Chapter 309, 310 Destruction and Great Victory (two in one chapter)(1/2)

"Boom-" After tens of thousands of Japanese cavalry accelerated again, they arranged a wide array of nearly two miles, pressing against the infantry formation of the Eastern Expedition Army like black clouds.

It was less than thirty feet away, and even the faces of the Japanese cavalry could be seen clearly.

But at this moment, the stone cannon and bed crossbow that had been reloaded also roared again.

"boom-"

At the close distance, hundreds of bed crossbows and stone cannons have extremely shocking lethality. It seemed that a piece of the Japanese army was suddenly cut off.

Almost at the same time, more than 10,000 Korean archers and more than 1,000 divine arm archers also launched a round of riding and shooting.

The Japanese cavalry was completely bathed in front of the rain and arrows, with heavy casualties. The cavalry, who were overturned by the horse, covered a position one or two miles wide, screaming and wailing.

With the rain of Mongolian cavalry arrows on both wings, although the Japanese cavalry were numerous, they were like monsters trapped in the mud, bombarded on three sides, and the formation was messy.

However, the Japanese cavalry behind still pushed the cavalry in front like a tide. Under huge inertia, they stepped on their companions who fell from the horse in front, regardless of death or injury, and pressed towards the infantry formation of the East Army.

It was time to say that, and the distance was only ten feet long.

"Kill the chicken and give it to you! Punch the building!" The Japanese cavalry, who rushed over for life, shouted in excitement, jumped over horses and raised their swords to kill them.

The Japanese generals of Shaoer, Hojo Shimasato and others finally rushed to the enemy after seeing the cavalry suffering huge casualties. The originally ugly expression finally showed a smile.

"Run up! Good job!"

Even if anyone who doesn’t understand military strategies knows what it means to attack the infantry phalanx.

Even if the enemy infantry is in a strict phalanx, even if the enemy infantry uses long spears and hedgehog formations to protect it, it is difficult not to collapse under the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry at any cost.

The reason why Mongolian light cavalry is unwilling to attack the infantry hedgehog formation is mainly because of its small population and unwilling to pay too much price. But it does not mean that the Mongolian cavalry really cannot break the infantry hedgehog formation.

The Japanese were not so worried about death and injury. Anyway, the Kingdom of God had tens of millions of people, and the Yuan gangs who landed in front of them were only these, one less death. Even if they filled in their lives, they could get the money.

Cavalry is precious, but compared with the elimination of Yuan enemies, no matter how much cavalry loses, it is nothing.

The judgment of Shao Er, Hojo and others was not wrong. If tens of thousands of cavalry really rushed in, even if the Japanese cavalry were wiped out after losing their horse speed, the infantry formation of the Eastern Expedition Army would definitely collapse.

Then, the Japanese army followed closely behind and then stepped forward to suppress the collapsed Eastern Expedition Army, and they could win a tragic victory.

Infantry is not like cavalry. Cavalry has little demands on formation, but the formation is in chaos and will soon regain. Infantry has very high requirements for formation. Once it is in chaos, it will be difficult to reorganize it. No matter how many people are, it is useless.

Sacrifice of the vast majority of cavalry and killing the main infantry of the Yuan gang is the strategy of the Japanese general. Anyway, the Yuan gang has too few cavalry, and once the infantry is killed, it will be impossible to make a big wave with just tens of thousands of cavalry.

This strategy was jointly decided by Shao Er and Hojo, and it is called "Cavalent Jade Broken".

The Japanese army's strategies and tactics have been crazy from ancient times to the present, and they have traditional characteristics. If it were any other country, they would not be able to defeat tens of thousands of cavalry in exchange for the elimination of enemy infantry.

"Press up the infantry! The cavalry reserve team attacked! Prepare to defeat the enemy!" Shao Er Jingzi ordered the infantry to overwhelm and prepare to harvest the results of the sacrificed cavalry.

That's right, the Japanese army also hid a 5,000-man Jiuzhou cavalry, which was used to pursue the Yuan gang infantry.

Kyushu Island originally had five thousand cavalry gathered, but it had never had the opportunity to use it. Before, Utsunomiya Satotsu led more than 60,000 cavalry to support him, which totaled nearly 70,000. However, in the bloody battle with the Yuan army in Xindu, 13,000 cavalry were lost, including three thousand of the most precious heavy cavalry in the equipment.

This time the Japanese army went south, and the cavalry was still huge. Even though nearly 50,000 cavalry attacked head-on, there were still five thousand cavalry hidden in the infantry formation, which was concealed by the Yuan Kou's eyes to detect the horses.

