After having this idea again, the Narita clan commander immediately gathered his military momentum and prepared to launch a second attack on the enemy's main formation, although the Narita army had been mentally prepared, but it still failed to break through the defense line of the Takayama army's main formation, and also killed and wounded more than 400 troops, after the failure of the two impacts, the number of the Narita army has dropped to more than 6,000 people, and the Sakuma army just fought for so long, and the Narita army lost less than 300 people, but these two short impacts made his losses more than twice as much as just now, And the morale of his troops had dropped a lot, and he knew that he would never be able to continue to rush like this.

The Narita clan chief was able to become a retainer of the Hojo family, and the Hojo clan was able to give him such an important task to complete this time, which is enough to prove the ability of the Narita clan, he is by no means the kind of samurai who only knows how to fight stupidly, but he is very brainy, these two impacts, the first time was completely unexpected, so there is nothing to say, and the second impact, the Narita army still ended in failure, but when the charge was launched, with the help of the cover of the military situation, he still made an observation of the enemy formation on the opposite side, when he found, After the iron cannon and the archery light team of the Takayama army on the opposite side listed a total of eight five hundred formations, he immediately moved his mind, he was still very clear about the strength of the Takayama family, so of course, he also knew that the archery and ashiki of the other party together had a total of six thousand, and if four thousand were arranged due south, that is to say, the weakness of the Takayama army's main formation was on the east and west sides, although he knew that the defense on the north side of the Takayama family's main formation might be even weaker, but the problem was that it was impossible for him to bypass it in a short time, And even if he leads the army to bypass, the opponent will definitely immediately mobilize iron cannons and bows to deploy defenses, and he is circling a large circle, and the opponent is circling a small circle, once he does this, not only does it make no sense, but it will make the opponent more prepared.

Therefore, after he gathered the general momentum, he immediately made a decision, leaving a part of the army to continue to feint on the south side, and personally led the army to the east of the enemy's main formation, and launched a surprise attack on it, so that he could contain the army on the south side of the opponent, once the main force of the Gaoshan army was contained, then only a small number of enemy troops on the east side could not resist the impact of the army under his command, after having this idea, he did not hesitate, and immediately led the 4,000 army in person, all the way to the east and then turned to the north side of the Gaoshan family's main formation.

And when the enemy's offensive was suspended, the clan and others had already come to the front of the south side, and saw that the iron cannon and the bow team easily repelled the enemy twice, everyone was very satisfied, although the offensive ability of the iron cannon and the bow foot light was not strong, but when it came to defense, once these two armies cooperated, not to mention the ragtag army of the Narita clan, even the Hojo family Huang Bei, who was more elite by the Takayama army, also had to return with the same feathers, of course, the iron cannon and the bow foot light team were not without weaknesses, what they were most afraid of was the enemy cavalry, Especially in the absence of fortifications, once the other side sends cavalry to attack, then it will inevitably be the Takayama family's side that loses, but does the Hojo family have cavalry? The answer is yes, but the problem is that there are only 3,000 people, and they are still fighting against the Ueno Legion of their own family at the moment, so there is no possibility of withdrawing at all, and even if they come, it doesn't matter, the cavalry team of 3,000 people is not in the eyes of the iron cannon and bow team.

"My lord, my subordinates think that the Narita clan chief is not a stupid person, and he will inevitably choose to attack from other directions when he sees that the two attacks will not cause any damage to our side, so his subordinates think that they should immediately divide a part of their forces and go to the east and west sides of the main formation." When the enemy was defeated again, Sanada Masayuki could not see the enemy's situation hundreds of meters away through the thick smoke of gunpowder, but he still said these words because of his cautious personality.

"Lord, the iron cannon and the bow team can only defend, it is too passive, it is impossible to destroy this army, although the lord has issued an order to the front, but the longer it drags on, the easier it is to cause low morale, so please also ask the lord to allow his subordinates to lead the army out of battle, and the subordinates will guarantee that the Narita army will be defeated within the time of a meal, and the lord is also asked to decide."

