Chapter 583 45. Yamagata Saburo Comes with the Wind

Looking at the head with a resolute but pale face in front of him, Takeda Yoshinobu was speechless for a moment.

"Your Highness, you can't miss the victory that Sozou exchanged for his life!" Although Okuma Asahide himself was a traitor, it did not prevent him from admiring truly loyal and brave samurai.

"Yes, Your Highness, this situation is not easy to come by!" Kawaguchi Nobumi also advised loudly.

Takeda Yoshinobu's hands loosened and clenched, clenched and loosened. He is not a person without decision, but his courage is inferior to that of his father Takeda Shingen. Moreover, he lacks backbone confidants and cannot completely suppress the countrymen in terms of strength, which is why he seemed hesitant before.

Holding up the wooden box containing Tsuchiya Masahide's head, Takeda Yoshinobu's facial muscles could no longer be tensed, and a crystal rolled in his eye sockets.

"Uncle is the first mover, Bizen beats the drum for me! I will go out in person!" Takeda Yoshinobu asked a servant to carry Tsuchiya Masahiro's head back to his homeland in Kai, and then showed the posture of a Kai samurai.

The offensive of the Takeda army did not weaken because of Tsuchiya Masahiro's death. The Kai army present could only see the more than five-meter-high Tsuchiya Seven Stars Flag still fiercely charging towards Yamanouchi. There was still a general riding on a horse, fighting bravely under his banner.

Accompanied by the powerful Fuji-ryu Jintai drum, Takeda Yoshinobu and the Hinomaru Imperial Flag pressed towards the Yamanouchi army together.

Although Kai people such as Oyamada Nobushige wanted to preserve their strength, seeing Tsuchiya Masahiro breaking two formations in a row, the morale of the Takeda army was high. No one would refuse to fight a favorable battle, and seeing Takeda Yoshinobu go out at this time, it seemed that it was time to win. They no longer worked without effort and began to attack fiercely.

"Report! The Kiso team has been defeated by the A army's Oyamada slingers, Chimura Keibu was killed, and Kiso Fukushima-dono has retreated!"

"His Highness Katsurao was attacked by the A army's Takeda Norimichi, begging His Highness for help!"

What's going on!

Kobayata felt that he had done nothing wrong, and he had arranged the troops and made all the preparations before the war. Why does it look like he is being completely suppressed by the Takeda army now? What's the problem?

"The bravery of the A army lies in Tsuchiya!" The old father-in-law was very sure!

"If the Tsuchiya Seven Stars Flag falls, the A army will also fall!"

Fire the cannon?

Ignore Hosokawa Saijo and Ogasawara Nagamasa who are stuck with the Tsuchiya army?

Looking at the old father-in-law, Kobayata didn't quite understand. Did he even ignore his own son?

"Danzheng! I will lead the first team to intercept Tsuchiya Sozo in person!" Murakami Yoshimitsu seemed to understand something.

"Not necessary yet, wait a little longer!"

Sitting back on his stool hesitantly, Xiao Pingtai saw the A army, which had almost all been dispatched.

War, after all, is a contest of people!

…………

The three teams of Yamagata, Nagasaka, and Tsuchiya, which rushed into the gap and broke through the heavy formation, had a total of no less than a thousand people, and could already determine the direction of the war.

Yamagata Masakage looked at the sword in his hand, which had just been used to chop off the dying Tsuchiya Masahiro's head. The head was stained with the blood of the warriors, reflecting the face of Yamagata Masakage.

The blade flashed with incredible brilliance, like the gorgeous cherry blossoms in spring, revealing a breath of eagerness to fight.

"Follow me to charge!"

Morale was extremely high, and fresh troops continued to join. Ogasawara Nagamasa, who had only more than 200 people, could not support it. No matter how elite the standing troops were, they could not stand the small number of people, not to mention that the A army was not bad at all. The Tsuchiya army, who were determined to die, could drag Ogasawara Nagamasa to death even if they exchanged one for one.

