Chapter 970： Di Qing and Tachibana Doxue

A group of Eastern samurai cavalry was investigating in the northern suburbs of King City of Goryeo. Tachibana's retainers carried bows and arrows on their backs and katana on their waists for ten years.

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

The cavalry for ten o'clock in a row has about one hundred and fifty cavalry.

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

A general of the Xia army led five hundred Mongolian cavalry as an outpost, approaching the northern outskirts of King Goryeo, Wuling Mountain, less than 30 miles away from the King City.

"To open Beijing, you need to pass through hilly roads such as Huiyinling, Wangkexian, Lishixian, Wuling, and the plains between the hills. The narrowest part of some passes is only a few tens of meters. This is tricky."

Di Qing led a small group of cavalry to the Five Tombs, and Goryeo's scout cavalry might appear nearby at any time.

However, the more probed, the more frowning Di Qing became.

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

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

For the Xia Army, who used cavalry on a large scale, and even transferred cavalry from the prairie, this kind of terrain was simply a disaster, which severely restricted the movement of the cavalry.

Di Qing could not solve the terrain problem.

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

The 350,000 Liaodong Army could not fully deploy in such a terrain.

In the same way, the other party cannot launch an army.

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

"It's true."

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

The fog and heavy rain are the weather.

Hills, rivers, and valleys are geographical advantages.

"An enemy scout cavalry appeared nearby!"

"how many people?"

"I don't know!"

"Face it!"

Di Qing led the cavalry on the Wuling Mountain Road in the northern part of the King City of Goryeo, and encountered the cavalry of the Tachibana clan for ten years!

Di Qing estimated that the number of scout cavalry on the other side would not exceed 1,000, so when he saw the cavalry on the opposite side, he took the initiative to attack!

At ten o'clock for a long time, just seeing the shadow of Xia Jun cavalry, Di Qing dragged his sword and led five hundred Mongolian cavalry to kill!

Outpost battle broke out between two cavalry!

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

Immediately after ten o'clock, the katana was drawn out, and the sharp katana shone cold in the sun.

However, at ten o'clock, it was too late to evacuate, and was overtaken by five hundred Mongolian cavalry. Di Qing galloped on horseback, asking for what looked like the captain of ten o'clock!

One face, the knife in Di Qing's hand was cut off, the samurai sword broke into two pieces, and Di Qing was slashed under the horse for ten o'clock!

The Mongolian cavalry who were good at hunting whizzed past, and easily cut over 150 Eastern cavalry, only a few Eastern samurai escaped smoothly.

"If you bully the less with more, you can't win."

Di Qing bullied the other 150 Eastern cavalry with five hundred Mongolian cavalry, and was not proud of it. In Di Qing's view, this was a matter of course.

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

Di Qing managed to depict the detailed terrain around and mark the opponent's deployment.

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

"Master attendant ten o'clock and long sir, during the Wuling investigation, he was killed by Xia Jun!"

Tachibana Doyuki led a group of vassals and samurai on an expedition from Kaikyo. On the way, he learned that the general had been killed for a long time, so he couldn't help being moved.

The Tachibana family was an important retainer of the Tachibana family, and one third of the Tachibana family's troops came from the Tachibana family.

The main forces of the two armies have not yet fought, and he has already lost a general.

It was not the first time Tachibana Doxue had fought with Xia Jun.

However, every time, Tachibana Doxue failed to fight Chutian alone.

Tachibana Dosuki is one of the great names of Kyushu Island, one of the four islands of the East, and it is attached to the Otomo family, and the Shimadzu family defeats the Otomo family and unified Kyushu. After Oda Nobunaga established the shogunate, he re-divided the territory of Kyushu Island and entrusted 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 power, while the Shimadzu family belong to another power. Both are the two most powerful forces on Kyushu.

This time, Tachibana Doyuki and Shimazu Yoshihiro led 50,000 soldiers from Kyushu to support Li Chenggui, repelled the Fubo army, and faced the Liaodong army.

However, fighting against Xia Jun will kill people.

Tachibana Miyuki was heartbroken because of the death of an important retainer.

Ten Shirenzhen, one of the four kings of Tachibana Mountain Castle, was furious when he learned that the same family had been killed for ten years after a long period of action: "No matter who asks for the head of ten times, I will kill it!"

The other three of the Four Heavenly Kings, Yufu Yoshin, Andong Kachu, and Takano Daizen, had different expressions when they heard that they had been killed in battle at ten o'clock.

East Kyushu Island has a population of about three or four million. They are considered brave generals on Kyushu Island. However, in the battlefield of the Goryeo Kingdom, fighting with the heavenly soldiers of the Han Empire, any person may be killed.

Challenging the sovereign state would have taken a huge risk.

"Advance to Lishixian, use the hilly valley north of Kaijing to defend, restrict the cavalry movement of the Han Empire, and annihilate it."

The man in charge of the coalition forces is Lee Sung-gye who is familiar with the terrain of Korea.

