Chapter 292 25. The Battle Is in a Stalemate

"The bullet seems to have made a breakthrough." Uesugi Terutora's mind was always on the battlefield, and he was the first to discover the hesitation of the Takeda Army's Arusha Team.

It's not that others don't have good eyesight like Uesugi Terutora, but the hundreds of iron cannons on Koyata's side and Arusha Hikosaburo's side fired thousands of projectiles. The blue-white smoke covered the sky and the ground. No one on the front line could see the battle situation within a few dozen meters.

On the contrary, Uesugi Terutora and Yamauchi Yoshiharu, who were still a little further away, had a bird's-eye view and could see it clearly.

The Takeda Army's Arusha Team's speed of spending money was obviously not as fast as Imagawa Yoshichika, who didn't feel sorry for selling his father's land. He was so excited when he saw the Takeda Army screaming and howling at the iron cannon.

He didn't allow others to give orders at all, and he shouted "Shoot! Shoot!" very happily. He didn't care about the smoke at all, but enjoyed the pleasure of throwing money at people.

After firing more than ten rounds from each cannon, the barrels were already burning and they could not fire any more. Imagawa Yoshichika then retreated reluctantly.

Anyway, everyone looked at him and he was full of excitement. He seemed to have won a great victory.

"Your Highness Enshu has worked hard. Now let's see how you all perform."

Iwase Motomasa and Kanai Aigoro, who had rested enough, were ready to charge forward.

Imagawa Yoshichika looked at Kobayata and Iwase Mototaka with an eager look. He seemed to have realized a new way of fighting.

No matter what his opponent was like, he would fire at him with saturated firepower first, and then fire at him again if it was not enough. He would beat you dizzy, and then lead others to fire at you. Even if you didn't die, you could still bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh.

Looking at Imagawa Yoshichika's appearance, Kobayata thought he could let him follow the team and try to charge forward once. Although he had to be protected, training was also necessary.

The Iwase father and son were the deputy generals assigned by Yamanouchi Yoshiharu to Imagawa Yoshichika. Their mission was to assist Imagawa Yoshichika in the war and to train him into a qualified samurai. Naturally, they also agreed to let Imagawa Yoshichika follow the large group of people to experience the war.

The roar stopped, the sound of arrows shooting became sparse, and the noise of the Takeda army on the opposite side finally came over.

It seemed to be a sentence like "Lord Aburakawa died in the battle!"

"Huh?" Everyone couldn't help but calm down and listen carefully.

It was indeed the sentence "Lord Aburakawa died in battle!"

The clever samurai under Imagawa Yoshichika suddenly shouted, "Imagawa Totomi-no-kami Yoshichika, a descendant of the Seiwa Genji and a branch of the Kawachi Genji, killed Takeda's general Aburakawa Hikosaburo Noburen! Imagawa Yoshichika has made a name for himself!"

This shout stunned Imagawa Yoshichika, but everyone thought about it and realized that it was indeed Imagawa Yoshichika who shouted to shoot. According to the convention of this era, although Aburakawa Hikosaburo didn't know which iron cannon foot soldier killed him, the credit can only be attributed to Imagawa Yoshichika!

"Lord Toshu has made a name for himself, why don't you go out quickly." Kobayata reacted and first confirmed the credit, and then told everyone that the main general of the Aburakawa team was dead, why don't you go up quickly!

And the remaining Imagawa soldiers also followed suit and shouted the news that Imagawa Yoshichika had killed Aburakawa Noburen.

Takeda Harunobu couldn't see the situation on the left wing clearly. He only knew that the Yamauchi army cheered and shouted that Nobuyuki Aburakawa had been killed. How could he know that the Yamauchi army only spent money to kill Nobuyuki Aburakawa, and didn't even break into Takeda's left wing camp.

In a hurry, the Morokaku team and the Hatsukano team attacked more vigorously, and the Saegusa Kankaiyu who was close to the small surnames also joined the attack on Yamauchi Yoshikatsu who blocked the two parts of Takeda. It seems that they will not stop until they break through the blockade, and they look very hard.

And Takeda Nobuharu also found something wrong. The Yamauchi army of the dog thieves is too rich. Do they need 500 iron cannons to fight 600 people? He has more than 4,000 people, but only one or two hundred iron cannons, and they haven't gathered them together.

Now it is clear that Nobuyuki Aburakawa has been killed, and it is very likely that the Aburakawa team will collapse. This matter is not going to end well.

What about 500 iron cannons? I'm afraid it's not that Yamauchi Yoshiharu's main team has joined the battle, who else can it be? He, Takeda Nobuharu, must deal with it personally.

His mind raced, and Takeda Nobuharu felt that the main attack direction of the Yamauchi army must be in front of the Aburakawa team. His battlefield judgment was quite accurate, and he almost never made a mistake.

But he didn't know that this time, the Asahina people on the opposite side were rookies, the Imagawa people were also rookies, and Kobayata's Renkawa people were the first rookies, and they were not the main force. Takeda Nobuharu's judgment was wrong for the first time because of the 500 iron cannons.

"It seems that the noble son has made a name for himself." Uesugi Terutora felt the opportunity.

"It's just his luck, hahahahaha, not worth mentioning." Yamauchi Yoshiharu smiled even more, saying that it was not very good, but he was still very happy that his son had made a contribution.

"Prime Minister, did you find that the Takeda camp was frequently mobilized?" Following the direction of Uesugi Terutora's whip, Yamauchi Yoshiharu also looked carefully.

The two of them could clearly see the situation of Takeda Nobuharu's main force rushing to the aid of the Aburakawa team from a high place, and Takeda's left wing finally had a flaw.

"You can attack from the flank with all your strength!" Yamauchi Yoshiharu agreed with Uesugi Terutora's idea of ​​taking advantage of your weakness to kill you.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu thought for a moment and pulled out the remaining 500 people from the Ejiri and Hatamoto tribes.

"You all should go to support the Kiso tribe immediately, and you must defeat the enemy in front to show your military prestige."

This gave Matsushita Masagaku of Ejiri an opportunity. He was one of the Ejiri tribesmen who actively approached the Yamauchi clan, so that when others went up to give their heads, he could still watch the show from the side.

"Your subject obeys the order!" Matsushita Masagaku led 500 men out of the main force, and the Yamauchi army now had no more reserve troops to deploy.

All that was left was to wait and see which side the God of War favored more.

Iwase Motomasa and Kanai Aigoro had also been involved in the suppression of the chaotic Aburakawa team, but unfortunately this situation did not last long. With the support of Takeda Nobuharu, the defense of the Takeda army became more solid.

The Yamauchi army eventually fell into a bitter battle, and it turned into a cruel situation of close combat.

At this moment, all the ingenious strategies would no longer have any more effect, and the talents and virtues of the generals were no longer important. The trump cards of both sides in the battle have basically been played out, and the only things left are real swords and guns, and every sword will draw blood and every gun will penetrate the flesh.

"It seems that my old bones still need to move! Your Highness?" Iwase Mototaka saw that the troops who broke into the Takeda army were insufficient, so he prepared to help his son and take Imagawa Yoshichika to see the world.

"Since the old man has gone out, let's go out too!"

"Tatsuzo, Nanaki, hold up my horse flag, and let's go meet Takeda Nobuyuki."
