Chapter 459: The Big Picture
Komaruyama.
Sakuma Nobumori's army of 4,000 finally collapsed under the courageous assault of the Mino people of Shima Katsu.
At the foot of the mountain, the Oda army was in a rout, and under the pursuit of the Takeda army like a tiger descending the mountain, they abandoned their armor and fled in all directions.
Seeing that the general trend was gone, Sakuma Nobumori finally gave up his resistance, and fled in embarrassment with the support of several close men.
The sight of the disastrous defeat of Sakuma Nobumori's team naturally alarmed the Oda army, which was located in Mt. Cha after Maruyama.
"Sakuma Nobumori's performance is really a shame for my Takeda Army!"
Under the banner of the golden three regiments, Takigawa Ichiyi said in a deep voice.
"Uncle, I think that idiot in Sakuma will not be able to save his life!"
The man, who was called Uncle Takigawa Kazuyi, was unusually tall and dressed in a strange way, carrying a vermilion lacquer spear on his shoulder.
Takigawa Kazuyi glanced at the strange man who called him his uncle.
The other party is known as the first wonder of the Warring States, and the unparalleled force of Maeda Keiji.
Originally, Keiji Maeda had always been in all directions, but this time Nagashino Hezhan obeyed his uncle's call and returned to Oda to participate in the war.
Of course, Takigawa Kazuyi also wants to borrow his bravery.
Takigawa Yiyi said: "Although Sakuma is incompetent, he can't see death without saving him, Keijiro, you lead three hundred horsemen, save him for me, and I will send a large army to support him!" ”
"Great!"
When Maeda Keiji heard the order to fight, he couldn't wait to step on the BMW Songfeng, and with a move of his red gun, he rode straight down the tea mountain.
He actually wanted to ride away alone, ignoring the cavalry behind him.
"This kid!"
Looking at the distant back of Keiji Maeda, Takigawa Ichiyi suddenly became angry, and then said to the envoy: "The Takeda army pursued Sakuma Nobumori, and the army was already in a position, immediately notify Migoro Zuo, and Ki Imori sent troops together to save Takigawa Ichiyi!" ”
"In addition, report to the lord about the battle situation here and ask for support!"
In order to rescue Sakuma Nobumori's team, with the order of Takigawa Kazuki, 6,000 troops of the Oda Army's North Road Defense Line were dispatched together.
Takigawa Kazuki, with the 300 cavalry of the fierce general Keiji Maeda as the lead, his own North Ise Army of 2,700 as the center, Niwa Nagahidesa and Yamanzu of 1,800 as the left flank, and Ikeda Hengxing of 1,200 as the right flank, put on a zigzag formation and went down the mountain to rescue Sakuma Nobumori.
And when I heard the news that Takigawa Kazuki had abandoned his fortified position and rescued Sakuma Nobumori's team.
When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he snorted and said, "It's better that Sakuma's waste is dead if it's dead, giving up the strong battle and going out to fight with the Takeda Army is not my pre-war plan!" ”
Thinking of this, Nobunaga said loudly: "Forget it, order the wise Mitsuhide team and the Yushiba Hideyoshi team deployed in the Kerakkuji Mountain to attack the rescue, cooperate with Takigawa Yiyi and them, and flank the flank of Li Xiao's army!" Li Xiao can't afford to lift anything! ”
Thinking of this, Nobunaga looked at the main battlefield to the south of Sè Rakuhara and said, "The offensive of the Takeda army has been exhausted, and I order Gonroku to lead the main army of 10,000 people of your family into the battlefield." This is about the glory of dominating the world, and it will be on your hands. ”
With Oda Nobunaga's order, Shibata Katsuie knelt on the ground, knowing that the decisive blow of the Oda army in the Nagashino battle was in his hands.
At 12 a.m., the fighting was at a fever pitch.
Just on the battlefield to the north, when the turning point just appeared, Li Xiao's army defeated Maruyama's Sakuma Nobumori team.
