Anhara Zhongyin is quite self-aware. He knows very well that he does not have the ability and skill of his uncle Taiyuan Xuezhai, and the rewards he relies on are so unfair in the eyes of other family members. He walked towards the position of general amid huge criticism. The location inevitably carries a heavy psychological burden. The Satao Pass is close to the sea and is also known as a dangerous mountain pass that one does not know and one does not know. It has always been called one of the three most difficult places on the Tokaido Road.
As a local indigenous warrior, Anhara Tadayin could still distinguish where it would be more effective to fight against the Takeda Army. This place was chosen just on the path that the Takeda Army must pass through, so it took a lot of thought to arrange it. From the surface, You see, setting up this formation here is a plan to lure the Takeda Army into Suruga Kingdom and give it a severe blow, but in fact this is Suruga's last line of defense.
Anhara Tadayin's idea still followed the old routine, that is, a head-to-head battle between horses and horses. The Imagawa family relied on the convenient location and the morale of the guardian family was higher. If the Takeda army dared to rush over, they would give it a head-on blow. A quick beating will knock you back. Even if the Takeda army cannot defeat the Takeda army, they can always rely on Satao Pass to defend it to the death. If it continues, Takeda Shingen will be forced to retreat one day.
But he didn't understand one thing. The war was far from being as simple as he imagined. This was not the case in the Genpei-Kamakura era when the two sides squared off and played a cavalry battle. The victor's morale was greatly boosted and the entire army launched an assault to seal the victory in one fell swoop. With the continuous progress of the martial arts society, new tactical systems were gradually enriched. In marching and fighting, success or failure was no longer judged by individual martial prowess, but by multiple considerations such as military strategy, strategy, and the skills of the emperor.
The main force of Anwara Tadayin is guarding Sataki Pass, while Ogura Uchizosuke Shihisa and Okabe Chubei Naokuki are responsible for the defense of Hachimanping in the north of Satō Pass. As the governor of the family, Imagawa Ujima also went out with the army. It was just that he was delayed. He was enjoying himself and couldn't stand the smelly military camp where a group of men lived together in the army. He chose to set up his main camp at Kiyomiji Temple not far from Satou Pass.
Imagawa Clan himself was not very good at military strategy. In addition to the 15,000 troops led by Anhara Tadayin, this time he also moved his 3,000 honbu to Kiyomiji Temple, which was his father's It was left to his elite confidants, who were usually reluctant to use it, but it would be impossible not to use it now.
When discussing with his confidants, Imagawa Shima said: "The Takeda army has 16,000, and my family has 18,000. Judging from the strength of the troops, our army seems to be larger than the Takeda army! Even if we cannot defeat Takeda, The army can definitely keep them out of Suruga Country! I hope Anfang Mamoru will live up to my family's expectations and guard this level for my Imagawa family."
In the face of such a governor who lacked military knowledge, it was a bit nonsense to expect him to be able to boost morale before the battle. Early the next morning, Takeda Shingen mobilized 16,000 troops to attack Satao Pass in a mighty manner. At that time, Mr. Imagawa was still immersed in a wonderful sleep and hadn't woken up. This pampered noble man had slept in an unfamiliar room last night and had no sound sleep. He needed to sleep a little longer now to make up for his beauty sleep. .
Takeda Shingen personally led the army out of the battle, but Anhara Tadayin was greatly frightened. He quickly ordered the generals of each formation to be more vigilant and guard against death. They must not be careless and mess up the formation. The Takeda army on the opposite side did not seem to put the Imagawa army on the Sato Pass at all. In his eyes, even though there were 15,000 troops on the opposite side, there was no intention of adjusting, so he ordered the four leaders of the Baba Civil Affairs Department, Nobuharu, Naito, Ryo Masayo, Akiyama Hoshi, Nobutomo, and Saege to conduct the survey, led by Zaemon Weimomomo. Formation. Heading straight for Satao Pass to attack.
The first round of battle between the two sides started with the blind firing of the iron artillery team. The ping-pong-pong-ping iron artillery rumbled non-stop. The four seemingly unrelated vanguard formations actually echoed each other, and each round was in unison.
The fire was all aimed at the Imagawa Army's advance formation, and although the effect was not very impressive, it was still better than nothing.
Anhara Tadayin did not have such high-end and high-end iron cannon tactics. He just allowed the iron cannon ashigaru from each reserve team to get together and shoot out the lead bullets. It seemed that he was not shooting with iron cannons but just using this thing.
A blast was made to boost the morale of one's own side. The end of an iron artillery exchange that had far greater symbolic meaning than actual effect meant that the real battle had begun.
The samurai from both sides lined up neatly in three gun squads to confront each other, and the slow pace of attack lasted for the whole morning. This war of attrition, which was without any fancy and with almost no losses, was very boring. It wasn't until Imagawa finally woke up and had lunch that he received the news.
