Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 424 Cavalry
Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Cao Wenzong raised the horn, his chest swelled high, the sound of the horn seemed to never end, resounding over the entire battlefield, hundreds of cavalry rushed towards the enemy along the river bank, trampling the ground with their horseshoes like a huge drumstick , Knock on everyone's heart.

As Wang Wenzuo's most experienced cavalry general, He Bayong did not directly crash into the enemy's formation, but swept past the end of the enemy's right wing, and preemptively occupied a high ground behind the enemy's side.

Faced with He Bayong's abrupt move, the formation at the end of the Japanese right wing suddenly became chaotic. In order to avoid the surprise attack of the enemy cavalry from the side and rear, the leaders of each Japanese team ordered their subordinates to stop advancing, turn their guns, and shrink their formation.But their actions created a huge gap in their own front.

"He Ba!" Yuan Aolie saw it clearly from the high ground: "There is a gap on the thief's side!"

"It's okay, just wait for a moment!" He Bayong said.

"Wait? The governor is still fighting hard!" Yuan Aolie said anxiously.

"Stop talking too much, stand down!" He Bayong said angrily, "I am the cavalry general, if you talk too much, I will punish you for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army!"

Yuan Aolie was furious, but he also knew that the military law was strict, so he had to retreat.He Bayong stood on a high place, watched it for a while, and said loudly: "Yuan Aolie, Yiji Lianbode, you two should each lead fifty bow cavalry, and attack the enemy army with a wild boar banner according to the usual drill method. If the enemy counterattacks, you will retreat to the high ground and don't want to fight!"

Yuan Aolie and Yiji Lianbode responded, and each led fifty riders to gallop down from the high ground, and plundered the Japanese phalanx carrying the wild boar banner from the north and south sides respectively.There were about four or five hundred infantry in that phalanx. The leader saw the enemy cavalry rushing from two directions at the same time. He was shocked and shouted: "Quick, stand up your spears quickly and stand shoulder to shoulder. Those cavalry The guy is nothing special!"

"Ah ho!"

"I can't help you!" the ghost shouted: "We are all infantry, but the enemy is on horseback. How can we catch up? Even if we catch up, the formation is scattered. Where is the opponent on horseback? You let your If you grit your teeth and hold back, you won't be able to kill a few people!"

What the Japanese people didn't expect was that just when they were clenching their teeth and preparing to fight to the death.The two teams of enemy cavalry did not rush over, but swept past about seven or eight steps away in front of their own formation. Almost at the same time, these cavalry turned around, drew their bows fully, and shot a spearman in the front row. Arrows, followed by screams, the Japanese infantry fell to the ground in disorder, either in the face, or in the throat and chest.

The comments from the surrounding subordinates were like sharp arrows that hit the elder brother's heart. He bit his lips tightly so that he would not curse out loud.There is only one possibility for the situation in front of them-the defenders are completely desperate for the battle situation, so they no longer want to make unnecessary death struggles, and stand on the enemy's side.

But Wang Wenzuo had far-reaching considerations. For the ancient farming society, horses and cavalry were extremely expensive. The former required a lot of pasture land and enough fodder; the latter required long-term off-production training.Therefore, in the ancient farming societies of the East and the West, the cavalry could be equated with the nobles - they had enough wealth to provide horses and equipment; and the horse martial arts that could be cultivated through long-term off-the-job training was the confidence of their social status.

"Quick, help the leader up!"

"What should we do?" The leader was already so angry that he climbed onto the horse, pulled out his saber with his left hand, and shouted: "Don't worry about it, rushing up and fighting them to the death is better than standing there as an archery target!"

"Sanlang, the Japanese queen is here, so I won't bother you!" He Bayong smiled ambiguously. He already knew the special relationship between the beautiful queen and Wang Wenzuo, and he could only admire this. This friend has always had a good relationship with women,

"Good thing? Why do you say that?"

"Boss, boss, those cavalrymen are coming again, we have been shot dead and wounded 50 or [-] people, what should we do?"

"Could Sanlang plan to let the Japanese learn cavalry?" He Bayong asked, "Isn't that good?"

Wang Wenzuo smiled, filled the wine glass, and handed it to He Bayong: "Would you like to make a bet with me, after this battle, the Japanese will definitely try their best to raise horses!"

