A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 134 23. Use the masses to bully the few and bring wealth to the river bank

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu also followed Koheita's Sunlight and Moonlight horse mark to find him, and the two met.

"Itagaki Suruga Mamoru asked for it?"

"Very lucky. Where is Zuo Ma Tou?"

"Saima Kawauchi Mamoru is a man (Japanese is a manly book?)"

"Shall we continue?"

"OK!"

"Hahahahahahaha." The two laughed at the same time, high-fived each other, and went to gather their teams and continue to attack Takeda Harunobu's main formation in Kuroshengshan.

Hokahata University, who was behind the Yamauchi army, was the last to arrive on the battlefield. It was not that his troops were of poor quality, but that Xiao Hetuo could not move fast enough, and he could not move fast because he carried a lot of supplies. However, he brought everyone's war horses. Fortunately, Kitahata University was the one to look after the horses. Not only was he able to eat well because he was in charge of the logistics, but he was also given a walk around to warm up. The horses were soon handed over to Xiaoping. Under the command of Yisheng in Taihe Mountain.

Everyone cheered, except for a few heroic ones whose horses were unclaimed, the other warriors and ministers mobilized their horses to cheer for the victory of Yamauchi.

Kodaira simply stopped riding and asked Yamauchi Yoshikatsu to take the lead in attacking with more than 300 cavalry (including Hatamoto samurai, horse-riding Feng Gong and iron cannon horses). He himself followed up with the regrouped Lianchuan soldiers and the remaining infantry to join the battle.

After Yamauchi Yoshikatsu took the lead in crossing the river, Koheita also began to form a team and slowly crossed the San River. As for the Yamauchi Army, most of the troops at the rear had already entered the battlefield. Soon the entire army crossed the Sankawa River in an orderly manner, driving away thousands of defeated troops of the A Army, and gradually approached Takeda Harunobu's main formation.

At the same time, Takeda Harunobu on Cangsheng Mountain had also discovered the defeated Jia Army all over the mountains and plains. On the one hand, he ordered all the troops under his command to be on guard, and on the other hand, he asked the generals at the banner to collect the broken troops and find a few people who could talk to him to understand the situation.

At this time, Takeda Harunobu's retainers group had already shown the power of the elite Koshinobu soldiers that roared all over the world. The first one to take down was Takeda Noriba Nobushige, the chief of the imperial family, the second one was the young master Takeda Taro Yoshinobu, the third one was Anayayama Izu Morinobumo (Katsuyori was still young and Kiso didn't surrender and came to be his son-in-law), the third one was The four of them are Noburyu Iemon, who inherited the Ichichi clan, and he is also the younger brother of Takeda Harunobu.

In addition to these three, Amari Bizen's Todai Dama Kinto sits at the head of the royal family, followed closely by Iitomi Hōbu Tomasa, Oyamada Yasaburo Etchu Shoxinyou and the teacher Ishiminbe Keimasa (who later became The racecourse Mino Shoxinharu) is tied to the left and right. There are also Tsuchiyaemon (the father of Tsuchiya Masahuan, who is known as the Kata Hand Thousand Slayer), Hara Hayato (that is, the Takeda clan leader Hara Shoin, who is known as the Koshinobu clan master who knows all the geography and customs in his mind), Atobe Daisuke (later said to be the father of Atobe Katsushi, one of the two treacherous ministers during Takeda Katsuyori's period), Komai Matakyo (son of Lao Komai Takahakusai, the mastermind of Takeda Nobutora's period) and other generals.

In addition, Morokaku Tosada, Asari Nobumasa, Hara Torain, Yokota Jurobei, Sone Uchitaku and his son, Ichikawa, Ema, Sane, and Nagasaka (that is, Nagasaka Nagakansai, was known as one of the two treacherous ministers during Takeda Katsuyori's reign). , the author does not agree with this statement), Tada (Tada Mitsuru, known as the famous night battle general of the East Kingdom), and a series of star-studded Koshin generals in the future will rise from under the account to outside the account.

Takeda Harunobu whispered a few words to his younger brother Norima Nobushige, who was no less talented than him, and Nobushige whispered back a few words briskly. The two brothers didn't know what they were talking about, but it was true that they didn't make a decision about the current situation. The few veterans below who were worried about the war situation were so anxious that they kept looking down the mountain from afar.

Seeing that the two brothers hadn't reached any conclusion yet, they took the initiative to gather the troops with their banners.

Takeda Harunobu thought the same thing. He was not the kind of prestigious samurai with a famous name, and he couldn't win over this group of defeated troops. So he happily agreed and asked General Hatsuka Denemon to assist him.

Amari Kodai strode out of the shogunate, one of his flag bearers also stood up, raised his horse flag, and dozens of accompanying samurai ashigaru followed him down the mountain. Hatsukano Denemon also called on some of his subordinates to follow him and set off from inside the curtain.

Since Itagaki Nobukata had previously sent back the news of a great victory over thousands of Yamauchi troops in the front line, Takeda Harunobu's army, which was originally eager to join them, did not immediately join forces with Itagaki Nobukata's Shinshu front line troops, but stopped and stationed its troops. On Kusho Mountain, we waited for Itagaki Nobukata to set up camp on the other side of the San River before making other calculations.

This actually resulted in the distance between Takeda Harunobu's own army and Itagaki Nobukata's first army being more than one mile apart. However, Takeda Harunobu was not in vain. He was a cautious and qualified general. When the entire army came to a halt, they arranged for the Aide-General Hatsuka Denemon to set up a vanguard formation at the Usan River, and placed part of the banner soldiers in front of the main formation. This not only facilitated contact with Itagaki Nobukata's headquarters, but also served as the vanguard of the main formation. .

Therefore, when Ganli Hutai arrived at the front camp, Chulu's troops had already heard the news and began to be alert and gather the defeated troops.

Ganlihutai continued to collect the defeated troops while checking the situation. After he stood on the only high slope and looked at the battlefield environment, he realized that he was too reckless. Takeda's first formation only had three to four hundred men, and the Hatamoto soldiers brought by him and Hatsukano Denemon were only four hundred. Almost full.

But he saw that the Yamauchi army assembled at the Unkawa River had at least five thousand people, and most of the troops had been completed. The main group was crossing the river, four hundred against five thousand. In history, there are no famous generals who have won with this ratio, and even this kind of There are still quite a few recorded battles, but Ganlihutai does not dare to use his mere 400 people to dream of that one-in-a-million dream.

He immediately sent back the defeated troops of Shinano Sengata's troops back to Takeda Harunobu's main formation (which would affect the morale of Hatsukanobu's troops), asked him to assemble and prepare these defeated troops, and asked Takeda Harunobu to immediately mobilize the army. Come and fight.

Otherwise, he felt that at his age, it was very likely that he would have to commit his life to such an unknown battlefield because of such a battle.

Of course, as a master of bad fighting for thirty years, Ganli Hutai would never sit still and wait for death. He began to use all available resources at hand to ensure his own safety.

First, they tried every means to boost morale and promised each person 300 yuan after the war (you can only get it if you are alive, but you will get nothing if you die. It is really a business without capital). Then quickly let the soldiers form a formation. As long as the gun formation is set up and it takes half an hour, Takeda Harunobu's army will arrive. It is still unclear who will win.

The showdown at Sankawa with huge disparity began.
