Chapter 123: Three Days and Five Battles

Sugawara Daoma said slowly: "I was ordered to lead the army to block the Tang army, and fight for five days and five days. The first battle was in Kurosaki Bay. I knew the advantages of the Tang army's magic weapon and crossbow, so I dared not let both sides set up a formation and fight head-on. So when some of the soldiers on the other side had just landed, I led the elite cavalry to rush forward!"

Daigo glanced at him and seemed to be curious about how powerful the Tang army's magic weapon crossbows were. In order to avoid being attacked on a large scale by these magic weapon crossbows, Sugawara Daoma actually didn't even dare to rely on the right territories and layers of defense.

Sugawara Domain continued: "I dare not get too close to avoid entering the magic weapon catapult on the Tang army warships. The attack range of magic weapon bed crossbows can only wait for their soldiers to assemble more before fighting. As a result..."

"What's the result?" asked Daigo.

Sugawara Daoma said in pain: "I, a battle formation composed of less than 20,000 infantrymen, have been unable to rush to the front of the formation for several times, and were shot by the powerful bow and crossbow all over the sky, causing heavy casualties."

"You haven't entered the attack range of magic tool trencher, why is it still like this?"

Sugawara Daoma sighed, "No, but in the infantry formation of nearly 20,000 people, countless magic weapons, buzzards, horned crossbows, and arms widened! Often, a crossbow arrow can put cavalry and horses on the ground with one crossbow arrow. Our armor is useless and cannot even stop a crossbow arrow!"

Daigo opened his mouth wide.

He knew very well what kind of disaster it would be if a cavalry was shot by a crossbow and arrow.

Sugawara Mayma wiped her tears and continued: "However, I organized three rushes and fought three times, and finally rushed into the Tang army's infantry formation!"

Daigo closed his eyes and imagined the battle situation at that time.

The first cavalry charge was hit head-on. Teams fell down in front of the game, horses neighed and howled. Many people were nailed to the ground by crossbows and arrows, but in a short period of battle, thousands of cavalry were killed and injured. The army was panicked and forced to retreat.

In the second cavalry charge, the army was mentally prepared and rushed longer, and reached a place that was very close to the Tang army's formation. However, the Tang army's arrow rain kept falling, and the soldiers in front continued to fall. The corpses and horses on the ground seriously hindered the cavalry's running, and finally had to retreat again.

The third battle that day was also the last one. Before that, the cavalry had to clean up the corpses of their comrades on the charge road. The corpses taken away were piled up like mountains, with more than ten thousand pieces of them, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was almost impossible to breathe.

The grief and angry Sugawara Domain rushed forward with his personal guards and made a way forward. The monks worked together to intercept the Rain of Arrows. These backbones of the army used to be used as forces to determine the outcome, but now they were shot countless times without even touching the corner of the Tang army's clothes!

In the end, although the cavalry line was shot to pieces and countless people died on the spot, they finally touched the Tang army formation.

"However, the Tang army formed the formation of the Yanyue Formation. The arc formation minimized the impact of the cavalry, and there were still circles of baggage vehicles on the periphery, so the war horses could not step over!"

Sugawara Do's voice was trembling so hard that he could hardly speak. He took a few breaths before he could continue to say: "I know that this formation is a disaster for the cavalry, but I must lead the cavalry to rush over and prevent the Tang army from landing! This is the only opportunity for me to block the Tang army. If they are allowed to go ashore without too much loss, there will be no possibility of stopping them in the future!"

Speaking of this, Sugawara Maya was crying again, choking so hard that she couldn't speak.

Daigo did not urge him, and looked at the attic that gradually turned into ashes in the fire.

"I led the monks as the vanguard and rushed into the Tang army's infantry formation and fought with their soldiers! The soldiers under my command finally began to kill the enemy. One Tang army soldier after another fell under our swords. We ignored life and death, and did not think about retreating, but rushed forward..."

