Pillars of the Wu family

ps: I have fully learned my lesson, and I will not write such thankless materials in the future. Book friends who feel that the pace is slow can also rest assured that they will speed up the pace in the future, and save as much as possible. There is no way, and I am sorry for the book friends who want to know the history of the Warring States Period in Japan.

Gradually, the sun turned to the west, and the situation became more and more stalemate due to the huge physical exhaustion of the two sides. The Takeda army became more and more cunning. Knowing that the Kira army had an excellent penetration effect on the Sanjian gun, they changed their tactics and used harassment tactics.

There are always two or three backup teams around to cooperate with each other. Under the overwhelming advantage of numbers, the Kira army cannot exert its maximum power. It can only cause a small amount of damage to the Takeda army each time. At the same time, frequent movements and retreats also add a lot of burden to the army. Both sides began to pant and were no longer able to play a fast-paced and fierce offense.

Every time he sees the Takeda Army advancing and retreating cunningly, Honjo Shigeru can only curse in anger. He is very envious of the handsome red cavalry, but it is a pity that the recent retainers cannot be transferred to the red cavalry as commanders. In the words of time, only loyalty and merit are the best tests. Use time to test whether your words and deeds are consistent.

Honjo Shigecho, Kurokawa Kiyomi, and Hojo Takahiro led the army to sit in the main formation. Even if the red cavalry wandered around, there was no need to worry about the threat of the main formation. Under the command of the letter, he gradually withstood the attack of the Takeda army.

Seeing the stalemate in the situation, Yoshihiro Kira smiled confidently: "The battle is coming to an end, how much strength does the Takeda family have to adjust? But the family still has two preset chess pieces that can be moved, how about you? Takeda Harunobu."

Just when the war reached a new stalemate, a fleet came up from the lower reaches of the Chiqu River.This fleet has only a small number of closures.Most of them are composed of flexible small breakfasts.There are several samurai holding iron cannons, bows and arrows standing on every boat, and each boat has two flags of Ashikaga.

"Oops!" At the same moment, Takeda Harunobu's complexion changed: "Let the horses join the battle! The banner team also joins the battle! We must stop this fleet!"

The right wing of the Takeda Army that was on the shore was immediately covered by the firepower of this fleet. The sound of scattered iron cannons and the silent arrow rain fell into the formation. The morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the rhythm of the attack was accelerated again, and the left wing of the entire Kira army quickly opened up the situation.The battle situation began to tilt in favor of Kira's army.

At the same time, the red cavalry who only played once also circled to the right flank and launched an assault on the opposite Takeda army. The attacked Takeda army barely launched a counterattack and was defeated. Nagasaka and Nobumasa each reopened a hole by force and broke up the Takeda Army's formation.

"Don't retreat! Be steady!" The Wutian army's formation continued to collapse, and Zhujiao Huding hurriedly urged him. His original name was Shizhu Huguang, and he also used the two Miao characters of Wutian and Liangzhu. Changqing and many other names.

In the Takeda family, he is generally called Murozu Huguang by his original name, and some people call him Murozu Toyomori and Ryoju Toramitsu.Takeda Huguang... Anyway, the old man will agree to call him any name, and his flag seal is also very interesting.It turned out to be the original name "Murozumi Bungoushou" in five big characters, which is even more cool than the ever-changing magical girl.

This cool old man who likes to change his name is the uncle of Takeda Nobutora, the sixth son of Takeda Nobuchang, and the great-uncle of Takeda Harunobu.

It is reasonable to say that such an old age should take care of his life. It is a cruel thing for such an old warrior to go into battle, but Zhujiaohuding does not see it that way. To be able to fight for the Takeda family, and firmly believe that he will not die. It is this belief that has supported him for decades in the battlefield, but today he suddenly feels that everything is different.

