Chapter 513: The Defeat of Tokugawa

As both sides began their respective military deployments, a major war was inevitable.

First of all, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who led all the soldiers and horses of the Tokugawa shogunate, about 100,000, out of Kyoto on Wajima, and moved towards the retreating port of Yokohama with the Ming army.

After Zhu Hao received this news, he immediately ordered the retreating soldiers and horses to continue to retreat, ignoring the Tokugawa Iemitsu who was chasing after him.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, when he saw the Ming army, blindly retreated, and did not pay attention to him at all, which made him greatly confident, and immediately ordered the whole army to hurry up the pursuit, and must inflict heavy losses on the Ming army at the port of Yokohama.

Just after Tokugawa Iemitsu pursued to Yokohama Port, Zhu Hao immediately ordered the whole army to turn around and contain Tokugawa Iemitsu, and at the same time, 30,000 people from Rujima, led by Xu Chu, attacked Wajima Kyoto.

Tokugawa Iemitsu didn't know that Zhu Hao had 30,000 horses and horses left on the island, and he thought that Zhu Hao's army was all evacuated in Yokohama Port.

Therefore, when Tokugawa Iemitsu left Kyoto, he only symbolically left 2,000 soldiers and horses to defend Kyoto, and these 2,000 soldiers and horses were still old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were unable to fight fiercely.

In this way, the 30,000 tiger and wolf army led by Xu Chu took Kyoto almost without much effort.

After Xu Chu took Kyoto, he immediately followed Zhu Hao's deployment and started to act, and then fired several signal flares to report to Zhu Hao.

Yokohama Pier, which itself is not far from Kyoto, Japan, after several signal flares were empty, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he immediately made people shout:

"Tokugawa Iemitsu, you stupid fool who cares about your head, look back, your nest has been occupied by my Ming army!"

"Now, you are a lost dog, why don't you quickly kneel and beg to survive?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu listened to the shouts of the Ming army, his heart was shocked, and a panicked look appeared on his face, as the saying goes, in this world, if you are not afraid of no good things, you are afraid that there are no good people.

At this moment, there is such a person who is not a good person by Tokugawa Iemitsu's side, he is Tokugawa Iemitsu's number one chief of staff, Yamada Nobunaga.

When Yamada Nobunaga saw Tokugawa Iemitsu, a hesitant look appeared on his face, and he immediately stepped forward as smart and persuaded Yamada Nobunaga:

"General, don't fall for the tricks of the Ming army, they have all evacuated, how can anyone attack our Kyoto?"

"They are bluffing and messing with our army's heart, please general, don't listen to their rumors!"

Tokugawa Nobunaga listened to Yamada Nobunaga's words, the panicked look on his face, retreated slightly, but his face was still heavy, Yamada Nobunaga saw that Tokugawa Iemitsu, still a little shaken, so he spoke again:

"General, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, the heavy damage to the Ming army is in front of this battle, please strengthen your confidence!"

"These Ming troops, spreading rumors, show that they can't support it anymore!"

"As long as we step up our offensive, the merit is in front of us!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu was finally moved by Yamada Nobunaga's words, and immediately shouted:

"Your commander has died of the plague, and you still dare to spread rumors to disturb the hearts of our army, I will see that it is you who should kneel and beg for life!"

Zhu Hao was unwilling to let the Ming army suffer unnecessary casualties, and after Tokugawa Iemitsu's words were finished, he immediately stepped forward and said:

"What kind of bastard thing is it, here to speak out and curse the king to death?"

As Zhu Hao stepped forward, without Zhu Hao introducing himself to Tokugawa Iemitsu, Yamada Nobunaga, who was next to Tokugawa Iemitsu, exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost:

"Zhu Youzhen !!"

Hearing Yamada Nobunaga's exclamation, Tokugawa Iemitsu immediately looked back at Yamada Nobunaga and said to him again:

"This person is the commander of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters?"

At this moment, Yamada Nobunaga, the whole person was in a short circuit, and after listening to Tokugawa Iemitsu's words, he was stunned in place, nodded solemnly, and said nothing.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, after Yamada Nobunaga confirmed Zhu Hao's identity, the whole person was also in shock, and he instinctively thought that what the Ming army said about the occupation of Kyoto just now was true.

This idea, after Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart arose, he did not go for a long time, which made him feel retreating in his heart.

It is said that the name of the person and the shadow of the tree, Zhu Hao appeared, and after shouting, he actually shocked the soldiers of the two armies who were fighting fiercely.

Compared with the Tokugawa shogunate soldiers, the confused look in their eyes, the entire Ming soldiers, at the moment when Zhu Hao appeared, their eyes were full of fanaticism.

Then I don't know who it was, so I shouted first:

"His Royal Highness King Shin Chitose!"

The entire Ming army was completely ignited, and all of them shouted: "His Royal Highness King Xin, Chitose!" The soldiers of the Tokugawa shogunate were slashed and killed.

As the Ming soldiers brandished their swords and guns, the soldiers of the Tokugawa shogunate also picked up their swords and fought hard to resist, and the two armies fought together again after Zhu Hao appeared and stopped for a moment.

However, this confrontation is no longer as evenly matched as just now, and after Zhu Hao's appearance, the entire Ming army has become fierce and fierce.

A pursuit battle that was obviously launched by the Tokugawa shogunate, but because of the appearance of Zhu Hao, it turned into a pursuit battle of the Ming soldiers who pursued the Tokugawa shogunate.

The reversal of the offensive and defensive roles of the enemy made Tokugawa Iemitsu even more determined to retreat, and he did not hesitate anymore and immediately gave the order to retreat.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Tokugawa shogunate, who were being defeated by the Ming army, heard the order of Tokugawa Iemitsu and retreated, and they all ran back in a hurry.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Tokugawa shogunate were very parents who had two legs and could not quickly escape from the pursuit of the Ming army.

As these soldiers of the Tokugawa shogunate fled in a hurry, the entire Tokugawa army collapsed in an instant.

Tokugawa Iemitsu never dreamed that this battle, which was obviously the Tokugawa shogunate, pursued the retreating army of the Ming Dynasty, but became a battle to break the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Because the rule of the entire shogunate was the joint product of several large families, after this war, Tokugawa Iemitsu's appeal to each family fell to the freezing point, and the leaders of all the families participating in the war were extremely dissatisfied with Tokugawa Iemitsu at the moment.

Tokugawa Iemitsu also knew this, so he just fled in a hurry in the Tokugawa family, his own escort army, and did not order the rest of the troops to retreat in unison.

With the retreat of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the Tokugawa Shogunate's nearly 100,000 troops, only less than 50,000 horses remained with Tokugawa Iemitsu, most of whom were descendants of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Except for the rest of the soldiers and horses, nearly 10,000 people who died in the battle just now, the rest all fled for their lives and returned to their original families.
