Chapter 547: One Step Late
Shiojiri Pass, at this time, there are corpses all over the field, and it has been taken down incrediblely.
"Miracle pill! Attaboy! Well done! Hosokawa Haruyuki kept praising a young man, it was Hosokawa Miracle Pill.
It turned out that the reason why the Hosokawa Army took Shiojiri Pass so quickly was not only because of the rapid march of the Western Route Army, but also because of the combination of the inside and outside of the Wind Demon Ninja led by Miracle Maru.
Since the Miracle Pill absorbed more than 200 Wind Demon Ninjas, he began to plan to make a big move, and it happened that the Hosokawa family launched the Eastern Expedition to the Takeda family, so they waited for an opportunity to lurk in the Tsunami Basin, preparing to open the door at a critical moment.
When the Hosokawa army hurried to the front of Shiojiri Pass, the attention of the Takeda defenders was all focused on the front, and Miracle Maru ordered the Wind Demon Ninja to take the opportunity to launch a horse raid. The defenders were caught off guard, and the defenders were also slashed by the Wind Demon Kotaro, and the gate was forcibly opened.
The rest of the matter is self-evident, plus there are hundreds of places in the periphery and other Iga ninja interceptions, and in the end, all of them were annihilated, and none of them escaped.
"Newspaper... Hosokawa-sama! Discover the Takeda Army! We're approaching us at great speed! A monomi ran over and got down on one knee to report to Haruyuki Hosokawa.
"Oh? It's so fast, didn't you say in Suwa Taisha? Hosokawa Haruchi was stunned, turned his head and looked at the miracle pill, this is the news he just brought.
"Uncle, I'm about to report to you, I just heard a report from my ninjas, and when I took Shiojiri Pass, I saw a hundred feet of the Takeda family from a distance. Presumably, the Takeda family has received the news of the fall of Shiojiri Pass and is in a hurry to come to the rescue, right? Miracle Pill scratched his head and was a little embarrassed, as soon as their uncle and nephew met, Hosokawa Haruyuki praised him violently, and forgot about this stubble.
"It doesn't matter, his Takeda army has come from afar, and it is a rapid march, and our army can rely on Shiojiri Pass to wait for work! The order is given, and the whole army will immediately enter a state of combat readiness, and I will hit him head-on! Hosokawa Haruyuki calmly gave the military order.
"Yes!" The heralds were then deployed to convey orders to the reserves.
"My lord, my subordinates have a plan, they must make the Takeda army come and go, and maybe they can win Takeda Katsuyori." The Unejima clan next to him rolled his eyes, and he thought about it, he is now Hosokawa Haruyuki's military advisor.
"Oh? Tell me quickly! When Hosokawa Haruyuki heard that this plan could win Takeda Katsuyori, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head and asked.
"Back to the lord, my subordinates heard that the main hall is also going well, and the siege of the city is overwhelming!" Unejima saluted respectfully and said slowly.
"According to the latest information, they have taken the Ogasawara family in the main hall, and it is estimated that they should be able to reach Iida Castle, the important town of the Takeda family, in the next two days. And the Eastern Route Army has a siege cylinder, plus the elite of our army, it must take a few days to break the city. If Takato Castle is breached in a few more days, it will be able to cut off the rear route of the Takeda army, and by then... Takeda Katsuyori is the turtle in the urn! "The analysis of the Uchijima clan is reasonable, and at this time they did not know the news that Iida Castle and Oshima Castle had been conquered.
"Hahaha! Good! Then we're here to hold the Takeda Army to the death! Hmph, even if they find out that something is wrong and want to evacuate, our army can cover up and kill later! Kill him ten miles away! Hosokawa Haruyuki laughed, the fish was hooked, and he didn't want to escape without shedding his skin!
At the same time, the pioneer Takeda Nobutoyo also came to the outside of Shiojiri Pass, and saw the castle head changing the king's flag, and reluctantly stopped on the side of the road.
"What's going on! Why don't you enter Shiojiri Pass! The Takeda Army's main formation also followed, and seeing the stagnation of the vanguard army, Takeda Katsuyori had an ominous premonition. Although he received a report from Komiyayama Yuharu, he was in the spirit of believing in doubt and seeing is believing, so he hurriedly marched here.
"Newspaper... Lord! Shiojiri Pass has been taken by the enemy! Lord Takeda Shintoyo, please take the next step! ”
"Please! Ask! Bastard thing! It's all because of him! It's all because of his delay! If he had directly led his troops to Shiojiri Pass, how could he be so passive today! Takeda Katsuyori was so angry that he gritted his teeth, Takeda Shintoyo was obviously cowardly, so he would find excuses again and again to ask for instructions, he was afraid of the battle back then!
"Damn fellow!" Katsuyori Takeda bit his lip and began to think about what to do next. He is not a fool, he knows that it is a dilemma.
"Pass the order! Let Takeda Nobutoyo set up a defensive position on the spot! The rest of the important ministers have come to me to discuss matters! Takeda scratched his ears and cheeks irritably, and the situation became more and more unfavorable for him.
Soon, the important ministers of the Takeda family came to the main camp one after another to discuss countermeasures.
"My lord! His subordinates suggested that while the Hosokawa army was not firmly established, they would attack immediately! Retake Shiojiri Pass! "Katsushi Kibe is inclined to attack, after all, the Hosokawa family killed his own brother.
"Your lord, no! The strength of the two armies is almost the same, and it is not possible to recapture it in a moment and a half. Besides, the Hosokawa East Route Army has already approached Iida Castle, and once it breaks through the defense line of the main family, then our army will be flanked from front to back! Therefore, the subordinates suggested that they should save their strength and withdraw their fortifications! "Tsuchiya Masahiro suggested withdrawing the troops, but now that the opportunity has been lost, he can only retreat.
"Nonsense! There are important ministers and elite guards there, how can it be lost! Tsuchiya-sama! You're disturbing the morale of the army! What a crime! Nagasaki reprimanded the other party unceremoniously.
"Nagasaki-sama, Tsuchiya-sama is just talking about things, Shiojiri Pass is not so easy to take." Akiyama Qinjiu hurriedly spoke, he was afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to condemn his brother for innocent crimes.
"Isn't it that easy? Then how did the Hosokawa Army take it so easily? How is it that it is not so easy to get to our army? Katsuzi also began to look for the other party's handle.
"That's it! Now is not the time to quarrel! Takeda Katsuyori angrily interrupted the tearing between the two of them, and felt a pain in his temples.
"Yes!" The crowd quickly bowed their heads and confessed their mistakes and said no more.
"Hmm... Let's attack Shiojiri Pass now, and if you can take the best in one go, if you can't take it... Let's see the opportunity to do it. "Takeda Katsuyori finally decided to fight, otherwise he would have come all the way, and if he fled back without fighting, then what majesty would there be after that? Besides, the land of Shinano must not be lost.
"Yes!" All the people took the command in unison.
Soon, the results of the military discussion reached the vanguard.
"Lin Jun prepares! Target! Shiojiri Pass! Offensive! Takeda Nobutoyo pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed at Shiojiri Pass not far away.
"Lin! Forest! Forest! Takeda shouted slogans and rushed towards Shiojiri Pass. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
