A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

One breakthrough and the entire army advances!

Imagawa Yoshichichi's right wing made progress as soon as they entered the battle. Although the more than two kilometers long front from north to south only opened a gap of a few meters, the Yamauchi army's ability could not open the gap?

"Your Highness, you can order all the armies to advance together and start fighting!" Fujiwara Dan was observing the battle situation.

Now there is a loophole in Takigawa Kazumas position. If this loophole continues to expand, Oda Nobunaga will have to mobilize troops to support, which will inevitably affect the layout of the entire front.

The Yamauchi Army now has all its troops mobilized to entangle the elite front-line troops of the Zhide Alliance, which is equivalent to containing most of the opponent's elite soldiers. Soldiers and horses like the Kitabatakes, with a total number of 12,000, were placed on the second line. "Big but useless" is an excellent synonym.

"I ordered my uncle and uncle on the left to send troops together, and the camera rushed in!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded. Although the main camp here issued an order, the frontline commanders must also be given a certain degree of autonomy.

As for who and how many people Imagawa Yoshichichi would send to rush in, Ashikaga Yoshiaki directly authorized Imagawa Yoshichichi for this specific arrangement. Imagawa Yoshichichi only needs to complete the order to break through the first horse defense fence!

Since the order of this formation is to advance in camera and entangle the enemy's front-line troops, as soon as a key breakthrough is made somewhere, the entire army will step up the offensive and use upright troops to overwhelm the Zhide coalition forces in front. So Hosokawa Saime and Yamauchi's chief planner were each unequivocal, flying their flags and sending orders loudly.

Sanada Nobutsuna, who was assigned first, led two thousand Sanada cavalry out of the battle in a majestic manner. Sanada Nobutsuna, who was holding a three-foot-three-inch-long Odachi under the big horse mark with a stepped pattern, was stationed on his horse. The Sanada clan was dominated by the twelve clans passed down by Kotaro Mochizuki, the last descendant of Nosaburo Nosaburo, the eldest son of Xiaoxian County. They united each other and advanced steadily forward with wooden trusses and bamboo bundles.

The enemy opposite Sanada Nobutsuna is the Wakasa and Ebei soldiers commanded by Niwa Nagahide. Their number is not too large, only four thousand, but as the main force of the vanguard, the Wakasa soldiers can be considered experienced in hundreds of battles. Since the beginning of the Onin Civilization Chaos, Wakasazo has been active on the stage of the Warring States Period. In terms of bad battle experience, it is not necessarily worse than their other Takeda who was far away in Kai.

Nowadays, with the help of iron cannons, there is a constant crackling sound in front of the formation, and there is only the sound of lead bullets hitting the bamboo bundles and wooden rafters and exploding. After all, hundreds of iron cannons fired at the same time, but the Sanada people still felled four or five people in the first round of salvo fire.

It’s harmless!

Before reaching the formation, the soldiers put down their cover, and the iron cannons and longbows in their own army also began to counterattack. Although the Oda army built fortifications, this was a wilderness after all. It was great to be able to build three two-kilometer-long fortifications in two or three days. It could not be as strong as Kazuma's castle.

On the other side, Yamauchi's chief planner was facing generals such as Osuga Yasutaka and Ishikawa Ienari among the Mikawa clan. The Mikawa clan's iron cannons were far inferior to those of Oda Nobunaga, but they were deceived by Koheta. Bai Guanyi bought a large tube, and there were quite a lot of them.

At a distance of twenty, thirty, thirty or forty meters, these large tubes are quite effective. The Tokugawa Army has been operating for so many years and has figured out many practical tactics on its own. These large tubes were evenly distributed behind the horse defense fence. When the Yamauchi army approached, they would be fired suddenly, and then they would be held by a strong man and run away.

