This cavalry army is the iron cavalry of the Polu Army, but it is the Thousand Corps led by Jia Xin.
It is said to be the Qian Corps.
Now, after absorbing a large number of Mongols and Jurchens, the number has now reached nearly three thousand.
Nan Yong's role here is to monitor and contact, and the main participation in the war is completed by the Jiaxinqian Corps.
It was not the Ming people who attacked the shogunate army.
It had its own magical effect at that time.
It was necessary to attack the shogunate without causing the shogunate army to lose too much blood.
This balance must be grasped well, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to the Polu army.
Since the main task was to monitor communication, Nan Yong did not think about going into battle.
He led a hundred guards at the back.
Jiaxin, Etuhun, and Bagan each led hundreds of horses to form a fan shape and rush towards the right wing of the shogunate army like wolves and tigers.
At this time, Tokugawa Yorinobu was shocked, but among the thousands of troops, he could only send someone to tell the samurai on the right to withstand the impact of the opponent's cavalry, otherwise the formation would be in danger of collapse, and both sides on the battle line were still in danger.
In Anxiety, there is no way to retreat, otherwise it will be a complete defeat and annihilation of the entire army.
The shogunate army only had more than 400 cavalry to meet them.
They were mainly composed of 200 cavalry from the Kii clan, supplemented by other cavalry groups.
These were the cavalry.
Normally, a military force of more than 20,000 people would not be so miserable.
There are only cavalry for more than 20,000 people.
However, the Japanese shogunate valued cavalry very seriously and often regarded it as a sign of disloyalty.
Therefore, many vassal states abandoned cavalry.
Just to tell the shogunate not to cause trouble for them.
In the vassal state, only a few dozen cavalry are often used for exploration and communication.
Where can a large group of cavalry come from at this time?
The shogunate cavalrymen riding Kai war horses and wearing leather armor were brave.
They shouted and rushed towards the cavalry, which was several times their size.
It's a pity that the Kai war horse is a dwarf horse compared with the opponent's Shijima horse.
Moreover, because the horse is short and weak, the rider is often unable to wear iron armor.
On one level.
The two sides first exchanged arrows.
The heavy arrows of Xin Bagan's cavalry could break armor and do great damage to cavalry, while the power of the vassal soldiers' cavalry bows could only break through leather armor and injure people and horses.
During the crossbow shooting stage, the Jiaxin Division had the upper hand.
The two armies met and started a hand-to-hand fight.
The cavalry of the Jiaxin Division was so condescending that the opponent could not defeat them.
The Kaxin Division only suffered dozens of casualties before engulfing the more than 400 cavalrymen.
The cavalry of the Gaxinqian Corps continued to move forward.
They approached the shogunate army only a few dozen steps away, and both sides began to attack each other.
The sound of bows and arrows being fired and arrows breaking through the air kept ringing, and dense arrows were passing through the air.
The Japanese's walking bows are not considered strong bows or crossbows due to their body and arm strength.
In addition, the Japanese's iron armor equipment is not common.
Most of them are leather armor and bamboo armor, so their arrows have limited damage to the armor.
In order to move forward with light cavalry, the Jiaxinqian Corps did not wear iron armor this time, but the leather armor plus the outer leather robes were equivalent to double-layered leather armor protection.
The Japanese's walking bows and arrows could at most break the armor and injure them, which could not be fatal. of killing.
And the Shidao horses they sat on were all wearing leather armor.
The Japanese arrows could only slightly injure the Shidao horses and did not affect the running of the horses.
These Jurchens and Mongolians did not rush directly towards the military formation.

They kept firing bows and arrows at the Japanese along the opponent's military formation at a distance of forty or fifty steps to kill their opponents.
The Jurchens' heavy arrows were powerful armor-piercing weapons at this distance.
The leather armor and bamboo armor commonly equipped by the Japanese had little defense against heavy arrows.
They howled and fell to the ground one after another.
At this time, the results of the battle caused by the Kashin-chien Corps were really like the effect of a platoon of guns.
They fired dozens of steps along the front of the opponent's military formation.
Wherever they went, the Japanese vassal soldiers on the opposite side fell to the ground.
Of course, this situation of being beaten was unbearable.
The warriors at all levels hurriedly ordered the army to rush forward to shorten the distance with these cavalry.
The problem is that the opponent's cavalry is more mobile and more experienced.
As soon as it sees the Japanese's military formation, it immediately retreats, keeping this distance unchanged and never falling into the formation easily.
Before these Jurchens surrendered to the Polu army, they fought in this way with the Ming people.
Direct attack on the military formation would cause too much damage, so they always acted like this.
They were very familiar with this set of tactics.
Of course, this is not easy to do when encountering the Polu Army, because the range of the Polu Army's muskets is too far, and you can attack them outside the range of their riding bows.
This process is definitely uncomfortable.
But when encountering a Japanese battle formation where the range of their foot-bows was the same as their mounted bows, this method of warfare was really competent and enjoyable.
Arrows like locusts flew into the military formation, knocking down the two layers of shogunate troops outside, and completely cut off two layers.
There were dead and injured ashigaru soldiers everywhere, and their cries shook all directions.
There were signs of collapse of the entire right wing, but the morale of the already crumbling Choshu vassal soldiers was greatly boosted.
They fought bravely with the shogunate army.
They could see clearly now that they and the shogunate army's right wing could hold on. longer.
Now it seems that they have an advantage.
The left wing of the Choshu clan, which was about to collapse, is facing the right wing of the shogunate army that has been severely damaged.
At this time, most of the right wing of the shogunate army has been divided to block the cavalry attack, and the remaining left wing is enough The light attack power is greatly reduced.
How can I devote myself to attacking when there is a strong enemy behind me?
In this way, the left wing of the Choshu clan was stabilized, not to mention the center and right wing.
The right wing even forced the opponent to retreat.
Everyone in the Choshu clan now felt that they were the ones who could persevere to the end.
The front of the Choshu clan has stabilized, and the shogunate army has some problems.
The vassal soldiers on the right wing had suffered nearly a thousand casualties.
Not only were some people falling down and injured, but the ground was covered with casualties.
All this stimulated the nerves of other vassal soldiers.
These vassal soldiers are not the vassal soldiers of the Tokugawa family, they are just here to make soy sauce.
The Tokugawa shogunate ordered the recruitment, and they had to come to help, but how strong their fighting spirit is is a question mark.
If it was a smooth battle, that would be no problem, they would be fierce and powerful, but now that they were passively beaten and unable to fight back, they finally couldn't resist and began to retreat.
One-fifth of the casualties were lost, and this casualty was enough.
The feudal soldiers retreated from the front, as far away from these cavalry in strange costumes as possible.
As for who is on top, as long as it is not on top of themselves, it will be fine.
The dead Taoist friends will not die.
Pindao.
They fled, and behind them, Jiaxin, Etuhun, Bagan and others urged their cavalry to follow them.
They still adopted the old method of not getting close to hand-to-hand combat, keeping a distance to drive the feudal soldiers to run around, and using cavalry bows to solve the problem.
At this time, Tokugawa Yorinobu saw that something was not going well and sent a reserve team of 5,000 people to the right wing to support the already crumbling defense line.
However, it was still a step too late and the front line began to collapse.

