Chapter 97: The Capture of Tokugawa (Page 1/1)

The cavalry scouts sent out finally discovered the traces of the Fusang army fifty miles to the north, and immediately reported it back to the main force of the army behind.

Several division commanders were excited, on the one hand, they asked Tanma to continue to monitor the returns, and on the other hand, they hurriedly adjusted the defensive line and prepared for an ambush.

After dawn, Tokugawa Hidetada found that he had deviated from his direction, but fortunately he did not deviate too much, so he secretly called it a fluke. After the army hurriedly had breakfast, they hurried towards the port of Busan with the army.

Although there is still no trace of the Ming army since the evacuation, the string in Tokugawa Hidetada's heart does not dare to relax at all, but collapses tighter and tighter.

The delay in the appearance of the Ming army shows that their plan is even greater, which is naturally not a good thing.

Rushing all the way, the team of tens of thousands of people has been stretched into a long snake, and the distance from the opposite end to the end of the team is about ten miles. In addition, the weather was hot, the soldiers were tired and hot, and many of them were still wearing thick iron armor, which was even more miserable and sweaty.

Some daimyo asked for a moment to rest, but Tokugawa Hidetada resolutely did not allow it.

"Stopping at this time is undoubtedly giving the Ming army a chance to pursue us. Only when we arrive at the port of Busan sooner, we will be safe sooner. You are a fool, if you keep making noise, you will not be spared! ”

Seeing that Tokugawa Hidetada, who had always been moody, was angry, those daimyo were all worried, so they had to go home in a huff.

However, the soldiers below still couldn't get up fast, and their legs moved forward with difficulty, and the line grew longer and longer.

Tokugawa Hidetada was secretly anxious, and sent his personal guards to the back of the team to drive them away, and even killed some soldiers who were seriously left behind, and the speed of the team was considered to be faster.

Under coercion and temptation, the Fuso soldiers continued to cheer up and ran south, and after twenty miles, the team slowed down again.

When Tokugawa Hidetada looked up, although it was on flat ground, there were dense and dim woods on both sides, and he didn't know why he felt a little uneasy looking at the woods on both sides.

"Pass the order, the whole army is on alert, and beware of the enemy's ambush!" As soon as Tokugawa Hidetada gave an order to his guards, before he could pass on, he heard a sudden gunshot from the woods on the right, and a horse general at the front of the team planted himself from his horse without saying a word.

With the sound of this gunshot, the gunfire was loud in an instant, and countless bullets shot out from the dense forests on both sides, and the Fusang army suddenly turned on their backs and panicked.

Even Tokugawa Hidetada himself was thrown off his horse by a frightened warhorse, almost broke his arm, and was hurriedly supported by a group of guards to hide behind several large carts.

The sudden attack caught the already sleepy Fusang army off guard, and there was no time to organize any effective counterattack, some people ran around Sichuan, some began to fight back indiscriminately, and some people were lying on the ground and shivering, and the situation was chaotic.

With the sound of gunfire, countless gray figures rushed out from the woods on both sides, and kept firing at the Fusang army nearby, and there were many grenades and mortar shells mixed with them, which made the Fusang army even more embarrassed, with countless casualties.

Tokugawa Hidetada looked at the soldiers who fell to the ground one by one, and shouted in desperation for the soldiers to rush forward for hand-to-hand combat.

Some brave Fuso soldiers rushed forward brandishing their katanas, but before they could reach the Ming army, they were already beaten into a sieve by a dense barrage of bullets. The Ming army specially arranged for men to be arranged in a dense array, and used three-stage shooting to block the Fusang army that wanted to pounce on them for hand-to-hand combat.

The remaining Fusang troops did not dare to rush forward. Some daimyo were also forced to be ruthless, brandishing katanas to urge the soldiers to rush forward, but they didn't expect to be shot cold one by one, which was done by snipers in the Ming army.

Snipers are a priority in all units of the Wehrmacht and the National Guard, with high salaries and status, and are used exclusively to hunt down enemy generals on the battlefield.

Although Tokugawa Hidetada was spared death, several daimyo and his guards around him were also killed by snipers, so they were even more frightened.

The Fuso army, which had lost its command, was like ants on a hot pot, and some people could not stand the pressure and rushed forward, trying to rush through the blockade. But he didn't rush far, but he was blocked by a group of Ming troops, and a burst of artillery fire and bullets quickly fell.

There are enemies on three sides, and there is only one way to run backwards.

Many Fusang soldiers rushed backwards, but they didn't run long before they encountered the Ming cavalry of the brigade again, leaving a corpse and retreating helplessly.

Although the situation on the battlefield was basically that the Ming army was pressing the Fuso army to fight, the Ming army still used artillery and bullets to continuously eat away at the courage and morale of the Fuso army, and did not rush up to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Fuso army, which made Tokugawa Hidetada, who tried to use hand-to-hand combat to move back the situation, lose the last shred of hope.

There were gunshots everywhere, and there were enemies everywhere, but Tokugawa Hidetada could only hide under the cart with his head down, and he didn't dare to raise his head for fear of being broken by the enemy's snipers.

"Whew!" A mortar shell landed near Tokugawa Hidetada, and the flying debris swept a large number of people, and even several of Tokugawa Hidetada's personal guards fell to the ground without saying a word.

When Tokugawa Hidetada was in shock, another cannonball landed nearby, and the huge shock wave made his eyes go black and he completely fainted.

When Tokugawa Hidetada woke up again, what he saw in front of him was already a Ming army officer wearing a gray military uniform and a large-brimmed hat.

"Tokugawa Hidetada, you, are now our prisoners." A burly Ming army general looked condescendingly at Tokugawa Hidetada lying on the ground, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, left a sentence, and turned away.

Only then did Tokugawa Hidetada realize that he was tied with a rope and that the battle was over.

As far as the eye could see, there were corpses everywhere, basically the corpses of their Fuso soldiers. There were also groups of Fusang soldiers with their hands tied, like cattle, escorted by Ming soldiers with guns and walking past him.

There are also some Ming soldiers who are mending knives on the corpses of those Fusang soldiers one by one.

Looking at this scene, Tokugawa Hidetada closed his eyes again, two lines of turbid tears welled up, and his heart was cold.

He knew that he was finished, and the reunification of the Tokugawa family was also finished, and even the entire Fuso was finished.

The final result was either to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, or to fall back into the chaotic Warring States Period under the manipulation of the Ming Dynasty.

Fusang's dream of becoming a powerful country like the Ming Dynasty was completely shattered.
