Chapter 57 The Fiasco of the Anti-Sneak Attack
Tian Yidomoto stood on the city wall, looking down at the Japanese pirates and samurai who were dispatched at night, all with bamboo weapons on their backs. They were touching the dark night and heading towards Liu Qiu's camp and attacked. This time, Tian Yidomoto was thinking of a sneak attack. In fact, Tian Yidomoto did not intend to take such a risk, but hunger had seriously troubled them. If they wanted to fight without being hungry, they would have food.
There was food in the Liuqiu military camp. Tian Yidomoto, who took the risk, immediately summoned people to attack in the late night. In the early morning, it was the time for people to sleep the most tired and deepest. Anyway, they had enough sleep in the morning, and there were also interference tactics. At this time, I am afraid that the expeditionary army on the Liuqiu had already been exhausted.
The idea is good, but it is not that good to do it. Tian Yitube's outdated technique has long been seen through. The silly Tian Yitube thought that the strategy was very useful. Relying on drinking the Chinese military calligraphy several times, he began to send people to attack him with a self-righteous attitude. He had no idea that Xue Rengui from Liu Qiu had already started to use the trick!
Tian Yidomoto turned his head and looked at his subordinates around him, and began to instruct, "Yoxi, Sakata Ichiki and the others successfully got out, Takata Sakura, you took people to sneak past him from the right wing, Sakata Ichiki and the others started sneak attacking, you robbed food and grass from the right wing! Sakata Ichiki is going to die, do you understand?"
"Hi!" Takada Sakura nodded and turned away under the cold-blooded sword swing of Tian Yitomoto. He knew Tian Yitomoto's intention and sacrificed Sakata Ichiki to achieve the glorious task of robbing grain. It is an indisputable fact that the Japanese pirates are severely short of food, and it is not solved without solving the problem of food. All Japanese pirates and samurai fight on hungry.
Takada Sakura counted out a thousand Japanese pirates and samurai soldiers when they left the city gate, and there was a silence around them. After Takada Sakura found that there was no movement, she breathed a sigh of relief. Takada Sakura was not afraid of anything, just because she was afraid of suddenly encountering sneak attacks. More than a thousand Japanese pirates and samurai soldiers followed him and slowly walked out of the city gate, fearing that the sudden emergence of Liu Qiu soldiers.
"Baga! There is an ambush! Close the city gate!" Tian Yidomoto watched Takada Sakura leave the city gate, and suddenly found the black shadows outside the city shaking, although it was not very obvious. However, it could not be concealed by the cautious Tian Yidomoto. In addition, the two armies are now facing each other, if the city of Tampo is lost, it will be very fatal to Kyoto.
"It's just right time, rush!" Li Dezhang saw that the time was just right, and immediately called on the lurking cavalrymen to charge for a long time, picked up the crossbows he equipped to shoot at the city gate. Buzzing... The overwhelming rain of arrows shot straight towards the unprepared Takada Sakura, who was attacked, was completely stunned.
Takada Sakura was attacked by a long-awaited trophy brother. When he realized that he had fallen down two or three hundred people, he lost so many people at once. Takada Sakura was a little panicked. More than 500 fully armed armored cattle cavalry rushed over with murderous aura. The cow's hooves wrapped in cloth in the darkness did not make any noise. When Takada Sakura's team was about to return to the city, the city gate was closed.
The rippling rain of arrows attacked like locusts. The powerful crossbows flew backwards, and the powerful ones directly penetrated their bodies and nailed them to the edge of the city wall. Some even nailed them to the city gates. Japanese pirates and warriors without armor protection fell down a large area of vulnerable areas. After a round of crossbow shooting, it was the charge of the Iron Cavalry.
"Baga! Between the trap! Leave here and lead Liu to ambushes!" Takada Sakura didn't know whether to greet Tian Yido at this time? Or to greet Liu to ambushes. Takada Sakura, who was unlucky to go out, was very aggrieved and called on his subordinates to avoid the edge for the first time. Li Dezhao and their murderous charge made Takada Sakura feel scared.
The ignorant Japanese pirates cast bamboo javelins, trying to stop the attack of the iron cavalry. Facing the iron cavalry armed to the teeth, the fragile bamboo javelin hit the armor and broke in response, without any use at all, and could not hurt the opponent's iron shell-like armor. Takada Sakura almost had the urge to vomit blood, and his subordinates' ignorance made him very annoyed.
