Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]
Chapter 89
"—Further ahead is Yuanjiang, Mr. Zongsan."
"Stop here. Izumi Mori will come and replace me as captain later."
In the cold wind, the handsome young man with pink hair and strangely colored eyes said so.
"There are still two days left, that's..."
——The Zhide Allied Forces were defeated by the Takeda Army in the Mikatahara Battle.
When Zong San Zuo Wenwen thought of this, he felt that there was a faint ups and downs in his heart.This is not because of the uneasiness about the difficulties that Saburo is about to face and the obstacles that can be judged by the time-traveling army, but because he is about to face the strong luck of Oda Nobunaga in history and witness him get rid of the crisis again Emotionally.
If he didn't understand the direction of history, he might not be like this.But it is precisely because he understands how Oda Nobunaga loves Oda Nobunaga so much in this era, and he has become Token Fusangshin under Oda Nobunaga's command again, that he pays great attention to this must-lose, but subsequent but miraculously won battle— —This is a crisis that is quite similar to the Battle of Anegawa, but completely different, and capable of changing history.
Even if the only thing they can fight against is the time-traveling army, and even if this "historical" crisis is only about Tokugawa Ieyasu's life, it cannot be denied that this is also the muddy battle of Oda Nobunaga's domination of the world so far. The biggest obstacle encountered on the trail.
In such a tortuous process of getting involved in history, they actually have the illusion of fighting with the god judges.Obviously this time facing Takeda's so-called Otoku allied forces, Oda's part is only part of the troops brought by Sakuma Nobumori, and their god judges are far away in Gifu. Compared with any previous Saburo expedition, Fusangshen accompanied In the traditional mode, there is less communication between the god judge and the sword, but Zong Sanzuo's text is still a little uncontrollable because of the unusualness this time.
Perhaps it was the illusion of breaking free from the birdcage when he stayed away from Saburo and went to Sanfangyuan alone.
Or maybe what they are doing now has gone far beyond the scope of "swords and swords"-they are no longer driven by people like real swords, but they are ordered by the master like real people .
Let the swordsman lead the army... Only Oda Nobunaga would do such a thing!
"After arriving, disperse first, and lay an ambush near Hamamatsu Castle - when the Tokugawa army is defeated, it is time to go out."
Zong Sanzuo finally said so.
Yes, at this time is December [-]th, the day when Nimata Castle fell in history.
Although Saburo wanted to help Tokugawa Ieyasu, but because he had to deal with the anti-Nobunaga forces in various places, it was not until a few days ago that he finally mobilized enough troops to rush to support Tokugawa.Prior to this, it was always difficult to deliver letters from the Oda family to Tokugawa, but Tokugawa Ieyasu's letters to Saburo were all unimpeded. The Tian family has not responded for the past two months. Most of the Tokugawa family's retainers have bad feelings towards Oda. Only Tokugawa Ieyasu still firmly trusts Saburo.
It's just that this kind of trust will be broken after seeing the only a few thousand troops sent by Saburo, it is not yet known.
Swordsmen with a history in their heads don’t dare to judge people’s hearts. Among other things, Akechi Mitsuhide who is currently loyal to Saburo and has no interest in the general is a clear example... Just think about Akechi Mitsuhide now, I think it is incredible that he will launch the Honnoji Change in the future.
Or, what will happen in the next ten years that will change the relationship between the two
Ten years later, things are still too far away. I only know the sword of history, and I can understand the truth that I should not act rashly without a teacher.When the crisis that changed history came, the first thing they paid attention to was the battle that endangered Tokugawa Ieyasu's life.
As Zong Sanzuo once speculated, the time-traveling army cannot be deployed on a large scale (if thousands of people are not large-scale), nor can it stay for a long time-so the time-traveling army did not appear during the Battle of Ermata City of.Although I don't know the reason yet, but comparing the IQs of all the time-traveling soldiers that the sword men have seen before, there are only a few who can speak human words (literally).Thinking about the time-traveling army and the Asakura army fighting each other due to the wrong transmission location during the Battle of Anegawa, which led to the violation of inspection, it is not difficult to see that most of the time-traveling army is numb to the point of fighting , even regardless of enemy and friend.
Um.Moreover, for such a peculiar-looking existence as the Time Retrograde Army, it is okay to appear in troubled waters in a short period of time and in a small area. Once it moves too much, it may change history-the so-called "army that suddenly appeared on the battlefield", so A large impact will definitely attract inspections... On the contrary, the "Koga Ninja" Token Fusangshen who have passed the Ming road, whether they appear in official history or unofficial history, are acceptable in "history" within the scope of the variable.
If the time-traveling army had a clear formation or even a position, then the leader in the top position would certainly not make the same mistake.If it really didn't happen, and it was still the same as the last battle of Anegawa...then it is absolutely impossible for Takeda Shingen to watch the suspicious army intervene in the battle without even taking action this time with sword men.
——To make a lot of guesses, and to analyze possibilities and countermeasures, swordsmen are really troublesome.