"Ding-dang-dang-dang..." Helpless, Ogasawara Nagamasa, who lost more than 60 people, was forced to retreat.

Hosokawa Saijo had more than 3,000 people, but let's not talk about the Sakushu. The original samurai and servants were almost dead, lacking officers, and the army's organization was extremely weak. If it weren't for the transfer of the samurai and servants of the Yamauchi family, there would be no troops to participate in the war this year.

With the retreat of Ogasawara Nagamasa on the right wing, the Hosokawa team, which was already in a difficult battle, finally showed signs of collapse. Hosokawa Saijo saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. Behind him was the main force of the Yamauchi army. If he collapsed, Yamauchi Taro would have to face the enemy directly.

At this time, the Shichigui faction under Hosokawa Saijo sent an urgent message, and the Komoro people who originally belonged to Takeda Noriaki Nobushige also showed signs of wavering and confusion. If they were not dealt with, both wings would be wide open.

What to do?

Unfortunately, Yamagata Masakage did not give Hosokawa Saeko a chance to hesitate, and personally launched a three-sided general attack on the Hosokawa team. More than a thousand people surrounded more than three thousand people, but they were sure of victory.

Finally, the miscellaneous soldiers in the rear formation of the Sakuchu Komoro soldiers took the lead in turning around and running away!

Lost!

Three thousand people were scattered!

The front of Yamagata Masakage suddenly opened up, and there were only 5,000 Yamanouchi hatamoto who were guarding Yuga Mountain!

Looking back, the tiger of Koyama came down the mountain, and all the armies went out together. The advantage is mine, and the chance of victory is mine!

Of course, the front of him was open, and the firing range of Kodaira Tai's cannon was also open.

"Good opportunity!" Kodaira Tai and Yamagata Masakage said in unison!

Although Hosokawa Saeko was defeated, whether he was killed or not, he would be a hero again when he came back in two hours. But there was no Yamanouchi army in front of Yamagata Masakage. If he didn't fire now, when would he fire?

And Yamagata Masakage also knew that the Yamanouchi family's hatamoto standing guard was not a whole reserve force, but was divided into thirteen reserve forces, commanded by thirteen hatamoto generals. As long as he was not a whole, in this era where communication basically relied on shouting, it would definitely take a certain amount of time to communicate in a coordinated manner.

Relying on the extremely high morale of the A army, they can charge and fight quickly. One thousand cannot defeat five thousand, but a squad can be as few as two hundred or as many as five hundred, so the one-on-one advantage is obvious.

Break through one point and attack Uigayama. There is no need to cut down Matarō in the battle. Cut down the white flag of the Eighth White Flag of the Genji clan and the two-hiki of Yamauchi, and the Yamauchi army will collapse.

"Suwa Daimyojin, Fuji Hakusan Daimyojin, Yumiya Hachiman Daimyojin!" Chanting the god's name, looking at the Tsuchiya Nanayo fluttering in the wind behind him, Yamagata Masakage took the lead.

The A army soldiers exerted their strength on their feet, held their spears and swords, and rushed towards the Yamauchi hatamoto in a horizontal formation with their flags waving.

The longbows and iron cannons in front of the Yamauchi battle roared one after another, and the unparalleled warriors in the smoke fell down, and the loyal and brave were annihilated. However, the red-clad Yamagata Masakage jumped out of the diffuse smoke without a scratch.

He looked like a god of war descending from the sky, with a long sword in his left and right hands, a lance in his right hand, a long black hat and a red hat, and a red lacquered five-piece torso, which exuded the heroic spirit of a warrior.

The Shinano horse under his crotch trotted the ground with its four hooves, neighing like a dragon, and moving as fast as lightning.

The Yamauchi army in front of him gradually enlarged, and every bullet seemed to be paying tribute to him, whistling past him!

Accompanied by the first roar of the cannon on Mount Ariga!
