Chapter 496 55. The Balance Keeps Tipping Over

"We can no longer defend, we must rush forward and fight with the Yamauchi army, otherwise Fujiwara's bombs are firing in turns, and the Nanman big barrel is so sharp, our army's defeat is right in front of us!"

Takeda Nobushige slapped his thigh, stood up, and loudly advised Takeda Harunobu.

"I have something I don't know whether to say or not." Kansuke Yamamoto stared at the battle situation with squinted eyes.

"Tell me what you want!" Although Takeda Haru was worried about the outcome of the battle, she was still calm on the surface.

"For example, when throwing stones, the fists and stones fly in an arc. For example, when using bows and arrows, the arrows can also diffuse into the enemy camp over the obstructing wooden trusses and bamboo bundles."

"Kansuke, what do you mean?" Takeda Nobushige's eyes flashed.

"What if the Nanman big cannon can launch projectiles that pass over the Yamauchi army and hit our army?"

"Then our entire army will fight forward, and Fujiwara's bomb will hit him right in his heart. All he has to do is entangle our army with his soldiers and horses. The Nanman big guns are firing in and out from behind, and our army's losses will inevitably be heavier."

Next to him, Yuan Changyin, the leader of the formation, mentioned a possibility that he least wanted to see, and looking at the looks of Takeda Harunobu, Takeda Nobushige and others, it was obvious that they also thought so.

"Fujiwara Danmasa is a man of unparalleled intelligence. He has traveled across the Eastern Kingdom for ten years, and many generals and capable men have been defeated by him."

I have to say that smart people always think too much, especially those who are extremely smart like Yamamoto Kansuke, who think even more. In addition, every time he fights, Xiaopingtai always fails to use up all his cards. Hidden clumsiness again and again, safe and sound again and again. Except for extremely difficult battle situations, we always fight fair and square battles.

"Looking at today's battle with Fujiwara Danmasa, have you noticed that our army has been following Fujiwara Danmasa's arrangements and has not taken advantage of any of our army's advantages at all."

Yukitsuna Sanada also reminded everyone that he had been watching with cold eyes for a long time and felt that the fight had started in the morning. The tens of thousands of people in the Takeda and Hojo coalition forces were all led by Koheita. They neither took advantage of the large number of Hojo soldiers nor took advantage of the Takeda Army's expertise in wild battles.

"Where is Hojo!"

Takeda Harunobu listened to the discussion among his men and also watched the battle situation under Ikunoyama.

"It seems to be blocked by about six to seven thousand people from the Yamauchi Army Iwase Corps!" Standing on Ikuno Mountain, a small plateau on the south bank of the Tone River, Takeda Monomiji could see clearly and unobstructed.

"There are nearly 10,000 Yamauchi troops in front of us. Where did he get six or seven thousand people?" The Takeda family knew the details of the Yamauchi army clearly, so Takeda Nobushige couldn't believe it.

Everyone started arguing, and some thought that the Yamauchi family had exhausted all their people's strength and still had an army of 30,000 people. Some people think that it should be Takanashi or Nagano's soldiers and horses, just making up the numbers.

Only Takeda Nobushige and Takeda Harunobu remained silent and communicated intensely with their eyes.

"Kansuke, since Hojo can't come to fight yet, is it feasible for our army to retreat temporarily?"

"retreat?"

Those who were still arguing immediately understood that since the war began, the Takeda Army has suffered more than 600 casualties, which is a huge loss. He also lost generals such as Fanfu Huchang, Yuan Huyin, Ganli Changchen, Geshan Shiyuan, etc., and the situation was obviously unfavorable.

Under such circumstances, Hojo could not break through the obstruction and come to fight. Due to both emotions and reasons, since the Takeda family alone could not withstand the attacking Yamauchi and other troops, it was okay to retreat slightly, wait for the rendezvous, and reorganize the army.

