    Ogasawara failed to seize the city for a long time, forcing Yukitaka Sanada to give up the strategy of full bloom, and instead focus on suppressing and clearing out designated areas. He rushed to the camp and used rockets to set the granary in the camp on fire, allowing them to hoard the grain and grass carelessly in the camp outside the city.  Even if they couldn't gather together and annihilate them, they would still be severely injured. Murakami Yoshikiyo also took this opportunity to burn some of the food and grass in Sone Masashi's camp and hurriedly retreated.  This exciting night attack battle almost resulted in a big own-goal due to a coordination error at one point. Fortunately, the preset plan acted first and the Takeda Army in the two camps suffered a major blow before they could make the next step.  , as soon as the food and grass started to burn, hundreds of ashigaru were attracted to fight the fire. Fortunately, the fire was not big when it first burned, and it took more than an hour to finally put it out. By this time, the Shinano Army had already withdrawn without a trace.  The sky was twilight, but the burning smell from the camp still lingered. The Ashigaru people worked hard all night to clean up the traces of the fire, clean up the burned tents and food and grass. In the big tent, Baba Nobharu was surrounded by several doctors cleaning arrow wounds. These army doctors  They are all experienced veterans who know how to use boiling water to sterilize medical instruments, and how to roast medical knives and scissors several times on the fire before taking them out for use.  He carefully cut open the armor to reveal an arrow sore full of blood. He sprinkled highly distilled sake on the sore. The huge pain caused Baba Nobuharu to frown. The old doctor took a deep breath and picked up a sterilized knife to carve out the arrowhead bit by bit.  Waves of severe pain hit him like a blunt knife cutting flesh. It didn't take long for Baba Nobuharu to sweat profusely from the pain. Without anesthetic, it was not Guan Gong. It was very human to be able to grit his teeth without making a sound. The medical officer present could not beat him to death.  Meinong admired the ghost very much.  "Congratulations to Meinong for guarding the palace. The wound from the arrow is not deep because he has armor to protect his body. The arrow is not poisonous either. It will be fine soon it will be fine!" The moment the old doctor pulled out the arrow.  Several assistant doctors who had been waiting for a long time quickly applied the wound medicine, dried the white cloth in a steamer, quickly put on the bandage, and then left with a few instructions to change the dressing on time, pay attention to self-cultivation, suitable foods and taboos, etc.  Several young people took off their tattered armors, and two servants came in with hot water and towels to wipe the body of Nobuharu Nobuharu, another young man brought a cooked thirst-quenching health drink. Although the mountains and rivers of Shinano are cool in summer, you can wear armor.  After fighting for several hours, you will eventually be soaked in sweat. In addition to drinking water, you must also wipe your body in time.  Nobuharu Baba covered his painful arrow wound.  He yelled angrily: "Come here! Bring over Oisaburo and others who are on duty today. I will personally kill this evil thief!" "General Kai, Oisaburo and our team's ashigaru died during the fire-fighting process.  " Itagaki Nobuan hesitated for a moment but still tried to cover up those ashigaru who took the initiative to jump into the sea of ??fire. It was not that he sympathized with those despicable ashigaru, but he was really worried that telling the truth would make Baba Nobuharu angry again and cause bad things.  The complications were not good. The medical officer repeatedly told them not to make Nobuharu Baba angry, so how could they dare to talk nonsense.  Itagaki Nobunaga is Itagaki Nobukata¡¯s son-in-law and adopted son. His original name was Sogen Hachiro. He inherited the Itagaki family business after his brother-in-law Itagaki Nobunori was killed. The weight of his words is much higher than that of ordinary Ashigaru generals.  After hearing the news, Baba Nobharu's face actually improved a lot. He snorted coldly and said: "Those evil thieves were taken advantage of. I suspected that they were secret agents of the Kira family and even tricked me into leaving the stronghold unprepared, but I was tricked."  After being ambush by the Kira Army, I can't wait to cut these evil thieves into pieces!" When Baba Nobuharu said this, no one else dared to interrupt and explain. Even if the conclusion was a little absurd, it didn't hurt. After a while, Takeda  Nobushige and Sone Masayo rushed over to visit the injured Baba Nobharu. Seeing that he was injured by an arrow and unable to move, Takeda Nobushige sighed: "But I underestimated Kira Jun's method. Judging from the method of this conspiracy, it must be Sanada's method.  