The Japanese generals are not fools, they can only play tricks, so they won’t?

However, before Shao Er Jingzi and others were happy to breathe, they widened their eyes and exclaimed.

"Nani?!"

Standing on the temporary high-rise carriage, Shao Er Jingzi actually saw that, as his cavalry rushed to the Yuan bandit formation, a team of cavalry, all wearing heavy armor, suddenly came rumbled and collided.

"High cavalry with equipment! Baga! Yuan Kou actually brought a heavy cavalry with equipment!" Shao Er Jingzi said hatefully, and his heart immediately hung up.

At the same time, more than a thousand Mongolian heavy cavalry and eight hundred Korean heavy cavalry had already collided with the surging Japanese light cavalry.

"Boom-"

The Mongolian heavy cavalry is not only tall and big, but also all are equipped with human and horse harnesses. Even weapons are maces. However, the weapons of the Goryeo heavy cavalry are rifles.

With the slightly high terrain, more than two thousand cavalrymen accelerated under the push of the infantry behind and collided with the fierce Japanese light cavalry.

In an instant, more than 2,000 Japanese cavalry fell from their horses, and the speed of the Japanese cavalry was like a torrent of the river bank, and was immediately stopped.

The Mongolian heavy cavalry swung their mace fiercely and in the assault, the Japanese cavalry cluster was like a leaf that was fiercely eaten by a fierce insect, shrinking rapidly and finally being torn apart one by one.

Immediately afterwards, ten thousand heavy infantry of the Jiangnan Army followed closely behind the heavy cavalry, holding long swords and big guns, fiercely attacking the Japanese cavalry that lost their horse speed, just like the infantry that followed tanks in later generations assaulted.

This is a mixed blocking battle formation planned by Li Luo. Although the Mongolian heavy cavalry is powerful, the number of people is too small, and the number of Japanese cavalry is too large. With just more than two thousand heavy cavalry, it is difficult to deal with tens of thousands of Japanese light cavalry.

Therefore, he only equipped the heavy infantrymen with the Song army's infantry armor and cooperated with the Mongolian heavy cavalry.

Sure enough, the Japanese cavalry, who lost their horse speed, fell into a disadvantage under the assault of the Mongolian heavy cavalry and Jiangnan heavy stances. Although there were many, they were extremely passive.

More than 10,000 Korean archers shot feathered arrows and attacked the Japanese cavalry in the middle.

At the same time, the Mongolian cavalry on both wings finally put away their bows and arrows, pulled out the shiny Mongolian scimitar, and shouted and attacked the Japanese cavalry that had lost their horses and was in a mess.

In this way, the heavy cavalry and heavy steps rushed into the front, and the Korean archers shot feather arrows from behind, and the Mongolian Seme light cavalry on both wings launched an impact.

The huge Japanese cavalry cluster suddenly collapsed.

Mongolian cavalry rushed into the formation and slashed and killed them. Wherever they went, all the Japanese cavalry who lost their horse speed were invincible. Countless people were killed, and those who fell off their horses and were trampled to death.

The heavy cavalry and heavy infantry broke in, and the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties. Many Japanese soldiers were forced to dismount and turned into infantry fighting.

The entire battlefield became a melee between tens of thousands of people. However, the Japanese army was completely at a disadvantage.

"Boom-" The Mongolian cavalry on the left and right wings finally opened the thick Japanese formation, rushed to the right wing, and the right wing rushed to the left wing, and then re-activated the horse speed, and once again fiercely attacked the collapsed Japanese cavalry formation.

Even the cavalry general Utsunomiya Sadatsutsu was killed by a Mongolian cavalry.

"Your Excellency!" The Japanese cavalry around him screamed with all hissings when he saw Utsunomiya Sadatsura die in battle.

At this time, the Japanese cavalry who lost their horse speed completely became pigs and sheep under the scimitar of Mongolian Seminary cavalry, and were almost killed one-sidedly.

"Baga..." Shao Er Jingzi looked at this scene in a daze, his eyes full of blood, but there was no way.

Now the entire front is in chaos, and the infantry can no longer follow up.

How could it be like this? The Yuan Kou's combat power is indeed powerful. Especially their cavalry, how could they be compared with the cavalry of the Kingdom of God? It is too far behind.

The Japanese generals were all pale and trembled all over. They did have the idea of ​​sacrificing cavalry, but the problem was that the cavalry must destroy the Yuan gang infantry formation, and could not sacrifice it for nothing.

"Ming Jin retreated!" Shao Er Jingzi finally ordered the withdrawal of the cavalry, while ordering a large number of archers to prepare for cover.

