The Datang soldiers quickly moved quickly, and the large quantities of such things as medicine bags and gasoline barrels were all used up, and the projectiles were also fired, which greatly reduced the burden of the Datang soldiers. www.biquge.info The original cavalry horses were carrying these baggage, but now that they had no baggage, the soldiers rode their horses again, so that they could evacuate from the ambush point at great speed and quickly break away from the threat range of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was ambushed, suffered heavy casualties, and the power of firearms was too great, so to speak, the Japanese army was stunned by the sudden fierce attack, and it was a tense array of defenses, and it was searching for traces of the Tang army around, and there was no time to chase forward. It also gave these ambushed Datang soldiers time to evacuate.

After a long and hurried march, Li Xiaogong ordered to stop and rest.

"Go, count the numbers!" After Li Xiaogong dismounted, he immediately ordered.

Soon, the number of people was counted, and he came to report to Li Xiaogong, saying: "Back to the general manager, our army has 500 people with minor injuries, and none of them have been killed. ”

"Huh?" Li Xiaogong was taken aback, and turned his head to look at the man: "Can you count it clearly?" ”

"It's clear!" The soldier nodded and replied, "It is true that no one was killed, and those who were slightly wounded only stepped on a slippery stone and twisted their feet when they rushed down the mountain. ”

When Li Xiaogong heard this, he immediately smiled, and laughed: "Hahahaha! Good! It's all good! After winning this battle and returning to Chang'an, the king will repay the merits of all the soldiers to His Majesty and reward them for their deeds! Come, pass my command, rest on the spot for a stick of incense, and then hurry. ”

Five hundred soldiers rested on the spot, Li Xiaogong walked up to Xia Hongsheng and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew, is it really an immortal?!" This king has been fighting horses for half his life, and has experienced no less than a thousand battles in large and small battles, and this is the first time he has encountered several encounters since the opening of the war, and there have been no casualties! This is all thanks to the benefit of firearms made by the virtuous nephew. In the future, I am afraid that the method of Datang will be changed by this. Like this king, this line of thought has been unable to keep up. In the future, the army must be the world of young people who are waiting for these military academies! Hahahaha! …… All right! There are successors in the Tang Army, this is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty, and this king is very pleased! ”

Hehe, this son will not be the successor in the army, this kind of thing should be left to those hot-blooded young people, for example, Li Yexu Cheng and the like. My son is going to teach and chat in Jingyang, bask in the sun and tease the girl, and by the way, take the students to engage in "inventions"!

Although Xia Hongsheng slandered in his heart, he praised it repeatedly.

It can be seen that Li Xiaogong is very happy that there are no dead among the 500 soldiers.

The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and the five hundred soldiers began their rapid march again, hurrying towards the next ambush site. However, these 500 people will not join the 500 people who were originally ambushed there, but will diverge the way, hide, and let the Japanese army pass. Because if they meet too soon, a thousand people will not be able to hide, and it will be too easy to be discovered. And to avoid the Japanese state, you can follow from behind, and when the time comes, see if the situation is allowed, or you can explode a chrysanthemum for the Japanese army from behind.

After a night of rapid marching, Li Xiaogong finally gave another order, and 500 soldiers hid here and hid in the mountains and forests.

The soldiers avoided the mountain road and hid in the primeval mountain forest, leaving only some people to hide around the mountain road and wait for the movement of the Japanese army.

This place was already well known when I went, and it was easy to hide.

After a day's rest, and in the afternoon, one of the spies who had been left behind came back.

"General Qiyu, the Japanese army has searched the surrounding mountains and started to set off again. The speed of its march was quicker than before, and after about three days, the Japanese army was able to march to the next ambush point, excluding the time for the humble's return. The spies said to Li Xiaogong and Xia Hongsheng: "The lowly post came to report to the general, and the other four spies went with the Japanese army. ”

"Do you know what the casualties of the Japanese army were," Xia Hongsheng asked.

The spy turned to Xia Hongsheng and replied: "General Hui, because he has never penetrated into the Japanese army, the specific number cannot be known, and he can only estimate the total number of dead and wounded in the Japanese army to be as much as 30% to 40%. ”

"Okay, let's go down and rest!" Li Xiaogong nodded and let the spy go down.

After the spy went down, Li Xiaogong turned his head to Xia Hongsheng and said, "In this way, it is not much as expected. The first ambush was unsuspecting, and the firearms brought the rest with them, and there were more of them, as they should have been. or the terrain is limited, otherwise it is enough to cause more casualties to the Japanese army. ”

"It's quite a few." Xia Hongsheng nodded: "However, in the future, the Japanese army will be on guard, and the next few ambushes will definitely be smaller than the harvest this time." In addition, it is not known whether the Japanese will be rerouted after being ambushed several times. After all, this is a Japanese country, and there may be other paths. ”

Li Xiaogong smiled, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of him changing his route." First, although the 100,000 troops of the Wa Kingdom were nominally to save Osaka, according to the king, their actual purpose was to block the Tang army as far away from Fujiwara Kyo as possible, so as to gain time for mobilizing troops from all over the country to defend Fujiwara Kyyo, so it was necessary to move forward as soon as possible. In the eyes of the Wa Kingdom, it is best to use these 100,000 people to block us in Osaka, so that Fujiwara Kyo will have time to breathe, mobilize troops from all over the world, and defend the Kyoto Division. Once the route was changed, this road was given to the Tang army, which ran counter to the purpose of the Japanese state, so the Japanese army would definitely not change the course, but would accelerate the march in order to encounter the main force of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, so that the place blocking the itinerary of the Tang army should be as far away from Fujiwara Beijing as possible. Second, even if it is really changed, in the time spent, Zhang Liang's Dengzhou Sailor will also arrive. The Dengzhou Navy Division brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, as well as supplies of projectiles and firearms. If the Japanese army was diverted, Osaka would have been defended by the Dengshu Naval Division. This king has no worries, but he can lead these 3,000 elite horsemen to attack overnight and raid Fujiwara-kyo. ”

"I see!" Xia Hongsheng nodded, he didn't see this, thinking that the 100,000 troops of the Wa Kingdom were just to besiege the Tang army occupying Osaka, and he didn't see that the Wa State was trying to block the advance of the Tang Army through these 100,000 troops, and to win time for the armies from all over the Wa Kingdom to arrive in Fujiwara Jing.

So, ginger is still old and spicy.

"The ambush of the Wa Kingdom means that the Tang army has arrived, which is faster than the plan of the Wa State to block the Tang Army in Osaka, and the Wa State is bound to move forward with the Tang Army at a faster speed to prevent the Tang Army from continuing to advance towards Fujiwara-kyo." Xia Hongsheng said: "So, even if you know that there may be an ambush ahead, the Japanese army can only rush forward?" ”

"Not bad!" Li Xiaogong nodded and smiled: "That's right!" (To be continued.) )
