[Lord, you don't matter, right? 】

After Tachibana Geki left, the flags were a little nervous when they saw that Date Masamune had never spoken, and the leader of the flagships asked a little meaningfully.

[Hmph, what can I do, what did I say just now...... Don't worry, I've heard anything worse than this, and I won't get angry with him. 】

[Oh, yes......]

Commander Banner was relieved, but when he noticed Date Masamune's hand, he was shocked.

I don't know when, Date Masamune actually tore off the horsewhip! ……

The battle lasted until dinnertime, and not only did it show no sign of stopping temporarily, but it became more and more noisy. Both sides held their breath and wanted to take each other down.

Not only on the frontal battlefield, but from the afternoon onwards, the flanks of the coalition forces, Kanji Nagasaka and Matsuura Main Water, which were stationed in Minoite on the northern side of the Takekai, also began to be attacked by Date Masamune.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, that is, about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Munetoki Harada and Daisuke Takeda of the Date Army began to fire their guns at the coalition forces of the Three Hands.

A few sentries heard the enemy's gunfire from afar and realized that it was not good! The Three Hands are about to be attacked! They ran back to the main camp and passed the news to Matsuura Shosui and Nagasaka Kanji, who were discussing the military situation.

On the orders of Sugi Jinghu, the main water of Matsuura, who was stationed here, ordered martial law in all positions, and sent a small team of troops to a hill about two miles forward to investigate the enemy's situation, and if conditions permitted, let them fortify. It is used to delay the pace of the enemy's attack and buy more time for the rest of the troops to form a defensive line in the formation.

Songpu main water forcibly requisitioned villagers from nearby villages. In a short period of time, they built a very rudimentary fortification for the coalition forces - a fence (cramming. I wondered, why did you go earlier?! He snatched more than a dozen jars of fish oil and dry firewood from the villagers and piled them all up next to the fortifications. This rudimentary fortification, which could not be more rudimentary, connected to the east and west ends of the three hands of the coalition forces, and if the enemy charged from here, it would take less than twenty minutes to penetrate the entire formation, so it must be blocked.

Although the villagers were very dissatisfied with the [evil deeds] of the officials, they didn't dare to say anything. After handing over his things and helping to make a fence, he quickly packed up what little possessions he had at home and fled to the nearby mountains to avoid chaos.

[We have less than 2,000 men in our hands, so we must ask the general for help, right...... Your people are in charge of reconnaissance, have you seen the enemy's military situation? Who is the enemy's leading general? Or how many of them are? 】

Nagasaka Kanji's tone of inquiry was calm, but Matsuura felt embarrassed by the questions he asked. He couldn't answer any of them!

The main water of Matsuura did not know how many enemies there were outside the formation, and the dozen or so rice buckets of the patrol team fled back in fright when they heard the enemy's gunfire, and did not bring back any useful information, and the only news they found was judged by the sound of gunfire. The enemy was less than five miles away from him, and he didn't even know the name of the enemy's generals or the family crest painted on the banner. What a TMD waste!

Although Matsuura Zhusui's surname is [Matsuura], he has nothing to do with the Matsuura clan, a famous wealthy family in Kyushu. It's just that it happens to have the same surname, after all, [Matsuura] is not a particularly rare surname. To put it mildly, it's all rotten.

Matsuura Shinnosuke, the father of Matsuura Main Water, served Nagao Haruhei since he was a child, and after Uesugi Kenshin came to power, he changed to serve in the latter, and made great achievements in the Battle of Kuroda Castle, the Battle of Tochio Castle, the Battle of Okushinano, the Echichu Raid, and the Siege of Odawara, but if it wasn't for the fact that he died later in the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, his name would have been in the [Uesugi Twenty-five Generals].

Matsuura Zhushui didn't have such good skills as his father, and he was much younger than his father when he went into battle. However, if Matsuura's talents are not inferior to Matsuura Shinnosuke, then the entire history of Matsuura will be rewritten. But in fact, as a son, Matsuura Lordsui is a cautious person, and his courage is not as good as that of his father.

In fact, this is also the epitome of the entire Japanese samurai family, the people of the previous generation started from the reckless, fought the world in hunger and cold, in order to struggle, in order to survive, the ability to exert is far more than the [second generation of officials] who grew up in the greenhouse, and the younger generations not only have to take care of their own lives, but also have to think about the surrounding environment, it is impossible to have the [death consciousness] of the father.

Matsuura did not dare to take risks, so he decided to use positional warfare to drain it. After blocking the positions in the north and south, if the enemy wants to break through any position in the north and south, he can only make a direct attack from the front.

At this time, in the Date army, Harada Sotoki made a decision after roughly observing the enemy's garrison.

The operational route laid out was to attack from the east to the west. The Three Hands Formation is a very defensive place, but because it is flat on all sides, only the east side is slightly higher.

Theoretically, it is easier to break through from either direction than to the east, and even a fence is a layer of defense.