What kind of God judge is destined to have a kind of Honmaru.Because the god judges really don't care about things, the current situation facing "Touken Ranbu" which is out of the government's plan is not good for Touken men at all. At worst, any development can have a rough response.
Because it's Fusangshen, it's great that I don't lose my hair because of too much thinking and stress.
After giving orders to others, Zong San Zuo Wenwen still sat on the horse and kept silent, estimating that his own time was coming soon.
His cherry-colored hair and handsome face like a woman can attract attention no matter where he is. Even because of the current turbulent situation, no matter how Oda blocks the news, a simple description of the Oda family "Koga Ninja" has spread to the public. Outside, let alone in order to facilitate their future actions, or simply understand their actions with Saburo these days, Akechi Mitsuhide has no intention of blocking the news at all.
The people on the side were used to seeing him look too weird for ordinary people, but out of low-key thinking, they still whispered to each other, and then a person walked out holding a hooded cloak, lightly Walked up to Zong San Zuo Wenwen.
"Mr. Zongsan..."
It's just that before the man finished speaking, Zong Sanzuo's figure gradually became blurred.After blinking a few times, the one sitting on the horse was replaced by Izumi Mori Kanesada, who has long black hair and looks very Japanese except for a pair of blue eyes (except for the overly long hair).
"Get up now and continue marching for me!"

On Toujian Fusangshen's side, because of the weird time difference between the two orders before and after, the matter that caused others to burst into tears is not mentioned for the time being-Tokugawa Ieyasu's side is really bursting into tears.
... This is certainly not because the Oda family only sent a few thousand people, nor is it because the Futamata Castle fell into the hands of Takeda, which completely exposed Hamamatsu Castle to Takeda's eyes, and it is not because the Oda family's reinforcements arrived just after the Futamata Castle fell... …but along with the arrival of the reinforcements, in addition to many famous generals of the Oda family, such as Sakuma Nobumori, Hirate Panxiu, and Hayashi Xiuzhen, and even the senior generals of the chief family, there are also letters from Saburo (dictated by Mitsuhide Akechi) .
This can be said to be the first letter received by Ieyasu Tokugawa after he rejected Saburo's proposal to withdraw from Enjiang.
As a matter of fact, Tokugawa Ieyasu is not completely unconcerned about the lack of news about Saburo, especially because the pressure brought by Takeda is too great. A total of [-] troops cannot defend Futamata Castle. Until the city falls.He even wavered, but because of his childhood friendship with Saburo and his trust in Saburo, he still insisted on waiting for reinforcements.
Even with the addition of Saburo's reinforcements now, there are only 1000 soldiers in Hamamatsu Castle. Tokugawa Ieyasu felt relieved that the big stone had fallen, and he couldn't wait to read the letter.
Immediately afterwards, tears rolled out of his round eyes quickly.
"Nobunaga-sama...you actually value me so much..." Ieyasu Tokugawa choked up and said, "He actually thinks that he and I are talents who must never die at this time...and even sent a personal ninja to protect me... ..."
The vassals of the Oda family who just arrived and the vassals of the Tokugawa family who have been sitting for a long time: I don’t understand your friendship very well.
"I won't die at this time. For the 'history' Mr. Nobunaga called, the Tokugawa family will definitely hold on...until this net breaks!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been struggling to support before the arrival of the reinforcements, and even more energetic after the arrival of the reinforcements, said so.
"I will definitely defend Hamamatsu Castle!"
...In short, no matter what Tokugawa Ieyasu thinks, because of the sudden enthusiasm of the Tokugawa family governor, the gap between the Tokugawa family general and the Oda family's reinforcements has finally been eliminated a lot.
With both goals and motivation, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who will become a truly unifying role in the future, will naturally have a terrifyingly high mobility.He quickly fetched the map, and while listening to the movements of Takeda's army that were constantly coming from his valet, he drew lines on the map with his hands, thinking seriously about Takeda's next move.
Naturally, he wasn't stupid—since Takeda captured Futamata Castle, the next step would naturally be Hamamatsu Castle where he was located.Not only is the distance between Futamata Castle and Hamamatsu Castle very close, and it has become easy to attack, but more importantly, if Hamamatsu Castle, which he regards as the main city, has been captured, the morale of the Tokugawa family will definitely be greatly affected. With the escape from the army, the other half of Yuanjiang has become easy for Takeda Shingen, and it is not impossible to take down Mikawa in one go.
An army of [-], against Takeda's army of nearly [-]... Leaving aside the disadvantage in numbers, Ieyasu Tokugawa and Shingen Takeda are incomparable in terms of military skills alone.
Can we only defend the city and fight? However, even the naturally dangerous Futamata Castle fell after two months of defense, and it is impossible for Hamamatsu Castle to last long!Not to mention that the food in the city is impossible to support them in a protracted war!
"Then, if the Takeda army is going to attack Hamamatsu Castle... it will definitely have to cross the Tenryu River." Tokugawa Ieyasu said, "When he crosses the river, surprise Takeda!!"
This can be said to be quite reasonable - if the number of people can't be hard, then the only way is to take the road of surprise attack.
