Tokaido, Imagawa Iejunfu Castle.

In the early morning of the third day after the negotiation with Shou Guini was concluded and the Imagawa family was officially declared to be over, Masara changed his clothes, washed up, put on his armor, and walked out of the Honmaru of Sunpu Castle. At this time, the flag leader Bai Wuxian led more than a hundred Luo family flag books wearing Imagawa family clothes to kneel on both sides and wait.

"Lord, the army is ready and ready to go."

"Are the horses ready?" Masara asked.

"In the previous battle, a lot of horses were captured from the families of the resisting samurai, and the two hundred horsemen of the Banner team and the Imagawa family were satisfied, but they were not familiar with horse nature." Bai Wuxian replied. Due to the reason that he came to Tokaido secretly, the horses of the Luo family's riding standing team did not follow, and only brought standing horses (that is, some people did not have horses).

"You can get acquainted with the horse while walking on the road." The horses of the Warring States were short like donkeys and were easy to ride.

"Let's go!" Masara took the lead and walked down the stairs to join the army he had brought from the Luo family outside the city.

Sunpu Castle was already in hand, and after Masarashi left a part of his army to defend Sunfu Castle, he brought with him 300 standing troops (100 iron cannons and 200 cavalry troops), 500 standing troops of the Toe Imagawa family, 1,500 troops of the Toe Imagawa family, 1,700 temporary troops, and 1,500 Suruga Imagawa Suruga troops, a total of 5,500 people marched to the Fujigawa Mountain Road.

The significance of this battle is no less than the Nagashino battle in history. Blocking the Fujikawa mountain road and meeting the forces of the Takeda family who came with the slogan of supporting the Suruga Imagawa family.

"This battle is related to the future of our family, you should unite as one and fight bravely to kill the enemy." Masato inspects the military situation under the city. The front of the whip is "Out of battle!" ”

"Hey~hey~roar~~" 5,500 troops shouted at the same time.

Zhengliang took the lead. Qiben and the cavalry team followed closely behind. The rest of the people followed in turn. For many people in the Imagawa family. Masarashi is actually very mysterious, so far, everyone only knows that Masarashi is the new military advisor of the Imagawa family, and he is fully responsible for this battle against the Takeda family, although all the Imagawa family retainers have doubts about Masara's command ability, but since everyone in the Imagawa family who defeated them before is so obedient, as the defeated they naturally dare not say much.

The army advanced along the seashore and bypassed Mount Omaru. Mt. Fuji is shaking. At this time, the lord of Kawairi City led two hundred troops under the command of Bi Zhengxin to take refuge. This time, the army traveled all the way east, and it was quite smooth. With the unification of the Imagawa family, Masato issued a large number of documents in the name of Imagawa Burial Zero, and Imagawa Burial Zero, as the identity of the second son of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and the status of heir, was even more helped and recognized by Shou Guini, so the Higashi-Suruga wealthy clan did not have much resistance, and they were all very obedient and recognized the identity of the new governor of Imagawa Burial.

Yubi Masanobu is the head snake of Higashi Suruga, and his help is very important. So Masarashi beckoned him to the front of the car and asked, "Is Yubi-sama familiar with the terrain around Mt. Fuji?" ”

"Hah! Grew up here under it. Every grass and tree is in the minister's head. Yubi Zhengxin was afraid that Zhengliang would not believe it, so he pointed to the northeast and said, "That mountain over there is Yuqi Mountain, as the name suggests, it is used to pray for rain." At the same distance to the north, after the Fuji River is Mt. Hoshi, and further north is the ......" Yubi Masanobu is gushing again.

"Alright, alright." Masarashi hurriedly interrupted him, Yubi Masanobu's ability to ignore for the time being, at least he was familiar with the geography of this place, "Yubi-sama, where is the most powerful place to spread out the army in the Fujigawa Mountain Road?" ”

"Hah! In the Fujikawa mountain road, only the Shimo-Inago area opposite Mt. Shiratori can spread out a small number of troops. ”

"Okay, let's go wherever we go, please let Lord Yubi lead the way." Masara said.

