As the two sides fought fiercely in the middle, Li Shaoyou, who was observing the battlefield situation behind the battle, made a decision and ordered the other feudal lords to immediately send troops to attack the shogunate army from the left and right flanks.

With the outstanding performance of the Nagato Domain and the opening up of the situation, the other men and horses were aroused and not to be outdone, launched a fierce attack on the shogunate forces on both flanks.

The left and right flanks of the shogunate army were also equipped 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 in vain, constantly filling people up, and soon the two armies were again in a fierce battle.

The entire Guanyuan area was shrouded in war, and the flags of the two armies were staggered, the swords and swords were shadowed, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the battle was very fierce.

At this point in the war, there are no tactics to speak of, and what is fighting is the combat effectiveness, organization, experience, and will to fight of the soldiers on both sides, as well as the command ability of the generals of the two armies.

However, in this regard, the two sides are equivalent to rookies pecking each other, except for Li Shaoyou, the commander of the appeasement army, who has rich experience in battle, and the rest of the feudal lords are all commanded by feeling.

The army was disorganized, moving, cooperating, changing formations, and changing formations, and there were quite a lot of loopholes in both armies, and a lot of fighters were wasted.

On Sasao Mountain, Zhu Cihong and the generals of the Ming army, who were watching the battle, looked at the battle under the mountain, shook their heads from time to time, and sighed secretly.

If the Ming army is replaced, it will definitely be able to seize these fighters and attack the enemy's loopholes with good organization and mobilization capabilities.

However, rookies never feel like they are cooking, and the two sides are very energetic, and tens of thousands of people have been working back and forth for a long time.

By 3 p.m., the appeasement army, with its tenacious fighting ability, finally broke through the first line of defense of the shogunate army, and the shogunate army retreated to the second line of defense to continue the defense.

At this time, the battlefield was full of Japanese corpses, but they still refused to give in, and they were still fighting desperately.

Li Yu couldn't help it a little, and said: "Your Majesty, the last general asks for an order to lead 10,000 horses to attack, and the last general is sure to defeat the shogunate army before dark and occupy Nangong Mountain!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Be patient, we are singing the finale, let these small roles play well first." ”

The generals of the Ming army on Sasao Mountain talked and laughed like watching a play, but Sakai Tadashi and the daimyo of the shogunate, who commanded on Nangong Mountain opposite, were very nervous.

This battle was going on around Nangong Mountain, and they could see the battle scene in front of the battle very clearly.

They are very puzzled by the combat style of the Pacification Army, these guys were beaten like dogs by the shogunate army before, why have they all become brave champions of the three armies now?

Everyone is Japanese, is it necessary to fight so fiercely?

A retainer suggested: "My lord, the situation is unfavorable to our army, do you want to send the Chinese army to support all walks of life?" ”

Hearing this, Sakai Tadashi shook his head and said, "It's not time yet. ”

He pointed to the opposite Mt. Sasao and Mt. Matsuo, and said, "The Ming army has not yet been dispatched, and they are using the rebels to consume our strength and force our Chinese soldiers and horses to dispatch!" ”

"The other three people ......"

Sakai Tadashi waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "With my Chinese army's main formation, the big formation is worry-free!" ”

He added: "The rebels are the attackers, they are supported by a moment of sharpness, and when they run out of energy, that is, when they are defeated!" ”

Sakai Tadakatsu thought to himself, the Shogunate's triangular array was twice as strong as the rebels, and if they couldn't hold it, this battle would simply not be fought!

Sure enough, the battle situation was no different from Sakai Tadakatsu's judgment, and the battle continued for another hour, and the appeasement army launched several fierce attacks again, all of which were blocked by the shogunate army and could not break through the shogunate's triangular formation.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the royal camp of Sasao Mountain was loud, and Zhu Cihong ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

The shogunate army breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the various units of the appeasement army, retreating like a tide, leaving only corpses all over the ground, covering almost the entire perimeter of Nangong Mountain.

In this battle, the casualties on both sides were heavy, with the appeasement army losing more than 8,000 casualties, more than 10,000 wounded, and more than 10 generals of various clans killed, with a total loss of 20,000 [81 Chinese Net], more than a quarter of the entire appeasement army.

If it is in a regular battle, the attrition reaches this proportion, it is almost equivalent to defeat, and it is time to pack up and go home.

The casualties on the side of the shogunate were even higher, with a direct reduction of more than 25,000 men, including two daimyo killed.

Mori was carried back, and he was shot in the left shoulder by the enemy, becoming the first senior general to be wounded in the Ming camp on the battlefield of Sekigahara.

Zhu Cihong highly praised his bravery and gave him the title of "Xiu'er".

The Maori Outline was honored and raised among the great names.

That night, Zhu Cihong held a summary meeting in the imperial camp, on the one hand, to make up for a military theory lesson for these Japanese daimyos, and on the other hand, to arrange tomorrow's battle plan.

"Tomorrow's battle will be fought by the Ming army, and I will be in front of the battle!"

Zhu Cihong's voice was in the big tent

After hearing this, the big names were stunned at first, and then ecstatic, Ming Dad was finally going to make a move!

For most of the past half a month, the Battle of Sekigahara has been fought by the major names of the Ming Dynasty, and their performance is very hard, and it can be seen from today's battle that they are fighting with all their might, and it can even be described as tragic.

Although the appeasement army did not break through the large array of the shogunate army, it also made some progress, greatly depleting the living strength of the shogunate army and hitting their morale.

This is the result that Zhu Cihong wants, these feudal lords who have reduced their Ming Dynasty want to follow Da Ming in the future, how can they do it without bleeding!

The strategic goal has been achieved, and it is time for the Ming army to come out and clean up the overall situation, otherwise it will be a big trouble when the sharp spirit accumulated by the appeasement army is exhausted and the morale is greatly reduced.

The Ming army was about to go to war, which shocked the morale of the whole army.

In the eyes of all the people, the second royal division of the Tianwu Army stationed at Songwei Mountain was the first to leave the position and set up a defensive line in front of Nangong Mountain to prepare for the next day's battle.

The sudden movement of the Ming army shocked Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi of the Nangong Mountain defense line, and quickly sent someone to report to the elder Sakai Tadakatsu.

About three miles west of Nangong Mountain, there is a small hill called Moupai Mountain, which was the location of Tokugawa Ieyasu's main camp during the Battle of Sekigahara that year.

Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi, who is now stationed here, is very nervous, and he is silently praying in his heart, hoping that his grandfather's spirit in heaven can bless his grandson, hold the position, and block the attack of the Ming army......

On 28 October, the advance of the two armies arrived on the battlefield one after another.

This time, Sakai Tadashi did not dare to support the big one, and personally led the Chinese army into the war.

He knew that the decisive battle was coming, and the victory or defeat was today! The future of the Tokugawa shogunate is also today!

The future of Japan as a whole is determined by today's results!

The forwards of the two armies were more than two miles apart, and after the forwards stabilized the battle line, the vast array in the rear began to line up under the command of countless banners......
