Chapter 685: Who is the general of the Oda family?
The concerns of the samurai of the Three Rivers Province are not unfounded.
In the past, when the Oda family's strength was weak, or when they were attacked from all sides, they attached great importance to the Tokugawa family's reliance on the Mikawa samurai.
But will the Oda family, which now has twelve kingdoms, still look down on the Tokugawa family, a small daimyo with only two countries...... They expressed great concern.
It wasn't until they watched Wang Tianxie grab Tokugawa Ieyasu's hand and walk into the main hall as always, that everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Any warrior of the Three Rivers Kingdom with a status above the rank of a high-ranking samurai will be no stranger to Wang Tianxi. The other party has come to help the Tokugawa family many times.
It's just that what makes everyone a little puzzled is that today's Wang Tianxie seems to be a little down?
In fact, it's no wonder they think so.
In their eyes, Wang Tianxie's outfit today was very different from usual, except for the usual silver-white battle armor with an orange magatama on his chest.
At the very least, it's not as elaborate and imposing as it used to be.
Wang Tianxie didn't know that this group of warriors of the Three Rivers Kingdom who wanted to enter Fei Fei stared at him, and he was actually wondering if he was very tight on hand, and he was forced to pawn and sell all the big swords, helmets, and short iron cannons, otherwise he would definitely spray a mouthful of blood ten kilometers away.
In fact, there is no way to do this.
Wang Tianxie didn't expect that he would suddenly explode, and in one fell swoop, Princess Medusa Anong, the pit daddy's little royal sister Lanzi, the long-legged royal sister Ajiuhime, the fairy little royal sister Sakurahime, the eldest sister of the Lori Witch Girl Group Tou Ah Guo, Ah Shi Xiao Lori and others coincidentally became pregnant one after another.
At this moment, Ah Nong naturally couldn't work with the fiery four princesses Butterfly Ji to conjure up a "ghost fire. Butterfly Pill "Short Iron Cannon; Ah Guo can't work with the shy six princesses Ziji to conjure up a "ghost face. Phantom "Battle Helmet; In the same way, Ah Shi can't join forces with the lively little princess Ayahime to conjure up "Magatama. Phantom Jade".
Tianling Da Lori stayed in Azuchi City to take care of the pregnant sisters, so that Oda Nobuko could handle internal affairs with peace of mind, and naturally she couldn't work with the three princesses of foodies to transform into a "demon knife. Oni Shine Pill "Daitai Knife."
Nobuko Oda, who was dealing with internal affairs, often had to go to Osaka Bay or various castle towns to inspect them, although Azuchi Castle had many maids. But there is always a need for someone to call the shots.
As a result, Wang Tianxie went out this time, and only wore the "ghost armor" that Guangxiu Da Lori and the second princess of the belly black, Cui Ji, had conjured up. The illusion "battle armor", as well as the "Magatama" transformed by the combination of Yukihime's little Lori and the five princesses of the god of wealth and Riki. Ligui Jade".
As for the waist, only the famous sword "Hasebe Mitsutada" Daitai Sword, which was temporarily borrowed from Oda Nobuko, remained.
Although he is much weaker than in the past, there are still a lot of demon clan little loli in the army this time, so Wang Tianxie is not too worried.
Just like now, the golden-haired jade-faced sky fox little Lori Chiyoko. surrounded himself into a fox scarf, lazily lying on Wang Tianxie's neck, and played a role in protecting his neck.
Most of Tokugawa Ieyasu's knowledge of war comes from Wang Tianxi. Therefore, at this time, a large map of the topography of mountains and rivers and a simple sand table piled up of sand were already placed in the main hall.
Of course, in Wang Tianxie's eyes, this sand table is far from being carefully explored by the little beauty ninja, and there are a few small loli of the demon clan who have piled up the sand table finely.
"Brother Heavenly Evil. On the 5th of this month, Takeda Katsuyori ordered the lord of Minowa Castle, Naito Masatyo, to issue a rallying order, and on the 12th, he went out with 15,000 troops to cross the summit of Qingboni. Tokugawa Ieyasu took Wang Tianxie to the topography map of the mountains and rivers, and pointed to the location of Kai Province and said to Wang Tianxie.
"Subsequently, he went out in the early morning of the 21st with 15,000 troops, and now he has crossed the Gotanda River, captured Nagashinoshi Castle and Yoshida Castle, and besieged Nagashino Castle, where Okuhira Nobuyama was stationed." Tokugawa Ieyasu pointed to the sand table next to the mountain topography map. While saying heresy to Wang Tian.
However, under the fierce resistance of Nobumasa Okuhira. The little tiger was unable to break through Nagashino Castle, so he lifted the siege of Nagashino Castle and attacked Erenki Castle and Ushikubo Castle to the south, and even tried to cross the Rengo River and march towards Yoshida Castle. Tokugawa Ieyasu continued to talk to Wang Tianxie about the battle situation in the vicinity of Nagashino Castle during the month.
"After more than 20 days of joint battles, my 12,000 Mikawa country samurai captured nearly 1,000 heads of the Takeda family, forcing Takeda Katsuyori to retreat from Shirakuhara across the Rengo River. Re-encirclement of Nagashino Castle. Tokugawa Ieyasu pointed to Yoshida Castle, which was next to Shirakuhara, and continued.
"The current situation is that Takeda Katsuyori's main camp is located in the east of Nagashino Castle, and Nagashino Castle is stationed here to guard the Baba Nobuharu, and there are ...... here," Tokugawa Ieyasu pointed to the small flags surrounding Nagashino Castle in the sand table, and began to tell Wang Tianxie about the layout of Takeda Katsuyori's military formation.