"But it's the area of the Takeda family, and if you go, Shin Gengong may be angry." Yubi Zhengxin hesitated, and his eyes returned to the army behind Xia Zhengliang. Compared with the Takeda family in his impression, he thought to himself, "It's almost okay, but the number of people is too small." ”

"Bold, just listen to the orders of the adults, where did the nonsense come from." Bai Wuxian was not used to Yubi Zhengxin's hesitant appearance, and raised his gun and scolded.

"Huh! Be virtuous and not rude. Masarashi motioned to Hyakkutake Kenkan to put down his spear, and said with a pleasant face and Yubi Masanobu, "Yubi-sama, if you don't go to us, will Takeda Shingen not come?" ”

"What did you say?"

"I'm afraid Yubi-sama doesn't know, but a large army that Takeda Shingen has already sent from Kai Higasakikan to Suruga, I'm afraid they will arrive here soon." At this time, the news that the army sent by Takeda Shingen to fight Suruga had indeed not completely spread from the Kai region, and if it weren't for the fact that the Luo family had always had a basic intelligence system in the Kai region, I am afraid that Masarashi would not have known the news so quickly.

"Huh?"

The samurai of the ancient Warring States period rarely had a big picture, and those who had a little bit of a big picture were either famous generals or peerless military advisors, such as Takenaka Hanbei and Kuroda Takataka, Takeda Shingen, etc. Zhengliang is not to blame Yubi Zhengxin for being stupid, and if he is not a traverser, he will not be any better.

"Yubi-sama, please lead the way." Masarashi repeated.

"Hah!" Although he was suspicious of the words of Masaliang, the general of the Imagawa family who suddenly appeared, Yubi Masanobu did not dare to refuse at this time, so he immediately began to lead the way.

It is said that the Warring States area is small, but how small is it? From Takeda Castle's main castle, the Suruga Plains can be reached in just 50 to 60 kilometers.

The Imagawa army's army was about five kilometers ahead, and just after arriving at the foot of Star Mountain, the scouts in front of them came to report that they had found the Takeda army in the Shimoinako area and were rushing across the border to this side.

"Quantity, the Takeda army can't see the end of the line!"

"Nani?" Yubi Masanobu's face was ugly, he was still doubting before, he really had nothing to say at this time, and he was even glad in his heart that if it wasn't for the early arrival of the Imagawa family's army, then as far as his family in the border area between the Imagawa family and the Takeda family's territory was concerned, it would inevitably suffer. Although the Takeda family is an ally, even if he plans to come under the banner of support, he is not stupid, as long as he thinks about it, he can understand what kind of purpose the Takeda family has.

"Your Excellency. What are we going to do. All the generals around him looked at Zhengliang. The face is solemn.

"Naturally, it's a matter of moving on. On the mountain road, it was difficult for the Takeda army to spread out. The fact that you can't see the edge from the beginning to the end does not mean that there are a lot of them. Masahiro looked around and laughed with the generals, "As long as you can block the Takeda army on the mountain road, even if you come with 20,000, you won't be afraid, unless you can fly, hahaha." ”

The generals laughed even more "hahaha", which was a lot easier.

"Yubi Masanobu-sama," after laughing. Zhengliang pointed to the widest place on the river beach in the distance, and Yan Sù ordered, "See if there is a wide land over there, where is that?" ”

"Over there, it's Wild Pine Terrace." Yubi replied.

"Nao I, you lead the headquarters to Yematsutai to set up a formation, and you must not let the Takeda army rush over."

"Hah!" Naoqin immediately bowed in response.

"Nobukatsu Narimatsu, the island is close to the left. You two go and help Ii Naokin, and don't let go of a Takeda army on the left bank of the river. ”

"Hah!"

The Nomatsu area on the left bank of the Fuji River is the widest, and the widest area is more than a kilometer in the past, and the vast Suruga Plain is behind it. Let the Takeda army rush over, and the consequences are unimaginable. On the other hand, the roads on the right bank are relatively narrow. The deployment of troops should be small and elite.

"Yubi-sama, where is the place to cross the river?" Masara asked, the army is on the left bank, and he wants to find a place to cross the river to the right bank.

