Once upon a time, all the main forces of the Ping clan were buried, but the Ping clan warriors never expected that this retribution would come so quickly. The Minamoto clan army was completely annihilated by the Song army in one night. This scene seems familiar!
But this was not over yet. After Niugao annihilated all the main forces of the Genji in Echizen Prefecture, he learned that his reinforcements had destroyed the Japanese navy in Wakasa and occupied the Wakasa port. Although Wakasa Prefecture was not conducive to defense, it was
It is the buffer zone between Echizen Prefecture and Kyoto Prefecture, and is a battleground for military strategists.
So Niugao immediately ordered his army to quickly march to Wakasa Prefecture and meet up with the supporting army.
In addition, Zhao Jingyan also hoped that Pingwulang would lead their remaining troops to the front line, and Pingwulang also agreed. Now that the great revenge has been avenged, and it is time for them to launch a large-scale counterattack, if the Song army does not allow them to participate, then he will fight
The situation was completely out of control, and he had no reason to refuse. After all, the Song army was still helping them fight. You don't want to fight a single master. What kind of talk is that? You lead the last troops of the Taira clan out of Echizen Prefecture.
But he didn't want to think about what voice they could get with their small army.
After Zhao Jingyan deceived Ping Wulang, he left 20,000 soldiers to garrison Echizen Prefecture and Song Renzhou, firstly to prevent sneak attacks from the Kanto region, and secondly, to eliminate the enemies in the rear, because Song Renzhou was right in the middle of Japan, although marching from here could not avoid two sides.
Combat, but at the same time it also made it difficult for the Japanese court to take care of everything.
Within a few days, Niugao's army reached Wakasa Prefecture and met up with the sudden reinforcements.
"This——is this our reinforcements?"
When Niu Gao came to Wakasa Prefecture, he couldn't help but swallowed when he looked at the rows of troops in front of him wearing all black armor and riding tall horses. Even a fool could see that the equipment of this army was much better than theirs.
.This war horse alone is much better than theirs, and a pair of bull's eyes are shining with envy.
"The last general Zhuo Fei met with General Niu, Military Advisor Zhao, and General Wei."
A young major general about 1.8 meters tall got off his horse and saluted Niugao and the others with cupped fists.
Swish, swish, swish!
Thousands of soldiers behind them waved their right hands in unison, without any noise at all.
Niu Gao saw this familiar military salute and felt a little bit of the atmosphere of the Song army. He returned the military salute and said in confusion: "Military advisor, why didn't I hear that the imperial court would send reinforcements? And as the commander-in-chief of the bodyguard, I also
I didn’t know that the Song Dynasty still had such an extremely well-equipped army.”
Wei Ming suddenly stepped forward and said: "General Niu, this army was secretly prepared by the imperial court on Ezo Island. Not all of these people are my subjects of the Song Dynasty."
Niu Gao was a little surprised when he heard this. These are not the people of the Song Dynasty, so why are they the army of the Song Dynasty? He said: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Wei Mingdao: "These people are actually orphans, including people from the Song Dynasty, people from Korea, people from Ezo, and people from Japan. The imperial court secretly absorbed these orphans, gave them food and help, and trained them on Ezo Island
They, General Niu, should also know. The Song Dynasty still has to deal with the Jin Kingdom and Xixia, so it is difficult to send more reinforcements, and this army is to prepare for the unexpected needs of the Japanese battlefield."
"I see."
Niu Gao nodded and said, "But where did this horse come from? Why does it look a bit like a horse from the Kingdom of Jin?"
Wei Ming smiled and said: "General, you have such a good eye. This is the horse from the Kingdom of Jin."
Niu Gao was shocked and said: "How is this possible? The Kingdom of Jin does not sell war horses like us."
Wei Mingdao: "Indeed. But there are many traders who smuggle horses on the border between Jin Kingdom and Goryeo."
Niu Gao was stunned, nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand, we are using Goryeo to go to the Kingdom of Jin to smuggle horses."
Wei Ming smiled and said: "That's right. Now we also have a horse farm on Ezo Island."
"There is also a horse farm."
Niu Gao was startled again and suddenly waved to Zhuo Fei.
Zhuo Fei immediately stepped forward and said, "General, what are your orders?"
Niu Gao suddenly stretched out his rough big hand and touched Zhuo Fei's arm, which was not slender.
gay?
Zhuo Fei immediately had goosebumps everywhere.
When the soldiers on the side saw it, they also showed disgusting expressions. You must know that when Niu Gao touched him just now, he even raised his orchid fingers. Just think about such a reckless man raising his orchid fingers to touch another strong man. What does this have to do with throwing soap? The difference is so disgusting.
Everyone looked at Niu Gao in horror.
"ah?"
Niu Gao also reacted and said quickly: "What are you looking at me doing? I just think this armor is so beautiful. By the way, what kind of leather is it made of? It's so compact and looks clean and neat. It's really strange."
Although the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion are also in black armor, they are far less beautiful than the black armor of this army. The black armor he wears seems to be a combination of leather armor and iron armor. The helmet, shoulders, and chest are inlaid with iron plates. , the rest are all leather armor, but this kind of leather is very special, tightly wrapped, showing the soldiers' perfect figures vividly and delicately, with clear curves. It looks like a real pleasure, but judging from their movements , does not seem to affect it, it can be seen that the stretchability of this cortex is very good.
