Cao Cao was responsible for the specific tactical arrangements and command. After hearing Lu Xuan's arrangements, he adopted the same strategy and directly arranged for archers and catapults to attack at the same time. The black bows and arrows fell and flew towards the fence tower.
More rocks flew through the air and hit the fence.
The city wall can withstand the attack of stones, but the wooden fence cannot withstand it at all. Just like this, the moment Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the attack, he retreated with Tsukama Kazuo and returned to the camp to take command.
A dense barrage of bows and arrows were first fired into the camp, suppressing the Japanese soldiers in the camp. Then, another big stone fell, hitting the entrance of the camp and smashing the camp's defense line.
Tokugawa Ieyasu also had archers and ordered a counterattack, but was suppressed and unable to form an offensive.
A large number of Ming troops began to rush forward.
Tokugawa Ieyasu looked serious when he saw this scene. Because Lu Xuan's army is too fierce and difficult to deal with. He glanced around and saw that Lu Xuan's army began to approach the camp, and the bows, arrows and stones suddenly stopped.
A large number of troops came in.
Tokugawa Ieyasu thought, Lu Xuan could attack, why didn't he attack?
He has more troops.
He has more than 40,000 elite soldiers, all of whom are recruited elites.
Tokugawa Ieyasu had an idea for a moment, no longer hesitated, and said decisively: "Attack, attack with the whole army! Today is the time for us to have a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains, attack with the whole army."
Fighting on the battlefield often involves no special skills, and is just a direct melee between the armies of both sides. After the melee, whoever has extra cavalry can send them to cover up the attack, or whoever has tiger generals can arrange for a sudden attack to drive the army's attack.
As for the application of more military strategies, it is about the arrangement of details, and when one's own strength is not enough and one needs to go around in circles, one needs to think harder.
Under the premise that it can be determined by a battle, it is a direct crushing.
At this moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu was furious with Lu Xuan, but in his heart, he still believed that he had enough strength. Even if the military morale of the soldiers is affected to a certain extent, they can still fight to the death.
Lu Xuan had more than a hundred cavalry, but in such a large-scale fighting, more than a hundred cavalry could not play a big role.
Therefore, Tokugawa Ieyasu was not afraid at all.
Tokugawa Ieyasu retreated to the rear, and a large number of Japanese soldiers threw the same thing at them and attacked them all. There were no extra means, because Tokugawa Ieyasu was worried that he would be suppressed by Lu Xuan if he used other means.
This type of engagement is most appropriate.
The armies of both sides met and fought together in an instant.
For this attack, Lu Xuan's army was fully mobilized. Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong all participated in the battle. Only more than a thousand elites remained with Lu Xuan to protect Lu Xuan's safety.
When the two sides clashed, the armies, led by Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun, Huang Zhong and others, formed teams and sprinted. Therefore, when fighting the Japanese, looking at the battlefield from a distance, they found that the battlefield collided and fell into a brief pause. .
Both sides are constantly attacking.
There is no way to tell who wins and who loses.
However, if you look carefully for a while, you will find that the Ming Dynasty's army is constantly advancing.
Dian Wei held an iron halberd in his hand and charged through the crowd with two iron halberds, one on the left and one on the right. The iron halberds seemed to cut through the cloth, constantly cutting through the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, killing each of the Japanese soldiers.
Huang Zhong has a long sword, and each blow is powerful and heavy. If he strikes a person's body, he will either die or injure him. There is no single enemy that can defeat him.
The same goes for Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun and others.
Throughout the battlefield, under the leadership of these peerless tiger generals, Lu Xuan's offensive was unparalleled, constantly advancing into the Japanese army. Under the continuous cover-up sprint, the morale of the Ming Dynasty army was as high as a rainbow.
Although there were many soldiers on the Japanese side, many of them were grateful to Tokugawa Ieyasu and wished they could serve for Tokugawa Ieyasu. But in the face of a life crisis, not everyone can give up a life-and-death attack.
There are no extra fancy tricks on the battlefield, just a real rush to kill.
Lu Xuan looked at the attack on the battlefield and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, how long do you think Tokugawa Ieyasu can hold on to this army attack?"
Cao Cao said: "One hour at most."
