My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 510 White Horse Racing
The reason why Iito Homasa was allowed to stay and set up an ambush was because he was not only a veteran of the army, but also the first commander-in-chief of the Red Army in his previous life. Such a veteran on the battlefield naturally chose the perfect location to set up an ambush.

Not long after Takeda Shingen led the main force to retreat, he sent envoys to lurk on various roads when they came to monitor the Xia Kingdom soldiers and horses who might pursue them from these roads. After all, there were only two thousand people and it was impossible to take care of the pursuers on all paths. .

At this time, the 2,100-strong Red Army chose a place where it was easier to set up an ambush.

Before setting up an ambush, he had already driven away the people in the nearby Japanese villages. Those who did not want to leave would directly have his soldiers kill them all to avoid leaking the news.

In the quiet mountains and forests, there are faint sounds of birdsong coming from the distance.

"Lord Fanfu Huchang, the signal has been revealed, and a Xia army is coming towards us." In the shadows, the deputy general came from the edge of the forest, handed over to Fanfu Huchang who was sitting on the big blue stone, and reported: "Sir General, please Show me!"

"Prepare an ambush!" Iitotomi Homasa drank the wine in one gulp, threw the glass to the ground, grabbed the spear stuck on the ground, and stood up with a bang.

The deputy general nodded, turned around, started running in the forest, and gestured to his subordinates lurking around him.

One after another, the figures almost held their breath, and for a while, all the sounds of the figures hiding in the woods, shrubs, and hillsides disappeared.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and even the insects in the grass seemed to feel the chill and became dead silent.

Then, there was a swish sound, the bows and arrows were put away, and the horses started running on the road, allowing the red soldiers who rushed down and jumped down the hillside to pounce.

I really want to see the Xia generals looking horrified!
Thinking of such a scene, the corner of Iito Homasa's mouth curled up into a sinister smile. He raised the iron spear and issued the last command.

A hundred elite archers released their thumbs from the strings, and the arrows rushed out of the woods. The surrounding red soldiers, wearing red armor and holding tachi, rushed out.

The moment a series of doubts arose, the Xia general riding a white horse below suddenly thrust his spear into the ground, took out a bow with his backhand, fastened an arrow, and flew towards him.

Zhao Yun didn't even look at the fallen body. He raised his left hand, stretched out his fingers, and imitated the provocative action Su Chen had done before, and raised his fingers at the Japanese general opposite.

"Why is this Xia general not afraid of an ambush?"

The faint sound of horse hooves penetrated through the sky and gradually became clear and audible. Ifu Huchang lay down in the grass and looked at the sky.

Zhao Yun ignored the Japanese soldiers around him, and stood there one man and one horse. A nearby Chibei sergeant rushed over with a tachi behind him. The silver spear danced like a snake and stabbed it quickly, picking and pulling. , blood lines crisscrossed and flew into the air.

Iito Huchang jumped out of the woods with an iron spear in his hands, ran on the ground with both feet, waved the spear head, and shouted in Japanese: "Kill!"

However, the next scene almost stopped Iito Homasa, who was leading his army down the hillside. The scene of panic that the Xia cavalry originally imagined did not appear.

Iito Huchang was a man of few words, but he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment. He stared closely at the Xia cavalry below who was gradually coming towards them, suddenly raised his hand to stop the restless lieutenant, and lowered his voice and warned: "Wait until they are halfway through! "

Iito Homasa jumped up on a rock and rushed towards the nearest cavalryman. The next second, a war horse rushed from the side. Before he could react, he was severely knocked out and fell back to the hillside.

He used to be a general who led troops, and he ambushed the enemy not once or twice, but this was the first time he had encountered this.

Iito Huchang rolled around on the ground, stood up with an iron spear, and touched his body in a daze. He didn't understand at all how he was knocked away by the opponent just now.

"coming!"

"Can you beat me? Lord Iito Homasa." The deputy general clenched the sword in his hand and asked the unblinking general beside him.

This action was obviously provocative, and Iito Huchang couldn't tell it. He also made the same provocative action towards the general of Xia State opposite him. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of saliva at him , on the hooves of the war horse.

One hundred elite archers were among them, quietly holding their arrows and pointing them at the advancing cavalry below.

Fanfu Huchang licked his lips and tightened his grip on the iron spear. The ambush troops were always caught off guard. Once the enemy was in a hurry, defeat was not far away.

"kill--"

Two thousand white horse soldiers lined up in a row, bows drawn neatly, and they fired at the red soldiers who were rushing down. The Japanese soldiers who were about to rush to the last section of the hillside suddenly fell on their backs.

Under the gentle hillside is a rugged and sunken dirt road. It can be seen that many people have walked here before, but now only the panicked footprints left by the Japanese soldiers after they withdrew.

Under the cloudy sky, the cavalry lined up in a long dragon and rushed forward, holding high the "Zhao" flag, hunting and flying.

One hundred feather arrows are not densely packed. In front of two thousand cavalry, not to mention there is an obstruction in the middle, the effect of shooting is not obvious.

