"Time is running out." Takeda Shingen glanced at the sun that was gradually sliding towards the west, and gently tapped the palm of his hand with his hand, "I really don't want to be dragged into this basin to fight."
"But the ending is the same, it just takes some time." Takeda Shingen shook his head, briefly glanced at the battle situation in the basin, then slowly straightened his arm and pointed at Yuqiubing Maple Bird a few hundred meters away.
The high ground where the horse seal is located, "The ribs of this chess game are that high ground. Meinong, go and get that high ground for me."
"Yes, my lord." Nobuharu Nobuharu Nobuharu nodded and was about to turn around and leave, "Then let's fight."
"Wait a minute." After Takeda Shingen pondered for a moment, he called out to Baba Nobuharu.
"Lord, what else can I do?" Baba Nobuharu turned his head and asked in a low voice with a somewhat impatient tone.
Takeda Shingen had long been accustomed to Baba Nobuharu's directness and rudeness, so he didn't care too much. He just laughed twice and continued to order, "Nobuharu, take 500 people from my jurisdiction to the west. Follow the road Nobuharu used to cross the river before.
Cross the Kaizan River, find a place upstream of the Nishi-Kanda River, fill sacks with soil, and prepare to block the Nishi-Kanda River. Before the Nishi-Kanda River joins the Kitayama River and the Kaizan River, the river channel is very narrow, so it is not difficult to block it.
.When the frontal battlefield attack is successful and Yuqiu Hongye starts to move the formation, you start to block the river. When the water flow becomes shallow, cross the river with Nobumo and attack Yudong Temple."
"My lord, isn't he going to attack that high ground?" Takeda Nobuntoyo was stunned when he heard this, "Why do you want me to go northwest?"
"It's just a feint attack, to contain some of Yuqiu Momiji's troops." Takeda Shingen nodded slightly, explaining it to Takeda Nobutoyo, and also to Baba Nobuharu, "Mino, I will allocate 500 people from my headquarters to
You, you use 1,500 soldiers to cooperate with Yuan to assist Shan."
"Together the 1,000 people of Your Highness and His Highness Kosaka, a total of 2,500 people are fighting 400 people?" Nobuharu Baba heard this and was slightly dissatisfied, "My lord, are you looking down on Your Highness and His Highness Kosaka?"
"No, this is to see the autumn leaves of rain." Takeda Shingen shook his head when he heard this, "Although he has no vision, his reinforcements are probably coming soon. If we can't capture this high ground, the battle will not end before dark. Don't underestimate the enemy, rain
Qiu Hongye’s defensive skills are quite impressive.”
"I will ask my lord to take back that compliment." Nobuharu Baba excused himself in a sarcastic tone, causing Takeda Shingen to laugh a few times.
·
At three o'clock in the morning, Takeda Nobuto led more than 500 people straight to the front line of the West Kanda River. Yu Qiuping suddenly became vigilant and began to observe the movements of this unit. At this time, Ming Dybei had arrived at the north bank of the Nishi Kanda River and was about to go to Yu Qiuping.
The high ground where Qiuping Ma Yin is located.
"Is it a feint attack? Or are you being a vanguard, trying to open a breakthrough in the Yudong Temple area on the flank?" Yu Qiuping's eyes switched back and forth between Takeda Nobutoyo's troops and the 2,500 soldiers under the horse seal of Fenglin Volcano on the hillside.
"Are you going to send someone to keep an eye on this unit?"
Ame Qiupei once again turned his attention to the west side. Guarding the entrance to Kamikachi-Ona was the third company of Tokiwa Bei, with Fukushima Yasunari personally supervising the formation. And the man stationed at Yudou Temple behind was Yoshioka Katsumasa.
, that guy whose brain gets hot easily.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiuping couldn't help but worry. Yoshioka Shengzheng has a strong offensive talent, so he especially likes to attack and is often very aggressive when making decisions. Even in defense, he always wants to rely on surprise attacks and counterattacks.
Completed - Back then, he and Charlie had a big quarrel over strategic differences on how to defend, and almost lost a company of troops. Yu Qiuping was always a little worried about letting him guard the flank.
