Anhara Tadayin is still quite self-aware, he knows very well that he does not have the ability and wrist of his uncle Taiyuan Xuesai, and the reward he relies on is so unfair in the eyes of other genealogical retainers, and it is inevitable to bear a heavy psychological burden when he walks to the position of the general in the huge criticism.

As a local indigenous samurai, Anbara Tadashi was still able to distinguish where it was more powerful to meet the Takeda army, and this place was chosen to be stuck on the only way for the Takeda army to march, so it took a lot of effort to arrange, on the surface, the location of this camp was an attempt to lure the Takeda army into Suruga Province to attack it, but in fact this was the last line of defense of Sunfu.

Anhara Tadashi's idea is still according to the old routine of the past, that is, to show each other that the chariots and horses are fighting hard, the Imagawa family relies on the geographical advantage and the morale of the land protector is higher, the Takeda army dares to rush over and hit you back with a fat beating, even if you can't beat the Takeda army, you can always rely on the Satai Pass to defend to the death, and one day the Takeda Shingen will be consumed and retreated.

But he didn't understand a truth, the war was far from being as simple as he imagined, this was not the Genpei Kamakura era when the two sides set up a position to play a horse to fight, the morale of the victorious side was greatly boosted and the whole army assault was launched to lay the victory in one fell swoop, with the progress of the samurai society gradually enriched the new tactical system, marching and fighting is no longer based on the success or failure of individual martial arts, but on military strategy, strategy and the wrist of the emperor and other considerations.

The main force of Anhara Tadashi was in charge of the defense of Satagawa Pass, and Ogura Uchizozo Shihisa and Okabe Tadabei Naoki were in charge of the defense of Hachimantai in the northern part of Satahara Pass, and as the governor of the family, Imagawa Shinya went out with the army. It's just that he can't stand the fact that a group of men live together in the stinky barracks in the military. He chose to set up his headquarters in Kiyomi Temple, not far from the Satado Pass.

Imagawa Shin himself is extremely bad at military strategy. In addition to the 15,000 army led by Anhara Tadayin, this time he also moved his 3,000 main formations to Kiyomi Temple, which was left to him by his father.

When discussing with his henchmen, the Imagawa clan said: "The Takeda army has 16,000, and the main family has 18,000, in terms of troops, our army seems to be more than the Takeda army!" Even if they can't win against the Takeda Army, they will definitely be able to keep them out of Suruga Province! I hope that Anfang Shou will not live up to the expectations of his family. Guard this pass for my Imagawa family. ”

In front of the governor who lacked this kind of military knowledge, it seemed a bit nonsense to expect him to be able to boost morale, and when Takeda Shingen slaughtered 16,000 troops in a mighty manner to kill Satado early the next morning, the Imagawa clan was still immersed in a wonderful sleep and did not wake up, this pampered noble son slept in an unfamiliar room last night and did not sleep peacefully, and he wanted to sleep a little more at this time to make up for a beauty sleep.

Takeda Shingen personally led the army out of the battle, but Anhara Tadashi was not lightly frightened, and hurriedly ordered the generals of each formation to be vigilant and strictly guarded, and not to be careless and mess up the formation, the Takeda army on the opposite side did not seem to take the Imagawa army on the Satado Pass in their eyes at all, even if there were 15,000 troops on the opposite side, there was no intention of adjusting, so they ordered the Baba Minbu Shosuke Nobuharu, Naito repair Ryo Masatyo, Akiyama Hakuki Nobutomo, and Mieda Kanto Captain Shoutomo by Saemon Captain Shouyu as the four people in the vanguard. Straight to the Satay Pass to attack.

The first round of engagement between the two sides kicked off in the blind fire of the iron artillery team, and the iron cannon of the ping-pong boomed non-stop. The four seemingly unconnected vanguards actually echoed each other from afar, and each salvo was aimed at a little fire in the vanguard of the Imagawa army, although the effect was not very good, but it could also be regarded as a better comfort than nothing.

Anhara Tadayin didn't have such high-end and high-grade iron cannon tactics, but just let the iron guns of the various reserve teams get together and shoot the lead bullets, as if it was not to shoot with iron cannons anymore but just to use this thing to make a noise to boost their morale, and the end of an iron cannon fire with symbolic meaning far greater than the actual effect means that the real engagement will begin.

The samurai of both sides lined up in three gun teams to confront each other, and the slow pace of the attack lasted for a whole morning, this kind of war of attrition with no bells and whistles and few losses was very boring, until Imagawa really woke up for lunch and received a slowdown in the offensive of both sides, and it seemed that they were ready to retreat and have lunch before continuing the battle.

