Chapter 164: Kamiyagawa Battle III

"Hidetaka, you take 10,000 people to kill from the left front, Xiuji, you take 10,000 people to kill from the right front, you have only one task, to cover Yukimura-sama to break through the Tokugawa army's main formation."

Ukita Hideya instructed his two sons behind him, and then said to his retainers, "You and the old man will fight in the middle of the battle together, and try to disturb their formation." ”

"Yes..."

Woo...

The horn sounded in a deep voice, and the two sides on the battlefield were ready to start a decisive battle, Sanada Yukimura stepped on his horse, took the spear, and shouted: "Sanada warriors, attack with me..."

"Phew..."

The soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Tokugawa Yoribo saw that the Toyotomi army on the opposite side began to move, so he shook the fan: "Order, the whole army is famous and the main team will attack directly..."

"Hah..."

The herald ran out of the big tent, Tokugawa Yoribo stood up, let the flag book beside him tidy up the equipment, and then grabbed the sword, and strode out of the big tent, this moment is already a critical time in this battle.

A man dressed in bright yellow footwear rode a war horse to the front of the Toyotomi army under a group of banners, waved a fan in his hand, and shouted: "I am the great tomorrow and the country of the Imperial Kingdom to seal the Japanese general Toyotomi Hideyori, all the soldiers, Tokugawa Ieyasu has committed the following crimes, and has taken the house of my Toyotomi family, today is the time for revenge, you should kill the enemy with your life, and I will not be stingy with my reward..."

"Whew... Call... Call... Call... Phew.........."

After a burst of imposing preaching, Hideyori led the team to retreat to the rear, and now the battlefield has been completely handed over to Hideya and Yukimura.

Compared with the shouts of the Toyotomi army, which raised the morale of the army, the Tokugawa army came to suppress the bandits because they themselves came as an 'official army', and the other party was a traitor.

What's more, the dignified Izumo Kingdom daimyo Itakura Shigemune was actually seriously injured in the first battle, which seriously affected Tokugawa Yoribo's judgment, and even rose to the point of damage to the morale of the army.

The two armies intersected, and the sound of collision followed, and in the shadow of the sword and sword, the elderly Ukita Hideya did not have the posture of an elderly man in his fifties, but rushed more and more bravely, and led his retainers and soldiers to kill the Tokugawa army in front of him.

But after all, the Tokugawa army had the advantage in numbers, and although it was defeated by the Toyotomi army in terms of momentum, it blocked the Toyotomi army that was screaming and roaring in front of it with the tactics of crowds.

Sanada Yukimura led people to kill towards the flank, but it was Toda Tadayoshi's main team that met him, he was ordered by Tokugawa Yoribo to be in charge of the reserve of the left front flank in the previous battle, and now he forced Sanada Yukimura, who was acting in the center, Toda Tadakichi frowned, because the six-striped Qian family emblem flag was quickly coming towards his home formation.

"The flag team went up and stopped them."

Toda Tadayoshi pulled out his sword and shouted loudly, Itakura Shigemune was seriously injured by Sanada Yukimura before, although he felt that he was much more powerful than Itakura Shigemune, but he hadn't fought with anyone for so many years, so he naturally didn't dare to step forward at will.

An army of more than 1,000 retainers and samurai of the Toda family's main team rushed straight towards the Sanada army, which was galloping on their horses, but they were followed by the iron hooves of the horses.

Yukimura and Miyoshi Masaysu around him took their respective retainers and nephews, brandished the spears in their hands and stabbed those Toda troops back and forth, and the momentum was huge, forcing those Toda flag warriors to retreat again and again.

Toda Tadayoshi, who was sitting on a war horse, was suddenly furious, and if he continued like this, he would only make his military morale worse, and when the time came, he would not need Sanada Yukimura to fight in person, but only need his cavalry to rush, and his side would collapse completely.

Thinking of this, Toda Tadayoshi glanced back at the Tokugawa Yoribo Honjin, which was two army formations behind, and shouted, "Send a message to Yoribo-sama immediately, this team needs support." ”

As soon as the order was given, the 500 cavalry led by Miyoshi Masayasu slashed like a sharp sword from Toda Tadayoshi's main formation, and at absolute speed slaughtered the main team of Tokugawa Yorishige, the son of Tokugawa Yoribo, behind Toda Tadayoshi's main team.

After Sanada Yukimura killed the samurai of Hachimoto, he immediately patted his horse to keep up with Miyoshi Masayasu, who had already killed him, because at this time he only had 500 cavalry, and if he couldn't keep up, it was very likely that Miyoshi Masayasu would repeat his mistakes back then.

"Stop them..."

Toda Tadayoshi was shocked, Sanada Yukimura broke through Ieyasu's tens of thousands of samurai with less than 300 people, and killed Ieyasu's camp in front of it, so frightened that Ieyasu took the road and fled.

Recently, looking at the formation of Sanada Yukimura, it seems that he is going to do what he did back then, and directly break through the military formations of the various daimyo who surrounded the Tokugawa Yoribo main camp by force, and smash Huanglong directly.

Toda Tadayoshi is not stupid, the situation in front of him is very familiar, he participated in the first battle of Sekigahara with his father, although he was not the escort of Ieyasu at the time, but he saw this matter in his eyes.