But at the next moment, Yasunari Sakakibara immediately objected: "—This won't work, Your Highness. Futamata Castle fell, and now we, with low morale and few troops, can't fight against Takeda, who has high morale!"
"But if you don't send troops, how can the defense of the city be more exhausting than Takeda's army!"
"At least right now is not the time to send troops—"
"No. It will be too late for the Takeda Army to cross the Tenryu River and line up in front of Hamamatsu Castle." Tokugawa Ieyasu insisted, "Master Nobunaga entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility, and I must repay his kindness." .”
Yasumasa Sakakihara: "..."
What important task did Nobunaga Oda entrust to you, why no one knows except you!
Did he curse something in the letter!
Sakakibara Komasa could only reluctantly make the last struggle: "...These members of the Oda family should have received Nobunaga's orders. Your Highness, why don't you ask Nobunaga's plan first?"
After receiving Sakakibara Komasa's helpless gaze, the general of the Oda family, Nobumori Sakuma, could only reluctantly say: "Yes. Your Highness has said that I hope Lord Tokugawa will not act rashly and fall into Takeda's scheme to lure the enemy."
Tokugawa Ieyasu frowned and said, "Is that so? Then I'll think of another way."
Yasomasa Sakakibara, who was still trying to persuade him just now, said: "...It would be best if you think like this."
——The governor of the Tokugawa family must have been cursed by Oda Nobunaga!
Regarding Tokugawa Ieyasu's enigmatic trust in Oda Nobunaga, Sakakihara Yasunaga felt both puzzled and headache.
If it is true that he was overwhelmed by Oda Nobunaga's charisma, then Tokugawa Ieyasu tried his best to establish a relationship with Genji and changed his surname to "Tokugawa" to add a huge bargaining chip to himself, which is enough to encroach on the position of general, and he has not wavered until now. how to explain
If you only have a relationship with Oda Nobunaga, then you are still unwilling to invest in Takeda until now, and you can be said to be obedient to Oda Nobunaga... How can this be explained?
Is it true that Tokugawa Ieyasu had a deep friendship with Oda Nobunaga when he was in Junfu? However, Tokugawa Ieyasu went to the Oda family as a hostage at that time, okay? At that time, because of Imagawa Yoshimoto's relationship, he attacked the Oda family's fortress, okay!
The deep relationship between these two people and the mystery of their relationship are also convincing.
It is completely unclear where the deep friendship between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga came from, Sakakibara Yasunaga could only kneel and sit under Tokugawa Ieyasu, comforting himself that at least Tokugawa Ieyasu did not act impulsively.Even if the Tokugawa family now has reinforcements from the Oda family, it is still difficult to resist Takeda, let alone the successive failures in supporting Futamata Castle. Everyone is already very afraid of Takeda and does not want to face it head-on.
However, it was too early for Sakakihara Komasa to feel relieved.
Within a quarter of an hour, Tokugawa Ieyasu's valet knelt on one knee in front of the door and reported to Tokugawa Ieyasu quickly: "Your Highness! The Takeda Army is heading north from Mikatahara along Hime Street!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu stood up immediately, his face paled in shock: "——Takeda actually wants to attack Gifu!"
Sakakibara Komasa: "No, Your Highness, there is no need for the Takeda Army to abandon Hamamatsu Castle to attack Gifu, which has many branches and is farther away—"
"Order the whole army! Ready to go out at any time!"
Sakakihara Komasa: "..." I knew it.
For now, forget about the mysterious friendship between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga... The most important thing is how to persuade Tokugawa Ieyasu to come down! !
"Your Highness—Even if Takeda goes north, the target is absolutely impossible to be Gifu! Once we turn around and attack Gifu, then if our side is dispatched, Takeda's army will inevitably face a situation of fighting on two fronts. At the same time, the front will be stretched, and the supply line will be vulnerable to attack. This is undoubtedly giving up a good situation and changing a disadvantage!" Yasumasa Sakakibara stretched out a hand trying to call Tokugawa Ieyasu's attention, "According to the current situation, the target of the Takeda Army must still be the Tokugawa family!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu: "I know, Kodaira."
Sakakihara Komasa: "... Judging from your reaction just now, I really can't tell."
"However, Takeda doesn't necessarily take the Tokugawa family seriously. It's not impossible to directly ignore Hamamatsu Castle if he wants to find Mr. Nobunaga in a decisive battle." Tokugawa Ieyasu said very rationally, "And In addition to attacking Gifu, Takeda may also attack Mikawa—by then our connection with the Oda family will be severed, how can we talk about other things!"
The future lord of the world with round cheeks said sonorously: "We can carry out a surprise attack on Takeda in Sanfangyuan."
As soon as he said this, the retainers present were almost stunned.
And Tokugawa Ieyasu is still talking freely: "No matter whether the target is Gifu or Mikawa, as long as the Takeda Army wants to advance around Hamamatsu Castle from Mikatahara, it will inevitably turn its back on Hamamatsu Castle. Mikatahara is a raised platform, and we are about to cross it in Takeda Mikatahara, launch a surprise attack from behind the Takeda army when going down the steep slope!"
