    In the Takeda family's main tent, after learning that Tokugawa Ieyasu was preparing to stop him beyond his expectation, Takeda Shingen immediately said: "After all, he is still too young." Takeda Shingen was slightly impressed by Tokugawa Ieyasu's courage and courage, and was slightly impressed.  He smiled, but he couldn't help but say that it was a foolish move.  War cannot be decided by the determination and courage of a general.  In front of Takeda's army, that kind of formation could not respond to each other at all.  Facing Tokugawa Ieyasu's Crane Wing Formation, Takeda Shingen deployed a column like fish scales.  With this arrangement, even if one of the teams is defeated, the enemy cannot easily rush into the center.  The vanguard is Oyamada Nobushige, followed by Yamagata Masakei, Naito Masatoyo on the rear left, Takeda Katsuyori on the right rear, Kobata Nobuzada on the left rear of Katsuyori, and Takeda Shingen's main force is led by Baba Nobuka.  If they advance in this formation, Tokugawa Ieyasu's Crane Wing Formation will immediately fall apart.  Takeda Shingen was both disappointed and a little happy about Tokugawa Ieyasu's youthful foolhardiness.  "Let's have a decisive battle." Baba Nobuka said, "Since the other party came here specifically to die, we don't have to avoid him." Takeda Shingen was still smiling.  "Are you sure you can win?" Takeda Shingen asked deliberately.  Takeda Shingen thought he was asking Baba Nobuka, but in fact he was testing Katsuyori. He wanted to hear his son's opinion.  Previously, the legitimate son Takeda Yoshinobu died in the battle of Iito Toromasa, his teacher's school, and the Suruga Imagawa family of his wife's maiden family was annexed by the Toe Imagawa family. 2¡ü, www¦æw. The whole thing became a bit decadent. This time  Therefore, I brought my son Katsuyori with me just to see how Katsuyori performed.  "No problem. If we don't fight decisively, we will lose the perfect fighting opportunity." As expected by Takeda Shingen, his son Katsuyori spoke.  "What's the proof?" "The proof is very simple. It's like cutting a thin veil with a dagger." But.  Takeda Shingen still did not immediately issue a decisive battle order.  Instead, he said, "Call Muraga Nobujun." Among the generals around Takeda Shingen, Muruga Nobujun was the most cautious.  After Muroga Nobutoshi was called, he said: "I'll take Harono Nobori with me to investigate again. During this period, the team can make stoves and cook. Whether fighting or marching, the most important thing in winter is to fill their stomachs." Morning  The fog is still thick.  Of course, you can't light a fire and cook food here.  After the entire army simply finished eating and drinking, Muroga Nobutoshi came back.  "As Uehara Notomomo said, I believe that we can start a war immediately." "Oh, you even said that? Katsuyori, let's start a war, and Oyamada Nobushige will take the lead in attacking. Don't attack by force. If you feel strong resistance, immediately retreat and replace  The other teams took turns to attack. "Yes." The generals responded in unison and directed the teams to move forward.  In fact, Takeda Shingen was ready for a decisive battle from the moment he knew that the opponent was setting up the Crane Wing Formation.  He did not give the order immediately.  On the one hand, he deliberately pretended to be cautious, in order to teach and test his son Katsuyori.  On the other hand, it reminds the entire army not to take it lightly.  The huge fish scale array began to move.  At the same time, Torii Shirozaemon Tadahiro finally made up his mind to come to admonish Tokugawa Ieyasu for the last time.  Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered everyone to light a bonfire in front of the table, proudly clasping his hands and closing his eyes slightly.  The temperature dropped suddenly.  The sky is always full of haze, and there is no trace of sunshine.  Morning fog penetrated the tent from time to time.  "Report." Torii Shirozaemon Tadahiro entered the account.  "What's the matter?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked in a stern tone, his eyes still slightly closed.  Torii Tadahiro is Mototada's younger brother. In terms of bravery, he is not inferior to his elder brother; his intelligence is almost equal to that of his father Tadakichi.  "Sir! You look very bad." "Stop talking, what's the matter?" "Shiro has to tell your Lord what he sees and thinks: today's battle will be detrimental to us" "I know." "The enemy's troops  They are numerous and well prepared. Even if we defeat them, reinforcements will continue to arrive, and we will eventually be unable to support them." Tokugawa Ieyasu had no answer.  His eyes were still slightly closed, but the muscles on his cheeks were trembling.  "Sir! Let me see, it's better to retreat to the city, then Takeda Shingen will leave without a fight." "You bastard!" Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly opened his eyes, "I knew about that kind of thing a few months ago.  "Don't be clever!" "Sir, Shiro just asked you to retreat to the city, and didn't say to let them pass smoothly." "What?" "I mean, instead of fighting to the death here, it is better to pretend to retreat and avoid this dangerous place.  When the enemy is about to reach Horita, they launch a fierce attack from behind. Although this does not guarantee victory, it is enough to show the samurai character of us Okazaki people. " "Shut up! Do you think Tokugawa Ieyasu is the kind of person who makes decisions easily?  Coward!"  "This does not sound like what you are saying. When did I, Shirozaemon, ever escape from battle?" "It does not prove that you are a warrior. If you doubt my deployment when the army is approaching, you are a coward. If even we ourselves are  Shaken, can Oda's reinforcements still fight? You bastard!" Shiro fell silent.  He stared at Tokugawa Ieyasu resentfully.  There is no one more impulsive than Tokugawa Ieyasu. He must have been deceived by something!  Shiro thought.  And Tokugawa Ieyasu thought, how can this guy understand my thoughts?  He was extremely sad.  People can only try their best to think about it, and the outcome can only be determined by God.  Instead of living a humble life as a city lord, it is better to pray to God to let you die on the battlefield.  Although Tokugawa Ieyasu could not clearly express this state of mind to everyone, it can be said that he was mature enough to fight against fate.  "My lord, it seems that you have made up your mind. Just wait and see whether I am a coward or not. I will definitely make you change your mind." After Zhongguang finished speaking in a low and powerful voice, he stood up suddenly and walked out of the tent.  Time passed little by little in the biting cold wind.  It's past noon.  The Takeda family's army marched solemnly in the cold wind, pressing hard towards Chojohara without any hurry or slowness.  Okubo Tadayo's younger brothers Tadosa and Shibata Yasutada came to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Lord! The enemy is only half a mile away from us. Please prepare to give orders!" "Oh." Tokugawa Ieyasu responded.  The two walked towards the outside of the tent with their heads high and shouted: "Young men" and "Wait!" They were stopped by Hanzo Watanabe.  "We have reached this juncture, what are you waiting for?" "Wait a minute." Hanzo repeated, "My lord, do you still insist on your opinion?" "How can a general not insist on it?" "It's really strange." Hanzo lowered his voice,  He tilted his head and said, "Take a good look. The enemy's formation is like an iron wall, but we are so weak. We must try to stop the lord" "Hanzo, do you want to lower morale?" "This is not a matter of morale.  I'm worried about my lord. I want to remind him again, do you think it's okay?" Hanzo's voice seemed to reach Tokugawa Ieyasu's ears.  "No, Hanzo." Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly came outside the tent and slowly looked up at the sky.  The wind blew the flag, whistling, and felt the breath of winter snow.  "It's going to snow. Victory or defeat depends on the sky. Let's fight to the death."?¡­
