Chapter 2344: The Battle of the Empress
Chapter 2341: The Battle of the Empress
When the news of the victory of Fenghou was returned, Zhou Yu, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Lu Bu and other generals were stunned and had not reacted for a long time. After they reacted, they all took a breath of cold air.
“Hiss…”
After being shocked, Lu Bu said with a puzzled look: "Wang Jian wiped out twice his enemy troops three times, and Wang Jian only had three thousand road exploration vanguards in his hands. How did he do it?"
Zhou Yu didn''t expect that Wang Jian was so fierce that he was already an unexpected surprise to break through the six camps. He even wiped out twice his enemy troops three times?
When did the vanguard army explore the way become so powerful?
After suppressing the shock in his heart, Zhou Yu asked, "To be more detailed, what happened to Wang Jian in Fenghou Kingdom?"
"Oh, that''s right. General Wang Jian broke into six villages in a row and attacked Fenghou Kingdom, and was encircled by Maori Yuanchun.
The Maori family had three armies, each with seven thousand troops. General Wang Jian adopted the strategy of dividing and defeating them one by one, and wiped out all three enemy troops through the third war, and captured the Maori family''s daimyo Mori alive..."
At this point, the sentencing soldiers sent by Wang Jian explained in detail how Wang Jian defeated them one by one.
When he learned that Wang Jian had completely wiped out the left army through the night attack, he immediately ambushed and wiped out the right army, not only Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhang He and other generals, but even Zhou Yu, who was the Grand Commander, was shocked.
Wang Jian’s grasp of the battle situation is so accurate?
"What about the third battle? How did Wang Jian fight?"
Zhou Yu asked quickly, and he was eager to know how Wang Jian did this.
"In the third battle, General Wang Jian did not use any tricks, but chose to fight the 10,000 troops of Maori Motochun with a head-on battle."
Hearing this, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Shun, Yu Jin and other generals all opened their mouths wide. They couldn''t believe that Wang Jian, who had been constantly planning before, would have adopted such a reckless fighting style in this last battle.
Zhou Yu also frowned and asked, "Is this a win?"
“That’s right, although the Japanese army’s strength is more than three times that of our army, our army’s morale is as strong as a rainbow of victories.
Under the command of General Wang Jian, he directly defeated Maori Yuanchun''s troops with three thousand troops head-on, and pursued them for hundreds of miles, until the Guanmen Strait, and then captured Maori Yuanchun alive. ”
The real third battle of Fenghou is naturally much more complicated than what the messenger said.
Although Wang Jian was a head-on battle on the surface, after many big victories, the three thousand road exploration pioneers have developed an invincible momentum.
When facing the Maori army, the Qin army''s confidence soared, and its combat effectiveness increased by 30%, or even more.
Although there were many large soldiers in the Maori family, their fear of the Qin army was further intensified and their morale was even lower than the valley after continuous defeats.
As one goes up and down, let alone an army of ten thousand, even if it is 15,000, Wang Jian is confident that he will defeat the three thousand army head-on.
In addition, Wang Jian was sure that Maori Yuanchun would definitely face the battle.
Less than a month after Maori Motoku became a daimyo, he suffered consecutive defeats, defeating the Maori family in Kyushu, and his prestige had fallen to the bottom.
If Mori Motokura had a 7,000 army but did not dare to fight the 3,000 Qin army head-on, the Maori family would definitely consider changing their name. After all, such a coward would definitely not be able to save the Maori family.
Therefore, based on this psychology, even if Maori Yuanchun didn''t want to fight, he had to fight head-on with Wang Jian for his position as a famous person.
As the leader of the four Maori samurai, Maori Motoku, who is both wise and brave, naturally knew that since Wang Jian dared to use this tactic this time, he must be sure to win.
But Mori Motoharu obviously didn''t think he would lose, after all, he also had his own secret weapon.