He actually considered all aspects and couldn't find a loophole at all!
"But what if this is just Takeda's scheme to lure us out of the city?" Sakakibara Komasa was also moved by it for a while, but he still asked rationally.
"Then wait—send troops near Mikatahara to attack the flank of the Takeda army." Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately replied, "If we really have no intention of attacking Hamamatsu Castle, then after we lead the army back to the city, Takeda will not Come after me!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu is actually a character who is familiar with the art of war. Even in Echizen (Queen of the Kanazaki Palace) and in Omi (Battle of Anegawa), the Tokugawa family, whose troops were thin, was Oda’s alliance in name, but in essence it was like an alliance of Oda. Tian's vassal, his talent is also hard to hide.
At least at this time, no one feels that there is anything missing here.It can even be said that Tokugawa Ieyasu has mastered both the timing and the method perfectly.
"Then, send some troops now... to Sanfangyuan!"
The time for the Takeda Army to spend Mikatahara will not be too short, but it will not be too long either. It can be said that the Tokugawa family must race against time if they want to complete this surprise attack.
The Tokugawa family quickly sprang into action.Soon, at 2 pm, Tokugawa Ieyasu received the information.
When Takeda discovered that the Tokugawa Army was on the flank, he quickly led his troops to the south and went straight to Hamamatsu Castle-and after the army withdrew, Takeda continued to advance north of Mikatahara!
It is indeed a bit embarrassing for the soldiers to make the act of fleeing.But since it was for the next surprise attack, no one would care about it at the moment - they used this to confirm one thing, the Takeda Army really didn't want to attack Hamamatsu Castle!
Tokugawa Ieyasu's idea has been verified.
Without any hesitation, Tokugawa Ieyasu issued an order for the entire army to dispatch——
Those who greeted him were the Takeda Army who had already lined up the fish-scale array.
...At this point, everything is over.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's grip on the reins was released at this moment.
If it is going forward, it is absolutely impossible for the Takeda army to list the fish-scale formation here... He originally expected that Takeda, who was going to the north, would have to face his back, but now he looked at it, and it was clear that the Takeda army was from the former army to the rear army. Lost one's own weaknesses.If it was a hasty fight, the Takeda army could not have reacted so quickly!
It was him...his thoughts were completely seen through by Takeda Shingen.
Whether it is going north, or changing to go north after making a southward trend, it is all a strategy to confuse him... Even the formations listed are all formations for concentrating troops to launch a fierce attack!This is clearly determined to trap him here!
He didn't follow Oda Nobunaga's advice "don't act rashly", so that he stepped into the trap of Takeda Shingen.And with his current strength and the deadly terrain of the three parties, it is impossible for him to list the retrograde formation——
"Array...crane wing array."
Tokugawa Ieyasu said almost choked up.
...Because of his rash move, they were destined to face a big defeat.
"Your Highness, now is not the time to retreat."
At this time, the samurai from Mikawa and the Matsudaira family still spoke beside him.
"You can't leave the reputation of fearing the enemy like a tiger, but please rest assured, we will definitely let you return to Hamamatsu Castle safely."
"It's the same with me - I'm willing to die for you."
Apart from nodding his head, Tokugawa Ieyasu had nothing else to say.
How hard it is to survive in troubled times - how hard it is!Like Oda Nobunaga, he is struggling to stand on his own from a restricted identity, but even if he becomes a daimyo, he can hardly control his own destiny!
Is the inheritance left by the parents so important, or is it that in such a troubled world, they are full of malice towards people with shallow foundations like them!
In such a world, there is no time to breathe... Even if the alliance supports each other, it is difficult to gain a foothold.
The Tokugawa family soon collapsed.Among them, Nobumori Sakuma hurriedly retreated, but Panxiu Tie of the Oda family was still killed in battle.
Suzuki Hisaburo, a samurai of the Tokugawa family, robbed Tokugawa Ieyasu's procurement (props for commanding operations) to pretend to be Tokugawa Ieyasu, and eventually died in battle.
Matsui Chuji put on Tokugawa Ieyasu's vermilion armor to distract the enemy.
Honda Tadakatsu, Sakakihara Yasomasa and Okubo Tadashi all rushed to the rescue.Honda Tadakatsu eventually became the third runner-up of the entire army.
……
Tokugawa Ieyasu was riding on the horse, not knowing what to do.
Natsume Yoshinobu, who was originally staying in Hamamatsu, also came to meet him, because Tokugawa Ieyasu retreated from the west in a large circle. Natsume Yoshinobu found that his horse was exhausted, and there were pursuers behind him, so he decisively changed horses with him. , and turned his horse's head in the direction of Hamamatsu Castle, slapped it hard with a knife, and then headed in the opposite direction with the twenty cavalry that were only brought out of the city.
Even sitting on a galloping horse in pain, the whistling wind in his ears could not stop Natsume Yoshinobu from roaring.
He said "I am Ieyasu"! !