"All the people in this team, those who dare to escape, there is no mercy for killing, listen to my orders, the whole army will press over, and you must entangle the Sanada army."

Sanada Yukimura brought a full 10,000 people, with a thousand cavalry as a sword, as a knife to tear apart the various daimyo main formation, the foot soldiers behind him followed closely, plus the front line also had an iron artillery team to cover the shooting, even Toda Tadayoshi, who had already reacted, was now entangled by the Sanada army foot soldiers who followed closely, and it was very difficult to convey his orders to be carried out, because now the entire battlefield has become a pot of porridge.

The gun in the hand of Ukita Hideya has been changed twice, and he is indeed a little tired, and the continuous rush and killing have made his body a little unbearable, but fortunately, now the two sides have been killed together, and Sanada Yukimura, who is in his sight, has also rushed into the enemy's large array with people.

"I must buy him time..."

Ukita Hideya thought to himself, and then in the shouts of his son, he realized that Tokugawa Yoribo didn't seem to focus on Sanada Yukimura, who was breaking into the formation, but made him the main target.

Also, today's Ukita Hideya is the number one enemy in the Toyotomi forces that even Sanada Yukimura can't compare, Sanada Yukimura is just a brave warrior, but when it comes to the wisdom and courage of the Warring States Period, he has to be counted as the Ukita Hideya, for this reason, when he received the order, Tokugawa Yoribo targeted the Ukita Hideya as the primary target.

Nearly 30,000 daimyo of the former army Takeda and Uesugi surrounded them, and more than 40,000 daimyos of the three daimyos of Ando, Osuka, and Matsudaira followed closely behind, and it was impossible for Ukita Hideya to break through the military formation of these five daimyo with 30,000 people in his hands.

Fortunately, he still had nearly 50,000 reserves behind him to call on, and once the reserves were called, the battle would have to be won by a great victory, otherwise it would not be able to compete with the Tokugawa Hidetada army that arrived later.

"Kill..."

The warriors on both sides were fighting fiercely, and Ukita Hideya was surprised to find that he had been surrounded by the Tokugawa Daimyo in the middle.

"It seems that the old man also enjoyed the treatment of Yukimura back then, hahaha..."

Instead of being frightened, Ukita Hideya laughed, and in this way, using himself as bait could create a bigger opportunity for Sanada Yukimura.

Seeing this, Shimazu Tadaro, the queen of Kamiyagawa, immediately ordered 10,000 people to be dispatched to support the besieged Hideya in place of Hideyori, and he himself became the commander of the rear army, and at this moment went to the high platform where Sanada Yukimura had previously stood.

This battle must not be lost.

The men and horses were noisy, the fighting was earth-shattering, and the shouts and wails of the wounded soldiers were everywhere, but this little noise was all muffled by the muskets and the soldiers who raised their swords and slashed at the opponent.

Tokugawa Yoribo saw that the banner of the Ukita Hideya's main camp was surrounded by the military formations of several daimyos, and he rejoiced at the moment, and changed his previous slump, and immediately ordered: "Order, immediately let the two teams of Honda Toshimi and Sakai Shigeiwa surround it, and be sure to kill the Ukita Hideya in the encirclement in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes..."

Tokugawa Yoribo also made a bloody investment, at this moment there are three daimyo who can be mobilized, in addition to the soldiers of his own team, there are nearly 40,000 people who can be called, the reason why only two teams of daimyo went to surround the Ukita Hideya, the main purpose is because in the direction of his left flank is enough to see the Sanada army in the army formation of his son Tokugawa Yorishige, but the soldiers belonging to his own team are 30,000, which means that Sanada Yukimura wants to use the limited cavalry to break through the defense of 30,000 people.

Tokugawa Raibo gritted his teeth and said: "The old man also thinks it's just a legend, unless he really has a pair of wings, then the old man should fail." ”

The retainer stepped forward: "My lord, it is better to transfer another team of daimyo to support." ”

Tokugawa Yoribo shook his head, because he clearly saw that the Toyotomi army still had tens of thousands of people who had not moved, and his main purpose now was to try to entangle Sanada Yukimura, who came to break through, and then kill the Ukita Hideya in front of him with superior forces, which was the ultimate goal of his entire army today.

"If you kill the Xiu family, even if you lose, it will be a great achievement."

Tokugawa Yoifang thought in his heart, and then took a deep breath: "If the overseer team goes up, if anyone dares to take a step back, there will be no mercy." ”

"Yes..."

As soon as Tokugawa Yoribo's order was given, his son Tokugawa Yorishige's team in front of him was suddenly in disarray, and before he could see what was happening, his son Tokugawa Yorishige had already mounted his horse and led the samurai of Hachimoto towards him.

"What the hell is going on?"

It turned out that after Miyoshi Masayasu and Sanada Yukimura joined forces, they immediately broke through Toda's main team and entered the main camp of Tokugawa Yorishige, but his precious eldest son was not as brave as his father's generation, and after Miyoshi Masayasu killed his retainers, he was shocked and immediately led the team to escape.

Even the main general ran away, and the soldiers of Tokugawa Yorishige's main formation turned around and retreated, making the Toda main team chasing behind Sanada Yukimura fall into the opponent's counter-encirclement, and now, there was a big disaster...
