Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Surrounded by the samurai, Takeda Harunobu retreated secretly without any flags. Takeda Nobure took off his Suwa Hosei Kabuto and stood in the main formation behind Takeda Nobushige. The arrow silently took Takeda Nobure's life.  A stream of blood spurted out and sprayed on Takeda Nobushige's body and face. Takeda Nobushige was stunned for a moment.  In order to act more like Takeda Harunobu and buy more time for his brother to retreat, he took off the Suwa Hosho Kabuto and couldn't carry it with him when facing the throat chakra. This brought the greatest danger to his death.  Because of this, Shima Sakon's arrow came so fast that no one could react. It passed through the gap between several horse-riding warriors at a tricky angle and penetrated into Takeda Noburen's neck.  The cast-iron arrow penetrated the neck from one side and came out from the other side. Blood spurted out from both sides at the same time and just sprayed on his face. The tragic death of his brother caused huge damage to Takeda Nobushige. Takeda Nobushige valued brotherhood but watched helplessly.  Watching his brother die tragically under the enemy's deadly arrows, and holding Takeda Nobuyan's blood-covered body, Takeda Nobushige remained silent for a long time.  Takeda Harunobu still retreated. Takeda Nobushige never moved from beginning to end. He did not move until his nephew Takeda Yoshinobu was escorted to the front of the formation. More than a thousand of Takeda Nobushige's elite formed a circle to protect the main general.  , opposite them is a larger circle of Kira Legion, with no less than 5,000 people surrounding this circle.  "Takeda Noriba, surrender quickly! Your lord has escaped, how long will it take if you don't surrender now?" "Takeda Noriba, look at your nephew, look at the son next to you, aren't you surrendering yet?"  The shouts one after another made the Takeda family samurai hang their heads in shame.  The defeat in this battle is not their responsibility.  But he will taste the bitter pill of his captivity.  How can the samurai swallow this breath? They do not hate Takeda Nobushige. As a partial master, he has reached his limit and still cannot undo the defeat of the war.  But after a while, a gap opened in the formation. Kira Yoshishi came to the front of the formation surrounded by the army, and loudly advised: "Takeda Norigu has tried his best, and all the samurai present have also tried their best. You should have a clear conscience. Failure is not for the captives.  It's your fault, surrender! I will give you a fair treatment." After a long silence, a long sigh came from the formation: "I, Takeda Nobushige, surrendered!" In this battle, the Takeda family lost seven of its ten abilities.  Among the samurai warriors, there are close relatives such as Takeda Noburen, Takeda Nobumo, Ichijo Nobryu, etc. The members of the Shodai clan, Kanemaru Torayoshi, Tsuchiya Masaji and his son died in battle, and the Shodai clan members, Oda Toramori, Kudo Masasuke, Hinata Masatoki, and Saegusa Moritsuna.  , Hara Huyin, and Hara Masayin died in the battle, and samurai warriors such as Kurihara Nobyoumo, Asari Torazai, Kato Nobuhou, Iwate Yinhide, Iitomi Toramasa, Iitomi Masakei and other warriors were killed one after another.  This was an out-and-out total defeat, not only a severe loss of vitality and injuries, but also a complete failure of martial arts with no chance of recovery.  A total of 9,000 people were killed on the frontal battlefield, and nearly 3,000 prisoners were unable to escape in time. Only more than 3,000 people actually escaped.  For example, Minami Shinanogi Soe Yoshiyasu, Hida's Ema Tokimori and other players from other countries wiped the soles of their feet and ran away early.  On the side battlefield, only Takeda Nobushige's team rushed over. More than 3,000 people rushed over, and a thousand were captured. Seven or eight hundred people were killed on the river beach, and more than a thousand people did not rush out and were captured on the river beach.  Yukitaka Sanada's team of more than 5,000 people on the south bank of the Chikuma River was trapped by Murakami Yoshikiyo's attack. In the end, he cleverly cut off his tail to survive, and voluntarily abandoned the more than 2,000 cut off troops and led the main force of 3,000 Japanese troops along the way.  He escaped from death on the mountain road of Zimanu Mountain. This was another narrow escape from death through the fingers of the Kira family.  There were a total of 23,000 people fighting on both sides, and only 6,000 escaped. The others were either captured or killed. After the first actual inspection, it was calculated that a total of 10,000 Takeda troops were killed. Most of them were due to the collapse of the array during the assault.  