Chapter 495: White Horse Hurricane
The reason why Fan Fu Huchang was allowed to stay in ambush was because he was not only a veteran of the army, but also the first commander of the Red Reserve Army in his previous life.
Soon after Takeda Shingen led the main force to evacuate, he sent envoys to lurk on the roads where he came, and monitored the Xia soldiers and horses who might be pursuing from these roads, after all, it was impossible for only 2,000 people to take care of the pursuers on all paths.
At this point, the 2,100-strong Red Reserve Army chose an easier place to set up an ambush.
Before setting up the ambush, he had already driven away the people in the nearby Japanese villages, and if he didn't want to leave, he directly asked his soldiers to kill all the people, so as not to leak the news.
In the quiet mountains and forests, the faint sound of birdsong came from afar.
"Lord Fan Fu Huchang, the code has appeared, and a Xia State soldier and horse are coming towards us." In the shadows, the deputy general came from the edge of the forest and reported to Fan Fu Huchang, who was sitting on the big bluestone: "Please show the general!" ”
"Prepare for an ambush!" Fan Fu Huchang drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, threw the wine glass to the ground, grabbed the spear inserted in the ground, and stood up with a bang.
The lieutenant nodded and turned, and ran through the woods, gesturing at the men lurking around him.
The figures almost held their breath, and for a moment the figures hidden in the entire forest, shrubs, and hillsides disappeared from all sounds.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and even the insects in the grass seemed to feel the slaughter and became dead.
Beneath the gentle slopes of the hill is a rugged and sunken dirt road, where many people once walked, but now only the panicked footprints left by the withdrawal of the Japanese soldiers remained.
"It's coming!"
The faint sound of horses' hooves pierced through the sky and gradually became clear and audible, and Fan Fu Huchang lay on the grass and looked at the sky.
He squirted a bug crawling on his lips, his eyes through the gaps in the bushes, and along the path below the end.
Under the cloudy sky, the cavalry lined up a long dragon and rushed forward, holding high the banner of the word 'Zhao', hunting and flying.
"The cavalry of the Xia Kingdom is an elite force, and it is finally waiting for a big guy!"
Fan Fu Huchang was a man of few words, but he couldn't help but be a little excited at the moment, he stared at the Xia cavalry that was gradually coming here, suddenly raised his hand to stop the restless lieutenant general, and lowered his voice and advised: "Wait for them to pass halfway!" ”
In the mountains and forests, one by one the figures were squatting or crouching, and when they heard the order of Fan Fu Huchang, they held their breath nervously and tightened their hands with weapons.
Staring at the Xia cavalry marching with all their might below.
"Can you beat it? Lord Itomi Huchang. The deputy general clenched the sword in his hand and asked the general who was unblinking on the side.
"As long as you are not afraid of death, you can fight!"
Fan Fu Huchang licked his lips and clenched the iron spear, the ambush soldiers were always caught off guard, once the enemy was in a hurry, it would not be far from defeat.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the figures of the cavalry passed by his overlooking vision, and when it was almost over, he slowly got up, and his voice was hoarse: "Ready!" ”
While the lieutenant general was gesticulating, the figures behind him pulled out their swords and stood up, moving their steps and starting to step forward.
A hundred elite archers were also among them, quietly holding up their arrows and pointing at the marching cavalry below.
I really want to see the shocked appearance of the generals of the Xia Kingdom!
Thinking of such a picture, the corners of Rice Fuhuchang's mouth slightly hooked a sinister smile, he raised the iron spear and gave the last order.
"Kill—"
A hundred elite archers, let go of the thumbs of the buckle strings, and the arrows rushed out of the woods, and the surrounding red soldiers rushed out, dressed in red armor and holding swords.
Fan Fu Huchang jumped out of the woods with an iron spear, ran on the ground with his feet fast, waved his spearhead, and yelled in a whisper: "Kill!" ”
The 2,000 Red Reserve Army surged up the hillside and rushed down the cavalry galloping below.