At this moment, some of the arrows shot fell on the ground, some hit the running horses or people's arms, and some cavalrymen leaned on their horses to dodge the arrows.

Two thousand red troops surged across the hillside, rushing towards the cavalry galloping below.

He sprayed away a bug crawling on his lips, and looked through the gaps in the bushes to the end of the road below.

"As long as you are not afraid of death, you can fight!"

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the silhouettes of cavalry passed by his overlooking view. When it was almost done, he stood up slowly and said in a low voice: "Get ready!"

At the same time as the deputy general made the gesture, figures behind him drew their swords and stood up, moving their steps and began to move forward.

next moment.

On the road, Baima Yicong ran across the wilderness, keeping a distance from the Japanese Red Army, and started shooting on horseback.

"So calm?"

In the mountains and forests, figures were crouching or crouching. After hearing Iitomi Homasa's order, they all held their breath nervously and tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands.

Staring at the Xia cavalry marching at full strength below.

He rushed to the front and had no way to avoid it, so he had to squat on the ground. The arrow almost grazed his hair and flew past, directly penetrating a Red Army soldier who was still running behind him, and then shot the second soldier behind him. The arrows stopped after everyone was shot to death.

Hearing a low cry from over there, a figure with a white horse and a silver spear stopped his horse, looking at the Japanese soldiers rushing down, and the leader, Iito Huchang, slowly raised the silver spear in his hand.

Iito Huchang looked at the Xia Kingdom cavalry lined up on the road below, and he was completely confused. How could it be different from the originally imagined picture.

The cavalrymen running on one side gathered their horses, turned around, and faced the hillside. They looked at the Japanese soldiers with calm faces, and some even had sneers on their faces.

"The Xia Kingdom's cavalry is an elite force. Finally, we are waiting for a big guy!"

Over there, Zhao Yun immediately raised his gun, his eyes cold, not at all as dull as when he fought against the island before.

Hakuba looked down and let out a sharp breath.

On horseback, the faint expression on Zhao Yun's face gradually turned into a scowl.

The heel slammed into the horse's belly, and the white horse seemed to be as angry as its owner. It roared loudly, raised its hooves, and rushed towards the hillside.

Several Red Army soldiers who stopped him formed a formation, trying to stop the current Xia Kingdom general using the formation they had practiced in the past, coupled with their slender swords.

The moment they came up to them, what they responded to was a flurry of stabbing shadows hitting them in an instant. The next second, Zhao Yun jumped across them on a white horse, landed on the hillside with his hooves, and started running wildly. .

The five red soldiers stood on the same spot, their armor cracked, revealing blood holes and bleeding.

On the hillside, Iito Homasa pulled out the tachi from his waist, and jumped up with a roar of "Ah!" despite his not-so-tall body. Secret Technique: Jiashan Tiger!
He turned around in mid-air and swung the blade fiercely without hesitation. At this moment, under the sky, a scene of a tiger descending from the mountain appeared behind his figure.

The swinging blade instantly stirred up strong winds and a tiger roar in the air.

The bright silver gun of Gentian flew towards him and collided with the swinging blade, causing a 'dang' sound.

Zhao Yun galloped on his horse, spread his cloak, and drew his sword with his left hand. The moment the horse passed by the opponent's figure leaping in the air, a white energy filled his body. He turned around on the horse and slashed out with his sword.

Secret Technique: Block the River to Seize Adou!

An arm covered in red armor soared into the sky, dragging blood. On the back of the passing war horses, Zhao Yun turned his back to the Japanese general who landed on the ground. He shook off the blood beads on the blade of his sword and sheathed the sword with a swish.

Zhao Yun held the gentian gun in his other hand, turned his face slightly, glanced at Fanfu Huchang who was missing an arm on the ground, and slowly turned his horse's head to urge the horse over.

On weekdays, he is gentle and courteous, but when he is on the battlefield, his fierceness and ferocity as a general are fully displayed. What's more, the Japanese general uses his name to flaunt himself, which is a living insult to him.

A dozen Chibei soldiers rushed over, but before they could get close, they were stabbed to the ground by his several shots.

"Japanese pirates!"

Zhao Yun urged his white horse to step on a corpse, his eyes fixed on Fanfu Huchang who was holding his broken arm on the ground. The gun head hanging on one side was slowly dripping with blood.

"Come on!" Iito Homasa touched the lost tachi, struggled to get up, and screamed at the people and horses on the opposite side. However, at this moment, not many people in the surrounding Red Army responded.

All around, on the roads and in the fields, there were white horse followers running in small groups. The horses were surging, and the cavalry on horseback led the pursuing Japanese soldiers like dogs, and kept firing arrows on their horses to shoot them one by one. kill.

It is the tactics commonly used by Baima Yicong, which come from the Baima Yicong in the late Han Dynasty. However, it is not just the cavalry that can fight against Xianbei and Huns.