Sugawara Daoma clenched the sword in his hand, his face twisted into a bun, and his eyes became terrible, "We have killed many Tang soldiers, Your Majesty, do you know that they are your most elite soldiers. They fought to the death and proved that they are all qualified emperor warriors!

"But we were still blocked. Not only that, our subsequent cavalry was also besieged by the great monks of the Tang army, with countless casualties! The most terrifying thing is that during this period, the Tang army sent more than 10,000 cavalry off the ship and surrounded our cavalry from the left and right wings!"

"More than ten thousand elite cavalry? Surrounded?" Daigu said.

Sugawara Daoma smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is right. Our 80,000 to 90,000 cavalry are surrounded by less than 20,000 elite cavalry! It is a elite cavalry composed of Qi training monks. Not only is it extremely brave, even the war horse is not an ordinary war horse, but also has the strength of Qi training monks!

"I hate you! I fell into the trap of the Tang army and fell into their trap. I thought that rushing into the opponent's infantry formation was a victory, but I didn't expect that it was just the beginning of a nightmare! Our front formation was trapped in a quagmire and was strictly restricted by the Tang army's spear formation and crossbow formation, and our middle and back formation was massacred by the Tang army's elite cavalry!

"I have heard Yang Xingmi say before that there was a wise cavalry composed entirely of Qi training monks in the Tang Dynasty. I didn't care at that time, because I didn't see it on the warship, so I thought that such a wise cavalry did not exist - even if it exists, it would not be in this Tang army!

"But I'm wrong, Yang Xingmi's guy is so scheming! He openly let me see all the combat power of the Tang army, such as magic weapons, magic weapons, beds and crossbows, and various powerful weapons in the army, but he just hid this elite cavalry and did not reveal it! I was completely unprepared and took the country's most elite cavalry into the death ground he arranged!

"This Yang Xingmi is definitely not Yi's fellow... When he met me on the warship, he looked arrogant and looked down on me everywhere. I thought he would underestimate the enemy and make mistakes, but I didn't expect that when the two armies were fighting, he was so sinister and vicious! He had a trap for me from the beginning!"

Daigo bowed his head and was silent.

Sugawara Daoma is still too upright and not good at calculating. If it were Fujiwara Tokihira, he might be able to fight with Yang Xing in a secret battle. But the scheming person was already scared by the Tang army and fled with his tribe with his clansmen, and he didn't even have the courage to face the Tang army.

Daigo sighed and looked up at the sky, feeling sad and sarcastic.

One hundred thousand elite cavalry were strangled in Heiqi Bay by 20,000 Tang cavalry and 20,000 infantry. From Yang Xingmi's tactical arrangement, it can be seen that his purpose was not to simply land on the shore, not to simply repel the intercepted enemy, but to - the slaughter army!

What he wanted was to kill all the 100,000 elite cavalry formations!

"How many have you won? Didn't you say how many Tang troops you killed a lot of Tang troops?" Daigo asked. This question has nothing to do with the situation of the battle, but only with dignity.

Sugawara Domain smiled, laughing happily, and even a little proud, as if he had done something extraordinary. He stretched out two fingers and shook them.

"Two, two..." Daigo's lips moved, and he couldn't say the word "Ten".

According to Sugawara Doshima, it is impossible for the Tang army to lose 20,000 people.

Sure enough, I heard Sugawara Domain say: "Two thousand! Two thousand Tang troops!"

Daigo felt that all his blood was rushing towards his forehead. Even now, even though he was already dead, when he heard this number, looking at Sugawara Doshi's proud expression, he wanted to kill the other party!

"One hundred thousand for two thousand, fifty for one!" Daigo bit his cheek, "You actually feel very proud?!"

"That's two thousand Tang troops! It's the Tang army! It's the Tang army with more than a hundred magical instruments and stone catapults, more than 800 magical instruments and bed crossbows, and tens of thousands of magical instruments and powerful bows and crossbows!" Sugahara Doshi emphasized seriously.

