Chapter 690: The Japanese Raiders: Tsushima Fengyun (5)
The main city of Tsushima Island is in full bloom. The colorful trees among the green pine forests are particularly enchanting under the morning sunlight. The white castle, which is about ten feet high, has become a typical landmark. Ten miles east of Yanyuan is a mountain range of more than 30 miles long from north to south, and a winding mountain road is wrapped around the foot of the Kita-shan Mountain. This mountain road is only two feet wide, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. All the literati walk here are full of poetry. However, the old shogunate Sakai Tadari, who led the Japanese army to fight against the Japanese, seemed a little worried when riding a war horse.
Looking at the high morale marching line, it did not bring him much comfort. The Japanese army was not blocked or attacked during the march. Originally, this was a good thing, he could understand that the Ming Po Nu Army was arrogant and the Po Nu Army was too arrogant. Last night, the Japanese camp was a very good place to attack. He used nearly half of his military forces to guard against the enemy's sneak attacks. As a result, he heard the birds singing all night, which deepened Tadari Sakai's doubts. Tadari Sakai took off his helmet, wiped the sweat from the light on his head with a silk serpent, and then sorted out the short bun on the back of his head, and then clamped the horse's belly to continue moving forward.
Tadari Sakai knew that he had reached the flat ground east of Yanyuan Castle in less than ten miles, which was the most suitable place for the two sides to fight. At this moment, the vanguard Left Guard Captain Aoyama Jitachi sent someone to report that the enemy Posou Army set up a military formation in the east of Yanyuan Castle. This news still made Tadari Sakai breathe a sigh of relief. The Ming Posou Army really paid attention to benevolence and righteousness in the war. Although both sides were enemies of each other during the negotiations, they still respected their opponents very much. First of all, the Posou Army did not give up the gifts and did not do anything less. Since they had the strength, they had to compete with their opponents face to face. Tadari Sakai admired the general of the Ming Posou Army from the bottom of his heart.
Tadari Sakai, an old Japanese shogunate who was respectful to the Ming Dynasty's Possess Army, ran forward with several retainers in armor, and scolded the slow speed of the retainers who were chasing them with their feet, saying that the face of the Japanese shogunate was thrown away by these wastes. But Tadari Sakai came to the battle site and saw that the Possess Army opposite was full of momentum, but there were only a few pitiful people. He saw that the black armored Possess Army held a black battle flag in the west, and the three hundred infantry were lined up into three hundred-man military formations. These military formations were almost all musket soldiers, even the spearmen in the military formation were holding a musket. It should have been seen in the sword and shield hand of Sakai Tadari Sakai but couldn't find it after watching for a long time.
In Sakai Tadari's eyes, although the number of soldiers in the Ponu Army was not large, it made people feel that the army was emitting bloody aura. Sakai Tadari, who had fought some wars, still knew that the army that could emit such murderous aura was definitely the brave warrior who survived several bloody battles. Seeing this, Tadari Sakai couldn't help but nod. He believed that only these 300 Ponu Army could tie the 3,000 Japanese army. The Ponu Army's armor Shanghei Battle Flag is not complicated. There are several independent three-person teams in front of each army, only five feet away from the main formation.
The people who were wearing small battle flags on the back of the Pou Nu Army seemed to be low-level officers in the military formation. The few people were on the right side of the military formation. Moreover, the Pou Nu Army had a triangular black flag less than three feet high on the back of the warriors. On the other hand, due to their subordinates, the Japanese army had a four-foot bamboo battle flag with its daimyo badge in the center. The Japanese army managed their own teams according to the retainers assigned by each major name. It would be easy to win a battle. It was precisely because of the different ownerships that once a melee or retreat, it would be impossible to organize a counterattack again. Tadari Sakai discovered an interesting object, which was the main battle flag fluttering in the wind by the Pou Nu Army.
It seems that the Ponu Army is indeed a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. The battle flag it used was actually a wolf head with a bloody mouth on the grassland. The flag head wrote a few Chinese characters in the official script of Zhengyixingying. The wolf head was very exaggerated, and there was a red snack in his mouth. Everyone knew that the wolf in the grassland was eating meat, and the leader of the Ponu Army was not educated to let the wolf eat vegetarian food. As he looked at Sakai Tadari a little confused. The wolf head seemed not to have a snack in his mouth, but it seemed to have a red charcoal in his mouth. Finally, Sakai Tadari came back to his senses and realized that the wolf head was eating charcoal, which clearly told everyone that it was going to annex the entire Japan.
Tadari Sakai originally wanted to capture the powerful slave army and send them back to the Ming Dynasty. At this moment, Tadari Sakai wanted to wipe out the powerful slave army and nail them to a big tree. All those who covet the great Japanese country knew the Japanese's methods of treating the evil enemies. Tadari Sakai ordered the troops to quickly gather in an array, but at this moment, a small and continuous sound of muffled thunder came from the far east. Tadari Sakai looked up at the sky, and there were a few small white clouds floating in the blue sky, without any sign of rain. However, the thunder seemed to be getting more and more. Not only was there thunder in the east, but there was a cannon on the opposite side, as if the sound of muffled thunder began to sound around the Japanese army.
Tadari Sakai, the old man from the Japanese shogunate, seemed to be unable to see the horses everywhere, and the Ponu cavalry came out from the west, north and south. The appearance of the Ponu cavalry finally made Tadari Sakai feel the majesty of the overlord of the grassland. The perfect formation of the Ponu cavalry attacking in an orderly manner was even more neat than the Japanese infantry still in the whole team. The black armor and everyone had silver skull armor. This cavalry riding a tall war horse was like a demon soldier rushing out of hell. Just from the momentum of the Ponu army's indomitable momentum, Tadari Sakai felt deeply that this was a powerful soldier who had been through many battles.
