops raised their crossbows in three columns, the front end was slightly raised, and they were pressed against the boundless crowd on the opposite side.
No one on the battlefield would be interested in seeing if their crossbow arrows were meritorious, and after the first crossbow was fired, they would crouch down and rewind it so that the crossbowmen behind them could continue to splash the crossbow arrows, and then crouch down to wind up the third column to let the third column hand it, and so on.
The crossbow arrows shot by more than 600 people suddenly made the Japanese army fall a small piece, but this was almost invisible to the team of more than 10,000 people, and the Japanese generals at the forefront had already retreated when they saw that the situation was not good, and they were also urging the order when they hid in the formation, but it was not until the Tang army in the first column had put on the crossbow for the fourth time that they saw the Japanese people on the opposite side pushing and rushing over, and they were still shouting unknown words hoarsely.
But these were completely useless to the Tang army, even though the Japanese were only a hundred steps away from the first column, they still methodically wound, endured the crossbow, got up, and shot out.
It wasn't until the Japanese approached more than forty paces that the first column, which had been observing the battlefield with cold eyes, shouted a short order:
"Abandon the crossbow!"
"Abandon the crossbow!"
This order was passed down from one soldier to another, but for a time it tore apart the hearts of the people at the front, and made them hesitate for a moment.
The horseback general in the rear, who "stood out from the crowd", could see clearly that the precious instruments that had ruthlessly harvested his private slaves before were ruthlessly thrown at his feet by these people, which suddenly made him extremely distressed, and he didn't care about shouting directly in Japanese language on the battlefield at this time:
"Pick up that artifact and don't crush it!"
The people who grew up here had no concept of war, and the slave immediately passed on this order, which caused even more chaos in the front.
But the Tang army didn't care about this, and the abandonment of the crossbow could only be regarded as half an order, in fact, all the Tang troops reached out and held the handle of the knife that was inserted in front of them before the battle after abandoning the crossbow.
It was only at this time that the second half of the military order came through the mouth of the robe:
"Horizontal knife!"
"Horizontal knife!"
The horizontal knife came out of the sheath, and six hundred snow streams bloomed on the land of the Asuka Mansion, like a white bird fluttering its wings and flying, and like white snow rising from the flat ground to bloom with brilliance.
The snowy sword light lit up in the red Tang costume military array, and for a while there was a bewitching and fatal beauty.
The general in the distance was stunned, he never thought that the sharp blade could cut through the muscles and bones so smoothly, and almost instinctively continued to shout in the Japanese language:
"Take a knife and offer it!"
But what he didn't notice was that the morale of the vanguard Japanese soldiers who were pointed at by these horizontal blades had collapsed.
The difference in weapons, the difference in armor, the disadvantage in height, and the playful order made the Japanese army engaged with the Tang army only use their own bodies to meet the blade of this unknown enemy.
The front wants to go back, and the back wants to push forward.
Those who are brave look back in a hurry, and those who are hungry for profit strive to move forward.
The waves rolled back and slapped each other with the rear, but this could not stop the Tang army, which was dancing like a forest, from advancing like a wall.
The sound of the iron horseshoe on the ground is a bit muffled, and occasionally the stone will make a nice symphony.
There is no need to arrange any tactics in detail, seeing that the infantry armies of the two sides are strangled together, Li Shiyun also followed his instinct and began to destroy the cavalry with a light grip on the horse's belly.
Compared with the usual battles, this long lance has to be pressed down a little more at this time, which makes Li Shiyun extremely unaccustomed, and the speed of the war horse galloping also makes him have no time to adjust this discomfort.
In Li Shiyun's eyes, the enemy's front army was now in a situation where the front army was reversed, and there was no need to even pick it up, and the cavalry army crashed straight into one of the weak points in the enemy's rear.
Just one rush, the rear army of the Japanese people also had the tendency to collapse and roll upside down.
After all, not to mention cavalry, even the concept of horses is very unfamiliar to them.
There are no horses in the land, and Baekje helps each other.
It was only after the Soga clan had linked up with the Baekje kingdom decades ago that dozens of ponies were brought in from Baekje at various costs, and these unseen mounts quickly became a symbol of the Soga clan's self-proclaimed noble surname.
And now this group of strange enemies are riding the tall horses, shattering the cognitive attack that the Japanese people have established before.
If horseback riders are honored, then aren't these men of God indescribably precious?