From Mikatahara to Hamamatsu Castle, which is close at hand, there are already four substitutes for Tokugawa Ieyasu.
He made such a wrong judgment as the house governor, under the expectations of his retainers... how embarrassed should he go back! !
Tokugawa Ieyasu unknowingly burst into tears.
"My head, from Takeda's point of view, does it have an unavoidable value..."
He couldn't help muttering to himself, but his hand that had lost strength began to grasp the rein tightly again.
At this moment - a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes!
That is - a time-traveling army with a sharp sword and a scarred upper body!
They are densely remembered together, and in the narrow enough space between each other, there are still dense shadows lurking.Because Tokugawa Ieyasu had escaped, he naturally didn't have torches to illuminate his hands—but at this moment, the weird light from the eyes of these strange troops actually illuminated the area like daylight!
Tokugawa Ieyasu's complexion was uncertain for a moment.
He quickly remembered the troops coming from Asakura that he had seen from afar when the Empress Kanazaki was in charge... Could these strangely dressed people be Takeda's ambush soldiers?
...Takeda Shingen, it is too deep to hide—or, even Takeda had expected him to escape here
His dead retainers, his dead soldiers, after all, did they do useless work for him as the governor of the family!
Tokugawa Ieyasu's tears-soaked eyes did not shed tears again, but condensed anger, almost gritted his teeth and said: "——If you want to kill me, you all come!!"
Almost as soon as his words fell to the ground, those time-traveling troops rushed towards him! !
Then, wild samurai suddenly appeared from both sides, blocking the path of these enemy swordsmen with guns and ropes, and then raised the sword and blocked in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu!
A man with black and long hair like Ji Jun is riding on a horse, with a serious expression, but a little carefree smile on the corners of his lips, a pair of blue eyes that are different from ordinary people, shining like gemstones under those unusual lights, He ordered loudly: "Array - square array!!"
Then, behind the man, a man with strange pink hair appeared quietly, and walked up to Tokugawa Ieyasu's horse, with a very cold and slightly melancholy voice: "We are here to buy you time—— You must return to Hamamatsu Castle as soon as possible."
As he said this, facing the time-traveling army, he pulled out the knife that Tokugawa Ieyasu felt very familiar to his side.Almost instantly, his figure faded in Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes - then a white snake with only bones stepped on his companion's head and jumped towards Tokugawa Ieyasu, and then appeared in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu It was cut into two out of thin air!
Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly knew who these people were.
Except for the Koga ninjas of the Oda family, don't do what he wants.
Um.The body has been hollowed out.
Thanks Mr. S for mine.
There was no update yesterday, but [-] words were updated today... Well, the entire three-party war.
"Stop here. Izumi Mori will come and replace me as captain later."
In the cold wind, the handsome young man with pink hair and strangely colored eyes said so.
"There are still two days left, that's..."
——The Zhide Allied Forces were defeated by the Takeda Army in the Mikatahara Battle.
When Zong San Zuo Wenwen thought of this, he felt that there was a faint ups and downs in his heart.This is not because of the uneasiness about the difficulties that Saburo is about to face and the obstacles that can be judged by the time-traveling army, but because he is about to face the strong luck of Oda Nobunaga in history and witness him get rid of the crisis again Emotionally.

Zong Sanzuo finally said so.
Yes, at this time is December [-]th, the day when Nimata Castle fell in history.

Um.Moreover, for such a peculiar-looking existence as the Time Retrograde Army, it is okay to appear in troubled waters in a short period of time and in a small area. Once it moves too much, it may change history-the so-called "army that suddenly appeared on the battlefield", so A large impact will definitely attract inspections...

On Toujian Fusangshen's side, because of the weird time difference between the two orders before and after, the matter that caused others to burst into tears is not mentioned for the time being-Tokugawa Ieyasu's side is really bursting into tears.
... This is certainly not because the Oda family only sent a few thousand people, nor is it because the Futamata Castle fell into the hands of Takeda, which completely exposed Hamamatsu Castle to Takeda's eyes, and it is not because the Oda family's reinforcements arrived just after the Futamata Castle fell... …but along with the arrival of the reinforcements, in addition to many famous generals of the Oda family, such as Sakuma Nobumori, Hirate Panxiu, and Hayashi Xiuzhen, and even the senior generals of the chief family, there are also letters from Saburo (dictated by Mitsuhide Akechi) .
This can be said to be the first letter received by Ieyasu Tokugawa after he rejected Saburo's proposal to withdraw from Enjiang.
As a matter of fact, Tokugawa Ieyasu is not completely unconcerned about the lack of news about Saburo, especially because the pressure brought by Takeda is too great. A total of [-] troops cannot defend Futamata Castle. Until the city falls.He even wavered, but because of his childhood friendship with Saburo and his trust in Saburo, he still insisted on waiting for reinforcements.
Even with the addition of Saburo's reinforcements now, there are only 1000 soldiers in Hamamatsu Castle. Tokugawa Ieyasu felt relieved that the big stone had fallen, and he couldn't wait to read the letter.
