A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 140 29. The three armies jointly attack Takeda

Oyamada Nobunaga fought and retreated at the same time, and there were six or seven hundred people led by his brother Oyamada Zaemon on the hillside. They were all his own and remained in the prefecture, and they could not be left here.

He slowly retreated with dozens of Oyamada soldiers who were guarding him, but he seemed to take himself a little too seriously and didn't know what to do. There is no obstacle between Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and Takeda Honjin, so why would he care about this little miscellaneous fish.

When Oyamada Nobuyu reunited with his brother Oyamada Zaemon on the mountainside, he lamented that he had escaped with his life. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu and Uncle Tsuna have dealt with all the miscellaneous fish, and are galloping up the mountain on foot and on horseback, preparing to give Takeda Harunobu a thunderous blow.

At this time, Oyamada Nobuyu took a look at the situation. The four teams of Yamashita (Iitomi Hebu who resisted Hosokawa Saime, Komai Ukyo who resisted Matsushita Ao, Ishiminbu who resisted Hokkaido University's professors, and Naito Xiubu who resisted Oishi Saburo ), and the support team Obata Oribe were all surrounded and fought hard from all sides.

Takeda Harunobu was left with only the former Hayabusa who led an army of one hundred and ten cavalry, and a few trainees. The criticality of the situation is obvious to all. If he is not rescued, Takeda Harunobu may have to answer here.

Oyamada Nobuyu thought about his son who was wandering around the Uzakikan in Kaifu. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, called his brothers, and rushed to the Takeda main camp with the remaining six to seven hundred troops without any formation.

He was lucky enough to arrive one step earlier than Yamauchi Yoshikatsu. Everyone inside the curtain looked anxious, except Takeda Harunobu, who was still sitting quietly on the horse. Kinxi was helping him bring the Suwa Hoshoin clad white bear fur. Kabuto, a tachi-wielding attendant also knelt down quietly beside him.

Everyone inside the curtain was already armed, even the pharmacists, handymen, and grooms all picked up long spears or short knives, ready to deal with sudden battles at any time.

The leader of the formation, Haru Hayato (former Masain), sat at the base of Takeda Harunobu, commanding the remaining soldiers to move wooden fences, set up wooden poles and bamboo bundles, use iron cannons and ashigaru to check the length of match ropes, and long-steed ashigaru line up to meet the enemy.

Takeda Harunobu and Hara Hayato saw Oyamada Shinyu running into the curtain in panic, and Hara Hayato nodded to him. Takeda Haruhin had a somewhat confused expression, "What's the matter with the Echu Defense Force?"

"Hundreds of horsemen on the left side of Yamauchi are not far from the tent. Your Highness, please leave quickly. Your Majesty will resist here for a while." Oyamada Nobuyu knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said to Takeda Harunobu urgently and quickly.

After hearing Oyamada Nobu's words of loyalty, Takeda Harunobu was noncommittal. The Hara Hayato next to him seemed not to have heard the conversation between the two of them. He stood up, put up his horse flag, took a few attendants, put his pocket under his arm and walked out of the curtain, directing the remaining soldiers to continue to resist.

"Yasaburo (that is, Oyamada Nobushige, the Oyamada Nobushige who had two to three thousand soldiers and horses to rescue Takeda Katsuyori and turned him away. In the end, Takeda Katsuyori was trapped to death on Mount Tenmu.) He is twelve years old. Right?" Takeda Harunobu asked something completely irrelevant at this time.

"Yes, Yasaburo is already twelve years old." "We should be ready to serve him, don't you think so, Ezakamatsu?"

Oyamada Nobuyu thanked him, and no longer waited for any instructions, he walked out of the curtain with his spear.

At this time, a loud shout came from outside the curtain.

"The direct descendant of the Seiwa Genji Kawauchi clan, the Ashikaga clan, and Yamauchi Sasumatou Yoshikatsu came to ask for advice from Takeda Osen!"

"After the Fujiwara Kita family Kanin-ryu, the regent left minister Tadahira, Tsunayoshi, the captain of Zikojizaemon, came to ask for advice!"

"A member of the Yamauchi family is a kind of penhead, and the chief accountant of Yamauchi came to ask for advice!"

Outside the curtain, one after another, the generals representing the Yamauchi clan have clashed with Takeda Harunobu's main formation.

The exciting sounds of fighting, the angry roars, the fighting of soldiers, the roar of iron cannons, and the sound of bows and arrows. All the chaos filled Takeda Harunobu's ears. Takeda Harunobu, who was still sitting on the horse and unmoved, didn't know what he was thinking at this time.

Koheita was currently participating in the siege of Naito's repair headquarters, and did not accompany Yamauchi Yoshikatsu or Uncle Tsunade up the mountain to attack Takeda Harunobu's main formation. However, this also means that Koheita lost the opportunity to see the Tiger of Kai, which is a pity.

Naito repaired the remaining four to five hundred men, but they slowly showed signs of decline under the attack of more than a thousand Yamauchi troops. But Army A always has such tenacity and can fight while the coach is still there. It can not only fight against the wind, but also fight against the wind. As long as there is a chance, I will continue to fight.

Seeing that the soldiers in front of him were unable to attack for a long time, Koheita became anxious. He commanded the ashigaru from each team under his command to come forward in rotation, constantly consuming the scarce physical strength of the soldiers of the Naito Repair Station of the A Army, looking for loopholes at any time.

Saburo Oishi, who was besieging Naito Xiu together with Koheita, was also pressing forward step by step, and the soldiers under his command were thinking wildly. Desperately, he shot a rain of arrows at Naito's repair shop.

However, although Koheita and Saburo Oishi fought hard and even went to the front line to lead the troops to pounce, they were still short of taking down Naito's repair department.

At this time, Xiaoheita saw a young ashigaru not far away. His body was obviously not fully developed. He was panting. He was not wearing armor. A formation hat on his head was all his protection.

As for why Xiaoheita was impressed by him, it was because this young man could play the 筚篯, also known as Guanzi in Tang Dynasty. It played loud and clear, and it was a must-have instrument for musicians in many shrines and temples. And this young man once blew it when he was resting in camp, not long ago.

Koheita then rode his horse and came to the ashigaru. "What's your name? Why didn't you do the military service last year in Lianchuan?"

When the man saw Xiaopingta coming, he immediately knelt down and said, "The younger one's name is Qigui. Because his father passed away last year and was unable to serve, he came here."

Xiaopingta thought that he was also a poor person. His father died at a young age, but when he thought about it, he was actually the same. There is nothing I can do except show sympathy.

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen." Qi Gui replied respectfully.

"Are you taking Juozhen with you?" Xiao Pingtai had an idea.

"Take it with you, take it with you." Qi Gui took out the bamboo basket from a bag behind his back.

"Do you know the shrine's festival music during the winter solstice and May Festival? Can you play it?" Xiaopingta asked him happily.

"I can, but I'm not very skilled." "That's enough, come and serve me and be my ashigaru."

"Aji, Heiroku get the taiko drum, Tatsumi get my drum and beat it!"

"yes!"

(Guess what music is going to be played. As a reminder, the emperor sometimes played this music when he ascended the throne)