"Maeda-sama is right, my lord, this is just the speculation of the military advisor, in case the enemy is not smart, he still chooses to attack head-on, once the general is transferred, then maybe the main formation will be broken by the enemy, so the subordinates think that it is safest for the samurai team to go out of the battle." At this time, the wind demon Kojiro didn't care about what military division was not a military division, seeing that others had a battle to fight, he was very anxious like Maeda Keiji, after all, after the victory of this battle, everyone knew that the lord should be a big vassal, if he couldn't do something in this critical battle, then the reward he received after the war would definitely not be as good as others, so he had a reason to participate in the war.

"My lord, what the two adults said is not unreasonable, the longer it drags on, it will indeed have a great impact on the front army, especially since the other side still has a reserve of 10,000 people that has not been used, once the other side launches an attack, then it will be difficult for the front army to resist the opponent's attack." Hosokawa Fujitaka immediately spoke.

When they finished speaking, they only heard the clan sect say: "There is no need to say any more, transfer 1,000 iron cannons and 1,000 archers from the south to the east and west sides of the formation to set up defenses." ”

"Lord ......" Maeda Keiji saw this time, and he didn't send himself to fight, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, but after all, this was the lord's order, and he didn't have the courage to refute it, so he was in a hurry, but he couldn't say anything.

Of course, the clan will not let the most elite Qiben samurai team of the clan rot here, because the clan has already arranged a better place for them, after seeing that Maeda Keiji is so eager, the clan clan in order not to discourage his enthusiasm at this time, so he still said: "Don't worry, the battle is not over yet, there is a chance for you to go out of battle, okay, you go down immediately and prepare, and wait for the order to attack at any time." ”

Hearing this, Maeda Keiji was not very satisfied, although the lord promised that he still had a chance to play, but the question was, when did he wait, then it is estimated that when it was his turn to go out, the enemy would have already been defeated, could it be that the lord wanted to send himself to clean up the battlefield?

Thinking of this, Maeda Keiji gave full play to his shameless style regardless of the occasion, only to see that he changed his eagerness just now, licked his face and said with a smile: "That...... Please forgive your subordinates for their courage, I don't know what tasks the lord will arrange for his subordinates? ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, the clan couldn't help frowning.

"The lord is angry, and his subordinates understand it clearly now, not to be able to complete the task better."

"Well, since the other party attacked us, then of course we have to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, understand?" After the clan finished speaking, he ignored him and looked in the direction of the Narita army in the distance.

After hearing this, Maeda Keiji couldn't help but be overjoyed, although the lord didn't say it explicitly, but it was already very clear, the meaning of a tooth for a tooth was not to raid the Hojo family's main camp, this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so Maeda Keiji changed his attitude just now, and immediately went down happily and began to prepare.

Since the Takayama family's main camp and the Hojo army's main camp were only three miles apart, as soon as the iron cannon on his side fired, the Hojo clan's side immediately heard the sound, and with the smoke of gunfire, he knew that it must be the Narita clan chief who began to attack the Takayama family's main camp.

And at this moment, he didn't have anything to hesitate, and immediately ordered the Hojo clan to lead the army out, of course, he didn't dare to send all the troops, after all, once this army was all sent, there would be no one available in the formation, although in terms of the main battlefield, the Hojo clan was not worried, because the Takayama family's main formation was attacked, so even if the Hojo clan was not dispatched, the Takayama army on the main battlefield would choose to retreat to aid the main formation, but he would not forget, There were several other battlefields on the Ashigara Plains that were not in the hands of the Hojo clan, so he had to leave enough reserves to deal with the contingencies, so after making a choice, he finally ordered only the Hojo clan to lead an army of 6,000 to join the warband. After all, he believed that the Alpine Army was bound to retreat, and with these 6,000 fresh troops, it was enough to defeat the enemy when he retreated.

After all, the Takayama Army is different from the army under its command, and the elite under its command is good at defense, even if it retreats, it is also a formation and leaves, not giving the other party a chance to pursue at all, but it is indeed slightly inferior to the Takayama Army in terms of attack, and the Takayama Army is different, although its offensive ability is good, but once it retreats, it is difficult to achieve coordinated evacuation, and once it encounters pursuit, it is easy to collapse, so at this point, Hojo Clan is not worried at all.

