After resting at Matsushiro Castle for two days, the huge army with more than 30 family crests, colorful banners, and various armors began to march eastward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Having not experienced the bloody battle of Yokohama and the strength of the Ming army's iron cavalry, these samurai and ashigaru traveled easily and happily along the way, and they were not at all prepared for a fierce battle, and in their opinion, the combat power of their army was quite strong.

It's no wonder, after all, the smoke of the Warring States has been dissipated for a long time, and in the twenty years of the Tokugawa shogunate's control, there have been basically no major wars in the country, and the samurai have changed a generation, and Ashigaru has changed two generations, so in their opinion, the army of more than 20,000 is simply invincible, so this army is also moving forward easily.

The more sober here are the feudal lords and generals of the army such as Tokugawa Yoshinao, but they can't change the atmosphere of this army, which is due to the long-term atmosphere of peace, not anyone can change it, of course, it will be much better after a battle and a battle formation.

The army marched from the flat Shinano into the rugged Kai mountain road, where there was little flat land, many hills, and relatively narrow roads, which were not conducive to cavalry combat.

Therefore, Tokugawa Yoshinao was also very relaxed in Kai, he estimated that the arrival of Hachioji Castle through Otsuki was the biggest test, and the Ming army should be waiting for them there, and if they did not want reinforcements to arrive, that section of the position was the most likely place for the Ming army to snipe.

After seven or eight days of marching, they arrived at Kofu, a town that was once the god of martial arts Takeda Shingen, but now it is much more dilapidated, without the continuous nourishment of the Takeda family. There are a lot of people here. But the sight is ruined and poor.

The army now numbered 25,000 men. A number of small feudal clans joined the army, and this procession now seemed to Tokugawa Yoshinao more and more like a Kamiraku-style armed parade than a battle to the death against the Ming army.

For this reason, during the period of recuperation in Kofu, Tokugawa Yoshinao deliberately reorganized the troops, and he set up the 6,000 standing garrison of the Owari domain as the front army, and in the middle were the feudal troops of the large feudal domains such as the Kaga domain and the Fukui domain, and the small feudal clans and the ashigaru of the wealthy clan were sent to the rear. In this way, it will be possible to avoid a rout in front and disrupt the large array in the rear.

All of these preparations were prepared to deal with the Ming army's attack from the front, and of course this arrangement made its own sense, but it turned out to be a terrible decision, and Tokugawa Yoshinao regretted it, and it was too late to say anything.

After resting in Kofu City, 25,000 men resumed their journey and continued their march eastward.

A day later, at the beginning of the afternoon, the army passed through Shizun Mountain. A few miles ahead is the Great Zen Temple, and after ten miles of the Great Zen Temple, you will enter the mountainous area. At the moment they are still in the eastern part of the Kofu Basin.

When it was close to noon, it was time for lunch, and the ashigaru who had been tired all morning began to scatter, especially the small clan of the sheep herding in the rear and the ashigaru of the small wealthy clan were simply loose and sloppy.

To tell the truth, they have to go, and if they don't go, they don't do their best to the general, but their dozens of hundreds of people are not in a formation at all, and it doesn't help, so they have to go, but they just play soy sauce, and they know this in their hearts, so their hearts are different, and it is normal for them to be loose.

The wealthy ashigaru in the rear team suddenly felt that the earth was trembling slightly, they were extremely inexplicable, could it be an earthquake, in this island country, earthquakes are really a common thing, many people don't care too much, they know that it is safest in the wilderness outside during the earthquake.

They just have to wait for the momentum of the earthquake to pass, and it's not a big deal.

But when the earth shook more and more obviously, and the dust rose two miles behind, they finally understood that there were cavalry coming.

Who has so many cavalry, could it be that the soldiers of several major feudal clans in Kansai have arrived, and they didn't think about it at all, after all, the scouts didn't report the arrival of the people.

When the enemy arrived at a mile away, there was still no flag indicating where this cavalry was, which was too strange, you must know that the banner was mostly the characteristic of the Japanese feudal soldiers, but this cavalry had no flag at all.

Finally, someone sensed that something was wrong, and the horn of the alarm sounded rapidly, warning the people in the east that the enemy was coming, although I don't know where the enemy was, but it was definitely not my own family.

Jiaxin, Etuhun, and Bagen commanded more than 1,600 Jurchen and Mongolian cavalry, driving hundreds of war horses to the panicked and eastward Waren Ashigaru half a mile away.

It was very easy and pleasant for these soldiers to drive hundreds of war horses as they shouted and whistled, and the horses quickly approached the Japanese with their command.

Jiaxin looked at the situation of the widows running away in embarrassment, and said in his heart, it is done, this road is not easy.

They led the use of the last time to burn everywhere Yu Wei, and marched westward, so that the distant feudal and wealthy clans thought that it was the Ming army that came to burn and kill and attack again, and then they would evacuate, in fact, they were rushing westward, after entering the Kai, as long as all the Japanese people encountered on the road were killed, just to let others know their news.

They quietly infiltrated Shizun Mountain, and the reason why they were able to succeed was half because of the strategic opponent, and half because of the sparse people in winter.

