The Takeda family in Kai country, Uzakikan. ¡ò???? Takeda Shingen, who had just returned to Tsugasakikan from Shinano Country to continue his recuperation, was slowly placing a black stone on the chessboard, and then said: "I killed this big dragon. Xinlong, this game is mine. I won.¡± ¡°My lord, I admire your superb chess skills!¡± Yukitaka Sanada complimented. And while Takeda Shingen was still playing chess with Sanada Yukitaka, outside the Tsuzaki Hall, a fast horse came from the north, and the knight galloped into the city. He jumped off the horse and rushed towards Honmaru without having time to catch his breath. He found a guard, showed a seal and was taken to Takeda Shingen. "Mr. Hall Master, urgent report, Yuezhong Yixiang Zong has rioted again." The knight knelt on the ground and panted violently. "Oh?" Takeda Shingen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then shouted, "Okay!" Then, with a smile on his face, Takeda Shingen gestured to Xin Long to put away his chess, and then said to his attendant: "Kibei, put out the fire. Call to the review room. "Ha!" Kibei ran down quickly. He was also excited in his heart: "When the Echichu clan is rioting, the Uesugi family in Echigo will inevitably be restrained. The main family, which has been afraid of making big moves before, will definitely attack the Toe Imagawa family with all its strength this time. I will seize the opportunity to establish meritorious deeds, Prove that I am the best among brothers." Subsequently, under Kihei's quick notification, the Takeda family retainers quickly gathered together, and after they learned about the Etsuchu Ichikai clan's uprising from Kihei, Everyone has already guessed the purpose of Takeda Shingen calling them here. As a result, they all looked solemn and waited for the master's order before sending their troops to attack the Yuanjiang Imagawa family. "Is everyone here?" Takeda Shingen looked at the retainer. "Except for the young master and Lord Huchang who are away on the expedition, all the retainers are here." Kihei replied. "Well. Let's start the evaluation." Takeda Shingen spoke. The retainers sat up straight and waited for their lord to give orders. "Five thousand vanguards of my family have entered Suruga. I plan to lead another 12,000 people to go out to end the civil strife for our ally Toe Imagawa family. I will personally serve as the general. The candidate for deputy general is Masatoyo." "Ha! I am here. !" Naito Masahiro came out and lay down. "You will be my deputy general." "Ha!" "The army is governed by" "My lord, my lord, is back." Just when the personnel appointment was about to end, the attendant suddenly came in to report, his face not very good-looking. "Taro? He's not leading Suruga's troops to support his allies, so what's he doing here? Bastard! Tell him to come see me!" Takeda Shingen dropped his fist on the table with his right hand. There was a loud "boom" sound. "Ha!" Soon, a downcast figure appeared at the door of the review room, and Takeda Yoshinobu stumbled in. I saw his face was pale, and he knelt softly in front of Takeda Shingen and said, "Dead, dead, all dead." "What are you talking about, young master?" The Takeda retainers looked a little ugly when they saw Takeda Yoshinobu looking so embarrassed. . When the expedition was about to begin, the young master suddenly came back and said some unlucky words, and his lost look was despising. "What are you talking about? Why don't you retreat quickly? Otherwise, you will be punished for disturbing the morale of the army!" Takeda Shingen shouted impatiently. Takeda Yoshinobu ignored the scolding and continued to chant: "Teacher Touchang is dead!" "Nani!" Takeda Shingen stood up suddenly in shock. He knocked over the desk in front of him, pointed at his eldest son and shouted. "Are you saying it again?" "Teacher Huchang is dead!" "Huh?" There was a burst of exclamation in the review room. They couldn't believe that the general died in the battle just a few days after the army went out? "Taro, are you crazy? What happened, please tell me!" Takeda Shingen asked anxiously, but the eldest son was still mumbling incomprehensively and could not tell what happened at all. Takeda Shingen was extremely disappointed with his son. "Kibei, take him down and find someone who can talk to you." "Ha!" Takeda Yoshinobu was pulled out of the discussion room by several attendants. Up to this point, Takeda Shingen still didn¡¯t believe his eldest son¡¯s words. Huchang was a master of martial arts and a top-notch military commander. How could he die? It wasn't until the body was carried to the atrium that the last bit of luck was shattered. Takeda Shingen uncovered the white cloth on the body and saw half of an arrow stuck in Iitomi Komasa's face. After covering the white cloth, Takeda Shingen asked an Akabi general who was kneeling next to the body, "Tell me about the battle." "We encountered the Imagawa Army just after we left Matsuguchi" From