Chapter 163: Kamiyagawa Battle II

"It's from Sanada Yukimura..."

Itakura Shigemune stood up, threw the fan into the hands of his retainers, and then shouted angrily: "Two night attacks on my camp, I really don't take this general seriously, and I am ready to fight..."

Itakura Shigemune stepped on his horse and led his soldiers forward, and when he saw Miyoshi Masaysu with a thousand cavalry coming towards his team, he was immediately furious and murderous.

"Thief general, dare to deceive me Itakura Shigezong? Come on..."

Miyoshi Masayasu's mask was on his face, and Itakura Shigemune couldn't see who the opponent was at all, but at this moment, Miyoshi Masayasu still responded loudly to Itakura Shigemune on the high-speed running war horse in accordance with the Warring States etiquette: "Enemy generals, listen, I am a retainer of the general Sanada Yukimura under the command of the general Toyotomi Hideyori, and the general Miyoshi Masayasu is also, a thief, take your life..."

Both of them were shouting, and as soon as they fought, the spears in their hands were torn apart from their respective opponents, and Itakura Shigemune's soul was in danger, because the strength of his opponent was really amazing.

"Hah..."

Miyoshi Masaysu turned the horse's head and stabbed the gun again, Itakura Shigemune was suddenly shocked, and had to block it with a horizontal gun, but after using this method, he found that his choice was too bad.

Miyoshi Masayasu had a lot of power, and the spear stab was blocked, but the pressure on Itakura Shigemune was still very high.

"Anti-thief, why do you want to act for the tiger..."

Miyoshi Zhengkang laughed: "You and the following offenders, what kind of face dare to act recklessly in front of this general." ”

Miyoshi Masayasu collected the gun and swept the past again, and the Itakura Shigemune who fought was defeated and retreated.

Seeing this, Asai Tadashi did not dare to be sloppy at all, and immediately rode a horse to lead the team to support Itakura Shigemune, who had been unable to resist, and with the addition of Asai Tadakatsu, Itakura Shigemune suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced.

Sanada Yukimura fanned, and a team of 5,000 people beside him, led by their respective captains, rushed forward, and at that time, the soldiers under the command of the opponents Itakura Shigemune and Asai Tadakatsu immediately rushed up, and the two sides quickly strangled together.

'Bell...'

Asai Tadakatsu took the place of Itakura Shigemune to block the fatal shot from Miyoshi Masamune, and Itakura Shigemune was about to take advantage of the situation to kill Miyoshi Masasu, at this moment Miyoshi Masasu immediately pulled out the sword on his waist, and the knife swung fiercely towards Itakura Shigemune.

Crash...

Itakura Shigemune was slashed in the chest of the collarbone by Miyoshi Masayasu with a knife, the blood rushed wildly, Itakura Shigemune fell, and Asai Tadashi scolded: "How dare a thief? ”

Miyoshi Masayasu returned the knife and slashed towards Asai Tadakatsu, Asai Tadakatsu also felt that he was not Miyoshi Masayasu's opponent at all, so he quickly collected his gun and crossed the rung, and after holding Miyoshi Masayasu's fatal sword, the retainers and samurai behind him immediately came to support.

Miyoshi Masaysu didn't dare to fight, so he gave up the idea of mending the sword Itakura Shigemune, and immediately called out and shouted, asking his cavalry to raise the speed of their horses and break through the team of the two first.

With the support of 5,000 reinforcements, the cavalry of Miyoshi Masayasu's department, who were almost trapped in place, finally found an opportunity to raise the horse's speed, and the final reason was that Miyoshi Masayasu single-handedly beat Itakura Shigemune to serious injuries, which caused chaos in Itakura's team.

Miyoshi Masaka carried a spear and rushed back and forth in the military formations of the two teams, so it was not lively.

Seeing this, Tokugawa Yoribo immediately waved the fan in his hand, and according to the plan previously formulated, the two teams of Takeda and Uesugi quickly rushed towards the Itakura team, which had already begun to retreat, and their task was to support a team of men and horses.

The shouts of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, and it was not until Miyoshi Masayasu rushed out of Asai's team for the fifth time that Asai Tadakatsu could no longer withstand such an intersperse of cavalry and was completely defeated.

It was not uncommon for more than 17,000 people to suffer a major rout after more than 1,000 casualties, mainly because the opponent's cavalry had completely destroyed their own formation, and even if they resisted, it was just a mud of flesh under the hooves of the war horses.

Woo...

The sound of the horn was accompanied by the shaking of the flag, Miyoshi Masayasu restrained the war horse, this first encounter ended in their victory, the opponent's support force has arrived, and the war horse he stepped on may not be able to support it if he fights again, so Miyoshi Masayasu quickly gave the order to retreat according to the order.

The new forces, Takeda and Uesugi, crossed the defeated Itakura and Asai teams and went directly to Taniguchi's Toyotomi army.

Sanada Yukimura immediately shook the fan, and the herald beside him waved the flag, and with the sound of the order, a group of prepared iron artillery teams stepped forward one after another, ready to deal a fatal blow to the opponent rushing towards them with a sixteen-section consecutive gun.

"The Iron Artillery prepares..."

"Put..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

After the wave of fire, the withdrawn gunners immediately sorted out the chambers with the help of assistants, and then loaded gunpowder and lead bullets, ready to be refilled after the sixteenth team of muskets were fired.

