Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 59: Ueno Cavalry

When the army of the Takeda family re-entered Ueno, they began to wipe out several disobedient local families in Ganle County and Dohu County, and put down most of the rebellion in Ganle County and Dohu County in one fell swoop. All this made Takeda Yoshinobu, who had insisted on this route of Ueno country, was very happy, and firmly believed that his choice was correct.

   After the rebellion was put down, Takeda Katsuyoshi and Obata Kenshige felt that they had to march quickly. After passing Shirane Mountain Road, they could enter Shinano. But Takeda Yoshinobu felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry at the moment, because Uesugi Kenshin's Echigo Army was besieging Tatebayashi Castle and had no time to worry about Takeda's side. Even if the Echigo Army arrived now, there was enough time to evacuate.

   Therefore, Takeda Yoshinobu insisted that he had to wait for the affidavits of surrender from these tycoons and the hostages to send him, so it was delayed for a few more days.

   After entering Yonglu four years and February, Uesugi Kenshin returned to Ueno again, and first led the army to surround Tatebayashi Castle by surprise. Two days later, Tatebayashi Castle was breached by the Echigo Army, and Tatebayashi Castle's Lord Akai Family Akai Terukake rushed out, and then fled to the Utsunomiya Family in Shimoguni and asked for asylum.

   The Akai family, who was born in the Fujiwara Kita family, a powerful local noble family in Ueno country, was destroyed in this way, and Uesugi Kenshin's thunderous methods once again shocked Ueno.

   The local tycoons in Ganle County and Dohu County have just been suppressed, and they have repeated their thoughts again. Not only did they reject the Takeda family’s requests, such as affidavits, hostages, etc., some bold and powerful families have begun to organize troops and attack the Takeda family’s army.

When the Takeda Army’s main line passed through the country roads in Ganraku County a few days ago, it was unexpectedly hit by a large-scale attack by several local tycoons. In this attack, even the tycoons mobilized more than a dozen iron cannons. Lian’s position was shooting with guns.

   Although Takeda Nobuyasu himself was safe and sound, the Takeda Army successfully repelled the attack and killed dozens of people, but all this indicates that the Takeda Army is now starting to struggle in Ueno.

At the same time, to make matters worse, it is said that the ninja came to report that the Nagano clan of Minoruan Castle finally sent troops. This time, the Nagano clan gathered two thousand troops. The new governor of the Nagano clan was only fifteen years old. .

In the army, there are not only Nagano Kotsu, Nagano Kokatsu, Nagano Koko, and such fierce generals as Nagano’s clan, but also known as the Nagano 16-gun, so that it can be one-to-one against a hundred samurai, and among the 16-guns, the most famous is “Nagano”. Shangquan Nobuzuna, known as "a gun".

   In addition, after the Echigo Army captured Tatebayashi Castle, it also kept running non-stop, and rushed towards the Takeda family's West Ueno expedition army toward Ganraku County.

   Hearing the news, the Takeda family must speed up to move towards Shirane Mountain, otherwise they will really be encircled by the Nagano family and Uesugi family armies.

   But when the Takeda Army traveled along this route, it was repeatedly intercepted and harassed by the tycoons of Ueno. They destroyed bridges on the road, sniped Takeda’s envoys, and attacked the soldiers who were alone. At the same time, the Takeda troops harassed them when they camped at night.

   All of this delayed the speed of the Takeda army, and it was precisely at this time that the two thousand troops of the Nagano family caught up with the Takeda Katsurai team, who was in charge of the rear of the Takeda army.

   In the mountains where the noon sun shines, there are mountains everywhere, the mountains are winding and rugged paths, and the sunlight falls through the dense foliage in the forest.

   On a clearing in the mountains, there was a series of hooves of horses hooves. After the mountain pass, there were more than 30 horseback riding teams with flag fingers on their backs, and their flag fingers were painted with the Nagano family's cypress fan. These Nagano cavalrymen looked at the rear team of Takeda Katsura who was going away, and hesitated whether to come forward and pursue it.

