Chapter 72: Victory on Paper (I)

Tsuchiya Masatsune, who had killed the Oda army all the way to a losing place, was suddenly killed by a projectile from nowhere, and Maeda Toshiie's sharp eyes cut off his head for the first time, and shouted loudly with all his voices, which instantly reversed the morale of both sides.

Seeing this, the miscellaneous soldiers of the nearby Takeda Army turned around and ran away without looking back in an instant, and most of the ashigaru soldiers were also scattered, and the few unyielding samurai were quickly overwhelmed by the waves.

In a short period of time, Sasa and Maeda pushed the front back a little.

But soon, Takasaka Masanobu sent a third group of men, led by a wealthy family called "Sanada Nobutsuna", and regained the advantage in an instant.

Brave and resolute and cruel and severe, Sanada Nobutsuna did not hesitate to order the miscellaneous soldiers on the right who had fled from the front line to be slaughtered as enemies, and then swooped down with his own relatives and close ministers in a murderous manner.

Sasa Narumasa and Maeda Toshiya finally couldn't resist the embarrassment and retreated.

Under the fierce offensive, the original promise of "covering each other and evacuating alternately" was completely unrealizable, and when the samurai casualties reached a certain level, they could no longer restrain the soldiers, and finally turned into a panicked rout.

At the same time, although Mori Nagahide and Nonomura Masanari led Oda Nobutada's direct flag to support, they did not have the courage to cut their own people with knives, and the formation was not immune to many impacts, and they pulled over, and they were also very tight against Sanada Nobutsuna.

Fortunately, this has delayed a little bit of effort.

On the side of the Mino trio, Ando Mamoru made a conventional attack on the headquarters, and Inaba Ichitetsu led people to make a posture to coerce the rear and contain the enemy's attention, and then the clan Buquan suddenly stood out from the front, caught off guard, and made Takeda's right flank lose its defense.

In the other direction, Tokugawa Nobuyasu's Okazaki people showed combat effectiveness beyond the size of the army, and after a hard battle, gradually gained the upper hand, defeating the "traitor" Suganuma clan among the people of Mikawa Province, and also moved closer to the middle lane.

And in the southwest direction, you can already see the dust of the march, that is, more than 3,000 reinforcements led by Hirate Hideyi are about to arrive at the scene.

Under the comprehensive encouragement of all aspects, the Oda Army's Maori Nagahide and Nonomura Masanari barely supported it, while the Takeda Army's Sanada Nobutsuna judged the situation and naturally did not chase and fight, rushed to kill, shook his majesty, and left calmly.

The Oda Nakajun and the Tokugawa Okazaki people were very tired and had no idea of pursuit, only the Mino three people had some ideas, but after following for half an hour, they saw that the enemy was retreating without chaos, and the order was not lost, so they did not dare to ignore it.

The reinforcements of the draw Xiuyi came in a hurry, and it was very unhappy that he did not catch up with the fight, but he did not pursue as recklessly as he appeared on the outside, but carefully ordered the troops to form up and pay attention to precautions.

This confused battle is over, but there is still a lot of work behind.

First and foremost, the most important thing is to quickly find Oda Nobutada and Tokugawa Nobuyasu, make an official characterization of the entire process of the cause and effect of this battle, unify thinking, and determine understanding.

Among them, the mysterious joints are ever-changing, and the complexity is by no means under the battlefield.

Although the current side has a great advantage in terms of discourse, this advantage is not based on real strength after all, it is as strong as a wall on the beach but fragile, and it needs to be watered and strengthened from time to time.

You definitely need to think about it.

However, before that, the attention of the draw is temporarily focused on another thing -

It is said that the captain of the guard, Suzuki Hidemoto, with more than forty iron artillerymen, climbed into the bushes of the hill, and after sniping Tsuchiya Masahiro, the noise was so loud that his whereabouts were immediately exposed, and a small detachment of the Takeda Army immediately rushed over.

However, Suzuki Hidemoto lacked the consciousness to retreat with one blow, and after listening to Maeda Toshiie's shout, "Tsuchiya Masatsune has been taken", he was immersed in the joy of success for a while, and then reacted that the enemy had arrived in front of him.

