Chapter 177: Toyotomi and Tokugawa, Who is the World V

"The retreat of the Ming army should be due to the fact that their firearms have run out of ammunition, otherwise with the situation just now, even this formation will not be able to hold on."

Tokugawa Yoribo echoed.

Tokugawa Hidetada nodded and said: "In this way, although their firearms have an advantage in the heavy rain, they are now the battlefield of our waiting, as long as we defeat the three people in front of us, even if the firearms of the Ming army come to support again, it will be useless." ”

Several Tokugawa bigwigs have already seen the dawn of victory, and they are still thinking about how to divide Kyushu.

Really...

"Sakaiden is really brave, worthy of being the head of the four heavenly kings of my Tokugawa family..."

Tokugawa Yoshitaka boasted fiercely, because he had seen Shinano's iron carcass troops retreat under the leadership of Sakai Ieji under the leadership of Sakai Hideji, and the army of the Four Heavenly Kings began to counterattack, and nearly 100,000 troops of the twelve daimyo of the Twelve Princes who were in charge of the strategy were also dispatched, and the scene was reversed.

After hearing Tokugawa Yoshinao's words, Tokugawa Hidetada opened the Chisato Tube and looked at it, and then nodded with satisfaction: "The battle has been decided, and there will be no worries from now on...

Order, ordered Omi Daimyo to attack, and planned to respond to the Four Heavenly Kings and the Twelve Princes...

Hahaha... After all, there are a lot of captives, so it's not good to escape into the mountains..."

A number of retainers and generals began to congratulate Tokugawa Hidetada, although they lost a lot of people, but after all, they won the battle and solved their worries.

The Toyotomi army began to retreat...

At least 10,000 corpses were thrown on the battlefield before he was defeated, and in doing so, he was also distressed to death Shimazu Tadashi, most of whom were warriors of his Satsuma Domain.

The banners of the three moved in unison, and the daimyo of the shogunate army knew that according to convention, where the banner was, the main general would be there.

At this moment, those shogunate troops were chasing behind the Toyotomi army like chickens, and the number was more than 150,000.

"My father's father fought hard in the first battle of Sekigahara back then, and today, it is true that my generation won together, the battle of Kamiya River, must be left to future generations to know, hahaha..."

Tokugawa Hidetada laughed again, the opponent was defeated and retreated, the war was over, all that remained was to capture the prisoners and attack Kyushu, and the opponent's main force was gone, and what to defend the city, it was only a matter of time before they broke through their city.

.

In the mountains and forests, Sanada Yukimura looked at his own people who were retreating in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but beat faster, as long as he waited until the shogunate army entered the valley with more than 50,000 people, then he could signal the army to attack.

Coincidentally, Tokugawa Hidetada had already begun to advance in an orderly manner with the Chinese army at this moment, and it was naturally impossible for him to let Toyotomi Hideyori retreat, so what he had to do was to enter the valley mouth, and then divide his troops to chase the defeated soldiers, and he wanted to take advantage of the situation to enter the two countries of Toyotomi and Toyotomi who were attacked by the Toyotomi army, as a transit base for the army.

The battle is going well...

Two miles away from Taniguchi, the field positions that had been built were particularly conspicuous, and the defeated Toyotomi army also dispersed in an orderly manner towards both sides of the position at the same time, and behind them were the troops of the Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings and the troops of the Twelve Princes, which were also the sixteen Tokugawa generals, each of whom was a close retainer of the Tokugawa family.

"Each soldier still has ten rounds of lead bullets, and they will be gone after the fight," Lu Xiangsheng rode his horse and inspected the circle before coming to Sun Chuanting: "Boya, when the time comes, I will lead the troops to charge into battle." ”

Sun Chuanting glanced at Lu Xiangsheng: "You also forgot what Hou Ye said, after we finish this battle, no matter how we win or lose, we must retreat first, just leave people to pay attention to the final battle situation, don't forget what Hou Ye often said." ”

'If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different'...

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly remembered that it was very likely that he would have to fight with this gang of Japanese people in the future, and it would be no good to help them too much: "I know." ”

.

One of the captains of the Tokugawa army, who had already pursued to the front, immediately stopped his pace, because he clearly saw the black muzzles of the guns on the front position, and he suddenly became devastated.

"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...'

Before he could say anything, he had been shot more than a dozen times in a row, and he would definitely not survive.

At this time, Sanada Yukimura clearly saw that Tokugawa Hidetada's main camp had marched to the front, so he ordered his subordinates to pull the signal flare given by Akito in the wind and rain.

Naturally, the deflagrated fire and powder could not be extinguished by rain, and a red firework bomb suddenly rose in the dim sky.

Tokugawa Hidetada frowned and looked at the air where the mountain forest was: "What is this?" ”

Not long after, the Dingwu army, which had already started a frontal counteroffensive, also saw the fireworks in the mountain and pulled one.

The second fireworks bomb that rose brightly in the wind and rain.

No one knows what it is, but at this moment, fireworks suddenly go off in the air at the time of the big victory, which must be a bad omen.

Moreover, the pursuing troops had already rushed into the valley, at least three miles from the main camp of Tokugawa Hidetada, and under the storm the sound of muskets could not be heard at all.

"Something is happening ahead, quickly, let people find out, and report back quickly."

The herald departed and headed for the valley, but Tokugawa Hidetada always felt that something bad was happening.