the beginning of the battle, we had the upper hand, to Iitomi. Huchang was shot off his horse and the whole army was defeated. After speaking, the general Shi cried out in frustration, "We fought hard to get back the general's body and escaped, wuwu~~." "Hey~! Losing Huchang is like losing an arm." Takeda Shingen's heart twisted. "Send troops to take revenge, my lord!" "My lord!" "My lord!" "We will definitely destroy the Toe Imagawa family!" "However, even if Suruga Imagawa stops me, I will destroy the Toe Imagawa family." The retainer gritted his teeth. They gathered around Takeda Shingen and shouted for revenge. At this time, everyone in the Takeda family only thought that the army of Takeda Yoshinobu and others had been ambushed by the Toe-Imagawa family's army. They also thought that the Suruga Toe-Imagawa family had not yet been destroyed, and that the Toe-Imagawa family was still in civil strife. "You all go back first, prepare the army, and be ready to go at any time." Takeda Shingen said, but he had other plans. A gentleman raises an army without getting angry, but a retainer has lost his cool and attacks rashly, easily being exploited by the enemy. "And Imagawa Zianliang is not an easy enemy to deal with." Takeda Shingen expected that Imagawa Zianliang might be a more difficult enemy than Uesugi Kenshin. At this time, Takeda Shingen thought that the commander of the Toe Imagawa family's army was Imagawa Rei, but he did not know the existence of Masara. However, even if he did not know that Masara was the behind-the-scenes commander of the Toe-Imagawa family, Takeda Shingen believed in winning a war with six points throughout his life. Therefore, without knowing the specific circumstances of the Toe-Imagawa family, he decided to send a head to collect information first. Make plans again. Three days later, Suruga's information came back, and the Toe-Imagawa family built a checkpoint on the Fujikawa Mountain Road, blocking the entire mountain road. At this time, in order to paralyze the Takeda family and the Hojo family, Masara temporarily blocked the news of the end of the Imagawa family's civil war. "How high is the level?" Takeda Shingen's heart trembled and he asked, "This subordinate is as tall as two feet taller!" "Go down!" The attendant pushed out of the room. Takeda Shingen raised his hand and flipped the table over, "I don't believe it. I, Takeda Shingen, will never be able to leave Koshin in my life!" On the second day, Takeda Shingen sent an army of 17,000 troops to move towards Suruga. In the name of supporting the Suruga Imagawa family. He came to kill fiercely. At this time, in the border area between Kai and Suruga. "Sir, Takeda Shingen is out, and the target is us." It only took more than half a day, and the information was transmitted to Zhengliang's hands through the information transmission network of the Luo family's intelligence pavilion. After the great victory over Takeda Yoshinobu that day, the Imagawa army went deep into the mountain road from Nosatsudai and piled up soil in the most dangerous places. Cut down the wood and create a level more than three meters high. Zhengliang knocked down the three-meter-high wooden wall with his fist, turned around and said to the retainers beside him: "These checkpoints will be expanded, and the mountains over there will be dug up, and finally a city will be built, and the name will be Ye Songcheng." "Yes! "The retainer immediately gave the order. Immediately, everyone in the Imagawa family accelerated the construction of the fortifications. And in late July, the Maplewoods Volcano military flag finally appeared in front of the checkpoint. Masara stared at the checkpoint and immediately spotted Takeda Shingen, who had white hair on his head. Takeda Shingen also spotted Masara at a glance. Their eyes met in the air. Who wouldn't let it go? "Strong! Unprecedented strength!" The fighting spirit surged in the political conscience. "Fortitude! He is the kind of person who will never give up. Who is this person?" He had also received information before, not only did he already know that the civil strife in the Imagawa family had ended. And he also knew that a very powerful general suddenly appeared in the Imagawa family. After Takeda Shingen thought for a while, he immediately observed the level in front of him again. This newly built checkpoint stretches from the mountain to the river, about fifty meters long, with a trench dug in front. The opposite bank is even narrower, only less than twenty meters. More difficult to break. There are at most two hundred soldiers spread out in the front of the mountain road. Takeda Shingen has a large army in hand, but there is no place to use it. "Set up camp first!" Takeda Shingen immediately ordered. In a confrontation, first find the enemy's weaknesses and then try to defeat them. This is Takeda Shingen's consistent strategy. After seeing that Takeda¡¯s army did not attack, Masarasu deployed standing