Chapter 1025: Loyalty

After the Ming army occupied Taopei Mountain, it began to clean up the battlefield and establish positions, and suspended the attack on Nangong Mountain.

If the Ming army does not fight, it does not mean that the war is suspended, Zhu Cihong moved the imperial camp to Taopei Mountain, and strictly ordered the left and right armies of the appeasement army to continue to attack the two flanks of Nangong Mountain.

Fighting a war, to a certain extent, is morale, even if there are millions of heroes, once the morale is broken, it means defeat.

The shogunate army's peach mountain arrow array was broken, and the armies on both wings were like deflated balls, unable to jump any longer, and let the appeasement army handle it.

The remnant sun was like blood, and on Nangong Mountain, two miles away from Taopei Mountain, the soldiers of the shogunate army were in a state of limbo, and looked at the roaring artillery fire in the distance in a daze.

Yoshizawa fled back, crouching beside a rock, the fear in his heart still not dissipating.

After a while, he took out the notebook in his arms and continued to write in his diary.

"During the day, we fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Ming army, this is the most unforgettable moment in my life, in just half a day, I seem to have become a relative of the king of Hades, and I have walked a few times in hell, I don't know, I can still see the sun tomorrow......."

In the tent of the shogunate army, Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi, who had finally escaped back, stumbled in front of Sakai Tadakatsu and cried loudly, like a bullied child.

The Ming army really tortured him, and the army of his Owari Domain was basically wiped out, and even if he didn't die, he almost ran away, and only some of his men and horses withdrew to Nangong Mountain.

Sakai Tadashi helped him up and comforted: "Your Highness Guangyi, you don't have to blame yourself, it's not that our army is incompetent, but that the Ming army is really ......."

He sighed, not knowing how to describe it.

The battle just now, Sakai Tadakatsu and the shogunate generals can see it clearly.

The shogunate army showed great tenacity, but the strength shown by the Ming army was too strong, they did not have any bells and whistles tactics, they were forceful, and the shogunate army did not have any temper at all.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, there was a report from the shogunate to visit the Malays, and the positions on the left and right flanks of the shogunate army were gradually exhausted, and they were about to collapse!

Sakai Tadakatsu's old face twitched unnaturally, and he scolded angrily: "These traitors! Sin deserves death! ”

The battle of the Ming army made these Japanese traitors who had suffered heavy losses once again boost their morale, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.

In just half a day, they broke through the two flanks of the army overnight, and the main generals of the left and right wings of the shogunate army, Tokugawa Mitsuki and Matsudaira Tsunaka, had to abandon their positions and retreat to Nangong Mountain with the remnants of the defeated army.

The defeated armies of the shogunate retreated to Nangong Mountain in the center, and at this time more than 100,000 horses were gathered on the mountain.

However, the shogunate army was panicked, and there was a large-scale flight of soldiers, and even some daimyo began to secretly plan a way back.

Sakai Tadakatsu, fearing that the night would be long and dreamy, summoned all the daimyo to the big tent early the next morning, mainly to prevent them from running away.

The big tent of the shogunate army was full of daimyo who participated in the meeting, and in addition to the dozen daimyo who died in battle and escaped, there were now more than 30 daimyo in the shogunate army, and their faces were full of anxiety at this time.

The triangular array of the shogunate army has been completely broken, and now only the Chinese army in Nangong Mountain remains, and it is still surrounded by the Ming army and the rebels.

Sakai Tadashi looked at the people with different expressions, stood up and said, "Your Highnesses, lords of the domain, it is my loyalty and incompetence that have brought the battle to such a point. ”

"In order to make up for my mistakes, I decided to stay in Nangong Mountain, fight to the death with the Ming army, and be loyal to the shogunate.

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the daimyo present became richer.

A smart person secretly sneered, this old man said a good thing, but in fact he wanted to tie up everyone, if he really wanted to break up, why did he still do so many knives and axes outside the tent?

There are also people with inflexible minds, and after listening to the words of the elder, a feeling of desperation came to their hearts.

A daimyo stood up and said with a sad face: "In that case, then my Takada Domain is gone!"

"Kamihara-kun!"

An angry shout sounded in the tent, and Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi stood up, pointed at him and shouted, "You coward! Are you still a decent Japanese? ”

Kamihara Masajin frowned and said, "Your Highness Guangyi, I, the Takata Domain, have done my best in this war!" ”

After speaking, he got out of the big tent without looking back.

"Bastard!"

Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi was furious and wanted to chase him out, but was stopped by Sakai Tadakatsu stretching out his hand: "Let him go!" ”

"The Boss of the Family......"

Sakai shook his head and motioned for him not to raise the bar.

Seeing this scene, the daimyo present had their own thoughts in their hearts, and they all quieted down for a while, and there were many daimyos who were ready to move, and they also wanted to pat their butts and leave.

At this time, an angry shout came from outside the tent: "Let go of me!" Why are you arresting me? ”

Unfortunately, the lord of the Takada domain, Kamihara Masaima, was captured and brought back to his tent.

The pro-guard samurai said: "Lord Yu, Lord Kamihara intended to take the men and horses of the Takada Domain to the enemy, and I was captured back!" ”

"How can it be!"

Sakai Tadashi angrily reprimanded: "The old man hates the Japanese traitor the most in his life, come on, drag Kamihara Masajin out and cut it down, with the right military law!" ”

Kamihara Masajin was dumbfounded, and scolded: "You fart! I took the people of my own domain back to the fiefdom, not to surrender to the enemy! ”

"Fork out!"

Sakai waved his hand, not giving him a chance to explain at all.

The daimyo present looked at this scene stunned, and the daimyo who were about to move immediately retracted their feet and stayed there honestly.

Sakai Tadashi glanced at the daimyo and said, "The old man said, whether you go or stay, listen to the convenience, I will not be embarrassed, but I can't lead troops to the enemy!" ”

A bold daimyo asked: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, how can you not be considered an enemy?" ”

Sakai Tadashi glanced at him and said, "Leaving the soldiers and horses of this domain and leaving alone is not considered to have surrendered to the enemy!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly understood in their hearts that this old thing was playing tricks, and he didn't want everyone to go at all, what he said before was all fucking bullshit!

There was a brief silence in the tent again, and finally Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi broke the situation and jumped out and said, "I, the Owari Domain, would like to stay and fight the Ming army to the death!" ”

A daimyo showed a sarcastic expression, and secretly said that your Owari Domain was almost wiped out, so what did you do to fight the Ming army to the death?

Mitsuyoshi Tokugawa added: "We Japanese will never give in, and we would rather break the jade than destroy it!" ”

Sakai Tadashi nodded silently, and secretly said that what he said was level, if there was a chance, the next shogunate elder would let the kid Mitsuyoshi ......

Driven by Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi, several daimyo of the pro-feudal clan and the daimyo of Pudai jumped out and shouted: "It is better to break the jade than to destroy it!" ”

There are also daimyo who are expressionless throughout the whole process, disapproving, these pro-feudal daimyos, either surnamed Tokugawa or surnamed Matsudaira, are all members of the Tokugawa family, and now their family is going to be cut by the Ming army, so they naturally don't want to be on standby.

And the daimyo of the outer domains don't have too deep feelings for the Tokugawa shogunate, and they are quite reluctant to work for the Tokugawa shogunate, and they have no interests, who the is messing with you?

However, in the atmosphere of the occasion in front of him, it was obvious that no one jumped out without knowing what to do, and they were all silent.

There were also a few daimyo who shouted slogans together, but they were thinking about how to escape from Nangong Mountain and return to their fiefdoms.
