Chapter 360: Decisive Battle on Kawanakajima

Three months of smooth sailing and water made the Takeda family fall into unprecedented complacency and self-paralysis, thinking that the Kira army was just a point advantage by virtue of being well-equipped, and the Takeda family only needed to open the dragon gate array to stop the Kira family, and the Ren Kira family had a thousand means and how many powerful skills, as long as they couldn't use half a point, what could they do?

But the cruel reality made the Takeda family realize that they were so wrong, three months of not moving is not incompetence but forbearance and dormancy before waiting for the opportunity, countless times Takeda Harunobu is doubting that the Kira family has any tricks to deal with them, but as time passes, it proves that his suspicion is thinking too much, and now he thinks about it or he is too careless.

The face of being humiliated by the Kira family again and again is gone, and now the only strategy that can be proud of himself is that the body of Kira Yoshishixiu is incomplete, Takeda Harunobu gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "The Kira Town Mansion is really scheming, this strategy is impeccable, this is to force the family to come to the rescue!" If the Kira army is allowed to cross the river in a big way and swallow the Xinfan, don't say that the chance to turn the tables will be reversed, even if this battle situation will collapse instantly, no matter what, the family will have to fight, and the family has only one chance, that is, to take advantage of the time when it crosses the river and attack! ”

At the beginning of the hour, the waning moon in the night sky hung weakly, and the faint clouds gently fluttered to cover it gently, and after a while, a gust of wind blew the clouds away from the Hachimangawa, and the hazy moonlight revealed a light and shadow from the gaps in the clouds, and a faint halo shone through the thin clouds to create a piece of silver white, but after a while, a large cloud covered the night sky, and only a little white light was revealed on the edge of the clouds.

The hazy moonlight was almost imperceptible when it fell on the ground, and it was not much worse than yesterday's, and it was still a night when I couldn't see my fingers. It's dark everywhere, and it's hard to notice the distance of people and horses a little farther away. More than a thousand figures quietly lurked in the bushes outside the camp of Chajiu Mountain. In the autumn night, the night was heavy, and the samurai fell to the ground, and after a while, they were cold.

Miyabe Jirun led more than 1,000 people who dared to die outside the village, and soon after the Takeda army finished the whole army, he opened the city gate and walked out, and more than 1,000 people walked out, and he saw a group of warriors gathered together, surrounded by a cavalry general and slowly walked out of the camp, and saw that the flag seal was the banner of the Takeda family.

"The target has appeared, let's act!" Okochi Tsunataka was excited, but he was held by Miyabe Jijun and couldn't move. The samurai of Mikawa were all reckless, and when they saw that this Omi monk did not let him move, he was not happy, and he still didn't break free when he struggled, and he was just about to roar when he was covered by a big hand in his mouth.

I only heard a deep voice coming into my ears: "The lord said that Takeda Harunobu is used to trickery, and we still don't know if that person is Takeda Harunobu himself, I must not be in a hurry when I wait for this opportunity, it is better to take a look first!" ”

Miyabe Jirun saw that he didn't fight or shout before he let go of his hands with confidence, and heard Okochi Tsunataka complain in a low voice: "You barbarian monk is unreasonable, if you have something to say, why do you want to attack me, if it weren't for my Ganggao knowing that you are not a villain." The samurai on the left and right are going to show their swords, so we don't know what Takeda Harunobu looks like. You just let it go so lightly, and if you miss an opportunity to cause trouble, don't blame me. ”

Seeing that the old qualifications who were over thirty years old were complaining, Miyabe Jirun patiently explained: "One sentence or two is not clear, our highest priority task is to attack the city at night and then expand the results of the battle, with more than 1,000 of us to fight the fifteen-thousand-strong army and send it to death, no matter how dare to die, it is not possible to make such a move, you must know that it is not easy for the hall master to train this soldier and a general, even if it is dead, it is cost-effective to fight half of the Takeda army." ”

"Humph! You said lightweight, in the final analysis, I still want to keep a useful body and make another achievement! You are not satisfied with winning three cities in a row, and take the initiative to take on the responsibility of commanding the death squad, which shows that your ambition is not small! Okochi Tsunade smiled and looked at this monk, three years younger than him, just turned thirty this year is the time when he is in the prime of life, and in recent years, he has not been able to be a general in the preparation team, but his merits are not prominent, and he has always been considered to be a native of Omi who has been born and qualified.

Kira's family is not a pool of stagnant water, Omi people and Mikawa samurai, small friction between the meritorious faction and the adherents has always existed, these years Yamamoto Tokiyuki retreated to the second line and gradually became less in charge, and the leaders of several parties have also surfaced, Miyabe Jirun is even a representative figure in the Omi country, this time he went out to make merit for the sake of the Omi people to seek more foundation.