   Ueno has pastures and is prolific with war horses, so many of the local samurai regiments also have horses.

   Among them, the most famous is Oaba Akabi.

In the Nagasino battle, the Takeda family that had already taken possession of the entire West Ueno at that time, it was the Ueno cavalry team led by Kenju Oba and Nobuada Obata, as the attacking triple formation, breaking through the several lines set by the Oda family. Defensive horse fence, directly attacked the main formation of Oda Army where Oda Nobunaga was. Oda Nobunaga himself was shocked by the impact of the "Obata Akabi" formed by the Ueno cavalry. This is the Nagano’s outpost cavalry team. They have harassed Takeda Katsuyori’s troops several times today, and on one occasion they caused a little loss to the Zuqing team. However, their main purpose was to delay Takeda Katsuyori's marching speed and buy time for the Nagano army's main force and the Echigo Army who rushed to the rear.

Because of Takeda Yoshinobu’s stupid insistence, the Takeda’s Nishiteno expeditionary army was plunged into a very dangerous situation. Nevertheless, Takeda Yoshinobu refused to admit his mistakes during the morning's provisional military meeting, and even proposed to return The Nagano Army’s plan for World War I.

  This really caused the rest of the Takeda family to collapse, but Takeda Shinren also knew that now is not the time to be held accountable. It is the best way to pass through the Shirane Mountains quickly. At the moment, in the Nishiueno conquest army, in addition to the main line, the strongest Takeda Katsuyoshi team and Obata Kenji take turns to serve as the rear army, while the rest of the teams rushed to Baimiao Mountain.

   At the moment in the Takeda Katsushika team, the small lotus group carrying food and grass has just passed on the small road. This is definitely a piece of fat in the eyes of the Ueno cavalry. The Xiaohetuo group of the Takeda Army was struggling on the mountain road. From time to time, there were workhorses sinking into the mud pit. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was once separated from the brigade. In the Xiaohetuo group, most of them were ordinary foot light and grooms. There is a warrior in charge of command, and the Takeda Army naturally knows the importance of the small lotus pack group. At the same time, it arranged a group of more than 30 people with light guns and an iron gun group to guard it.

   Seeing that the Takeda Army’s Xiaohetuo group was so weak in defense, the Ueno Cavalry finally couldn't bear it, and dozens of horses rushed towards the Xiaohetuo group in two separate ways.

   Faced with the galloping Ueno cavalry, the soldiers of the Takeda family shouted loudly to remind each team that the rear was under attack.

Under the order of the head of the iron gun group, more than 20 iron gun groups stood in two rows in a kneeling position. After hurriedly firing a row of guns at the Ueno cavalry, they immediately disbanded and ran back with their guns and their feet. The effect of this platoon gun shooting only overturned a horseback warrior on the other side.

After the iron artillery group retreated, more than 20 people from the Takeda family lined up in a tight array of guns. They knew that their team had learned the news of the attack on the small lotus group, and the teams were rushing towards reinforcements here. So they only need to withstand the first round impact of the Ueno Cavalry.

While the Ueno cavalry speeded up, they opened their bows and arrows on their horses one after another, and shot down several foot soldiers in one round of shooting. , Throwing down their spears and fleeing all around.

   The spear retreated lightly, and the steward who was in charge of guarding the packhorses and the weak-fighting Zuqing also fleeed desperately at the moment, and the scene was once very chaotic.

   The Ueno cavalry saw that the Takeda Army was so vulnerable, they couldn't help laughing immediately, but they didn't bother to hunt down these deserters.

   A cavalryman stabbed the bag carried by the packhorse with a lance, and saw that what was seeping from the mouth of the bag was not white rice, but black soil.

   "It's not good, we got the trick." The samurai leader of the riding team yelled.
