"Big brother, big brother! Wrong! Just as Asahina Taichao and his retainers were at a loss for what to do on the small hill, Asahina Taiheng suddenly rode up from the camp on horseback, and many of his retainers coughed with the dust raised by the horses' hooves. Asahi Taehyung rushed straight into the crowd, and only in front of the crowd did he pull the reins sharply and hurriedly turn over and dismount.

"Matsuchiyo! What's the matter with you! I almost hit someone! Asahina Taichao was already upset, and he was even more annoyed after being made by his younger brother, "How old is it!" Still so reckless! ”

"That's not right! Brother! We can't get into the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain! However, Asahina Taehyung did not pay any attention to his brother's reprimand, but shouted in panic: "The Takeda army on this road is slow to attack!" Maybe it's a suspicious soldier! Isn't it just a bluff routine for them to make a big fuss! I can't imagine that the Takeda Army that came here only had those Tanma, and these camps and flags were all fictitious by them! The main force of the Takeda Army may still be on the main road we originally identified as in the west! ”

A word wakes up the dreamer.

"Oops!" Asahinai Taichao slapped his head on the ground, "No wonder... No wonder the Takeda Army was reluctant to attack even if it ran out of food and grass... Your Highness Okabe, there are only 3,000 people there..."

"Your Highness don't have to worry," said an elder of the Asahinai Dynasty with relief, "that valley mouth is narrow and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are only 3,000 people, it will definitely not be easy to capture!" It's enough for His Highness Okabe to warn us! ”

"The problem is that it's Motoshin Okabe! It's none other than that! Asahina Taehyung was already so anxious that his face was flushed, and the green tendons on his forehead were bursting out. He shouted at Asahina Taichao without hesitation, "Brother! That guy has always had a good relationship with the Takeda family! It's possible for him to do anything! His Royal Highness the Governor is in Kambarajo, ten miles south of Taniguchi! That's almost an empty city! If the Takeda family is allowed to fight and take Kambara Castle, not only will His Royal Highness be more than lucky, but our army will also be trapped in the east of Suruga and will not be able to return to Sunfu! ”

At this point, everyone understands what Asahina Taehyung means. Asahinai Taichao's face was pale, and without saying a word, he beckoned his retainers to hurry back and gather troops.

"Matsuchiyo, you take the cavalry to the Takeda family's camp to find out! Let's see if it's an empty camp! If it's an empty battalion, send a signal immediately, and I'll lead the whole army back to help! When Asahina Taichao walked to the gate of the camp, he instructed Asahina Taiheng.

"Yes! Eldest brother! ”

·

A moment later, Asahi Taehyung opened the camp gate with 400 cavalry and headed straight for the Takeda family's camp. The guards of the Takeda family who were standing on the camp wall saw that someone was attacking, but they had no intention of resisting at all, and fled towards the camp without saying a word. Seeing this, Asahi Binai Taichao no longer needed to wait for the signal, and with a wave of his hand, the several reserves that had been assembled immediately went south to help. The auxiliaries carried a large amount of baggage, followed the pace of the soldiers, and stepped on the official road like a rolling torrent.

Asahina Taehyung led his army straight to the camp gate of Takeda's house, only to find that the camp gate was closed. They came in a hurry, carrying no siege equipment, so they had to force their loads. After tossing for a long time, the camp gate was kicked open by a big foot. I saw that although the first camp was full of flags and cooking kettles, it was empty, and there were no soldiers, and I could only vaguely see the ashigaru who had just stood on the camp wall and pretended to be fleeing in embarrassment. In this long and narrow mountain, the Takeda family's boundless company camp is also fluttering with flags.

"Damn! Scammed! Asahi Bina Taiheng glared fiercely at the Wind Forest Volcano Army Banner standing tall in the valley, turned the horse's head and clamped the horse's belly, and walked away, "Go!" Let's go back to Kambara immediately! ”

"Your Highness, don't you want to take a look at the camp in the back again?" An attendant who followed closely behind asked in a loud voice.

"Look at the fart!" Asahina Taehyung was angry and yelled angrily, "Haven't you been tricked enough!" It must be all empty camps! ”

Asahina Taiheng led the cavalry quickly southward, speeding through the fields on the left side of the official road, passing the auxiliary brigade that was dense like a torrent, and following the main battle force of the Imagawa family.

He didn't look back at the Wind Forest Volcano Banner.

