Chapter 386: Ten years of resentment sharpens a sword
Just when Kansuke Yamamoto used himself to attract the attention of the Uesugi army to buy time for Takeda Katsuyori to break through, Shida Haruyoshi and Shoda Dingxian quickly merged with the Takeda army in order to prevent Takeda Katsuyori from breaking through smoothly, and each led 500 troops to block in front of the remnants led by Takeda Katsuyori.
However, under the command of Takeda Katsuyori, the Takeda Army was like a dragon coming out of a hole, and immediately set off a monstrous wave. Even Shida Haruyoshi and Shoda Dingxian did not expect that Takeda Katsuyoribu, who had already been killed or wounded, would have such high morale to continue fighting, and they panicked for a while.
Subsequently, on the way to break through, Takeda Katsuyori successively defeated the two divisions of the Uesugi army Shida Haruyoshi and Shoda Dingxian, who intended to encircle him, and Shida Yoshitoki (Shida Yoshitoki's son, Shida Yoshitoki) in order to cover his father Shida Haruyoshi and Zhuangda Dingxian, retreated and rested, spontaneously danced the gun and broke it, and yelled at Takeda Katsuyori: "I am Echigo Natsuto Castle Lord Shida Genshiro Yoshishi, Takeda Shiro Katsuyori is gone!" After that, he led several samurai on horseback to face Takeda Katsuyori.
Seeing this, Takeda Katsuyori sneered and rushed straight towards Shitoki, knocking Shitoki off his horse with one shot in just one round. Takeda Katsuyori quickly seized the opportunity after seeking Shida, and led more than 100 mounted samurai to break into Okawa Tadahide's team from the side, and his subordinates Hatamoto and Ashigaru followed behind. Okawa Tadahide was quickly caught off guard, and was then besieged by five samurai under Takeda Katsuyori, who were overwhelmed and killed after being shot several times.
After fighting for the death of Shidaishi and Okawa Tadahide, Takeda Katsuyori did not fall in love with the war, and then successfully led the remnants to merge with the Hatsukano Tadaji tribe. However, the Yamamoto Kansuke Division, which broke into the siege of the Uesugi Army, was not so lucky, and more than 400 people from Yamamoto Kansuke and the following were all killed by the Uesugi Army, and the Yatsu Shosuke of the Uesugi Army's Kitanobu was also killed in the chaos of the army.
At the same time, Chaoding arranged all the remaining 8,000 troops of the left and right military guards on the bank of the Qianqu River.
"Tell the Lord! Shida Genshiro Hall was taken by Takeda Shiro Katsuyori! ”
"Tell the Lord! Okawa Suruga Shouden was taken by Takeda Shiro Katsuyori! ”
"Tell the Lord! Lord Yatsu Osabu Shosuke died in battle! ”
"Shiro Takeda Katsuyori is really a troublesome enemy." As the envoys under his command reported the news of the death of their famous generals in battle, the court began to be jealous of Takeda Katsuyori.
"Tell the Lord! More than 10,000 reinforcements from the Takeda Army intend to cross the Chikuma River! ”
At this moment, the partial division that Takeda Shingen had previously sent to the area around Mt. Tsumeme finally arrived near Hachimangahara and was about to engage the eight thousand troops of the left and right guards on the shore.
"Quickly inform Uesugi Goshi Daifuden that where is the military situation of Honjo Musashisuke, Shinbata Mamoru and other generals? Why is it still missing?! Asadaki began to become anxious, if this Takeda army was allowed to break through the area around the Chikuma River, then the already exhausted Uesugi army would inevitably be defeated after being attacked from both sides, and it was likely to lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
"Lord, a quarter of an hour ago, the Duke of Qian Xin had already led his banner to assault the main formation of the Takeda Army, and now the Duke of Qian Xin has put all his forces into the melee." Maori Katsuhiro said helplessly.
"Quickly explore the Hachimangahara area, and report immediately as soon as you find the 10,000 troops led by Honjo Musashisuke, Shinbata Mamoru and other generals!" Asadaki immediately rushed to the north bank of the Chikuma River, preparing to defend to the death, not letting go of the Takeda army and going to Hachimangaara.
At this point, half of the Crane Wing Formation laid by Takeda Shingen had been gone, and only Yamayama Masamitsu, Hatsukano Tadaji, Naito Masaki, Muroga Nobuyoshi, Asarishi Nobune, Imafu Yukiyo, Mochizuki Trust (Takeda Nobushi's eldest son), and Hara Masain were all defeated by the Uesugi army.
At the same time, Qianxin rode his horse all the way, did not get lost, and rushed directly to the banner of his grandson Siru.
At this moment, the formations of the two armies had all collapsed, and the state of the battlefield was chaotic. Even under the banner of Sun Tzu Shiru, who is the main camp, the fighters are scattered everywhere and fight with guns, and there is almost no one left around Takeda Shingen.
When Kenshin saw that he had an opportunity, he immediately jumped over the corpses and killed Takeda Shingen. However, Kenshin's judgment was wrong, Takeda Shingen was not really left behind, and there were still more than 100 Qimoto samurai on call in this formation.
