Chapter 489 The attack is like fire

On June 19, the drizzle continued to fall in the early morning.

In the woods and mountains, the sun shines and the water mist rises.

To the southeast of Unguni Island, the first outpost about ten miles off the coast stands beside a rugged dirt road leading to Heiankyo.

The Japanese soldiers yawned and walked in and out of the camp.

In addition, there are occasional Japanese people on the road carrying baskets, passing by the roadside, going to the nearby forests to pick wild vegetables, or pick medicinal herbs, but more people, at this time, were recruited by the outpost to help haul and transport grain, everywhere, everywhere official roads, almost can see the short and thin figure carrying grain and dried fish.

If the soldiers who are monitoring these people find that someone is lazy or secretly hiding food, once they are caught, whether they are men or women, old or young, they will be severely beaten.

Sometimes, people are beaten to death because they can't hold their hands.

After all, now that the island of Shikoku has been captured, this side adopts the strategy of clearing the wilderness, everything that can be eaten must be collected in Heiankyo, and the people of the village, only strong men and women can enter, as for the old and weak, they will stay in the village to fend for themselves.

In just a few days, about 70% of the grain and grass collected have been collected.

It was enough for the 30,000 soldiers in Heiankyo to eat and drink for a month, but for the sake of insurance, Takeda Shingen almost looted all the land under his jurisdiction.

The conscripted Japanese people did not have friction with the army because of coercion or confiscation of food, and there was nothing bleak or tragic, but they were extremely fanatical, even if they were hungry, they were willing to help pick up and deliver things.

After all, to help the daimyo is to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Gomon, and even if they starve to death, they feel honored.

On this day, it rained for two or three days, and this southeast outpost near the sea, as it had done in the previous two days, mobilized the Japanese people, supervised the Japanese people, and at the same time supervised the collection of grain, Yamakawa Kamezaburo was the light foot here, a total of forty people, because it was close to the coastline, the number of ashigaru reached forty people, which can be regarded as a medium-sized garrison point.

Due to the scarcity of resources on the island, only the ashigaru had a decent armor, but it was also extremely simple, with a carcass (body armor) made of bamboo or wood chips, a grass orizuri (skirt), and a jinkasa (battle helmet) to form a simple body, and it was temporarily loaned to them by the daimyo for use.

The rest of the ashigaru is even simpler, a linen shirt and hemp pants, linen short-sleeved, hemp pants only reach the knees, and most of the bamboo guns in his hands are made of bamboo sharpening.

However, among the forty people, there were five light foot archers, and there was no adulteration in the longbows in their hands, but these archers were regular soldiers and horses of Heiankyo, and they were organized, which was completely different from the ashigaru recruited by farmers.

On this drizzly morning, the five light-footed archers did not leave the sentry camp, after all, the rain was a rare holiday for them.

The rain will wet the bow and loosen the bowstring.

And the mountains and rivers Kamezaburo drove the thirty-five light feet under his command to hurry up and let the hundreds of Japanese people in this place hurry up and pass through.

In the morning sun mixed with the drizzly sky, all kinds of Chinese language made the sound of abuse, teasing, and yelling, and then mixed together, giving people the illusion of being in full swing.

Kamezaburo Yamakawa, with a small flag behind him, holding a bamboo gun with a spear head and a knife at his waist, had just returned from patrolling the road ahead with two soldiers majestically.

This is the routine inspection and patrol he has to do every day when he is stationed here, and the rest of his command, bareheaded, in the drizzle, shouts at the people who pass by, and from time to time kicks out behind the ass of the slow-walking man.

Occasionally, when I saw that there were some outstanding people among these people, I would inevitably step forward to make a fuss, and if the other party was interested, he could put down the grain and hand it over to others, and then he and these soldiers went to the nearby forest to fight.

Servitude is free today.

Yamakawa Kamezaburo saw a few light feet flirting with a Japanese woman, scolded them from afar, dispersed them, and then asked the soldiers next to him to come forward and bring the woman over, and returned to the sentry camp with him.

On his way back to the outpost with the little woman twisted, hundreds of iron hooves tossed across the ground five miles south of the outpost, splashing the water in the potholes.

An iron cavalry of 2,000 men, holding a large sword, ran quickly, and in a few breaths, it was already less than four miles away from the outpost.

On this unpaved official road, there were still many Japanese people who were buried in transporting grain, timber, and stones, and when the iron horses came, they turned their heads one after another.

The next moment, the galloping iron horseman, the hanging blade was horizontal to the left and right, and as the war horse galloped, the blade entered the flesh, and the head rose to the sky.

Confusion and screams suddenly rang out.

When the chaotic sound was passed to the sentry camp on this side one by one, the mountains and rivers near the gate stopped and looked back at the widow girl beside him.

A team of galloping horses had spread like a torrent along the rough road, towards this side.

……

The cavalry running from south to northeast was the tiger cavalry battalion led by Guan Yu.

