Just as the atmosphere of gunpowder between Liu and Zhu continued to brew, far away in Japan, a shocking battle came to an end!
Following the strategy discussed by the generals and counselors, the Han army sent cavalry deep into the hinterland of Japan and at the same time sent naval forces to draw out Japanese naval forces to fight with them.
However, in the battle at sea, although the Han side relied on the advantage of its ships and armor to win, it was still weak in terms of military strength and suffered many losses.
Fortunately, although they paid a high price, the gains were substantial, and the gains were enough to be worth the price they paid for it.
After this battle, it can be said that the Japanese navy was reduced to ten, while the Han navy was able to attack the coastal areas of the Japanese country at will. This alone gave the Han side a huge advantage.
Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Oda Nobunaga and others are indeed the leading figures in the history of Japan. The strategy they came up with to deal with the Han army by using defense as offense really hit the weakness of the Han army.
, keeping a close eye on the Han side's issues regarding food and grass.
If the Japanese country really continues to implement this strategy, I am afraid that once it reaches the end, the mighty expeditions of the various princes on the Han side will really be forced to withdraw due to food and grass problems!
However, now, the Han army also struck at their weak point. The rear was empty, but they suffered large-scale damage from the Han army. It was impossible for these big names to ignore it, and they did not dare to ignore it.
After all, in the final analysis, they are not a force, but an alliance composed of many famous names.
The rear of some daimyo was not attacked by the Han army, but the rear of some daimyo was wantonly destroyed by the Han army. Those daimyo who had nothing to do in the rear naturally looked relaxed and were happy to watch the show, but those who vomited blood behind their backs
It is impossible to be so relaxed, each one is like an ant on a hot pot, wishing to fly back immediately with reinforcements.
Fortunately, Takeda Shingen, the leader of the alliance, still has some prestige, and he also has a good view of the overall situation. He immediately promised many daimyo that he would send reinforcements to the rear, and this was how he stabilized those daimyo!
After all, if there is a sneak attack on the rear but they ignore it, the famous names whose backyards are on fire may immediately withdraw from the alliance to deal with the problems behind them!
Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly apart when disaster strikes. Even husband and wife are like this, let alone these daimyo! If these daimyo were selfless, they would not be able to become daimyo! They would not be seriously injured behind their backs.
Despite the destruction, he also helped other daimyo fight here!
As a result, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, and Oda Nobunaga, the three most important figures in the alliance, also started a division of labor, and the leader of the alliance, Takeda Shingen, continued to deal with the main force of the Han army here.
Among everyone, Takeda Shingen is also the most qualified to take on this important task. After all, Takeda Shingen is the nominal leader of the alliance elected by everyone. Moreover, the title of the number one general of the Warring States Period is not just for words.
Yes, it was fought with real swords and guns in history.
Moreover, if we talk about uniting troops in combat, even Oda Nobunaga is not Takeda Shingen's opponent.
Oda Nobunaga was responsible for bringing reinforcements back to deal with the Han cavalry that penetrated deep into their hinterland. After these Han cavalry penetrated deep into their rear, they did not intend to occupy it at all, but exposed their purpose of naked destruction!
Especially Chang Yuchun, the leader of this cavalry, has completely let himself go this time. When he was in the Han Dynasty, for various reasons, he had to hold back his murderous intentions.
But after coming to this Japanese country, there are not so many requirements!
Not to mention, the purpose of Chang Yuchun's cavalry appearance this time was to destroy as much as possible. The more thorough the destruction, the better. The more thorough Chang Yuchun's destruction was, the more eager the Japanese were to return aid.
Only by dispersing the forces of Japan can Bai Qi be more confident in breaking through the defense lines that Japan has deployed around Izumo.
Moreover, out of concern that all the enemy troops were cavalry, Takeda Shingen no longer hid it for the sake of the overall situation, and temporarily lent his most precious unit, the Takeda Akabi Corps, to Oda Shingen.
long.
During Japan's war-torn Warring States Period, countless famous warriors and admirable elite troops were born.
Among them, especially the Akabi cavalry under Takeda Shingen are the most famous. The so-called "Akabe" refers to the red armor. Because Japan has been influenced by China, China regards red as precious, and Japan naturally regards red as precious.
The core of the Red Guards is the cavalry with the most noble status in Japan.
They are famous for wearing red armor, galloping across the battlefield, and bursting out with powerful impact. In Japan's Taiga drama, the Takeda Akabi Cavalry is always the most stylish, handsome and cool existence.
Takeda Shingen only pays attention to one word in his military use - "quickness". As the saying goes, "Speed is the most important thing in soldiers." To use his favorite "The Art of War" from Sun Tzu, it means "it is as fast as the wind." As soon as the Takeda family's red troops appeared on the scene,
It showed extremely strong strength.
In 1555 AD, a conflict broke out between Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen of the Echigo Kingdom, which was known in history as the Second Battle of Kawanakajima. In this battle, the Red Army defeated the Uesugi family with only a weak force of 800 people.
A vanguard force of up to 8,000 people.
After several battles since then, the cavalry of the Red Guards made great contributions to the Takeda family. In the original battle of the three parties, one of Takeda Shingen's vanguard cavalry of the Red Guards beat the famous Tokugawa Ieyasu until he fled. No matter where he came from,
From a perspective, the cavalry of the Red Guards can be called the strongest cavalry unit in ancient Japan.
As for the last Uesugi Kenshin, his mission was to find ways to strengthen the sea defense line and prevent the Han navy from destroying the Japanese coasts.
In the past, the Japanese daimyo often used their subordinates to seize pirates and destroy other daimyo's territories. Therefore, the Japanese nation still had some experience in maritime defense.
However, this is an island country, and there are areas where you can log in everywhere. Such a long coastline has raised the difficulty of what Uesugi Kenshin wants to do to every peak.
Kenshin Uesugi's mission is definitely not any easier than that of Nobunaga Oda!
When Oda Nobunaga and Uesugi Kenshin took away a large number of Japanese soldiers and horses, at this time, Bai Qi finally began to prepare for the next war!