Before sending troops to Fei, Zhou Yu led the navy to destroy all ports on the west coast, but before the Battle of Tsuma, the Maori family transferred 3,000 cavalry from Honshu Island.
These three thousand iron cavalry are Maori Motokura''s secret weapon. He wanted to use the cavalry as a killer weapon to deal with Zhou Yu''s main force, but he never reached the point where he could not reach the point of a pathfinder, and even to the point where he had to use this ace.
Maori Motochun''s central army originally had seven thousand troops, and with three thousand cavalry, it just happened to gather 10,000 troops.
After making sufficient preparations, Maori Yuanchun led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to fight, but he was stunned by Wang Jian at the beginning of the decisive battle.
Maori Motokura originally thought that if he wanted to have few soldiers with Wang Jian, he would definitely compete for the advantage little by little, and the fight and formation process would not be missing, so he specially brought many powerful generals such as Maori Wufengxing, the Four Heavenly Kings of Ryuzao Temple, and the Seven Mashis of Nizi.
But what Maori Motochun never expected was that after both sides arrived at the battlefield, Wang Jian personally led a large army to cover up the kill without saying a word.
In this regard, Mori Motoharu naturally would not be polite, and ordered Ryuzoji Takanobu to lead the four kings of Ryuzoji, Nizi Qimashi and other generals, as well as three thousand cavalrymen to fight head-on.
The total number of Qin army was less than 3,000, while the Maori army had three thousand cavalry alone. So Maori Motoku really couldn''t think of any reason to lose, but the subsequent development of the battle situation far exceeded his expectations.
Although the total number of Qin army is less than 3,000, there are more than 600 Dragon Cavalrymen, which are from Hetao Iron Cavalry, and their combat power is much stronger than that of ordinary cavalry, not to mention that the strongest force of the military Yue Yun, Mi Houwang and Xue Dingshan led it.
In comparison, the Japanese cavalry, whether it is war horses, riding skills, harnesses, equipment, or training level, are far inferior to the Dragon Cavalry, and their comprehensive combat power is much worse than that of the Dragon Cavalry.
Therefore, even if the number of Japanese cavalry is five times that of the Dragon Cavalry, even if the command of Ryuzoji Takanobu, one of the three heroes of Kyushu, is still difficult to reverse the decline and is directly crushed by the 600 Dragon Cavalry.
The three thousand Japanese cavalry, facing the charge of the Dragon Cavalry, were as if paper-blocked. Yue Yun and Mi Houwang led the army to kill, and then repeatedly charged, the Japanese soldiers and generals were completely devastated.
There are actually five people in the four heavenly kings of Ryuzai Temple, namely: Nobukashita, Masato Kinoshita, Ken Kento Hiroguchi, Nobukashita, Nobukashita, Nobukio Eriguchi, Nobuo Shintoshi, and Seven Mashimas of Nizi.
Among the five, there were two top-class generals, three top-class generals. After inspiring the combination skills of the "Four Heavenly Kings", they were increased to the level of two gods and three top-class generals.
But such a powerful lineup was defeated by Qin general Mi Houwang alone, and they all died at Mi Houwang''s hands.
The seven Niko Mashi are: Kurosuke Mai, Maguai Guesthouse, Makawado Nosuke Maluo, Maluo Nosuke Matsuka, Matsuka Tonosuke Mashan Shoemon, Magi Hiroemon.
Only one of the seven generals is a top-class general, and the other six are all top-class generals. However, with the increase in combination skills, there is also a divine general-level combat power and the combat power of six top-class generals.
But even so, the Nizi Qimashi was crushed and died one after another at the hands of Yue Yun and Xue Dingshan.
All the four kings of Ryuzao Temple and the seven masjidai were killed in battle, becoming the last straw that overwhelmed the camel of the Japanese army.
With the repeated machining of the Dragon Cavalry, the Japanese cavalry were originally difficult to resist, and now the generals have all died in large numbers. How could the soldiers at the bottom be willing to resist? They turned their horses and chose to run away.
