$ Chapter 492 51. Fighting for the Takeda in the Mountains
"Your Highness, Mino Shou sent me to report that Fujiwara's Nanbarbar cannon can shoot more than a hundred cells. Our army miscalculated. The military department has been ordered to kill, and the first move is in chaos!"
A centipede knelt down on one knee and loudly reported what happened in the first move.
"What?" Takeda Harunobu and Takeda Yoshinobu were shocked at the same time.
Takeda Yoshinobu even stood up and stood there blankly. Little did he know that in his momentary struggle to win, he actually killed his teacher.
"How's the situation going first?"
"Mino Mamoru ordered all the troops to avoid the Nanman Otaku and retreat into formation, but the Suruga troops were defeated first (nonsense, you can't collapse after eating thirty rounds of Folang!), and the leading troops were bombarded by the Nanman Otaku again, and they were already heading towards their own territory. The formation collapsed."
"Minbubu, Saburobei, Bichu (Amari Shochen), Jurobei (Yokota Takamatsuko), the four of you go forward immediately to collect the broken troops, and be sure not to let the broken troops rush into the front of the formation."
The four people stood up immediately and shouted yes. Call your family and subordinates, and quickly organize your team to advance out of the formation. Establish an interception line so that the more than 4,000 people who were defeated first cannot hit the 10,000 people in the main team (there are still 5,000 people surrounding Koshihata).
"Bizen (Okuma Asahide), go immediately and inform Hojo that the Fujiwara bomb is crossing the river, and ask them to deal with it carefully!"
"Sure enough, no matter how much we attach importance to Fujiwara Danmasa!" Yamamoto Kansuke was not panicked after hearing all kinds of news.
After all, Xiaopingtai only has 10,000 people, so Army A is never afraid of one-on-one situations. As long as the two armies are mixed together, Xiao Pingtai's Nanman cannon will not dare to fire no matter how powerful it is.
If you don't have this little bit of self-confidence, you don't have to mess around with Army A. In the past ten or twenty years, you have been fighting each other with the Yamauchi family. You know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know your depths.
"Brother, just respond to the enemy as usual, but it's just a temporary victory or defeat." Takeda Nobushige was also very calm.
"It's just a pity for the Ministry of War."
Seeing Takeda Yoshinobu's somewhat discouraged look, Takeda Harunobu knew that even if the battle was over, the balance of power in the family would be broken again, and there would be another fight between dragons and tigers.
"Your Highness, the repairman (Naito Masatoyo) has come to report that the people in the Etsuhata Castle Mountains are setting fire to the city and are heading north to try to break through the siege!"
Another centipede came galloping, bringing bad news to Takeda Harunobu.
Takeda Harunobu did not answer, Takeda Nobushige waved his hand to let the Centipede leave. There was a brief silence in the shogunate. No one spoke, everyone was waiting for Takeda Harunobu's decision.
"The people of Koshihata may not be able to break through the siege. Even if they break through, their intention is to break the siege and escape. They will definitely not be able to endure a deadly fight. Instead, everyone will fight for the north and join Fujiwara to bombard him."
Kansuke Yamamoto saw that Takeda Harunobu was thinking about it, but he finally spoke first. Yukitsuna Sanada is also a rare wise general with deep intellect. He also agrees with Kansuke Yamamoto's opinion.
"The people of Koshihata are just escaping. We should take advantage of Fujiwara Dansei's unawareness that Koshihata's people have left the city and defeat Fujiwara Dansei with all our strength. Then the people of Koshihata will be easily captured."
"Urge Hojo to send troops and join me in fighting Fujiwara Dansho!"
Takeda Harunobu suddenly stood up, pointed forward with his military equipment, and ordered the entire army to attack Xiaoheita in the north.
The Suwan-ryu Jin taiko drums were beating, and Takeda's troops were not shaken by the failure of the first mover. Their Army A has the pride of Army A, and has the momentum to win every battle and move forward indomitably.
