Three Rivers Butterfly Chapter 360 The decisive battle on Kawanaka Island

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Three months of smooth sailing caused the Takeda family to fall into unprecedented complacency and self-paralysis. They thought that the Kira Legion only gained an advantage through its well-equipped equipment. The Takeda family only needed to open the Dragon Gate Formation to stop the Kira family. It was difficult for the Kira family to move forward.  They have all sorts of tricks and powerful abilities, so what if they can't use them even half a cent?  But the cruel reality made the Takeda family realize that they were so wrong. Staying still for three months was not incompetence but the forbearance and dormancy of waiting for the opportunity. Countless times, Takeda Harunobu wondered what the Kira family had to do to deal with them.  , but as time passed, it proved that his suspicion was just overthinking. Now that he thought about it, he was still too careless.  Having been humiliated by the Kira family one after another, his face has been ruined. Now the only strategy he can be proud of has been completely disfigured by Kira Yoshihide. Takeda Harunobu gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "The Kira Town Palace is really cunning. This plan is linked to one link after another.  The ring is impeccable, this is to force our family to go out for rescue! If the Kira army is allowed to cross the river in large numbers and swallow up Nobushige's troops, not to mention the chance of a comeback, even this battle will collapse in an instant. No matter what, our family will fight for it, our chance.  There is only one time, and that is to attack him while he is crossing the river. "At the beginning of Haishi, the crescent moon hung feebly in the night sky, and the faint clouds floated gently to cover it. After a while, Hachimanhara  A gust of wind blew away the clouds, and the hazy moonlight revealed a ray of light and shadow from the gap in the clouds. A faint halo of light shined through the thin clouds, revealing a piece of silvery white. But after a while, another large cloud covered the night sky.  Only a little bit of white light leaked out from the edge of the clouds.  The hazy moonlight fell on the ground and was almost invisible. It was not much different from the situation yesterday. It was still a dark night, and it was so dark that it was not the middle of winter. It was difficult to notice people standing slightly farther away. Thousands of people stood still.  The figure of Yu Dao was quietly lurking in the trees outside the Chajiu Mountain camp. In the late autumn night, the dew-laden warriors lay on the ground and soon became cold all over.  Miyabe Tsurun led more than a thousand men who dared to die and lay in wait outside the stronghold. Not long after, the Takeda army completed its reorganization and quickly opened the city gate and walked out. Shi Shiran, a leader of more than a thousand people, came out and saw a group of warriors secretly  They gathered together densely, and slowly walked out of the camp surrounded by a group of generals. The flag seal was clearly the main flag of the Takeda family.  "The target has appeared, let's take action!" Ohuchi Tsunao was excitedly gearing up, but Miyabe Tsurugi held his arm firmly and couldn't move. The Mikawa samurai felt reckless, seeing the Omi monk holding him down and preventing him from moving.  Unhappy, he struggled hard but still couldn't get free. He was so angry that he was about to yell when a big hand covered his mouth.  Only a low voice came to my ears: "My lord said that Takeda Harunobu is used to cheating. We still don't know whether that person is Takeda Harunobu himself. We must not act too hastily on this opportunity. It is better to wait and see first."  Take a look and then talk!" Miyabe Jijun relaxed his hands when he saw that he didn't fight or shout. Then he heard Ohuchi Tsunaka complaining in a low voice: "You are such an unreasonable monk. Just say what you want. That's why.  If you want to attack me, if I, Tsuna, don't know that you are not a bad person, the samurai lying on the left and right will use their swords. We don't know what Takeda Harunobu looks like. You can just let it go so easily. If you miss an opportunity,  Don't blame me if something goes wrong." Seeing this veteran in his thirties complaining, Miyabe Tsurugi patiently explained: "I can't explain it in one sentence or two. Our top priority is to attack the city at night, and then the next.  It is to expand the results of the war. If we have more than a thousand people to fight against the 15,000 army, we will die. No matter how dare you die, you must not do it like this. You must know that it is not easy for the master to train these soldiers and generals.  It's worthwhile to kill half of Takeda's army. " "Hmph! You said it's easy. After all, you still want to be useful and make another contribution! If you're not satisfied with taking three cities in one night, take the initiative.  The important task of commanding the Death Squadron shows how ambitious you are!" Ohuchi Tsunao looked at this monk with a smile. He is three years younger than him. He has just turned thirty this year and is in the prime of life. He has not shown much talent in the past few years.  He was able to become a reserve general even though he was not showing off, but his achievements were not outstanding. It was always thought that he was a native of Omi who got through it because of his background and qualifications.  The Kira family is not a backwater. Small frictions have always existed between the Omi people and the Mikawa samurai, and between the meritorious faction and the followers. In recent years, Yamamoto Tokiyuki has retreated to the second line and gradually become less involved. Leaders from several parties have also surfaced. Miyamoto  Even though Tsurugi Tsubasa is a representative figure among the people of Omi country, this time he went out of his way to gain achievements. It can't be said that he is trying to gain more wealth for the people of Omi country.  