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 the attack at all. Just like this, the moment Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the attack, he took Tsukauma Kazuo and retreated, returning to the camp to take command.
.
A dense barrage of bows and arrows first shot into the camp, suppressing the Japanese soldiers in the camp. Then, another large stone fell, hitting the entrance of the camp continuously, 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.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu saw this scene, he looked serious. Because Lu Xuan's army was 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 were 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. It is just a direct melee between the armies of both sides. After the melee, whoever has extra cavalry can be sent to cover the attack, or whoever has tiger generals can arrange a sudden attack to drive the army's attack.
As for the application of more military strategies, it depends on the arrangement of details, and when your own strength is not enough and you need to go around in circles, you need to think harder.
Under the premise of a decisive battle, it would be a direct crushing.
At this moment, although Tokugawa Ieyasu was furious with Lu Xuan, he still believed in his heart that he had enough strength. Even if the morale of the soldiers was affected to a certain extent, they could 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 use other means and be suppressed by Lu Xuan.
This kind of battle is most suitable.
The armies of both sides met and were fighting in an instant.
For this attack, Lu Xuan's army was also 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 by Lu Xuan's side 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 to sprint. 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, one on the left and one on the right, and charged through the crowd. 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 every sword strike is powerful and heavy. If it hits a person's body, it will either kill or injure him. No one can defeat him in one blow.
Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun and others are the same.
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's army was like 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. However, in the face of a life-threatening crisis, not everyone could give up life and death to 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, and 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 other hidden tricks."
"If he had the means, he would not let me suppress him. So Tokugawa Ieyasu has no means and everything is easy to handle. For most of an hour at most, I feel that Tokugawa Ieyasu will not be able to hold on 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. Let’s devour the Japanese first, that’s 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 people back and forth, constantly cutting up the Japanese formations, causing the Japanese to retreat.
One side has almost no offensive power and can 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 troops are more numerous.
He knows this place better.
However, in the face of Lu Xuan's forced attack, he still could not stop him. The last time, during the battle at Toyama City, 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 was dry.
Although he had his own ideas, he couldn't help but look at Tsukaima Kazuo and said, "Tsukama Kazuo, what do you think we should do?"
Tsukauma 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's most likely unstoppable.
The Japanese country may be destroyed.
Tsukauma Kazuo wanted to simply surrender, but he did not dare to say so. He could only suggest: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we fight to the end to continuously weaken Lu Xuan's troops."
"As long as we can kill Lu Xuan's two or three thousand troops here, or further kill more people, we will win."
"Then, if we continue to block him, we will definitely 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 our strength is weak, we will use countless human lives to pile it up and completely crush Lu Xuan."
Tsukauma 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 the premise that Tokugawa Ieyasu personally commanded and did not take the initiative to evacuate, the 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 Japanese. The defensive formations of the Japanese side were constantly disintegrating, and the situation was very unfavorable to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was also unsettled.
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 flee, the camp he established will restrain him and prevent him from evacuating.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was a cautious and tolerant person.
He gave up the fight and quietly led his men to retreat without even giving an order to retreat. After Tokugawa Ieyasu had left, Tokugawa Ieyasu's substitute gave the order to retreat, and the army retreated like a tide.
