Chapter 454: Crossing the River and Assault

Against Oda's defensive line, 20,000 Takeda troops lined up such an attack lineup-

The right flank corps is Li Xiao's Hida Echichu Corps with 8,000 troops, and will face the Oda army's Chaji Mountain head-on.

Corresponding to the Chajiyama side were the Oda army Nobumori Sakuma, Ikeda Tsuneko, Niwa Nagahide, and Takigawa Kazuyoshi, four famous generals, and the 10,000 Oda troops stationed there.

The Central Army of the Takeda Army was a total of 4,000 troops including Nobuyoshi Anayama, Nobuyoshi Takeda, Masathiro Naito, Keihiro Anaka, Nobuyojun Anayama, and Masain Hara.

They faced Shindoyama, Midoyama, Oda Nobutada, Kitabatake Nobuo, Inaba Ittetsu Army, and Tokugawa Army, Torii Tadamoto, Osuka Yasutaka, Hondo Suma, and Ishikawa Shumasa guarding Hachikenzan.

The purpose of the Central Army was to wedge in, the junction of the Tokugawa-Oda Army.

On the right flank, the central corps was only aimed at pinning down, the strength of the Oda army.

In this battle, the main target of the Takeda Army was on the left flank.

The reason is simple, in the entire Tokugawa Oda defense line on the Shorakuhara, nearly 30,000 Oda troops are responsible for no more than three-fifths of the area.

The Tokugawa Army, which had less than 8,000 men, was in charge of the rest of the region.

Judging from the strength of the formation, it is very obvious that the Tokugawa side is weak.

Therefore, at the meeting of the Takeda Army, the generals unanimously decided to deploy the strongest forces of the Takeda Army here.

Its strategic goal was to use the superior forces on the left flank to outflank the main force of the Oda Army after breaking through the positions of the Tokugawa Army.

The composition of the left flank attack corps of the Takeda Army can be called a luxurious lineup in the Takeda Army.

The Red Reserve Army, the first strong army of Takeda, led by Yama Yama Masaka, served as a formation for the attack. update

The people in Oyamada Nobushimo, for the second battle.

Kohata Kenshige, Kohata Nobutaha father and son's Kohata Akabei, for the third battle.

Takeda Nobutoyo, for the fourth array.

A letter dragon of the Wuchuan people, for the five arrays.

Yokota Yasuke, and Ganli Nobuyasu are the guerrillas.

These seven teams have a total of nearly 5,000 people, and most of them are the elite of the Takeda army.

The left flank corps was directed at Takehiroguchi on the Tokugawa position, and the Tokugawa Ieyasu main camp behind it.

The target of his attack is to take Tokugawa Ieyasu directly and seal his throat with a sword!

In the previous military meeting, the right wing corps was originally formed by Baba Nobubo, Anayama Nobujun, Sanada Nobutsuna, Sanada Masataki, Tsuchiya Masaji, and a Nobutura to attack the Oda Army's Chajiyama defense line.

And because Li Xiao's army participated in the war.

Originally, the task of the right wing corps of the Baba Nobubo was cancelled, and the Anayama Nobujun team and the Ichijo Shinlong team were sent to strengthen the central corps and the left flank corps.

And the Baba Nobubo, Sanada Nobutsuna, Sanada Masatei, and Tsuchiya Shoji should be deployed behind the Yamaguchi Shokei Left Wing Corps in the form of support corps.

In the end, Takeda Katsuyori, Nobunaga Mochizuki, Takeda Nobuyomo, Takeda Nobumitsu, Katsushi Trace, and Mitsuken Nagasaka served as the general reserve and set up the main camp at Mt. Tenno.

As soon as the morning came.

Takeda Katsuyori's military matching!

The earth-shattering war drums beat on Tianwang Mountain.

The 20,000 Takeda army roared in unison and slaughtered the Oda Tokugawa position.

In the Battle of Nagashino, the formation of the Takeda Army was the Crane Wing Formation, which was the formation of Takeda Shingen in the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima that year, with a weak position to meet Uesugi Kenshin.

But in this battle, the Takeda Army decided to use the strongest Li Xiao Corps on the left and right flanks and the Yama County Corps to break through the position of the Oda Army and finally outflank it.

As soon as the battle began, Li Xiao's army launched an attack on the Oda army on Mt. Chaji with the fierce Mino.

Shimakatsu's current enemy army is Sakuma Nobumori's 4,000 intellectuals.

