Chapter 414: Invincible Army Formation (II)

Takeda Shingen couldn't help but think that if he sent an army to assault, even if the family could win, it would be a disastrous victory, which would affect the Kamira after the family, he originally planned to carry out Kamiraku a month after capturing Suruga, but if the subordinate Chibei suffered serious losses in this Sanzeng Pass, then it would be impossible, the battle of Kamira was mainly based on the elite, even if there were more peasants, it would be useless, and Imagawa Yoshimoto was the best example, if the loss in this battle was too large, then at least there would be no chance for a year. [Literature]

However, if he didn't attack the Hojo Army now, then once he put it into Suruga, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the Hojo Army's ability to defend the city was already understood, and if the castle in Suruga was taken by him, it would be difficult for him to take it back.

Moreover, the Hojo family's army is more powerful than its own army, and if it is really allowed to enter Suruga, I am afraid that this battle will also be reversed, and the idea of capturing Suruga himself and opening up the road to Kamiraku will also be shattered. And the most important thing is that the family will be trapped in the Xinjia area because of this, unable to move.

So no matter what, no matter what the cost, it is absolutely necessary to keep the Hojo Army out of Suruga Province.

Thinking of this, Takeda Shingen finally made a decision, and only listened to him speak: "Everyone, listen to the order, I have decided to lead the army to attack the Hojo Army and get on the horse!" After speaking, I saw Takeda Shingen turn over and get on his horse, and he was about to lead the army to assault.

Seeing this, Sanada Nobutsuna hurriedly stood in front of Takeda Shingen and said: "If the lord goes out of the army at this moment, he will definitely suffer heavy losses, and his subordinates think that it is necessary to think about it in the long run. ”

After he finished speaking. Several other retainers also came to Takeda Shingenma, and they all opened their mouths to persuade them: "My lord, what Sanada-sama said is reasonable, now is not the best time to go out into the army, please think twice." ”

Although some retainers persuaded him, Takeda Shingen was still firm, and only listened to him and said, "You don't need to persuade anymore, if you put the Hojo Army into Suruga, then everything you did before will be in vain, and if you can't keep the Hojo Army out of Suruga." Then this family is also in the possibility of Shangluo, so it is imperative to launch an assault, you hurry up, otherwise you will miss the best opportunity to assault. ”

"Lord, do your subordinates think that you can attack Odawara Castle now, there is a plan in the military law book to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and now it can be used, if Hojo Shiyasu learns that Odawara Castle is besieged, he will inevitably lead the army back. In this way, not only can it not enter Suruga, but it will also allow its own army to move freely. As long as there is an opportunity, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy, this is the foolish opinion of the subordinates, and the lord is invited to decide. "Kohata Masashi knows that now the lord has made up his mind, if he just blindly persuades, it is impossible for the lord to change his decision, and only by thinking of other strategies can he impress the lord, and this is the method he came up with.

After he finishes speaking. Takeda Shingen didn't speak directly, but thought about it carefully, and at first he also thought that this strategy was feasible, but he soon thought that Hojo Shiyasu was also a person who was familiar with military books, and he had always been cautious, how could he not leave enough troops to prevent him from taking precautions, in case he led his army to attack Odawara Castle. If he doesn't lead the army back, then he will have to regret it, and the current situation is already very unfavorable to his family, and if he is not sure, he must not use an uncertain strategy, otherwise he will fall short, resulting in a complete loss.

And if you attack the Hojo family directly now. Although it will cause a lot of damage to the family, it is also the most effective at the moment. The most direct way to block the Hojo Army from entering Suruga, and now it is the only way. In order to make Takeda Shingen feel at ease.

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "The Hojo clan Yasuno is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and when he goes out of the army, how can he not think about the safety of the territory, so I dare to assert that now there must be a heavy army in Odawara City, so you don't need to say more, it is better to launch a surprise attack directly." ”…,

Now the retainers of the Takeda family have no choice, so they have to take the order, after the Takeda family's nearly 2,000 troops are lined up, the Hojo family's 6,000 army is just over the hills, if you launch an assault now, then you can assault behind the enemy, I saw Takeda Shingen hand over the military fan in his hand to the attendants next to him, and pulled out the sword on his waist with a "swish", pointed to the Hojo army under the mountain, and said: "Attack!" After he finished speaking, he saw the Takeda family Akabi rolling up the dust and rushing towards the Hojo army under the mountain.

"The Takeda Army is here." When the Hojo family's five-color bishiki saw the dust of the hills not far away, and thousands of akabi rushed down, they instinctively shouted.

"Don't panic, there are few soldiers in Takeda, quickly line up the gun formation, and the left and right formations will quickly go forward to support." Hojo Shiyasu and his retainers had already made preparations, so after seeing the Takeda family's ambush army, they didn't panic too much, and just listened to their calm command.

