A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

There was a sudden commotion in the Takeda Army's "丿" formation. There was a trace of commotion in the originally relatively tight formation.

Tsuchiya Sozo Masahune, who was located on the outskirts of Takeda's main formation, actually surpassed Oyamada and other Japanese troops on the left and right flanks, and surpassed Yamagata Shokage's troops who were the first, and launched an attack on the Yamauchi army with only a hundred or ten troops.

The generals in the Yamauchi Army's main formation looked puzzled. What kind of strategy was this?

The Battle of Donggou? Zhiyuan charges alone? The rest of the line is watching the show from behind?

Just as it was strange, about a hundred people from the Komiyayama team in Takeda's main formation also rushed out and joined the Tsuchiya team. Then came successive small teams of dozens of people, constantly joining the fast-moving Tsuchiya team.

About 200 meters away from the front of Ogasawara Sadake's headquarters on the outskirts of the Yamauchi Army, the soldiers who rushed out of the Takeda Army formed a slight formation, and about 500 people formed three small front formations.

Then the Takeda Honjin Formation began to beat the drums, and the Yamagata Shokage Division, who was the first to attack, shouted and moved towards the Yamauchi Army in unison.

"This is Army A's strategy of letting the dead soldiers break through, and then the army presses on them!" Xiao Pingtai was a little unsure.

There is also an old father-in-law sitting in the formation. Xiaopingta feels that his old father-in-law is in poor health now and can only ride slowly. But seeing as he is over sixty, it is normal these days. If nothing else, at least he's in good spirits.

"Which armored troops are attacking?"

"Tsuchiya Sozo, Komiyayamachi Zenyu, Akiyama Kii..." Murakami Yoshimitsu loudly signed up while observing.

"They are all the backbone of the former Daisen Nobuchika, and only these people can serve as death soldiers." Hosokawa Harumiya had a clear account in his heart, and Takeda's retainers had already made it clear.

"Sir, what do you mean?" Xiaopingtai believed in her father-in-law's judgment.

"It's pretty much what you expected. It should be a desperate attack on our side. After opening the gap, the Yamagata Guards will expand it. Finally, the Takeda main team will rush forward in a swarm and fight to determine the outcome."

After handing a bowl of hot tea to his old father-in-law to calm him down, Xiaoheita picked up Taro Yamauchi and watched the battle together.

The Yamauchi Army is the most common three-stage horizontal formation. The Yamauchi elite troops of this formation are stationed on the high slopes of Ariga, so they are not afraid of artillery hitting friendly forces. Even if Army A has not yet entered the firing range, it is not worthwhile to fire at hundreds of people. At least someone of Shanxian Changjing’s level would be worth the money if they shot him.

On the other hand, those on the front line were cannon fodder for the four major Shinano people. Even if Xiaoping was too willing, the other retainers of the Yamauchi family would not allow them to hand over cannons to them for use on the front line.

A vassal's vassal, not my vassal!

Ogasawara is Yamauchi's retainer, but Ogasawara's retainer is not my Yamauchi retainer. Let him die if he dies. It would be better if more of them die.

"Send an order to have Shen Zhidian entangle the dead soldiers of Army Jia and not allow them to break through the front line!"

"In addition, tell Nainai to pay attention to the Ogasawara team who is attacked by the armored army, and be prepared for the collapse of the Ogasawara team at any time!"

All that's left is to watch the battle. It's just a small team of a few hundred people anyway. You can't start mobilizing an army of 25,000 just for this few people.

As for the Takeda Army that started to move, despite the loud beating of the drums, except for Yamagata Masakage who walked faster, the other teams were just advancing slowly. Who knows if it is to maintain the formation or what it means.

"Zoma Yun, let Ogasawara and Shiro from the 11th Squadron go pick up virgins and watch the battle!" Koheita felt a little uneasy.

It's not to monitor Hosokawa Saime, but mainly to let Ogasawara's standing team of Hatamoto elite soldiers go over and keep an eye on it. There is a high probability that Ogasawara Sadaki will not use all his strength to stop Tsuchiya Masahashi, and he can plug the leak.

"I am the general in charge of the Ogasawara clan, and Aoyagi Ise guards Kiyonaga. Please dare to fight with me, general!"

