Chapter 627: The Death of Tokugawa Iemitsu (1)

No matter how angry Tokugawa Iemitsu and the Tokugawa shogunate leaders were, no matter how much they scolded them, at this time, they had to fight the Ito family and the rebels in a civil war.

On November 18, the Ito family and 350,000 allied troops of each entered Nagano Prefecture and fought a decisive battle with the Tokugawa shogunate at Mt. Kiso.

Mt. Kiso, the Ito family, and the 350,000 allied forces of each confronted the 250,000 troops of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Here, almost all the elite soldiers of the current Wa State are concentrated, and when the Ming army is eyeing the coast, an unprecedented civil war broke out in the Wa State, on the one hand, the Tokugawa Shogunate for its own survival, on the other hand, the Ito family and each other are also for their own survival, but they have more promises from the Ming army, thinking that they can take the Tokugawa Shogunate and replace it, and destroy the Tokugawa Shogunate for the Ming Dynasty, so as to let the Ming army withdraw to save themselves.

In the eyes of the Ito family and Goban, the Ming army was too strong to defeat at all, and sacrificing a Tokugawa shogunate in exchange for the Ming withdrawal was their only choice, which could be regarded as their curve to save the country.

The decisive battle of a total of 600,000 troops was unprecedented in the history of the Japanese state.

"Kill Quack"

Ito Kamoto sat on a war horse, and with a katana waving his front finger, he gave the order to attack.

War horses were very rare in the Wa Kingdom, and only a few highest-ranking generals were qualified to mount.

The two armies were separated by about 300 meters, and the coalition forces on the Ito side attacked first.

On the part of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Tokugawa Iemitsu is also riding on a war horse, compared to Ito Kasumoto's high spirits, Tokugawa Iemitsu's face is gloomy, he can't see the future of this decisive battle, the Ming army is eyeing the tiger, not to mention whether the shogunate can defeat Ito Kasumoto and other coalition forces, even if it is defeated, in the face of the more powerful and almost invincible Ming army, how much resistance can the shogunate have left.

Seeing that the opposing coalition forces had begun to charge, Tokugawa Iemitsu's face turned black, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes were burning with anger.

At this point, it was impossible for the shogunate to surrender directly, only a war.

"Kill Gaga" Tokugawa Iemitsu roared angrily, his voice was terrible, as if he had roared out the biggest voice in his life at this moment.

"Kill Gaga" 250,000 shogunate soldiers burst out with an earth-shattering roar and rushed forward.

The Japanese admired samurai, and fought directly with katanas, and bows and arrows were rarely used.

At a distance of less than 300 meters, the two armies collided in just a few moments.

It was a fierce white-knuckle battle, one soldier after another on both sides fell on the battlefield, the blood flowed more and more, the ground was stained red, and the thick smell of blood began to permeate the battlefield.

"Poof!"

"Ahh

The wound was huge, and if you peeled off the clothes behind it, you could almost see the intestines in the stomach from the wound, and this elite soldier of the shogunate was also too dead to die.

The war was tragic, although the Tokugawa shogunate had more than 110,000 elite elites in the earliest shogunate and had strong combat effectiveness, but after all, there were only 250,000 people, while the Ito family and the various coalition forces reached 350,000, occupying an absolute advantage in numbers.

The Ito family and each fan also have the core army similar to the elite elite of the shogunate, although the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is not necessarily comparable to that of the shogunate, but it will not be much worse, and the numerical advantage allows the Ito family and each to occupy an absolute advantage.

The battle lasted for nearly two hours, and at this moment, more than 100,000 troops had been killed and wounded on both sides, including nearly 50,000 for the shogunate, nearly 60,000 for the Ito family and the coalition forces, and although the Ito family and the coalition forces had 10,000 more dead and wounded than the shogunate, the Ito family and the coalition forces still had nearly 300,000, while the shogunate had plummeted to only 200,000.

The balance of war began to tilt in favor of the Ito family and the coalition forces, and the coalition forces began to gain the absolute upper hand, steadily pressing the shogunate army on the battlefield.

A part of the shogunate's army began to be defeated and retreated.

The battle lasted another hour, and in the latter part of the battle, the physical strength of the soldiers on both sides gradually exhausted, and the casualties became more and more severe, this hour was more dead and wounded than in the last two hours just now, and a total of 130,000 soldiers were killed and wounded on both sides, and the number of dead and wounded on both sides was almost equal.

At this time, the number of soldiers in the shogunate was sharply reduced to 130,000, while the Ito family and the allied forces still had 22, which was still 90,000 more than the shogunate.

The superiority of the Ito family and the various coalition forces is already extremely obvious, and there is almost a ninety percent chance that they will win this battle.

At the rear of the battlefield, Tokugawa Iemitsu's face was even more hideous.

The shogunate is about to be defeated! The Ito family and various traitors are going to destroy his Tokugawa shogunate!

"Nope! My Tokugawa family is the king, Amaterasu is the god who blesses my Tokugawa family, the victory should belong to the shogunate, and the Ito family and the various traitors should lose! Tokugawa Iemitsu roared unwillingly in his heart, and his mood gradually became a little crazy.

At this moment, because of anger, Tokugawa Iemitsu had forgotten the Ming army that was still eyeing the coast of Hiroshima, and he only had anger in his heart, anger towards the Ito family and various times, and unwillingness to the imminent destruction of the Tokugawa shogunate.

It has been 80 years since the establishment of the first shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the process is glorious, and the shogunate should not have been destroyed like this.

"Newspaper"

"Curtain master, the left flank of the army has suffered heavy casualties and is retreating backwards!" A shogun suddenly returns from the battlefield to report his life.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart was shaken, the left wing was one of the main forces of the shogunate's army, and once defeated, it was almost possible to declare the shogunate defeated.

"Yaga! Kill Gaga" Tokugawa Iemitsu was in a hurry, and he personally went to support the left wing with the two thousand personal guards who were protecting him.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was unwilling to fail, anger and unwillingness to let his reason fade, and the whole person became crazy, which is also one of the habitual nature of the Wako, once they are overstimulated, their reason will deteriorate, and the whole person will become barbaric and arrogant, like a mad dog.

With the addition of Tokugawa Iemitsu and the 2,000 guards who protected him, the shogunate army temporarily withstood the rout, but anyone could see that it was only temporary.

The Ito family and the rear of the coalition forces.

"Hahahaha! The shogunate army has finally begun to rout, and the victory belongs to my Ito family! "Ito's face was full of red, and it seemed that he had foreshadowed the victory of the Great War, and the Ito family would reign over the Wa Kingdom and replace the glory of the Tokugawa shogunate.
