Chapter 581 43. Sozang Is Full of Courage
The dead soldiers of the Takeda army were really sharp!
Even the old father-in-law stood up from his small stool, put his hands on the awning, and watched the battle.
"Among the twelve Takeda envoys, Tsuchiya Sozo is the best soldier!" The old father-in-law couldn't help but sigh.
"It's worthy of the phrase of killing a thousand people with one hand!" Xiao Pingtai also echoed.
Seeing that Ogasawara Sadakishi was about to die, Tsuchiya Masahiro killed three famous generals and countless miscellaneous soldiers alone. This was already considered a broken bone. If Ogasawara Nagamasa and Hosokawa Saeki were not watching from behind, they might have been defeated.
While thinking about which team of cannon fodder to replace Ogasawara Sadakishi, a envoy hurried into the shogunate.
"Your Highness, our army was severely damaged by the Jia army, and more than ten warriors with names and surnames (samurai and public servants) have been killed, especially Tsuchiya Sozo, who cut down two long flags and seized three spears. He became more and more courageous as he killed more people."
"I have learned that the reinforcements are coming!" Yamauchi Taro gave a procedural reply.
"Let Sanada Tanjo make up!" Kobayata looked at his father-in-law with a questioning look.
"Just in time!"
The father-in-law had not finished nodding his head, and the army of more than 2,000 people of Ogasawara Sadakei was cut through by Tsuchiya Masahiro. The horizontal formation of 2,000 people was like butter cut by a hot knife, melting away the ice and snow.
Whether they were really dispersed by Tsuchiya Masahiro or they did not want to fight and disintegrated themselves, it was not the point. Anyway, this result was expected by Kobayata, and the purpose of consuming Ogasawara's manpower had been achieved. Tsuchiya Masahiro had only 500 people, and it was impossible for him to really stir up any waves.
The cannons were set up on Mount Ariga!
At worst, we can think of a way to shoot XX!
The only shortcoming is that Sanada Yukinaga didn't know whether it was intentional or he really didn't catch up. He was slow to set up the formation, and he started fighting with the Tsuchiya team before the iron cannon and bows and arrows were deployed.
The two people who fought were known to Xiao Pingtai. They were a pair of brothers. The elder brother was Kokusano (Haruhara) Wakasa-no-kami Takayoshi, and the younger brother was Haruhara Sozaemon. You may not have much impression of their names, but their deeds are very famous.
The brothers pretended to surrender to Murakami Yoshikiyo, then entered Toishi Castle, killed the castle lord Yakushiji Ukon, and set fire to the castle to create chaos. In the end, this sturdy castle collapsed without a fight, ringing the final death knell of Murakami Yoshikiyo.
Yamauchi Taro was fluttering his big eyes and looking at Hosokawa Harumiya, asking him to explain. Originally, Xiao Pingtai was ready to show off his skills and his erudition, but suddenly he remembered that Toishi Castle was not conquered by Takeda at all, and the little things he knew were from another parallel dimension and could not be said.
I finally got to know someone, but I still didn't know shit!
Hosokawa Harumiya had to continue explaining, and he was worried about this pair of "big babies"!
The Sanada Army and the Tsuchiya Army, who were comrades more than half a year ago, fought without any mercy. Anyway, it was not the first time that the Sanada Army fought with the Takeda Army. The fate of the people of the Warring States period was nothing more than changing everywhere with the general trend.
The Haruhara brothers were considered to be the brave generals under Sanada Yukinaga, and they were the kind of brave generals who were bold and careful. Being in the enemy city, attacking and killing the enemy generals, and setting fire to the city, it is absolutely impossible without some skills.
Tsuchiya Masahiro had just killed a lot, and his shoulder was hit by an arrow, and he was a little out of breath. But he was the courage of the Takeda Army on the field at this moment, he couldn't stop, he must continue to charge.
If he fell, the Takeda army would lose their temper!
