Chapter 777: The Battle for the Far River (2)
Its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, and it is not moving like a mountain, this is the way of using soldiers that Takeda Shingen realized from Sun Tzu's Art of War, and with this, Takeda Shingen has become a famous general on the same level as the military god Uesugi Kenshin.

It may sound incredible, because this sentence is simply written in the Art of War, and the meaning is not very difficult to understand, so is there no one in the whole of Japan who can understand the meaning of this sentence? Or rather, has no one in the whole of Japan seen the Art of War?
Of course, this is impossible, because even the remote and backward Kai can get Sun Tzu's Art of War, how can the ministers and monks of not have a collection of copies? But in fact, only Takeda Shingen is famous for his Art of War, or rather, just by virtue of such a sentence.
The reason is very simple, Takeda Shingen completely let his troops implement this sentence, you must know that in this era, not everyone can really let their troops do this. This is the highest level of a general when commanding troops. Think about it, if Honganji had been able to command the followers of the Honshu-ji sect in this way, I am afraid that it would have swept away the whole of Japan long ago, right?
Aggression is like fire, like a burning fire. This is exactly the attitude of the Red Reserve Corps when attacking, will there be anything to fear from the flames? Apparently impossible! Therefore, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, as long as there is no order to retreat, there will not be the slightest pause in the pace of the Red Reserve Corps' advance.
"Lord Takasaka, I'll take someone up to rush a wave!" Seeing that he had been unable to rush to the city wall for a long time, Shan Changjing said anxiously.
Hearing this, Takasaka Masanobu hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement, "But be careful, the lord has instructed that if you can't do it, you will retreat temporarily." ”
Although Takeda Shingen did not expect his night attack to fail, but between the defense of Takatenjin Castle, he still told Takasaka Masanobu and Yama Prefecture Masaka Masaka to retreat as soon as they found out that something was wrong. Although the Red Reserve Corps is not afraid of death, Takeda Shingen is reluctant. After all, the cost of the Red Reserve Corps is too high and too high.
If it is said that the Japanese army with the strongest combat effectiveness in this era, or the Grim Reaper, can still fight with the Red Reserve Corps, but if you talk about the cost, I am afraid that there is no unit in the whole of Japan that can compare with the Red Reserve Corps. Belch...... Well, the cavalry and navy under Oda Yoshinobu were not among them, after all, the price of horses and ships was really difficult to estimate.
The reason why this is so is not that the armor of the Red Reserve Corps is really expensive, but just because ...... The Takeda family is in Kai!
The more remote the mountainous area, the price of many strategic materials will always be very expensive unless you produce them yourself, because it is impossible for the Oda family or other forces to kindly provide you with these things.
As for the rarity of the Red Reserve Corps, Yama County Changjing naturally does not know it, you must know that the entire Takeda family is only 10,000 Red Reserves. 2,000 rides plus 8,000 steps, this is already the limit of the Takeda family.
"Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I'll withdraw it immediately." Shan County Changjing said in a deep voice, and then rushed forward with the flag.
As soon as Changjing led the banner to the top, the city defense of the High Heavenly God City was immediately put to a huge test. After all, under the cover of having the Red Reserve Corps, the strength of Shan County Changjing and its banner is by no means something that ordinary standing forces can stop. Of course, what is more important is that Changjing of Shan County personally went out to boost the morale of the entire Red Reserve Corps, and the attack became more ferocious.
"Hold it off for me! The enemy must not be allowed to rush up! Asahinai Taichao kept patrolling the city walls, boosting morale and helping the soldiers in their defense. At this moment, he suddenly saw a man wearing crimson armor rushing up, and with two brushes of the sword in his hand, he slashed the two standing guards around him.
"That's ...... Yama County Changjing?! Asahina Tenchao muttered to himself in surprise, but immediately, he pulled out his sword and led someone to greet him, "That person is the general of the Takeda family, Yama Yama Shokei!" Kill him, reward 3,000 yuan, and make him a general! Asahinai shouted at the top of his voice.
Naturally, he didn't have this right, but he believed that if the Imagawa clan had known, he would have given more. After all, Yama Yama Changjing is the commander of the Takeda Red Cavalry Army.
Well? Why Asahinai Taichao can recognize Yama Yama Changjing at a glance. Well...... It's an interesting question. How so? Most samurai have the odd idea that if they die in battle, they must not make it impossible for their enemies to recognize who they are.
So many times, when they know that they are dead, they will always announce their identity loudly so that the enemy can know. Of course, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is likely that he has been killed by the enemy before he even understands what is going on, so what should he do at this time? It's as simple as getting something iconic on your body. And obviously on the battlefield, there is nothing easier to DIY than armor and helmets on your body.
