Under the crimson four-legged banner, the sixty-five-year-old veteran Nobufusa Baba stood up straight.
The envoy has just reported to Tsuiba Nobufou that the Akechi Legion Tsumaki Hirotada and Aguan Zadazheng have come to attack.
After hearing this, Baba Nobuka looked solemn. He climbed up to a high place and looked at the Oda army's military situation. As soon as the horse hooves rolled in the distance and the dust kicked up, he knew that Akechi Mitsuhide came to attack our army. They were all elites.
"The intention of the Oda Army is very obvious. It is to defeat our Suruga Army first!"
Baba Nobuka remained calm and said with a smile: "Very good, Kawanakajima, after Nagashino, I haven't experienced such a bloody battle for a long time."
After saying that, a cold look appeared on Baba Nobuka's face.
At the same time, Li Xiao, who was commanding Hu Ben Bei and Kamioka Bei on the front line to storm Sasao Mountain, was also slightly startled when he heard the report from his subordinates that Tsumugi Hirotadashi and Aguan Sadazumi went out to attack Baba Nobubo.
"It seems that the Oda Army's strategy is clear."
At this time, General Aguan Zadazheng led a team of 500 horsemen to make a detour in front of the Suruga Army.
Aguki Sasaki was a retainer of the Asai family. In the Battle of Anegawa, he led a thousand troops as the third formation to storm Nobunaga's main formation.
After the Asai family was destroyed, Aguchi Sasaki surrendered to Oda, first under the command of Hideyoshi Hashiba, and later became a force of Akechi Mitsuhide. His bravery was also famous in Omi, second only to Isono Umasa's fierce general.
Aguan Sadazaki raised his naginata. Laughing loudly, in front of him, Nobujun's team had just reorganized their formation, looking defenseless and ready to be slaughtered.
Aguan Sadazheng immediately reined in his horse and said: "The head of the Takeda family general will be handed over to you, Kanbei."
Before Aguan Zhen marched on the horse, a general raised his gun and drove the horse out, saying: "Yes, my lord."
This warrior¡¯s name is Watanabe, and he is the first among the Aguan family¡¯s mother-in-laws. Also known as the Kanbei of the Spear, he has unparalleled martial arts skills.
After Aguan Zhengzheng gave the order, Watanabe Ryo raised his plain spear, and then as the vanguard of the five hundred cavalry, he attacked Kawaba Nobutoshi's team.
Seeing Watanabe's cavalry charging into the formation like an avalanche, the Takeda Army's originally well-arranged spear formation suddenly collapsed. Scattered away.
Watanabe grinned with a smile on his face and said loudly: "What a Takeda army, what a Kanto elite, nothing more than that, kill me, kill the enemy first. Don't chase the remaining soldiers!"
Watanabe waved his gun, and the horsemen of the Mingzhi Army behind him also let go of their reins and galloped wildly.
But at this moment, Watanabe¡¯s pupils suddenly dilated. He shouted: "No!"
When the Takeda Army's ashigaru retreated on all sides, three rows of iron cannon ashigaru were revealed.
The match ropes had already been lit, and they held iron cannons together, aiming at the oncoming cavalry.
Bang bang!
The iron cannon spewed flames.
The brave general who took the lead crossed the border, and in an instant he was joined by men and horses. He was hit by more than ten bullets and hit halfway down the road.
Facing this unexpected incident, Aguan Zhenzheng was dumbfounded.
At this time, the Takeda Army's cavalry team stood out. The opponent was a veteran, holding a Jumonji spear. He said on the horse: "Who dares to fight against Mino!"
Aguan Sadazheng knew that the other party was a famous general of Takeda, Nobaba Baba. At the moment, he was frightened that the other party was so old and strong, and at the moment he was frightened and panicked.
There was only a moment of panic, but Xinfang of the racecourse was already on horseback, and he shot Aguan Zhenzheng under the horse with one shot.
"What a ghost Meinong, Aguan Zhenzheng and his five hundred cavalry are finished."
On Nangong Mountain, Akechi Mitsuhide put down his monocular telescope and looked livid. He immediately gave an order and said: "No matter what, give me the military strength to break through the horse field Nobobu, order No!"
Akechi Mitsuhide stopped and turned to look at Oda Nobuo's main formation on Matsuo Mountain.
Akechi Mitsuhide said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Matsuo Mountain immediately to report the battle situation to His Highness Nobuo and ask him not to hold back any force and attack with all his strength!"
"With another two thousand troops, if we don't defeat the Baba Army and wait for Hidetaka Kawajiri and Itetsu Inaba to be defeated by Li Xiao and Tokugawa Ieyasu, it will be too late."
Tianman Mountain, the main formation of the Oda Army.
After hearing the report from the envoy, Oda Nobutada's face changed drastically and he shouted: "What, Inaba Ichite is still a strong man in Mino, but he can't last for less than half an hour under Li Xiao. You must know that Li Xiao has only Send out two standbys!"
Oda Nobutada paced around the formation angrily.
Just when he was about to speak, someone else?? Samurai came to report and said: "Reporting to my lord, Lord Kawajiri can no longer support himself and asks for support from my lord."
"What, Kawajiri?"
At this moment, not only Oda Nobutada, but also the generals of the Oda Army's main formation were all changed.
Oda Nobutada turned around, nodded his folding fan, and said to his general: "Changke, clan village, what do you think?"
?????????????????????????? Sen Changke, both of them from Pu Sheng¡¯s village are known to be good at fighting, so they were both speechless after hearing this.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to speak?" Oda Nobutada shouted.