Killing for the Kira Legion, on average almost everyone killed an enemy. Such a high death rate far exceeded the trauma Hojo suffered.  In order to kill Takeda Harunobu, the Kira Legion also paid a heavy price. Four thousand people of the 14,000-strong army were killed in the battle, and 2,300 people were killed in the Kira Legion's direct subordinates. Among them, the loss of more than 500 Chibei riders ranked among the losses.  The first place, the training cost of each red cavalry can easily cultivate ten elite mounted warriors and one hundred elite ashigaru.  In addition, Murakami Yoshikiyo's team who stayed at Kaijin Castle died in the battle, and only 1,200 remnants persisted until the end. If the Takeda Army on the main battlefield had not been defeated, and the morale of the Shinano National Army collapsed, Sanada Yukitaka would definitely  He would turn back and leave behind this bunch of remnant soldiers of Murakami Yoshikiyo, not to mention why he used 1,200 men to capture 2,000 prisoners alive.  The loss of 500 men was mainly due to Yoshitoki Kira's eagerness to fight. In order to kill Takeda Harunobu, he lost the lives of more than 200 cavalrymen. However, if there is a loss, there must be a gain. The lives of these 200 cavalrymen were exchanged for killing Iitomi Homasa and Iitomo.  The glorious results of Tomashi Kei, Takeda Nobuyan, the capture of Takeda Yoshinobu alive, and the capture of Takeda Nobushige, overall, it was a profit.?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The main force of the Takeda family in the Shinano-area, was all destroyed, and the Kira army pursued the victory non-stop, and marched all the way back to the small prefecture.  , the local servants who resisted were granted privileges and exemptions for a corresponding period of time. For a while, the people in Xiaozhen County were in despair. The Takeda Army samurai guarding the city were either assassinated by the Kira Ninja Army or captured by the common people. They were captured overnight.  Xiaozhen County was restored.  Sanada Yukitaka once again hunkered down in Toishi Castle with his remaining defeated soldiers and fought to the death. He had bet his life and fortune on the Takeda family and now there was no way out. If he chose to surrender, Kai's three sons would surely die, and he would not  He is willing to surrender like this. He has the dignity of a warrior and the glory of a wise general. Even if he stands and dies, he is not willing to live in humiliation. He works hard to motivate the remaining eight hundred children to prepare for the cage city, as if he is going to fight to the death against the stone city.  .  It's a pity that Kira Yoshitoki didn't seem to have much interest in the group of defeated soldiers. He left the injured Murakami Yoshikiyo team to pin the Toishi Castle and went straight to Saku County. At this time, Saito Nobunobu had already defeated Saku County.  The inside and outside were cleared, and the unreasonable Nezumi Masanao and Mochizuki Moritoki of the Shimono family were begged by Saito Asanobu early in Odaihara.  Magistrate Oyamada Masatatsu and the remnants of the Takeda Army wanted to defend Uchiyama Castle, but they happened to encounter Saito Asanobu who came to pick up the leak and was asked for it without hesitation. The people of Saku County who were still holding on saw Kira's army coming to kill him.  It became clear that the situation was over.  Saku County was then decided.  ???????????????Murakami Yoshikiyo.  Without him defending Kaijin Castle for three months, there would be no glorious record of the Kira Army's painstaking efforts to arrange a decisive victory. Just saying that he defended a flat castle under huge pressure is a very remarkable achievement, and it is reasonable to give him merit.  For the second time, Daxiong Chaohide and Cheng Zhengzi made great contributions at the critical moment. If he gritted his teeth and blocked it for a moment, the Takeda troops who could not be used from all sides would entangle Kira Yoshiki, and then Takeda Nobushige came to rescue him.  It was really impossible to catch anything at that time, let alone kill whom and capture whom.  Moreover, these two people faced huge pressure for several years and still did not betray. They passed on valuable information to the Kira family, and he deserved the credit for this.  Miyabe Jijun, the third-level force, achieved four first-level achievements at the same time. He captured three castles in Hachimangahara in one night. He lurked outside the Takeda Army camp all night and resisted the Takeda Army's bait without showing up.  At the most critical moment, he flew to the camp to capture and kill a letter dragon, igniting a raging fire and dealing a fatal blow to the Takeda army. ??????????????????????????? But seeking death at such a high level is a matter worth bragging about, and samurai warriors can understand even if they suffer more losses.  