Chapter 80: Takeda Strikes

Burning Sky looked at Honda Tadakatsu and Kamihara Yasumasa, who respectfully apologized to Sakuma Nobumori and himself in front of him, and said to Sakuma Nobumori: "Lord Sakuma, I don't think my family cares about this matter, and we and the coalition forces still need to deal with the enemy together, so this matter will be stopped, okay?" ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, Sakuma Nobumori's face was a little hesitant, and he said to the burning sky, Honda Tadakatsu, and Kamihara Yasumasa: "I won't do much about this matter, but I will still report it one by one on the lord's side, and then it will be up to the lord to deal with it, and it will not be too early, so I will go back to Heming Shamen!" ”

After speaking, Sakuma Nobumori bowed to Honda Tadakatsu and Kamihara Yasumasa, and walked towards Mimaru, where Oda's army was stationed. After turning around and bowing to the two of them, Burning Sky quickly followed Sakuma Nobumori's pace.

Burning Sky looked at Sakuma Nobumori, who was striding with a sword in front of him, and stepped forward to him and said, "Sakuma-sama, it's just below..."

"Needless to say, I'll wait for the moment to repel the Takeda army first, and let go of other things later; By the way, have your iron artillery team been replenished with projectiles and gunpowder? Tomorrow may be another fierce battle, one more projectile, one more enemy may be killed. Sakuma Nobumori interrupted Burning Sky with his words, and Burning Sky had no choice but to reply to Sakuma Nobumori: "I have ordered my subordinates to urge the Ashigaru to replenish ammunition and check the fire rope at the same time, so don't worry!" ”

After the two returned to Sanmaru together, Kinkoru returned to the house alone and gathered his volunteer samurai. After learning that Tokugawa Ieyasu was determined to fight, Ichisuke Right asked at the burning sky, "Senior brother, this battle is like nine deaths, how can we deal with it?" Burning Sky said coldly after hearing this: "Although this battle is difficult, there is still a glimmer of life, and if it fails, it will only be the case of Tokugawa Wuyun." ”

When the samurai in the castle learned that Tokugawa Ieyasu was determined to fight, Tokugawa Ieyasu informed everyone that tomorrow the Takeda Army would end its repairs and come to Hamamatsu Castle. For a time, the people of Hamamatsu Castle, young and old, threw themselves into the reinforcement of the castle walls and the construction of various defense facilities overnight. Burning Sky also once again instructed his team leaders to pay attention to the supervision of Ashigaru to prevent Ashigaru from escaping before the war.

As soon as dawn began, according to Honda Tadakatsu, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had not slept all night, walked out of the castle hall in armor, gathered the troops in the city, and prepared to defend Hamamatsu Castle. As the iron cannon general, after a brief exchange of words with Honda Tadakatsu, he was ordered to garrison the Sanmaru Castle Wall.

Moreover, there are constantly flags of the Tokugawa family coming and going under the castle, and according to the understanding of the burning sky, it should have been sent by Tokugawa Ieyasu to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. The burning sky did not stop the work at hand, and constantly boosted the morale of his subordinates. The volunteer samurai under the Burning Sky are also regarded as the eyes and ears of the Burning Void, and the three of them work in a group to stabilize the emotions of the Ashigaru in the Iron Artillery Team, and discover the abnormal situation of the Ashigaru in time.

Finally, in the burning sky of Sanmaru's defense, I saw the Sun Tzu Mantra Banner fluttering in the cold wind, as well as several Nan Mu Suwa Nangong Dharma Upper and Lower Great Ming God Golden Lacquer Flags. In an instant, the sound of samurai at all levels commanding their subordinates to prepare for battle came from Hamamatsu Castle, and Burning Sky looked at Ashigaru, whose body was trembling a little beside him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, I'll listen to my orders later, I'll let the shooting be shooting!" ”

Gradually, under the banner of Sun Tzu Manghan, countless Takeda military forces appeared. Burning Sky clearly felt that the atmosphere in the entire Hamamatsu Castle had changed, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the next move of the Takeda Army. However, the Takeda army did not continue to march towards Hamamatsu Castle, but turned north to spare Hamamatsu Castle.

At this moment, it really made everyone in Hamamatsu Castle unexpected, and everyone was puzzled by Takeda's sudden abandonment of the siege. Burning Sky didn't know what Takeda Shingen was thinking, leaving the military strength of 10,000 people behind him and going directly west along the Tokai National Road, how could he risk something like this, Takeda Shingen, who was known as the first warlord of Japan's Warring States, did it, unless he wanted to lure Tokugawa Ieyasu out of the city.

Naturally, Tokugawa Ieyasu would not let go of this opportunity to raid Takeda Shingen from behind, and after seeing the Takeda family heading northwest, Tokugawa Ieyasu gave the order for the entire army to go out. When Kanku and the others heard Tokugawa Ieyasu's order, they also immediately went out of the city to assemble. Sakuma Nobumori gathered the Oda reinforcements that had been scattered to defend the castle, and marched towards the Takeda army heading north under the command of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Burning Sky looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu's side and constantly admonished him to hold the castle Sakai Tadaji, and he didn't particularly understand Tokugawa Ieyasu's rash attack, but Burning Sky now has no illusions in his mind about defeating the Takeda Army, as long as he can let his men not pay too many casualties, anyway, the historical battle of Mikata Hara Tokugawa Ieyasu did not win.

With this belief that if you can't beat it, you can run with Sakuma Nobumori, and the burning sky is still full of ease. But looking at the ashigaru people beside him, it was not easy to burn the sky again. On the one hand, he encourages Ashigaru to fight bravely, and on the other hand, he thinks about how to escape, and man is really a complex animal. After sighing, the immediate burning sky suddenly saw the Takeda Army following everyone stopping.

Later, the sound of taiko drums and horns was heard in the Takeda army, and Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately lined up the formation of geese in the same place. The supporting Oda army was divided into three formations by Tokugawa Ieyasu, Sakuma Nobumori led 1,000 men and Sakai Tadaji who received another 1,000 men on both sides of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Hayashi Xiuzhen and Hirakute Fanhide each led more than 800 people to line up on the two flanks of the wild goose formation. The fierce generals Honda Tadashi and Kamihara Yasumasa each led a group to protect in front of the Tokugawa Ieyasu main camp.

Tokugawa Ieyasu lined up eleven points and waited for the Takeda army on the opposite side. The Burning Sky is to follow the Tieshou Fanxiu to be listed on the left flank of the Yanxing Formation, because the Burning Sky is an iron cannon general, arranged in the front of the division, in order to give full play to the greatest advantage, but it also greatly increases the danger of the Burning Sky Iron Artillery Team.

The Takeda family formed a fish scale formation under the command of Takeda Shingen, and in the face of the huge strength advantage of the Takeda family, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not rush to launch a surprise attack, but waited for the Takeda family to complete the formation before starting to make a move, but the Takeda family began to attack the Tokugawa family's battle formation after the formation was completed.

The first battle of the Takeda family was still the Yamaprefecture Akabi, which terrified the enemy, and behind the Yama Prefecture Akabi, there were a large number of sub-formations that followed closely behind the center of the Tokugawa family's military formation. Honda Tadakatsu ordered the Iron Cannon Ashigaru to fire a round of iron cannons at the rushing Yamaprefecture Akabi, and then ordered an attack on the Yamaprefecture Akabi. Soon after the left flank of Honda Tadakatsu and Yama Prefecture Akabi took over, the enemy attacked.
