- Along the Hangze River.
As the vanguard of the Sanhe Legion, a group of three hundred crimson cavalry galloped at a gallop.
This cavalry team wearing red armor is a cavalry legion formed by Tokugawa Ieyasu in imitation of Takeda Akabi.
And this time, the general of Tokugawa Akabi was Naomasa Ii, a native of Ii Valley in Toe Province.
" Naomasa Akaguii, who later became known as one of the Three Tokugawa Heroes, was only nineteen years old at this time and was young and handsome.
Since the birth of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Ieyasu's army has been entrusted with important responsibilities for Ieyasu. This made Honda Tadakatsu, Sakakihara Yasumasa and other generals dissatisfied.
Therefore, Ii Naomasa also held his breath. In this Sekigahara formation, he took the initiative to volunteer as the vanguard of the Tokugawa army and fight on the front line to show the power of the newly trained Ii Akabi.
"Report to the lord, the Oda army has been spotted ahead!"
Ii Naomasa groaned and asked: "How many people are there? Which general's flag is it?"
"The flag seal cannot be identified, there are probably no more than a hundred people, there are war horses, and they are drinking water by the river!"
"The flag seal cannot be identified, so it is naturally an unknown general, so there is nothing to worry about."
After hearing this, Naomasa Ii hit the horse's head with his fist and said: "Very good, the first achievement of the first battle is mine, Chibei Ii. The Chibei team attacks!"
The location of Ii Naomasa is in Mino Akasaka.
There are sixty-nine camps on the Nakasendo Road, stretching from Kyoto to Kanto.
Sekihara¡¯s location is the fifty-eighth camp. Akasaka is the fifty-sixth division. In the center of the two camps is Tarui, which is close to the main battlefield of the Sekigahara Formation, Nangong Mountain.
Naomasa Ii led the 300 Chibei. Of course, he was preparing to seize the lead by taking the lead. It was also to clear the way for the next army to pass through here and reach Sekigahara.
Jingyi Chibei is like the wind all the way. Walking along the Hangase River, I saw many Oda troops with small flags on the riverside, drinking water and washing their horses by the river.
Naomasa Ii immediately moved his big spear, and the cavalry under his command understood, and immediately outflanked them on the left and right, while he rushed forward from the middle.
The opponent's army was obviously hasty and unprepared, and they saw Ii Chi preparing to kill. He hurriedly mounted his horse.
At this time, the cavalrymen under Naomasa Ii fired arrows one after another, and suddenly the first round of arrow rain came down.
Under this round of arrows, more than a dozen people fell down.
The opponent immediately lost his will to fight and panicked. Running around in all directions.
"It's so easy!" Naomasa Ii couldn't help but yelled. At that moment, three hundred cavalrymen clashed with each other and surrounded the opponent on the river beach.
Just when Ii Naomasa thought everything was going well, an iron cannon stretched out from the woods next to the cavalry team that was outflanking the left wing.
Just listen to the banging sound.
Suddenly. Ii Chibei on the left wing, the war horses neighed, and the knights on horseback kept falling under their horses.
No, we were ambushed.
Ii Naomasa shouted and was about to wave his gun to command, when his men retreated from the original path.
Suddenly on the hill beside. Countless stray logs were thrown away on the retreat route.
People can pass because of the clutter of trees blocking the road, but the horses cannot walk.
At this time, the cry of killing rang out from the other side, and an unknown number of people came out from behind the trees and surrounded Naomasa Mukai's horse team.
Ii Naomasa understood that he was young and aggressive, so he ordered the red team to prepare. Instead, they fell into a tight siege by the enemy. This area was densely wooded and obviously not a place for the cavalry to perform.
Under the current situation, Naomasa Ii shouted at all the soldiers and said: "You abandon your horses and follow me back from the original route!"
Ii Naomasa's words made all the Mikawa warriors look at each other in shock. Everyone understood that it was not easy to get the war horse.
" Naomasa Ii's move is equivalent to turning the hard-trained Chibei into a horseless warrior again.
It is not easy for a strong man to cut off his wrist. Facing the enemy troops that are constantly coming in the woods, everyone knows that the only way to survive is the original way.
At present, all the Mikawa warriors followed Ii Naomasa and dismounted to fight.
When the Oda army saw the Mikawa samurai, without war horses, they were like tigers pulling out their teeth, and they immediately pounced on them.
But at this moment, Naomasa Ii brought the team together.
When the Oda army rushed up, they first greeted them with bows and arrows.
The strong bows in the hands of the Mikawa samurai are by no means comparable to the Maruki bows in the hands of the Oda Army's bow ashigaru.
With heavy arrows coming down, the Oda army Ashigaru, wearing bamboo armor with almost no defense, fell one after another.
Waiting for the Oda army to attackWhen approaching, the red warriors all abandoned their bows, replaced them with spears, and advanced with their naginatas.
With the regret of losing their horses and the bravery of the Mikawa samurai, these samurai rushed into the Oda army's formation, causing a bloody storm.
At present, hundreds of Oda troops were ambushing them. Under a charge from the Mikawa samurai, they lost their helmets and armor and fled in all directions.
Naomasa Ii was not greedy for merit. He ordered his subordinates to stop the pursuit. After cutting off the heads of the Oda warriors, he stepped back from the original path in an orderly manner across the tangled trees.
Ii Chibei's leisurely and leisurely retreat immediately angered the Oda army.
At this time, a flag seal appeared from the mountains. Ii Naomasa identified it from the flag seal. The opponent was the Oda family Yamato and guardian Tsutsui Junkei, and his famous general Matsukura Shigenobu.
As soon as Matsukura Shigenobu appeared, he immediately reorganized his subordinates and stepped forward to pursue Ii Chibei.