But at this time, a very strange thing happened, the four generals of the Imagawa army, Sena Nobuyuki, Asahina Shinji, Miura Yoshikagami, and Katsuyama Shimoto, suddenly broke away from the retreat sequence without authorization and began to retreat backwards in great strides.

Anhara Tadayin ordered the front line to withstand the attack of the Takeda army, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly notify several generals to stop retreating!" The Takeda military envoy is back to kill! ”

But his general order seemed to be thrown into the water and received no answer at all, and these four generals and the rest of the dozen or so commanders gathered more than 8,000 troops and retreated backwards with their heads down, barely explaining that they were going to eat and did not stop to make corresponding adjustments, which made Anhara Tadayin begin to doubt their motives.

"Where are they retreating, and why are they listening to the general's orders? Look at their stance, whether it lures the enemy deep and then attacks left and right, or is it some strange tactic? But why had Ben never heard them mention this contingency, and if they continued to retreat like this, they would have to withdraw from Satan? ”

Anhara Tadayin was sweating profusely, originally this 15,000 army was hard to resist the 16,000 troops of the Takeda army, and it was a big problem to let these people take away the 8,000 army to expect these 7,000 people to be able to hold for a long time, he suddenly felt that fighting for this general seemed to be not lightly pitted, and he didn't have enough prestige to support it, and he wanted the next general to be simply asking for trouble.

The emissaries sent out came back in waves, but still did not bring any accurate recovery, and seeing that these people were really about to withdraw from the Satta Pass, Anhara Tadayin finally realized that he had been fooled, and said angrily: "The general said that their actions were strange. Looking at the direction of their retreat, it seems that they are going to the lord! Are they going for the lord? These traitors! I will never let you go! ”

The samurai of the Imagawa army panicked. Anhara Anbo Shou Tadayin also had no intention of continuing to fight. Immediately ordered the whole army to retreat to protect the main camp of Kiyomiji Temple to protect the Imagawa clan, and the retreat of the Imagawa army seemed to be completely expected by the Takeda army, and Takeda Shingen ordered these four formations to continue to bite the tail of the Imagawa army as the vanguard and continue the pursuit.

This run chased all the way to the outside of Sunfu Castle, and the Imagawa clan, who had just taken over the position, learned that the twenty-one powerful retainers of the lineage, including Sena Nobuyuki, Asahina Shinji, Miura Yoshikagami, and Katsuyama Clan, all defected to the Takeda family, and this betrayal also gave the Takeda army 8,000 elite troops together, which was really a great gift to the Takeda army.

When the Imagawa clan heard the news, they almost fainted, and in the evening there was a rumor that the townspeople were walking through the streets that the four generals of the Takeda Army appeared in Uhachihara, near Sunpu Castle. This news shook the Imagawa family, and the Imagawa clan hurriedly convened a military meeting to discuss countermeasures.

At the same time, another bad news came from Enoe, Matsudaira Ieyasu of Mikawa seemed to smell some blood, so he took advantage of the gap of the Takeda army's large-scale invasion to immediately gather 6,000 troops, and gathered in the Yoshida area of Mikawa Province near the border of Enoe Province, and it seemed that he had the posture of taking advantage of Imagawa's illness to kill him.

Another bad news also came from the Enoe country, seeing that Fucheng was in the Banhori Koshirokuro clan Yan, the lord of Inimajo Castle (Hikima Castle) Iio Toyozen Shouryū, the lord of Inui Castle Amano Miuchi Uemon Keiguan, the lord of Sasupao Castle Amano Yasuki Shouhujing, and a large number of Toe people from the country of Toe who were killed by the family governor, it seems that this should also be one of Takeda Shingen's strategic strategies.

The Imagawa clan was so panicked that they couldn't even speak, but you can imagine how chaotic this generation of retainers has become. If he hadn't invited his old and frail grandmother Imagawa Shouguini to live in the town, I am afraid that even this symbolic military meeting would not have been successfully held. Even so, the retainers of the spectrum are still fried into a pot of porridge.

Okabe Mino Morimasa of the Lord's Harmony faction said: "Mikawa rebelled against Enoe, and now Suruga Province has fallen into the invasion of the Takeda Army, and we can rely on the Hojo Sagami Hall to face the invasion of the Kira Army and cannot withdraw, so it seems that we have no way to retreat, and the only way to do this is to seek peace with the Takeda Daizenden in exchange for a decent position!" I don't think that with the in-law relationship between my Suruga Imagawa clan and the Kai Takeda clan, it shouldn't cause me to die. ”

Yubi Dewa Masasumi is obviously a main battle faction, he fiercely objected: "I have never heard of the invasion of the robbers at home, not only did not raise the sword and gun in his hand but took the initiative to ask the robbers for peace, although my Imagawa family is embarrassed and helpless, but this is not my Imagawa family has no chance of winning, as long as we endure the temporary hardship, take the initiative to besiege Sagami town government to send a letter of help, presumably the town government guild will give some preferential treatment for the sake of the same clan, and let the reinforcements of Hojo Sagami Mamoru enter Suruga to fight." ”

This is an idealistic rhetoric that is exactly in line with the true appetite of the Imagawa clan, so he immediately agreed with Yubi Masamune's opinion, which made some of the samurai of the main and faction feel very disappointed, and many of the samurai of the main and faction left the palace and threw themselves into the arms of the Takeda army outside the city, and the samurai who still held on to the castle were also facing great psychological pressure.