"The Fuji River is so turbulent that if you want to cross the river, you have to turn back to the river and enter the castle, where you can cross the river in a boat from your courtiers." Yubi replied. The Fuji River is one of the three major rapids of the Warring States period, and the current can only be smoothed out at the mouth of the sea.

The distance from the current location to the city is estimated to be about four kilometers, and it is another four kilometers after crossing the river by boat, for a total of eight kilometers.

"Maeda Toshiie, give you the iron artillery team, I want you to arrive on the other side of the bank within half an hour, at most six quarters. You, Lord Bibi, lead my men across the river. Lord Mamoto, you will bring the Suruga samurai team to follow. ”

"Hah!" Maeda Toshiya, Apei Maeyuan answered. Abei Zhenyuan is one of the most loyal retainers after the unification of the Imagawa family, and his ability is also good, so Masara brought him this time.

Yubi Zhengxin opened his mouth and hesitated: "Lord, the subordinates' ashilight can't run so fast." ”

"Ashigaru can follow behind, you can follow on horseback."

Yubi Zheng beat the drum in confidence, and he didn't believe that the soldiers brought by the adult in front of him could really run so fast, and the right bank would definitely be broken through by the Takeda army. However, because it is difficult to say anything in the army, orders should be given first, and the next action should be decided according to the situation. Maeda Toshiya was ordered to immediately reorganize his army and turn back on a rapid march, followed by Hishonobu on a horse. Maeda Toshiya took away 700 reserve soldiers and 100 iron artillery, 500 Suruga samurai of Ampei Mamoto, and 200 ashigaru than Masanobu. There were also two hundred horsemen and guards in their hands, which were not arranged.

"Lord, why didn't we and the horse riding team set it up?" Bai Wuxian asked, eager to fight, "Do you want your subordinates to go to meet Takeda's Chibei first." ”

"Takeda Akabei!" Various legends in later generations made Takeda Akabei mythologized. I think of the generals' expressions when they heard the Takeda Army coming. Masahiro is not as strict as when he issued the order, and he has some high-spirited meaning: "Takeda is the strongest of the nations? I don't think so. Bai Wuxian also led the headquarters and the horse riding team to weigh, weigh, how strong is Takeda Akabi! ”

"The minister will rub the Takeda army with all his might!" Bai Wu Xiankan shouted excitedly, "The horseback team will follow me." ”

More than 200 iron horsemen rumbled away. Cheng Song Nobusheng pursed his lips and looked enviously at the horseback team and left.

The courage of the husband is also, first rub away the courage of the enemy, and then fight.

Most of the horseback riding team under the command of Masarashi was composed of the standing members of the Luo family, and of course, some hostages sent by the wealthy families of the Imagawa family were also added, and the rest were also selected from among the samurai. Taken together, this riding team's background, equipment, techniques, training, discipline, and everything is first-class, and it is definitely not worse than Chibei.

Just as Masara was setting up on the spot and preparing to meet the Takeda family's army coming from the west, a large force of the Takeda family's army was surging in the Fujigawa mountain road.

Historically, Akabei did not refer only to the cavalry team, but also to a large number of mounted infantry. Therefore, if you look at the Fujikawa Mountain Road from the air, you will find that the Takeda Army is lined up in two long red dragons on both sides of the river, and the soldiers and horses are moving forward.

The army that Takeda Shingen invaded Suruga Province was the elite of the Takeda army. In addition to the Chibei cavalry led by Iitomi Torama, there are also elite soldiers of a hundred battles who were honed in the Battle of Kawanakajima.

And this time, the main general who helped Sunfu Castle, in addition to Iitomi Huchang, also Takeda Shingen's sister-in-law Takeda Yoshinobu. Yoshinobu Takeda due to his beloved wife Ryo Matsuin. I have a special affection for the Imagawa family. And he hopes that the Imagawa clan, who has a better relationship with him, really controls the Imagawa family. As a foreign assistant to him who firmly controls the position of the heir to the Takeda family's governor, this time he will take the initiative to ask Ying to "support" the Suruga Imagawa family this time.