The Japanese infantry heard the leader's familiar shouts. Although they were afraid, they still gritted their teeth and yelled in unison to cheer themselves up. They raised their spears and moved closer to their companions, forming a wall of flesh. Only then did the leader feel relieved, and shouted to the neighbors: "Gui, we are neighbors, we must lend a helping hand!"

So if the Japanese want to learn the cavalry tactics of the Tang people, they must first change their social system - a group of warriors who have wealth to raise war horses and master military skills on horseback will replace the existing ruling class and become the new ruler class.

No matter how confused Zhong Daxie's subordinates were about their monarch's order, the order was still carried out.

"Please forgive me!" The officer on the side lowered his head in fear and trepidation: "I didn't hear clearly just now, are you going to—?"

Just like that, like dominoes, the number of broken soldiers is increasing, like a flash flood that erupts, pouring down from a high place, sweeping away all people and things that stand in its way.There was such a strange scene on the battlefield, the total number of cavalry not exceeding [-] drove thousands of people on a rampage, completely breaking down the entire formation of the Japanese, and many Japanese fell to the ground exhausted from running, and did not dare to turn back to resist those terrible cavalry .

"Raise the fire! Let the defenders at the top of Yingshen's Mausoleum attack!"

"Leader, leader!"

"That is to say, bullying the Japanese does not have a strong crossbow, and it is nothing more than a mob!" He Bayong returned the empty wine glass to Wang Wenzuo: "Have another drink, I am thirsty!"

"Ah ho!"

"Didn't they see the smoke?"

"Order to withdraw troops!"

"A beautiful victory!" Sitting by the river, Wang Wenzuo raised his glass to the blood-stained He Bayong: "Your cavalry should take the lead!"

"Hey! Why is there no movement?"

"Boss, boss! Many people have been shot! What should we do?"

Following a burst of confusion, the leader had already been lifted up from the ground, and after inspection, there was no other injury except for an arrow in his right shoulder, a bruised nose and a swollen face.Lang Dang on the side hurriedly pulled out the arrow for him and wrapped up the wound.

The torch was thrown on the haystack that had been prepared. There was a lot of dried cow dung scattered in the haystack. The smoke rose immediately and could be seen clearly for more than ten miles. According to the prior agreement, the guardian on the top of the tomb of Yingshen When the soldiers see the thick smoke, they will rush down and attack the enemy back and forth.Brother Zhong no longer expects to defeat the enemy with this move, but at least he can turn the unfavorable situation around, right?

There was no suspense in the ensuing battle. In less than two hours, the army brought by Brother Zhong had vanished into thin air—more than 7000 soldiers were killed on both sides on the battlefield; about 9000 people put down their weapons and bowed their knees to surrender; More than 1 soldiers fled into the Kongo Mountains and Yoshino Mountains. Most of them were captured or killed by local mountain people in the next few months. Their heads were regarded as proof of their allegiance to the new emperor.This may be the largest civil war in the Yamato Kingdom for hundreds of years. Since the battlefield is located near the Tomb of Emperor Oshin, it is also known as the Battle of the Imperial Tomb.

"Yes!"

"The Japanese also have cavalry, but they don't have many, and they don't know how to use it! Look at Ijilian Bode and the Ainu people in the mission are good at cavalry and archers! Even if we don't give them to the Japanese, they will It is nothing more than a matter of time to learn from other channels. Instead of this, it is better to hold those knights in our hands!"

"Withdraw the army, withdraw the army immediately!" Brother Zhong could feel his heart stabbing, he knew what it meant to retreat at this time, but he had no choice.Even if he puts the last reserve team into the battlefield, it will be difficult to restore the battle situation, at most it can be a tie.But there is no difference between a draw and a defeat for him. He is very clear how much the people in Asuka hate him. The only reason why they haven't risen yet is the fear of the army in their hands.And no one is afraid of an army that cannot win. If there is a coup in Asuka, the road to Omi will be cut off. At that time, escape will be a luxury.

"I've already heard Igillian Bode talk about your command! He admires you!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "First occupy the high place behind the enemy's side, and then lure the enemy to attack you, condescending to defeat the attack The enemy's infantry, and then drove the defeated soldiers to sweep the enemy line! You did better than I expected!"