"Murozuki Byogoshou! It's another big fish!" A red-armored cavalry general came rushing forward with a red spear in his hand. This man was the newborn tiger Takigawa Tokimashi. With his abnormal physical strength, long spear and fast horse, he One person entered the core of the heavily guarded room team, and every time the bloody gun was swung, it would bring a scarlet blood, and the loyal and brave warriors fell to the ground on Hachiman, making the veteran's eyes tear.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Follow me to kill this man!" Zhujiaohu yelled and the crowd was outraged. The veteran has lived in Kaifei for more than 70 years and loves to wander around the countryside. From traffickers to monks and priests, no one does not know him. Yes, apart from being a battle madman, he is also very popular, and Kai's samurai are also willing to follow his orders.

The ashigaru team raised three long spears in an array like a forest of guns, and the enemies in the future will block the wall. The samurai on the two wings draw out their sharp swords to protect the weak flanks. For the way of the army formation, the front is like a sharp beast. Its long horns and mouth full of fangs, its flanks are like a soft belly with no defense, if it can't line up or protect its flanks, it's suicide.

"Swoosh!" Arrows that were as fast as meteors tore through the scorching air, and took the lives of several long spears Ashgaru. Unexpected chaos appeared in the tight formation, and the next moment more and more black spots flickered, densely packed. The flying arrows were like pouring rain, tearing apart the tight military formation at that moment.

"The samurai counterattack! Block them..." Before Zhujiaohu Ding had time to make detailed adjustments, Takigawa Tokimashi had already urged his horse to slam into the collapsing long spear array, and the red spear in his hand was like a death scythe, mercilessly harvesting a With a fresh life behind him, a group of warriors in red armor waved their spears at the same time and made a neat cutting movement. The familiar faces were full of fear and despair, and they flew high with blood-red rays of light.

"Am I, Huguang, going to die here today?" Zhujiao Huding closed his eyes in pain and then opened them suddenly, facing Takikawa Shimao who was heading straight to the front line, he raised the big gun in his hand and shouted loudly without any panic : "Who is coming, I live in the house and guard the tiger's light gun so that the unknown general will not be killed!"

"Interesting! He's still an old man!" Takikawa Tokima cut a horse-riding warrior in half, thick blood spattered on the white Ashikaga Nihitaka flag, and held the gun horizontally with one hand Accelerating slowly at ninety degrees, a bloodthirsty fierce light burst out in his eyes: "Takigawa Keijiro Tokimashi is here to take your head!"

From a long distance away, one could feel the evil spirit of this red-armored cavalry general, but never could have imagined that his voice was just a baby in the voice-changing period. !Let me end your short and sinful life!"

"Hmph!" Takikawa Tokikaki didn't talk nonsense with him.A speeding up and beheading the mounted warrior who came to block him again.Clamp the horse's belly and hit it with all its strength.The vermilion spear in his hand turned into a streak of red light, and in the blink of an eye, it hit Zhujiaohuding's neck.

At that moment, a speck of sand and dust blew onto Zhujiao Huding's eyes, causing the veteran's eyes to squint for a while, and he felt the red light flashing across his eyes. In an instant, a blood mist rose into the sky, completely dyeing the white silk flag red.

"Enemy general. I, Tokimashi Takikawa, will definitely take all the horned tigers!"

The samurai of the Takeda Army watched the old general being captured. In grief and indignation, Asa Takigawa Tokimashi desperately killed him. Shima Tokatsu took the opportunity to harvest his life with one arrow after another, and the red cavalry attacked everywhere to kill them. This is a tenacious army, but the crazy Takeda army can't control these things, and desperately wants to get back the head of the flanking general, which gives time for the red cavalry to perform.

A knight on horseback blocked from left to right to avoid several waves of red cavalry's combined strangling, rushed all the way to the dead body of the horned tiger and stopped, muttering something in his mouth, tore off the silk cloth from the flag and wrapped it tightly His head jumped on the horse and fled backwards at a high speed.

"Damn it! The samurai who stole the head still wants to run away!" At this time, Takikawa Tokatsu was also trapped in the ashigaru formation, unable to pursue him.All he could do was yell at Shima Tokatsu, "Zakon!"

"Understood!" Shima Tokikatsu firmly held the huge square bamboo bow, and a sharp arrow shot out of the string and went straight into the back of the warrior.I saw the samurai's body softened and fell off the horse, and the blood-stained silk cloth in his arms rolled to the side, and the blue Takeda Siru Banner was stained with blood and turned into a ball of dark red.

