Global time travel

Chapter 354

Zhengyuan City.

Hyuga Munehide's expression was very solemn. The fierce fighting on the battlefield was still continuing. The soldiers were violently attacking one after another. It had lasted for almost three hours. Although they had climbed onto the city wall many times, they were bravely attacked every time. The defenders were repulsed, and he began to feel that something was wrong. Zhengyuan City should have only had six thousand defenders, but now it seemed that there were at least ten thousand, and these more than a thousand archers were so powerful. The local garrison of these Yanhuang tribes were also like this. Is it powerful?
During these three hours, nearly [-] corpses were left under the city, but Zhengyuan City was still as stable as a rock.

Among the four city gates, although Hinata Zongxiu personally led an army of [-] to attack the west gate, but because Fang Shaochuan gathered here with the elite troops of the Second Dragon Army Division, he hardly felt the pressure. Only Kazushi Muto attacked the south gate The battle was fierce, and Kazushi Muto was a man of extraordinary bravery. Every time he attacked the city, he took the lead and regarded death as home, which greatly boosted the morale of the troops, and fought hard against the [-] defenders at the south gate.In terms of the overall battle situation, the Third Army actually dealt with it quite easily when faced with a force ten times larger than its own. Opening a gap is always just killing your life in vain.

Fang Shaochuan led Tian Cong, Qiao Yueyi and others to stand on the west city, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. Occasionally, thieves would attack the city wall, but they would soon be surrounded and killed by the soldiers of the Second Dragon Soldier Division. Already on top of the city Thousands of enemy corpses were left behind, the remains of broken arms could be seen everywhere, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Fang Shaochuan frowned slightly, and said to Tian Cong in a low voice: "Now is a good time for a pincer attack. If it is delayed, the bandits may not dare to attack again."

It is understandable for him to be worried like this. The rebel army seems to be attacking fiercely, but in fact, the casualties caused to the defenders are minimal. Zhengyuan City has not suffered any substantial threat. If the attack cannot be taken for a long time, morale will decline, especially these are thieves. Soldiers are not elite troops with a strong will.

"Legion Commander, rest assured."

Tian Cong said calmly: "The bandit army is suffering heavy casualties and their morale is low. I think Rixiang Zongxiu is already thinking of retreating. Commander Chi and Deputy Commander Bai are both battle-hardened. It is impossible not to see this. They It should be done soon."

Sure enough, Fang Shaochuan looked at the large formation of bandits in the distance, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, hearing a messy voice coming from a distance.

Looking far away, there seemed to be a wave surging on the horizon. Fang Shaochuan's eyes were bright, and he said, "Here we come..."

Tian Cong also took a look, and added: "It's the Dragon Tooth Group."

The Dragon Tooth Regiment has a full strength of more than [-] men, Duan Qi took away a thousand, and the remaining [-] cavalrymen were all dispatched at this moment, forming a torrent and rushing into the battlefield at extremely fast speeds.

Bai Jisheng and several Gao Zhan took the lead, and the cavalry behind them were all advancing at full speed.

Hyuga Zongxiu felt the ground tremble slightly, and there was a rumbling sound from nowhere. At this time, a personal guard shouted loudly: "Commander, the enemy army is found in the rear. They are Chinese cavalry! Behemoth cavalry!"

Hyuga Zongxiu turned his head sharply, thousands of monsters appeared behind the army formation at some point, billowing smoke and dust, rushing towards them overwhelmingly.

Most of the generals, including Takigawa Kota, all changed their faces drastically, with deep fear in their eyes.

Hyuga Zongxiu's pupils shrank sharply, his whole body was covered with chills, and he thought: Where did this team of cavalry come from?Didn't the main force of the enemy force go north?
The Dragon Tooth Regiment rushed forward in the blink of an eye, and the rear formation of Amaterasu's bandit army immediately fell into a panic.

"The spearmen form a good formation, kill the mounts first, and then kill the enemy army, and the others don't mess up, and maintain a good formation." Takigawa Kota roared loudly, commanding the Chinese army to form a formation to fend off the cavalry who are all within easy reach shock.

The cavalry of the Dragon Tooth Regiment on the two wings entered a distance of a thousand steps, quickly set up their longbows, and the arrows whizzed out. There was a sharp sound in the air, covered by dark clouds, and they plunged into the bandit formation. Falling down howling.

The fear brought by the first wave of arrow rain had not passed, and the second wave of arrow rain arrived again. The instinctive desire to survive easily destroyed the rebels' obedience to orders, and they ran blindly one by one to avoid the flying arrows.

The Dragon Tooth Knights rushed forward in the blink of an eye, and raised their sharp weapons high, exuding a murderous aura.

Hinata Zongxiu let out an uneasy growl from the beast riding under his crotch, and Takikawa Kota frowned, his face extremely serious.

"Boom" with a loud noise.

More than a thousand cavalrymen crashed into the rebel formation, just like a tsunami coming. Wherever the giant beast passed, nothing was left behind except the miserable howl.

The cavalry of the Dragon Tooth Regiment on both wings rained arrows non-stop, causing continuous chaos to the bandit army.

