Three River Butterfly Chapter 502 Three States Chaos

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Anhara Zhongyin is quite self-aware. He knows very well that he does not have the ability and skill of his uncle Taiyuan Xuezhai, and the rewards he relies on are so unfair in the eyes of other family members. He walked towards the position of general amid huge criticism.  The location inevitably carries a heavy psychological burden. The Satao Pass is close to the sea and is also known as a dangerous mountain pass that is comparable to the one you don¡¯t know about your children. It has always been called the three most difficult places on the Tokaido Road.  As a local indigenous warrior, Anhara Tadayin could still tell where it would be more effective to attack the Takeda Army. This place was chosen just on the path that the Takeda Army must pass through, so it took a lot of thought to arrange it. From the surface,  It seems that setting up this formation here is a plan to lure the Takeda Army into Suruga Kingdom and give it a severe blow, but in fact this is Suruga's last line of defense.  Anhara Tadayin's idea is still based on the old routine, which is a head-to-head battle between horses and horses. The Imagawa family relies on the convenient location and the morale of the guardian family is higher. If the Takeda army dares to rush over, they will give it a head-on blow.  Even if they can't defeat Takeda's army, they can always rely on Sadao Pass to defend to the death. If they continue to wear it out, Takeda Shingen will be forced to retreat one day.  But he didn't understand one thing. The war was far from being as simple as he imagined. This was no longer the case in the Genpei-Kamakura era when the two sides squared off and played a cavalry battle. The victor's morale was greatly boosted and the entire army launched an assault to seal the victory in one fell swoop.  With the continuous progress of martial arts society, new tactical systems were gradually enriched. In marching and fighting, success or failure was no longer judged based on individual martial prowess, but rather on military strategy, strategy, and the skills of the emperor.  The main force of Anwara Tadayin was guarding Satoh Pass, while Ogurauchi Shisaki and Okabe Chubei Naokuki were responsible for the defense of Hachimanping in the north of Satoh Pass. As the governor of the family, Imagawa Ujizhenya also went out with the army.  It's just that he, who is addicted to pleasure, really can't stand the smelly military camp where a group of men live together in the military.  He chose to locate his main formation at Qingmi Temple not far from Satao Pass.  Ichikawa is very good at the military.  In addition to the 15,000-strong army led by Anhara Tadayin, this time he also moved his 3,000-strong main formation to Kiyomiji Temple. These were the elite confidants left to him by his father, and he was reluctant to use them at ordinary times.  It won't work if I don't take it out now.  When discussing with his confidants, Imagawa Shima said: "The Takeda army has 16,000, and my family has 18,000. Judging from the strength of the troops, our army seems to be larger than the Takeda army! Even if we cannot defeat Takeda  The army can definitely keep them out of Suruga Country! I hope that Anfang Mamoru will not disappoint the family's expectations." In the face of a family governor who lacks military knowledge, I hope he will be able to protect the Imagawa family.  It seems a bit nonsense to be able to boost morale before the battle. When Takeda Shingen mobilized 16,000 troops to attack Satao Pass early the next morning, Imagawa was still immersed in a wonderful sleep and did not wake up.  Come on, this pampered young man did not sleep well last night in an unfamiliar room. He needs to sleep a little longer now to catch up on his beauty sleep.  Takeda Shingen personally led the army out of the battle, but Anhara Tadayin was greatly frightened. He quickly ordered the generals of each formation to be more vigilant and guard against death. They must not be careless and mess up the formation. The Takeda army on the opposite side did not seem to put the Imagawa army on the Sato Pass at all.  In his eyes, even though there were 15,000 troops on the opposite side, there was no intention of adjusting, so he ordered the four leaders of the Baba Civil Affairs Bureau, Nobuharu, Naito, Ryo Masayo, Akiyama Hokushou, and Saegashi, led by Zaemon Weishou.  Array.  Heading straight to Satao Pass to attack.  The first round of fighting between the two sides started with the blind firing of the iron artillery team, and the ping-ping-pong-ping iron artillery rumbled non-stop.  The four seemingly unrelated vanguard formations actually echoed each other, and each round of volleys was aimed at a point of concentrated fire from the Imagawa Army's vanguard formation. Although the effect was not very impressive, it was still better than nothing.  Anhara Tadayin didn't have such high-end and high-end iron cannon tactics. He just allowed the iron cannon ashigaru from each reserve team to get together and shoot out the lead bullets. It seemed that he was not shooting with iron cannons but just using this thing.  Play a loud noise to boost the morale of your own side. The end of an iron cannon fire that has far greater symbolic meaning than actual effect means that the real battle has begun.  The samurai from both sides lined up neatly in three gun squads to confront each other. The slow pace of the attack lasted for the entire morning. This war of attrition, which had no fancy and almost no losses, was very boring. It wasn't until Imagawa finally woke up and had lunch that he received the order.  