A Tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 280 14. Murasaki Shufang Enters the Hub, Takeda Daizen Appears

"Murakami's defense has been put into action." Naoesugi Kagetsuna saw Murakami's main camp rushing out a hundred cavalrymen again.

"Yamato, how about a bet? How long will it take for Murakami's defense to be disbanded?" Uesugi Terutora finally waited for Murakami Yoshikiyo to take the bait.

"Your Highness has already won the game, do you want to win another round?" Naoesugi Kagetsuna was unwilling to do so. It was obvious that Murakami Yoshikiyo was starting to make a stupid move, so he didn't want to bet.

"Hahahaha, Izumi, I leave it to you." Uesugi Terutora pointed his finger, and Kakizaki Kageie didn't go out immediately without saying anything.

Murakami Yoshikiyo also felt something was wrong when he saw Kakizaki Kageie go out, but there was nothing wrong with Murakami Yoshitoshi's hundred cavalrymen coming to help and Kakizaki Kageie also going out to intercept.

He looked at the battle situation horizontally. The troops in the front line did not show obvious signs of decline. The Uesugi army's offensive was like waves, but the Murakami army was not spared in vain. For two hours, both of them were restrained and kept the general reserve.

Even if there are any emergencies, there should be no problem in dealing with them, but Murakami Yoshikiyo didn't understand where the uneasiness in his heart came from.

While he was thinking, the fifty cavalrymen of the Uesugi army who surrounded Murakami Yoshikatsu saw the Murakami cavalry rushing over, and they were very "sensible" to withdraw the encirclement and make way.

The Murakami Yoshikatsu team, who was still holding their breath and resisting desperately, saw that the encirclement disappeared. The energy in his heart was drained all of a sudden. Murakami Yoshikatsu, who originally wanted to organize them to retreat slowly, could not stop the miscellaneous soldiers from turning back and running for their lives no matter how hard he shouted.

However, the arrival of Murakami Yoshitsu's 100 cavalrymen was indeed powerful. Even if the Murakami army ran around, the Uesugi army on the opposite side did not dare to pursue them.

The battlefield changed rapidly. The Murakami Yoshikatsu team, which had already dispersed its formation and lost its fighting spirit, had just arrived at the Murakami main camp. Uesugi Kagenobu joined the fifty cavalrymen who had just retreated and had already arrived!

Murakami Yoshitoshi was certainly not afraid, and shouted, "You've come just in time, meet me!" He called on the Murakami 100 cavalrymen to meet him.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another roar from behind. "Kakizaki Izumi-no-kami is here to ask for advice, you unknown people, get out of the way!"

Murakami Yoshitoshi was originally charging straight at Uesugi Keinobu, but he never thought that there were also Uesugi cavalrymen behind him, and three or four hundred Uesugi cavalrymen attacked the Murakami cavalrymen from both sides.

"The young master is in danger!" Yashiro Masakuni exclaimed.

"I'll go myself! Beat the drums." Murakami Yoshikatsu can die, he is just the second son, but Murakami Yoshitoshi, who has been carefully cultivated and has a great military reputation, cannot die. He is the successor to Murakami Yoshikiyo's career. If he dies, if Murakami Yoshikiyo is not prepared, there will be internal strife in the village.

"Your Highness! Yashiro Masakuni's words of stopping him were ultimately not spoken, as he knew the importance of Murakami Yoshitoshi.

The Marunouchi flag with black stripes on a white background, along with Murakami Yoshikiyo, pierced the enemy army with the rumbling sound of drums. More than 200 Murakami cavalrymen had already warmed up at this moment, and were eager for war.

"The main defense of the Murakami has moved!" Saito Asanobu was overjoyed.

From then on, the Murakami army only had 2,000 fish-like ambush monks and the main team's flag bearer infantry and more than 1,000 Yashiro Masakuni men who did not move.

But Uesugi Kenshin still had 2,000 Kasugayama flag bearers, 1,200 Itanaoe's troops, 600 Saito Asanobu's troops, and 300 Takemata Chikatuna's flag bearer troops. Only more than 2,000 of the more than 6,000 Echigo troops have just set out!

