Chapter 582 44. Goodbye, I Am Heartbroken
The battlefield of Uedahara was very strange. The less numerous troops took the initiative to attack the more numerous troops, while the more numerous troops needed to dispatch troops to support them.
The first and second lines of the Yamauchi army were in the shape of a "博" character. A huge depression appeared on the contact surface of both sides, and this depression was expanding!
With the addition of Takeda Hatamoto Umakai of Nagasaka Gengoro, Tsuchiya Masahiro's offensive was instantly boosted exponentially. Takeda Yoshinobu's Hatamoto Umakai inherited Takeda Shingen's Okukinu, Gokonosuke, and Gomakai. Loyalty and bravery were certain, but it was unclear whether Takeda Yoshinobu had any other intentions.
Originally, Tsuchiya Masahiro was the Saku clan that rushed directly to Hosokawa Saijo, but at this time, Sanada Gentaemon Nobutsuna, the eldest son of Sanada Yukinaga, who was in the already collapsed Sanada team, saw that the Sanada team was so disastrously collapsed, felt greatly insulted, and rushed out alone.
"The last descendant of Shigeno Saburo, the descendant of Umino Kotaro Yukiuji, the son of Sanada Danmaesada, Sanada Gentaemon-no Nobutsuna comes to see me!"
The young man was so full of energy that he tried to challenge the troops of Tsuchiya Masahiro on his own.
Tsuchiya Masahiro knew Sanada Nobutsuna. Although the two had never cooperated, they had met once. He certainly knew that Sanada Nobutsuna was a general known for his unparalleled courage and strength. He was good at using a three-foot-three-inch long sword and was very powerful on horseback.
If it were normal times, Tsuchiya Masahiro would naturally not be afraid, after all, he was also a veteran who had fought for many years. But now he knew that he had been fighting for a long time, and his left arm was shot by an arrow and he could not use his strength, so the outcome of the two sides was fifty-fifty.
But looking around, there were soldiers of the Armor Army with ardent admiration everywhere. And the Takeda headquarters, inspired by his victory in successive battles and killing General Yamauchi, was attacking the Yamauchi army with all their might.
Suddenly he realized that he was in a difficult situation!
Can't retreat!
Can't stop!
Can only move forward! Forward! Forward again!
As long as the Seven Stars Flag of Tsuchiya is flying, the armored army is the powerful force that can shake the mountains of Kanto. Once the Seven Stars Flag falls, I'm afraid the situation will collapse in an instant.
However, even if Sanada Nobutsuna goes out, Hosokawa Saime and Ogasawara Nagamasa, who are standing behind, will not be able to cover the Tsuchiya army with arrows and bullets. If Sanada Nobutsuna is killed by mistake, the Sanada family may turn against him on the spot.
"Takeda clan foot soldiers, twelve envoys, Tsuchiya Sozo Masahiro is here!"
Tsuchiya Masahiro, the courage of the entire Takeda army, fought against Sanada Nobutsuna. Sanada Yukinaga had already retreated, but when he saw his eldest son and heir rushing up to challenge him alone, his eyes were red with anxiety.
He had to call his close warriors and gathered more than a dozen people to go back and snatch Sanada Nobutsuna back.
The troops of the Tsuchiya team took this opportunity to stick together with the army of Ogasawara Nagamasa and Hosokawa Saijo, and no longer had to worry about the attack of iron cannons and arrows.
The main camp's Xiao Pingtai was so angry that he jumped up and cursed, "What a hero you are!"
Originally, three rounds of volleys of a hundred iron cannons might have defeated the Tsuchiya team. Now, not only did Tsuchiya fail to collapse, but Yamagata also intervened. What a bad luck!
If the impact was not too bad, Xiao Pingtai really wanted to order indiscriminate shooting. If you were anyone from the Sanada family, even Kazuno Nobumasa, it would be fine. If you died, it would be said to be manslaughter. But Sanada Nobutsuna is the heir of the Sanada family, and Sanada Masaki and Muto Kihei are both on the Takeda side, and they are the kind that need to be settled after the war.