In an instant, some of the arrows fell to the ground, some were shot at the galloping horses, or on the arms of people, and some cavalrymen lay on their horses and dodged the arrows.
A hundred feathered arrows are not dense, in front of two thousand cavalry, not to mention that there is a shield in the middle, and the effect of shooting is not obvious.
However, the next picture made Fan Fu Huchang, who led the army down the hillside, almost stop, and the panicked scene of the Xia cavalry that he originally imagined did not appear.
Just listening to the whisper of 'huh' over there, a figure of a white horse and a silver spear stopped the war horse, looked at the Japanese soldiers who rushed down, and the leader Fan Fu Huchang slowly raised the silver spear in his hand.
The cavalry running on one side pulled their horses together, turned around, faced the hillside, and looked at the group of Japanese soldiers with a calm face, and some even had a sneer on their faces.
"So calm?"
Fan Fu Huchang looked at the road below, as if in his Xia State cavalry, the whole person was confused, how different from the originally envisioned picture.
He used to be a general with troops, and he didn't ambush the enemy once or twice, but this was the first time he encountered this incident.
"Why are the generals of this Xia Kingdom not afraid of ambushes?"
At the moment when a series of doubts arose, the general of the Xia Kingdom riding a white horse below suddenly thrust the spear in his hand into the ground, took out a bow with his backhand, buckled a feather arrow, and flew towards him.
He rushed to the front, and there was no way to avoid it, so he had to crouch on the ground, and the arrow almost grazed his hair and flew over, penetrating a Red Reserve soldier who was still running behind him, and then shot the second person behind him to death, and the arrow stopped.
The next moment.
Two thousand white horses lined up, neatly drew their bows, and shot at the red reserve army that rushed down, and the Japanese soldiers who were about to rush to the last section of the hillside suddenly turned on their backs.
Then, with a snort, he put away his bow and arrows, and urged his horse to run down the road, so that the red soldiers who rushed down and jumped down the hill were pounced.
Iifu Huchang jumped up on a rock, rushed towards the nearest cavalryman, and in the next second, a war horse galloped on the side, and before he could react, he was knocked out and fell back to the hillside.
Over there, Zhao Yun immediately crossed the gun, his eyes were cold, and he was not at all as calm as when he fought against the island before.
Fan Fu Huchang rolled around on the ground, got up with an iron spear, and touched his body in a bit of a daze, not understanding at all how he was beaten by the other party just now.
On the road, Bai Ma Yi ran on the field, distanced himself from the Japanese army, and began to shoot on horseback.
Zhao Yun ignored the surrounding Japanese soldiers, one person and one horse stood in place, and a nearby red soldier dragged the side of the sword and rushed over, the silver spear danced, like a snake as if it stabbed quickly, picking and pulling, and the blood lines flew up in the air.
Zhao Yun didn't look at the fallen corpse, raised his left hand, stretched out his fingers, and hooked his fingers at the general on the opposite side, learning from the provocative actions that Su Chen had done.
This kind of action is obviously provocative, Fan Fu Huchang can't see it, he also made the same provocative action towards the Xia general opposite, he opened his mouth, 'hehe', and spit a mouthful of saliva on the other party's hooves.
The white horse glanced down and exhaled violently.
On horseback, the faint expression on Zhao Yun's face gradually turned angry.
His heel slammed into the horse's belly, and the white horse, as if angry as his master, roared in a high-pitched voice, raised his hooves and rushed up the hillside.
A few soldiers of the Red Reserve Army who stopped over formed a formation, thinking about the formation they had practiced in the past, and with a slender sword, they stopped the current generals of the Xia Kingdom.
The moment they met them, what responded to them was that the shadow of the spear stabbed like a chaotic dance was on them in an instant, and in the next second, Zhao Yun jumped between them on a white horse, fell to the hillside with four hooves, and galloped up.