The Yamauchi Army couldn't even name the Otsutsuki, because Tokugawa's Otsutsuki was not fixedly placed on the gun mount. He really had a strong samurai standing by at all times. After loading in a hidden place, send it to the front line for firing. After shooting, immediately turn in and continue to find a hidden corner to load.

It fits Tokugawa Ieyasu’s tactical style very well!

The chief planner in Yamauchi was used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he did not pay too much attention to the elusive big barrel. He said to his subordinates calmly, "Order the Haoyi Armory Division to advance!"

He Yixin cursed sincerely, but the situation was stronger than the people. The chief planner in the mountain had a mountain of military orders, so he could only bite the bullet and go ahead. He led the Jia Fei people up to pull out the horse defense fence and fill in the trench.

……………………

Everyone in the mountain advanced in an orderly manner, and Oda Nobunaga was naturally not unresponsive. Oda Nobunaga roughly guessed 70% to 70% of the Yamauchi Army's strategy of "break through in key points and advance with the entire army!" with just a little analysis.

Obviously, the breakthrough point chosen by the Yamauchi Army was the very unique Takigawa Kazumasushi in the Oda Army, whose combat effectiveness was sometimes high and sometimes low. It is hard to say whether the 6,000 Northern Isei soldiers under Takigawa Kazuki can withstand the fierce attack of Imagawa Yoshichichi and his subordinates.

So after Oda Nobunaga thought about it for a while, he started to move the formation!

Staying at Kek Lok Si Mountain is too far away from the battlefield, and it is impossible to take care of the huge army of 55,000 people in a timely manner. Therefore, he decided to move his own team forward and use his own team of 10,000 people as a reserve team to support the front line at any time.

Passing through the valley between Chausu Mountain and Matsuo Mountain, Oda Nobunaga's Yongle Tongbao horse logo suddenly appeared behind the front-line army, and the momentum of the various units in the advanced formation suddenly emerged.

After setting up the main formation on the side of a platform, Oda Nobunaga actually began to command three armies of Sakuma Nobumori, Takigawa Kazumasu and Niwa Nagahide, with a total number of more than 15,000. In addition to Oda Nobunaga's own more than 10,000 troops, in fact, in response to the key breakthrough of the Yamauchi Army's right wing, the Oda Army used nearly three times the force to prevent the blockage.

This is not a clever tactic. The large number bullies the small number, and the powerful assault on the right wing of the Yamauchi army is constantly consumed by wheel battles. Cao GUI's old words on war were that he gained momentum in one go, then weakened, and finally exhausted.

No matter how brave the Yamauchi army is, it is impossible for the per capita perpetual motion machine to be as high as that of a strong man. How long can a strong man wearing armor and holding a knife fight? Except for a few tough men, it would be a big deal for ordinary people to fight for half an hour.

Oda Nobunaga is now using three times the superior force to resist you until you run out of energy, unless you change your strategy before the battle!

What kind of chaos will this cause on a cold-weapon battlefield where shouting is basically the only way to deliver orders? No need to talk nonsense, right? The armies of almost 100,000 people from both sides intersect on the battlefield three to four kilometers from north to south and seven to eight kilometers from east to west. A slight mistake may lead to chaos in the entire army. No wise coach would change his plan on the fly.

"The firepower of His Majesty Suruga Mamoru on the right wing must be strengthened!" Fujiwara Danzheng saw the big horse mark of Yongle Tongbao appearing, and knew that Oda Nobunaga was moving forward.

"Okay! Please ask the Ministry of War to bring five hundred iron artillerymen from my team to help in the battle!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw his uncle Hosokawa Fujitaka sitting on one side of the formation without speaking.

"Yes!" Hosokawa Fujitaka stood up unhurriedly and shouted back.

"Also tell Qianye that if necessary, you can use a big bronze cannon instead!"

"Order Kuzuoden (Murakami Yoshikuni) to go forward and see if there is a way to cut off Niwa and Takikawa!" Fujiwara Dan was waving his green bamboo stick and pointing forward.