As soon as the sky dawned the next morning, the main formation of the Takeda Army on Uhachihara had swelled from the initial 16,000 people to more than 26,000 people, and the extra 10,000 people were naturally the true friendship and dedication of the Imagawa clan, and many samurai of the Takeda Army were so excited that they almost stayed awake all night, and no one thought that this Imagawa family would be a strong man of paper paste.

It's just that it collapses like this at the slightest touch, this action is not even a warm-up exercise for the Takeda army, and the fierce battle of Kawanakajima is enough to complete this kind of small battle for more than eighteen streets, just in just a few days, a small-scale and low-intensity joint battle swallowed half of Suruga, which is even faster than the actions of the Kira army in Musashi Province.

The cost of expansion is too low, so that the Takeda army can not suppress the birth of greater ambitions, swallow Suruga in one bite and swallow Enoe and then wait for the opportunity to invade Mikawa, you can easily complete a breakthrough, and then completely get rid of the Kira family's strong clamp on Kai Province, this idea is not only the Takeda retainers think so, but Takeda Shingen himself also has a little ambition to dominate Tokaido.

Takeda Shingen did not intend to give the Imagawa clan more time to think about life choices, he ordered Takeda Shinshige to lead 5,000 troops to attack the 7,000 defenders of Anbara Anbo Mamoru Tadashiin, after the ugly war in Satado Pass, it was enough for the Takeda army to have a full understanding of the level of the Imagawa army, and sending Takeda Nobuyoshi's 5,000 elites to deal with the 7,000 panicked defenders was already a very cautious countermeasure, and under normal circumstances, sending a few thousand national troops or even the Suruga ancestors in the city could deal with them.

Takeda Nobu didn't mind pulling his own sons out to practice at this time, and the five thousand troops launched an attack posture to collapse the unwarlike Anbara army as soon as they engaged, and the weakness of the Imagawa army's fighting will greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, and there were signs of retreat to varying degrees almost at the moment of engagement, and from beginning to end, no samurai took the initiative to meet the battle, and the samurai did not rush to expect the peasants to rush? As soon as the peasants saw that the situation was not good, they immediately turned around and fled back to Junfu Castle in a hurry.

The assassin's Sunfu castle town was also in chaos, the samurai Ashigaru who was about to flee back to the city and the townspeople who were about to flee were crowded together, the samurai and Ashigaru wanted to escape in and the townspeople fled to the outside, both sides were crowded and did not want to let the other party make the whole Sunfu castle chaotic at all, the ministers, monks and cultural people who had been staying in Sunfu Castle all the year round were frightened to hide in the house and pretend that they did not exist, and the young women who were dressed up beautifully did not dare to go out, and the social order of Sunfu almost collapsed.

Yubi Zhengchun, who had only been the elder of the family last night, hurriedly suggested: "My lord! Takeda Shingen's army is about to enter the city, so it is not advisable to stay here for a long time! His Majesty specially urges the lord to move to other cities immediately, no matter what, this Junfu City must not stay any longer! ”

Imagawa really fully understood the danger he encountered, and he could no longer afford to have any thoughts of fighting to the death or committing suicide, and he suddenly remembered the tragic death of his wise and martial father, his two good brothers-in-law, Yoshiyasu Kira and Yoshinobu Takeda, and the two hateful faces of Matsudaira Ieyasu and Takeda Shingen, and what way they would be humiliated if they caught him.

At this critical moment, the Imagawa clan finally showed some of the abilities of the family governor, and suddenly remembered that his righteous brother Asahina Tai Chao was the only genealogical important minister who could be trusted, and Asahina Tai Chao's mother was the niece of Imagawa Shou Guini, and it happened to be a very close kinship relationship with the Imagawa clan, and it was completely okay to even call it Miyuo.

Jun Yuansan fell into chaos at the same time, forcing the Imagawa family to a dead end and pushing the Imagawa clan to the cliff, thinking of the fate of becoming the governor of the dead country, the Imagawa clan really hurriedly said: "Retreat to Kakegawa Castle, only Asahina Beizhong is the general that the family can rely on!"