Li Chenggui also knew that the Xia Army had a terrifying number of cavalry. As long as Chu Tian was willing and the terrain allowed, Chu Tian could even enlist a million cavalry.

Therefore, Li Chenggui chose the battlefield of the decisive battle as the hilly area north of the royal city.

"The Fire Dragon Legion still has 25,000 people who can join the battle, including 2,000 dragoons, 3,000 musketeers, 10,000 traditional cavalry, and 10,000 slave soldiers. It seems that the Dongying people have suffered considerable losses in the outpost."

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

Western-style fire dragon battle flags are displayed. Dragoons and musketeers are proud. They are the high-ranking arms of the United States. They are higher than traditional cavalry, and slave soldiers have the lowest status.

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

Prince Yan got a detailed topographic map drawn by Di Qing, and fell into deep thought: "The terrain here is not suitable for cavalry combat. The relatively flat plains are fragmented and there are a lot of muddy farmland."

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

"No matter what, you can only win Kaijing if you win these places."

Prince Yan knows the disadvantages of the terrain, but at this time he can only bite the bullet and head south. He can only see the melee, the ability of the two generals to adapt to changes, and the sharpness of the troops.

Before continuing south, Prince Yan sent someone to greet Le Yi and Li Mu, so that they could follow up as soon as possible.

Fifty thousand Mongolian cavalry entered Huiyinling and looked straight at Kexian.

Because the valley was narrow and could not accommodate 50,000 Mongolian cavalry and a large number of squadrons, Di Qing commanded about 5,000 cavalry as the pioneer of the Mongolian cavalry.

"Wangkexian... this place is a bit strange..."

After Di Qing left, Prince Yan saw that Wangkexian had an inn on the topographic map.

After the 50,000 Mongolian cavalry passed through Huiyin Ridge, they faced Wangkexian, which stretched from northeast to southwest.

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

After Wangkexian, it was Lishixian, who also needed to climb the saddle between the two hills.

This area is the most dangerous for Xia Jun.

Prince Yan invited a native of Goryeo and asked him about the location of the southeast of Wangkexian: "There is an inn here, and it is marked with a granary. Can it have a name?"

The native of Goryeo replied, "My lord, this place is called Bijeguan."

Di Qing personally went to investigate, so he was familiar with the road, led 5,000 cavalry, divided into several teams, quickly passed through the Huiyin Ridge, arrived at Wangkexian, and occupied the Bitaiguan post.

"The saddle in the middle of Wangkexian is suitable for marching. After passing the saddle, it is a small plain for the cavalry to move. You stay at the post and meet the army."

The army that Di Qing is best at commanding is also cavalry, so he prefers to march in flat areas.

Di Qing left 500 cavalry guards at Bihoho Hall and personally commanded 4,500 Mongolian cavalry to continue south.

With the size of the troops commanded by Di Qing, it is no longer a reconnaissance, but Xia Army's vanguard.

To the south of Wangkexian is Lishixian. When Di Qing passed through Wangkexian, the army of the Kyushu Army God Tachihwa Doxue, as the forerunner of the coalition forces, passed through the saddle of Lishixian and was about to enter the fragmentation between Wangkexian and Lishixian Plain.

Tachibana Doyuki takes Tachibana's vassal Ono Jinyuki as the first battle, 2,000 people, one of the four kings of Tachibana, Yufu Yoshinobu, as the center, 1500 people, and Tachibana Miyuki personally commanded 5,000 people in the back.

"My lord, I'm requesting to take the lead!"

One of the four kings of Tachibana Mountain Castle, Toshi Renzheng, because his cousin was killed in the battle for a long time, wanted to avenge his cousin, so he took the initiative to ask the head of the Patriarch Tachibana Doyuki to take the lead.

Tachibana Doyuki is still calm: "If you are impulsive, you will lose out in all likelihood."

Ten o'clock Lianzhen drew the samurai sword: "I would rather die!"

Tachibana Doxue thought for a long time, but finally nodded: "Jinyuki Ono changed to the captain of the Raiders. The first battle was to show weakness."

Shishi Lianzhen knew that Tachibana Doxue had agreed to his request, so she put on a helmet and rode forward to take over the 2,000-strong advance force.

Doyuki Tachibana divided 800 troops from the back to Jinyuki Ono, who made it a surprise team by UU reading .

Shishi Lianzhen took the lead and crossed the saddle first, approaching Wangkexian.

Tachibana Miyuki looked towards 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 white.

Tachibana Miyuki felt the murderous in the air.

The leader of Xia Jun's scout slashed the Tachibana's house for ten consecutive hours, indicating that Xia Jun's main force should be about to arrive nearby, and large-scale encounters may occur at any time.

Except for Tachibana Road Snow, Shimazu Yoshihiro's Satsuma Samurai, Brand's Fire Dragon Army, and Li Chenggui's army all assembled in the direction of Toshixian and Wangkexian.
