He walked very quickly when he came to Hamamatsu, and now he is even quicker when he returns to Inax. But the main reason for the panic in this operation is still me!

Of course, I have intelligence networks in Sanhe and Yuanjiang, and if I say that there is no you, it is impossible to believe it! Of course, I won't let my guard down on the "old tortoise", but they are all "underground" people, and the scope of surveillance is focused on politics, economics, military deployment, major interpersonal relationships, and so on. They are not battlefield scouts, they are not trained in this area, and there is no direct contact with my troops in their information channels. I also have my own concerns about not letting real ninjas come, and it is impossible for Tokugawa Ieyasu to find out about their large activities, which may cause trouble too soon!

I didn't expect to be sent here by Oda Nobunaga, so the battlefield detection ninjas who were arranged had already entered Omi and Echizen in advance. As soon as I received the order, I rushed over day and night, and even the ninja's feet were too fast to be completely ready before the cavalry! This made me "numb claws" all of a sudden, and now I can't even grasp the basic battlefield situation, not only did I not know about the outbreak of the Mikatahara Battle until now, but I was still on the road and Sakuma Nobumori and they were wrong! Such a mistake is highly likely to be fatal, and the ninja system needs to be further improved.

By 5 p.m. we were halfway there, and just when I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the "trouble" came!

"Lord!" Shimakatsu Takeshi, who had opened the way in front, sent a herald and brought very bad news. “…… The road ahead was blocked by the Takeda Army, and it looked like there were about 2,000 people! ”

"So fast?!" I was deeply shocked by the "speed" of the Takeda Army, and what is even more worrying is that they have already prepared. "Let's take a look!" My depressed lead galloped forward.

The group came to the front and saw Katsu Shima, who was anxious, and we didn't need to say that we could see the situation ourselves. About 700 meters in front of us, there was a dense array of pikelets, and at a cursory glance it was not the mob-style army that was used to be. The leather armor, leggings, and small bamboo hats on the big red side of the gun, and the red ground and yellow "Takeda Ling" leaning flag on the wind, and the spears shining with cold light in their hands are lined up and pointed at us. This is not a bamboo gun that makes do with things, but all of them are aggravated horse repulsion rifles specially designed to deal with cavalry! What's even more worrying is their momentum, the whole army didn't make a sound, and there was not the slightest fluctuation, if it weren't for those cold eyes full of murderous aura, I would really think it was just a group of statues!

"How so?" I put down my binoculars and said hatefully. "Didn't they just go through a big battle in the morning? I don't see the slightest sign of this! ”

"Lord!" Shima Katsu couldn't wait for my "emotion" to finish, so he anxiously urged: "Since this Takeda army is deployed here, it is obvious that it has learned of the whereabouts of our army, and then a large army will come to support. If the lord doesn't make a decision sooner, it will be difficult for me to leave this place this time! ”

"Well...... "Of course I understand this truth, after all, I have been fighting for so many years!" I was terrified that cavalry could be used to attack the spear ashigaru that was waiting for him, and that it was such an elite pikeke. But what can you do if you don't rush? Detour? Since this army can stand in the way here, then the other roads are not necessarily too peaceful! Once the detour is delayed, maybe it will be caught up by the main force of the Takeda Army, and it will really be a catastrophe! In fact, as long as the cavalry is divided into small teams and attacked with javelins, this formation is not difficult to break, but what I lack most at the moment is time, and I must make up my mind early. "Can you tell who the military general on the other side is?" There was a glimmer of hope in my heart that if I ran into a guy like Shikatsu, I might be able to get out of the crisis.

"Look at the banner should be Baoke Zhengjun!"

"Ah~!" Shima Shengmeng's words broke my expectations, how did I meet this "gun and bullet positive"! In the face of such a force trained by experts, in the event of a hard attack...... "we will turn around and go south, bypass!" "I still chose to avoid it, this "armor horse" is my hard work, and I can't bear to let it suffer huge losses.

"Yes!" Shimakatsu immediately conveyed the order, and at this time there was no room for discussion of any order. "The whole army turned around and changed the rear team to the front team, and ......"

"Look, Lord!" Just as the troops were rapidly changing formations, a guard banner next to me suddenly pulled me and pointed behind me and shouted. Looking in the direction he pointed, a cavalry of hundreds of people in the rolling dust swept towards the ground!

A water red armor, a water brown-red war horse, and a fiery red flag with a watermark of "Takeda Ling" are the world-famous Takeda "Akabei"! The snow-bright long knife turned into a silvery halo under the reflection of the setting sun, and there was a bit of desolate beauty in the afterglow! It is said that the color red will make people's spirits enter a state of excitement, and they are afraid that they will soon enter into bloodthirsty frenzy when facing the scenery in front of them.

"Huh~!" Because the reflection of the opposite side was too dazzling, I instinctively turned my head and blinked, but suddenly I noticed that the Hoshina Masatoshi Division, who had been lined up in the front, was slowly moving forward. Suddenly! The scene of the battle in Stone City a year ago flashed into my mind. If the cavalry is entangled and loses its impact, even if the blocking force is much weaker than their own strength, then once they are surrounded and attacked by the pikemen on the periphery, what awaits them is almost doomed!

