Chapter 659: Bloody Battle of Miyagawa (2)

Seeing that the attack of the two armies of his family was blocked, Wasuka Masakatsu wanted to lead his ninjas to rush over, as long as the ninja army could pass, then the battle situation would definitely change.

However, the two armies of Jingjia and Scimitar opposite Miyagawa are almost out of place, and in such a small place, let alone a thousand ninjas, there is no place for anyone to put their feet.

When Wasuka Masakatsu saw the battle situation in front of him and was at a loss for anything, he only heard a middle shinobi behind him speak: "Lord Commander, look! As he spoke, he saw his hands pointing forward.

Following the direction of his finger, I saw that the enemy's two thousand-man army was moving to the side, judging from their movements, they wanted to surround the fine armor, if the encirclement was formed, then the two armies of the family would be dangerous.

What to do? What can be done to defeat the enemy army, Wasuka Masakatsu has never felt so helpless since the beginning of the battle with the leader, and seeing the two armies of Jingjia and Scimitar in danger, he can only stand on the pontoon bridge and watch, which makes his heart feel very uncomfortable.

Although they could still retreat across the pontoon bridge at the moment of danger, as soon as they retreated, the enemy could take advantage of the chaos and try to push them back, but it was not so easy, and now there was not much time left for the ninja army, and they had to rush before the enemy surrounded them.

At this time, his gaze had been removed from the battlefield opposite Miyagawa, but fell to the water, because this place belonged to the upper reaches of Miyagawa, the water surface was not only wide, but also very deep, otherwise there would be no need to build a pontoon bridge so troublesome, although so, he could feel it. The current is not very fast, and it is not impossible to swim through it.

Thinking of this, Masakatsu Wasuka couldn't help but light up in his eyes, right! Since there is no room for the thousand ninja troops under his command here, it is better to swim behind them and attack.

Thinking of this, he immediately walked off the bridge and came to the front of the thousand ninjas, and asked loudly, "Stand up with good water nature!" ”

When his voice fell. No matter what the ninjas didn't know what the Lord was going to do, no one hesitated, and more than two hundred people immediately stood up.

Most of the Takayama ninjas come from all over the world. There are so many water-based ninjas who come out at once, and it is also expected by Wasuka Masakatsu.

"You take off your armor immediately and swim past Miyagawa with me!" Said here. I heard him speak again: "The remaining 800 people obey the order, and as soon as the enemy retreats, you will rush over immediately, and there will be no mistake." ”

After saying that, Wasuka Masakatsu waited for the more than 200 ninjas and headed south along the riverbank.

And on the east bank of Miyagawa, the two ashigaru teams of fine armor and scimitar have been attached to each other at this moment, and the gap between them just now has long disappeared with the enemy's attack, which makes it even more difficult for them to exert their true strength.

Not only that, but now the enemy's divided forces have reached the appointed position. Now there are enemy attacks on all three sides, except for the west.

And just when the two armies had been forced to the bridgehead, they saw that more than 200 people were rushing over from the south, and Watanabe Moritsuna, who was facing the south, saw this and shouted that it was not good. Since Wasuka Masakatsu and the more than 200 ninjas who rushed over had already taken off their armor, Watanabe Moritsuna did not recognize them, and the first thing he thought of was that this army was coming from the south, could it be that the enemy had already defeated the army of his own family on the side of the two pontoon bridges in the south, otherwise how could they have the extra army to throw it to the north.

And so it goes. Isn't the lord in danger? Thinking of this, he wanted to order his troops to retreat to the west bank as soon as possible and go to the main position to defend, but before he could give the order, he saw a familiar face, this person was not Wasuka Masakatsu, who else could it be.

The samurai of the Takeda family saw that there was suddenly a force rushing behind him, and he couldn't help but be puzzled, he began to think that it was probably the ninja army in the wind demon that had arrived, but if he thought about it carefully, it was absolutely wrong, even if the ninja army in the wind demon came, it should have appeared from the north, and there was no reason to come from the south at all, thinking of this, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, it was difficult to see that the enemy had already attacked the other two pontoon bridges, this was the enemy's reinforcements! …,

I heard Matsuyama City immediately order: "Hurry, when the enemy army is charging behind, hurry!" ”

But because of his hesitation just now, Wasuka Masakatsu had already rushed to the front, although at this time the Takeda army in the back two rows had already turned around, and it was difficult for them to engage in close combat with the enemy, but the ninja army was different from the elite armor scimitar ashigaru, and they had many ways to restrain the enemy's gun formation.

When there were still twenty or thirty meters between the two sides, I saw that the ninjas led by Wasuka Masakatsu took out their shurikens from their arms and shot at the enemy, and the spears in the hands of the Takeda army could not resist at all, and dozens of people fell to the ground with swords in an instant.