At just before 5 o'clock in the afternoon of April 26, 1568, Okabe Motonobu, who was located at the mouth of the tenri valley north of Kambara-jo Castle, received an urgent military dispatch from the Asahinai Tai Dynasty.

"What do you mean? The main force of the Takeda family is still with me? After listening to the report of the envoy of the Asahina family, Okabe Motonobu immediately gasped. As everyone knows, this envoy has already made the consciousness of death before entering the camp, and if Okabe Motoshin wants to rebel, he must be taken down immediately.

"His Royal Highness Okabe Mingjian!" The envoy gasped and replied, "The Takeda army on the eastern road has not moved for two days, and it is estimated that it is a suspicious soldier!" The main force is still here! His Royal Highness Asahina has come with all his might, and I hope His Highness Okabe can hold on! ”

"This Asahina Taehyung who killed a thousand knives!" Hearing this, Okabe Motoshin scolded, "You must say that there will be a Takeda army coming from the east!" How is it possible for a large army to pass through such a narrow road? Now it's all right! Fooled for it! ”

"Hurry up and get out of here!" Okabe Motonobu scolded and blasted the envoy of the Asahina family out of the tent, and then immediately climbed a high mountain to observe the situation. Sure enough, it seemed that the Takeda army had made an appointment to attack today, and the Takeda family's camp, which had been standing still for a long time, slowly opened its gate, and immediately after, an army with distinct armor drove out of it and came towards the Imagawa family's position.

"That's Naito Masatoyo's Uenohus..."Okabe Motonobu took a deep breath and said silently in his heart, "It's always time to come." ”

However, the development of events immediately exceeded Okabe Motonobu's expectations.

Naito's troops slowly marched in the direction of the Imagawa family's defensive line, but came to a tacit halt beyond the effective range of the bow and arrow.

"What does this mean? Don't you storm yet? Okabe Motonobu stared at this force with his eyes, and suddenly there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, "Our main force is about to return to help, and if we don't attack you, we won't have a chance." ”

Or is it...

·

Just as the troops led by Asahina Taichao and Asahina Taiheng were rapidly retreating south to Kambara-jo, there was a sudden loud noise and exclamation from the auxiliary troops in the far north.

"What's going on, what a fuss!" Asahina Taichao scolded in an angry whisper. He then turned his horse's head, rode up a hill on the side of the road, and looked at the group behind him—but he was stunned.

Am I dazzled?

The Takeda Ling military flag flying high in the sun... What's going on!

I saw that in the valley of Fujinomiya, which was still silent and unoccupied just now, a steady stream of troops from the Takeda family were pouring out!

·

"Damn! No way! Seeing this, Asahina Taehyung exclaimed, "Where did you come from! Could it be that only the first barracks were empty! Are there people in the barracks in the back? ”

"You brute! What a mistake! Asahinai Taichao viciously raised his horsewhip and whipped Asahina Taiheng fiercely, leaving a bloody mark on his neck, "So many people didn't see it! Tell me it's an empty camp? As a result, we withdrew from the defensive line, and our good defense turned into being pursued! What are you doing? ”

"How do I know!" Asahina Taehyung yelled indignantly and guiltily, "Who knew that the Takeda family would act so realistically!" They are really determined, waiting for us to retreat if they don't attack for a day and a half! If we don't evacuate them, they'll be finished, and if I visit a few more camps, they might be finished! Where did you come from so boldly! ”

"That's the Great Chef... We don't have to be surprised at what he did..."Asahina Taichao's eyes gradually changed from anger to fear, and from fear to despair, "This art of war... Even if the first lord is resurrected, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist... I never thought it would be such a ploy... The sound of the east strikes the west and then the east, the virtual and the real, the real and the virtual. ”

·

"It's as fast as the wind."

On the long battlefield from Fujinomiya to Yoshiwara, tens of thousands of troops gathered here. And in the hills on the west side of the official road, the first Takeda family reserve to rush out of the valley was advancing at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people. Ignoring the helpless auxiliaries on the official road and the hastily lined up Imagawa clan soldiers, they instead made a straight approach to Kambara-Castle, the back road of the Imagawa family. Asahinai Taichao didn't expect that this army would be like a gale, leaving the battlefield and driving straight back, and it was too late to react. He looked at the unit with remorse and despair, recognizable by the flag flying high—it was the banner of Masanobu Takasaka.

