At the beginning of the chaos behind the military formation, Tokugawa Yoshinao knew that it was not good, I was afraid that the rear formation would not be able to withstand the pursuit of the Ming cavalry, after all, his formation was set up for the front to receive the enemy, and it was a tiger-headed formation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Who would have thought that the cavalry of the Ming army would sneakily rush in from behind, and what is the combat power of the miscellaneous soldiers behind, he knows too well, the so-called standing equipment of these small feudal clans, you might as well say that he is the caretaker of the courtyard is more accurate, and there may be two hands in a single fight, and the battle array is for power, then forget it.

Tokugawa Yoshinao immediately sent people to tell the Kaga Domain, Takada Domain, Fukui Domain, and other feudal domains in the middle road, and immediately set up a formation to defend it, saying that they could not let the Ming army continue to pursue.

His Owari domain really can't move, and no one can say how many Akito came, what if he pulls the main force back to help, and Akito attacks from the front.

Therefore, he had no choice but to let the Owari clan wait in place.

Soon the general of the Kaga Domain, who was in the middle of the battle, came with the news that more than 10,000 Ashigaru of the Takada Domain, Fukui Domain, and other domains had been defeated, and thousands of Ming cavalry troops were driving the defeated army to charge into battle.

What preparation, this is polite words, in fact, it is to say, what is it, you can't stand it, no, you run first.

Tokugawa Yoshinao is really ashamed and angry now, and more than 20,000 troops were defeated in one blow, but now there is no way, and he must quickly find a way to get rid of the pursuit of the Ming cavalry, otherwise the entire large array can make the Ming army chase from head to toe and be completely defeated.

At a glance, he saw the Dashan Temple on the gently sloping platform in front of the right side of the official road, which was a condescending and difficult to defend and difficult to attack territory.

He immediately ordered the 6,000 soldiers of the Owari Domain to go to Daizenji Temple, and it was much better to defend the temple than to face thousands of Ming cavalry in the wilderness.

Tokugawa Yoshinao gave the order, and the troops of the Owari domain immediately marched to Daizenji Temple in front of the right.

The temple was only two miles away, and the soldiers felt that they would be able to arrive soon.

But there was a sudden chaos behind him, and Tokugawa Yoshinao turned around to take a look. He was immediately stunned.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a crowd of people, and tens of thousands of soldiers of various feudal domains have discarded their flags, heads, and armor, and they are running frantically to the east.

They had to do this, and the Ming cavalry on tall horses behind them were slashing and trampling behind. The purpose is to drive away.

Under Wang Haizhou's order, the cavalry of the Broken Army did not go deep into the enemy's large formation at all, but cut and killed the stragglers in the back, creating terror, and giving all the feudal soldiers a demonstration, as long as you run fast and don't fall behind, you will be fine, if you fall behind, it is a spear and a knife to chop and kick.

Such a result. Let all the feudal soldiers run frantically to the east, as for what to stop to block the Ming army, the fool will be left behind.

In order to speed up the escape, they abandoned their swords, guns, iron guns, and guns one by one, with the purpose of speeding up.

As a result, there are thousands of these objects on the ground, and what makes people laugh is that it does have some impact on the pursuit speed of the Broken Army, after all, these things are too dense, and the war horse has never seen these objects on the ground before. will slow down unconsciously.

This is by no means to say that the combat power of the Japanese feudal soldiers is so low, on the contrary, if it is a duel in a foot formation. The Japanese ashigaru is a difficult bone to gnaw, they have iron cannons, infantry bows, guns, and the moderation of samurai at all levels, and their combat power is quite good, which can make the broken army suffer heavy losses.

But they had little experience in dealing with a large cavalry raid, and they were almost a blank slate.

Therefore, once the Iron Cavalry broke through the line. The collapse was instantaneous, as unstoppable as the water that discharged the tide.

In fact, their chaos also surprised the cavalry of the Broken Army, what is the situation, this is more than 10,000 soldiers are now scattered and fleeing in the field.

Of course, after the surprise, it was happy, and now the war was easy. You don't have to think about anything, just pursue.

The soldiers of the Owari Domain found that if they did not speed up, they would have to follow in the footsteps of the rebellious army, and they would also have to be involved in the tide of chaos.

At this time, Tokugawa was in a hurry, and he immediately ordered his soldiers to throw away everything they did not have, and immediately rushed to Daizenji Temple at full speed.

The soldiers of the Owari Domain immediately discarded all unnecessary items such as feather arrows, medicine packs, rice grain, and cooking utensils, and immediately trotted eastward, and the surging crowds of people on this official road were all heading eastward.

The broken army behind them was to control the speed of the horses to drive them, as long as they were behind, they were slashed and killed, and now two or three thousand people have been slashed and killed on the road.

Tokugawa Yoshinao and nearly a thousand cavalry entered the Daizenji Temple first, these patchwork cavalry were originally in front of the formation, once with a large force of the Ming army, Tokugawa Yoshinao did not need them to step forward with the Ming army tens of thousands of cavalry to fight, only to protect the two wings of the feudal army.

It's a pity that the Ming army suddenly attacked from behind, and these cavalry were already useless preparations, and now they have all become Tokugawa Yoshinao's guards.

