Chapter Twenty-Three: Lost a Move
Ogasawara's long counter-charge surprised Takeda Harunobu, he didn't expect Ogasawara to make such a move when he was long, and he didn't have a lot of troops in his own formation.
Kansuke Yamamoto immediately asked Takeda Harunobu to retreat first, and let the shadow warrior who pretended to be Takeda Harunobu sit in the main camp.
At the same time, the fierce general Hara Huyin served as the general of the main formation, leading the army of the formation to fight against the Ogasawara army.
Now that the main position is critical, many of the attacking troops have returned to support, which has relieved many of the defeated Ogasawara troops.
The final decisive battle was fought near the main camp of the Takeda army, and the Ogasawara army stormed the main camp of the Takeda army. Gao Yuan Laiji is the most courageous and has broken through two lines of defense.
However, the Takeda army that raided Shiojiri had already crushed the Ogasawara army that remained behind, and Mimura and Nishimaki were stunned to watch from the sidelines and did not help.
Iitomi Toramasa and other generals abandoned the Ogasahara battle that was about to be broken to return to the army to support, and after Suwa Mankumi and Yokota Takamatsu killed Yorimitsu Yajima and Hanaoka Tadamatsu, they also quickly withdrew their troops to help.
Ogasawara ordered a retreat and returned to Shiojiri before the encirclement was completed by the returning Takeda Army.
Although the Ogasawara army suffered heavy losses, it regained the position of Shiojiri, which made Takeda Harunobu's surprise plan fail.
In this camp, the repeated blows made Takeda Harunobu's face very ugly.
After a while, the news of Ogasawara's army withdrawing came from the hundred-legged crowd.
This made Takeda Harunobu breathe a sigh of relief, and he barely won it.
At this time, Suwa Mangai spoke: "My lord, I have not been able to protect Mrs. Youzu well, please allow me to apologize for my seppuku in Xia!" ”
Takeda Harunobu was still sober, shook his head and said, "I don't blame you for this, it's me who underestimated the opponent." Although Ogasawara has retreated for a long time, our army's losses are not light, so we must not relax. ”
Oyamada Nobuyi frowned and said, "Strategist, you can explain today's situation!" ”
Kansuke Yamamoto bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, today's questions are all in the making. ”
Takeda Harunobu said: "I also have a large part of the responsibility for this matter, Ogasawara was known for a long time, but his behavior today is very abnormal.
Let's ask, did the enemy samurai who captured Satomi today report his name? ”
A hundred-legged crowd ran out, and came back not long after, saying, "Lord Qiqi, that person is known as Ueda Nobukata of the Murakami family, and he killed Sakagaki!" ”
Takeda Harunobu flashed with a cold light, and the rest of the people also had different expressions.
Yamamoto Kansuke said: "Originally, we had used a plan to drive out the people of the Murakami family, but this Ueda Nobukata is very cunning, and he should have changed his appearance and hidden in the military strength of the Suwa Westerners.
And the hand that Lady Youjin was ambushed today should also come from this person. ”
Sanada Yutaka said: "There is indeed the Ueda family in the small county, but it is a branch of the Ogasawara clan, this person, you can go and investigate it later." ”
Sanada Yutaka is from Kopre-gun, and is the grandson of the Kaizu family, one of the three major families of Ko-prefectural Prefecture.
Takeda Harunobu shook his head and said: "When Sakagaki was killed in battle, he was stabbed to death by an ashigaru, and this person should have taken the name of the Ueda family.
Recently, the behavior of the Murakami family is estimated to have this Ueda Nobukata active, this is a tricky opponent! Hopefully you can see his head today. ”
Takeda Harunobu changed the topic and said: "Okay, now that Ogasawara has been repulsed for a long time, and there have been many losses, our army will not move for the time being, recuperate, and then there will be a rebellion in Saku-gun to be quelled." ”
With Takeda Harunobu's final word, the Takeda army also withdrew and returned to Uehara Castle.
Ogasawara's long-term withdrawal was not only due to the betrayal of his retainers, but also due to the death of Yorimitsu Yajima and Tadatsune Hanaoka, who were the backbone of the Suwa West.
In short, Ogasawara had to guard against the revenge of the Takeda family after returning for a long time, and at the same time had to face the possibility of rebellion within the family.
The Battle of Shiojiri was over, but Ueda Nobukata was still on his way to escape, and twenty cavalry caught up with Ueda Nobukata after chasing for more than half an hour.
Ueda Nobukata looked at the cavalry of the Takeda family who surrounded him, and the corners of his eyes suddenly jumped, feeling that he was really going to be finished this time.
Although the Takeda family had not yet formed a red reserve at this time, it was still possible to have cavalry combat power.
The formation of Akabi was after the battle with Nagao Keitor, and after seeing the Echigo cavalry, he decided to get Akabei.
The cavalry captain headed by him was none other than Iitomi Genshiro, the future general of Akabi Yama Shokei.
He stretched out his spear and pointed it at Koheijiro, and shouted, "Put down Mrs. Youzu, I can spare your life below!" ”
Ueda Nobukata put down Satomi Youzu, and then pulled out the ribs and pressed them against Satomi Youzu's neck, and said with a smile: "It's better to control my life by myself." ”
Genicshiro Iitomi glared at Koheirajiro angrily and shouted, "Bastard, what about the samurai spirit in you!" ”
Ueda Nobukata smiled: "Ah, I'm a samurai who became a samurai because of his military exploits, hahaha." ”
Satomi Yuzu suddenly shouted: "Kill him quickly, he is a shameless person, it is he who killed Sakagaki Temple!"
Don't spare my life, you must take down this villain and hand it over to the hall owner to dispose of! ”
Ueda Nobukata's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he looked nervously at Genicshiro Iitomi.
Iitomi Genshiro took a deep breath and exhaled: "Since the Lady of Youzu has already attained enlightenment, then you will be offended!" ”
Ueda Nobukata immediately put away his ribs and picked up the ten-character gun, and at the same time he was very flustered, and he hurriedly said: "Let's discuss, you can put the palace of Mrs. Youzu in the next, and you can leave here in the next place." ”
Iitomi Genshiro glared at Ueda Nobukata angrily and said, "Please forgive me for not agreeing!" ”
Ueda Nobukata is really panicked now, he really doesn't want to die, he originally just robbed Satomi of Youzu and disgusted Takeda Harunobu, but now he didn't expect that his life would be put into it.
He pulled out his ribs again, put them against Satomi's neck, and made a bloody mark, and said, "Then you try!" ”
Iitomi Genshiro waved his hand and said, "I'll be able to do it alone." ”
He stepped forward slowly, approaching Ueda Nobukata step by step.
Ueda Nobukata's breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and his heartbeat was accelerating, and he retracted his ribs, stretched out his ten-character gun, and pointed it at Genicshiro Iitomi.
If he still had the chance, he would certainly not have robbed Satomi of Youzu.
"Does it have to be this way? Wouldn't it be good to go back with the living Mrs. Youzu? Ueda Nobukata struggled last.
"Lady Youzu doesn't want to see Takeda Daizen Doctor Hall again? It's not good for everyone if the fish dies and the net is broken. ”
But Satomi shouted, "Genshiro! Take him down! ”
Iitomi Genshiro no longer hesitated, and instantly shot at Ueda Nobukata, Ueda Nobukata hesitated a little in his heart and took a step slower, and was repelled by Iitomi Genshiro.
Ueda Nobukata's face turned pale instantly, his biggest reliance was gone, and Satomi Yuzu laughed and said, "Ueda Nobukata, you are dead!" ”
