Chapter 598: The Humiliated Tokugawa Yorixuan

At this time, the remnants of the Kii Domain and the Owari Domain were completely encircled, with more than 4,000 soldiers of the Choshu Domain to the west and 1,000 troops of the Kashin Division to the east. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

However, it was not so easy to hold on, and the soldiers of the Choshu Domain in the west were shooting with bows and crossbows, which is good to say, the number of iron shields of the Kii Domain and the Owari Domain was quite large, and their armor was naturally not comparable to other small domains.

They defended themselves and fought back against the Choshu Domain at the same time, but they tried to fight several times, but none of the Choshu Domain's soldiers retreated, and at this time, Yamauchi Nobumasa had no desperate thoughts, and how to reduce his casualties when the overall situation was decided was important.

As for the main attack of the Kashin Thousand Corps in the west, after resting for a while, they regained some arm strength, and began to shoot at the military formation of the Kii Domain again, and the arrows broke through the formation like rain.

There are a lot of iron shields belonging to the Kii Domain, but the main thing is that the front row can cover it, and the back row of the domain soldiers still can't cover it.

The Jurchens under the command of Jiaxin shot heavy arrows inward, and the arrows that passed through the front row of soldiers rained down into the large array.

If there are a lot of arrows in the Choshu Domain, it is a minor injury, unless an important part is injured.

However, the Jurchens' heavy arrows were too fierce to pierce the armor, and although the soldiers of the Kii and Owari domains were all armored, most of the Ashigaru were bamboo armor, and their protection against heavy arrows was really limited.

Immediately, there were people in the army formation who were injured by heavy arrows and fell to the ground and rolled and wailed, and the entire large array was in a mess.

The Kii Domain's military array was in an extremely unfavorable situation, and they wanted to attack the Choshu Domain and the Kashin Thousand Corps in close combat, but both sides were dodging, just not having a chance to fight with them in close combat.

And their infantry bows had no fatal effect on all the men and horses of the armor of the Canadian Thousand Corps, and many of the soldiers under the command of the Canadian New Army continued to attack with several arrows, obviously minor injuries and no major concern.

As for the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Shidao horse, there is no major damage, at most it is irritable and jumps a few times, and it can continue to persevere.

Now that Kashin and Yamauchi Nobumasa are planning to use bows and crossbows to solve the problem, wouldn't it be brain-dead if there is any big damage at this moment.

After the time of the meal, the Jiaxin headquarters paused, and the arm strength was limited, and now the Jurchens and Mongolians who had opened and closed the strong bow dozens of times were already numb in their arms, and they could only stop to rest.

Tokugawa Yorinobu, who took a breath, immediately ordered the whole team, and now the formation has been scattered, there are casualties everywhere, and if the team is not formed, the formation will be scattered.

When Tadaji Ando reported the news that there were seven or eight hundred casualties in Kung Fu at this time, Tokugawa Yoritoku's face was like ashes.

Although most of them were wounded, and less than a third of them were killed, the wounded basically lost the ability to fight again.

At this time, it is absolutely impossible to hold on, but what about breaking through, the large force of cavalry outside is watching, where can the infantry run, and it is impossible for the two legs to run past the war horse, and it is really in a desperate situation.

After another half an hour's rest, the Jiaxinqian Corps once again surrounded and began the offensive of the rain of arrows again.

After this attack, only more than 2,000 remnants of the two feudal clans were still standing, and the others were either killed or wounded, and the feudal soldiers were already desperate and had no hope of victory.

Then, when the Kashin Thousand Brigade went down to repair, the samurai leaders of the Choshu Domain shouted loudly, telling the soldiers of the Kii Domain to surrender and not kill those who surrendered.

At this time, the soldiers of the Kii clan began to fall silent, it is better to die than to live, so they can't fight back just by being beaten, when will it be a head.

Many of the feudal soldiers were full of thoughts, but the feudal lord did not speak, and whoever dared to surrender would be held accountable by the feudal lord when he returned.

At this moment, Nobuyashi Yamauchi Pegasus approached a hundred steps and began to persuade him to surrender.

"Lord Da Nayan, your Kii Domain's soldiers are your foundation, do you see these Clansmen lost here, and if your adults die here, your heirs are all extremely young, will there be a tragedy of seizing the heir, for the sake of the Lord, for the sake of the Kii Domain, the Lord will surrender for the time being, and I will swear here that I will not harm the Lord."

Nobumasa Yamauchi vowed to guarantee the safety of Tokugawa Yorinobu, and at the same time alluded to the instability of Tokugawa Yorinobu's rear, which is true.

Tokugawa Yorinobu's children are no more than teenagers, and it's really not the time to control the Kii Domain.

In addition, these casualties are indeed the foundation of the Kii Domain, so it is a big question mark whether the casualties under the bow and crossbow will not be achieved one by one, so when and what month will the Kii Domain be able to recover.

"Your Excellency, I'll surrender later, it's not that we can't fight bravely to kill the enemy, but I can't get close at all, and my Kii Fan is just losing strength in vain, Your Excellency."

Tadaji Ando knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"Is there only one way for the Governor to surrender in humiliation," Tokugawa Yoshinobu yelled with red eyes.

Tadaji Ando was silent, but the fact that he did not retreat already said everything.

Tokugawa Yoshinobu pulled out the sword with a click, and the guards on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Tokugawa Yoshinobu's arms, joking, if Tokugawa Yoshinobu cut himself, none of them would be able to live.