…………
"Where is Meigoro?" Xiaoheita asked Aji as he jumped across the pontoon.
"Kanai Zaki has already fought with the Imperial Army's Hara Mino Mamoru!"
"Where's Tojiro?"
"Iwase is fighting with Hashima Uchisuke of the Hojo Army!"
"Where is Yuanjiang Palace?"
"His Royal Highness Enjie is still organizing his troops and will soon be able to assist Kanai Maki in joining forces to besiege Hara Mino."
"Where are His Highness Kaijin and His Highness Jilun?"
"His Royal Highness Jilun generously promised that he has already followed us and is right behind. His Highness Haijin said that he will support our army once he reports to the Commander-in-Chief."
Xiao Pingtai nodded, these two can do this, they are already very good.
It's my duty to help you, but it's my duty not to help you!
Don't lick your face, no one owes you anything you have to pay back for the rest of your life!
"Kantaro! Your navy troops are good at jumping up and down, and everyone can use bows and arrows. You bypass the original team, drive away and attack Takeda's broken troops, and be sure not to let them form a team."
Anzhai Kiyoyasu thought that he might just be playing a part in this visit, but he didn't expect that in the first battle of his navy, he would be assigned such a heavy responsibility by Xiaoping Tai.
"You will live up to your command!"
The backbone of the soldiers of the Hamamatsu Marine Corps are the Awaji Pirates that Anzai Kiyoyasu inherited from his father Anzai Fuyayasu. They fight bravely, wearing only light armor and no spears. They use long swords, are as light as a swallow, and can run and jump quickly. . Soon they caught up with the defeated Takeda army and started killing them like they were in an uninhabited country.
He mistakenly gave the order to retreat into formation, causing the entire army to waver. Yuan Huyin, who was the first to be defeated, led about 200 men to garrison the place. He decided to stay here to stop the Yamauchi army and buy time for the rear troops to regroup.
To be honest, without the cannon and relying solely on hand-to-hand combat, Yuan Huyin really had nothing to fear.
But he didn't expect that the other troops would run so fast, saying they were retreating into formation, and in the blink of an eye, not a single one of them would be left. No one has the noble consciousness to stay and help him.
Fortunately, there were only three to four hundred members of Kanai Meigoro crossing the river, so there was really nothing they could do to Hara Huyin for a while.
But when Imagawa Yoshiuchi's Makino army came up, there were more than 800 soldiers and horses, five times as many as Yuan Huyin.
It was thrilling, if you want to say it was thrilling, Kanai Aigoro relied on the gold foil Nanbando that was invulnerable to swords and spears, and fought against Hara Toratane. Imagawa Yoshichika's martial arts were not so good, but he had many followers, five against one, five spears against one spear. Let alone the armor army, even the divine army couldn't stand it.
In just over ten minutes, the 200 people in the original team were beaten to pieces by the pincer attack of more than 1,000 people in the Yamauchi army.
"Hara Mino no Kami Toratane has been killed by me, Kanai Aigoro Hideharu!"
There was a loud shout in the battle, and a long spear immediately raised a pouch on the tip of the spear. There was no doubt that it was Hara Toratane's pouch.
"Good!"
The resistance on the south bank of the Tone River collapsed!
Kobayata quickly adjusted his strategy, while ordering the Ina Yoshi (shield) and Yong (shield) soldiers to divide into five teams, and pointed out five hatamoto warriors to lead the team to cooperate with Iwase Motomasa, waving flags and shouting, bluffing. Try to delay the reinforcements of the Hojo army.
The main force of the Hamamatsu army marched forward in unison, rushing towards Takeda Harunobu's main force, hoping to decide the outcome with a single battle.
Looking back at the more than 3,000 people of Nagano Yoshimori who were still preparing to cross the river, and the Nanban mercenaries who were still pulling cannons on the other side, Xiao Pingtai was full of vigor.
"Go and tell Father William to organize his followers, bring cannons, follow us, and fight Takeda Daizen together."
