Kawanakajima, Takeda's military wife and daughter Yamamoto Jin.

Katsuyori Takeda sat on top of the mazar with his military equipment in his hand.

The noise on the battlefield continued.

Jinma Commander Hara Masain knelt on the ground and reported the battle situation to Takeda Katsuyori, saying: "From the fierce battle in the morning to the present, the three reserve units of our army's Central Horse Farm Civil Division, Takeda Nori, Hara and Saemon Teams, and Ichikawa Meiyin Team have all been defeated, and they have suffered heavy casualties and can no longer fight, among which Naganuma Castle Lord Hara and Saemon were killed in battle. ”

"And now in the Central Army, nearly one-third of the casualties of the Hoshira Bullet Brigade, and the Suwa people are also difficult to support, the former head of the Suwa family, the Suwa Manchu, was also injured by the Uesugi Army's iron artillery, and the main reserve of the Baba Civil Department and the Takeda Criminal Department is also a lot of casualties. The reinforcements of the Takasaka Dansho Army on the right flank also repelled the Uesugi Army for the second time. ”

Hearing this, Takeda Katsuyori said, "I understand. ”

Yuan Changyin hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, according to the current battle situation, it is impossible for the Racecourse Civil Department to support it for a long time, according to the opinion of His Majesty, reinforcements should be sent quickly." ”

Takeda Katsuyori frowned but did not speak.

Yuan Changyin saw that Takeda Katsuyori did not react, his heart was cold, and he secretly thought, I heard that His Royal Highness Katsuyori has been at odds with the Yama Prefecture, Baba, Naito and other lords and ministers, but now he is not sending to rescue the Baba Legion, does he want to deliberately let the Baba Civil Department die here?

Yuan Changyin thought of this, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

However, upholding the integrity of the martial arts, Yuan Changyin did not retreat because of Takeda Katsuyori's silence.

Yuan Changyin said again: "Your Excellency once again imploes Your Highness to send reinforcements to rescue Lord Race. ”

After speaking, Yuan Changyin knelt straight in front of Takeda Katsuyori.

In the face of Hara Masayin's request, the soles of Takeda Katsuyori's feet moved slightly, and at this time, Takeda Ie's Ashigaru General Tsuchiya Shoji and Mieda Mamoru also got up from the maza and said to Takeda Katsuyori: "I implore Your Highness to immediately send troops to rescue Lord Baba." ”

Takeda Katsuyori stood up from the maza, walked slowly a few steps, and suddenly turned to a certain body, but asked, "Lord Baba, can you send someone to this camp to ask for reinforcements?" ”

Yuan Changyin replied: "No." ”

Takeda Katsuyori said: "If not, it means that Lord Baba can continue to support him, and there is no need to be so anxious." ”

Yuan Changyin heard Takeda Katsuyori say this, and hurriedly said: "Lord Baba's 'temperament' has always been stubborn, and it is likely that the whole army will be destroyed, and he will not send people for help, and choose to fight to the death, so please be considerate of Lord Baba." ”

As soon as Yuan Changyin's words fell, he suddenly rode an envoy with a hundred-legged centipede small flag and galloped up to his wife and daughter's mountain camp.

The envoy knelt down in front of Takeda Katsuyori and said, "Your Highness, Lord Baba asked me to spread the word to His Highness. ”

I heard that the Baba Shinbo had something to say, and all the generals of the Takeda Army on the left and right of Katsuyori stood up from the Maza and "revealed" their concerned looks.

"What?" Katsuyori Takeda asked rhetorically.

The envoy said: "Lord Baba said that the current battle situation of the Central Army is dying, but please Your Highness not take care of it, and everything is important to the overall situation." Lord Baba, said that he swore to the death of the lord, and His Royal Highness to defend the central front. ”

When the generals heard this, they thought that the Baba Nobubo had rejected the possibility of Takeda Katsuyori sending troops to rescue, and they wanted to fight the wheel warfare of the Uesugi army with their own strength.