"Lord!" Apparently also found himself in such a critical situation, and grabbed the reins of my horse and shouted, "...... It's too late to retreat, the only way to do this is to move forward! With the heart of death, you may be able to fight a way out! ”

"That'...... All right! I said yes with difficulty. With my 2,000 armored cavalry, if I want to break through the 2,000 spears that occupy a favorable position in front and defeat the about 500 "red reserves" behind, it should be said that it can still be done! As long as the main force of the Takeda Army does not suddenly appear, our forces will still have a slight advantage after offsetting the enemy's geographical advantage. But it is precisely because of the lack of mastery of the variable of Takeda's main force that time has become a key factor! This deprived me of the opportunity to switch and move, and it seemed inevitable that the huge casualties would be inevitable after the hard hit!

"Lord Island protects the lord and goes first, and I'll go to block the pursuers behind!" Shinhachiro shouted the "Fury of Shura" in his hand.

"You...... Be careful! "What else can I say at this time?

"Yes!" Shinhachiro hissed under the reins of the horse, and then took the lead to meet the 500 Takeda Chibei cavalry behind, and the four captains of the armored cavalry followed closely behind with 200 horses at the signal of Shima Katsuto.

"Listen to me!" Shimakatsu raised the Kikuchi gun in his hand upwards, and then drew an arc in the air and pointed forward. "Ya, rush!" The remaining 1,800 cavalrymen charged forward in a huge cone, each with his shield up to cover the main part of his body while holding his saber at his side.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and finally after a wave of "gun rain", they collided together with a bloody burst! For the first time, I saw an army that was still calm and normal in the face of my cavalry onslaught, as if it was only a breeze coming at me, and the nearly 100 people around me (because the stormtrooper formation was not good for throwing, so the true power of the javelins was not exerted. The comrade-in-arms was shot down by the javelin and did not realize it. They only raised the position of the spears slightly, aiming at the knights who looked like cans.

"Bang dang!" The knight at the tip of the cone, who was in line, was stabbed off his horse, and because he was the first, there were more than a dozen spears in front of him, and it was because of this that several of his companions at his side got a chance. In the first wave of "contact", more than 70 knights at the front of the position fell off their horses. I grabbed the reins of my horse and closed my eyes, and everyone knew what it meant to fall off my horse in the high-speed onslaught of such a cavalry group! The cone-shaped "point" was worn away and turned into a hemispherical shape, but the whole regiment crashed into the pike-army formation, stepping on the bodies of its companions! The cavalry at this time lost its impact, and the tight "gun formation" was destroyed.

Due to the "smallness" of the infantry targets and the widening of the cavalry formation, many people and horsemen and horsemen were mixed together. The "intimacy" of squeezing each other turned the spear into a useless burden, and the knight on the horse brought a bloody light with a single sword. The soldiers of the Takeda Army were well-trained, and many of them threw down their spears and drew daggers (usually Ashigaru did not have such equipment as knives), but because this weapon could not reach high places, the heavy armor damage to the cavalry was still minimal.

But the spears on the periphery are definitely a nightmare for the cavalry that has stopped, and people can fall at any time when they are up and down, and the difference is only that there are not enough to form an encirclement.

"Don't dwell on it, rush forward!" Shimakatsu yelled while urging his horse to the front of the line, waving his hand and shooting away a Takeda soldier who was "in the way". The topography of the Enjiang River is between plains and hills, and there are few terrains that are too dangerous. Just like this intersection is also quite wide, although the Takeda Army is all blocked, the depth of the military formation is slightly thin. Shima Katsutoshi knows very well that we are not trying to destroy this enemy at this moment, and once we delay and be caught up by the main force of the Takeda Army, it will be over.

"I'm here with Baoke Zhengjun, where are you going!" Just when Shima Katsutoshi had just opened a small gap, a general Takeda in black armor and holding a red gun blocked in front of him. With the input of more than a hundred soldiers behind him, the gap was blocked again.

"Look for death!" Shima Katsu stabbed with a shot in his eyes, and he was in no mood to bother with the other party at this time. The chance of life and death will be reversed in an instant, and he tried his best with this shot.

"Hey!" Baoke Zhengjun snapped and greeted him with a gun, and the intersection of blades brought a spark. He is worthy of being a master of marksmanship, and the red gun hovers and stirs up the defense and leads the attack.

"Die!" The Kikuchi gun in Shimakatsu's hand has been entangled by the opponent, and he can't get out for a while. He understands that the other party's martial arts are not far from his own, and the only way to win quickly is to highlight the "strange moves". With the help of the spear, he castrated and kicked the horse's belly, and when he lowered his head, his forehead hit the chest of Hoshina with all his might.

"Ahh Baoke Zhengjun never imagined that he would have such a hand, and his body leaned back and was knocked off the horse all of a sudden. The red gun in his hand also flew out far away, and was nailed to the ground by Shima Shengmeng who followed him and shot him in the chest.

"Baoke Zhengjun has already begged for death, and you will move forward bravely with me!" Shimakatsu swung his spear forward and drank, and the morale of the Takeda soldiers began to loosen after being stunned.

"I, Masashi Baoke, now take over the command position......" At this time, a military general with the same black helmet and black armor holding a red gun rushed out, looking very similar to Masatoshi Baoke, but it seems that he is not yet 20 years old. Even if there is only one person left today, the Zhuxing Qing Clan will be blocked here! For the sake of Lord Jeongjun who died in battle, and for the sake of not falling into the prestige of Koshu men such as us! Inspired by him, the Takeda Army once again killed with a hundred times more courage......