The last battle in which tens of thousands of people were killed was the Great Monocollision decades ago, when more than 20,000 troops of Hosokawa Takakuni and Urakami Muramune were completely wiped out.  Urakami Muramune was killed on the spot, and the indigo dye vat of Hosokawa Takakuni Amagasaki Kyoya was caught and killed. That war was so outrageous and bizarre that it was almost comparable to some outrageous wars in the Genpei era and the Southern and Northern Dynasties era.  The outstanding performance of all the soldiers boosted their momentum and made up for the lost morale. Among them, the quiet Miyabe Tsugujun performed very eye-catchingly in the night battle of Hachimanhara and the decisive battle. Another very eye-catching person was Shitara.  Sadachi, he led the Shinano reserve force to withstand the fierce attack of Oda Toramori, Sone Masayo, and Hara Masain, and forcibly obtained Oda Toramori's head, causing the Takeda Army's central army to collapse, which is also a record worth boasting about.  After the war, when the losses and gains were counted, Yoshitoki Kira immediately fulfilled the promise he made before going into battle. As long as the Takeda army was defeated, 50,000 gold coins would be released on the spot as a reward to the three armies. The rest of the merits, such as heads, pensions, merit analysis, etc., would be calculated separately.  The first thing I did when I arrived at Asahiyama Castle was to offer 50,000 gu copper coins as cash. The 50,000 gu coins were distributed to all soldiers on the spot. Among them, more than 5,800 war dead in total would be collected by the widows and family members of the victims.  It is said that under heavy rewards, there must be brave men, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished. Keeping promises is the way to be a king. Kira Yoshitoki knows that trust and prestige are the basis of good reputation, so before every war, the reward is announced, and the battle  He was not stingy with money afterward. Dozens of carriages pulled heavy money boxes in front of Kasugayama Castle. This was not the first time he opened the golden copper coins. He was using his actions to tell all his followers that there is no need to worry about following the Kira family.  Merit and wealth.  After taking down Kozhin and Saku counties, the entire Northern Shinano was completely swallowed up. Miyabe Tsurujun led two thousand troops and was ordered to go to Saku County. He tentatively crossed the Shinshu Pass and launched an attack on Kai. He was quickly resisted and resolutely resisted.  The people of the Kai Kingdom were forced to retreat. Considering that Saku County had just been captured and people's hearts were still unsettled, Kira Yoshi agreed to Namioka's proposal and ordered Miyabe Tsurujun to lead two thousand troops to guard Hainokuchi Castle.  On the other side, Honjo Shigeru, Kakizaki Keie and other Echigo men led more than 3,000 men across the Baba Pass and attacked Nakashinano. Honjo Shigenaga's performance in the joint battle was not conspicuous, probably because he was not used to night battles and was slow to react, so he only had time.  I caught the head of Asari Tiger and beheaded the unknown person.The waiter was too embarrassed to show off.  The Kakizaki Kage family didn't make it to the third level, and they were holding their breath to find them back in Chongshinano. However, they were stubbornly blocked in Aoyagi Castle in the first battle. The people of Chongshinano hated the Kira family.  In the battle that ended, more than half of Shinano's people were lost, but even this could not change their hatred for the Kira family.  Five hundred defenders stubbornly blocked the troops of Honjo Nobunaga and Kakizaki Keike in the newly renovated Aoyagi Castle. The Etsui reserve troops, lacking the support of iron cannons and roasters, could only stare at the city in worry, and the local servants came from time to time.  The Kira army was annoyed by harassing grain roads and attacking military camps. As the wind and snow increased in late October, it seemed that the offensive was completely out of the question. They were recalled by Kira Yoshitoki to end Naka Shinano's unsuccessful invasion.  When Kiragi learned about this situation, he was also very troubled. Thinking about last year, he was too eager for quick success and offended the people of Zhongshinano too hard. He couldn't win it in a short time.  At this time, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that the New Year is approaching.  Good news came out one after another in Vietnam and Vietnam.  When Kira Yoshi relaxed, he considered returning to Echigo and made corresponding arrangements before leaving.  