Whoever has more reserves has already grasped the victory!

"Yamato, pass the order, all the resting Kita Shinshu troops will press forward."

"Please attack with all your strength, brother! "Hidemasa Takanari, who had been sitting there for nearly an hour, stood up immediately after hearing this.

"Your Highness, just wait for the news of our army's victory!" Hidemasa Takanari led the samurai who had withdrawn from the northern followers and walked out of the tent quickly.

"Beat the drums, Yamato, you and the Banzhong will break the Murakami army's clearing team (including the ambush) from the flank, you must be quick!"

Before Uesugi Terutora finished his deployment, cheers suddenly broke out in the camp.

"Murakami Bubei has been captured by my Kakizaki Haruie! It's my Kakizaki Haruie's first spear! "

Murakami Yoshitoshi wants to die!

The cavalry in front of Murakami scattered, the young master died in the battle, and they lost all their fighting spirit. They followed the retreating Murakami Yoshikatsu team and retreated backwards, with flags and armors falling.

The retreat was not a large-scale retreat, but with the addition of dozens of cavalry, it became more chaotic for a while.

The middle of the front line of Rakuganji Masakata was hit by the defeated soldiers. The soldiers who had rushed here in a hurry felt the miserable atmosphere of the defeated soldiers. The whole team of soldiers began to scatter and it was difficult to organize the formation.

How could Yamamotoji Sadanaga and Chisaka Kagechika miss such a good opportunity? With long handles in front and bows and arrows in the back, they rushed into the Rakuganji team behind the defeated soldiers.

Kakizaki Kageie and Uesugi Kagenobu defeated Murakami Yoshitoshi, and their morale was high. They saw Murakami Yoshikiyo coming at the right time. The desire for success and victory was very strong, and they joined together and headed Murakami Yoshikiyo rushed forward.

The originally solid horizontal formation of the Murakami army collapsed!

They had just been fighting back and forth, but because of a series of small battles, they finally fell to the Uesugi side.

The drums of both sides also resounded through the sky at this moment, and everyone's trump cards began to be thrown out without hesitation.

The battle line began to become jagged from a parallel line.

The value of samurai, foot soldiers, and even farmers who were temporarily recruited was the same at this moment.

A bullet of only 20 to 30 grams could take away the noble life of a samurai with a family salary of 1,000 kan, or it could wipe out the humble existence of a foot soldier with an annual salary of 5 kan.

The difference between a sword worth hundreds of taels of gold cutting through armor and hemp clothes is only the amount of energy consumed, and there will be no more difference when a sword cuts through flesh.

The brave warriors fell to the ground, and the tenacious foot soldiers were injured and groaned.

The Rakuganji Masakata team collapsed!

In the hell of Avici, blood-red spots were splashed everywhere, and the soldiers who turned around and fled could no longer be called soldiers. They lost all their courage and became pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

The camps of the Murakami teams were in chaos, and no orders came from the main camp except for the drums that were still beating.

"Rakuganji Shaobi has been captured by Takanashi Heibei!"

"Uchiyama Daisuke has been captured by Shimazu Hyogo!"

The 2,000 people in the front of the Murakami army suffered an absolute and heavy blow, and the offensive that plowed the courtyard and swept the caves finally worked.

Murakami Yoshikiyo looked like a madman at this moment, his helmet had been knocked off long ago, and the bloodstains on his face had long dried up. His braids were messy, and his hair was sticky with blood, tangled in strands.

The spear in his hand was so slippery from drinking blood that he couldn't hold it. The precious armor decorated with bear skin, shells and gold was already full of knife marks.

Even with such a brave battle, it couldn't save the defeat of the Murakami army.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" A Murakami cavalryman who was also covered in blood suddenly shouted at Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Murakami Yoshikiyo followed the direction pointed by the hatamoto. On the horizon not far away, one after another fluttering flags and horse emblems appeared under the sunlight.

The flags like the ocean all depicted Takeda's horn!

Minamoto no Aristocrat Takeda Daizen Taifu Harunobu went out!
