Chapter 100: The Power of Daming Iron Cavalry
Chapter 100 The power of the Ming Iron Cavalry
Hosokawa Katsumoto quickly confirmed something, that is, to have a say in the Ming Dynasty, one must reveal one's own strength today.
This battle must be won, and it is a big victory.
The best victory to destroy.
This can prove that Japan's power has the right to speak in front of the Ming Dynasty.
Hosokawa Katsumoto observed the battle situation carefully and immediately made a decision.
He decided to surround two sides, and you beat you.
The Ming army cut into the Western Army and seemed to be heading straight for the Hosokawa Katsumoto's main formation, but they also exposed their biggest shortcoming, that is, they were not enough manpower.
The Ming army has maintained its current front and has put its strength to its limit.
Hosokawa Katsumoto wanted to open a new front and attack the Ming army's camp from both sides, thus forcing the Ming army to retreat. If the Ming army did not retreat, it would surround the Ming army above Sekihara, which would trap the Ming army to death.
Only such victory can shock the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming army was annihilated 30,000 people at one time. If it could be done, it would indeed make the Ming Dynasty angry. Hosokawa Katsumoto's idea was not wrong.
But he overestimated himself and his generals.
After Hosokawa Katsumoto ordered, the Western Army began to adjust. Some troops wanted to make way, some troops wanted to advance, and some troops wanted to retreat.
After all, Guanyuan is not too big. He mobilized more than 100,000 troops and intensive actions, without order, would be impossible to imagine.
It’s just that military command requires experience.
When Katsumoto Hosokawa moved like this, Yang Zhen could see the problem at a glance.
Without saying a word, he came to Wang Ying and said, "Please go out to fight at the last general."
Wang Ying said: "Wait."
Wang Ying was a little uncertain when facing Katsumoto Hosokawa's offensive. He could see clearly that what he thought about at this moment was whether he would stop when he was good, and if he retreated now, the Western Army suffered a lot of casualties today and decided not to attack, so he would stay until tomorrow to fight again.
With today's victory, it is enough to stabilize the hearts of the Eastern Army.
You can increase your troops in sequence and confront the Western Army here.
"General, the Western Army has already had a flaw." Yang Zhen turned over and dismounted, and used his sword to draw a form of battle between the two armies on the ground. Then he drew a sword and drew an arc, entering the main formation of Hosokawa Katsumoto.
When Wang Ying saw it, his heart moved, and then he looked at the current Western Army's main formation and immediately saw a problem.
This time the Western Army was mobilized, a passage was exposed, which could directly enter the Hosokawa Katsumoto's main formation.
This is actually no wonder Hosokawa Katsumoto.
After all, not everyone has this ability to command more than 100,000 troops. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen can trust that there are no more than ten generals who can command more than 100,000 troops.
The battles that Hosokawa Katsumoto fought were more of offense and defense of thousands of people, and it would be considered too much if it could shake 10,000 or 20,000 people.
In the Battle of Kyoto, although both sides mobilized more than 100,000 troops, no more than 100,000 troops were actually engaged. Moreover, Katsumoto Hosokawa did not have the experience of commanding more than 100,000 troops, so did Yamama Son-chan?
There is also no. Both sides are rookies pecking at each other.
However, although Wang Ying had never commanded it, he had also seen it. Not to mention the distance, the decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and Annan, the two sides had a total of nearly one million battles. In the Battle of Lang Son, Wang Ying participated in the periphery battle and later studied the battle between Guo Deng and Ruan Chi.
And Yang Zhen doesn't need to say anything.
Yang Hong felt that his two sons were not good, one had died under military law, and the other had mediocre qualifications. The next generation of the Yang family would count on Yang Xin.
So after retreating from the cabinet, he was in a semi-retired state to his grandsons. To be honest, if you really want to say that there are hundreds of thousands of troops and large corps fighting in such a large army, Yang Hong is confident that he will surpass Shi Heng and Guo Deng. Unless the British Duke Zhang Fu re-emerges underground, he will not accept anyone.