Lu Xuan examined it, shook his head and said: "Our attack this time has forced Tokugawa Ieyasu into a corner. He has no more means. I have been constantly suppressing Tokugawa Ieyasu's morale. On the one hand, I really want to suppress it. "
"On the other hand, it is to further test Tokugawa Ieyasu to see if he has any hidden tricks."
"If he had the means, he would not let me suppress him. So Tokugawa Ieyasu has no means, everything is easy to handle. For most of an hour at most, I feel that Tokugawa Ieyasu will not be able to bear it and will run away again."
Cao Cao thought for a while, nodded and approved Lu Xuan's analysis, and said: "Your Majesty is right, Tokugawa Ieyasu will definitely evacuate if he has no means. Now that we can determine, should we arrange a small number of people in advance to cut off Tokugawa Ieyasu's retreat? ?”
"unnecessary!"
Lu Xuan shook his head.
He looked at the fighting battlefield and said: "The battlefield is vast and dark. It is difficult to find Tokugawa Ieyasu's location. Especially since Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't even use the flag of the king, it is even harder to find. Since it is not easy to find, I’m too lazy to divide my troops. We should devour the Japanese first, which is our top priority right now.”
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Cao Cao also nodded in agreement.
Lu Xuan's arrangement is very stable and does not involve any risks. It is indeed the most suitable.
The two of them stared at the battlefield. Time passed little by little. The Japanese side, which was gradually at a disadvantage, retreated after a large number of Japanese were killed. Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun and others were killing each other back and forth, constantly cutting up the Japanese formations, making the Japanese side almost useless and could only passively defend.
After Tokugawa Ieyasu found out, his expression became even colder, and he felt that the situation was over.
The situation is unfavorable.
His force was more numerous.
He knows this place better.
However, he still couldn't stop Lu Xuan's forceful attack. The last time was during the battle at Toyama Castle. He chose to retreat and fled back in embarrassment. Only three or four thousand people came back.
Now he continues to recruit troops and mobilizes all the surrounding people, and has more than 40,000 soldiers.
Now, he was crushed once again.
Tokugawa Ieyasu felt his mouth dry.
Although he had his own ideas, he couldn't help but look at Tsukauma Kazuo and said, "Tsukama Kazuo, what do you think we should do?"
Tsukama Kazuo felt his scalp numb.
This question is too difficult.
How should he answer?
The current situation is already at an absolute disadvantage. Even though they have more troops, they are suppressed. It can be foreseen that after this defeat, people must be panicked. How can they continue to fight?
It is most likely unstoppable.
The Japanese country may be destroyed.
Tsukama Kazuo wanted to simply surrender, but he did not dare to say so. He could only suggest: "His Majesty the Emperor, I suggest that we fight to the end, which is to continuously weaken Lu Xuan's troops."
"We are here, as long as we can kill Lu Xuan's two or three thousand troops, or further kill more people, we will win."
"Then, if we continue to block him, we will be able to weaken Lu Xuan's power to the minimum."
"When we retreat to Kyoto, we will mobilize the elite resistance from Kyoto to weaken Lu Xuan step by step. In a word, if we are weak, we will use countless human lives to completely crush Lu Xuan."
Tsukaima Kazuo said solemnly: "He has no base camp in the rear and his troops are limited. We must be the ones to win in the end."
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded after hearing this.
This is one way.
For now, it is the only good choice, otherwise the situation will be even worse once we retreat.
Tokugawa Ieyasu did not retreat immediately, but gave the order to continue the attack and ordered the soldiers to fight to the death. Under Tokugawa Ieyasu's personal command and without taking the initiative to evacuate, Japanese soldiers loyal to Tokugawa Ieyasu were still fighting desperately.
Unfortunately, a large number of Japanese gave up and fled everywhere.
Time passed, and two quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye. There were too many Japanese dead and fleeing. The defensive formations of the Japanese side were constantly disintegrating, and the situation was very unfavorable to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was also unable to stabilize.
He can continue to fight, but the problem is that the further he goes, the worse it becomes. Even if a large number of troops fled, the camp he established would restrain him and prevent him from evacuating.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was a cautious and tolerant man.
He gave up the fight and quietly retreated with his men without even giving an order to retreat. After Tokugawa Ieyasu had left, Tokugawa Ieyasu's substitute ordered a retreat, and the army retreated like a tide.
