In less than five seconds, the 2nd company of Jobanbei evacuated from the hillside. Unable to carry the bodies, Mizuto Atomic had to hastily remove the paper red leaves from the tops of everyone's helmets and then ordered the retreat.
At this time, Amakihei marched all the way and led Hosoragi Bei across the Nishi Kanda River. In order to take the shortest route, they marched in a straight line close to Hamana Lake. Therefore, when crossing the Nishi Kanda River
, divided into two groups by the mouth of the Mitsuga River where the Kakita River and Nishi Kanda River intersect. On the west bank of the Kakita River are Ame Akihira's headquarters and the 1st Company of Hosoragi Bei, and on the east bank of the Kakita River are the 2nd Company, 3rd Company of Hosanagi Bei and
Flag of Omaezaki Nakahide.
At this time, Kosaka Masanobu and Naito Masatoyo, one on the left and the other on the right, crossed the southern mountains. Both armies each had about 1,000 soldiers. After crossing the mountains, they immediately pursued the retreating Tsukiwa Beidi.
The second company came. After Ame Qiupei noticed the movements of Kosaka Masanobu and Naito Masayo, he rejected Omaezaki Nakahide's request to unite Hosoragi Bei and move south. Instead, he immediately ordered Hosoragi Bei to be divided into two groups and go straight to the south.
Go south and connect with the water atom meridian.
The second and third companies of Hosoragi Bei moved south along the east bank of the Kakita River. The first company of Hosayagi Bei moved south along the west bank of the Kakita River. Amakihei himself temporarily set up his headquarters in the Kakita River.
West Bank - The high ground between the two woods southeast of Mikamachi Ueuna is also the most important highland in the entire Mikamachi Plain. It not only blocks the entry from the gap between the two woods in the southeast to Mikamachi Ue
At the intersection of Nana, it overlooks the Kakita River and Nishi-Kanda River, and has the best view.
Hosoragi Bei's 1st Company was deployed in front of this high ground by Amakihei, and after sparing Tsukiwabei's 2nd Company, prepared to attack Kosaka Masanobu's troops. Hosoyanagi Bei's 2nd Company and 3rd Company were led by Omaezaki Naka.
Commander Hide, faced Naito Masayo's troops on the east bank of the Kakita River.
On the west bank, Yu Qiupei had to rely on 400 soldiers to resist Kosaka Masanobu's 1,000 soldiers, which was a lot of pressure. On the east bank, Omaezaki Nakahide used 800 soldiers to resist Naito Masayo's 1,000 soldiers, and the pressure was a little less. However, due to the
The Kakita River basin is densely covered with water, and there are many tidal flats and swamps. In addition, it is surrounded by woods and mountains, so the cavalry of the Takeda Army cannot use it.
Yu Qiuping ordered the iron gunners of Hoshiryu Bei to cross across the river bank to provide fire support. Due to the flat firing arc of the iron cannon, it could not cross over its own soldiers to attack the enemy. However, since Hoshiryu Bei was now divided into two parts,
One is on the west side of the Kakita River, and the other is on the east side of the Kakita River. Therefore, the iron artillerymen located behind the soldiers on the east side can shoot diagonally across the Kakita River and aim at Takasaka Masanobu's troops on the west bank. The iron artillerymen on the west bank can reciprocate.
, shooting at the flank of Naito Masayo's troops across the Kakita River. The two troops formed cross fire and covered each other - this is why Ame Qiupei ordered the troops to be divided.
"It's very tricky." Naito Masatoyo was annoyed by the continuous fire from the iron cannon. In fact, from such a long distance, it was still shooting diagonally at a very small angle. A single salvo might only kill less than five people.
However, this kept the men on the front line distracted, so that the front line was unable to achieve a breakthrough.
"That banner team is really in the way!" Naito Masatoyo became angrier as he thought about it, and couldn't help but cursed fiercely. "They blocked our army for an hour and had to fight in this damn narrow terrain. What if?