The five Red Reserve soldiers stood in place, their armor cracked, revealing blood holes and blood flowing.
And on the hillside, Fan Fu Huchang pulled out the sword at his waist, which was not a tall body, with "Ah! He roared and jumped up.
Secret Technique: Jiashan Tiger!
Turning around in mid-air, the blade swung violently without hesitation, and at this moment, under the skylight, there seemed to be a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain behind his figure.
The blade that was slashed away instantly sent a gust of wind through the air, and a tiger roared.
The gentian bright silver spear flew in, collided with the blade that was slashed, and there was a 'poof' sound.
Zhao Yun galloped on his horse, his cloak was raised, his left hand drew his sword, and at the moment when the figure of the war horse and the opponent jumped in mid-air staggered, his whole body was flooded with a puff of white gas, and he turned around on the horse's back, and slashed out angrily with a sword.
Secret Technique: Blocking the River and Capturing Adou!
An arm wearing red armor dragged blood into the sky, and on the back of the staggered war horse, Zhao Yun turned his back to the Japanese general who fell to the ground, shook off the blood beads on the blade of the sword, and put the sword back into the sheath with a bang.
Zhao Yun held the gentian gun in his other hand, turned his face slightly, his eyes crossed the corners of his eyes, glanced at Fan Fu Huchang, who was missing an arm on the ground, slowly turned the horse's head, and urged the horse to pass.
On weekdays, he is gentle and humble, and when he arrives in the battle array, his anger and ferocity as a general can also be vividly displayed, not to mention that the Japanese general uses his name to flaunt himself, which is a living insult to him.
More than a dozen Red Reserve soldiers rushed forward, and before they could get close, they were stabbed to the ground by several shots.
"Wolver!"
Zhao Yun urged the white horse to step on a corpse, staring at Fan Fu Huchang who was holding a broken arm on the ground, and the head of the spear hanging on one side was slowly dripping blood.
"Come on!" Fan Fu Huchang touched the lost Tai Dao, struggled to get up, and roared at the opposite side of the man and horse, however, at this moment, there were not many people in the surrounding Red Reserve Army to echo.
All around, the roads and fields are full of white horses running in small groups, the horses are surging, and the cavalry on horseback is like walking dogs, pulling the pursuing Japanese soldiers, and constantly shooting them one by one with arrows on the horseback.
It is the tactics used by the White Horse Yicong that came from the White Horse Yicong at the end of the Han Dynasty, however, it was not only the cavalry that could confront Xianbei and the Xiongnu back then.
Among them, there is also the experience of Zhao Yun in the second half of his life, and he taught these soldiers together, in the case of the same strength, Bai Ma Yi continued to shoot, alternately divided the Japanese soldiers who were pulled to the open area, and constantly used arrows to shoot them one after another, and after the attrition was almost over, the swimming cavalry group fell in the sound of the horn, and gradually gathered from the small team into a charging array.
This is the most efficient way to kill.
The moment the horn of the charge sounded, as an elite Red Reserve Army, even if the weapons were lighter and better than usual, and everyone wore wooden armor, they were soldiers who had never experienced the real battlefield.
There is an insurmountable gap with the White Horse Yoshiko, who has gone through many wars.
After seeing the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom gathered and charged, the red soldiers on this side were still scattered in the field to meet them.
In an instant, it was engulfed by the spread of cavalry.
Generally, the cavalry charges, and the front ones are the strongest cavalry in the army, and they have killed the enemy in their hands, not to mention double digits.
Boom!
The cavalry that charged at high speed changed their spears and directly stabbed the red soldiers who wanted to cut off the horse's legs, and more cavalry torrents in the rear directly penetrated into the red soldiers on the field.
The sword snapped, and the spear stabbed over one body with the speed of a war horse, blood splattered in the air, and human stumps lifted into the air.
Fan Fu Huchang looked at this scene, forgetting the pain, and he opened his mouth silently.
