Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 415 Reinforcement
"This—" Hearing this, Cao Wenzong couldn't help but gasped: "This step shooting is fine, riding a horse is really not easy. If it's an ordinary person, it's not surprising that you can't even hit an arrow!"

"That's natural. Brother Zhong must not be idle these days. As far as the number of infantry is concerned, I am sure not as many as him. However, from the experience of fighting Baekje, the Japanese are not good at using cavalry. The key to the victory of the two armies is On the cavalry!"

"Ming Gong said so, of course it is good!" Cao Wenzong laughed and said: "It's just that from what I see, the Japanese horses are really average. If they are used to charge the battle, I'm afraid they won't work!"

As Cao Wenzong said, the Yamato Dynasty, as a country established by foreigners, did not spend less effort to transport horses from the Korean Peninsula to improve the level of war horses, but the result can only be said to be unsatisfactory. The horses in the Japanese army are generally better than those of the Tang army. The height of the horse's shoulders is two to three palms short. This gap can be the difference between life and death in a battle.For this reason, Wang Wenzuo also took great pains: "Yes, so I plan to use the Japanese as cavalry archers and shoot them through the roundabout!" While speaking, he jumped down the corridor, drew out his saber and began to explain while drawing on the ground.

Because the ancestors of Li Tang were born in Wuchuan, they attached great importance to the use of cavalry. In all previous internal and external wars, the cavalry of the Tang army took on the main attack tasks. The gap provides corresponding protection and cooperates with the cavalry's attack, while the cavalry is responsible for tasks such as scouting, breaking out, turning around, flanking, and driving out enemy cavalry.Wang Wenzuo, who grew up under this kind of military system, is of course also accustomed to using scorpions, trebuchets, archers and other firepower to attack the weak points on the enemy's front, then use cavalry to tear the gap, and finally attack or flank the enemy's main formation , to win.

But right now he doesn't have a strong cavalry force in his hands. Even if Baekje's reinforcements arrive, the Tang army's cavalry will not exceed 3 cavalry, and the strength of Brother Zhong should not be less than [-]. It should be possible to obtain reinforcements from the controlled neighboring countries), in such a large-scale battle, the role that three hundred cavalry can play is too small.Therefore, Wang Wenzuo could only try his best to select cavalry and archers from the Japanese tyrants who came to join him to strengthen his cavalry, so as to realize his tactical vision: choose a weak area in the enemy's formation, and first use armored cavalry as a collision with the enemy's formation, and the enemy will naturally The archers will be withdrawn and replaced by spearmen in a dense line to resist, and then the cavalry archers will sweep across the enemy's formation and shoot and kill the unobstructed enemy infantry. After the enemy's formation is loosened, the armored cavalry will then break the formation.

"So that's it!" Cao Wenzong said with a smile, "Why did Duke Ming test riding and shooting like this? He shoots such a close target with six bows on the horse, and shoots four targets in a row under the fast horse. It turns out that there is such a wonderful thing. place!"

"There are very few strong crossbows in the Japanese army, so cavalry archers can approach them, use big bows to hit the key points, and those who fall in the middle will be killed. In this way, it only takes two or three rounds, and the enemy's formation will naturally disintegrate! Then use iron cavalry to charge. The enemy must be defeated!"

What Wang Wenzuo chose this time is actually the pistol cavalry semi-round tactic of later generations. This tactic was mainly used to deal with the pike phalanx at that time, but the wheel-wheel pistol was replaced by a riding bow.The reason why he put the straw man target at a distance of ten steps when testing the cavalry archer is to allow the cavalry archer to shoot at close range - so as to ensure sufficient lethality, deter the enemy infantry enough, and open a gap for the cavalry behind .

"I understand!" Cao Wenzong nodded.

"The Japanese are probably not used to this kind of shooting. You can let the Japanese recruits try more first, so that few of them can pass the test that day, and it will be too ugly!"

"Yes!"

The sea breeze blows, and the sea boat slides over the headland and sails into the bay.

Monobe Shoukuma came to Shoukun Oishi standing at the bow of the ship. In front of him, he could vaguely see the deserted coast in winter. Above were the mountains covered with weeds. The white granite mountains emerged from the ground, like a huge white city wall.

"We're going to Nanbatsu soon!" Monobe Mamoru Kuma recalled: "That's where we boarded the ship at the beginning. Katsuragi said that we would follow the example of Queen Shengong, defeat the Silla people, retake the four prefectures of Imna, send troops to the peninsula, and restore the hundred Ji! Everyone shouted 'Long live', 'Long live'!"