The deterrence brought by more than 2000 cavalry is like the roar of death, and those who block it will be smashed.

Hyuga Sohide was sweating all over his back, and was at a loss.

At this time, there was a huge shout of killing from both the north and south gates, Hinata Zongxiu's expression changed three times in an instant, and when he looked back, the city gate behind him was wide open, and thousands of soldiers poured out of the city gate, or jumped from the city wall Get down and charge towards this side.

"Marshal, the enemy army never went north, we fell for it."

Takigawa Kota shouted anxiously from the side: "Retreat while the defeat is not yet achieved. The subordinates are willing to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters."

Hinata Munehide suddenly woke up, looked at him deeply, nodded and said: "Okay, Takikawa-kun, be careful."

Then the soldiers ordered: "order the entire army to retreat and return along the original route."

After giving the order to retreat, the Amaterasu rebels no longer had the will to fight. Facing the sound of iron hoofs representing death, they were defeated like a mountain and fled towards the south.

…………

Zhengyuan City South Gate.

Chi Chuan personally led his elite troops to attack Muto Kazushi, and thousands of defenders roared out of the city, attacking from both sides.

The bandit troops who stormed for more than three hours had already suffered heavy losses. Most of the soldiers were tired. Now they were rushed by Chi Chuan, who was waiting for work, and immediately collapsed. Although a few bandit soldiers fought hard to the death, they could not stop the trend of defeat.

Kazushi Muto heard loud shouts of killing from the east and west gates, and most of the soldiers began to flee south. Knowing that the situation was over, they stopped making unnecessary resistance and led the troops to surrender.

Tianzhuoji Jiuxin was also blocked at the north gate. There were ambushes all around. The defenders in the city suddenly rushed out. Tianzhuoji Jiuxin was unable to escape in a desperate battle and was chopped into pieces by the Yanhuang Army soldiers who rushed forward.

The Kamakura Zeren at the east gate were rushed into the formation by a Gao Zhan, and beheaded with a knife in his hand. Most of the bandits under his command fell, and the rest joined Hinata Zongxiu and fled southward desperately.

In this battle of Zhengyuan City, more than [-] Amaterasu rebels died in the battle, and more than [-] people surrendered. All the rest fled. After gathering the surrendered troops, Chi Chuan led his troops to stay in Zhengyuan City to guard the prisoners. Fang Shaochuan personally led the Longya Regiment, [-] infantry, and [-] archers to pursue the bandits southward.

…………

Sohide Hinata fled south for a certain distance, and Kota Takigawa finally caught up after desperately fighting, and the losses of this battle were also calculated. When he came out, there were only less than 14 of the [-] troops left, and he urgently needed to be protected by Shun Okayama. , Hinata Zongxiu's heart was broken by the relentless pursuers behind him, and he did not dare to stay for a moment.

The big tent of the Manji Army.

Okayama Junzheng and Okayama Nobuyoshi were discussing in the tent when a personal guard suddenly rushed in with a panicked expression.

Okayama Shun frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

The guard replied with an ugly expression: "Lord City Lord, Hyuga Munehide suffered a disastrous defeat in Zhengyuan City, and now he is coming towards us with his pursuers."

"what?"

Okayama Shun stood up fiercely: "Didn't the Chinese lead their troops to the north? Lord Hyuga has more than [-] soldiers and horses under his command. Even if he can't take Zhengyuan City, how can he be defeated?"

The personal guard replied: "They fell into the tricks of the Yanhuang Tribe. When they attacked the city, they were ambushed from all sides. Amaterasu's army was directly defeated. There were 14 horses, and now there are only more than 2 left."

Okayama Shun's face turned blue, his fists were clenched tightly, both angry and horrified.

The personal guard continued: "Hinata Zongxiu sent people to report that the Huaxia army is chasing his remaining troops. I hope that the Lord can send troops to rescue."

At this time, Okayama Nobuyoshi said: "Brother, Hinata Zongxiu forgot his life when he saw Xiaoli. It is not enough to conspire. Now he only has more than 2 people left, and he is full of mobs. Why don't you take the opportunity to capture and kill him and subdue him?" Amaterasu's defeated army and Amaterasu City are preparing to resist the Huaxia people."

Okayama Shun gave him a surprised look, frowned slightly, considering whether he should follow his brother's suggestion.

…………

On the road from Zhengyuan City to Tianzhao City, there is a rather wide flat land, which is an excellent place for cavalry to fight. The top and bottom of the flat land are narrow and narrow like the head and waist of a gourd. Dangerous.

After careful consideration, Okayama Shun decided to rescue Hyuga Munehide. Hyuga Munehide had rescued him in times of crisis. He was also an ally and could not ignore him both publicly and privately.

The chasing troops were only in the early [-]s. Although there were more than [-] cavalry, Manji City, as the most powerful military force in Japan, also had a lot of cavalry, with more than [-] cavalry. He believed that his side was waiting for work. Can defeat this Chinese army.

