Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 532 Breaking the Thief
Inugami Odenhao was on the Goya boat, and with his condescending advantage, he could clearly see everything on the shore.
The Tang army had no more than a thousand men, and among the more than a thousand men there were no more than 400 cavalry.
But the momentum of just over a thousand people rushing forward seemed to be able to destroy Mount Fugaku.
Inugami Tamashii lingered in the prosperity of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, intoxicated by the prestige of those soldiers who could hold the chiefs and offer prisoners, and by the pride of the slaves who did not dare to be angry.
But at this moment, seeing these more than a thousand red-clad Tang troops burning like Buddhist karma towards the birds, the momentum of a prairie fire made Inugami Odasho tremble, and he understood from the bottom of his heart why he wanted to become a Tang citizen and regard Chang'an as his hometown.
Some grudges in my heart seemed to have been chopped off with a knife, disappearing and never to be seen again.
In a hurry, Inugami Odahao didn't even have time to ask to get off the boat. He simply turned over and jumped out of the boat, which surprised Liu Rengui who was watching Li Shiji leave on the shore.
After sending someone to pick up the Japanese envoy, they heard the man shouting from a distance:
"General Liu, although I presented a map of flying birds to the Duke of our country, the map is not accurate after all."
"My lord, please lead the way for the Duke! I know the noble Suwa family! I am willing to make meritorious service!"
A dog has a shovel but no horse. Naturally, Li Shi𪟝 couldn't hear these heartfelt words.
While on the ship, he had already studied the bird based on the pictures and soldiers provided by the Japanese.
Perhaps because it is located deep inside the island and has many geographical advantages, and the flat terrain of the island is extremely precious, there are no troublesome things such as city walls and forts here.
The king of Japan and the nobles of each family lived according to the land they occupied, and the refugees and slaves lived around the nobles. In the end, these settlements surrounded by the noble names and surnames together constituted the entire Asuka.
The continuous flat fields also provided the greatest convenience for the Tang army scouts to ride their horses.
No special instructions were needed. The captain among the scouts had already led his Qingqi to search in the direction agreed upon in advance.
Li Shi𪟝, on the other hand, slowly drove his war horses to join the formation, marching towards the south of the flying bird in a leisurely manner.
According to the information provided by the Japanese envoys, the Suga clan is now highly respected here. The land south of Asuka is the most fertile and flat, and is irrigated by two rivers. It is extremely fertile, and both are the private fields of the Suga clan.
He saw living creatures that could hardly be called "human" in the Tang Dynasty. They were hung with something that looked like leaves or tied hay, as if to keep out the cold.
They are unkempt and short in stature. They all use simple wood chips or hands. In this December, they are still trying their best to dig the soil in the fields, as if they want to find some food.
Seeing the Tang army rolling over, they just stopped what they were doing, looked up blankly one by one, and stared at the advancing Tang army without saying a word.
Occasionally, there would be some Japanese who were different from these slaves on the way. When they saw the Tang army, they would stop them in front of them, shouting something bad, or they would flee without saying a word.
Anyone who blocked the road was shot and killed. Li Shi𪟝, who escaped, ignored him and just gave another order:
"Slow down."
Riding on a tall horse, Li Shi took out his thousand-step mirror from his chest and looked into the distance to see more clearly.
He watched as the Japanese who looked like slaves fled into a magnificent villa in the distance. Then the villa began to boil with people running in and out, all pointing in his direction.
Continuing to move forward, the scouts who had previously scattered like swallows in the forest returned to the team one after another like tired birds returning to their nests, and also completed the rudimentary map in Li Shi's hand more and more completely.
When the last group of scouts returned, the private soldiers gathered by the Soga clan could be said to be right in front of them.
At this time, Li Shi felt that the Japanese envoy had not exaggerated. After all, more than ten thousand people had gathered in front of him. According to the scout's report, there were at least three such giant villages behind him.
Even though they were not as tall as Tang Jun, their weapons were not as good as Tang Jun's, and they had no armor, the gathering of more than 10,000 people was boundless, making the Japanese who were among them more confident than ever before.
A person who seemed to be the leader rode a pony out of the queue. Although the pony was obviously short, his jabbering words conveyed a sense of arrogance.
Li Shihuang couldn't understand, but he could clearly see that the people behind the Japanese general began to cheer one after another like an angry wave, which actually gave him a vague feeling of horror.
But the Tang army did not accept this trick at all. As veterans who had experienced the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and many soldiers had the experience of fighting for their lives against the Turks who attacked Dingxiang at night, so all of their faces were filled with traces of anger. A look of undisguised contempt.
Fortunately, they finally waited for their general's order.
"Noisy!" Li Shi's expression was as cold as ice. The difference in language and the other party's attitude of not knowing whether to live or die made him completely lose interest in verbal communication with the other party, leaving only an unknown fire in his heart.
