    Boom¡ª¡ª

    Tokugawa Hidetada was just about to put a rice ball into his mouth when a thunderous roar sounded hundreds of steps away from him. Suddenly there was chaos in the military camp, but this chaos did not spread too widely, and soon it was  It calmed down!

    Tokugawa Hidetada took a bite of the rice ball slowly. The slightly salty rice ball made Tokugawa Hidetada feel very delicious!

    "It's been a long time since I've had such delicious food!" Tokugawa Hidetada said to himself as he chewed the rice ball!

    Since Tokugawa Hidetada decided to stand on the hillside waiting for reinforcements, his army has been constantly harassed by the Ming army, either with a shot or a cannon. In short, there is no time to stop!

    At the beginning, Tokugawa Hidetada was still very nervous. He was afraid that the Ming army would launch a large-scale attack at this time. He only had more than 10,000 people in his hands, which made Tokugawa Hidetada feel very uneasy. As time went by, a large number of samurai led his ashigaru and  They met, and soon more than 40,000 people gathered around Tokugawa Hidetada, and food and various equipment were gradually increasing. Normally, Tokugawa Hidetada should be in a relaxed mood, but the two samurai who came to the rescue brought two  The news makes Tokugawa Hidetoshi unable to relax!

    Akito is arresting people around Edo Castle!

    The Ming army did not stop the warriors who came to support!

    According to Tokugawa Hidetada's original intention, after receiving these two pieces of news, he should immediately lead his troops to move towards Saitama. However, the Ming army's cavalry continued to patrol around his camp, which made Tokugawa Hidetada unable to encourage him at all.  Have the courage to escape!

    The firearms of the Ming army were so sharp that they had huge lethality even a hundred steps away on horseback. If they were constantly attacked by such cavalry, Tokugawa Hidetada didn't know how long his army could last!

    But as time went by, fewer and fewer samurai came to rescue. Tokugawa Hidetada knew that those samurai who did not come would probably never come again. In this case, sticking to this hillside would be tantamount to committing suicide.  So we have to take action no matter what, but the Ming army is too powerful. Tokugawa Hidetada has no confidence in this battle.

    "Alas!" Tokugawa Hidetada finished eating a rice ball, sighed deeply, and said to the attendant: "Go and call Iemitsu!"

    The attendant left as ordered, and not long after, Tokugawa Iemitsu came. Three days ago, he was a heroic young shogun, but now he looked tired and covered in mud. If it weren't for his armor, he would have looked like a beggar.  the difference!

    "Father, what do you want me to do?" Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at his father and asked!

    "In a moment, my father will personally lead 30,000 people to attack the Ming army. You take the remaining 10,000 people and quickly turn towards Saitama. If Saitama cannot hold it, you must ensure that you survive.  No matter what, the bloodline of the Tokugawa family must not be cut off!" Tokugawa Hidetada said these words in a very calm tone, as if he was talking about what to eat for dinner. It can be seen that the second-generation general of the Tokugawa shogunate had death in mind at this time.  Got it!

    "Father, the Japanese country cannot live without a father. It is better to let the son attack the Ming army! Father, please transfer to Saitama. This way, the chance of victory will be greater!" Tokugawa Iemitsu is not stupid. He knows that the life and death of the Tokugawa family is now at stake.  However, he believed that his father was far more prestigious than himself and could better shoulder his responsibility in resisting the Ming army!

    "It's useless!" Tokugawa Hidetada shook his head and said: "My father had long heard that the Ming army was hunting Koreans as slaves in Korea. At that time, my father didn't care. Now I see that my father is really too careless. How old is Korea?  ?How many slaves can there be? How can Akito¡¯s appetite be fed by tiny North Korea?¡±

    "If my father had realized this earlier and prepared earlier, he would not have been as passive as he is today even in the face of Akito's attack!" Tokugawa Hidetada looked at his son and continued with a kind smile: "  Iemitsu, my father is old, but you are still young, and the bloodline of the Tokugawa family depends on you to continue it!"