troops to continue vigilance. The remaining 2,000-odd ashigaru recruitment team did not let them idle, ordering them to dig soil, cut trees, and build a second line of defense behind the checkpoint, just in case. "The weather is not with me, nor is the geographical advantage. I can only rely on harmony." During the two days of confrontation, the Imagawa army did not show even a little bit of slack at any time. Takeda Shingen prepared to attack by force, "Kihei, find Nobufusa and Masakage." "Ha!" Muto Kihei retreated in response. Nobuka and Masakage refer to the Takeda military generals Baba Nobuka and Iitomi Masakage. Baba Nobbo is a famous general in history. He fought for more than 50 years without a single scar on his body, so he is called the "Immortal Mino". Fanfuchang Jing, so the name is the younger brother of Fan Fuhuchang, who was killed by Zhengliang, and a well -known general. The two met in front of the tent. Iitomi Masakage was stunned for a moment when he saw Baba Nobugami, and then walked into Takeda Shingen's tent together behind him. Racecourse Xinfang?He was dirty, and there was a branch hanging from his back. Takeda Shingen was facing the door and saw Baba's embarrassment at a glance, "Nobubo, why are you looking like this?" "These must have been rubbed on the mountain." Baba Nobusa looked down at himself, then raised his head and said with a smile, "My lord, I will personally explore the nearby Shiratori Mountain in the past two days. I can explore a trail for you, and maybe I can go around and make a surprise attack behind the Imagawa army." "Really?" "It's absolutely true." "It can be guaranteed not to happen. Will he be discovered?" Takeda Shingen asked. "They are all dense woods. Unless the Toe-Imagawa family arranges in advance, it is impossible to find us." The horse field said confidently. "In this case, maybe we can make use of it." Takeda Shingen touched the beard on his upper lip and squinted outside the tent. If the odd and right are combined, there may be a chance. He withdrew his gaze and immediately ordered: "Changjing." "Ha!" "You lead the army to storm the pass and seize the opportunity to avenge Huchang." This is the right path. "Ha! Leave everything to my subordinates." Fan Fu Chang Jing Su took the order. "Xinfang will give you an elite, go around it, and then find an opportunity to make a surprise attack. But remember, get back as soon as you are discovered." This journey is strange. "Ha!" Nobukaba led two hundred warriors to climb into the forest. In war, those who calculate more will win, and those who calculate less will lose. Iitomi Masakage arrived at the front to organize his army, and first sent an Ashigaru team to test the attack. Ashigaru is under the command of the general. Shout a few times. They pushed forward in a dense formation. Zheng Liang prepared his troops with bows and arrows and started shooting. Don't even have to aim. As long as it hits the crowd, it will definitely hit an enemy. Dozens of corpses were abandoned on the Takeda Ashigaru Road. They stopped at the edge of the ditch, not knowing what to do. The trench is three meters wide and two meters deep. Once you get down, you won't be able to climb back up. "Jump down, and then help each other climb up." General Shi pulled out his long sword and killed a hesitant ashigaru. Maybe he was frightened by the blood, or maybe he didn't have to be afraid of arrows when he jumped into the ditch. Ashigaru went down one by one. Soon they crowded into the trench, and each other used their shoulders or hands to support their companions and send them up. A shower of arrows came, and all the Ashigaru who had just climbed up were shot into hedgehogs. The remaining Ashigaru gave up, leaving their companions who were still in the trench and fled. "Kill all the ten fastest runners." Iifu Changjing said harshly. The Ashigaru team ran back, and the first ten people were picked out by samurai, held in front of the battle, and killed. Their bodies and heads were thrown on the roadside. A strong army cannot be built without military law. Strict military law is one of the reasons why the Takeda Army is strong. ¡°We must find a way to cross the trench.¡± Iitomi Masaki stared at the trees on the mountain. After cutting them off, they were tied together in twos and threes with hemp rope to form a wooden raft. Let Ashigaru carry the raft to launch the second wave of attacks. At the checkpoint, Masara looked at the Takeda army with wooden platoons on their heads, and laughed with the generals around him: "Takeda's army is smart. Let the archery team go down and replace the spears with the army." Takeda Ashigaru ran to the trench. Putting down the rafts to build a passage, morale suddenly soared. Shouting and rushing through the ditch. It was blocked again under the wooden wall. Before he could decide what to do next, dozens of poisonous dragon-like spears emerged from the wooden wall. They quickly penetrated the human body