Chapter 1143: The Battle of the Snowy Night (For the New Helmsman 'dscfd')

"Yes."

In the Tokugawa family's main camp, after realizing the determination of the family governor Tokugawa Ieyasu to fight to the death with the Takeda family, Hanzo had to get down on one knee and promise, but he still seemed to have something to say.

"Are you as timid as Shirozo?" Tokugawa Ieyasu said awe-inspiringly. Hanzo stared at Tokugawa Ieyasu for a moment, and then stood up resolutely.

"Zhongzuo!" Tokugawa Ieyasu let out a loud shout.

"Yes."

"If this continues, there will be no fighting. You and Shibata go to the front first, and Ishikawa Shu is preparing the iron cannon in front of the battle. ”

"Yes."

"With the sound of iron cannons as a signal, I also led the personal guards forward. Let all be prepared to die in battle. Go ahead! ”

"Yes."

The wind grew louder and louder, and the sky was as dark as dusk. Okubo and Shibata led about 200 Ashigaru samurai to set off first. Other generals had to follow.

"Tom tom! Tom tom! ”

The sound of iron cannons as a signal was first fired from the left flank of Ishikawa Shumasa's army into the formation of Takeda's vanguard Oyamada Nobushige. There was a loud cry from both sides, and the trumpets overpowered the wind and whined. The battle flags of both sides were rapidly approaching. Powder snow flutters in the wind......

Tokugawa Ieyasu rode on horseback and watched the battlefield. There was an enemy army rushing towards the team of Fan Xiu who was tied with a draw. The cry of the cold wind and the neighing of the war horses intertwined above Nagajogahara......

"Report!"

"Report it."

"Ishikawa Sumasa has launched an attack on Masashige Wayama and Koyamada."

"Good!"

"Report!"

"Report it."

"When Ishikawa was about to defeat the Oyamada army, Watanabe Hanzo attacked from the right rear, and the Oyamada army had collapsed."

"Good. Sue sΓΉ Hanzo. Don't take half a step back. ”

"Report! The Oyamada army was defeated. The enemy switched to the team of the Baba Nobu. ”

"Got it. Immediately ordered Xiaoping to approach the other party too and never take half a step back. "The time is near. The snow gradually became thicker, and the vision became more and more blurred, but the military situation sent to Tokugawa Ieyasu was not so tragic. Heaven seems to be beginning to favor him!

"Report! Yasumasa Kamihara and Tadashi Okubo have joined forces to defeat the Baba Nobubo. ”

"Good!"

"Report!"

"Report it."

"Pingshou Fanxiu was stoned by more than 300 enemies and asked for reinforcements."

"What? ...... with stones Oda's reinforcements are about to collapse? Tokugawa Ieyasu looked to the right, "Let Tadaji go to the rescue." Saying this, Tokugawa Ieyasu was shocked in his heart. To the left of the tie is Sakuma Morimasa. As soon as Sheng Zheng is defeated, the enemy will go straight to his personal guard.

"Okay, I'll go too. Blow the trumpet. ”

"Yes."

Just as the guards answered, in the snowstorm, a warrior came like a snowman and shouted, "Wait! Wait......"

The man turned over and dismounted in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu, "Please watch the battle, and never let the personal guards advance." ”

When Tokugawa Ieyasu saw that it was Sakai Saemon Lieutenant Tadaji, he immediately reprimanded, "Why did you leave the team?" Scoundrel! ”

"Please rebuke me. But don't push it any further. It was nearly dusk, and the wind and snow made it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. We have made this a place to fight to the death. Please don't get involved, and continue to watch the battle. ”

"Report!" At this time. A cavalryman staggered over and dismounted.

"The armies of Sakuma and Takigawa were forced to retreat under the attack of Koyamada."

"Withdraw?" Before Tokugawa Ieyasu could speak, Tadaji shouted first.

"Tadaji, you'll be back immediately."

"Oda's reinforcements are really useless!"

"Less nonsense! I will go and blow the trumpet. Tokugawa Ieyasu shouted, and finally joined the melee.

Seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu's banner move, Takeda immediately sent the famous general Yamaguchi Masakai. Shanxian led the three parties of the Shanjia who arrived in the Dongsanhe area first, and the three parties of Zuoshou, Changxiao, and Tian Feng stood out solemnly.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the sky and earth were gray. Tokugawa Ieyasu and the guards rode straight forward: "Don't retreat, move forward!" ”

The three sides of the mountain family shouted and surrounded Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Tokugawa Ieyasu angrily raised his spear. Heavy snow fell on the helmet, and it was snow-white.

"Protect your lordship!"

"Protect the lord!"

Okubo Tadashi and Kamihara Yasumasa jumped on their horses and came in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu. The vanguard of Takeda Shichite gradually showed signs of collapse.