Miyabe Jirun said modestly: "Tsunagao Hall said that it was funny, I Jirun is a samurai of the Kira family, and it is the duty of the samurai family to go to the soup for the owner of the pavilion, as for the words of ambition, I must not mention it, and the only expectation for us is that the family business is prosperous, and it will be satisfied to eat meat and drink soup with the owner of the pavilion, and it is appropriate to replace it with ambition." ”

Gossip, a dense group of samurai came out of the camp, surrounded by a samurai wearing Suwa armor out of the camp, followed by thousands of people to protect the camp, it can be seen that the Takeda army is very cautious, out of a large camp with the shadow warriors to test the changes in the outside.

Okochi Tsunataka was completely convinced, and regardless of whether Miyabe Jirun could see it clearly or not, he gave him a thumbs up: "Sure enough, you guessed it, tell me how you guessed it?" I didn't see any flaws after watching it for a long time, could it be that the Takeda Army had a clairvoyant eye to see through our actions? ”

"The hall owner specially instructed Takeda Harunobu to be careful with his tricks, just now as soon as he opened the door, he saw Takeda Harunobu's main formation coming out, does Tsunataka Hall think this is normal? For the general to lead the troops in the front, has there ever been a general leading the troops in the former? Since Takeda Harunobu raised troops and exiled his father, there is always a count of how many times he personally led his troops out of battle in the past ten years. ”

After Miyabe Jirun's enlightenment, Okochi Tsunataka only felt suddenly enlightened: "That's what I said!" I said how can you use a trick without seeing a flaw, it turns out that this is a trick! But speaking of which, isn't there a Takeda family with a penetrating ninja? It's very dangerous for us to lie in ambush outside the Takeda military camp like this! ”

"It's really dangerous, and the owner of the museum has expected this, and the owner said that this is called black under the lamp, and a candlestick placed on the map under the shadow of the candlestick is always the easiest to ignore. At the same time, the Takeda Army suffered a new defeat last night, and the morale of the army was shaken, and it was bound to be too busy. Tonight, I was deceived out of the camp by my Kira army. There will definitely be omissions in the hasty arrangement, even if Takeda Harunobu is delicate, he can't imagine that we can endure until they all come out of the battle, we just need to wait for all the Takeda troops to leave and then seal the camp gate and capture the remaining samurai in the camp alive! Miyabe Jirun quickly explained clearly, and fell into a long silence.

The news of the Takeda army's departure could not be hidden at all, and the fifteen-thousand-strong army turned into a long dragon with torches and rushed straight towards Hachimangaara, and Kira Yoshitoki was waiting for this moment, and the army made a posture of crossing the river to lead out the Takeda army for this purpose, and at this time, the military momentum that had been clamoring for a long time suddenly turned. The rear team changed into the front team and went straight to the Takeda army to kill.

However, the Takeda army also seemed to expect them to make this move, and quickly regathered the long snake formation to form a crane wing formation to meet the enemy, and the more than 13,000 people of the Hachimangahara Kamikira army in the middle of the night launched a battle against the 15,000 troops of the Kamitakeda army, and the Takeda Nobushihiro team on the other side of the river also made a posture of crossing the river at this time, ignoring the huge threat of the Kira water army, and insisted on breaking into the main formation of the Kira army from Amamiya.

"Huh! Isn't that similar to the woodpecker's formation? It's just that the main formation has become 15,000 people, and the Einsatzgruppen is 8,000 people...... Interesting! It's so much fun! "Several bonfires were burning in the main camp of the Ohorikan building, and Kira Yoshitoki did not leave the castle at all, and led five hundred horses to guard the castle and suppress the formation. In the dark night, the thousands of cavalry marching on the ground shook Yawatagahara like thunder, and the Takeda army was extremely nervous, holding the position tightly, not daring to take any further steps.

The howling mountain wind was blowing coldly, and the ashigaru people shivered in the cold night. The young recruits were squeezed to the edge of the formation and frozen, and the old pawn shrank in the formation and cursed: "The wind in this night is really evil, and the day is still very warm, and it has only been a few hours before the wind turns around and the northwest wind blows, isn't it going to snow!" If it really snows, this battle will be even more difficult to fight, and I don't know how many of you juniors will make it back alive. ”

The old soldier's unintentional words fell into the ears of the garrison general Nobuharu Baba and another taste, the Takeda army he led is an authentic Kai samurai, except for the garrison Shinano, the treatment in the Takeda family on weekdays is far more than those Shinano's surrender army, has been Takeda Harunobu as a confidant, and now even the Takeda family's team has complained, so there is no need to think about what the Shinano people are like.

Thinking about the conch blowing the deafening drum also sounded at any time, the great suwa Taisha Daisuku commanded four young children to beat the drum desperately in the cold night, the four little dolls trembling in the cold wind, the thin clothes were originally a symbol of the advent of the gods, but in this cold winter solstice season, it was like a broken tent leaking everywhere, and they knew that they were bruised.

