Chapter 423 Dongying, which suffered heavy losses (Part 2)(1/2)
"Cao Ren, a cavalry is coming! The number is about three thousand!"
Wang Yanzhang adjusted his breathing and tried his best to recover his strength.
He saw a cavalry holding a torch coming in the darkness, and judged that there were three thousand cavalrymen on the other side based on the sound of horse hooves.
"Know!"
Cao Ren divided a cavalry to stop him, and then retreated to the city with Wang Yanzhang.
The main force of the Han army was expeditioning the east, and Wang Yanzhang was facing the lineup of all Daming and all generals of the Japan Warring States Period, and it was still a bit difficult to attack.
Two thousand cavalry came forward to stop, and a fierce general came to kill, and the dragonfly cut off the Han cavalry facing him and killed him under his horse!
Honda Tadao was extremely fierce. He was the most powerful general in Japan's military power and killed dozens of cavalry under Cao Ren's command!
Two thousand cavalrymen were assaulted by three thousand cavalry led by Tadao Honda and were soon defeated!
Honda Zhongsheng rode his horse and attacked Cao Ren directly!
Cao Ren fought with Honda Tada Sheng with a gun. The two fought for several rounds, and Cao Ren was completely suppressed.
The emperor-level weapon cut off, cutting off Cao Ren's armor, leaving a blood mark!
It is said that Tadao Honda has followed Tokugawa Ieyasu since he was a child. He fought for 57 years in his life, and was injured. He had many beheadings and captured the city. He was known as the number one general of the Warring States Period and Zhang Fei of Japan.
Cao Ren was sniped by Honda Tada and was soon injured.
Wang Yanzhang's physical strength recovered slightly and he supported Cao Ren with a gun.
If Wang Yanzhang's physical strength is completely restored, he can fight against Ben Duo Zhongsheng. At this time, he can join forces with Cao Ren and block the Dragonfly Cut.
The dragonfly cut the gun blade at Wang Yanzhang's right hand holding the gun, and sparked sparks from the iron spear!
Wang Yanzhang let go of his right hand and only used his left hand to shoot Tadao Honda!
Tadakashi Honda took back the dragonfly and blocked the iron spear!
Honda Tada was in the Warring States Period of the United States and could almost attack any military general alone. Facing Wang Yanzhang, he could not kill directly, and he was surprised.
Wang Yanzhang's physical strength was consumed during the battle with the generals of the Takeda family. His current force was not as strong as Honda Tada. He was not greedy for war. If he cooperated with Cao Ren, he could block Honda Tada Tada.
Wang Tieqin, who was at the peak of his physical strength, wanted to fight Honda Tada to the death. Judging from his iron gun, he was still Honda Tada Tada Tada's dragonfly.
Thirty thousand Yellow Turban Army came to support Wang Yanzhang and Cao Ren, among which the Yellow Turban Clan was the long. Honda Tadao killed hundreds of Yellow Turbans. Seeing Wang Yanzhang and Cao Ren retreating into the city, he gave up the pursuit.
Even if he attacked the city with the force of his current most powerful general in the Warring States Period and was besieged by a group of Han troops, he would be killed in battle. Just as Wang Yanzhang was besieged by the Takeda family and his physical strength would be exhausted.
"Lord, if you fail to behead the enemy general, please punish me."
After Honda Tadao injured Cao Ren, he came back to meet Tokugawa Ieyasu and took the initiative to apologize.
At this time, the sky was slightly white, and Tokugawa Ieyasu withdraws from the army early, and the losses are not heavy.
"You behead thousands of people in this battle, and you have made merits and no mistakes."
Tokugawa Ieyasu has a strong preference for Tadao Honda who grew up with him, so naturally he cannot punish him.
The battle between the Han army and the Japanese army continued from night to early morning. After the Han army achieved its combat goals, it retreated back to the city like a tide.