We never expected that Danmasa Sanada would be reused by the Kira family so quickly, and that he would be the leader of the 17,000-strong army. Lord Jinfu¡¯s ambition and methods are far beyond our imagination!¡± Hearing that Takeda Nobushige!  Sone Masayo and Baba Nobharu couldn't help but frown as they respected Kira Yoshiki in their words. They could see that Takeda Nobushige was still affected by Echigo during the few months he was imprisoned, and they inadvertently called him "Zhenshige".  "Fu Gong" instead, although this kind of title is always easy to choose, but when they are enemies, it is always uncomfortable to address the enemy's family governor respectfully.  "Sanada Danzheng has unpredictable methods, but he unexpectedly surrenders to the Kira family. Doesn't he claim to be a loyal minister and good general? Is such an act of betrayal worthy of the title of loyal minister and good general?  What a shameful samurai!" Baba Nobuharu cursed angrily, but he accidentally got injured by an arrow, and he groaned in pain.  Takeda Nobushige didn't quite agree with Baba Nobharu's attitude, and shook his head and said: "Sanada Danmasa must have his own reasons for having to deal with it! Those Chinese hostages who were kidnapped in the Uzaki Hall last year must not forget the two children of Sanada Danmasa.  The lord died in battle on the Hachimangahara. If the Kira family captured his three youngest sons, it would be like holding Sanada Tanmasa's life in check.?, I believe you two can understand it, right?  " "It was our negligence!  All the hostages in the Tsuzaki Hall were taken away. It seems that the Kira family has already started planning. I'm waiting for it!  "Sone Masayo sighed, but the two of them sighed. "There was a time when the Takeda family was very confident in their own strength. Even if they couldn't defeat the Nagao and Kira families in a wild battle, they could always recover the losses they suffered from you when it came to tactics.  But today's changes in the situation tell the Takeda family that they are no match for the Kira family in terms of strategic tactics or head-to-head combat on the battlefield. This kind of blow to their self-confidence will inevitably be more severe than the blow to their self-esteem.  We may not care about the Kira family's righteous accusations, but we can't help but care about the Kira family's strategies. The pre-battle strategy at midnight yesterday failed for a while, and earlier when the hostages at the Uzaki Hall were robbed, it was a complete failure.  When the hostages were taken, they didn't think what would happen, but they didn't want the Kira family to seize the opportunity to take away a sharp knife from the Takeda family. Most of the other two Takeda three bombs were not worthy of their names. Only Sanada Yukitaka's bombs were worthy of their names.  The general is perfect whether he is trying to win over the enemy or defending a fortified city to stop the enemy's attack. What's more powerful is that his tactics of siege are unpredictable and can affect most of the country.  The anti-Takeda alliance was easily broken up by him, and he made a great contribution to the Takeda family's capture of Shinano. When he had the sharp knife in his hand, the Takeda family's strategy was smooth, and he was able to use the sharp knife with ease.  Needless to say, once I met the powerful enemy Kira family, I found that the strategy was not going so well, and the sharp knives did not seem to be as useful as before. I immediately felt that Yukitaka Sanada was not as powerful as before, and I felt a sense of disgust in my heart, but no one cared about it anymore.  Yukitaka Sanada has made so many achievements and endured so many hardships. On this day, he suddenly betrayed the Kira family and became the sharp knife of a powerful enemy. The dissatisfaction and anger in his heart suddenly broke out, just like Baba Nobuharu's sarcastic words.  Okay, some samurai privately scolded Yukitaka Sanada really badly. They almost compared Yukitaka Sanada to a despicable villain, and even falsely accused the Kira family of infiltrating the Takeda family's secret room, but they didn't think about what they had done to Sanada in the past few years.  Everyone, how many things have been done to Yukitaka Sanada himself. This is the bad nature of human nature. He only remembers the bad things about others but forgets the good things about others. No matter how much merit Yukitaka Sanada has made, it is unforgivable if he makes mistakes.  Just as everyone praises heroes, when heroes accidentally make mistakes that ordinary people may also make, they are always unforgivable because the hero's undefeated image is always magnified by people unconsciously.  Just forget that he is also a mortal with flesh and blood. ¡°The topic is too heavy!  