Chapter 1048 Toba's Combat

After all, the Edo Shogunate had not fought in 50 years. After Tokugawa's family order was issued, the relatives and the common daimyos were still one step slower.

After the Anti-Suku Army attacked Nagasaki, the Hiramasa-Fan Kyoshima family and the Choshu Maori family responded one after another and decided to join the Anti-Suku Army.

The Tokugawa family thought that the Ming Dynasty would participate directly in the war, and believed that the reverse coalition would adopt the strategy of persevering in waiting for assistance and waiting for the Ming army to land.

Under this strategy, the Overthrow Alliance only needs to stand firm and gain a foothold for the Ming army. When the Ming army continues to land, it can gradually overwhelm the Tokugawa family.

However, the Ming Dynasty actually did not intend to participate in the war directly, so the anti-shog coalition must achieve certain results and gain certain advantages before the Tokugawa army is pressed forward, thereby attacking the Tokugawa side's prestige and allowing more daimyos to join the downward camp.

Therefore, after eliminating the Tokugawa forces on Kyushu Island, the Shimazu family, Tagawa army and the Kokushima army seized a large number of merchant ships and warships in Nagasaki Port, and immediately sent troops to the Four Kingdoms. With the help of the Nagazomoto clan, they attacked Kochi Castle and forced the Yamauchi family, who was close to the Tokugawa family, to supervise the semen and control the Tosa family of the Four Kingdoms.

The overturned coalition forces immediately took a boat to cross the river. When they entered Osaka, they were so scared that they were unprepared that Tokugawa's army abandoned the city and fled.

At this time, another army of downward troops, the Maori family of Changshu, marched along Honshu Island and arrived in Kobe.

At this time, the Tokugawa army rushed from Edo to Kyoto.

Tokugawa's family left a part of the army, and the Maeda family who monitored Kaga, the Uesugi family of Muzawa, and the Ida family of Mu's family once again chose Tokugawa's side, so that the Tokugawa family could gather nearly 200,000 troops to quell the rebellion.

At the same time, the anti-strait coalition forces met in Osaka and replaced them with a group of firearms supported by the Ming Dynasty. The 50,000 coalition forces marched towards Kyoto.

Toba, located between Kyoto and Osaka, the anti-shog coalition forces marched towards Kyoto unexpectedly met the Tokugawa army that went south to quell the rebellion.

There is a classic story in Japan, "If the bird does not sing, Nobunaga kills it; if the bird does not sing, Hideyoshi will make it sing; if the bird does not sing, Ieyasu will wait for it to sing." This story roughly shows the characteristics of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu in the late Warring States Period of Japan.

Oda Nobunaga is crazy, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is slippery, and Tokugawa Ieyasu is very tolerant.

Generally speaking, many people think that the Tokugawa family can finally get the world of Japan, mainly because Tokugawa Ieyasu and the old turtle lived for a long time and could tolerate it. But in fact, in addition to being able to tolerate it, Tokugawa Ieyasu's field combat capability can be said to be the strongest in Japan.

Of course, the three parties have fought together, and the time they were beaten to the point of squirting by Takeda Shingen does not count.

At this time, the Tokugawa family led 200,000 Tokugawa troops to march southwards, and near Tokuba, a crowd suddenly appeared in front of them.

The spear, like the forest, intertwined with dog teeth, and the light-footed warriors were inserted with home patterns, flew in the wind.

Shimazu, Maori, Takawa, Kuroshima, Nagatozo and other departments, with different colors of back flags all over the earth.

General Shimazu Kokuha, general of the coalition forces, sat on the stool, with many generals gathering around him.

In front of them, the coalition gunners stood in front, and a large number of spearmen were lined up in line in the rear, and finally there were nearly a hundred artillery guns on the top of the mountain.

At this time, the Tokugawa army stopped opposite the coalition forces, and 200,000 troops set up formations in the wilderness.

Tokugawa Izuno, wearing gorgeous armor, rode a horse to the front of the formation, glanced at the coalition forces in front of him, and showed contempt on his face.

"Your Highness, there are still many people on the other side." The retainer, Tomoto, is the master of Masahisa.