Even Takanobu Ryuzoji, who commanded the 92nd commander, could no longer stop the cavalry from fleeing. He could only restrain the cavalry''s retreat route and try not to attack the infantry formation in the rear as much as possible.
Mori Motokura was just about to rush his army to cover the killing, but he never expected that his three thousand cavalry as a secret weapon would be directly defeated by the six hundred Qin cavalry, and the four kings of Ryuzaoji and the seven masji were all killed in battle.
The only thing that is thankful is that under the constraints of Takanobu Ryuzoji, the cavalry that fled back did not attack the army behind. Seeing that the Qin army''s infantry and cavalry had rushed over, and Maori Motochun was full of infantry soldiers, so it was impossible to retreat, so he could only bite the bullet and go.
Maori Motochun raised a forest of guns at the forefront of the army, hoping to use the gun formation to block the Qin cavalry. After all, the number of cavalry in the Qin army was not large.
Seeing this, Wang Jian decisively ordered Yue Yun to lead the cavalry around the Japanese army, but he personally led the infantry to fight with the Japanese army.
The Qin army had more than 2,000 infantrymen, and they should be at a disadvantage against the 8,000 Japanese infantrymen, but the result was just the opposite. The Qin army did not fall at all.
Just as the two sides were fighting together, Yue Yun''s cavalry came from the flanks again, and under the attack of the infantry and cavalry, they suffered heavy damage to Maori Motokura''s troops in one fell swoop.
Half an hour later, the Japanese army finally couldn''t stand it anymore and was directly defeated by the Qin army and began to flee. Mori Motokura fled to the Guanmen Strait under the protection of Ryuzoji Takanobu and Tomori Go.
Through this battle, Maori Yuanchun understood it. Although he was unwilling to admit it, his command ability and Wang Jian were not at the same level at all. No matter how hard he struggled, it was within the other party''s expectations. Such an opponent was not something he could deal with.
In addition, Mori Motokura''s big defeat in the post-Fungus period has already lost all the Maori family''s assets, and the Maori family can no longer defend the territory of Kyushu.
Although the Maori family still has 20,000 troops in the Maori country, Maori Yuanchun has been defeated and no one can stop Zhou Yu''s 30,000 troops. The Maori Otomo family''s 100,000 coalition forces in the Maori country are probably in danger.
Maori Motoku no longer cared about the 20,000 troops, or even Kyushu. He just wanted to escape back to our state for defense. Kyushu could not defend, and the state could no longer be able to defend.
Maori Tomoru wanted to escape, but Wang Jian obviously would not let him go easily, so he sent all the cavalry to chase Maori Tomoru.
Maori Yuanchun was chased by Xue Dingshan, Yue Yun and other generals, and he was so proud that he had no way to go to the sky and had no way to enter the ground. He chased him from Fenghou Kingdom all the way to Fengqian Kingdom. He finally escaped to the opposite strait, but found that Xue Dingshan had been waiting here for a long time, and was finally knocked unconscious by Xue Dingshan and captured him back alive.
As for Wang Jian, he led Chen Tang, Chen Dao and other generals to follow the Japanese army along the direction of the escape, and eventually killed nine thousand enemies and suffered 700 casualties.
In addition to the casualties of the previous battle, Wang Jian''s three thousand road exploration vanguard army had barely only two thousand people left.
After listening to the message, Gao Shun''s face was full of admiration: "Awesome, it''s really amazing."
If Gao Shun''s camp takes action, he can actually achieve such a record.
But you should know that the camp is the elite camp and the strongest force in the Qin Dynasty. It is natural to achieve such a record.
Wang Jian’s Three Thousand Pathfinder Army was just an ordinary regular army, but it wiped out nearly ten times his opponents. This is even more shocking than the record achieved by the camp.