The Han army only used a backup force to face the full Daming and all the generals in the middle and late stages of the Warring States Period, and the entire lineup of all the generals could not be completely annihilated. As long as it was severely damaged by the Japanese army.
The Han army in the city mainly had low-level troops, and the main force of high-level troops was expeditioning the east, while Oda Nobunaga and others mainly had high-level troops brought from the local government. Guo Ziyi and others had achieved considerable results. The flames burned down most of the Japanese army's camps, and the siege equipment suffered heavy losses. The Japanese army was unable to organize the siege in a short period of time.
Each of the great names counted their own losses, but more than a thousand people died of trampling on each other in chaos.
The Takeda family suffered the greatest losses, and five important historical military generals were killed. Among them, the leader of the Red Cavalry, the elderly Imoto Tomasa was killed by Wang Tieqiu with three shots, and his evening was lost. Sanada family's eldest son, Nobutsu Sanada, was killed by Cao Ren, and the Sanada family made enemies with the Han Empire.
Two important figures of the Maori family were killed, among which Maori Yuanyu's fourth son Maori Yuanqing was killed, and Maori Yuan fell ill because of this.
Oda Nobunaga, Uesugi Kenshin, Hojo Ichiyasu, Shimazu Takahiro and other daimyos each suffered losses, and all retainers were killed and injured in the battle here.
The Japanese daimyos retreated.
During the melee last night, the Persian army could not distinguish the situation, so they remained silent. The next day, the Persian Legion was shocked to learn that the Japanese Legion had been severely damaged, with dozens of generals and 50,000 casualties.
The tenacity of the Han army was beyond their imagination.
No one expected that there was a Han army ambush outside the city, and he waited patiently until ten days after the siege of the city before launching a raid.
Most of the siege equipment of the Japanese Legion were burned and had to be rebuilt.
And even more unfavorable news came.
"A ninja found out about the situation in the eastern battlefield. The Han Empire defeated the Mongol Empire and had occupied the main city in the eastern region. If you stay here, you may be wiped out."
In Oda Nobunaga's camp, the strategist Takenaka Half-Baiwei noticed that the Han army on the eastern battlefield might return to the main city in the western region.
"Can our martial arts end here? Even if we combine the power of the world, we cannot capture a main city?"
Oda Nobunaga has already been in the main world. He has a lot of popularity and has gained support from players and has expanded faster than expected. Kinishi Hideyoshi (Toyotomi Hideyoshi), Takenaka Halfee and others are all under his command, and Tokugawa Ieyasugi is his ally. Except for Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, and Maori Mori Moto, only a few nearby daimyos, no one can stop Oda Nobunaga's determination to be Fubu in the world.
As for Akichi Mitsuhide who betrayed Oda Nobunaga during the Honnoji Rebellion, he had already taken away his power by Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga got a lot of help from Inoki and avoided many twists and turns, so the expansion speed could be very fast!
Even so, Oda Nobunaga, who planned to capture the main city before the start of the National War, found that he had assembled all the names of Japan and could not even capture a main city.
It is extremely difficult to capture any main city. After the powerful Mongolian Empire captured one main city, it was defeated by three major civilizations when attacking the second main city.
The Japanese daimyos could not compete with the Mongol Empire, and even a main city was difficult to capture.
"Hyuki, are we fighting or retreating?"
Oda Nobunaga looked at the trusted Hideyoshita.
"There should be retreating, otherwise you will suffer greater losses."
"Notify other damings, rescue them, and return to the city."
After Oda Nobunaga lost confidence, he began to withdraw his troops.
Other daimyos heard that they would withdraw the initial city. Although they were unwilling to accept it, the main city in the west could not be conquered for a long time. More and more defenders would be recruited in the city, making the Japanese army even more dangerous.
The Japanese daimyos withdrew their troops. When Persian nobles heard that their temporary allies had retreated, they also disbanded and returned to their own city in Persia. Without the main city, they had other spoils - the population and points obtained on the battlefield of the national war.
