The Choshu clan and the shogunate army met on the official road east of Fukuyama Castle, and both sides approached cautiously.
The military formations with fewer people in the west are all flying a three-star pattern, which is extremely uniform.
Even the flag behind the Choshu clan is printed with this unique Maori family crest.
In the middle of the military formation with more people in the east is the black Aoi family crest, which is the imperial family crest of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Of course, the three imperial families Mito, Owari, and Kii also use the same family crest.
The military formation on the east side has more family crests and flags of various colors and styles, which are extremely variegated.
Of course, it also reflects the strength of the people.
They shout and neigh in an extremely flamboyant manner, giving the commander on the opposite side a lot of attention.
The soldiers of the state vassals were under great pressure.
In contrast, the Changshu Domain's military formation was much silent, and some soldiers even looked extremely uneasy.
They looked around as if expecting reinforcements to arrive.
The nearly two thousand new standing troops are much more stable, because they know best the combat power of the two thousand Ming Army cavalry who are hiding, and their task is to persist and persist.
Tokugawa Yorinobu's central army in the military formation observed the thousands of troops of the Choshu Domain, and was extremely satisfied with the silence of the Choshu Domain soldiers.
This clearly showed that the confidence of the Choshu Domain soldiers had been shaken.
Of course, he also knew not to underestimate the Choshu Domain.
After all, how could he dare to raise the banner of rebellion without some confidence?
Moori Xiu must have something to rely on.
"Tadaji Ando, what do you think of the combat strength of the Choshu vassal troops on the opposite side?"
Tokugawa Yoshinobusu sat on his horse and looked at the veteran Chuji Ando on the right.
Ando Chuji took a closer look at the soldiers of the Choshu Domain, "Master Bing, judging from these soldiers, the soldiers of the Choshu Domain are quite elite.
They are much stronger than the ordinary soldiers.
They are the same as those of my domain."
The soldiers are equally powerful."
"Well, the soldiers and armor are complete and the military formation is in order.
They are indeed a strong enemy.
Unfortunately, their numbers are too small.
Our army will definitely win a great victory in this joint battle."
Tokugawa Yorinobu was full of confidence.
His biggest regret in his life was that he did not catch up with the world when the world was in chaos, and together with the old samurai of the Tokugawa family, he killed the enemy and made heroic achievements.
He was not born in the Nagashino battle, and he almost missed the two Osaka battles.
He was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time and could not fight yet.
After that, the Tokugawa family swept across the country with a devastating force.
No force dared to stop the Tokugawa family's army.
As the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, he naturally had no chance to go into battle.
Now he leads more than 20,000 troops to fight against the rebellion of the Choshu clan.
Once he defeats his opponent and puts an end to the rebellion of the Choshu clan, he will surely have a significant mark in the history of the Japanese nation.
He will not be an unknown passerby.
"I would like to wish the master of the family a great defeat of his enemies, the annihilation of the remnants of the Choshu clan, and the great success of pacifying Kansai."
Ando Chuji bowed and gave a small pat.
As the old lady of the Kii clan, he knew the thoughts of the family head.
"Of course, you go and inform the Changshu Domain on my behalf that surrender will save you from death, and those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy.
If the soldiers of the Changshu Domain lay down their armor and surrender now, there is still time."
Tokugawa Yorinobu ordered.

"I obey."
Everyone knows that the other party will not lay down their weapons.
The crime of rebellion is enough to cut off the heads of their whole family.
It is okay for the surrenderer not to kill the villagers and deceive the villagers and women, but the Choshu Domain will never do it.
Those who were fooled would not escape death even if they were demoted to various levels of warriors.
However, an emergency landing before the formation is necessary.
If the opponent's general doesn't think clearly or is coerced by his samurai and finally surrenders, who can tell what will happen at this time.
Ando Tadaji led more than ten cavalrymen to run towards the military formation of the Choshu clan.
Only two hundred steps away from the opponent, the more than ten cavalrymen still shouted at the top of their lungs, just to surrender and avoid death.
They had just shouted more than ten times when several iron cannons roared from the opposite side.
Although they could not hit that far, the intimidation was obvious.
At this time, Yamauchi Nobumasa would not wait for the morale of the feudal soldiers to be weakened.
He rode out with a dozen guards on horseback and ran horizontally in front of his own military formation.
"Soldiers of the Choshu Domain, don't listen to the idea that surrendering will avoid death.
In their eyes, we are rebels.
Once we surrender, we will still die.
For the sake of the lord of the Choshu Domain and the honor of the warriors of the Choshu Domain, we must defeat the opponent.
The rabble took back our Changzhou vassal homeland and killed them."
Yamauchi Nobusa shouted, and all the feudal soldiers also understood that their way to survive now was to defeat their opponents.
As for surrender, it was only a matter of brain teasers.
They shouted, kill, and their morale was high for a while.
Ando Chuji shook his head.
It seemed that he had not deceived these Changshu feudal soldiers.
He turned around and turned around.
Nothing was said next, the two sides still had to fight each other.
The drums and trumpets were blaring, and the shogunate's army began to advance westward.
The sound of their 15,000 men advancing and the sound of their armor clashing masked all other sounds on the plain.
There are still five thousand people behind to support the advance, and Tokugawa Yorinobu is in the rear formation, and the front is led by Ando Chuji to take the battle.
The soldiers of the Choshu Domain were checking their armor and filling their iron cannons in situ.
The right wing still had more than two thousand new troops, which was their top combat strength.
Of course, Yamauchi Nobumasa had no spare time to set up front and rear formations.
All seven thousand troops of the Choshu Domain went into battle.
Even Yamauchi Nobumasa was at the front.
He hoped that his leading the way could inspire the morale of the feudal soldiers.
When the military formations of both sides approached eighty paces, bang bang bang, the more than two hundred new iron cannons on the right wing of the Choshu clan opened fire first.
This attack was a bit sudden, and the iron gunners on the opposite side were caught off guard.
Their iron cannons still had ten steps to reach the firing distance.
Immediately, screams broke out one after another, and more than a hundred iron gunners of the shogunate army in the front row fell to the ground to fight for their lives.
However, the iron gunners in the center and left wing did not fire, and they did not reach their own shooting range.
That is, the range of the new regular fire blunderbuss equipped by the Polu army was slightly farther.
When the military formations of both sides were approaching more than sixty steps, bang bang bang, the roar of iron cannons came one after another.
It was not the drill of the Polu army, and it was impossible to fire in a neat volley.
There were hundreds of iron cannons on both sides in the center and on the left wing, and they were divided into three stages of attack.
Each time they bombarded only a hundred cannons, which was not a very high density.
Although there were iron artillerymen and ashigaru who fell to the ground, they were still on both sides.

