Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 360 Decisive Battle at Kawanakajima

Three months of smooth sailing caused the Takeda family to fall into unprecedented complacency and self-paralysis. They thought that the Kira Legion was only gaining an advantage by virtue of its excellent equipment. The family has all sorts of powerful skills, as long as they can't use half of it, so what?

But the cruel reality made the Takeda family realize that they were so outrageously wrong. Immobility for three months is not an ability but a forbearance and dormancy before waiting for the opportunity. Several times Takeda Harunobu has wondered what the Kira family would do to deal with them , but as time passed, it proved that his suspicion was overthinking, and now thinking about it, he was still too careless.

Having been humiliated by the Kira family time and time again, and now the only strategy he can be proud of is being completely smeared by Kira Yoshihide, Takeda Haruno gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "The Kira town hall is really scheming, and this strategy is chain-linked." One ring is impeccable, this is to force the family to rescue! If the Kira army is allowed to cross the river and swallow Nobushige's troops, not to mention the chance of a comeback, even if the battle situation will collapse in an instant, the family will fight anyway. There is only one chance for my family, and that is to strike while he is halfway across the river!"

At the beginning of Haishi, the waning moon in the night sky hangs powerfully, and the faint clouds float gently to cover it gently. The moonlight just revealed a light and shadow from the gap in the cloud, and a faint halo illuminated a piece of silvery white through the thin cloud, but after a while, a large cloud covered the night sky, and only a little white light leaked out from the edge of the cloud.

The hazy moonlight falling on the ground was almost undetectable, and it was not much worse than yesterday's situation.It's still a night where you can't see your fingers. It's dark everywhere, and it's hard for people who are a little further away from the winter to stand still.More than a thousand figures quietly lurked in the bushes outside the Chajiu Mountain camp. In the deep autumn night, the dew was heavy, and the warriors fell on the ground and felt cold all over in a short while.

Miyabe Jirun led more than a thousand men who dared to die outside the stronghold. Not long after the completion of the Takeda army's reorganization, they quickly opened the city gate and walked out. Shi Shiran, a thousand forwards, came out and saw a group of warriors in close proximity. They gathered together densely, surrounded by a cavalry general, and slowly walked out of the camp, and saw that the flag seal was the main banner of the Takeda family.

"The target has appeared, let's act!" Okochi Tsunataka excitedly geared up.However, Miyabe Jirun grabbed his arm tightly and couldn't move. The Mikawa warriors all had a reckless spirit. Seeing that the monk Omi held him down and refused to let him move, he was unhappy. He struggled violently and still couldn't break free. When he yelled, a big hand covered his mouth.

Only a deep voice came to my ears: "My lord said that Takeda Harunobu is a habit of deceitful tricks. We still don't know if that person is Takeda Harunobu himself. We must not rush this opportunity. Why don't we take a look first?" Say it again!"

Seeing that he was neither struggling nor shouting, Miyabe Jijun let go of his hands in relief, and heard Okochi Tsunataka complaining in a low voice: "You are so unreasonable, you savage monk, just say what you have to say, why did you attack me? It’s not that I, Gangao, know that you are not a villain. The samurai lying on the left and right are all showing their swords. We don’t know what Harunobu Takeda looks like. You just let it go so lightly. If you miss an opportunity and cause trouble, don’t blame me .”[

Seeing the veteran who was over [-] years old complaining, Miyabe Jirun patiently explained: "I can't explain a few sentences, my top priority is to attack the city at night, and then expand the results of the battle. The rest of the people went to fight for the [-] troops and send them to death. No matter how brave they are, they can’t do it like this. You must know that it is not easy for the master to train such a soldier. Even if you die, you will have to fight for half of Takeda. The military is worth it."

"Huh! You said it lightly. In the end, you still want to keep your useful body and make another contribution! It is not enough to win three cities in one night, and take the initiative to take on the important task of commanding the death squad. It can be seen that your ambition is not small. Wow!" Okochi Tsunadaka looked at this monk with a smile, he was three years younger than him, and he just turned [-] this year, which is the prime of life, and even those who have not shown themselves in the past few years have become the generals of the reserve team, but their merits are not enough. Prominence has always been considered to be a native of Omi who survived by virtue of his background and qualifications.

Kira's family is not a stagnant pool, there have always been small frictions between Omi people and Mikawa samurai, meritorious faction and adherents. In recent years, Tokiyuki Yamamoto retired to the second line and gradually became less in charge. Several leaders also surfaced. Even if Bu Jirun is a representative figure among the people of Omi, this time he went all out to make achievements, so it could be said that it was for the people of Omi to seek an extra foundation.

