Indeed, as Li Xiaogong said, after the 100,000 troops of the Japanese State were ambushed, they did not change their route, but accelerated their speed, hurried overnight, and continued to march forward after resting for only a few hours. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The spies have been following the Japanese army and reporting the movements of the Japanese army to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong took 500 Tang soldiers to hide in the mountains, waiting for the Japanese army to pass by.

Because the Japanese army only rested for a few hours at night, they hurried to the road, so it was less than three days before the Japanese army arrived.

Li Xiaogong stood on the mountain, looked down with a telescope, and saw that the Wa Kingdom had learned a little smarter this time, and a circle of shield soldiers was arranged on the periphery, and he walked on the outermost side with a huge shield as a defense. However, how can that mere shield be able to block the power of firearms if it is not a giant shield made of new steel by Datang.

The Japanese army suddenly picked up speed, let go of its legs and feet, and ran quickly, quickly through the mountains and forests.

"The country was frightened." Li Xiaogong smiled and said in a low voice: "Seeing that the terrain here seems to be conducive to ambush, I ran over." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "The chief manager is wise, keep the ambush locations farther away, and wait for the Wa Kingdom to relax a little, and just encounter another ambush." ”

"Order, when the Japanese army has passed, follow them." Li Xiaogong ordered: "Don't follow too closely. ”

The Japanese army quickly ran by, and after waiting for a while, the five hundred soldiers followed, not galloping on horseback, but following from a distance, so that the Japanese army would not be noticed. And if there are conditions, with the mobility of Datang Jingqi, you can quickly catch up.

After several days of marching, the Japanese army did not have much rest in between, and even ate dry food during the day, and ate on foot. After resting for just over two hours in the evening, he got up again and continued his journey.

In this way, the time that would have been needed was cut in half, and the Japanese army reached the second ambush point.

Li Xiaogong climbed high and looked, only to hear the roar of artillery in the distance and thick smoke billowing out. The shouts seemed to be faintly heard from so far away, and the fire gradually spread, and then gradually extinguished, and there was no movement.

"I'm just afraid that the Japanese are in a panic at the moment." Li Xiaogong immediately made a decision and said: "Soldiers, follow this king to rush to the past, remember not to fight, we will kill from behind, come out from front, and then leave directly." This move is a suspicious tactic, just to disturb the Japanese people, not to kill the enemy, just rush over! If there is a thunderstorm left, you can throw some of them. ”

"Yes!" The generals commanded.

Immediately five hundred men mounted their horses and galloped wildly. Xia Hongsheng touched his underwear, pressed the golden silk soft armor, felt a little more at ease, and immediately rushed forward.

Datang's war horses are carefully selected and cultivated, and they run fast. After a short time, you can already see the Japanese soldiers who have broken down in the future. Li Xiaogong took the lead, wielding a lance while rushing over, like a gale, where it passed, a little blood floated, and those Japanese routs who had not had time to react were picked up and killed to the ground.

The Tang soldiers behind him slashed with sabers in their hands, like a torrent of blades, and like a swift meat grinder, rushing past from the rout of the Japanese army. The Tang soldiers don't care if they die or not, they just leave as soon as they pass by.

Rushing to the half-point, the Japanese soldiers finally began to counterattack, bows and arrows were shot over, only to see Li Xiaogong's hand turn the long lance, and immediately swept down a rain of arrows to the ground, Xia Hongsheng rushed over after him, but he still had the heart to see the bow and arrow of the Japanese country. The bows and arrows were still wooden, and most of them did not have iron arrows, but were only sharpened. Some have iron arrows, but they are also made roughly, and they are shot on the armor of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and even the armor cannot be penetrated. Xia Hongsheng was surprised at first, and then thought that the iron ore in the country was scarce, and the technology of striking iron was very low, and it was not easy to do this.

The five hundred elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty rushed from back to front along the road from the military formation of the Japanese State like a storm, without looking back, and continued to rush forward.

The Japanese generals were furious and immediately led their troops in pursuit. However, the Japanese soldiers in the panic were uncertain, and their orders were not in order, so they were easy to organize again, and then they went to catch up, but they couldn't catch up, so they could only watch the Tang Dynasty cavalry raise dust in the sky and go away.

kept galloping until the war horse was a little tired, and Li Xiaogong ordered it to stop.

"The Wa Kingdom needs to re-gather its ranks and baggage, it won't come too soon, but you can rest for a while." After Li Xiaogong dismounted, he said to Xia Hongsheng: "Happy! Hahahaha...... It's been a month since the war with the Japanese Kingdom! This king has finally killed it himself! ”

As soon as he heard this, he rested for a while, and Li Xiaogong sent spies to see the movements of the Japanese army.

The soldiers rested, but there were no dead or seriously injured, most of them were skin wounds. And now the Tang Dynasty soldiers have been in Taoism with the efforts of those Taoist military doctors, they all know some first aid and wound treatment knowledge and preparation, and Sun Simiao based on the ancient prescription and his own medical experience to make gold sore medicine, used in the army, so these Tang Dynasty now in the battle due to wound infection deaths have been greatly reduced. After cleaning the wound, apply gold sore medicine, and then tie it with the bandage on the body, it will not become infected and inflamed under normal circumstances.

After resting, continue on the road.

A day later, the spies caught up and reported the situation of the Japanese army to Li Xiaogong and Xia Hongsheng.

As Li Xiaogong thought, the Japanese army did not stop because of the two ambushes, but accelerated even more. From this point, Li Xiaogong's guess is confirmed.

Xia Hongsheng was also very happy, and he ambushed him twice, proving his plan.

In fact, this plan was very risky, and it can be said that the key to the successful implementation of this plan was the most important point -- that is, the Japanese people were frightened by the power of artillery and medicine packets, and they were blown up.

Because of the large number of Japanese troops, if they were not confused, it would not be too difficult to find and surround these 500 people, and then surround and kill them. Two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, no matter how good the Tang soldiers are at fighting and how well they are equipped, the difference between the numbers is too big. Tens of thousands of people against 500 people, even if they bury their corpses, they can bury these 500 Tang Dynasty soldiers.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty soldiers were able to retreat easily without dying was of course related to the mobility of the war horses, but what really allowed these soldiers to retreat smoothly was the "confusion" of the Japanese people, which won time for the retreat of 500 people. In other words, the frenzied, completely inclined delivery and use of ammunition made a large number of attacks gathered in a short period of time and put into the Japanese army formation, making the Japanese panic and helpless, unable to effectively organize to surround the surrounding Tang Dynasty soldiers, which is the key to the smooth retreat of these Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Therefore, when the plan was made before, Li Xiaogong said that Xia Hongsheng's method was to rely on the power of firearms. (To be continued.) )
