"Baga, baga, what's going on?"
Tokugawa Hideyoshi was horrified: "Could it be that a large group of Ming army pursuers are attacking us?"
Takeda Nobuo was also terrified. Yang Xiao and his men, who had just changed their horses, were too fast. While he and Tokugawa Hideyoshi were still confused, Yang Xiao's men had already rushed to a place about a mile away.
These are cavalry, and they are already right in front of us within a mile.
"Quick, stop them," Tokugawa Hideyoshi drew the sword from his waist and swung it vigorously.
And Tokugawa Hideyoshi's personal guards quickly turned around and stood in front of Tokugawa Hideyoshi.
In addition, Takeda Nobuo, who reacted a little slower, also hurried to gather troops.
However, at this moment, Tokugawa Hideyoshi's previous cleverness obviously produced different results.
Because Tokugawa's previous deployment was to face the stronghold that the Ming army had built overnight, with the brave warriors in front, the second-class soldiers in the back, and the recently captured strong men at the end.
But at this moment, when Yang Xiao appeared behind them, the situation was just the opposite. At this moment, the recently captured young men were in front, the second-class soldiers were in the back, and those who really dared to fight were still rushing towards the last big fence of the Ming army.
Those young men who had been captured recently had no desire to fight. They could only form an orderly formation because of the support from the people in front and the pressure from Tokugawa Hideyoshi in the back.
But at this moment, when they learned that the Ming army had appeared behind them, they were already in a panic, so much so that when Takeda Nobuo asked them to turn around and fight the enemy, they were just stunned on the spot.
The Ming cavalry had already pressed to within a mile. Although Yang Xiao only had 500 men, to be honest, who knew how many people had arrived.
In a desperate situation, timid and cowardly people often can only do what they think is the most correct way to save their lives.
That means escape.
Those able-bodied men who had been captured recently almost all fled in a hurry, but the consequences were quite serious. Some of them even climbed directly up the mountains on both sides.
In this kind of terrain, with Ming troops on both sides, where can they run? They can only climb the mountains on both sides.
However, climbing the mountain is not that easy. If this were the case, Tokugawa Hideyoshi would have sent a troop to go around the rear of the Ming army camp and attack from both sides. Even Yang Xiao's cavalry took more than two hours to get behind Tokugawa Hideyoshi, let alone this group of Japanese.
…
Yang Xiao's 500 cavalrymen had already killed to a distance of less than a hundred feet from Tokugawa Hideyoshi. At such a distance, his own camp was still in such chaos. At this moment, even Tokugawa Hideyoshi himself was terrified.
"Baga, baga, you scum of the empire, hold on, hold on."
…
Even though Yang Xiao only has 500 cavalrymen, if there is a one in ten thousand chance, as long as they get close, they can defeat an entire country.
The cavalry was so fast that it seemed like in just a blink of an eye, Yang Xiao's cavalry had reached a distance of thirty or forty feet away from Tokugawa Hideyoshi. They drew their bows and shot arrows, and in a moment, hundreds of arrows whizzed towards them.
The Japanese camp was already in chaos, and now it was even more chaotic.
Those young men who had just been captured by Tokugawa Hideyoshi had never seen such a scene before. For a moment, they were terrified. They fled madly and desperately in all directions, trampling and colliding with each other. Even those who were still in the front attacking the Ming army camp were panicked. They had no idea that the Ming army would suddenly appear behind them.
Everyone thought that a large number of Ming troops had arrived. For a moment, the stronghold that was about to fall became stable again.
Others didn’t know, but the Ming army in the big camp knew that it was Yang Xiao, and he finally caught up.
…
Arrows rained down like rain. Although the 500 Ming soldiers led by Yang Xiao quickly shot out all the arrows they carried, they threw away the bows in their hands, drew the steel knives at their waists, and rushed into the Japanese camp.
Tokugawa Hideyoshi was still organizing people to resist, and so was Takeda Nobuo. However, it was useless because they were surrounded by young men who had just been captured. They had no fighting power at all. Not to mention fighting power, even their execution ability was almost zero at this moment.
Nobuo Takeda hurriedly walked in front of Tokugawa, and then he and two of his bodyguards forcibly dragged him back.
Looking at Yang Xiao again, in fact, from the moment he charged, he had already locked his sights on Tokugawa Hideyoshi. Since the war began, no enemy general had been killed. If Yang Xiao failed to kill a general this time, it would be considered imperfect.
Yang Xiao, like a killing god, took the lead and charged directly into the Japanese camp, and the remaining 500 cavalrymen also rushed in forcefully.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of tactic of breaking through the enemy's formation is usually done by heavily armored cavalry. When the heavily armored cavalry charges into the enemy's formation, they can often break through the enemy's formation with one strike. The Mongols at that time were very good at this tactic.
However, Yang Xiao only had 500 light cavalry at the moment. Even if he rushed in, he could only fight for a while. If he had 10,000 heavy armored soldiers following him at this moment, then with today's situation, the outcome would be decided, and Tokugawa Hideyoshi would have a hard time surviving.
Yang Xiao was inside the Japanese camp, desperately waving the steel knife in his hand. Every time he swung the knife, a little bastard would surely die.
"You thief, die."
The situation was a bit chaotic, with Japanese people all around at a loss. After Yang Xiao killed a few ignorant Japanese people, he rushed towards Tokugawa Hideyoshi like a god.
At this moment, Yang Xiao really felt a sense of heroism as if he was taking the head of a general from among thousands of soldiers. For a moment, he even felt that Guan Yu was no more than that in the past.
However, no matter how useless the Japanese are, there are always capable fighters among the army of 50,000 to 60,000 people. They cannot be just useless.
At the critical moment, Tokugawa Hideyoshi's personal guards were still quite powerful. They had received a lot of favors from Tokugawa. In the words of the Japanese, these personal guards were the private samurai of the Tokugawa family. They had been waiting for such a moment all their lives.
Several figures rushed directly towards Yang Xiao. These personal guards of Tokugawa Hideyoshi were quite capable, and there were many ninjas among them. Yang Xiao thought he had a sure victory, but at this moment, a blazing flame burst out from the mouth of a ninja.
Yang Xiao didn't dare to be careless. If he got burned, it would be no fun.
Yang Xiao, who was on horseback, suddenly flew up, but it was a pity for the warhorse under his crotch. The good horse was directly set on fire.
"Asshole, how dare you burn my horse."