Dazenji Temple covers an area of several acres, and it can be regarded as a medium-sized temple, looking at the once luxurious decoration of the interior, the Takeda family has also invested money and food to support it as much as possible.

But now they are all in tatters, after all, it was more than 40 years ago that the Takeda family was defeated and the Miao characters were extinct.

There were only about two dozen monks in the temple now, and they saw the swarming army all silent.

Tokugawa Yoshinao had always believed in Buddhism, and he read a lot of Buddhist books at Owari Hiroshu Temple, but today he doesn't care about that.

He anxiously looked at the ashigaru who still had more than half a mile to arrive, and his heart was full of thoughts, because the cavalry of the Ming people had already approached the position of two miles.

It is said that the war horse will soon catch up at this distance, so Tokugawa Yoshinao looked at the speed of the Ming cavalry behind with good eyes.

Fortunately, a large crowd of people blocked the passage of the Ming army, although the army also saw that the Owari Domain was still neat and rushed to the temple in front, but just now they were just driving the main thing, and now they want to rush out of the place where tens of thousands of people are piled up in front, but they can't advance for a while, and there are too many people.

In this way, the infantry of the Owari Domain and a part of the troops of the Kaga Domain, who were rushing to the front, finally arrived safely at Daizenji Temple.

Nearly 8,000 people crowded the compound of this monastery, but fortunately, this monastery is protected by dilapidated courtyard walls that are two feet high.

After these people rushed in, they immediately began to occupy the courtyard wall under the orders of Tokugawa Yoshinao, and this section of the broken courtyard wall had the basis to block the Ming cavalry from charging into battle.

At this time, there was a sudden cry outside, and Tokugawa Yoshinao hurriedly climbed the courtyard wall to take a look, only to see that the cavalry of the Ming people had changed their strategy, and their thousands of cavalry were divided into several large groups of feudal soldiers who broke into the temple and fled into the temple.

At this time, of course, the feudal soldiers will not sit back and wait to be killed, and now that there is no way to live, it is to fight to the death.

It's a pity that most of their armor was thrown on the way to escape, and at this time they used any weapons to fight with the Ming army.

Only some of the samurai kept the sword and the ribs, there is no mistake, the ribs are actually used in the samurai duel, they are very sharp, but the extremely thin blade and the extremely short blade determine the battle formation, they are a cup.

Even the owner of the weapon that wielded it was now weak, and he ran with all his strength for several miles, and these samurai were exhausted and could not fight at all in a short time.

The back sabers and cavalry spears of the Ming army slashed and stabbed unscrupulously in the crowd, and even the war horses could trample the Japanese feudal soldiers to death.

At this point, the first two miles immediately turned into hell, and it was a massacre.

Tokugawa Yoshina's eyes were cracked, after all, he had a lot of responsibility for this defeat, and it was the formation he determined.

But now he was watching and there was nothing he could do.

At this time, someone began to bang on the gate of the temple, and it was some soldiers from other clans who had escaped and begged to enter the temple.

However, the commander-in-chief of the Owari Domain, Masayuki Kuroda, refused to open the door, and instead ordered the soldiers of the Owari Domain to start blocking the gate with sand and gravel.

"Kuroda, why don't you let them in." Seeing this, Tokugawa Yoshinao was furious.

"Lord Bing, now the temple is already crowded, if a large number of people come in, my Owari Domain will not even have a place to rest, if you stay up for a few days, how to resist the enemy, I am afraid that I will die of sleepiness."

Kuroda Shinyuki admonished loudly.

Tokugawa Yoshinao waved his hand painfully, Kuroda was right, but he couldn't help but feel pain when he saw the tragedy in front of him.

Tokugawa walked to the main hall alone, and after entering the main hall, the main Buddha of the main hall was sitting there solemnly, but due to disrepair, the head of the Buddha statue was full of blackened soaking marks from rain, as if it was crying to the world about the tragic experience of decades.

Seeing the general enter the main hall, the abbot and several monks hurriedly stepped forward to serve.

Tokugawa poured incense reverently, and then knelt down on the dirty futon in front of Dafang Hirorai, chanting words in his mouth, and seemed extremely convinced.

At this time, there was a loud cry outside, and Tokugawa Yoshinao closed his eyes tightly and muttered that he was going to be an ostrich and dodge.

The crying outside was due to the fact that a lot of ashigaru could not enter through the gate, so they began to climb through some broken courtyard walls to enter the temple.

Outside was a bloody hell, and the Japanese soldiers wanted nothing more than to escape to the safety of the monastery and climb the walls for the sake of which they cooperated with each other.

The soldiers of the Owari clan knocked many of them down under the courtyard wall with guns and other blows, but if the soldiers outside did not want to be hacked to death outside, they had to enter the temple, so they climbed frantically, and even if they were shot down, they would start again.

Kuroda was furious when he even dragged some of the soldiers of the Owari domain down the courtyard wall, and under his orders, the soldiers of the Owari domain began to assassinate the other feudal soldiers who climbed the courtyard wall with their spears, so that the cries and howls and the shouts of forgiveness and angry curses resounded around the courtyard wall.

This small riot turned Daizenji Temple into a cannibalistic hell, and made Tokugawa Yoshinao, who was constantly chanting sutras, suffer as if he was sitting on a fire. (To be continued.) )
