    Tokaido is now Kawakawa's Shunfu Castle.  @ In the early morning of the third day after the negotiations with Sugini ended and the civil war between the Imagawa family was officially announced, Masara changed his clothes, washed himself, put on his armor, and walked out of the Honmaru of Sunfu Castle.  At this time, Hatamoto's leader, Hyakutake Kenka, led more than a hundred Hatamotos of the Luo family wearing Imagawa family clothes and knelt on both sides to wait.  "My lord, the army has been prepared and can set off at any time." "Are the horses ready?" Zheng Liang asked.  "In the previous battles, many horses were seized from the resisting samurai families. The two hundred horse teams of the Hatamoto team and the Imagawa family are satisfied, but they are not familiar with the nature of horses yet." Hyakutake Kenkan replied.  Due to the reason of secretly coming to Tokaido, the horses of the Luo family's standing team of horses did not follow, and only the standing team was brought (that is, there were people but no horses).  "You can get familiar with the nature of horses while walking on the road." The horses of the Warring States period were short and like donkeys and were easy to drive.  "Let's go!" Zheng Liang took the lead and walked down the steps, joining the troops he brought from the Luo family outside the city.  Sunfu Castle was already in hand. After Masarasu left part of his army to defend Sunfu Castle, he also brought with him the 300 standing troops (100 iron cannons and 200 horse teams). The Imagawa family had 500 troops from the distant river.  The powerful Eimagawa family's military strength was 1,500, the temporary army was 1,700, and the Suruga Imagawa family's Suruga military strength was 1,500. A total of 5,500 people marched towards the Fujikawa Mountain Road.  The significance of this battle is no less than that of the Nagashino Battle in history.  Blocking the Fujikawa Mountain Road, they met the Takeda family's troops who came with the slogan of supporting the Suruga Imagawa family.  "This battle is related to the future of our family. You should unite as one and fight the enemy bravely." Zheng Liang reviewed the military situation under the city.  The whip pointed in front of the horse, "Get out of the battle!" "Hey~hey~ho~~" the 5,500 troops shouted at the same time.  Zheng Liang took the lead.  Hatamoto and the cavalry followed closely behind.  The rest of the people followed in turn.  For many people in the Imagawa family.  Masara is actually very mysterious. So far, everyone only knows that Masara is the new strategist of the Imagawa family and is fully responsible for the attack on the Takeda family. Although all the Imagawa family retainers have doubts about Masara's commanding ability,  But since everyone in the Toe Imagawa family who had defeated them before was so obedient, they naturally did not dare to say anything as the defeated ones.  The army advanced along the seaside and bypassed Daimaru Mountain.  Mount Fuji looms in sight.  At this time, the Lord of Kawarui City led two hundred troops under his command by Hizhengxin to join the army.  This time the army marched eastwards quite smoothly.  With the unification of the Imagawa family, Masarasu issued a large number of settlement documents in the name of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and Imagawa Yoshimoto's status as the second son and heir status of Imagawa Yoshimoto was even more helped and recognized by Shou Guini.  Therefore, the Hehao clan did not show much resistance, and they all submitted smoothly and recognized the identity of Imagawa Zanling's new family governor.  Yuhi Masanobu is a local snake in Higashi Suruga, and his help is very important.  So Masarasu called him to the front and asked, "Is Yui-sama familiar with the terrain around Mount Fuji?" "Ha! I grew up here. Every plant and tree is in my head." Masanobu Yui was afraid that Masaragi would not believe it.  , pointing to the northeast and said, "That mountain over there is Ubei Mountain. As the name suggests, it is used to pray for rain. The same distance to the north, beyond the Fuji River, is Mingxing Mountain, and further to the north is" Yui Masanobu continued to talk.  Absolute power.  "Okay, okay." Masara quickly interrupted him. Regardless of Yuhi Masanobu's ability, at least he is familiar with the geography here, "Yuhi-sama, where is the best place to spread an army on the Fujikawa Mountain Road?" "Ha!  On the Fujikawa Mountain Road, only the Shimodao area opposite Mount Shiratori can deploy a small amount of troops. ""Okay, let's go wherever we go. Please lead the way," Masara said.  "But that is the area of ??the Takeda family. Lord Shingen may be angry if you go there." Yuhi Masanobu hesitated and glanced at the army behind Masara.  Comparing it with the Takeda family in my own impression, I thought to myself, "It's almost okay, but the number of people is too small." "Be brave, just listen to your orders, where does this nonsense come from." Bai Wuxian is not used to it, but he still believes in it.  He looked hesitant, raised his gun and shouted curses.  "Hey! Kenkane, please don't be rude." Masara motioned Hyakutake Kenkane to put down his spear, and said to Yuhi Masanobu with a pleasant look, "Yuhi-sama, do you think Takeda Shingen will not come if we don't go?" "Is that what my lord said?  " "I'm afraid Yui-sama doesn't know that a large army sent by Takeda Shingen has marched from Kaiji Uzakikan to Suruga, and I'm afraid it will arrive here soon. "At this time, the large army sent by Takeda Shingen.  The news of Suruga's appearance has indeed not spread completely from the Kai region. If the Luo family had not always had a basic intelligence system in the Kai region, I am afraid Masara would not have known the news so quickly.    "Huh?" In the ancient Warring States Period, samurai rarely had a sense of the overall situation. Those who had a little sense of the overall situation were either famous generals or great strategists, such as Takenaka Hanbei, Kuroda Takataka, Takeda Shingen, etc.  Masara doesn't blame Yui Masanobu for being stupid. He would be no better off if he wasn't a time traveler.  "Master Yui, please lead the way." Masara said again.  "Ha!" Although he had some doubts about the words of Masara, the general of the Imagawa family who suddenly appeared, Yui Masanobu did not dare to respond at this time, so he immediately began to lead the way.  It is said that the Warring States Period was small, but how small was it?  Starting from the Takeda family's main castle, Ugasakikan, it only takes fifty to sixty kilometers to enter the Suruga Plain.  The Imagawa family's army marched about five kilometers and just arrived at the foot of Mingxing Mountain. The scouts from the front came to report and found that the Takeda army appeared in the Shimodao area and was crossing the border to come here.  "Quantity, the Takeda army cannot be seen from head to tail!" "Nani?" Yui Masanobu's face was ugly. He was still doubtful before, but now he really had nothing to say. He was even glad in his heart, if it weren't for the Imagawa family's army  If he arrives early, his family, which is at the junction of the Imagawa family and the Takeda family's territories, will inevitably suffer.  Although the Takeda family is an ally, even if he intends to come under the banner of support, he is not an idiot. If he thinks about it for a moment, he will understand what the purpose of the Takeda family is.  "Sir, what should we do?" All the generals around looked at Zheng Liang.  His face was solemn.  "Of course we continue to move forward. It is difficult for Takeda's army to spread out on the mountain road. If you can't see the edge from the beginning to the end, it doesn't mean there are many." Zhengliang looked around and joked with the generals, "As long as the Takeda army can be blocked on the mountain road, even if there are 20,000  Don¡¯t be afraid, unless you can fly, hahaha.¡± The generals laughed for a while while saying ¡°hahaha¡±, which made them feel more relaxed.  "Master Yuhi Masanobu," after finishing laughing.  Masara pointed to the widest spot on the river beach in the distance and gave a serious order, "If you see there is no wide spot over there, where is it?" "That's Yesatsudae over there." Yui Masanobu replied.  "Naochika Ii, you lead your headquarters to set up formation at Nosatsudai. You must not let Takeda's army rush past." "Ha!" Naochika Ii immediately bowed and responded.  "Narimatsu Nobukatsu, Shima Sakon. You two go help Ii Naochika, and don't let go of any Takeda Army on the left bank of the river." "Ha!" The wild pine area on the left bank of the Fuji River is the widest. Visually, the widest place was more than one kilometer long.  , behind is the vast Suruga Plain.  Let the Takeda army rush over, and the consequences will be disastrous.  On the other hand, the road on the right bank is relatively narrow.  The troops deployed should be small but elite.  "Master Yui, where is the place to cross the river?" Masara asked. The army is on the left bank and they are looking for a place to cross the river to the right bank.  "The current of Fuji River is very fast. If you want to cross the river, you must turn back to the river and enter the city, where you can cross the river in my boat." Yuhi Masanobu replied.  The Fuji River is one of the three major rapids of the Warring States Period. It can only become gentler when it enters the sea.  The distance from the current location to Kawaru Castle is estimated to be about four kilometers. After crossing the river by boat, it is another four kilometers and running back, for a total of eight kilometers.  "Maeda Toshiie, give you the iron artillery team. I want you to arrive on the other side within half an hour, and at most six quarters to set up defenses. Yui-sama, you lead my men across the river. Shingen-sama, you lead the Suruga samurai team to follow.  "Ha!" Maeda Toshika and Ampei Shingen responded.  Anbe Zhenyuan was one of the retainers who took the initiative to express his loyalty after the Imagawa family was unified, and he was also very capable, so Masara brought him here this time.  Yuhi Masanobu opened his mouth and hesitated: "My lord, my ashigaru can't run that fast." "The ashigaru can follow behind, you can just follow on horseback." Yuhi Masanobu was confident, not believing what the adult in front of him had brought.  If the soldiers can really run so fast, the right bank will definitely be broken through by the Takeda Army.  But since it's hard to say anything in the army, you should give orders first and decide the next step according to the situation.  After receiving the order, Maeda Toshiie immediately organized his army, turned back and marched quickly, with Yuhi Masanobu riding behind him.  Maeda Toshiie took away 700 soldiers and 100 iron artillery soldiers, 500 Suruga samurai of Ampere Shingen, and 200 ashigaru of Yui Masanobu.  There are still two hundred cavalry and guard flags in hand that have not been arranged.  "Lord, why didn't we and the cavalry team make arrangements?" Hyakutake Kenkan asked, eager to fight, "Would you like me to go and meet Takeda's Chibei first?" "Takeda Chibei!" Various legends in later generations made Takeda  Chibei was mythologized.  Think of the expressions of the generals when they heard that Takeda Army was coming.  Masara was not as serious as when he issued the order, and was somewhat high-spirited: "Takeda Akabi is the strongest among the nations? I don't think so. Hyakutake Ken and his headquarters and the cavalry team went to weigh and weigh, how strong Takeda Akabi is.  !¡± ¡°I will fight against Takeda¡¯s army.¡±?? Bai Wuxianjie shouted excitedly, "The horse team is coming with me."  " More than two hundred cavalry rumbled away. Narimatsu Nobukatsu pursed his lips and watched the cavalry team go away with envy. A husband has the courage to fight. He must first wipe out the enemy's courage and then fight again. The cavalry under Zhengliang's command  Most of the team is composed of regular members of the Luo family. Of course, some hostages sent by the Imagawa family are also added, and the rest are selected from the samurai. Taken together, the background, equipment, skills, and training of this riding team are.  Discipline is first-class in everything, definitely not inferior to Chibei. Just as Masara was preparing to attack the Takeda army coming from the west, a large number of the Takeda army was surging on the Fujikawa Mountain Road.  Come. In history, Chibei does not only refer to the cavalry, but also a large number of mounted infantry. Therefore, if you look down at the Fujikawa Mountain Road from the air, you will find that the Takeda Army formed two long red dragons on both sides of the river.  Move forward. Takeda Shingen's army that invades Suruga Country is the elite of Takeda's army. In addition to the Akabi cavalry led by Iito Homasa, there are also elite soldiers who have been trained in the Battle of Kawanakajima.  In addition to Iito Toromasa, the commander of Sunfu Castle also has Takeda Yoshinobu, the legitimate son of Takeda Shingen. Takeda Yoshinobu has special feelings for the Imagawa family because of his beloved wife, and he hopes to have a closer relationship with him.  The good Imagawa family is really in control of the Imagawa family, and thus he firmly controls the position of successor to the Takeda family, so this time he will take the initiative to "support" the Suruga Imagawa family this time.  