"Your Highness, you must not do this!" Kansuke Yamamoto waved his hand quickly.

"The people in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Koshihata are breaking out. Once our army retreats, all previous efforts will be lost. If the people in the mountains gather together, Musashi can go anywhere."

"Of course I know this, so I'm asking you if there is a way to achieve both ends."

"The timing is with me!"

Yamamoto Kansuke pointed to the sky. The sun was already setting in the west, and it would get dark in less than an hour at most. A large-scale night battle is almost impossible. Even if Xiaoping is clever and resourceful, it is impossible to raise tens of thousands of torches at once.

In addition, the soldiers have been busy all day and it is impossible to have the physical strength to fight at night. No matter which side it is, when the sky is getting dark, they must withdraw their troops and stop fighting, waiting for tomorrow.

"But now that Fujiwara's bomb is flying like thunder from the Nanbarbar barrel, how will our army respond?"

"Invite to attack!" Yamamoto Kansuke smiled slightly.

"Swimming without fighting will delay time!" Sanada Yukitsuna suddenly understood.

Kai's soldiers endure hardships and are good at fighting. The poor life has cultivated the hard-working Jiafei Mountain people, which is also reflected in the glorious record of Jia Army's one against two or even one against three in the past.

In addition, the Kai Takeda clan has been propagated for more than twenty generations, and the number of samurai and servants is larger than that of other nearby clans. There are many officers at the grassroots level, which ensures that Army A can accept Takeda Harunobu's command like an arm and a finger.

So now as long as Army A's Wu Yangyang rushes towards the Yamauchi Army, a cautious person like Xiao Pingtai will definitely form a formation to deal with it. However, Army A did not fight, and took advantage of the characteristics of multiple officers and strong organizational skills. They left as soon as they stuck and rotated to the next team.

In this way, even if it is bombarded, since Army A is always on the move, the threat of Fo Lang's machine gun will be greatly reduced.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Jia Army is the highest in the East Kingdom, and no one will dare to relax in response. It's just that the Hamamatsu people who bully you, Koheita, are not as good as the Kai people. If the Yamauchi army wavers, that would be even better. The A army will attack directly, and the battle situation may be reversed.

"So good!"

Takeda Harunobu and Takeda Nobushige nodded together.

…………

So Heita Xiao saw that the horizontal formation of the Takeda Army that was originally entrenched began to change. Under the constant orders of the Centaurs, it turned into four small fronts. Against the attack and artillery fire of the Yamauchi Army, counterattack the Yamauchi Army.

"Quick! Protect Folang Jigun!" Xiaoheita thought that the Takeda army was going to fight to the death and counterattacked the Yamauchi army.

Aji immediately followed the order and led the foot soldiers of Hamamatsu to line up in front of the Portuguese guns, and the mercenaries also formed a defensive formation. The sailors and gunners also hurriedly pulled up the cannons. Four of the six cannons were on their ship, which was equivalent to their boss's assets, and they must be anxious.

But what surprised Xiao Pingtai was that the Jia army shouted and rushed over, without fighting, and ran away as soon as they stuck. But within a few minutes, the next team of people shouted in unison and continued to attack.

"Takeda the old thief is stalling for time!"

Xiao Pingtai reacted after watching only two rounds, but he didn't dare to deal with it casually. The Jia army was too famous. If the next round of attack was real, the only one who would suffer would be the Yamauchi army.

"Pus on the soles of the feet and sores on the top of the head, which bastard gave Takeda Harunobu a bad idea, it's very bad!"

"Shoot it right, or rush up and bite the Jia army!" Chen San also itched his teeth when he saw it.

Xiao Pingtai looked at the sky, and then calculated the strength of his troops, thinking that he might as well risk his life and fight to the death.

"There is smoke and shouting in the south!"

"Where!"

Nanagui pointed casually, and suddenly there was a faint shouting in the direction of Koshihata behind the Takeda army, which was vague and not very clear.