"Red Reserve ......"
Zhao Yun also looked at the killing in the field over there, his eyes were still full of anger, and the gentian bright silver spear in his hand stabbed at the chest of Fanfu Huchang with a flash of skylight, and then, pulled it out!
Hold the opponent's corpse in the head of the gun with one hand and hold it in the air.
……
Large swaths of corpses fell, and no one paid attention to the figures who threw down their weapons and begged to surrender, and these battle-hardened cavalrymen directly rushed back and forth on horseback.
From a distance, the Takeda military envoy who was observing the battlefield, looking at this picture, was so frightened that the soul of the dead was frightened, and it was obviously an ambush, but it turned into an encounter.
And this is the first time I have seen with my own eyes how crazy the Xia army is.
What kind of spirit Takeda-sama used to brag about, when compared to them at this moment, it is as ridiculous as a child's play.
At this time, a cavalryman saw him, and the envoy was directly frightened, turned around and ran on horseback.
After a while, a large number of horses' hooves pursued behind him, and he glanced back from time to time, and behind him was a field of cavalry, surging and undulating like a wave.
Frightened, the envoy cried out on the horse's back, hugging the horse's neck.
While crying, he shot arrows and tried to call his companions to come to the rescue, but the envoy who arrived saw the running Xia cavalry from a distance, came over one by one to take a look, and then turned and fled.
Just when the news of the Xia cavalry chasing and killing was conveyed to the retreating Takeda Shinxuan army, on the other side, the soldiers and horses of the three armies had already set up camp on the plain near the sea of Yunguo Island.
"Zhao Yun's department has lost contact, and has already sent someone to check the path they passed, Wen Hou is still in contact, but it is confirmed from Zhang Liao's side that the wolf ride led by Wen Hou is not far from him, and it may be in a certain mountain."
Jia Xu sorted out the information, said to Su Chen, and then summarized the information and handed it to Wu Zixun.
The latter took it and withdrew from the royal tent.
"Will the Takeda Army set up an ambush in the middle of the way and ambush Zhao Yun and Lu Bu's two troops and horses?"
Su Chen got up from behind the long case, walked to the map, and looked at the two routes marked on it that Takeda Shingen's main force might retreat.
After all, the terrain is unfamiliar, if you ambush in the middle of the way, the loss of war horses is small, and the excellent cavalry that was finally raised will be sent in vain.
Jia Xu glanced at the Son of Heaven with a focused expression, he pursed his lips and muttered in his heart: "It's not that you used the agitation method to stir up the anger of the two before." ’
Of course, it was impossible for him to say it directly, but he still said a warm-up word.
"According to General Zhao's temperament, I am afraid that if the Japanese want to ambush him, I am afraid that they will almost be on fire. As for Wen Hou, hehe...... It is said that the ambush of the Japanese invaders will be directly disabled. ”
Just as he was speaking, Wu Zixun, who had come out of the imperial tent over there, sent the information to a nearby tent and handed it over to the documents inside for transcription and archiving.
After coming out, he went to the back again, the patrol soldiers had just passed, and there was no one around at the moment, so Wu Zixun unbuttoned his belt, took off his trousers under his robe, and happily released the urine that had been holding all the way.
窸窸~~窣窣~~
The grass that was being watered by the scorched yellow water column moved suddenly, Wu Zixun vaguely saw the cold light, he rubbed his eyes, and hurriedly put on his trousers and retreated, a figure pounced out, grabbed his shirt and pressed him to the ground-
The man was covered with blades of grass all over his body, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, but at this moment his head and body were full of stench.
"Save—"
Before the words were shouted, the man twisted his hand, and his fingertips pinched Wu Zixun's neck, and his neck was crooked suddenly, and he lost his voice.
And the man looked around, dragged the fainting Xia Guoren, and rushed to another tuft of grass next to him.
This person is Sarutobi Sasuke, who was sent by Takeda Shingen!