    "Father!" Tokugawa Iemitsu knelt on the ground, crying sadly. The important matter of the survival of his family and country was really an unbearable burden for him who was only eighteen or nineteen years old!

    "Don't cry!" Tokugawa Hidetada stood up, walked past Tokugawa Iemitsu with steady steps, and roared like a late tiger: "As a father, as a man of the Tokugawa family, I must defend Tokugawa with my life."  The dignity of the family, and as a man of the Tokugawa family, you must be prepared to give up your dignity and continue the Tokugawa family¡¯s bloodline!¡±

    "Go! Don't look back! The continuation of the family is up to you!" Tokugawa Hidetada's voice and figure finally disappeared. Tokugawa Iemitsu was also helped up by his loyal retainers and left quickly in the opposite direction!

    Woo¡ª¡ª

    ??The deep and loud horn sound sounded, and 30,000 curtainsThe army was divided into six square formations and walked down the hillside. The flag of Tokugawa Hidetada was flying in the headquarters square formation. Under the flag, Tokugawa Hidetada rode a Kiso horse and moved forward slowly!

    Cao Ling did not expect that Tokugawa Hidetada would dare to attack him at this time, but since such a thing happened, Cao Ling naturally had to fight, especially when he learned that Tokugawa Hidetada only brought 30,000 people.  , a sneer appeared on Cao Ling's face!

    Soon the Ming Expeditionary Army formed a formation. Unlike the shogunate army which divided the 30,000 people into six square formations, the Ming army's 30,000 people were divided into twelve square formations, with ten or two thousand people staggered in the middle.  A phalanx of human infantry, supported by four thousand cavalry on each side!

    The remaining two thousand blood flag troops have been sent out by Cao Ling. Cao Ling calculated that at least 20,000 shogunate warriors had joined Tokugawa Hidetada in the past three days. Now that Tokugawa Hidetada only brought 30,000 people, then  The remaining more than 10,000 people must have other uses!

    Using 2,000 cavalry to deal with 10,000 enemy infantry means that in an army with pure cold weapons, the cavalry has the advantage. But now that the cavalry has entered the era of hot weapons, there is no need to worry about the outcome!

    Tokugawa Hidetada was riding on his horse, looking at the Ming army's formation with cold eyes. What he saw were tall and strong Ming soldiers wearing khaki cotton armor. However, these Ming soldiers all carried muskets on their shoulders, and there were no spearmen or spearmen at all.  The figures of swordsmen, shield bearers and archers!

    "The general of the Ming Army must be crazy. Although the fire guns are sharp, their weaknesses are also obvious. Without the cooperation of the spearmen, the simple fire gun soldiers cannot be effective in close combat!" Seeing this  Seeing the scene, Tokugawa Hidetada showed a rare smile on his face, and there was a hint of relaxation in his tone!

    "What the General is saying is that the general of the Ming Army is probably a fool who is extremely superstitious about fire cannons and can only talk about war on paper. He has no idea that without the cooperation of other arms, his fire cannon soldiers fired three rounds of volleys.  We can only be torn apart by the samurai who are close by. It seems that God Amaterasu has blessed us this time, allowing us to meet an idiot!" Seeing that Tokugawa Hidetada was in a good mood, the retainers around him also became happy, and naturally spoke differently.  I was so reserved two days ago!

    If you follow common sense and judge Tokugawa Hidetada and his retainers, it is correct. In ordinary people's perception, the range of fire cannons is only fifty to eighty steps. At this distance, although fire cannons can cause damage to infantry and even cavalry,  Huge damage!

    But because the distance is so short, no matter whether facing cavalry or infantry, the gunman can only fire three rounds of volleys before being attacked at close range. Melee combat is simply a nightmare for the gunman, so facing pure fire  The Ming army was full of gunmen, and Tokugawa Hidetada had a glimmer of hope of victory in his heart!

    "Attack?" Tokugawa Hidetada waved the folding fan in his hand, and the attendant behind him immediately waved the signal flag. The 30,000 shogunate troops lined up in a neat queue, holding spears flat and holding shields, and pressed towards the Ming army!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