"Now is the time to defeat them, get on!" Tokugawa Ieyasu jerked up and waved his horsewhip.

"Lord, danger! Do not go deep into enemy lines. "When Yasumasa was about to block Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Ieyasu's mount was already rushing into the enemy line like an arrow from a string. He seemed to say "keep up," but the sound was drowned out by the howling wind. The Takeda Army was split in half in the face of the sharp offensive of the Okazaki people.

At this moment, another group of fish scale troops suddenly appeared in front of them. The horse seal written in black on a white background and white on a black background, that person is undoubtedly Takeda Shiro Katsuyori.

"Well deserved!" Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't help but admire on horseback. Although many teams were defeated, the overall formation was still in order, and it turned out to be an extraordinary formation.

Takeda Shiro Katsuyori had about 4,000 men, and Tokugawa Ieyasu tightened the reins of his horse and prepared to retreat. At this time, the people and horses of the once scattered mountain county suddenly blocked the way and rushed towards him. Looking to the right hand, I saw that Sakai Tadaji's men and horses had also been blocked and began to disperse.

Of course, Takeda Shingen will not let go of this great opportunity. He cried out in his tent, "Call the remnants of Ganley!" "After the death of Ganli Yoshiharu, the rest of the army was led by the descendants of Yonekura Dan, who had been in charge of transporting grain and grass until then.

"Danhou, you don't care about the grain and grass, pick up the spear immediately. Today's campaign is coming to an end. ”

Soon after Tango went out, it was getting dark. The spears of the rest of Ganli's army made the victory of the Takeda people even clearer.

"Bring them to the edge of a precipice, and gather the generals." Takeda Shingen ordered as he listened to the chaotic fight with Lu.

At this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu's figure had disappeared. Tadashi Torii shouted, "My lord! Do you think I'm a coward? "After that, he died in battle; Immediately afterwards, Matsudaira Yasumi also dyed the snow red with his young blood. Yonezawa Masanobu died in battle. Masayoshi Naruse is also dead. After throwing down about three hundred more bodies. The Tokugawa army was scattered. Tokugawa Ieyasu rode frantically to the edge of the rhino cliff. He was followed by only Tadayo Okubo.

"My lord! Don't stop. "The enemy is coming up, there is water behind you, run, run!" ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu deliberately stopped his horse and looked behind him. His expression was terrifying, his eyes burning with flames, and his face tense. The voice seemed to be cracked: "Is it Zhongzhen after the break?" ”

"Exactly." Chungse replied.

"I can't rest assured. I'll take a look. ”

"Your Excellency!" Tadashi stood in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu with a stern expression. Under the light of the snow, the sky and the earth are very bright, and you can see people moving, and many people have fallen off the cliffs. "You're not like you are usual. I will accompany you to withdraw to the city at once. ”

"No!" Tokugawa Ieyasu roared again, feeling sad and pitiful.

Suddenly, three black shadows stood in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"!" Tokugawa Ieyasu roared as he raised his spear and stabbed at one of the shadows. Tadashi Okubo took the lead in attacking the other two shadows.

"My lord, let's go!"

"No!" Tokugawa Ieyasu thought that his fate was sealed, and he seemed to have made up his mind and did not take a step back. Two more dark shadows rushed from the edge of the cliff.

"Oh. Is it an adult? "Tadashi Okubo and Naito Masanari, the sons of Tadashi Okubo and Naito Masanari, who were originally Tokugawa Ieyasu's cavalry guards, both lost their mounts. Hike here. Their armor and helmets were stained black in clumps, presumably blood clots.

"Your Excellency...... Tadashi Honda has died in battle. ”

"So, who's breaking off?"

"It's Nobunari Naito. Lord, retreat quickly! ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu stood there for a moment, motionless. He was even more determined not to back down. Is this the end of my life? His blood suddenly boiled: "Loyal neighbor, Zhengcheng, return immediately!" Help the letter to succeed! ”

"Your Excellency!" The loyal neighbor shouted again, "My lord is really confused. Zhongzhen and Xincheng fought desperately because they wanted the adults to retreat to the city safely. Don't you understand? ”

"Loyal neighbor, shut up." Chungse reprimanded, "My lord, please quickly withdraw to the city!" ”

As soon as Zhongshi took the reins of his horse, there was a sudden sound in the bushes in his right hand. It was the ambush of Takeda Obababa and Kohata. "Tokugawa Ieyasu is here! Don't let him escape. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu looked back. At this moment, a "bang" gunshot rang out, shaking the surroundings. The projectile whizzed against the horse's head and hit the cliff. The war horse roared and soared into the air, like a towering tree. Hearing this signal, a rain of arrows suddenly shot in the direction of Joyian.

