When he heard that the enemies were all highly mobile cavalry, Yamamoto Kazuo immediately made a bold decision and arranged most of the longbow troops to ambush in the hills on the east and west sides of the depression. Yamamoto Kazuo was confident that after the battle began, the opponent would
The cavalry will not deal with its large number of ashigaru troops head-on, but will have a lot of energy to deal with the two sides. Even if there is that leisure, the hilly areas are not suitable for the movement of the cavalry. On the other hand, Yamamoto Kazuo also wants to protect
The longbowmen are his treasure. Unlike the ashigaru soldiers, he doesn't feel bad about how many of them die. He only needs to go to the fields to recruit a few farmers to replenish them.
Yamamoto Kazuo's arrangement was epoch-making in the history of Japanese wars. He actually dared to form a separate army with long-range firepower, far away from the cover of traditional infantry. He even planned to have three thousand cavalry move over to intercept the enemy after he entered the urn.
road.
But it is a pity that the three thousand cavalry were eaten by the Han army early, and even their bones were not left to Kazuo Yamamoto.
He thought that he did not have the ability to keep the opponent behind. Although he had 24,000 Ashigaru troops, he did not dare to divide his troops to carry out the mission of 3,000 Death Ghost Cavalry. He was afraid that if there were fewer people in front of him, he would be defeated by the opponent.
Besides, having more people around you can make you feel more at ease.
"Baga, why haven't you come over yet? Why don't you just leave if you don't know how to turn around?" Kazuo Yamamoto yelled.
Yamamoto Kazuo believes that the initiative on the battlefield now lies in the hands of the opponent. He will definitely not take the initiative to attack. Arranging more than 20,000 people in front of the low hill terrain can greatly weaken the impact of the opponent's cavalry. Even if the opponent can break through the formation, it will not be possible.
He could only rush into the hilly terrain behind and disrupt the formation. Then his ashigaru troops could be divided and hunted. With such a good arrangement, Yamamoto Kazuo really hoped that the other party could cooperate with him and let himself enjoy it.
Sense of achievement.
The cavalry facing Yamamoto Kazuo was the elite Zuo family army led by Gan Ning. At this time, Gan Ning was carefully observing the formation of the opponent's infantry and the surrounding terrain. He put down his telescope and thought about the appropriate method to break the formation.
The mirror was presented to Gan Ning by Queen Himihu of Yamatai.
After repeated thinking, Gan Ning believed that it was not appropriate to use Zuo's army to deal with an enemy that was several times his own. He decided to wait for the follow-up infantry to arrive. Although the follow-up infantry was a little slower, it finally arrived. This follow-up infantry was
It was composed of the defeated troops of Yamatai, and the general who commanded them was Sajikuni, the younger brother of Queen Himiko.
Gan Ning looked at George and asked: "General George, what do you think the opponent's formation is? Is there an ambush around?"
"General Dongfang, it's getting late. Our army mainly relies on well-equipped equipment. We fight in the Yamazaki Kingdom during the day. The night is not good for our army. We cannot stay here for a long time. We should withdraw our troops and return to camp immediately." Sajiguo's only suggestion.
road.
"Okay, well said. Send the order. The whole army will advance and form a formation in the center of the depression. Push all the vehicles to the front. The infantry and vehicles will be outside behind and the cavalry will be inside to form a square formation." Gan Ning gave the order.
Then he patted George on the shoulder and said: "You march cautiously and can see everything better. You are worthy of a general, but I don't want to drag the battle until tomorrow!"
George was stunned for a moment, and found that Gan Ning was looking into the distance with a sneer on his face, not looking at him at all. He was suddenly dripping with cold sweat, secretly sighing that he might have said the wrong thing this time, and he would be in trouble. The general would inevitably shake his military morale.
Or the crime of fear of war.
"General George, why are you dazed? Send the order quickly!" Gan Ning said, pushing George.
George was startled, and quickly turned his horse's head and shouted loudly. His infantry joined forces with the most elite Zuo family army of the Han Dynasty, formed a square formation, and walked towards the already chaotic formation of the Japanese Japanese army of Yamazaki Kingdom.
.
Yamamoto Kazuo felt more and more uneasy, and couldn't help cursing himself over and over again for being so cowardly. But for some reason, when he saw the Han army on the opposite side approaching slowly, he still couldn't help but panic.
"Your Excellency, will the army march a few hundred meters further to the center of the depression to meet the enemy?" Hitoshi Okuda asked.
"Blow the drum to send the order, order the iron artillery general Koizumi Jishinro and the bow general Koizumi Jubei to prepare for the attack!" Yamamoto Kazuo did not look back, but he heard that the person speaking behind him was Kameda Kazuo, the military supervisor in the army.
"Kameda-kun, don't act rashly at this time, wait for them to come!" Yamamoto Kazuo tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and keep his voice calm. He could already hear that Kameda's voice was trembling, and the mentality of other subordinates was probably similar.
"Sir, they stopped and formed a formation in front." Okuda Hitoshi said.
Yamamoto Kazuo frowned, a little confused as to what the other party wanted to do. It was almost dark. Why didn't the other party seize the time to attack his formation, but stopped to form a formation only seven or eight hundred meters away from his own army? Could it be that the other party had already
We have discovered the ambush on both sides. No matter what you want to do, you are now surrounded on three sides by yourself. The advantage is already on your side. Isn't it time to send out the two thousand reserve troops to cut off its retreat?!
"Your Excellency, General, attack!" Hitoshi Okuda galloped away from the formation, rushed to the halfway point of the hill, and shouted loudly to Yamamoto Kazuo.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Since they are not afraid of us surrounding them, let's go with them. The later the better, the later the better for us!" Yamamoto Kazuo was still hesitating whether to send someone to intercept them.
Road, but looking at the way the other party formed a formation, they seemed not to care about surrounding them.
At the same time, Georgia saw that the troops of the Yamazaki Kingdom had formed a formation, so he called the longbow battalion to come out to deal with the Yamazaki Kingdom's array. These longbows were brought by Gan Ning from the distant Han Dynasty. Now for combat needs,
It was distributed to the Yamatai soldiers. In Saji's view, the Yamazaki soldiers were now lined up in a formation, which was perfect for the longbowmen to show off their power. They could knock down a group of people without taking aim. It was God who helped Saji. At this time, he could not
Shoot, when can we wait for more?!
A tragic massacre suddenly started after a brief calm on the battlefield. Thousands of people fired a rain of arrows that harvested their lives. High-speed arrows crisscrossed in the air, mercilessly mowing down rows of people and horses to the ground.
The Yamatai soldiers around the longbowmen burst into enthusiastic cheers after a moment of astonishment, while the Japanese soldiers of the Yamazaki Kingdom were completely knocked unconscious by this blow.
Serious casualties, Yamamoto Kazuo seriously misjudged the Han army's sophisticated equipment.
George asked everyone in the Longbow Battalion to shoot two pots of arrows in one go. One pot contained a hundred wolf fang arrows. Seeing a large number of corpses of men and horses lying on the opposite side, Yamamoto Kazuo understood that if the Han army continued to fight like this
, he would collapse first and must attack, but Yamamoto Kazuo didn't know that his order played into the hands of the Han army.