and pinned the Takeda army under the wooden wall to the ground. A Takeda Ashigaru was stabbed on his back and penetrated through the chest. Before he died, he saw the Imagawa Army smiling ferociously at him on the wooden wall. The attack failed again. Takeda Shingen ordered all the troops to attack in turn. No matter how many casualties there were, they were not allowed to stop. Unfortunately, the road is too small and it is impossible to take advantage of the slightest numerical advantage. For two consecutive days, more than a hundred corpses were dropped in front of the checkpoint every day, which has seriously affected the speed of the attack. "Where is Baba Nobbo?" Takeda Shingen was anxious. He had lost contact with this department for two days. Masahiro sat steadily in the military tent behind the wooden wall and listened to the report of the Black Eagle Ninja Army. There was a Takeda Ranger moving towards us in the mountains. It had already retreated after being discovered. "Continue to monitor. As long as you don't continue to move closer to our army, there is no need to report." Masara ordered, knowing clearly in his heart, 'No wonder the Takeda Army has been attacking so fiercely in the past two days. It is probably because this is the Rangers. The leader of the Rangers is also a general who knows how to advance and retreat. He will retreat consciously at the slightest sign of trouble. ¡¯ Zheng Liang was able to discover the ambush not by relying on the enemy¡¯s strategy, but by reconnaissance. The spread of intelligence systems is much more reliable than the strategy of a flash of inspiration. "Takeda Shingen is about to be defeated." Masara said to himself. I feel a little proud in my heart. I allowed you to be the strongest in the Warring States Period, and I allowed you to be the best among the retainers. If I don¡¯t give you room to display, how can you defeat me? The Art of War says: The victorious army wins first and then goes to war, the defeated army goes to war first and then goes to war. A general's battle usually involves a series of troop operations before the battle to gain an advantage. Then use your own advantages to attack the enemy's disadvantages and win. If you can't win the battle, it's better not to fight.?? ?Takeda Shingen is a famous general among famous generals. When Baba Nobuka came back in embarrassment, he knew that this battle could not be won. The Takeda army on the mountain road was so powerful that they couldn't even use any force. This was the first time they fought such a frustrating battle. Feeling depressed and sullen in his heart, he could only endure it, "Get ready to retreat!" Takeda's retainer was not a mediocre general. How could he not understand the truth, but he felt extremely unwilling and silent in his heart. Iitomi Masakage stood up, knelt heavily on the ground, and begged: "My lord, please give me a few more days to win the checkpoint." Takeda Shingen raised his eyes and looked at Masakage who was lying on the ground, and then looked at the other retainers. , there was a bit of wonder in his eyes. Takeda Shingen also had a little hope in his heart. "The last three days." "Ha!" Takeda generals responded with a roar. But three days later, the Takeda family's army still could not make any further progress. In the main tent of the Central Army of Takeda, Takeda Shingen turned his army fan back and forth with his hands. The four characters "Wind, Forest, Mountain and Fire" on it moved back and forth in his eyes, and he whispered: "The situation has declined, retreat!" After a few days, he felt a sigh of relief in his heart. I couldn't spit it out: "How could the timing of the Imagawa family blocking the mountain road be so coincidental? Is it because I am not destined to do it, or am I inferior to him? Damn it, if it were a plain battle, even ten of him would not be my opponent." These words only I can turn around silently in my heart, but there is no one around me who can talk. "My lord, who will stay to break up the queen?" Deputy General Naito Masatoyo asked out of duty. "Jiangjun, please leave it to Nobuka." Takeda Shingen said. ??Baba Nobuka is brave, resourceful and calm in battle, so he is most suitable for serving as the palace army. The morale of the generals was not high either, so after receiving the order, all the troops retreated slowly. "The situation in Tokaido has been decided, I won this round." Masara said in his heart when he saw Takeda retreating. This war is a big plan, almost the entire East China Sea, Jiaxin, and Kanto are involved. Of the three people who went into battle naked, the Suruga Imagawa family was completely defeated, the Takeda family had a broken arm, and the Luo family, which controlled the Toga Imagawa family, won a great victory. "Lord, aren't we going to pursue you?" In the main formation of the Imagawa family's army in Yuanjiang, Bai Wuxian looked at the slowly retreating Fenglinhuoshan banner and asked eagerly.