The ashigaru and samurai of the Takeda Army's main camp didn't know who this samurai was riding a free-bore horse, wearing a cute yellow array of haori and a white cloth mask. Just as the people of the Takeda Army were still stunned, the figure of the samurai on horseback, who was rapidly getting bigger, had already rushed towards Takeda Shingen, who was sitting leisurely on a folding stool.
Humility looked down at the man. The helmet decorated with snow-white yak hair, known as the Suwa Ho Sex Hood, was tilted, and Takeda Shingen, who was sitting on a folding stool, suddenly looked up at Kenshin.
To Qianxin's surprise, he didn't feel vicious and cunning from this man, he had a calm and steady expression, staring at Qianxin with dark eyes, and didn't look at the little bean in his hand.
If I'm not mistaken, this is not a shadow warrior, and I can be sure that this man is Takeda Shingen.
In fact, it was only a matter of a moment for Kenshin to see the other party's expression. She pulled the reins, turned around, stopped the horse beside Takeda Shingen, leaned out like lightning, and delivered a blow to the opponent below, but Takeda Shingen suddenly blocked it with the military fan in his hand. The blade cut down nearly half of the sturdy armament.
Kenshin nimbly spun around the small spot, changing direction again, this time riding her horse from the front, swinging her sword and slashing at Takeda's right side. Takeda Shingen then raised his elbow and blocked it again with agility with the military equipment in his right hand. This time, the blade slashed at the core of the fan with a click, and there was a nasty feel.
Kenshin gritted his teeth in anger because he missed twice and didn't kill Takeda Shingen with a single blow. Takeda Shingen, who blocked Kenshin's attack with his military equipment, is still unknown in his heart, at least on the surface, he looks surprisingly calm.
Kenshin then drove his horse for the third time, and the grievances and grievances with Takeda Shingen so far flew through his mind like a phantom. Everything that has happened over the years seems to be relived here and now. When it comes to Kenshin's challenge, Shingen Takeda always seems to have dealt with the past with ease. For the first time, Qianxin, who had been silent since stepping here, let out an angry roar: "Thief, look at the knife! Kenshin's move was both to intimidate Takeda Shingen and to motivate himself. This fierce roar made half of Takeda Shingen's face twitch suddenly.
The tip of Qianxin's knife slashed sideways, neatly slashing the upper part of the military fan. Qianxin swung his knife several times in succession. Although it was blocked again, Takeda Shingen finally threw away the military equipment that almost only had the handle of the fan.
At this time, the tip of Kenshin's knife slashed across Takeda Shingen's shoulder, and the pain made Takeda Shingen frown slightly, and Kenshin saw this in his eyes. It seems that Takeda Shingen is not an immortal body!
Then, as Kenshin raised the knife above his head and was about to cut it down again, the released moon hair suddenly stood on end. It turned out that it was Hara Tokayoshi, a retainer of the Takeda family who had finally arrived, who wanted to stab Kenshin with a spear, but after stabbing twice in a row, he panicked and stabbed the three-headed part (hip) of the released moon-haired horse with the wrong hand. Although he didn't drop Qianxin, the release of Moon Feather was still frightened and began to run. Coincidentally, the horse fled in the direction of the Xichuan River to the north. Qianxin did not hold the horse at this moment, and let it gallop away.
The best chance to kill Shingen Takeda was lost. Takeda Shingen's doom probably can't end yet. I always feel that for some reason, God wants to let this man continue to live for the time being.
"If that's the case, there's nothing to be done. It seems that in the coming period, this guy will definitely continue to do evil in this world. Qianxin sat on the horse and shook his head helplessly, but suddenly remembered the appearance of the man he had just seen.
"That man's eyes don't seem to be cloudy······" Humility thinks.
To this day, Kenshin has always considered Takeda Shingen as a lifelong rival who should be hated. This will not change now, and it will not change in the future, but the appearance of the man in the humble faith is completely different from that of today-although I can't tell the details, but the feeling is too different, the image of the dirty and greasy man has completely disappeared after seeing Takeda Shingen himself. At the very least, the man seemed to be admired by his brothers and retainers. If it weren't for that, it would be impossible for the Takeda Army at Hachimangawa to continue to resist stubbornly even though half of its forces had already been defeated.
"I don't know what happened to Chaoding, and I don't know if the 8,000 troops he left on the north bank of the Chikuma River can resist the attack of the Takeda army reinforcements." Qianxin muttered quietly, but didn't slow down. Although he had always felt the sound of Takeda's new force finally arriving from the rear, he did not look back at the end of the matter, but just urged the horse to continue to move forward, intending to join his own bannermen.
At this moment, several gray-faced Takeda Army samurai suddenly jumped out in front of him, and one of them was similar to the Takeda Shingen he had just seen. Kenshin then lowered his body, almost with his face on the horse's head, still galloping. At this time, one of the Takeda military samurai found out and quickly rushed towards Kenshin with a spear in his hand, but Kenshin did not intend to entangle with them, and after cutting off the handle of the spear at the same time, she rode to the samurai who was similar to Takeda Shingen, raised her sword and slashed it to the ground. Then, the samurai of the Takeda Army let out a cry of surprise and fled. Kenshin didn't look back, and continued to run, and she didn't know that the person she had just killed was Takeda Shingen's brother Takeda Shinryo.