The cavalry warriors and personal guards have been locked in a melee with the enemy, and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. Tokugawa Ieyasu threw away his spear and drew his knife sharply. He was about to jump off his horse when a man ran towards his horse with a shout.

"My lord! I'm late. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't see each other clearly at all. In the darkness, he found that his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "Who? ”

"Natsume Masayoshi came to welcome the adults back to the city."

"Shut up!"

"My lord! I brought twenty-five horsemen. It will definitely be able to block the enemy. Please return to the city immediately! ”

"Nope! Do you think I'm going to survive? Scoundrel! ”

"What?" Masayoshi's eyes widened suddenly, "I'm really dizzy." Are adults a pawn? ”

"What? You say I'm a pawn? ”

"Yes, pawn!" Natsume Masayoshi's whole body trembled, and he roared angrily, "Isn't it a pawn that my lord only cares about a moment of righteousness and forgets the great responsibility of commanding the whole army?" ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu trembled, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Don't hesitate. I'll dress up as you. Fast! Masakishi rudely turned Tokugawa Ieyasu's horse's head towards Okazaki Castle and stabbed his spear into the horse's tail.

War horses galloped along the snow-covered road on the edge of the cliff. Tokugawa Ieyasu seemed to be still yelling at something, but his horse was whipped by the father and son who were close behind him, and he kept galloping forward. After his figure disappeared, Natsume Masakichi jumped on horseback.

"Tokugawa Ieyasu is here, come here if you don't want to die!" His voice echoed through the snow, he raised his spear, and in an instant he picked two enemies off his horse.

"This is the last battle I'm waiting for. Everyone, rush! "Twenty-five horsemen rushed into the enemy line together. In less than half a moment, Natsume Masayoshi and twenty-five others went to another world.

The Takeda Army is still stubbornly pursuing. During this period, Yasukei Amano once caught up with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Naruse Koyoshi once surpassed Tokugawa Ieyasu. Okubo was gone, and only Tadashi remained with Tokugawa Ieyasu. In order to motivate everyone, Takagi Kusuke deliberately scurried around on the way. He held up the head of a monk who he got out of nowhere: "Koshu Kusuke has taken the head of Takeda Shingen......"

Tokugawa Ieyasu stopped in front of the Okazaki Hachimansha Daikushu tree, and by this time, the people were extremely tired, and the war horses were shivering in the cold wind. He dismounted and rested for a moment, then entered Okazaki Castle with a blank face. This battle can be said to be a complete defeat.

Only Takagi Kusuke was still shouting loudly in the darkness: "Takagi Kusuke has taken the head of Takeda General Takeda Shingen. Your Excellency has returned to the city. Open the door! ”

Snowflakes loom over the city of tragedy.

Anxious, Tokugawa Ieyasu could no longer remember how the gates were opened. When he came back to his senses, he found himself in the city like a lost dog.

"Your Excellency, you're already in town. Please dismount. Tokugawa Ieyasu looked intently and saw Okubo Tadashi staring at him with burning eyes. He obediently got off his horse. The city was quiet, and the treetops were covered with snowflakes.

"Why don't you go?" It was another stern rebuke from Zhongshi. But Tokugawa Ieyasu was completely prostrate, and he didn't even know if he was alive or dead. He gambled a lot in this decisive battle, but lost a lot.

"Your Excellency!" Tadashi patted Tokugawa Ieyasu on the shoulder with his hand, and suddenly laughed loudly, "My lord, you are such a fool. ”

"What?"

"Look, there's your poop in the saddle. Ah, it stinks! ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu finally opened his eyes violently. He staggered to the saddle and touched it, and shouted, "Bastard! That's miso soup. As he spoke, he slapped Tadashi with a "snap", as if he had regained his vigor and vitality, "Uemura Masakatsu and Yasukei Amano went to guard the gate." Yuan Zhong! ”

"Yes."

"You go to the entrance."

Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered Mototada, who was running over, to "open the gates." Pile up all the firewood and light it, and carefully check every person who has withdrawn, so that no enemy can enter the city. ”

After giving a categorical order, Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly sat down on the steps. Chungse hurriedly ran over and took off his shoes for him.

"Muddy, I even said it was poop." Tokugawa Ieyasu scolded and got up, and walked straight to the hall, "Bring hot water." He yelled at the grinding subordinate. Meals are served. The first bowl of rice was quickly eaten, and the second bowl came again.

"Is the campfire burning?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked Tadashi, who was still a little stunned.

"It was a terrible defeat." Zhongshi suddenly burst into tears. Tokugawa Ieyasu finally regained his anger, he was not a mere lord. Chungse was glad that the joke about feces had a stimulating effect.

"Bring another bowl." Tokugawa Ieyasu ate three bowls of rice in succession, "Listen, I'm going to rest." You don't have to make a fire. With that, he immediately lay down.
