The Sekigahara area is located between the valleys. After receiving the news of the shogunate retreat, Ah Hai immediately understood that Li Laiheng and Song Luofeng must have successfully attacked Edo. He ordered Pei Chengyi to command the entire army to launch a counterattack. Due to the terrain, the cavalry could not help but be restrained in the valley. Facing the camp established by Masato Boko at the foot of Taopai Mountain, the Yongning Division of the new force launched the attack first.

When Pei Chengyi was investigating the camp, he found that Boko Masatsu was posing a turtle formation. The fortification groups at the fortifications were endless and extremely deep. The trenches and fences and earthen walls could block the attack of the United States Army, but also blocked the Shogun Army's counterattack. The heavy artillery of the Shogun Army was at this time due to the difficult road caused by the autumn rain, and was stranded in the Kyoto area. This was very unfavorable to the attack fortification groups, but another attack weapon - rockets - arrived on the battlefield in large numbers.

For weapons like rockets, due to the launch success rate and uncontrollable flight trajectory, they can only be fired in front of the formation. When the two armies face each other, the rocket soldiers' array aiming and movement take a long time. They are often broken up by the opponent's artillery and flintlock rifles before they are deployed. Therefore, when the two armies fight, rockets are useless and can only be used to attack cities. The shogunate camp has lost its counterattack ability, which is no different from the city.

After the shelling, the Rockets launched a volley. As soon as the rumored national treasure appeared in front of the Japanese, it shocked many people. Hundreds of fire dragons rushed to the Japanese camp. The arson bombs and poisonous smoke bombs exploded in the camp. Then the Yongning Division attacked in a horizontal formation. The volley of the flintlock rifle beat the scared foot and ran away in a hurry. Then the bayonet charges to defeat the resistance that Masato Boko had finally organized. In less than a day and a half, Tokugawa Ietsugu returned to the rescue, all 70,000 troops who served as the defender collapsed.

More than 20,000 cavalrymen in the anti-shog army launched an attack, rushing the shogunate army out of the valley of Sekigahara and into the 10-oi plains of Japan. On the broad and flat terrain, the cavalry cut and attacked the fleeing shogunate guards and the shogunate army in the marching state.

Small-scale resistance cannot stop the trampling of the heavy cavalry's iron hooves. Once the army collapses, light cavalry holding sabers can easily harvest their lives. The shogunate army uses daimyo as a unit, and some powerful daimyos can still use rivers and other formations to prevent large formations of thousands or even tens of thousands of people. Faced with such large formations, the heavy cavalry did not rush hard at all, but summoned the comrades of the cavalry brigade and the dragon cavalry came to help. These dragon cavalry were mobile infantry, marching on horseback, dismounting the horse, fighting, a water flintlock rifle, dismounting the horse and shooting the shogunate formation. If you get the support of the flying cavalry artillery, it would be easier to break the military formation.

Among the cavalry of the United States, only heavy cavalry such as breastplate cavalry had armor, while the rest were not armored, but they could always gain the upper hand by using the advantages of horse firearms and tactics. Sanben Guns and Daming's cavalry also attacked and charged. They still remember that Tokugawa Ietsunobu's head was worth 300,000 stones. Such a fiefdom could have three kings of one country according to Japanese standards.

The speed of cavalry is incomparable to infantry, but the two infantry divisions of the army still dispatched infantry to march quickly and quickly in columns. You should know that even though the Ouwei Plain is the three major plains of Japan, it cannot be compared with those of China. The widest part of the plain is only 60 kilometers east and west. Even if the actual distance is considered, it is only 80 kilometers. The urgent marching requirement of the A-level divisions such as the Yongning Division is to march for 60 kilometers in one day and night. In the normal state of marching, it is carried forward with full loads, and a speed of 35 kilometers to 40 kilometers in one day and night. The marching speed of modern and classical troops is very different.

Even though Tokugawa Ietsuzu set out eighteen hours earlier, the cavalry infantry and baggage Teng Zhuang pulled out a marching array of dozens of miles and quickly dispersed under the impact of the cavalry. One and a half regiments of the 61st Brigade under the Yongning Division rushed all the way, arriving at Toki Castle before Tokugawa Ietsuzu's personal army, and received the help of a part of the Guards Cavalry Brigade, blocking the shogunate road to return to Edo through the inland. The entire Oriental Brigade made its last wave out of Sekihara, bypassing all battlefields, and raided Okazaki Toyota, successfully occupied Okazaki, cutting off the shogunate road to Edo through the coastal road. It was not until a day later that the vanguard of the shogunate arrived here and was directly defeated by the Dragoon regiment.