There were only 300,000 people left in Japan and retreated to the rear of the eastern battlefield.
Wei Qing, Zhang Liao, Yang Ye, Lanling King and other cavalry generals led 50,000 cavalry to come quickly, and encountered the retreating Japanese army and immediately attacked fiercely!
The two legions encountered on the plains, and Takeda's cavalry, who served as the vanguard of the Japanese legion, was severely injured again! Takeda's cavalry had less than 20,000, and 50,000 Han cavalry galloped past, and the high-level Red-Bai cavalry was killed and injured!
"Tada Legion was assaulted!"
The cavalry in front informed the back.
"If we don't fight hard, we will be eliminated. Only by joining forces can we survive!"
Oda Nobunaga, Kenshin Uesugi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and others understand that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. Only by fighting desperately can they avoid being defeated!
The elite troops were involved in the cavalry battle with Wei Qing and others, and the Oda family and Shimazu family invested in their own iron artillery team!
The dense sound of iron cannons sounded, and the convex guns shot at the Han cavalry, frightening the war horses, and hundreds of Han cavalry were shot and killed.
This is not the first time that the Han cavalry has encountered a contrailer.
Facing Oda, Shimazu's iron artillery team could only defeat them by stepping forward and killing these group of convex gunmen with a sabre.
"You guys go and kill the bullet gunman!"
Two powerful generals Yang Ye and Zhang Liao were ordered by Wei Qing to wipe out the iron artillery teams from the Oda family and Shimazu family.
The iron artillery team can cause casualties to heavy cavalry. Ordinary armor cannot withstand the penetration of the convex gun, so their iron artillery team must be wiped out!
A group of Satsuma samurai protects the iron artillery team of Shimazu family. Shimazu Yakuha, who had an argument with Mi Zhu, personally led the Satsuma samurai to use dense spears and naginata to block Yang Ye and Zhang Liao's cavalry.
The battlefield was very chaotic, and all the daimyos were gritting their teeth and entering the war.
Tadao Honda was once again thrown into the battlefield by Tokugawa Ieyasu. He attacked Lanling King fiercely and fought against Lanling King!
Seeing that King Lanling was in a tough battle, Zhang He came to help King Lanling with a gun and deal with the current number one strong general in Japan.
"Take your head!"
Honda Tadao's dragonfly shines with a cold light and slashes towards Zhang He!
Zhang He's spear was cut off, and the gun blade tore his armor apart!
The King of Lanling quickly came to rescue him with a spear, blocking the dragonfly's cut, and his arms were trembling.
The smoke of gunpowder was filled with gunpowders, and the cavalry, archers and iron artillery teams fought. The two sides fought for a long time, each with injuries. The Japanese army was attacked on the way to retreat and temporarily gathered to fight, so the losses were even greater.
After being weakened by Wei Qing, the Japanese army was only less than 300,000. The various Japanese army names joined forces, Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshita, Hideyoshi Kinakawa Ieyasugi all have the halo of the entire army, enough to cover the 300,000 army.
They alternated with each other and carefully left under the peeping of the Han cavalry.
Wei Qing did not order a pursuit, and most of the Japanese army can survive to this day are high-level troops who have experienced many battles, and Wei Qing has few high-level cavalry under his command.
The high-level cavalry of the Han army successively fought against the Mughals, Persia, Ottomans, Mongolia, and Germany, and lost more than half. Most of the cavalry brought by Wei Qing to support the main city in the western region were low-level cavalry.
Even so, Wei Qing still attacked the Japanese army and weakened its forces to less than 300,000.
The National War ended in less than two months, and the Japanese Legion had little time to replenish its troops and had little threat to the main city of the Han army.
"General Zhang He was injured!"
In the legion commanded by Wei Qing, Zhang He was injured by the imperial-level weapon of Tadao Tadakasaki. The Lanling King, who also belonged to Yuan Shao's camp, looked solemn.
