Masatori Oda replied: "Master Sakai's 80,000 Kansai army has sealed the valley entrance from behind the Ming Dynasty army. To use an ancient Chinese saying, the Ming Dynasty army is now in the jar."

"Okay, that's great." Tokugawa Ietsuki said happily, "This time, people in the Ming Dynasty could not fly even if they had wings."

Tadatsushi Aoyama on the other side also slammed: "It's so arrogant. These Ming dynasty people are so arrogant. They are simply extremely arrogant! Knowing that the terrain of Uenohara's canyon is not good for them, they still dare to drill in. They didn't take our hundreds of thousands of shogunate troops seriously."

Only Tatsuka Doi's face looked a little solemn.

The Ming Dynasty army entered the canyon so easily, which was somewhat beyond his expectations. Originally, he thought that the Ming Dynasty army would definitely stay at the western end of the canyon for a period of time, and then decided whether to cross the canyon after checking the terrain. But what was surprising was that the Ming Dynasty army actually drove directly into the canyon. Are the Ming Dynasty people really just arrogant?

Tokugawa Iemitsu pulled out the samurai sword, slashed forward, and said viciously: "Inaba Masayoshi!"

Daming, dressed in a warrior, stepped forward and knelt on one knee and replied, "I'm here."

The samurai is named Masayoshi Inaba, and is the second son of Tokugawa Iemitsu Haruhikawa Iemitsu. Masayoshi Inaba and Masayoshi Inaba have been accompanied by Tokugawa Iemitsu since childhood. Although the three of them are not brothers, their relationship is better than brothers. After Tokugawa Iemitsu took office, the two brothers became his hard-core confidants and were successively named Danames.

Tokugawa Iemitsu: "Tipped the 20,000 troops of the Shinbi Bian clan blocked the valley entrance and blocked the possible attack of the Ming army."

"Hi!"

Inaba Masayoshi responded with a loud promise and took the order.

Tokugawa Iemitsu said again: "Toda iron."

Toda Shishi Teng said: "I am here."

Tokugawa Iemitsu: "Lead the troops of this vassal and are ready to pick up Inaba Jun at any time."

Toda Railway: "Hi!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu and said: "Matsuhira Nobusuke, Itankura Shigemasa."

Two more great names came out and said: "I am here."

Tokugawa Iemitsu: "Lead our troops to dig trenches at the entrance of the valley to set up obstacles."

Because he was afraid of the Ming army changing routes, the shogunate army did not dare to dig trenches and set up obstacles at the entrance of the valley until now. The Ming army finally entered the canyon, and Tadashi Sakai's Kansai Army had blocked the retreat of the Ming army from behind. The shogunate army could finally feel at ease to go straight.

In the canyon, more than 30,000 Central Ming troops were winding forward along the narrow valley with four columns.

The terrain of Uenohara Canyon is not very steep. Only some sparse bushes have grown on the hillsides on both sides, and there is no way to bury ambush. Moreover, the slope of the hillside is not steep. Although artillery vehicles and supplies cannot go up the mountain, infantry can easily climb over the mountains.

However, the terrain here is indeed unfavorable to the firearm.

The winding canyon is like a heart-warming heart. There is a turning point every few hundred steps. Tens of thousands of troops walk in the canyon, and only a few hundred people can be seen in front, back, left and right. If you really want to fire on this terrain, the shells fired will definitely be blocked by the hillside, and it will be difficult to kill the enemy.

Also, there is almost no flat ground more than ten steps wide in the canyon. If the Central Army wants to line up the shooting line, it has to stand on the hillsides on both sides, because it snowed heavily a few days ago. Although the hillside is not steep, the soldiers can easily slip when standing on it. It is not so easy to shoot in large-scale terrain.

However, Wang Pu was not worried at all.

Due to the slow firing rate and poor accuracy of early muskets, they relied heavily on intensive shooting to form effective killing. However, the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty currently used a new type of rifle, which had rifles, magazines, and sights. Their standards were basically no longer different from modern rifles. Such advanced rifles no longer needed to rely on intensive shooting queues.

What's more, the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty relied on not only general artillery and advanced rifles, but also a sharper melee weapon - the improved Dragon King Cannon! The improved Dragon King Cannon has better blasting effect and stronger lethality. It can detonate with just one pull of a fuse, and no longer needs to be ignited with a fuse like the previous Dragon King Cannon.

As early as the beginning of his decision to march Uenohara, Wang Pu had already chosen the appropriate tactics.

As a time traveler, even if Wang Pu doesn't understand military affairs, he has always read many books and movies. With his knowledge accumulation, even if he doesn't know much about the tactics of firearms, he can definitely be regarded as an outstanding conductor compared to the ancients of this era!

Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, Li Dingguo galloped over by his own soldiers.

Li Dingguo stopped and replied loudly: "Prince, I found the Japanese five miles ahead and were lined up along the canyon. It seemed to be trying to stop us from moving forward. According to the scouts, ten miles ahead was the entrance of the valley. At least 50,000 shogunate troops were digging trenches outside the entrance and setting up obstacles. It seemed to be trying to block the way our army was advancing."

"Block the road? How can you do it!" Zhang Yanlin, the commander of the Third Fleet who went out with the army, said anxiously, "Prince, the Japanese in front will be handed over to our Marines. Bei Yi promises you that you will definitely wipe out all the Japanese in less than half an hour and clear the obstacles on the way forward for the army's brothers."

"No, no hurry." Wang Pu waved his hand and said calmly, "It's too late for the Japanese to cut off their way!"

"It's too late?" Zhang Yanlin said in surprise, "Then... won't fight today?"
