Chapter 384: Falling Short

Ogasawara failed to capture the city for a long time, forcing Sanada Yukitaka to give up the strategy of full flowering, and instead focus on suppressing the targeted elimination, he rushed to the front of the camp and set fire to the granary in the camp with rockets, so that they carelessly hoarded grain and grass in the camp outside the city, even if they could not gather and annihilate them, they would be hurt and injured, and Murakami Yoshikiyo also took this opportunity to burn some of the grain and grass in Sone Masayo's camp and hurriedly retreated.

This wonderful night raid battle was at one point with a mistake and almost made a big oolong, fortunately, the preset plan preemptively acted so that the Takeda army in the two camps did not come and did the next step to deal with it was dealt with a major blow, as soon as the grain and grass were burned, it attracted hundreds of ashigaru desperately to fight the fire, fortunately, the fire was not too big when it first burned, and it took more than an hour to finally extinguish it, and at this time the Shinano army had already withdrawn without a trace.

The sky is faint, the smell of burnt paste in the camp is still not dissipated, the ashigaru people are busy all night cleaning up the traces of the fire, cleaning up the burned camp tent and grain and grass, the big tent Baba Nobuharu was surrounded by several doctors to clean up the arrow wounds, these military doctors are experienced veterans, know how to use boiling water to disinfect medical equipment, medical knives and scissors repeatedly roasted on the fire several times before taking them out for use.

Carefully cut open the armor to reveal the arrow sores full of blood, the distilled high-grade sake sprinkled on the sores The huge pain made Baba Nobuharu frown, the old doctor took a deep breath and picked up the sterilized knife and pulled out the arrows little by little, bursts of sharp pain hit like a blunt knife cutting meat, it didn't take long for Baba Nobuharu to sweat in pain, no anesthetic and not Guan Gong, it was very human to be able to grit his teeth and not snort, and the medical officers present also admired this unbeatable ghost Mino very much.

"Congratulations to Mino for guarding the temple, the arrow wound is not deep with armor and body protection. The arrows are also not poisonous. Immediately...... All right! The moment the old doctor pulled out the arrow. A few assistant doctors who had been waiting for a long time quickly applied the wound medicine, dried it in a steamer, put on a bandage, and then instructed them to change the dressing on time, pay attention to the food that should be avoided and so on, and then withdrew.

A few small surnames took off their tattered armor, two attendants came in with hot water and towels to wipe their bodies for the horse farm Nobuharu, and another small surname brought a good thirst-quenching health drink, although the mountains and rivers of Shinano are cool in summer, but they can wear armor and fight for several hours after all, they will be soaked in sweat, in addition to drinking water, they must scrub their bodies in time.

Nobuharu Baba covered the arrow wound with the slightest pain. Annoyed yelled: "Someone! Escort Ying Saburo and others who are on duty today to me, and my family will behead this thief with my own hands! ”

"General Kaiyu, Ying Saburo and this team Ashigaru died in the process of fighting the fire......" Itagaki Nobuyasu hesitated to cover up for the few Ashigaru who took the initiative to jump into the fire, not that he sympathized with those lowly Ashigaru, but he was really worried that telling the truth would make Baba Nobuharu angry again and cause bad complications, it was not good, the medical officer repeatedly told them not to be angry with Baba Nobuharu, how dare they talk nonsense.

Itagaki Nobuyan is the adopted son of Itagaki Nobukata's son-in-law, formerly known as Zeng Genhachiro, who inherited the Itagaki family business after his brother-in-law Itagaki Nobuyoshi was killed, and his weight in speaking is far higher than that of ordinary ashigaru generals. Hearing the news, Nobuharu Baba's face really improved a lot, and he snorted coldly: "Cheap those thieves." Ben Jiang suspected that they were the secret of the Kira family, and even tricked Ben Jiang into going out of the village defenselessly, but he was ambushed by the Kira army, and Ben Jiang was eager to break these thieves into pieces! ”

