Chapter 1019 The decisive battle of Guanyuan (1)

The quarrels in the shogunate camp lasted for half an hour, but the army's next action plan was still not resolved.

Daime, who was afraid of the war in the shogunate army, supported Tokugawa Tsunagi and returned to the army to regain Kofu. The pro-war faction of Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi insisted on a decisive battle in Sekihara.

Finally, Tokugawa Mitsuru, the vassal lord of the Mito family, spoke out: "My elder, this is an opportunity in my opinion!"

"oh?"

Tadaoka Sakai raised his right hand gently, signaling the deputy coach with average ability to express his opinions.

Tokugawa Mitsuru said: "The Ming army attacked the Kafu, which means that they had dispersed their troops in Sekigahara. We might as well send troops to fight to the decisive battle. As long as we defeat the enemy in Sekigahara, the Kafu change will naturally be solved!"

Tadaoka Sakai felt a little moved, thinking that what this guy said was a little reasonable.

The combat power of the rebels was shattered and not afraid. Among the enemy, only the Ming army could make the shogunate army afraid. Now that the Ming army has divided its troops, their combat power has also weakened.

However, he didn't know how many troops the Ming army used to raid the Jiafu.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle, but it is not easy to truly achieve this!

When the two armies were fighting, there was no satellite monitoring and could only rely on whistle cavalry to detect the enemy's situation. However, they could only find out the enemy's camp arrangement. It was difficult to know the specific personnel and troops.

Tadaoka Sakai sighed inwardly, if there was one who could serve as a detailed work by surrendering to Ming Dynasty, this battle would be much better...

At this time, Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi came out and said, "My elders, everyone, don't be nervous. Although the Ming army attacked the Kofu and cut off our food route, our army's food and grass could last for at least half a month. In my no-no, there was a lot of food reserves, which was enough to support one month! We must not lose our own way and take the words of the Emperor of Ming!"

After hearing this, everyone felt a little more refreshed. It was a fat vassal. At the moment, they could still produce so much food. I admire them!

Finally, Tadao Sakai stood up and spoke.

Generally, in this case, the biggest leader will always make a final decision when the meeting is almost done to show his ability.

Tadao Sakai: "This Battle of Sekihara is related to the survival of our Tokugawa Shogunate! You must not give up easily unless you have to!"

He glanced at Tokugawa Tsunagi, and then said, "Of course, the Kofu must not be rescued. In my opinion, I will send some cases to recover the Kofu first. The army is still stationed in Sekihara to fight against the enemy. After the Kofu is recovered, the troops will return and then fight the enemy again!"

"If the tribe Jiafu is recovered, the troops will continue to increase, or the withdrawal of troops will be considered again!"

Zhu Daming nodded one after another. This method is the most prudent and persistent. It is not easy to take risks and can take care of both sides. This is a good way.

Now the shogunate army has a month's food and grass, so there is no need to panic.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Tadao Sakai smiled and immediately ordered that the Tokugawa Rai Xuan and Tokugawa Tsuna, who were stationed in Nangong Shannan, would join forces, with a total of 60,000 troops to recover the Kofu.

After everyone left, the smile on Sakai Tadaokaku's face gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Although this move is good and satisfies the interests of both sides, it does harm the interests of the shogunate army!

The division of troops is weak, I am afraid that the balance in the past half month will be broken.

On October 25, the shogunate army divided its troops and Tokugawa Tsunage and Tokugawa Rai-hsuke led their troops to leave Seihara to rescue Kofu.

In order to avoid the unstable formation being raided by the Ming army, Tadaosaki Sakai drew 20,000 troops from Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi's troops to replenish the left wing's troops.

Seihara is just a little bit bigger, so the mobilization of the shogunate army can naturally not be concealed by Ryukao's night.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Cilang, who was in the Imperial Camp of Sasuo Mountain, received a report from Yang Qili.

Emperor Zhu couldn't help laughing a few times and said to the left and right: "The old thief is just like this!"

From this incident, Tadao Sakai was just a politician who was good at balancing, not a military strategist. However, he played political balance in military operations.

Xu Sheng, who was standing by, saw the emperor's intention to fight to the decisive battle and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the shogunate army has divided some troops to rescue the Kofu, but there are still nearly 200,000 troops on the battlefield of Guanyuan. If they have their full defense, we are afraid that we will not get any benefits..."

Zhu Cilang shook his head and smiled and said, "Wars are never determined by the number of troops. According to the current situation, if the shogunate army concentrates its forces to launch a decisive battle, we will find it difficult. After all, we are not a solid piece of cake. Facing such a vast shogunate army, I know that someone is planning in his heart."

What Zhu Cilang said was naturally the famous names that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. These people were no different from Wu Sangui's second-five-child, and they were all political speculators.

They can surrender to the shogunate, and it depends on which side is stronger.

Zhu Cilang continued: "That old man Sakai Tadao wanted to seize the Kafu again, but he was unwilling to give up the battlefield of Sekigahara. He actually divided his troops into 50,000 or 60,000 troops to capture the Kafu. It seemed to be comprehensive and the best of both worlds, but in fact he was looking forward to the front and worried about gains and losses, and violated a military taboo!"

"In disguise, the morale of the shogunate army is in chaos, and it is the time for us to launch an attack!"

Xu Qingshan, who was standing beside him, nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty is wise. Although we have few troops, our combat power is strong. The sudden attack on the Jiafu made our army more motivated. It gave those swaying daimyos a reassurance. One rises and the other falls, and our chances of winning are greater!"

Zhu Cixuan cast a glorious look and said to Xu Qingshan: "Go and call all the names of the names, I want to cheer them up."

"I received the order!" Xu Qingshan smiled and took the order and said withdrew.

......

After the shogunate army divided the troops, they were still arranged in a triangular formation, with 60,000 arrows, 40,000 left wing and 40,000 right wing. The main formation's troops were reduced to 50,000, and continued to defend with all their strength.

After the Ming army negotiated, Zhu Cilang ordered Li Shaoyou to lead the Pacification Army to attack the entire line, and the Maori outline still took the lead and attacked the arrows of the shogunate army.

The Ming army on both wings continued to station in the two mountains, watching the changes in the battle situation, and sending troops to support at any time.

Before going to war, Zhu Cixuan repeatedly ordered all troops to advance and not retreat. Anyone who fears swords and retreats to avoid war will be beheaded on the spot and will never forgive!

For this reason, Emperor Zhu handed over his sword to Xu Sheng in front of the generals and ordered him to lead the Imperial Guards to supervise the battle behind the formation.

This move undoubtedly made those who wanted to preserve their strength, such as the thorny back, dare not neglect the slightest bit.

In fact, during this period, the morale of the Appeasement Army was quite good. They had the support of the Ming army behind them, and they learned that the Ming army had attacked the Jiafu, and the morale of the entire army was once raised.

Especially Nagamon, Saga, and Hiroshima, who have always been incompatible with the shogunate, are even more ready to beat the shogunate in the war and make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty!
