Chapter 1133: Battle of Fujigawa
Nomatsudai, the Imagawa family's army has been deployed, and Masara sits on a small dirt slope to control the Chinese army. In front, Nobukatsu Narimatsu, Naoqin I, Shima Zuojin, Maeda Toshike and others, left, center and right are lined up. The cavalry fought hard, and Masato let them rest in this camp.
The losses of the cavalry team were not insignificant, more than 200 rode forward, and more than 150 rode back, covered in blood, and almost everyone was wounded. But with a smile on his face and a high spirit, he declared that we were the victors. When the cavalry passed through the formation, the whole army cheered three times to congratulate the cavalry.
"The three armies are brave, half of the cavalry team is full, and the hundred martial arts are also the champion." When riding a horse to ask for merit, Masahiro replied with praise like this.
On the beach on the shore of the Fuji River, the Takeda army was defeated by the Imagawa family's army, and the corpses were checked, and the Chibei cavalry suffered nearly 100 casualties, while the Imagawa family's army had seventy corpses. The bodies of the Kai warriors were carefully arranged in a row. At this time, the front scout had already come to report, and the Imagawa family's army had finished lining up at Nomatsudai.
The subordinates suffered heavy losses, and Fan Fu Huchang felt a pain in his heart, and said with hatred: "If the army of the Imagawa family wants to fight, we will fight, and our army will take revenge." ”
Immediately, the Takeda Army, under the command of Iitomi Toramasa, consisted of infantry in several phalanxes on the avenue and headed for the battlefield. Iitomi Humasa and Takeda Yoshinobu followed the Chinese army last. In fact, this place was specially reserved for the Takeda Army by Masayo.
Masarashi saw from the clairvoyance that the infantry of the Takeda Army entered the battlefield from the river beach, and the infantry phalanx separated from each other left and right, spread out on the Nomatsu platform, and Akabei entered the battlefield last. The atmosphere of the Takeda Army was a little depressed, and it had just been played by a small setback by the cavalry team. But it continues to be orderly, and Masahiro has only seen it in his own standing before. The number is around three thousand five hundred.
"The Kai elite soldiers that Takeda Shingen has built for more than ten years really deserve their reputation." Masato let go of clairvoyance. He saw the aura of slaughter on the face of the ordinary ashigaru in the Takeda Army. That's the temperament of a veteran who is crawling and rolling in life and death. Takeda Shingen has been on the battlefield since he was sixteen years old. About eighty battles were fought. More wins and fewer losses. The trained soldiers are the elite of the first class in the Warring States.
"This battle is not easy to fight!" The political conscience is conscious, but it is also firm that "this battle must be fought." ”
"Kenkane, what is the biggest feeling that Takeda Jun gives you?" Masara asked, Hyakumi Kenkan.
"Tenacious, very tenacious." Bai Wuxian did not hesitate, "The minister and Chibei fought, and the enemy was killed and wounded dozens of horsemen, and the fighting spirit has not diminished. Of course we are stronger. ”
"Tenacious!" Masarashi looked at the Ii Nao-kin's team arranged on the mountain on his left, which would be his weakness.
Iitomi Toramasa and Takeda Yoshinobu observed the formation of the Imagawa family's army and also came to the conclusion that it was not easy to fight. The terrain is narrow. The forces could not be fully spread out, and the mobility advantage of the cavalry could not be brought into play. In the middle of the Imagawa family's army, the six small gun arrays were particularly dazzling, and the body was more powerful than Chibei. If it was someone else, Rice Fuhu Chang would disdain. But before being defeated by the Imagawa cavalry team, the Imagawa Central Army looked unusually strong at this time, and Iitomi Huchang had to pay attention to it.
Once again, he carefully observed the Imagawa family's large army formation. The middle is the core combat power in the Imagawa family's army, so it is unlikely to break through from the middle, and only open the situation on the two flanks. The army of the Imagawa family arranged on the river beach is decent, and this section of the river beach is full of pebbles, and the red preparation cannot be used. The army of the Imagawa family arranged by the mountain. Iitomi Huchang's evaluation is trash fish.
