Seeing that the Takeda Army stopped for no reason, Nagano Yemasa already had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Not long after, the Takeda army slowly advanced, and announced that their ambush had been explored.

Therefore, the Ueno coalition army also erected flags and horse seals, came down from the mountain, and relied on the superiority of troops to set up a crane wing formation in front of the mountain.

The right wing of the "Crane" is headed by the sword master Hidetsuna Imizumi, who leads five wealthy families including Fujii Tomotada and Shirakawa Mitsukatsu, while the left wing is headed by Kohata Kenshige and leads five wealthy families such as Wada Yeshiro and Goken Nobutsu.

The Tsurutou Honjin, with Nagano Yoshimasa as the core, gathered 6 wealthy families, and the Echigo reinforcements led by Sasa Narumasa and the three of them were also in the Honjin.

The Zhujiao Tiger Dingsho Division, which advanced the fastest, took the lead in colliding with the right flank of the Ueno coalition led by Hidetsuna Umizumi!

Although the tiger is old, it is menacing, and the Tigers of the Horns commanded the left flank army and launched a fierce attack with inferior forces!

Kamiizumi Hidetsuna personally led his disciples to rush forward and take the lead in resisting.

Later, the confident Kohata family led the left flank of the coalition army to engage the right wing of Iitomi Masakakei's legion!

Almost at the same time...... The "Crane Head" led by Nagano Yoshimasa himself also pecked hard at the front line of Nobuharu Baba!

The entire battlefield suddenly boiled, shouting and killing from all sides, and the murderous aura was a cloud at three o'clock!

The left wing army of Huding on the road and the Hao coalition led by Hidetsuna Kamiizumi gradually fell into a stalemate;

Nobuharu Nakaba and Nagano are methodically launching wave after wave of attacks and defenses, winning and losing each other, but overall the casualties are not large, and both are still in the warm-up stage.

The confrontation on the lower road quickly showed strength and weakness.

Kohata Kenshige father and son led the leader of Ueno Kazukuni, Kohata Akabei, to launch one attack after another on the right flank of the Takeda Army.

Iitomi Masakai really wanted to use the Takeda family's Akabi to fight back, but the command of Takeda's military Akabi was in the hands of his eldest brother Iitomi Huchang, and all he could rely on at the moment was 2,000 ashigaru on the right flank and more than 100 samurai on horseback.

Although he was on the defensive and had a considerable disadvantage in terms of troops, Changjing did not think that this was because of his incompetence, and he did not have the idea of "possibly losing" because of this.

The stronger the enemy army, the more his competitive spirit was ignited, and the first time he commanded the legion, he met the famous Kohata Akabei in the Kanto region, which made him feel an inexplicable excitement.

"Don't panic! Hold on to your formation! ”

He led the few horseback warriors on horseback to patrol back and forth, struggling to make ends meet.

Ashigaru is the most prone to fear when facing the charge of multiple cavalry teams, but fortunately, the Takeda family's Red Reserve Regiment has been established, and they have not used troops outside the country for a year, and they have been training for cavalry charges several times.

In Japan, cavalry combat has long been practiced, but the use of mounted cavalry frontal infantry formations is rare.

Horse warriors were too expensive in Japan, and the losses were too great if they were to charge head-on, so horse teams often relied on superior mobility to divide and surround the enemy, or cut a thin layer from the side like cutting meat.

When Changjing saw that Kohata Kenshige and his father and son used the Red Reserve to forcibly charge the battle regardless of casualties, he knew that he had a better chance of winning today's battle.

For this reason, he even commanded the reserve to retreat a little, looking like it was invincible.

Kohata Ken was overjoyed by his father and son, and the forces leading the Kohata family continued to deepen...... gradually distanced himself from the Hao clan coalition behind him.