And when the Takeda army rushed down the hillside, the left and right formations of the Hojo army had already stepped forward and parallel to the rear formation, and raised the spear in his hand like the first few rows of ashigaru in the rear formation, waiting for the enemy's attack, Takeda Shingen saw that the other party had already prepared, and couldn't help frowning, he knew that if he led the army under his command to rush over like this, then he would definitely be surrounded by the enemy, so that the army of his family would fall into a situation of no return.

Don't look at the elite strength of the army, however, Takeda Shingen is not arrogant enough to break through the enemy position with only the strength of the 2,000 troops under his command, and if you want to inflict casualties on the enemy, then you can only rely on the advantage of cavalry speed, wander outside the enemy formation, and launch an attack, in this way, not only can you bring casualties to the enemy, but also can ensure that your own army will not suffer major losses.

Seeing that Akabi was about to rush to the front of the Hojo Army's gun array, he saw that Takeda Shingen led the army to turn around immediately, and went towards the south with the gun array, he wanted to bypass the three formations in front of him and directly attack the central formation where Hojo Shiyasu was located from the side.

When he saw Takeda Shingen turn around, he ordered loudly: "The left formation retreats, and the front and rear formations move forward, blocking the enemy army." ”

After he gave the order, he saw that the front and back formations of the Hojo family and the left formation formed a straight line in front of the central formation, and blocked the Takeda army, which had already circled to the south.

Seeing that the two attacks failed to achieve success, Takeda Shingen couldn't help but think that if it continued like this, it would be impossible to make a difference in the face of such a strong position of the enemy, and he needed to think of some other tactics.

After doing several useless battles, he finally found that there was a distance of twenty meters between each formation of the Hojo family, and if he attacked from one side, there would be three formations combined to block in front of him, and it was impossible for the army under his command to pass through, and if the army was divided into two or three ways, then how should the enemy rescue?

As long as the army's strength passes through the gap of about 20 meters, it can directly attack the center where Hojo Shiyasu is located, and as long as Hojo Shiyasu can be captured, then the enemy's army formation will inevitably collapse.

Thinking of this, he only heard Takeda Shingen open his mouth and order: "Sanada Nobutsuna, Sanada Masaaki, and Kohata Masamori, the three of you each lead five hundred Chibei from different directions, penetrate the enemy formation, and directly take the enemy into the middle of the formation. ”

When his words fell, he saw the Takeda family Akabi split into four and attacked the Hojo Army from different directions.

The Hojo army was immediately taken by surprise, and in just a moment, fifty or sixty ashigaru were stabbed in the body by the weapon in Akabi's hand and fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing this, Hojo Shiyasu did not feel anxious, I saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he was sneering non-stop, if the five-color preparation array only has such a role, then it is not worthy of being called one of the strongest formations at all, what he is waiting for is Takeda Shingen's division of troops to take this central formation, only in this way can he defeat the other party, or even completely annihilate the enemy. …,

When the four teams of the Takeda family had already arrived outside the middle formation, they only heard Hojo Shiyasu order loudly: "Takeda Shingen, today I will let you see the strongest blow in this five-color formation." ”

Speaking of this, I only heard Hojo Shiyasu order loudly: "Five-color preparation array, together!" ”

When his words fell, I saw that the four ashigaru formations outside the middle formation immediately turned around under the leadership of the samurai, and approached the middle formation from four directions, sandwiching the four teams of Akabi in the middle.

Originally, there was a passage twenty meters wide, but it was instantly compressed to less than ten meters, and if the five preparations were really brought together, then the red preparations would be shattered.

And the Takeda family Chibei didn't expect the enemy to have this hand, so under the two-sided clamp, the formation was suddenly chaotic, and there were many casualties, because the passage was too narrow, it was impossible for the Takeda family to put up any formation, only to see them struggling to attack the outward five-color preparation, wanting to use this to expand the passage some, and after paying a great price, the passage was finally widened to ten meters by them, as long as the passage was widened, they could escape from the weakest point of the enemy on both sides.

And Takeda Shingen and the hundreds of Chibei led by him escaped a catastrophe, Takeda Shingen felt that something was wrong when he saw that the enemy's army was just approaching the center, so he immediately led his troops to break away from the Hojo Army, otherwise I am afraid that he will also be trapped in the formation.

Takeda Shingen originally wanted to lead the army to rescue the other three armies, however, he knew that it was useless to go on a rampage in the face of such a strong formation of the Hojo family, so he did not directly launch a surprise attack on the enemy formation, but commanded the army to fight with the enemy at the entrance of each passage, as long as they could be eliminated, then the trapped Ashigaru was equivalent to having a way to escape, and the Hojo family Ashigaru at the entrance of this passage was only more than 100 people, and they were quickly slaughtered under the inside and outside of the Takeda family.
