Chapter five hundred and seventy-four stalemate on Kawanaka Island
A huge gap appeared between the chaotic right wing of the Takeda Army and the advancing main formation, which was enough for the Yangbei Army to directly attack the main formation from the flank.
On the left, the Takeda Ichimen's troops were still adjusting their direction, and their gun array turned from south to west. They fell into chaos for a while and found it difficult to enter the battle.
Takeda Nobushige ordered all ministries to assemble the army while paying attention to the changes on the battlefield.
When she saw Yang Beizhong attacking Takeda Harunobu's main formation from the side, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Order! Takeda Nobuyan takes over the command of the left wing and supervises the rapid turn of the armies into battle!
Tell her that my army has been reorganized and will be the first to enter the battlefield to support our formation."
Takeda Nobushige's army was closest to the main formation, and it was also the army that turned the fastest.
She handed over the command of Takeda's left wing to her sister Takeda Nobuyoshi, and then directly led the team to insert into the gap between Takeda's right wing and the main formation, closing the loopholes and reducing the pressure on Takeda Harunobu.
———
The battlefield was filled with shouts of killing.
The Uesugi Army's 11,000 men had the advantage in numbers and formation, and launched wave after wave of attacks on the Takeda Army's 8,000 men. It was like a stormy wave crashing on the Takeda Army, almost collapsing.
The situation is great, but Terutora Uesugi is frowning in this formation.
The tenacity of the Takeda army far exceeded her imagination, and Naoe Keizuna in the distance didn't know how long he could deceive the Takeda ambush.
Once Takeda's ambush turns and the army comes to join the battlefield, the Uesugi army will be in trouble.
The two sides were in a mess on the battlefield. Only the main formation of the Uesugi Army, the Rangers and the Imperial Army, and the left wing of the Takeda Army were still in complete formation.
All other troops have been thrown into the battlefield to fight to the death. The front lines are unclear, the enemy and friends are intertwined, and the chaos is chaotic.
If at this time, the Takeda Army enters the battlefield in full force, the Uesugi Army will never be able to resist it.
This is not a gap in military force between the Ji warriors, but a gap in military organizational power.
A chaotic military formation can never defeat an orderly military formation. What the military competes with is who has more discipline and execution ability.
Terutora Uesugi ordered.
"Order Saito Asanobu to lead the army to intervene, approach Takeda's left wing, and not allow them to enter the battlefield.
Order Maori Jingguang to lead the palace army to take over the position of our formation and support the army."
After Uesugi Teruhora finished speaking, he looked at Yoshigan Shiba beside him and bowed slightly.
"Mr. Qianxin, now it's up to you and me."
Shiba Yiyin nodded.
The battlefield has been fought for a long time, and the troops on both sides are exhausted.
Both Takeda's right wing and Takeda Harunobu's main formation are like taut rubber bands.
At this time, it only takes one impact beyond their capabilities to cause them excessive damage and completely defeat the Takeda army.
There is not much time left for the Uesugi army. Takeda Harunobu must be defeated before Takeda's ambush can react.
Shiba Yiyin asked.
"How are you going to fight?"
Terutora Uesugi pointed at Takeda Harunobu's main formation and said.
"I will lead the bannermen of this formation to directly attack Takeda Harunobu's formation. I will kill her!"
Uesugi Teruhora's main formation is mostly composed of the Nagao clan, and these people are the backbone of her army.
In order to make the final decision, she mobilized a large number of long-tailed soldiers from various military forces before the war.
It can be said that Uesugi Terutora's main formation at this time is the sharpest sword in her hand, and the hundreds of warrior princesses in her hand are the essence of the Nagao people.
Shiba Yiyin looked up at the chaotic battlefield and turned on the insight mode.
Under the system's unreasonable plug-ins, he saw through the essence behind the chaotic appearance of the battlefield.
The right wing of the Takeda Army and the main formation are in a state of physical exhaustion and panting. However, their morale is emotionally stable and slightly shaken.
Yiyin was secretly speechless.
The Takeda family is indeed powerful. No wonder they were able to conquer the Shinano Kingdom with a small territory like Kai and a large one.
Being attacked like this by Uesugi's army, even though the enemy's physical strength was low, their morale was still at a level.
Yoshigan glanced all the way, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and he found a row of different words behind Takeda Harunobu's main formation.
Full of energy, high morale, and ready to fight.
Takeda Harunobu is so gloomy!
The battlefield was like this, and the formation's headquarters suffered heavy losses. She still gritted her teeth and persisted, holding an elite force in her hands and not going into the battle.
What is she guarding against?
Yoshigan couldn't help turning his head to look at Uesugi Terutora who was eager to try, his heart felt cold.
Uesugi Terutora gathered most of the Nagao clan in this formation. If this fierce battle is exhausted, most of the cornerstone of her rule of Echigo will be destroyed.
"I don't agree with you attacking Takeda's main formation."
———
Twelveseguchi on the west side of Mount Tsuma.
Naoe Keizuna firmly guarded the swimming point on the west side of the ferry, leaving the Takeda ambush on the other side helpless.
But at the same time, Takasaka Masanobu and Baba Nobuharu on the other side already felt something was wrong.
Kosaka Masanobu looked to the north, feeling uneasy and said.
"Something is wrong. The sound of conch shells coming from the direction of Hachimanhara is endless. It lasts too long.
Your Highness has 8,000 troops, so it won’t take that long to attack the Uesugi army’s logistics depot.”
Baba Nobuharu also nodded and said.
"Indeed, the Uesugi blocking troops on the opposite side were too calm.
The army is retreating and must have gone far away, and we cannot pursue it.
She stood alone at the ferry, not thinking about how to escape, but it seemed like she was stalling for time."
The two looked at each other and at the same time looked north at Hachimanhara, feeling horrified in their hearts.
At this time, Sanada Yukitaka came asking to see him.
After saluting, the leader of the Eastern Faith frowned and said.
"Two adults, there is something strange at the ferry here..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a noise in the camp behind him, and an envoy of the Takeda family rushed towards him on horseback from a distance.
The three of them all screamed inwardly that something was probably going to happen.
The army gave way and the commander rushed to the main formation. He almost fell off his horse and kept shouting.
"Uesugi Terutora is in Hachimangahara! Your Highness ordered the army to return for reinforcements!"
The three of them felt cold all over. They looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had already gone for half the morning.
Now that I think about it, the Takeda Army and the Uesugi Army have been fighting fiercely for a long time since the sound of conch shells was heard from Hachimangahara at dawn.
Takeda Harunobu didn't know that they had been tricked into coming to Tadeuseguchi, so they were bound to look for traces of the army in the area around Nekuseguchi.
It's been too long!
The Takeda Army in Yawatahara only had 8,000 men, the Uesugi Army blocking the other side of Twelvese Pass had at most a thousand men, and Uesugi Teruhu still had 11,000 men.
The Takeda Army was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, divided its forces tactically, and was caught off guard. The situation on the Yawatawara side was definitely not good.
The three of them could no longer sit still.
Kosaka Masanobu said.
"We must return support immediately without any further delay."
Nobuharu Baba pointed at the Uesugi military strength on the other side and said.
"Leave an army to watch them in case they follow us and harass us.
The other troops quickly returned to Nemoseguchi and crossed the river to Hachimangahara to rescue His Highness."
Yukitaka Sanada volunteered.
"I would like to stay."
Kosaka Masanobu and Baba Nobuharu exchanged glances and both nodded.