"Just break through over there." Iifu Huchang took out tactics and discussed with Takeda Nobuyoshi, "The young master will sit in charge of the Chinese army and command the overall situation. After opening the road, I will lead the army directly to take the Imagawa family's main camp,"
"It's feasible, just follow the teacher's tactics." Yoshinobu Takeda said. Before this, he was still confused about being attacked by the Imagawa family (after all, he was here to support the Suruga Imagawa family), why did the Imagawa family's army suddenly attack the allies? But under the persuasion of Fan Fan Fu Huchang, he came to his senses, and the army of the Imagawa family in front of him must be the army of the Imagawa family in Yuanjiang. In this way, he was even more determined to defeat this group of troops and go to the rescue of the Suruga Imagawa family. Even now, he didn't want to believe what Fan Fan Ani Tomoro said that "the Suruga Imagawa family is afraid that there will be more than one bad luck".
"Then I'll give the order to prepare, and then attack the two wings of the Imagawa family's army first." After getting Takeda Yoshinobu's consent, Iitomi Huchang immediately said.
Subsequently, the army of the Takeda family, under the command of Iitomi Toramasa, finally began to act.
On the side of the Imagawa family, Masarashi saw the Takeda family's herald movement from a clairvoyant eye, so he immediately ordered his army to prepare, and the enemy would soon start attacking.
"Bang, bang, bang......" The sound of iron cannons sounded on the other side of the river, and the attention of this side on the left bank was immediately attracted to the right bank, and the left side of the island was fighting before this.
Shimazuo led 700 reserve troops and 100 iron cannons, and the rapid march arrived before the Takeda army. Arrange a spear formation to block the road only fifty meters wide. The spear array is a hundred iron cannons for later generations. The iron artillerymen took advantage of the time they had arrived to pile up pebbles and dirt on the ground, and had made several small grave-like slopes on which they could shoot just enough to shoot from the heads of the pikemen.
When the commander of the Takeda Army on the right bank arrived, he organized a wave of attacks and temptations. About 300 spears were densely packed into a phalanx and attacked. At a distance of 40 meters, the head of the iron artillery group commanded the fire, and more than 20 iron runs rang out at the same time, and several people in the front row of the Takeda Army were immediately put on the ground. However, the line did not stop, and the ashigaru in the back row immediately made up for it. Standing on the slope, the iron artilleryman handed the fired iron cannon to his comrade, took the loaded iron cannon and aimed it, and ordered another shot. The line became a rhythm of one person shooting and three people reloading, and the gunfire kept going.
In a distance of more than 30 meters, Takeda Ashigaru lost more than 30 people. There are many casualties on the first floor, and the ordinary ashigaru has long been dispersed. Takeda Ashigaru supported hand-to-hand combat and collided with Imagawa Reserve. The spears of the Imagawa family's army were more than half a meter longer than the Takeda army, showing their advantage in stabbing them.
"Thorn!" The first row of the Imagawa family's army stabbed out a spear, and Takeda Ashigaru fell like an onion.
The first "stab" shot was light and the gun was confiscated, and the second platoon of the reserve army stepped forward from the gap between the first row of reserve troops and violently stabbed out three spears. The Takeda Army fell a dozen more people. Seeing this, Commander Takeda quickly ordered a retreat. This wave retreated as lightly as a general amnesty, and only about 230 of the 300 people were left to run back.
The Takeda Army on the right bank was not reconciled and gave way to Ashigaru. More than 100 cavalry came out of the formation. Uniform attire of crimson armor. Line up at a position of about 70 meters. Trotting towards the military formation near the left of the island. Fifty meters suddenly accelerated the charge.
Shimazuo was close to commanding the Imagawa spear garrison, which was close together. Squatting on the ground and erecting a hedgehog array. The red horses rushed to the spear formation, pouting their hooves and refusing to move forward. Shot at by the Iron Bubble Soldier. Occasionally, a few spears would be stabbed to the ground when they hit the spear array, throwing off the Akabi samurai on their backs, and then chopping the edges of several spears on the Akabi samurai. The Chibei assault was also not pleased, and quickly retreated.
The Takeda Army on the right bank was again defeated. After two consecutive defeats, Fan Fu Huchang had a bad premonition in his heart. During the Warring States period, the samurai went into battle, and the general's premonition was very important. It can also be said to be a secret letter to Jizhao. Good hunch. There is auspicious Zhao to indicate the prosperity of martial arts. A bad premonition indicates that the battle will be unfavorable or that the military luck will not be there.
