Chapter 406: Support
The sunset on the tripartite plain was like blood.
The smell of the corpse is disgusting, and Takeda Shingen, who has seen the scene of the blood sea of corpses for a long time, and the Takeda family will have long been accustomed to this.
In the decisive battle not long ago, although Tokugawa Ieyasu set up a twelve-stage crane wing formation to meet the battle, because the Tokugawa army adopted the banner first military system.
The Tokuori coalition forces on the original battlefield of the three parties were composed of the Banner Clans led by Ieyasu himself, the Nishi-Mikawa Sect led by Ishikawa Shumasa, the Higashi-Mikawa Sect under Sakai Tadaji, the newly attached Toe Clan, and the Oda Se.
With 11,000 troops, the German Weaving coalition faced the 27,000 troops of Kai.
At the beginning of the battle, the powerful corps of the Takeda Army of the Three Roads of Baba, Yamagu, and Katsurai launched an attack on the Tokuori coalition army first.
The Samurai of Mikawa tried their best to resist the attack of the Kai Legion, but they did not fight well, and although they were outnumbered, they did not fall behind.
Although at the beginning of the battle, the Tokuori coalition army's twelve-dan crane wing formation, the Ogasawara clan helped the team, and the Nakane Masasho team was repulsed.
The desperate counterattack of Sakai Tadaji, the head of the Danshi Higashi Mikawa banner, almost defeated the Akabi Army of Yama Prefecture Masakai of the Takeda First Army.
The combat power of the Three Rivers Samurai shocked the Takeda Legion for a while!
At the moment when the Red Reserve Army was in danger, Takeda Katsuyori came to reinforce the army, and personally raised a spear array and beheaded several people, only to save the crisis of the Yama County Army.
Seeing that Yamaprefecture, Katsuyori was unable to break the main Tokugawa force.
Immediately Takeda Shingen invested the main force, Tsuchiya Shoji, Sanada Nobutsuna, Naito Masato, Anayama Umeyuki, Takeda Nobutoyo, Kohata Nobutada, Tracebe Katsushi, Takasaka Masanobu, and the Hojo Army entered the battlefield one after another.
The entire Takeda Army formed a fish-scale formation and launched an attack on the Toku-weaving coalition forces in echelons.
The investment of Takeda's entire army made it possible to overwhelm the Tokuori coalition forces in terms of military superiority.
First of all, the 3,000 reinforcements of the Oda family were defeated, and then the rout spread to the entire Tokuori coalition army, and the Nishi-Mikawa people were defeated, and the Tokugawa Ieyasu banners were also defeated, and the Higashi-Mikawa people fought and retreated under the leadership of Sakai Tadaji, and even maintained their formation and retreated to Hamamatsu Castle.
After more than two hours of fighting the triparta, the Tokugawa army finally fell into a general collapse.
In order to cover Tokugawa Ieyasu's escape, the Mikawa samurai, known as the "Goke Dog", protected the lord and retreated regardless of life and death.
The retainer saw that Natsume Yoshinobu Ieyasu was short of horses, so he handed over his horse to Ieyasu, and his palace was killed in battle.
And Natsume Yoshinobu was in trouble with the lord as a party when he was in Mikawa and Ichigo before, but this battle died on behalf of Ieyasu.
And another retainer, Kuzaburo Suzuki, snatched Ieyasu and died in battle by pretending to be Ieyasu.
In this battle, the German-woven coalition army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, while the Takeda army suffered only more than 200 casualties.
In the Battle of Mikatahara, the Tokugawa army can be described as a crushing defeat.
In addition to Natsume Yoshinobu and Suzuki Kuzaburo, two powerful retainers, Shiro Torii Saemon and Naruse Fujizo, were killed in battle, and they were resolutely opposed to Tokugawa Ieyasu going out of the castle to pursue the Takeda army.
The former defenders of Futama Castle, Masazhao Nakane and Sadaharu Aoki also died in battle to wash away the shame of giving up Futama Castle.
The Tokugawa army also had Naruse Yoshichi Right Guard, Hisakabu Soldier Right Emon, Oguri Tadazo, Shimada Jibei, and other generals who died in battle.
