Chapter 970 Di Qing and Tachibana Daoxue

A group of Dongying warrior cavalry was investigating in the northern suburbs of King Koryo City. The retainers of the Tachibana family carried bows and arrows for a long time at ten o'clock, and samurai swords hung on their waists.

"The Liaodong Army may have arrived nearby, so be careful."

There are about 150 cavalry in the ten-hour Lianjiu cavalry.

A war eagle soared in the air, then swept down and landed on the shoulder of a Mongolian cavalryman.

A general of the Xia Army led 500 Mongolian cavalry as an outpost, approaching the Wuling Mountains in the northern suburbs of the King's City in Koryo, less than 30 miles away from the King's City.

"To attack Kaijing, you need to pass through Huiyinling, Wangkexian, Lishixian, Wuling and other hilly mountain roads, and the plains between the hills. The narrowest part of some passes is only tens of meters. This is tricky."

Di Qing led a small group of cavalry to the Wuling, and scouting cavalry from Goryeo might appear nearby at any time.

However, the more he probed, the more worried Di Qing became.

According to the planned marching route, the main force of the Xia army will go south along the mountain road of Huiyinling.

When Di Qing went south to investigate, he found that there were rugged and narrow hills, rivers, and valleys along the way, and paddy fields were scattered on the small plains between the hills.

For the Xia army, which used cavalry on a large scale, and even transferred cavalry from the prairie, this terrain was a disaster, severely restricting the cavalry's movement.

Di Qing had no way to solve the terrain problem.

Except for a very few generals who can reduce the adverse effects of terrain, most generals cannot avoid the impact of terrain.

The 350,000 Liaodong Army could not be fully deployed in such terrain.

In the same way, the opponent cannot deploy an army.

"General, not only that, the fog here is also quite serious, especially in the early morning."

"Indeed."

Di Qing also noticed that the fog had an effect on marching and fighting.

Fog, heavy rain is the weather.

Hills, rivers, and valleys are geographical advantages.

"An enemy scout cavalry appears nearby!"

"how many people?"

"I don't know!"

"Fight it!"

Di Qing led the cavalry on the Wuling Mountain Road in the north of the King's City in Koryo.

The ten-hour cavalry encounter with the Tachibana family's retainers!

Di Qing estimated that the number of scout cavalry on the other side would not exceed a thousand, so when he saw the cavalry on the other side, he took the initiative to attack!

At ten o'clock Lianjiu just saw the shadows of the Xia army's cavalry, and Di Qing drew his sword and led five hundred Mongolian cavalry to kill them!

An outpost battle broke out between two cavalry!

"It's Xia Jun's scout cavalry, retreat!"

At ten o'clock Lianjiu immediately pulled out the katana, and the sharp katana gleamed coldly in the sun.

However, Shi Shi Lianjiu had no time to retreat, and was overtaken by 500 Mongolian cavalry. Di Qing galloped on horseback, asking for Shi Shi Lian Jiu, who looked like the captain!

When they met each other, the sword in Di Qing's hand fell off, and the samurai sword broke in two. At ten o'clock, Di Qing chopped him off the horse!

The Mongolian cavalry, who were good at hunting, roared past, and easily cut down 150 Dongpu cavalry. Only a few Dongpu warriors escaped smoothly.

"How can you be invincible by bullying the few with more."

Di Qing bullied the opponent's 150 Dongying cavalry with 500 Mongolian cavalry, but he was not proud of it. In Di Qing's view, this was a matter of course.

If he still loses with such an advantage, he probably won't be able to go back and explain.

Di Qing managed to describe the surrounding terrain in detail and mark the opponent's deployment.

More and more scout cavalry appeared around, and Di Qing had to retreat.

"At ten o'clock Lianjiu, the servant, was killed by the Xia army during the investigation of Wuling!"