Let¡¯s not talk about this!  "Sone Masayo changed the subject, looked at Takeda Nobushige with admiration and said: "Speaking of which, it is thanks to Takeda Nomiya that he defeated the Ogasawara army and reversed the war situation in time. It did not force us to have no choice but to commit suicide after defeat. I would like to thank Takeda for this.  Dian Stable Palace!  "    "ah!  It's time to thank Dian Mang Palace for your great kindness. If I couldn't bear it any later, my life would have been handed down here. Please accept my respect!  "Baba Nobharu was about to get up. Takeda Nobushige and Sone Masayo hurriedly pulled him to prevent him from getting up. He was injured by an arrow and could not get up to say thank you. At least they managed to persuade him to come down. The three chattered for a while and then talked about today's battle situation. Takeda Nobushige  He sighed: "In this battle, we killed more than a thousand people. Kira's army left more than 800 corpses and retreated in a hurry. This battle really killed 800 enemies and suffered a thousand losses!"  " Sone Masayo said with a smile: "Without the timely victory of Nomashiden, it would have been a total defeat. Speaking of which, the Kira Army suffered more. It would be a bad idea to replace him as the vanguard general, but with this Ogasawara Nagaki, I don't want to encounter this.  Ogasawara's long-term pursuit of meritorious deeds ruined Sanada Danmasa's plan. Sanada Danmasa must have been very angry!  " Nobuharu Baba struggled to stand up and lean on the mat, and agreed with a smile: "The main attacker has already lost three points if he failed to win. He exchanged eight hundred for one thousand and lost another three points. Sanada Danzheng can only count this battle.  Win by four points!  "The three people tried their best to encourage and say things in a positive direction. In fact, they knew very well that it was no longer possible to continue this war. The number of soldiers lost was second to none, but the morale they had finally built up would inevitably be lost.  Having lost a lot in the war, the samurai can easily think of the strength of the Kira Legion. It is inevitable to get emotional when seeing their former comrades join the Kira family and fight against them. This makes it even more difficult to fight. The Kumai Castle is already small and dilapidated.  , there was another explosion and fire along the way to the castle tower. The city and the Ninomaru were damaged in many places. It seemed that it could no longer be used. Once the military use of Kumai Castle was completely lost, the more than 12,000 troops would be equal to  There is nothing wrong with setting up a camp on the mountain to attack Chikuma County. In the past, Ogasawara chose to set up camp here to invade Suwa.?? County, but this requires a major premise, that is, the attacking party must determine its own advantage before it can be carried out. Otherwise, it will be like Ogasawara who relaxed his vigilance for a long time but was beaten by the Takeda army and lost his armor.  Lincheng was burned down.  The Takeda family's 13,000 troops faced off against the Kira Army, which was supported by the Shinano Army's 17,000 troops. They were at a relative disadvantage in terms of military strength. Although this battle was won with difficulty due to Takeda Nobushige's excellent command and Ogasawara's faulty performance.  Come down, but the loss of one thousand for eight hundred is still greater for the Takeda Army.  After all, the Takeda Army has fewer troops. The crisis situation of the Kai Takeda clan is that its military strength has been severely weakened, so that the territory in the rear is unguarded, and the territory they have gained over many years of hard work has been handed over to the Kira family. In comparison, the Takeda family has no capital.  Playing this trick of exchanging lives to gain an advantage, not to mention the fact that Kai Fei's remaining wealth is all elite soldiers, exchanging 1,000 elite soldiers for 800 newly trained miscellaneous soldiers cannot be considered a draw no matter how you look at it.  If Yukitaka Sanada wins by four points.  Takeda Nobushige was defeated by more than six points.  This is very clear to both Takeda Nobushige and Baba Nobharu and Sone Masayo present here.  The Takeda Army can only win but not lose in this operation. Even a small defeat will be a loss.  In the Akagi Castle Castle, the same three generals sat together to discuss the gains and losses of this war. Yukitaka Sanada said seriously: "This battle exposed the disadvantages of the Shinano Army. The quality of the soldiers was too poor and they could not cooperate with each other well. The generals of each reserve team  There is a huge gap in the understanding and execution of tactics, and I am going to criticize Ogasawara Shinano Mamoru's aggressive behavior here, because Shinano Mamoru was eager for revenge but trapped the main force along the way and failed. Please learn from Shinano Mamoru.  