If one or two people were killed, the back of the ashigaru could be immediately replaced, but more than thirty people fell in an instant, and it was not so simple to fill the position, and the ninja army under the command of Wasuka Masakatsu did not give them time to fill the vacant position at all, and they immediately pounced on it when there was a vacancy in the enemy ranks.

Originally, the enemy wanted to form a flanking attack on the Takayama army, but with more than 200 ninja troops participating in the battle, their plan not only failed, but the situation was completely reversed, and now they have become the target of the flanking attack.

Seeing that the situation in the south had been opened, Wasuka Masakatsu immediately drew out more than 100 ninjas to attack the rear of the enemy army in the north, relieving some pressure on the scimitar ashigaru.

He sent a hundred ninjas to help in the battle, which seemed to be small in number, but it was enough to deal with the Takeda army with a single attack method, and as soon as the shuriken came out, it quickly opened up the situation as it did here.

And Watanabe Moritsuna and Maeda Toshiie, seeing that the enemy has signs of chaos, the opportunity to know that the road is rare, so they unanimously ordered the deputy generals Hori Hidemasa and Nakagawa Kiyohide to be responsible for resisting the attack of the enemy on the other side, and they themselves are leading the rest of the army, while the enemy is focusing on the behind, looking for opportunities to melee with the enemy, originally they were facing several stabbing blades after opening a spear, but now when they opened the enemy's spear again, there were very few spears to replenish, Therefore, not only was the number of dead greatly reduced, but soon the front line was already in front of the enemy, and it was only a matter of time before the enemy was fully melee.

The two leading generals in the Takeda army saw that melee combat with the enemy was inevitable, so they had to accept this reality, although this would make their advantage completely useless, but they did not have the intention of retreating and re-arraying, the two knew in their hearts that once they retreated, then more enemies would attack, so that the battle situation would be out of control.

And if you fight to the death with the enemy to the end and don't give up a single step, then even if the enemy adds more than 200 ninjas who are more engaged in the battle, the attacking army will only have less than 1,100 people.

On the west bank of the Miyagawa River, the clan clan sat firmly in the middle of the formation, and he thought that the first thing he heard should be the roar of the iron cannon salvo, but he didn't hear the sound of the iron cannon, but he heard the sound of the report from the ninja who was in charge of reporting the battle situation.

"Report to the lord, the enemy on the east bank of the two pontoon bridges in central and southern China did not attack, but only lined up outside the firing range and waited for the attack of his own army."

After hearing this, the clan opened his mouth and asked, "How is the battle situation on the Maeda Toshi's side?" ”

"Back to the lord, Maeda-sama and Watanabe-sama have begun to lead the army to the enemy in close combat, and Wasuka-sama has also led more than 200 ninja troops to swim to the other side and attack from behind the enemy, but there are 2,000 enemy troops here, so it is difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time, and please ask the lord to decide."

After hearing this, the clan couldn't help frowning, only to hear him ask: "Why did Wasuka Masakatsu only lead more than two hundred ninjas to cross the river, and the remaining more than seven hundred?" And why you swam over, tell me clearly. ”…,

Then the ninja gave a general account of the situation just now, and after listening to it, the clan praised Wasuka Masakatsu for his wit, and scolded Yama Prefecture Masakatsu for being cunning.

But the other side only has a total of 3,500 troops, that is to say, the Takeda army guarding the other two pontoon bridges only has a few hundred people each, since the northernmost side cannot break through, then let Maeda Toshiya and others entangle the 2,000 enemy troops, and their own side will attack from the other side.

When the clan thought of this, he immediately ordered: "Order, transfer the two hundred ninjas from the middle line to the southern front, and after the army is assembled, launch an attack on the enemy from the southern front!" ”

"It's the lord, and the subordinates will do it."

While the clan has been paying attention to the battle situation, Sanada Masayuki has been keeping his head down, as if thinking about something, after the war started, he found that there seemed to be something that had been ignored, Yamada Scene was a member of the fierce general, how could he take a defensive position as soon as he came up with his character, and when the ninja finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

As soon as the ninja retreated, he saw Sanada Masayuki frowning and said, "My lord, my subordinates feel that the performance of the Takeda Army seems to be a little strange. ”

"Huh? What did you find? I only heard the clan ask hurriedly, since the war, he is definitely a little wrong, but he can't think of anything for a while, and now the battle is fierce, he didn't think much about it, and now he heard Sanada Masayuki say, he immediately found that he had indeed ignored something.

This battle is not only related to whether they can take all Hida, but also related to the fate of the family, if it wins, then everything is easy to say, but once defeated, then there is really nothing, not only will they lose their territory, but even the Oda family will suffer a lot of losses.

If the Takeda army is really allowed to go straight to Gifu from Hida and carry out a surprise attack on the Oda family, it will definitely turn the tide of the war, as the culprit, if Nobunaga can spare himself, it will be strange, at that time, even if he does not cut his stomach and be exiled, then he will not be able to escape the end of leaving the power center of the Oda family and being forced to retire, so it is not prudent for the clan to be cautious.
