Behind the huge figure of the Kitengu, there is a more terrifying enemy - Du Fei's captain, the Poke Army, appeared! They attacked the scattered Toubori Ninja Army without any reason, and they were originally attacked by those black vicious dogs.
How could the ninja army, who had a rough fight with the Kitengu, withstand such repeated torments? Under the fierce offensive of the Chopaku Army and the raging ravages of the Kitengu, they, who were not as tough as the regular army, quickly collapsed.
At this time, Takeda Shingen was already being carried away and was fleeing. Fortunately, Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu were also exhausted at this time and did not dare to pursue anymore. Instead, they turned to attack the Toubari ninjas who were fighting with Du Fei's army.
The remnants of the Army and Takeda Arms Corps and Lin's Corps.
At this time, Yamama Jutsu had just come out of the excitement of defeating the Kidengu, when he was surrounded by the Oda Army and the Tokugawa Army. His face turned pale with fright: "This! They actually have so many troops?"
He originally thought that the Tokugawa Army and the Oda Army had been trapped by Takeda Shingen for many days, and there were few left. However, Takeda Shingen did not use a quick attack strategy, but a attrition strategy. He planned to surround them for four or five days before attacking.
.So in fact, the personnel losses of the Oda and Tokugawa troops were not large. It was just that nearly one-third of the soldiers died when they forced their way down. Because the Takeda army accidentally lost command, they had the opportunity to break out.
If they were besieged for a few more days, there would probably be only a few people who would come out, as Shanjian Shu expected. If Takeda Shingen hadn't been so unlucky to be injured by Ryu, the outcome of the battle would have been difficult to predict.
But in marching operations, there is absolutely no such thing as if.
Losing is losing, winning is winning. It is useless to emphasize objective reasons. War only needs results.
Knowing that his fate was over, Yamamanjutsu also gave up his persistence and led the remaining troops to flee in a hurry. The Oda Army and the Tokugawa Army were besieged for several days. The soldiers had not eaten for more than a day and had no strength to pursue them anymore. They chased for a while symbolically.
Then they went back to the city to eat and rest. Only Du Feijun was energetic and chased the ninja army all the way to Changbei City.
At this time, Takeda Shingen's main force had already retreated to the city. The defenders in the city suddenly became full, and they launched a fierce attack on Du Fei's army who was pursuing relentlessly!
Takeda Shingen opened his bloodshot eyes. He looked at the general kneeling beside him and his incompetent son Takeda Katsuyori. He sighed deeply and asked: "Where is Baba Shinbo?"
?There is also a letter dragon?"
Yamagata Masaki, who had multiple wounds on his body, lowered his head in frustration: "They all died in the battle! The Takeda Akabi Cavalry, which I can make the world's enemies, was all killed by a single man."
"Don't say that about that little guy. I didn't regard him as a famous person from the beginning. He is an arrow figure who can rival Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu!" Takeda Shingen said and suddenly started coughing violently.
He spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood! He rolled his eyes and fainted!
The doctors accompanying the army rushed to treat him. At this time, Kosaka Masanobu suddenly pulled away Takeda Katsuyori, who was crying beside Takeda Shingen, and whispered: "Your Highness, please take a step to speak!"
I saw him pulling aside Takeda Katsuyori, whose face was full of tears, looking around and whispering: "Your Majesty Shingen's situation is not good. You must make a decision as soon as possible!"
Although Takeda Katsuyori was stunned, he was not stupid: "What do you mean?"
"Your Highness must make the announcement about the successor now! Although he has been leading you in wars this year, your younger brother, Nishina Shengxin, who inherited the Nishina family, has done a better job than you in expanding territory and running operations.
!This is very fatal! His Highness is a person who pays great attention to practical abilities, I am afraid there will be changes." Kosaka Masanobu obviously had a plan for a long time.
He understands that as long as Nishina Shengxin inherits the Takeda family business, he will definitely promote members of the Nishina family to important positions. On the contrary, veterans of the Takeda family like him will be left out and marginalized.
So he had already made up his mind, no matter who Takeda Katsuyori was, he must be promoted to the top! At least Takeda Katsuyori, who was also a military commander and often fought together, would understand the abilities and role of an old minister like him, and follow him.
PeopleSoft Simpson Thacher, who has a background in internal affairs, focuses on very different staff.
As a general who fought hard for the Takeda family for more than ten years, although Kosaka Masanobu was not very old, his long military career made him mature prematurely and suffer accidents.
