Really speaking, there are not too many fierce generals in this reserve, so after thinking about it, Hojo Tsusunari decided to let his son Shifan go, although his son is not as good as Hojo Shizhao in terms of bravery, but he is also the number one fierce general in the Hojo family platoon, and he can suppress the other party. After making a decision, Hojo Tsusunari did not hesitate to order the Hojo clan to fight.

Now the Hojo clan is forty-three, although the age is not young, but it is still brave and abnormal, especially in terms of combat experience, it is much richer than the young Watanabe Shizuna, so after he stepped forward, although Watanabe Shigenuna was slightly better in moves, but every time he made a move, the other party was able to easily resolve it, so that although the two were not able to immediately distinguish the victory and defeat, but Hojo Tsunade also achieved his goal.

And within three or two rounds of fighting, Watanabe Shigetsuna couldn't help frowning, although the other party can't beat himself, but he can completely entangle himself, if it continues like this, then the situation that has just been stabilized will be disintegrated, but the other party is like a dog skin plaster to entangle him, not giving him a chance to get out of the fight at all, and Watanabe Shigetsuna is helpless, and it is also worth fighting. Fortunately, at this time, Muto Shunhide led the 4,000 troops in the middle to join the melee, otherwise the front battle might not take long to collapse. However, after its formation was put into battle, Hojo Tsusunari immediately led Huang Bei to join the battle group, and in the melee, Hojo Army Huang Bei still had the upper hand, after all, Ito Youbing's rear formation still needed to resist the enemy's attack on both sides, and it was impossible to invest more troops, and Hojo Tsusunari was also keenly aware of this, so he made the decision to press the whole army.

"Report to the lord, after our army fought with the enemy, because Lord Ito rushed forward and did not wait for the three armies to act together, it was caught by the enemy's three breads and fell into a bitter battle, and although in Tanaka, Honda and other adults rushed to the battlefield, the situation improved, but our army as a whole is still at a disadvantage, and please ask the lord to decide." I saw a Gaoshan family flag with a huge mountain pattern on his back jumped off his horse lightly, galloped to the front of the Gaoshan clan, and reported.

Since the clan clan's main formation was several miles away from the battlefield in front of him, he could only know the situation in front of him through the mouths of others.

Originally, he thought that he had invested more than 20,000 troops this time, and he would definitely open up the situation, but who would have thought that due to a small mistake by Ito's soldiers, he would let his own side fall into disadvantage, which made him feel very dissatisfied, but now it is too late to say anything, it is impossible for him to withdraw Ito's reserve at this time, once he does this, then there will be an avalanche of rout ahead. And now, if you want to recover the decline, there is only one way, and that is to continue to increase the number of troops.

However, although the clan rarely fought the enemy head-on, he knew very well that in a joint battle, if one side sent out the reserve first, it would inevitably boost the morale of the other party, after all, whoever sent more troops first meant that he already thought he was in a weak position. Therefore, after listening to this, the clan was somewhat hesitant, especially in this formation, the army that can be sent is only 5,000 ninja troops, as for the iron cannon and bow team, it is obviously not suitable to participate in the war now, and the flag samurai pair is not the last, and it cannot be easily put on the battlefield.

And if you don't continue to increase the number of troops, then there is another way, that is, to make adjustments to the military situation in front, of course, this adjustment is fine-tuning, after all, fighting is not a game of chess, by the clan to toss blindly, if the action is big, it is easy for the other party to seize the vacancy, and if you want to make adjustments, then you must have a great understanding of the battle situation ahead.

So when the other party finished speaking, he only heard the clan open his mouth and asked, "Let me ask you, after Ito Youbing fell into a bitter battle, what is Honda and the other troops doing, and what is Tanaka Katsusuke doing?" ”

"Back to the lord, the army under the command of Lord Honda and others is currently resisting the 10,000-person reserve under the command of the Hojo clan, Maeda, Watanabe, and Bee Suka, after seeing the Hojo clan regulations forming a flanking attack on Lord Ito, they immediately led their troops to outflank the south side of the Hojo clan and also formed a flank attack on it, but because the troops under the command of the three adults were small, and the Hojo clan regulations immediately made adjustments, so the three adults and Honda and other troops were not able to defeat it, and now the Hojo clan has stabilized the formation, and the two sides are in a stalemate.

