Chapter 258: Night Attack and Decapitation Operation
At Takeda Shingen's main formation, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and it was impossible to see it in the dark.
"What's that!" Nobuyoru Takeda pointed to the source of the voice and asked the observer high up the hill.
"There's a horse coming this way!" The observer looked into the distance with all his might, and some vague shadows could be faintly seen.
In this era, night blindness is extremely serious, and most people are not farsighted at all, and can only rely on a very small number of people who are born or trained to have excellent eyesight to serve as observation and vigilance.
"Why would the reservists move?" Takeda Nobuyoru asked the generals on the left and right strangely, generals, look at me, I look at you, and shook their heads.
"What a flag!" Sanada Yutaka stood up and shouted.
"No flags!" The observer looked and shouted back.
Suddenly, the sound of cannon gunfire was heard in the distance.
"It's our army! Or the gunfire of the enemy! Takeda Nobuyoru asked in a loud voice again, because of this night siege, the Takeda family's iron artillery team was also involved.
"I don't know!" The observers are now unaware.
"See! See! It's the enemy's iron artillery team! One of the observers had sharp eyes, and finally saw a group of moving figures, rapidly approaching them.
Bang bang bang! With a few gunshots, the observers on the top of the hill fell to the ground.
"Bring the horses! My horse! Sanada Yutaka shouted, and the generals also mounted their horses and galloped towards their troops.
"Guns and feet around the human wall!" Takeda Nobuyoru commanded a group of guards and protected Takeda Shingen, who was sitting on a horse. He also turned over his horse and shouted at the "mountain army": "Become a combat formation!" ”
Whoa! With the spears, bows and arrows of the mountain army outside, and the mobile forces inside, Takeda Shingen was located in the center of the formation, and the square circle formation in the "Takeda Eight Formations" was put out.
Nobuyoru Takeda looked left and right, and after confirming that there was nothing to disclose, he nodded, and also rode out of battle and ran towards his troops.
The Takeda Eight Formations originated from the Chinese Empire. It was Takeda Shingen who developed into the Eight Formations of Fish Scales, Sharp Arrows, Crane Wings, Glaives, Fang Yuan, Wild Goose Walking, Long Snake, and Yoke through the "Eight Formations of Wuhou" and Sun Tzu's "Nine Lands", combined with the actual situation of the local area.
Stomp, stomp! Sanada Yutaka returned to the front of the "Lin Army" and shouted: "Lin Army! Preparation! Advance! ”
"Lin! Forest! Forest! "Whoa! The banner of the Lin army was held high, and the soldiers rushed out with Sanada Yutaka.
"Wind Army! Preparation! Side forward! A letter dragon also came to the front of the Wind Army.
"Wind! Wind! Wind! The wind army went out according to the order, and the banner of the word "wind" was waved in the wind.
"Fire Army! Preparation! Left rear! "Shan County Changjing also led the army.
"Fire! Fire! Fire! "The most elite of the Takeda family, Akabi, attacked, and the horse team moved on a large scale, and the ground trembled slightly.
At Takeda Shingen's main position, the sound of iron cannons was heard from time to time, and the guarding "mountain army" continued to be shot and killed, and Takeda Shingen was like a mountain, sitting on the maza, unmoved.
In inverse proportion to him, Katsuyori Takeda on the hill in front of him walked back and forth, looking left and right.
"Fire Army! Expand to the right! "The surrounding area is still searching, and it seems that the enemy is very familiar with the terrain and has a high degree of stealth.
"Flanks! Enemy spotted on the right! "The hundred-footed crowd is also constantly scouting back and forth, and once they discover the enemy's situation, they immediately mobilize reserves and rush over, hoping to destroy the enemy hiding in the darkness as soon as possible.
"Lin Jun 3, prepare! Rear! "Sanada Masaaki came to the front of the army and mobilized a team of Lin Jun, he is the second son of Sanada Yutaka and a member of the hundred-legged group.
"Lin Jun's first team! Right! Another hundred-legged member also seemed to have discovered the enemy's situation and mobilized a group of forest troops.
"Wind Army, Second Team, Left!" 3rd place...
"Fire Army, three teams, right!" 4th place...
It seems that there are not a few enemies around, and the Takeda army frequently attacks and searches everywhere.
Bang shot! Unexpectedly, he knocked down Takeda Shingen's horse seal.