They waited for six days on Shizun Mountain, and the Japanese reinforcements passed through the official road north of Shizun Mountain, and Wang Haizhou immediately ordered Jiaxin, Etuhun, and Bagen to lead their 1,000 troops to attack the tail of the Japanese army first, while Wang Haizhou led 4,000 soldiers to kill behind.

At this time, the most important thing for the Japanese people was to block the impact of the Ming cavalry and give the rear feudal soldiers a chance to form a team.

As long as the spear formation is erected, the cavalry charge will still be greatly affected, but the chaotic ownership of the rear formation of the Japanese determines that no one will sacrifice to block the gun for others.

So they began a running race, and what should they do if they found that they couldn't outrun the war horse, it was easy to do, and they scattered and fled.

As a result, Jiaxin and the others found that the war horses they drove were useless for a while, and they easily broke into the rear of the Japanese people, and there was simply no resistance.

The order given to him by Wang Haizhou was to rush into the depths of the enemy as soon as possible, not to give the enemy a chance to step into the formation, and there were 4,000 soldiers behind him to sweep away.

Jiaxin and Bagen faithfully carried out Wang Haizhou's orders, and they drove the horses and trampled the fleeing Ashigaru and continued to rush east.

With such a big movement behind, the Japanese soldiers in the middle already knew that the Ming Dynasty had a large force of cavalry coming from behind.

In the central part of the Fukui Domain, Takada Domain, Tatebayashi Domain, Taki Domain, Ueda Domain, and other feudal clans, the soldiers of the Fukui Domain, Takada Domain, and other feudal domains hurriedly began to line up, of course, they had almost no iron cannons, but Rulin's spear formation was still prepared.

But what they never expected was that the first to rush was the thousands of miscellaneous soldiers behind and the hundreds of war horses mixed in with them.

If it was the Owari Domain, he might not hesitate to immediately assassinate some of the chaotic soldiers with a spear formation and consolidate the formation, but the general of the Takada Domain, Fukui Domain and other feudal generals would never dare to deal with these two or three thousand people like this.

After all, they are either the Imperial Three Family, or they have made a big mistake, and they have the support of the Tokugawa Shogun, and the result is that their hesitation is broken.

The chaotic army and galloping horses poured into the army formation like a tide, and immediately destroyed most of the general formation, and their rout also caused panic among the other feudal soldiers, after all, no one had experienced a large battle formation, and they panicked when they looked at the chaotic scene in front of them.

The more panicked he was, the more ineffective he was in implementing the orders of the Ashigaru general, and the formation was even more scattered.

At this moment, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded, and more than a thousand fierce Jurchen Mongolian cavalry rushed to the front of the battle.

Since the rebel army was still entering the military formation, most of the military formation at this time was full of loopholes, and there was no spear defense at all, and only a small part of the spear formation remained intact.

However, the military formation against the enemy is to keep the large array intact, otherwise the strong place will not collapse, but the position of the city gate is wide open and the battle array will still collapse.

Of course, Jia Xin and the others were not stupid, they would not attack or retain the intact spear formation, and they quickly rushed through the chaotic army and plunged headlong into the enemy formation.

The poor guards of the feudal army could not even fire feather arrows, so they could only watch as the Ming people's brigade of cavalry rushed into the formation.

The cavalry led by Jiaxin, Bagen and others stepped on horses, picked guns, and slashed with knives, and they were still in a no-man's land in the large array, and they were shocked in the dense Japanese battle array, bringing blood and terror.

The Japanese feudal soldiers resisted desperately under the restraint of samurai and commanders of all ranks, and they also knew that if they collapsed, they would be pursued by the cavalry.

The speed of the more than 1,000 people in Jiaxin began to slow down, and there were also some casualties, after all, their number was still slightly less, and if the Japanese battle formation did not collapse, they might have to enter a stalemate, which was not conducive to the later battle.

At this moment, the deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded, the dust drifted in the sky, and the five thousand black and red Ming cavalry in the banner wave rushed towards the Japanese battle array.

They whistled and shouted fearlessly to rush into battle, and came with an indomitable impact with the pride of being undefeated from Cheolsan, Gyeonggi, Seoncheon, and Denglai.

At this time, many Japanese people have understood that there is no luck, and they have no hope of winning this scuffle.

There were only more than 1,000 cavalry, they were already suffering heavy casualties, barely supporting, and now thousands of Ming cavalry rushed into battle, how to resist, immediately many so-called smart people immediately gave up resistance, turned around and fled, hoping that other Ashigaru who were still resisting would buy time for their escape.

However, there are not too many smart people in this world, seeing that many feudal soldiers began to flee, the large array of feudal soldiers who were originally mixed together and did not belong to each other immediately collapsed, and no one wanted to resist the Ming cavalry for other people who did not know each other, so they fled for their lives.

The 1,000 troops under the command of Kaxin immediately arrived, and the pressure was greatly reduced, and almost all the feudal soldiers began to scatter and flee.

Some of the remaining ashigaru commanded by the stubborn samurai were immediately wiped out under the fierce charge of 4,000 soldiers, that is, they were crushed in the iron hooves. (To be continued.) )