The soldiers of the Kira army changed into thicker clothes early, and the samurai were treated even better, and the barrel-shaped carcass was draped over a thick burqa, a white burqa with a family crest on the base, which was loved by the samurai, and extravagant as Takigawa Tokiyi also draped a thick burqa for his mount Matsukaze.

The family crest of the Takigawa family is the pill three lead two licensed by Kira Yoshitoki, anyway, it doesn't hurt that his family pedigree is unknown, he said that he is a Miao descendant of the Bandong Ping clan, and it is not impossible to say that the descendants of Miura three lead two do not know where they are now, even if they know that most of the relatives who have this impersonation will be happy to recognize their relatives, the name of the first general of the Kira family, Takigawa Keijiro, is not blown out.

Takigawa Shiyi is proud, he is invincible, he has never been defeated, and today he once again stands at the forefront of the cone-shaped assault formation, willing to be sharp, looking back and seeing the army of swords and guns like mountains and flags, like a forest of swords and guns, like the steel face of the evil ghost Yaksha, there is a sonorous roar like thunder at the moment: "I Takigawa Keijiro was ordered by the lord to crusade against the rebel Takeda Harunobu, but those who stand in the way will be killed, and the monarchs will follow me closely and follow me to attack!" Whoever takes a few steps slower is not worthy of this armor! ”

"Obey the general's orders, never give up!" Thousands of warriors roared like tigers roaring in the mountains and forests, and in an instant, thousands of cavalry rushed into the formation of steel armor and made a loud noise, the Kira cavalry changed into weapons in hand, nearly half of the samurai gave up the heavy and difficult to hold big guns, holding a hammer staff in their left hand and a fan-shaped shield in their right hand, and a few long knives and battle axes and other fragmentary weapons hung on the saddle, which was a common equipment for elite knights, and a war could not fight without a few spare weapons in hand.

Seeing this, the Takeda army immediately jumped out of seven or eight samurai angrily and responded angrily, as the saying goes, the general is the courage of the soldiers, and the soldiers are bears and bears are in a nest of bears, and the samurai of the Takeda Army hold the heart of losing people and not losing the battle, since one person can't carry you, then seven or eight people will meet it together, even if it is a little embarrassing, it doesn't matter, do they still have a choice when the war comes to this point? Everyone loves a dignified teacher, but what if the conditions don't allow it?

Iitomi Masakai led Takeda Akabi to rush to the front, his left hand side is his brother Iitomi Torama, and on his right hand side is Baba Nobuharu, under his command 3,000 elites against the sharp Kira Akabi rush, the place where the two sides collided happened to be the flattest grassland in Hachiwatahara, and the withered yellow weeds that were originally waist-high were forced out of a road.

The generals of both sides locked on the target at the same time, not to mention that the target was very easy to find, and the white burqa was also very eye-catching, which was simply the best reference in the dark night, only to hear a few generals screaming at zero, and suddenly more than 500 horseback warriors turned over and dismounted, drew their spears and lined up in a gun formation.

The remaining mounted samurai turned to the left and right, turning into a formation from the flanks, and in the blink of an eye, they actually let the Takeda army complete a beautiful tactical encirclement, this improvised pocket formation, Takigawa Shiyi's eyes were full of fanaticism, and he shouted: "Chibei listens to orders!" Spread out and rush left and right! ”

The Akabi armor cavalry immediately divided into two wings and crashed into the two wings of the Takeda army, talking about the means of dealing with the enemy, Takigawa Keijiro, who has been subjected to Yamamoto Tokiyuki and Kira Yoshitoki all the year round, is not inferior to the veteran of the Takeda family, Baba Nobuharu secretly screamed badly, and now the division of troops has been completed, and the short twenty meters cannot be combined in any case, and the samurai on horseback do not even have a chance to brake, and they hit Kira Akabi's forward straight up.

The elite cavalry of the two sides met again, and the knight who rushed to the front saw that he was about to collide but roared excitedly, and the speed did not decrease but increased, driving the galloping war horse to collide head-on with Takeda Akabei, and the instantaneous impact force hit the mount's sternum and fell softly, and the samurai was thrown out by the powerful inertia, and the five or six cavalrymen who were brought in the military formation of Takeda Akabei turned over on their backs.

On the frontal battlefield, the four thousand elite Ashigaru belonging to the Kira Legion carried a large shield and launched a charge, and the left-wing general Ogasawara Nagasawara Nagasaki led the Shinano people to block the Takeda Ashigaru who tried to lean on the cavalry to strangle the battlefield, and the right-wing general Kakizaki Keike looked at the hot eyes and shouted: "Echigo's son followed me and rushed over and cut off the head of the Takeda family, and Shinano's victory or defeat was fought here!"