Tanaka-sama, on the other hand, was well prepared before the engagement, and has now gained some advantages in the battle with the enemy. Please also ask the Lord to decide. ”

Because this time the flag warrior said in more detail, so the clan immediately formed a picture of the battlefield ahead in his mind, the opponent's three armies surrounded Ito You's soldiers, and he also formed a trap on the 10,000 people under the Hojo clan's rules, these four armies are definitely unable to move, and the only one who can make adjustments is the Tanaka Katsusuke who is now in the upper hand.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan ask again: "Did Katsusuke Tanaka's rear battle ever participate in the battle?" ”

"Back to the lord, Tanaka-sama is in reserve, at present, only the front is participating in the battle, the middle and rear formations are all used as reserve troops, and they have not participated in the battle, and their opponent Hojo Tsunade is the front to resist Tanaka-sama, and the middle formation is used to attack Ito-sama, and the rear 4,000 troops are used as reserves, and the lord is also invited to decide."

"Okay, I know, immediately send an order, order Katsusuke Tanaka to press the whole army, and be sure to attract all the attention of Hojo Tsunaka, so that he is not capable of pinning Ito Youbing." In the ever-changing battlefield, every order may change the tide of battle, so the clan made this decision after careful consideration, he believes that although the current battle situation in front of him is not good for his side, but he is willing to fight with Tanaka Katsusuke's conservative style, once he dares to press the whole army and put pressure on Hojo Tsunada, then the other party will no longer have the ability to form a flank attack on Ito Yubing, so that the military momentum on the south side of Ito Yubing is dragged by Honda and others, and once the Tanaka army increases the military investment on the north side, Then the momentum of the opponent's flanking attack on Ito's soldiers will collapse, and the battlefield situation will be as close as he thinks.

Yes, although it is true that the battlefield in front of the clan is the main battlefield, but he never thought about defeating the enemy on the main battlefield, which is exactly the opposite of Hojo Clan's idea, Clan Zong believes that as long as the Hojo clan is not stupid, then it will inevitably leave the most elite army of the Hojo family here, so that if the clan wants to win on the main battlefield, then it is inevitable to leave all the elites under his command, once this is done, if it can't win quickly, then Sakuma, Shibata and other troops will face greater pressure, Although these reinforcements have also completed the separation of soldiers and peasants, and they are also considered elite, but the clan knows that they are still inferior to the Hojo Army in terms of combat power, if they can't win, then it will be easy for the Hojo Army to win in the sub-battlefield, and at that time, after the other party defeats the coalition army, to aid the main battlefield, then how many troops they have is not enough, which will directly lead to the defeat of the decisive battle, which is too dangerous for their own side.

And the safest way is to be like this, as in the current one, on the main battlefield, as long as the enemy is dragged down, and the Ueno Army is sent to form an army of its own, so that the Hojo Army will be diverted, and the purpose of containing at least one Hojo Army will be achieved, which will greatly share the pressure of the coalition army, not only that, but in other battlefields, the current coalition army has an absolute advantage in the military situation, and the Hojo family is simply impossible to bully people with superior forces as before, and in the case of absolute superiority of troops, if they can't win, That's really unspeakable, once you win, you can directly lead the army to the main battlefield to help the battle, with these forces to join, the clan does not believe that the Hojo army can still be stopped, and if you want to complete this strategic goal, you must let the army on the main battlefield stabilize the position first.

After the lord gave the order, the samurai did not stop but immediately mounted his horse and rushed to the battlefield ahead.

After receiving the order, Katsusuke Tanaka did not hesitate, and immediately made adjustments to the ten thousand spear ashigaru teams under his command, and the first three thousand people were still fighting head-on with Hojo Tsunataka, without any changes, and the other seven thousand people, of which three thousand in the middle of the formation, quickly marched towards the north side of the opponent and wanted to encircle it, but Hojo Tsunataka is also a general who has led the army for decades, especially the Hojo Army is good at overall combat, so when he saw the opponent's mid-formation mobilization, he also reacted immediately and personally led the rear two thousand people to fight against it, Although he withstood the opponent's attack, but he had no extra military strength in his hands, and Tanaka Katsusuke still had four thousand reserves available, and now with the lord's order, he had nothing to hesitate about, after the opponent's rear formation moved, he personally led the remaining four thousand troops in his hands to continue to move closer to the north side of the Hojo Tsunade high rear formation, because there was no available military strength in the Hojo Tsunade master, so in the end it was still surrounded by Tanaka Katsusuke's three formations of ten spear ashigaru teams. At this moment, the situation of Hojo Tsunataka is becoming more and more crisis, and he is not much stronger than Ito Yubing, in order to be able to reverse the situation, Hojo Tsunataka has no choice but to give up the order to flank Ito Yu's reserve and resist the attack of Tanaka's reserve with all his might.

