Chapter 1226: Five Elements Attributes Diving into Five Cities and Five Cities Surrounding Noda City
Tokugawa Ieyasu's lips trembled, he looked at Sakai Chuji and said:
"Sakai, what should we do? Tell Tadakatsu to stand down?"
Sakai Chuji frowned and said nothing in thought...
"Lord, we must not retreat. The only way to defeat the enemy is to capture it in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, it will greatly damage the lord’s reputation for bravery and majesty in controlling the Three Rivers and Far River area!”
Okubo Tadashi was indeed a rare important minister of the Tokugawa family and had an unparalleled reputation. His words were loud and clear, and no one opposed him.
"My lord, I second the proposal!"
Honda Masabu stood up and agreed.
Sanada Shini, Ii Naomasa, Hattori Hanzo and several other retainers looked at each other and helplessly agreed:
"Please, my lord, increase your troops and capture the two abyss in one fell swoop."
Tokugawa Ieyasu squinted his eyes and said solemnly to himself:
"It seems that the Takeda family has concentrated all its iron cannons in Ryugabuchi, but what about the other Kuwabubuchi? Are they all Ashigaru Hatakemoto?"
After saying that, Ieyasu stood up suddenly, looked at the loyal retainers with sharp eyes, and said sternly:
"Matsudaira Yasutada and Naito Masashige, I order you to take three thousand banners of our clan and attack Kuwanobuchi immediately.
Remember, we must occupy it as quickly as possible to give the Tokugawa family and Honda Tadakatsu a little confidence."
"ha!"
"ha!"
The two generals, Matsudaira Yasutada and Naito Masashige, stood up and agreed to the promise. Their armors creaked and they strode out of the formation. They ordered three thousand ashigaru and led the army towards Kuwazhiyuan...
Tokugawa Ieyasu sat down slowly. He couldn't bear to say that Xiao Benta Tadakatsu...
"My lord! How about you, my lord, lead another thousand banners to support Lord Tadakatsu to increase his momentum?"
Sanada Masayuki's younger brother, Sanada Nobuyin, was very good at observing people's behavior and stood up immediately to give advice.
"Sou Ga! Very good, just do as you say."
Ieyasu nodded with satisfaction. With thousands of reinforcements, Honda Tadakatsu should have no problem attacking the small Dragon Deep.
He didn't believe it. The Takeda army stationed in Longzhiyuan and resisted were not human beings?
……………………
In Ryuzhiyuan, the old driver led the Takeda family's iron artillery team, and life was not easy...
"Report to the first-grade general that the barrels of the iron cannons could not withstand such intensive shooting, and more than a dozen of them exploded."
"There's not much ammunition left..."
The old driver’s eyes widened and he was still waving his hands and giving orders:
"Third row, prepare, aim, fire!"
"Nani? A bunch of idiots. They took off their pants and peed into the barrel of a gun? Did they drink horse broth in the morning for nothing?"
The old driver was furious when he heard this and immediately gave a solution. After thinking about it, he added:
"Find some mountain springs, fill them in iron buckets, and cool them one by one."
The shortage of ammunition, especially fixed ammunition, is a flaw...
"Order, put the person in and then shoot, fifty meters - no! Within thirty meters, I guarantee that one shot will knock down a soldier."
By the way! Didn't I prepare dozens of small explosive bags for throwing, and find a dozen Ashigaru who are more accurate in throwing spears to come to my place and wait for orders..."
The veteran driver stared at the Tokugawa troops arriving from the bottom of the mountain with additional troops, turned his head and said with a ferocious smile.
……………………
On the other side of the mountainside, Sanada Yukimura, who was less than twenty years old, led hundreds of remaining iron artillery soldiers, squatting in the mountain forest, silently observing the fierce battle taking place on the Dragon's Abyss a few hundred meters away...
The short exchange of fire completely amazed Sanada Yukimura!
He didn't expect that the artillery soldiers with modified ammunition could be so fierce?
An idea gradually took shape in Sanada Yukimura's mind!
This idea will change the current power structure of the Warring States Period in Japan, and many famous names will die and their families will be destroyed.
Sanada Yukimura thought in his heart:
"The Takeda family, under the leadership of the head of the family, Takeda Shiba, should quickly change the strategic focus of weapons from a war dominated by cold weapons to one dominated by hot weapons.
In particular, the ashigaru, archers, and even auxiliary soldiers can all be transformed into artillery soldiers. This does not require much bravery, let alone physical fitness and samurai spirit.
Even the Chibei Cavalry can be turned into a mobile fort. As long as you can ride a horse and shoot, you will have long-distance and fierce attack power. Who can't do it?"
The glory of the Takeda family is coming...
In this life, I must not betray the Takeda family at this time. My father's behavior of being a weak person is not advisable...
One day when the family governor Takeda Shiba is here, if all the retainers rebel, there will definitely be no good end...
Sanada Yukimura's thoughts were interrupted by a report...