Lihua Daoxue led a group of retainers and warriors to set off from Kaijing. On the way, he learned that the general was killed in battle at ten o'clock, and he couldn't help being moved.

The Shishi family is an important retainer of the Tachibana family, and one-third of the Tachibana family's military strength comes from the Shishi family.

The main forces of the two armies have not yet fought, and a general has been lost on his side.

This is not the first time Tachibana Daoxue has fought against Xia Jun.

However, every time, Lihua Daoxue failed to fight Chutian alone.

Tachibana Doxue is one of the daimyos of Kyushu Island, one of the four islands in Japan, attached to the Otomo family, and the Shimadzu family defeated the Otomo family and unified Kyushu Island. After Oda Nobunaga established the shogunate, he re-divided the territory of Kyushu Island and divided the land of Kyushu Island to each daimyo. The main city of the Tachibana family is Tachibana Mountain Castle.

The Tachibana family and the Otomo family belong to the same faction, while the Shimadzu family belongs to another faction. The two are the two most powerful forces in Kyushu.

This time, Tachibana Doxue and Shimadzu Yoshihiro led 50,000 Dongying soldiers from Kyushu Island to support Li Chenggui, repelled the Fubo army, and met the Liaodong army.

However, if you fight Xia Jun, you will die.

Lihua Daoxue was heartbroken because of the death of an important retainer.

Shishi Lianzhen, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Lihua Mountain City, was furious when he learned that Shishi Lianjiu of the same family was killed in battle: "Whoever asks for the head of Shishi Lianjiu, I will kill him!"

The other three of the Four Heavenly Kings, You Bu Weixin, An Dong Jiazhong, and Gao Ye Dashan, heard that they were killed in battle at ten o'clock, and they had different expressions.

Dongying Kyushu Island has about three to four million people. They are considered brave generals in Kyushu Island, but in the battlefield of Koryo, fighting against the Heavenly Soldiers of the Han Empire, any one of them may die in battle.

To challenge the suzerain country is to take huge risks.

"March to Lishixian, use the hills and valleys north of Kaijing to defend, limit the cavalry of the Han Empire, and wipe it out."

The person who served as the commander of the coalition forces was Li Chenggui, who was familiar with the terrain of Goryeo.

Li Chenggui also knew that Xia Jun had a terrifying number of cavalry. As long as Chutian was willing and the terrain allowed, Chutian could even conscript a million cavalry.

Therefore, Li Chenggui chose the battlefield of the decisive battle as the hilly area in the north of Wangcheng.

"The Fire Dragon Corps still has 25,000 people who can go into battle, including 2,000 dragoons, 3,000 musketeers, 10,000 traditional cavalry, and 10,000 slave soldiers. The Dongying people seem to have suffered a lot in the outpost."

Brand, the head of the Fire Dragon Legion, counted the soldiers who could still fight.

The Western-style fire dragon battle flag is waving, and the dragoons and musketeers are high-ranking. They are the high-level arms of the United States, and their status is higher than that of traditional cavalry. The status of slave soldiers is the lowest.

Di Qing returned to the camp and joined Crown Prince Yan who was the vanguard general: "We must pass Huiyin Ridge as soon as possible and occupy Wangkexian and Lishixian. Otherwise, if these terrains are occupied by the Korean coalition forces, it will be difficult to go south."

Prince Yan got the detailed topographic map drawn by Di Qing, and fell into deep thought: "The terrain here is not suitable for large cavalry to fight. The relatively flat plain terrain is broken, and there are many muddy farmlands."

Di Qing was as worried as Prince Yan: "The general has the same idea, but in some spacious places, thousands of cavalry can still be allowed to charge. As for tens of thousands of cavalry to charge at the same time, it is almost impossible."

"No matter what, the only way to win Kaijing is to win these places."

Prince Yan knew that the terrain was disadvantageous, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and go south. He could only see the melee, the adaptability of the generals on both sides, and the level of elite troops invested.

