One Thousand One Hundred Ninety-Nine Official War Begins (Part I)

Yukinaga Asano has decided to force this war to start.

On the one hand, he was resentful of Ishida Mitsunari, he was very angry with the alliance of Toyotomi Hideji and Ishida Mitsunari, how could he not see that Toyotomi Hideji and Ishida Mitsunari had reached an agreed relationship, which was a major defeat for the military generals.

Asano Yukinaga also probably knew that it was his own fist that changed Toyotomi Shuji's mind, so he had to carry his own pot in this regard.

But on the other hand, he can't tolerate Ishida Mitsunari to continue to be arrogant, this arrogant bastard who has no one in his eyes, actually has to take responsibility for the war with the people who have already died, has no mercy, and single-mindedly suppresses them and forcibly seizes benefits, and is not a person to work with at all.

The civil official faction and the military generals faction have a long history of grievances, and if Ishida Mitsunari is allowed to negotiate this time, how will their military generals faction gain a foothold?

As for the Qin army, since it was already gone, it was ignored by him, anyway, he thought that the Qin State urgently needed to recuperate after a battle with a 160,000-strong army, and it was impossible to start another war again in a short time, and any speculation to break away from this major premise was false and did not exist.

So he didn't care about Qin Jun.

He cared about revenge, and defending the interests of the generals and himself.

Avenging Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and realizing his ambitions and ideals, this is something that must be accomplished no matter what, and there is absolutely no second possibility.

Therefore, the attack is necessary and unchangeable, no matter who he is facing, whether it is the famous and very strong and warlike Red Reserve team, the result is the same, he must avenge Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he must be ashamed of himself.

Besides, the Red Reserve is not invincible, the famous Takeda Red Reserve, the predecessor of the Ii Red Reserve, was ambushed and eliminated by muskets, and Asano Yukinaga arranged more than 10,000 iron gunners in the army, which was specially prepared for the Ii Red Reserve.

He will let the people of the Ii Red Reserve team experience what it was like when the Red Reserve Team was destroyed.

Naomasa Ii asked Yasumasa Kamihara to send troops to guard against Toyotomi's movements early in the morning, so he quickly got the news that Yukinaga Asano had sent troops to attack.

"Sure enough, as you expected, Asano Yukinaga's department has already set off, and the number of people is about 20,000, and it is coming for us, and it seems that the war is about to start."

Yasumasa Kamihara came to Naomasa Ii's residence.

"This shouldn't be Toyotomi Hideji's order, otherwise, Toyotomi Hideji wouldn't have failed to arrange follow-up troops."

After listening to all the information, Naomasa Ii put forward his opinion.

In this regard, Yasumasa Kamihara said that it did not matter.

"It doesn't matter if he was arranged by Toyotomi Hideji, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was killed by the lord, what is a mere Toyotomi Hideji? Jing Yijun, there are the Red Reserve Team under you and the field team under me, are you still afraid that a Asano Yuki will not be able to grow up? He misses Toyotomi Hideyoshi so much, wouldn't it be better for us to send him to see Toyotomi Hideyoshi? ”

Jing Yi Naomasa shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not worried about Asano Yukinaga, I'm not worried about him at all, I'm still worried about the Qin State." ”

"On the Qin side? The Qin State has withdrawn its troops and left, and it will not come again, what are you worried about? Jing Yijun, you are just too cautious, there are some things that you don't need to worry about so much, if the Qin State really has a plan, it shouldn't give up here, it's easier to have a base area to fight, how can you give the base land to others before the war is fought? ”

Yasumasa Kamihara said.

Naomasa Ii frowned.

"That's right, how can anyone give their base to someone else before the war is fought? Don't you think it's strange to Kamihara-kun? ”

Yasumasa Kamihara shook his head helplessly.

"Before thinking about this, Yukinaga Asano is already going to fight, so let's prepare to defeat Yukinaga Asano first!"

Hearing this, Naomasa Ii nodded, put away his thoughts, and began to think about how to deal with Yukinaga's 20,000 horses in Asano.

According to intelligence, the 20,000 horses had only a few cavalry, most of them were infantry, and a considerable number of iron gunners.

"It is estimated that it is specifically against the Akabei team, Asano Yukinaga is also a famous general under Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the beginning, and he came prepared, this battle, we may not be very easy to fight, but, the mistakes made by the Takeda Akabi team, does he think I will continue to make them?"

Naomasa Ii shook his head, as if he had announced the strategic death of Yukinaga Asano.

However, Asano Yukinaga is not conscious of this, he is still looking for suitable terrain to deal with cavalry, the infantry on the plains is not superior, but if it is on the valley road, the threat of cavalry will be instantly reduced, and the attack power and security of the iron gunner will be significantly improved.

At the beginning, the Takeda Red Reserve team was too proud, but they were ambushed and killed.

It has been a long time since the Ii Red Reserve became famous, and it deserves Asano Yukinaga's attention, so Asano Yukinaga is also working hard to find a suitable cemetery for it, and intends to bury the glorious history of the Red Reserve directly in the cemetery.

In this way, the rebirth of Toyotomi was announced.

He attaches great importance to this battle, and he really wants to fight this battle well, he personally chooses the battlefield, personally chooses the suitable place for the battle, and really finds a battlefield suitable for the grave of the Red Reserve, and then camps nearby, ready to send people to challenge tomorrow.

However, what Asano Yukinaga didn't expect was that from the afternoon of that day, he was constantly attacked by the cavalry of the Ii Red Reserve, these cavalry were very fast, and the attack was quite sharp, specifically picking the weak points on the periphery of his camp to attack from all directions.

In just half an hour, Asano Yukinaga learned that seven or eight of his small camps had been destroyed by the Red Reserve Army, and some soldiers and horses had been lost.

This made Asano very angry, and he immediately ordered all the military camps to be on guard, and all the iron gunners were in position, and they would shoot as soon as they encountered an attack by the Red Reserve.

This did make a difference, and the iron gunners who had been ordered used the fence as cover to shoot at the Red Reserve cavalry galloping outside, but the accuracy of the shooting was really a bit problematic, and a dozen shots could not kill a single cavalryman.

When the sun set and the Red Reserve retreated, Asano Yukinaga checked the battle damage and learned that he had lost almost 600 soldiers and more than a dozen small camps, which was not a small loss.

He gritted his teeth and decided to give Naomasa Ii a little color after dawn tomorrow, and then ordered the army to be on alert at once and prepare to rest after dinner.

As a result, Naomasa I's attack came again, this time it was the Red Reserve again, and it was still so sharp, and it was specially picked on Asano Kocho's department to start eating when the attack was launched, which made many soldiers hurriedly put down their jobs to resist, and they were caught off guard.

During the third attack, Asano Yukinaga personally led his troops to counterattack, this time the Toyotomi clan was more prepared, and this time it was the Tokugawa clan's infantry who came to attack, and the army retreated again and again by the iron gunners' continuous shooting, and was repulsed in less than a stick of incense.