Miyabe Jirun said modestly: "Gang Gaodian is joking, I, Jirun, is a samurai of the Kira family, and it is the duty of the samurai family to go through fire and water for the master of the hall. As for the words of ambition, please don't mention it. Our only hope is to be a family member." If the business is prosperous, it is enough to eat meat and drink soup with the owner of the museum, and it is appropriate to replace it with ambition."

While talking gossip, another group of warriors walked out of the camp, surrounded by a warrior wearing Suwa magic armor, and followed behind him, surrounded by thousands of people to protect the camp. It can be seen that Takeda The army is very cautious, and uses shadow fighters to test the changes outside the camp.

Okochi Tsunataka was completely convinced, regardless of whether Miyabe Jirun could see clearly or not, he gave him a thumbs up: "Sure enough, you guessed it right, tell me how you guessed it? I see it. I have been stunned for a long time, but I didn’t see any flaws, could it be that the Takeda army has clairvoyance to see through our actions?”

"The owner of the museum has specially instructed Takeda Harunobu to be careful when using fraudulent tricks. Just now, when he opened the door, he saw Takeda Harunobu's main formation coming out. Does Tsuna Takaden think this is normal? It's because the generals are here to lead the troops, but Was there ever a general who led troops in the former? Ever since Takeda Harunobu raised troops and exiled his father, there are always countless times in the past ten years when he personally led troops into battle."

After Miyabe Tsutsuru's enlightenment, Okochi Tsunataka only felt enlightened: "That's true! I said that you can use tricks even if you can't see the flaws. It turns out that this is a deceit! But speaking of it, the Takeda family has no clues. Broken ninja? It's dangerous for us to lie in ambush outside the Takeda army camp like this!"

"It is indeed dangerous. The owner of the museum has already expected this. The owner of the museum said that this is called darkness under the lamp. A candlestick placed on the map under the shadow of the candlestick is always the easiest to ignore. A new defeat with a shake of the army's morale will definitely be too busy. Tonight, I was tricked out of the camp by my Kira army, and there must be omissions in the hasty arrangement. No matter how delicate Takeda Harunobu is, I can't imagine that we can bear them all to go out. I just need to wait for all the Takeda troops to leave, and then seal the camp gates and capture the left-behind samurai in the camp!" Miyabe Jijun quickly explained clearly, and then fell into a long silence.

The news of the Takeda Army's departure could not be hidden at all. The [-] army turned into a long dragon with torches and rushed towards Hachimanbara. This was the moment Kira Yoshishi had been waiting for. The army made a posture of crossing the river to attract the Takeda Army Purpose.At this time, the army that had been clamoring for a long time suddenly turned, and the rear team changed to the front team and went straight to the Takeda army.

However, the Takeda army also seemed to have expected this action, and quickly regrouped the long snake formation to form a crane wing formation to meet the enemy. In the middle of the night, more than [-] people from the Hachimanakami Kira Army met with a group of Takeda troops. Fifteen thousand troops started a fight, and Takeda Nobushige's team on the other side of the river also made a posture to cross the river at this time, putting aside the huge threat of Kira's navy.He insisted on breaking into the main line of Kira's army from Amamiyadu.

"Hehe! Isn't this very similar to the formation of the woodpeckers? It's just that the main formation has 5000 people, and the Rangers have 8000 people...Interesting! It's so interesting!" Several clusters of bonfires were burning in the main formation of the Ohori Pavilion. Zhengwang, Kira Yoshitoshi did not leave the city at all, and brought five hundred horses back to guard the city. In the dark night, thousands of cavalry marched on the ground like thunder, and the Takeda army was extremely tense. Hold tight to the position and dare not take any further steps.

The howling mountain wind blew bitterly, and in the cold night, the ashigaru were trembling all over.The young recruits were squeezed to the edge of the formation to suffer from the cold, while the old soldiers huddled in the formation and cursed: "The wind blows really badly at night, and the day is still very warm. It's only a few hours before the wind turns and the northwest wind blows." , Could it be that it’s going to snow! If it really snows, this joint battle will be even more difficult. I don’t know how many of you juniors will be able to walk back alive.”

It is another feeling for the old soldier's heartfelt words to fall into the ears of the defensive general Baba Nobuharu. The Takeda Army led by him are all authentic Kai warriors.Except for the garrison of Zhongxinano, the treatment at the Takeda family on weekdays is far superior to those of the surrendered troops of Shinano, and has always been taken as a confidant by Takeda Harunobu. Now even the Takeda family's team has complaints. The Shinano people are No need to think too much about how it looks.