"Yukimura, the Tokugawa army is coming, coming towards Kuwabuchi... about three thousand ashigaru, led by two generals, Matsudaira Yasutada and Naito Masashige."
A veteran of the Sanada family who was responsible for protecting Yukimura quietly walked behind Sanada Yukimura to report.
Sanada Yukimura flashed his cold eyes and chuckled:
"Sigh! Listen to my orders and arrange the arrangements strictly according to the methods taught by First Grade General Tomson! Remember, you must wait for my order before you can fire..."
"Wow!"
Sanada Yukimura drew out the sword from his waist and roared:
"Iron artillery team, form a three-stage attack formation! Get ready for battle!"
"ha!"
Hundreds of iron cannon ashigaru, after witnessing the battle at Ryuzhiyuan not far away, their morale is high and their confidence is a hundred times higher!
The God of War Honda Tadakatsu led 2,000 men to attack Ryuzhiyuan. After a huge defeat, he was stopped on the mountainside, with more than half of the casualties!
And, Sang Zhiyuan will definitely become another Dragon Abyss...
…………………………
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Rumble..."
While the battle was raging, a series of violent explosions came from the Dragon Abyss.
Sanada Nobuyin, who was supporting Honda Tadakatsu, had just led his team to the foot of the mountain when he saw the sky-high flames and violent explosions on the mountainside.
The earth-shattering explosion and the broken limbs flying all over the sky completely frightened Honda Tadakatsu's remaining 700-800 ashigaru.
Sanada Nobuyin's eyes flickered, hesitating a little...
"My lord! The master of the family, Masayuki Sanada, has sent a group of ninjas, Ura Morikiyoshi, to come and interrogate."
A retainer whom Sanada Nobuyin trusted quietly reported.
"Please!"
Sanada Nobuyin made an instant decision.
Wearing a short black robe, holding a sword on his waist, and with a three-inch black beard, Ideura Morikiyoshi quietly lurked into Sanada Shini's main formation.
"Deura Morikiyoshi, my eldest brother asked you to come here. Why?"
Xinyi looked at Sanada, the famous ninja leader, and asked calmly.
The two brothers of the Sanada family each served his master, which was the only way to survive in the Warring States Period.
It was not only the Sanada family who did this, but also the father and son of the Kuroda family.
"The head of the family, Changxing, asked me to tell Xinyi that it is time to follow the general trend..."
Deura Morikiyoshi looked at Sanada Shini, turned around quickly after saying this, and disappeared in an instant.
Seeing Deura Morikiyo coming and going like a ghost, and then looking at the deserted lawn, Sanada Shini still added in response:
"I have received the letter from the head of the family."
One of my subordinates, an old minister, said with twinkling eyebrows:
"Lord?"
Sanada Shinyi's eyes were struggling fiercely, and he turned his head and asked:
"With these thousands of additional Ashigaru members, how many of them do the Sanada family control?"
"half!"
The old minister responded softly, then added his advice with a sinister smile:
"If the lord has the idea to make an emergency, he can also take the remaining half hostage and follow the Sanada family's ashigaru in ignorance to attack any enemy designated by the lord!"
"Oh? Let me think about it again. Lord Tokugawa is generous and patient. He is a rare family governor..."
After Sanada Shini frowned, he hesitated.
"This is the time to make great achievements! Otherwise, the head of the Masachi family would not take the risk of destroying his family and send his number one ninja here..."
The old minister's eyebrows flashed, and he hit the mark after thinking.
"Target?"
Sanada Shini slowly stood up, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, then suddenly ordered:
"There are drastic changes in Dragon Abyss. Honda Tadakatsu's army is about to collapse. We don't need to pay attention...
Pass my order and the Ashigaru troops will quickly reroute to Kuwabuchi, which is half a mile away."
"ha!"
The veteran nodded and said:
"Target?"
Sanada Shini said with a cruel smile:
"This, needless to say? The icing on the cake is not as good as giving timely help. Let's attack the rear of Matsudaira Yasutada and Naito Masashige's Three Thousand Ashigaru!"
……………………
Sanada Nobui, caught by surprise by the Tokugawa army, suddenly turned his army and attacked Matsudaira Yasutada. Naito led three thousand ashigaru in the rear, causing chaos!
Yukimura Sanada, who was stationed at Kuwabuchi, promptly issued an order for the artillery team to counterattack the Tokugawa Army from a high altitude:
"Destiny! The artillery team advanced slowly, quickly fired at Yamashita Matsudaira Yasutada, Naito Masashige's troops, and responded to uncle Shini's attack..."
The defeat of the Tokugawa Army happened in an instant...
At this time, in the main formation of the Takeda family, the figure of the family governor Liu Shiba was not seen...
He stood alone in a hidden corner of the hill, counting something with his fingers, and muttered:
"The attributes of the five elements are hidden in the five cities. The five cities surround Noda Castle. What's weird here? Is there any ancient tomb under Noda Castle that can change luck..."