However, he realized that the geographical factor was a serious problem, not only in the terrain of the formation, but more importantly, his subordinates were fighting here for the first time, and they were not familiar with the road in this area at all. The eastern formation connects the main road in the formation from the gate of the formation, and with the eastern formation as a reference, the route of the soldiers' attack is bound to be clearer.

Harada Muneshi is really worthy of being a famous family, regarded as a natural general, no wonder he will be favored by Date Masamune at a young age, and was entrusted with the power of soldiers and horses, it seems that his quality of war is still very commendable, and it is no wonder that Date Masamune in history regretted more than once when recalling the deeds of the early years:

[If Zuo Masuke hadn't died young, then I'm afraid there wouldn't be any [Date Sanjie] in the Date family, but there would be [Date Four Heavenly Kings]. 】

The way of the art of war, fast first, Harada Zongshi knew that he could not delay too long, he thought about it for a while, and immediately ordered to go out of the battle!

As soon as the Takeda Reserve team drove over from Takekai, the ninja in charge of reconnaissance immediately spotted the enemy position not far ahead. A reserve unit of the Matsuura Armament Corps cut directly into the center of the eastern formation and set up a "convex" defensive circle. (The author used to look at the ancient military maps of Japan, and why did he draw the military formation like this tomorrow, but recently he learned that this is the most suitable small formation for defense, and it can be attacked and defended.) It seems that the ancients were indeed smarter than us moderns)

It seems that the enemy was also prepared, but unfortunately the time was too hasty, this position was only improvized, and there was no defense beyond the first layer of fence, not even the horses used for defense, or the spikes on the fence, which was equivalent to a pile of wood, and it seemed that they had not even had time to clean up the sawdust -- Daisuke Takeda seemed to have taken the dry firewood thrown on the ground as sawdust.

As the vanguard, the Takeda Army did not rush to attack, and immediately contacted the Iron Artillery Corps to provide iron artillery support.

About the time of a meal, that is, ten minutes later, Daisuke Takeda ordered his iron gunners to fire two volleys at the enemy's position, and hundreds of bullets crumbled the coalition defense line [bombing], and thanks to the fact that Matsuura Main Water has not yet poured fish oil on the dry firewood, otherwise these bullets will come up, then there will be a good show to watch -- the enemy has not yet hit, and the Matsuura army itself will hold a battlefield version of [BBQparty] first, then the fun will be great, and it will definitely be a joke that can be recorded in history.

Without further ado, several soldiers were hit by enemy guns and immediately fell to the ground, and the Matsuura reserve was a little panicked for a while, and before they could fill the gap in the [indiscriminate bombardment], the Takeda army forward seized the opportunity to launch an attack. The first round of charging allowed the forward company to break through the position smoothly, and the two sides barely fired again, and soon entered the stage of cold weapon white-edged combat. It's a pity that the soldiers of the Matsuura Reserve were caught off guard, and their combat effectiveness was still relatively low, so they directly let the soldiers of the Takeda Army overthrow dozens of people.

Another team of the Takeda Reserve flanked and took the vanguard by surprise as it attracted firepower. The Matsuura reserve was attacked from the beginning to the end, and they were counting on the troops of the main water of Matsuura in the middle to come to support, but who knew that at this time, the troops of the main water of Matsuura in the middle began to break and flee. The defense line collapsed instantly, and the soldiers of the Matsuura Army dropped their weapons one by one and raised their hands to surrender, and the whole battle lasted only an hour, and the first battle was won with very few losses.

Didn't even keep it for an hour.,Matsuura Zhushui, who was born in the gate.,Today it's a loss of face for his family.,Although he fought very hard in the subsequent battle.,But still can't escape the punishment of Uesugi Jinghu after the war.,Deprived of official positions.,Confiscate the territory.,Find a way to find a way to survive yourself!

When Matsuura Zhusui fled all the way to Nagasaka Kanji, even Nagasaka Kanji, who had a very good temper, would be angry.

[How did you do that?!] More than 1,000 people were defeated like this, and they handed over the vanguard in vain?! You're putting a lot of pressure on me! ……】

Matsuura knew that he was wrong, so he didn't argue, and let Nagasaka Kanji reprimand, and then when the latter finally finished speaking, he consciously helped to take on the work of defense.

Let's talk about Harada Sotoki's side.

After Daisuke Takeda's victory, he met the coming Harada Munetoki.

[Lord Zuomasuke, the enemy has fled! 】

【Good!】 Good! Good! Takeda-sama, you're doing a great job! The enemy looks like there are at least a thousand of them, but you have broken them so easily, and the whole process has only been half an hour, okay! It's really amazing, I will definitely ask the lord for credit for you! 】

Receiving the compliment from Sotoki Harada, Daisuke Takeda blushed with joy, a man in his forties, and his expression turned out to be like a child. (To be continued......)
