At the north entrance of Langling Mountain, the stretch of road between the hills suddenly becomes clearer with the subsidence of the terrain and a flowing river, which divides the large swamp into several forks. There are only a few places across the period.
Cross-timber bridges connect a looming road.
However, the usually interesting scene of the wilderness where birds and animals live is now drowned in the sound of golden drums all over the mountains and plains, the shouts of killing are shaking the sky, and the smoke is billowing in the fierce battle. In the center of the battlefield, there are all kinds of horses from the Fuso Army.
The flag is the mountain family crest (four folds of rhombus) surrounded by flags and flags.
And at the top of the slope of the middle mountain road, surrounded by a screen of four-fold water chestnuts and vermilion armored soldiers, under the shining silver boar head horse mark; as the head of the five generals of the General's Mansion of the West, he commanded the East Mountain Road Allied Forces.
Yamauchi Yoshiji, the lord of the largest feudal lord in Shinshu, was sitting there making tea by lighting a fire.
Then, while the waiter was serving cups of tea soup from different origins one after another with great respect, Yamauchi Yoshiharu, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes with a profound expression, was also flicking his military fan, giving orders like flowing water;
There were horse flags, flags and flags surrounding them, and they were assigned to go out.
At the edge of the battlefield, there are motley rebels and vassal soldiers occupying the mountains, slopes, and hilltops with only a few leather armors. They are vying to shoot arrows like rain from a high position while wandering among the rugged rocks and trees, struggling.
Resisting the counterattack from the periphery of the Fuso Army.
However, compared to suppressing and counterattacking these peripheral harassment and diversionary forces, the main battlefield where the Fuso Army really devoted its full strength was in the open area of the mountain pass in the north. There were arrays in the wilderness, taking turns to attack the tidal waves to the north of Haidong Kingdom.
The main force of Xingtai is located.
Therefore, almost all the swamps and grasslands that originally stretched between the mountain mouth and river forks have been trampled to pieces, turning out large areas of fresh mud and roots; along with the corpses and broken swords, guns and arrows lying here and there,
The red and black turbid water flows continuously.
However, there was still an endless stream of Fuso soldiers, guided by flags one after another, without hesitation stepping on these corpses as stepping stones; facing the comrades in the front line who were killed and retreated one after another, wave after wave of
Heading towards the top of the Taiwan Army, which occupied the relatively solid edge of the river beach.
Looking around, soldiers wearing different uniforms and shapes of armor were clashing with each other and killing each other. As the drums and flags flew in and out of the battle formation, broken limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere, and blood was everywhere.
It splashed everywhere, making the air seem to be filled with rain of blood.
Among the soldiers of all colors who were bathed in these bloody winds, some took the lead bravely, some retreated timidly, some were dying and wailing, and some bravely rescued their comrades; some fought while shouting dialects with southern and northern accents, yelling slogans and slogans at each other.
Yelling and scolding are meant to encourage and encourage.
This situation is like two ferocious beasts biting, colliding, and fighting each other. The lineup represented by the Taiwan Army is obviously more bloated and larger. It is almost surrounded from the north, east and west, with the Yamaguchi Fuso Army standing out.
Most of the troops tried their best to attack and squeeze.
However, the Fuso Army's front line, which seemed to be forced to lose ground and fight in the mud, had to be on the defensive. As the general, Yamauchi Yoshiharu remained unmoved at all; while sipping tea soup in a loud voice, he returned the favor.
I can take the time to comment on one or two things during the breaks in assigning formations.
Because he fully trusts the more than 10,000 troops under his command. In addition to the powerful Shinshu troops from the Yamauchi main formation, there are also Jiangzhou, Feizhou, Yuzhou, Nongzhou, and Yezhou who belong to Higashiyama Road, and they respond to the formation.
Elite soldiers and generals gathered and followed from dozens of large and small vassal armies.
Among them are either the children of the vassal family who have practiced martial arts for generations, the retainers of the ancestral family, or the old vassal warriors and subjects who are used to fighting rough and hard battles in the conflicts between the vassal realm all the year round; there are even some returnees who have served as loyal servants overseas.