Under this charge, the Takeda team at the front immediately began to turn around and flee after the casualties reached 500, and the Uesugi team immediately arranged for the iron artillery team to fire muskets with the Toyotomi army.

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

With casualties on both sides, the Uesugi team, which was swept up by the Takeda team's defeat, also chose to retreat, and the opponent's continuous musket caused their casualties to now reach more than 1,000.

The battlefield was full of wailing, and each side sent its servants to pull back the bodies of the wounded or killed vassals, and in the process, everyone tacitly did not choose to attack the other side's servants.

Because the more wounded soldiers on the battlefield, the more wailing, and if this continues, it will bring great mental distress to both sides.

Ukita Hideya nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Toyotomi Hideyori and said, "The lord has such a fierce general, it is really Amaterasu who protects my Toyotomi clan." ”

Hideyori also showed joy on his face, even if Sanada Yukimura hadn't fought in 20 years, it didn't reduce his combat command skills in the slightest.

"They are temporarily retreating, and they should choose to attack again in the afternoon, lord, we must be fully prepared." Shimazu Tadashi hurriedly reminded.

Yukimura made a simple arrangement, and then quickly walked down the high platform, and after eating some rice balls below, he went to inspect the soldiers, in the morning battle his cavalry lost more than 100 and nearly 1,000 infantry, but the opponent's casualties were estimated to be more than three times or more than theirs, and so on, this battle still has to be fought.

In the big tent, the arrival of Yukimura made Hideyori quickly pour a glass of sake: "Yukimura-sama, I toast you." ”

Yukimura hurriedly took the wine glass and drank it all, and then said: "I don't know when the Ming army will come, if the minister's prediction is right, at most tomorrow Tokugawa Hidetada's main force will arrive, and at that time, our army will no longer face the cowardice of Tokugawa Yoribo." ”

Ukita Hideya said in a deep voice: "In the first battle of Sekigahara, Hidetada got lost in the mountains with the 30,000 main army of the Tokugawa family, and this person led the troops ordinarily, he just looked down on the lord a little..."

Tokugawa Hidetada's temper is well known, except for arrogance, and he feels that his knowledge is greater than anyone else's.

"He wasn't the one who single-handedly created the Tokugawa family's prosperity, it was all the descendants of the daimyo who were close to the feudal domain," Shimazu Tadashi chimed in.

Seeing this, Sanada Yukimura put down his wine glass and said, "What arrangements does the Tomorrow Xiu family have?" ”

"You can't lose tomorrow," Xiujia said sharply, "Otherwise, Xiuzhong will never be fooled." ”

Sanada Yukimura frowned: "Tomorrow, it will be personally commanded by Lord Xiujia, and I will personally go into battle to meet Tokugawa Hidetada for a while." ”

Xiujia nodded, and then looked at Xiulai: "Tomorrow's battle is very important, the lord needs to personally sweep the battle, otherwise it will not be enough to improve the morale of the army." ”

Xiu Lai nodded, he didn't dare to intervene in the military, so he could only let a few veteran ministers who had been on the battlefield arrange for a long time: "Everything will be done according to your lordship's arrangement." ”

Woo...

The sound of a trumpet in the distance sounded again, this time it was a signal to march.

Sanada Yukimura quickly leaned over and apologized, and then immediately got on his horse and descended the mountain, he wanted to quickly return to the command position.

After visiting the seriously wounded Itakura Shigemune, Tokugawa Yoribo decided to order his fourteen daimyo to attack together and defeat Kamiyagawa's Toyotomi army with a numerical advantage.

Sanada Yukimura looked at the army that was gathering in the distance, and he didn't know why he was beating violently, it was just after noon at the moment, and the sun was even a little scorching.

Attacking under the scorching sun, the opponent doesn't care anymore.

"The musket can only resist for a while," Ukita Hideya turned his head to look at Shimazu Tadashi after looking at the landscape at the top of the mountain: "The people of Tadahiro take good care of the lord, and the old man needs to command with Yukimura." ”

Sanada Yukimura was urgently arranging the area that each team was responsible for, and Ukita Hideya rode his horse to his front army's main formation: "Yukimura-sama." ”

"What's the matter with the Xiu family?"

"The musket can only resist for a while, if you want to completely defeat Tokugawa Yoribo, you have to use all your strength today," Ukita Hideya said coldly: "After the start of the war, the old man personally led 20,000 people to kill from the right side, and went straight to the main camp of the Chinese army in Tokugawa Yoribo, and asked Yukimura-sama to help the old man on the frontal battlefield." ”

Seeing this, Sanada Yukimura immediately objected to Ukita Hideya's suggestion: "My lord's body is not as good as mine, so why don't you give me the task of attacking the Tokugawa main camp, and the front is directly commanded by the adult?" ”

When the Xiu family saw the appearance of Yukimura, he knew that he couldn't screw the other party, so he nodded helplessly: "In this way, there is Lord Laoyuki, you must be careful." ”

Sanada Yukimura nodded: "Don't worry, Lord Xiujia, just lead the army forward, I don't know when to retreat?" ”

Xiujia pondered for a moment: "If you can't break through the Tokugawa main formation, the old man will let the reserves come forward to support, and when the horn sounds, no matter where you are, you must retreat." ”

Sanada Yukimura leaned over and saluted the Hideya: "Take care, adult..."

"Take care..."
