In front of the mountain castle in Saku-gun, this is the fifth day that Sanada Yutaka has left Saku, and the military formation of the Takeda family has finally moved.

It turned out that two days ago, Takeda Harunobu sent Iitomi Huchang and brought 1,000 troops to support, including 500 horsemen.

Although the Chikumo-gun side was also a siege battle, Takeda Harunobu was still full of confidence in the face of Ogasawara Naga and Murakami Yoshikiyo, but there were too many variables on Ueda Nobukata's side, so he decided to send Iitomi Torama to help.

In 1541, due to the conflict between Takeda Nobutora and Takeda Harunobu, Iitomi Toramasa, together with the important ministers at the time, Itagaki Nobukata and Ganli Toratai, took advantage of the fact that the family governor Takeda Nobutora went to Suruga to visit his son-in-law Imagawa Yoshimoto, and supported Takeda Harunobu (Shingen) in lightning and exiled Takeda Shintora. As a result, Iitomi Torama, as Takeda Harunobu's confidant and teacher, enjoyed a high status in the Takeda family.

After the birth of Takeda Harunobu's eldest son, he became a teacher of Shosuke of the Ministry of War and Yoshinobu Takeda.

As the leader of the Takeda family's Red Reserve cavalry and the shosuke of the military department, Iitomi Toramasa was a feared, courageous, experienced and reckless samurai known as the "Kai Tiger".

Speaking of Akabei, he can be said to be an ancestor. When he led his cavalry into battle, they were all dressed in red armor and swept over the enemy's troops on the battlefield like a fireball.

The active Iitomi Toramasa planted the fear of the "Kai Tiger" in the hearts of some of the Takeda family's enemies, such as Murakami Yoshikiyo and Ogasawara Nagasa.

After the fall of Takeda, Tokugawa Ieyasu sent the bereaved ministers to report on the tactics that Shingen hoped for during the battle, and the result was that Iitomi Toramasa was the most in line with Shingen's wishes.

The martial arts of Iitomi Huchang have been passed down to this day through his younger brother Yama Prefecture Changjing and Ii Naomasa.

As a member of the Takeda family tree, Nobukata Itagaki and Ganli Hutai were active in the second generation of Shinhu and Shingen, and were one of the generals who repeatedly made military exploits.

The arrival of Iitomi Torasa relieved Oyamada Nobuya, who had not yet fully healed from his serious injuries and was not in good spirits, and at the same time doubled the pressure on Iitomi Genshiro.

Ueda Nobukata was also a big headache when he saw the banner of Iitomi Torama appear in Nozawa Castle, he now needs to fight alone against the three major generals of the Takeda family, and he has no fierce generals under him.

Now in Nozawa Castle, Nobuyi Oyamada stayed behind, and Iitomi Torama and Iitomi Genshiro led the troops out of the battle, and set up a formation at the foot of Maeyama Castle at ten o'clock in the morning.

This is after Iitomi Huchang arrived at Qianshan Castle, he used two days to check the defense system and surrounding situation of Qianshan Castle.

He found that a strong attack on the front mountain castle would pay a great price, and the siege of the city would only disperse the forces and make it easy for the enemy to break through.

Therefore, he felt that the water source on the periphery of the former mountain castle should be cut off first, that is, all the exposed waterwheels should be destroyed.

As for the underground waterway of Maeyama City, it has recently been found by the Kurokawa Nuggets, and it can be cut off when the time comes.

These Kurokawa gold diggers usually do things in the Black Piercing Gold Mountain, refining gold, looking for gold veins, as for the gold diggers, they are all slaves doing things, of course, the Kurokawa gold diggers at the bottom are also doing hard work.

As for the time of battle, Takeda Harunobu will bring out the Kurokawa Nuggets, and when it is time to besiege the city, he will send them to find the enemy city's waterways.

Iitomi Toramasa rode a tall horse and wore red armor, while his soldiers, as well as Iitomi Genshiro's army, were all red armor, and his eyes were red, while Oyamada Nobuya's army was all Xuanjia.