On the front line of the formation was a samurai whose name Xiaopingta had barely heard of. The old father-in-law next to him probably knew what Xiaopingta was thinking. "The Lord of Aoyagi Castle, the second son of Nishina Shinano Morimori Kuni."

"Oh~~~" Koheita and Yamauchi Taro seemed to have some enlightenment together, and then they both didn't understand.

No matter who he is, whether he can beat Tsuchiya Masahiro is the key!

"I am Tsuchiya Sozo!" With a loud shout, Tsuchiya Masahiro came up and shot him.

The soldiers of the Tsuchiya team all had a death wish, and when fighting, they risked their lives and fought for the lead. Not only did Tsuchiya Masahune suppress Aoyagi Kiyoshi, but the miscellaneous soldiers also suppressed Ogasawara's miscellaneous soldiers. The situation was one-sided.

Several members of Tsuchiya Masahiro's family stepped forward to tattoo Qingyanagi Qingchang with spears. Qingyanagi Qingchang, who had already struggled to parry, felt a little braver. Roll directly to the ground, and you may get injured if you fall off the horse.

The attack of the miscellaneous soldiers was neutralized, but Tsuchiya Masahiro followed him like a shadow and shot him in the pouted buttocks. Everyone knows that these warriors have a lot of equipment. The piece that protects the buttocks is called the grass fold, which is usually made of stacked armor or woven chain armor.

Normally it seems to be okay, but when it was really stabbed by a gun, it collapsed immediately.

Qingyanagi Qingchang was penetrated from the buttocks, and was spanked diagonally. He was completely exhausted.

"Aoyagi Isemamo has been killed!" The Tsuchiya team cheered.

Having the upper hand, it was much easier for those who fought. There were more than 2,000 people in Ogasawara, but a small gap was opened by a mere 500 people.

Ogasawara Sadake felt a toothache. Although he was not prepared to do anything for the Yamauchi family, if he was beaten to pieces just by meeting him, then he would not be able to lose face.

With a quick glance, Asano Kyuemon, who was close to him, understood and rushed out with his gun in hand and on his horse.

This Asano Kyuemon is considered a fierce general. He lived in Kyoto with Ogasawara Nagatoki and was loyal to the Ogasawara clan. Coupled with his excellent pistol skills, Ogasawara Sadake has high hopes for him.

"The Lord of Renma Castle in Azum County, the son of Asano Shikibu Shaosuke." Seeing two pairs of dazzling eyes staring at him, Hosokawa Harumiya could only continue to introduce.

I still don’t recognize him, and he’s a character I’ve never heard of. Koheita and Yamauchi Taro continue to watch the show, no! It’s to watch the battle!

Asano Kyuemon's marksmanship is really good. He and Tsuchiya Masahashi were fighting on horseback, and they were not at a disadvantage. They went back and forth. But before he could be proud for a long time, Tsuchiya Masahashi put the gun forward with his right arm, pulled out the ribs with his left hand and threw it towards Asano Kyuemon's head.

Both ends were dead. Asano Kyuemon panicked and dodged the ribs but not the spear. He was directly knocked off his horse by the huge inertia of the spear, and he could not die anymore.

At this time, the morale of the Ogasawara team dropped drastically. Not long after the battle started, two generals were killed in a row. This Tsuchiya Masahiro was too fierce, and the soldiers began to give in unconsciously.

Ogasawara Nagamasa, who was supervising the army, saw that this was not possible. He drew his bow and arrow, and aimed an arrow at Tsuchiya Masahashi.

With a "duh" sound, it pierced the shoulder armor and plunged into Tsuchiya Masahiro's left arm.

Tsuchiya Masahiro was not afraid, he gritted his teeth and broke the arrow, and ran straight towards Ogasawara Nagamasa. Ogasawara Nagamasa devoted all his energy to his horse, and whenever he could defeat Tsuchiya Masahiro, he would just pat him on the horse and leave.

It happened that Inugama Masanobu was also sent up by Ogasawara Sadakei. Seeing Tsuchiya Masahashi being hit by an arrow, he thought he could come up and take advantage.

Unexpectedly, Tsuchiya Masahiro became more and more daring in his killing. He threw away his spear, held a long knife in one hand, and struck Inugama Masanobu with his head and face covered with a single blow.

"Inugan Daichisuke has been killed!"