"And then!" Shoujun Dashi showed a mocking smile.

"Then?" Monobe Shoukuma showed a wry smile: "One defeat after another, and finally lose everything!"

"Now it seems that it may not be considered a loss!" Shoujun Dashi said with a smile: "Look, haven't we come back now? There are reinforcements from the Tang people. If we can win this time, those who lost before will win." Come back, and Ge Cheng may be doomed forever!"

"That's right!" Monobe Shouxiong laughed: "Don't the people of Tang have a saying? It's not a good thing if you lose your horse, and we were captured in Baekje. Now it seems that it may not be a bad thing!"

Shoujun Dashi nodded, just about to speak, suddenly looked back and kept silent, it turned out that Dinghui and Ijilian Bode had also walked over.Shoukun Oishi and Monobe Shoukuma looked at the two of them warily. Although these two people are now working under Wang Wenzuo, they were from Katsuragi's faction before, and Singhui was the eldest son of Nakatomi Kamazu. Even now, the two People still can't deal with it.

"It's really emotional to see the scenery of my hometown again! Do you two feel the same way?" Iggy Lianbode said with a smile.

"Yes!" Shoujun Dashi answered with a smile, "Brother Zhong was still in charge of state affairs when he left last time, but this time he became a traitor. It's really unexpected!"

Shoujun Oishi's words obviously meant something, Dinghui's face changed slightly, and he was about to say something, but was stopped by Yiji Lianbo.

"Yes, but things in this world are like the sea, which is unpredictable. Mediocre people like us can only drift with the current and save our lives. Don't you think so?"

"Brother Monobu and I are mediocre people, but you two are not!" Shoujun Dashi said with a smile: "When you were in Wa Kingdom, you two were very trusted by the emperor and the prince, but after going to Tang Dynasty, you became kings again. The celebrities under Shijun's command. It's not like we were squeezed out and suppressed in Japan and sent to Baekje to be cannon fodder. When we arrived in Tang Dynasty, we were not as smooth as the two of you. You can only envy him!"

"Admirable?" Iggy Lianbode laughed: "Why do you say that?"

"Wang Shijun wants Katsuragi's life, and Nakatomi Kamatsu is Katsuragi's right-hand man!" Shoujun Oishi pointed to Dinghui: "Father and son are on one side, and they support each other. No matter which side wins, it doesn't matter." Suffering, how can we not be envious?"

"You—" Dinghui was furious when he heard the words, his right hand was already on the handle of the knife at his waist, and he said angrily: "When the poor monk got on the boat, my father had already said that he should serve his ancestors, and father and son are strangers. What does it mean to have strange yin and yang qi?"

"Hehe!" Shoujun Dashi laughed: "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me? It's a pity that you have a knife, and I have a knife! Let's fight, who will die and who will live is not sure!" After all, he and the Monobe and even the bear were standing by their swords, looking like their swords were on the verge of breaking out.

"What are you doing?"

He Bayong's voice came from behind, and the four of them looked back, but it was He Bayong and Yuan Aolie who had also boarded the deck, and hurriedly gathered their knees and bowed down.He Bayong sneered: "I don't care what you do in private, anyway, in the army right now, if you violate the military law, you will act in accordance with the military law!"

The four of them responded, and retreated disheartenedly. He Bayong snorted coldly: "These Japanese people can't be seen on weekdays. How come they are like black-eyed chickens after boarding the boat, and they will be pulled out after a few words." The knife is gone, it's really a headache!"

"Normally they don't have much to do with each other, so naturally they don't quarrel! Now that they are on the same boat, it's natural that they both get bored!" Yuan Aolie laughed and said, "Besides, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing!"

"Isn't that a bad thing?" He Bayong sneered and said, "If you're a lieutenant general, you won't be held responsible, right? If someone dies in a fight, Saburo blames it, and we eat the whip together, and you won't be able to escape!"

Yuan Aolie smiled and said: "He Ba, I think Sanlang is well aware of these Japanese people's private affairs, otherwise why did you ask us to bring two groups of people here? Think about it, this is their territory , when they come here, they are the masters, we are just guests, if they are still in a group, can they still move around?"

"That's right! It must be so!" He Bayong glanced at Yuan Aolie: "You can even think of these things. I haven't seen you for three days. You should look at him with admiration!"

"Hehe!" Yuan Aolie laughed twice: "Sanlang came back from Chang'an this time. He is Quanzhi Xiongjin Governor's Mansion, the comfort ambassador of the Japanese country. This promotion is like growing wings. Even if he misses the old love again, he will support him We old brothers, we have to use our own refreshments and fight for strength, if the mud can't support the wall, we will not only be sorry for Saburo, but also for ourselves."