He Bayong did not speak, but his frown showed that he did not agree with Wang Wenzuo's views. Indeed, in any era, the inflow of military technology and resources is extremely sensitive. After all, he can directly change the balance of military power.

"A good stallion, martial arts on horseback, how to command cavalry, is there anyone better than us in Japan?" Wang Wenzuo laughed.

"A ghost—!" The leader was furious when he heard the words. At this time, the fifty riders brought by Igillian Bode had already turned back. He grew up in a manor in the Eastern Kingdom since he was a child, and he was particularly good at horseback riding. , caught a glimpse of someone yelling under the wild boar banner, drew a full bow, sat up with his upper body, his buttocks slightly hanging in the air, and shot an arrow.Hearing a scream, the Japanese leader fell off his horse and was shot by an arrow in his right shoulder.

"Oops! The enemy's cavalry is rushing over again, what should we do!"

"It's nothing. It's just a matter of bringing in stallions and breeding them. It's just a matter of time!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "This is actually a good thing for us!"

"Horse?"

"Yes, the Japanese saw it very clearly in this battle. In the plains, powerful and flexible cavalry is decisive. Brother Zhong has a lot of infantry, but it doesn't help at all! As long as the Japanese don't want to be massacred in the next battle , will do everything possible to raise horses!"

"That's true!" He Bayong took a sip of his wine: "But their native horses are so poor that they can ride on them and shoot arrows. They will definitely not work as pack animals for battle!"

"Your scheduling is the key, I just did what anyone can do!" He Bayong took the wine glass and took a sip: "It can be done by someone else!"

Brother Zhong looked at everything in front of him, his hands and feet were cold, as if he was dead.What Wang Wenzuo said when he had a long conversation with him suddenly flashed in his mind: "Just use your means, and I will be able to deal with it with a little effort!" At first, he thought it was just a pretense Big words, it seems to be true now!

Regarding the special status of the queen, He Bayong didn't think it mattered - as a warrior, who knows when the horse's body will be returned. Could it be that he can't be satisfied when he is alive, and restrain himself with those things that he has and doesn't have?Isn't that a joke?
"Well, you should step back first and have a good rest!" Wang Wenzuo patted his friend on the shoulder and turned around: "What's the matter? Does Your Majesty have anything to do?"

"How is this possible? The thick smoke can be seen from more than ten miles away. The top of Emperor Yingshen's tomb is so high, how can he not see it?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Send reinforcements quickly! Otherwise, it will be too late!"

"That's right! Several people were shot in the face!"

"Inner Palace, Inner Palace!"

"Of course!" The nearby friendly army shouted: "When you resist the enemy cavalry, I will definitely attack them from behind!"

"Wan Sheng!"

He Bayong defeated the Japanese soldiers, and did not encircle them, but drove them towards the enemy's formation like sheep. Those defeated soldiers had no leader, and they had already lost their minds. .Soon he rushed to the adjacent friendly army, disrupting the formation of the friendly army, He Bayong's cavalry followed closely, and easily dispersed the Japanese, and then repeated the old trick to drive the defeated army to another share the enemy army.

Seeing the enemy's cavalry turn their horses around and charge over again, obviously intending to repeat the old trick, the leader was furious, and shouted to the neighboring friendly troops: "Gui, come and help!"

"You bastard! You know how to take advantage!" The leader spat and heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that the enemy cavalry from the north and the south were getting closer, he drew out his saber and raised it over his head, shouting loudly, "Wan Sheng!"

The Japanese team responded in unison, raised their spears, and charged at Yuan Aolie head-on.Seeing this, Yuan Aolie sneered, turned his horse's head and retreated towards the high ground. The Japanese were overjoyed and rushed forward one after another, but they didn't want to meet He Bayong who rushed towards him after chasing more than a hundred steps. De flanked again.The leader of the Japanese people died in the rebellion, and hundreds of people left their weapons and armor and fled, leaving only the wild boar flag that was trampled on by countless horseshoe marks.

"Where's Katsuragi? Have you caught him?" Qiyu's cheeks were flushed, and his towering chest heaved violently: "I want to give him this bottle of poisonous celery juice, and give him the face of a king!"

"He has escaped!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "According to the confession of the captives, when the situation of the war is irreversible, he escaped with the reserve force!"

"Escaped? This guy!" Saitama stamped his feet angrily, "What a coward!"
