Chapter 1021 Ming army goes to battle
As the two sides fought fiercely in the middle, Li Shaoyou, who was observing the battlefield situation behind the formation, made a quick decision and ordered the other vassal lords to send troops immediately and launch an attack on the shogunate army from the left and right wings.
As Nagato Bun performed well and opened up the situation, other troops were aroused to fight, and they were not willing to be outdone, and launched a fierce attack on the shogunate army on both wings.
The Shogunate's left and right wing defense lines were also arranged with a large number of wooden fences as the first line of defense.
The appeasement army continued to increase its troops, and the shogunate army was not weak, and it continued to rise. Soon the two armies fell into fierce battle again.
The entire Guanyuan area was shrouded in war, with flags and flags of the two armies intertwined, swords and swords, and the sound of killing was shocking, and the battle was very fierce.
When the war has reached this point, there is no tactic at all. It is the combat effectiveness, organization, experience and fighting will of the soldiers on both sides, as well as the command ability of the generals of the two armies.
However, in this regard, both sides are equivalent to rookies pecking at each other. Except for Li Shaoyou, the commander of the Appeasement Army, who has rich experience in fighting, the other names of the vassals are all based on their feelings.
The army was in chaos, moving, cooperating, changing formations, and changing formations. Both armies had quite a lot of loopholes, wasting a lot of fighter jets.
On the Saiwei Mountain, Zhu Cilang and the generals of the Ming army who were watching the battle, looked at the war at the foot of the mountain, shook their heads from time to time, and sighed secretly.
If the Ming army was replaced, they would definitely be able to seize these fighter jets and attack the loopholes of the enemy with their good organizational mobilization capabilities.
However, the rookie never felt that they were eating. Both sides were fighting very vigorously. Tens of thousands of people worked back and forth for a long time.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Appeasement Army finally broke through the first line of defense of the Shogunate Army with its tenacious combat power, and the Shogunate Army retreated to the second line of defense to continue defending.
At this time, the battlefield was full of Japanese corpses, but they still refused to give in and were still fighting desperately.
Li Yu couldn't help it and said, "Your Majesty, the last general asked for an order and led 10,000 troops to attack. The last general was sure to defeat the shogunate army and occupy Nangong Mountain before dark!"
Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Be patient, we are singing the finale, let these small characters play well first."
The Ming generals on Satoi Mountain were chatting and laughing, just like watching a play, while Tadaosaki Sakai and the daimyos of the shogunate commanded on Namung Hill opposite were very nervous.
The battle took place around Nangong Mountain, and they could see the battle scenes in front of the formation very clearly.
They were very puzzled by the combat style of the Appeasement Army. These guys were beaten like dogs by the shogunate army before, so why are they all the bravest of the three armies now?
Everyone is Japanese, is it necessary to fight so fiercely?
A retainer suggested: "Sir, the situation is not good for our army. Should we send out the central army to support all the troops?"
Upon hearing this, Tadao Sakai shook his head and said, "It's not the time yet."
He pointed to Sasuoyama and Matsuoyama opposite and said, "The Ming army has not yet been dispatched. They are using the rebels to consume our strength and force our soldiers to go out!"
"The other three teams..."
Tadaoka Sakai waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "With our central army's main formation, the formation is worry-free!"
He added: "The rebels are the attacking parties, and they rely on their momentary spirit to support them. When their spirits are exhausted, they are at a time of defeat!"
Tadaokazu Sakai thought to himself that the shogunate triangular formation had twice the strength of the rebels. If they could not defend it, they might as well stop fighting this battle!
Sure enough, the battle situation was no different from Tadaoka Sakai's judgment. The battle lasted for another hour. The appeased army launched several fierce attacks again, but were all blocked by the shogunate army and could not break through the shogunate triangular formation.
At 5 p.m., the sound of gold was heard on the Imperial Camp of Sasuowei Mountain, and Zhu Cixuan ordered the withdrawal of troops.
The shogunate army breathed a sigh of relief, and the same was true for the various units of the Pacification Army, retreating like a tide, leaving only corpses all over the ground, almost covering the entire area of Nangong Mountain.
In this battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Appeasement Army killed more than 8,000 people and injured more than 100,000 generals from each vassal died, with a total of 20,000 people reducing the number of personnel, exceeding one-quarter of the entire Appeasement Army.
If the number of people who are reduced to this ratio in a regular battle is almost the same as failure, and you should pack up and go home.
The number of casualties on the shogunate side was more than 25,000 people, and two of them were killed.
Maori outline was carried back, and he was hit by the enemy on his left shoulder, becoming the first injured senior general in the Ming army camp on the battlefield of Sekihara.
Zhu Cixuan highly praised his bravery and awarded the title of "Xiu'er".
The Maori outline is very honored and proud of all the names.
That night, Zhu Cixuan held a summary meeting in the imperial camp. On the one hand, he made up for the Japanese daimyos a military theory class, and on the other hand, he arranged tomorrow's combat plan.
"The Ming army will fight tomorrow, and I will come to the front of the battle in person!"
Zhu Cilang's voice is in the big tent
After hearing this, the big names were stunned at first, then ecstatic, and Ming Dad was finally going to take action!
For more than half a month since the Battle of Sekigahara officially started, the famous names of the Ming Dynasty have been fighting. Their performance is very hard. From today's battle, it can be seen that they are fighting with all their might, and they can even be described as tragic.
Although the appeasement army did not break through the shogunate formation, it also made certain progress, and the huge consumption of the shogunate's vitality affected their morale.
This is the result that Zhu Cilang wanted. How could these vassal lords who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty do not bleed in the future?
The strategic goal has been achieved, and the Ming army should come out and clean up the overall situation. Otherwise, the accumulated spirit of the appeasement army will be exhausted and morale will be greatly reduced, which will be a big trouble.
The Ming army was about to go to war, which shocked the morale of the entire army.
In the eyes of everyone, the Royal Second Division of the Tianwu Army stationed in Matsuo Mountain took the lead in leaving the position, set up a defense line in front of Nangong Mountain, and prepared for the next day's battle.
The sudden mobilization of the Ming army shocked Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi on the Nangongshan defense line and quickly sent someone to report to the old master Sakai Tadaokazuki.
About three miles west of Nangong Mountain, there is a small hill called Taopai Mountain. During the Sekigahara battle, this was the main battlefield of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi, who is stationed here, is very nervous and is praying silently in his heart, hoping that his grandfather's spirit in heaven can bless his grandson, defend his position, and block the Ming army's attack...
On October 28, the forefronts of two large armies arrived at the battlefield one after another.
This time, Tadao Sakai did not dare to be entrusted and personally led the central army to join the war.
He knew that the decisive battle was coming, and the outcome was today! The future of the Tokugawa shogunate is also today!
The future of the entire Japan is determined by today's results!
