Chapter 1025: The Final Battle (3)

As for himself, in addition to dispatching the Chinese army, there are also 30,000 troops combined by Asano Nagamasa, Konishi Yukinaga and other forces, and there are also 25,000 reserve troops of the three Maori families, as well as 10,000 troops in this formation, even if the other party sends all these two armies, it is much less than his own in terms of total military strength, and once this army is defeated, he will directly attack the main formation of the Takayama clan, so that there is no reason for it to be undefeated.

At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had already begun to think about how to humiliate Takayama Clan after he captured him, and then killed him.

"Report! The lord, Sanada-sama and his 5,000 cavalry have already entered the enemy's army, but due to the large number of enemies, they cannot penetrate the enemy's military situation, so please ask the lord to decide. ”

"Report! Lord, a total of 20,000 troops in the enemy's middle formation have been dispatched, please prepare as soon as possible! ”

"Report 。。。"

After receiving a series of news, the clan also felt the pressure, he thought that in the face of the collapse of the country, the front army of Toyotomi should collapse directly, so that the cavalry under his command could pursue and kill it, not only to defeat this army, but also to impact the enemy's middle formation with the defeated army, if it is according to what he thinks, then as long as he orders the Kwantung Army, the 30,000 troops of the Ueno Army to press, he can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and then the Toyotomi family will inevitably fall into fear, Even if there are still more than 50,000 people in the rear and reserve army, there are still a few percent of the combat strength left under the panic.

What people didn't expect was that the other party did not collapse under the successive shots of the collapse of the country, which suddenly made all the plans fail.

Now I heard that the cavalry has fallen into the enemy's army, if you wait for the enemy to arrive, then this cavalry team will definitely be completely wiped out, once the army of the family is defeated first, plus this is a backwater battle, the army under his command will inevitably panic, and it will be himself who will lose at that time.

So after hearing such a battle report, the clan clan hesitated for a moment and said, "Order, order Katsusuke Tanaka to lead the army to attack!" And tell him that he must crush the enemy's front army in one fell swoop before the enemy arrives in the middle of the line! ”

Don't look at the Kinoshita family's mid-formation has already taken the lead, but in terms of distance, the Takayama family has a lot of advantages. The Toyotomi family is three miles away from the battlefield, and the main family is less than a few hundred meters, such a distance difference, although only 8,000 spears under the command of Katsusuke Tanaka are sent to take the light, but if nothing else, it should be able to defeat this Toyotomi family's front army, which has no formation at all.

And the clan doesn't want to send more troops, but he can't do this, Ashigaru is a human being, not a machine, such a high-intensity battle, it won't take long to feel tired, if a large number of troops are pressed at this moment, then what to do next, the Toyotomi family after dispatching 20,000 troops in the middle of the formation, but there are still rear formations, more than 60,000 troops and this formation, but he is only in his early 30,000s, once the army is exhausted, he will have no more soldiers to send.

So after thinking about it for a while, he finally sent the more elite Tanaka Katsusuke to fight, although this army was a little smaller, but it was much earlier than the Kwantung Army and the Ueno Army, and he had been fighting in the north and south for many years, and it was elite enough, and this army was enough to defeat the front army before the enemy arrived.

And just as the clan thought, after receiving the order, Katsusuke Tanaka immediately led his 8,000 troops to join the battle.

And because the front army of the Toyotomi family has long been out of position at this moment under the collapse of the country and the attack of the cavalry, when the 8,000 troops arrived, the Toyotomi army immediately fell into a bitter battle.

In order to improve the morale of the army under his command, the main general Kato Kiyoshi personally fought with Tanaka Katsusuke, and wanted to rely on his own bravery to win it, in order to boost morale, how can he be a master of martial arts, but Tanaka Katsusuke can serve as one of the five colors of the Takayama family Spear Ashigaru commander for many years, and how can it be a waste of fame, so when the two fight, it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, and compared to the other samurai in the two armies, whether it is Muto Shunhide or Ito Yubing, it is not Mikoda Masaharu, Katsutaka Toda and others are known as the four heavenly kings of the Toyotomi family, so although Kato Kiyoshi and Tanaka Katsusuke are evenly matched, the rest of the samurai gradually cannot escape the fate of being taken.

"The four heavenly kings of the Toyotomi family, Oto Chinobu, have been taken by my Yuasa Gosuke, haha! Yes. "After Yuasa Gosuke stabbed the Toyotomi family's leading general known as one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the chest with a shot, he was just about to pull out the sword to cut off his head, but he was pierced into the body by the samurai who rushed to the rescue, fortunately, when the other party shot out, he had found out, so he flashed to the side, which made it too important, but the arm was stabbed by the other party, otherwise he was afraid that even if he made a contribution, he would not be able to escape the fate of death.

"I am the leading general of the Toyotomi family, Mori Takaji, let me die." Seeing that he succeeded, Mori Takaji couldn't help shouting, he was originally a retainer of the Rokkaku family, after the destruction of the Rokkaku, he surrendered to Oda Nobunaga, and then became a retainer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but no matter who he served, he didn't get much credit, and this battle was a battle to seize the world, if he didn't make meritorious service, then after the lord seized the world, what reward could he get, so he had been looking for an opportunity in the array, when he saw that the enemy a samurai was about to cut off the head of Lord Oto, he wanted to take advantage of his unpreparedness to ask for it, So he stabbed his spear first, and then shouted. However, he was not able to get it, which made him feel very regretful.

"Bastard, what kind of ability is a sneak attack from behind, look at the gun!" Yuasa Gosuke did not evacuate after being injured, but pulled out the spear from the already cold body of Oto Chinobu, and fought with the opponent in a place despite the pain.

In the past few decades, Mori Takaji has gained a lot of fame, and he doesn't even have a false name, and he is not the opponent of Yuasa Gosuke, even if he is injured, but after three moves, he still asks for it.

And as more and more middle- and lower-level leading samurai were taken by the Toyotomi family, and the number of enemies at this moment was not much less than them, they finally collapsed before they could wait for the middle army to enter the battle. Kato Qingming saw that the general trend had gone, and in desperation, it was worth shaking two shots, and then forcing Katsusuke Tanaka to retreat, and then retreating with the army.

"Report! The lord, Katsusuke Tanaka and Sanada Masaaki and other adults have defeated the enemy's front army, and ask the lord to decide. ”

"Report! My lord, the enemy has arrived, because the cavalry under the command of Lord Sanada Masaaki cannot play a role, so they will withdraw to the formation first, and at this moment there are only less than 8,000 troops on the battlefield, and they are already in a predicament. ”
