A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 297 30. Takeda’s Left Wing Total Collapse

"Victory!"

"Victory."

"Don't worry about the Takeda clan's miscellaneous soldiers. Each team will go after the Takeda clan leader, the general!"

Small soldiers don't matter, if you kill one more samurai, you will lose one more point of Takeda Harunobu's capital. The samurai is dead, even if he has ashigaru 100,000, it will have no effect!

The Uesugi military envoys with the Bizi flag hanging on their backs and the Yamauchi military envoys with the Eryinliang hanging on their backs could no longer hold themselves back and flew down the mountain, loudly announcing military orders.

The soldiers on the left wing of the Takeda Army dispersed amidst the urging bells. The samurai could no longer restrain the soldiers, and the soldiers could no longer reunite in an array.

Soldiers from the same hometown gathered together and looked at each other with their eyes and hands. No longer able to take care of the war, they retreated, or rather retreated, towards the direction of Kaijinping and Chikuma River.

The ground along the way was full of flags, swords, spears, armor, and even many personal belongings discarded by Takeda's sergeants. The horses, grain, and money of the left-wing Xiaohe pack team were even more unmanaged. Apart from some being robbed by some, more were scattered in the wild.

The Uesugi army, which had been fighting fiercely for a day, was the first to stop the pursuit. Firstly, they were really tired, and secondly, they needed to "clean up" the loot all over the ground.

This was not the case with the Yamauchi Army. Each team of samurai could not care less about the petty profits on the ground. Their only prize was one - the head of Takeda Norima Nobushige.

Looking at Takeda Nobushige riding out alone, Kanai Imofukusai felt mixed emotions. Takeda Nobushige suffered such a heavy defeat, lost his army and lost his army. He had no face to go back to see Kai's elders, and already had a death wish.

But Takeda Nobushige cannot die. If he dies, there will be no samurai with enough weight to advise Takeda Harunobu on changing the military strategy of the Takeda Army.

Hundreds of cavalry attack day and night, and iron cannons are fired like thunder. Is it useful? Very useful! The times are progressing, Kai's gold should be used to purchase iron cannons and war horses, and the person who can persuade Takeda Harunobu is the Takeda Noribu Nobushige in front of him!

"Why are you still standing there! Go and escort Noriyama-sama to retreat!" Kanai Imofukusai took the one Takeda Nobushige left here that is exactly the same as the Suwa Hoshoin's white bear fur bag. 【Note 1】

Takeda Nobushige's horsemen immediately understood that Kanai Imofukusai was going to die on his own behalf.

Several horseback riders urged the horses to rush towards Takeda Nobushige. They surrounded and crowded Takeda Nobushige with their horses. They forced Takeda Nobushige's horses to change their paths and turn around, and surrounded Takeda Nobushige to retreat.

As for the remaining horses, one person bundled a Takeda 4-cut and 3-step horse mark with red background and black stripes on his body, while the other person held a large flag with the name of Takeda Nomiya. More than ten people on horseback surrounded Kanai Imofukusai with a ghost face.

"Takeda Norima Nobushige is here, who dares to fight to the death with me!"

"Takeda Norima Nobushige is here, who dares to fight to the death with me!"

"Takeda Norima Nobushige is here, who dares to fight to the death with me!"

Takeda's left wing was defeated too quickly. Tens of thousands of troops from both sides crowded into a small piece of plain south of Hachimangahara. Crowds of people and horses filled the mountains and plains. The turns of several cavalrymen did not attract the attention of others at all.

As for Takeda Nobushige’s shouts, one person’s shouts in a group of tens of thousands of people? Sorry, not many people heard it.

The Yamauchi Army only saw Takeda Nobushige's horse with a high and swaggering look. "Takeda Nobushige" was rushing back towards the Yamauchi Army under the escort of horse and horse cavalry. He was buying time for the retreating Takeda Army soldiers.

Koheta only hated that Takeda defeated so many troops that he could not get in front of Takeda Nobushige.

But when the front team members Kanai Meigoro and Iwase Motomasa saw Takeda Nobushige rushing over, not only did they not have the slightest bit of fear, they were filled with excitement and excitement.

Even Imagawa Yoshiuchi was heading towards the Takeda Shikuri Hisigoshi. No matter which samurai of the Yamauchi Army on the battlefield only had that worthless flag in his eyes.

Those with advanced skills dared to ride alone, while those with weaker skills made serious promises to their subordinates, Ashigaru, and planned to kill their master with random punches.

"Yamauchi clan flag, Imai Meigoro Hideharu came to ask for advice!" Imai Meigoro was the closest, and arrived first with more than twenty ashigaru. He faced a Takeda cavalry and went up with a sword.

After running for a while, he jumped up in the air, and the man and the knife merged into one, and he chopped down in the blink of an eye. Before the Takeda horse could draw his spear to stab him, Imai Meigoro's sword had already arrived.

A left arm flew out directly, and the Takeda horse fell off his horse with a scream, and he could not die anymore.

Imai Meigoro immediately threw down his dachi. After standing still for a moment, he immediately pulled out a shorter dachi and cut off a horse's leg as soon as the cat's waist rolled to the ground. The war horse neighed, tried to jump up but failed, and fell heavily. Even the samurai was stabbed to the core by Yamauchi Ashigaru, and he died in agony.

Imai Meigoro held the sword in his hand and killed quickly, but Takeda Nobushige had many riders, and two more riders rushed up and stabbed with their spears.

"Yamauchi clan Takaten Jinjo Dai, Ashigaru general Iwase Tojiro Motomasa came to ask for advice!"

Iwase Motomasa held it with one shot and rescued Imai Meigoro.

Before he could finish his words, a buzzer flew towards him, making a sharp sound that broke through the air and was even harsh.

"Yamauchi clan Tamataki Castle, Ashigaru generals Ogasawara and Shiro Nagamasa came to see you!"

Kiso Inspector Ogasawara Nagamasato, who was supervising the Kiso soldiers, didn't arrive yet, but his bow and arrow took the lead!

Several people came out of the team with a few subordinates relying on their strong martial arts. In a short period of time, they reached an agreement to deal with the horses and some infantry who followed Takeda Nobushige first, otherwise no one would be able to make a contribution.

And "Takeda Nobushige" was naturally extremely brave. He sat high on his horse, stabbed left and slashed right, and killed several Yamauchi Ashigaru. Takeda Magai is not a weak hand either. He has excellent armor and his martial arts skills are quite commendable.

Although the Yamauchi army surrounded them, they could do nothing.

"Chen San, go up and fire a round of guns first!" Xiao Pingtai finally joined the siege with dozens of his men.

Several soldiers in the Takeda Army immediately stood in front of Takeda Nobushige. A dozen iron cannons fired a salvo. Five or six Takeda Army fell to the ground. Before they were completely dead, someone came to hit them.

All the loyal horses are now withered, Takeda Nobushige has few guards around him, and the final moment has arrived.

He laughed and threw the slippery spear on the ground, pulled out the tachi from his waist, held Takeda Shikurihisi's horse mark in one hand, and rushed forward with the tachi brandished in the other.

With both guns and knives down, the heroic figure fell to the ground unyieldingly.

"Takeda Norigu is asking for death?" "You are asking for death!" "You are indeed asking for death!" "Yes!"

As the sun sets, the bloody battle on Kawanaka Island is about to end.

[Note 1]: In addition to Nobutanobu and Noburen, there are many people who have served as Kagemusha for Takeda Harunobu. At most, five Takeda Harunobu can appear on the battlefield at the same time. So it's not only normal for Nobushige to use the same bag, but it's also intentional.