Miyabe Tsurun said modestly: "Tsunataka-dono is joking. I, Tsurun, am a samurai of the Kira family. It is the samurai's bounden duty to go through fire and water for the master of the hall. As for those words of ambition, don't ever mention them. Our only hope is family."  If the business is prosperous, I will be satisfied with eating meat and drinking soup with the master, so it is appropriate to replace it with ambition." While chatting, another dense group of samurai walked out of the camp, surrounded by a samurai wearing Suwan's armor.  Get out of campThousands of people followed behind him to protect the formation. It was obvious that the Takeda Army was very cautious. They used Kagemusha every time they left the camp to test the changes in the outside world.  Ohuchi Tsunaka was completely convinced, and regardless of whether Miyabe Tsurujun could see clearly or not, he gave him a thumbs up: "Sure enough, you guessed it, tell me how you guessed it? I see Tsunaka  I was stunned for a long time but couldn't see any flaw. Could it be that the Takeda Army has clairvoyance to see through our actions? " "The owner of the museum specifically told Takeda Harunobu to be careful when using deceit. Just now I saw Takeda when I opened the door.  When Harunobu's main force came out, did Tsunadaka-don think this was normal? For the general to lead the army, how many times had there been in the past ten years since Takeda Harunobu raised his army and exiled his father?  There are always times when he personally leads the troops into battle." After Miyabe Jijun's enlightenment, Ohuchi Tsunaka suddenly felt enlightened: "That's right! I said that you can use the method even if you don't see the flaws. So this is it.  It's a trick! But don't the Takeda family have Tohoku ninjas? It's very dangerous for us to ambush outside the Takeda army camp like this!  The adults say this is called darkness under the lamp. When a candlestick is placed on the map, the area under the shadow of the candlestick is always the easiest to ignore. In addition, the Takeda Army suffered a new defeat last night and was shaken. It must be too busy. Tonight, I, Kira, will be defeated again.  The army was lured away from the mountain to deceive the camp. There will definitely be omissions in the hasty arrangement. No matter how delicate Takeda Harunobu is, he would not have thought that we could endure until they all came out. We only have to wait for all Takeda troops to leave before sealing off the camp.  Just capture the remaining warriors in the camp alive!" Miyabe Jijun quickly explained clearly and fell into silence for a long time.  The news of the Takeda Army's appearance could not be hidden at all. The 15,000-strong army turned into a long dragon with torches and rushed towards Hachimanhara. This was the moment Kira Yoshitoki was waiting for. The army made a gesture of crossing the river to draw out the Takeda Army. This was it.  At this time, the military situation that had been clamoring for a long time suddenly turned, and the rear team changed into the front team and went straight to the Takeda Army to kill.  However, the Takeda Army seemed to have expected that they would make this move, and quickly regrouped the Naga Snake Formation to form the Crane Wing Formation to meet the enemy. In the middle of the night, more than 13,000 of the Kira Army of Hachimanhara Uami faced off against one of the Takeda Army.  Fifteen thousand troops started a fight. Takeda Nobushige's troops on the other side of the river also made a posture to cross the river at this time. Putting aside the huge threat of the Kira Navy, they insisted on breaking into the Kira Army's main formation from Amamiya Ferry.  "Haha! Isn't this very similar to the formation of the Woodpecker? It's just that the main formation has 15,000 people, and the Rangers have 8,000 people Interesting! It's so interesting!" Several bonfires in the main formation of Ohorikan  The fire was so strong that Kira Yoshitoshi did not leave the city at all. He led a group of 500 horses to guard the city to suppress the formation. Thousands of cavalry troops galloping in the dark night shook the Hachimangahara like thunder, and the Takeda army was particularly shocked.  He held his position tightly and did not dare to take any further steps.  The howling mountain wind blew bitingly. The ashigaru warriors were shivering in the cold night. The young recruits were pushed to the edge of the formation and suffered from the cold. The old soldiers huddled in the formation and cursed: "The wind is really strong at night. It's still warm during the day."  It's incredible. Just a few hours later, the wind turned northwest. It's going to snow! If it really snows, this battle will be even more difficult. I wonder how many of you young people can make it back alive.  "The old pawn's unintentional words had another taste in the ears of the garrison general Nobuharu Baba. The Takeda Army he led were all authentic Kai samurai. Except for Shinano in the garrison, they usually stayed at the Takeda family.  His treatment is far better than that of those who surrendered from Shinano, and he has always been regarded as a confidant by Takeda Harunobu. Now even the Takeda family's own team has complained, so there is no need to think too much about what the people of Shinano are like.  While thinking about it, the deafening drums sounded by the conch blowing were also sounded at any time. The great blessing of the Suwa Taisha Shrine directed the four young children to beat the drums desperately in the cold night. The four little children were covered with hair in the cold wind.  