Murakami Yoshikiyo was ordered to lead the troops of his headquarters and 3,000 people from Northern Shinano. A total of 3,000 people were guarding Katsurao Castle. They were responsible for attacking Yukitaka Sanada, the only one in Northern Shinano who had not surrendered. Miyabe Tsurujun's 2,000 people were monitoring Uinokuchi Castle.  Regarding the movements at Shinshu Pass, Ogasawara served as the leader of the Naka Shinano strategy for a long time and was responsible for wooing and conquering the Naka Shinano territory.  Allow him to restore his old territory after successfully conquering it.  Kakizaki Keie, Yasuda Keimoto, Yoshie Keizi and other Chinese people were transferred to Etchu Shinkawa County. Kakizaki Keie was transferred to Tenjin Mountain to build a new city as the city lord. The land knowledge increased to 550 towns. Yasuda Keimoto, Yoshie  Jingzi also arranged for them to be located in the nearby territory. Since there was no ready-made stronghold, they were allowed to move to nearby small villages and merge them into a town, and then built corresponding buildings, city walls and castle oars.  As for the large number of captured prisoners, there are no plans to deal with them for the time being. Takeda Harunobu ran all the way back to Kai from Chushinano with the remaining defeated soldiers, and had no time to care about the life and death of his brother and son.  For a while, Kira Yoshitoki didn't think about how to use these trump cards, so he had to escort them and follow the army back to Echigo.  ¡­ At the end of September, the Mogami Army lingered in Haoyue for a long time but quickly retreated.  They had to return to Dewa Country before it started to snow, otherwise they would not be able to leave even if it snowed in the high mountains. The Mogami Army wandered around the Shimogoshi Country and basically didn't catch anything. Instead, they were so frightened by the actions of the people from the Shimogoshi Country that they couldn't eat or sleep.  Day and night, I was on guard against being taken away from my lair, just like a bandit who wanted to change places after being shot.  I wanted to make a fortune during the autumn harvest and go home to celebrate the New Year, but I was frightened by the defeat of the Date and Ashina coalition forces. The main force of the Mogami Army was the common people, not the so-called direct standing troops. They listened to the words of the king.  The purpose of running to Echichi was to grab money, food, and women. Faced with the siege, interception and attacks by the Shimotsu people, their treatment was basically the same as that of the Shinano soldiers under the Takeda family, and they were even more unlucky than them.  The flexible maneuvers of Echigo's Kira naval forces could appear near the Arakawa and Agano Rivers at any time and frighten them until their legs weakened. As the defeated Date and Ashina coalition forces fled, the Chinese and Vietnamese troops rushed to Hwaetsu.  , fortunately the most terrifying "Takigawa Tokimasu" and "Shima Tokikatsu" returned to Kasugayama Castle obediently, otherwise Mogami Army would really be scared out of his wits.  Even so, the Mogami Army was still frightened when they saw Echigo's large-scale siege. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Mogami Hachijo leaders discussed it and ran away without saying a word. In any case, they were not at a loss, so they treated Takeda as  Jueai spending five hundred taels of gold to let them have an armed parade is worthy of Takeda Harunobu's heavy gold reward.  The war in the Echigo siege network showed signs of beginning and ending with the collapse of the two horns of the Takeda Army and the Hojo Army. Echigo had always gathered an army of 40,000 under the Yun Cheng organization of Shengxing Temple, and organized another group after the autumn harvest.  The new attack was probably because Kotokuji Nobuhiro, who felt it was in the way, withdrew to Kaga and had the opportunity to seize the fruits of victory. The greedy Echichu had been trying to attack for more than a month and found nothing but corpses all over the ground.  As the heavy snow fell, Xiang Yikui's final hope of ending the Vietnam-China War within the year was dashed. The disadvantages of Xiang Yikui, who essentially belonged to the peasant-soldier group, were revealed. The battles that were not going smoothly were getting weaker and weaker, and morale dropped from high to extremely low in more than a month.  To such an extent, a heavy snow extinguished the enthusiasm of the Yixiang sect believers, and our side lost thousands of lives but gained nothing in return. How should this war continue?  "How should we fight this war?" The clan officials were also hesitant, but they soon stopped worrying about this pointlessly, because the news of the Takeda family and the Hojo family's successive defeats came, and the Echib¨­ clan  The officials were immediately panicked.  