On the land less than 1,800 square kilometers of the Nonoe Plain, more than 100,000 troops of the Shogunate Plain fought with more than 200,000 troops of the Shogunate. Both sides left the fortifications. Without friendly forces, the Shogunate had long been disbanded and could not organize troops at all, and could not exert the advantage of large troops. This rich land did not have much city support, because the Tokugawa Shogunate established the one country and one city order, and there were only a few cities on the Nonoe Plain.

After hitting a wall at Toki Castle, Tokugawa Ietsutsu led his army to flee to Mino Castle, where he gathered tens of thousands of remaining troops, but he no longer knew where to go. At this time, Ah Hai, who had already moved into Nagoya Castle built by Tokugawa Ieyasu, sent the truce peace order to Mino Castle.

Mino City.

A group of cavalry rushed into the city, Tokugawa Ietsutsu turned over from his horse, but his stiff legs could no longer support him. He lay on the ground and sent a water bag near the side. Tokugawa Ietsutsutsu took a sip and spit out, "Wine, you want strong wine!"

He knelt on the ground with a close eye, "Your Highness, there is no more wine, and there is no whole Mino."

Tokugawa Ietsunobu was stunned for a moment. Is Mino Castle gone or Mino Country gone? In fact, there was nothing left. The wine in the city had been used up as disinfectant supplies, and Mino Country had fallen into the enemy. He untied his armor. The armor that once accompanied his ancestor Tokugawa Ieyasu conquered all of Japan was already ragged. His strong upper body was wrapped in white cloth, and the dark red blood stains were shocking and dyed a large piece of it red. Tokugawa Ietsunobu lowered his head. Now Japan is like this armor. The Tokugawa shogunate also entered his body, and his death was approaching.

"Let's go, go to Honmaru." Tokugawa Ietsunobu said.

Honmaru is the same as the inside and outside the city. It is in a mess. The injured soldiers and the cold corpses are mixed together. The women are busy running around, wrapping the wounds and carrying the corpses away. However, few people survived. In this era, there are still medicines for knife and arrow injuries, but the trauma caused by lead is a death disease, especially for Japan, which is closed to the country.

The warriors were moaning, crying, and death, and the blood had dyed the pill red.

In the blood-stained hall, seven or eight samurai with disheveled hair walked in. The elderly Tadaosaki Sakai knelt in front of Tokugawa's Izukura, "Your Highness, you must not take risks again."

Since retreating into Mino, Tokugawa Izuno seemed crazy. He continued to lead cavalry to attack, at least more than a thousand, or at least two or three hundred, clashing everywhere and killing the enemy. Only a few can come back alive for two or three days when attacking, come back for a short rest, wrap up the wound, and then lead the army to attack again. This is the only thing he can do, hoping to make up for some mistakes in this way.

"All things in the world, life and death are all due to destiny. As the lord of Tokugawa, I can only pray for help from God. If I am lazy and cowardly, how will my fortune stand beside me? Unfortunately, everything is impermanent, and it will decline when it is prosperous and declining. My Tokugawa family's eyes are red, but there is no tears. He sighed for a long time and said, "Maybe this is where I return to heaven."

"Why do you need to make such a statement from your highness? You are trusted by tens of millions of Japanese people, how can you give up easily!" Tadao Sakai hugged Tokugawa Izuno's thigh.

The warrior on the side whispered, "Your Highness, I have something to say."

"It's time, what else can I say? Let me hear any bad news." Tokugawa Izunobu sat cross-legged on the ground.

Nabushido, "Your Highness, the Chinese side sent an envoy to come, saying it was a truce, but it was detained by Your Highness Tadakami."

"Kunan, you dare to betray me!" Abe Tadaki roared.

The samurai was originally a subordinate of Tadao Abe. He said, "The warrior is loyal first. His Highness Tadao conceals and does not report it. He is disloyal to the general. How can he sit and watch? However, if he exposes the Lord, he is also disloyal to His Highness Tadao."

Before he finished speaking, the warrior named Chun'an had already drawn his sword and stabbed it into his lower abdomen, cut it across, and lay down on the ground, losing his breath.

Tokugawa Izunobu hugged Harunan and finally started crying. Tadao Sakai shouted, "Abe Tadaki, do you want to rebel because of your own selfishness?"

Most of the Abe family's army was damaged in the Battle of Sekigahara. His three sons and two younger brothers died on the battlefield. Abe Tadaki and the anti-straitors were irreconcilable. Tadaki Abe waved his hand and said, "Bring that envoy."