"Baga, retreat!" Takada Sakura caught a frightened Japanese pirate warrior and pushed forward, blocking the second round of crossbow shooting. Takada Sakura, who had no time to think about anything, abandoned the dumb Japanese pirate warriors and followed a small number of Japanese pirate warriors to evacuate the city gate. It was impossible to enter the city. Tian Yido would not open the city gate.
"Arrowman shooting!" Tian Yidomoto waved his hand in anger and signaled his subordinates to pull the bow and shoot the arrows, trying to injure some Iron Cavalrymen. Although it was a bit ignorant, there was nothing he could do. It was better than nothing he could do. The Iron Cavalry's super defense made Tian Yidomoto urge to vomit blood.
"Damn it, I'm late. I'll kill all the Japanese pirates who ran out. I won't leave any of them and shoot them from a long-range shot!" I found that the city gate was closed, Li Dezhao was not discouraged, and Xue Rengui did not force him to break through the city gate. He just let Tian Yidobe steal chickens and lose rice. He just taught him a lesson. There is no need to waste energy here.
"What kind of cavalry is this?!" Tian Yidumoto found the two donkeys' cavalry vanguards, Li Dezhao and Li Debei, and was stunned. Even the Japanese pirates and warriors around Tian Yidumoto were also stunned. They had never seen the donkeys and Japanese pirates. The donkeys that looked like horses and horses made them see the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!
The fierce cattle cavalry was shocking enough at first, but now the generals were riding strange mounts, but the busy donkey was indeed a bit unsatisfactory. The bull rider ran without a trace. The brothers Li Dezhang and Li Debei were still driving the slow donkey. The two very sad brothers were so angry that they almost vomited blood by the donkey.
Tian Yidomoto discovered the slow donkey of Li Dezhao and Li Debei, and immediately grinned and said with a smile: "Yoxi, Qiushanqing, you will immediately lead a hundred people to capture these two Liu Qiu generals. If you can't catch them, you will die, do you understand? Get out!"
"Hi!" Akiyama Qing bowed and bent down to answer the command of Tian Yidomoto to take the order to go down the city wall, and went to some people to arrest Li Dezhao and Li Debei. The departure of the cattle cavalry was left with them and they were easy to deal with. Moreover, Tian Yidomoto didn't think much about it. As for whether the cattle cavalry were lurking or something, he didn't know. Anyway, he was talking about it when he caught them first.
"Brother, your trick is not useful? If the Japanese pirates don't come out, aren't we wasting our time in vain?" Li Debei pretended to be whispering to beat the donkey, and asked Li Dezhao in a low voice. He had already passed the city gate dozens of steps. Apart from the scattered rain of arrows on the Japanese pirates' city wall, he did not find any pursuit soldiers coming out.
Li Dezhang didn't mean to be anxious, and shook his body and drove the donkey and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, second brother. You are worried that you can't eat hot tofu. Don't you understand such a simple truth? Wait, these Japanese pirates will be deceived. At that time, our donkey general Daming will be famous!"
"I hope this is the case!" Li Debei did not express much support for Li Dezhang's words, and it was a bit risky. If the Japanese pirates dispatched a large number of troops, they would be in trouble. Then I don't know how to avoid the Japanese pirates' attack. If there is a problem with the ambush, whether they can arrive in time.
"Here, my second brother, prepare for a big fight! Don't lose your father's face!" Li Decai was depressed, and the city gate suddenly opened, and the sound of opening the city gate was heard from a distance. Li Decai immediately hung up the crossbow and drew out the military-friendly steel barricade from the donkey's back.
"Silly!" Qiushanqing rushed out at the first time, of course, he was the kind of running on two legs. The mount was a luxury for Japanese pirates. Even if there were any, it would have become a thing in his stomach. People were so hungry that they would not eat when they were hungry? At least the donkeys of Li Dezhao and Li Debei were good food!
More than a hundred bamboo warriors rushed out. The weapons of these bamboo warriors were pretty good, at least not simple with sharpened bamboos. The bamboo was tied with semi-iron weapons with broken iron and sharpened sharp edges on its head. For the Japanese pirates like today's primitive society, these weapons were well equipped, and other places were still stabbed with sharpened bamboos.