Since coming to the sea, he has been staying nearby, and finally received the order of the Son of Heaven to try to attack, but he was blocked by the strange wind, not to mention, he was almost killed by the fire boat full of fire oil by the Japanese people, if it wasn't for the sudden appearance of Lu Meng, who sacrificed his life to save him, I am afraid that it would not be their turn to take the lead on this Yunguo Island today.

When they received the order of the Son of Heaven again, everyone worked hard in the cabin, on the islands and reefs, and when they arrived at the shore, they let the war horse lick the salt in their hands.

This period of adrift at sea is over, and everyone will completely vent the fierce breath in their hearts.

In the early morning of the same day, after slaughtering a Japanese village by the sea, Guan Yu sent someone to inform his second brother and let him follow the second planned route in the west to keep alongside him until Huanglong.

The two battalions of Tiger Bu and Tiger Cavalry were immediately separated, and Zhang Fei and Zhang Bao led the foot soldiers from a straight line from south to north and went straight to the front of Heianjing.

Guan Yu led the cavalry from south to northeast, forming an arc and killing to the right rear side of Heianjing.

None of the ranks of the Tiger Cavalry Battalion were recruits, and most of them had to be Guan Yu or Zhou Cang, and sometimes Guan Ping had taught them the experience of using a knife on horseback.

In the Central Plains, Northwest, Jiangdong and other battlefields, they have established a great prestige, and in the face of the Japanese who are not yet high in horses, they are even worried that before they can wave their swords, just one cavalry charges, and the other party will be trampled to death by the horse's hooves.

Boom Boom –

In the early morning running, the monotonous sound of horses' hooves gathered, it was the sound of dry thunder on the flat land, and it was naturally Guan Yu who rushed to the front, the green robe covered half of the body, and the inside was a set of golden bright light armor, and he was followed by the one who rushed in front, which was the old brother Zhou Cang.

"Unplug this place!" Guan Yu urged the horse to gallop, and the green dragon in his hand hung upside down.

In the sound of horses' hooves, Zhou Cang nodded solemnly: "Cang opens the way for the prince!" ”

The galloping horse team immediately separated, and a cavalry of 200 people followed Zhou Cang to the front, and on the way, they encountered the Japanese people who fled in panic, they didn't look at it, and directly knocked them to the ground, stepping on the flesh and bones, and crushed the Japanese soldiers who were nervously forming a formation over there.

In the short period of more than ten breaths near the sentry camp, Zhou Cang hung his knife and bow, and shot an arrow at the Japanese soldiers who formed a formation on the opposite side at will, regardless of whether he was hit or not, he collected the bow and took the knife, his feet were a little horse's belly, the blade hung on the ground, and his voice shouted: "Kill them in twenty breaths!" ”

The speed of the cavalry of the two hundred tiger cavalry battalions behind him is getting faster and faster-

Outside the sentry camp, at this time, the thirty-five people of Yamakawa Kamezaburo gathered in a panic, and then an arrow flew over, shooting one of them directly over, and at the same time, they cheered each other up, gathered together, and kept a compact array to set up a gun array.

Thundered!

The surging cavalry of the two hundred tiger cavalry battalions, with the power of splitting the ground, held broadswords in their hands and divided into left and right in the wild run, directly bypassing the front of the gun array, and rushing through both sides like a tide.

The Japanese array kept the array rotating, Zhou Cang's arm swung away violently, and the big knife slashed through the bamboo spears, and several bamboo spears were broken into two and lifted into the air.

More cavalrymen swung their broadswords, and half of the bamboo spears of the entire thirty-five men were cut in half. Yamakawa Kamezaburo was also among them, and he threw away half of the bamboo gun in his hand.

Pulling out the blade on his waist, he viciously rushed towards the Xia cavalry who had just rushed over, the blade collided with the opponent's broadsword, and the moment the sparks splashed, his body was also hit by the war horse, and he was knocked out heavily before rolling to the ground, and his mouth and nose were full of blood.

The two hundred cavalry of the Tiger Cavalry Battalion did not pause at all, they were still galloping with their broadswords, and the thirty-five light feet seemed to be caught in the whirlpool, and in the blink of an eye, the weapons in their hands were swept away.

In an instant, more cavalry spread over, and according to the Japanese soldiers who no longer posed any threat, the cavalry that launched a charge one by one, like a pile driver, frantically chiseled into the crowd.

Viscous plasma, broken limbs, and flesh were paved all the way in the direction of the cavalry.

The two charges down, and the thirty-five widows, almost as if they were touching the ground, turned into a blanket of blood.

Guan Yu did not charge, such a battle, he didn't need to go out in person, and when it ended here, he let people set a fire to the Japanese outpost camp.

When he did this, he was naturally not afraid to let other Japanese people know, but he deliberately let the Japanese people in the vicinity, and even Heiankyo, know about it.

He Guan Yunchang killed him directly!
