Chapter 37: The Great Victory

Looking at the small group of people who were getting closer and closer, Oda Huiyong, the commander of the Guards Corps, Jin Yunkai, sneered twice, raised his right hand, and said, "Prepare ......"

The Guards soldiers immediately raised their guns, put their hands on the trigger, looked straight ahead, and waited for the next order.

At this moment, Jin Yunkai heard a "whoop" from the left wing, and a group of people rushed out.

I saw that the left-wing Satsuma Guard, under the leadership of Shaoji Sadayori, frantically rushed towards Oda Huiyong's group.

Then there was the right wing, seeing Satsuma Wei rushing out, Li Congshan on the right wing couldn't help it, he raised his sword and shouted: "Rush! Kill! Don't let these people take the lead! ”

Seeing that the left and right wings rushed out, Jin Yunkai was a little stunned, and he couldn't help but look back at the commander Qu Yu.

Qu Yu frowned, but quickly unfolded, and immediately gave an order: "Come on, attack on all fronts!" ”

Listening to the sound of drums behind him, Shao Erzhen Lai knew that he had pressed the right treasure, and he saw that the Hyuga Wei on the right wing was also rushing forward, and he couldn't help but be anxious: "Rush!" Come on! ”

Shao Erzhen Lai took the lead, rushed into the left flank of the Japanese army, cut off the skull of a Japanese soldier with a knife, and shouted: "These are all merits, all land, and all silver for nothing!" ”

Li Congshan on the right wing was not to be outdone: "Kill!" Kill! The head is not enough, hurry up! ”

Satsuma Wei and Hyuga Wei were greatly boosted, because Yang Rong had awarded awards before, one head and two silver yuan, three heads of one acre of land, and five heads were promoted to one level......

Originally, Shao Erzhen Lai and Li Congshan were still worried that they would become cannon fodder, and they even had some grinding when they got off the ship, but they didn't expect the Ming army to have a weapon like a flying ball, and Hosokawa Yoshimoto on the top of the mountain was wiped out in an instant, and the castle of Ichinoya fell into a sea of fire, and the Japanese army in the fortifications was disheartened, and most of them fled, only a small number of Japanese soldiers ran over to die, the number was too small, if it ran slowly, the credit would go to someone else......

Oda Kaiyong found himself in an instant encirclement, the other party moved quickly, and his attack was vicious, and what made him tremble even more was that these people turned out to be Japanese people, and we were actually killing each other!

"Ahh Yes! ”

Oda would stab to death a soldier who was wielding a Japanese language, shouting, "Are you all crazy? You're all widows! ”

"I'm not a widow, I'm the viscount of Daming, my name is Li Congshan, you give me death!" As he spoke, Li Congshan raised his long knife and slashed it down diagonally.

Oda Kaiyong hurriedly turned the horse's head, and before he could settle down, he heard the wind behind his head, and he quickly bowed down, and heard a "woo" sound, a large knife swept over Oda Kaiyong's back, and a piece of his scalp was cut off.

"Ahh

Oda Eiyong screamed and hurriedly beat his horse and fled forward.

Lai Daxi, who succeeded in the first blow, immediately hit his horse and chased after him, and Li Congshan was not to be outdone and intercepted from the side.

Swords and spears flew, horses whirled, although Oda Huiyong was brave, but he was not the joint enemy of Shao Er Zhenlai and Li Congshan, and was soon caught by Li Congshan and cut down the horse.

At the moment when Oda Huiyong fell off his horse, he found that there were only more than 1,000 of his subordinates who rushed out with him, and most of them had been wiped out, and all their heads had been cut off.......

It's over, it's over!

This was Oda Kainaga's last thought.

After the remnants of Oda Kaiei's army were wiped out, Qu Yu ordered the immediate occupation of the fortifications of the Japanese army's Yamane, and at the same time searched Mt. Hafushi, Mt. Takatori, and Ichinoya Castle, and not a single person was allowed to slip through the net.

Shao Erzhen Lai, Li Congshan, Xu Bao, Jin Nanxuan and others received their orders!

......

Bulbul Valley.

When the fire broke out in the Bofu Mountain and the life and death of Hosokawa Yorimoto were unknown, Shimoda Tadaji looked up at the sky, gritted his teeth, beckoned to his subordinate generals, and said: "Koizumi Ichiro, you lead 2,000 people to go around to Takatori Mountain, look for the whereabouts of the lord, live to see people, dead to see corpses!" ”

"Yes!"

"Shinji Sato, you go to Ikuta Forest to inform the young master, quickly withdraw the army back to Osaka, and at the same time ask His Excellency the Minister of the Interior for help. Also, once the head of the family has an accident, you must support the young head of the family and keep the foundation of the Hosokawa family! ”

"Yes!"

"Okamoto Masatsu, you lead the infantry to retreat along the mountain road in the western part of the Bulyue Valley, run as much as you can!"

"Yes!"

The generals were originally a little flustered, but now they listened to Shimoda Tadaji's orders in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but make up their minds, and Shimoda Tadaji personally arranged for the escape, so he was not responsible, so he was all angry.

"My lord, what about our cavalry?"

Mitsuhide Matsumoto, the commander of the cavalry, who had not received an order, bowed.

Looking at Matsumoto Mitsuhide's gaze, Shimoda Tadaji sighed and said: "In the direction of Ichinoya in the east, Oda will never be a brave man, I am afraid that it will be defeated soon, I will personally lead two thousand cavalry to assault the Ming army and stop the Ming army from pursuing and killing." ”

"And you, lead the remaining 3,000 cavalry to attack the Ming army that landed on Cape Hotan to win more time for the infantry to escape!"