Therefore Niu Gao was very curious.
It turned out that this was what he was asking. Zhuo Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He was not interested in men, let alone men with beards, and said: "Report to the general, this is made of whale shark skin."
"Whale shark skin! It's amazing. It's amazing. Who came up with this?"
"Because Ezo Island is very rich in seafood, and many people on Ezo Island wrap their bodies with fish skin, we learned to make this kind of armor."
Niu Gao whispered: "Hey, do you have any extra?"
Zhuo Fei groaned and said, "It's a good thing."
Niu Gao said hehe: "Then give me a set."
This armor is so beautiful, Niu Gao is also very happy, this general naturally loves armor.
Zhuo Fei said with a cold sweat: "Yes, I will send it to the general later, but--it's just that this kind of armor does not have a uniform size and must fit properly, so I have to ask a tailor to tailor it to the general first." .”
"It's okay, it's okay, I still have some effort." Niu Gao said hurriedly.
Zhao Jingyan suddenly said: "General Niu, why don't you use gold to make two gold maces to use as weapons, and then send people to catch more whale sharks. Make more armor, and we can live here for a year and a half. I hope I can help you take care of it."
Niu Gao looked embarrassed and said, "The military advisor is joking."
Zhao Jingyan said calmly: "But I see you are serious."
"I---I'm joking too."
Niu Gao coughed several times and asked with a serious face: "How is the situation in Wakasa Prefecture now?"
Zhuo Fei said: "Reporting to the general, now all the enemies in Wakasa Prefecture have been wiped out, and we have intercepted the grain and grass that the Genji camped here."
"Yeah?"
Niu Gao was overjoyed and clapped his hands and said: "That's great. You guys fought beautifully in this battle."
Zhuo Fei suddenly remembered something and said: "Oh, we also encountered our supply fleet on the way here. The imperial court gave us an additional 500 heartless cannons and a large number of gunpowder bags. It happened that we were about to attack Wakasa
port, so I arranged for the supply fleet to stop at a nearby island. After we captured Wakasa Port, we would land directly here and wait for General Ushi."
"What? A heartless cannon?"
Niu Gao looked stunned.
Zhuo Fei said: "This is a more convenient artillery, which was developed recently by the Ordnance Supervisor."
Niu Gao's eyes gleamed and he said hey, "You have no conscience, this must be related to the Privy Councilor."
Zhuo Fei nodded and said, "It is said that this name was given by the Privy Councilor."
Niu Gao said excitedly: "I knew it was like this. In the whole world, only the Privy Councilor has this name. This is just like the person he is!"
Zhao Jingyan frowned and said, "General Niu, please be careful what you say."
"Ah. Oh, I definitely didn't mean it this way. Military advisor, please don't misunderstand me."
Niu Gao asked again: "Then has this heartless cannon been ashore?"
Zhuo Fei said: "It has been transported ashore."
"Then go and show me quickly."
As he said that, Niu Gao suddenly looked at Zhao Jingyan again and said, "Commander, I will excuse you for a while."
Zhao Jingyan did not object to this. After all, this was a new type of artillery. As a commander, he should have understood it. He nodded and said: "You go ahead, leave this place to me."
As soon as Niu Gao left, Wei Ming suddenly whispered to Zhao Jingyan: "Commander, do you think General Niu is aware of it?"
Zhao Jingyan raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Don't look at this guy as a rough guy, but he is actually very attentive. I think he has already noticed it."
Wei Ming looked shocked and said: "That---."
Zhao Jingyan interrupted him and said: "Any smart person will pretend to be ignorant at this time. Niu Gao is not a fool, so he knows what he should do. In fact, he is just here to fight. Just win this battle."
, there is no need for him to care about other things, and he is not qualified to care about them."
"Report---!"
A sentry came to Zhao Jingyan on a fast horse. Without even getting off his horse, he clasped his fists and said: "To inform the military advisor, our pursuit force encountered a counterattack by Yuan Weiyi north of Pipa Lake. Our army fought hard for half a day, but
In the end, Yuan Weiyi ran away."
"It's him again?"
Zhao Jingyan narrowed her eyes.
Wei Mingdao: "Strategic Advisor, this person should not be underestimated. It is said that the battle at Nosaka Mountain was his idea, and if he had not understood our plan in time and came to rescue Minamoto Yoshitaka, the Minamoto army might have been wiped out.
.”
"This man is indeed a talent." Zhao Jingyan said with a sudden smile and said: "But he is already a bereaved dog who can't even return home, so there is nothing to worry about. As long as Nan Bowan sends people to spy on them,
Wait until we can free up our hands before we deal with him."
Seeing Zhao Jingyan's confident look, Wei Ming knew that she must have arranged a way out for Yuan Weiyi, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Zhao Jingyan said again: "By the way, have all the merchants withdrawn?"
Wei Mingdao: "All our merchants have gone to Ezo Island."
Zhao Jingyan nodded and said, "That's enough."
