Chapter 1026: The Final Battle (4)

"Knowing this, immediately order Nobusada Kohata to lead the Ueno Legion into battle." When the clan heard this, he immediately gave an order. If there are only 20,000 people in the opponent's formation, then if the Ueno Legion is sent into battle, the opponent's army will have nearly 18,000 people, so it should be able to resist the opponent's attack.

After listening to the mobilization of the Ueno Army, he only heard Sanada Masayuki, who was sitting in the position of the head of the main formation, say: "My lord, after sending Kohata-sama to fight, the army that can be called in the middle is less than 30,000, and at this moment, the Toyotomi family has more than 60,000 troops mobilized for it, and because the two armies have been fighting, the national collapse has lost its effect. ”

"My lord, what Sanada-sama said is reasonable, but his subordinates think that the 8,000 troops under the command of Akechi and Takenaka do not need to fall to the middle road, but should let them attack the Tokugawa army on the south road, with the elite of the army, there is no need to prepare an army for the time being, so the most important thing to do at this time is to defeat the enemy's north and south roads first, once the enemy troops on both sides are defeated, they can form an encirclement of the Toyotomi army, so it is not difficult to win the victory, and please ask the lord to decide."

In contrast to Sanada Masayuki's cautiousness, Honda Masanobu believed that as long as the enemy army was defeated, there was no need for defense, so he immediately advised the lord after the other party made a suggestion.

And Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was also a military advisor, had the same idea as Honda Masanobu, if the 8,000 army was transferred to the middle lane, it would not play a decisive role, so in contrast, he was more in favor of destroying the Tokugawa army, which was closer to Takenaka and Akechi Lord.

"My lord, my subordinates think that what Lord Honda said is reasonable, and I ask my lord to decide."

"Whoever comes, immediately send an order to Akechi Mitsuhide and Takenaka Shigeharu that in addition to leaving the necessary military strength, the rest of the army will immediately attack the Tokugawa army at the end of the Aichi River." After hearing this, the clan sect didn't say much, and immediately gave an order to this army.

On the other side, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, on top of the mountain, saw that the 20,000 troops in the middle were about to arrive, as long as they arrived, they could directly wipe out the opponent's 5,000 cavalry, but there was a distance of about a mile, and the front army of the family collapsed first, which made him suddenly furious: "Bastard, it's almost, it's almost, go tell Kato Qingming to let him immediately roll with me to the main formation to apologize!" ”

"Please also ask the lord to calm his anger, the rout of the former army is not the fault of Lord Kato, especially the fact that the former army can withstand the collapse of the other party and the impact of the cavalry and still maintain the collapse, it is not easy, so please think twice."

"My lord, Lord Kato has always been conscientious, and if he is another seppuku, he will definitely be dissatisfied with the retainers, and ask the lord to take back his life." "My lord...

"Okay, okay, shut up for me, let Kato Qingming immediately rein in the rout and prepare to fight again!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi also said those words in anger just now, Kato Kiyoshi is the retainer he relies on, and he is different from Ukita, Araki and other direct ministers, that is he grew up watching, and his feelings are much deeper than other retainers, so as soon as the retainers were persuaded, he immediately changed his words.

"Lord, look, the Ueno Legion of the Takayama family has joined the battle!" As soon as Toyotomi Hideyoshi finished speaking, Ikoma Kinmasa, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield, immediately said loudly.

And when his voice fell, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the samurai present immediately looked in the direction of the battlefield, and sure enough, they saw that the 20,000 troops of the family were engaged with the opponent's blue 8,000 spears and were gaining the upper hand, and the opponent's 10,000 troops had rushed to the battlefield to join the occupation, and the original advantage also disappeared with the addition of this army.

"The order was ordered, and Asano Nagamasa, Hanabo Masayuki and others immediately led 20,000 troops into the battle, and let the 25,000 troops under Mori and others press on, ready to participate in the war at any time. This time, I will not only destroy this army, but also completely defeat the Alpine army. "Now there are less than 30,000 troops that can be mobilized in the middle of the Takayama Army, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi directly sent all the 40,000 troops of the rear army, in his opinion, with this army to participate in the war, then the number of participants on his side has reached 60,000, and the other side only has 18,000 people Obviously, it is impossible to resist the attack of 60,000 people, and after seeing it, the Takayama clan will inevitably mobilize the Kwantung Army to participate in the war, so that he will only have 1,000 banners of samurai and 3,000 ninja troops left.

And his own 60,000 army does not need to defeat the opponent's army at all, only needs to exhaust the physical strength of the 30,000 army of the high mountain army, and he can fight with the 25,000 troops of the three families such as Maori, and then defeat them in one fell swoop, and directly take the opponent's own formation, and the Toyotomi family will win this battle!

Obviously, the retainers of the Toyotomi family did not intend to persuade again this time, unlike the situation just now, now the family has an absolute advantage, and this is a good time to defeat the Takayama army in one fell swoop, and even according to the ideas of some radical retainers, at this moment even the 25,000 troops of the three Maori families should be sent out, directly after defeating the Ueno army and the blue reserve 8,000 army, while the enemy has not yet sent an army, directly attack the Takayama main formation, as long as the main formation can be attacked, then the Takayama family Ashigaru will inevitably panic, It's easier to win.

It was only when they saw that the herald samurai had already left, so they did not say it even though they thought so in their hearts, so as not to cause chaos in the army.

"Report! Host... Lord, Kinoshita... The rear army of the Toyotomi family has been dispatched, and the number of enemy troops on the front battlefield has reached nearly 60,000 at this moment, and the lord is requested to prepare early. A herald samurai ran into the formation in a panic and immediately reported loudly.

"Report! The lord, the big thing is not good, Mori, Kobayakawa, Yoshikawa and other three 25,000 troops have been pressed together with the enemy's rear, and preparations are made to attack, and they can join the battlefield at any time, and the lord is also asked to decide. ”

"Panic what! Get the hell out of here! ”

When the two of them retreated in shame, they immediately commanded from the clan: "Maeno Nagayasu, you lead the Kwantung Army to participate in the battle, and you have to block the enemy's attack for me no matter what, can you do it!" ”

"Please rest assured, as long as there are subordinates, you will not let the enemy cross the thunder pool." Maeno Nagayasu hurriedly stood up and said solemnly.

After hearing the news, although everyone present had expected it in their hearts, but after the other party's rear army was dispatched, the pressure in their hearts was really not small, not only them, even the clan itself was the same, once the 60,000 people broke through the front, the family would no longer have any possibility to resist.