Five thousand vassal soldiers blocked the defeated troops in front.
In order to escape the armor-piercing heavy arrows that kept coming from behind, the defeated troops in the front desperately tried to break through the obstruction of these vassal soldiers.
The two sides even broke out in a fight, with swords and guns facing each other.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
After all, the blocking vassal soldiers were not as fierce as the defeated troops in front.
In the end, the defeated troops broke through the defense line.
There was no way to do it.
The heavy arrows of the cavalry behind were too brutal.
The arrows were bloody, and there was no way to survive behind.
The fleeing troops completely broke the formation of these five thousand feudal soldiers and scattered them in all directions.
Kashin and other cavalry troops drove them from behind.
If any feudal soldiers ran too far, they immediately shot them.
These defeated troops were driven towards the Kii clan's military formation in the middle.
At this moment, Tokugawa Yorinobu, who was so ambitious just an hour ago, almost lost his breath and turned his nose.
After all, he was still a miscellaneous soldier.
How could these small feudal lords train the feudal soldiers?
After all, after a long time, the soldiers who came out were all miscellaneous, and there was no such thing.
A little bit of samurai spirit.
At this time, he forgot that this was exactly what the Tokugawa family wanted.
The weaker each feudal clan was, the more relieved the Tokugawa family was.
Many small vassals also gave in to what they wanted, stating that they would never do anything against the shogunate.
They neglected to train their vassal soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was naturally low.
Facing the surging flow of people, Tokugawa Yorinobu gritted his teeth and ordered to kill without mercy.
After receiving the order, the Kii Domain soldiers immediately faced each other with swords and guns, and their swords and swords were bloody.
They were absolutely unambiguous, and they just couldn't let the defeated troops disrupt their position.
For a moment, the defeated soldiers who ran into them fell dead.
The ones behind them saw that something was not going well and had no time to fight with Kii Fan.
They all took a detour and fled.
Like a black-gray river, the defeated soldiers bypassed the stubborn rock of Kii Domain's military formation and charged eastward.
At this time, any attack was just a cloud, and all attacks on the Choshu Domain stopped.
The Choshu Domain took the opportunity to form a team, and the more than 4,000 feudal soldiers who were still alive surrounded the remaining 3,000 people of the Kii Domain.
The feudal soldiers on the left wing of the shogunate army had been repelled by the fierce Choshu Domain Shinjōbei in front, and they began to flee, being coerced by the fleeing feudal soldiers.
Etuhun led nearly a thousand cavalry behind them to cover up and kill them, rushing eastward like a herd of cattle and sheep.
The wilderness was full of fleeing soldiers of various vassals, and behind them were people whistling and grazing.
Such leisurely herdsmen.
And Jia Xin and Bagan led the remaining cavalry to surround the military formation with the Sanye Kui family pattern.
This was the biggest gain this time.
The only shogunate army that remained intact was the Kii Domain and the Tokugawa clan soldiers of the Owari Domain, which numbered less than four thousand.
They moved closer together to form a large circular formation.
This was the only formation they could move closer together when facing enemies on all sides.
Ando Chuji had lost his helmet, and Tsukiyo's head was in an extremely embarrassed state.
He looked at the situation around him.
"Lord of the feudal lord, you'd better rush out together with the guards.
This battle will undoubtedly be lost."
There are more than a hundred names in the Kii clan "This domain swears to live and die with the samurai Ashigaru under my command."

Tokugawa Yorinobu held the sword in his hand and said proudly.
It was because of his majestic posture that he did not panic at this time and lost the face of the Tokugawa family.
"Lord, don't worry about us.
I and my subordinates will fight to the death to block the pursuers.
Lord, please leave quickly."
Ando Chuji burst into tears of gratitude, "Nima, even if I meet such a wise master, I will die with no regrets."
However, no matter how much dissuasion by Ando Chuji and others, Tokugawa Yorinobu did not nod and run away, which made him extremely grateful and dared not to fight.
In fact, Tokugawa Yorinobu was already full of guilt.
There were more than a thousand fierce cavalry outside, and hundreds of them rode into the formation.
It was almost impossible to get out.
In this case, it was better to stay in the formation, there were always so many people to protect him.
They are not