The Takeda family's army was advancing continuously, and Takeda Yoshinobu, who believed that this time he would be able to help the Suruga-Imagawa family drive out the Toe-Imagawa family's army, couldn't help but said to himself: "I will drive the Toe-Imagawa family's army out of Suruga."  River, fulfilling the righteousness of the allies.  " And just when Takeda Yoshinobu was talking to himself, Iitomi Humasa, who was beside Takeda Yoshinobu and who was Takeda Yoshinobu's teacher, was faintly worried. Before setting off, the lord Takeda Shingen secretly approached him.  He ordered: "Send Takeda Yoshinobu as the son-in-law of the Imagawa family to support Suruga, but the real purpose is to conquer Suruga.  The beggar Tomohomasa temporarily concealed it from Takeda Yoshinobu, and could take over the command if necessary.  " Now he secretly looked at his disciple's expression at this time. Iito Huchang was struggling in his heart. Caught between his disciple and his lord, he really didn't know how to tell the truth. "My lord, you are making things difficult for me.  !  Forget it, just keep it secret for as long as you can.  " And just when the masters and apprentices of the generals, Iito Toramasa and Takeda Yoshinobu, had different thoughts, the Takeda army had just passed half of the Shimo Inako area when the vanguard came to report the discovery of the Imagawa family's army's vanguard cavalry, and both sides  After meeting, they immediately fell into a fierce battle: "The Imagawa family army?  impossible!  "Iitomo Homasa said in shock, a divine weapon descended from the sky? His head was dizzy, and his body shook three times on his horse. After finally sitting down, he confirmed again. "It's really the Imagawa family's army. Do you see clearly?  "    "ha!  The subordinates saw it clearly.  The black armor and the Imagawa family's diarrhea pattern are unmistakable.  " How is it possible? Isn't the Imagawa family's army still in the midst of a civil war? How could it appear here? Did it fly here? In fact, Iitomi Humasa's intelligence is already a bit behind. As early as two days ago, the Imagawa family's civil war started in Masarasu  Under the auspices of Shouguini, it ended quickly, and Masara quickly learned the information about the Takeda family's appearance, so he simply continued to make the illusion that the Imagawa family was fighting fiercely, and at the same time completely blocked the news of the Imagawa family's unification.  The Takeda family didn't know the actual situation of the Imagawa family for a while. At this time, Iito Toromasa, who didn't know the actual situation of the Imagawa family, was really racking his brains and couldn't figure out the key, so he simply decided.  I don¡¯t want to think about it anymore. It¡¯s better to see it with your own eyes than to hear it a hundred times. ¡°Young Master, let¡¯s go and see it together.  "Iito Toramasa raised one big stone in his heart, but put down another big stone. The Imagawa family's army appeared and quickly attacked their allies, the Takeda family. The only benefit to him was that he no longer had to be sandwiched between Takeda Shingen and his disciples.  The two men broke away from the group and rushed to the scene. The two hundred red and black knights on horseback were fighting each other on the 100-meter-wide river beach. Blood was spattered on the ground.  Dozens of corpses, half taken by each side. "Antlers pocket!"  That's the general of the Toe Imagawa family's army, Oni Hyakutake Kenkane!  "Iitomi Komasa's expression was solemn. The presence of the great general of the Imagawa family, Oni Hyaku Takeken, is here, which means that the Suruga and Imagawa family may be in danger. If this happens, the current situation in Suruga will be very difficult to say.  At least the lord Takeda Shingen's previous plan to reap the benefits of the fishermen may be difficult to realize. At this time, Hyakutake Kenkan also saw two generals coming to the Takeda army, equipped with armor and Iitomo Toro Masaru in the intelligence.??Yoshinobu Takeda is exactly the same.  "Takeda Akabi! I, Hyakutake Sage, have learned the lesson." Hyakutake Sage and Dragonfly slashed his spear horizontally, and Takeda Akabi fell off his horse.  He stabbed forward, picked up a Takeda Chibei in the air, threw it at the enemy, and knocked down another Chibei.  "Everyone, those are Iitomi Toramasa and Takeda Yoshinobu. Let's go! Go and take off their heads." "Oh!" The morale of the Imagawa family's horse team greatly increased, and they struggled to kill Takeda Akabi beside them.  Chi Bei parried a slash, and his companion on the horse stabbed him with a lance. Chi Bei was stabbed through the abdomen and fell off his horse.  