"Kill..."

Suddenly, the earth-shattering shouts of killing broke out on both sides of the mountain, and Tokugawa Hidetada, who was under the banner, clearly heard the shout of 'capture Tokugawa Hidetada alive', and suddenly his soul was overwhelmed.

Sure enough, two six-patterned Qian family emblem flags rushed down from the mountains on the left and right sides under the blessing of wind and rain, and the 10,000 surprise attack troops of Sanada Yukimura and Miyoshi Masayasu killed from the mountains, and the two each led 5,000 men to kill from the mountains on the north and south sides, and went straight to Tokugawa Hidetada's main camp.

And both of them had a thousand cavalry in their ranks, and they were extremely powerful, and if they hadn't gotten their horses in their mouths, they might have been discovered by the scouts of the Tokugawa army.

"Protect Taiko-sama..."

Tokugawa Hidetada's current camp still has 40,000 troops surrounded by the perimeter, but at this moment, the surprise attack troops that suddenly came out of the mountains have seriously damaged their morale, if it weren't for the people of the three royal families, maybe Tokugawa Hidetada would have chosen to flee at this moment.

And the Sanada family crest banner was extremely angry, because Ieyasu was killed by Sanada Yukimura and retreated in a panic.

The scene in front of him is clearly that Sanada Yukimura is going to learn to repeat the Osaka Summer Battle again.

How can he succeed?

"Kill Sanada Yukimura and seal the 300,000 stone territory..."

This is incredible, and the territory of Guanlin City is only 100,000 stones.

The stimulated shogunate turned their guns to meet the incoming horses, and the battle was about to break out...

The battle in the valley was extremely fierce, and there were less than 2,000 people left in the Iron Armor Force at the moment, and the rest were all dead, Sakai Ieji was furious, if he hadn't been held back by Sakakihara Tadaji, the corpse that fell in front of him now must have his share.

Although the Dingwu army only had 10 rounds of lead bullets, it was more than 13,000 people, and the full number of 130,000 rounds of lead bullets was counted, and under the three-stage drill shooting, more than 50,000 people who rushed into the valley have now fallen to the ground, all of them are corpses.

"Your Excellency..."

Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng turned their heads in unison, only to see dozens of horses running behind them, and the leader dismounted and handed the box to Sun Chuanting's personal guards.

"Lord Sun, General Lu," the person who came arched his hand: "Lord Hou has successfully broken Edo Castle and returned victoriously, first, order the two adults to win or lose this battle, and immediately leave to return to Shifang Jinqi, and second, the box is the head of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the general of Zhengyi, and order the lord to hand it over to the Toyotomi family." ”

Although Sun Chuanting didn't understand why, now that the military order was like a mountain, he nodded: "Okay, when the fighting stops, return to the division immediately." ”

.

Under the left and right rush of 2,000 cavalry, Tokugawa Hidetada's main formation was in chaos, and he could only barely resist the impact of the cavalry, without the help of bows and arrows, it was indeed too difficult to fight the cavalry.

"Newspaper..."

The herald rushed back and knelt in front of Tokugawa Hidetada: "Lord Kaiyu Taiko, there is an ambush in the valley, the Ming army has disrupted the formation of our army, and Sakaiden is almost unstoppable." ”

Tokugawa Hidetada was about to curse when another herald came galloping, and this man was crawling with a high degree of fright.

"Newspaper... Report... Report to Lord Taiko, something happened, and the enemy army was holding a human head, which is said to be.. Yes..."

"Who is it?"

If the head is so sensitive, it naturally makes Tokugawa Yoshinao, who is next to Tokugawa Hidetada, furious, and grabbed the herald's armor: "Say it quickly..."

"It's the head of the General..."

'Smack...'

Tokugawa slapped him fiercely: "Nonsense, Your Excellency the General is far away in Edo, you actually want to believe in the tricks of the Toyotomi Army?" ”

Tokugawa Hidetada suddenly felt a little bad: "Quickly explore again... Again..."

"Newspaper..."

The former one just left, and the latter herald also crawled in with a roll: "Report... Report to Lord Taiko, defeated, our army was defeated, and the enemy army took out the head of the general..."

"Nonsense..."Tokugawa Mitsusada opened his mouth and scolded angrily...

"It's true, the little ones don't dare to lie, and the four heavenly kings all kneel in front of the battle and cry bitterly..."

Tokugawa Hidetada's whole person almost couldn't stand, and he was held up by the people behind him: "How can this be? ”

"Newspaper..."

The successive military orders made Tokugawa Hidetada a little numb.

"Kaiyu Taiko-sama, Edo envoy..."

"Let people come," Tokugawa shouted angrily.

The man who came knelt in front of Tokugawa Hidetada, covered in mud, and cried bitterly, shouting, "Taiko-sama, woe... The Ming people landed in Edo Port on a sea ship and slaughtered Oyama Castle, Naobu Ando was killed, Edo Castle was broken, the Shogun cut his stomach, and Ishikawa-sama cut off the head of the Shogun and was taken away by the Ming people..."

Everyone present was shocked...

'Poof...'

In the wind and rain, Tokugawa Hidetada spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground unconscious.

However, there is more to them than this rout...

As the head of the three imperial families, Tokugawa Yoribo immediately took over the responsibility of Tokugawa Hidetada's commander: "The order, the whole army alternately covers the retreat, and the Sanada army must be blocked..."