The old pawns were all impressed and driven to run under his banner at this moment.
Therefore, after the initial confusion and wavering when he suddenly encountered an ambush all over the mountains at the mountain pass, and then quickly stabilized his position and began to continue the tug-of-war, he had already seen the complexity of the enemy he faced. And he was able to do so many times.
Counterattack in a targeted manner.
Although most of the soldiers in the formation only brought five days of rations due to the need to rush forward with light equipment to cover up the attack; but as long as they can defeat the remnants of the Haidong Army in the Northland who are also coming out in front of them, it means that Haidong
The three remaining northern states are no longer able to resist.
It was a pity that he had always been optimistic about Xiao Taiping by the river. Although this guy was born in the Yamauchi family, he had enough mental agility and good luck on the battlefield. Therefore, he not only gave him a surname and added the Miao character, but also eliminated the heir from the capital.
I bought an adoptive identity for the family of the lower minister.
The hope is that while the relatively mediocre eldest son Yamauchi Yoshio will inherit the Yamauchi feudal residence in Fuso as usual, at the same time as the more outstanding and beloved younger son Yamauchi Yoshiho in Kaidong land, a large piece of the feudal territory will also be cut off;
And Xiao Taiping by the river was his important companion.
However, with the news of Yamauchi Yoshiho's death, all this turned into a fleeting smoke. Therefore, even though he knew that this was the result he would encounter sooner or later, out of a father's obsession and selfishness, he still gave up a lot of things.
Promises and interests gathered together this army.
Not only to open up the situation in the north of Haidong Road alone and occupy the corresponding exclusive interests; but also to repay the death of the youngest son in the north. According to the agreement, as long as one of the five capitals can be captured, a branch can be opened, and then one can be adopted from the nearest branch.
The son was raised under the name of Yamauchi Yoshiho.
If he can defeat and capture this remnant of the royal family who established a platform in the north, he can even go one step further and promote his own right major general of the Imperial Guard to the third rank of left imperial guard Lieutenant General and grant him the land of Haidong.
The default position of Dazai, one of the upper, middle and lower garrison, is Tai Er.
Starting from his next generation, the Yamauchi family really got rid of their origin as a wealthy landowner in the countryside of Shinshu Kuniji, Higashiyama Road, and became the master of Heijo Kyo, ranking among the Ginden Immortal Class. While Yamauchi Yoshiharu was thinking about it, suddenly
Without any warning, he stood up, raised his arms and said:
"The time has come. All armies will march forward bravely with me until death."
"Hehehe."
"Hehe."
"H."
The left and right armored soldiers and guards who stood like spears and prepared for battle suddenly roared in response after hearing the words: Immediately, they were followed by four stacks of diamond flags and silver boar head horse badges that were shaking; like a huge torrent pouring down, along the front.
The arrays gave way to the corridor one after another, and they ran into the enemy head-on.
Only the sound of Horo and Kuniko, as well as the surging taiko drums, were heard. The Kaitong Army's front, which had just gained the upper hand, was speeding up and kicking the formation as if it was riding a wave.
It was flipped open; a deep and wide gap was immediately created.
Then, these slightly weakened cavalry were like two sharp knives crossing the formation; they used their remaining momentum to attack both sides, causing chaos and disintegration of the Haidong Army formation.
It further tore and expanded. Even if it fell off the horse, it would not stop.
The scene where two lines of cavalry are squeezing and impacting inward alternately at the same time is like two turbulent waves hitting each other back and forth on the left and right. Wherever the horses' hooves pass, the groups of soldiers are like mounds of sand. The waves roll in and the tide surges.
Blood was flying everywhere, and the array of several card-carrying short-sighted soldiers instantly collapsed.
The large group of spearmen who followed were like stabbing balls that crushed the heart. They stabbed the Haidong soldiers in row after row. After stabbing the Haidong soldiers over, they threw their guns and drew their knives to attack left and right.