Don't make mistakes like this again. In fact, this is also my fault. The Lord ordered me to be the leader of Shinano and take on the responsibility of attacking Zhongnan Shinano. The two of them should actively cooperate, because the momentary negligence of this general is also responsible.  He is responsible for the failure of this war. Therefore, we would like to ask the Lord to confiscate half a year's salary. We also propose to confiscate the salary of Ogasawara Shinano for one year and not be allowed to move to the left for three years. I don't know the wishes of Ogasawara Shinano.  "How?" "Yes! I'm willing to accept the punishment! I'm sorry for causing so much trouble to Tanzhoden and Habayashi!" Ogasawara bowed his head in shame.  Murakami Yoshikiyo on the side looked disgusted. Who would have thought that the dignified former guardian of Shinano would bow down to two lords of Shinano country because of a momentary mistake? ??????????? Sanada Yukitaka took on the arrogance of the old man of the Shodai family and criticized them a few words, but it was hard for them to say anything.  The biggest reason was that Ogasawara Nagatoki himself failed to live up to expectations. When he saw his enemy being extremely jealous, he rushed in with his own superior force to fight. However, he should never have neglected the important factor of the terrain. The three thousand defenders in the city were added to it.  There were five thousand defenders outside the upper city, and the whole city was packed to the brim. How could we fight with so many people?  Is it justified if he is undefeated?  It is reasonable and even more appropriate to criticize him. This is not to teach children to praise more rather than criticize more. They are veterans who have experienced many trials and hardships and still make such stupid mistakes. It is unreasonable not to criticize him. From now on  Everyone follows suit and makes mistakes without being punished, and the laws of the Ashikaga family become useless.  In fact, Yukitaka Sanada was also consciously protecting him, but he couldn't say it too clearly or do it clearly. Yukitaka Sanada reprimanded him as the family elder, and then reported it to Kasugayama Castle in the form of an official document. With him,  The Kanadai family elders have dealt with it once, and Kira Yoshitoki will definitely not deal with it a second time. This can easily allow Ogasawara Nagasaki to escape.  Ogasawara Nagatoki was obviously aware of this meaning and cast a grateful look at Sanada Yukitaka. Speaking of which, a long-standing general like him had experienced many battles in Kawanakajima, had made many achievements, and had a distinguished status.  He was much better than the ordinary lords of the country, and he shouldn't have made such a stupid mistake no matter what he thought. But this is what happened. Seeing Takeda Nobushige standing on the castle tower commanding Ruading, Ogasawara Nagakaku immediately became excited and his head felt hot.  He rushed in with his head down, and then lost in a daze.  Now that I think about it, Ogasawara feels ashamed and regretful for this. This level is simply clumsy. Only a third-rate military commander can do such a stupid thing. A slightly higher-level Chinese lord will not make such a mistake easily. A peaceful person like him  People who have fought against Takeda Shingen several times should not do stupid things. It can only be said that the power of hatred is so powerful that it makes him confused.  But he couldn't say that he was too stupid. He had to explain how he made the mistake, so he said: "In fact, I have always been jealous not only because my enemies meet each other, but also because I am greedy for success. When I saw  Takeda Norigu thought it was an opportunity to fight, but no matter how hard he fought, he couldn't get into the castle tower. After a long delay, the army became impatient and blocked many of the warriors who rushed into the Honmaru. However, Takeda Norimu suddenly sent out the Hatamoto samurai to rush out.  I rushed into the main formation and almost got in front of me. The tight formation was suddenly broken up, and I had no choice but to retreat slightly., but I didn¡¯t expect the Takeda army to pursue and attack the main formation, which was determined to stay down, and the retreat turned into a rout I¡¯m sorry!  " "That being said, the defeat of Shinano's guardian is understandable" Murakami Yoshikiyo frowned and asked, "It seems that Takeda Norimu really cannot be underestimated!"  How much does Tanshoden know about Takeda Nomiya?  " Sanada Yukitaka recalled for a while, and then slowly said: "Takeda Nomashi Hall?  