Honda Yasushige is worthy of being a veteran of the two major battles of Yasakawa and Nagashino, and his prestige in the army far exceeds that of Okupei, Sakai and other junior generals, and he reversed the low morale of the Tokugawa army as soon as he came out, and under his encouragement, the Tokugawa army was high-spirited and clamored to recapture the position and drive the Toyotomi army back to his hometown.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Hondayasu reorganized his army and moved southward to launch a fierce attack on Hosokawa Tadashibu. According to his plan, as long as he could recapture the position, he would be able to flank Fukushima Masanori and Kishida Tadashiyuki (Yamato) with the Sakai family's subordinate, and once these two divisions were defeated, the left flank of the Toyotomi army would completely collapse, and the Tokugawa army would be able to take the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and go straight to the Hideho main camp and end the battle with one blow.

Although Hosokawa Tadako is also battle-hardened, there is still a gap between him and Hondayasu, not to mention the Hojo clan with the aura of the Hojo clan and the people who fought a little, they gradually lost their positions under the onslaught of the rejuvenated Tokugawa army, and two daimyo were wounded and captured, and the war in Hinohara Kita seems to be developing in the direction of Hondayasu's reimagined.

However, just when the Toyotomi army had lost half of its position, struggling to support and even preparing to retreat temporarily, Fukushima Masanori actually came to support from the southwest, and the 9,000 army roared like a torrent and rushed into the battlefield, launching a counterattack against Honda Yasushige from the west and south, and in a short time it dispersed the advance of the Tokugawa army and resolved the crisis for Hosokawa Tadashi.

Faced with the sudden arrival of the Fukushima army, Hondokang was greatly shocked, and while regrouping his army, he asked the retainers next to him: "What's the matter?" How could Fukushima Masanori come to reinforcements? Could it be that Kogoro ...... him"

"Urgent!"

Before Honda Yasushige could finish speaking, he saw an envoy with a Sakai flag on his back to report it. After this man came to Honda's side, he tightened the reins and reported in a panic: "Kaiyu Feng Hou Guard, my lord was defeated in battle, suffered heavy casualties, and was hit in the right shoulder by an iron cannon, and was forced to withdraw from the battlefield. Our army's position has been lost, and the lord has sent a villain to pass the ceremony, hoping that the lord will beware of the reinforcements of the Toyotomi army. ”

"Beware?!" Bendokang's heavy kick will knock him off the horse. Pointing to the scene of the melee in the distance, he roared: "It is because of the defeat of your lord that the army of Fukushima Masanori has rushed to reinforce it!" What else do you want to beware, how can my 4,000 army resist 14,000 troops? Go back and tell Kogoro that he must take back the position, otherwise he won't be forgiven even if he is the lord! ”

"But my lord has been wounded, and it is difficult to ......fight again," the envoy could not finish speaking, but he was stabbed to death by Honda Kang, and Honda turned his horse's head. He commanded Ma Di behind him: "You have also seen his fate, quickly go to Kogoro and let him retake the position, if you can't convince him." You can cut yourself off! ”

"Yes!" The samurai bowed solemnly. The horse galloped in the direction of the retreat of the Sakai army.

At this time, Sakai Ieji had already been overwhelmed by Fukushima Masanori, and after losing 500 troops, he moved towards the rear Honda Tadakatsu position in embarrassment. He also knew in his heart what kind of punishment he would face if he lost his position, but when he thought of Fukushima Masanori's ferocious offensive, these punishments were nothing, after all, what could be more important than life? Moreover, the collapse of Hibara Kita began with Okuhei Iemasa, who was the first to be attacked but has been able to hold on until now. It was already not easy, and Sakai Ieji believed that even if Tokugawa Ieyasu punished himself, he would never be as cruel as he was to Okuhei Iemasa. Based on this, Sakai decided to retreat tactically. The position was handed over to Masanori Fukushima and Tadayuki Kishida.