"Extinguish the fire!" The left and right sides approached, and quickly stepped forward to kick over the bonfires on both sides, and re-erected the horse print.
"Wind Army! Expand to the left! "The situation around is too complicated, and the enemies in the dark are unusually cunning.
"The enemy is coming!" Suddenly, the "mountain army" gave a warning to the main formation, only to see a group of cavalry running from behind without any banner.
"Up!" A group of foot cavalry of the mountain army chased after them, and the rest of the men narrowed the guard circle even more.
Stomp, stomp! On the left side of the formation, another group of cavalry rushed over, and after killing a few ashigaru, they turned around and ran.
"Chase!" Another group of mountain troops chased out, and the guards of this formation were again weak.
Stomp, stomp! This time, it turned out to be under the nose of Takeda Shingen, running past a group of arrogant cavalry.
The mountain army struck again and chased after them.
"Stop chasing! Come back! Come back! "Sone Masayo loudly recalled the mountain army, he is an Okujin Xi by Takeda Shingen's side, and he is the side of Shingen's key training. Although he was not known for his martial prowess, he was a strict man, so Shingen often used Sone Masayo as a military supervisor to supervise the situation of soldiers and battlefield observation in the frontline battle array.
"There's an enemy on the hill on the left!" The formation warned again, and through the moonlight, a group of cavalry was clearly seen.
"There are enemy troops on the hill on the left, attack!" The fire army and the forest army cruising around immediately pounced like sharks smelling blood, and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, bursts of dense gunfire rang out, and the "mountain army" of this formation fell one by one.
"Protect the lord!" The guards hurriedly used their bodies to tightly protect Takeda Shingen, who was still sitting there, standing still. There has never been anyone in this world who has forced Shingen Takeda to stand up.
In the fourth battle of Kawanakajima that year, the tragic scene is still vivid. At the end of the battle, the god of war, Qianxin, was dressed in crimson armor, cute yellow mother clothes, wearing a monk's white turban, a black rosary around his neck, and a famous horse under his crotch "released moon hair", holding a three-foot sword, and rushed to Takeda Shingen alone, slashing three times in a row!
Takeda Shingen's face did not change, he raised the military equipment in his hand to block, after two swords, the military fan was broken, and the third knife was irresistible, slashing into his shoulder, and blood splattered out. But he was still as steady as Mount Tai, and he was finally forced to retreat by the guards, leaving behind a story for the ages.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
A large number of gunshots came again from the other side, and the guards in front of Takeda Shingen fell one after another, and Shingen only frowned slightly.
The troops around the formation rushed to the rescue and rushed to the place where the guns were fired.
"The enemy retreats!" After a while, news came from the front, and the enemy left without the slightest hesitation.
"Back to the first formation!" Sone Masayo observed for a while, made sure that there was no danger, and turned back into the square circle array again.
Sone Masashi and the others moved the guards who died to the side, pulled out their matching knives, and held them in their hands, immovable!
Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and the nervous guards once again blocked in front of Takeda Shingen.
"What a sound!" Masayo Sone asked the observer in a loud voice.
"The enemy was found on the right, and the word "Ben" was written on the flag! ”
"It's the general of the Hosokawa family, Honda Heihachiro is lodatory! Swear to protect the lord to the death! As soon as Sone Masayo heard this, the thunderous "world's first fierce general" Honda Tadakatsu came, and immediately commanded the mountain army to protect the lord Takeda Shingen.
Stomp, stomp! On one side of the hillside, a group of cavalrymen with black helmets and black armor and hideous masks were revealed. As the first member of the general, he wore antlers and stood in his pocket, wearing a black Wei Gu Pill with feet, and the famous horse "Three Kingdoms Black" under his crotch, mentioning "Dragonfly Cut", it was Honda Tadashikatsu! A pair of sharp eyes, through the crowd, fell on Takeda Shingen's face.
The picture froze, and the two sides silently looked at each other a few times, only to see Honda Tadakatsu with the reins of his horse, leading the Netherworld Iron Rider to submerge into the darkness again.
"The whole army retreated, Takeda Shingen was safe and sound, and went back to report to the lord."
But what he didn't see was that Takeda Shingen's cuffs oozed a few drops of bright red blood..., you are lonely, and the young lady warms you with a movie
