Beiyang new warlord

"I don't know!"

The entire Imperial Tent suddenly fell into silence. In one day, one-thirtieth of the shogunate army was wiped out, and the heavy casualties were shocking. After a long silence, Masakatsu Inaba, the old man, asked.

"What about the left army and the right army?"

"Back to Mr. Inaba, the left and right troops did not suffer much casualties. Although there were large-scale conflicts with several rebels such as the Mori family and the Shimadzu family, only a few hundred people were killed."

"General, you can't fight like this anymore!"

Suddenly, Inaba Masakatsu stepped out of the dining table with a heartbroken heart, and suddenly knelt down in front of Tokugawa Iemitsu.

"General, Dongjiang Mao Jue is the strongest in the Western Army, just like Sanada Yukimura at the time of the Osaka battle. If he fights so hard, even if he wins the shogunate, there will be many casualties. There are not many left. It should be to change the main attack direction. Now, if you attack the Maoli family or the Shimadzu family, Mao Jue will definitely be alone."

"Veteran boldly, I implore the general to follow the example of Lord Ieyasu's tactics and use the banner army as a bait to drag the Dongjiang army deep into the formation!"

This is about to change, Aoyama Xingcheng's heart beats violently like a drum, and Matsudaira Nobutsuna's words before leaving are still in his ears, don't practice this method of warfare!

But in the entire tent, dozens of big names, such as Matsudaira Hironobu and Date Tadakamune, all nodded in agreement, and he swallowed the words back.

Looking around in a large circle, Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded heavily.

"Then let's change formation!"

2 Chapter Ninety. Deciding the Battle of the World

Fusang is a country that believes in Buddhism and Shintoism is extremely devout. Unfortunately, the Buddha's stop killing and the benevolence of Shinto are also used by them in killing.

As the water vapor accumulated in the original night of Osaka turned into morning mist and floated up, the monks holding sutra drums and sails were already babbling, and those shoguns holding guns and wearing lacquer black and shiny When passing by, they also knelt down piously, clasped their hands together in prayer, kowtowed slightly, and then turned around and left their respective formations.

That pious appearance, as if they were not going to kill, but to sow seeds and do good deeds.

No matter how deep the belief is, it can't match the heavy reality. Although yesterday's battlefield killing was extremely bloody, and the overwhelming artillery fire tore each body, but when they woke up today, each warrior still longed for the battlefield. Only the head can help them get rid of it. First of all, in a hard life, pay off the usury owed to those damn town people Zhacha who will never pay off, gain knowledge and behavior, and become the banner master that everyone yearns for.

After praying, with conflicting beliefs in their hearts, a vast number of shogunate warriors joined the army, once again forming a frightening army of 30.

In the former south of Osaka, the main battle of the Western Army.

Different from the Honjin where the Japanese daimyo showed their heads, Mao Jue had a cover, the huge tent was impermeable to the wind and rain, and the eight braziers that had almost burned out were still flickering with the last bit of light. Although it was less than the shogunate, there were still More than 66 daimyos, big and small, knelt there, and a cowhide-made picture of the [-]-year-old Japanese kingdom was hung on it.

Although the real Ishida Mitsunari in history was decades behind and missed, but from the later works and movies, Mao Jue's impression of this senior of the Western Army is that he is upright! Arrogant!

It’s a bit like those smelly and tough civil servants in the Ming Dynasty. He knows how to be flexible, and there are too few flexible ones. Groups such as Kato Kiyomasa, Kuroda Nagamasa, Fukushima Masanori, etc. have caused considerable conflicts, and there is actually a saying in the history of the Sekigahara War that it may be avoided. After all, Tokugawa Ieyasu is already in his seventies and eighties. Damn it, the next generation of the Tokugawa family doesn't have the talent of the old fox.

However, Ishida Mitsunari had to insist on his righteousness and let the Toyotomi family defeat the Tokugawa family, which was a scourge, which led to the defeat of Sekihara.

In any case, Ishida Mitsunari is an old and rigid old-fashioned man. On the contrary, Mao Jue, who came from later generations, firmly believes that there is no profit.

"After this battle, Settsu, Hanoi, Kii, Wakasa, Tanba, Tamgo, Omi, Iga, Ise, and Ishimi, the 300 million stones of the ten countries, belonged to the Tianling, and belonged to the Toyotomi family. Asai, the Hiroshima domain The family moved to Shikoku, Yongyiyu, Sanki, Awa 85 koku, Anyu Kingdom merged into the Maori family, Fukushima clan gave Yun 25 koku, Shimadzu family gave Hoki 18 koku, Nabeshima family got Tajima 15 koku Stone, the Fukushima family gave Bizen 20 stone"

On the map, Xiguo is like a big cake, which was sliced ​​open by Mao Jue. After the Sekigahara War, the names of Xiguo were punished miserably, such as the Mori family, which fell directly from 120 million shi to 37 shi. There are countless lands that have been confiscated as heavenly lands. Mao Jue promised him the land they wanted to get back with gnashing teeth. Eyes are starting to redden.

Why do you carry guns and fight to the death?Isn't it land and wealth?If Ishida Mitsunari had given up all the land of the Tokugawa family so generously before the war, Mao Jue would not believe that a bunch of guys were still sitting on the mountain watching the fun.