The deafening drums blew in the conch of thought and sounded at any time. Osuke of Suwa Taisha commanded the four immature children to beat the drums desperately in the cold night. The four little dolls were trembling in the cold wind, thin and The clothes they wore originally symbolized the arrival of a boy from the God Realm, but in the early winter season, it was like a broken tent with air leaking everywhere, making them blue and purple all over. [

The soldiers of the Kira Army put on thicker clothes early on, and the treatment of the samurai was even better. The barrel-shaped body was covered with a thick burqa. Like, luxurious as Takigawa Tokimashi also put on a thick burqa for his mount Matsukaze.

The family crest of the Takigawa family is Maru Mii Ryo licensed by Yoshitoki Kira. Anyway, his family’s pedigree is unknown and it hurts. He said that he is a descendant of the Bando Heira family. Even if they knew that there was such a fake relative, they would probably be happy to recognize them. The name of Keijiro Takigawa, the number one general of the Kira family, did not come out of nowhere.

Takigawa Tokimashi is proud. He has never lost a single battle against the enemy, but today he once again stood at the forefront of the conical assault formation, willing to be the sharpest. Looking back, he saw the army of swords and guns like mountains and army flags like forests, like evil spirits Yasha's steel face immediately let out a sonorous roar like thunder: "I, Takigawa Keijiro, is ordered by the Lord to attack the rebellious minister Takeda Harunobu, but those who stand in the way will be killed, and you will follow me closely! Slow down a few steps and you will be a sac that doesn't deserve to wear this armor!"

"Follow the command of the general, and you will never hesitate to die!" Thousands of warriors roared like tigers, and the sound of mountains and forests shook for hundreds of miles. In an instant, thousands of cavalry rushed into the formation with a clattering sound of steel armor. Kira's cavalry each changed into their own weapons, and nearly half of the warriors gave up. A bulky and unwieldy big gun, with a mace in the left hand and a fan-shaped shield in the right, and a few long knives and battle axes hanging on the saddle. There is no way to fight at all.

Seeing this, seven or eight warriors of the Takeda Army jumped out angrily and responded angrily. As the saying goes, a general is a soldier, and a raging soldier is a raging nest. If people can't carry you, then seven or eight people will go up together, even if it's a little embarrassing, do they still have a choice at this point in the war?Everyone loves a dignified teacher, but what if conditions do not allow it?

Masake Iitomi led Takeda Akabe to the front. On his left was his elder brother Tomasaka Itomi, and on his right was Nobuharu Baba. Three thousand elites under his command charged forward against Chibei Kira, who was in full swing. The place where the two sides collided It happened to be the flattest pasture in Hachimangahara, and the waist-high withered yellow weeds were forced out of a path.

The generals of both sides locked the target at the same time, not to mention that tall and burly targets are very easy to find, and the white burqa over the heavy armor is also very eye-catching. It is simply the best reference in the dark night. Immediately, more than 500 horsemen got off their horses, drew their spears and formed a spear array.

The remaining knights on horseback turned to the left and right, forming an outflanking formation. In the blink of an eye, the Takeda Army completed a beautiful tactical encirclement. This improvised pocket formation, Takikawa Tokiyoshi's eyes were full of enthusiasm , Shouted loudly: "Chibei listens to the order! Spread out and charge left and right!"

The red armored cavalry immediately divided into two wings and rushed towards the two wings of the Takeda army. In terms of contingency measures against the enemy, Keijiro Takigawa, who has been instructed by Tokiyuki Yamamoto and Yoshitoki Kira all the year round, is no different from the long-standing veteran of the Takeda family, Nobuharu Baba Shout out badly, now that the troops have been divided, and the short distance of more than 20 meters is no way to join forces, the knights on horseback didn't even have a chance to stop, and they bumped straight into Kira Chibei's forward.

The elite cavalry of the two sides met again, and the knight rushing to the front roared excitedly when he saw that he was about to collide. The speed did not decrease but increased, driving the galloping horse to collide head-on with Takeda Akabe, and the instantaneous impact hit the sternum of the mount. Shattered and fell softly, the samurai who sat on it was thrown out by the powerful inertia, hitting the five or six cavalry led by Takeda Chibei's army and turned their backs.

On the frontal battlefield, the [-] elite Ashgaru belonging to the Kira Legion charged with their shields on their shoulders. The left-wing general Nagato Ogasawara led the Shinano people to block the Takeda Ashgaru who was trying to strangle the cavalry. , shouted: "Echigo's son Lang followed me and rushed to chop off the heads of the Takeda family. The victory of Shinano will be fought here!" (To be continued...)