In the main formation of the Takeda Army, the general Takeda Yoshinobu stood on horseback and looked around and forgot to forget, and saw that Iitomi Masashi on the right flank was struggling to defend, and couldn't help but smile and asked Iitomi Huchang behind him:

"Brother Ling seems to be at a disadvantage now, do you want to go to the rescue?"

A smile also appeared on Iitomi Huchang's tense cheeks, as if he had reached some kind of tacit understanding with Yoshinobu.

"If Genshiro can't even stop the Ueno coalition forces...... It can only prove that I have no eyes, and I shouldn't pass on the position of the governor of the rich family to him. ”

Yixin smiled slightly, knowing that what he guessed was not wrong, so he continued to observe the battle situation on the front line, but Fan Fu Huchang behind him said coldly:

"Comparatively speaking, it is still the Lord of the Horns on the left flank that is more dangerous, if he is brave enough to fight the other side...... I'm afraid I won't take advantage of it. ”

The meaning of Fan Fu Huchang is obvious, the other party is a sword saint, if the Horned Tiger is determined to play alone again, it is estimated that this battle will end.

As soon as Huchang reminded him, Yixin decided to send someone to tell Zhujiao Huding not to force martial arts, but the envoy had not yet been sent, and the envoys from the front line came over in a hurry.

"Report! The Left Wing Army and the Ueno Army are fighting on horseback! ”

Yixin and Huchang were startled at the same time, and hurriedly asked the envoy to probe again, they thought they had thought it through, but they didn't expect that a ride still happened.

It didn't take long for the envoy to report again:

"Big Bear Chaoxiu and Kamiizumi Hidetsuna have been defeated!"

Yoshinobu and Huchang were quite surprised, it turned out that it was not Zhujiao Huding who was following Izumi Xiugang to fight, but the later general Daxiong Chaoxiu.

The defeat of Daxiong Chaoxiu seems to be a normal thing in their eyes, but Daxiong Chaoxiu is also quite brave, I don't know if this battle is life or death?

"Did the Great Bear Chaoxiu ever die in battle?"

Hu Chang hurriedly asked.

"He was cut in the left arm by Hidetsuna Umizumi, and he has returned to the formation!"

"Tell Lord Zhujiao Huding, don't indulge the generals and Shangquan Xiugang anymore, go quickly!"

Although the Great Bear Asanobu had little status in the hearts of their master and apprentice, Takeda Yoshinobu still gave a stern order with a strong voice.

After the envoy left, Yoshinobu stood on the saddle again and watched the military situation, and it was not long before he jumped off his horse and smiled at Fan Fu Huchang:

"Teacher's red reserve team, it seems that it's time to play."

Iifu Huchang did not look at the six roads like Yoshinobu, and when he heard Yoshinobu's words, his heart moved, and he immediately asked:

"Could it be that Lord Baba has been suppressed?"

"Nope."

Yoshinobu smiled and shook his head.

"That is, Genshiro has already surrounded the people of the Kohata family?"

"Exactly!" Yoshinobu raised his hand and pointed to the southeast.

"Brother Ling lured Kohata Chibei into the encirclement, and he has already succeeded halfway, and next, whether he can wipe out Kohata Chibei is up to the teacher."

After thinking about it for a while, Fan Fuhu Chang understood the key to it, and immediately stepped on his war horse and led the red reserve team to the right wing of the army.

As Takeda Yoshinobu said, Iitomi Masakai lured the enemy deep with inferior forces and surrounded Kohata Akabi, but relying only on his strength of about 2,000 men was not enough to annihilate the powerful Kohata Akabi, not to mention that the right wing army had to deal with the attack of the Ueno clan.

After seeing Iitomi and the Red Reserve team leave, Takeda Yoshinobu continued to stand on a high place and watch, and somehow, a hint of foreboding appeared in his heart.

Everything was expected by him, and nothing went wrong, but it was like this, which made him feel uneasy.

After a while, it dawned on Yoshishin.

Where did the Echigo reinforcements led by Sasa Seimasa go?