The war horse stopped, and Li Shiji raised the long spear in his hand and pressed it down with his front finger, sending a signal to attack.
However, a team of more than a thousand people did not need orders from the generals. The athletes of the Tang army took advantage of the situation and followed the method they were most familiar with, using crossbows to inform the other side that the war had begun.
More than 600 infantrymen raised their crossbows in three rows, with the front end slightly raised, and fired their weapons against the endless crowd on the opposite side.
No one on the battlefield is interested in seeing whether their crossbow arrows have achieved merit. After the first column of military crossbows fired, they squatted down and re-cocked them, so that the crossbowmen behind them could continue to spray crossbow arrows. Then they squatted down and re-cocked the crossbows so that the third column could take action. , and so on.
The crossbow arrows fired by more than 600 people immediately knocked down a small piece of the Japanese army, but this was almost invisible to the team of more than 10,000 people. The Japanese generals at the front had already retreated when they saw that the situation was not good, and they also hid in the formation and urged He gave the order, but it was not until the Tang army in the first row had loaded their crossbows for the fourth time that they saw the Japanese on the opposite side rushing over, pushing and shoving, and they were still shouting unknown words at the top of their lungs.
But these were completely useless to the Tang army. Even though the Japanese were only more than a hundred steps away from the first column, they still cocked their crossbows, held their crossbows, stood up, and fired in an orderly manner.
It wasn't until the Japanese were approaching forty steps that the first column of officers, who had been observing the battlefield coldly, shouted a short order:
"Abandon the crossbow!"
"Abandon the crossbow!"
This order was passed down from person to person by the soldiers, and for a moment it tore the minds of the Japanese at the front, causing their steps to stagnate for a short time.
The horse-riding Japanese general who "stands out from the crowd" at the rear could clearly see that the precious tools that had been ruthlessly harvesting his private slaves were ruthlessly thrown at his feet by these people. This immediately made him feel extremely distressed, and he could not care less about directly fighting on the battlefield at this time. Shouted in Japanese:
"Pick that divine object back and don't crush it!"
People who grew up here have no concept of war. Haonu immediately passed on this order with a curse, which resulted in greater chaos in the front.
But the Tang army didn't care about this, and abandoning the crossbow could only be regarded as half an order. In fact, after abandoning the crossbow, all the Tang soldiers reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife that had been inserted in front of them before the battle.
It was only then that the second half of the military order came through Pao Ze:
"Horizontal knife!"
"Horizontal knife!"
The horizontal sword came out of its sheath, and six hundred snowflakes bloomed on the land of Feiniao Mansion, like a white bird fluttering its wings and flying, and like white snow rising from the ground and blooming with brilliance.
The bright sword light lit up in the red Tang Dynasty uniform army formation, and for a moment there was an enchanting and life-threatening beauty.
The Japanese general in the distance was stunned. He never thought that the sharp blade could cut through the muscles and bones so smoothly. Almost instinctively, he continued to shout in Japanese:
"Bring me a knife and offer it!"
But what he didn't notice at all was that the morale of the Japanese soldiers at the forefront, who were pointed at by these sharp swords, had collapsed.
The gap in weapons, the difference in armor, the height disadvantage, and the playful orders made the Japanese army who fought with the Tang army have no choice but to use their own bodies to meet the sharp blade of this unknown enemy. Fortunately, they were not killed for a while. He could still take two steps forward, and before falling down, he used the sharpened wooden stick in his hand to stab Tang Jun vigorously, and then spent the last moment of his life watching the wooden stick being shattered by the armor.
The one in front wants to go back, and the one behind wants to push forward.
Those who are scared look back hastily, while those who are greedy for profit strive to move forward.
The waves rolled back and the rear hit each other, but this could not stop the Tang army, who was dancing like a forest of swords, from advancing like a wall.
The sound of the iron horse's paws on the ground is a bit dull. Occasionally, when they step on a stone, they will make a pleasant chirping sound.
There was no need to arrange any tactics in detail. Seeing the infantry of both sides strangled together, Li Shi also followed his instinct and gently pinched the horse's belly and began to destroy the cavalry.
Compared with the usual battles, the long pole had to be pushed down a little further at this time, which Li Shi was not used to. The galloping speed of the war horse also gave him no time to adjust to this discomfort.
In Li Shi's eyes, the enemy's forward troops were retreating, and the rear line was riddled with holes. He didn't even need to pick specifically, and the cavalry ran straight into one of the weak spots in the enemy's rear.
With just one charge, the Japanese rear army was in a state of disintegration and retreat.
After all, to them, not to mention cavalry, even the concept of horses is very unfamiliar.
There are no horses in Japan, so Baiji helps them.
