Chapter 286, 287 Improper cannon fodder, leave alone (two in one)(1/2)

There were as many as 10,000 people in the Goryeo Army that Wanhu Chang Park Chu landed. There was no need to dispatch Jingui heavy cavalry at all. The reason why he played this ace at the beginning was to take this opportunity to polish the heavy cavalry.

Amid the sound of the dongdong war drums, eight hundred Korean cavalry equipped with heavy cavalry, everyone holding a spear, like an iron wall, rumbling towards the Japanese army opposite.

The Goryeo Infantry was also divided into two teams, one was three thousand archers and the other was five thousand gunmen. Three thousand archers were drawn in the back formation, and the five thousand gunmen followed closely behind the heavy cavalry and trotted forward slowly.

Almost all of the tens of thousands of troops were moving, but they were like a lion fighting against a rabbit. They could do their best if they wanted to have a blow.

Zong Shengming had less than 4,000 people, most of them were still peasant soldiers who had no protection or even iron soldiers. The military formation did not have large shields and spears to protect the cavalry. How could it resist the thunderous Goryeo army?

Moreover, the Goryeo Army is a group-based combat, and the front is the heavy cavalry with the strongest protection. How to launch a "one-cavalry"?

"Kill the chicken!" Zong Shengming, who had no experience in group command, could only wave the sword sadly and lead the way to rush towards the Goryeo army.

"Seven lives serve the country! Took the blocks and blocks!" Zong Shengming's only one hundred cavalry warriors also rushed forward with their swords and wielded their horses.

"Seven lives serve the country! Meeting in the underworld!" Three or four hundred warriors roared hysterically and rushed forward.

But ironically, although there were thousands of people shouting to follow the throne and peasant soldiers behind them, more than two thousand people still poked their faces in the same place with pale faces.

"Nani?! Baga!" Zong Shengming had just rushed out seven or eight feet, and felt that the movement behind him was too small. He couldn't help but look back and saw that more than two thousand people were not following him.

Zong Shengming's face suddenly became extremely difficult to see.

Originally, as long as thousands of people died here in a heroic battle, his goal would be achieved. When Yuan Kou saw that even the people of the Kingdom of God were desperate, their belief in occupying and ruling the Kingdom of God would definitely be shaken.

But now, at a critical moment, these damn red deer are actually afraid of death and are unable to move forward!

In this way, the sacrifices of the warriors were completely worthless. When the Yuan Kou saw that the people were afraid, he was more confident in occupying the kingdom of God.

Zong Shengming felt a burning hot face. The man who was about to die was so ashamed and angry that he was about to faint. At this moment, his hatred for those feared people was even better than the enemies in front of him.

If I had known this, I should have set up the array honestly and defended with all my strength. At least it wouldn't be so ugly.

Zong Shengming hated the peasant soldiers who were stagnant, but the peasant soldiers felt extremely bitter.

We are just farmers, without any armor and iron tools, and we never saw the samurai in the field collecting less grain. When the samurai drinks and eats meat, we never reward them. The Daizaifu and the shogunate do not care about our lives and deaths, and force us to die. Why?

When the warriors die, they will kill themselves and sacrifice gloriously. There will be shrines to worship them. What about us peasants? Even the evil gods will not remember us, right?

Just the next moment when Zong Shengming was furious, someone among the peasant soldiers shouted, as if they were "escape". Then, more than two thousand peasant soldiers were like bombing a camp, and with a "boom", they scattered their legs and fled back.

This is just a matter in the blink of an eye, and in fact, it is impossible to let Zong Shengming think too much.

"Shoot the arrow!" After the Goryeo military formation, a murderous sound came. Then, there was a loud "buzz" sound, which was the sound of thousands of bows and arrows firing at the same time.

Before the warriors could collide with the heavy cavalry, the rain of arrows from the Goryeo army poured in.

Three thousand feathered arrows fell from the air and immediately covered more than a thousand Japanese troops. Although most of the Japanese troops rushing up had armor, they were light armor and leather armor, and they were not equipped with shields. How to resist the dense rain of arrows?

There was only a sound of "Puchi" sound, and hundreds of warriors and stingers were tilted over the horse. A warrior was shot into an arrow in his eyes. It neighed, and its body suddenly slammed into pain, throwing the warrior on the horse's back.

