Chapter 67: Flying Horse Rescue

I got all the news in the evening. The ranks of the lower divisions of the Tieshou Tsusho were uneven, less than half of the elite, and they were absolutely not allowed to march at night, so they had plenty of time to consider the trade-offs.

Compared to the helpless time when I first arrived in Owari some time ago, I saw that even Cheongju Castle was lost, and although the choice in front of me was a headache, it was not very painful.

No matter what goes wrong, it won't capsize.

It's a big deal to turn back a few hundred miles and shrink to Izumi, and see if you can fight all the way through the long supply line from Kai to Kyoto.

Of course, that is an expedient measure when there is no choice, and the blow to the face is very serious.

Especially after he once angrily reprimanded Takeda outside the walls of the Imperial Palace.

Not only did the protagonist hesitate, but the ministers also had different opinions. Many generals are at their posts, and they have no time to express their opinions, and only a few are in the Chinese army, and their views are completely different.

After nightfall, when Hirate summoned all the dignitaries, inquired about the camp affairs, and served meals, he mentioned this issue in passing.

Then, Kawada Nagakin, who had been in Shikoku for a long time and had just returned to the center, thought that the main thing should be to rescue Oda Nobutada, so as to prevent the friendly forces from hearing that Gifu Castle had been looted and the army would be defeated; After being promoted to "powerful general", he was qualified to discuss matters, and he felt that the most important thing from the military corner was to take Kariya Castle and ensure continuous communication with Tokugawa Ieyasu; Iwanari Yutsu, who has experienced a hundred battles and served as a military commissioner, insists that it is the best choice to concentrate the main force to kill Takeda Katsuyori's elite soldiers, and there is no hurry to help friendly forces.

Kato Kyoaki, who was steady and cautious in nature, did not express his stance to participate in the dispute, and Asano Nagayoshi, who had always been reckless, sensed the serious atmosphere and did not dare to be presumptuous, and the two representatives of the guest army on the Shikoku side, who considered themselves outsiders, were inconvenient to speak, and only after being invited did they say, "We Shikoku people have always believed in Kawada-sama's vision. ”

Seeing that everyone did not have any unified and constructive opinions, Tieshou Fanxiu did not elaborate further, and let everyone have a battlefield dinner and left.

Honda Masanobu had been frowning and thinking without squeaking, and he was also the last to leave, and before stepping out of the camp, he suddenly said: "My subordinates think that instead of considering the trade-offs between the three directions from the perspective of military science, we might as well change our approach and think about the similarities and differences between Tokugawa Mikawa, Oda Sakin, and Takeda Katsuyori." ”

Inspired by it, Hirata Tsunoshi's mind turned, and an instant aura was generated, which immediately called him and left him to talk in detail.

A bit of strategic planning is not a problem.

Early the next morning, after listening to the scout's report and not finding any changes in the vicinity, Hirate Hirate made a decision and decisively ordered that in addition to Hirate Hideyoshi's headquarters continuing to move forward and taking care of the Oda army, all the generals (including Nakamura Kazuji, who was in the second striker) under the command of Kawada Nagakin, Iwanari Tomotsu and others, immediately pulled out the camp and besieged Kariya Castle.

At the same time, from the reserve teams of each banner, the sturdy military horses were drawn in proportion to one place, and a total of six or seven hundred horses were gathered.

And the general himself, with only 300 personal guards, one person and two drivers, to catch up with the 3,000 pioneers of the tie Hideyoshi, together with them, to assist Oda Nobutada. During this time, Yan Chiyomaru, who has not yet been served, will be used as a representative, wearing the family heirloom array of feathers, holding the military match, and sitting in the horse seal.

"If there is any accident on the battlefield over there, with only 3,000 people in Keiji, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change the overall situation. But if I had been there in person, I might have been able to find a way to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the two countries. ”

That's what Hinode said.

This, of course, surprised the retainers and admonished them one after another.

The old revolutionaries have seen the world, and their eloquence is different, at least the words "the son of a daughter can't sit down" is blurted out.

However, Tie Fan Xiu did not reason with them, waved his hand solemnly, his expression was grim, and only one sentence of "I have made up my mind" made people speechless.

Everyone suddenly didn't dare to say more.

Then the immature Yan Chiyomaru calmly came out of the ranks, took over the feather weaving, military equipment, seals, Tang umbrellas and other things, and said that he would do his best to take on the responsibility of the son of the samurai, so the retainers were also a little relieved.

Hisho Honxiu said approvingly, "The real family!" Then he turned over and got on his horse, and without looking back, led the soldiers away.

Three hundred soldiers, one man and two horses, set off at two o'clock, galloped away towards the northeast, only two hours, and caught up with their own vanguard of 3,000 at noon.

After taking a short rest, I listened to the news from the front and learned that there was indeed a scuffle in the Fukuya and Hirose areas in the northwest of Mikawa yesterday, and the outcome has not yet been decided, and the battle should continue today, but I don't know what the specific battle situation is.

So Heishou took away two or three hundred elite soldiers, including Keer Caizang and Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and ordered them all to ride on horses, and set off together to march to the camp of Oda Nobutada, and at the same time ordered Keiji to speed up his pace and follow as soon as possible.

It was more than an hour before the first hour of the time to set out, and to continue onward, as the scout had said, saw several tents.

Ascending to the heights and holding the "Thousand Miles Tube", distinguished by the color of the flag, within a radius of dozens of steps, you can see the armies of the three forces. Oda in the west, Takeda in the north, both large troops, and Tokugawa in the south, are much smaller.

It's just that in the current field of vision, it can be faintly seen that the dense red spots in the north of Takeda Gunyama Prefecture and Takasaka seem to be violently attacking the Okazaki people of Tokugawa Nobuyasu in the south, while the deployment of Oda Nobutada in the west seems to be far away from 1,800 paces, and there is no movement, only some sparse teams and Takeda are engaged in low-intensity aerial firefights.

Seeing this draw, Fan Xiu was not puzzled, and his heart was not good. But in an instant, a smile appeared again, and he said to himself: "Since I am still here, then there is salvation, so it can be seen that I came just right, and it is not too late." ”

Although I don't know how these three parties got together and fought so messily, the current situation can be inferred.

Yesterday was probably a day of fierce fighting, and no one took advantage of it, and they were wary of each other. And this morning, or last night, Oda Nobutada's side also learned that the area around Gifu Castle had been poisoned by Takeda Katsuyori, and the morale of the army was suddenly shaken, and the upper echelons were divided on the next move, and the whole army fell into chaos.

Yamaprefecture and Takasaka, who wanted to come to Takeda, were both experienced and good generals, and they must have sensed the abnormality of the Oda army from the subtleties, and immediately seized the opportunity to attack the Tokugawa family's Okazaki people, who were weak first, while the main enemy was in a daze.

On the other hand, Tokugawa Nobuyasu didn't understand the whole story, and he couldn't understand the enemy's actions, so I'm afraid he was still urging his allies to hurry up......

After having his own opinion, Hirata Honhide made up his mind, and hurriedly ordered Yamauchi Kazutoyo, Keer Caizo and others to take hundreds of cavalry to attack Takeda and help Tokugawa Shinyasudo hold on for a while.

I only left a few close guards, and drove into Oda Nobutada's camp almost alone.