Immediately afterwards, tears rolled out of his round eyes quickly.
"Nobunaga-sama...you actually value me so much..." Ieyasu Tokugawa choked up and said, "He actually thinks that he and I are talents who must never die at this time...and even sent a personal ninja to protect me... ..."
The vassals of the Oda family who just arrived and the vassals of the Tokugawa family who have been sitting for a long time: I don’t understand your friendship very well.
"I won't die at this time. For the 'history' Mr. Nobunaga called, the Tokugawa family will definitely hold on...until this net breaks!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been struggling to support before the arrival of the reinforcements, and even more energetic after the arrival of the reinforcements, said so.
"I will definitely defend Hamamatsu Castle!"
...In short, no matter what Tokugawa Ieyasu thinks, because of the sudden enthusiasm of the Tokugawa family governor, the gap between the Tokugawa family general and the Oda family's reinforcements has finally been eliminated a lot.
With both goals and motivation, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who will become a truly unifying role in the future, will naturally have a terrifyingly high mobility.He quickly fetched the map, and while listening to the movements of Takeda's army that were constantly coming from his valet, he drew lines on the map with his hands, thinking seriously about Takeda's next move.
Naturally, he wasn't stupid—since Takeda captured Futamata Castle, the next step would naturally be Hamamatsu Castle where he was located.Not only is the distance between Futamata Castle and Hamamatsu Castle very close, and it has become easy to attack, but more importantly, if Hamamatsu Castle, which he regards as the main city, has been captured, the morale of the Tokugawa family will definitely be greatly affected. With the escape from the army, the other half of Yuanjiang has become easy for Takeda Shingen, and it is not impossible to take down Mikawa in one go.
An army of [-], against Takeda's army of nearly [-]... Leaving aside the disadvantage in numbers, Ieyasu Tokugawa and Shingen Takeda are incomparable in terms of military skills alone.
Can we only defend the city and fight? However, even the naturally dangerous Futamata Castle fell after two months of defense, and it is impossible for Hamamatsu Castle to last long!Not to mention that the food in the city is impossible to support them in a protracted war!
"Then, if the Takeda army is going to attack Hamamatsu Castle... it will definitely have to cross the Tenryu River." Tokugawa Ieyasu said, "When he crosses the river, surprise Takeda!!"
This can be said to be quite reasonable - if the number of people can't be hard, then the only way is to take the road of surprise attack.
But at the next moment, Yasunari Sakakibara immediately objected: "—This won't work, Your Highness. Futamata Castle fell, and now we, with low morale and few troops, can't fight against Takeda, who has high morale!"
"But if you don't send troops, how can the defense of the city be more exhausting than Takeda's army!"
"At least right now is not the time to send troops—"
"No. It will be too late for the Takeda Army to cross the Tenryu River and line up in front of Hamamatsu Castle." Tokugawa Ieyasu insisted, "Master Nobunaga entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility, and I must repay his kindness." .”
Yasumasa Sakakihara: "..."
What important task did Nobunaga Oda entrust to you, why no one knows except you!
Did he curse something in the letter!
Sakakibara Komasa could only reluctantly make the last struggle: "...These members of the Oda family should have received Nobunaga's orders. Your Highness, why don't you ask Nobunaga's plan first?"
After receiving Sakakibara Komasa's helpless gaze, the general of the Oda family, Nobumori Sakuma, could only reluctantly say: "Yes. Your Highness has said that I hope Lord Tokugawa will not act rashly and fall into Takeda's scheme to lure the enemy."
Tokugawa Ieyasu frowned and said, "Is that so? Then I'll think of another way."
Yasomasa Sakakibara, who was still trying to persuade him just now, said: "...It would be best if you think like this."
——The governor of the Tokugawa family must have been cursed by Oda Nobunaga!
Regarding Tokugawa Ieyasu's enigmatic trust in Oda Nobunaga, Sakakihara Yasunaga felt both puzzled and headache.
If it is true that he was overwhelmed by Oda Nobunaga's charisma, then Tokugawa Ieyasu tried his best to establish a relationship with Genji and changed his surname to "Tokugawa" to add a huge bargaining chip to himself, which is enough to encroach on the position of general, and he has not wavered until now. how to explain
If you only have a relationship with Oda Nobunaga, then you are still unwilling to invest in Takeda until now, and you can be said to be obedient to Oda Nobunaga... How can this be explained?
Is it true that Tokugawa Ieyasu had a deep friendship with Oda Nobunaga when he was in Junfu? However, Tokugawa Ieyasu went to the Oda family as a hostage at that time, okay? At that time, because of Imagawa Yoshimoto's relationship, he attacked the Oda family's fortress, okay!
The deep relationship between these two people and the mystery of their relationship are also convincing.
It is completely unclear where the deep friendship between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga came from, Sakakibara Yasunaga could only kneel and sit under Tokugawa Ieyasu, comforting himself that at least Tokugawa Ieyasu did not act impulsively.Even if the Tokugawa family now has reinforcements from the Oda family, it is still difficult to resist Takeda, let alone the successive failures in supporting Futamata Castle. Everyone is already very afraid of Takeda and does not want to face it head-on.