·

"It's like a forest."

Located on the high mountain of Kamihara Castle by Taniguchi, Okabe Motonobu has a good view, and has already seen the great changes in the battle situation in the east - the main force of the Imagawa family has been played by Takeda Shingen's false and real situation, and he has given up his impregnable camp and is being pursued on the battlefield.

"I must go for reinforcements immediately! Otherwise, the situation will be out of control! Okabe Motonobu quickly made a judgment and at the same time ordered, "Give up the position!" Lure out the Takeda army behind our ass and kill them before we go for reinforcements! ”

However, although the Imagawa family abandoned their positions and made a gesture of rapid retreat, the Takeda army, led by Naito Masatoyo, was as calm as ever. Their march and turn into a board at a glance, with a tacit understanding. The whole army was quiet and neat, orderly and orderly, without the slightest panic and restlessness, as if it were a windless pine forest, silently biting Okabe Motonobu's troops so that he could not get out.

·

"Aggression is like fire."

At the same time, on the battlefield in the east, the second reserve that rushed out of the valley mouth was a cavalry team dressed in crimson and feet. Although there were only a few hundred of them, they were fearless and rushed straight towards the tens of thousands of troops of the Imagawa family! They burned mercilessly into the formation like a blazing fire, and the Imagawa family's defenders did not even do anything to block it, and the defense line was broken through in an instant. The cavalry team slaughtered, brandished the katana in its hand, urged the horses under it, and charged with no relent. Blood flowed everywhere he passed, and stumps and severed arms were everywhere. The galloping momentum of thousands of troops and horses and the sharp spirit of the man to block and kill people frightened the auxiliaries of the Imagawa family and the soldiers who immediately rushed to reinforce them, and almost did not resist much, so they left their baggage and formation and fled in all directions.

It was the proud unit of the Takeda family, and it was also a well-known reserve in the whole world - Takeda Akabei. And in the torrent of charge, the leader was their leader, the head of the Four Heavenly Kings of Takeda, the fierce general Yama Yama Changjing, who was wearing a white silk power and a big golden spade-shaped pocket!

·

"Immovable as a mountain."

Asahinai Taichao watched as the rearguard was almost crushed under Takeda Akabei's attack, and his eyes were completely blank at this moment. His troops had only just been reorganized at this moment due to a surprise attack. He immediately formed a battle formation, intending to take advantage of the fact that the Takeda family still had a large number of soldiers who could not get out of the narrow valley pass, and relied on the superiority of troops to roll back.

He had all but abandoned his rearguard and auxiliaries, using them to attract the attention of Akabi, while he gambled and led his main force from the hills on the west side of the official road to the Fujinomiya Taniguchi, where the Imagawa family had previously camped. As long as the camp can be recaptured, the remaining tens of thousands of people of the Takeda family will be blocked in Taniguchi, and only the two troops of Takasaka Masanobu and Yama Prefecture Masaka Masakai are outside, and the battle situation is still promising. But if it fails... The entire army would have fallen into an encirclement because it did not retreat in time. However, Asahina Taichao, who is usually calm, is like a gambler above, and he has already lost his eyes and rushes forward regardless of it.

Now defending in the camp is the third Takeda family unit that has just walked out of the valley. There is no earth-shattering momentum, and there is no beautiful armor.

Asahinai Tai thought that his army would easily disperse this force and retake the camp. However, no matter how he attacked, this army was nailed to the camp like a rock, relying on resilience and desperate strength to fight to the death. Asahina Taichao noticed that this army was flying the banner of Baba Nobuharu, who was known as the immortal Oni Mino! That's one of the best warriors in the Takeda family!

·

Asahina Tai was unable to attack for a long time, and as he saw more and more Takeda troops rushing out of Taniguchi, he realized that the general trend had turned. Helpless and sad, he looked up to the sky and roared, but happened to see a flag flying high on the hill not far away.

The banner was clearly written with four big characters - wind, forest, fire, and mountain.

And under the banner stood a middle-aged samurai who still gave people a huge pressure even if they were separated by hundreds of zhang. He was dressed in a red array of feathers, wearing a delicate white yak-tailed golden helmet on his head, and at this time he was slowly tapping his palm with a picking, looking at the battle situation in front of him with a playful gaze, and at the same time slowly chanting:

"Wind, forest, fire, mountain."