Especially the helmet, Naoe's love, Date Masamune's slender half moon, and Sanada Yukimura's six mon coins are all logos made to show their identity. Well, Sanada Yukimura-sanaka is obviously the kind of person who has too few ideas, and he directly put the family crest on the helmet. Of course, in this era, the most famous is Oda Yoshinobu, who wears a white samurai uniform, how conspicuous it looks. It's a pity that no one dares to pretend on the battlefield like this except him.
"Asahina Tai Chao?!" When Yama Shan Changjing saw the rushing samurai, he also recognized the identity of the other party at a glance. "Just in time!" Yama County Changjing shouted excitedly, if he could kill Asahinai Tai Chao here, it wouldn't matter if tonight's night attack failed.
"Boom!" With a bang, the two knives collided together, and Shan Shan Changjing's body didn't shake for a moment, but Asahina Taichao was almost shocked by the terrifying power of the knife out of his hand.
"Come on, set up!" After only one fight, Asahina Taichao immediately understood that he was definitely not the opponent of Shan Shan Changjing, and immediately ordered his command to set up a formation to surround Shan County Changjing.
This is a small formation of 4 people, and it is one of the battle formations that all standing must be proficient in. Well...... To put it simply, it is just the technique of cooperation of four people, nothing too profound, but on the battlefield, it is the most practical formation. At the same time, there are also 2-person formations, 3-person formations, and even 10 or 20 people, and when Oda Yoshinobu first formulated a standing training plan, he hoped that Standing would be able to immediately form a battle formation of any number with the friendly forces around him under any circumstances. Because he knows very well that there is a world of difference between having a formation and not having a formation, and the combat effectiveness is absolutely different.
Seeing this, Yama County Changjing's nose was almost crooked, "Asahina Taichao, you are still a famous general of the Imagawa family, and you don't even have the courage to ride with me?!" Shan County Changjing scolded while resisting Qiben's attack. There is a very cliché unspoken rule in this era, that is, after two samurai meet, once they fight, the others cannot help. Well...... Maybe it was to take care of the samurai's self-esteem and so-called honor?
It's just that in this regard, Asahina Taichao just sneered, "As a general, you should focus on the overall situation!" What if you win? The most important thing for me right now is to get rid of the bunch of garbage you brought! ”
"Bastard!" Shan County Changjing scolded, but with the fight, he was secretly frightened, originally he didn't put the flag book in front of him in his eyes at all, but after so many rounds of fighting, he found that he really didn't have much to do about these flag books. Because these flag books are all under the idea of ending up together, how can Changjing, a county county, be willing to be taken away by such a small flag book? And Changjing of Shan County is not very good at swordsmanship, and he has learned on that spear all his life, but on this kind of city wall, how can a spear more than 3 meters long be used?
After a few more rounds of fighting, Yama Yama Masakai looked towards Binatai, but found that several ashigaru with iron cannons not far away were rushing towards him. Immediately, he swung out his sword violently and forced back the flag book beside him, "Asahinai Taichao, I remember you!" You seedless bastard! It's just like your Imagawa family! Shan County Changjing cursed, and then immediately climbed down from the city wall.
"Musketeers! Shoot! Seeing this, Asahinai immediately ordered, and then saw soldiers with muskets firing at the outside of the city walls. It's a pity that even if there is a firelight shining in the dark night, you can't see the appearance of the enemy clearly, the only thing to worry about is that there must be enemies outside the city, and you don't have to worry about accidental injuries at all.
On the other hand, after Yama Yama Masakei's departure, Takasaka Masanobu had been paying attention to the situation on the city wall, and after seeing Yama Shan Yama Masaki tumbling down from the city wall, although he was full of worry, he still immediately gave the order to withdraw.
It is as swift as the wind, which means that the troops should move as quickly as the wind.
After receiving the order of Takasaka Masanobu, the entire Red Reserve Corps immediately withdrew from Takatenjin City like the wind, and in less than a moment, it had already entered the dark night.
"I'm afraid that this kind of male soldier can only be compared to the Death God of Oda-sama, right?" Asahina Taichao sighed as he looked at the Red Reserve Corps that came and went like the wind, he originally thought that his standing reserve was already a very powerful force, but compared to the Red Reserve, it was still not a little worse.
"Hehe, if the Death God Sect was here, I'm afraid Chibei would have been killed and fled." Imagawa's voice sounded behind Asahina Taichao.
Hearing this, Asahina Taichao immediately turned around and knelt down in front of the Imagawa clan and said loudly, "My lord, my subordinates have insulted the reputation of my family just now, and I ask my lord to allow his subordinates to cut their stomachs!" ”
As he spoke, Asahina Taichao told the Imagawa clan what had just happened.