Within the acceptable range.
But the short right wing of the new standing army was composed of thousands of iron cannons, which were divided into four rows for intensive bombardment.
The firepower was extremely ferocious, sweeping away all the miscellaneous soldiers of the various daimyo in front of the right wing.
There were almost no iron gunners who threatened the new standing army.
The army is in formation.
The brutal blows of the new standing troops made the vanguard of these miscellaneous soldiers waver.
Fortunately, the warriors at all levels monitored the situation and the military formation continued to move forward.
The two sides experienced two more rounds of iron cannon bombardment, hundreds of vassal soldiers fell to death on the ground, and finally entered the time of close combat.
The three spears of both sides stabbed wildly, leaving maximum damage to the other side.
Miserable screams could be heard one after another along the line of confrontation.
Soldiers kept falling to the ground in pain while covering their wounds.
Some soldiers were directly trampled by the soldiers of both sides.
To death, the front line at this time was extremely bloody and terrifying.
At this time, it was all about military morale and morale.
There was no shortage of these two aspects, and then there was the casualty rate and quantity.
In this aspect, the shogunate army, which had the numerical superiority, had an absolute advantage.
The battle formation in the middle and the left wing of the Choshu Domain began to gradually become unfavorable, and the front line began to move westward.
This was a sign that the Choshu Domain was unable to withstand the pressure and was retreating unconsciously, and it was also a precursor to collapse.
Only the new standing spear formation on the right wing was extremely ferocious, causing the various vassal soldiers who rushed towards them to suffer a bloody blow, giving them the absolute upper hand.
However, due to the retreat of the center army and the left wing, the front line tilted.
If it continued, the new standing army on the right wing might be exposed to the enemy's siege from both sides.
Yamauchi Nobusa had already urged the feudal soldiers to counterattack bravely in the middle army, but they were still repelled by the Kii Domain's standing soldiers in the middle.
The Kii Domain's standing soldiers took advantage of the number of people and pressed forward step by step regardless of casualties.
The Changzhou vassal soldiers in the middle had no backup and could only retreat step by step.
The situation of the entire battle was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Changzhou vassal soldiers, and some scattered vassal soldiers even began to escape.
Tokugawa Yorinobu, who was in the back line, had his lips slightly raised, and he was expecting a big victory.
He was certainly in a good mood, as the Choshu clan was at an end.
At this moment, a large plume of smoke and dust rose up from the northwest horizon, and it seemed that a large group of cavalry was approaching.
The ten cavalrymen of the Kii clan rushed toward the rear in a panic, bringing extremely bad news to Tokugawa Yorinobu.
A large group of cavalry appeared a few miles away.
Their attire was very different from that of the Japanese.
I don’t know where the cavalry came from, but the cavalry that attacked Kii Domain’s exploration team were killed, and it seemed that they were the helpers of Choshu Domain.
Tokugawa Yorinobu's heart sank.
This was bad news.
Just when he was about to win, this unexpected enemy appeared, and his identity was unknown.
This made him extremely palpitating.
Tokugawa Yorinobu immediately ordered the entire army to step up the advance, and must completely defeat the resistance of the Choshu Domain.
When the cavalry arrived, the entire army could face the enemy in one direction.
Under the order of Tokugawa Yorinobu, the shogunate army violently attacked the Choshu clan's military formation as if they were beaten to death.
The Choshu Domain's military formation began to falter, and was broken through by the shogunate army in many places.
Fortunately, hundreds of iron artillerymen on the right wing supported the center with three guns, and the formation was stabilized.
However, the left wing had already begun to collapse.
If the shogunate forces attack again, the left wing is in danger of collapse.
But it was too late, the cavalry had already approached less than a mile from where the two sides fought.
I saw that these cavalrymen had no armor or flags.

They were all wearing leather robes and holding riding bows in their hands.
They were skillfully jumping from one war horse to another at a distance of about one mile.
They were so skilled.
He replaced his mount, which had begun to lose power, as easily as taking a leisurely stroll.
Then a desolate and low horn sounded, and the cavalry immediately urged their horses to run wildly.
The thunderous sound of horse hooves masked all the sounds on the earth.
Large plumes of smoke covered the large group of cavalry and rushed towards the left wing