If the commander at Yudouji Temple was a type like Ogawa Yutō or Mizuharu Atonsune, Yu Qiupei wouldn't be worried. 400 Yu Qiu army soldiers defended according to the danger, even Oyamada Nobushige and Takeda Nobuoka
The 1,000 soldiers who had risen up could not be captured in a hurry. But the one left behind at the moment was Yoshioka Shengzheng, and Yu Qiuping was really afraid that his irrational attack would ruin the good situation.
"Transfer the second company of Ming Dy Bei, that is, Ogawa Yutō's company, and stick to the front line of Yudong Temple together with Shengzheng." Yu Qiuping issued an order to the flag bearer, and transferred Ming Dy Bei, the oldest and highest-ranking company, and Ji.
Ogawa Yutong, who had the best relationship with Gang Shengzheng, was sent over, "Tell them to hold on to the position and not to waste the battle." If the company sent over was the company of Xin Xian Chengliang or Yuan Chang Lai, Yu Qiuping would be really afraid of them.
Unable to dissuade Yoshioka Katsumasa, Yoshioka Katsumasa led the attack together. Because Yoshioka Katsumasa was now the colonel company commander, while Shinsaki Nariyo and former commander Yori were both major company commanders. In the absence of organizational affiliation,
(For example, the direct superior-subordinate relationship between Fukushima Yasunari-Mizu Atomsuke), those with lower military ranks must obey the command of those with higher military ranks.
"Let Thompson bring the remaining two companies of Mingdi Bei to my horse imprint." Yu Qiuping sighed and looked at the battle situation. Due to his strategic mistakes, each unit could only come in batches, so that his own
The three reserve teams were dismantled in a mess, and the command system also encountered a lot of trouble.
Almost at the same time that Naruhei rushed to the high ground, the 2,500 soldiers of the Takeda Army suddenly moved. Takeda Shingen left a reserve of 1,000 soldiers on his hands, and the remaining 1,500 soldiers were led by Nobuharu Baba.
Heading straight towards the high ground on the west bank of the Kakita River - where the Uakihira horse stamps are located.
"Here we come, it's really an attack from the back." Yu Qiuping slapped his thigh angrily, "Have Youdong come back immediately, and at the same time send an order to Shengzheng, ordering him to hold on to Yudong Temple and not send troops to counterattack under any circumstances! He is not allowed to leave Yudong.
One step to the cave temple!”
·
Due to the lack of a company, Yu Qiuping's defense on the highlands was somewhat stretched. On the one hand, he waved the flag and notified Senju Ounari's artillery to instead shell the Nobuharu headquarters at Baba, hindering their marching speed. On the other hand, he let the new
The two companies of Kianari Ryo and Hara Nagayori immediately entered the position and lined up with Hosoragi Bei's 1st company Kitahata Kage's company to guard the slopes of the mountain.
The bombardment of two three-pounders slowed down the advance of Nobuharu's troops at Baba to a certain extent, and gave time for Shinaki Naraki and Hara Nagayori to enter the position and get ready. However, it relieved the pressure on Kosaka Masanobu. He was harassed.
After a long time, they realized that the shelling against them had stopped, and they immediately began to attack the first company of Hosoragi Bei in front of them.
2,500 Takeda Army soldiers are besieging 1,200 Ameqiu Army soldiers. The strength gap is more than 2:1. And Baba Nobharu and Kosaka Masanobu are not inexperienced and stupid like Takeda Katsuyori. They are both battle-hardened.
The senior generals, whose command level was much higher than that of the samurai of the Uakiu Army, gradually took control of the situation. Even though Omaezaki Nakahide on the east bank of the Kakita River was doing his best to provide fire support with iron cannons and artillery, it did not help.
.
Yu Qiuping anxiously waited for Ogawa Yudong who was turning back to the north. He was secretly angry at his misjudgment just now. If Ogawa Yutong was also on hand, he could have made the defense area of ​​each company smaller just now.
A little, and it can be kept airtight.
But now, as the Takeda Army gradually advances, the Uakiu Army retreats more and more to the top of the high ground, and the defense line gradually becomes compact. However, this also means that there are some gaps on both sides. If this gap further expands, the Takeda Army will
You can go around from both sides of the high ground and surround Yu Qiuping on the high ground. In order to prevent the Takeda army from bypassing both sides, Yu Qiuping sent out the 400 cavalry on hand.