Especially when he saw the giant horse men riding with his own eyes on these god leaders, he stood up and directly trampled the nobles of the Su I clan with his front foot, and the morale of the Japanese army fell directly to the bottom.
It's just that after the morale completely collapsed, these people did not run away, but knelt down on the spot and exposed their necks, without saying a word, as if they were waiting to be killed.
And this gesture quickly spread to the whole audience, making the cavalry infantry who had just come to feel some hands look at each other.
Li Shiyun only felt that the nameless fire in his heart was even stronger, and with a fierce snort, Li Shiyun turned his head and ordered:
"Get out of the army, go back and find that dog or that monk of the Japanese country."
The soldiers were ordered, turned their horses, and led their men to gallop back in the direction of the shore.
Li Shiyun, who had not yet dismounted, was more urgent:
"This is one, there are three thieves to the south, clean up the ordnance and continue to move forward!"
The crossbow machines that had been discarded before had to be recycled, and the scabbards that had not been drawn on the ground were also re-incorporated into the horizontal knives and taken away, and then the Tang army did not look at the enemy who was waiting to be killed, and talked and laughed with each other and went south again.
The cavalry rushing to the shore saw from a distance that two huge ships had left the shore and temporarily stopped in the middle of the inland sea, as if they were trying to deter the surrounding area.
Fortunately, the envoy that the general was looking for was also on the shore, which saved a lot of trouble.
In the face of the conscription of the Tang Army, Inugami Yutian Shovel did not have any reluctance at all, and it could almost be said that he happily climbed on the horse.
Li Shixian's pro-army did not talk nonsense, and returned again along the road they came.
Under the intentional inquiry of Inugami Mitasho, the achievements of the Tang Army were also told by several knights.
There are no surprises, and there is even a sense of taking it for granted on the dog:
"The heroes of the kingdom are all brave and champion of the three armies."
This was very useful to several knights.
Then a young knight spoke out of his worries:
"Captain Wu, I'll wait for this time and return, the general won't wait for me, right?"
Wu Chang immediately reprimanded:
"How can you say that in the event of a battlefield of life?"
"Wu Chang, don't laugh, you can pick up the victory on this battlefield as long as you bend down."
This statement drew the echo of several other knights:
"Yes, I've never fought such an easy battle."
"I'm embarrassed to go back and boast."
In the end, it was Wu Chang who said perfunctorily: "The envoy is here, don't say these words in front of anyone." ”
As a result, I didn't expect to lead to Inugami Mita's spade disagreeing:
"General, if you lead the neck and kill you, you can win the favor of the country, and the people of that generation are all meritorious people."
Wu Chang raised his eyebrows and felt that he had nothing to say, but the war horse was urging more urgently.
The group headed south and saw one after another broken giant villages, as well as groups of private soldiers kneeling on the ground.
It wasn't until I chased the third one that I saw Li Shiyun, who was supervising the cleaning of the battlefield.
The inougami Okita shovel was reversed all the way, and he was about to think about it slowly, and then he said some sincere and beautiful words to this Lai Guogong, but before he could catch his breath, he heard that this Guogong had assigned him an errand:
"The scenery here is acceptable, and I don't want to move elsewhere."
"Go yourself, or let the mission send to tell the king that your kingdom is here to come and thank him."
The words of the lord of a country are quite natural, and Inugami Mita Shovel also feels that it should be:
"The body of the prince is golden, and it is suitable to recuperate and calm down here."
"The king has always known the general situation, and if he knows that the private soldiers of the Su clan will be removed, he should be overjoyed."
After the order, Li Shiyun looked at the scenery he had never seen at all and looked at it with interest.
This time he swept the south side of the Asuka Mansion, and the Su I clan naturally didn't get rid of it, but Li Shiyun didn't care too much.
After all, Liu Renliang made it clear that the goal of this trip was to get rid of the influence of the Japanese state on the Korean Peninsula and completely lock it up on the Japanese island, so that the imperial court could run Liaodong.
Helping the Wa King clear the obstacles to power was never in the plan of the two.
"Oh yes, remember to tell the king that this time the thieves and sons have all fought bloody battles, and there are many injuries."
The implication of the words is very clear, and Inugami Mitian Shovel also turned a blind eye to the Tang Jun who was talking and laughing loudly next to him and boasting that he was unharmed, and bowed down and said:
"That's how it should be."
