Chapter 1117: The cavalry swept through Hamgyo like fire
readx;
Hamgyong Province is mountainous, close to Changbai Mountain, there is no flat land, such a place, there is really no point in occupying it, Kato Kiyoshi led the army to show his rapid advance, cut some heads to show martial arts, and then retreated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
One hundred and fifty miles away from Hamhung Province, Hamgyong Province, is the front-line outpost of the Second Army of the Japanese Invaders, a small village, in which more than 300 people are placed.
The southern part of Hamgyong Province is okay, the rich families are all there, the north of Hamgyong Province is all stopped, land, and there are some escaped households and hunters to live, there is no oil and water at all, and the Kou stationed in this small village is also living a hard life, although it is on the mountainside, the traffic is also convenient, but it is not as good as in the time of the Wa Kingdom.
From the samurai who led the team to the ashigaru below, everyone complained, but there was no way, who let them be from the country, such a role was not placed in the eyes of those who were born in the samurai, although the food transported was relatively poor, but it could still ensure that they were full, and if they ate well, they had to go to the mountains to find a way.
A few Ashigaru who were hunters on the Wa side of the country regularly went hunting in the mountains, and the samurai who led the team also gave them a holiday in order to eat some meat and allowed them to do it.
Speaking of which, it is almost April, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the animals in the mountains are the thinnest at this time, but they are better than nothing, and those who hunt go into the mountains to "patrol the ......" and wait at the door.
I also vaguely heard that it was said that the battle was big on the side of Pyongan Road, and even the city of Pyongan was lost, but I also heard that the army was defeated by several halls under Seoul, and 10,000 people died, and the main general was also beheaded, but Hamgyong Province is still peaceful here, and the Second Army is still sending troops to harass, so it seems that Hamgyong Road is still safe and peaceful.
Because it is an outpost, you can see the mountain pass in front of the gate and from the watchtower, and it is a necessary way to get out of the mountains from north to south.
"Someone came out, someone came out!"
The left and right are bitter, and they don't go out to reconnoiter from time to time, so they stay in the village to look, which is considered to be a sentry, and the people who are watching from the heights shout loudly there...... The people gathered to look, not knowing what kind of prey the hunters could bring back today, and a few horsemen who came out of the mountain pass could not see the color of their clothes from a distance, but only saw them stop and look at the mountain pass.
There were people everywhere in the village, but soon this expectation turned into panic, and more and more cavalry poured out from the mountain pass, where their own families went out to hunt, and it was clearly an enemy attack.
"Enemy, enemy......
The Japanese ashigaru on the watchtower shouted in panic, several samurai ran out, and when they saw the cavalry brigade gushing out from the mountain pass, their faces were also white, and the momentum of the cavalry brigade was clearly coming here, and a samurai shook his head fiercely, and shouted loudly there: "Go and report to the legion chief, and the rest of the people close the gate and prepare for battle, prepare for battle!" ”
It is true that more and more cavalry rushed out, but the speed of the brigade was normal, and only a few hundred horsemen rushed towards this small village outpost.
Kiyomasa Kato! The road swept past, there was no resistance at all, and there was a mountain barrier here, so the construction of the village was also a camp, there was no danger, and naturally it could not delay the movement of the cavalry team.
The Japanese soldiers in the high places could already see the appearance of the cavalry, and there was no armor on their bodies, but they were wrapped in leather robes and cloth clothes on the outside, and the manes of the horses were not trimmed much, just like the bandits and bandits, with a fur hat buttoned on their heads, although they had never seen such a thing, they had heard of it.
"Uliangha, Uliangha!"
The cavalry of the other side was close enough to the village, and everyone could even clearly see that on the side of the saddle of the first few cavalrymen, there were bloody heads, although they could not see clearly, but how could they look like the heads of those who went out hunting.
In such a small fortification, there are not even iron cannons on it, but there are bows and arrows, and in a hurry, I still know that I can shoot arrows with bows and arrows.
The cavalry who rushed over had excellent riding skills, and they could still dodge and move on their horses, avoiding the bows and arrows that came over, in the end, there were only a dozen bows and arrows in this small village.
After approaching, these knights on the horse directly opened their bows and arrows and began to bow, and several of the Japanese ashigaru standing on the high place could not react and were shot down directly, those knights ran directly around the village, and constantly shot the bow and arrow into it, and there was a ghost crying wolf howl inside, and many ashigaru were ready to go up to the wall to resist, but were killed by the arrows that were shot into.
The knights in leather robes ran around, and the village was already much quieter, and someone wanted to sneak up, and an arrow was shot outside.
