We agreed to set off in half an hour, but no one from the captain down to the soldiers took us seriously, and they were all dragging their feet.
Until nightfall, Matsushita Yo couldn't bear it anymore.
He grabbed his sword and turned around half a circle with his bodyguard in a murderous manner. Only then did the vanguard leave Tazigou.
As always, the team of 30,000 people turned into a long queue with no beginning or end.
Two hours later, it was already dark and I couldn't see my fingers.
The head of the team has left for more than thirty miles, but the tail is still in the Tazi ditch, playing and singing.
"How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense!"
Matsushita Yang's face turned black and he was so angry that he stabbed people.
"Forget it." Kamikawa quickly stood up to comfort the general who was about to go berserk.
"General, we have been staying in Tazigou for the past few days. Except for the hundreds of Xingluo scouts that occasionally appear in the mountains, there are not many birds nearby at other times."
"It is estimated that the enemy's large forces are gathered near Yuanning Pass and the naval base on the south bank, which are far away from our place."
"Besides, brothers are so hungry that their legs are weak. As long as they can follow the general's orders and start walking, everything will be fine. Please slow down for the rest. Just cross the Hun River before General Jiutang's deadline."
Matsushita Yang measured the map with his hands, and mentally estimated the approximate locations of all parties before nodding helplessly.
About ten miles north.
On an unnamed hill, Xiao Gang held up his telescope and silently stared at the long fire dragon in the south.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Yong came over.
Since Xiao Gang became the eldest son of Uncle Zhongyong, Xiao Zheng gave his son the guards he had grown up with since childhood.
It can be said that Xiao Yong is now a non-staff member of the fifth battalion of Starfall Forward.
He raised his thumbs in emotion.
"Prince Ning is really good at predicting things. He said that Matsushita Yang would leave Tazigou soon. But we only waited three days and he really left."
"Yes." Xiao Gang nodded, with a smile on his face, almost grinning.
Matsushita Yo led his troops with compassion. Even if his subordinates made mistakes, they would usually make do with them if they could, and let them go if they could.
But he also has an advantage, that is, he obeys Naoto Kudo's advice.
Any order issued by Shangfeng will be strictly carried out by Matsushita Yang and no falsification will be tolerated.
For example, Kudo Naoto asked them to guard Tazigou and cut off the access to and from the Yuanning Mountains.
Since arriving at Tazigou, Matsushita Yang has no intention of attacking in order to gain military exploits.
Concentrating on guarding Tazi ditch, he asked his subordinates to dig up the land around Tazi ditch and pile up various obstacles on the outside, making full preparations to withstand large-scale cavalry attacks.
However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
The Japanese pirate soldiers did not have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm, so they had no time to dig trenches or build thorn fences.
As long as the eyes sent by Matsushita Yang were not around, they would just plow a few times in a perfunctory manner.
As a result, the trenches dug and the anti-cavalry fences piled up were mostly not up to combat standards and could not really restrict the cavalry attack, but at least they looked very intimidating on the surface.
Now that they have left Tazigou, all those "carefully" built defense settings are null and void.
In other words, Matsushita Yang who left Tazigou was simply an undefended team.
hey-hey.
Xiao Yong looked at the collapsing team on the opposite side and was so itchy that he almost drooled.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness said that you can eat Matsushita Yang's team if you can, and drive them south if they can't. The long snake formation in front of you is really fragrant. Why don't you ask your subordinates to bring someone up to charge them, I guess.
It can eat one or two thousand people."
Xiao Gang remained silent, but looked down at the map.
These days, the Starfall Legion has almost traveled across the entire east coast plain.
One of the reasons was to try to separate and involve the Japanese pirates' large force so that they could be divided and annihilated; the other reason was to find out the detailed conditions on the surface of the east coast plain.
This is serious business for the cavalry.
For example, some places may appear to be flat on the surface, but are actually a mud pit. As long as the cavalry breaks into it, it will be difficult for the horses to run.
For another example, some mountain passes may seem suitable for ambushes and attacks, but in fact they have a certain slope up and down, and there are many large and small gravels on the road with lots of potholes.
Once the war horses charge, they are likely to sprain their feet due to the road, causing the cavalry to stumble and fall off their horses on a large scale, etc...
Seeing that Xiao Gang was still pondering, Xiao Yong patiently explained.
"Your Majesty, the brothers of Lu Xingluo here have carefully touched it. It needs to be as wide as it is wide and as long as it needs to be. It is very suitable for large-scale charge and retreat."
Xiao Gang nodded slowly.
boom.
He suddenly slapped the map hard.
After fighting for so long, Xiao Gang is no longer a mother-in-law.
"That's it!"
"Uncle Yong, take someone to give them a good beating. Remember not to get too hung up on fighting, and fight quickly. After leaving, go to the next location to assemble."
"It's an order."
Xiao Yong breathed a long sigh of relief.
The prince he had grown up with had finally gotten rid of his childishness and low self-esteem, and became a general who could turn the tide and turn the tide.
Zhongyongbo Mansion,
No!
The Xiao family has a successor.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yong stood upright and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Not long after, more than two hundred riders followed him down the hill and touched the fire dragon in front of them.
The battle happened suddenly and ended quickly.
"Starfall!"
More than two hundred horsemen lined up in two rows, carrying long lances and sabers, and charged forward from north to south, roaring.
Before the Japanese pirate soldiers could react, they were cut into two pieces.
Then the horse's head turned around, with Xiao Yong as the top, and more than two hundred horsemen crossed from west to east, chasing the enemy's butt and killing them.
Almost none of the Japanese pirate soldiers understand Yunchui language, but the two words "Xingluo" representing attack and death are famous all over the world, and can even have the effect of stopping children from crying in some places.
It can be said that everyone is familiar with it.
"Starfall Legion!"
Several sudden screams rang out, tearing the night sky apart, and no one knew who was frightened.
"Run away quickly."
Tap tap tap.
The man's voice faded, and the thunderous sound of horse hooves could be heard from all directions. A cold light flashed through the swaying shadow of the fire, followed by a series of familiar and unfamiliar screams.
The Japanese pirate soldiers had little morale to begin with, and they couldn't even think of resisting at this time.
run!
Run!
Or die!
They only wished that their parents had not given birth to more legs, so they screamed, picked a random direction, turned around and ran away in a panic.
Some people even tried to run faster and even threw away the food in their hands.
kill!!
The war horses galloped towards him.
It was a good thing that the soldiers didn't run away. When they did, they ran into the cavalry who were pulling away.
The sword flashed and the horse's hooves stepped down.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand people were crushed in a daze.
Chirp~
The horse slowed down a little, and Xiao Yong wiped the blood on his head and face, and immediately blew the whistle to retreat.
The Starfall soldiers did not hesitate to give up the countless delicacies in front of them, changed their horses' heads, and left quickly in the direction of the whistle.
In a few breaths, the sound of horse hooves disappeared, and the entire team also disappeared.
The surviving Japanese pirate soldiers were in shock. One by one, you looked at me and I looked at you, at a loss.
If it weren't for the countless torches scattered on the ground, the thick smell of blood floating in the air, and the sounds of moans and groans ringing in the ears, it would have been as if the battle just now was just a dream.
I don't know how long it took before someone shouted angrily, "Why are you so dazed! The Xingluo people are here, why don't you report it to the general!"