Among them were Zhao Yun's experiences in the second half of his life, which he taught to these soldiers. With the same strength, Bai Mayi continued to shoot at random, alternately dividing the Japanese soldiers who were pulled into the open area, and constantly used arrows to kill them. Shooting down one after another, after the number was almost reduced, the roaming cavalry group gradually gathered from the squad into a charging array amidst the sound of the horn.

This is truly the most efficient way to kill.

The moment the charge horn sounded, as an elite red army, even though the weapons were better than ordinary Ashikaga and everyone wore wooden armor, they were still soldiers who had never experienced a real battlefield.

There is an insurmountable gap with Hakuba Yicong, who has gone through many wars.

After seeing the Xia cavalry gathering to charge, the Chibei soldiers here were still scattered in the field to meet them.

In an instant, he was engulfed by the spreading cavalry.

In a general cavalry charge, those at the front are the most powerful cavalry in the army. They have killed many enemies, at least by double digits.

Boom boom!

The cavalry charging at high speed used their spears to directly drive away the Chibei soldiers who wanted to cut off the horse's legs. More cavalry from behind penetrated directly into the Chibei soldiers on the field.

The sword broke, and the spear stabbed each body with the speed of a war horse. Blood splashed into the air, and human limbs were lifted up into the air.

Iito Huchang looked at this scene, forgetting the pain, and opened his mouth silently.

"Red Army..."

Zhao Yun also looked at the killings in the wilderness over there, with anger still in his eyes. The bright silver gentian gun in his hand flicked against the sky, and stabbed Iifu Huchang in the chest, and then pulled it out!
Pick the opponent's body on the head of the gun with one hand and hold it in the air.

……

Large areas of corpses fell down, and no one paid attention to the figures who dropped their weapons and begged for surrender. These battle-hardened cavalry directly charged back and forth on horseback.

From a distance, the Takeda military envoy who was observing the battlefield looked at this scene and was so frightened that what was clearly an ambush turned into an encounter.

And this was the first time I saw with my own eyes how crazy the Xia army was.

The spirit that Mr. Takeda boasted about in the past is as ridiculous as a child playing house when compared with them now.

At this time, a cavalryman saw him. The envoy was frightened, turned around, climbed on his horse and ran away.

Not long after, the sound of a large number of horse hooves was chasing behind him. He looked back from time to time and saw a group of cavalry behind him, undulating like a wave.

The envoy was so frightened that he cried out while holding the horse's neck on his horse's back.

While crying, he shot loud arrows and tried to call his companions to come to the rescue. However, the envoys who arrived saw the Xia cavalry running from a distance. They came over to take a look one by one, then turned and ran away.

Just when the news that Xia Guo's cavalry was chasing was conveyed to Takeda Shingen's army who was retreating, on the other side, the soldiers and horses of the three armies had already set up camp on the plain near the sea of ​​Yun Guo Island.

"Zhao Yun has lost contact with his troops and has sent people to check the path they passed. Marquis Wen is still in contact, but it is confirmed from Zhang Liao that the wolf cavalry led by Marquis Wen is not far away from him, and may be in a certain place. In the mountains.”

Jia Xu sorted out the information and told Su Chen, then summarized the information and handed it to Wu Zixun.

After taking it, the latter exited the imperial tent.

"Will Takeda's army set up an ambush in the middle to ambush Zhao Yun and Lu Bu's troops?"

Su Chen stood up from behind the long desk, walked to the map, and looked at the two routes marked on it for Takeda Shingen's main force to retreat.

After all, the terrain was unfamiliar, and if they were ambushed midway, the loss of horses would be minor, and all the fine cavalry they had managed to raise would be in vain.

Jia Xu glanced at the emperor, who looked attentive. He pursed his lips and muttered in his heart: "It's not like you used the provoking method to arouse the anger between the two of them." '

Of course, it was impossible for him to say it directly, but he still said a warm-up.

"Based on General Zhao's temperament, the Japanese pirates would probably be too close to defeating him if they tried to ambush him. As for Marquis Wen, haha... I can't say that the Japanese pirates' ambush will directly cripple him."

Just as he was talking, Wu Zixun, who came out of the imperial tent over there, sent this information to a nearby tent and handed it over to the documents inside for copying and filing.

After coming out, he went to the back again. The patrolling soldiers had just passed by and there was no one around. Wu Zixun then untied his belt, took off his trousers under his robe, and happily let out the urine that had been held all the way.

Rustling~~Rustling~~
The grass that was being watered by the burnt yellow water column suddenly moved. Wu Zixun vaguely saw the cold light. He rubbed his eyes, hurriedly put on his trousers and stepped back. The moment a figure jumped out, grabbed his clothes and pushed him to the ground——

The man was covered in grass and leaves, with only a pair of eyes exposed, but at the moment his head and body were filled with a foul stench.

"save--"

Before he could say the next words, the man twisted his hand and pinched Wu Zixun's neck hard with his fingertips. His neck suddenly tilted and he lost his voice.

The man looked around, dragged the fainting Xia man, and rushed to another tuft of grass nearby.

This person is none other than Sarutobi Sasuke, who was sent here by Takeda Shingen!