However, it was too early for Sakakihara Komasa to feel relieved.
Within a quarter of an hour, Tokugawa Ieyasu's valet knelt on one knee in front of the door and reported to Tokugawa Ieyasu quickly: "Your Highness! The Takeda Army is heading north from Mikatahara along Hime Street!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu stood up immediately, his face paled in shock: "——Takeda actually wants to attack Gifu!"
Sakakibara Komasa: "No, Your Highness, there is no need for the Takeda Army to abandon Hamamatsu Castle to attack Gifu, which has many branches and is farther away—"
"Order the whole army! Ready to go out at any time!"
Sakakihara Komasa: "..." I knew it.
For now, forget about the mysterious friendship between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga... The most important thing is how to persuade Tokugawa Ieyasu to come down! !
"Your Highness—Even if Takeda goes north, the target is absolutely impossible to be Gifu! Once we turn around and attack Gifu, then if our side is dispatched, Takeda's army will inevitably face a situation of fighting on two fronts. At the same time, the front will be stretched, and the supply line will be vulnerable to attack. This is undoubtedly giving up a good situation and changing a disadvantage!" Yasumasa Sakakibara stretched out a hand trying to call Tokugawa Ieyasu's attention, "According to the current situation, the target of the Takeda Army must still be the Tokugawa family!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu: "I know, Kodaira."
Sakakihara Komasa: "... Judging from your reaction just now, I really can't tell."
"However, Takeda doesn't necessarily take the Tokugawa family seriously. It's not impossible to directly ignore Hamamatsu Castle if he wants to find Mr. Nobunaga in a decisive battle." Tokugawa Ieyasu said very rationally, "And In addition to attacking Gifu, Takeda may also attack Mikawa—by then our connection with the Oda family will be severed, how can we talk about other things!"
The future lord of the world with round cheeks said sonorously: "We can carry out a surprise attack on Takeda in Sanfangyuan."
As soon as he said this, the retainers present were almost stunned.
And Tokugawa Ieyasu is still talking freely: "No matter whether the target is Gifu or Mikawa, as long as the Takeda Army wants to advance around Hamamatsu Castle from Mikatahara, it will inevitably turn its back on Hamamatsu Castle. Mikatahara is a raised platform, and we are about to cross it in Takeda Mikatahara, launch a surprise attack from behind the Takeda army when going down the steep slope!"
He actually considered all aspects and couldn't find a loophole at all!
"But what if this is just Takeda's scheme to lure us out of the city?" Sakakibara Komasa was also moved by it for a while, but he still asked rationally.
"Then wait—send troops near Mikatahara to attack the flank of the Takeda army." Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately replied, "If we really have no intention of attacking Hamamatsu Castle, then after we lead the army back to the city, Takeda will not Come after me!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu is actually a character who is familiar with the art of war. Even in Echizen (Queen of the Kanazaki Palace) and in Omi (Battle of Anegawa), the Tokugawa family, whose troops were thin, was Oda’s alliance in name, but in essence it was like an alliance of Oda. Tian's vassal, his talent is also hard to hide.
At least at this time, no one feels that there is anything missing here.It can even be said that Tokugawa Ieyasu has mastered both the timing and the method perfectly.
"Then, send some troops now... to Sanfangyuan!"
The time for the Takeda Army to spend Mikatahara will not be too short, but it will not be too long either. It can be said that the Tokugawa family must race against time if they want to complete this surprise attack.
The Tokugawa family quickly sprang into action.Soon, at 2 pm, Tokugawa Ieyasu received the information.
When Takeda discovered that the Tokugawa Army was on the flank, he quickly led his troops to the south and went straight to Hamamatsu Castle-and after the army withdrew, Takeda continued to advance north of Mikatahara!
It is indeed a bit embarrassing for the soldiers to make the act of fleeing.But since it was for the next surprise attack, no one would care about it at the moment - they used this to confirm one thing, the Takeda Army really didn't want to attack Hamamatsu Castle!
Tokugawa Ieyasu's idea has been verified.
Without any hesitation, Tokugawa Ieyasu issued an order for the entire army to dispatch——
Those who greeted him were the Takeda Army who had already lined up the fish-scale array.
...At this point, everything is over.
Tokugawa Ieyasu's grip on the reins was released at this moment.
If it is going forward, it is absolutely impossible for the Takeda army to list the fish-scale formation here... He originally expected that Takeda, who was going to the north, would have to face his back, but now he looked at it, and it was clear that the Takeda army was from the former army to the rear army. Lost one's own weaknesses.If it was a hasty fight, the Takeda army could not have reacted so quickly!
It was him...his thoughts were completely seen through by Takeda Shingen.
Whether it is going north, or changing to go north after making a southward trend, it is all a strategy to confuse him... Even the formations listed are all formations for concentrating troops to launch a fierce attack!This is clearly determined to trap him here!