What was present was the veteran Tadaji Ando, who was able to rely on his past merits and not be held accountable.

Tadaji Ando stepped forward with his knees and hugged Tokugawa Yoshinobu's thigh, and shouted loudly, "Lord Da Nayan, after this battle, my Tokugawa family is facing enemies on all sides, how can my lord abandon the Tokugawa family, my lord can't bear to see the Tokugawa family overturned." ā€

Tadashi Ando's words woke up Tokugawa Yoixuan, indeed, after this battle, the Tokugawa family experienced several defeats and suffered a great loss in strength, and the success of the anti-bone Choshu domain gave other careerists thoughts, I am afraid that Honshu and Kyushu will be in the smoke again.

And the Tokugawa Imperial Three family also have to spend the difficult times with the Edo Castle family, and settle down the world that Tokugawa Ieyasu has so hard to capture, otherwise once the country is overturned, how to meet Tokugawa Ieyasu's spirit in the sky.

Tokugawa Lai Xuan sighed helplessly, threw away the sword in his hand, and left a big drop of grievance tears in his eyes, he was really aggrieved to the point of self-determination.

Now that the feudal lord has agreed to lay down his arms, it is too late for the others to rejoice, after all, they don't have to go to death, and there is hope for them to return home.

Tadaji Ando urged the horse to the west, and shouted out the general of the Choshu Domain, Nobumasa Yamauchi, from the army.

When Tadaji Ando asked him if he would promise a thousand dollars to ensure the safety of the soldiers and lords of the Kii domain who surrendered, Nobumasa Yamauchi's heart jumped wildly, could it really be the blessing of the god Hachiman and the recapture of his homeland.

"Ando-sama, rest assured, I swear in the name of the god of Hachiman, and if I don't keep my promise, I will die with ten thousand arrows piercing my head and mutilating my head."

Yamauchi Nobumasa swore loudly, and even shouted three times to his own feudal soldiers in order to show his sincerity, so that if he repented of his oath, even his own subordinates would spit on him.

Tadaji Ando was relieved at this time, and he turned his horse's head and galloped towards his own military formation.

Tokugawa Yorinobu did not say a word from this time on, and handed it all over to Tadaji Ando.

Tadaji Ando ordered all the soldiers to lay down their weapons, and when the soldiers of the Kii domain laid down their weapons on a large scale, the soldiers of the Choshu domain on the opposite side let out a loud cheer.

From the beginning of their defeat and retreat, to the stalemate, and finally to forcing the opponent to surrender, this victory was not easy to come by.

You can imagine the change in the mood of the Choshu feudal soldiers from despair to surprise.

Yamauchi Nobumasa wiped his moist eyes, he galloped to the side, he came to Nan Yong's approach, dismounted and took two steps forward, fluttered, Yamauchi Nobu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thanking Nan Yong.

It was Nan Yong's use of the characteristics of the combat power of the Jiaxin Thousand Corps to formulate this strategy of the cavalry's main merit that allowed the Choshu Domain to defeat the opponent.

At that time, Yamauchi Nobumasa was very suspicious that the cavalry of the Broken Army could attack more than 10,000 shogunate troops, the difference between the two sides was too great, and he was deeply afraid that the 2,000 cavalry of the Broken Army could not destroy the enemy's large array, and then the Ming army could flee quickly, but the soldiers of the Choshu Domain were completely annihilated.

However, due to Nan Yong's insistence and in accordance with the strategic situation proposed by Nan Yong, he now defeated 20,000 enemy troops with more than 2,000 casualties, forcing the enemy's commander-in-chief, Tokugawa Yorinobu, to surrender. Yamauchi Nobumasa is extremely grateful to this general of the Ming army, and he is convinced in his heart, and he is worthy of being a fierce general under the command of Zhao Lie, a victorious general.

Nan Yong'an immediately received the great gift and thanks from Yamauchi Nobumasa, and he remembered that Zhao Dashuai explained to him when he left, that going to the Japanese State was to represent the Broken Army, and he was determined to maintain the majesty of the Broken Army.

Nan Yong looked around left and right for a while, and then he got off the horse and helped Yamauchi Shin to comfort him, according to Lord Zhao, to support the pro-Chinese faction of the Wa State, to concentrate on the forces that resist fiercely, and at the same time to maintain the divided state of the Wa State, this is Lord Zhao's arrangement for the future of the Wa State.

According to Nan Yong's understanding, no matter what, it is necessary to keep the Wa Kingdom divided and cannot become a complete and powerful neighbor.

Nan Yong understood that what he was doing today was the first step in the division of the Wa Kingdom, and the commander naturally had other means in the future.

At this time, the Masuda Motoke family was organizing the soldiers of the Choshu Domain to collect the armor of the Kii Domain, and the armor thrown by the soldiers of the Kii Domain in front of them was piled up into a hill, and swords, spears, mustaches, and banners were everywhere, and the corpses scattered everywhere constituted the scene after the war.

More than 200 soldiers of the Choshu domain surrounded Tokugawa Yorinobu, of course, this big Buddha could not be ignored, that is, it was a very heavy weight to negotiate with the shogunate in the future, so the dispatch of some feudal soldiers to protect it, in fact, was imprisoned.

Tokugawa Yoshitotsu blushed and saw that the soldiers of the Choshu domain had taken away all the swords and ribs of his guards, so he left one rib to him.

Tokugawa Yoshinobu walked to the opponent's military formation with the other party's feudal soldiers without saying a word. (To be continued.) )
