The dry land on the river bank was full of war, and galloping war horses and messy crowds were everywhere.The huge noise made people feel as if everyone was shouting.
Every time the heavy iron hooves step on the ground, they make a striking and thumping sound.
In the eyes of Japanese soldiers, Mongolian horses and Tibetan horses are also tall horses.
Everyone on the horse's back was covered in iron armor, and looked extremely terrifying.
A column of horses rushed around.
Oh... A warrior roared in a stern manner, holding a Japanese sword in both hands, staring at the rushing cavalry.
He glared his eyes widened and gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind to die.
In the blink of an eye, the war horse rushed to the front, and the huge black shadow blocked the sky ahead. The warrior waved the Japanese sword, but his body did not control it. When he came to his senses, the sword light flashed and the condescending slash had already reached his head.
The Japanese soldiers turned around and ran away, but were soon caught up by the cavalry. The slash and slash were storms and bloody, and the screams of screams and fear were deafening.The alive Japanese infantry were already in chaos.
A warrior not far away was screaming angrily. He kept moving his position nearby, waving his Japanese sword, and watching the extremely fast cavalry rushing through the surroundings.
The man's anger was filled with fear and helplessness.
A raging fire broke out on the wooden bridge on the river, and the main Japanese army on the other side had already lit the bridge.
The crowds on the bridge were chaotic and crowded; some were rushing westward, some turned around and wanted to go back when they saw the fire, crowded in the middle, and people kept falling into the river or jumping into the water on their own initiative.
On the shore were a row of Ming soldiers and horses, and the cavalry who had dismounted their horses kept drawing bows and shooting arrows into the river, just like shooting targets in line.The body was filled with arrow feathers, floating on the water.
Among the riots, someone shouted in Japanese: Those who surrender will avoid death!Some people also learned Japanese shouting in unison, but their pronunciations were not very standard. I wonder if the Japanese could understand the meaning.
The scene of the sprint and fighting gradually began to ease, and many people surrendered, especially the infantry wearing pointed bamboo hats, and many surrendered.
Someone in the crowd shouted again: Marshal Ping is mighty!mighty……
Ping An held the war horse and sat on the horse's back. While taking out a delicately embroidered handkerchief and wiping the blood on the iron axe, he also watched the fire on the river and the scene on the other side.
The flat flag is written on the battlefield.If the scout sent recently came back, you will definitely be able to find peace easily.But Ping An has not received any news about the location of the water.
However, judging from the speed and width of the river, there are definitely some places that can wader across the river.
Ping An hung the axe on his back and said: Let the prisoners throw away their weapons and gather together, leaving thirty cavalry to escort the palace behind.The remaining divisions, follow me to the south!
Get order!The personal soldiers beside him responded with fists.
Ping'an selected another young general and waved him to come: Choose a follower all the way, return to the camp immediately, and report the situation here to General Sheng.
The young general asked: Should I ask the Central Army to send reinforcements?
Ping An said: Nothing needs to be said. General Sheng has many soldiers and scouts far away. He can grasp the overall situation, so we don’t have to talk too much.
The young general clasped his fists and said: Get the order.We will say goodbye at the end.
The troops prepared and set off again.
Ping'an led his army to travel south along the river bank for a while, and then he met the people sent by the scouts.
So the scouts took everyone to the shallow water.
The tribes successively crossed the river and reached the west bank.
In less than half an hour, Ping'an got the position of the remaining Japanese troops from the scouts and led the army along the way.
After the Japanese army left the West Bank, they changed their routes and continued to march southward.
They should also know that running north is a dead end, and there is a peninsula terrain.
However, the main force of the Japanese army's infantry was obviously unable to rely solely on itself and get rid of the cavalry's tracking.
The Ming cavalry discovered that most of the Japanese army was near a low-lying dam.There are forests on this flat field and on both sides of the east and west, but the mountains here are not big and not tall.
From a distance, some Japanese troops were going up the mountain, and several long dragons could be seen on the hillside.
There were still some people at the foot of the mountain guarding a green paddy field, and arranged infantry teams behind the rice fields, or hundreds of people.
After watching Ping An for a while, I saw the Japanese camp at the foot of the mountain, with rice fields on three sides and forests on the east side; there were only narrow ridges in the middle of the rice fields, and there should be water and mud under the rice, so people and horses could not run away in the paddy fields.
Go and call Zuo Heng's first and second general flag teams over there, touch the enemy's backs along the woods at the foot of the mountain, and immediately rushed to the scene.Ping An ordered.
Get order!
Ping'an said again: There are three general flag teams here, waiting by the front field ridge, waiting for an opportunity to attack in a single row and rush across the field ridge.The rest went to the forest to support.
The troops gathered to the south side of a rice field one after another. The soldiers dismounted and stood on the ground and watched the scene at the foot of the mountain.
The rice field in front is composed of many small paddy fields, with irregular ridges and roads in the middle, but they are all relatively narrow.
The two armies were nearly two hundred steps apart and were outside the range of bows and arrows.
The air in the afternoon was very clean and the vision was clear, so you could see the movements and stillness of both sides.
The Japanese army probably saw the movement of the Ming army around the foot of the mountain because they were dispatching infantry and entering the forest south of it.
