Chapter 1142 Fight to the death (for the new helmsman XE Earl
Takeda's big tent. After learning that Tokugawa Ieyasu was preparing to block him beyond his expectations, Takeda Shingen immediately said:
"After all, I'm still too young."
Takeda Shingen was slightly impressed by Tokugawa Ieyasu's courage and courage and smiled slightly, but he had to say that it was a scheming move. War cannot be determined by the determination and courage of a general alone. In front of Takeda's army, that kind of formation cannot echo each other at all.
Facing Tokugawa Ieyasu's crane wing formation, Takeda Shingen set up a fish-scale column. In this way, even if one of the teams was defeated, the enemy could not easily rush into the central army.
The pioneer was Nobushi Oyamada, followed by Masake Yama Prefecture, Masatoki Naito on the left, Masatoki Takeda on the right, Katsura Takeda, Nobusa Kobata behind the left, and Nobusa Takeda's main force was headed by Nobushi Masaya. If you advance in this formation, Tokugawa Ieyashi's crane wing formation immediately collapsed. Nobugen Takeda was both disappointed and a little happy about Tokugawa Ieyashi's youthful incompetence.
"Let's fight." Shinfang Machang said, "Since the other party comes to die, we don't have to bypass him."
Takeda Shingen still smiled.
"Can you definitely win?" Takeda Shingen asked deliberately. Takeda Shingen thought it was asking the Nobuya Nobuya, but in fact it was testing the Honor Rai. He wanted to hear his son's opinion. Previously, the legitimate son Takeda Yoshinobu was killed in battle at his normal school, and his wife's mother Suruga Imagawa family was annexed by the Tomeng Imagawa family. 2↑, ww︽w. He became a little decadent. The reason why he brought his son Kazura with him this time was to see how Kazura performed.
"No problem. If there is no decisive battle, you will lose the best fighter opportunity." As Takeda Shingen expected, his son Katsurai spoke indeed.
"What are the credentials?"
"The evidence is very simple. It's like cutting a tulle with a short knife." However, Takeda Shingen did not immediately issue a decisive order. Instead, he said, "Call Muro Nishi Nobutsu." Among the generals around Takeda Shingen, Muro Nishi Nobutsu was the most cautious person.
After Muro He Nobutsu was called, he said, "Take the hennai Toru to investigate. During this period, the team can build a stove and cook. Whether it is fighting or marching, the most important thing in winter is to fill your stomach."
The morning mist was still very thick. Of course, it was impossible to make fire here to make meals. After the soldiers of the army simply finished eating and drinking, Muro He Shinjoon came back.
"As Uehara Nodo Detention Center said, I think that the war can be started immediately."
"Oh, even you say that? Sir, start a war, and Nobuki Oyamada takes the lead in attacking. Don't attack hard. If you feel a strong obstacle, retreat immediately and replace it with other teams. Attack in turn."
"Yes." The generals answered in unison and directed the team to advance.
In fact, Takeda Shingen was ready for a decisive battle from the moment he knew that the other party had put the crane wing formation. He did not immediately give an order. He deliberately pretended to be cautious, on the one hand, to reprimand and test his son. On the other hand, he reminded the entire army not to take it lightly.
The huge fish scale array began to move. At the same time, Torii Shiro Saemon Tadahiro finally made up his mind to come and persuade Tokugawa Ieyasu for the last time. Tokugawa Ieyasu made a bonfire ignite in front of him, proudly holding his hands, slightly closing his eyes. The temperature suddenly dropped. The sky was always covered with haze, and there was no trace of sunshine. Morning fog was in the tent from time to time.
"Report." Torii Shiro Saemon Tadahiro entered the tent.
"What's the matter?" Tokugawa Ieyasu asked in a stern tone, his eyes still slightly closed. Torii Tadahiro was Motochat's younger brother, and he was not inferior to his elder brother in terms of courage; his wisdom was close to his father Tadayoshi.
"Sir! You look very bad."
"Stop talking, what's the matter?"
"Silo had to tell his master what he saw and wanted: Today's battle will be against us..."
"Know."
"The enemy is full of troops and is prepared. Even if we defeat them, reinforcements will come continuously, and we will eventually find it difficult to support us."
Tokugawa Ieyasu had an answer. His eyes were still slightly closed, but the muscles on his cheeks were shaking.
"Sir! I'd better retreat to the city, so Takeda Shingen will leave without fighting."
"Bad!" Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly opened his eyes, "I knew that kind of thing several months ago. Don't be clever!"
"Sir, Shiro just asked you to return to the city, and did not say that they could pass smoothly."
"What?"
"I mean, rather than fighting here, it is better to pretend to retreat and avoid this dangerous place, and choose to launch a fierce attack from behind when the enemy is about to reach Hirota. Although this cannot guarantee victory, it is enough to show the samurai character of our Okazaki people."
"Shut up! Do you think Tokugawa Ieyasu is the kind of person who makes decisions easily? Coward!"
"This is not like what the adults said. When did I, Shiro Saemon, escape at the battle?"
"It does not prove that you are a warrior. When the army is approaching, you are a coward. If we are even shaken by ourselves, can Oda's reinforcements still fight? Bastard!"
Shiro remained silent. He stared at Tokugawa Ieyasu with resentment. There was no one more impulsive than Tokugawa Ieyasu. He must have been confused by something! Shiro thought. And Tokugawa Ieyasu thought, how could this guy understand my thoughts? He was extremely sad.
People can only try their best to think about it. The ending can only be decided by God. Instead of being a city lord in silence, it is better to pray that God will let himself die on the battlefield. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu cannot express this state of mind clearly to everyone, it can be said that he is mature enough to fight against fate.
"Sir, it seems that you have made up your mind. Are I a coward? Please wait and see. I will let you change your opinion." Tadaohiro said in a low and powerful manner, and suddenly stood up and walked out of the tent.
Time passes little by little in the bitter cold wind. It has passed noon.
The army of Takeda's family moved forward in a solemn manner in the cold wind, pressing towards Nagaohara hard and heavy. Tadsai Okubo's brothers Tadasa and Yasuta Shibata came to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Lord! The enemy is only half a mile away from us, please prepare to order!"
"Oh." Tokugawa Ieyasu responded.
The two of them walked out of the tent with their heads high, and opened their mouths and shouted: "Little ones."
"Wait!" They were blocked by Hanzo Watanabe.
"It's all at this critical moment, what are you waiting for?"
"Wait." Hanzo repeated, "Does the lord still stick to his own opinion?"
"Where is a general who doesn't persist?"
"It's so strange." Hanzo lowered his voice and tilted his head, "Look at it, the enemy's formation is like an iron wall, but we are so thin. We must try to stop the lord..."
"Hanzo, do you want to hurt morale?"
"This is not a matter of morale. I am worried about my lord. I want to remind him again, can you see? Zhongzuo..."
Hanzo's voice seemed to be reaching Tokugawa Ieyasu's ears.
"No, Hanzo." Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly came outside the tent and slowly looked up at the sky. The wind blew the flag and whistled, feeling the breath of winter snow. "It's going to snow. Wind and defeat are in the sky, and the battle is to the death."