"Your Highness, Tadao Aki is wrong!" Tadao Abe sat cross-legged on the ground, pulled out his sword, but was held by Tokugawa Izuru with bare hands. Tokugawa Izuru's eyes were red, and he said, "Your Highness Tadao Aki, retreated to this point. Everyone in the shogunate should die, but if someone wants to cut off the stomach for this, it is me, not you. Japan has lost such heroes as Harunan. Can you still lose you again?"

When Goto Kogoro walked into the hall, he saw the scene of the master and servant hugging each other. He was an envoy sent by Ah Hai. His face was covered in blood and his body was covered in bruises. He suffered a lot at Abe Tadaki's place, but at this moment, his waist was straight and he was not afraid at all.

"Please sit down. I didn't expect to see you again. I didn't ask for your name last time. What do you call me?" Tokugawa Ietsunobu said.

Kogoro said, "I'm going to Goto Kogoro."

"Who are you from His Highness Shinsei?" Tadaka Sakai asked.

"I am the adopted son of His Highness Shinsei." Kogoro said.

The senior officials of the shogunate nodded slightly. Only adopted sons had normal surnames like Goto and lower-level names like Kogoro.

Tokugawa Izunobu brought a cup of oozumi and placed it in front of Kogoro. "I'm sorry, these are the only hospitality."

"It's much better than the last time." Kogoro drank it all in one go. Last time, he used the method of inciting generals in Ogaki Castle to incite the shogunate army to rush to Seihara. That time he was tied up and kneeled. This time, he could sit against the Great General of the Conquering Yi like a man in heaven and taste a pot of mountain spring. Kogoro's heart was still in his dream.

Tokugawa Family Tsuna asked, "What are the conditions for your master? What else do you need to do except committing suicide in Tokugawa's family?"

"The president is not Tokugawa Ieyasu, nor are you from the Taige lineage. The style of the country is endless and magnificent, and his broad mind is not comparable to the ocean and sky." Kogoro said proudly.

Tokugawa Ieyasu gained the world and forced Toyotomi to commit suicide in order to replace it. Tokugawa Ieyasu originally thought that the Tokugawa Ieyasu had such a fate, but he did not expect that he would respond in this way.

Tadashi Sakai said, "What do you think about the noble master? Who else can I hope to be the leader of my martial family?"

"Looking at the whole of Japan, is there anyone who is more suitable to be a general than the Your Highness in front of you?" Kogoro smiled.

Now the Tokugawa family and the retainers couldn't believe it. It was not easy to destroy the Tokugawa family lineage and not to replace the general. This was not something that could be said to be broad-minded.

Tadaoka Sakai and Tokugawa Izuna wanted to ask again, Matsuhira Nobutsu said, "Emunited, what are the rules of your lord? Please make it clear."

Goto Kogoro said seriously, "My Lord has three conditions: one pleads guilty, two pleads for compensation, and three pleads for founding the country."

"Your Highness Matsuhei, isn't this the condition you brought back from Taipei?" Tadaosaki Sakai felt incredible. There was such conditions before the war and the same after the war. Is this war meant to subdue the shogunate?

Matsukai Nobuka said, "One time, another time, the rules are the same, but the details are turned upside down."

Tokugawa Ietsunobu said, "Where are the detailed conditions, please tell me clearly."

Goto Kogoro said, "Your Highness, Kogoro was just a piece of grass half a year ago. Now, the President of Mongolia decided that Your Highness would not abandon him and convey information to the two countries. He was extremely frightened. With Kogoro's status, how can he know the secrets? Our Lord asks the shogunate to send a full-power envoy to Nagoya to negotiate and sign the contract."

When everyone saw that Kogoro didn't look like he was lying, they thought, and he was just a fifteen-year-old boy. How could he bear the responsibility for negotiations? Matsuhira Nobutsu asked, "Do you know how your master arranged the Tokugawa lineage and the shogunate? Is everything going as usual?"

Kogoro Goto said, "Even my lord is happy, I am afraid that the nobles in the west will not want it. But I know that our lord will be happy to see Japan continue to be commanded by Tokugawa. But if the negotiations break down, this will not be the case. At that time, the flag of the inverted curtain will no longer be a big one, but the four words "repaying the great power to return the four principles."

The samurai suddenly felt the problem. Although the shogunate had failed several times, it could not change the essence of the war. This was a rebellious war between Daming and the rebellion of the foreign Daming rebellion and the wolves in the house. The shogunate was just, so even if Sekihara was defeated, with the legal rule of the Tokugawa family, it could still resist in remote areas to make trouble for the new regime. However, if the anti-shogunate army erected the banner of great power to return, then the basis for all resistance would not exist, because it was to return the power to the leader of the Japanese spiritual and religious spirit, the Emperor.

In Japan, the Emperor is in the same age as the Emperor, and only the Emperor is orthodox!
