Chapter 325: Headless

Although the Takeda army sent to counterattack was defeated, it was not completely annihilated, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, who commanded the pursuit, had to be careful of these Takeda troops while maintaining a solid formation. After all, if the Takeda Army can make up its mind to drop supplies to delay and disrupt the offensive of the coalition army, it can organize wave after wave of offensives, after all, the Takeda army did not lose many people in the previous joint battle, but the coalition army lost more people.

Now that the pursuing army is already all the living forces of the existing coalition forces, even if the momentum is overwhelming, you must be careful of the counterattack of the Takeda army. Therefore, after the coalition forces rushed and killed, they slowed down the pace of their advance to ensure the integrity and stability of the formation.

Looking at the Takeda Army that was scattered and fleeing in front of him, Zuo Bingwei felt a little anxious in his heart, if he was too cautious, how could he regain Lin Xiuzhen's head. If you don't take back Lin Xiuzhen's head, how can you gain the trust of Oda Nobunaga and continue to hitch a ride on the Oda family.

Thinking of this, Sabei looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu's location. At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu commanded the rapid advance of the army formation, and at the same time sent a cavalry team to the front to find out the situation.

It didn't take long for the Takeda military flag, which had been getting farther and farther away, to return again, but this time there were more Hojo family flags in the military flag.

Tokugawa Ieyasu had already understood when he saw this, and the words of encouragement were only encouragement after all, although the Takeda army broke and fled, the absolute superiority of the troops made defeating the Takeda army and capturing Sunfu Castle a somewhat illusory word. However, Tokugawa Ieyasu still saw the enemy army and sorted out his next plan.

Under the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the coalition forces changed their formation and rushed towards the Takeda Army and the Hojo Army that were killing. The allied forces that were like arrows pierced straight into the Takeda army, which fired the iron cannons.

The sword-wielding Sabei entered the Takeda army along with the powerful friendly forces around him, and the Takeda army, which had originally maintained the formation, no longer paid attention to the formation at the moment of engagement, and directly fought with the Oritoku coalition army that rushed into the formation.

Sabei led his troops to rampant through the Takeda army, following Tokugawa Ieyasu forward and waiting for an opportunity to find the traces of the Hojo army. However, the Takeda army was not a general, and after being charged and killed by the Weaving Coalition Army for a while, it began to besiege the flank of the Weaving Coalition Army, and intended to divide the coalition forces that rushed into the formation.

Sabei slashed down a Takeda samurai with his sword, then unleashed the spear that attacked him, and with the assistance of Fujido Takatora, he killed the Hojo samurai who attacked him. After cutting down the Hojo samurai, Sabei looked around and said to Fujido Takatora, "This is the first samurai of the Hojo family to be cut down, and it seems that the Hojo army is nearby!" ”

Hearing this, Fujido Takatora and the others nodded, and then slashed down Takeda Ashigaru, who was killing Sahei, and followed Sabei forward to continue killing.

The hard work paid off, and after a fight, Sabei and his entourage finally saw the withered yellow Hachiman Great Bodhisattva military flag fluttering not far away. Seeing this, Sabei rushed over there with his subordinates, and along the way, he defeated many Takeda troops who blocked the way, and he also paid a certain amount of casualties.

In the distance, after discovering the momentum of the Sabei guards rushing towards him, the Hojo clan immediately put aside a few scattered Tokugawa samurai around him, and led more than 100 Hachiman Huangbei commanded by Shang Ke to kill the Sabei guard. Sabei's deceptive plan to pretend to redeem Lin Xiuzhen's head made the Takeda Army and the Hojo Army let down a lot of their guard, and as a result, the camp was attacked that night, which not only directly caused 100 casualties of the Hojo Army, but also caused a riot and caused dozens of more casualties in the Hojo Army. The most important thing is that the grain is burned, which makes it even more difficult for the Hojo clan, who has already eaten up the dry food they carried.

It's really a red eye when the enemy meets, and as soon as the Sabei and the Hojo clan come into contact, the battle directly enters the white-hot stage, and the amazing Hachiman Huangbei is not an ordinary samurai can stop. Although Sabei had three times the strength of the Hojo clan, his troops could barely withstand the Hojo clan's attack.

Sabei's attendants and the humerus beside him are not inferior to these Hachiman Huangbei, but the number is far inferior to Hachiman's Huangbei. The Hojo clan was bent on taking the head of Sabei, and after killing three people in a row on horseback, he waved a broken gold rod to kill Sabei.

Before Sabei, who had just chopped down the Yellow Hachiman in front of him, he saw the broken gold rod leave an afterimage, and the whistling stick wind struck at his head. Before he had time to think about it, Sabei crouched down to avoid the fatal blow, and then plunged the knife into the horse's belly with his backhand.

Hojo Shigeru, who rushed past Sabei, swung his stick and forced Sakami Heiji and Fushiwa Akijiro away, then turned his horse's head and swung his stick to continue to kill Sabei.

Sabei, who was without a sword, immediately became someone else's prey, and a Hachiman Huangbei, who was armed with a sword, took advantage of the situation to bully him, and slashed at Sabei's neck with a swing of his sword. Fortunately, Sabei reacted quickly, and the spare small knife at his waist was pulled out instantly, and after resisting the man's slash, he cut off the man's thumb with his backhand, and after snatching the knife in his hand, he kicked him away.

At this time, the Hojo clan also beat the horse and killed it, and Sabei looked at it with a knife, and suddenly found that there was something wrapped in a flag finger hanging on the saddle of the Hojo clan. Seeing this, Sabei's heart moved, and between the two of them, he slashed the snatched knife into the horse's leg.

Sabei, who rolled up from the ground, glanced at the somewhat curly bladed sword, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. Although he escaped the impact of the war horse, the Hojo clan still threw out the broken gold rod before the war horse fell, and although the force was not great, it smashed firmly on the back of the Sabei guard.

Akijiro Fushiwa and others who arrived protected Sabei behind him, and Hachiman Huangbei, who came later, also rescued the Hojo clan, who was held down by the horse.

During the confrontation between the two sides, Fujitang Gaohu picked up the package on the saddle in his hand with the ten-character gun he had snatched. Zuo Bingwei opened the package and saw that Lin Xiuzhen's head, which had been faintly **, was lying in it.

Sabei was overjoyed, and when he saw that Hachiman was slowly retreating behind the Hojo clan, he no longer pursued, but instead commanded his troops to approach the Tachiaoi Pattern Banner of Honda Tadashikatsu.

The Hojo Army was covered by the Hojo clan's heavy injuries and withdrew from the battlefield under the cover of the Hojo clan's heavy injuries, which also caused the Takeda army to be unstable and gradually had the intention of retreating. After another fierce battle between the two armies, the Takeda Army began to withdraw from the battlefield. Tokugawa Ieyasu also saw that his troops had suffered many casualties, and had no intention of advancing further, so after hastily packing up the supplies that were easy to carry, he immediately retreated to Makinohara.

Seeing that the coalition forces took the initiative to retreat, the Takeda Army did not pursue it, but retreated back again after sorting out the subsequent rout.