Among them, many small daimyo territories who were watching were also divided by Mao Jue indifferently. It is estimated that there will be many disputes after the war, but Mao Jue doesn't care about them at all, just like the Maori family back then. If you let go of the opportunity, you can only accept the punishment of the winner.

After the cake was cut, Mao Jue's face became serious, and he shook his fist at the kneeling daimyo.

"Everyone, today's battle is not only about whether the Toyotomi family can return, but also about the Western Kingdom, and about the happiness and well-being of your families for a hundred years. Use today's blood in exchange for future blessings, gentlemen, please!"

"Don't worry! We will pledge our allegiance to the Toyotomi family to the death! We will not hesitate to die!"

Just kidding, there are fiefs to take! What is fate?Especially the poor and frightened Mao Lijia, who led the way, Mao Lixiu was the first to kowtow and bow down, followed by those big names, the ronin leaders kowtowed and bowed one after another, the sound shook the big tent of the Chinese army for a while. Immediately, a group of people carried their knives arrogantly, dispersed left and right with high morale, and returned to their respective positions.

"Idiot, is the fief so easy to get?"

After sending these people away, the general's aura suddenly dissipated, leaning against the table, Mao Jue shrugged lazily and hummed disdainfully.

It's just that Yuan Chonghuan, who has gradually entered the role, is more relaxed than him, but his brows are furrowed.

"General, today's battle is not easy! If the Tokugawa family's offensive is too fierce, what should we do if the firewood collapses and escapes? Before winning, the general needs to think about defeat first!"

"Then you can't give up because of choking, you still have to fight! What you should do is to maximize the odds of winning. Therefore, I have to ask Mr. Yuan, Xiao Song, and Mr. Li. Mr. Yuan supervises 7000 people on the left There are 8000 people on the right of the Xiao Song Governor, Mr. Li, your Li family's North Korean troops will line up after our Chinese army, and if any side can't stand it, support them as soon as possible!"

Except for Song Xiance's voice, which was a bit depressed, why an adult and a gentleman would become Xiao Song when he came to him, and the other two all clasped their fists and bowed respectfully.

"Don't worry, general! We will do our best!"

"General, the troops are so scattered, your central army can play the leading role in entering, is it enough?"

Yuan Chonghuan still asked worriedly, but before Mao Jue could answer, he patted his chest, and Kong Youde yelled loudly.

"Master Yuan, don't worry, you dwarfs, you don't need to send me out, our old Kong will take care of you!"

Beside him, Liu Xingzuo had a cruel shark-like smile on his face, and Liu Chong's honest old face was also smiling without saying a word.

Both sides are making intensive preparations, easing up on the hillside with not much ups and downs, several daimyos keep sending people to announce the results of the military meeting in the morning, talking about how much their own families can increase their knowledge and actions, the fighting spirit of the warriors and retainers is also Lifting it up slowly, one after another stepped into the formation. As the sun rose, it was after nine o'clock in the morning that the next day's battle kicked off.

Just looking at the huge shogunate army formation at the foot of the mountain, and still thinking about Hoki's 18 koku Shimadzu Mitsuhisa, his gaze couldn't help but freeze.

"There seems to be something wrong with this atmosphere!"

Not only was something wrong, it was simply too wrong. Holding the saber high, let the rising sun smear a layer of cold light, as the vanguard, Date Zhongzong howled like a pig.

"Enemy! Shimadzu's team! Go out! Attack!"

"Swoosh!"

"Give me the press!"

Amidst all kinds of ugly Japanese shouts, once again, the densely packed shogunate troops spread towards the Western Army's formation like a rising tide, but they were not as calm as Mao Jue. Jumped up and down and roared.

"Change the front and arrow formation, the player moves forward, the gun team presses down, iron gunner, hit me!"

It was exactly the same as the formation of the Shimadzu family during the Sekigahara War. The family crest was painted on the front, and the wooden wall shield with a bracket was placed in front of the formation. Immediately afterwards, the Shimadzu family's iron gunners hurriedly exposed their heads and charged below. The iron cannon warriors of the Date family also stood still and raised their guns. Amidst the crackling sound of popping beans, the bloody battle of the second day started.

Today, the smoke from gunpowder filled the entire battlefield, and the shogunate canisters were transported to the front of the formation. The sound of cannons one after another was even louder than yesterday. , shuttled non-stop, and kept reporting the battle situation to Mao Jue's ears.

"Report! Shimadzu's team, Date's team, and Hachisuka's team are fighting on the same line of defense!"

"Report, the Akizuki team has been defeated by the Mito Matsudaira team and is retreating. The Morimoto team and Akino's second line of defense are on top, and they are fighting fiercely!"

"Report, the Asano team is flanked by the Ikeda team, the Owari Tokugawa team, and the Niwa team, and they are in a hurry!"

This is really a big change. The entire Western Army's two wings are completely caught in the flames of war. Less than an hour after the start of the battle, the fighting and roaring have spread to half of Osaka Plain, but before Mao Jue's main formation, it turned out to be a piece of peace. Outside, there are 3000 weak people from the Yoshida family, and behind the Yoshida family formation, it was finally transported across the river, the general's cumbersome horse mark and horse seal, and the three-meter-high black clover printed The general of the family emblem just stopped there so quietly.

The cavalry in female clothes with huge black or red hollow cloth balls on their backs, like colorful snacks, lined up seductively and held lances in front. Mao Jue couldn't help swallowing when he saw it, and then he twisted violently Overdone.