The three sieges and one is the tactics of this cavalry army today. In the earliest formation of the Ponu Army, a thousand cavalry that followed came along lined up on the small formations. The dust raised by the cavalry war horses drifted to the Japanese position, scaring the more than 10,000 Japanese squads who were still in the formation were silly on the spot. Before the battle started, the Japanese army's morale was gone. As long as the Japanese army had fought, they knew that the infantry was no match for the cavalry on the broad battlefield. Today they saw the Ponu Army cavalry with almost the same number as theirs. As long as the Ponu Army cavalry disrupted the five Japanese formations, the Japanese could hardly see any hope of victory.
Once this man had no hope, their instinct to survive told them that surrendering on the battlefield was the way to survive, and that there would be actions when he had ideas. The young men who were still using a Takagi shield to build the peripheral obstacles of the formation slowed down the speed of the formation obstacles. The old man from the Japanese shogunate Tadao Sakai was sweating like a bean on his face, and he also saw that the Japanese army was in great danger today. In less than an hour, the Ponu cavalry, who surrounded the Japanese army, did not rush to attack, but lined up a hundred feet away from the Japanese army.
At this time, Tadari Sakai, who had been on a mission to the Possess Army after fighting the horse, Zuo Jing Shaojin Murakami Yuki pointed to the Possess Army position opposite and said, "Master, the person riding a red horse on the opposite side is the main envoy of the Possess Army with me!"
Murakami Yushi's words reminded Tadari Sakai that today's battle was almost certainly a complete defeat. The Japanese football teams were already afraid of war. If the Japanese army was defeated according to normal battles, it would be a foregone conclusion. Tadari Sakai called Akumiya to beside him and bent down to whisper to him. Akumiya Yushi listened but nodded. Then Akumiya took up the Sakai family's five-foot battle flag and walked west alone. At this time, Zhang Tong, the commander behind the Southwest Army of the Possess Army, rode on a horse to observe the entire battlefield. He saw that the Japanese army was extremely slow due to lack of training, and the Japanese army's array speed was even worse than that of the Ming border army.
He looked northeast and was very satisfied with the recent performance of the new deputy general Ximen Qing. No, it was Deputy General Chu Liuxiang. Or what Zhang Dashuai said makes sense. Chu Liuxiang is a man with many intestines and seduces the Japanese army in a few words. Zhang Tong once made a wish for Chu Liuxiang. If all the Japanese army came, Chu Liuxiang would be promoted to Third-class Deputy General Chu Liuxiang. In fact, Chu Liuxiang has been rising and lowered several times, and his qualifications are not inferior to Fu Ruige, the Fu Ruige is now the second-class deputy commander. If he earns some military merit this time, he can enter the ranks of senior commanders of the Po Slave Army.
The reason why the commander Zhang Tong watched the battle here was mainly because he was concerned about the firearm formation of more than 1,000 people in the opposite country. The Slave Army was never afraid of any cold weapon army. He valued the opponent's firearm troops or was worried about increasing casualties in the Slave Army in the war. Zhang Tong knew very well that this battle was different from the Slave Army's usual wars. Although the Japanese were less than six feet low, they were the favorite slaves of the Slave City people. If enough slaves could not be captured in this battle, the face of the Slave Army would be completely lost. When Zhang Tong saw a Japanese man holding a round petal battle flag and heading towards the Slave Army, Zhang Tong immediately sent a messenger to find Chu Liuxiang to negotiate. Zhang Tong gave Chu Liuxiang a military order and found a way to separate the Japanese officers.
Zhang Tong did this because the warriors and famous retainers in Japan who could fight were hardly able to do farming except for wars. Such abolished people were useless to the Po Slave Army. But these people were the most capable of fighting among the Japanese army. If the Japanese army lost the suppression of these people, the subsequent battle would be much more relaxed and pleasant. In fact, Chu Liuxiang smiled knowingly after receiving the order from Commander Zhang Tong. How could he not know the purpose of the Battle of the Po Slave Army? He was confident that the messenger would repay Zhang Tong, and asked the Commander to wait for the good news.
The Japanese envoy did not ride a horse, and Chu Liuxiang also rode a horse to the front of the formation and turned over and dismounted. He walked quickly towards his old acquaintance, Murakami Yuzhi, with a smile on his face. Both sides bowed to each other according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty in front of the formation. Murakami Yuzhi was still nervous at first, and it was rumored that he would not follow the rules when he broke the slave army in war, but when he saw Chu Liuxiang's gentle attitude, he immediately felt good about the grand and generous country.
"Are you safe when you haven't seen each other for many days?" Murakami Yuki took the lead in greetings.
"It's easy to say! It's easy to say! I feel very honored to meet the nobles. Although we are enemies on the battlefield, we are both sides and we are in a war and no one wants to see each other. What's the matter here?" Chu Liuxiang replied with a smile on her face, as if this was not a war but a chat.
"Your army's military power and ruling have greatly admired us. However, if you kill a thousand enemies and lose 800, can we find a way to quickly decide the outcome and not too much damage to both sides?" The suggestion of Japanese envoy Akira Murakami triggered an active response from the Deputy General of the Slave Army, Chu Liuka, who immediately had a fierce discussion on this issue on the battlefield.