At this time, the Sanhe warriors fully demonstrated what it means to be fearless and the courage of an elite soldier.
Although the number of the Oda army was several times that of the Ii army, Hori Hidemasa organized several assaults and even went into battle himself, but they were all repulsed by the Mikawa samurai.
Naomasa Ii, whose armor was stained with blood and suffered two stab wounds, still stood behind the rear hall with his soldiers to block the Oda army's momentum.
After Ii Naomasa commanded the troops to retreat for a mile, the Tokugawa Army's rear line, Sakakihara Yasumasa and Okubo Tadayo, finally arrived.
Matsukura Shigenobu also knew the reputation of the two men for their bravery, so he immediately led his army to retreat.
"You bastard! Two thousand people can't do anything to three hundred people."
When Tsutsui Junkei returned to the camp to surrender his life to Oda Nobutada and Akechi Mitsuhide, he was angrily scolded by Oda Nobutada.
Oda Nobutada was furious, but Akechi Mitsuhide on the side was secretly frightened.
He knew how powerful Tsutsui Junkei was. The opponent had been in Yamato for a long time and fought against Matsunagahide. He was not an incompetent general. He had also heard about Matsukura Shigenobu's bravery.
Before, he wanted to use this trick to annihilate an entire enemy army in order to frighten the other party's desire to fight.
"But I didn't expect that 300 Tokugawa troops were hit. After setting up an ambush with 2,000 troops, I was still able to break out.
Not only that, but he also killed and wounded more than 500 Oda soldiers, and captured more than 30 heads of the opponent's samurai. In addition, the Tokugawa general Tadakatsu Honda used 500 manpower to occupy the Oda family's 40,000 troops for half a day. I can't help but feel deeply about the proficiency of the Tokugawa Army.
Akechi Mitsuhide thought that the Tokugawa army was so powerful. If he encountered Li Xiao, who was more elite than the Tokugawa army, the future battle of Sekigahara would be extremely difficult.
Oda Nobutada still had an angry look on his face, Akechi Mitsuhide thought that Tsutsui Junkei was a king-level daimyo after all, so he couldn't be so merciless.
At the moment, Akechi Mitsuhide came forward to be a good person and comforted him with gentle words.
Just when Mitsuhide Akechi was assessing the chances of victory in the combined battle between the two armies, the Hida Etsuchu Army Corps had already arrived in Akasaka, where it met up with Tokugawa Ieyasu's Hatamoto Army.
Li Xiao met Tokugawa Ieyasu at the moment.
Tokugawa Ieyasu reported to Li Xiao the previous battle of Hangze River, and told the news that his most elite Chibei had been thwarted in the ambush.
After hearing this, Li Xiao comforted Tokugawa Ieyasu with Wen Yan and ordered his subordinates to give him a bag of gold.
Let him reward the soldiers for this battle.
This bag of gold immediately cheered up Tokugawa Ieyasu a lot.
Immediately, Li Xiao and Tokugawa Ieyasu studied the terrain of Sekigahara.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was the first to say: "Since our army's forward has been defeated in an ambush, it means that the Oda army has entered Sekigahara first and has set up a formation here to prepare to meet our army. If the decisive battle in Sekigahara is carried out according to the previous , then the geographical advantage does not lie with me."
oh? After hearing this, Li Xiao was very interested. This was the authentic general of the Eastern Army in the history of the Sekigahara War, which is also Li Xiao's current position.
The other party actually thinks that it is extremely inconvenient to conduct a joint battle in Guanyuan.
Li Xiao immediately ordered someone to spread out the map and asked: "Your Highness Sanhe, do you have any advice?"
At that moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu pointed his riding whip on the map, clicked three points respectively, and said: "Major General Konoe, look at the formation of Sekigahara. The terrain is divided into Mt. Matsuo, Mt. Nangong, and Mt. Sasao, and they are distributed by pin characters. , the Oda army is guarding the mountain, and they can rely on the mountain to hold it, and they can overlook the overall situation from a high position."
"The Oda Army's main formation is located at Mount Tenman in front of Mount Sasao. Although the mountains in front of Mount Tenman are gentle, and there are plains for decisive battles, but if our army directly attacks Mount Tenman, it will be easily attacked. .Sasao Mountain, Matsuo Mountain, and Nangong Mountain, the Oda army is attacking from three sides."
Li XiaotingAfter Tokugawa Ieyasu's analysis, he immediately understood that if he wanted to attack the Oda Army's main formation.
For example, it is like directly inserting into the center of three mountains arranged in a horoscope and attacking Mount Tenman. The left, right and rear sides are all vulnerable to attacks by the Oda Army from Mount Sasao, Mount Matsuo, and Mount Nangong. attack.
This is obviously a taboo for military strategists.
In the historical Sekigahara Formation, Ishida Mitsunari also used this terrain to set up the Crane Wing Formation, using this formation as a bait to lure Tokugawa Ieyasu into his pocket.
Judging from the formation of the battle situation, the Western Army had an absolute advantage. During the Meiji Era, Japan invited military adviser Major Mitchell. After looking at the battle of Sekigahara and the formation diagram of the two sides, he had no doubts. Hesitantly asserted that the Western Army would win.
It¡¯s just a pity that the final result
The Maori army on Nangong Mountain sat and watched, eating lunch all day long.
And on Matsuo Mountain, Kobayakawa Hideaki, the God of War in Sekigahara, appeared out of nowhere and shouted that justice lies with the Eastern Army, so Ishida San's achievements were decisive.
Li Xiao looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
So Li Xiao thought, now that he is in Tokugawa Ieyasu's position, and now he is commanding this battle, should he imitate Tokugawa Ieyasu in his time, with a main force of 60,000, and go straight to the Tenman Mountains to fight the decisive battle with the Oda Army's main formation?