The surrounding cavalry dispersed, and before the people inside could breathe a sigh of relief, more than a dozen iron claws and iron hooks were thrown to the front gate, these claw hooks were connected to the horses with ropes, slightly aligned and prepared, and with a shout, more than a dozen horses drove together, and the gate of the walled gate, which had no preparatory reinforcement measures, creaked, and several horizontal pieces of wood were broken, and the gate was directly pulled off the wooden wall. The gate of the village was dragged farther away, without waiting for the people inside to come out and block it, these knights were already shouting and rushing in, the ashigaru people in the village were already panicked, just in front of a person who couldn't dodge, and was directly chopped down with iron bones, this iron bones are a thick wooden stick staring at nails, wrapped in iron sheets, and smashed down condescendingly on the horse, even if the iron armor and iron helmets can't stop it, not to mention these light bamboo armor, this head is deflated at the moment, and the others are also big knives and axes, chopping melons and cutting vegetables.
Seeing this situation, the samurai generals could not run, and could only grit their teeth and fight to the death, rushing forward with swords and guns, and even approaching the opponent's mount, and directly being shot by the bow and arrow fired from the horse.
That is, as soon as they came into contact, the Ashigaru people, who had been smooth sailing from the beginning, were already frightened, and some fled regardless of it, while others threw their weapons in the corner and surrendered on their knees.
Those who fled there, those who surrendered there, and those who surrendered knelt there, just to make those leather-robed cavalrymen bend over their horses more widely, the same is to smash and slash, trying to escape, there are so many cavalry outside, what luck can make you a fish that slips through the net.
……
"Tsk, this guy is really fast, it's almost finished!"
The generals of the Ma Sanbiao and the horse team hugged Wang Tong, looking up at the battle in the small village on the side of the road, how it was inside, these battle-hardened people didn't care, they were all calculating the time, and it didn't take long to see a cadre of people walking out with a head or something, and many people were stained with blood, obviously killing them.
"Mo Rigen and Batu are here, why are you so easy to say!"
Wang Tong scolded, Ma Sanbiao didn't care, he said with a smile: "Usually I call it that, when I drink, these two little ones still call themselves!" ”
Everyone laughed, people who don't care just don't care, Wang Tong just said casually, the place he focused on was the battle on the mountain, he said in a deep voice: "Wildness, the key is this wildness, with this, even if there is no formal training, it will make them strong warriors." ”
"Dashuai, it can't be said that there is no training, the Jurchens have not reached the autumn and winter, they are gathering people to fish and hunt, this is actually training."
Chihei, who released horses for Wang Tong back then, is now also a military general of the fourth grade, with a guerrilla title, but the Mongolian Han of that year is now almost fifty, and Lao Cheng is very steady, after he finished speaking, Wang Tong nodded.
"Dashuai, there are three Japanese robbers who escaped in advance to report the news, do you want to chase them?"
A young cavalry guard came to report, but it was the younger brother of the Whit family, Wang Tong shook his head, and said with a smile: "Why do you want to chase, let him tell that Kato, Kato can't escape and will run into the tiger's head Da Geng, if you don't escape, you have to gather troops, it is just convenient for us to attack." ”
Listening to what Wang Tong said, everyone laughed along, but there was a gray-bearded Jurchen surrounded by several young people, everyone stopped, Wang Tong waved his hand and asked them to go everywhere to arrange, the old man was about to dismount and salute when he arrived, Wang Tong smiled and said: "Sulihai, you are old, you don't have to toss so much, just talk immediately, have you got the first-grade silver?" ”
The old man knew how to do it very well, his movements were also vigorous, and he dismounted and kowtowed in a proper manner, and then said under the horse: "The handsome man is really a great grace, and it is already a mountain-high kindness to lead us to revenge, so that the little ones still have silver, I really don't know how to thank you." ”
Wang Tong said with a smile on the horse: "Beheading is a military merit, you can do what you have to do, your people are brave, and there will be a reward for bravery." ”
"Dashuai sees their bravery, why don't you let them follow Dashuai in the future?"
Wang Tong was stunned, stared at Sulihai for a few moments, and asked with a leisurely smile: "There are dead and wounded in the war, besides, those who were originally gathered in one place have to be scattered, are you willing to do it?" ”
This Su Lihai also has the rank of commander, and he is also a highly respected elder in their Haixi region, to put it bluntly, he is one of the biggest local heroes, and his speech often represents the local voice, Su Lihai sighed and said: "What is there to be reluctant to, the children used to stay here, they have never seen the world, and now they earn more silver, and they know that the world outside is big, and they all want to go out and break through, and the small ones are not easy to stop, in fact, they don't hide from the big handsome, if the young ones are ten or twenty years old, they also have to go to the vast world outside." ”
Wang Tong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's rare for you to see for yourself, there are people like you in your clan, it's Dafu Mao!" ”,