After a while, Takeda Nobuyoshi and Sone Masashi rushed over to visit the injured Baba Nobuharu, seeing that he was hit by an arrow wound and unable to act, Takeda Nobuharu sighed: "But it is the means of the family to underestimate the Kira army, and the means of this scheme must be the means of Sanada Danzheng, the family never expected that Sanada Danzheng would be reused by the Kira family so quickly, and he is also the main general who leads the 17,000 army, The mind and means of the town government are far beyond our imagination! ”

Hearing that Takeda Nobushigeru was quite respectful of Kira Yoshishi in his words, Sone Masayo and Baba Nobuharu couldn't help frowning, and it could be seen that Takeda Nobushigeru was still affected by Echigo in the months he was imprisoned, and the inadvertent title was replaced by "Zhenfu Gong", although this kind of title always makes people find no mistakes, but it is always uncomfortable to call the enemy governor when they are enemies of each other.

"Sanada Danzheng has unpredictable methods, but he doesn't want to join the Kira family, doesn't he boast that he wants to be a loyal and good general? Does such apostasy still deserve the name of a loyal and good general? What a shameful samurai! Racecourse Xinchun scolded angrily, but accidentally involved the arrow wound on his body, and grinned in pain.

Takeda Nobuhiro didn't quite agree with Nobuharu's attitude, shook his head and said, "Sanada Danzheng must have his own last resort!" Those Chinese hostages who were robbed in the last year of the Awazaki Museum, don't forget that Sanada Danmasa's two children died in the battle for the lord in Hachimangahara, if the Kira family captures his three youngest sons, it will be equivalent to pinching Sanada Danmasa's life, I believe the two of you can understand, right? ”

"But it's our negligence! I actually let all the hostages in the Kusaki Pavilion be taken away.,It looks like the Kira family has been planning for a long time I'm waiting! Sone Masayo sighed, but the two of them sighed.

Once upon a time, the Takeda family was very confident in their own strength, even if the field battle was not Nagao and Kira, when it came to means and strategy, you could always recover the losses you had suffered, but now the situation has changed to tell the Takeda family, whether it is playing strategic means or fighting the battlefield, it is not the opponent of the Kira family, and self-confidence will inevitably be seriously hit.

This kind of blow can be more powerful than the blow to self-esteem, the Takeda family can not care about the Kira family to blame the righteousness, but they can't care about the Kira family's strategy, yesterday at midnight before the battle plan was defeated for a while, earlier in the morning the hostage was robbed and even more defeated, the hostage was robbed when the hostage was robbed, and he didn't think it would happen, but he didn't want to be taken away by the Kira family's sharp knife.

Most of the other two in the Takeda three bombs are not worthy of the name, only Sanada Yutaka is a veritable general, whether it is to calm the side to win over, or to defend the fortified city to block the enemy's attack, it is perfect, and the more powerful is the unpredictable means of attacking the city. There are endless tricks to tweak. The anti-Takeda coalition that affected most of Shinano was easily dispersed by him. He made great contributions to the Takeda family's capture of Shinano.

When the sharp knife was in his hands, the strategy of the Takeda family was smooth, and the sharp knife was used to be satisfactory and handy, needless to say, once he encountered a strong enemy Kira family, he found that the strategy was not so smooth, and the sharp knife did not seem to be as easy to use as before, and he immediately felt that Sanada Yutaka was not as powerful as before, and he felt disgusted, but no one cared about how much Sanada Yutaka had made, how much suffering he had suffered, and how much he had suffered.

On this day, he suddenly defected to the Kira family and became a sharp knife of a strong enemy, and the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart suddenly exploded. A few words of sarcasm like Nobuharu Baba are good, and some samurai scolded them in private, almost comparing Sanada Yutaka to a despicable and shameless villain, and even framing the Kira family for breaking into the Takeda family's secrets, but they don't think about how much they have done to the Sanada family and Sanada Yutaka himself in the past few years.

