A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The suddenly strengthened offensive caught the Zhide coalition forces by surprise. The total strength of the Zhide coalition forces was 55,000, which was far greater than the 39,000 Yamauchi troops who actually arrived on the battlefield.

The largest independent regiment in the Oda Army, the 12,000 Kitahata Cavalry of the Kitahata Shingi, were still forming formations along the mountain range on Mount Midou and did not participate in actual combat at all.

In other words, if we remove some of the Mino troops (Tenjinzan defense) commanded by Oda Nobutada and Kawajiri Hidetaka, and the defense of Oda Nobunaga's main team, they will be close to the flag base troops and horses on the platform that will be called Danshodai in the future. The Yamauchi army that began to advance against the entire army was actually at a huge military disadvantage!

In particular, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who defended the right wing of the Oroku Allied Forces and faced the left wing of the Yamauchi Army, had less than 5,000 troops in total, but was attacked by an all-out attack of almost 13,000 troops.

Chief Yamauchi was a famous general who had been fighting in the Eastern Kingdom for thirty years. He was a stubborn man and was unambiguous in fighting. They were led by Uchida, Ina, and other troops who had followed Yamauchi to fight for many years. In addition, although the Kai troops under his command were a little worse now and were not necessarily willing to work hard, the victory or defeat was not yet determined at the moment, so they still rushed forward.

Who wouldn't know how to fight when the wind is blowing?

Oda Nobunaga's iron cannon is sharp, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's large cannon can shoot, but we Kai people have even eaten a series of cannons countless times. It's a small scene! As long as there is no sign of defeat in the mountain, the Kaifei people will not float.

After the Yamauchi left wing teams strengthened their base, they finally completely suppressed the Tokugawa Army. The Yamauchi Army is not a waste like the Asakura Army. There will be internal discord before the battle. When there are still people who want to fight on the battlefield, some will protect themselves.

As soon as the Yamauchi-ryu formation's taiko drum was sounded, there were originally only seven or eight thousand soldiers. The Yamauchi commander, who had a rivalry with Tokugawa Ieyasu, took his own team as the vanguard, and cooperated with the Yamauchi banners to gain momentum, and attacked overwhelmingly.

The most outstanding player on Yamauchi's left wing is definitely Yamauchi Yoshio. The young man is very reckless, and others cannot guess his inner thoughts. But his performance on the battlefield made people give him a thumbs up. The young man rushed Okubo Tadashi's face with his gun pointed out.

The troops on the left knew that this was the eldest brother who was going to inherit the Oda family in the future, and they intended to protect him. He rushed faster, and others rushed faster. Even Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, and had witnessed big scenes like the Battle of Anegawa, was a little confused.

Isn't this Nobunaga's son? Why did you hit me so hard!

Generals such as Sakai Chuji, Ishikawa Ienari, and Naito's parents rushed forward to block the attack with almost three times the number of troops. However, Jiaxin's elite soldiers are rare in the world, even worse than the brave and durable Sanhe soldiers.

"Matsudaira Matahachiro (the main palace assistant) has been taken over by me, Yamauchi Yoshio!" As soon as the battle began, a Tokugawa general who rushed at the front was surrounded by more than ten times the Yamauchi army and died fighting.

Don’t underestimate this Matahachiro Matsudaira. This person is the lord of Fumou Castle (Matsudaira clan) of Fukada County, Mikawa Kingdom. His name is Matsudaira Ichu. In history, his family will eventually establish a descendant as the shogunate. Domain, his son Matsudaira Ietada was killed in the battle of Fushimi Castle.

Yamauchi Yoshio's banner opened for victory, and Yamauchi's chief planner shouted "Hello!"

The Tokugawa army was really short of strength and hurriedly rang the bell to ask for help from Oda Nobunaga. But before Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements arrived, the first horse defense fence of the Tokugawa Army was already crumbling.

"The Tokugawa family's general Imaizumi Neiji has been obtained!"