Zhou Yu nodded in agreement: "Previously, General Wang Jian broke into six camps in a row and killed more than 7,000 Japanese troops. Now he has won more than 23,000 more than 23,000 troops in three battles.
Even if the governor personally commanded it, he would not be like General Wang Jian. ”
Zhou Yu said this from the bottom of his heart. After all, 30,000 against 30,000 troops were sacrificed, but he almost wiped out 30,000 enemy troops and achieved a 1 to 30 victory.
Zhou Yu asked himself that he still couldn''t do such an exaggerated record.
Not only him, even famous generals such as Xue Rengui, Meng Tian, ??and Huo Qubing cannot do this.
In Zhou Yu''s impression, it is probably only his master Bai Qi who is sure to be able to achieve Wang Jian''s level.
As for Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Yue Fei, Han Xin and others, they may be able to do it, or they may not be able to do it.
Zhou Yu didn’t know much about them, so he wouldn’t comment much.
"I heard that General Wang, the son of General Wang, commanded the coalition forces of the Western Regions in the Western Regions, and also repelled Yang Su, a famous general in the Sui Kingdom. He is also an amazing general." Yu Jin said suddenly.
"This is not the end. Wang Li, the son of Wang Ben, and Wang Xuance, the son of Prime Minister Wang Meng, are also new stars in the younger generation of the army." Xu Huang said.
"In this way, except for the prime minister, the Wang family is simply a general." Zhang He said with a look of surprise.
"This is wrong. When Prime Minister Wang Meng was the governor, he led the army many times, and he has never been defeated yet." Xu Huang said.
As soon as this statement came out, Zhang He was even more surprised.
What kind of family is this? How can we cultivate so many generals?
"Unconsciously, the Japanese army in the northeast of Jiuzhou were almost wiped out by General Wang Jian''s vanguard army, and our main forces followed behind to clean the battlefield."
This time, Zhou Yu did not call Wang Jian''s troops the "path exploration vanguard", but directly called it the "pioneer army". After all, Wang Jian''s record is really too fierce, and it is indeed not appropriate to call him the path exploration.
As soon as Zhou Yu said this, the generals couldn''t help but remain silent.
Their tens of thousands of main players with strong combat power have not made any contribution, but they have let the three thousand road exploration pioneers steal the limelight. They will naturally feel unhappy and will feel comparative.
Zhou Yu smiled indifferently when he saw this, "The next marching speed will be accelerated, so that the Japanese people know that General Wang Jian can fight in the Qin Dynasty."
"Okay." The generals shouted in unison.
With Zhou Yu''s order, the main force of the Qin army, 20,000 cavalry, infantry and cavalry, began to accelerate their march and march towards Fenghou Kingdom at full speed.
Since most of the traps on the way have been swept away by Wang Jian, the main force did not encounter any obstacles. It took only three days to catch up with Wang Jian''s troops and successfully met in Fenghou Kingdom.
After the two armies met, Zhou Yu not only praised Wang Jian in public, but also made up for his lost troops, but also added two thousand troops to Wang Jian.
Wang Jian''s brilliant performance this time really stole the limelight from Zhou Yu, the governor, and put a lot of pressure on him.
If Zhou Yu was a commander with a strong desire for control, he would naturally not allow his subordinates to overshadow him, but he is not such a person. The pressure brought by Wang Jian only stimulated his competitive spirit.
In addition, who is Zhou Yu? As the prince of the Qin Dynasty and the only naval commander of the Qin Dynasty, he would not rely on suppressing his subordinates to maintain his authority. How could he control this after it was spread?
Besides, Zhou Yu was the chief general of the four countries'' Japanese coalition forces. Wang Jian won the battle and was also helping him make contributions. Wouldn''t he lose his contribution to suppressing Wang Jian?
After Zhou Yu and Wang Jian merged, 29,000 troops set out from Fenghouguo and built the Houguo from behind.
At this point, the Battle of Zhuhou has officially begun.
