Seeing the embarrassment of the Yamazaki cavalry, Li Yan finally felt relieved. In Gan Ning and Liao Li's original plan, Li Yan was only to lead the army to cover the retreat of the Yamatai sailors, but Li Yan was executing the order.
, and found that the banks of the Hongyu Zhichuan River were very narrow, making it an ideal place to deal with enemy cavalry, and Li Yan happened to be in control of a group of heavy infantry at this time.
However, at that time, Li Yan was not sure whether the generals of the Yamazaki Kingdom would use cavalry to attack. In order to prevent his ideas from affecting Gan Ning and Liao Li's overall plan, Li Yan sent people to dig a deep ditch on the river bank, and then used
These strong giant shields were used as camouflage pads to ambush the troops under the deep trenches, waiting for the best opportunity, and had their plans fed back to Gan Ning and Liao Li.
God help, these Yamazaki Japanese Japanese actually used cavalry to chase those Yamatai sailors, and the Yamatai sailors also showed unusual cooperation and realism, putting these Yamasaki Kingdom cavalry in trouble and letting the soldiers they led
The troops were able to display their strengths.
After arranging the troops to block the opponent's infantry, Li Yan only had one thought in his mind at this time, which was to destroy the huge Yamazaki cavalry force in front of him. Everything else was no longer within the scope of Li Yan's consideration at this time.
These Yamazaki cavalrymen, who had never encountered such a formation, could not think of an effective way to deal with it for a while. Facing the mountain-like pressure, many Yamazaki cavalrymen felt unbearable and desperate.
rushed forward.
But facing the dense forest of guns and swift crossbows, they were completely powerless. A few lucky ones could at best knock on the opponent's shield to see if this thing was really that strong, but the final result did prove it.
This kind of shield cannot be cut by a knife or pierced by a spear. It is truly incorruptible and durable. In fact, it allows the Han infantry to rely on the length advantage of the spear to easily pierce the body of the Yamazaki Japanese soldiers.
During the slow but determined advance of these heavy infantry, a large number of Yamazaki cavalry were picked off their horses by spears and crossbows, and then were trampled and abandoned, turning into inhuman corpses. These were no longer able to charge and kill.
The Yamazaki cavalry had to retreat step by step as the Han army advanced. The formation became more and more crowded. Many of the cavalry near the river bank had been forced to stand in the river. What was waiting for them was just looking at themselves hopelessly.
Was unilaterally massacred by the Han army.
If this situation continues to develop, these Yamazaki cavalry will eventually be forced to a dead end because they have no way to retreat. Even if they use corpses to build obstacles to block the opponent, they will only be able to survive.
Although he saw the consequences, Ueda Akunari had no choice but to send out signals for help, hoping that Hojo Takutake, who was leading the infantry behind, could arrive in time, so that there might be a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps feeling Ueda Akunari's anxiety, just when Li Yan started to collect the results of the battle, under the shining of the morning sun, a large group of Yamazaki infantrymen appeared in the sight of the Han army with bamboo guns in hand, and large amounts of dust flew into the air.
Even the rising sun was covered, and the battle situation seemed to have changed dramatically again.
While Li Yan was being attacked from both sides, groups of Yamatai sailors emerged from the water at the bottom of the Hongyu Zhichuan River. Necessary tasks such as reconnaissance, sentry, formation, and response were carried out in an orderly manner.
He did not feel depressed or lazy because he had just suffered a major setback, and showed very good military qualities.
Sasaki's general Susano'o climbed up from the water. Seeing the performance of his soldiers, although he was full of regrets, he also secretly admitted that he felt that the troops he led were worthy of being well-trained elites.
The Yamatai navy is different from the Han navy. They are a force that can fight on water and land at the same time. The recruitment, training, equipment, etc. of the personnel are different from the professional army of Yamatai. This may also be the early navy.
Marines, right?!
These soldiers who are proficient in water skills are all recruited from coastal fishermen. Their endurance and physical fitness are also very outstanding among the Yamatai Army. It is not too much to say that they are the elite of the Yamatai Army. If it were not for this evil attack
The remaining infantry of Ma Tai are all the best of the best, and it is estimated that they will serve as the main force in land battles.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Due to various reasons, although the capabilities of the Yamatai sailors are impressive, they did not assume the main position in the battle. They still appeared on the battlefield as an assisting force for the Han army.
.
For example, this time, according to the plan, Susano'o led his troops to ambush outside the military camp. He would fight the Yamazaki Japanese soldiers who came to rob the camp if they could. If the enemy was strong, Susano'o would lead his troops.
Evacuate from the water and be covered by Li Yan's troops who have been ambushing on the river bank for a long time.
However, the situation was somewhat different from what was predicted. When Susano'o realized that the enemy's cavalry had posed a huge threat to his own side, he began to retreat according to the plan, but the expected friendly troops under Li Yan did not appear.
This cost Susano'o's troops an extra 2,000 casualties, and they barely escaped the enemy's pursuit. It is certain that if it were not for the Hong Ushikawa River, Susano'o's side would even be in danger of being annihilated.
.