But the fact did not develop as the Hojo clan expected, when the six thousand reserves just left the main formation, before they arrived at the main battlefield, they were subjected to the interception of the Takayama cavalry, fortunately, the Hojo army was in formation, in order to be scattered by the Takayama cavalry, otherwise they would not have needed the flag samurai to raid the main formation, they would be able to complete this task, and as soon as the two armies engaged, although he was a little frightened by the arrival of the opposing cavalry, he learned that Tamu Mototada Kurobei was not defeated, but was still fighting with the Takayama family Ueno legion, And after the cavalry of the Alpine Army came to aid the main battlefield, Duomu Yuanzhong had achieved an absolute advantage, so he immediately calmed down, after all, in his opinion, even if there were a few more armies, the Takayama Army on the main battlefield would still retreat, he didn't think that after these armies learned that the formation was attacked, they could continue to fight without rescuing the formation, and the more troops the other side came, the less pressure on other aspects, which not only did not hurt, but also had a lot of benefits for the family.

But as time went by, the Hojo clan Masaka felt more and more uncomfortable, because he found that the Takayama army on the main battlefield did not seem to have the intention of retreating, he didn't think that the other party did not know that the main formation had been attacked, after all, the gunsmoke, the loud noise even he could see clearly, and he really heard it, the distance between them and the main formation was closer than his own, how could he not hear it?

Then this can only show one point, that is, the Takayama clan must have given orders to these military forces, and learned that the other party had no intention of retreating from the beginning, which is enough to show that the Takayama clan has long been prepared, and the Narita clan chief has no possibility of making contributions.

At this time, he realized that he was already at an absolute disadvantage, and it was no longer possible to complete the defeat of the enemy on the main battlefield, once this goal could not be achieved, then it could be proved that the family had failed this decisive battle, after all, although the main battlefield family could fight on par with the Takayama army, but in other battlefields, except for the current black reserve of the multi-eye Yuanzhong, the other two were at an absolute disadvantage.

When he analyzed the current situation clearly, he began to hesitate in his heart, whether he should give the order to withdraw the troops immediately. If he could give the order to withdraw his troops at this time, then with the strict reorganization of the Hojo Army, he could still retain a lot of strength, but how could the clan give him such an opportunity.

At the same time as the Hojo clan hesitated, the clan had already received the news that the other party had sent another 6,000 troops to participate in the battle, and at this time, the Narita army outside the camp had been completely suppressed by the iron cannon and bow team of the Takayama family, although the other party was still sending troops to try to break through, but now they had tasted the power of the Takayama army, and they could no longer bring up the idea of fighting to the death, so every time they rushed to the range of the bow team and the iron cannon, as soon as the iron cannon rang out, it was immediately defeated, and after repeating it several times, Narita Nagano knew, With only these troops under his command, it is no longer possible to cause any damage to the Takayama army's main formation, so he immediately gave up the attack and waited for the rout of the Takayama army on the main battlefield, but not only did he not wait for the Takayama army to fail, but waited until the two thousand Takayama family banner samurai team led by Maeda Keiji and Wind Demon Kojiro, due to several battles, the original 4,000 troops led by the Narita clan were only 36,700 people left at this moment. But when the Takayama family flag moto samurai team was dispatched, these more than 3,000 people just blocked the way, and Maeda Keiji and Wind Demon Kojiro were now holding back uncomfortable, so they didn't mind attacking the enemy's main formation at the same time, and they would easily defeat this Narita army first.

The head of the Narita clan didn't expect that the clan would dare to send troops to fight at this time, after all, the fact that his own formation was attacked couldn't be concealed at all, and it wouldn't take long for the front to retreat, at this time, he should strengthen the defense of the main formation and wait for the front army to come back, there was no reason to arrange the army to go to the main battlefield, could it be that the Gaoshan clan was just the opposite of what he thought, he just wanted to use these two thousand troops to prove that the main battlefield of the front of the mountain army was fine?

No matter what he thought now, seeing that the other party had already rushed over, even if he didn't want to fight at the moment, he had to fight, so he immediately ordered his troops to resist. (To be continued.) )