Tokugawa Izunobu looked at the enemy formation and knew that the coalition forces had only 50,000 people, and they were not the opponent of his 200,000 army at all. "Hmph, there are a lot, but at most noon, this palace can defeat them!"

Tokugawa Izunobu was contemptuous. If the Ming Dynasty sent troops to come, he might be a little scared, but the other party was just a group of defeated generals, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Tokugawa's family glanced at the Shimazu family, the Guoshima family, the Maori family, and the Nagatozo-wobe family who were cheating. He was familiar with the family patterns of these people, and none of them could fight.

"Look at that flag!" Honda Masato suddenly pointed to the rear of the coalition forces.

Tokugawa Izunobu looked up and saw a new Jiawen Banner behind him that he had never seen before. He couldn't help but frown slightly, "The remnants of Toyotomi Army!"

The Ming Dynasty sent more than 3,000 ronin samurai back to Japan to participate in the war of anti-scenes. Many of them were descendants of ronin who had been overseas after the Battle of Osaka. It is said that among them were descendants of retainers of Nagasaki Mori and Uekiji Goto.

"It's just a group of stray dogs!" Tokugawa's family pulled back to the formation, and did not take this more than 3,000 Takawa army seriously.

At this time, Tokugawa Izunobu came to the formation, turned over and dismounted, sat on the stool, picked up a folding fan that issued orders in his hand, and asked, "How is the arrangement of each formation?"

"The front is the Honda family, Toda family, Akita family, the left wing is the Sakai family, Ikeda family, the right wing is the Matsuhei family, the one of the Yanagi family, and the other Ida family and the Asano family are in the rear!" The old family's family's old Taoist Masato.

Tokugawa Family Tsuna is quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Suddenly, he waved the folding fan in his hand, and the Tokugawa Main Formation immediately made a loud horn!

The former army was in large formations, and more than ten thousand Tokugawa troops all let out a low roar, raised their spears and escorted them to the coalition forces!

The Tokugawa army took neat steps and put down the raised spear, and the light-footed samurai advanced with its spear.

At this time, the Tagawa Formation behind the opposite coalition immediately heard the "boom boom boom" guns, and the Shimazu family iron artillery team in front also pulled the trigger together.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the Tokugawa Army suffered heavy losses in the first formation.

Tokugawa Izuno, sitting on the stool, changed his expression and immediately waved his folding fan.

The drum whistle sounded, and this time it was nearly 10,000 cavalrymen on Tokugawa who left the town and launched a cavalry attack on the coalition front.

"Boom boom boom" the soldiers of the Takawa Army operated the Ming Dynasty's fast cannons. The cannons suddenly retreated. The soldiers hurriedly loaded and shot the rushing Tokugawa Army.

In front of the formation, Shimazu Iron Gunner, who had been equipped with a Ming Dynasty flintlock rifle, bombarded the cavalry with a Japanese three-stage strike.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, people howled and horses neighed, and the Tokugawa Army's corpses were everywhere.

Tokugawa Iezuna, sitting on the stool, watched the two waves of charges suffer heavy losses, and stood up from the stool irritably, stretched his neck to observe the battlefield. Seeing the cavalry hit the coalition defense line and was blocked by a light-footed spearman, he waved his fans in anger, and two waves of Tokugawa troops launched the charge.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the two armies collided with each other, fought with spears, and slashed with Japanese swords, and fought fiercely.

Although the coalition forces were small, the Tagawa army occupied the mountain and used artillery to support the downward coalition forces, making it impossible for the Tokugawa family to defeat the coalition forces.

At this time, Tokugawa Ietsunobu also realized that to defeat the coalition forces, it was necessary to attack the coalition artillery formation guarded by the Tagawa army.

Tokugawa Ietsuto stretched his neck, stared at the battlefield, raised the folding fan in his hand, ready to take a desperate bet and crush the coalition forces, but at this moment, there was a sudden chaos behind Tokugawa's main formation.

The Ida army, who had wiped out all the friendly forces in the Osaka formation, suddenly broke out and attacked the Asano family, who were also Tokugawa, and killed the Asano army.