These iron artillerymen all carried treasures worth hundreds of pounds, but they were not used for hand-to-hand combat—of course, they should turn around and run—but how could it be so simple to run?

Suzuki Hidemoto asked the others to retreat first, and he took a few of his subordinates to cover hard, and fought fiercely with the Takeda family's squad.

His martial arts are not superior, and his strength is not outstanding, this time he is less to more, and two subordinates died in a few times, and he also suffered a few injuries.

I thought I was about to take the service, but suddenly I saw an ally.

It turned out that Ke'er was provoked, and he was ready to assassinate Tsuchiya Changheng alone, but he never found a chance, and he didn't know what to do, and he saw that Suzuki Hidemoto was very brave after he was decisive, and he had a slight sense of appreciation in his heart, so he didn't hesitate to pull out his sword to help.

The martial arts of "bamboo sticks are hidden" has reached a very high level, and the gun in his hand is like an embroidery needle flying all over the sky, both accurate and powerful, as long as he is not besieged and loses his room to toss and turn, he can calmly deal with five or six people with a single gun. This time, he took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, jumped out of the grass, killed three people in a row, calmed the enemy soldiers, saved the lives of his colleagues, and turned back together.

When he returned to the front of the tie Tsuki Sho Xiuma, Ke'er hid that the oil skin was not broken, but Suzuki Hidemoto was covered in five wounds and covered in blood, but fortunately it was not injured and not fatal.

More than forty iron artillerymen, almost all of them were unharmed.

Except for one who was shot in the back of the neck by a stray arrow, and the other who tripped over a branch and fell and dislocated his upper limbs......

Pingshou saw his subordinates come back, looked at it for a while, saw that there was no big problem, and was a little relieved, and then thought of something, and frowned again.

Then, the captain of the personal guard named Tsunobu Ichikawa suddenly took two steps forward and accused, "Suzuki Temple! The Lord orders you to snipe from 300 paces away! How did you get to a position where you were a hundred paces away from the enemy? If it weren't for the enemy's negligence, and good luck, you could have almost broken dozens of specially made iron cannons! This is a serious loss for my family! ”

“…… Yes? Suzuki Hidemoto was stunned suddenly, and the smile on his face froze.

He didn't know what to say.

Everyone knows that this special iron cannon with rifled rifling can barely be reloaded twice in a quarter of an hour, and with this to snipe, there will definitely be no chance of a second salvo.

Just now, I was thinking about how to maximize the hit rate, thinking carefully on the hillock, repeatedly adjusting the firing location, and unconsciously, subconsciously getting closer, completely unaware that the order had been violated.

Ke'er, who was holding him on the side, retorted unconvinced: "This is a difference! What can still be hit 300 steps away, it is purely a merchant deception! Human eyesight can't reach that far! This guy is doing the right thing! What's more, he not only killed the enemy general, but also brought back the soldiers safely, and he had no merit! ”

Ichikawa Tsuyoshi snorted and didn't respond, secretly revealing his smugness.

It doesn't matter if it can be public or not three hundred steps away, anyway, it is the lord's golden words, who dares to refute it, wouldn't it not give the lord face?

This is only hidden, the spear skills are really clever, but the people are inevitably very ignorant of current affairs......

Seeing that the retainers were about to quarrel, Tieshou Hidehide slowly spoke: "Suzuki Hidemoto has no merit, this is not wrong." I also thought about it just now, sniping an enemy general 300 steps away is indeed a bit sensational, whether it is an exaggeration of 'Harutaya', it is necessary to investigate. If you think about it carefully, there are no practical examples to support it, and you shouldn't listen to the report and believe it easily. ”

When the words landed, Ichikawa Tsunobu couldn't believe it and was greatly disappointed, Suzuki Hidemoto was relieved and let out a sigh of relief, but Keer Caizang was proud.

But then he said again: "As for you, Ke'er is hiding...... Since it is believed that it is impossible to snipe three hundred steps away...... Then when I gave the order just now, why didn't I stop it? ”

"This ...... This ......"

Hearing that "bamboo sticks are hidden", the smug color suddenly disappeared, and I was embarrassed.

At this time, Hirate Hideyoshi finally settled the team and hurried over, and the envoys from Oda and Tokugawa also arrived almost at the same time and invited Hirate Honhide to discuss the matter.