"Do you want to withdraw your troops?" Rice Fu Huchang hesitated.
"Teacher, there is no way to break through on the other side, so we can only rely on our side." Yoshinobu Takeda gave a look of please. Iitomi Huchang had no choice but to swallow back the retreating soldiers, whether it was to complete the task of the lord or for the future of his disciples, he had to break through the Imagawa family's blocking army.
Immediately, the sound of the conch in the Takeda army was blown, and then the taiko drum was beaten, and the two wings of each flank were 500 foot light to attack the two wings of the Imagawa family's army.
The formation of the Imagawa family's army is the traditional crane wing formation, and the reserves are lined up. In the formation, long-range units such as bowfoot light are arranged at the front, and ten meters behind are spear foot light formations. Behind them was the samurai regiment of the major generals. The advantage of the formation is that the defense is wide enough, and the disadvantage is that there is insufficient mobility. However, the shortcomings in the small battlefield can be ignored.
Through clairvoyance. After Masara saw Itomi Huchang yelling a few times, the Takeda army sounded the sound of a conch. The two guards broke away from the main formation and began to attack. When marching, he also stepped and shouted, and his morale seemed to be good. Takeda Ashigaru walked to about fifty meters in front of the two flanks of the Imagawa family's army and stopped, and the archery and iron artillery in the reserve ran out of the formation and fired at the Imagawa family's army at a distance of more than 30 to 40 meters. In the United Front Method, the two armies engage in the battle of bows and crossbows first. In the mutual shooting, see who is shaken by the rain of arrows first, and then carry out hand-to-hand combat to break the opponent.
Arrows flew back and forth, people on both sides kept falling, and empty-handed ashigaru shuttled through the gaps in the formation. Whenever someone is unfortunate enough to be shot or shot, they will run over and drag the person behind the formation.
Masarashi paid close attention to the battle situation on both flanks, and on the left flank of the army, the organization of the Ii Naoqin team was low, and the enemy's attack was getting slower and slower, and there were signs of retreat. Ii Naoqin led a dozen samurai to patrol the rear of the Bowfoot Light Line and shout and curse to maintain the morale of his subordinates. On the other hand, the Takeda Army's will to fight was significantly higher, and it continued to reload and shoot expressionlessly under the arrows, and was accustomed to the atmosphere of the battlefield.
On the right flank, the Shima Left Near Team and the Takeda Army were deadlocked, relying on the superiority in numbers, and the station had a slight advantage.
"Elite!" With a reserve of 500 people, he attacked 1,500 people of Jing Yi's direct relatives, and maintained a slight advantage in the temptation, which was admired by the political conscience. In history, Takeda Shingen had such a strong army under him, if it weren't for the lack of heaven, it would be difficult to say who would be under heaven.
On the battlefield, after the bow foot opened the bow for more than ten arrows, the arm strength reached the limit. The general who led the attack on both flanks of the Imagawa family's army drew his sword and pointed forward. The Takeda Ashigaru soldiers lowered their spears and began to advance, and the archers and arrows of both armies retreated to make way for them.
More than 90 percent of the battles in Takeda Shingen's body were active attacks, and his spirit was also transmitted to the soldiers under his command. Two 500-strong reserves, attacking twice and three times the enemy, marched forward in the same way. The team with the weakest organizational strength was instantly beaten into a concave shape. Even if the road is narrow and the proportion of soldiers on the contact surface is low, it is still a great combat power.
"Do you want to send someone to help Inoi-sama?" The retainers of the Imagawa family next to him said worriedly at this time.
"There's no desperate work over there." Masaki denied, "The right-wing Ashigaru was only suppressed by the momentum of the Takeda Army, and after adapting to the pressure, it would become a stalemate with numerical superiority." ”
The development of the battlefield is the same as the judgment of political conscience. Jing Yi Nao personally looked at the retreating Ashigaru line, and hurriedly threw himself into preparing Ashigaru and thickening the formation. He also sent a samurai team to supervise the battle, and quickly recovered the decline and stabilized the front. But at this time, he himself was worried.
"The Takeda Army has only dispatched 500 men, and it is almost necessary to deal with it with all its might, am I the lame leg in this army?" Jing Yi Naoqin thought about shedding a cold sweat, if it was really because of his defeat, the consequences could be imagined.