Decades ago, after the Soga clan established an alliance with the Baekje Kingdom, they introduced dozens of ponies from Baekje at various costs. These never-before-seen mounts quickly became a symbol of the Soga clan's self-proclaimed noble surname.
But now, the tall horses driven by these strange enemies have shattered the knowledge that the Japanese had previously established.
If those who ride horses are respected, then aren’t these gods and men more valuable than others?
Especially after witnessing the giant horses ridden by these god leaders standing up and trampling the noble Soga to death with their front feet, the morale of the Japanese army fell to the bottom.
However, after their morale completely collapsed, these people did not run away. Instead, they knelt down on the spot and exposed their necks, saying nothing and looking like they were waiting to be killed.
This gesture soon spread to the entire audience, causing the cavalry and infantry who had just gained some strength to look at each other.
Li Shi𪟝 only felt that the unknown fire in his heart was getting stronger. He let out a loud sigh, and Li Shi𪟝 turned around and ordered:
"Get out of a group and go back to find that dog or that Japanese monk."
The soldier received the order, turned his horse's head and led his men to the direction of the shore and galloped back.
Li Shi𪟝, who had not yet dismounted, urged even more urgently:
"This is one, there are three more bandits to the south, clean up the weapons and move on!"
The crossbows that had been discarded before were all recycled, and the undrawn scabbards on the ground were put back into the Hengdao and taken away. Then the Tang army didn't even look at the enemies waiting to be killed, chatting and laughing with each other, and started heading south again.
The group of cavalry running towards the shore saw from a distance that two giant ships had left the shore and were temporarily parked in the middle of the inland sea, looking like they were trying to intimidate the surroundings.
Fortunately, the Japanese envoy the general was looking for was also on the shore, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Faced with the recruitment of the Tang army, Inugami Oda Shoe showed no reluctance at all, and almost climbed onto the horse happily.
Li Shi's pro-army troops didn't waste any time and returned along the way they came.
Under the deliberate inquiring of Inugami Odasui, the record of the Tang army just now was also told by several knights.
There were no surprises, Inugami even had a sense of taking it for granted:
"The great soldiers of the above country are all brave enough to take the lead in the three armies."
These words were very helpful to several knights.
Then a young knight expressed his worries:
"Commander, I'll wait for you to go and come back. The general won't wait for me, right?"
The corps commander immediately reprimanded:
"How can you say that when the battlefield comes to life in just a moment?"
"Commander Wu, don't be ridiculous. You only need to bend down to pick up the winning chance on this battlefield."
These remarks attracted several other knights to loudly agree:
"Yes, I have never fought such an easy battle."
"I'm too embarrassed to go back and praise you."
In the end, the Wu Commander said perfunctorily: "The Japanese envoy is here, don't say these things in front of others."
Unexpectedly, Inugami Odasa disapproved:
"General, if you kill them at the first glance, you will gain the favor of your superior country, and those Japanese will all be meritorious people."
The captain raised his eyebrows and felt speechless, but the war horse moved more urgently.
The group of people headed south and saw huge villas being broken open one after another, as well as groups of private soldiers of powerful slaves kneeling on the ground.
It wasn't until he chased the third one that he saw Li Shi𪟝 who was supervising the cleaning of the battlefield.
Inugami Odasui was jolted all the way and was waiting for some time to think about some sincere and beautiful words to say to the Duke of Lai. However, before he could catch his breath, he heard that the Duke had assigned him an errand:
"The scenery here is quite good, but it's tiring to fight thieves. I don't want to move to another place."
"Go yourself, or ask the envoy to send someone to tell the Japanese king that my father-in-law is suing the thieves. Please wait here for him to come and thank you."
Li Shi𪟝's words of shouting and shouting at the leader of a country were quite natural, and Inugami Oda Sho also felt that it was natural:
"The prince's body is rich in gold, so it is appropriate to stay here to nourish his body and calm his mind."
"The King of Japan has always understood the general situation. If he knows that Suga's private soldiers have been eliminated, he will be overjoyed."
After giving the instructions, Li Shihuang put his hands behind his hands and looked at the scenery he had never seen before, looking at it with interest.
This time, the south side of Feiniao Mansion was swept. Naturally, the Suga clan was not completely eliminated, but Li Shi did not care too much.
After all, Liu Rengui made it clear that the goal of this trip was to get rid of the Japanese influence on the Korean Peninsula and completely lock it on the Japanese island so that the imperial court could manage Liaodong.
Helping the Japanese king remove obstacles to his power was never part of their plan.
"Oh, by the way, remember to tell the Japanese king that this time we fought bloody battles to get rid of the thieves, and they suffered a lot of injuries."
The implication was very clear. Inugami Odasa also turned a blind eye to the Tang Jun who was chatting and laughing loudly next to him and boasting that he was unharmed. He bowed and said:
"That's how it should be."