The total collapse of the Takeda family, the big financier, was like a bolt from the blue. The news of the defeat of the Hojo family further dampened the fighting will of Etchubo officials. Etchu has always been a leader of the army.The morale is getting lower and lower, and the defenders in the city seem to have received the news. The low morale has improved. The warriors in the city are clamoring and provoking the Yiyi Kui army outside the city. There are more and more cases, and there is even a military morale within the Yi Yi Kui army.  Signs of instability.  Under such circumstances, Jinbao Changzhi reflected their fine tradition of cheating teammates. He dropped a few words that night and led the army to leave early the next morning. This time, he could defeat Shengxingji Yuncheng and Zuiquan.  The temple minister was very angry, but he was a Chinese lord and not a local official, so the two great monks couldn't stop him.  The Chinese officials in Vietnam also expressed their intention to go home to celebrate the New Year and enjoy the hard-won fruits of victory. A group of great monks such as Shengxing Temple Yuncheng and Ruiquan Temple Yongxiu knew that they could not do anything, so they simply disbanded their armed forces during the winter.  We each went back to our homes and looked for our mothers. Tens of thousands of people arrived happily and went away safely, chasing the chickens and ducks and pushing the flatbed trucks filled with food back to their hometowns for the New Year.  As for the territory of Shinkawa County, the officials each occupied a piece of their own territory. The Jimbo family arrogantly assigned a large piece of territory near Toyama Castle to themselves. The two old monks were disgusted by this. They were unwilling to fight for the territory.  It was a first-class initiative. Fortunately, the big idiot Kotokuji Temple Chengxian in Kaga left early. Only locals were able to divide the chassis. It was not bad. How can I say that Eshui County was completely eaten by several large temples in Echu?  It's still very profitable.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki relied on his tenacious defense to fight 8,000 against 100,000 and 4,000 against 40,000 until the moment of victory. Although they paid a heavy price for this, they almost fought one for two for three.  Yes, the defenders still had strong fire support, strong will and several months of rich experience in defending the city. They were able to survive. In more than a month, they repelled the army countless times, leaving them with a victory.  hope.  At the end of the war, Yamamoto Tokiyuki did not lead his troops to evacuate Ezhong. Instead, he led his troops to leave Matsukura Castle on the high mountain and come to the relatively wide and flat Uojin Castle to spend the winter. The five thousand troops paid the price of nearly half of their casualties. This loss is indescribable.  It's not a big deal, and if you pay a painful price, you will naturally get rich rewards. The more than two thousand people who survived experienced a rare baptism of war and completely transformed into a powerful force.  They learn how to fight, how to cooperate with their comrades, how to survive the war as much as possible, kill as many enemies as possible, kill the enemy and see blood, and experience the horror of life and death on the battlefield. This is the transformation process from new recruits to elite soldiers.  , Saijo trained for five years, and was carefully covered up by Kira Yoshitoki for one year. This transformation process was completed after the Fukakusa battle. Now they only need less than two years of training and a few months of war to succeed.  I don't know if it's luck or misfortune.  In the blink of an eye, the end of the year came. Due to the influence of heavy snow, the Kira Legion and the Nagao Legion were forced to return to Echigo to celebrate the New Year. When they were in Kasugayama Castle Kiragi, they learned the specific situation of the civil war since the summer. For his wife Nagao Torahime,  Ii Naotora's sudden attack was still highly appreciated and praised.  Of course, their nonsensical behavior was also strongly criticized by Nagao Kagetora, who said that "their feelings are permissible but their actions must be severely punished." As a punishment for the two former princesses and current wives, Princess Aya disciplined them even more strictly, wielding a knife.  The act of handling guns is strictly prohibited, and only basic exercises with wooden knives and bamboo swords are allowed. All their collections of armor, swords, guns and other weapons have been taken away, and the number of times they can ride horses is strictly limited to three times a month. It seems that they will never  Say goodbye to these murderous weapons.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