Sanada Nobutsuna is dead, and Sanada Yukinaga theoretically has no son!
Not good enough to do things, but more than enough to do things wrong!
If Tsuchiya Masahiro cannot be killed, we must take the opportunity to hit the Sanada family after the war!
The charge of disrupting the formation without permission cannot be escaped!
Xiao Ping Tai was so angry that he wanted to chop people, and Tsuchiya Masahiro was anxious to chop people. After just a few times of wielding the sword, he found that Sanada Nobutsuna was really strong. The three-foot-three-inch-long sword was very majestic when wielded. One sword after another, he kept slashing at him.
Not only was the force strong and powerful, but the speed was also amazing.
"Am I going to die here?" This thought popped up in Tsuchiya Masahiro's mind.
"Akiyama Kii is coming!" The two were fighting fiercely. Akiyama Kiimori, who was young and brave and inherited the title of Takeda's fierce bull, rode a horse and galloped over with a long spear held high.
He slapped Sanada Nobutsuna in the face, and Sanada Nobutsuna had no choice but to turn his horse's head and hit him hard with the sword. With a "ping" sound, the collision of metal and iron made people's teeth ache.
He is indeed the son of Akiyama Nobutomo, and his bravery is no less than his father. He was a strong and brave general like Sanada Nobunaga, and he was full of energy because he had just joined the battle. He actually beat Sanada Nobunaga.
Good opportunity!
In a flash, Tsuchiya Masahiro saw the opportunity and finally cut Sanada Nobunaga's shoulder with a knife. Unfortunately, after fighting for a long time, he was exhausted and failed to cut through completely. He just cut the armor leaves everywhere.
Sanada Nobunaga cried and fell off his horse!
The Sanada people rushed to the scene at this time, panicked, and rushed to grab Sanada Nobunaga. Kawara Tsunaie, a retainer of Sanada, held a cannon and shot Tsuchiya Masahiro, and took the man away in the chaos.
The man was taken away, and Tsuchiya Masahiro was also shot.
But it was not a vital part, just the thigh! Tsuchiya Masahiro, who was on the horse, shook for a while, was shocked, and ran to rescue him. No one would care if a cannon shot in a noisy battlefield, but if Tsuchiya Masahiro was shot, many people would care!
"Did he hit me?"
Taro Yamauchi, Kobayata, Yoshinobu Takeda, Masakage Yamagata, and many others all said in unison!
But seeing Tsuchiya Masahiro still on his horse, without any change, everyone's expressions were very interesting.
"What kind of shit is the Sanada family? They can't kill a person even if they are ten meters away. They can't even kill an elephant from thirty meters away!" This is Kobayata gritting his teeth.
"Send someone to check on Sozo!" This is Yoshinobu Takeda.
"No! I should go and see immediately!" This is Masakage Yamagata who is widening the gap behind Masakage Tsuchiya.
When Masakage Yamagata rushed into the front line, he found that Masakage Tsuchiya was afraid to move. His thighs were red and his face was flushed. He could not continue to fight except for being able to hold on to his horse.
"Ah! It's Yamagata-san. Now that you're here, I'm relieved! Please continue to hold my Seven Stars Flag and attack the Yamanouchi Army!"
"This is my last request!"
"Now that I'm here, I will definitely fight with you. You must join me in attacking the main camp of the Lower Horse Palace."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Tsuchiya Masahiro spat out a lot of blood foam from his mouth. The gunshot that hit his thigh seemed to have caused serious internal injuries.
"Please! ..." Somehow he burst out with infinite strength, Tsuchiya Masahiro pulled Tsuchiya Seven Stars off his back and inserted it behind Yamagata Masakage.
"My last request! Please be my kaishaku. The dignity of the Kai samurai cannot be humiliated!"
Tsuchiya Masahiro staggered and fell off his horse. Everyone supported him and saw that he was breathing out more than breathing in.
