Tokugawa Ieyasu frowned, looked at Taibo cautiously and asked:
"Go into details."
Tadashi Tahobo looked at Hattori Hanzo beside him, thought for a few seconds and then replied:
"Lord! I think Hattori Hanzo can answer your doubts. I wonder if my lord has thought carefully about why Chibei, with only 300 riders, dared to ambush and stop us in Hime Street? What does he have to rely on?"
Ieyasu flicked his wrist, anxiously listening to the tragic shouts coming from not far away, and said sternly:
"Hattori Hanzo? Say."
Hattori Hanzo nodded, took one step forward and said respectfully:
"Have you forgotten, my lord? Who owns the Takeda family's riding team?"
"Nani?"
Ieyasu was stunned and looked at the retainers whose expressions changed drastically.
"The important minister of the Takeda family is Ito Noburyu. He is the leader of the Takeda Cavalry. He has three thousand private soldiers under his banner. It is said that he is a cavalry."
"Hattori Hanzo, what do you think?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was vomiting loudly, raised his head and looked at the famous ninja leader.
"The Tokugawa family must retreat, but it is not advisable to forcefully attack the Akabi Cavalry blocking Hime Street."
Hattori Hanzo hesitated for a while and said such a senseless thing.
"Nani? Do you want us, the frightened soldiers, to turn around and fight against the Sanada family's lunatics?"
Ieyasu smiled miserably with a distorted expression.
"No! My lord, I strongly advise you not to take the risk of reinforcements from the Takeda Cavalry and forcefully attack the three hundred Chibei Cavalry.
We cannot evacuate toward Futamata Castle, but must find another shortcut, such as evacuating to Gaotian God Castle."
Hattori Hanzo hesitated for a while and made another suggestion.
"Hahaha……"
After saying that, Tokugawa Ieyasu was the first to laugh, covering his mouth with a deep gloom in his eyes.
His smile was not that he was happy because Hattori Hanzo put forward his opinion, but more of a wry smile and helplessness.
He could see that the previously arrogant Sanhe elites, retainers and generals under his command were all at a loss.
Including myself, this was the first time to experience Sanada Ashigaru, such a shocking and bloody battle scene.
Even he had seen how powerful Takeda Chibi was when he faced Takeda Shingen for the first time on the battlefield and was beaten to a pulp.
There were also countless corpses. Tokugawa Ieyasu was so frightened that his face turned pale and he wet his pants, losing all face...
You must know that Ieyasu is the family governor. He has been sent to various territories as humiliating hostages since he was a child for the rise of the Matsumoto family. He is well-informed and a Warring States warrior who has truly walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Therefore, after Ieyasu regained his freedom, he formed the Mikawa Samurai Legion with astonishing combat effectiveness. Even his ally and sworn brother Oda Nobunaga was impressed and envious of its combat effectiveness...
However, I was afraid of comparing goods. From Ieyasu's point of view, no matter how amazing his own Mikawa samurai's combat power was, they were no match for the Takeda army in front of him.
If we say that the first attack on Longzhiyuan and Sangzhiyuan was because he and his retainers and generals underestimated the enemy and were careless.
After fighting for a long time, the Tokugawa army used its extreme advantage of 12,000 men to attack the Takeda family's 2,000 men, and still suffered a disastrous defeat.
If the retainers behind him still insist on a decisive battle, or remain so calm as before, then Tokugawa Ieyasu will be really surprised.
But now, he is very satisfied with Hattori Hanzo's performance!
You know, Hattori Hanzo's calmness during the entire battle had made Ieyasu unexpectedly satisfied.
No matter what Hattori Hanzo says, he is the biggest contributor today!