The generals seemed to see the Machang letter room say this, and they were impassioned, and their hearts were full of compassion.

Just when the generals were silent, Takeda Katsuyori suddenly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have made up my mind not to rescue the Shinano army of Lord Baba. ”

Speaking of this, Takeda Katsuyori pointed his finger at the Uesugi family's military momentum that was spinning like wheels on the battlefield, and his eyes were "revealed" with a decisive "color", and said: "Everyone, I will lead the army of this camp out of the battle, and how about taking Uesugi Kenshin directly to your wishes?" ”

Hearing Takeda Katsuyori's words, the old man of Takeda's house, Yamada Nobushige, immediately said: "Your Highness thinks twice, this move is too risky, and our army still guards the front and comes safely." ”

Takeda Katsuyori said: "Everyone, do you think that if you hold the line, you can be undefeated? Guys are wrong, that's exactly what Kenshin Uesugi wants us to do? You see, Uesugi Kenshin's chariot suspension formation is the strongest attack formation, and we can't mean to defend it. ”…,

"Is it effective to take the enemy's own position directly?"

"Not necessarily," Takeda Katsuyori simply said bluntly: "It's like a person throwing a spear horizontally, everyone who uses a gun knows that in the gun, people are the axis, and the tip of the gun is far away to hurt people." If our army blindly defends, it is equivalent to using ribs to fight with Uesugi Kenshin's spear from a long distance, and the opponent is invincible, and we can only blindly defend. ”

"Therefore, in order to break this formation, just as the rib difference wants to win the spear, it is necessary to break the edge of the opponent's spear, bully Uesugi Kenshin's main formation, and attack its axis, and once its axis is broken, the car suspension formation is also broken."

The generals listened to Takeda Katsuyori's analysis, and they were all impressed by it.

Takeda Katsuyori said in one sentence, the advantages and disadvantages of the car suspension array, this terrifying insight, made everyone seem to see the shadow of Takeda Shingen in him.

Takeda Katsuyori said: "However, Uesugi Kenshin is not an easy general, and he will not let us succeed easily, so I may not be sure of victory." ”

After Takeda Katsuyori finished speaking, Yuan Changyin laughed and said: "Your Highness, where is there a battle that must be won on the battlefield, if there is a chance of winning thirty percent, it is enough to try." ”

After Yuan Changyin finished speaking, Nobushige Koyamada and Nobuyojun Yamayama pondered for a while, and said in unison: "For today's plan, this is also a way out of the way, and we are willing to accompany His Highness to the soup." ”

As soon as Nobushige Koyamada and Nobuyojun Yayama expressed their position, all the retainers of Takeda expressed their words together, saying, "I am willing to fight to the death with His Highness." ”

Takeda Katsuyori nodded and said, "Very good, since you all trust my judgment, then Katsuyori can only repay with victory, and he will not fail Lord Baba, who is fighting to the death." ”

General Takeda Katsuyori waved and said, "Pass the order, and the army of this camp will go out."

Fierce battles are raging on the battlefield.

At this time, the officers and men of the two armies of Takeda and Uesugi were fighting, and they all heard the earth-shaking drumming of Mt. Tsumizu and the Takeda Army's main formation.

This is the sound of Suwa taiko drums

At the same time, the banner of Suwa Damyojin on Mt. Wife and Daughter moved

The Takeda army marched out with 7,000 troops.

The Takeda Army's main formation has been gathering momentum for a long time, sweeping down the mountain like a red "tide", and it is unstoppable.

The first to bear the brunt is the Uesugi Army's Yasuda Keimotobu.

The front of this army is the team of Nobushige Oyamada, the lord of the county.

Before the battle, the front team of the Koyamada army threw the stone team, and first threw the Yasuda Keiyuan team with stones.

After that, the Kawachi people led by Nobuyoshi Yama and the Wuchuan people led by Ichichi Shinlong in the Takeda army were outflanked from the left and right flanks and attacked from three sides.

