A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 137 26. The beginning of the final battle of Uedahara

Yamauchi Yoshiharu probably felt that he was at the most proud and loyal moment in his entire life (we will discuss this later in Luo), astride a majestic maroon war horse. He used the tools in his hands to issue mobilization orders one after another, enjoying the admiration of thousands of people.

A well-known general of the Yamauchi clan rides a tall and handsome war horse, with one strange two-horse flag after another, and various flags of Fujinomaru, Tsurunomaru, flower-shaped rhombus, and danmon fans, swaggering together. into a magnificent sea of ​​flags. There are countless samurai ashigaru under the banner, and their armors stained with blood and dust are particularly brave.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu looked at the huge army under his command, which was as fierce as the mountains and the sea, arranged in an overwhelming army formation, and teams moved quickly.

It is no lie that the flags cover the sky and the tigers are flying everywhere. The Yamauchi army, which has won two quick victories in a row, is at the moment when its morale is at its highest.

The soldiers looked with reverence at the commander who could lead them to victory, their fiery eyes full of sincerity. The warriors cheered even more, as every victory represented military fame and honor.

Xiao Ping Tai's subordinates fought from 6 or 7 in the morning to 12 noon now. They were running back and forth. They were tired, so they were arranged to enter Houjie.

For this reason, Xiao Pingtai led his army to pause and wait for the entire army to pass before following up. When the last flag team set off, Koheita met Uncle Tsuna again (Uncle Tsuna was in Yamauchi Yoshiji's flag team. This was normal. Today he might belong to this team, and tomorrow he might belong to that team. Anyway, he was a conscript. ). The "flush" on Uncle Tsunaliang's face had not faded yet, and he was extremely excited. Seeing that Xiaopingta was also in the back group, he hurried over to say hello.

Xiao Pingtai saw his old family members who were not supposed to go into battle this time. Although they were over fifty years old and looked like they were about to drift away from the vicissitudes of life, they were also excited. In the cloth bag behind him was a wooden box that he had found somewhere, and it was tied firmly to his shoulder.

"Amari Bizen?" Xiaoheita smiled and pointed at the box.

"Yes, yes, it is none other than Takeda Clan's old general, Amari Bi, who is guarding the front." Uncle Tsunaliang was very proud. Killing a samurai at the level of an old castle lord was a great achievement, and it was difficult to encounter him easily.

"Uncle has made such a great contribution, his reputation for bravery is high, and he has made another step forward! Congratulations!" Xiao Pingtai was also very happy. After all, the two of them belong to the same path as sisters.

"Let's go, there's a Takeda meal ahead." The two laughed and set off together.

At the same time, there was already a fierce and cruel scene around Cang Shengshan.

A famous young warrior of the Yamauchi clan, he was born in the Ashikaga sect and was highly selected by Tsinghua University. His family's glorious family, Hosokawa Saime, took the lead in public affairs. He knew that only by defeating the Takeda family who was blocking his way, could he have a chance to rush to the aid of the Eighth Prince's Hosokawa Harugu, and save his father who was in danger.

As a new member of the Yamauchi clan's territorial army, the Ejiri people are the core of the powerful and evil party who have defected to them one after another between the battle of Shimoyama and the battle of Ejiri. Their number is only three or four hundred, but in the past two years, this group of people has relied on the power of the Yamauchi family to expand their power in Ejiri, and they can also pull up an army of more than a thousand people.

Such a force of about a thousand people was the entire elite of the Ejiri people, and at this time, most of them were concentrated in the team of Hosokawa Minomasa. As the vanguard of the four thousand members of the Ejiri clan, they were the first to attack the Takeda clan's military formation.

One side represents the noble family and the martial names of the ancestors of the Hosokawa clan for more than ten generations. The two horse flags are accompanied by the heroic figure of Hosokawa Sai Onomema as she gallops in the Takeda formation. The body is covered in a shiny black body with five pieces of armor that fit close to the body. He stands forward with his head in front of the sky, and in his hand is a big gun that is completely black all over the body. There is no enemy in sight.

In front of it are Iitomi Hōbu Toramasa, known as the Tiger of Koyama, and Takeda clan elder Komai Ukyo Susumu (this person may be unknown, but his father Komai Takabasai is the mastermind of Takeda Nobutora, who unified Kobi One of the greatest contributors, with an extremely high status. The Komai family ranked very high among the elders of the Takeda family.) Even though the armored sergeants and horses were strong and the troops were well-organized, they could not withstand the power of Hosokawa Saimemasa. A violent assault.

In particular, Matsushita Ao, the lord of Sotoji Temple, and Isshiki Miyauchi, the young assistant of Ejiri Castle, kept going back and forth to invite reinforcements and flanks of the Takeda clan. The army of 1,400 to 500 people led by Hosokawa Harimesa suppressed the southwest of the A army. The two main forces behind it.

Takeda Harunobu, who was in the formation, watched as the northern Amari Kotaishi's troops were delaying him in the final desperate assault, while at the same time he was unable to defeat Hosokawa Saime in the southwest who was eager to save her father. Due to the lack of troops, the battlefield is already stretched thin and there are leaks from all directions.

Seeing the time that Amari Kotaei fought for with his life for him, Takeda Harunobu appeared to be sitting firmly on the horse, but he still involuntarily asked from the left and right: "The Iitomi War Department has not defeated him yet. The Hosokawa girl?"

"I'm sorry, Iitomi Hyobu is in a tough fight." Takeda Harunobu's most beloved (yes, how can you be loved? The love story of Takeda Shingen and Kasaka Masanobu is already well known to everyone) Attendant Kasuga Torasuna bowed his head and answered. Naito repairman Ryo Masahide next to him saw Kasuga Torasuna finished speaking and also added: "My lord, go to support the military department."

"No need, Yamauchi Habayashi (Ukonoe Major General Tang's name Habayashi Chulang) Shinano Mamoru has arrived." Takeda Harunobu did not sigh, he stood up.

Down the hillside, the various reserve units of the internal army were now arranged in tight formations, changing from a fast-moving mode to a state of slowly approaching the enemy. All the troops roared in unison, and there was a small commotion among the Takeda troops on the hillside.

"Let's all go meet Yamauchi Habayashi Shinano Mamoru." Takeda Harunobu announced loudly, waving his military fan.

"Minbubu, repair, I'll assign you two to go and fight the enemy. Is there any doubt?" Takeda Harunobu's military fan pointed at Ishi Minbu Keimasa and Naito, repairman Ryo Masahide, and then loudly ordered these two to become the star-studded Koshu in the future. Famous generals came out to fight.

Soon, two troops, Keimasa Ishiminbu and Naito Xiuyang Masahide, came forward to respond to the enemy and withstood several times the strength of the Yamauchi army face to face. The two armies only had a slight contact and then started a fierce close combat. After all, the Yamauchi army's combat power was slightly inferior. After being blocked by a small number of soldiers, they were unable to advance even an inch, and instead became anxious.

Yokota Bitchu, Takamatsu and Kohata Oribe Toromori came forward together as back-up players. And be ready at any time to block other reserves of the Yamauchi Army from launching attacks on Cang Shengshan.

The thousands of defeated Army A on the battlefield had basically been driven away from the battlefield at this time. The more than 6,000 Yamauchi Army with high morale rushed towards the Army of less than 2,000 people, launching a wave like a furious wave in the sea. Another wave of charge.