After the pressure on the north side disappeared, the army under the command of the Takayama family retainers on the south side also opened up the situation, although Wasuka Masakatsu, Maeda Toshiie, and Watanabe Moritsuna failed to achieve much success, but only attracted a lot of enemy troops and reduced the pressure on the Ito team, but because Honda Masanobu and others did not personally command, in addition to the fact that the combat strength of the Ashigaru was much worse than that of the Hojo Army, the 10,000-strong team of the Hojo clan was still calm, and this situation was immediately changed after Sanada Nobuki's 700 army attacked.

Originally, Sanada Nobuyi has been following Honda, Sanada and other military forces, as a reserve into the battlefield, but when he saw the front of the army can not make contributions, so he immediately made a decision, immediately led his seven hundred Shinano elite soldiers into the battlefield, Sanada Nobuyi in the heyday of Takeda Shingen, can serve as the main general of the Red Reserve First Team, its bravery does not need to be said at all, and even if it is one-on-one, it is not worse than Maeda Toshiie, Watanabe Moritsuna, and at the moment there are only three thousand enemy troops in front, once he leads the army to join the battle group, Then the situation will immediately change, at least to attract more forces from the enemy.

As soon as Sanada Nobuyi joined the battle group, he immediately showed his bravery, only to see that he led the 700 troops under his command to rush left and right, and immediately led the Hojo clan to lead the first chaos, after all, the opponent's strength is stronger in the formation, and once the large array is broken, then under the superior strength of the Takayama Army, even if the opponent's combat power is stronger, it will definitely not be able to resist.

After seeing this, the Hojo clan, who had always been calm, knew that if he still wanted to block the other party with the strength of the 3,000 troops in the first formation, it would be impossible, so as a last resort, he could only give up the entrapment of Ito's troops and transfer the 1,000 troops to the vanguard, and in order to continue to gain the initiative, he also transferred two 1,000 pairs of 1,000 people from the army situation that was occupied against Wasuka and others to the frontal battlefield, and after the 3,000 troops were mobilized, the situation was stabilized, but there was no longer enough strength to encircle Ito's soldiers.

And the reason why Ito's army has been at an absolute disadvantage is not because it has to face the attack of the enemy army on three sides, and now when the enemy on both sides is withdrawn, he can finally concentrate his forces and fight a decisive battle with Hojo Tsunari's Huang Bei, although when the army is concentrated on fighting with Hojo Huang Bei, his army is still at a disadvantage, but there is no danger of collapse, and Hojo Tsunade has lost the best opportunity to defeat the opponent, so he has no choice but to change his tactics and gather the troops under his command that have been scattered on the battlefield, form a formation in batches, and use the formation to fight the enemy's Ito reserve. It's not impossible to continue the melee, but the price of the melee is too great, the Takayama Army lost the power of the East Country, but the Hojo family can't afford to lose, especially Huang Bei under his command, this is the most elite military strength of the Hojo family, there is no one, once the loss is too large, then even if the personnel can be not filled, but the combat power is not at all able to make up for a while and a half, so every ashigaru is precious. If you want to reduce your losses, then the best way to fight the enemy in a position is to do so.

After the Takayama clan gave the order, the situation on the main battlefield returned to what the clan had hoped, but it was getting farther and farther away from the Hojo clan's expectations.

In the main battlefield of the Hojo Army, the mother of the Hojo family is constantly shuttling between the battlefield and the main formation, at the very beginning, the Hojo clan Masaichi connected to a few good news, which made him feel very good, especially after hearing that the opponent's 10,000 people team was surrounded by the three armies of the family, he was even more excited to stand up, at this time, he already thought that the goal he set was about to be achieved, after all, after preparing the army from the five colors of the family, there was no army that could not collapse under the siege of the three armies of the family. The Takeda Army is not good, the Imagawa Army is not good, and the Takayama Army is also not good, and once this army can be defeated, it will be a matter of time before the other two armies of the enemy are defeated.
