Wanli 1592

Chapter 1197

On March 23, the second year of Longwu, 1 pioneers of Tokugawa Ieyasu's main force arrived at Iwami's defense and accepted the command of Ii Naomasa, who was appointed as the coach by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

On the same day, Asano Yukunaga, who was full of shame and meritorious deeds, once again led a vanguard force of 2 people into the Iwami country area, and re-established the camp in the place where he was defeated.

This time he was much more cautious. He scattered sentry horses, set up bright and dark sentries everywhere, and the army patrolled day and night. The army kept weapons at hand, and rushed out with weapons in case of war.

The number of night watch troops has been increased, and the defense strength has also been greatly increased. Jingyi Naomasa thought about repeating the old trick, because he felt that soldiers were not tired of deceit, but this time, after repeated spies, he learned that night raids could not continue to work. conclusion.

Asano Yukunaga was a famous general in the Warring States Period. There is no doubt about it. A person who has been in battle for a long time will only suffer once. If he suffers a second time, he deserves to die.

Since the attack is unlikely to be effective, then take the initiative to challenge. Ii Naomasa sent someone to send Yukunaga Asano a letter of challenge, inviting him to a decisive battle, but he was also ignored.

If the invitation doesn't work, then it's ironic.

It would be a good thing if Asano Yukunaga's [-] vanguards could be defeated before Tokugawa Ieyasu arrived. According to the information from the spies, the main force of the Toyotomi army
Then Naomasa Ii sent women's clothing and makeup to Asano Yukunaga, and then satirized him, saying that he lost his courage after one defeat. This is not a general, but a woman. Hurry up and change into women's clothes and escape. , he promised not to pursue.

Asano Yuki grew up to be furious, furious in the camp, and led the army out of the camp to fight at all costs.

The two sides agreed on a time for the battle, and when the time came, the two armies met on a plain.

Yukunaga Asano said that he would use an upright battle to maintain his dignity, and Naomasa Ii did not object, and also appeared with his own army to fight him face to face.

Then there is the extremely traditional head-on confrontation between the two sides. Asano Yukunaga vs. Ii Naomasa. The two sides fought for more than an hour without a winner. Ii Naomasa repeatedly sent red troops to attack the Toyotomi Army's camp, but the Toyotomi Army's position is very solid. has never been breached.

Although the red reserve team is strong, they are not many in number. Facing the [-] Toyotomi army waiting in full force, the red reserve team obviously did not go as smoothly as the previous night attack.

If the infantry is formed into an army formation and is solid enough, there is no good way for the cavalry.

Occupation is a bit stalemate.

Of course, it wasn't that Naomasa Ii couldn't break through, but that he didn't break through with all his strength. He kept the main force of the red reserve team and didn't go into battle.

He had to wait until the elites led by Kanbara Komasa raided the camp of the Toyotomi Army, and when Yukinaga Asano, who was dizzy, panicked and the Toyotomi Army was in a state of confusion, he would invest in and give them a fatal blow.

Yes, when the two armies made an appointment to fight, Kanbara Yasunaga had already led his army to take a detour to prepare to raid the Toyotomi army camp, and the purpose of this battle was to cross the Chen Cang secretly on the plank road, and once again forced Asano Yukunaga to a dead end.

And this time Asano Yukunaga didn't have such good luck. Last time he was able to escape, this time it might not be so.

Ii Naomasa has been waiting for the moment when black smoke rises in the direction of Toyotomi's camp, he has been waiting.

Finally, black smoke rose, and black smoke rose from the direction of the Toyotomi army camp. The black smoke was very thick. Ii Naomasa was overjoyed and immediately ordered the entire army to intensify the offensive.

Then he sent someone to let the army shout loudly, "Toyotomi's main formation has been broken, and Xingchang died quickly."

To exacerbate the chaos of Toyotomi's army.

However, the Tokugawa army shouted and shouted, but found that something was wrong.

This Toyotomi army did not waver and continued to fight, as if they did not see the thick black smoke coming from behind.

Naomasa Ii frowned and felt that something was wrong. When encountering such a thing, the Toyotomi army not only retreated undefeated but continued to fight. This is obviously unreasonable, but Naomasa Ii couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Could it be that this group of Toyotomi troops are holding on?
I can't manage that much anymore.

Ii Naomasa decided not to hold back any longer, and immediately ordered the main force of the three thousand red reserve troops to enter the battlefield, and began to attack the central formation of the Toyotomi Army, and directly killed Asano Yukinaga. As long as the central formation wavered, the Toyotomi Army would surely be defeated .

The three thousand red reserve troops rushed up roaringly, bringing some changes to the battle situation. The defense line of Toyotomi's army was broken through a little, but soon more infantry rushed over, holding long guns to block the red reserve team's surprise attack. Force the red reserve team to readjust the direction of attack and launch another attack.

The power of the cavalry lies in its impact. If the cavalry is forced to stop by the infantry formation, the cavalry will be in danger. The infantry on the ground has many ways to defeat the cavalry.

So cavalry had to keep their horses running and fast, or they would be targets.

The Red Army is proficient in cavalry tactics, but it does not mean that they will lose their combat effectiveness when dismounted. The Red Army is also a first-class hand-to-hand field infantry. After being stopped by the infantry and dismounted, he drew his waist knife and started hand-to-hand combat with Toyotomi's army. The two sides fought inseparably.

As time passed, the sunset came. The formation of the Toyotomi Army was as solid as a rock, the commander-in-chief never wavered, and there was no intention of retreating at all. The red reserve team launched several attacks but was stopped by the infantry of the Toyotomi Army. , which made Ii Naomasa feel a strong feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

Has Kanbara Komasa succeeded?

Is Asano Yukinaga trying to hold on?
its not right……

He began to have the idea of ​​retreating, and planned to withdraw from the battlefield first, so he began to arrange the iron gunners to line up to cover the retreat of the main battle troops. As a result, as soon as he ordered the iron gunners to line up, a shocked voice from his retainers came from beside him— —

"An accident happened in the camp!"

Ii Naomasa's heart was beating wildly, and when he looked back, his eyes were wide open.

A large amount of black smoke rose into the sky in the direction of his promise!
What's happening here?
At this moment, bursts of shouts came from Toyotomi's formation.

"The Tokugawa main camp has been broken, and Naomasa quickly surrendered!" 』

"The Tokugawa main camp has been broken, and Naomasa quickly surrendered!" 』

The voice was very loud and noisy. With such shouts, Toyotomi's army actually turned from defense to offense, while the Tokugawa army was confused in shock, and the front gradually became unable to maintain, showing signs of defeat.

Ii Naomasa was shocked, his mind went blank.

Why?How can this happen?
Why is the main camp on my side emitting black smoke?
Is this a sneak attack?
How can it be?

Only 2 pioneers of Toyotomi's army have arrived, and they are all here. Unless another army arrives, how can it be possible to send troops to attack?Don't they want so much military supplies, food and grass in their own formation? !

In the next moment, Ii Naomasa suddenly widened his eyes.

Could it be that……

He turned his head to look at Toyotomi Honjin in astonishment, and seemed to see the mocking smile on Yukinaga Asano's mouth through the space.

Want me to fall twice the same way?
Are you underestimating the words "Famous Generals of the Warring States Period"?Naomasa Ii!
Then, the sound of battle horns came from Toyotomi's main formation, and they turned from defense to offense, and Toyotomi's army attacked across the board.