Soon, there were vague screams and shouts in the forest. But people in the distance couldn't see clearly and didn't know what was happening inside.
After waiting for a while, a cavalry column ran out of the woods and launched an attack on the enemy behind the rice fields.
The sound of strings continued, and the cavalry team had been divided into small groups, running in and out between the woods and the arid wasteland fields.
Ping'an pointed to a flag next to a gankan and said: The small flag team there, set off with a shield and attacked in a single line.
The last one will get orders!A general clasped his fists and then raised his cherry gun and shouted, "Brothers, kill!"
Ten riders rushed up to the ridge and jogged forward in sparse formation along the path.
The front rider rushed to about a hundred steps, immediately slapped his horse and accelerated, shouting and rushing over.
An arrow flew in the air, and soon the cavalry company caught many arrows and fell into the rice fields.
The horse was also neighed by arrows and stepped into the rice.
The second rider rushed over and fell off the horse after being shot. The empty horse ran along the path and crossed the rice fields.
well!Next to Ping An, a soldier clenched his fists and pounded his palm nervously.
But Ping An still kept his face and waited quietly.
The people in the rice fields were not dead, and they were still struggling to walk back in the mud.
The Japanese mainland division was an elite in the Beijing camp and was well-equipped; the cavalry were all wearing iron armor and did not seem to have been shot at the critical point.
The second small flag team then went to Tiankan and set off with guns and shields.
At this moment, two teams of Ming cavalry rushed to the rice fields one after another, and the Japanese archers were chased and fled everywhere.
The cavalry on Ping'an took advantage of the situation and rushed forward.
A Japanese infantry shouted and rushed towards Tian Kan.
Under the shouts of the generals, the squads from various Ming army quickly gathered into a slightly larger group of horses, and then rushed straight to the back of the Japanese reinforcements.
The scene gradually began to be chaotic, and more and more Ming cavalry rushed through the rice fields along the narrow ridge path.
Ping'an then rushed over, and he led his personal soldiers to attack a group of messy Japanese troops that had not yet dispersed.
A group of iron horses rushed into a flock of sheep and quickly drove out a path. Ping An swung the iron axe. The heavy axe had too much impact and no one could withstand it.
The round shield in his left hand was also forged iron. Occasionally, he blocked the Japanese sword and directly broke the enemy's sword.
clang!Ping An lightly held the iron shield and blocked a Japanese sword, and the warrior staggered beside him.
In an instant, Ping An hung his body on one side, and while throwing the round shield, he twisted the warrior's armor and lifted the man up.
The war horse neighed and rushed out violently.
General Ping, a large number of enemy troops on the mountain have come down!Someone shouted.
Ping'an looked up and turned around and said, "Ming Jin to withdraw his troops."
Get order!The personal soldiers responded.
Ping An took an axe and knocked it gently on the neck of the warrior in his arms, shouting while running: South!Take the injured brother and leave!
The cavalry teams around them shouted in unison: The whole army retreated south!
The columns rushing everywhere gradually closed the banners and ran into the forest one after another.
The trees in Japan seem to grow very sparsely, and there will be no obstacles for cavalry to run away from the forest.
The troops slapped their horses to evacuate the battlefield and left the foot of the mountain for a distance before Ping An stopped.
Ping An turned his horse's head, looked at the nearby mountain, and said: If you guard the high ground, you will easily be besieged and die.
The general asked: General Ping, are we going to surround this mountain?
Ping'an said in surprise: How can hundreds of people surround him?Hurry up and find a place to camp on all sides and stare at the Japanese army first.If they have other reinforcements, we can wait for an opportunity to retreat.
The general hurriedly said: General is wise.
Ping An threw the samurai who fainted in his arms under the horse and said: Wake up, who can speak birds singing? Are you dead?
After a while, a man without armor came on a horse and dismounted and saluted Ping An.
Ping An swaggered on the horse's back and said: Ask, where are they going?
The man rumbling, but the warrior kept silent and ignored it.
Ping'an said again: Tell him that we have captured no less than a hundred people.Finally, I asked him, if someone told the news first, he would chop his hands and feet and feed the dog.
Not long after, the translator reported to Heian: These men were defenders of Shima County and received the order to withdraw from Ouchi Moriji.They were going to retreat to the valley on the southern foot of Bofu Mountain, build multiple barriers and defend the roads on the spot.The younger one asked him where Bofu Mountain was.He said that to the east of this place, the only way to the plains of Kasuya-gun.
Ping'an was silent for a while, and suddenly said: Send three messengers to tell General Sheng that we will go to the valley south of Bofu Mountain.A small flag team was sent to send the wounded soldiers to the camp to find their brothers.Call the brothers and set off.
All the people around were surprised.Because Ping An makes a decision every time, the time is too short, and most people can easily feel like a joke.
A member of the department said: What should we do if the enemy troops trapped in the mountains?
Heian said: That was something the Japanese generals considered.
The general asked again: What should I do if the prisoners do?
Ping An said: The one wearing armor cut off, and the one hanging bamboo strips were placed.
Every time the heavy iron hooves step on the ground, they make a striking and thumping sound.
In the eyes of Japanese soldiers, Mongolian horses and Tibetan horses are also tall horses.
Everyone on the horse's back was covered in iron armor, and looked extremely terrifying.
A column of horses rushed around.