Yasuda Keigen's team held out for a moment before being routed from the front by the Takeda army.

Fortunately, the Nakajo Jingzi team came to help, resisted the offensive of the Takeda army to the death, and saved the Yasuda Jingyuan team, otherwise the opponent would have died on the battlefield.

At that moment, Takeda Katsuyori's army waved, and the Kai Legion attacked the location of Uesugi Kenshin's main camp.

Uesugi Kenshin Honjin.

"My lord, Takeda Shiro Katsuyori personally led the Kai Legion out of the battle and attacked our army's main formation."

Monomi said to Kenshin Uesugi.

Uesugi Kenshin rode his horse, looked at the Takeda family's army coming straight to the main formation, his expression was faint, he waved his hand, and said, "I already know. ”

Seeing that Uesugi Kenshin was facing the attack of the Takeda family's army, not only did he not react at all, but he looked at the wind forest volcano flag of the Takeda army's wife and daughter mountain.

Kamishi Jingsheng didn't know why, and said worriedly: "Father, the Takeda army has a large number of troops, and its Kai people are all samurai groups that have followed Shingen for many years, and their combat power is quite terrifying, and besides, Yasuda-sama's reserve has just been broken, so we should deal with it carefully." ”

Uesugi Kenshin smiled slightly, turned his gaze from his wife and daughter mountain, and said to Jingsheng, "Jingsheng, don't you think there is something wrong with the performance of the Takeda Army today?" ”。

Jingsheng was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "What's wrong?" ”

Uesugi Kenshin did not directly answer Kamishi Keikatsu, but turned his head to Uesugi Keishin, and said: "Feng Mamoru Feng, you participated in the last battle of Kawanakajima, do you think the current Takeda Army, what is the difference between the last battle?" ”

When Uesugi Jingxin heard this, he thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know, please ask the lord to speak clearly." ”…,

Uesugi Kenshin shook his head, "revealed" a disappointed look, and said, "If Usami and Naoe are here, they will definitely understand what I mean." It's a pity they're all gone. ”

Speaking of this, Uesugi Kenshin pointed his horsewhip at Mt. Wife and Daughter, and said, "The last time Kawanakajima was fought, I attacked Shingen's 8,000 army with an army of 13,000. Although Shingen had few soldiers, the officers and men of the Takeda Army were tenacious and durable, and almost all of his soldiers fought to the last moment, and fought to the death, so that I had the upper hand, but I was never able to win, and finally had to retreat. ”

"But this time, the Takeda Army has the advantage in strength and is in a favorable position on the defensive, but the battle situation is going on at this moment, and everyone can see that the performance of the Takeda Army is greatly inferior to the past. Although the car suspension array is powerful, I don't believe that Shingen will have no way to deal with it. ”

Uesugi Keishinobu didn't know why, and asked, "My lord, do you mean that Shingen is not in the army?" ”

Uesugi Kenshin shook his head and said, "I don't know this, Shingen's battle has been greatly disappointed by the level of the past. It's only now that we're attacking, it's too late for our army's home formation, and we've missed the opportunity. ”

Speaking of this, Uesugi Kenshin pointed his horsewhip at the army of the Takeda Army's main camp, and said loudly: "Order the Kanyakei team, the Honjo Honjo Buncho team, and the Saito Asanobu three teams to give up the attack on the left flank of the Takeda army and join me in attacking Takeda Katsuyori." ”

"Oh"

After Uesugi Kenshin gave the order, the three envoys of the Uesugi army hurriedly mounted their horses and galloped away.

The fierce battle on Kawanakajima lasted until 2 p.m., when Takeda Katsuyori personally led the army of the Takeda army, preparing to use the tactics of king against king, and fought a decisive battle with the army of Uesugi Kenshin.

Uesugi Kenshin ordered Gan Yajing to lead the team, Honjo Fanchang team, and Saito Asanobu three teams to return to the main camp.