This is the root of human nature, only remembering the bad of others, but forgetting the good of others, no matter how much credit Sanada Yutaka makes, if he makes mistakes, it is unforgivable. Just as the world praises heroes, when heroes accidentally make mistakes that ordinary people can also make. But he can never be forgiven, because the undefeated image of the hero is always unconsciously magnified, and he gradually forgets that he is also a mortal of flesh and blood.

"It's too heavy! Still don't talk about this! Sone Masayo pulled the topic away, looked at Takeda Nobuyhiro with admiration and said: "Speaking of which, it is thanks to the defeat of the Ogasawara army by the Takeda Warren that the tide of the battle was turned in time, and it will not force us to commit suicide in defeat, and I am here to thank the Takeda Warren Temple!" ”

"Ahh I should thank the stable for the great grace of the temple, and if I can't stand it one step later, my Xinchun's life will be explained here, please accept my worship! Baba Nobuharu was about to get up, Takeda Nobuhiro and Sone Masayo hurriedly pulled him to prevent him from getting up, where could he get up and thank him with an arrow wound, so that he could be persuaded to come down after all.

The three of them chattered for a while and talked about today's battle situation, Takeda Nobuyhiro sighed: "In this battle, we fought for more than 1,000 people, and the Kira army left more than 800 corpses and retreated in a hurry. ”

Sone Masashi said with a smile: "Without the timely victory of the Stable Palace, it can't be said to be a total defeat, and it is still a loss for the Kira Army, and it is not good to change who is the vanguard general but use this Ogasawara for a long time, I don't want to meet this Ogasawara for a long time, and the meritorious heart of the Sanada Danzheng has broken Sanada's strategy, presumably Sanada Danzheng must be angry!" ”

Nobuharu Baba struggled to prop himself up and lean on the mat, and agreed with a smile: "The main attacker has already lost three points if he fails to win, and he has lost three points by eight hundred for one thousand, and Sanada Danzheng can only be counted as a four-point victory in this battle!" ”

The three of them tried to encourage the words to say in the best direction possible, in fact, they knew very well in their hearts that this war was not good to continue, and the number of soldiers lost was secondary, but the morale that had been accumulated with great difficulty was inevitably lost in this battle, and the samurai were easy to think of the strength of the Kira Legion, and then they would inevitably touch the scene when they saw their former comrades-in-arms serving under the Kira family and fighting against each other, which was even more difficult to fight.

Kumai Castle was already small and dilapidated and unusable, and the road leading to the castle tower was burned by an explosion and destroyed in many places, and it seemed that it could no longer be used, and once the military use of Kumai Castle was completely lost, the strength of the army of more than 12,000 troops was equivalent to setting up a large camp on the mountain ridge to attack Chikuma-gun.

In the past, Ogasawara chose to camp here to invade Suwa Prefecture, but there must be a major premise, that is, the attacking side can only be carried out when it is determined to have its own advantages, otherwise it is like Ogasawara who relaxed his vigilance for a long time but was beaten by the Takeda army for a while and lost his armor, and even the forest castle in the house was burned.

The Takeda family's 13,000 troops were at a relative disadvantage in terms of military strength against the Kira army's 17,000 Shinano Army, and although this battle was won with the help of Takeda Nobushi's excellent command and Ogasawara's long-term mistakes, this kind of loss of 1,000 for 800 was still more lost by the Takeda army.

After all, the Takeda army has fewer troops, and the crisis of the Kai Takeda clan is that the military strength is seriously weakened, so that the rear territory is unguarded, and the territory that has been fought hard for many years is handed over to the Kira family, compared to the Takeda family, the Takeda family has no capital to play this kind of trick of exchanging human lives for accumulating advantages, not to mention that the rest of the Kai family is all elite soldiers, and it can't be regarded as a tie no matter how you look at it.

Wakata Sanada Yutaka is a four-point victory. Takeda Nobuyhiro was more than a six-point defeat. This is very clear to both Takeda Nobuyoshi and Baba Nobuharu and Sone Masayo here. The Takeda Army's operation can only be won and undefeated, and even a small defeat is a loss.

