Chapter 681: Conquest (3)
Before sunset, the army crossed the Shinano River, in view of the fact that it was late, the army had to set up camp, according to the original intention of Shinoyama Ichiro, the army should be galloping day and night to help Nagaoka, but the army is really very tired, if it is really day and night, I am afraid that there will be no combat power left when the city of Changgang is down.
When night fell, the east bank of the Shinano River saw a spring fire lit up like a dense star, and the soldiers of the Yamatai army gathered around the spring fire while eating dry food and chatting, and some of them simply fell asleep.
As the night deepened, the camp of the Yamatai Army gradually quieted down.
"King, you haven't rested yet!" Honda Tadakatsu, who had returned from the night patrol, saw that Ichiro Himiya was still looking at the map, and couldn't help but ask.
Beiya Zuoichiro sighed and said without worry: "The Wei army has extremely strong attack power!" I'm really worried that Naoe-kun won't be able to resist! ”
Honda Tadakatsu comforted: "The king doesn't have to worry too much! The walls of Changgang City are tall and strong, and there are countless defensive weapons, and Naoe Jun still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands! It is impossible for the Wei army to attack it in a short time! ”
Then he patted his chest and said in a proud voice: "King, as soon as our army arrives in the city, I will bring Xiahou Yuan's head to see you."
Seeing Honda Tadakatsu say this, Kiya Saichiro couldn't help but be arrogant, "Yo Xi! There are many kings, why is this king afraid of the Wei army? ”
Beimizuoichiro's face was straight, and he advised: "However, I heard that Xiahou Yuan is a rare fierce general in the Wei army, although this king believes that General Honda is unparalleled in the world, but he must not be careless!" ”
Honda Tadakatsu clenched his fists and promised, but in his heart he was very unimpressed.
Koya Saichiro's gaze returned to the map in front of him and said, "At the current rate, it will take at least three days for our army to reach Changgang!" That's not going to work! Honda-kun, you will lead all the light cavalry to go ahead early tomorrow morning, and strive to reach Changgang City within one day!" ”
Honda Tadakatsu nodded. Hong Sheng promised.
At this moment, a sudden fire was stirring outside, and a chaotic noise came.
The two of them couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly ran out of the big tent, and saw that the direction of their 10,000 light cavalry was in flames, and the neighing of horses was mixed with the swagger of hooves and collisions. It's chaotic.
Without waiting for Beiya Zuo Ichiro to come over, an earth-shattering shout of killing suddenly sounded all around, mixed with the thunderous sound of iron hooves galloping.
The two were shocked and thought of a situation at the same time.
At this moment, an Evil Horse Taiwanese Army general stumbled and ran to Zuoichiro Himiya with a frightened face, and knelt down with a plop, "Oh no, my lord!" Wei Jun, it's Wei Jun!! ”
"Nari?!" Himiya left Ichiro lost an inch when he boarded.
"The King. There are certainly not many enemies! Fight back now, and you might be able to turn defeat into victory! Honda Tadakatsu shouted urgently.
Zuoichiro Himiya was shocked, "Yes, yes, yes!" Honda-kun, you immediately urge the teams to fight back! ”
Honda Tadakatsu went to answer the promise and hurried down.
A group of 5,000 Wei light cavalry, led by a fierce general as a majestic bear, broke through like a fierce wind from the east of the camp of the Yamatai army, and then swept in a column, unstoppable. Everywhere they passed, the Evil Horse and Taiwan Army were like wheat seedlings in a rolling torrent.
The fierce general who led this cavalry was none other than Xiahou Yuan, a general who had not been seen for a long time. In fact, he acted at the same time as Gan Ning and the others, leading 60,000 troops to directly attack Yamatai City across the sea, while Xiahou Yuan took a navy ship around a big circle and went straight to Changgang, the strategic stronghold of the Yamatai army.
The 5,000 cavalry led by Xiahou Yuan suddenly met the infantry of the Evil Horse Taiwan Army who counterattacked nearly 10,000 times, and the leading general of the Evil Horse Taiwan Army was the first Meng general of the Evil Horse Taiwan Army, Honda Tadatsu.
Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but get excited, raised his big knife and roared, and the war horse under his crotch seemed to feel the master's monstrous battle intent. The speed of running was even faster, and the five thousand light cavalry shouted violently, and the momentum of the entire cavalry team was raised by another point.
The 5,000 light cavalry slammed into the front of the infantry of the Yamatai Army, and the infantry of the Yamatai Army, which was scattered in formation, was rushed to pieces.
The light cavalry wielded their blades and chased mercilessly after the fleeing Yamatai soldiers. The scene was a one-sided massacre where there was a battle.
Xiahou Yuan went straight to Honda Tadashi, the most eye-catching in the Evil Horse Taiwan Army, and the two fought in the chaotic army, Honda Tadashi brandished a spear and screamed towards Xiahou Yuan to kill, his eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were wide, and his momentum was very amazing.
The two horses staggered like lightning, and at this moment, the fierce head of Honda Tadakatsu soared into the sky.
Honda Tadakatsu's headless corpse fell under the horse, and the soldiers of the Evil Horse Taiwan Army, who were already distraught around them, couldn't help but feel dead, didn't think about anything, dropped their weapons, and fled vigorously.
Xiahou Yuan took a look at the headless corpse of Honda Tadashi with a blood-dripping broadsword, smiled proudly, returned to the horse and picked up Honda Tadashi's head, hung it on the saddle, and then urged the war horse back to the middle of the cavalry.
Xiahou Yuan let out a shout suddenly, and the thousands of light cavalry who were chasing and killing the enemy's rout immediately converged.
Xiahou Yuan pointed the long knife in his hand in the direction of the Chinese army of the Evil Horse Taiwan Army, and shouted: "Rush over with the general, and capture the enemy chief alive!" ”
"Heh!!" All the soldiers shouted together.
Xiahou Yuan led 5,000 light cavalry to kill the commander of the Yamatai army, and the Yamatai army, which was already completely chaotic, could not resist the rush of the Wei army's light cavalry.
At the same time, the Wei infantry and cavalry that attacked from the north and west also routed the enemy troops in front of them and killed the Yamatai army in depth.
The camp of the 40,000-strong army of the Yamatai has been completely chaotic, the flames are shaking everywhere, the frightened horses of the Yamatai people are scurrying around, and the Yamatai army that has lost its armor is like a headless fly scurrying around, as soon as they see the Wei army, they immediately turn around and flee elsewhere, at this time the Yamatai army has no desire to fight at all, and they have degenerated into a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
The sky gradually brightened, the battle that lasted all night was over, the fire in the camp had been extinguished, the residual smoke was floating weakly, tens of thousands of corpses were densely scattered in the camp, many prisoners of the Evil Horse Army were cleaning the battlefield under the surveillance of the Wei army, and a group of prisoners were dejected and gathered in one place under the surveillance of the Wei army.
Xiahou Yuan was full of emotion at everything in front of him, and there was still an unfinished taste in the tiger's eyes.
"General, the 40,000 Yamatai army was basically annihilated by the Yamatai army, and less than 10,000 people escaped across the Shinano River and fled in the direction of Mt. Shirane!" Adjutant General Xue Jian rushed to inspect and report.
Xiahou Yuan couldn't help laughing, and then ordered: "Xue Jian, you immediately lead five thousand light cavalry to cross the Shinano River to pursue the rout of the Shinano Zuoichiro!" His grandfather's! I can't imagine that this bullshit Evil Horse King can run so fast! ”
Xue Jian promised and immediately hit the horse and went down.
Xiahou Yuan ordered Zhang Zu, the deputy general beside him: "Zhang Zu, you lead five thousand foot soldiers and two thousand light cavalry to escort the prisoners, if these prisoners make trouble on the road, don't be soft!" ”
Xiahou Yuan's eyes shone with a hideous light, and Zhang Zu clenched his fists in agreement. (To be continued.) )