Trembling, the thin clothes were originally a symbol of the arrival of the gods, but in this cold winter season, they were like a broken tent leaking air everywhere, leaving them covered in bruises.  The soldiers of the Kira Army changed into thicker clothes early, and the samurai were treated even better. They wore thick burqas outside the barrel-shaped trousers. This white burqa with the family pattern on the bottom was very popular among the samurai.  He loves and is as luxurious as Takigawa Tokiyoshi, and even puts a thick robe on his horse Matsukaze.  The family crest of the Takigawa family is the Marusan Hikiryo authorized by Kira Yoshitoshi. Anyway, it doesn't hurt that his family's pedigree is unclear. It's not a bad idea for him to say that he is a descendant of the Bando Taira clan. Not to mention that the direct descendant of Miura Sanbikiryo is currently unknown.  , even if they knew that there was this pretender relative, they would probably be happy to recognize him. The name of Takigawa Keijiro, the first general of the Kira family, was not just blown away.  Takigawa Tokiyoshi is proud, he is invincible, he has never been defeated, and today he once again stood at the forefront of the cone-shaped assault formation, willing to be the sharp edge. Looking back, he saw the army with mountains of swords and guns, and forests of flags, like a demon Yaksha.  There was a thunderous sound coming from the steel surface.???roar: "I, Takigawa Keijiro, have been ordered by the Lord to attack the rebellious minister Takeda Harunobu. However, anyone who interferes will be killed without mercy. All gentlemen, please follow me and follow me to attack! Anyone who is a few steps slower is not worthy of wearing this suit."  "I will obey the general's order and I will not give up!" Thousands of warriors roared like tigers, and the sound of the mountains and forests shook for hundreds of miles. In an instant, thousands of knights rushed into the formation, making a clattering sound of steel armor. Each of Kira's cavalry put on their own weapons.  Weapons, nearly half of the warriors gave up heavy and heavy guns, holding hammers and staffs in their left hands and fan-shaped shields in their right hands. Several long knives, battle axes and other fragmentary weapons were hung on the saddles. This is a common equipment for elite knights. They are not prepared for a war.  There is no way to fight with the few spare weapons you have at your disposal.  When the Takeda Army saw this, seven or eight samurai immediately jumped out and responded angrily. As the saying goes, a general is a courageous soldier, and a general with a raging army is like this. The samurai of the Takeda Army have the heart of losing the battle rather than losing. Since a general is brave,  If you can't be carried by one person, then seven or eight people will go up together. Even if it's a little embarrassing, it doesn't matter. At this point in the war, do they still have a choice?  Everyone loves a great teacher, but what if the conditions don¡¯t allow it?  Itomi Masakage led Takeda Akabi to the front, with his brother Itomi Homasa on his left, and Baba Nobharu on his right. Three thousand elite men under his command charged against Kira Akabi in his prime. The place where the two sides collided  It happens to be the flattest grassland in Hachimanhara, and the withered yellow weeds that were originally waist-high have been forcibly carved out of a path.  The generals of both sides locked on the target at the same time. Not to mention that the target was very tall and easy to find. The white robe covered with heavy armor was also very eye-catching. It was simply the best reference in the dark night. I only heard the sound of several generals.  , and immediately more than five hundred mounted warriors dismounted, drew out their spears, and formed a spear formation.  The remaining mounted samurai turned left and right, forming a flanking formation. In the blink of an eye, the Takeda Army completed a beautiful tactical encirclement. This improvised pocket formation, Takikawa Tokimasu's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.  , shouted: "Chibei listens to the order! Spread out and charge forward!" The Chibei Armored Cavalry immediately divided into two wings and crashed into the two wings of the Takeda Army. When it came to the means of responding to the enemy, they had been repeatedly warned by Yamamoto Tokiyuki and Kira Yoshitoki for many years.  Takikawa Keijiro was no less than a long-time veteran of the Takeda family. Baba Nobuharu secretly screamed, "It's bad. Now the force has been divided. It's not possible to unite the troops in a short span of more than 20 meters. The mounted warriors don't even have a chance to stop."  No, it hit Kira Chibi's forward straight up.  The elite cavalry from both sides met again. The knight at the front roared excitedly when he saw that they were about to collide. The speed did not decrease but increased, driving the galloping horse to collide head-on with Takeda Chibi. The instantaneous impact hit the sternum of the mount.  Smashed softly and fell down, the samurai on the seat was thrown away by the strong inertia, and collided with the five or six cavalrymen led by Takeda Akabi in the military formation.  On the frontal battlefield, four thousand elite Ashigaru members of the Kira Corps charged with large shields. The left-wing general Ogasawara Nagatoro led the Shinano people to block the Takeda Ashigaru who tried to lean on the cavalry to strangle the battlefield. The right-wing general Kakizaki Keie watched with excitement.  , yelled: "Echigo's son rushed over with me and chopped off the Takeda family's heads. The victory or defeat of Shinano will depend on this battle!" (To be continued.)