What is more important is Shi Heng's sense of war, and his keenness makes people feel that God is giving food to him. He seems to be able to live a life of a young man. However, although Yang Hong's achievements are not as good as Shi Heng, he is more of his own experience from hundreds of households step by step and has a comprehensive grasp of the army.
If there is a metaphor, it is that Shi Heng fights, it is like Li Bai writing a poem. He cannot learn it at all. However, Yang Hong commands the battle, but it is more like Du Gong's Ministry. Why is this happening? How many people are there to deal with when encountering situations, etc.
Although no one can fully learn it, you can always gain something.
And now Yang Zhen is like this.
Although Yang Zhen was young, he could not command the large corps to fight. However, under the influence of his grandfather, he had a concept of how to command the large corps to fight.
If Yang Zhen wants to truly have the ability to command large corps combat, he must have more than ten years of experience, and he will not even have it in his entire life. Many people, when a certain skill grows, really depends on talent.
But it did not prevent him from using Yang Hong to teach him his experience and picking out the details of Katsumoto Hosokawa.
Wang Ying pondered for a moment and said, "It's not easy to go here. Are you really willing to do this?"
Yang Zhen said: "How can I get a tiger's son than a tiger's den? The general has never thought about how the general should deal with himself as soon as reinforcements arrive?"
Yes, if the reinforcements behind arrived, the seal of the General of the East would be in Wang Ying's hands.
Wang Ying made a fuss and said, "Okay, I will only give you half an hour. Within half an hour, I won't say that I can take it. If I can't take it, I will withdraw my troops. I won't care about how you will be like."
The withdrawal of troops will inevitably have a rear guard, otherwise it will be a defeat. Yang Zhen rushed straight to Hosokawa Katsumoto's main formation. Even if she couldn't succeed, she would be deeply trapped in the rear of the Western Army. At that time, Wang Ying had to give up.
Yang Zhen said, "I understand." Yang Zhen was born in the general, and she was a young talent. She naturally had the temperament of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. Without saying a word, she returned to her own formation and rushed out with five thousand light cavalry.
In fact, fundamentally speaking, the flaws exposed by Hosokawa Katsumoto are not big.
Even this flaw Hosokawa Katsumoto has considered it.
But he didn't think about it twice.
First, the Kyoko family was so slow that they left the gap. Second, the Ming army's cavalry was so sharp.
After all, the Japanese had not really seen the power of the Ming cavalry. Everything before was in imagination. I really saw the Ming cavalry on the battlefield. Only then did Hosokawa Katsumoto know that the combat power of the Ming cavalry must be above their imagination.
But it's already late at this time.
Yang Zhen took the lead and put his personal guards in front.
Many of the personal guards have followed Yang Hong. They can be said to be the foundation of Duke Chang. After all, they are Yang Hong's grandson. How could Yang Hong not make any arrangements when he goes to the battlefield?
These hundreds of cavalry can be said to be among the elites of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they meet the thai cavalry in their heyday, they will have to fight to know who will win and who will lose.
At this moment, facing the Western Army's formation.
He was fearless at all. He relied on his armor and the armor on his horse and hit the Western Army's military formation, and only stopped countless sounds of collapse. Most of the bamboo guns used by him broke down one after another. The Ming army rushed straight into the military formation.
With a long sword, countless blood spurted out.
But it broke for a while in the breath.
The flaw pointed out by Yang Zhen is not that there is no one really guarding it, but that it is either on the side or on the side. In short, it is not at the center of gravity of each army. In addition, it is disconnected from each other forward, backward, left and right.
Therefore, when every military formation is attacked by Ming cavalry, its instinctive reaction is to retreat.
After all, each army belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the ones who die are their own.
But after they retreated like this, they exposed Hosokawa Katsumoto.
When the Ming cavalry rushed over, Hosokawa Katsumoto saw the danger. He immediately issued an order to prepare for adjustment, but his order was too late.
Almost before the order was issued, the army that accepted the order was destroyed or withdrawn from its original position.
Hosokawa Katsumoto almost watched Yang Zhen's troops rushing towards him. Yang Zhen used his actions to prove what it means to be a powerful force and how to take the general's head among all troops.
For a moment, more than 100,000 Western Army were stunned. Even the generals in the Eastern Army never thought of this.