At this time, Susano'o felt not only annoyed but also puzzled. He couldn't figure out why when they retreated, the expected response force, Li Yan's troops, disappeared? But when they reached the lower reaches, they heard another sound from upstream.
The cry of killing made Susano'o confused and confused. He didn't know what happened. This seemed to be inconsistent with the original plan. Could it be that something went wrong?
Susano'o listened to the faint cry of killing coming from upstream, and hesitated slightly in his heart, but still gave a firm order to the deputy general Takemikata next to him: "In the order army, immediately organize it according to the combat requirements!
"
After receiving the order from the commander, the Yamatai sailors immediately organized as required and organized the wounded into another group. All soldiers capable of fighting were gathered together. A rough calculation showed that there were less than 4,000 soldiers left.
.
After Susano'o waited for the soldiers to form a queue, he ordered to set off and meet Gan Ning, the naval commander, as planned, to prepare for the next battle. Before leaving, Susano'o glanced upstream again, and then
He left with the troops without looking back.
At this time, Liao Li, the military advisor of the expeditionary force, paced back and forth uneasily at the secret gathering place, looking in the direction of the Hongyu Zhichuan River from time to time. He was very anxious in his heart, wondering whether the order could be conveyed to everyone in time.
Li Yan changed the plan without authorization without notifying Gan Ning and Liao Li in advance. After the plan was agreed upon, Gan Ning and Liao Li changed the location of the assembly point and missed the messenger sent by Li Yan to report the news.
When Yan sent people to report the situation on the battlefield and the news that he had changed his plan without authorization, Gan Ning had already dispatched his troops according to the predetermined plan and prepared for the next battle.
After receiving the news from Li Yan, Gan Ning and Liao Li immediately thought of stopping them, but the feedback from the battlefield situation made them give up the idea. Li Yan surrounded the Yamazaki Kingdom's cavalry, but was soon attacked again.
More than 100,000 infantrymen from the Yamazaki Kingdom surrounded him, and now Li Yan was unable to escape. Forcing Li Yan to retreat would only lead to catastrophic and serious consequences.
After receiving the news, Gan Ning and Liao Li ignored Li Yan's decision to act on their own. For the sake of their brother, Gan Ning went to chase the sent troops in person, while Liao Li had to stay here to coordinate the troops.
What Liao Li is most worried about now is the Danyang heavy infantry led by Li Yan. If Li Yan collapses before the reinforcements of the Yamatai sailors arrive, and if things really deteriorate to this point, the outcome of the Battle of Japan Island will be almost
It can be expected.
Even if they are lucky and the Yamatai sailors can return to the rescue in time, but in a head-on confrontation with the opponent's nearly 200,000 troops, even with the help of superior weapons, it is still difficult to say whether they will win or lose. After all, Li Yan has people surrounded him.
.
Although his heart was already like soup, Li Yan's face was still firm and calm, and his eyes looking towards Hong Yuzhi River were as usual. There was no sign of any anxiety on his part, only the frequency of his steps changing from time to time.
, somewhat revealing his mood at this time.
Time!? It seems to be the key to victory or defeat!
"Kill!"
Fierce roars shook the world, and the rising wind and sand dimmed the morning sun. The loud war flags commanded different armies to engage in fierce collisions. The strong bodies were destroyed in an instant in the light of the sword, and each other shared life and death.
The comrades disappeared in the forest of swords and guns without leaving a single word.
Infantry versus infantry, steel swords versus bamboo spears, there are no bells and whistles, it is a direct collision of courage and skill, a direct exchange between life and life, either you die or I die, human compassion and tolerance have no place at this time.
place.
Worthy of the ace honor of the Danyang Elite of the Han Dynasty, the elite Danyang soldiers of the Han Dynasty faced more than ten times the number of enemies and displayed amazing combat power. They brandished steel knives, fired crossbows, and wildly harvested Yamazaki.
In front of them, the lives of the Japanese Japanese soldiers of the Yamazaki Kingdom were shed with blood. Their bodies and even their heads had to pay a heavy price for every step forward. Every Danyang soldier who left took several Yamazaki soldiers with him.
The lives of the Japanese soldiers, in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides, were only that dazzling red, that deadly bright red.
For a moment, the light of swords and guns covered the entire world, and the scattered blood smeared the entire earth. In the chaos, only the collision of weapons, hoarse fighting, and screams before death could be heard, making the world feel confused.
There was a strange feeling of desolation and solemnity in all directions.
At this time, in order to annihilate the Han army that had been surrounded by Li Yan's troops, An Yanliang kept ordering the troops to attack! Attack! Attack again! Any soldier who dared to hesitate would be immediately killed by his trusted guards, using all means
He drove the soldiers to attack the Han army's blockade. This move was extremely cruel and effective, both for others and for themselves.
The Japanese soldiers of the Yamazaki Kingdom who were forced into a desperate situation were inspired to unleash the ferocious beasts hidden in their bodies. They rushed to kill the Han army at all costs, using bamboo spears, hands, feet, and even mouths, using all available means.
He came out and was hit one after another with no regard for life or death.