The already thin Japanese stormtrooper suddenly became even more sparse. Zong Shengming had a feather arrow inserted into his armor, but he was not injured.

"Kill the chicken and give it to you! Punch the building!" The man's crazy dance and squeaked his horse, squeaking and screaming, reflecting the flags behind him and the exaggerated helmet, which fully interpreted the character of the hero on the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, with a "boom", the heavy cavalry in the equipment collided with Zong Shengming's team.

The next moment when the two armies collided, hundreds of warriors and feet were knocked away and pierced by spears. The thin and sparse team was like a piece of paper being torn to pieces.

However, Zong Shengming, who was extremely brave, was the male protagonist after all. While his mount was about to hit the heavy rider in the opposite direction, he suddenly jumped up from the horse and rushed towards the Koryo Knight opposite. The cold sword shining with a shining cold, stabbed the Koryo Knight's unprotected eyes.

Death attack, and death together!

Battle of one cavalry! Good job! Zong Shengming's fighting spirit is boiling, like a god or demon possession.

The Goryeo Knight was covered in iron armor and reacted very slowly. The spear in his hand had no time to adjust the direction to attack. He could not have imagined that Zong Shengming would play like this.

With a "puff" sound, a scream came at the same time, Zong Shengming's sword stabbed into the exposed eyes of the Koryo Knight, piercing the other person's entire head. Zong Shengming himself jumped to the other person's right away.

Sensing the pleasure of the blade drinking the enemy's blood and brain, Zong Shengming was so excited that he was crazy, but before he could pull out the sword, his body suddenly flew up.

The spear of a heavy knight blasted his armor and pierced his vigorous heart. The arrogant force brought by horse speed drove him into the air.

Zong Shengming screamed, Taidao took off his hand and fell to the ground. Before he could even take a look at the Goryeo heavy cavalry that killed him, he sank into the boundless darkness. In a blink of an eye, his body was stepped into an untouched form by the thunderous horse hooves.

The hero on the battlefield finally ended.

There are many warriors like Zong Shengming who "fighted with one horse" to death, and they also brought a limited number of casualties to the Goryeo heavy cavalry.

The situation on this battlefield is ultimately a one-sided massacre.

As the Goryeo Infantry Brigade stepped forward to encircle and suppress the hundreds of Japanese troops in a blink of an eye were all wiped out.

On the bloody battlefield, Japanese troops were everywhere, and the ragged flag-bearing.

The casualties of the Goryeo army were only a few cavalry equipped with cavalry.

When the two armies fight, the more people the more people the fewer they die. The less people the more they die. Especially when the scattered soldiers fight, because there are more people, you can siege one, and the difference in the war loss rate is of course very large.

This is the importance of the military formation. Excellent generals can use the military formation to make up for the disadvantages of their troops, try to make more attacking soldiers from their own sides, and try to keep more enemy soldiers who cannot output attacks idle.

Generals who do not understand the military formation often have the advantage of military strength. When fighting against the enemy, only some of the troops are outputting attacks. The soldiers in front are fighting bloody battles, while the soldiers in the back are unable to get in. They are idle there and cannot effectively catch the enemy. They fight to the point of making a tactic of adding fuel to the enemy.

Therefore, even if the troops are at an absolute disadvantage, the local troops must be guaranteed.

If Zong Shengming gathered more than 1,000 troops into a tight hollow defense formation, although the entire army would eventually be wiped out, there would definitely be a large number of injuries to the Goryeo Army.

In the eyes of the Yuan army, the first battle in Japan was really not decent, and the enemy was too weak. Especially after more than half of the enemy troops actually escaped at the battle, the powerful Yuan army was full of confidence.

If Zong Shengming knew that his "tactic tactic" had actually brought the opposite effect, he would probably be so angry that he would be alive.

At this time, more than two thousand peasant soldiers who had scattered in a hurry before were fleeing, and even their shadows could not be seen.

The Yuan army units also organized landings one after another. The last landings were the Mongolian cavalry and Xindu.

"Master General, the Japanese army on this island has been completely wiped out, but some farmers have escaped." Jin Fangqing reported to Xindu in a stiff Mongolian language.

"The warriors never put down their scimitars and idled their bows and arrows because of their cowardice and incompetence. Jin Shuai, let the Korean warriors clean up all the Japanese on the island." Xindu said coldly.

This is to massacre, which is the usual style of the Mongolian generals.