Taking a deep breath, he shouted loudly: "Enemy general, Ganli Huzhong was captured by our island Shisheng!"

At the same moment, on the other side of the battlefield, Nobumasa Nagasaka, who was fighting bloody battles, also shouted: "The enemy general, Masaaki Ogiwara was taken by me, Nobumasa Nagasaka!"

"Did the great uncle still fail to escape in the end?" Takeda Harunobu closed his eyes in pain and tried to extinguish the anger in his heart. At this time, he had sent out all the reserves, and he was completely powerless to rescue the collapse of the left wing, so he could only lower his voice. Silently recite the name of Suwa Daimyojin.

"My lord!" The retainers of the Takeda family looked at him helplessly. At this time, the governor is the backbone. If the governor loses the will to fight, he will die.

"My family must not retreat! My Takeda family has nowhere to retreat! No way to retreat!" Takeda Harunobu became emotional suddenly, raised the cowhide and iron-frame army fan and shouted loudly: "My sons of the Takeda family! Fight! Suwa Daimyo God bless us! Defeat the Kira Army in front of us, and return home with our companions!"

"Suwa Daimyo, bless you! Return to your hometown!" The warriors of the Takeda family were like bison caught in a frenzy, roaring one by one. As if it could be contagious, it spread throughout the battlefield in less than a moment.

A brave and decisive spirit suddenly arose, and the left-wing front, which had completely collapsed, miraculously maintained the situation under the impetus of this force. Seeing that the situation was not right, Shile Zhentong hurriedly ordered to avoid the front.

The priests of the Suwa family beat the big drum and danced to wish victory. Perhaps they heard the encouragement of Takeda Harunobu. The samurai were exhausted from killing, the blood-stained ground was soaked over and over again, no one looked at the dead bodies, they only had enemies in their eyes.

The backup team of the Takeda family quickly launched a counterattack against this fleet. Their attack was so weak. They fired bows and arrows against iron cannons. The best samurai are often the first to die. Their deaths are meaningless and can only bring a piece of military exploits to the Kira Army of the fleet.

At this moment, the commanders of both sides received different news at the same time. When Harunobu Takeda saw the news, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted again. Shiozaki Castle was captured, Kurihara Kantou died in battle!" in large characters.

"The way out is dead, what should we do?" The retainers of the Takeda family gathered around in panic, and Iwate Nobumori, who was born in a family lineage and served as the imperial banner.With a bitter smile, he said: "I didn't expect to be hit by the lord. Sure enough, we have no way out!"

Komai Masaobu frowned deeply.As the military adviser of the Takeda family, he had a heavy burden, and he paced back and forth thinking: "Then what should we do? Rely on Sanada Yutaka to lead the wounded Shinano Senfang to make another surprise attack? No! I have been fooled once. Obviously, the Kakizaki Kei family would not be so stupid... do you want to retreat now?"

At the same time, Kira Yoshitoki angrily tore a piece of paper into pieces, smashed the tea set beside his hand, and shouted angrily: "How is it possible! Plague! Plague of locusts! Why did it happen in Echigo! Why! Tiger Ji actually got the plague! What are you all eating! Ah! Tell me what are you all doing!"

The samurai in this formation looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to provoke the general who was burning with anger, such as Yamayoshi Toyomori, a young Echigo samurai who was purely gold-plated and experienced in the formation, had never seen him angry.Now that I saw it, I was so scared that I didn't dare to raise my head.

"Master..." Tokiyuki Yamamoto tried to comfort him, but Yoshitoki Kira, who was in a rage, could not listen to any persuasion at all, and shouted: "The bakery team is out! Blow up the Takeda army! Even if they can't be wiped out, I can They must be disabled!"

"Yes!" The Shifan hastily issued an order. As the strategic force of the Kira Army, the Baker team rarely played, and each appearance was a critical moment. Therefore, this special reserve team with a slightly smaller establishment was also unanimously agreed by the Kira family. praise.