He was surprised to Daigo's reaction. Shouldn't he be proud? He got into a trap and faced with a cavalry composed entirely of Qi training monks. Isn't it enough to kill two thousand Tang troops? How many soldiers died on the way to charge, and even the Tang army did not see it!

Tadaohei Fujiwara was the person who knew military affairs the most trained by the Fujiwara family. He used 200,000 naval troops to fight the Tang army. What was the result? Not only did the other party lose three or four thousand people?

Daigo was so angry that he was furious that he stood up and roared wild beasts at Sugawara Domain: "Aren't my people human? Are the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty all immortal soldiers? Fifty people replaced one, why?! Is there any more outrageous war in this world than this?! You actually think that your achievements are outstanding, I, I, I..."

He "I" for a long time, but there was no further information. At this point, should he still hold Sugawara Dora really guilty and behead him?

Unexpectedly, Sugawara Daoma was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at Daigo and said word by word: "Of course there are more outrageous wars than this. After the first day, three wars, in the next two days, I fought with the Tang army. Relying on the strong city and the mountains and rivers and territories, I arranged defenses, and the Tang army attacked head-on.

"The situation of the two battles is not much different. The soldiers of the Tang army did not rashly take over the city, but just set up magic weapons and magic weapons crossbows, and violently poured out spirit stone fireballs and crossbow arrows at the city gate.

"Daming Pass held on for four hours, and the city wall was collapsed by the Tang army. The guards were killed and injured countless soldiers. Then the Tang army blasted open the city gate and rushed in directly. At that time, the soldiers in Guanzhong were only concerned about escaping and trampling on each other. In the end, only thousands of soldiers in the 80,000 guards escaped, and the casualties of the Tang army soldiers were at most hundreds, which was not worth mentioning."

"The same is true for Linjiang City. The difference is that it only lasted for three hours.

"The Tang army relied on magical weapons to break the city from a long distance and seriously injured our army. Our crossbow range was far less than that of them, so we could only be beaten passively. Later, when we saw us retreating from the city wall, they actually moved the catapult and the crossbow forward, and used spirit stone fireballs and rain of arrows to cover the inside of the city!

"I organized soldiers out of the city to take the initiative to rush forward, but the result was that the battle situation in Heizaki Bay was repeated. In Heizaki Bay, the Tang army's magic weapon catapult and crossbow were still on the ship. When they arrived in Linjiang City, they were all deployed in front of them!

"Later, whenever we saw our city gate open, they would gather strong bows and crossbows to shoot the city gate. Before our soldiers could break out of the city, they died in the city gate cave..."

"After the war, the Tang army soldiers were dispatched to reap military merits and clean up the battlefield! Nearly 70,000 soldiers in Linjiang City surrendered one after another after the Tang army entered the city. As a result, the Tang army did not accept surrender, and the tragedy of the army massacre was staged again! This time, the Tang army suffered even less losses..."

Speaking of this, Sugawara Domain finally couldn't continue to say it. He lowered his head and covered his eyes with his face sobbing.

He doesn't need to continue talking.

How could Daigo not know about the situation behind it? The news that the Fujiwara family suddenly left Heian Kyo was learned by the generals of the army, and soon spread widely. The generals no longer had the fighting spirit and all abandoned the city and fled.

The Tang army now doesn't even need to bomb the city. As long as it appears in front of the city, the defenders without generals will collapse. The Tang army only needs to accept the city.

Invincible is not enough to describe the current strong and smooth attack of the Tang army.

Daigo looked at Sugawara Domain, who was sobbing, and was speechless for a long time.

The pain in Sugawara Daoshi's heart is really not worthy of being told by outsiders. The first battle was a 100,000 people for the Tang army to exchange for 2,000 people. Although it was a great shame in the history of the war, compared with the subsequent battles, it was the highlight of this war.

Such a shameful highlight.

As the chief war minister, Sugawara Mayma's "pride" previously revealed is just an alternative catharsis that is extremely sad.
