We will not mention the situation of the Ashina family for the time being, and we will not describe how the subordinates of Takatomo Musato led the men and horses into the Ashina family to quell the rebellion, we only need to know that the power of the Kuroda family has entered the country of Mutsu.

We looked at the southernmost army of the Imate Tomoshi clan, and the 5,000 men of Matsui Shigetaka, whom the Imate Tomoshi met this time, and the two brothers once again formed an army of 20,000 and launched an attack on the Tokugawa family.

The reason why Kuroda Vocational High School has such an arrangement is also because of the existence of the figure Gundam Honda Tadakatsu in the Tokugawa family. There are only a few people in the whole world who can compete with Honda Tadashikatsu, and just in the Kuroda family, there is Ide Yushi who is stronger than him.

When the army of the Imate Tomoshi entered the Mikawa Province from Owari Province, Tokugawa Ieyasu could no longer be calm, and both Imate Tomoji and Matsui Shigetaka are now world-famous generals, and by the side of Imate Tomoji, there are also world-famous military advisors like Shigeharu Takenaka.

At the same time, after the merger of the two Kuroda clans, there were hundreds of samurai under their command, and this strength alone was already much higher than that of the Tokugawa family.

And at the beginning, Tokugawa Ieyasu thought that the Kuroda family would at least be fought by the head of the family, Kuroda Vocational High School, after all, he still had his own pride in this regard, and he felt that he could become Kuroda Vocational High School's opponent.

The final result was that Kuroda Vocational High School didn't take him seriously at all, and just sent his men and horses to attack him. Although he only has the land of the Three Kingdoms now, he only has more than 15,000 under his command. But anyway, it is also a number of forces in the world, why does the Kuroda family despise themselves so much, or why does Kuroda Vocational High School not take themselves seriously so much?

Because of this, Tokugawa Ieyasu was also very uncalm this time, and after he gathered the army, he immediately attacked the army of the Kuroda family, at least on the surface.

I have to say that the location of Tokugawa Ieyasu's main camp is very good, this is a plain in front of a mountain, Tokugawa Ieyasu laid out his own camp on Mt. Iya, and to the west is the only entry and exit point on the streets of Tokai.

Tokugawa Ieyasu did not gather all the men this time, he brought most of the people to Mt. Itani this time, and in the rear of Ushida Castle, there were 500 people led by Tadahiro Torii, which was considered to be the back road to defend Tokugawa Ieyasu.

In the rear, Yaseijo Castle, there is also a thousand men and horses of Matsudaira Kiyomune, and further back is Tokugawa Ieyasu's residence city of Kinasaki Castle.

Tokugawa Ieyasu showed an indomitable momentum on the surface, but in fact he had already left a way back for himself, as long as the Kuroda family won in the joint battle this time, then he would take his command as quickly as possible, quickly retreat, and at the same time do a good job of the next assembly in the Castle, and before that, there were two castles in front of him to protect the castle.

Moreover, the second of the two cities, Yasuki Castle, was personally guarded by Matsudaira Kiyomune, who was the best at defense under his command, so he was very relieved in this situation.

Tokugawa Ieyasu still prepared a lot for this joint battle, for example, he prepared an iron artillery team with a number of 200 yuan, and at the same time mobilized all the archers of the entire Tokugawa family, the number reached 800 people. These horses will all be at the forefront of the Tokugawa family, and at the same time deal with the Kuroda family's possible long-range attacks.

Even if such a team can't defeat the Kuroda family's long-range team, it can at least have a confrontation with the opponent at the same level, as long as the Kuroda family's ranged team suffers a certain amount of damage, it is impossible to cause too much damage to the Tokugawa family's team later, and Tokugawa Ieyasu originally thought of a way to offset each other's advantages on both sides.

As long as the Kuroda family's long-range attacks can be abolished, then this time the Tokugawa family may have some chances of winning, because Tokugawa Ieyasu handed over all the most elite soldiers under his command to Honda Tadakatsu to lead on his behalf, hoping to break the myth of the Kuroda family's invincibility through his martial prowess and the elite of these soldiers.

On the side of the Iteyu clan, all the hand crossbows and various scattered iron cannons that could be assembled were only about two or three hundred.

When the two sides began to fight in earnest, the Kuroda family's long-range team launched an attack in advance because of the superior range of their weapons, because their range was longer, so they were able to attack two more rounds than their opponents.

By the time Tokugawa Ieyasu's long-range team began to reload and prepare to take on the Kuroda family, nearly 100 people had already been shot on their own side.

This casualty rate is actually relatively high, but because they do uphold the spirit of the soldiers of the Three Rivers Country and have always been fearless of death, there was no rout.

As a result, when the Kuroda family fired the fourth salvo, the opponent's long-range attack also attacked.

Relatively speaking, the Kuroda family's long-range equipment is better, everyone wears a hat on their heads, and they are wearing bamboo armor, and all the outfits are no different from ordinary foot soldiers, and the equipment is also designed to be lighter.

In such a round of attack, dozens of people fell on the Tokugawa family's side, and because of the proximity, the Kuroda family's hit rate was obviously rising.

And the shooters of the Tokugawa family will not be idle, and they inflict nearly thirty casualties on the Kuroda family. This is the first time that all the forces in the whole world have engaged in a long-range attack with the Kuroda family, and there have been casualties caused to the Kuroda family.

It's just that Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't be happy for long, because the Kuroda family's long-range soldiers are not stupid, and they have long noticed that what can pose a threat to them is the 100 iron gunners in the front row, so when the Kuroda family's long-range soldiers attack, they are mainly aiming at them for monitoring.

The casualties of the other long-range soldiers were basically attacks belonging to the Kuroda family's side that hit the auxiliary car by mistake. With just four rounds of salvos, the Tokugawa family's iron artillery team has already been cleaned up by the Kuroda family.

And the remaining archers are simply difficult to inflict any substantial damage on the Kuroda family's long-range soldiers, and of course, it is not ruled out that the Kuroda family's side will have that unlucky guy who was shot directly in the cheek by the opponent.

However, when the Tokugawa family's long-distance team retreated, the Kuroda family's side also lost seventy or eighty people. Later, in the face of the attack of the Tokugawa family's foot soldiers, they were only symbolic, and after a round of shooting, they retreated.
