The Hojo clan Yasumi was about to rush out of the trapped, and it was obviously impossible to annihilate them completely, but even so, it would have to deal a heavy blow to the Takeda clan Akabi, and the more enemies that were eliminated now, the less resistance they would encounter after entering Suruga

Thinking of this, he only listened to Hojo Shiyasu's order to the Huang Bei array where he was: "Huang Bei listens to the order, advances around, and kills the Takeda army." ”

After his order was given, I saw that the first two rows of ashigaru on all sides of the middle formation immediately moved forward, and when they moved, the passage between the formations immediately retracted back to seven or eight meters, and because the five ashigaru formations of the Hojo family were all moving forward, the pressure was more than doubled, and more Ashigaru was killed under this strong squeeze.

Every time Takeda Shingen rescues a red cavalry army, his heart will drip blood once, when the most reinvented after rescuing Sanada Nobutsuna, the red reserve under his command is already less than three hundred horses, although the two sides have been fighting for less than an hour, but the Takeda family has seven hundred casualties, and these seven hundred troops are the elite that Takeda Shingen spent a lot of effort to cultivate, and so many troops were killed at once, which made Takeda Shingen's heart hurt to the extreme.

Looking at the Hojo Army, with the four-meter spear in their hands, they rarely came close to Akabei, except for the more than 400 ashigaru who were killed in order to open the passage between the formations, there were almost no losses, and it was unimaginable that the infantry could have such a result in the face of cavalry.

Seeing that the enemy had already formed five formations and had no chance at all, Takeda Shingen couldn't help but retract his military momentum and began to confront the enemy.

In the near future, it will definitely be impossible to go to Rakuraku, even if you want to prevent the Hojo Army from recovering Suruga, it has become a luxury. //

And if you continue to fight now, it will simply increase casualties, and there is no point, rather than this, it is better to rely on the speed of cavalry to enter Suruga first, relying on the castle to block the enemy, and the Hojo family is good at defending, but the attack power is ordinary, maybe you can prevent the other party from entering Suruga, and as long as Sunfu Castle is breached, then the thousands of troops can quickly come to help, and there is still hope for holding Suruga

Thinking of this, I only heard Takeda Shingen say hatefully to the Hojo clan Yasu in the enemy formation: "Hojo clan Yasu, I'm waiting for you in Suruga." ”

Takeda Shingen didn't give Hojo Shiyasu a chance to speak at all, but only listened to him order to the army under his command again: "Retreat!" With that, he turned his horse and left, and the remaining more than 1,200 Chibei also left.

Seeing that Takeda Shingen had retreated and suffered heavy losses, Hojo Shiyasu was extremely excited, this was the first time he defeated Takeda Shingen head-on, and his life would also leave a glorious page, and the most important thing was that the elite of the Takeda family was already small, and now more than 700 people were killed, and the strength was greatly weakened, so let alone control the East Suruga River, even if it was to dominate the entire territory of Suruga, it would not be difficult to conquer the entire territory of Suruga By then, he could go west to Shangluo to seize the world, and to the north he could capture Shinka to consolidate his strength, and in less than three years· Who else in the world is the opponent of the Hojo family.

Thinking about this, I only heard Hojo Shiro laugh wildly: "Ha Lu Ha ......Ha

Before he could finish speaking, Hojo Shiyasu only felt a sweet throat, and with a "poof" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then fell off the horse.

Seeing this, the retainers of the Hojo family hurriedly surrounded them and shouted anxiously: "The lord ······"

"Hurry up, the front army will be in the rear team, and the troops will quickly withdraw and return to Odawara Castle." Seeing that the lord was already unconscious, Hojo Tsunade hurriedly ordered.

Two days later, Takeda Shingen, who had arrived at Kokokuji Castle, saw that the Hojo army was delayed in attacking, and couldn't help but feel very puzzled, so he immediately sent someone to Sagaki to investigate, when he learned that Hojo Shiyasu was terminally ill and his retainers had to lead the army back to Odawara Castle, he was finally relieved, it seemed that it was impossible for the Hojo family to send out another army in the near future, so that he could attack Sunfu Castle with all his strength, and the city was just around the corner. …,

On that day, after leaving Koyamada Nobushige and 200 spear ashigaru, Takeda Shingen led 1,200 Chibei and 800 spear ashigaru, gathered together an army of 2,000, and went straight to Sunfu Castle.

In the city of Sunfu, the people of the Imagawa family saw that Hojo came to help, and couldn't help but rise up again, and Takeda Shingen led the main force to fight against the Hojo family, so the pressure was greatly reduced, so they were able to hold on until now, but the good times did not last long, it was only more than half a month later, and the news that the Hojo clan was seriously ill and the Hojo army had to return to Odawarara, and the people of the Imagawa family were completely desperate after hearing this bad news, and now looking at the country of Suruga, there is only one lonely city left, and not only will there be no more reinforcements, Moreover, the army in the city is already less than 800, even if the defense continues, the city will be defended for a few more days, and it is better to open the city and return to obedience now, so as not to let his subordinates die in vain.

Thinking of this, I only heard the Imagawa clan really speak: "Everyone, now, the defeat of the family has been decided, and it is futile to resist again, it is better to return to the Takeda family in order to spend the rest of your life in peace, I don't know what other suggestions you have?" ”

After Imagawa Shin finished speaking, he thought that his retainers would speak out to dissuade him, and he was willing to live and die with Sunfu Castle, although even if the retainers persuaded him, Imagawa Shin still chose to return to Shun, but this was somewhat comforting.

The situation that he imagined did not appear in front of his eyes, only more than a dozen people were seated

After listening to this, the ministers all lowered their heads and remained silent, and the assessment room was surprisingly quiet.

Seeing this, the Imagawa clan couldn't help but say again: "I have decided to return to the Takeda family, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Seeing that the retainers still didn't mean to speak, the Imagawa clan really felt very sad, and also had a hint of understanding, the reason why the family will lose, the strength is not as good as the other party, the most important thing is that since the death of the father of the barrel Sasama, the retainers of the family have no enterprising spirit, in such a troubled world, not to advance is to retreat, since then, it has been doomed to the demise of the family.

But although he had an epiphany now, it was too late.

After a short time, I saw that the gate of Sunfu Castle was wide open, and the Imagawa clan really walked in the front, and the retainers of the Imagawa family followed closely behind to welcome Takeda Shingen into the city.

And stationed in Tsunuma Castle to resist the attack of the Matsudaira family, Tsunabe Motonobu, after learning that the lord had returned to the Takeda family, couldn't help crying, and he was also the only bloody retainer of the Imagawa family, so he was not willing to let the Imagawa family perish like this, and this Tsushima Castle was too far away from Suruga, so he secretly opened the city gate that night, led his troops to withdraw from Shoma Castle overnight, and went to Takatenjin Castle, which was closer to Suruga, to garrison, and sent his retainers to Suruga to contact Imagawa Clan.