"That's right!" He Bayong's expression also became serious: "It is needless to say that Sanlang is nostalgic for the past. This time he went to the Wa Kingdom by himself to open up the situation and let us be the successors. Since ancient times, there has been no official who has been the successor of Shangguan. Reason? If we bring these boatmen to the Wa country properly, we will be ashamed to see Saburo!"

"There was a storm on the road, and a boat was damaged, hundreds of people, and seven or eight horses!" Yuan Aolie sighed.

"Traveling across the ocean, it's not bad to lose such a small amount!" He Bayong sighed, and looked behind him, only to see two large sand ships following closely behind, followed by more ships of different sizes. Sailing with the evening tide, they lined up in a loose single file and stretched backward for several miles. Looking at the sails, Heba Yong felt a sense of relief.

"He Ba, there is one more thing, have you heard?" Yuan Aolie suddenly lowered his voice and leaned over.

"What's the matter?"

"It's the boat that Saburo sent back! I heard that the bilge is full of gold and silver, as well as all kinds of furs, the bilge is full!" Yuan Aolie laughed.

"There is such a thing? Where did you know?" He Bayong frowned.

"A little bit of wind, a little bit of wind!" Yuan Aolie said with a smile: "According to this, this Japanese country is much richer than Baekje, and Lao Cui must have gained a lot of benefits by following Saburo first!"

He Bayong glanced at Yuan Aolie, and said with a sneer, "You bastard, you always listen to the wind and rain, and you dare to talk nonsense even at the sound of the wind, you really don't want your head!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Yuan Aolie said with a smile: "Several sailors and the sergeants who escorted the ship have already talked about it, and on the night after the ship arrived, Shen Faseng and Sanqiu personally led people to escort several large carts. Back to the mansion, why do you want the two of them to go together?"

He Bayong did not speak. When Wang Wenzuo left Baekje, he handed over the military power in his hands to Shen Faseng. Although Sanqiu's status was not high, he was Wang Wenzuo's private slave and housekeeper. The two took people to the pier late at night to charge the goods. Most of them are Wang Wenzuo's personal property.

"How, my guess is not bad?" Yuan Aolie saw that He Bayong did not speak, and smiled.

"Whether it's right or wrong, it's not what we should ask!" He Bayong said coldly: "You and I know who Sanlang is, but is he a greedy person? It's just that these things are sensitive It’s true, too many people who know about it will cause trouble. I’ll just pretend that you didn’t mention it today, and don’t mention it again!”

Yuan Aolie was robbed, and felt a little unhappy: "Don't I know what you said? If it weren't for my old brother, I wouldn't tell you. If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it in the future! "

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation from the mast: "There is a ship, there is a ship coming!"

The watchman's shout made the two of them put aside the dispute just now. He Bayong said: "Hurry up, blow the horn and let everyone be on guard. Without my order, don't shoot an arrow indiscriminately!"

Four Tennoji Temple.

Standing in the corridor, Wang Wenzuo was concentrating on watching the murals on the wall. With the end of the war, many sundries that had been piled up in the corridor were removed, and he finally had time to appreciate the treasures of these ancient Baekje artists. Compared with the modern artworks seen by Wang Wenzuo before traveling, although their craftsmanship is still very crude, we can see the enthusiasm and belief of these creators.

"Fujun, Fujun!"

Wang Wenzuo turned around and saw Cui Hongdu running along the corridor. In order to run faster, he even lifted the front of his robe and tied it to his belt. This kind of situation is rare recently.

"What happened?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "Hongdu's appearance is disgraceful!"

"I can't care anymore!" Cui Hongdu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Baekje's reinforcements have arrived!"

"So fast! Who is on board? There will be losses on the way!" Wang Wenzuo was taken aback. According to his budget, even if everything goes well, it will take another three or four days for Baekje's reinforcements to arrive. Of course, if they bring gold and silver If the messenger ship that fur went back sank or was blown by strong winds to the ports of Kyushu and Silla, the reinforcements might never arrive. The worst case scenario is not impossible.

"He Bayong and Yuan Aolie were on the boat, encountered wind and waves on the way, and lost a boat, a hundred people, and seven or eight horses. Due to the favorable wind, the boat was much faster than expected!"

　There are many things at the end of the year, and the update will be irregular. I hope everyone will forgive me!

　　By the way, ask for tickets, rewards, and subscriptions!