We started fighting on the plains in three days, and in less than an hour, Ieyasu Yuqiu was beaten into Tokugawa Ieyasu."
At seven o'clock, 500 men each from Anayayama Nobujun and Oyamada Nobumoge also crossed the mountains and entered the Mikamachi Basin. Takeda Shingen himself also led the horsemen to the mountains and began to command. Under Takeda Shingen's Under the order, both units headed northwest, directly inserting into the gap between the Waisan River and the woods south of the village of Kamikachi Town, intending to enter Kamikachi Town Kamio through that gap. If Kamikachi Kamiona was captured Occupied, the entire Hosoragi Bei's flank will be exposed. In the village of Kamiona in Mikachi Town, only the 2nd Company of Tokiwa Bei that has lost its combat effectiveness is left, unable to resist at all.
Fortunately, almost at the same time, the remaining two companies of Joban Bei and the cavalry company also arrived in time under the leadership of Fukushima Yasunari and Nobuyuki Anayama. They had already chosen the official road east of Sanri They entered the blocking position and prepared to welcome the arrival of Takeda Akabi, but were suddenly informed that the main force of the Takeda Army was on the southern front, so they hurried back. Under the command of Yu Qiupei, the three companies quickly crossed the river from the bridge on the Nishi-Kanda River and rushed back. Go to Kamikachi Town Kamiona.
Due to the cover of the woods and rivers, and the commanding height of the field of vision - the high ground was controlled by Amakihei, the Takeda army did not discover the approaching Tokiwa Bei and the cavalry company in time. They just wanted to rush on their way and destroy Mikachi Town. Kamio Nai won it.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Nobu-kun Anayama, who was leading the charge, urged his men to kill towards the gap between the woods and the Huaishan River. He couldn't even wait for his men and wanted to lead the cavalry into the village himself. Because Takeda Shingen repeatedly I ordered that the village of Ueuna in Mikachi Town is very important. Like the highland to the southeast, it is the key point of this battle. Either of the two, the Yuqiu army will be defeated. Now that the high ground has been contained by Yuqiupei, then Mikachi The town of Ona is a must-win point.
The road between the woods and the Huaishan River was not wide enough to allow 1,000 Takeda troops to pass through at the same time. Nobu-kun Anayama asked Oyamada Nobu-shige to wait behind him and let him lead his troops to advance. He led his guards and took the lead. After bypassing the woods, a quiet village suddenly came into view. The streets were full of overturned things. It seemed that the residents were very smart. They hid when they found out that there was going to be a war.
However, before Anayama Nobu-kun could take a breath, nearly 800 soldiers came from the other side of the village. The flag was a mountain flag - the same as the 400 soldiers who fought to the death. banner.
Anayama Nobu-kun is also a capable general, and he has always marched forward in previous battles with Takeda Shingen, but this time he suddenly felt a chill. Because his troops are definitely not as elite as Takeda Katsuyori's direct-controlled troops, and their numbers are still small. There are fewer than the opponent. Moreover, the opponent has already deployed their formation in the open space, but half of his people are still crowded between the woods and Huaishan River. If these 800 people are as elite as the 400 people just now, he will definitely lose here. undoubtedly.
Facts have proved that he was right. As soon as the two armies met, his troops were shocked by the gun formation. Nobu-kun Anayama immediately led the cavalry to break away from the infantry position and tried to quickly detour from the tidal flats into the open area to attack Tokiwa. However, the cavalry company of the Yuqiu Army also arrived in time under the leadership of Nobuyuki Anayama.
"Hey, it's the banner of the Anayama family!" Maeda Keiji burst out laughing after seeing the banner of the Takeda Army, patted Nobuyuki Anayama on the shoulder and said, "Sir, maybe this is your family!"
"What family?
?" Nobuhiro Anayama glanced at the opposite side and found that the Takeda family's cavalry was less than 200. He looked at his own 400 cavalry and smiled contemptuously, "I am the main family! Anyone who can't beat me is a branch of the family!"