The flag troops inside were fully armored, wielding dual-wielding swords and broken gold sticks to smash everything.
On a platform standing at the rear, people were shouting one after another around the small round face who was watching the battle and raiding the formation, thinking to suppress and boost morale:
"Down here, the Japanese army's main formation has moved."
"Down here, the Japanese troops are storming between the center and the left wing, and have begun to break in."
"Your Excellency, the seven capitals in the palace have defeated the four capitals, and the remaining three capitals can no longer resist."
"My Majesty, the Japanese army has urgently reported that the Japanese army has broken through the fifth formation, and Vice Admiral Hong (Dashou) is working hard to maintain the line."
"Down here, the left wing is asking for help for the third time. Five feudal lords have been killed in the battle. Although the soldiers and horses of the remaining feudal clans are fighting and leaving, they can't hold on for long."
"Under the residence, where the Shengsheng Brigade was located, the Japanese army rushed in. Captain Han (Wu Liu) tried his best to escape, and was no longer able to provide backup fire."
"Under the Di, Hanzhou Anshouchuo, who was supervising the battle in the front line, died in the battle. His troops began to collapse. He went to support Dushouchuo's troops in Yuanzhou and began to engage the enemy and gather troops;"
"My Majesty, General Ye (Jing) on the right wing was injured and fell from his horse. The armies at the rear will continue to be commanded by General Han (3rd and 4th), the first capital. Please don't worry about it for the time being."
At this moment, although the little round face remained expressionless, she couldn't help but feel excited in her heart. She originally thought that the number of hedgehogs gathered several times, and they were waiting for work to ambush at home; not to mention being able to annihilate the advancing Japanese army, in the end
Even if it doesn't work, it can be quickly defeated or even driven back.
But now it seems that I still trusted too much and underestimated the enemy. First, the ambush arranged in the mountains and forests failed to calm down and triggered a joint attack on the Japanese army in advance; then, in order to prevent these ambush troops from being defeated by the Japanese army one by one, they had to
Do not launch an offensive in advance.
As a result, the advantage and upper hand formed by the sudden attack and outflank could not be maintained for long; it was already resisted by these Japanese soldiers who were more tenacious and resilient and cooperated skillfully. The formation was calmly completed and fell into a continuous battle.
In the midst of a tug-of-war.
From the fierce battle in the early morning to the afternoon, the Fuso Army actually still has some remaining strength, which is a bit unexpected. However, when the soldiers and horses from all walks of life were summoned by Xingtai, they generally showed fatigue and decline; seeing one decline and the other increase,
Then, he suddenly fell into some kind of crisis.
I saw the thundering of golden drums, arrows flying randomly, swords and guns firing, and soldiers roaring. Under the charge of the Fuso army from left to right, the originally relatively clear division between the two armies seemed to have become clear at this time.
I can't see it anymore. There is no distinction between enemy and friend on the battlefield. People are on their backs and their horses are on their backs. It's chaos.
Therefore, within a short period of time, there were screams one after another under the carriage:
"My Majesty, the commander requested from the feudal lord to come out into battle."
"Your Majesty, the front team is requesting to go out to fight."
"Your Excellency, we also have Mahu and Jinfu teams, who can resist one or two with weapons."
Suddenly, a conspicuous silver boar-headed horse mark was raised high in the chaotic battle formation; like a demonstration, there was only less than a mile away from the rear of the Haidong Army. And it seemed to be stirring.
The center and focus of the vortex attracts the enemy and ourselves to swarm together.
Seeing this scene, the little round-faced man no longer hesitated and shouted to the left and right: "Sound the trumpet arrows, and the commander will attack from the vassal cavalry. The front team will move forward and wait to meet the enemy and respond."
At the same time, at the joint between the center and the left wing, under the cover and surrounded by a group of elite soldiers, Yamauchi Yoshiharu, who was wearing a three-pointed pocket and a red black ghost face armor, but had never appeared, also laughed out loud.