But how can we retreat? The Japanese cavalry was completely in chaos. Even if some people retreated, they were just chased by the Mongolian cavalry from behind.

"The cavalry reserve team attacked the right wing of the Yuan gang!" Shao Erjingzi had no choice but to send his own 5,000 Jiuzhou cavalry to take advantage of the Yuan gang's cavalry to attack the weak right wing of the Yuan gang's defense. If it could really break through, the situation of the battle might be restored.

Five thousand Japanese cavalry swarmed out, bypassing the frontal battlefield, and rushed to the right wing of the Eastern Expedition Army.

Here comes! Li Luo saw that there were still five thousand Japanese cavalry coming out, and immediately guessed that he was going to attack his flank.

Haha, I’m afraid you won’t come. If you don’t come, wouldn’t the effort I spent on the sidelines be wasted?

In a blink of an eye, the five thousand Japanese cavalry went around to the right wing of the Eastern Expedition Army, and accelerated their horses and rushed forward with all their might.

Shao Er Jingzi and others were extremely nervous, and everyone prayed for the gods in their hearts to bless the successful attack on the enemy's flanks.

But the next moment, their hearts sank.

The Japanese cavalry all fell down one after another, and fell in large numbers. Immediately afterwards, the infantry formation on the right wing of the Yuan gang actually shrank inward, revealing a hidden row of horses. Then, there were hedgehog-like spears.

"Stuck the horse trap! Resist the horse!" Shao Er Jingzi and others looked extremely difficult to see. How could they know that Yuan Kou had prepared long ago? It seems that it is impossible to break through the wings.

Seeing his cavalry facing the front, he was in a state of doom, the Yuan gang was prepared for the wings, and Shao Er Jingshi was in chaos.

"General, look..." Shao Er Jingzi looked at the general Hojo Shinxi with a tragic smile.

Hojo Shimasato's face turned miserable. When the battle ended in this way, it was probably decided that he would win or lose. It was difficult for him to escape the ending of committing suicide and apologizing.

"For the sake of the present, we can only burn our boats and use all our hearts to seek the final turnaround!" Hojo Mimasa said hoarsely, with a decisive tone.

"Okay, then... let the whole army attack!" Shao Er Jingzi, who was helpless, finally issued an order for infantry assault. There is no way out. The cavalry is almost done. Even if the infantry preserves their strength, can they still escape the enemy's attack? Can they still evacuate safely? Impossible.

The desperate attack on the entire army will make the battlefield even more chaotic, and perhaps even seek survival in chaos. Even if the entire army is wiped out, the Yuan Kou will seriously damage his vitality and let the Yuan Kou see the determination of the warriors in the Kingdom of God.

"Wuwuwuwuwudongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!" With the order of the Japanese general attack, tens of thousands of Japanese infantry were frightened, but they could only keep their formation and run quickly, supporting the desperate Japanese cavalry. The Japanese archers in front had already shot out the rain of arrows, regardless of the enemy and me.

Although some Mongolian soldiers were killed and injured in the rain of arrows, more were injured, but the only remaining Japanese cavalrymen.

It's really crazy.

At this time, there were only tens of thousands of Japanese cavalry left, almost surrounded by Mongolian cavalry and heavy infantry, and all were wiped out in a blink of an eye.

When Li Luo saw that all the Japanese infantry were pressing on him, he knew that the Japanese army was going to fight to the death.

"Transfer! All infantry except the right wing attack!" Li Luo also issued a military order for the general attack.

Soon, two teams of ten thousand people on the left wing and one thousand cavalry, including the Goryeo archers who had lowered their bows and arrows, also replaced swords and guns. Even Li Luo's seven thousand direct infantry also attacked.

Forty thousand people kept their formation and slowly pressed up.

As the infantry on both sides joined the battle, the battle situation was even more tragic. The formations of both sides were bitten together, with dog teeth intertwined, and swords and guns stabbed, causing a large number of casualties and injuries at every moment. The Japanese archers did not go into battle, but threw archery rains in the formation.

The battle between more than 100,000 people made the world tremble.

At this time, the Japanese cavalry were almost wiped out, and only a few thousand people remained, although they were taken out by Japanese infantry, they all became infantry.

Li Luo ordered the division of 5,000 Mongolian cavalry to deal with the thousands of Japanese cavalry that had attacked the right wing before, and then put the infantry on the right wing into the front.

The remaining Mongolian cavalry and Haidong cavalry were attacking the fragile rear of the Japanese infantry. Although the Japanese infantry was still lined up with fish scale formations, they became increasingly messy under the attack of the cavalry's bows and arrows.