Sakuma Nobumori is a veteran general of the Oda army, and has always been known for his good defense and stability, and Oda is known as the retreat of Sakuma among the four early generals.

Sakuma Nobumori, who is good at perseverance, received Oda Nobunaga's strict orders before, strictly guarded without fighting, first exhausted the vigor of the Takeda army, and then won this crucial battle with the tactics of a big counterattack. …,

Therefore, Sakuma Nobumori's team stood closely behind the three anti-horse barriers, and used the three-stage firing method of iron cannons to intercept the attack of the Mino people of Shima Katsu to Mt. Chaji.

In the face of the iron artillery fire of the Oda Army, Shima Katsutsu did not let the Mino people under his command charge charge with a sea of people with heavy casualties, but turned to the iron artillery team to carry out firepower in the way of iron artillery team.

The iron artillery teams of the two armies were at the foot of Chaji Mountain, and the battle was filled with gunsmoke.

And just when Li Xiao's army launched a tentative attack on Chaji Mountain.

The Ichiban of the Right Wing Army, Akabi of Yama Prefecture Masakai, launched a fierce attack on the Oda army.

Takeda's strongest army, the Red Reserve Army, was the first to engage the Tokugawa family's peripheral guerrilla army Okubo Tadayo, and Okubo Tadasa's brothers.

Okubo Tadashi, Okubo Tadashi brother, is a brave general of the Tokugawa army, in the battle of Ichigenzaka, and Honda Tadashi Katsu, achieved a brave name, and is also one of the sixteen Tokugawa generals in history.

The two brothers, in the face of the famous Red Reserve Army, also fought well.

After the fierce battle between the two armies, Okubo Tadashi and the Okubo Tadasa brothers knew that they were invincible, and immediately led the Red Reserve Army to the range of the Tokugawa army's iron cannon defense.

Subsequently, Akabei was fired by three rows of guns from behind the Tokugawa Army's defense horse fence.

Yama Shokei commanded the Red Reserve Army and retreated from the Tokugawa army's bullet-hailing position.

Yamaguchi Masakai led the Red Reserve Corps across the Toyogawa River, flanked the front line of the Tokugawa Army, and again crossed the river to attack the flank of the Tokugawa Army.

At this time, the second team of the left flank army after the Red Reserve Army, the Oyamada Nobushige Army, appeared in front of the Tokugawa Army's Takehiroguchi, forming a two-sided attack.

This tactic is exactly what the Takeda Army is good at, a frontal feint attack, and a flank detour!

Shan County Changjing slashed the sword.

1,800 Akaibei dismounted and crossed the river, and with the help of Oyamada Nobushige's troops, they forcibly crossed the river and attacked the flank of the Tokugawa army.

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu was not an incompetent general, and arranged the local nobles of Shoraku County on the bank of the river in advance, and the lord of Kawaji Castle set up the 500 troops of Rakusadamichi.

Seeing that Changjing of Shan County commanded Chibei to cross the river, he set up Lezhentong to resist to the death, and did not let Chibei grab the beach on the shore.

Just when Shiraku-sadamiri was unable to resist the successive assaults of the Akabei Army, the Tokugawa army Okubo Tadayo and the reserves of the Okubo Tadasa brothers rushed to reinforce it.

Under the hard assault of the Okubo team, coupled with the battle of crossing the river, it was no better than the plain, and the Yama County Changjing could not exert the full combat power of the red reserves.

As a result, the Tokugawa three teams joined forces, and after a desperate battle, the Yama Prefecture Corps rushed back to the other side of the Toyogawa River.

The Oyamada Nobushige team, which was in charge of the frontal attack, attacked the Tokugawa army's frontal defense fence several times, but was repelled by the Tokugawa army's iron cannon three-stage bombardment, and before the war, Oda Nobunaga also supported Tokugawa Ieyasu's five large barrels and two hundred iron cannons.

Therefore, Oyamada Nobushige's team suffered many casualties under the double bombardment of iron artillery and large barrels, and was defeated.

The assault of the two teams of Yama Prefecture Changjing and Oyamada Nobushige failed.

General Takeda finally realized at this moment that the Tokugawa Army, which had suffered a disastrous defeat under him in Mikatahara this time, was a real hard bone.

The Samurai of the Three Rivers are good at fighting, and they really live up to their reputation.

And in the battle of Sister River that year.

It was the Tokugawa army that underestimated the Tokugawa army, which was inferior to itself, that led to the great defeat.

And it was the turn of the Takeda Army to deal with it.
