Speaking of which, on the side of the former mountain castle, Ueda Nobukata is waiting for the army of the Takeda family, and the ninjas and detectives under his hands have already been dispersed.

On the day that Nobuyu Oyamada arrived at Nozawa Castle, Motoren sent more detailed information.

Ueda Nobukata held a military meeting in Ohiroma with the information, and he said: "This time, the Takeda family dispatched 5,000 troops, and in comparison, the 3,000 troops in the hands of the family is not a disadvantage, because we have a fortified city!"

This time, it was Nobuyari Oyamada who led the battle, a powerful man in Kai Province, but he was wounded in the Battle of Toishi Castle, and according to the investigation, it seems that he has not fully recovered.

Secondly, Takeda Harunobu sent the general Iitomi Genshiro to assist Oyamada Shinyu, this Iitomi Genshiro, you can't be underestimated, Sanada Dan Zhengzhong, you are more familiar with it, you can talk about it. ”

Sanada Dan Zhengzhong nodded and said: "Hey, everyone, this Iitomi Genshiro is a fierce general in the Takeda family, Haruminobu Gong values him very much, and his elder brother is the important minister of the family, Iitomi Shoji, the young assistant of the Iitomi Army. ”

For Iitomi Huchang, many people here are very familiar with him, in the Takeda family, the only ones who really wear red armor are the soldiers of the Iifu family.

The troops under Takeda Harunobu and Sanada Yutaka were actually wearing black armor.

Later, Takeda Harunobu saw the brave posture of the Echigo cavalry, so he planned to build a strong cavalry unit, and he took a fancy to Iitomi Genshiro, so he made him the leader of this army.

Iitomi Genshiro adhered to the habits of his family and made this cavalry wear red armor, compared to the white cavalry of the long-tailed Jinghu, Takeda Harunobu was also very satisfied, so the red cavalry appeared.

Now Akabei is still just a prototype, and Takeda Harunobu has a fancy for cavalry troops, but he has not yet had the idea of Akabei.

Iitomi Huchang, also known as the Kazan Tiger, blocked the invasion of the enemy's 8,000 men with 800 men in the mountain castle of Sakunachi.

Kamizu Kenra said: "Although this brother of Iitomi Genshiro is the young assistant of the Iitomi Army, he is not necessarily very powerful, right?" ”

Ueda Nobukata, who was sitting at the top, said: "No, compared to Iitomi Shosuke, Iitomi Genshiro is not bad at all, and he is even a figure who is better than blue.

For Iitomi Genshiro, everyone must not despise him, this person is strong in martial arts, very heroic on the battlefield, and cannot be defeated.

The Takeda family has a very deep heritage, if it weren't for Takeda Harunobu who needed to go to Chikuma County, just take out Mino Hara and Iifu Shosuke, we would all have a hard time. ”

Ueda Nobukata looked at Sanada Yukitaka, and Sanada Yukitaka answered: "Therefore, our army will continue to cage the city for the time being, wait for the enemy army to attack the city, and when the soldiers of the Takeda family are tired, our army will attack again." ”

The military discussion did not last long, mainly because it was dispersed after saying some of the other party's situation, after all, the strategy of the cage city had already been discussed, and everyone had their own defense area.

After the retainers dispersed, Ueda Nobukata found Yazaki Heizou, who is now not only a general of the archish, but also a general of the iron artillery team.

Today, there are thirty iron cannons in Maeyama Castle, all of which were built by Ueda Nobukata himself, and the gunpowder and lead bullets needed for the iron cannons were all purchased from Tennojiya.

However, for the ratio of gunpowder, it was made by Ueda Nobukata himself, the ancient gunpowder ratio was not very accurate, and the power was smaller, and Ueda Nobukata remembered the correct ratio, so as to reduce the waste of resources.

Ueda Nobukata said to Yazaki Heizou, "Heizo, I need your help to defend the city this time. ”

Yazaki Heizou hurriedly said: "The lord just commands." ”

Ueda Nobukata said: "There is a fierce general in the enemy army, and you know today that it is Iitomi Genshiro, and I was almost killed by Iitomi Genicshiro.

In terms of force, I am not the opponent of Iitomi Genshiro, so I can only say that Cage City will hold on, and when the time comes, if Iitomi Genicshiro is close to the battlefield, you will concentrate iron cannons to kill him! ”

Yazaki Heizou nodded and said, "Ha! The minister understood, and when the time came, the minister would definitely find an opportunity to kill Iitomi Genshiro. ”

Ueda Nobukata nodded with satisfaction, and the worries in his heart relaxed a lot.

Iitomi Genshiro, also known as Yamayama Shojing, also died under the iron cannon in the Battle of Nagashino.

Honda Tadakatsu, known as Xiao Zhang Fei, was also afraid of fighting head-on with Shan Shan Changjing, and when he found Shan Shan Changjing, he immediately ordered the iron gunners around him to kill Shan County Changjing.

In the third year of Motokame, Takeda Iejoraku fought with Tokugawa Ieyasu at the Mikahara battle, when Ieyasu rejected Nobunaga's intention to hold on to the castle conveyed by Takigawa Kazuyoshi, and instead took the initiative to attack.

In that battle, Nakayama Masakai led 5,000 men to serve as the vanguard, and with Akiyama Nobutomo, he broke through Tokugawa Ieyasu's crane wing formation with a strong attacking arrow formation, and then relied on the speed advantage of the cavalry to chase Ieyasu in embarrassment, and even deliberately committed suicide at one point, and finally reluctantly fled back to Hamamatsu Castle.

In the future, whenever Tokugawa Ieyasu recalled the picture at that time, he couldn't help but feel palpitations and said: "That military general called Yamayama is really terrifyingly strong, and I almost died at his hands at the beginning." ”

Later, after the demise of the Takeda family, all the remnants of Yamaguchi Masakai were incorporated into the command of Tokui Ieyasu under Ii Naomasa in an attempt to form the Tokugawa family's Red Army.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was also cast in the shadow by Yama County Changjing, and he spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to make a red preparation.

However, in the later Battle of Osaka, this copycat version of the Akabei Army did not have the style of Takeda Akabei at all compared to the Sanada cavalry of the Takeda family.

And this cavalry of the Sanada family is the last appearance of Takeda Akabei.

In fact, there is also a cavalry that rivals Takeda Akabi, that is, Uesugi Kenshin's cavalry unit, but unfortunately, the reputation of this cavalry is not as loud as Takeda Akabei.

As soon as Yazaki Heizou left, Satomi Yuzu appeared in the room, and with a mocking smile on her face, she said, "I didn't expect that my husband is still afraid of Genshiro." You're a Shinano demon! ”

Ueda Nobugata didn't pay attention to Satomi's ridicule, and said, "What Shinano evil ghost, wasn't it for fame at the beginning, so that the lord would pay more attention to me?"

The gold content of this name is not high.,I haven't met a famous general like Genshiro before.,Besides.,I was a foot light before.,I can't do any marksmanship and kendo.,It's not comparable to Genshiro.。 ”

Satomi Satomi snorted and said, "Although the concubine knows that her husband will be unhappy if she says this, she also asks her husband to save Genshiro's life." ”

Ueda Nobukata asked, "Do you want to repay Genshiro for saving you in the first place?" ”

Satomi nodded generously.

Ueda Nobukata thought about the majestic Takeda Akabi, and said with some confusion: "I'll think about it." ”
