"At this moment, whose army is coming, its majesty makes thunder and lightning rain from the heavens, makes the earth gush out of the hot mist, and acts like heavenly demons, so that the majestic Takeda brave soldiers suddenly show panicked faces, and this sobriety also makes the monarchs unstable."

-- The later "Chronicles of the Ko-Yue Army" records the moment when the Uesugi army appeared after the fog cleared.

Although later generations have recognized the similarity between the "Chronicle of the Jiayue Army" and the "Jiayang Junjian", with a greater focus on the Takeda side, many descriptions of the Battle of Kawanakajima are appropriately close to the facts.

At 8 a.m., the fog cleared in the morning sun, and the Uesugi army formed an aggressive fish-scale formation and entered the field of vision of the Takeda army.

They greeted the morning sun and shone on the armor of the samurai, as if many mirrors were shining in the entire array, and the light shone in the Uesugi army's array, stinging the eyes of the Takeda army.

Stung Takeda's eyes.

"The surprise attack failed......"

The generals who knew the "woodpecker tactics" understood this, and to make matters worse, the Takeda army had 8,000 men in its main team, while the Echigo army on the opposite side was ...... Seeing that the posture has exceeded 10,000 people, at this time, not only is the morale of the own side insufficient, but even the troops are at a disadvantage......

Kansuke Yamamoto had an embarrassed look on his face, and although he didn't blush, there was guilt in his eyes when he looked at Haranobu.

"Pass the order down and meet the enemy with a crane wing array! Don't take a step back! ”

Takeda Harunobu sat on the horse and gave the military order, he had just received the news that the right flank Anayama Nobuyo had been killed in battle and the Anayama family reserve was disbanded, which was really a bad sign......

Since the main force of the Uesugi Army is here, what happened to the Takeda Rangers? Calculating the time, the Takeda Rangers should have pounced on Mt. Tsumi, and if they marched as soon as possible, they should be able to arrive within 2 hours...... Therefore, the team will need to hold out for at least two hours before they can win...... Kansuke Yamamoto counted the number of wins and losses in this battle, and couldn't help but feel a little comforted.

…… Although the woodpecker tactics have been explored, the Takeda army is still a strong side, and as long as they can hold their own position, they are already invincible.

"Chop the chicken."

"Hay."

A call pulled Kansuke Yamamoto out of his meditation, and Harunobu Takeda sat firmly on his maza and asked,

"Do you have any good suggestions for the arrangement of this formation?"

"The lord ordered to meet the enemy with a crane wing array, which is really clear! The ordinary soldiers didn't know how many Uesugi troops there were, but since it was a crane wing formation, they must have been relieved and thought that our army had the upper hand. ”

Harunobu bowed slightly, indeed, what Kansuke Yamamoto said was Harunobu's consideration.

The use of the Crane Wing Formation is very common, and Harunobu himself often uses this formation, which is a good way to surround the enemy when his side has the advantage of forces. It was impossible for the soldiers of the Takeda Army to know the woodpecker tactics, they could only judge the situation with their own ears and eyes by what they heard and saw, and although they saw the majestic momentum of the Uesugi army, the Crane Wing Formation gave them the illusion that their side still had the advantage, allowing them to calm down and concentrate on the battle in front of them.

After a while...... The forward of the Uesugi Army was the first to make contact with the Takeda Army's main formation!

The general who commanded the forward battle of the Uesugi Army was none other than Kakizaki Keijia, the "invincible of the Seven Counties of Echigo", and at the same time, he was also the general of the Uesugi Army in the last Battle of Kawanakajima.

The bravery of the Jing family is a well-deserved first in Echigo, and he himself is good at using the "one horse fight" tactics to personally lead the team to rush to the front, so the forward of the striker is the 300 elite of the Kakizaki family led by the Kakizaki Jingjia himself.

Soon after the Kakizaki team engaged the Takeda army's main formation, news of the engagement with the Uesugi army also came from the left and right flanks.

"Shame on you, I'll take off his clothes!"

Harunobu, who was sitting in the main formation, heard the shouts of the Jing family, but this did not mean anything at all, and almost every time the Kakizaki Keik family tried to kill a samurai, he had to shout loudly, which had already surprised Harunobu during the third battle of Kawanakajima a year ago.

In war, people will always die, and as long as the important ones don't die, it doesn't matter much.

"Order Naito Masatoyo to take Akabei to meet the enemy!"

"Hay!"

Naito Masatoyo stepped forward with four hundred red preparations.

In today's Takeda family, the four retainers who are trusted by Harunobu are "Baba Nobuharu, Iitomi Masanobu, Takasaka Masanobu, Naito Masato", these four have their own strengths, among them, Iitomi Masaki is known for inheriting his brother Tiger Masaki's brave battle, Baba Nobuharu is both civil and military, on the horse to cut people, off the horse to govern the people and win the trust, Takasaka Masanobu was born with good looks and strong ability, is Harunobu's crotch. The minister, but Naito Masatoyo has always had few opportunities to be independent, and he doesn't sell his ass much, why can he be among the four most trusted ministers of Harunobu?

In this woodpecker battle plan, Harunobu sent his most trusted Takasaka Masatanobu and Baba Nobuharu as the main generals of the Einsatzgruppen, leaving Iitomi Masakai and Naito Masatoshi by his side, Masakai is good at attacking, which can be described as aggression like fire, but what about Naito Masatsuno?

At this time, Naito Masatoyo was commanding 400 Chibei to spread out the formation and resist the attack of the Kakizaki team.

Contrary to the rumors of later generations, the Takeda family's Akabi was not all cavalry, and if you look at it from the name alone, "Akabi" is a reserve team wearing red armor, and the Takeda family's Akabi is composed of three parts: samurai, standing ashigaru, and agricultural ashigaru.

Those who can fight on horseback are naturally mounted samurai, and the fighting effectiveness of the agricultural soldier Ashigaru is not high, and he usually goes on as an auxiliary soldier for the mounted samurai to ensure the safety of the flanks for the mounted samurai.

In addition to the cavalry team, there is also an elite team composed of standing ashigaru, and its general is Naito Masatyo.

"The samurai on the other side dare to fight me!"

Kakizaki Keijia shot another shot and killed a Akabi Ashigaru, raised his gun, and shouted between the two army lines.

But Changfeng was unmoved.

The battle continued, and the indomitable momentum of the Kakizaki team was finally slightly stopped after encountering the red reserves, and although the red mountains composed of four hundred red preparations occasionally fluctuated, they did not take a step back.

After finally seeing the opponent's main general, Kakizaki Keijia shouted again:

"Naito Masato, dare to fight me!"

Changfeng was still unmoved, he didn't even have the idea of responding, he just mobilized the meager forces in his hands with a blank look to block the waves of attacks of the Kakizaki team.

In the main formation of the Takeda army, the centipede rode from the direction of the right flank:

"The original Huyin team is in a hurry!"

The general of the enemy army in the direction of the right flank?

"Sasa Seimasa!"

"Masaka ......"

Harunobu unconsciously smashed the iron military fan on his thigh, and immediately frowned in pain, he immediately calmed down, took a deep breath and said:

"Iifu Changjing team, go to support!"

"Hay!"

Boom, Iitomi Masakai stepped onto his war horse and set off from the main camp with a team of hundreds of mounted samurai and Ashigaru Akabi.

"Wait, Changjing!"

Harumin stood up suddenly, and Iitomi Masaojing in the team was a little puzzled, but he still respectfully dismounted, waved his hand to stop the Red Reserve team, and returned to Harunobu himself:

"The lord still has orders?"

"Come back alive!"