"My lord is preparing to retreat!" At this moment, Honda Tokisaka and Namioka Takabo thought of this word at the same time: "Why? The great situation turned out to be a retreat? This time, we are very sure that we will wipe out the Takeda Army, although the price will be very high. It's big...but it's also a big hit to the Takeda family..."

"Isn't this just a serious injury?" Tokiyuki Yamamoto smiled bitterly.As a lieutenant general, he could do so little, and the two young men serving as military advisors were obviously too immature.Taking advantage of this short opportunity, he said: "This battle will definitely be a costly annihilation battle. The question is, are you all ready for this? Don't forget what the original strategy of the owner is."

"Severe damage to the Takeda Army, so that it will not be able to pose a threat to Kita Shinano within three to five years! I understand..." The two smiled awkwardly, and forgot about this in a moment of excitement. Now the Takeda Army has definitely lost more than 3000 people in battle, while the Kira Army The reduction in staff is about [-].

The biggest advantage is that the two wings of the Takeda army can't support at all, and the central road is more and more dispersed to take care of the two wings. Such a heavy burden is just a reversal from the initial stage of development, and the longer the time drags on, the greater the advantage of Kira's army. The fleet along the coast can Taking advantage of the advantage of maximizing firepower safely and steadily, the excellent situation gave them the idea of ​​​​annihilating the Takeda army.

"Boom boom boom..." A series of explosions turned Langgang's face pale with fright, and also knocked down the horses on both sides. Many knights on horseback were overturned by the frightened horses. Most of them got timely rescue without any problem. Still, many samurai were killed by the enemy's ashigaru.

Benzhuang Fanchang was almost overturned and dismounted, watching in horror the black smoke rising in front of him, and the terrible flames so scary, and some people turned into firemen and ran around and finally lay motionless on the ground. He was more afraid than the bloody war, "What is that? Is it a demon?"

"Chiyo Inomaru, are you stupid? That's my Kira family's secret weapon. Didn't you see them throwing strange jars? Look, they're about to throw them again! Let's dismount quickly." .

After a horrible rumbling sound, he saw Hojo Takahiro sitting on the horses and drinking water in his spare time, and a few surnames trying to appease the frightened war horse, Kurokawa Kiyomi laughed and scolded: "Well, you Danhou, I already knew that This time, so you got off your horse and waited?"

"It's because you didn't ask yourself, or I, Gao Guang, was clever. I saw a team of warriors in this formation being specially protected, so I asked them to know that they were the roasting team. Did you see those explosive things? That can be done with a Terrible weapons that contain secret objects in clay pots!" Hojo Takahiro looked around furtively, and whispered: "Want to know what's inside?"

"What are you wearing?"

"I don't know either! Hahaha..." Hojo Takahiro laughed so hard that Kurokawa Kiyomi and Honjo Shigeru looked at each other, and then angrily blocked their ears to endure the rumbling explosion.

Five consecutive rounds of roasted jade throwing cleared a large white field full of gunpowder smoke and flames in front of the formation. The warriors of the Takeda Army no longer dared to approach this restricted area of ​​life, even if their former companions were lying there, they wailed to Asking for help from all around could not make the Takeda army move half a step.

"Bastard! What kind of demonic magic is this! The people of Kira's family must be holding something filthy from hell!" The old warrior who had experienced many battles tried to appease the panicked young warriors around him.This is the first time many people have encountered such a tragic war.It's hard to say how much it will affect their psychology.These veterans can only try to appease the panicked young people, hoping that their words will bring them more strength.

Takeda Harunobu was startled and angry and almost passed out. Several pedigrees hurriedly supported him and patted his back before he recovered. The leader glanced at him, expressing his disappointment with his intelligence work, and then roared angrily: "Attention all troops, avoid the enemy's projectiles. Never confront the enemy head-on!"

At this time, the Baker team that had finished throwing the ball began to retreat, and the Takeda army, who was stunned by the explosion and flames, did not dare to go forward to pursue it. The panicked warriors did not know what to do, and the overall offensive rhythm of Takeda County was completely broken and stagnant. , the battlefield has also become strangely silent because of this great change.