Iitomi Genshiro turned back to his brother Iitomi Huchang and said, "Brother, let the younger brother take the lead first!" ”

Fan Fu Huchang nodded, waved the horsewhip in his hand and said, "Assault!" ”

Iitomi Genshiro immediately dismounted and attacked with the Iitomi family's Ashigaru, and some of the samurai on horseback also dismounted and followed Iitomi Genshiro to attack the front mountain castle.

Ueda Nobukata saw Iitomi Akabei start the assault, and immediately shouted to Yazaki Heizo: "Prepare for the bow and shoot when you enter the range."

Heizou, you have the iron cannon ready, you just need to aim at Iitomi Genshiro and shoot! "Although Satomi Ueda begged Ueda Nobukata not to kill Inatomi Genshiro, and he actually admired Genshiro as well.

However, Iitomi Genshiro is a retainer who is very loyal to Takeda Harunobu, and he would rather tell Takeda Harunobu than favor his brother Iitomi Torama.

As for Takeda Harunobu's death, will Genshiro Iitomi take refuge in himself? After the death of Takeda Shingen in history, although Yamayama Shojing was dissatisfied with Takeda Katsuyori, he still obeyed Takeda Katsuyori's command.

Especially in the Battle of Nagashino, he tried his best to fight this battle, but when the war broke out, he still obeyed the command and led Akabei to attack the Tokugawa-Oda coalition defense line.

Yama Prefecture Masakei was very heroic, and he broke through the two wooden fence defense lines of the coalition army with one person, repelled the three teams of Shibata, Hashiba, and Niwa, and finally died on the way to attack the Tokugawa family's defense line.

He was shot all over his body, and he fell to death on the battlefield with his horse, even when he died, he was still in a charging posture.

The Takeda family is die-hard like this, and it is impossible to surrender at all.

Of course, unless Takeda Harunobu recognizes Ueda Nobukata as his adopted son and lets Ueda Nobukata inherit the Takeda family, so that Iitomi Genshiro will be loyal to Ueda Nobukata, this matter is not possible unless Takeda Harunobu is killed.

Abandoning all illusions, Nobukata Ueda made up his mind to kill Iitomi Genshiro, and he stared at Iitomi Genshiro, who was wearing red armor from the wall, and he had already led his troops to the land of an arrow, and the Bowashiki shot arrows at the command of Yazaki Heizou.

And in the army that the Iitomi family was attacking, there were also bows and feet hiding behind the wooden tree and throwing arrows in front of the mountain castle.

Soon, Iitomi Genshiro led the troops to within thirty steps, and Ueda Nobukata had clearly seen the fierce eyes in Iitomi Genshiro's face armor.

Ueda Nobukata pulled out his sword, pointed to where Genshiro Iitomi was, and shouted, "Heizou, aim at him!" ”

"Shoot!"

Thirty iron cannons were fired at the place where Iitomi Genshiro was located in three times, and after three shots, the wooden tree in the front row of Iitomi's army was damaged a lot, especially the wooden tree where Iitomi Genicshiro was located completely disappeared.

As for Iitomi Genshiro, he has been knocked down by the retainers and is not injured, but several of the retainers who saved him have died, and several others are seriously injured.

After the sound of the iron cannon stopped, the smoke dissipated after a while, and Ueda Nobukata desperately looked through the smoke to see where Shiro Iitomi was, and shouted: "Assault, assault from the horse exit!" ”

Ueda Nobukata saw that the Iitomi army's situation was a little chaotic, so he couldn't wait to let the Ma export troops rush out and repel the unstable Iitomi army.

As for Genichiro Iitomi, he was pulled out of the crowd by his subordinates around him, and he ran directly to the back, the army was already in chaos, and there was no need to fight anymore.

Fan Fu Huchang below looked at Qianshan City and frowned: "Iron cannon!" ”