"Goto Sukezaemon has been taken over by my Baba Hachiemon!"

"Shitakuya's help has been requested again!"

Even if the Tokugawa samurai can fight one against two, or one against three, what can they do? The Yamauchi army is rolling over like a mountain and sea, and a small number of soldiers means a small number of soldiers. It is impossible for an army to be formed out of thin air.

"Zenshichiro Yamazaki has been acquired by me, Yoshio Yamauchi!" Yoshio Yamauchi's subordinates shouted again.

Cheers arose one after another, and the Tokugawa Army's first fence was breached in many places. Before the troops from various ministries poured into the second horse defense fence, there were still soldiers carrying rice bags and vegetation to fill the trench.

Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that his side had reached the final moment of the decisive battle. Ishikawa Boqi Mamoru, the head of Naito Yajiemon, Naito Sanzaemon Nobunari, Naito Shirozaemon Masashige, Sakurai Shonosuke Katsuji, Kawai Mata Wulang and other two thousand people rushed out from the horse guard fence. At the same time, he ordered that there was no need to obtain the enemy's heads, but only a desperate fight.

Even Tokugawa Ieyasu directly played in person. Okubo Shichiroemon Tadayo and his younger brother Jiemon Tadasa closely guarded Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tadayo who used the golden butterfly feather sword and the stone cake chamon His younger brother Tadazana was covered in blood and was unable to defeat the surrounding Yamauchi army for Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Arakawa Jintaro, Honda Jinroku, Kawai Matagoro, and Domon Echichumori were killed in battle. The entire Tokugawa Army was almost in disintegration, and the right wing of the Ori-Gon Allied Forces was about to collapse.

At this critical moment, General Oda Kata and the lord of Anjo Castle, Hiraka Fucheng Fengxiu, finally led three thousand Oda troops to join in, which was able to withstand the Yamauchi army's offensive.

At this time, the effects of bows, arrows and iron cannons were reduced to their lowest point, but the Yamauchi army still maintained its long-range advantage. Among the Anesan people who were born in Kai, there was a group of about three hundred people who threw stones.

Each of these cavers carried a small rattan basket, and behind the fierce Yamauchi army, they launched stone-throwing attacks at the Tokugawa and Oda troops. Those who were hit by stones the size of a child's fist would be injured. If they hit a vital part, they would most likely be killed instantly. He lost his life.

The muffled sound of "doo duk duk" made people's scalp numb, and the soldiers of Oda and the Tokugawa army really couldn't avoid it!

At this time, Honda Sakuzaemon Shigeji, who had been fighting on the front line of the Tokugawa Army, had been wounded seven times. His right eye was also stabbed blind by an ashigaru of the Yamauchi Army. He was covered in blood and finally collapsed!

Honda fell down again and again, and a huge gap appeared in the Tokugawa army!

"Blast, rush!" The chief planner in the mountain waved his hand.

The chief retainer Gorobe Kosugou, Tadashimoto, Hirose Gozaemon Kagefusa, and Mimura Denemon Kaguyuki, abandoned their horses, wore only light armor and took their family servants with them, and charged forward fearlessly.

With a "beep" sound, the second horse defense fence was pushed up, and the third general immediately planted the large back flag of Er Yinliang in the mountain to the edge of the ditch.

The Tokugawa soldiers fought hard for a long time. Seeing that the defense line was lost, their morale dropped. Everyone became frightened and began to retreat. The soldiers and horses of the various tribes were mixed together and could not be gathered together. Upon seeing this, Okubo Tadayo pulled Tokugawa Ieyasu's helmet, and he didn't know where a piece of cloth came from, wrapped Tokugawa Ieyasu's head and ran away.

However, Ping Shou Fanxiu, who was rushing for reinforcements, had not yet reached the front line with his entire army, and was caught in the crowd, unable to move forward or retreat. Unfortunately, he was still riding a horse at this moment.

The sound of breaking through the air came flying, and dozens of stones were thrown in an instant!