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and issued an order to the samurai under his command: "Kill all those who retreat." Then he looked at the general Masayo under the banner of the main camp, as if he hadn't noticed this, and his heart fell slightly.
After the Takeda army suffered a certain amount of damage, the general issued an order to retreat. At the same time, in the Takeda Great Array, five hundred Chibei took more than a dozen steps forward to form a charging formation, reached the front of the large array, and entered the attack position. It was used to deter the Imagawa army and prevent the pursuit. Masayo's crane wing array could not be moved lightly, and if a little gap was exposed, it might be interspersed by the Chibei cavalry and suddenly enter, and the formation also issued an order not to allow pursuit.
The two Takeda generals returned to the main formation and knelt under the banner of the Takeda Ryoshi Army to report the battle to Iitomi Toramasa and Takeda Yoshinobu. Iitomi Huchang nodded while listening, and after listening, he said to Takeda Yoshinobu: "The troops of the Imagawa family's army are as expected, the fighting spirit is not high, and the skills are also poor. We made a breakthrough from there. ”
"I'll ask the teacher as soon as I get it!"
The Takeda army blew the conch for the second time, and the five ashigaru teams broke away from the main formation, and a total of 2,005 people pressed towards the Imagawa family's army. Masashi thought that the Takeda Army would still have to test it in the middle lane, "If you dare to come, you can see the power of my army." ”
Immediately, he decided to use this opportunity to inflict great damage on the Takeda army. If it causes a rout, take the opportunity to cover the past, and use the best trailing tactics to cause an avalanche effect.
The Takeda army moved to the left and right halfway through the four divisions, still attacking the flanks of the Imagawa family's army. This time, the Takeda army did not use a bow and arrow to spy first, and directly launched a charge at a distance of thirty meters, attacking the Imagawa family army on both wings.
"Storm the wings and leave the middle? Want to wait for me to support the flanks and break through in the middle with the red cavalry? However, in a small area, the cavalry had no room for maneuver, and the consequences of a head-on collision with a spear formation would not be too good. After seeing that the Imagawa family army was facing the five hundred red cavalry in the hands of Iitomi Huchang, Masato thought secretly.
Bai Wuxian, who was on the side of the river, also followed Zhengliang to fight for several years when he was in the Luo family. Moreover, under his training, the troops under his command formed in Yuanjiang Country are second only to Yuanjiang Bei in combat effectiveness in Yuanjiang's family, and he is also a fierce general. At this time, the Takeda army launched a fierce attack, and he couldn't ask for it, and he didn't keep all the reservations in his hands, and personally arrived in front of the battle to supervise the battle. An attendant advised him to step back and avoid being concentrated by the arrows. Bai Wuxian laughed: "You want me to retreat, unless I die." ”
And on the side of Jing Yi's direct relatives, Masashi took a look at it, and sighed in his heart, "It's going to be bad." ”
I saw that the Imagawa family army over there was being pressed back again and again at this time, and the formation was almost out of touch. If it weren't for the samurai's bullet press, it might have been defeated.
Masahiro called Qiben and said a few words.
Qiben immediately said, "Ha! A few times in the formation, more than fifty flags ran to the back of the left flank formation, lined up and showed long knives.
Jing Yi Naoqin also happened to look back at this time, and immediately found that the killing intent of the flag from this town was obvious, and if he retreated, he would also be ruthlessly killed. And look at the mysterious general standing in this formation, there is no panic in the slightest.
So he immediately swallowed his saliva and shouted to his subordinates on the left and right: "More than a year ago, I received the great favor of the Yuanjiang Imagawa family, and now is the time to repay it. I will not stop anyone who wants to go, and I will take the lead among those who remain. ”
Everyone was a colleague from the Toe Imagawa family, and they were silent. Jing Yi Nao himself acquiesced, and pulled out the sword: "Your future is here to fight, follow me forward to plug the gap." "Naoqin Ii threw in the last of his strength. The formation barely held up, but it didn't last long.
At this time, the left flank had also reached the point where it had to support, and Masara immediately ordered: "The bow and arrow reserve army went forward and went around to the side of the left flank Takeda army to shoot the Takeda army." ”