Before the Imagawa family cavalry could put away his sword, an Akabi suddenly came from the side and stabbed him in the shoulder with a three-meter long sword, knocking him off his horse.  The Imagawa cavalryman fell to the ground, holding on to his spear with both hands and grinning ferociously at the Chibei soldiers.  Three cold rays of light pierced the side at the same time, leaving several bloody holes on Chi Beibing's body.  When Bai Wuxian was ready to fight, he pulled out a long sword with his left hand, held a gun with one arm in his right hand, and slashed with both sides.  Wherever the horse went, red cavalrymen were constantly being hacked and dismounted.  The general rose up, and Imagawa Iejun's horse riding team gradually gained the upper hand.  Red was suppressed by black and retreated continuously.  "So strong!" Takeda Yoshinobu exclaimed. On Kawanaka Island, he had never seen Chibei gain the upper hand against an equal number of enemies.  "Teacher, hurry up and send Hatamoto to support." Iitomi Homasa was about to give the order, but Hyakutake Kenkane had already got rid of the entanglement, kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and rushed towards Iitomi Homasa, followed by more than 20 riders.  "Takeda Yoshinobu, Iitomi Tomasa, I will accept your heads." Hyakutake Kenji was covered in blood, with murderous intent, and his bloodshot eyes were staring at Takeda Yoshinobu's head.  The murderous aura of the ancient generals made even ghosts and gods shun him, let alone the annoying Takeda Yoshinobu.  After sitting down, the horse took three steps back. Takeda Yoshinobu was so angry that he was so angry that he almost lost control of his mount.  "Protect the young master!" led by Iito Huchang, the two men quickly protected the two men in the army and retreated.  Bai Wuxian rushed to the front of the military formation, and dozens of bannermen stepped forward to stop him.  The general was washed away. Takeda Chibei left the enemy behind on the river beach and pursued Hyakutake Kenkane.  How could the Imagawa family's horse team let go of this opportunity and pursue him?  Black and red are intertwined and fighting endlessly.  "You little guy, just stay out of the way!" The spear in Bai Wuxian's hand was flying up and down with cold light, and lines of blood spattered on the bodies of the surrounding Takeda Army soldiers, all of whom were shot to death.  Hyakutake Kenkan and more than a dozen of his cavalry formed a triangular formation and bravely rushed in, watching Takeda Yoshinobu's horse seal charge.  Under the heavy protection of Hatamoto, Hyakutake Kenkan entered.  From a distance of dozens of meters, he shouted: "Takeda Yoshinobu, don't run away." Takeda Yoshinobu clenched the horse's reins with both hands, very unwilling to do so. He was frightened by the killing intent just now.  Iitomi Tomasa understood his disciple and comforted him, "It is the courage of an ordinary man to rush into battle and fight. If the young master wants to inherit the Takeda family in the future, fighting should be left to his subordinates." Takeda Yoshinobu nodded silently.  The Takeda Army's horse prints are getting farther and farther.  "Tch!" Bai Wuxian spat disdainfully. He turned around and saw that there were only a dozen or so horses left in the cavalry team following him. He shouted, "You guys and I, go back and kill." "Oh!" All the Imagawa family soldiers immediately shouted.  Roar, but after the Takeda army heard the shouting, their blood and rage surged, and the siege became more fierce. However, without the general in charge, Chibei alone could not stop Hyakutake Kenkane and others.  Noh watched helplessly as Hyakutake Kenkane left.  "Is the general going to abandon us?" Bai Wuxian broke out of the encirclement. When he heard his subordinates shouting, he turned his horse's head and fought back.  There is no single enemy who dares to stand in the way of a spear and dismount.  Bai Wuxian picked up several of his subordinates and joined the cavalry team. He raised his gun in the formation and shouted: "Yoshinobu Takeda ran away looking at the wind. We have won this battle. Let's go back and ask for your reward." "Oh!" Black Cavalry Team  Gradually disengaged from the red army and retreated quickly.  Remains of dead bodies and ownerless horses were scattered on the river beach.  After seeing the enemy retreat, the Takeda Army showed no joy at all.  (Thanks to "Mangmangyu" for the double monthly ticket support.