Looking at the army of the Takeda family, which was constantly advancing, Yoshinobu Takeda, who thought that he would definitely be able to help the Suruga Imagawa family expel the army of the Toe Imagawa family this time, couldn't help but say to himself in his heart:

"I will drive the army of the Toe Imagawa family out of Suruga and complete the righteousness of the allies."

And just as Takeda Yoshinobu was talking to himself in confidence, Iitomi Huchang, who was beside Takeda Yoshinobu and was a teacher of Takeda Yoshinobu, was faintly worried in his heart.

Before leaving, the lord Takeda Shingen secretly approached him and ordered: "Send Takeda Yoshinobu to support Suruga as the son-in-law of the Imagawa family, but the real purpose is to attack Suruga." Iitomi Toramasa temporarily concealed it from Takeda Yoshinobu and could replace the command if necessary. ”

Now I secretly look at the disciple's expression at this time. Fan Fu Huchang struggled in his heart. Sandwiched between the disciple and the lord, he really didn't know how to tell the truth. "My lord, you are embarrassing me! Forget it, how long can you hide it. ”

And just when the two masters and apprentices of Iitomi Humasa and Takeda Yoshinobu as the main generals had different thoughts, as soon as half of the Takeda army passed through the Shimoinazi area, the forward came to report that the Imagawa family army vanguard cavalry team, and the two sides immediately fell into a fierce battle after meeting.

"The Imagawa family's army? No way! Fan Fu Huchang exclaimed, God Soldier from the sky? His mind was dizzy, his body shook three times on his horse, and he finally sat down before he confirmed again. "It's really the Imagawa family's army, can you see it clearly?"

"Hah! The subordinates saw it clearly. The black armor and the Imagawa family epsom pattern will not be mistaken. ”

How can it be? Isn't the Imagawa army still in the midst of a civil war? How did it come out of here, did it fly over? In fact, Iitomi Huchang's intelligence has been a little behind, as early as two days ago, the Imagawa family civil war was under the auspices of Masarashi and Shou Guini, and Masarashi also quickly learned the information of the Takeda family's battle, so he simply continued to make the illusion that the Imagawa family was fighting fiercely, and at the same time completely blocked the news of the unification of the Imagawa family, so that the Takeda family did not know the actual situation of the Imagawa family for a while.

And at this time, Iitomi Huchang, who didn't know the actual situation of the Imagawa family, couldn't figure out the key to it after racking his brains, so he simply didn't want to hear it, and it was better to see it with his own eyes than to listen to it a hundred times.

"Young master, let's go and have a look." Iitomi Husho brought up a large stone in his heart, but put down another large stone, and the army of the Imagawa family appeared and quickly made a gesture of attack on the ally Takeda family, which was the only benefit to him was that he no longer had to be caught between Takeda Shingen and his disciples.

The two broke away from the brigade and rushed to the scene, and the vanguard Chibei 200 horsemen were fighting with the Imagawa army's army on a 100-meter-wide river beach. Red and black samurai, none of them would take a step back. Blood splattered, and dozens of corpses lay on the ground, half on each side.

"Antlers! That's the general of the Imagawa family army in Tooe, and the ghost is a hundred martial arts and kenkan! "Iitomi Huchang's expression is solemn, and the general of the army of the Imagawa family is here, which means that the Suruga Imagawa family may already be more auspicious, if it comes, the current situation in Suruga is very difficult to say, at least the lord Takeda Shingen's previous plan to reap the benefits of the fisherman may be difficult to achieve.

At this time, Hyakkutake Kenkan also saw that the Takeda Army had two generals, and the armor was exactly the same as that of Iitomi Huchang and Takeda Yoshinobu in the intelligence.

"Takeda Akabei! I've learned it at the same time. "The Hundred Warriors and Dragonflies cut the spear and swept it, and a Takeda Akabi fell off his horse. Stabbed forward, picked up a Takeda Akabi in the air, threw it at the enemy, and knocked down another Akabi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that's Iitomi Toramasa and Yoshinobu Takeda. Walk! Go and take their heads. ”

"Oh!" The morale of the Imagawa family's horseback riding team soared, and they fought hard to slash and kill Takeda Akabei beside him. A slash was parried by Akabei, and immediately his companion stabbed him with a riding spear, and Akabi was stabbed through the abdomen and fell off his horse. Before the Imagawa cavalry could put away his sword, a Chibei suddenly appeared on the side, and the three-meter-long stab hit the shoulder and directly knocked him off the horse. The Imagawa cavalryman fell to the ground, clutching his spear with both hands and smiling at the Red Soldiers. Three cold rays of light pierced at the same time, leaving several blood holes on the red soldiers' bodies.