The Oda army also suffered a lot of losses, the general Hitehide Maeda Toshiie's brother, Saribyo was killed in the battle, and the famous samurai Hasegawa Hashisuke, Yazaburo Kato, and Mamoru Yamaguchi Hida were all killed in battle.
Takeda Shingen sat on the battlefield for a long time, and seemed to feel a little tired, so he got off his shoulder with the support of the side.
The generals looked at Takeda Shingen like this, and they all showed a little sadness, Takeda Shingen, who used to ride a war horse and gallop on the battlefield, is now suffering from illness, and even needs someone to support him on his shoulder.
Takeda Shingen found a stone in the open space and sat down, took his saber from the little surname with both hands, and stabbed the ground with both hands. …,
From the outside, Xinxuan's face is ruddy, and he seems to have a good complexion, everyone knows that this is due to the excitement after the big victory, and Xinxuan's face is very pale on weekdays.
But even so, Shingen's vest is still straight, showing the demeanor of a samurai.
The generals sat in a circle around Shin Xuan.
Takeda Shingen glanced left and right, and said, "Yamagu, Katsuri are they still chasing Tokugawa's army?" ”
"Yes, my lord, I guess I have chased him to Hamamatsu Castle now." Shoji Tsuchiya reported to Takeda Shingen.
Takeda Shingen nodded and said, "If there is a chance, Xiwang and they can take the opportunity to capture Hamamatsu Castle, completely wipe out the Tokugawa family, and solve the big trouble in my heart." ”
Faced with Takeda Shingen's decision, Oyamada Nobushige, who was in the county, asked: "My lord, it is not often said that if you win a battle by five points, Tokugawa Ieyasu has suffered a crushing defeat at the moment, and it is impossible to pose a danger to our army from now on, and our army can take advantage of this great victory to march and go to Luoluo in one fell swoop." ”
Takeda Shingen shook his head and said: "Winning or losing for a while is nothing, you must fight for the long term, Tokugawa Ieyasu is a fierce opponent, you must not be underestimated." Katsuyori is not here now, and you must convey Danshi's words to him. ”
Takeda Shingen's words, the crowd listened to a little strange, firstly, why Shingen valued the defeated general Tokugawa Ieyasu so much, and secondly, Shingen could personally tell Katsuyori why they wanted to tell them.
Machang Xinfang suddenly asked aloud: "Lord, your body is fine, has the continuous battles affected your health?" ”
As soon as the voice of the racecourse letter room came out, all the generals showed concerned looks.
Takeda Shingen turned his head to look at everyone, half-stood up, and said with a smile: "Why am I like a seriously ill old man?" ”
The generals listened to Xuan's rhetorical question, but they showed puzzled looks.
Naito Masatoyo said: "My lord, the army is conquering Shangluo, and we are not in a hurry, and the health of the lord is what we are most concerned about." ”
"Yes, as long as the lord is here, when we go to Luo, we can succeed, if the lord is ......, don't be in a hurry, temporarily recuperate, and when he is healthy, he will do the things of Shangluo."
Takeda Shingen turned his head and glanced at the generals, seeing that everyone was puzzled, obviously doubting his health.
Baba Nobubo, Naito Masatoyo and Naito both asked earnestly: "Lord, how is your health, please tell the truth, don't let us worry anymore." ”
Takeda Shingen looked at everyone's expressions, suddenly laughed, stroked his beard, and said: "Everyone, if I tell you that I Shingen is not sick at all, then it is obvious that this dignified Takeda family governor is lying to you. ”
When all the retainers heard Xinxuan's witty words, they all smiled.
"Thank you for your concern, in fact, I do have a little bit of a problem, but it is a problem for some people in their fifties. I'm fine, and nothing can be a reason to hinder my family's Shangluo. So please don't worry, got it? ”
Takeda Shingen's words suddenly made all the retainers suspicious, and they bowed down with a bang.
At the moment when the retainers bowed down, no one noticed that Xin Xuan touched his chest with one hand, and a trace of pain twisted on his face.