I, Yukitaka, don¡¯t know much about Takeda Noriya. I only know that he is low-key and gentle and friendly to others. Whether he is a commoner or a samurai, he never puts on airs. His military strategy is not inferior to Takeda Daisen at all, but he lacks the military skills of Takeda Daisen.  He has ruthless tactics and doesn't like to use strategies to win, so he is a model samurai who adheres to tradition!  ¡± In fact, he and Takeda Nobushige still have some contacts, and they have got along well with each other several times in military cooperation. They gradually accumulated some friendship as colleagues, but they are limited to their respective identities and must not be too close. After all, Takeda Nobushige is a sensitive person in the Takeda family.  Being appointed as a deputy general by Takeda Shingen, his true military strategy has only been slightly demonstrated in recent years. Perhaps it is because Takeda Nobuhige is not very lucky. Every time he uses his opponent, he encounters the main force of the Kira Legion.  Extraordinary abilities can only bring some achievements that are not glorious. Over time, people will inevitably feel contempt. In fact, this is not the case. Just like Sanada Yukitaka also repeatedly failed when he encountered the Kira family. The expression of means and abilities depends on  Whoever the opponent is, choosing an opponent who is far stronger than oneself in all aspects is destined to be a clumsy performance. Just like Ogasawara Nagatoki, who is famous for his bravery, he is very high among the first-class generals in terms of military strategy.  At this level, even Murakami Yoshikiyo would not dare to say that he could take advantage of him. Unfortunately, the enemy Ogasawara Nagato encountered was either Takeda Shingen or Takeda Nobushige, and the quality of his own troops was inferior to the opponent.  If you do anything less than perfect, you will be defeated. None of the three generals here are good at it. In terms of military strategy, they are at the top level of Shinano, and they are definitely first-rate in other states.  In terms of level, the combination of three people is even better than the combination of many daimyo who are proud of. For example, the combination of Taihara Yukisai, Asahina Taino, and Okabe Motobu is not necessarily better than the combination of the three of them when they meet Takeda.  The top combination of Takeda Nobushige, Baba Nobharu and Sone Masayo is only slightly worse than them. The competition between the two sides has a relatively high level of luck. It is unlikely that the situation will collapse due to an accident. The changes in the battle formation are so strange.  , sometimes the level gap between the two sides is huge, and it may be a situation where they lose money and break up at the first touch. If the two are evenly matched, it will become another situation, either the stalemate will not produce any results in the end, or it will be an extremely tragic fight.  Realizing that there was a huge difference in their ideological coordination and the quality of their soldiers, the three generals immediately decided to continue the strategy. As the saying goes, sharpening the sword does not waste time cutting firewood, forging iron requires oneself to be strong, and one's own disadvantages cannot be made up for in time.  , if you push all the way to Suwa County like this, you will probably suffer another heavy blow in Suwa County. By then, the advantage of favorable location and people will be transferred from the Kira family to the Takeda family, and you will not be able to retreat calmly if you want to.  So easy. The Shinano Army did not intend to move again. The Takeda Army did not dare to continue fighting because of its huge disadvantage and fear of Yukitaka Sanada. The Takeda Army persisted for three days in fear outside the damaged Kumai Castle. Waiting for Nobuharu Baba  When they were able to go to the ground, they hurriedly burned Xiongjing Castle and led their troops to retreat. They built a strong and wide Gangya North Castle on the Shengxian Pass adjacent to the Shiojiri Pass, and placed 8,000 troops in the city to defend Su at the foot of the mountain.  After visiting the basin, Yukitaka Sanada also rushed to rebuild Kumai Castle. The newly built Kumai Castle was divided into two cities, the north and the south. The two cities were two kilometers apart, more than double the previous size. Five thousand troops were stationed in the two cities.  No problem at all.  Sanada Yukitaka left more than 8,000 troops of Ogasawara Nagatoki in Kumai Castle temporarily as a left-behind general. He led the remaining 9,000 troops back to Fukashi Castle to continue reorganization. This time they learned their lesson and no longer assigned local people to defend the city. I put  Once the main army is sent over, you don't dare to harass us again, right?  If you still come, you can't blame Yukitaka Sanada for being rude.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