Being backward is destined to be beaten. The Japanese pirates are also overwhelmed by the sea warships, and everything else is unattractive. Especially in weapons, the Central Plains have always restricted arms trading. Apart from the eliminated weapons, brand new weapons will not be provided to the enemy country. Even the Japanese pirates like pugs will trade them the abandoned weapons that are ready to be eliminated. Isn’t it?
Li Dezhang was frustrated for a long time and pulled out his own obstacle knife to welcome Qiu Shanqing's charge. He turned his head and shouted at Li Debei: "Damn it, I'm afraid you Japanese pirates won't be able to retreat. Good opportunity, second brother, let's put on a signal flare! I missed it and didn't have the next time! Hurry up!"
Under Li Dezhang's instructions, Li Debiao did not say anything. He took out a firecracker-like feather from the donkey's back, ignited it with a fire sickle, and shot it into the sky with a crossbow. Bang~ The dazzling little fireworks exploded in the sky. Then Li Debiao pulled out his own obstacle knife and fought with Li Dezhang with the Qiushanqing team that charged over.
After the fireworks exploded, there were waves of vibrations coming from the ground. Even Tian Yidomoto, who was on the city wall, felt it. Tian Yidomoto's eyes quickly contracted, and black cavalry teams emerged around both sides of the city gate. More than 2,000 cavalrymen appeared again, ambushing! This is the real ambush!
"Close the city gate! Baga! These guys from Liuke are so bad, so close..." Tian Yidomoto almost had the urge to vomit blood. The terror of the five hundred cavalry cavalry at the beginning was just a cover. The real ambush of the two thousand cavalry. If they charge in, even if there are 50,000 people in his city are not enough to kill them!
Swish, swish, swish, swish... A series of rains of arrows fell into the sky. When the cattle cavalry ran, the bows and arrows borrowed from the hunters played a role. Due to the limited production of crossbows, there was no way to measure and produce them for a while. They had to requisition all hunters' bows and arrows at Liu Qiu. At this time, it was just used to shoot the Japanese pirates and samurai on the city wall.
Tian Yidomoto almost screamed, shouting at the Japanese pirates and swearing at the Japanese pirates below. Under the cover of the samurai, under the dense rain of arrows, he retreated to a safe place. The Japanese pirates behind the city gate struggled to close the heavy city gate. The cattle cavalry armor was thin but practical, and he directly ignored the Japanese pirates' javelins to fight back.
"Drop the hidden weapon!!" Seeing that the iron cavalry was getting closer and closer to the city gate, Tian Yidomoto gritted his teeth and immediately ordered the warriors behind him to throw away the so-called hidden weapon, the Four Corner Darts. This is the hidden weapon created by the Japanese pirates' last iron storage. As long as people or beasts step on it, they will definitely jump up in pain. Of course, these Four Corner Darts Tian Yidomoto had added materials and poison!
The Japanese pirates and warriors on the city wall immediately threw out hundreds of four-corner darts, and no one could see clearly what was underneath in the dark night. Tian Yidomoto smiled fiercely, waiting for the iron cavalry and cavalry to charge. As soon as they charge, the cow hooves step on the four-corner darts, keeping them back and forth!
"Huh!" Li Dezhang shouted loudly, holding the barrier knife in his hands tightly and swept across the army with one move. When the bamboo weapons in the Japanese pirate warriors blocked foolishly, they all broke through the body by the sharp barrier knife, and pulled out a long piece of blood. A large area of rolling on the ground fell down with the howling pain. The barrier knife in Li Dezhang, who was killing all directions, harvested the lives of the Japanese pirate warriors.
"Go to die!!" Li Debei jumped up high with a stern slash. With a sword, Qiushan Qing didn't even have the courage to block it. He was directly broken into two halves by Li Debei. The body was divided into two halves and dropped a large area of disgusting intestines and other organs. The bloody dismemberment made the surviving Japanese pirates and warriors flee in panic.
"Ah~ah..." The iron cavalry bull cavalry who were running quickly and charged into battle suddenly screamed. More than a dozen cavalrymen in the front row of the power forward suddenly rolled to the ground like a slip. The cavalry came from the cattle herd and rolled. The cavalrymen who were unable to react were directly trampling on their partners' bodies, and the casualties continued one after another.
Tian Yidomoto looked down at the cavalry who had dozens of bulls falling under the city wall. He laughed and said with a laugh: "Hahaha... Yosi, Yosi, come on. The more and more you come, the better. Yamato Warriors, Rolling Stones, please greet them! We have meat to eat tonight!"