"Brothers, come on!" Nobuhiro Anesama waved his hand, and the cavalry of the Yuqiu Army rushed towards Nobu-kun Anesama's cavalry. Although Nobu-kun Anesama was also famous for his cavalry, he was on the tidal flats and near the enemy's iron gunners.
Fighting with cavalry twice as large as his own is obviously not a good choice. In desperation, Nobu-kun Ayama was forced to retreat. Before the second foot of the Ayama Army Company set foot in Kamikachi Town Kamiona, Tokiwabei drove him away.
Got out.
"Counterattack on the spot! Let us chase them out!" Maeda Keiji shouted with high morale, while casting his gaze in the direction of Tokiwabei. Fukushima Yasunari was commanding the troops to pursue Nobuyama Anayama in an orderly manner, and at the same time signaled the cavalry company
Stick to the cave mountain army and prevent the latter from retreating easily.
However, before Tokiwabei could start the pursuit, Nobuyuki Ayama suddenly discovered something - not far to the south, a large number of Takeda troops were crowding the Kaishan River, trying to wade across the river from a place where the water was not deep!
After the offensive was blocked, Oyamada Nobushige's troops who were originally following Nobukun Anayama were asked by Takeda Shingen to make a bold move - crossing the Kaisan River from the east bank to the west bank.
"Hurry! What a good opportunity!" Nobuyuki Anayama's eyes suddenly shone. Half of Oyamada Nobumo's soldiers were crossing the river in the water at this moment. They had no fighting ability at all, and the formation of the other half was scattered. If he could rush over at this moment, he could defeat Oyamada Nobumo.
A half-cross attack can defeat this army directly by the river! However, Nobu-kun Anesama also knew the benefits and transferred his cavalry over, constantly harassing and affecting the movements of the Yuqiu army's cavalry. The tidal flats
The horses on the ground could not run fast, and the quality of the Amaki Army cavalry was indeed inferior to that of the Takeda Army cavalry, making it difficult to form a breakthrough. Under the strong cover of Nobu-kun Anayama, Oyamada Nobumo managed to cross the river successfully.
"This is bad." Nobuyuki Anayama, who chased all the way to the shore but could only watch Nobumo Oyamada leave, was furious. As Nobumo Oyamada crossed the Kaisan River, the entire west bank of the Kaisan River was dominated by the Takeda Army. It rained.
If the Akiu Army wants to imitate the Takeda Army in crossing, they will immediately be attacked by Oyamada Nobushige's troops from the west bank. In other words, the Uaqiu Army has lost the opportunity to attack Oyamada Nobushige. If Oyamada Nobushige passes along the Waishan River
Going all the way north from the west bank, crossing the Nishi-Kanda River and the Kitayama River, it will threaten the retreat of Yuqiu's army.
"Katsumasa, please cross the Nishi-Kanda River north immediately, and you must do it before Oyamada Nobushige's troops go north to cross the Nishi-Kanda River!" Upon seeing this, Fukushima Yasunari immediately responded and asked Yoshioka Katsumasa to take his company with him.
Cross the river to the land between the Nishi-Kanda River and the Kitayama River to prevent Oyamada Nobumo's plan to take a detour.
As the Uakiu Army was also forced to divide its forces, the front on the western front of Mikachi Town Ueunai temporarily calmed down. Anayayama Nobujun completed his reorganization after retreating for a while, and he and Tokiwa Bei Suga Koroku's company fought between the Kaishan River and the woods.
Fighting broke out in the narrow passage between Yoshioka Katsumasa. However, Yoshioka Katsumasa successfully crossed north in time and took control of the important ferry on the Nishi-Kanda River before Oyamada Nobumoro crossed the river. Fearing the 150 iron cannons of Yoshioka Katsumasa, Oyamada Nobumoro and Oyamada Nobumo
Not daring to cross the river by force, the two sides confronted each other in the area of ​​Yudong Temple. In order to ensure that he had a reserve team that could maneuver in time, Yu Qiuping transferred the cavalry company back to his hands.