"My lord, no!"

Shinoji Sato, Masamito Okamoto and others hurriedly stopped: "My lord, let me lead the cavalry to stop the Ming army!" ”

"Yes, my lord, the Hosokawa family can't live without you!"

"No need," Shimoda Tadaji shook his head and waved his hand: "The kindness of the gentlemen, the old man understands it, but, alas, ......"

After being silent for a while, Shimoda Tadaji said categorically: "Let's go, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!"

Looking at the kneeling generals, Shimoda Tadaji shouted angrily: "Execute the military order, do you want me to die without turning a blind eye?" ”

......

Shimoda Tadaji personally led the cavalry and attacked the direction of Ichinoya, just in time to meet the guards led by Geng Yunkai.

Looking at the neatly formed guards, Shimoda Tadaji gasped, he had specially found someone to study the battle examples of Kyushu, and knew that he could not rush the gun formation of the Ming army, so he had to order the cavalry to retreat and wait for the Ming army to scatter.

But after retreating a few hundred meters, Shimoda Tadaji was disappointed, and the infantry phalanx of the Ming army marched according to the beat of the drum, and the queue was unusually neat, always keeping about two hundred meters with him.

Can't wait any longer, Shimoda Tadaji smiled bitterly and looked at the fortifications of Yamane, those traitors had already touched along the fortifications, threatening their flanks, and not far behind them, there was the Bulbul Gap, which was already very close to Cape Wada.

No, you can't let the Ming army meet.

Shimoda Tadaji turned his horse's head and made a detour to the coast, intending to attack the Ming army's flank.

Looking at Shimoda Zhongji's actions, a sneer appeared on Geng Yunkai's face: "Tiger squatting cannon, prepare!" ”

"Three, two, one, fire!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Ahh

"Ahh Yes! ”

"Help!"

Under the steel balls sprayed in the shape of the tiger squat cannon, the cavalry fell one after another, and the battlefield was in shambles, and the screams were endless.

When the smoke cleared, Shimoda Tadaji was stunned by the scene in front of him, in less than two incense sticks, his cavalry had lost nearly thirty percent, the horses that fell on the battlefield, broke their necks and the cavalry that were killed abounded, and the few remaining undead cavalry and horses were all groaning in pain......

At this moment, the infantry phalanx of the Ming army had turned, forcing Shimoda Tadaji's cavalry to the side of the beach.

"Dismount! Those who descend do not die! ”

"Dismount! Those who descend do not die! ”

Listening to the persuasion of the Ming army, listening to the sound of the word, Shimoda Tadaji smiled bitterly, looked back at the cavalry around him, and found that most of the cavalry avoided his eyes, and a small number of eyes looked directly into his eyes, but most of them were pleading.

While Shimoda Tadaji was hesitating, gunshots rang out from the Ming army's formation, and the cavalry in the front row fell in response.

At this moment, gunshots rang out behind Tadaji Shimoda, and he subconsciously looked back to see several ships on the sea......

This became the last straw that crushed the Japanese army, and the cavalry on the periphery dismounted, held their heads in their hands, and fell to the ground on their knees, and the gunfire of the Ming army also stopped.

Like an infectious disease, the Japanese cavalry dismounted one after another, and in the end, only dozens of people around Shimoda Tadaharu remained, still on horseback.

Shimoda Tadaji shook his head, looked around, and found that Matsumoto Mitsuhide's cavalry was also forced to retreat, and Ikuta Forest was on fire, and he didn't know what happened to Hosokawa Mitsumoto.

However, none of this has anything to do with me anymore!

What kind of battle is this?

Shimoda Tadaji found that he had been fighting all his life, but he was like a junior brother on the battlefield and didn't understand anything.

The army of 50,000 collapsed in less than half a day, and the enemy's casualties were probably only a handful, what the hell is going on?

Looking at the gaze of his subordinates, Shimoda Tadaji smiled: "You all have descended!" ”

"Your ......, my lord"

Ignoring his subordinates, Shimoda Tadaji raised his sword high, clamped his horse hard, and rushed to the battle formation of the Ming army, shouting as he rushed: "Long live the emperor, the ...... of the Wa Kingdom"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Shimoda Tadaji shook his horse a few times, his sword fell to the ground, and in his last moments, he muttered a few words in his mouth: "Wa Guo, you will not die!" ”

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!"

As soon as Shimoda Tadaji died, more than a dozen people around him screamed a few times, and then did not hesitate to swing a knife to kill themselves, and the body fell into the dust......

......

Shimoda Tadaharu was dead, and was immediately beheaded, and most of Matsumoto's cavalry surrendered.

And Shinji Sato, who rushed to the Ikuta Forest, faced the raging fire and apologized for his sins!

Okamoto Masatsu on the top of Kaohsiung Mountain fell to his knees, with tears in his eyes: "My lord, I will avenge you!" ”

......

On July 23, the ninth year of Kenbun, the Ming army occupied Hyogo, controlled the nearby mountains of Mt. Hafushi and Mt. Takatori, and approached Osaka and threatened Kyoto.

The casualties of the Ming army in this battle were very small, the casualties of the guards were only more than ten people, and the rest of the casualties were all Zhuwei of Zhuzi Mansion, and the total number was only a few hundred.

More than 20,000 Japanese prisoners were captured, including more than 3,000 cavalry and nearly 4,000 horses.

In addition, he killed the main general of the Japanese army, Hosokawa Yorimoto, and the deputy generals Oda Kainaga and Shimoda Tadaji, and dozens of other inferior generals, and the life and death of the enemy general Hosokawa Mitsumoto are unknown.
