Chapter 1198 Toyotomi Hideji Decided to Play Big

The Tokugawa army was caught off guard, and was stunned by the Toyotomi army who burst into anger in an instant.

In addition, they did not get orders from the commander in time, and the soldiers began to retreat spontaneously or even run for their lives.

Even the Red Army could not stop the advance of Toyotomi's army and the retreat of Tokugawa's army. They were engulfed by the army and retreated together, so they were defeated.

By the time Naomasa Ii realized that he needed to organize a retreat, it was too late. Once the army was defeated, the hearts of the soldiers would be confused. Once the original organization was disordered, the soldiers would not be able to fight back effectively if they could not find the organization.

All he could do now was to run away.

Naomasa Ii escaped. For this kind of thing, although it is shameful, it must be done.

His master, King of Extreme Survival, Tokugawa Ieyasu repeatedly warned him——

You have to cherish your life, you have hope if you live, if you die, you will die, soldiers will die, you can recruit and train again, but if you, Naomasa Ii, die, where can I find another you?

So it is necessary to retreat and escape. Naomasa Ii also knows that Tokugawa Ieyasu will punish him, but he will not kill him.

He can live.

He was just confused and didn't know why he lost.

I don't know that the surprise attack on Toyotomi's main camp was successful, but it did not shake the combat effectiveness of Toyotomi's army. Instead, his main camp was attacked.

What does Komasa Kanbara do?what happened?

Ii Naomasa couldn't get the answer, but perhaps Ishida Mitsunari, who is now leading the army to plunder in the Tokugawa barracks, can give him a perfect explanation.

Because all of this was carefully designed by Ishida Mitsunari.

From the arrival of the vanguard to the arrival of Asano Yukinaga who couldn't bear the insult and sent troops to the lag of Toyotomi's main force to the black smoke at the position of the formation, it was all arranged by Ishida Mitsunari. The so-called was nothing more than trying to eat Naomasa Ii. Seize Ishimi before the main force arrives.

The previous defeat brought a big blow to Toyotomi's army. In order to keep the main force's decisive battle unaffected, Toyotomi Hideji strongly asked Ishida Mitsunari, Asano Yukunaga and others to come up with a battle that must be fought. The battle won.

After winning this battle, it brings much-needed morale to the army.

He needs morale.

So Toyotomi Hideji decided to play a big one.

Under tremendous pressure, Ishida Mitsunari and Asano Yukunaga also decided to temporarily abandon their previous suspicions and cooperate together. The two sides, with Toyotomi Hideji as the guarantor, confirmed the principle that Ishida Mitsunari drew up tactics and Asano Yukunaga implemented them.

Ishida Mitsunari inquired in detail about the previous failures and the combat effectiveness of Ii Naomasa's army, and then came up with a plan, but this plan had relatively high requirements for Asano Yukunaga and his troops. Apart from the guards, only Toyotomi Hideji's [-]-strong army has such strength.

Toyotomi Hideji didn't hesitate much. He was willing to transfer 5000 of the [-] elite troops he had trained for a long time to Ishida Mitsunari. Keep only five thousand, and tell Asano Yukunaga to do so, so, so, so, so and so.

So in the second aggressive method, Asano Yukunaga couldn't bear the insult of women's clothing, led the army to attack, and fought against the cunning Ii Naomasa in Ishimi. Among them, Ishida Mitsunari transported more than [-] troops into Asano Yukunaga's camp.

But whether it's the banner or the number of buried pots, they are all calculated according to [-].

Naomasa Ii has always been very cautious, but in the face of the defeated general, he may be less cautious, or he does not know who the real opponent in this battle is, and he overestimated the internal struggle of the Toyotomi clan under such circumstances If he knew, he would probably be more careful.

He was not wronged.

Yukunaga Asano led his troops to fight very fiercely in order to avenge his shame. The morale of Toyotomi's army was greatly boosted and they killed a lot of enemies. However, when the Tokugawa army was retreating, even if someone wanted to resist, there was nothing they could do in the face of the tide of retreat.

Especially the cavalry of the Red Army, who were killed by the retreating soldiers. Not only could they not resist, they couldn't even run, and some soldiers even dragged the Red Army from their horses and fled by themselves. Many people dragged them down, and finally the horses were trampled to death.

The red armor on the red armor was particularly conspicuous. Asano Yukunaga directly ordered the iron gunners to shoot at places with more red armor, and the hit rate was unprecedentedly high.

The people huddled together, no matter how the lead was hit, the Tokugawa army suffered heavy casualties, and they fell to the ground one after another. Countless soldiers of the Red Army were killed along with them. Only a few soldiers of the Red Army forced their horses to break a bloody road He didn't even hesitate to kill his own people, so he escaped from the battlefield and caught up with Naomasa Ii.

About five 600 people.

For the rest, Jing Yi Naomasa could only run wildly without looking back while bleeding from his heart.

Yuki Asano grew up to win a complete victory, avenged his shame in one fell swoop, and consolidated his status and reputation.

Ishida Mitsunari swept across the Tokugawa's barracks, and those who should be killed were killed and those who should be robbed were robbed, but they kept all the miners and achieved great results. However, it is a pity that Ii Naomasa was not caught. Living in Kanbara Komasa, he has an extra hole card in his hand.

When facing Ieyasu Tokugawa, he can be more calm.

He considered and acted in this way, and his actions were quite successful.

After Toyotomi Hideji heard the good news, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered to tell everyone the news, which greatly improved the morale of Toyotomi's army. Then, he ordered the whole army to speed up and march towards Ishimi.

Undoubtedly, the Tokugawa clan lost Iwami, and also lost morale. The most serious thing was the loss of Kanbara Yasomasa, who was captured alive, which was a big blow to the Tokugawa clan. Honda Tadakatsu died After the battle, Kanbara Komasa was without a doubt Tokugawa's most valiant warrior.

The loss of a general is second to none, and the most important thing is that morale has been severely hit, which makes the Tokugawa family, who are already relatively disadvantaged in numbers, even more disadvantaged.

So when Tokugawa Ieyasu saw Ii Naomasa who fled back with hundreds of red troops, he directly ordered him to be locked up with a livid face, waiting for disposal.

It would be okay if it was just a simple loss of soldiers and generals, but such a loss is too great, to the point that even people like Ieyasu Tokugawa can't accept it. Only more than 600 people from the [-] Red Army came back...

Even if you lose Kanbara Komasa and [-] soldiers, you can bring back the Red Army!

You lost all the elite red reserve team!
This time, he couldn't even cover up, so he was directly locked up, and there was no time to decide on punishment measures. He immediately held a military meeting to discuss what to do next.

Right now, the Toyotomi family has seized Ishimi, and also seized the opportunity, and has the righteous name of respecting the king and begging for thieves. Even Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is very deep in the city, realizes that he can't just sit around like this, otherwise the reputation of the thieves will be destroyed. If it is implemented, there will be no time for him to make a comeback.

It is necessary to fight a victorious battle to turn public opinion, take the title of the imperial army, and make the Toyotomi family a thief army.

Tokugawa Ieyasu began to plan how to regain Ishimi.

At this moment, Toyotomi Hideji is leading his main force to rush towards Ishimi.
