A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Masayuki Sanada, who abandoned his horse and followed Hosokawa Harime, who was also marching on foot, with his gun drawn, looked at the boundless snake-like march of the Hojo Army to the left and right.

"Nai Onome, it seems we have encountered the Hojo main team."

"So what if we meet him?" Hosokawa Saime was unmoved. When he arrived at the battlefield, he seemed to be a new person, full of energy and high spirits.

"There are more than 30,000 people in Hojo's main team."

"With more than 30,000 people, why don't we fight? We have to fire the arrow when it's on the string! Retreating at this time is tantamount to seeking death!"

"Having said that..." Sanada Masayuki is still a little younger after all, he hasn't fought enough battles, and he hasn't seen the world big enough.

Although there was no exhaustive plan before, due to too little information at hand, such a huge error occurred at the final node of judgment. It's not that he was panicked, but he felt a little guilty for Hosokawa Saimei who completely trusted him.

"If you have this leisure time, why not keep an eye on the enemy soldiers in front of you? When we get to the battlefield, our fate will only depend on the swords and guns in our hands!"

Hosokawa Zaimei, who has been fighting for a long time, does not know that the Hojo army must be more numerous than him, but he knows that he cannot be timid at this time. As long as he fights forward bravely, he will have a chance to win!

The coalition finally occupies a "wonderful" character!

Even if it turned into a frontal attack now, it would psychologically weaken the Hojo Army for a while. No matter what kind of army, if it is surrounded, it will have psychological changes.

In the end, Hosokawa Minami is better than Sanada Masayuki in actual combat experience!

"Jin Taiko!" Hosokawa Saime shouted.

A member of Hosokawa's family followed up with a taiko drum on his back. Hosokawa Harime took out the drumsticks and banged hard. An attendant also blew the conch, and the Yamauchi army's general attack began.

The Yamauchi troops who were ordered to advance in the fields and paddy fields heard the sound of advancing troops and responded in unison. The swords and guns were leveled, the long bows were nocked, and the matchlocks of the iron cannons were already lit, just waiting to pull the trigger.

The pre-noon sun shines brilliantly on the gold and iron, emitting an unusually dazzling brilliance. The roars of the men and horses were so majestic and cruel, and they soon collided, bloody and passionate.

The elite soldiers of Koshin, who are famous for their bravery in the world, shouted the trumpets of Namo Amida Tathagata and the Daimyojin of Suwa Minami Palace, and entered the battlefield with a decisive attitude.

Even though Ogasawara Sadaki only wanted to preserve his strength when he was not fighting, when he really started fighting, he would scream. This man is very wise. He can be a coward when he is not fighting, but he must work hard when he is fighting. If you win, the BMW's golden territory will be sealed, but if you lose, the enemy will respect you and still have a way to survive.

Not to mention Sanada Nobutsuna and Murakami Yoshikuni, they worked even harder. One had to perform actively, and the other was Taro Yamauchi's direct uncle.

The four groups of Yamauchi troops at the bottom of the pocket were like anvils, completely blocking the direction of the Hojo army facing Musashi.

To the north, the Narita soldiers, who were supported by 9,000 people from the Shimono people, retreated slightly and were able to take a breather, giving the chance to perform to the Shimo people who had finished warming up.

The generals in the field are not very harmonious, but they are frightened by Hojo's military might and are eager for a huge victory that can wipe out the Hojo clan's 10,000 reinforcements. Now that the battle has just begun, they are still working hard.

Among them, Sano Masatsuna, the lord of Karasawayama Castle, walked the fastest, or in other words, one of the Sano Four Heavenly Kings under his command, Shanda Teruhisa (山道和) walked the fastest.

This dear friend was originally the lord of Ueno Mountain Castle, but he was beaten away by the Hojo clan and took refuge with the Sano family. Relying on his hard work, he has gained a reputation.

However, the stage that the Sano family can provide for him to perform is too small. The Sano family alone is completely unable to defeat Hojo and restore his old territory. Now is the best time to defeat Hojo. As long as Hojo is defeated, maybe under the auspices of Hosokawa Maimee and Koyumi Yorijun, the family may be revived.

The helplessness and humility of the people of the small country in the Warring States Period are reflected in him, but the tenacity and tenacity of the people of the small country in the Warring States Period are also reflected in him. In order to revive his family, Shanshan Terujiu's eyes turned red.

Behind him was Sano Masatsuna's younger brother, Sano Fusatsuna, who was just thirteen years old, because he thought that with more than 30,000 people beating 10,000 Hojo, it was best to use the first formation in such a sure-fire battle.

From now on, I can go out and brag about it. I think back when my team was just opened, there were more than a dozen people with seven or eight guns, and they beat Hojo dizzy. If you say it out loud, it will definitely give you more face, and everyone will accept it.

This Sano Fusatsuna will become a monk in the future and serve Toyotomi Hideyoshi. His Buddhist name will be Tentokuji Ryobo. He will go on to fight and accumulate thirty-nine thousand koku. He will become a world-famous swordsman.