Fukushima's entry into the battle completely reversed the tide of the battlefield, and previously lost positions were quickly recaptured. With strong support, the fighting spirit of the Hosokawa Tadashi Department has been greatly improved. On the contrary, after Honda Yasushige's three-wave offensive was thwarted, the Tokugawa army switched from offensive to defensive, and began to lose its support under the onslaught of the Toyotomi coalition army, which was three times its size, and Okuhira Iemasa's younger brothers Matsudaira Ieji and Matsudaira Tadamasa were killed in battle, and the only remaining brother was also cut in the right arm by Akaza Yoshiie.

In short, without Sakai Ieji's containment of the Toyotomi army, Honda Yasushige was powerless to return to heaven, and after sending an envoy to Okubo Tadatsune to ask him to send troops to respond, Honda Yasushige finally made up his mind to end this battle with no chance of winning at all. After leaving nearly a thousand corpses, he immediately led the remnants to withdraw to Okubo Tadatsune's position.

Out of self-blame, Honda Yasushige volunteered to serve as the temple army to stop the Toyotomi army, and although he was once overtaken by Fukushima Masanori, he finally escaped the danger and returned to the position smoothly with his flexible formation. Fukushima Masanori felt that he was poor and could not pursue, so he stopped the pursuit of Honda Yasushige, after all, with the two positions of Okuhei and Sakai currently occupied, the Tokugawa army had completely lost in Hinohara North, and the current worry was that the Tokugawa family was desperate to abandon Hinohara Kita and send Okubo and Honda's forces to Yubara to support Kanhara Yasumasa there. Once defeated by Fukushima Takayoshi, the Tokugawa army would be able to advance southwest along the valley to the flank of Hidebo's main camp, thus directly threatening Hidebo's safety.

Fukushima Masanori conveyed his concerns to Hideho through the envoy, and asked Hidebo to send troops to reinforce Fukushima Takayoshi to ensure the suppression of the two battlefields on the entire northern front. Hideho's direct reserve of 15,000 troops immediately agreed to Fukushima Masanori's request after learning of Hinohara's successive victories, and sent Kikita Keiyoshi to lead 5,000 troops to support Fukushima Takayoshi.

Although Xiubao has two million stone Zhixing, but there are only a handful of retainers who can get their hands on it, except for the eight ministers of Yamato, there are almost no generals who stand alone, and the tension of the war makes Xiubao send out the perennial guard of Kaida Jingji, which shows the lack of talent.

Due to the lack of generals, Hideho had to rely heavily on the daimyo of the Toyotomi clan, which meant that they had to be given sufficient rewards in the future, and in turn, the rewards of the Yamato Toyotomi clan would be reduced, so that the post-war pattern was likely to evolve into a situation in which the local daimyo were too big to fall in the early days of the Muromachi shogunate, which would seriously affect the foundation of Hideho's governance.

Thinking of this, Hideho was worried, but the current war was critical, in order to defeat Tokugawa Ieyasu, he could only rely on these Toyotomi daimyos, as for the post-war pattern, there was really no room to think more.

The good news of the suppression of the entire northern line of Hibara instantly spread throughout the Toyotomi clan, and under its encouragement, the battle on the main battlefield of Hibara and the sub-battlefield at the northern foot of Kohihara Mountain became more intense. With Mori Hidemoto's 7,000 reinforcements, Kyogoku Takaji was full of morale, while Tadamasa Torii and Masanari Naito were demoralized - Ii Naomasa's Akabi did not have the expected impact, and this cavalry-dominated force did not achieve much in front of Nasu Shikichi's Hachimanbei.

The three horse barriers built in imitation of the Battle of Nagashino, as well as the earthen ramparts and earthen fortifications, did not achieve the desired effect due to time constraints: the earthen barriers were too low and the earth bori was too shallow, and these defects gave Ii Naomasa the upper hand for a time. But with iron cannons and intensive fire, Ii Chibei eventually stopped the offensive momentum after breaking through the second line of guards.

And according to the pre-planned, the raid launched by Kawajiri Hidenaga to return to Ii's back also began at this moment. Under the front and rear attacks of the Toyotomi army, Naomasa Ii chose to retreat. However, the front and back were blocked, and he had to break through the north side of the Jingji Gaoji, who knew that this strategic turn of urgency and wisdom actually changed the battle situation at the northern foot of Xiaohi Mountain.
