A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 138 27. Fierce fight in Cang Shengshan

By this time in the battle, Uedahara had already changed his appearance.

Although the Yamauchi clan's military strength is stronger than that of Murakami Yoshikiyo, the aggressive and fast warfare that Murakami Yoshikiyo's army had at that time no longer exists.

Although most of Itagaki's defeated troops were dispersed, they did not disrupt Takeda Harunobu's main formation as expected. Now it has turned into a frontal battle, with more than 10,000 Yamauchi troops facing Takeda's 5,000 troops.

Takeda Harunobu was still able to handle the soldiers who commanded the 5,000-strong Kaibi headquarters. Except for the Oyamada Division, which had more than 1,000 people, he only left a small number of Hatakemoto and Ginxi in his camp. All the remaining troops were sent out to resist the Yamauchi clan's three-sided siege.

Takeda Harunobu relied on the fact that his soldiers had fully rested and had a good meal after marching to Uedahara, while the Ejirizu of the Yamauchi Army entered the battle immediately after marching here, and their physical strength was not enough. All members of the Yamauchi army (Kohirata and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu) had been fighting for three or four hours, and most of them had been fighting for more than an hour, and their physical strength was even weaker.

However, the Yamauchi Army quickly defeated the Takeda Army in two battles, and the whole army breathed a sigh of relief. This is a very nihilistic thing that cannot be seen or touched. But because of this tone, the soldiers of the Yamauchi Army seemed to have taken an elixir, fighting bravely to be the first, without fear of life or death.

After all, now has come the final test of will between the two armies. Whoever can't stand it first will be finished first.

Fortunately, on the Yamauchi side, the one leading the attack was Oishi Saburo Haruhide, who had not experienced a long battle before. On the left side of the two wings was Kitahata University, and on the right side was Uncle Tsuna who was preparing to break through the flanks with the flag. As for Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, who commanded more than 300 cavalry, he was guerrillas around the battlefield, looking for flaws in Army A.

As for the Takeda Chibei unit that was so loud in later generations, I’m really sorry that it doesn’t exist for the time being. At this time, there were only more than 200 Jia Army, horse-riding warriors and Feng Gong people on the entire battlefield, and most of them were serving as officers at the grassroots level.

The Kabi soldiers during Takeda Nobutora's era were also very clear. They were composed of ashigaru warriors who were fierce, brave and brave. There has never been any record of a large-scale assault on the enemy by an organized cavalry. However, Takeda Harunobu later captured Shinano, and there were many soldiers and enough food for Hiro. Finally, the proportion of cavalry in the Takeda Army was increased.

In "Nobunaga Kōki", it is said that a certain person of the Takeda Army attacked a certain person with hundreds of cavalry, but it is clearly mentioned that the only one who attacked the Oda Nobunaga Army on horseback and wearing red uniforms was Nishi Ueno Sengata's Kohata Division. And where are Kobata Kentushige and Kobata Nobuzada at this time? I'm sorry, but I am enjoying being the brother-in-law and son-in-law of Nagano Yamasa, working for the Minawa Nagano family.

Therefore, the scene on the battlefield at this time seemed very strange to Koheita. In the game, the cavalry S, cavalry A, Akabei Shadow Strike Woodpecker, and the Takeda cavalry generals who drove the Iron Wall Assault III were leading the ashigaru fiercely. and fought with the Yamauchi Army. On the other hand, the Yamauchi Army had hundreds of cavalry, galloping left and right, creating one trouble after another for the Takeda Army.

The long distance between the two sides makes it easy for you to come and go, and the gap between the Yamauchi Army and the A Army is revealed. Although Army A is an ordinary warrior, they often come up at the rear of the battle group with a plain gun as a substitute. Almost the entire army is composed of combat soldiers. The Yamauchi Army still has more than a thousand logistics personnel. These people are still the same as before. They are full of martial arts when making random arrests, but they are unbearable when fighting.

However, there are more than 4,000 people in the Yamauchi Army, and Army A is less than 2,000. The slight gap in quality can be made up by quantity, not to mention that the Yamauchi Army is not a weakling. (The Uchida-gun Yamauchi-go area was created from the Ina-gun area. In history, the samurai and ashigaru in the Ina area have always been known for their bravery and fearlessness. Historically, Takato Yoritsugi even dared to attack Takeda Harunobu with a small number of soldiers, and the people of the Ina area had a Despite his indomitable spirit, he lost to Takeda Harunobu but continued to fight for years, and finally surrendered after being exhausted).

At this time, Koheita was looking at the battlefield from the midfielder position. Hokahata University, who took the lead, was obviously no match for Ishimin's tribe, and Saburo Oishi's tribe was evenly matched with Naito Xiu's tribe. Only Uncle Tsuna's wing, with its armor intact, and the many warriors, began to show victory.

Opposite him, the Yokota Bitchu defender Takamatsu only had a hundred Ashigaru men, and could not withstand the full-force assault of Tsunada's uncle's Hatamoto samurai's thirty cavalry and four hundred Ashigaru cavalry.

Xiaopingta could see clearly from his horse that the number of soldiers under Yokota's command was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It's not that Army A is not good at fighting, it's that one gun of Army A is more powerful than the three or four guns of the internal army. Two fists cannot defeat four hands, and a good tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves. The well-known Yokota Bichu defender was riding on his horse, shouting fiercely for battle, and he was fighting with several Yamauchi soldiers on horseback. One against three, although he was not at a disadvantage, he was increasingly outnumbered.

The battlefield was full of dangers. Yokota Takamatsu, who saw the number of his subordinates dwindling, led several of his own cavalry to fend off the siege of the Yamauchi army, and tried to use his superior martial arts to kill Uncle Tsunara and repel the Yamauchi army.

Uncle Tsunayoshi had just killed Amari Kotai, and it was a time of high morale, so Yokota and Takamatsu were not allowed to stop shouting and calling for battle. He is not stupid. You want to kill me, and I still want to reason with you? Just ask the old family members to hold up the sun and moonlight horse sign and call the nearby knights in the mountains to join together.

Seeing the constant swaggering of the sun and moonlight horses, more than twenty Hatamoto samurai gathered around Uncle Tsuna, and rode away towards Yokota and Takamatsu. There is no consideration for a fair fight, friendship comes first. Seven or eight spears were pointed at Yokota Takamatsu and he directly greeted him without caring about your moral reputation as a samurai.

After all, Yokota Takamatsu had a small number of people. Two or three of his followers managed to knock away the seven or eight Yamauchi cavalry who were starting for him. The siege of Uncle Tsunaliang and more than ten cavalrymen behind him had to be resisted by himself.

The result was obvious. Yokota Takamatsu's horse was stabbed on the spot, and a Yamauchi Hatamoto stabbed Yokota Takamatsu in the arm. The shoulder armor of the fine armor was chopped to pieces on the spot. Yokota Takamatsu groaned, teetering on the verge of falling off his horse.

Several of Yokota's cavalrymen who were still fighting screamed in surprise, fled from their opponents, and came to rescue Yokota Takamatsu, who had been knocked off his horse.

I only heard Uncle Tsuna Liang shouting: "Don't leave Yokota Beichushou, don't leave Yokota Beichushou!"

Looking at Yokota and Takamatsu's troops, they are already exhausted, and Uncle Tsuna is about to break through this wing.

Takeda Harunobu's last trump card on the top of Kurosheng Mountain was that about 600 people from the Oyamada Division in the prefecture, commanded by Oyamada Echichumaku, hurried down the mountain to support Yokota's troops.

The battle has reached a fever pitch.