In the castle tower of Akagi Castle, the same three generals sat together to discuss the gains and losses of this war, and Sanada Yutaka said solemnly: "This battle exposed the disadvantages of the Shinano Army, the quality of the soldiers was too poor, and there was a huge gap in the understanding and execution of the tactics of each reserve general, and there was also the behavior of Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru who was going to criticize Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru here, because Shinano Mamoru was eager to take revenge but trapped the main force all the way to nothing." Please learn from Shinano and never make such mistakes again.

In fact, this is also the general's mistake, the lord ordered Ben to be the leader of Shinano, to bear the responsibility of attacking the central south Shinano, the two should actively cooperate, because the general's momentary negligence also bears some responsibility for the defeat of this war, so this will ask the lord to ask for a fine for half a year, and propose to confiscate Ogasawara Shinano to keep the temple for one year, and not to move to the left within three years, I don't know what Ogasawara Shinano will do if he keeps the palace? ”

"Yes! Under the willing to receive the punishment! I'm sorry for adding a lot of trouble to the main hall and the Yulin hall! Ogasawara bowed down to the ground with a face full of shame for a long time. Yoshikiyo Murakami on the side looked full of taste, who would have thought that the dignified predecessor Shinano Guardian would bow down like two Shinano lords because of a momentary mistake?

Sanada Yutaka picked up the old shelf of the family and criticized them lightly, and the two of them really couldn't say anything. The biggest reason is that Ogasawara has been uncompetitive for a long time, and when he saw that the enemy was red-eyed, he rushed in to fight with his superior forces, but he should not have neglected the important factors of the terrain, the three thousand defenders in the city plus the five thousand defenders outside the city, the whole city was crowded, and how could the war be fought when people were crowded? If he is undefeated, is there any reason for heaven?

It is reasonable to criticize him, and it is even more appropriate, this is not to educate children to praise more than to criticize more, it is all the old man who has experienced many ups and downs and made this kind of stupid mistake, and it is unreasonable not to criticize.

In fact, Sanada Yutaka is also consciously protecting him, but this can't be said too clearly and it's not too obvious, Sanada Yutaka reprimanded him as the elder of the spectrum family, and then reported to Kasuga Yamajo in the form of an official document, with him, the genealogy of the family elder dealt with once, Kira Yoshishi will definitely not deal with it a second time, which can easily let Ogasawara escape for a long time.

Ogasawara was obviously aware of this meaning for a long time, and threw a grateful look at Sanada Yukitaka, speaking of which, he has experienced many battles in the Kawanakajima battle for a long time, and has made a lot of achievements, not to mention that his status is far stronger than that of ordinary Chinese lords, no matter how he thinks about it, he should not make such a stupid mistake, but this is what happened, seeing Takeda Nobuyoshi standing on the castle tower and commanding Ruoding, Ogasawara immediately became excited, and rushed in with a hot head, and then he was defeated in a daze.

Now that I think about it, Ogasawara has long felt ashamed and remorse for this, this level is simply clumsy, a third-rate military general can do such a stupid thing, and a slightly higher-grade countryman lord will not easily make this kind of mistake, and a person like him who has fought with Takeda Shingen several times should not do stupid things, it can only be said that the power of hatred is too strong, so that his head is not clear.

But he couldn't say that he was too stupid, he had to explain how he made a mistake, so he said: "Actually, I didn't just see the enemy for a long time, but also because of greed, when I saw Takeda Warr, I thought it was an opportunity to fight a dozen, but no matter how I fought, I couldn't kill the castle tower, and the time was delayed for a long time, and the army was impatient, covering up many sons who rushed into Honmaru, but Takeda Warden suddenly sent a flag samurai to rush out, and suddenly rushed to the main formation under and almost killed in front of Zaixia, The tight formation was scattered at once, and he had to retreat a little as a last resort, but he didn't want the Takeda army to chase after the main formation, and the retreat turned into a rout...... Sorry! ”

"In this way, it is understandable that Shinano Shouden was defeated...... "Murakami Yoshikiyo frowned and asked, "It seems that this Takeda stable really can't be underestimated!" How much does Danshoden know about Takeda's stables? ”