"I, Takatsuna Watanabe, took the head of the tiger of root!"

"Kanamaru Masahiro was taken by my honcho Shigeru!"

"Nobumori Iwate was taken by me, Takahiro Hojo!"

"Nanbu Manxiu was taken by me, Kiyomi Kurokawa!"

"Banno Zhenkei was taken by my Miyabe Tsutsuru!"

Takeda's army panicked, but Kira's army didn't panic at all. Taking advantage of the gap between the roasted jade throwing, the samurai of Kira's family attacked everywhere to bite Takeda's army, relying on the accumulated physical strength of their own army to grab them. The defeated Takeda reserve team pursued fiercely.Several heavily damaged reserve teams could not be withdrawn and began to collapse one after another.

A series of demands inspired the samurai of the Kira Army, and the more they killed, the more anxious the Kira Army attacked everywhere.The generals also unequivocally led their own banners to fight in person, overwhelming the Takeda Army in one fell swoop. As more and more generals were sought, it was seen that the Takeda Army was going to collapse in an all-round way, but the tenacious When the Takeda army is about to collapse, a few desperate samurai will lead the team to the densely lined main formation of the Kira army.

"My sons of Kai! Follow me and rush over to fight with them!" Someone shouted, and the warriors of the Takeda family also jumped out to launch a desperate counterattack. Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. No matter how afraid of the powerful force and weird weapons of the Kira Army, they are all going to die anyway. It is better to fight to kill one to save money, and kill two to earn one.

Everywhere on the battlefield, the warriors of the Takeda family suddenly came out from the corner of the defeated army with their gangsters, roaring and waving their swords and big guns, rushing towards the well-equipped formation of Kira's army, and then gradually disappeared in the fighting. Seeing that the situation is not good, the main reserve team of the Kira Army immediately shrinks its formation and moves closer to each other to preserve its strength. It is meaningless to fight to kill more. If the main formation is half-crippled, it will be death. Ten thousand enemy troops are also at a loss.

The number of casualties on both sides increased crazily during this period. In general, each samurai of the Kira Army can replace two to three Takeda Army. This exchange seems to be very profitable for the Kira Army on the whole, but several reserve teams were beaten It still makes people feel heartbroken to be half-disabled. It is worth mentioning that the reserve teams who were disabled are all from the Xinnong Army.

The winner cannot get the fruits of victory, and the loser gritted his teeth and refused to give up. A confrontation with no end in sight turned this war into a bloody grindstone that devoured life. Just when the generals on both sides were feeling exhausted. At that time, the sound of the rumbling drum from the Kira Army's main battle drum suddenly disappeared, and signal flags representing the retreat were waved continuously, causing the soldiers to appear in every corner of the battlefield with signal flags in their hands, and the fierce attack followed. Be contained.

The Takeda army retreated without hesitation. They would not care about what happened to Kira's army, let alone take the opportunity to fight back to win the victory. Relying on the elite warriors of the Takeda family to fill up with their lives, they just broke down the morale that was almost collapsed. Pulling them back, the full morale of this battle of trapped beasts won't last long. This is a good time to retreat. Behind them is their camp. Only by returning there will they be truly safe.

"Retreat? Why retreat? Why?" Takikawa Tokimashi's tone was full of resentment and puzzlement. How could he understand that the enemy was leaving in a hurry in such a good situation? Looking at the silent retreat of the Takeda army, Takikawa Tokimashi Waving his horsewhip indignantly: "Give me another quarter of an hour! I can defeat all these people in a quarter of an hour!"

"I've heard this sentence several times today, but we still haven't defeated them, haven't we?" Shimatoki comforted his companion helplessly, looked at the slowly retreating Takeda army, and said with a smile: "Then They are a group of amazing warriors, they are brave and fearless, just like us! They have the belief in their hearts to fight to the end, just like us!"

"Phew..." Facing the last ray of light in the setting sun, Takigawa Tokimashi seemed to have figured this out, and smiled happily: "Maybe you are right! But we will always be the strongest! Unique!" (To be completed continued..)