He didn't follow Oda Nobunaga's advice "don't act rashly", so that he stepped into the trap of Takeda Shingen.And with his current strength and the deadly terrain of the three parties, it is impossible for him to list the retrograde formation——
"Array...crane wing array."
Tokugawa Ieyasu said almost choked up.
...Because of his rash move, they were destined to face a big defeat.
"Your Highness, now is not the time to retreat."
At this time, the samurai from Mikawa and the Matsudaira family still spoke beside him.
"You can't leave the reputation of fearing the enemy like a tiger, but please rest assured, we will definitely let you return to Hamamatsu Castle safely."
"It's the same with me - I'm willing to die for you."
Apart from nodding his head, Tokugawa Ieyasu had nothing else to say.
How hard it is to survive in troubled times - how hard it is!Like Oda Nobunaga, he is struggling to stand on his own from a restricted identity, but even if he becomes a daimyo, he can hardly control his own destiny!
Is the inheritance left by the parents so important, or is it that in such a troubled world, they are full of malice towards people with shallow foundations like them!
In such a world, there is no time to breathe... Even if the alliance supports each other, it is difficult to gain a foothold.
The Tokugawa family soon collapsed.Among them, Nobumori Sakuma hurriedly retreated, but Panxiu Tie of the Oda family was still killed in battle.
Suzuki Hisaburo, a samurai of the Tokugawa family, robbed Tokugawa Ieyasu's procurement (props for commanding operations) to pretend to be Tokugawa Ieyasu, and eventually died in battle.
Matsui Chuji put on Tokugawa Ieyasu's vermilion armor to distract the enemy.
Honda Tadakatsu, Sakakihara Yasomasa and Okubo Tadashi all rushed to the rescue.Honda Tadakatsu eventually became the third runner-up of the entire army.
……
Tokugawa Ieyasu was riding on the horse, not knowing what to do.
Natsume Yoshinobu, who was originally staying in Hamamatsu, also came to meet him, because Tokugawa Ieyasu retreated from the west in a large circle. Natsume Yoshinobu found that his horse was exhausted, and there were pursuers behind him, so he decisively changed horses with him. , and turned his horse's head in the direction of Hamamatsu Castle, slapped it hard with a knife, and then headed in the opposite direction with the twenty cavalry that were only brought out of the city.
Even sitting on a galloping horse in pain, the whistling wind in his ears could not stop Natsume Yoshinobu from roaring.
He said "I am Ieyasu"! !
From Mikatahara to Hamamatsu Castle, which is close at hand, there are already four substitutes for Tokugawa Ieyasu.
He made such a wrong judgment as the house governor, under the expectations of his retainers... how embarrassed should he go back! !
Tokugawa Ieyasu unknowingly burst into tears.
"My head, from Takeda's point of view, does it have an unavoidable value..."
He couldn't help muttering to himself, but his hand that had lost strength began to grasp the rein tightly again.
At this moment - a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes!
That is - a time-traveling army with a sharp sword and a scarred upper body!
They are densely remembered together, and in the narrow enough space between each other, there are still dense shadows lurking.Because Tokugawa Ieyasu had escaped, he naturally didn't have torches to illuminate his hands—but at this moment, the weird light from the eyes of these strange troops actually illuminated the area like daylight!
Tokugawa Ieyasu's complexion was uncertain for a moment.
He quickly remembered the troops coming from Asakura that he had seen from afar when the Empress Kanazaki was in charge... Could these strangely dressed people be Takeda's ambush soldiers?
...Takeda Shingen, it is too deep to hide—or, even Takeda had expected him to escape here
His dead retainers, his dead soldiers, after all, did they do useless work for him as the governor of the family!
Tokugawa Ieyasu's tears-soaked eyes did not shed tears again, but condensed anger, almost gritted his teeth and said: "——If you want to kill me, you all come!!"
Almost as soon as his words fell to the ground, those time-traveling troops rushed towards him! !
Then, wild samurai suddenly appeared from both sides, blocking the path of these enemy swordsmen with guns and ropes, and then raised the sword and blocked in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu!
A man with black and long hair like Ji Jun is riding on a horse, with a serious expression, but a little carefree smile on the corners of his lips, a pair of blue eyes that are different from ordinary people, shining like gemstones under those unusual lights, He ordered loudly: "Array - square array!!"
Then, behind the man, a man with strange pink hair appeared quietly, and walked up to Tokugawa Ieyasu's horse, with a very cold and slightly melancholy voice: "We are here to buy you time—— You must return to Hamamatsu Castle as soon as possible."
As he said this, facing the time-traveling army, he pulled out the knife that Tokugawa Ieyasu felt very familiar to his side.Almost instantly, his figure faded in Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes - then a white snake with only bones stepped on his companion's head and jumped towards Tokugawa Ieyasu, and then appeared in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu It was cut into two out of thin air!
Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly knew who these people were.
Except for the Koga ninjas of the Oda family, don't do what he wants.
Um.The body has been hollowed out.
Thanks Mr. S for mine.
There was no update yesterday, but [-] words were updated today... Well, the entire three-party war.