Sanada Yutaka recalled for a while before he said slowly: "Takeda Stable Hall?" I don't know much about the Takeda Wargrounds, I only know that he is a low-key person who treats people gently and friendly, whether it is a commoner or a samurai, he never behaves properly, and his military strategy is not inferior to Takeda Daizen, but he lacks the ruthless means of Takeda Daizen in terms of soldiers, and he doesn't like to win by strategy, so he is a model of a samurai who adheres to tradition! ”

In fact, he still has a certain relationship with Takeda Shinshi, and several military cooperation is also quite compatible, and gradually accumulates some friendship with colleagues, but it is limited to their respective identities and must not be too close, after all, in Takeda's family, Takeda Shinshin is a sensitive person, and has always been hung up by Takeda Shingen as a deputy general, and the real military strategy level has only been slightly displayed in recent years.

Maybe it's Takeda Nobushihiro's luck is not very good, every time the opponent meets the main force of the Kira Army, even if his ability is extraordinary, it can only bring a little bit of glory, and it will inevitably make people despise it for a long time, but in fact, it's not the case, just like Sanada Yutaka meets the Kira family and repeatedly misses, the embodiment of means and ability depends on who the opponent is, and choosing an opponent who is far stronger than himself in all aspects is doomed to his performance can only be clumsy.

It's like Ogasawara Choshi, who is famous for his bravery, is a very high level among first-class generals in terms of military strategy, even if Murakami Yoshikiyo is against him, he doesn't dare to say that he can take advantage of it, but the enemy Ogasawara encountered when he was a long time was either Takeda Shingen or Takeda Shinshi, and the quality of his own troops was inferior to the other party, and he would be defeated by the opportunity if he did a little bit of imperfection.

None of the three generals here are good at stubble, and at the same time the military strategy is the top level of Shinano, and it is definitely a first-class level in other states, and the combination of the three is even better than the combination that many daimyo are proud of, such as Taiyuan Yukisai, Asahina Taino, and Okabe Motonobu's combination is not necessarily stronger than their trio.

The combination of the three people and the top Takeda Nobushi, Baba Nobuharu and Sone Masayo is only slightly worse than them, and the luck component of the two sides is relatively high, and it is impossible to say that it will be because of an accident to play a total collapse situation, and the change in the battle formation is so strange, sometimes the gap between the level of the two sides is huge, it may be a situation where a dozen will lose and a touch will be scattered, and the two will become another situation, either they will hold each other until the end without any results, or they will play an extremely tragic battle.

Realizing that there is a huge difference in their consciousness and the quality of the soldiers, the three generals immediately pressed the mind of continuing the strategy, the so-called sharpening the knife does not mistakenly chop wood, and the iron still needs to be hard, and their disadvantages cannot be made up in time, so they will push all the way to Suwa County Most of them will also suffer another heavy blow in Suwa County, and at that time, the advantage of the location and people will be transferred from the Kira family to the Takeda side, and it will not be so easy for them to retreat calmly again

The Shinano army did not plan to move again, and the Takeda army did not dare to continue fighting because of its huge disadvantage and fear of Sanada Yutaka, and the Takeda army held out in fear outside the ruined Kumai Castle for three days, and when the horse farm Nobuharu was able to move into the field, he hurriedly burned Kumai Castle and led the army to retreat.

Sanada Yukitaka also came to rebuild Kumai Castle in the wake of the Katsustring Pass, which was adjacent to Shiojiri Pass, and placed 8,000 troops in the castle to defend the Suwa Basin under the mountain range.

Sanada Yutaka left more than 8,000 people in Ogasawara Changshi Castle as a left-behind general for the time being, and led the remaining 9,000 troops to Fukashi Castle to continue the reorganization, this time they learned a lesson and no longer appointed local people to defend the city, I sent the main army over, you don't dare to harass again, right? If you still come in a hurry, you can't blame Sanada Yutaka for being polite. (To be continued......)