However, his efforts were totally worth it. Inspired by him, the Takeda army finally started to fight the Yamauchi army. Although most of the troops were blocked by the troops of Murakami Yoshikuni, Kiso Yoshimasa and other national people. But Yamagata Masakage's troops were expanding the gap that Tsuchiya Masahiro had finally opened, allowing more Takeda troops to pour in.
Looking back at the Sun Tzu Shiru military flag and the Sun Wheel Royal flag of the Takeda main force, they were getting closer! Closer again!
Tsuchiya Masahiro seemed to have infinite strength all over his body, and saw Komiyayama and Akiyama who were desperately attacking the Yamauchi army in front of him. He bandaged the wound on his left arm hastily, asked his family to hold up his Tsuchiya Seven Stars family crest flag, changed to a new horse, and continued to charge at the Yamauchi army.
Tsuchiya Masahiro's performance on the battlefield just now was too dazzling, it was really so dazzling that even gods and ghosts were afraid of it, and the army was invincible!
It was the first time that Yukinaga Sanada fought for the Yamanouchi family, so he had to work hard, and Tsuchiya Masahiro's head was naturally the best gift. After much thought, Sanada's general Terao Shigenori and Sanada Yukinaga's brother Kazuno Ichiemon-no-no Nobumasa were sent together to attack Tsuchiya Masahiro.
It's like catching a snail with ten fingers!
It's not a big problem!
The two generals brought their families and soldiers to defeat the Tsuchiya Seven Stars family crest flag and kill Tsuchiya Masahiro, and Sanada Yukinaga gave a death order. Don't be afraid of the dead, as long as you submit your surrender, the Sanada family will be safe in the Yamanouchi family!
Abe Katsuyasu and Koyamada Masayuki had fewer troops and horses. They were originally just Takeda Shingen's concubines, and followed Tsuchiya Masahiro to clash. Seeing Tsuchiya Masahiro being surrounded, he was so angry that he ran to rescue him on foot.
Tsuchiya Masahiro was really struggling to wield a sword with one hand. He was gradually showing signs of defeat, but he kept fighting because he was holding his breath. Now he got the help of two generals and was reborn.
As a general with a sharp eye, Tsuchiya Masahiro had long seen that Terao Shigeyori's strength was inferior to Kazuno Nobumasa. He shouted loudly in Kai language, which the Shinano people could not understand at all, and the three of them attacked Terao Shigeyori together.
He slapped away the spear that Kazuno Nobumasa stabbed at him, and turned to attack Terao Shigeyori. Just as Terao Shigeyori was about to parry, Abe Katsuyasu stabbed him from the left rib, and Oyamada Masayuki stabbed him in the thigh. Terao Shigeyori wailed, "My life is over!"
Abe Katsuyasu stabbed again and again, and shot him in the chest!
"Terao Nagato no Kami has been killed by my Tsuchiya Sozo!" Abe Katsuyasu shouted loudly, attributing his merit to Tsuchiya Masahiro.
The Sanada troops on the field heard it and saw the head raised high by the long spear. They were terrified. Tsuchiya Masahiro killed another general, and the morale of the Sanada army was greatly depressed and finally wavered!
"We won! We won! The Yamauchi army has been defeated by my Tsuchiya Sozo!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison!
The mountains collapsed and the sea poured down, and the Sanada team was scattered!
Now Xiao Pingtai finally got nervous. Good guy, a brave general is really effective these days!
Tsuchiya Sozo! Full of courage!
The more he killed, the braver he became, approaching the second formation of Hosokawa Saime and Ogasawara Nagamasa. As long as he broke through the two teams in front of him, he could fight against the hatamoto team of Yamauchi Taro's team!
"It's almost there! Your Highness, are you seeing this in heaven?" Tsuchiya Masahide thought to himself.
Takeda Yoshinobu was so excited when he saw the blood-soaked Tsuchiya army, whose numbers were decreasing. He beat the drum himself and ordered his trusted Nagasaka Gengoro Nobumitsu to lead his own entourage to support Tsuchiya Masahide.
The goddess of victory seemed to be waving to the Takeda army!
