"Sir, General Okuya Ya has been killed in the battle. More than half of our three thousand people have been killed and wounded, and the rest are also surrounded." The last rider jumped off the horse before the horse stopped, and rushed to Yamamoto Kazuo with a face full of panic.
Kneel down and say.
This news shocked Yamamoto Kazuo, who almost fell down. Half an hour ago, he led his troops to this flat wasteland to lay out an ambush. He ordered Oku Koya to be the first general to lead all the only cavalry in the legion.
To meet the enemy, if there are not many enemies, engage them in battle and defeat them. If the enemy force is large, then draw them here. He himself was proud of this two-pronged strategy for a while. Half an hour ago, Ou Haozai
Someone was sent to report that they encountered the Han Dynasty's vanguard force, about a thousand people, and there seemed to be another 3,000 people five or six miles behind, rushing here. Unexpectedly, in just a short time, there was a message.
The news of the defeat of three thousand cavalry, and more than half of them were killed or wounded, was the only three thousand cavalry he had in hand! Yamamoto Kazuo was so heartbroken that he could not say anything for a moment.
"How did Okuyaru die? How could three thousand cavalry be defeated in a moment? How many enemies did you encounter? What happened?" Ashigaru General Fujio Akatsuka rushed over, straightened the soldier who was kneeling on the ground, and asked
.
"Big...big...sir, there are only a thousand enemies. They are also cavalry, but they are too despicable. Many of them are on horseback with bows and arrows. When they see us, they rush over. His Excellency Ou Koya leads us to attack, but we are still far away from them.
When they were far away, they started to fire arrows, killing five or six hundred of us at once. Our horses were also frightened, and our formation was disordered. Then they began to chase us, and they killed us every time.
Each person is equipped with at least a long knife, a long bow and a small crossbow. There seems to be an endless number of arrows, which can form a continuous fire network and have high lethality. When they are very close to us,
, or even directly slashed at us with their swords, often one person could cut down several of us. Originally, we could still fight with more people, but not long after, thousands of Han infantry came and surrounded everyone."
The almost exhausted cavalryman recounted.
"Then how did you escape? Did Okuyaru die in the battle?" Okuda Hitoshi strangled the poor man's neck with both hands with a ferocious face and roared.
"Cough...cough...Sir, Okuya-dono was shot to death by the opponent with a strong bow as soon as the battle started. He was hit by many arrows. I...I...my horse was frightened and turned around and ran behind.
At that time... the Han army at that time had not cut off our retreat. When... when I wanted to turn around and go back, the enemy had already surrounded the remaining people. I... I... I hurried back to report the news.
." The poor guy was sweating profusely and stammered.
"Baga, you are a deserter, you coward." Hitoshi Okuda pulled out his sword with a "swish" sound, and made a beautiful slash. A frightened head fell to the ground with a "gurgling" sound, and the remaining body was still there.
Keeping his kneeling posture, blood spurted out from his head and neck, splashing Okuda's face.
Hitoshi Okuda wiped away the blood that was splashed around his eyes, raised his foot and kicked the remaining body aside, put the sword into its sheath, and walked to Yamamoto Kazuo's side as if nothing had happened just after killing a chicken.
.
"Your Excellency, this reckless man Ou Kozai killed three thousand cavalrymen. It is not a pity to die! Since the opponent only has one thousand cavalrymen and less than five thousand infantrymen, we still have a great advantage. We have the right time and the right location.
What's more, our strength is several times that of the enemy. We will definitely win this battle and we will definitely avenge the three thousand cavalry." Okuda was very happy. Not only did the arrogant guy like Oku Koya finally get rid of his hair, but he also had someone who had made great achievements in front of him.
Opportunity, he suggested immediately.
Kazuo Yamamoto nodded silently, his heart still aching for the three thousand cavalry that he had finally put together. Kazuo Yamamoto cheered up and said: "Okuda-kun, please send more people to lure those Han people over." After all.
If this group of enemy cavalry could be eliminated, the loss of three thousand cavalry would be considered worthwhile.
"Hey!" Hitoshi Okuda bowed to Kazuo Yamamoto, and just when he raised his head, more than 24,000 Yamazaki soldiers in front of the hill suddenly started to make a commotion. Hitoshi Okuda was startled, and quickly looked back, his face suddenly changed.
.
A piece of dust appeared in the distance in the sky in the north. The violent sound of horse hooves got closer and closer at first, but after a while, the sound of horse hooves gradually weakened, and the north returned to tranquility. If the dust flying in the sky had not dispersed, many people present
All the Yamazaki soldiers thought they had just delusional.
Why didn't any of our own scouts return to report the enemy's situation? Why did the two patrol teams that went to the north not return?
Kazuo Yamamoto suddenly felt an inexplicable panic. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, picked up the telescope, and looked to the north. He was sure that the other party would come from behind the group of low hills in the northwest corner of the depression.
appeared because that was the terrain nearby that was most suitable for cavalry to pass through.
A flag with Chinese characters and a golden dragon on a red background suddenly appeared from behind a low hill. Then a cavalry figure holding a large flag with Chinese characters and a red background of golden dragon appeared on the hill. The rider pulled the reins, and the war horse neighed and raised its legs, then fell steadily.
Stopping, the horseman waved his flag, and countless cavalry figures immediately emerged from a dozen low hills around him.
Cavalry!? This must be the cavalry of the Han army?! All three thousand of his cavalry must have been destroyed. Yamamoto Kazuo felt a sting in his heart, and the hope-like soap bubble hidden deep in his heart was instantly shattered.
What made Kazuo Yamamoto even more uneasy was that the cavalry of the Han Dynasty suddenly stopped and stopped advancing. A man who looked like a general was standing on the highest point of a hill, holding a strange black long and flat thing, observing from a distance.
Could the formation on his side be the legendary telescope? Yamamoto Kazuo was puzzled for a while and began to think about what cavalry formation the opponent might use to attack his formation.
Kazuo Yamamoto, who is in his early fifties, has followed his father, a samurai, to make a living on the battlefield since he was a boy. The wars of those years taught him how to kill in order to survive, but he also took away his father without mercy and relied on killing
For his achievements in rebelling against various armies, he was praised and promoted by his companions, An Yanliang and the general, but he gradually began to tire of blood.
It is true that over the past few decades, Kazuo Yamamoto's military career has been somewhat suspected of making a living in the world, but to be fair, Yamamoto's tactical thoughts and strategies have been somewhat tempered and improved through the intrigues and intrigues with his colleagues over the past few decades.
, at least the fact that he can become a general proves that his survivability is still guaranteed, so the formation of troops this time still seems to be very good.
