Ogasawara failed to seize the city for a long time, forcing Yukitaka Sanada to give up the strategy of full bloom, and instead focused on 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 troops in the two camps suffered a major blow before they could take 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 too big when it first started, 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 By this time, the Shinano Army had already withdrawn without a trace.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 over a fire before taking them out for use.
The armor was carefully cut open to reveal an arrow sore full of blood. Highly distilled sake was sprinkled 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 dull knife cutting flesh. It didn't take long for Baba Nobuharu to sweat profusely from the pain. Without anesthesia, 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.
The ghost Meinong admires him 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. It will be healed soon...it's ready!" The moment the old doctor pulled out the arrow, several assistant doctors who had been waiting for a long time quickly
He applied the medicine to the wound, dried the white cloth in a steamer, quickly put on a bandage, and then left with a few instructions to change the dressing on time, pay attention to self-cultivation, eat appropriate and taboo foods, etc.
Several servants took off their tattered armors, and two servants came in with hot water and towels to wipe the body of Nobuharu Nobuharu, and another servant 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 with sweat. In addition to drinking water, you must also wipe your body in time.
Baba Nobuharu covered his painful arrow wound and shouted angrily: "Here comes someone! Bring Ying Saburo and others who are on duty today over here. I will kill this evil thief with my own hands!"
"General, Oisaburo and his team's ashigaru died while fighting the fire..." Itagaki Nobuan hesitated for a moment before still covering up for those ashigaru who jumped into the sea of fire. It was not that he sympathized with those despicable ashigaru.
, they were really worried that telling the truth but angering Nobuharu Baba would cause serious complications. The medical officer repeatedly told them not to make Nobuharu Baba angry, so how could they dare to speak 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. Baba Nobuharu heard this
As expected, his face looked much better after the news, and he snorted coldly: "Those evil thieves were taken advantage of. I suspected that they were secret agents of the Kira family, and actually tricked me into leaving the stronghold unprepared, but I was ambushed by Kira's army.
, I can’t wait to cut these evil thieves into pieces!”
When Baba Nobharu said this, no one else dared to interrupt and explain. Even if the conclusion was a bit 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 could not move,
Takeda Nobushige sighed: "But I underestimated the Kira army's methods. Judging from the scheme, it must be Sanada Dansheng's method. I never expected that Sanada Dansheng would be reused by the Kira family so quickly, and he would also be the leader.
The commander-in-chief of this 17,000-strong army, the magnanimity and methods of Zhenfu Gong are far beyond our imagination!"
Hearing Takeda Nobushige's respect for Kiragi in his words, Sone Masayo and Baba Nobharu couldn't help but frown. They could see that Takeda Nobushige was still affected by Echigo during the few months he was imprisoned.
It was replaced by "Zhenfu Gong". Although this kind of title is always easy to choose, it is always uncomfortable to address the enemy's governor when they are enemies.
"Sanada Danzheng has unpredictable methods, but he unexpectedly surrenders to the Kira family. Doesn't he claim to be a loyal minister and a good general? Is such an act of betrayal worthy of the title of a loyal minister and a good general?
What a shameful samurai!" Baba Nobuharu cursed angrily, but accidentally caused an arrow wound on his body, and he grinned in pain and groaned.
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 at the Uzaki Hall last year must not forget the two children of Sanada Danmasa.
My lord died in battle on the Hachimangahara. If the Kira family captures his three young sons, it will be like holding the life of Sanada Danmasa. I believe you two can understand that, right?"
"But it was our negligence! All the hostages in the Tsuzaki Hall were taken away. It seems that the Kira family has already started plotting against me!" Masayo Sone sighed, which made the two of them sigh.
.
There was a time when the Takeda family was very confident in their own strength. Even if they could not defeat Nagao in a wild battle, the Kira family could always recover the losses they suffered from you in terms of tactics and strategies. However, the changes in the current situation have told the Takeda family that no matter whether they are playing
Neither strategic tactics nor head-to-head combat on the battlefield are any match for the Kira family, and their self-confidence will inevitably suffer a serious blow.
This kind of blow is more severe than the blow to self-esteem. The Takeda family may not care about the Kira family's righteous accusations, but they can't help but care about the Kira family's strategies. The pre-battle plan at midnight yesterday failed for a while. Earlier,
The hostage hijacking at the Tsuzaki Mansion was a complete failure. When the hostages were hijacked, 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 are not worthy of their name. Only Sanada Yukitaka, the three bombs, is a real general. Whether it is to suppress the government and win over the enemy, or to defend the fort to block the enemy's attack, it is perfect. What's more powerful is the
The means of siege were unpredictable, and the tactics of mobilization were endless. The anti-Takeda alliance that had affected most of Shinano was easily broken up by him. He made great achievements for the Takeda family to capture Shinano.