The offensive of both sides has slowed down, and it seems that they are preparing to retreat and have lunch before continuing the battle.
But at this time, a very strange thing happened. The four generals of the Imagawa Army, Sena Nobuteru, Asahina Nobuyuki, Miura Yoshikage, and Katsurayama Ujimoto, suddenly broke away from the retreat sequence and began to retreat in large strides.
Behind these four people were seventeen generals who also retreated quickly. The retreating Takeda family suddenly changed direction and came back to fight, which shocked Anwara Tadayin.
Anhara Tadayin ordered the front line to withstand the Takeda Army's attack, and hurriedly issued an order: "Quickly inform the generals to stop retreating! The Takeda Army's deceiver has come back again!"
But his general order seemed to be thrown into the water without any reply. The four generals and the remaining ten generals gathered more than 8,000 troops and retreated back with their heads down, without even explaining that they were going to eat.
They did not stop to make corresponding adjustments, which made Anhara Tadayin begin to doubt their motives.
"Where are they going to retreat to, and why do they listen to my orders? Is their posture luring the enemy deep and then attacking from both sides, or is it some strange tactic? But why have I never heard them mention this contingency plan?
, if they continue to retreat like this, they will exit Satao Pass!"
Anhara Tadayin was so worried that he was sweating profusely. Originally, the fifteen thousand troops had suffered a big loss when they resisted the Takeda Army's sixteen thousand troops. Now let these people take away the eight thousand troops and expect this
How long 7,000 men can hold on is still a serious problem. He suddenly feels that fighting for this general seems to be a trap for him. He does not have enough prestige to support the next general, which is simply asking for trouble.
The envoys sent out returned one day without bringing any accurate recovery. Seeing that these people were really about to withdraw from Satao Pass, Anhara Zhongyin finally realized that he had been fooled and said angrily: "I said their actions were weird. Look.
The direction of their retreat seems to be to go to the lord! Are they going towards the lord? These rebels! I, Zhongyin, will never let you go!"
The samurai of the Imagawa Army panicked. Anwara Anfang Mamochu Tadayin had no intention of continuing to fight. He immediately ordered the entire army to retreat to protect the main formation of Kiyomiji Temple and protect Imagawa Clan. The retreat of the Imagawa Army seemed to be entirely under the control of the Takeda Army.
As expected, Takeda Shingen ordered these four formations to continue to serve as the vanguard and bite the tail of the Imagawa army to continue the pursuit.
The chase continued all the way to the outside of Sunfu Castle. The Imagawa family, who had just regained their position, learned that twenty people including Nobuteru Sena, Nobuyuki Asahina, Yoshikage Miura, and Gen Katsurayama
All the retainers of a powerful family rebelled and joined the Takeda family. This betrayal also gave eight thousand elite troops to the Takeda army. It was really a great gift to the Takeda army.
Imagawa almost fainted when he heard the news. In the evening of the same day, there was a rumor from the townspeople walking on the street that four generals of the Takeda Army had appeared in Ubahara near Sunpu Castle. This news made Imagawa
The whole family was in turmoil, and the Imagawa family quickly held a military meeting to discuss countermeasures.
At the same time, another piece of bad news came from Yue River. Matsudaira Ieyasu of Mikawa seemed to smell some blood, so he took advantage of the massive invasion of the Takeda Army to immediately gather 6,000 troops and gathered near Yoshida in Mikawa Province.
Across the country's border, there seems to be a strong intention to take advantage of the current Sichuan family's illness and kill him.
Another bad news also came from Toe Country. Mifu Castle was extended to Banbori Koshirokuro clan. The lord of Hima Castle (Hikima Castle), Iio Yuumae, guarded Renryu.
A large number of people from the Toe country such as the city lord Amano An Yun guarding Hujing, as well as the Ii clan whose family governor was killed, rebelled. It seems that this should also be one of Takeda Shingen's strategies.
The Imagawa family was so panicked that he couldn't even speak. You can imagine how confused the family members were. If he hadn't invited his old and frail grandmother Sukini Imagawa to calm down the situation, I'm afraid that even this family would be in trouble.
Even a symbolic military meeting could not be convened smoothly. Even so, the family clan group was still a mess.
Okabe Mino Morimasatsuna of the Peace Party said: "Mikawa rebelled against Toe's sudden change, and now Suruga Kingdom is falling into the invasion of Takeda Army. We can rely on Hojo Sagami Temple to face the Kira Army's invasion and be unable to escape. It seems that we have already
There is no escape route to choose from. The only solution for now is to seek peace with the Takeda Daisenden in exchange for a decent status! I think the marriage relationship between the Suruga Imagawa clan and the Kai Takeda clan should not lead to my death."