With the issuance of Xindu's military orders, the brigade of Yuan troops went deep into the island and searched for islanders everywhere.

No matter whether men, women, old or weak, they will not be spared as long as they see them.

The cruel massacre lasted until dusk, and most of the tens of thousands of people on the island became ghosts of the Yuan army. Those who escaped before were eventually killed.

When Li Luo saw the village that became a hell on earth, he had no feelings in his heart.

This is just the beginning. More people will die, many, many.

Seeing the proud look of the Yuan army generals, Li Luo secretly despised him. Humph, do you think the Japanese country is really a soft persimmon? You have something to suffer from behind. When the elite Japanese troops in Jiuzhou gather together, you can't swallow it no matter how good you are.

Li Luo made up his mind not to follow the main force of the Yuan army to attack the seaside stone wall, which was waiting for the battle, and that would be a waste of his troops.

If you want to fight, let Xindu and Jin Fangqing fight. He is a fourth-rank guard, and he will not join forces.

As for the reason to lead the army to leave and watch the show aside, he had already thought of it.

Tsushima Island was a material transfer station for the Yuan army to conquer Japan, and it was supposed to be divided into troops to guard Tsushima Island. However, during the previous military discussion, Xindu refused to divide his troops to guard Tsushima Island.

Xindu’s reason is that the Japanese army will not divide its precious forces to come to Tsuma Island again. Even if it comes, it will not have much force, and the Yuan army can retake it at any time.

Jin Fangqing advised, "Master, this pair of horse islands can be used to hoard domestic follow-up military supplies and replenish the front at any time. How can we not guard it?"

Xindu sneered, "The military supplies of the Japanese people are the military supplies of the Great Yuan Warriors. The military supplies we have are enough. Even if it is not enough, the Japanese people have them."

The Goryeo generals looked at each other but did not persuade them again.

Of course, Li Luo would not persuade him. He just wanted to persuade him, but he was not qualified to speak.

Isn’t the Mongolian army always like this when fighting? They keep seizing the enemy’s military supplies and don’t care about the transportation of food and grass. This is because of the tactics of food on the enemy, they also make them extremely mobile and have low dependence on logistics.

As long as there are people, the Mongolian army is not afraid of not having food.

The Yuan army repaired Tsuma Island for two days, let the war horses eat a lot of grass, then set sail south, leaving Tsuma Island, which had become a ghost.

On June 9, the Yuan army captured Iki Island.

Iki Island is smaller, with a smaller population and military strength. In just half a day, it was slaughtered by the Yuan army.

The capture of Iki means that the Yuan army has reached the gate of the Japanese Kingdom. The Iki Strait is located in Kyushu, which is dozens of miles away.

However, the Yuan army did not continue to move south, but stayed on Iki Island. Because, according to the established strategy, the Eastern Army had to wait for the Jiangnan Army on Iki Island, and after the two armies met, they would attack Kyushu Daizaifu.

According to the plan, the Jiangnan Army will come in a few days.

But only Li Luo knew that the Jiangnan Army would not come for a while. Because of this or that, the Jiangnan Army would not come to meet until July.

Next, Xindu, who was anxious, would lead the Eastern Route Army to attack the coast of Jiuzhou alone, but as a result, he would be bleeding from his head under the stone wall by the sea, and he could not land and floated on the sea for nearly a month.

When the Jiangnan Army arrived late and the two armies met, they still had no choice but to get the stone fort by the sea. The Yuan army was unable to get ashore for a long time and could not play the advantages of the cavalry group at all.

I spent just until August 1st, but I was so desperate that I waited for the hurricane.

Therefore, in order not to be cannon fodder, Li Luo must lead his troops to work alone.

In the evening, after the military congress of the Goryeo Camp ended, Li Luo stayed alone, and he wanted to convince Jin Guangqing.

"Shang Luo Gong, I have a word that I don't say anything, so I won't be happy if I don't say anything. Please give me some advice." No other generals were present, Li Luo directly called "Shang Luo Gong" who brought the relationship closer.

Jin Fangqing said lightly, "Come and listen."

Li Luo said solemnly, "Our army is so powerful that the Japanese army will definitely be vulnerable. However, I think that there may be a Japanese navy in the south of Jiuzhou to capture our army's retreat. What if the Japanese navy occupy the horse and cut off our army's connection with the country?"
