The left wing was personally commanded by General Hirota Masaru, who was in charge of the cavalry.
It was originally expected that it could last longer than the left wing.
If the gun ashigaru could break through the Ming army's defense line and cause a collapse of the Ming army, even if the cavalry team lost, it would be considered a great victory.
However, Hirota Masaru's death caused the left wing to collapse first, which left little time for the three shogunate veterans.
When the remaining few hundred riders began to flee in all directions, Ii Naotaka and Doi Toshikatsu already knew about it, while Hota Masamori was still supervising the battle from the front, completely unaware of the impending misfortune.
When Ii Naotaka and Doi Toshikatsu saw the collapse of the cavalry on the left wing, they knew that the battle was a complete defeat.
The spear ashigaru in the middle had suffered huge casualties and had not yet broken through the Ming army's defense line.
The cavalry on the right wing also showed defeat. elephant.
The Ming cavalry on the left wing attacked the unsuspecting Gun Ashigaru from the side and rear, which was fatal.
At this time, Ii Naotaka did not hesitate about the appointment, and immediately sent someone to order Hota Masamori in the front to withdraw his troops for defense.
At the same time, he ordered the 6,000-gun ashigaru array left behind to protect the east, west, north, and west, and cover Hota Masamori's retreat.
Although staying in place to defend is still a tight siege.
The opponent is watched by a large group of cavalry and the shogunate army cannot escape, but it is still much better than an immediate collapse.
Wang Haizhou led more than two thousand cavalry from the left wing to the side of the shogunate army at lightning speed.
The sound of rolling hooves was like a fierce war drum bombarding the hearts of the Japanese.
At this time, the first ones were some withdrawn Japanese slave cavalry, about a hundred people, and more than 300 cavalry guards of various seniors and famous names.
They were ordered to withstand the attack of the Ming army and provide protection to those behind.
Allow more time for the step formation.
When the two armies met, most of the hundreds of cavalry were wiped out by firecrackers and lances.
The scene was bloody and fierce.
The last less than 200 cavalry were immediately overwhelmed by the impact of the Polu cavalry.
At this time, the first line of defense outside had just been established, and hundreds of troops were in formation on the left wing.
Many bow and arrows began to shoot arrows quickly regardless of physical strength, and began to cause casualties to the Polu cavalry.
However, the newly established defense line had not yet completely gained a foothold.
The cavalry of the Polu Army rushed in and slashed and killed them.
They did not even use swords and guns, but were trampled by the impact of war horses.
Just wash away these hundreds of ashigaru.
The ones who rushed here to form the formation were mainly the bow ashigaru who were resting at the back.
There were very few gun ashigaru.
If they faced the cavalry charging into the formation, they would only die of being massacred.
After the massacre and trampling of these Japanese ashigaru, Wang Haizhou found that a large number of gun ashigaru had already set up their battle lines.
A forest of spears stood a hundred steps in front of them, and the cold light made the war horses extremely uneasy.
Wang Haizhou immediately ordered to stop the attack.
Zhao Lie had already given the order, and the cavalry was dueling with the cavalry and took advantage of the chaos to pursue them.
Never rush into the enemy's infantry formation until absolutely necessary, otherwise even if you win, you will suffer heavy losses.
Of course Wang Haizhou obeyed Zhao Lie's order.
Today's cavalry and horses of the Polu Army are the most precious and they cannot afford to lose them.
Today's battle losses have already made him heartbroken.
How can he charge into the spear formation again.
At this time, the Polu cavalry on the right wing had also defeated the shogunate's cavalry, and they were staring at the right wing of the shogunate army.
Hotta Masamori was also successful.
Under all the difficulties, he finally withdrew most of the thousands of forward troops.
Of course, he escaped in an awkward manner and even gave up the hundreds of ashigaru and samurai who were fighting at the front.
They repositioned themselves 200 steps away from the Polu army.
Finally gained a firm footing.