Before continuing south, Crown Prince Yan sent someone to greet Le Yi and Li Mu, ordering them to follow as soon as possible.

Fifty thousand Mongolian cavalry entered Huiyin Ridge and rushed straight to Wangkexian.

Because the valley was too narrow to accommodate 50,000 Mongolian cavalry and a large number of trains, Di Qing commanded about 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard of the Mongolian cavalry.

"Wang Kexian... this place is a bit strange..."

After Di Qing left, Prince Yan saw a station in Wangkexian on the topographic map.

After 50,000 Mongolian cavalry passed through Huiyin Ridge, they faced Wangkexian, which was heading northeast-southwest.

The saddle of Wangkexian can march, but it is narrow.

After Wangkexian, it is Lishixian, which also needs to climb over the saddle between the two hills.

This area is the most dangerous for Xia Jun.

Prince Yan summoned an aborigine from Koryo, and asked him about the location in the southeast of Wangkexian: "There is a post here, and it is marked with a granary. Do you have a name?"

The natives of the Koryo Kingdom replied: "My lord, this place is called Bichiguan."

Because Di Qing went to investigate in person, he was familiar with the road, led 5000 cavalry, divided into several teams, quickly crossed Huiyin Ridge, arrived at Wangkexian, and occupied the Bichiguan Post Station.

"The saddle in the middle of Wangkexian is suitable for marching. After passing through the saddle, there is a small plain, which is convenient for cavalry to move. You stay at the post station to meet the rear army."

Di Qing is best at commanding the cavalry, so he prefers to march in flat areas.

Di Qing left 500 cavalrymen to guard the bichi hall, and personally commanded 4,500 Mongolian cavalrymen to continue southward.

Commander Di Qing's army was no longer considered a reconnaissance, but the vanguard of Xia's army.

To the south of Wangkexian is Lishixian. When Di Qing passed through Wangkexian, the army of Kyushu Army God Tachibana Doxue, who was the vanguard of the coalition army, passed through the saddle of Lishixian, and was about to enter the broken area between Wangkexian and Lishixian. plain.

Tachibana Doxue took Tachibana's vassal Zhenyu Ono as the first lineup, with 2,000 people, Yufu Yuishin, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Tachibana, as the middle lineup, 1,500 people, and Tachibana Doxue personally commanded 5,000 people in the back lineup.

"My lord, please take the lead!"

Shishi Lianzhen, one of the four heavenly kings of Lihua Mountain City, wanted to avenge his cousin because his cousin was killed in battle for a long time at ten o'clock, so he took the initiative to ask the patriarch Lihua Daoxue to take the lead.

Lihua Daoxue was still calm: "If you are impulsive, you will lose the army nine times out of ten."

At ten o'clock Lianzhen drew out her samurai sword: "Give me death!"

Lihua Daoxue thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Ono Zhenxing was changed to the captain of the Raiders. The first team adopts the tactics of showing weakness."

At ten o'clock, Lianzhen knew that Lihua Daoxue had agreed to his request, so he put on his helmet and rode to take over the 2,000-strong vanguard.

Tachibana Doxue assigned 800 troops from the rear to Zhenxing Ono, making them a surprise army.

At ten o'clock Lianzhen took over the front line, crossed the saddle first, and approached Wang Kexian.

Tachibana Michiyuki looked at the sky.

The action of the two armies took place in the early morning. When the two sides entered Lishixian and Wangkexian, the sky was already slightly pale.

Tachibana Doxue felt the murderous aura in the air.

Xia Jun's scout leader suddenly beheaded Lihua's family for ten hours, indicating that the main force of Xia Jun should be arriving here soon, and a large-scale encounter may occur at any time.

Except for Tachibana Doxue, Shimadzu Yoshihiro's Satsuma warriors, Brand's Fire Dragon Corps, and Li Chenggui's army all assembled in the direction of Lishixian and Wangkexian.
