Chapter 131 19. The Chance of Victory or Defeat Has Been Revealed

The cold wind of early February blew on Xiao Pingtai's face like a pair of scissors, but his heart was even colder.

The elite soldiers of Shinshu who launched a fierce attack on the well-positioned 39,000-man Ode coalition army with only 10,000 soldiers in the Nagashino battlefield turned out to be this kind of stuff? Was it because of his poor command or was he born in the wrong era? The fighting power of the Lianchuan people was really pitfall. (In the Nagashino battlefield, the majority of the Shinano soldiers of the Takeda clan were indeed the majority, not the Kai soldiers of the Takeda clan)

The pitfall of Xiao Pingtai, who was caught in the deserters, was miserable and panicked, hugging the horse's neck. If he had not been prepared for the defeat in his heart, he might have shed tears. Sure enough, the army was in chaos and could not turn the tide, so he had to look back at the two wings of the reserve forces of the Yamanouchi chief.

I saw that these two small battle groups of only more than 200 people were extremely flexible. Xiao Pingtai saw that they were fundamentally different from the Lianchuan people.

Seeing that the more than 500 troops under Kobayata's command had been "defeated" very successfully as planned, they threw away their armor and weapons, cried for their parents, and Kobayata himself had his armor crooked and his horse flag dragged backwards, and he felt that the drama had been played enough.

So he swung his sword, and his uncles and brothers immediately understood. Suddenly, they all shouted loudly, exerted all their strength, gathered together and rushed forward with a spear regardless of life and death.

The advantage of the elite troops under the command of Yamauchi was undoubtedly highlighted in an instant. They were tall and strong (the front row was more than 1.5 meters tall), had excellent weapons (guaranteed to be made by famous craftsmen from Minoden and Sagamiden), and had high morale (how could it not be high working for their own family). Although the opposing Jia army was also a standing foot soldier trained by Takeda Harunobu, the foot soldiers were foot soldiers after all. Facing the super-luxury elite lineup with a samurai ratio of more than 30%, they were stunned by the sudden and fierce spear attack.

Saemon Koyamada and Tangomori Komiyayama hurriedly distanced the two armies. What a thing! This thing, Yamauchi Shukei charged with a long spear, and Yamauchi's army didn't kill a single samurai, but he rushed two foot soldiers, and Takeda's foot soldiers fell down in large numbers. Saemon Koyamada and Tangomori Komiyayama were frightened, and hurriedly shouted loudly to call the rear team to come up, and the majority bullied the minority, making up for the huge gap in combat effectiveness between foot soldiers and samurai.

Looking at the troops of Yamauchi Shukei, only a few foot soldiers died, but they actually scared nearly a thousand armored soldiers to retreat dozens of meters.

Xiao Pingtai sighed, "If I had a 500-man full-samurai army, as long as I pulled a few hundred iron cannon foot soldiers, wouldn't I be able to dominate Japan." The combat effectiveness of the samurai is really strong, and it is very different from the small fish at first sight.

Before he finished thinking, the dramatic scene on the battlefield appeared again. The chief accountant of Yamauchi had just won a clean victory, but he turned around and ran away with the team. It was very different from the heroic counterattack just now, as if many people had a last burst of light before death. The outburst just now seemed to have exhausted their courage. Now that they could escape, everyone chose to run for their lives without hesitation.

Even Xiao Pingtai couldn't understand whether it was the chief accountant of Yamauchi's first-class acting skills or the ability to judge the situation. He only knew that the enemy's armor army stopped advancing after two consecutive dramatic developments, began to clean up the battlefield, and celebrated the victory.

After Xiao Pingtai ran out a little more than a mile (about 3,000 meters), he saw that most of the soldiers of Lianchuan had stopped and began to line up under the organization of the public servants. Most of the fellow villagers from various villages and towns were laughing and joking, and they didn't look like they had just fought a bad battle. Some people even came to greet him with a licking face, which was really fucking. Forget it, forget it, it was going to lose anyway, and now it looks like a loss.

Except for the fact that the A army had just entered and more than a dozen people died in the melee, 99% of the Lianchuan people were actually here in one piece. Except for a few people whose fellow villagers died, they would still be sad for a while, and some people were upset that the A army came too quickly and they hadn't even finished their breakfast.

I'm convinced!

All right!

Kobayata asked them to quickly organize their troops under the organization of the public servants and retreat to the rear of Yamanouchi Yoshiharu's main camp to repair.

Then Yamanouchi Shuketou's team came back, and they were even better. When they turned around and ran back, they organized their troops while running. When they ran in front of Kobayata, it was already an army that didn't look like it had just "fled". Of course, most of the weapons, flags, and horses were left on the battlefield. After all, they had to act like "throwing away armor and weapons".

The two people hurried to Yamanouchi Yoshiharu's main camp and asked Yamanouchi Yoshiharu to send Yamabushi or Ranba to check the battlefield situation near Ubukawa. Confirm whether Itagaki Nobukata of the A army really stopped advancing and was cleaning the battlefield to check the heads.

At the same time, the troops of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, who had a large number of troops and strong soldiers, also began to mobilize and were ready to attack head-on at any time.

Kobayata sat in the shogunate, anxiously waiting for Ranba to come and report the results. After all, whether the battle of Uedahara could go as he expected was related to whether he would be ridiculed as a thief in the first independent command of troops.

Soon, the envoys who reported frequently entered the camp. First, Takeda Harunobu's 5,500-man rear-chase main force rushed to the battlefield from Kai and had already set up the main camp on Mount Kurashō. The two armies of Kai and Kai met. The whole army was in high spirits because they heard that Itagaki Nobukata's troops had defeated the front of the Yamauchi army, and they were celebrating and making fire to cook.

Especially Itagaki Nobukata's front army, because there were a lot of Yamauchi army supplies left on the battlefield, they were happily distributing and counting them. As expected, Itagaki Nobukata also began to examine the dozens of heads of the Yamauchi army without any cover on the open field.

Hearing this delightful news, everyone looked at Kobayata with admiration. Sure enough, everything was just as Kobayata expected. Just sending a few dozen small fish allowed the A army to reveal such a big flaw.

However, Takeda Harunobu's Kai main force had already arrived at Uedawara. Now it was the Yamanouchi family's military strength that was at a disadvantage. Should they surprise attack Itagaki Nobukata's troops and then rush in with the whole army? Yamanouchi Yoshiharu stroked his chin and looked at the retainers who were taking action.

He was a little undecided. He first stared at the Caipei in his hand and shook it, as if this Caipei had some special power.

"Opportunities are rare and will never come again!" Kobayata saw that Yamanouchi Yoshiharu had a hint of hesitation and felt that he had to give him a shot in the arm, so he immediately spoke up.

"On the battlefield, soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the most feared thing is doubt and hesitation!" Kitabatake University also spoke.

At this time, a messenger rushed in, "Ejiri Castle Dai Ishiki Miyano is one and a half miles away."

"Tell Miyano to charge at Uzumakawa without joining forces!" Yamauchi Yoshiharu stood up and shouted.

"Samatou, Kobayata, take 500 people and attack Itagaki Suruga!"

"Yes!"

Oh, I've fallen out of the top 600 on the list.