?? Kamao clan thought for a moment and said: "Kawajiri-sama and Inaba-sama's military strength is a defense line covering our formation. We must save it."
"Kawajiri-sama is fine, but I have to rescue Inaba-sama but"
"how?"
His son Hideken Kamao spoke up and said: "My lord, Inaba-sama is in a bit of a dilemma. If our army sends troops to rescue Mount Sasao, it will be intercepted by Li Xiao's army. It would be terrible if we are surrounded halfway."
"Surrounding the area for reinforcements?"
Oda Nobutada asked.
"Reporting to my lord, it is very possible that Li Xiao is very cunning and cannot make good judgments."
Oda Nobutada thought for a while and said: "Xiuxian, since you can judge Li Xiao's plan, I order you to lead eight thousand troops into the battle and be sure to save Mount Sasao."
Pu Sheng Xiuxian said with a firm face: "Yes, my lord."
Li Xiao saw from the telescope that Pu Sheng Xiuxian's troops were dispatched, and a smile appeared on his face.
Li Xiao immediately put down the telescope. He said to the generals behind him: "Start now, the whole army is ready to take over!"
"Tsuchiya Masahiro, you lead Hizuki Bei, first threaten this son-in-law of the Oda family!"
"Yes, my lord."
Tsuchiya Changheng was ordered to retreat.
Under Oda Nobutada's instructions, Kamao Hideken was very cautious and packed the eight thousand troops like a rice ball. No matter the slightest gap.
After that, the eight thousand troops slowly moved from Mount Tenman to Mount Sasao. The distance during this period was only a few miles, but Hideken Kamao did not dare to neglect at all.
"Slow down, slow down. The rear army will suppress the formation, and the front army will maintain its speed."
Along the way, dozens of envoys kept driving the horses, running from the front army to the rear army.
The Oda Army now moves like a giant metal hedgehog.
"Enemy attack!"
¡°My lord, we are the Takeda Army¡¯s cavalry team!¡±
"Cavalry team?" Pu Shengxiuxian's expression changed. Could it be that Li Xiao wanted to use the cavalry team. You can break through my Pu Sheng family's formation. This is too underestimated.
Although Pu Sheng Xiuxian made such a guess, he did not dare to neglect it at all. He immediately said: "Get ready to fight!"
Immediately, the Oda army stopped facing the side of the cavalry. Get into position.
The first row of ashigaru knelt down and inserted the end of their spears into the ground. The second row of ashigaru held their spears flat. The third row of ashigaru pressed their spears on the shoulders of the second row of ashigaru.
This is a standard infantry formation to meet the attack of the cavalry.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the distance of fifty yards, half of the other horsemen's cavalry team counted them down. We can only pick up the iron cannon, face our own army, and bombard it with the iron cannon!
Under the shooting of the Takeda Army's cavalry troops, the Oda Army formed a dense gun array, and several gun ashigaru were hit by projectiles and fell to the ground.
"I thought there was some kind of strategy, it was already expected of me,"
Pu Shengxiuxian waved his horsewhip. shouted, "Tiepao Ashigaru, step forward!"
At this moment, the Oda army's formation was somewhat loosened, and hundreds of iron cannon ashigaru came forward, half-kneeling in front of the formation, raising their iron cannons to fight against the Hizukibei cavalry!
boom!
Projectiles shuttle through the air.
Someone on both sides let out a groan and fell to the ground.
"Major General of the Guards, you just want to use the cavalry to delay my rescue of Mount Sasao. How could I not know this?"
At that moment, Hideyoshi Kamamao gave an order and said: "I order Miyamoto-sama to lead two thousand troops to go first, and the rest of the teams will follow."
With the order issued by Pu Sheng Xiuxian, Pu Sheng's army was divided into several units, covering all the way, marching all the way, covering each other step by step, cooperating with each other, and working together without any gaps.
This move of troops and generals made all the Oda family generals nod their heads, praising this rising star among the Oda family generals.
Looking at Pu Shengjun,After arriving at Sasao Mountain without any danger, Oda Nobutada and Inaba Ittetsu, who were watching from the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Li Xiao watched Kamao Hideken succeed in reinforcing Sasao Mountain, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to the generals: "The whole army is moving forward, the target is Tenman Mountain, the Oda Army's main formation!"
The entire Takeda army rose up, with the racecourse Changfang in the center, Uchijima clan, Shima Shengmeng, Ando Mamoru and the general's 6,000 troops.
The left wing's military strength is Todo Takatora's 3,000 troops, Maeda Toshiie's 2,000 troops, the right wing's Hideuchi Hashiba's 3,000 troops, and Jinbo Nagaken's 2,000 troops.
Its two wings are like the crescent moon, slightly arc-shaped.
And at the rear of the Chinese army, a large flag with the character Li and a flag seal with a sun and moon pattern were flying high.
Li Xiao personally led the banner and snake tail as the main formation.
"Yes, the Yanyue Formation!"
Oda Nagamasu and others couldn¡¯t help but exclaimed.
On Tianman Mountain, Oda Nobutada and others changed their expressions when they saw Li Xiao setting up the Crescent Moon Formation on Sekihara and coming straight towards the main formation of Tianman Mountain.
Just now, Oda Nobutada ordered Kamao Hideken and Mori Nagato to send troops to support the front line respectively, resulting in the number of troops directly under the Tenmanzan main formation being less than 20,000.
And now, in addition to the Sun Moon Bei, Kamioka Bei, and Tiger Bei, which cut off the passage to Mount Sasao and Mount Tenman, Li Xiao himself led the entire army to attack Oda Nobutada's main formation.