It was obvious that he had already made some preparations, and he was very clear about the Takeda Katsuyori military formation around Long-term City.
"Hmm...... So let's meet the enemy here. As long as we're going to set it up like this here. I will definitely be able to send Katsuyori Takeda back to his lair! Wang Tianxie looked at the sand table and thought about it carefully, then pointed to Shirakuhara on the west side of the Liango River and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Located on the west side of the Rengo River, Shirakuhara is not a very large plain, but a long depression along the banks of the Rengo River that spans north of Yoshida Castle.
Wang Tianxie then explained his strategy to all the warriors of the Three Rivers Kingdom present, such as where to place heavy defenses, where to place fortifications, and how to arrange the Einsatzgruppen.
His explanation made Tokugawa Ieyasu and the samurai of Mikawa Province present nod frequently, and finally regained a trace of confidence.
In fact, although they resisted Takeda Katsuyori's army in Yoshida Castle, they were completely powerless to completely resolve the crisis.
I don't know if it's because "if there is a master, there must be a servant", or because of something more bizarre, the spirit of the samurai of Mikawa Province is bizarre and similar to the attributes of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was furious and could be very fierce in slashing people on the battlefield, and this group of Mikawa samurai could also be very desperate on the battlefield.
However, Tokugawa Ieyasu's forbearance kung fu, which can be called the "big turtle", was also vividly expressed by the samurai of Mikawa Province.
The reason why it was easy for him to be besieged was also because the samurai of the Three Rivers Kingdom here chose to be a turtle with a shrunken head.
The huge Mikawa country and the Enjiang country allowed Takeda Katsuyori to attack and fight all the way, and he didn't fight back even once.
It wasn't until Takeda Katsuyori ran to Nagashino Castle and Yoshida Castle, the last gateways for the Enoe Province to enter the Mikawa Country, that he finally began to resist.
After two days of running-in, Wang Tianxi's 17,000 troops, together with Tokugawa Ieyasu's 10,000 troops, began to advance towards Yoshida Castle, targeting Shirakuhara between Yoshida Castle and the west bank of the Rengo River.
"Sobinge, you lead the cavalry of the four thousand ghost army, attack this position from here, and cut off Takeda Katsuyori's back road for me. Remember, be sure to be secretive. After Wang Tianxie arrived at Yoshida Castle, he instructed Maeda Keiji beside him.
Sobei is the nickname of Keiji Maeda, and since Keiji Maeda is also his childhood friend, as long as it is not a formal occasion, the two of them have always called each other by their nicknames, which makes it more cordial.
"Brother Tianxie is relieved, hum...... It's been a long time since I've cut someone! After listening to Wang Tianxie's instructions, Maeda Keiji hurriedly patted his chest and said.
Then, he carried his three-meter-long Datai knife named "Da Taidian", and rode his famous horse "Songfeng", which was also produced in Nanban.
Wang Tianxie planned to use Keiji Maeda as a special unit, so he was followed by the Oda family's most elite Oda ghost army, not the second echelon of the Oda family.
There is also a reason why only 4,000 men were sent to follow him.
This expedition brought a total of 10,000 Oda ghost troops, of which 3,000 were members of the Iron Artillery Corps, and the remaining 7,000 were mounted cavalry troops.
It's just that 3,000 of these 7,000 cavalry teams can be pulled out at any time to form a cavalry iron artillery team with the iron artillery team. Therefore, in order to give full play to the advantages of the mounted iron artillery team, Wang Tianxie only gave Maeda Keiji 4,000 military formations.
Tokugawa Ieyasu and even the other Samurai of Mikawa Province knew what Keiji Maeda's mission was, so no one had any doubts about his appearance.
Of course, it's one thing not to have doubts, but they are still very worried about the fact that the 4,000 army array will attack the 15,000 Takeda army.
At this time, Takeda Katsuyori was standing in a clearing in the middle of the kite's nest on the east side of Nagashino Castle, looking at the topography map of the mountains and rivers in front of him with great satisfaction.
He never thought that he would one day be able to break into the Far River Kingdom so easily, and even attack all the way to Changxiao City.
At present, all the villages and castles around Nagashino Castle and Yoshida Castle have fallen into the Takeda family's sphere of influence, and as long as Nagashino Castle and Yoshida Castle not far away are captured, the entire Enoe Province will belong to the Takeda family.
In this way, the Takeda clan was relegated to a small daimyo with only the borders of the Three Kingdoms due to the loss of Shinano Province, but they would once again join the ranks of the middle daimyo because they had acquired the more affluent Toe Province.
"Tell the main hall that Tokugawa Ieyasu has entered Yoshida Castle, and the Oda family's five-wheel papaya pattern appears with the army!"
Just as he was about to join Fei Fei, a "Ranbo" ninja suddenly descended from the sky and brought Takeda Katsuyori very bad news.
"Nani? Do you see clearly? Is it the Oda family five-wheel papaya pattern? Takeda Katsuyori was taken aback when he heard the ninja's words, and his face instantly turned dark.
The reason why he dared to go out to Mikawa Province this time was because Sister Uesugi, the dragon girl of Echigo Province, was having fun in Kaga Province and Noto Province, and the Oda family was blooming on both sides in Kii Province and Tanba Province, ready to make a small profit.
In his opinion, since the Oda family dispatched nearly 200,000 troops to make trouble, it was natural that they would not have time to ask for help from their allies, and the two countries of Noto and Kaga were even more distant from Enoe Province in the north and south, and they were completely far away.
"The Oda family is out this time, who is the general general?" Katsuyori Takeda hurriedly asked loudly. (To be continued......)
