"Virtuous nephew, how do you plan to attack this division of troops?" Li Xiaogong said to Xia Hongsheng with a smile.

Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Isn't my uncle already understood?" The little nephew wanted to divide the three thousand elite horsemen into six strands and split them into six teams of five hundred people. These six teams, all armed with artillery and projectiles, gasoline, medicine packets, and enough earth-shattering thunder, were ambushed in six places on the road. Whenever the Japanese army came to one of them, the 500 men in that place were blocked by means of earth-shaking thunder, artillery, and gasoline. The Japanese army is bound to be in chaos, and 500 people can take the opportunity to attack the Japanese army, but they do not love war, let alone fight hard. After the projectile is finished, the medicine bag is blown up, the gasoline is burned, and the earth-shattering thunder is used up, just impact a few back and forth, and then retreat to fight guerrillas. The Wa Kingdom must have thought that the Tang Dynasty army was in front of them, and they would definitely form a formation and hold on. And the 500 people can leave after the nuisance. As a result, the Japanese army had to go through six blockades, and at each place they went, they were burned by artillery fire, scattered their ranks, and suffered numerous casualties. The itinerary of the Japanese army must be greatly hindered, and there is also a need to worry about the appearance of the main force of the Tang Dynasty. After the first two blockades, the 1,000 people could join the 500 people in the next place, and the third blockade gave the illusion that the main force of the Tang Dynasty of the Japanese army had arrived. The Japanese army does not know where the Tang Dynasty has made arrangements, and it cannot be estimated whether the Tang Dynasty will be the main force next time. In this way, we can destroy the living forces of the Japanese army in large numbers, and at the same time delay the journey of the Japanese army. When the Japanese army arrives in Osaka, even if there are no more than half of them, then why will there be less than 30 percent, right? At that time, the six teams could gather together and attack from behind, forming a two-sided attack with the Tang generals of Osaka against the Japanese army. ”

After Li Xiaogong heard this, he laughed out loud and said, "What the virtuous nephew thinks really coincides with this king. It's just that the methods in the middle of this king are different from those of the virtuous nephew. The king wanted to divide the three thousand horses into four strands, two of five hundred, and two of one thousand. With 500 men, with the momentum of war horses, they attacked the Japanese army formation, and scattered the Japanese army formation, and after they were scattered, the other 1,000 people pursued the Japanese army that had become a small force after the break, and surrounded and annihilated it. Swift and fast, withdraw and retreat, avoiding the crowd. ”

"What my uncle meant was that a team of 500 men would go to disperse the Japanese army, and then a team of 1,000 people would wait for the Japanese army to be dispersed and pick up the leak. When the Japanese army reacted, they immediately retreated. When the Japanese army regrouped, they would disperse it again and pick up the leaks. And so on and so forth. Xia Hongsheng stopped Li Xiaogong's words, nodded, and said.

"Yes, that's exactly what this king meant." Li Xiaogong said with a smile.

Xia Hongsheng wrote "dividing troops to disturb the attack", and Li Xiaogong wrote "dividing them to attack". The two of them had similar meanings, they both decided to divide their troops.

Xia Hongsheng's meaning is to turn the war with the Japanese army into multiple stages, divide the 3,000 elite cavalry into several units, and use the advantages of equipment to block the Japanese army in multiple sections, one is to eliminate the living force of the Japanese army as much as possible, and the other is to slow down the pace of the Japanese army, so that it cannot quickly reach Osaka, so as to repair the city wall for Osaka, and win time for the arrival of the Dengzhou naval division led by Zhang Liang.

Li Xiaogong's meaning is to use the 3,000 elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to divide a part to attack the Japanese army, disrupt the Japanese army, and then concentrate on destroying one or several of them with superior forces. When the Japanese army regrouped to form a counterattack, they immediately retreated. When the Japanese army set off again, they would attack again, constantly dismantling the Japanese army, and then concentrating their forces to attack the small Japanese army after it had been dispersed. It is also to destroy the living forces and drag the Japanese army on the road.

In the same way, in the form of dividing troops, by means of multiple disturbances, the living forces of the Japanese army were constantly annihilated and the itinerary of the Japanese army was delayed. However, the focus and advantages of the two methods are different.

Li Xiaogong's division of troops to harass relied on the superiority of cavalry mobility, using the mobility of cavalry to disperse the Japanese army, and then concentrating the number of people to kill those small groups of Japanese army, and transforming it into a small area of many against few in the big situation of less to many. Then, before the Japanese reacted and organized a counteroffensive, they quickly withdrew with the advantage of cavalry's mobility to avoid being surrounded.

And Xia Hongsheng's division of troops to harass relied on the huge lethality of new weapons such as artillery, medicine packs, earth-shaking thunder, and gasoline. 500 people, although the number is small, but they are mostly equipped with artillery, projectiles and medicine packs, earth-shaking thunder, etc., so they can burst out with huge lethality, quickly harvest a large number of living forces of the Japanese army in a short period of time, inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army, and then quickly evacuate. Five hundred people, artillery bombardment and bombardment in a row, earth-shattering thunder thrown over one by one, medicine packets kept being thrown over, and gasoline burned non-stop. Running out of things in one go, and then turning around and withdrawing, like a storm, coming and going fast.

"The virtuous nephew relies on the power of firearms, and this king relies on the disease of war horses." Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "Firearms are new, and war horses are old. The virtuous nephew is new, and the king is the old. In the Tang Army, there are successors! ”

"Uncle praised ......" Xia Hongsheng hurriedly shook his head, what are you kidding, what is the successor in the army, my son is going back to Chang'an to be a gentleman, teasing the girl to teach the students to engage in "invention", what a comfortable life, who wants to inherit the army and go to war everywhere!

Li Xiaogong smiled: "The virtuous nephew is too modest." In this way, let's follow the method of the virtuous nephew! ”

"Yes!" Xia Hongsheng nodded excitedly: "The little nephew will go down here to arrange!" ”

The 3,000 elite cavalry brought by the rear army rushed forward and rushed in the direction of Fujiwara-kyo. The sailors and men of the twelve ironclad ships drew out a thousand men as a baggage team, carrying sixty guns, six hundred rounds of projectiles, one thousand five hundred medicine kits, and three hundred cans of gasoline, to provide logistics for the three thousand elite horsemen.

This amount is about to be emptied of the equipment brought by the Ryukyu Navy Division this time, and the remaining number after the occupation of Osaka.

Three thousand elite cavalry will quickly pass in the direction of Fujiwara Kyo, and along the way, in a place suitable for ambush, a Tang army of five hundred people will be left to ambush. And he left behind ten pieces of artillery, one hundred projectiles, two hundred medicine packets, and one hundred pieces of gasoline for the five hundred men. In addition, each person carries six earth-shattering thunders, which is the standard number of Datang elite horses.

The remaining five Tang armies were all equipped with this number, and the surplus was allocated to the last one to ambush, that is, the team that blocked the Japanese army for the first time.

And Li Xiaogong and Xia Hongsheng also stayed in the place where they were going to stop the Japanese army for the first time. (To be continued.) )
