Chapter 106: Victory and Defeat

"Bastard! If you don't have a score, why stop me! ”

When he got the news, Takeda Katsuyori's head seemed to have been dizzy by the blood, and he was about to draw his sword and go to the front line to live and die with the soldiers, but he didn't hear any opinions at all, and even whipped the herald on the head with a horsewhip, with a hideous face.

Left and right are silent like cicadas, and no one dares to persuade.

The head of the Takeda family, Xinhu, has always had only one word to kill in the face of dissent. The head of the previous generation believed in Xuan, and his methods were more tolerant, but he also had a strict system, and his eyes were like a torch and could not be disobeyed.

After decades of continuous edification, the atmosphere of prohibiting orders and following the law has become a concept that all Jiaxin people habitually follow without any doubts.

Even if the upper echelons are close to each other, a group of people and the old family members of the spectrum family are intriguing with each other, once they receive the military order, they will still try their best to complete it instead of shirking it, not to mention the retainers and soldiers of the middle and lower classes.

At this moment, the defenders of Futamatata Castle replied that the mouth of the river had been lost, that the general situation was gone, and that it was time to die of loyalty, and that they should retreat as soon as possible.

However, the general insisted on going his own way and saying that "the victory and defeat are not divided", everyone knew that it was unreasonable, and knew that he was dizzy, but they did not dare to speak out and admonish.

Only Nagasaka Mitsuken, a "traitorous villain" with poor popularity, his thin body burst out of strength out of nowhere, and resolutely stood in front of him, pushing Takeda Katsuyori back two steps, and scolded fiercely-

"My lord! Please come to your senses! The estuary is lost, the reinforcements from Naitoden cannot be reached, and we are already alone in the future! While there is still someone who can help break the queen, hurry up and retreat to the river and return to the Ashigasaki Pavilion, otherwise the famous family of Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu of the Kiyokawa Genji clan will really be over! This is not the time to be reckless, dying on the battlefield is just a small bravery, and lying on the salary and tasting courage is a big husband! ”

Takeda's face was stunned at first, then furious, and then defeated.

Suddenly, he screamed, hammered his chest twice, and turned away in obedience.

Silent.

……

Tokugawa Ieyasu had already been unsteady on his feet several times, and almost fell to the ground, but he managed to survive with a will not to give up.

He inherited the most orthodox martial arts education since he was a child, and never slackened off in the study of the way of swords, bows and horses, and was a strong opponent who was enough to rival several people. However, under the influence of Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Yukisai, he has always believed that the general should focus on sitting in command and does not need to be too forward-looking.

Such a mentality makes people a little more calm and rational, and a little less enthusiastic and brave.

In the past battles, there have been many deeds of Tokugawa Ieyasu personally shooting enemy soldiers and generals with iron cannons and bows and arrows, but there are no examples of white soldiers who have been on the front line to win the first rank.

But today, due to the terrain and situation, he could not use long-range weapons, so he could only muster up the courage to stand in the front row, and use the power of words and voice to increase the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers.

Naturally, it also attracts quite a bit of attention.

Nowadays, many people believe that Tokugawa Ieyasu, who won Mikawa and Enoe, is qualified to inherit the title of "Tokaido's No. 1 Bowtori" from Imagawa Yoshimoto, and that it is not unremarkable to be awarded the title of "Tokaido's No. 1 Bowtori".

Fortunately, Osuka, Watanabe, and Ando, the three retainers of the flag were on their side, and Yasumasa Kamihara was even more close to guard every inch and always protected him.

After a long period of fierce fighting, when the opponent and friendly troops continued to fall to the ground and die, the flesh and blood were scattered all over the field, and everyone's ears, eyes and nerves were gradually numb and blurred, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who looked very weak, suddenly brightened his eyes, and he was full of pride, pointing ahead and shouting: "Takeda has withdrawn!" The enemy's commander-in-chief abandoned his troops and fled alone! I think...... It must have been a friendly army that had ambushed an army, and the estuary had changed hands! ”

After a while, under his reminder, more and more people gradually realized this.

The situation is taking a turn for the worse!

Realizing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, eager to try.

But as soon as he took a step, he saw Kamihara Yasumasa flying like a fly, and with a light sound, he stepped forward with a gun, stabbing to death a retainer who was looking back in a panic, setting off a wave of counterattack.

and intentionally or unintentionally blocked his own general behind him.

……

Sasa Xiucheng looked at the enemy general who fell in a pool of blood in front of him, and his heart was mixed, he didn't know what it was like, and he was even a little panicked.