Other directions on the battlefield continued to favor the Takeda Army.
Without the support of the big tube, under the field fortifications of the Oda Army's three anti-horse fences, it was a solid position defended by inferior forces and attacking superior forces. …,
Despite the most resolute courage and the spirit of a Kai samurai, the Takeda Army was unable to break through the position of the Oda Army.
In the central battlefield, Takeda Nobuyo, Naito Masatyo, and Yasunaka Keishihiro were fighting with Oda Nobutada, Inaba Ischitetsu, Kawajiri Hidetaka, and Mizuno Nobumoto on the Shindoyama position, and they were in a stalemate.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties and piles of corpses, but they were still unable to move forward.
On the battlefield on the left flank, Yama Yama Changjing led the Red Reserve Army and launched more than nine assaults on Zhuguangkou.
Under the attack of the Red Reserve Army, defending Takehiroguchi, the Tokugawa family general Shiraku Sadamichi was seriously wounded, and the rest of his army was incorporated into the Honda Tadakatsu team.
Okubo Tadayo, who can be called the Tokugawa brave general, was wounded by the Okubo Tadasa, and most of his subordinates were killed in battle.
Tokugawa Ieashigaru General Tokai Toyogomori was captured by the Prefectural Army.
Although the Red Reserve Army fought very bravely, the Tokugawa army Honda Tadashi and Kamihara Yasumasa were both brave generals who were not inferior to Masaki Yamaprefecture, and the nine assaults of Masaki Prefecture were all defeated.
At present, more than half of the troops in Changjing, Shanxian County, have suffered casualties.
After the death of the general Kohata Kenshige in the battle, the general of the Takeda Left Wing Corps, Kohata Nobusada took over the command, and also suffered more than a third of the casualties.
The rest of the Koyamada Nobushige, Takeda Nobutoyo, and Ichichi Shinryu also suffered casualties.
The price they paid was that most of the Tokugawa Army's Takehiroguchi three anti-horse barriers were damaged, and even the Tokugawa Army's large cylinder team was also in the craziest attack of the Takeda Army, a suicide attack by a Shinlong team, which was detonated with fire, and more than a dozen samurai of the Takeda Army, together with the three mén large barrels and dozens of large barrels, went to the sky together in the explosion.
However, this time the Takeda Army almost broke through the attack of the Takehiroguchi position, but it was stopped by the reinforcements of Torii Tadamoto and Ishikawa Shumasa from Hachiken Mountain.
Torii Tadamoto, Ishikawa Shu was in the breakthrough, Takeda Army Yokota Yasukei, Ganli Nobuyasu team, successfully reinforced Takehiroguchi, Lingshan Prefecture Masakakei, a Shinryu their efforts, in the end fell short.
On Hachiken Mountain, the Osuka Yasutaka team and the Hondo team also successfully defended the attack of the Takeda Army's Central Army Xùe Yama Nobuyukin's team and the Hara Masain team.
As a member of the Takeda army's relatives, Nobuyoshi Xùe Yayama showed great strength in this attack, and with nearly three times the force, he stormed Yakenshan, but the Tokugawa army was easily repulsed.
By 12 o'clock, most of the Takeda army had entered the battlefield for nearly five hours, exhausted, and at this time, the Takeda army's offensive in all aspects had been frustrated, and morale was low for a while!
And at this moment, in the direction east of the Gokurakkuji Mountain on the battlefield, the main force of the Oda Army, which had not been dispatched, was moving at this time.
The wind howled.
In the center of the battlefield, the Oda Army's Yongle Tongbao banner, which towered like a forest into the sea, began to move.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, under the leadership of Shibata Katsuie, the Oda army even dispatched the mothers of the main camp.
The 10,000-strong Oda army attacked like a raging wave.
Its target is precisely the Central Army Corps in front of the Takeda Army!