He knows that if you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth! Your efforts may not necessarily be rewarded! Instead of waiting bitterly, it is better to take the initiative! Only by controlling your destiny in your own hands can you have the last laugh.
So he put all his chips on the stunned Takeda Katsuyori.
"Okay! When father wakes up, I will ask him directly!" What Takeda Katsuyori said made Kosaka Masanobu almost reflect on whether his position was correct.
"Young Master, please don't talk too much. Remember what I say. If you can speak less and act more cautiously during this period, the position of family governor will definitely be yours!"
Once again: "Remember it! Say less! Act carefully!"
After saying that, he ducked into Takeda Shingen's bedroom.
At this time, Takeda Shingenyi had gradually regained consciousness under the diligent treatment of doctors. He saw the worried Takasaka Masanobu, and suddenly called softly and affectionately: "Little Santa (former name of Takasaka Masanobu), come here quickly. Fortunately for you."
Still alive"
He suddenly became energetic and struggled to hold himself up: "I am an old man who is almost seventy years old, but I still have to compete with these young people. I really overestimate my capabilities!"
After hearing these words, Kosaka Masanobu couldn't help but feel sad. He suddenly remembered Takeda Shingen in his prime. At that time, he was just a little servant of Takeda Shingen. He clearly remembered that Takeda Shingen at that time was like a young man who had just come down from the mountain.
Like a giant tiger, when he stares, the whole earth seems to tremble! Everyone is afraid of his majesty and bravery! At that time, he worshiped Takeda Shingen, and his biggest wish was to become a great hero like Takeda Shingen
Great hero, even one tenth!
But I didn't expect that only twenty years later, the great hero in my mind would become the old man suffering from injuries and illnesses in front of me.
"Mistress, please don't hold me back in a daze. We don't have much time now." Takeda Shingen seemed to have a very clear understanding of his situation: "I don't know why all the pain on my body suddenly disappeared. I remember my father said that once a person is about to die,
Now, all the pain will leave you and you will suddenly wake up. Ahem, it seems that I have had too much time."
"No! Your Highness!" Kosaka Masanobu suddenly threw away all the little calculations in his heart: "You will get better! This is a sign that the wound will get better! Doctor! Do you think so?"
After finishing speaking, Kosaka Masanobu stared at the doctor who had just treated Takeda Shingen, but the doctor's face was earthy and he said nothing.
"Why don't you speak! Speak! How could a man as strong as a tiger, Your Highness, die?" Kosaka Masanobu suddenly lost his mind. He grabbed the doctor's collar with a thick hand and shouted, strangely.
The doctor didn't show any fear or dodge, he just lowered his head.
"Mistress, don't waste my time anymore. I still have an unfulfilled wish. You must promise me that you will come." Takeda Shingen said and waved to him with difficulty.
Kosaka Masanobu approached Takeda Shingen uneasily, and only heard Takeda Shingen whisper in his ear: "My long-cherished wish in life is to worship the sky at Lake Fushi near Kyoto, and become the overlord of the world. For this promise, I will spend the rest of my life
I have never been to Lake Qifan. It seems that the next wish will never come true in this life, but I should at least take a look at the legendary holy lake."
Takeda Shingen's pitiful wish made Kosaka Masanobu feel sad again: the man who once aspired to be the world's overlord, his last wish turned out to be so simple.
He knew that Kyoto was now under the strict control of Oda Nobunaga. It was not easy to sneak in and take Takeda Shingen with him, who was on the verge of death! But he felt that he had no reason to reject him.
When he told several important ministers and Takeda Katsuyori Takeda Shingen's last wish, several senior ministers couldn't help sobbing.
"I'll go with you too!" Naito Takamasa, one of Takeda's four ministers, said every word with clenched teeth.
Sanada Masayuki, the leader of Takeda Shingen's valet, said categorically: "I want to go too! I failed to complete the mission given to me by the Lord, and my failure to kill Du Fei led to our disastrous defeat today! I must help the lord fulfill his last wish!"
"
"Okay!" Kosaka Masanobu looked at the group of brothers who had fought side by side with him for decades, and said in a trembling voice while holding back the tears that were constantly overflowing from his eyes: "Let us see His Highness off for the last journey together!"
So, they helped Takeda Shingen into a red sedan, took a few close followers, and rushed to the Oda family's territory at the risk of death.
Not long after they broke into the Oda family's territory, Sanada Masayuki secretly whispered to Kosaka Masanobu: "No! There is a 'tail' behind us!"
Several people traveling together felt nervous! They held the swords in their hands one after another, and their eyes were all red: even if they risked their own lives, they would kill everyone who dared to block the way!