When he had the sharp sword in his hand, the Takeda family's strategy was smooth sailing. Needless to say, he was very comfortable with the sharp sword. However, once he encountered the powerful enemy Kira family, he found that the strategy was not so smooth and the sharp sword seemed not as good as before.
After using it, I immediately felt that Yukitaka Sanada was not as powerful as before, and he felt a sense of disgust in his heart. However, no one cared about how many achievements Yukitaka Sanada had made, how much suffering he had endured, and how tired he was.
On this day, he suddenly betrayed the Kira family and became the sharp target of a powerful enemy. The dissatisfaction and anger in his heart suddenly broke out. Just like Baba Nobuharu, a few sarcastic words were fine, but some samurai scolded him in private, which was really unpleasant, almost.
They compared Yukitaka Sanada to a despicable and shameless villain, and even falsely accused the Kira family of infiltrating the Takeda family's secrets, but they didn't think about how much harm they had done to the Sanada family and Yukitaka Sanada himself in the past few years.
This is the bad nature of human nature. We only remember the bad things about others, but forget the good things about others. No matter how much credit Sanada Yukitaka has made, it is unforgivable if he makes mistakes. Just like the world praises heroes, when a hero accidentally makes a mistake
Even when ordinary people make the same mistakes, they are always unforgivable. This is because the hero's undefeated image is always magnified unconsciously, and people gradually forget that he is also a mortal of flesh and blood.
"The topic is too heavy! It's better not to talk about it!" Sone Masayo broke the topic and looked at Takeda Nobushige with admiration and said: "Speaking of which, it was thanks to Takeda Norima's defeat of the Ogasawara army that the battle situation was reversed in time, and I was not forced to do so.
When I am desperate and commit suicide after defeat, I would like to express my gratitude to Noriden Takeda!"
"Ah! I should be more grateful for the great kindness of the Nobashi Temple. If I am too late, my life will be handed down here. Please accept my bow!" Nobharu Baba was about to stand up, and Nobushige Takeda and Masayo Sone hurriedly pulled him away.
He refused to let him get up. He was wounded by an arrow and couldn't get up to say thanks. After all, he was finally persuaded to come down.
The three chatted for a while and then talked about today's battle situation. Takeda Nobushige 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 was really killing the enemy."
Eight hundred will cost you a thousand!"
Sone Masayo said with a smile: "Without the timely victory of Nomashiden, it would have been a total defeat. Speaking of it, the Kira Army suffered more. It would be a bad idea to replace him as the vanguard general, but I use this Ogasawara for a long time. I don't want to run into this Ogasawara."
His long-term desire to make meritorious deeds ruined Sanada Danmasa’s strategy, so Sanada Danmasa must be very angry!”
Nobuharu Baba struggled to stand up and lean on the mat, smiling and agreeing: "The 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's battle can only be regarded as
Four points to win!”
The three people tried their best to encourage and speak 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 have to be fought here.
Having lost a lot in the war, the samurai can easily think of the strength of the Kira Legion. When they see their former comrades joining the Kira family and fighting against them, it is inevitable that they will be triggered by the situation, which makes it even more difficult to fight.
Kumai Castle was already too small and dilapidated to be used. An explosion along the way to the castle tower destroyed the castle and the Ninomaru. It seemed that it could no longer be used. Once the military use of Kumai Castle was completely lost, these ten thousand people would be destroyed.
The strength of more than two thousand troops is equivalent to setting up a large camp on the mountains to attack Chikuma County.
There is nothing wrong with setting up camp here militarily. In the past, Ogasawara Nagatoki chose to set up camp here to invade Suwa County. However, there is a major prerequisite for this, that is, the attacking party can only carry out the attack after confirming its own advantages.
Otherwise, it would be like Ogasawara letting his guard down for a long time but being beaten by the Takeda army and losing his armor. Even the forest castle in the mansion 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 thanks to Takeda Nobushige's excellent command and Ogasawara's faulty performance.
However, the loss of one thousand for eight hundred was still greater for the Takeda Army.
After all, the Takeda Army has fewer troops, and the Kai Takeda clan's crisis 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 human 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 Sanada Yukitaka wins by four points, Takeda Nobushige will lose by more than six points. Both Takeda Nobashige and Baba Nobharu and Sone Masayo who are here are very clear about this. The Takeda Army can only win but not lose in this operation, even if it is a small defeat.
One game is also 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 to cooperate with each other. 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 mistake. The Lord ordered me to lead the flag of Shinano and take on the responsibility of attacking Central and South Shinano. The two of them should actively cooperate, because my momentary negligence was also responsible for the failure of this war.
There is a certain responsibility, so I would like to ask the Lord to confiscate half a year's salary, and also propose to confiscate the salary of Ogasawara Shinano Shoden for one year, and not be allowed to move to the left to resign within three years. I wonder what Ogasawara Shinano Shinano's wishes are?"