At this time, the shogunate army had suffered losses of over ten thousand, and its morale was devastated.
If it had not been for the strong will to survive, it would have collapsed.
After all, most of the army had been lost, and the cavalry equipment was no longer available.
Everyone knew that this battle would be a complete defeat. .
Zhao Lie saw the actions of the shogunate army in the rear formation and nodded secretly.
If many Ming armies in the mainland were in a state of collapse at this time, the generals would not be able to restrain them at all.
The shogunate army was still able to hold on despite being surrounded by enemies on three sides, which shows that the middle and lower-level samurai played a big role.
Of course, Zhao Lie did not come here to praise the Japanese warriors.
He immediately ordered the cavalry to monitor them, and the cavalry stopped advancing.
After all, the damage caused by the trapped beasts to the Polu army may be great.
Zhao Lie immediately ordered the artillery commander Qian to send out gunners.
With the artillery in their hands, the shogunate army was not afraid even if they all shrank into a turtle shell and could smash it open.
"Two adults, what should we do now?"
Hota Masamori, who retreated from the front, had his headband gone, and Yue took the lead with his hair hanging loosely.
Extremely embarrassed.
His impatience was reflected at this time.
After all, his time as a senior middle school student was too short and he had not experienced many major events, so it was normal for him to feel flustered.
"Now we have to hold on.
We will be subject to darkness no matter what.
As long as it gets dark and spread out, it will be fine as long as we can return to Edo to preserve some standing supplies for the general."
Ii Naotaka had already made up his mind.
This was the only way to go at this time.
As for breaking out during the day and being chased by Akito's cavalry, it would be impossible to escape.
Doi Toshikatsu also agreed with Ii Naotaka's method.
Now this is the only way to go.
Hota Masamori looked at the noon sun in pain.
He still had two hours to endure, and he didn't know if he could endure it.
If Akito ignored the impact of casualties, he would probably be in trouble.
As if he saw Hota Masamori's thoughts, Doi Toshikatsu said, "Don't worry, Akito will not attack with all his strength, otherwise they will suffer more than half of their own casualties.
Although our army is not here, the general will still organize an army to counterattack.
Akito is these Man, as long as General Mingren doesn’t go crazy, he won’t order a forceful attack.”
Doi Toshi's words are true, and Zhao Lie is not crazy, but the Japanese are destined to not be able to watch the dark.
"Lao Naka-sama, Lao Naka-sama..."
An Ashigaru general on duty in the south rushed over in a panic.
"Three adults, Akito is going to bombard us with a big cannon."
The three of them heard a bang in their heads, and they all forgot about the damn big cannon.
Mingren had dozens of them.
If they were to hold on here and Mingren used the big cannon to blast for an hour, all the formations would be destroyed.
It is simply a luxury to hope until dark.
Several people were still surprised, but the roar of Akito's big tube had already started.
The projectiles with a whistling sound landed in the dense crowd of shogunate troops, and the ashigaru were thrown out like rag bags wherever they went.
At this time, in order to form a formation to defend against the enemy, the shogunate troops formed an extremely dense formation.
As soon as the projectiles landed, ten It took several casualties to stop the projectiles, and immediately dozens of blood flowers seemed to bloom in the shogunate's formation.
The three shogunate veterans looked at each other in confusion.
No one could tell what to do.

Boom boom boom, the second round of bombardment started again, and dozens of explosive points appeared.
Wherever the projectiles landed, corpses and parts were left everywhere, as well as horrified ashigaru and samurai.
They could Accepting the fight to death, but unwilling to be torn apart by projectiles.
Ii Naotaka has sent people to inform the various generals, the Ashigaru Generals, to keep the Ashugars away from each other and not to be too dense.
But in order to prevent the Ming army's cavalry and infantry from rushing into the formation, do you dare to make the formation too sparse?
The troops are okay, but there is no way to rush forward.
It allows you to be almost ready, but the cavalry can break through the formation in just a dozen breaths, so no matter how sparse the formation is, it won't go anywhere.
This is not a solution to the problem.
After experiencing another shelling, Doi Toshiki could no longer bear it.
"I'm going to the Ming army for peace talks."
What he said surprised Hota Masamori.
"This loses the dignity of a general."
Hota Masamori was furious.
Why, it is simply unimaginable to let the powerful shogunate army surrender to the always cowardly Akito.
"Then what should we do?
Continue fighting with Akito?"
Doi Toishi looked at him sideways.
Hota Masamori was speechless for a moment.
He wanted to say that of course he would fight, but his words made no sense and only made him a laughing stock.
When the army was at its peak just now, the Ming people's infantry formations were not defeated.
How could they defeat the Ming people now when the morale of the army was scattered?
"It would be good to let Akito's artillery cease for a while.
Of course, it would be better if it can be delayed until dark."
Naotaka Ii sighed.
This sentence meant that he agreed.
In fact, the peace proposal stung him the most.
As the elder of the shogunate, that is, the elder of the pen family, if he still sues for peace after this defeat, he will definitely become the target of public criticism across Japan in the future.
At the same time, he can imagine becoming the scapegoat for this defeat.
But for the survival of the Tokugawa family's strength, this humiliation must be endured.
As for whether the negotiation can be successful or not, it is best not to negotiate.
As long as it can be delayed until dark, any means can be used.
Doi Toshikatsu didn't say much.
If we delay for a long time at this time, more ashigaru will die.
At this time, time really means life.
Zhao Lie was leisurely watching the gunners hit live targets in the back.
This was a great enjoyment, especially for people of later generations.
In later generations, the Japanese army bombed the Japanese air raids.
The majestic China could only endure it bitterly.
How depressing it was, it will be an eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese people in future generations.
Now that he saw the projectiles wreaking havoc in the shogunate's formation, Zhao Lie felt so happy that he couldn't even mention it.
Maybe the bloody storm caused by the projectile among the shogunate army made some people feel sick, but Zhao Lie watched it with gusto.
This was a gluttonous feast, wasn't it?
At this moment, a white flag kept waving in front of the shogunate's formation.
Zhao Lie sneered in his heart, as expected, they were here.
The Japanese are good at using peace talks to delay time.

Later generations have learned this.
They have always raised the white flag for peace talks, which means talks, but I am afraid it is more of a delay.
After all, they, the old Chinese, can't do big things.
Lord, the general has to nod for it to count.
But in order to control the situation in Japan, we still have to talk.
Zhao Lie called Zhao Da to give some instructions, and Zhao Da immediately urged his horse forward.
Doi Toshikatsu watched anxiously as Akito's cannon began to clean its chambers again.
Seeing that a new bombardment was about to begin, but Akito's reply had not yet come, this made him extremely anxious.
At this moment, Akito began to shout, asking them to get there as soon as possible.
If they didn't arrive by the time I burned the incense, the bombardment would begin.
When the interpreter came out, Doi Toshi's heart tightened.
It seemed that their intentions were seen through by Akito. s: Thanks to hostaster and Wu Zi Lai for their precious monthly votes.