The offensive of both sides has slowed down, and it seems that they are preparing to retreat and have lunch before continuing the battle.  But at this time, a very strange thing happened. The four generals of the Imagawa Army, Sena Nobuteru, Asahina Nobuyuki, Miura Yoshikage, and Katsurayama Ujimoto, suddenly broke away from the retreat sequence without permission and began to retreat in large strides.  Behind these four people were seventeen generals who also retreated quickly. The retreating Takeda family suddenly turned around and came back to fight, which shocked Anhara Tadayin.  Anhara Tadayin ordered the front line to withstand the Takeda army's attack, and hurriedly issued an order: "QuicklyI know that several generals have stopped retreating!  The Takeda army is back to kill them again!  " But his general order seemed to be thrown into the water without any reply. These four generals and the remaining ten generals gathered more than 8,000 troops and retreated back with their heads down, without even explaining that they were going to eat.  They did not stop to make corresponding adjustments, which made Anhara Zhongyin begin to doubt their motives. "Where are they retreating to? Why do they listen to the general's orders?"  Is their posture luring the enemy deep and then attacking from both sides, or is it some strange tactic?  But why have I never heard them mention this contingency plan? If they continue to retreat like this, they will withdraw from Satao Pass!  ¡± Anhara Tadayin was so worried that he was sweating profusely. Originally, these 15,000 troops had suffered a big loss when they resisted the Takeda Army¡¯s 16,000 troops. If they let these people take away the 8,000 troops, they would not expect it.  How long these seven thousand people can hold on is still a serious problem. He suddenly feels that fighting for this general seems to be a trap for him. He does not have enough prestige to support the next general, which is simply asking for trouble.  The envoys sent out returned one day without bringing any accurate recovery. Seeing that these people were really going to withdraw from Satao Pass, Anhara Zhongyin finally realized that he had been fooled and said angrily: "The general said that their actions were weird.  Judging from the direction of their retreat, they seemed to be going to the Lord!  Are they going for the lord?  These traitors!  I, Zhongyin, will never let you go!  ¡± The samurai of the Imagawa Army panicked. Anwara Anfang Mamochu Tadayin had no intention of continuing to fight. He immediately ordered the entire army to retreat to protect the main formation of Kiyomiji Temple to protect Imagawa Clan. The retreat of the Imagawa Army seemed to be entirely due to the Takeda Army.  Unexpectedly, Takeda Shingen ordered these four formations to continue to be the vanguard to bite the tail of the Imagawa army and continue to pursue them all the way to the outside of Sunfu Castle. The Imagawa family just learned about it.  Twenty-one powerful family members, including Nobuteru Sena, Nobuyuki Asahina, Yoshikage Miura, and Gen Katsurayama, all defected to the Takeda family. This betrayal also brought together eight thousand elite troops.  It was really a great gift to the Takeda Army. Imagawa almost fainted from anger when he heard the news. In the evening, there was a rumor from the townspeople walking on the street that it was the four generals of the Takeda Army.  Appeared in Ubahara near Sunfu Castle. This news caused the Imagawa family to be shaken. The Imagawa clan quickly held a military meeting to discuss countermeasures. At the same time, another bad news came from Toe, Matsudaira of Mikawa.  Ieyasu seemed to smell some blood, so he took advantage of the massive invasion of the Takeda Army to immediately gather 6,000 troops and gathered them in the Yoshida area of ??Mikawa Province near the border of Toe Country. It seemed that there was a chance that Imagawa Ie's illness could kill him.  Another bad news also came from the Toe Kingdom, Mifu Castle was in the Banhori Koshi Rokuro clan, the lord of Hikima Castle (Hikima Castle) Iio Yuzen Ryu, and the lord of Inui Castle Amanoguchiemon Kage.  A large number of people from the Toe country, such as Kan and Sasamine Castle's lord Amano An Yun guarding Hujing, as well as the Ii clan whose family governor was killed, rebelled. It seems that this should be one of Takeda Shingen's strategies. The Imagawa clan was really panicked.  He couldn't even speak. You can imagine how confused this generation of family members would be if he hadn't invited his old and frail grandmother Imagawa Jugini to calm down the situation.  None of them could be convened smoothly. Even so, Okabe Mino Morimasa Tsuna of the Peace Party said: "Mikawa has rebelled against Toe, and now that Suruga Country is under attack by the Takeda Army, we can rely on Hojo.  Sagami-den is facing the invasion of Kira's army and cannot escape. It seems that we have no escape route. The only solution for now is to sue for peace with Takeda Daisen-den in exchange for a decent status!  I think that the marriage relationship between the Suruga Imagawa clan and the Kai Takeda clan should not lead to my death.  " Mamoru Masazumi Ideba was obviously a militant. He objected fiercely: "I have never heard that my home was attacked by bandits. Instead of raising the sword and gun in my hand, I took the initiative to ask for peace from the bandits. Today, my Imagawa family  Although we are embarrassed and helpless, this does not mean that my Imagawa family has no chance of winning. As long as we endure the temporary embarrassment and take the initiative to send a letter of request for help to the town lord who is besieging Sagami, I think the town guild will give it for the sake of the same clan.  With some preferential treatment, Hojo Sagami Mamoru's reinforcements were allowed to enter Suruga to fight.  " This was an idealist's words that fit the Imagawa clan's true taste, so he immediately agreed with Yui Masazumi's opinion. This made some of the Lords and samurai warriors very disappointed. That night, many Lords  The Japanese warriors left Sunfu and fell into the arms of the Takeda Army outside the city. The warriors who still stood in the city also faced tremendous psychological pressure. As soon as it dawned the next morning, the main formation of the Takeda Army in Ubahara had changed from its original position.  Sixteen thousand people swelled to more than 26,000. These more than 10,000 people were naturally the Imagawa clan's friendly contribution, and the many samurai of the Takeda Army.He was so excited that he almost stayed up all night. No one thought that this Imagawa family member would be a paper strong man.  It just collapsed like this with just a light touch. This action is not even a warm-up exercise for the Takeda Army. The fierce battle of Kawanakajima is enough to completely destroy this small battle for more than 18 streets.  In just a few days, a small-scale low-intensity battle swallowed up half of Suruga. This speed was even faster than the Kira army's actions in Musashi country.  The cost of expansion is too low, which makes the Takeda army uncontrollably develop greater ambitions. If they swallow Suruga and Toga in one gulp, and then wait for an opportunity to invade Mikawa, they can easily complete a breakout, and then completely get rid of the Kira family's strong stranglehold on Kaiguo.  , this idea is not only thought by the Takeda retainers, but Takeda Shingen himself also has some ambitions to dominate Tš­kaido.  Takeda Shingen did not intend to give Imagawa clan more time to think about life choices. He ordered Takeda Nobushige to lead a force of 5,000 troops to attack Anwara Anfang's 7,000 defenders. After the ugly battle at Satao Pass,  The verification is enough for the Takeda Army to have a full understanding of the level of the Imagawa Army. Sending Takeda Nobushige's 5,000 elites to deal with the 7,000 panicked defenders is already a very prudent response. Under normal circumstances, sending thousands of Japanese soldiers  They can be dealt with by the army or even the Suruga sect members in Go Castle.  Takeda Nobushige didn't mind pulling his son out for training at this time. Five thousand troops launched an attack one after another and defeated the Anhara army who had no fighting spirit as soon as they engaged. The Imagawa army's weak will to fight was greatly exposed.  Contrary to everyone's expectations, there were signs of retreat to varying degrees almost at the moment of the battle. From the beginning to the end, no warrior took the initiative to fight. If the warriors didn't charge, how could we expect the peasants and soldiers to charge?  When the peasants and soldiers saw that the situation was not good, they immediately turned around and fled back to Sunfu Castle.  The Assassin's Castle Town of Sunfu was also in chaos. The samurai ashigaru who were preparing to flee back to the city and the townspeople who were preparing to flee were crowded together. The samurai and ashigaru wanted to escape inside for refuge, while the townspeople were escaping toward the outside. Both sides were crowded and unwilling.  It is completely outrageous to let the other party cause the entire Sunfu City to be in chaos. The ministers, monks and cultural figures who have stayed in Sunfu City all year round were so frightened that they hid in their houses and pretended that they did not exist. The beautifully dressed young women did not dare to go out.  The social order has almost collapsed.  Yuhi Masazumi, who was promoted to the clan elder last night, hurriedly suggested: "My lord! Takeda Shingen's army is about to enter the city. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time! I would like to ask my lord to move to other cities immediately. In any case, this  We can never stay in Sunfu Castle any longer!" Imagawa fully understood the danger he was facing, and he could no longer think of fighting to the death or committing seppuku. In despair, he suddenly remembered his wise and mighty spirit.  His father died tragically, and his two good brothers-in-law, Kira Yoshiyasu and Takeda Yoshinobu, were killed by thieves. He also thought about the two hateful faces of Matsudaira Ieyasu and Takeda Shingen. What would they do if they caught him?  To humiliate.  At this critical moment, Imagawa finally showed some abilities as a family governor, and suddenly remembered that his sworn brother Asahina Yatotomo was the only trustworthy minister. Asahina Yasutomo's mother was Imagawa Jugini's biological niece, who happened to be  We have a very close kinship relationship with the Imagawa clan, and it¡¯s completely okay to even call her Miyuki.  Shun Enzo fell into chaos at the same time, forcing the Imagawa family to a dead end and pushing the Imagawa clan to the cliff. Thinking of his fate to become the governor of the subjugated country, the Imagawa clan hurriedly said: "Retreat to Kakegawa Castle, only Asahinabei  Zhongshou is the general that our family can rely on!"
