...

When the battle went on the sixth day, the Japanese army finally couldn't hold on.

The number of casualties of the Japanese army was more than the estimates of the Hu Ben Army. They kept using their lives to block the Hu Ben Army's offensive. If they sent a group of people up, they would die, and almost none of them could come back alive. The artillery fire of the Hu Ben Army was so cruel, and the casualties of the Japanese army were of course astronomical numbers.

Even Masato Hirazaki, who cares the least about human life, could not hold on at this time. His troops were basically exhausted. If it weren't for the large amount of cannon fodder filling them, the main force of the shogunate army would have been all over.

On the sixth day's battle, just at noon, the Japanese army on the front line could no longer hold on. On that day, the Hu Ben Army was all the new force. The two battalions in charge of the main attack were Yang Hongwen's Jie's name camp, and the other was Zou Mingjia's Ning's name camp. These two battalions were also old backbones of the Hu Ben Army.

The deputy commanders of these two battalions, Lei Shenzhou and Feng Jianjun, rushed to the front. In order to engage in close combat with the Japanese army, the Hu Ben Army troops equipped the machete in a short time. This powerful machete is the best weapon to deal with the Japanese samurai sword. No matter how you come, as long as you pick it up, you can cut half of the opponent's body.

However, Lei Shenzhou and Feng Jianjun's machete were not useful. As soon as they rushed to the front of the Japanese army, the Japanese army was completely defeated. The Japanese army, which had been beaten to pieces, no longer had the ability to resist. They threw down all their weapons and equipment desperately and fled backwards.

The soldiers of Jiezi Camp and Ningzi Camp immediately rushed up like a tide, expanding the breakthrough. It was too late for the Japanese troops on both sides to detour and fill the gap. After six days of hard fighting, the central gap of the Japanese army was finally broken. The time for the Hu Ben Army cavalry to be dispatched has come.

"Strike!"

Zhang Zhun waved his hand decisively.

The Hu Ben cavalry, who were waiting for the battle, immediately activated the war horses and swarmed towards the breakthrough in front. Fierce sounds of horse hooves seemed to be ringing the drum of victory. The fleeing Japanese army became even more panicked. The Japanese army on both sides were also in chaos.

The cavalry of the Tiger Cavalry led by Zhong Wuying were the first to jump out of the breakthrough. They skillfully manipulated war horses and bypassed the Japanese corpses everywhere, as well as debris, weapons, and flags everywhere, and attacked the Japanese army's rear. From time to time, they waved their sabers to kill the Japanese army.

The Dragon Cavalry Camp, the Leopard Cavalry Camp, and the Mongolian cavalry all rushed up, following the Tiger Cavalry Camp, and continuously advanced towards the rear of the Japanese army. Half an hour later, the large forces of the Tiger Cavalry all surpassed the Japanese defense line and appeared in the depths of more than ten miles behind the Japanese defense line. At this time, the overall situation was destined.

Without Matsui Daisuke's order, the Japanese army on the entire front had to retreat. If they continued to stay, they would be divided and surrounded by the Hu Ben Army and then annihilated each one. Under the oppression of the Hu Ben Army, the retreat of the shogunate army quickly turned into a great defeat. The officials could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the officials, and they were in a mess.

"Baga!"

"Stop!"

"Don't run away!"

Masato Kaichi shouted fiercely.

"Chirr!"

A string of bullets flew from somewhere and hit Masato Kaichisa.

Before he could react, his body became weak and he knelt on the ground with one leg. He could vaguely see that on the side of his body, some cavalry of the Tiger Army seemed to appear.

"I hate you..."

Masato Kaichi murmured unconsciously and then fell to the ground.

"Run!"

Abe Yuki shouted in panic.

Contrary to Masato Hirasaki, what Abe Yuki thought of was to preserve his strength. He knew very well that even if he defected to the Japanese royal family in the future, as long as he had an army in his hands, he would get better treatment.

"Retreat!"

Matsui Daisuke had no choice but to order.

"Chase!"

Lu Xiangsheng ordered without hesitation.

"kill!"

The Hu Ben Army sang all the way, chasing a duck.

The completely defeated Japanese army had no idea of ​​resistance. What they most hoped to do was to escape from the sky. After several days of pursuit, the 400,000 Japanese army, with less than 50,000, fled back to Edo. These remaining Japanese army deployed defenses around Edo and tried to make the final dying struggle.

News of the defeat of the Tokugawa shogunate soon spread throughout Japan. The Japanese royal family took the opportunity to launch activities to win over local powerful factions that supported the shogunate. Soon, other regions outside Edo claimed allegiance to the Japanese royal family. At this point, the Japanese shogunate had reached the brink of destruction. What awaited it would be the last blow of the Tiger Army.