The edifice will fall!
Four words are what the Takeda Army's Central Army is thinking at the moment.
An army of 10,000 Oda troops appeared from the position of Shindo Mountain, needless to say, it was like a banner erected in the primeval forest, and the black pressure covered the entire plain.
Suddenly, the earth began to tremble.
And a group of horseback regiments appeared from the Xintang Mountain, all of them carrying red and yellow sè coats behind them.
They were none other than the most sharp red-clothed mothers and black-clothed mothers of the Oda Army.
The Oda Army's mothers, who were heavily and well-dressed, looked down on the Takeda Army under the mountain with an indifferent look under the red and black headbands.
The Takeda Jun'an Zhongjing Fan team under the mountain only felt soft and dry in the mouth for a moment. …,
Suddenly, the Oda Army's mother-clothed horses neighed, and then the leader of the Mother's Clothes waved the sword, and the Oda Army's horseback samurai, condescending, launched a downhill assault!
The snow-bright sword was connected together, and the momentum of lightning speed, the Oda Army Mother Clothes who rushed forward only broke through the Takeda Army An Zhongjing Fan team in an instant.
The general of the Takeda Army, An Zhong Jingfan, didn't even have time to blink his eyes, and his head was hung next to one of the war horses of the mother's clothes.
With the appearance of the main army of the Oda Army, it was announced that the general offensive of the Oda Army had begun.
Anchu Keishi's team was only routed in a moment, while the infantry ashigaru was like a huge làng rolled up by a tsunami, charging at Naito Masatyo and Takeda Nobuyoshi in the Central Army.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the Tokugawa Army on the southern battlefield, personally went into battle and led the Mikawa Army to counterattack the left flank of the Takeda Army, while on the northern battlefield, Takigawa Kazuyi, Niwa Nagahide, Ikeda Tsuneko, Hashiba Hideyoshi, and Akechi Mitsuhide also attacked the Takeda Army's Li Xiao Army!
The intention of both armies was to hold back the left and right flanks of the Takeda Army and prevent them from supporting the Central Army.
In order to give the main force of the Oda Army and break the Takeda Army Central Army to gain time.
As soon as the central army of the Takeda Army is broken, then the overall situation of this battle has been decided.
Nobuyoshi Xùeyama, who had just retreated from the Tokugawa Army position at Mt. Hachiken, was waiting to see the main force of the Oda Army of 10,000 and attack the Central Army.
At the moment, he was so frightened that his heart and gall were split, and he didn't even hesitate for a moment, and immediately abandoned the two teams of Naito Masathiro and Takeda Nobuyo, led 1,200 troops, and took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield from the front position and escaping.
Only the original Changyin team, despite the fact that there were only 300 remnants, moved closer to Naito Masathiro and Takeda Shinren of the Central Army, and risked death to come to help.
Now Naito Masatoyo and Takeda Nobuyo's two teams have just attacked the Oda Army's position on Shindoyama, and they have paid a huge price and are exhausted.
At the moment, facing the new force of the Oda Army, the two generals of the Takeda Army both looked at death as if they were at home.
"I didn't expect that I, Naito, was going to die here, and it was my honor to die with Xiaoyaoxuan!" Naito said.
Takeda Shinren smiled, with a white beard, and said: "It's nothing to die in battle, but it's a pity that my famous painting is only half made, and it seems that it can't be passed on to the world." ”
After that, Naito Masatoyo dismounted and struck the back of the war horse with the back of his sword, and the war horse was in pain and galloped.
Seeing his horse gone, Naito Masatoyo sighed: "Run for your life, don't die here with me." ”
Takeda Nobuyoru also let the horses go, and also expressed to the army that they were determined to die here and abandon them to flee for their lives.
Then Naito Masatoyo and Takeda Nobuyoshi shook each other's hands, smiled at each other's faces, and then looked at the Oda Army who was leaning towards him.
