Chapter 462: One Hour

On Maruyama, the 5,000-strong army of Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi's team appeared, which made the battle situation unfavorable to Li Xiao.

These two people are both famous generals of the Oda Army, and they saw through the weakness of Li Xiao's position at a glance, and decided to defeat Li Xiao's weak side first.

On Maruyama, the Mino people of Shimakatsu fought all morning to defeat Sakuma Nobumori, and the soldiers not only paid a certain number of casualties, but also fatigue.

And Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi were here and seized the opportunity to attack.

Akechi Mitsuhide's Army, after attracting most of the attention of Shimakatsu Takeshi from a frontal attack, then covered the implementation of the team led by Hideyoshi Hashiba, and the frontal detour was quite risky.

Attacked by Akechi Mitsuhide from the front, Shima Katsutoshi was unable to flank the North Omi Army of Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was detouring his weak side.

Hashiba Hideyoshi's adventure was successful, and the most elite yellow-clothed mothers under his command were the leaders, Fukushima Masanori, Kato Kiyomasa, Wasaka Yasuji, and Kato Yoshiaki, the lowly four-bar spear worked together to directly break through the Higashi Tsuneyao team on Maruyama.

At this point, the Kita-Omi Army opened a gap in the Mino position, and then Hashiba Hideyoshi himself went out on horseback, and when his horse print mille-feuille ladyboard appeared on Maruyama, encouraged by this, the Akechi Mitsuhide Oda army cheered and cheered, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

Hashiba Hideyoshi's subordinates Koroku Beesuka, Jijun Miyabe, Naobo Higuchi, Asano Nagamasa, Horio Yoshiharu, Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and Nakamura Kazuji each led their own teams, and went crazy and generally attacked the Takeda Army's Maruyama position from this side.

The Mino people were defeated at the moment, and Shimakatsu and Higashitsune, the lord of Hachiman Castle in Riki County, were killed on the spot.

Returned behind by Hashiba Hideyoshi, under the two-sided attack of Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi, the two Oda family king-level generals, they defeated Li Xiao's Mino people in less than an hour.

Shima Katsu led the army to cover the rear of the large barrel preparation hall. fought and retreated, and finally managed to keep the big tube prepared.

However, Rui Costa's large barrel was saved, but all the ammunition in the large barrel fell on Maruyama.

There were cannons but no ammunition, and Rui Costa's large barrel equipment completed this mission in the Battle of Nagashino ahead of schedule.

But Li Xiao's four standing preparations were defeated. Takigawa Kazuki, Sakuma Nobumori's army of nearly 10,000 Oda, when they turned back to reinforce Maruyama, it was too late.

Not only was the Mino of Li Xiao's army completely defeated by Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi's team, but it also led to the loss of the Maruyama position on the rear road of Li Xiao's army.

The battle of Nagashino lasted until 2 p.m. Li Xiao's corps, which had already swept through the northern defense line of the Oda army, turned back and stormed Maruyama in order to seize the access to reinforcements to the central corps.

Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi fought to the death.

However, compared with the Central Army of the Takeda Army, the difficulty of Li Xiao's right-wing army can only be regarded as a minor trouble.

Immediately Shibata Katsuie reorganized the attack, and an hour after the death of Naito Masatoyo, the battle situation of the Central Army. It has deteriorated to the point where it can no longer deteriorate.

At the beginning, Naito Masato, that desperate counterattack. Just a little delay, the offensive of the main army of the Oda army.

Without breaking the light rule, Oda Nobutada's team was disabled and lost its combat effectiveness. He retreated to the second line to recuperate, but the Omi daimyo Gamo clan regrouped and led his army to join the attack on the central front of the Takeda Army.

Now on the central battlefield, the onslaught of the Oda army is rising higher and higher.

Sasa Naimasa, Maeda Toshiie, Naomasa Tsukasa. Inaba one iron. Hidetaka Kawajiri, Mamoru Ando. The clan Zhichang has all the teams and exerts their full strength.

And at this time, the elite of the Oda army, the red-clothed mothers, and the black-clothed mothers also entered the battlefield and launched a fierce attack on the Takeda army.

Although there were not many of the Oda family's brave generals such as Sasa Narumasa, Kawajiri Hidetaka, Maeda Toshiie, and Naomasa Tsukasa, they were extremely brave and skillful in archers and horses, which brought great casualties to the Takeda army that was defending in a strong position. …,

In the face of the onslaught of the 14,000-strong army of the Oda Army, the support corps of the Baba Nobubo did their best.

At the moment of arrival at the Baba Shinbo, the news of Li Xiao's army defeating the Oda Army's defense line on the north road had spread throughout the Takeda Army.

The only chance to win this battle lies in Li Xiao's army.

This is the consensus of all the generals of the Takeda Army now.

Everyone understood that the only chance to win in this battle was for Li Xiao's army to break through the interception of the two king-level generals of Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi Oda Army and reinforce the Central Army.

And before Li Xiao's army broke through the obstacles, the central army must hold the line and not let Oda's main army defeat.

The two sides are competing for time.

The Central Army put all its hopes on Li Xiao's defeat of Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi.

And the two of them, Wise Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi, who fought hard against Li Xiao's four standing stands, also hoped that Shibata Katsuya could lead the main force and defeat the Takeda Army's Central Army first.

Sanada Masayuki's two brothers, Sanada Nobutsuna and Sanada Masaaki, led 700 Sanada family soldiers to defend the left flank of Takeda Nobuyo's team.

The Takeda Nobuyoshi team joined the remnants of Naito Masato's team and resisted the onslaught of nearly 3,000 troops from the Gamo clan and Inaba Ichitetsu, who had re-entered the battle.

The main team of the Racecourse Nobubo used the battle method of the king against the king, and faced the Shibata Katsuya team.