The small Sano army happened to have such two talented generals, and the battle was really full of momentum. The terrain happened to be difficult for large armies to deploy, and was more suitable for Ninja Castle where brave generals clashed.

Just as the Makabe clan was carrying out a killing spree with a large wooden stile, the two killers of Sano Kata also ran into the team of Hojo Army general Ota Bungo Mamoru.

If they were the Uesugi Army, they would remember that during the Great Battle of Tonegawa, this man risked his life to attack Uesugi Kenshin's troops, and received blood-stained feelings from the Hojo clan Nao and the Oishi clan Teru.

At this point, there was no time left to attack Tsumei, and the two generals Sanokata, one large and one small, started fighting with Ota Bungo Mamoru.

When everyone in the field saw someone taking the lead, and the Hojo army at the entrance was really weak in front and rear, as long as they spotted a group of people and rushed forward, it would be possible to cut off Hojo's queue. Even the miscellaneous fish in the field can see such a good opportunity.

Minagawa Hiroteru and Hoga Takatsugi successively launched an attack on the Hojo Army. Koyama Hidetsuna and Utsunomiya Hirotsuna also rushed into the Hojo Army a little later.

The biggest shortcoming of the Hojo Army in the march was exposed. Although the overall strength was superior, the local strength was at a disadvantage.

Each marching team fought independently and could not coordinate with each other. Reinforcements were unable to support quickly due to the terrain.

The more than a thousand cavalrymen in the Hojo clan's royal horsemen, who were originally invincible on the Kanto Plain, could only watch and worry, because the cavalry could not be used at all in this realm.

Oishi Shiteru could only regret that in order to move quickly, he had left the wounded soldiers and the heavy bronze Daifuro gun that was difficult to move in the Hirai formation.

In today's terrain, if there were shotguns with dozens of fan-shaped shotguns like the Folan Guns, no one would be able to get close to the Hojo Army.

"Calm down! You must be calm!" Oishi Shiteru said silently in his heart, thinking quickly about how his father, Hojo Ujiyasu, dealt with surprise attacks when he taught him how to fight.

Of course, Hojo Ujiyasu, a famous general in the world, would not leave anything but the tea soup for eating twice. Our family is going to perish. Going out to pee while listening to war stories is useless. Look at this kind of anecdote.

In the Kagotsu surprise attack, one of the three major surprise attacks in the world, Hojo Ujiyasu clearly grasped one point.

Military morale!

The Kwantung Allied Forces originally had a huge advantage of 85,000 troops, and their military morale was naturally very strong. But as time went by, it slowly turned into slackness. Hojo Ujiyasu gave another boost, asking his uncle Ashikaga Haruji for peace talks with a humble gesture and kneeling words, which made the Kanto Allied Forces even more arrogant.

In the end, they were caught off guard and launched a night surprise attack, destroying part of the Kwantung Allied Forces in one fell swoop. Then he used the defeated troops to completely defeat the entire coalition army, creating an incredible victory.

After pondering for a while, Oishi ordered the flag bearer of the formation to raise the Hojo Sanki Ryoshi high in the formation, telling the entire Hojo army that the formation was still there, so there was no need to panic and to calm down the morale of the troops.

Then he beat the drums loudly and ordered a small group of the most capable soldiers to guard his banner and charge forward, regardless of how many enemy troops they could defeat. As long as the teams that encountered the attack saw that Oishi Teru had not abandoned them and was actively sending reinforcements to join the battle.

In addition, the Hojo Army had just achieved a brilliant victory at Hirai Castle, and their morale was at its peak. After the panic of the attack passed, the two sides finally began to fight back and forth.

…………

"I only regret that I didn't bring the Nanman big cannon when I divided my troops!" Hosokawa Saime looked at the soldiers and horses in the mountain and rushed forward, but she was still unable to capture the Hojo army in front of her.

After all, the Hojo Army is also a strong force that has been fighting for many years. It may have been a little bit worse when it came to defeating Uesugi Kenshin, but the younger brothers who fought in Kanto were very accurate. He will fight whoever comes forward, and he has quite a lot of combat experience.

"We must break the connection between the various units of the Hojo Army, concentrate the troops, and eat the Hojo Army in small groups and small groups. Fight for a big victory with a small victory. The longer the time is delayed, the greater the defeat of our army!"

More men and horses means more reserves. Although Hojo's reserve team cannot move up due to crowding, after a long time, they can move up even if they move. At that time, the coalition forces whose strength is obviously inferior to Hojo's will be defeated.

"Then tell me, where is Hojo weak?"

"Our team!" Sanada Masayuki pointed at the raised Hojo Sangai Ryoshi.

Hosokawa Zaimei did not hesitate. He only had 2,000 men under his command, so he immediately divided his troops and took 1,500 with him to attack the Hojo main force. The remaining five hundred were handed over to Masayuki Sanada, who went to interrupt the communication channels that the Hojo main team was desperately maintaining with the Hojo's leading teams.

"Don't ruin the reputation of the Yamauchi clan!" Hosokawa Zaimei walked away with her spear in hand.

The hour hand has moved to the first quarter of noon (eleven o'clock before noon)!
