Chapter 112: Reversal of Attack and Defense
The Uesugi Army's individual combat effectiveness is actually quite impressive, after all, Kanto has been a country of samurai since ancient times, and the quality of the soldiers produced is not bad, but in the face of the Koshin Army carefully built by Takeda Harunobu, the confusion in command makes the entire Uesugi Army like a plate of scattered sand, and even a little slowing down the Takeda Army's advance cannot be done. And Uesugi Kenmasa, as the supreme commander, once again exposed his own personality flaw: he was too conservative. From the beginning of the night attack of the Hojo Army, Hojo Tsusunari led Huang Bei out of the city to attack in order to achieve the goal of containing the Uesugi army. Seeing the banner of Jihuang Hachiman, many Uesugi soldiers remembered the bloody night in the past, and their fighting spirit was sharply reduced, and although Kohata Kenshige led the Kohata Akatobi to meet Hojo Tsunari, but in terms of fighting alone, how was the Kohata Akaken being the opponent of the Yellow Guard personally commanded by Hojo Tsusunari? Although there is a robe to respond, Kohata Kenshige is still fighting very hard. When the Takeda army was dispatched, Hojo Tsusunari immediately exerted his strength again, and almost defeated the Kohata Red Reserve, but fortunately, Uesugi Kenmasa, who was watching the battle from a high place, immediately sent more elite Ueno troops to support, and there were 5,000 Uesugi troops rushing up, which was able to stop Huang Bei's attack momentum.
However, in this way, in addition to defending his own 3,000 standing troops, Uesugi Kenmasa no longer has enough troops to support the flanks to resist the Takeda army, and Uesugi Kenmasa's character determines that he will not agree to send these standing armies to solve the urgent need, so that the already elite Takeda army is even more unscrupulous in the Uesugi army. Even Takeda Nobuhiro almost thought that this was Uesugi Kenmasa's trick to lure the enemy and ordered to slow down the offensive, but after contacting Uesugi Kenmasa's personality, Takeda Nobuyoshi's eyes flashed with an indescribable light in his arms. "Compared to Shinano, it seems that Kanto is easier to attack."
Just when Takeda Nobu was full of thoughts, the order of the hundred-legged centipede on his back transmitted the latest information from the front line: "Murakami Yoshikiyo, lead the army back to the flank, and go straight to our army!" ”
Yoshikiyo Murakami! Takeda Shinfan, who has always been calm, got up and said quickly: "Immediately order, the whole army will shrink, and no more love will be fought!" "Takeda Shinshi, who has been dealing with Murakami Yoshikiyo for half his life, really understands the horror of the other party too well, and at the moment the Takeda army has not yet recovered its peak, and it is not advantageous in terms of troops, it is best to close the defense line to prevent Murakami Yoshikiyo from taking advantage of it. Although they are all guest troops, it is impossible for Murakami Yoshikiyo to sell his strength to the death, but as long as there is a chance to weaken the Takeda army, the other party will never let it go.
Just when Murakami Yoshikiyoshi transferred the main force back to the rescue flank, the Hojo clan finally recovered from the death of Tamu Mototada, "You mean, the main force of the Murakami army has withdrawn and confronted the Takeda army?" ”
"That's right." Wind Demon Kotaro said in a low voice. "At the moment, the Uesugi army has not been able to fill in the blanks in time, and Lord Tominaga is using this opportunity to gather troops, and I would like to ask the Lord to announce what we should do next."
Hojo clan masa held the sword, looked around, Hojo clan Shigeru, Shimizu Yasuei and other young generals he pulled up were looking at him, in a trance, Hojo clan Masa, Hojo clan Yasui also looked at him, an unprecedented sense of responsibility surged into his heart: I, can no longer be rash, I must shoulder the responsibility of the Hojo family! Father, that's how you set foot on the battlefield with such an awareness, right?
Slowly pulling out the sword, the Hojo clan said coldly: "At this moment, the Uesugi army is when the old power has been exhausted, and the new force has not been born, from the small lotus team to myself, without exception, the whole army, with the idea of death, launched an attack on the Uesugi army!" After glancing at the generals, the Hojo clan turned over and said: "This battle is a battle related to the life and death of my Hojo family, this victory, the family will enter the Kanto region, regain the glory of the past, this defeat, I will never leave this place!" Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to die with me!! ”
"Will follow the !! of the Lord" Hojo clan Shigeru and Shimizu Yasuei and others responded violently, the Hojo army's main army, has been gathering momentum for a long time, like a river that has burst the embankment swept down, and learned that the family governor Hojo clan Masato went to the front line to fight, and the Hojo army, which was on the verge of collapse, suddenly boosted morale, and took out the last strength, followed the Hojo clan Masa, and did that life-sacrificing blow!
The old Uesugi family, who had just come with his troops and was about to take over the frontal battlefield, was ready to continue the glorious career of Murakami Yoshikiyo, but when he beat the Hojo Army, he was stunned to find that the Hojo Army, which had no temper at all by Murakami Yoshikiyo, was actually killing him frantically at this moment as if he had made the wrong medicine. Seeing the appearance of the Hojo Army, many Uesugi samurai sneered at the Hojo Army's waste of physical strength before entering the battlefield, but in their hearts they beat the drums, they are still like this, let alone the ashigaru under their command. However, they are all people who have fought for half their lives, and it is not ambiguous to go up the mountain and go straight, and they will dispatch troops and generals, preparing to start a big battle with the Hojo Army.
Just when the Hojo Army and the Uesugi Army were in a pose, and they were about to start the second round of the fight, Asahina Taino, who had been grinding foreign workers, showed a meaningful smile: The most elite part of the Uesugi Army has been exhausted, and his chance has come! As for whether the battle was fought at the beginning of the battle or not, it just doesn't matter, and the dead are not under my hands, so it is enough to look at the result of the war.
"Let the Mita team step down, really, there will be no war at all." Asahinai Tai Neng ignored the fire-breathing eyes of the guards around him, and said with a smile: "Come, let me teach you what war is." As he spoke, Asahina Taino pulled out his sword and shouted, "Where is the warrior of the Imagawa family?!!! ”
"Kill !!"
"Kill !!"
"Kill !!" The 2,000 troops directly belonging to the Asahina family responded in unison, and it was as shocking as a mountain roaring tsunami! As the first wealthy family of the Imagawa family, the Asahina family naturally has enough capital to be proud of! Asahina Taineng looked at the athletes under his command, and the corners of his mouth hooked a hint of mockery: Although the two thousand people under his command are not all standing troops, they are all battle-hardened and well-equipped heroes, and if they really want to open the formation, the standing army of the Imagawa family who came this time together is not the opponent of the private soldiers of the Asahina family.
Under the complicated gaze of Ohno Shinzaemon and others, the Asahina family's army launched an attack on the Uesugi army, which was twice its size, and soon, a trace of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes: the Uesugi army's battle formation, which was bleeding from the head of the people and others, was easily defeated like paper paste under the attack of the Asahina family's army! Of course, there are factors that have caused the fierce battle of himself and others and the consumption of the opponent's physical strength, but the terrifying ability that Asahina Taineng showed at this moment has made these generals have a shadow in their hearts that is difficult to wave. This is also one of Asahina's plans, although these standing armies will inevitably grow up after the experience of war, but if the commanders are afraid of themselves, then how can Imagawa Yoshimoto rely on them to fight for power with his retainers?