Yui Deha Mamoru Masazumi was obviously a militant. He objected fiercely: "I have never heard that my home was invaded by bandits. Instead of raising my sword and gun, I took the initiative to seek peace from the bandits. Although my Imagawa family is here today,
The embarrassment also has the motherboard helpless, but this does not mean that my Imagawa family has no chance of winning. We only have to endure the temporary embarrassment and take the initiative to send a letter of request for help to the town lord who is besieging Sagami. I think the town guild will give some for the sake of the same clan.
Give preferential treatment and let Hojo Sagami Mamoru's reinforcements enter Suruga to fight."
This was an idealistic statement that fit the Imagawa clan's true taste, so he immediately agreed with Yui Masazumi's opinion. This made some warriors of the Lord's faction feel very disappointed. That night, many Lord's and Lord's warriors
The samurai were sent to leave Sunfu and fall into the arms of the Takeda Army outside the city. The samurai who remained in the city also faced tremendous psychological pressure.
As soon as it dawned the next morning, the main formation of the Takeda Army in Ubahara had swelled from the original 16,000 to more than 26,000. The extra 10,000 people were naturally the Imagawa clan.
The dedication of friendship made many warriors of the Takeda Army so excited that they almost stayed up all night. No one expected that the Imagawa family would turn out to be paper strong men.
It just collapsed like this with just a light touch. This action is not even a warm-up exercise for the Takeda Army. The fierce battle of Kawanakajima is enough to completely destroy this small battle for more than 18 streets.
In just a few days, a small-scale low-intensity battle swallowed up half of Suruga. This speed was even faster than the actions of the Kira Army in Musashi Province.
The cost of expansion is too low, which makes the Takeda army unstoppably more ambitious. If they swallow Suruga and Toga in one gulp, and then wait for an opportunity to invade Mikawa, they can easily complete a breakout, and then completely get rid of the Kira family's strong stranglehold on Kai country.
, this idea was not only thought by the Takeda retainers, but Takeda Shingen himself also had some ambitions to dominate Tōkaido.
Takeda Shingen did not intend to give Imagawa clan more time to think about life choices. He ordered Takeda Nobushige to lead a force of 5,000 troops to attack the 7,000 defenders of Anbo Anbo Tadashi. After the ugly battle at Satagawa Pass,
The verification is enough for the Takeda Army to have a full understanding of the level of the Imagawa Army. Sending Takeda Nobushige's five thousand elites to deal with the seven thousand panicked defenders is already a very prudent response. Under normal circumstances, sending thousands of Japanese soldiers
The army and even the Suruga Sengata people in Go Castle can deal with them.
Takeda Nobushige didn't mind pulling his son out for training at this time. The five thousand troops launched an attack posture one after another and defeated the Anhara army who had no fighting spirit as soon as they engaged. The Imagawa army's weak will to fight was greatly exposed.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, signs of retreat appeared to varying degrees almost at the moment of the battle. From the beginning to the end, no warrior took the initiative to fight. If the warriors didn't charge, how could they expect the peasants and soldiers to charge? The peasants and soldiers took a look at the situation.
When something bad happened, he immediately turned around and scrambled to escape back to Sunfu Castle.
The Assassin's Castle Town of Sunfu was also in chaos. The samurai ashigaru who were preparing to flee back to the city and the townspeople who were preparing to flee were crowded together. The samurai and ashigaru wanted to escape inside for refuge, while the townspeople were escaping toward the outside. Both sides were crowded and unwilling.
It is completely outrageous to let the other party cause the entire Sunfu City to be in chaos. The ministers, monks and cultural figures who have stayed in Sunfu City all year round were so frightened that they hid in their houses and pretended that they did not exist. Beautifully dressed young women did not dare to go out.
The social order has almost collapsed.
Yuhi Masazumi, who was promoted to the clan elder last night, hurriedly suggested: "My lord! Takeda Shingen's army is about to enter the city. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time! Your Majesty, I would like to ask my lord to move to other cities immediately. In any case, this
We absolutely cannot stay in Sunfu Castle any longer!"
Imagawa fully understood the danger he encountered, and he could no longer think of fighting to the death or committing suicide. In despair, he suddenly remembered the tragic death of his wise and powerful father, Okehazama, and his two good brothers-in-law.
Kira Yoshiyasu and Takeda Yoshinobu died at the hands of thieves, and he thought about the two hateful faces of Matsudaira Ieyasu and Takeda Shingen, and how they would humiliate him if they caught him.
At this critical moment, Imagawa finally showed some ability as a family governor, and suddenly remembered that his sworn brother Asahina Yatotomo was the only trusted minister. Asahina Yasutomo's mother was the niece of Imagawa Jugini, who happened to be
We have a very close kinship relationship with the Imagawa clan, and it's completely okay to even call her Miyuki.
Shun Enzo fell into chaos at the same time, forcing the Imagawa family to a dead end and pushing the Imagawa clan to the cliff. Thinking of his fate to become the governor of the subjugated country, the Imagawa clan hurriedly said: "Retreat to Kakegawa Castle, only Asahina Bei Zhongshou is the general our family can rely on!"
