Chapter 110: A Chance to Make a Name

Takeda Yoshinobu only felt his blood boiling, and even his senses seemed to be sharper than usual, and he cleanly blocked the sporadic arrows with a spear, and Takeda Yoshinobu suddenly pulled the reins, leaped over the destroyed guardrail on the periphery, and stabbed the cross spear into the chest of a panicked Ashigaru. Then he picked it up hard, and after overturning the other party, he immediately drew his gun to help each other, blocking the sword of a Uesugi samurai, and between the two horses, Takeda Yoshinobu held the gun in one hand, and the other hand instantly drew the knife, and the head of the opponent was already taken off in the electric light! It is a sword drawing technique that is popular in Katori Shinto-ryu!

After killing the other party, Takeda Yoshinobu had no intention of turning back, and his long-term samurai education told him that the matter of cutting off people's heads was naturally left to the side to do, and his task as a samurai was to constantly kill his opponents and add color to his martial name! Seeing the spears of his carefully taught disciples flying up and down, and the sword flashing from time to time, Iitomi Huchang showed a satisfied smile and continued to command the Red Reserve to rush forward and kill, killing any Uesugi samurai who intended to form a formation to meet him, while the elite soldiers of Koshin entered from the gap, like a wolf entering a flock, and suddenly set off a bloody storm.

The Imagawa family's Asahina Taino Army was not so conspicuous, not only did the timing of the dispatch of troops not grasp well, but also the deployment of the army was slow, and by the time the Imagawa army broke through the outer guardrail, the Uesugi army had already formed a simple phalanx and began to attack. Most of the Imagawa troops dispatched this time are newly recruited by Imagawa Yoshimoto, although they belong directly to Imagawa Yoshimoto himself, and they are quite well-equipped, but after all, the army is short, and although Taiyuan Xuezhai can be called a master of the art of war, but when it comes to actual training, it is not as good as Nagano Yemasa, who fought with a knife and a gun on the battlefield, and it is naturally difficult to train an elite soldier like Minowa. The army that met the Imagawa army was the Namba Taya and other wealthy clans in Kitamusashi, and the command was quite chaotic, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was far inferior to the elite like Kohata Akabi or Minowa, but they blocked the menacing Imagawa army, and the two sides actually fought well.

Ohno Kurabu and Ohno Shinzaemon brothers were also in the army at this time, this time Imagawa Yoshimoto dispatched six reserves, and it was one of them that Ohnokura Nobu commanded, and he was brave and resolute as soon as he took turns and planned to lead the warriors in the reserve to attack the opponent's army formation, but was shot back by a burst of arrows from the Uesugi army and was forced to retreat.

"Bastard! I've never fought such a humiliating battle! Nobu Ohno returned to his command position, threw his headbag to the ground in anger, and shouted angrily.

Ohno Shinzaemon said in a deep voice: "The main force of the other party is the Musashi Seven Party, although the command is not unified, but they are all battle-hardened forces, under the command of their respective governors, they are grouped, we are attacking in an all-round way, it is difficult to have an effect, it is better to concentrate all our strength and attack in one place!" ”

"This ......" Ohno Kuranobu hesitated a little and pointed to the military formation opposite: "But, Jiro, the opponent's battle formation is only five rooms apart, if we rush straight and fight fiercely, it is easy for the opponent to flank and cause a complete rout." ”

Ono Shinzaemon shook his head, "If there are enough troops to cooperate, it will be good, but Asahina-sama obviously does not intend to do this, I have heard for a long time that he is a famous general of my Imagawa family, but he shows such a level, which is disappointing, and it also makes me wonder, does he really want to win this battle?" Or is it just an opportunity to weaken us? "After all, it is a well-known fact that the head of the Imagawa family is weak and strong, and these newly recruited standing forces are precisely the key to the Imagawa family's regaining power, and if they are not fully trained and suffer heavy casualties, such a situation is undoubtedly only beneficial to important ministers like Asahina Taino. Therefore, Asahina Taino not only did not take the initiative to launch a surprise attack on the Uesugi army, but also behaved slowly when attacking the battle array, and the Imagawa army was not as experienced in combat as the other side, and it was very difficult to attack, but the follow-up troops were slowly swallowed, resulting in the front line being unable to support and having to retreat in defeat. But how could Shinzaemon Ohno be willing to let go of such a great opportunity! A battle of tens of thousands of people is very rare, and a slightly more outstanding performance can make a name for itself, let alone emerge in such a battle where the two sides have gathered nearly 80,000 troops to fight each other! "Brother, you lead the main force to attack again, I will lead a small force to attack one of the army formations from the flank, this time don't worry about casualties, as long as you can make meritorious contributions, the lord will definitely make up for us." Ohno Shinzaemon's eyes were blazing, and he said coldly.

Ohno Kuranobu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, Molong Gong once said: Dying on the battlefield is the true nature of a warrior, today you and my brother will give it a go, if you are lucky, you will die, and if you die, you will live!" With that, Ohno Kuranobu gave the order to attack again, and he led 700 people to attack the other side again from the front, in order to stimulate the blood and courage of the soldiers, Ohno Kurakura Nobu even rushed to the front line as the commander.

Ono Shinzaemon also led the remaining 200 men to set out, taking advantage of the opportunity of the main force led by Nobu Ohno to attract the attention of the opponent, detouring the opponent's flank and attacking the army formation of Yokose Narishi. Although Yokose was not as strong as Kohata Kenshige and Nagano Yoshimasa, he had participated in many battles and had rich experience, and the strength of the 400 troops under his command was still quite impressive. For the Imagawa family's army, at first, Yokose Chengfan was still a little worried, but after seeing the other party's command and individual soldier quality, Yokose Chengfan breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Ohno Kuranobu leading his troops to attack again, the corners of Yokose Chengfan's mouth couldn't help but show a cruel smile: "Take my iron cannon!" "Although there is not so much money to install iron cannons on a large scale, but buy a few handfuls for yourself and the side to play, the town, Yokose Chengfan can still do it, there are a lot of ashigaru before, and shooting has no effect, after all, there are too many people, and there are too few iron cannons, which is not a deterrent, but seeing that Ohno Kurashi actually went to the front line to rush and kill, Yokose Chengfan immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.

It's just that after the iron cannon was bought, everyone offered it like a baby, and when it was time to use it in wartime, the responsible side began to work in a hurry, which made Yokose very dissatisfied. Just as he was directing to meet the enemy and looking at the side with dissatisfaction, there was a sudden commotion from the flank, and immediately after, Yokose Narishige saw a Imagawa army attacking. Yokose couldn't help but be surprised, but he still cautiously chose to shrink his troops, but when he realized that the opponent's troops were not many, he smiled and pointed ahead: "One general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies!" Asahinai Tai Neng is nothing more than that, and it is not too late to pass the order, hold the position, and wait until the enemy in front is forced back, and then destroy them. ”

Ohno Kuranobu showed quite amazing resilience this time, leading the army to fight to the death and not retreating, but because the noodles were too open, the follow-up forces could not come up under the command of Asahina Taino, resulting in a sharp increase in casualties, and the Uesugi army, which realized the decline of the Imagawa army, invariably chose to fight against Ohno Kuranobu, and in an instant, more than 4,000 Uesugi troops pressed towards Ohno Kuranobu's 700 troops. Even if Nobu Ohnokura is loyal, the huge disadvantage in ability and strength still makes the entire reserve team on the verge of collapse.