Cover the flanks of the troops and prevent Takeda troops from easily detouring.
"Just hold on a little longer..." Yu Qiuping looked at Ogawa Yudong's troops who were coming quickly, "Once those 400 people arrive, we can stabilize the situation."
However, the moment he turned his head back, he suddenly discovered that the No. 3 Company of Naibei Bei, located in the center of the defense line, suddenly appeared in chaos. Suddenly, many holes were opened in the defense line, and the Takeda Army took the opportunity to attack.
"What's going on?" Yu Qiuping was shocked when he saw this. He led his guards to the front line in person, grabbed an ashigaru from the third company and asked about the situation, "Why is there sudden chaos?"
"Your Highness, Hara-sama has been killed in battle!" The ashigaru who was pulled down told Uakihara Nagari's death with a face full of grief and indignation. "Sir Hara-sama was just supervising the formation in the second row when he was suddenly hit in the face by a stream of arrows. He was instantly hit on the spot.
Died in the line of duty. Deputy Company Commander Kato has taken over his post and continues to command, but it still caused chaos in an instant, and now I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with!"
"What?" Yu Qiuping felt a sudden pain in his heart. This was the first time since the tragic defeat at Yinma Castle that a samurai of the rank of general was killed in Tokiwa Bei. Hara Nagarai, the son of Hara Yorifu, a wealthy Meino family, had been fighting since ten years ago.
They started to deal with each other years ago. Yu Qiuping initially kidnapped Hara Nagarai and several other young men and demanded ransom from their father. Later, after the four small wealthy families surrendered to Yu Qiuping, Hara Nagarai and Kato
Guangtai and other young men joined the Yuqiu Army, followed Yuqiuping in the north and south, and made many meritorious deeds. Because of their merits, Hara Nagarai was promoted to major company commander. After drinking on weekdays, Hara Nagarai often talked with him.
Yu Qiuping joked and talked about the time when Yu Qiuping was detained in Kuroda City and the sky was filled with demands for ransom, and they laughed together.
In an instant, the young man was no longer alive.
However, there is no chance for Yu Qiuping to feel sentimental at the moment. The accidental death of Hara Nagarai caused a rupture in the defense line of the third company of Ming Dybei. If it were an ordinary army and General Shi was killed, the army would have collapsed. Yu Qiu's army relies on Yan Ming
He only managed to persist in the discipline and rank succession command system. However, Nobuharu on the opposite side of the road was not a fuel-efficient lamp. After discovering the fighter plane, he immediately led the banner to attack the third company's position. In a short period of time, he had already defeated the Yuqiu Army's defense line.
It was dented deeply.
Yu Qiupei looked back and glanced at Ogawa Yutō's troops - he had just arrived at Ueuna Village, Mikamachi Town, and was rushing towards the gap between the two woods. It was probably too late.
"It's all my mistake..." Yu Qiuping held his forehead deeply in frustration. Just because he had been deceived by Takeda Shingen's feint just now, the precious 400 people were running back and forth in vain at the most intense moment of the highland competition.
They did not participate in the battle. The frontal battle line could no longer be maintained. If they continued to hold on, once the front line broke, these three companies would be at risk of being outflanked and annihilated.
"We have no choice but to retreat and give up this key high ground." Yu Qiuping gritted his teeth, silently reciting the teachings of Imagawa Yoshimoto in his heart, "Those who can't give up anything can't save anything. At this moment, we must
We must abandon this high ground decisively."
However, the entire defense line of Yu Qiupei's army was affected by one move. Once this high ground was lost, it would take a lot of time for Yu Qiupei to re-establish the formation and restore the communication system with various troops. And the loss of the high ground on the west bank of the Kakita River also
The 2nd and 3rd companies of Hosoragi Bei, marking the east bank of the Kakita River, will lose their flank cover and run the risk of being outflanked. And even if Akihira Amame wants to lead his army back to Ueuna, Mikaka Town, he will still be unable to do so because of the two woods.
The gap between them was too narrow and the road traffic volume was poor. It was impossible to allow more than 1,500 people to retreat at the same time, causing congestion and chaos.