Bai Wuxian killed until he rose, pulled out a long knife in his left hand, held a gun in one arm in his right hand, and slashed together on both sides. Everywhere the horses went, the Chibei cavalry was constantly cut down and dismounted. The general rose up, and Imagawa Ietoshi's riding team gradually gained the upper hand. The red was suppressed by the black, and he retreated again and again.

"It's so strong!" Yoshinobu Takeda exclaimed, in Kawanakajima, he had never seen Akabi gain the upper hand by an equal number of enemies.

"Teacher, hurry up and send Qiben to support."

Iifu Huchang just wanted to give an order, but Bai Wuxian had already gotten rid of the entanglement at this time, kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and rushed towards Iifu Huchang, followed by more than twenty horsemen.

"Yoshinobu Takeda, Iitomi Huchang, I will accept your head."

Bai Wuxian was covered in blood, murderous, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Takeda Yoshinobu's head. The murderous aura of the ancient generals even had to be avoided by ghosts and gods, not to mention the annoying Yoshinobu Takeda. Sitting down the horse and taking three steps back, Takeda Yoshinobu was so excited by the murderous aura that he stiffened his movements, and he almost couldn't control his mount.

"Protect the young master!" Fan Fu Huchang led, and the two of them hurriedly protected the two in the army and retreated. Bai Wuxian rushed to the front of the military formation, and dozens of bannermen stepped forward to stop him. The lord will be charged, and on the river beach, Takeda Akabi will throw off the enemy in front of him and pursue Hyakkutake Kenkan. Where would the Imagawa family riding team let go of this opportunity and followed the pursuit. Black and red are twisted together, and the scuffle is endless.

"Don't get in the way, little minion!" The spear in Bai Wuxian's hand flew up and down, the cold light was four-colored, and the surrounding Takeda Army soldiers splashed blood lines, and Gu was killed by one shot. Bai Wu Xiankan and more than a dozen horsemen under his command formed a triangular formation, bravely rushed in, and looked at Takeda Yoshinobu's horse seal to rush and kill.

Under the heavy protection of the flag, he really gave Bai Wuxian and cut in. Dozens of meters away, he shouted, "Takeda Yoshinobu, don't run away." ”

Takeda Yoshinobu clenched the reins of the horse with both hands, very unwilling, and was actually frightened by the murderous aura just now. Iifu Huchang understood his disciple and comforted, "Rushing into battle is the courage of a horseman, and if the young master is going to inherit the Takeda family in the future, the fight should be handed over to his subordinates." ”

Yoshinobu Takeda nodded silently. The Takeda Army's horse prints are going farther and farther.

"Cut!" Bai Wuxian said disdainfully, turned around to see that there were only a dozen horsemen left in the cavalry team following him, and shouted, "You guys and I will kill back." ”

"Oh!"

The soldiers of the Imagawa family immediately shouted, but when the Takeda army heard the shouting, it was blood and rage, and the siege became more ferocious, but, without the presence of a general, Chibei alone could not stop Hyakutake Kenkan and others, so they could only watch Hyakumtake Kenkan leave.

"Is the general going to abandon us?" Bai Wuxian fought out of the encirclement, heard the shouts of his subordinates, and turned his horse's head to kill back. There is no one-in-one enemy in the hand-to-hand fight, and there is the courage to block a shot and dismount.

Bai Wuxian took out several subordinates and joined the cavalry team, raised his gun in the formation, and shouted: "Takeda Yoshinobu fled in despair, and we won this battle." Let's go back and ask for a reward. ”

"Oh!"

The Black Cavalry gradually disengaged from the Red Army, and the horses retreated. The remains of corpses, ownerless horses scattered on the river beach. After seeing the enemy retreat, the Takeda army did not have the slightest joy.