"Damn it! Retreat!" Li Dezhang also discovered that the cattle cavalry was in trouble. He immediately picked up the horns of the donkey's back and blew the sound of retreating. The city gate closed again and failed to charge and lost as many as two or three hundred cavalry, which was very heavy casualties. Li Dezhang, who was quick to see the opportunity, did not make a quick move, but decisively ordered the retreat. He himself could not figure out what evil was in the cavalry.
The bull cavalry, who charges quickly and retreats quickly, turned around and flashes. The retreat order has sounded, and the soldiers who died of trampling on the ground have no time to take care of it. They retreat directly to the camp. I don’t know what evil things are on the edge of the city gate, but the bull cavalry armed to the teeth falls down. This is a very evil thing, so I’d better go back first and make plans.
The Japanese pirates in Danbo City came cheering and clamoring. The celebratory shouts made Li Dezhang feel a sense of shame, but there was nothing we could do, because the main camp had already sent a signal to withdraw the troops. According to Xue Rengui's wish, if the gate of Danbo City cannot be captured within a quarter of an hour, they will retreat immediately and will not be able to fight.
What made Li Dezang vomit blood was that among the cattle cavalry that had retreated safely, hundreds of cows fell down one after another. The unresponsive cavalry were injured by hundreds of people. Fortunately, the remaining cavalrymen dragged the wounded and the dying cattle back. Fortunately, they equipped the army with ropes to prepare for the unsatisfactory needs.
When Li Dezhang and Li Debei returned to the main business one mile away, the main business gate was full of dead Japanese pirates attacking the warriors. Xue Rengui and Zhuge You stood at the main business gate, looking suspiciously at the back of the two brothers Li Dezhang and Li Debei. Through their team, one can see something clearly, loss, and loss again.
"What's going on?" Xue Rengui found out that the bull cavalry was strange, and actually dragged back with hundreds of dead cavalry. The injured cavalry sat directly with the safe and sound cavalry. After counting the number of people, Xue Rengui found that the two thousand cavalry had actually decreased by one-third, which was a very difficult fact that Xue Rengui could not accept.
Under Xue Rengui's ugly expression, Li Dezhuan knelt on one knee with a look of shame and regret, bowed his hand and said, "General, we two brothers have a high hopes for the general. They have been trapped by the Japanese pirates and lost hundreds of cavalrymen. The last general knows that they can't escape the blame, and I hope the general will punish you!"
Xue Rengui looked at Li Dezhao with an expressionless face, and did not blame them more. Instead, he sighed and shook his head and said, "Get up! How will someone punish your sins? Drag the cows that died in battle and check what happened. Xiao Qianfeng, you immediately order five thousand people to welcome the island master. Go, be careful on the way!"
"After the order!" Xiao Jinshan stood up from the side and took the order down. He also knew the news that Qin Shou was coming. Before the Japanese pirates came, soldiers who were leading the way had already arrived overnight to report. Xue Rengui didn't know why Qin Shou came in person.
The two brothers Li Dezang and Li Debei blushed. They lost so many people in the first battle. They couldn't blame themselves. They even began to wonder if they were the materials they were leading soldiers. The loss was so heavy. The most shameless purpose was that the dead soldiers' bodies remained in Danpo City and could not be dragged back.
Xue Rengui did not go to see the faces of the two brothers Li Dezang and Li Debei, but walked directly to the dead cow. Under the illumination of the guards with torches, he began to check the cause of the cow's death. He was not shot or injured. After he took off the armor on the cow's body, there was basically nothing unusual except for the smell of sweat on the cow's body.
"General, look, what is this? Wait, don't move, be careful to be poisonous!" After carefully looking at the cow's body from head to tail, Zhuge You directly began to check the problem of the cow's hooves. He immediately found that the cow's hooves were strange. The hard cow's hooves exposed a long wound. There were even strange iron tools that were bent inside, and a trace of black blood was flowing out.
When a Liu Qiuyuan consecrator wanted to pull out the iron tool by his hand, he was immediately stopped by Zhuge You. Through the black blood color, Zhuge You knew that these things must be poisonous, otherwise how could such a strong cow fall down? After Zhuge You borrowed a barrier knife, he directly dug out the culprit's iron tool from the cow's hooves.