This deceased person is known as the "immortal ghost Mino", one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Takeda", who has survived 60 battles without being injured, and his reputation has spread far and wide in the world, and it is impossible to ignore the fierce rival of the Baba Nobubo.

But at the same time, he is also a decrepit old man who is close to his grade, and he is a tired soldier who has been holding on to the city for more than four months in a lack of food and clothing.

The soldiers had already happily cut off the heads and sent them to the horses to be processed.

Looking at the other party's blood, mud and dust, the original color of the carcass pills could not be seen at all, and the silver-white hair and beard leaking from the gaps in the face armor, Sasa Xiucheng's mood was slightly depressed.

It was this guy just now, after being repulsed again and again, suddenly with only twenty or thirty remnants of the soldiers, he was surrounded by the water, and after a fierce battle for about a quarter of an hour, he was all killed.

During this time, the battle situation gradually cooled down, and Takeda Katsuyori's home formation is likely to ...... He had already crossed the river from somewhere else and managed to abscond—Hidesei Sasa was not confident enough in his battlefield experience, but the fact that the enemy was retreating in full force was still visible.

Now is it time to be happy to win over the enemy's famous generals? Or should we regret missing out on the opportunity to achieve greater feats?

It's really subtle unwillingness.

Sasa Hidesei knows that whether it is a wise father-in-law or a brave and combative colleague general, there are no superfluous requirements for him, as long as he plays the role of a suspicious soldier. Now it can be regarded as having a greater impact on the battle situation, and it has exceeded expectations.

But - is it worth it to be self-righteous that more than two thousand people were dragged by fifty people and could not really hold the riverbank?

I know how warm and cold I am.

……

Masatoyo Naito let out a sigh of relief.

"Really? The lord was spared, and it was a blessing of heaven. ”

There was probably only one-tenth of the happiness in his tone, and the other nine-tenths of the time was exhaustion.

I have tried my best and spent all my efforts, but I still can't get a suitable result, which can only be attributed to the lack of talent.

Shame on the ancestors, shameless in the world.

As a lieutenant who knows the general situation and knows people's hearts, Naito would rather blame himself than criticize his partner.

The lord's decision to fight today is actually a bit rash, and although the snow is a restriction for the enemy, it is not insurmountable. The hasty attack on Tianlongchuan was somewhat affected by factors outside the battlefield.

But those factors are understandably frustrating.

Takeda Nobutoyo and Anayama Nobuyoshi may have reservations, but today on the battlefield they still followed the orders normally and completed the task, at most they can only be said to be not desperate enough.

But you shouldn't be so demanding of people in the first place.

As a fierce general in Ueno, Nobusada Kohata behaved abnormally, being too easily affected by the defeat of friendly forces, giving up the estuary, and then never being able to recapture it with his hands free.

But victory and defeat are commonplace, how can you be too harsh?

"There is no point in holding on, the armies retreat in turn, and I will stay behind the palace."

Naito's words are very calm.

The herald was stunned, but he did not dare to question it in any way, nor did he dare to delay it in the slightest.

However, a tall and mighty gun-wielding warrior who looked like King Kong immediately stepped forward and said loudly, "Wait, I have an objection!" ”

Hearing this, Naito Masatoyo was not surprised, and was stunned for a moment before asking, "Gentaro, what do you want to say?" ”

The samurai, known as "Gentaro", said solemnly, "How can you hold the position of a dangerous queen with your status?" Please teach me Sanada Nobutsuna to do it for me! ”

Naito Masatyo immediately shook his head and chuckled: "What are these words?" As a martial artist, the higher the status and the greater the fame, the more responsibility should be held. I understand what you mean, but ......"

"That's not right!" Sanada Nobutsuna interrupted loudly, and then in the stunned eyes of a circle of soldiers, he said bluntly without scruples: "This is not a matter of status, identity, fame, or family, but a question that must be yours!" What is the situation of the Takeda family now, can't we see it from the outside? Who else can unite the retainers, put aside disputes, and work together, but you, Naito-sama? ”

Naito Masato, whose official name is repaired, is granted by the private minister of the Takeda family, and is not officially recognized.

But at this moment, it is still majestic.

Naito Masatyo didn't know how to answer for a while, and a variety of emotions gathered together, and his heart shook slightly.

I don't know how many years it took me to feel compassion for others instead of being compassionate.

Sanada Nobutsuna's tone and expression were extremely firm, and there was no hesitation at all.
