Chapter 294 27. Fighting for Merit Among Takeda Warriors

What does a fly look like when it sees shit?

Well, this description is a bit disgusting.

Then what does a wild wolf look like when it sees a lion? Generally, it should avoid it. But no matter how strong a lion is, there is only one, while there are a group of wild wolves, so the wild wolf's courage will grow!

What if there is a huge piece of raw meat under the lion's feet? Then the pack of wolves will no longer care about the lion.

Fortune is sought in danger!

When the various tribes heard that Takeda Nobunaga was just a few dozen meters away, no one cared about Takeda Nobunaga's illustrious reputation. All people cared about was how huge the reward would be for killing Takeda Nobuharu and how glorious the military reputation would be.

The various tribes of the Yamauchi army, which had been steady and cautious, jumped. Who could laugh off such an opportunity to become famous in the East?

Even looking at Kanai Aigoro, he has been honing his sword skills for more than ten years. Can you say that this person has a bad character? Not bad at all.

In the winter, he poured ice water directly on his head, practiced swinging swords barefoot in the snow, and even sat under the waterfall to practice balance. In the summer, he chose the hottest time to chop wood, boil water to take a bath, and practice patience.

You can say that this kind of people have suffered countless hardships, and even when they were training in the wild, they could not eat a meal for two or three days. It is really difficult for ordinary external desires to impress this kind of people.

But now you see Kanai Aigoro, he casually threw his not-so-handy long spear to the foot soldiers behind him. He drew the katana from his waist and dared to rush to the spear formation relying on his thick armor.

The katana was full of knife flowers, and the fast people were blinded and could not see clearly.

With just two or three slashes, he cut off half of the long spears that stabbed him, and it was even more useless to poke him with wooden sticks.

After all, even if the best foot soldiers used long spears, they were just made of hardwood cores, and the good ones were wrapped with iron sheets, and the bad ones were wrapped with bamboo skins, and fixed with copper or bamboo strips. The last coat of paint was the bright red paint used by famous samurai and the cheapest varnish used by soldiers.

The wooden stick with the chopped-off spear tip slid away directly when it was poked on the plate armor, and could not hurt Kanai Aigoro at all. He rushed into the Takeda army's foot soldiers with a long sword and killed a foot soldier in front of him.

Iwase Motomasa was also a skilled and courageous man. He saw that the Takeda stables also used "hitting" instead of patting or stabbing, so he made a promise to the foot soldiers under his command and won over several miscellaneous soldiers who were not afraid of death and wanted to make money.

He no longer rode a horse to command, but raised a long spear and joined the foot soldiers who were willing to charge with him. Dozens of people were divided into three rows, holding long spears horizontally, shouting slogans and rushing towards the Takeda army's front.

The opposite Takeda army was not stupid either. When they saw that Iwase Motomasa did not play by the rules, they also reacted.

The best way to deal with an assault is to charge, and the best way to deal with a charge is of course to charge.

If Takeda's stablemaster had a Maxim machine gun, he would have just defended on the spot. At a distance of 20 to 30 meters, how could he not kill dozens of your infantrymen who were sprinting in groups?

Unfortunately, there was no Maxim!

In the era of cold weapons, you still have to fight with your life. Standing still and getting stabbed is not the style of the Takeda army. The aggressiveness is not just talk, it is real.

A group of people from the Takeda army also separated, holding long spears, and wanted to fight the Yamauchi army in a narrow road.

Iwase Motomasa was not afraid of this move. What he wanted was the change of the Takeda army camp on the opposite side, giving him a chance to break through.

These samurai were black-faced, hard-hearted and ruthless. Iwase Motomasa encouraged the soldiers to charge forward, while he and several of his most trusted soldiers held spears and knives and ran to the flanks of the team.

The Yamauchi army and the Takeda army collided violently. The weak armor of the soldiers could not withstand the thrust of the spears. As soon as they collided, countless blood flowers splashed.

The soldiers fell one by one, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed or injured in each army.

However, Iwase Motomasa's strategy had been successful. The Takeda army in this section was caught in a hand-to-hand fight with the Yamauchi army, fighting hand-to-hand instead of a group battle. This allowed the highly skilled warriors like them to start to play, which was a good strategy.

Iwase Motomasa did not have such a high sword technique as Kanai Meigoro, but he sacrificed more than a dozen soldiers and got what he wanted.

In this way, the formation of the Takeda stable team was greatly loosened. Although there were still a few sections of soldiers stabilizing the long spear square formation, more soldiers were caught in hand-to-hand fights due to the fanaticism of the Yamauchi army.

Kobayata was also a little anxious. Such a great achievement was right in front of him, and Kobayata could not help but feel itchy.

But Xiao Pingtai weighed his own weight and looked at his body. He really didn't have much confidence in himself.

"If only Nabenosuke was not nine years old this year but nineteen!" Xiao Pingtai felt uncomfortable. One of the Four Heavenly Kings who had a lifetime of no damage buff was under his command, but it was a pity that he was only nine years old!

"Tanzheng, don't we go up and give it a try?" Nanaki looked at the battle in front of him. Even Asahina Carpenter was trying his best and led his men forward.

"Go up, we must go up! But with the little skills we have, we will just be sent to the battlefield!" Xiao Pingtai rolled his eyes at Nanaki, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Then we can't just watch Danzheng here!" Nanaki witnessed Xiao Pingtai's attack on the Takeda army in Uedahara that year. He knew that Xiao Pingtai was not lacking in courage. It was just that compared with those samurai who specialized in chopping people, his martial arts reputation was not high.

"Why rush? It's useless for us to go up now. The masters in the previous period have all used their special skills."

Kobayata could see clearly that none of the people in front of the battle line were good guys, and anyone who could take a gun to the battle line did so. The famous and unknown samurai servants had their eyes almost shining, and rushed towards Takeda Nobuyuki without regard for their lives.

"Dan Zheng, the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits?" Tatsuzo was also very surprised that Kobayata didn't come up.

"Do you think it's a snipe and the clam fighting now? It's obviously a pack of wolves fighting a tiger. We are at most a thin wolf. Do you still want to be the fisherman?" Kobayata held his forehead with his hand.

Takeda Nobushige in the battle line was secretly happy when he saw the Yamauchi army fighting so bravely. Sure enough, his judgment was not wrong at all. He was definitely facing the main force of the Yamauchi army, or even the main force of Yamauchi Yoshiharu.

With his ability to command, the Yamauchi army would not be unable to advance, but it would definitely be very troublesome.

After the Yamauchi army made a strong effort, then weakened, and finally exhausted. He might be able to launch a defensive counterattack, or even destroy the "main force of Yamanouchi" in front of him in one fell swoop, thus securing victory.

As a result, Takeda Nobuharu was relieved and commanded his soldiers to deal with the fierce attack of the Yamanouchi army.

"Takeda's foot soldier general Yasuma Daisuke Hiroie has been captured by Imagawa Totomi no Kami Yoshikina!"

A loud shout was like thunder.