On the other side, Fang Shaochuan listened to the report from the sentry cavalry and had discovered the Manji City cavalry. The opponent was preparing for it and probably wanted to fight him to the death on this flat land. Fang Shaochuan couldn't help but sneer secretly. Most of the opponent's cavalry and mounts were ordinary beasts. , and all of our own are monster beasts of level two or above, and the knights are elites selected from a thousand, and the difference cannot be calculated by calculation.

On the vast flat ground, the two armies faced each other.

The warm wind blew the clothes of the soldiers, and the rising sun shone directly to the west, shining directly on the faces of the Japanese soldiers.

Amaterasu's bandits set up two huge infantry phalanxes. Manjicheng cavalry was divided into three teams, lined up in the front, left wing, and right wing, while the central army and rear army consisted of more than [-] fully armed Manjicheng infantry .

As for the Third Army, Fang Shaochuan formed a narrow arc-shaped defense line of [-] infantry from the Second Dragon Division, with swords, shields and heavy weaponry in front, spearmen in the middle, and [-] archers behind the formation. The regiment was positioned behind the archers, ready to attack.

The low-pitched horn sounded suddenly, and the battle was imminent.

The Huaxia army was waiting in formation, and the Amaterasu bandit army started to advance slowly with neat steps. The three cavalry teams in Manji City also moved at the same time. One team followed the two phalanxes of the Amaterasu bandit army, and the other two teams followed The wings spread out.

The horn sounded louder and faster, and the two armies were getting closer and closer. At this moment, the Manji City cavalry in the front suddenly began to accelerate. A torrent of water quickly gathered from the outside to the inside, surpassing the infantry in the blink of an eye, and headed towards the arc ahead. The formation rushed away.

The sword and shield bearers of the Second Dragon Soldier Division were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. They tightened the large shields on their left hands, raised them collectively, and placed them on their shoulders, preparing to resist the cavalry charge.

The archers behind the formation took out their arrows and drew the bowstring to full length. As soon as the school officer gave the order, the sky was filled with arrows.

The Manji City cavalry was marching faster and faster, reaching the extreme speed. The cavalry in the front row suddenly took out their bows and arrows, and the arrows were full of arrows. Their movements were neat and uniform, and their excellent riding skills were undoubtedly displayed.

shhhhh!

A rain of arrows rained down from the sky, heading straight towards the Dragon Soldiers' phalanx. The swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row raised their large shields with a "crack" sound, and the pikemen and archers behind them immediately squatted down.

dong dong dong...

The arrows hit the iron shield, making a crisp sound like pearls falling on a jade plate. Occasionally, they shot through the dense shield wall and hit the soldiers behind, only causing sporadic flesh wounds. The opponent's bows and arrows were not powerful enough to break through the inside. Iron armor inlaid with hexagonal wood.

After the rain of arrows from the cavalry in Manji City, the two thousand archers behind the Dragon Soldier Division immediately stood up.

"Elevation angle is [-] degrees, let it go!" Following the school officer's roar, two thousand feathered arrows pierced the sky, making a whistling sound, and rushed into the oncoming cavalry formation like a deadly ghost.

The wailing of the mounts and the wailing of the soldiers sounded almost at the same time. Under this round of salvo, a large group of cavalry stopped their charge forever.

At this time, Amaterasu's bandit army also began to speed up, and the cavalry of Manji City on both sides roared and moved, like two sharp arrows, piercing directly into the weak flank of Longbing Division.

The Manjicheng cavalry at the forefront bent their bows and set arrows again, and another wave of arrows shot out.

The old trick of the Third Army was repeated, and the sword and shield soldiers minimized the casualties caused by the arrows.Then the two thousand archers fired again, and the arrows were like life-threatening charms, constantly plundering the lives of the enemy cavalry.

At a distance of a thousand steps, after three rounds of arrows, the two armies fired more than ten thousand arrows within a few breaths, and nearly one-fifth of the cavalry in Manji City fell.

With a loud bang, the mount hit the iron shield, making a sky-shattering roar.

Each of the sword and shield bearers in the front row is extremely brave, but they are still unable to resist the charging beasts purely with their bodies. The impact force of these huge beasts in the high-speed charge is still insufficient. , no less than a heavy truck, even the strongest soldiers can barely withstand it. The loud noise in the ears makes people's eardrums sting, and the veins on the left arms of the swordsmen and shields are bulging, and their faces are red. De Honghong, with the help of several comrades behind him, finally succeeded in blocking the impact of the enemy cavalry. However, some soldiers were still knocked to the ground by the beasts and trampled by the horses.

A group of officers of the Second Dragon Army Division kept shouting loudly after the formation, directing the formation and boosting the morale of the whole army.As long as the enemy's first round of impact is blocked, the Manjicheng cavalry who have lost their mobility are fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered.

The sword and shield hand in the front was knocked back tens of meters by the enemy cavalry. I felt the left arm holding the shield was sore and dying, but I still swung the long knife in my hand vigorously, slashing and killing the enemy soldiers who were close at hand. Piercing through the gap, leaving deep blood holes on the enemy's cavalry or mounts, the charging momentum of the enemy's cavalry was slightly reduced. , waving the extremely heavy long-handled weapon in his hand, knocking down and flying the cavalry and riding animals that rushed forward.