Both of them were well-known generals in the Takeda Oda Army, and they were famous, and the two sides met each other for a while, and the battle was evenly matched.

Hara Masain, who was covering the right flank of the Baba Nobubo, fought against Nomura Masanari, the general of the Oda Army, and Mizuno Nobuno, who had been disabled once before, with 300 remnants of troops, and the onslaught of the two teams was very difficult.

However, the most dangerous situation was the Tsuchiya Shoji team located at the rear of the corps, and his 400 men were besieged by Maeda Toshiie, Kawajiri Hidetaka, Sasa Naimasa, Shike Naomasa, and Fukutomi Hidekatsu with 4,000 troops and 10 times the strength of the troops.

This is also Shibata Katsuie's tactics, first use troops to drag down the various units of the Takeda Army, and then use superior forces to storm the weak side of the Takeda Army.

Tsuchiya Shoji was the target chosen by Shibata Katsuie, and Shibata Katsuya mobilized ten times the absolute superiority of the force, that is, to defeat Tsuchiya Shoji first.

All units of the Takeda Army were in a bitter battle, and they were unable to rescue Tsuchiya Shoji for a while.

Baba Nobubo was about to mobilize his troops to move closer to Tsuchiya Masaji's team, but was desperately blocked by Shibata Katsuie.

As a close student from Takeda Shingen's side, Tsuchiya Shoji is a confidant of the Takeda family, and this battle is a matter of Takeda's luck, although facing more than ten times the siege of troops, he has long put life and death on the line, and will not retreat.

After nearly half an hour of fierce attack by the five teams of Maeda Toshiie, Kawajiri Hidetaka, Sasa Naomasa, and Fukutomi Hidekatsu, Tsuchiya Shoji finally fought to his death after taking the Oda family's seven horsemen.

All 400 people under Tsuchiya Shoji were killed.

After the annihilation of Tsuchiya Masaji's team, Maeda Toshiie, Kawajiri Hidetaka, Sasa Naimasa, Shike Naomasa, and Fukutomi Hidekatsu's 5th team of 4,000 troops attacked the Sanada family's Sanada Nobutsuna and Sanada Masaaki teams.

Ando Shou, Naomasa Tsukami's two teams of nearly 3,000 combat power, are pressing the Sanada brothers, a fierce attack, and now with the addition of the five teams of Maeda Toshiya, the Sanada army immediately collapsed.

Sanada Nobutsuna and Sanada Masaaki died in battle!

After Kohata Kenshige and Naito Masatyo, Tsuchiya Shoji, Sanada Nobutsuna, Sanada Masaaki and other generals of the Takeda family died one after another in front of the Oda army.

And many of the generals of the Oda Tokugawa family also fell in this battle.

This battle of Nagashino has become the heroic soul of the samurai, not only the generals, but also the casualties of the armies on both sides have exceeded 10,000 people.

Since the samurai took charge of the world, there has never been a bloody battle that has been so tragic. …,

The two armies fought hard for seven hours, and each other was evenly matched.

With 20,000 men, the Takeda Army was able to defeat the superior strength of Oda Tokugawa with 35,000 troops, and was worthy of the name of Kai samurai.

However, the fortune of the Takeda family will also end here, with the collapse of Sanada and Tsuchiya, the collapse of the central army of the Takeda army is almost irreversible.

Now Maeda Toshiie, Kawajiri Hidetaka, Sasa Naimasa, Shike Naomasa, Fukutomi Hidekatsu five teams, plus Ando Mori and Naomasa Tsukasa Tsukasa two teams, a total of 7,000 people, are ready to assist Shibata Katsuie's main team and join the attack on the Baba Nobubo team.

Shibata Katsuie's tactics that were broken by each of them have been effective.

Everyone knows that under such an offensive, the racecourse letter house is absolutely lonely.

Baba Nobubo is the pillar of the Central Army at this moment, and if he falls, the Central Army of the Takeda Army will be destroyed, and then the Takeda Army will also end in defeat in this Nagashino battle.

In the middle of the battlefield, in the face of the gathered army of the Oda family, Baba Nobubo took off his head pocket, revealing his white hair, and after taking a deep breath, he glanced at Li Xiao's army who was fighting hard with Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi.

The guns and cannons over there rang out in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and it was obvious that it was the most critical moment of the decisive battle.

Although he did not go to the front line in person, with the experience of the racecourse letter room, Li Xiao's army had an advantage.

"Li Xiao, I didn't expect that in the end of this battle, the one we relied on to save the martial arts fortune of the Takeda family would be you, an outsider from the Genji clan, but at this moment, I don't care what my background is, everything is left to Your Excellency."

The head of the racecourse shinbo sighed, put his eyes back on the battlefield in front of him, and muttered: "My racecourse nobubo is over half a hundred years old, if this battle can save me Takeda, what is the point of dying on the battlefield!" ”

The heart of the racecourse letter is full of life and death.

Just when the Oda Army decided to attack the Baba Nobubo team.

They suddenly discovered that a Takeda army was flanking his flank.

The entire Oda army was stunned at this moment, if on this occasion, any new force of the Takeda army joined the battlefield, then it would be a situation of both sides of the situation.

Immediately, they saw the flag seal of the Takeda Army that had come to attack.

It is a white petal bellflower pattern on a black background,

It was the banner of the Takeda family's general, Yama Prefecture Masakei.

Perceiving the critical situation of the Central Army, Yamaprefecture Masakakei, the general of the Left Wing Army of the Takeda Army, led the Red Reserve Army, which had suffered more than half of the casualties, to defeat the Tokugawa Army's Honda Tadakatsu, and the resistance of the Kanhara Yasumasa Army came to the aid of the Central Army.