"Yes! I'm willing to accept the punishment! I've caused a lot of trouble to Danzhoden and Habayashiden. I'm sorry!" Ogasawara stood on the ground and bowed down with a face full of shame. Murakami Yoshikiyo on the side saw it in disgust. Who would have thought that
How could the dignified former guardian of Shinano bow down to two lords of Shinano country because of a momentary mistake?
Sanada Yukitaka took on the role of the elder of the Shodai family and criticized them a few words, but it was really 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 strength and attacked him.
Fighting, but he should never ignore the important factor of terrain. There are three thousand defenders in the city plus five thousand defenders outside the city. The whole city is packed to the brim. How can he fight if there are so many people?
Is there any justice in being 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 been through 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 Yukitaka Sanada. 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 should not 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.
I rushed in with my head down, and then lost in a daze.
Now that I think about it, Ogasawara feels ashamed and remorseful for this. This level is simply inferior. 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: "Actually, 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 killed them. The tight formation was suddenly broken up. I had no choice but to retreat a little. However, I didn't want the Takeda Army to pursue me fiercely and pursue the main formation intent on biting me. The retreat turned into
Retreat…I’m sorry!”
"In this case, the defeat of Shinano Shoden is understandable..." Murakami Yoshikiyo frowned and asked: "It seems that Takeda Noriyama really can't be underestimated! Is there any chance of taking the main hall to Takeda Noriyama?"
How much do you know?"
Yukitaka Sanada recalled for a while, and then slowly said: "Takeda Nomiya? I, Yukitaka, don't know much about Takeda Nomiya. 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, and the military
In terms of strategy, he is not inferior to Takeda Daisen at all, but he lacks the ruthless tactics of Takeda Daisen in military use, and he doesn’t like to win by strategy. He is probably a model samurai who adheres to tradition!"
In fact, he and Takeda Nobushige still had some contacts, and they got along quite well with each other through several military cooperations. They gradually accumulated some friendship as colleagues, but they were limited to their respective identities. After all, Takeda Nobushige was a sensitive person in the Takeda family, and he had always been regarded as a colleague.
Takeda Shingen was promoted to be the deputy general, but his true military strategy level has only been slightly demonstrated in recent years.
Perhaps Takeda Nobushige's luck is not very good. Every time he uses his opponent, he encounters the main force of the Kira Legion. Even if his extraordinary ability can only bring some achievements that are not glorious, it will inevitably make people look down upon him over time.
In fact, this is not the case. Just like Sanada Yukitaka often failed when he encountered the Kira family. The expression of means and abilities depends on who the opponent is. If he chooses an opponent who is far stronger than himself in all aspects, his performance is destined to be clumsy.
.
Just like Ogasawara Nagatoki, who is world-famous for his bravery, he is considered to be very high among the first-class generals in terms of military strategy. Even Murakami Yoshikiyo dare not say that he can take advantage of him. What is helpless is that
The enemies Ogasawara Nagasaki encountered were either Takeda Shingen or Takeda Nobushige. The quality of his own troops was inferior to the opponent's. If he did anything even slightly imperfectly, he would be defeated by the opportunity.
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 top-notch in other states. The combination of the three is even better than many daimyo who are proud of it.
The combinations of Taiyuan Sekssai, Asahina Taino, and Okabe Motobu are not necessarily better than the three of them.
The three of them worked together to meet the top Takeda family members Takeda Nobushige, Baba Nobharu and Sone Masayo, whose combination was only slightly worse than them. The competition between the two sides had a relatively high level of luck, and it was unlikely that the situation would collapse due to an accident.
The changes in the game 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, or the stalemate will not produce any results in the end.
Or there will be an extremely brutal battle.
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 wood. Forging iron requires one's own hard work, and one's own disadvantages cannot be made up for in time. That's it.
If you push all the way to Suwa County, you will probably suffer another heavy defeat in Suwa County. By then, the advantage of good location and people will shift from the Kira family to the Takeda family. It will not be that easy for you to retreat calmly again.
The Shinano Army did not intend to move again, and the Takeda Army did not dare to continue fighting due to its huge disadvantage and fear of Yukitaka Sanada. The Takeda Army persisted in fear outside the damaged Kumai Castle for three days, waiting for Nobuharu Baba to be able to go to the ground.
, they hurriedly burned Xiongjing City and led their troops to retreat.
A strong and broad Okaya North Castle was built on the Katsugen Pass adjacent to the Shiojiri Pass, and eight thousand troops were placed in the city to protect the Suwa Basin under the mountain. Yukitaka Sanada also came to rebuild Kumai Castle and the newly built Kumai Castle.
It is divided into two cities, the north and the south. The two cities are two kilometers apart. They are more than twice the size of the previous ones. There is no problem in garrisoning 5,000 troops in each of the two cities.
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 will
You don’t dare to harass me again after the main force is sent over, right? If you still come, you can’t blame Yukitaka Sanada for being rude. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
